VICE, Portland, Or., May 3L The past week
has not been altogether favorable for the
growing crops; the (Saris' were -warmer than
usual, but the nights were cool and several
frosts occurred, but the damage done by them
was ellght and confined principally to tender
Vigo table i, such as beans, tomatoes, etc Some
fruit, however, was killed in the Grand Ronde
Valley and a few other localities east of the
Cascade Mountains. The rains early Tuesday
moraine occurred after the following reports
were made. They were not only timely, but
well distributed, and give promise of con
tinuing for another day or so, tn which case
they will be sufficient for all needs and greatly
stimulate the growth of late crops.
Late wheat Is coming up to poor stands, and
corn, potatoes and gardens are grpwlng slow
ly. .Forage crops, except timothy, are doing
well, and the first crop of alfalfa la being
harvested with satisfactory yields. Stock
everywhere 1b in excellent condition. Fall
wheat, barley and rye are heading nicely, and
these crops are generally In a very promising
condition, notwithstanding that eome lowland
wheat in Umatilla County was badly damaged
by freezing weather " earlier in the season.
Hops are growing nicely and the hop men
have now caught up with their work, so that
the yards generally are well cultivated.
Strawberries are ripe, and home-grown ber
ries will be plentiful in the markets during
the week. Apples have eet well. Prunes
will be light, but peaches, pears and cherries
are turning out better than expected earlier

General Crop Report.
WASHINGTON, May 31. The weekly -sum
mary of crop conditions, issued cy tne weatn
r Bureau today, says:
With the exception of the Northern Rocky
Mountain region and the Upper Missouri and
Upper Mississippi Valley, where the early
nart of the weex was too cooi, tne tempera
ture of the week ending May 30 was favor
able in all districts, and especially to the
eastward of the Mississippi River and In the
west Gulf states. Oklahoma and portions of
Iowa. Missouri. Wisconsin. Ohio and Penn
tfvlvanla have suffered from excessive mols
tur. while drouth continues over a large part
of the South Atlantic and east. Gulf states.
Well distributed and beneficial rains fell over
greater pan oi jom ku -co central
Tn.v-r Mountain slope. Light frosts occurred
, Wisconsin and heavy damaging frosts In
xrntana. Idaho and the eastern portions of
TZLmtm and Washington. Continued northerly
grinds caused considerable damage to fruit
. .,;blr Injured grain in California. Rain
Is generally needed on the North .Pacific
Coast.
On the North Pacific Coast. Winter wheat
has done well except in portions of Eastern
Washington, where it has been injured some
what by -frosts. In California, the crop Is
maturing rapidly, but has probably sustained
Injury by drying winds. On the North Pa
cific Coast early Spring wheat Is doing well,
but rain is needed for the late-sown.

DAY'S NEWS IS IGNORED

FAVORABLE FEATURE6.
Previous Condition of Lethargy Con
tinues In New York Stock Market-Money
Is Easy.
NEW YORK, May 31. Three days of leisure
for the contemplation of stock market pros
pects did not result Jn any accession of specu
lative confidence so far aa revealed by the
meager dealings and the halting and narrow
fluctuations today. The market showed no
essential change from its recent lethargic
character. The firm tone of the London mar
ket and the Saturday bank statement, which
was called favorable by commentators, were
worth a fractional rise this morning, which
amounted to an average of about Prices
then slipped back to below last Friday's level.
The nominal cause was the suspension of a
firm on the "cotton exchange, but, although
the failure was announced as due to a de
falcation with no bearing on the market of
financial conditions, tho market failed to re
cover its lost ground. News of the day
was not important, but it offered some more
favorable features than for some time past.
The market Ignored these. The weekly crop
bulletin of the Weather Bureau was encour
aging as regarding the Winter wheat crop.
and was distinctly hopeful for the start of
the Spring wheat crop. The cotton crop also
was shown to have Improved. The tenor of
the weekly talks by traffic officials of the
railroads was distinctly affected by the bright
er hopes felt for tho crops, which have had
some effect in turning the downward slide
of railroad traffic In evidence since the mid'
die of April. The Erie statement was the
important example today, with" Its decline In
April not compared with last year of $233,313.
cr nearly 20 per cent. The stocks of the
comuany suffered from this showing.
The Paris money market gave further sign
of the satisfaction of it demand for gold.
but the price of sterling exchange continued
to advance and the possibility of a movement
of cold to London direct was discusseu.
Money was easy la all departments of the
money market as a result of the name state
ment. There was a light covering movement
by shorts late In tho day, but the closing was
easy.
A number of Inactive Donas maae wiae ae-

