Grain Prospects At Harvest Time
Rain totals from October 1875 to April 1876 show 6.81 inches, with 5.82 inches from April to October 1876 and 0.894 inches in April and May. 1876-77 rainfall reached 16.28 inches, 8.60 inches above the prior period.

If rainfall remains average, grain yield could be enormous amid global grain shortages and a subdued European market, suggesting higher prices next harvest. W. W. Union, 14th.
