As regards winter wheat, the prospects
are for an average crop with favorable
weather, but there are no indications of
a full or excessive crop. The winter
wheat crop of the country is to-day very
uneven, and has run down in condition
and prospective yield during the last
thirty days. Tho harvest will be twelve
or fifteen days earlier than an averauu
season, and, owing to the failure of 18S5,
the now wheat premises to move freely
and early, irrespective of price. Some of
the early varieties of wheat have already
been harvested in Tennessee, Kentucky
and Southern Illinois, but the harvest
will not be general before the 15th of
June.
