graded from hero to Hennie. but tnere has been considerable delay owing to Uio non-arrival of ties, that were looked for In tno winter, but owing to transportation difficulties these ties could not bo got through. All tho steel work as rails, spikes, switches, is stored here awaiting the opportunity for It being put into use, but up till now, says J. L. McArlhur, the principal contractor, the weather has held tilings back.

A large staff of men are engaged In the work, but there is still a very considerable shortage. It wos thought to have got this section finished by July 1. but such is not likely now to be the case. More would have been done In tho winter If there hadn't been a shortage of labor, hut there is now a considerable immigration of tho class of labor thai is re-(liiired for railway work, and others are coming from Furope. Portage Westward.

Tho G.T.r. itself is doing the work west of i'ortage la I'rairie. So advanced Is it that a contract is shortly to be let for the tirst round house at tho first terminal north of Brandon. The officials attach little Importance to the labor difficulty at Portage, and still maintain that their part of the contract has been tilled to 1 1 10 last lota, and there is no cause for the dissatisfaction expressed by certain of the Imported employees. It will be recalled that last year some thirty-three miles, were laid out of I'ortage and these are now being ballasted.

The company has put a small force out. Xo Importance Is Httacned to the statement that the location from Portage to Winnipeg may be changed, and the position of the union terminal here has already been stated. Plans are now prepared for the depot al I'ortage, which will accommodate both the Midland and the G.T.P., and upon which it is hoped to commence work this summer. Transportation difficulties are still affecting thn work being rushed, and much depends upon improved freight facilities if thn new road is to get Into shape soon. Among local firms under-faking big contracts are the McMillan and the Canadian White the former especially making a big effort.

'9 ID DAY'S MARKETS H.V. JONES ANNUAL REPORT Crop Expert Reports That Wheat Supply Will Not be Equal to Demand Little Change in Quotations Today.

The following crop report, mado by H. V. Jones, the well-known cmp expert, was made public today. The report is "bullish." The report points out tho cereul supply will not bo up to requirements: The report Is secured by tho cnur tesy of Messrs. I'iper Grain KxchmiRO.

The Report. "Minneapolis, May 2i, 1907. "We have refrained from making any statement on the wheat yield In the United Slates until such time as a maximum total might be auuonuced with tho assurance that the figures would stand as approximately final for the maximum of production. We would place this maximum at 32.i.0oo,-000 bushels, or 170,000,000 bushela less th'an lust year. Net Crop.

"There Is no reasonable ground for placing spring wheat production above last year, government figures being 24O.n0O.O0O. I'sing that total for spring production, the best the United States can do Is bushels, of which 50.000.000 will be macaroni, leaving the net crop of spring and winter ills, 000. 000, or considerably less than tho country's requirements. It Is by no means certain tho spring crop will equal last year. Crop Failure.

Texas and Oklahoma are a failure and Kansas will produce tho smallest crop In years. Indeed there Is chance the Kansas crop may prove next month to be almost a failure In which case tho winter yield would decline close to 3oo.000.00ii bushels. Kansas will nat exceed Hfl.Otm.ooti bushels at best, if it all iieads, but it is doubtful if this happens. Damage by Frost. The plant is going backward fast uiule drought that prevented a start In the spring, frost that has done more damage than Is now realized and bugs that threaten a new outbreak in the state in northern counties.

Tlio contest is now moved, therefore, lo Nebraska, whero drougnt lias already weakened the plant The Green Bug. The green bug Is ail over the state but it is too early to make a deduction of the damage for that state on account of insect damage, and we have not included such damage in the above total. Neither we anticipate Injury to the spring crop from bugs or weather beyond the probabilities of the most ohnormaiiy season tho country has experienced in years. Tho Canadian crop is admittedly short so that European requirements will fall quitn heavily upon tho United States next year with only a moderate amount from reserves available for export. The loss in farm productions this year wiil bo large." Winnipeg Options.
