If the exportable surplus goes across tha continent, as seems likely, for it is believed that no other channel will bo open, the nrocedura will have to be on a dif ferent plan from that followed in the'paat season. Dealers experiences la handling Eastern business have been by no means satisfactory and their troubles have been further ag gravated by the difficulty in getting grain through. In some Instances they have had to wait three or four months for their re turns. Under these conditions they are not disposed to accept new business. Ordinary margins do not cover the risk, and in this respect,, at least, there will have to be -a change in the coming season. As things are now a cent or two advance or decline at -Chicago means nothing here. With Coast demand at a low ebb, the only outlet for Pacific Northwestern wheat is in the East, but for the reasons given above the local dealers are not going after the business. At the Merchants Exchange eUl wheat bids were unchanged yesterday notwithstanding Chicago options were lc to 2c higher. The oats market was firmer and otters were raised 25 cents. There is practically no selling by farmers. Barley is stronger in sympathy with the advances in Cali atarnla. where the market has been strength enod by tho lack of rain. According to a Chicago report Snow esti mates the Winter wheat crop at 492.000.000 bushels. Broomhall's summary of foreign conditions follows: United Kingdom Weather fairly season able and seeding is progressing moderately. Acreage will be short. France Crop advices are favorable, as a whole, on the smaller acreage planted. Re cent official estimates of good promise are taken with reserve. Our agent's reports are not favorable either as to growing conditions or aereatca. as labor has been very scarce and weather generally unfavorable. Germany All advices received show weather and crops favorable. Supplies are reported as adequate, as a result of ship ments from Balkan States and rigid econ omy is practiced. Russia Some complaints continue to come to hand regarding lateness of crops. Acre age is reduced materially. Supplies are scanty and it is believed that growers are holding large reserves. Balkan Slates Weather Springlike and crop outlook favorable. - Australia Outlook unchanged and on the whole not favorable. South Australia and West Australia still drouthy. Italy Cereal and forage crops promise wetl. Weather generally favorable. India Weather favorable and harvesting is about finished. Offers of wheat remain light.

Th. monthly bulletin of the Caldwell Idaho) Commercial Sank says of crop and market conditions in that section: Th. greater part of the Spring seeding cf grain Is now in and some of the earlier sowing is up. The Fall-sawn grain is look ing fine, but a rain at this time would be of much benefit. There has been but little rainfall during the past 30 days, and the meadows are being irrigated. There was Quite a heavy frost on April IS, but the dam age to fruit was very light. Wheat has shown a slight advance during the past 3l days, but the market is un steady. There is still considerable wheat in hands of the farmers. The Oaldwell Milling & Elevator Company reports paying $1.40 cwt. for wheat, f 1.15 cwt. for oats and $1.25 cwt. for barley. There is a very active demand for hay, and $9 per ton is being paid In the stack and $12 per ton baled f. o. b. cars here. Thi surplus hay will all be cleaned up before the new crop. Practically all of the fat cattle have been marketed and at good prices. The demand for good dairy and range cows is greater than the supply, and high prices are being paid for choice corcvs. A number of sheep sales have been re ported. Some sales call for immediate de livery and some for June delivery. "We are informed the price paid for mixed range ' ewes of from 2 to 3 years old and upwards is $-1.2o per head. The lamb contracts for July delivery are reported at (5 per head. Several range growers report contracting their wool, and the price received, is from 23 to 25 cents per pound. Range condi tlons and high prices are causing many to sell out .their entire holdings. Dealers here are paying $S cwt. for fat hogs. The supply, however, is getting short. Most all of the larmers are planning on raisin e large supply for Fall feeders, and we predict that there will be more hogs raised this year than for any previous year. The Caldwell Horse & Mule Company re ports business good in that line, and expects a big sale In May. This sale will begin May 2 and continue as long as necessary. It is expected that more tr-an 1K10 head of horses ill be offered for sale, and a number of buyrrs have signified their intention of being present. There is still a strone demand for hens, but other lines are dull. Today's quota tions on hens, live weight, is 11 tents per pound: turkeys, 13 cents, and to 8 cents for ducks and geese. Egg receipts have been bavy and con tinu.; good. Two car lots were shipped out in the past two we-ks. besides heavy local shipments. Today's cash quotation is 17 H c nts per doren. Cream receipts are cn the increase, and price remained steady during the last SO days. Today's price is 27 cents for butter fat and 20 cents for sweet cream. OVE CKXT DECI-INE IX LOCAL BITTER Egg Market Is Steady at 1-Hst Week' Closing Price.. . There was a decline of 1 cent a pound in ' local butter and butter fat prices, effective yesterday morning. The top quotation on city prints Is now 29 cents. Country cub were quoted at 25&2S cents. The egg market was steady at a range of 21 cents to 22 cents, case count, according to quantity.