BREAK IN MAY WHEAT.
Came Late and Did Not Seriously Affect
Other Deliveries at Chicago.
CHICAGO, May 31. The break in May
wheat did not come until near the close of
the day's trading. The market opened weak
as a result of lower prices a Liverpool. July
Started c down at 8585c Sentiment
soon changed, however. Figures connected
with the weekly statistics of international
trado were lesa bearish than they have been
for some weeks past, and excessive rains had
fallen In many sections of the Southwest.
The bullish reports from the Southwest were
partially substantiated by liberal purchases
by St. Louis houses and by the strength in
that market. The corn market here also
showed decided strength. In consequence, an
Improved demand developed in the wheat pit.
The weakness with which trading began was
not only arrested, but was in a short time
retraced by a fair degree of strength. On
a good commlsston-bouse demand, July graa
ually advanced to 86c After the first hour
th market experienced a long interval 01
dullness, transactions being largely 01
scalping nature. The question as to tne size
of the outstanding short lines of May wheat
had acted as a check on many traders, but
as the session wore away without any sensa
tional uDturn In the price of that delivery tne
conviction that shorts had practically covered
their lines gained ground. This resuitea in
large selling In future deliveries, causing a
weak undertone. During the last hall nour
fha ffnttir of the trading was the wiae
fluctuations of May. In which month, however,
llcht. From 93c. the
price suddenly dropped to 93c. A quick
rallv to 98c followed. The close was at 97c.
in.. ninir off to S5Uc July closed at
85c
An active demand from snorts, wuu com
paratlvely light receipts, caused an extremely
strong corn market. Aavices irom wu
Kansas were bullish, the crop in inai sec
tinr, h!nr renorted greatly injured by floods
ThB market closed strong. July opened at
inr. Hold un tn 48048c. and closed at 47c,
Oats were quiet and Influenced mainly by
the action of other grains. After opening
unchanged to c lower, at 3803Sc July
closed at 3S03S4c
.!.-!.,.. tnncr rn an active Com
mission-house demand,. Big shipments ofiog
products for the past week were mainly re
sponsible for the improved demand. July pork
closed at a gain of 45047c -July lard wis
up 12c and ribs showed a gain 01 iic

Good Oranges Scarce and Firm-Old

Dairy Products Easy.
SAN FRANCISCO. May 3L (Special.) The
important event In grain market was the ar
rival of the first carload of California new bar- 1
ley of the season from San Joaquin Valley, one
day ahead of last season's first arrival. The new
grain was well matured and classed as choice
bright feed, and was auctioned at $1.07,
that price being a premium over the asking
rate for old feed and given for the honor of
securing the first new barley. Old barlev
was weaker for spot and futures on heavy
arrivals, liberal offers, the advent of the
now crop and predicted showers. Wheat also
weakened. Oats, feedstufts and hay were
steady, with moderate business.
The fruit market was liberally supplied with
berries, cherries, apricots and figs all quoted
lower, with trade fairly active. Good oranges
were In slender supply and firm. At the auc
tion yesterday six carloads of navels and
Valenclas, mostly in poor condition, 6old at
5c0$2.15. Bannnns and pineapples were in
ample supply, but selling well. Cantaloupes
and watermelons from tho South -were in
moderate supply.
New potatoes were active and steady de
spite liberal receipts from the. river. Old
potatoes were weak and dragging. New red
onions were easy. Strlnjc beans declined
under large receipts. The first Alameda
green corn of superior quality arrived. Good
tomatoes were firm.
Dairy products, except fins- ranch eggs, were
weak, Los Angeles buyers have withdrawn
from tho local butter market. Receipts, three
