WHEAT IS GREATLY IMPROVED

Outlook For an -Average Crop la Very Good at Present. Chicago, July 9.—The Modern Miller’s crop outlook bulletin says - Harvesting of wheat is progressing as far north as the northern part of Kansas, and where threshing has been done the yields are better than expected, in extreme cases as much as thirty bushels an acre being reported. In a few cases the yields are even larger than this. Oklahoma reports twelve to fifteen bushels as the highest yields, and the crop will average about normal. Great improvement reported in Indiana, Illinois and Missouri, and larger yields are expected than looked for a month ago. Ohio and Pennsylvania expect good yields. Spring wheat crop has not gone backward. Conditions are favorable in three states, although there have been some complaints of lack gt moisture in North Dakota. Crops of western Canada holds in balance and conservative men fear losses from recent frost there. Corn is backward, owing to upfavorabl" weather.
