Although the northern demand for eggs Is not as active as it was, buying for local torage account has become more urgent and higher prices have gone into the country for this week's shipment. The general quo- tation yesterday was 23 cents, though It U understood some of the buyers put out a quotation of Srt.05 a case. Local storage stocks are not heavy, as the bulk of the eggs during the flush wero bought by north ern firms, and as arrivals are now falling off. local speculators evidently think ix is time for them to gst busy. Butter prices were unchanged, but the market wss weak with a smaller demand from Seattle. Poultry and dressed meat receipts were light and both lines were steady. Canned Milk Advances Again. An advance of 15 cents a case on two makes of canned milk, the Carnation and Aster, was annonuced yesterday. This is the second 15-cent advance on these brands that has lately occurred.

The wheat crop of Douglas County this year is not expected to exceed 60 por cent of the bumper crop of 1915. Tho Wenatchee Milling Company has been informed by men in close touch with the general condi tions that the acreage seeded this year is far short of last year and 10 per cent less than that of V'l-- The larger part of the acreage is planted to Spring wheat and only a fair growth has been made because of the lateness of the season. The condition of Winter wheat, which amounts to approximately one-fifth of the acreage. Is fine. Tho ranchers who took the chance last Fall fared exceptionally well. Planted under unfavorable conditions when the ground wss dry, the record snow fall protected it and left it in good shape this Spring. LLNN FRUIT OUTLOOK IS GOOD Conditions Reported Favorable for Big Prune Crop. ALBANY. May 21. (Special.) Conditions are favorable for a big prune crop through out this section of the state this year. This is the report of D. W. Rumbaugh, county fruit inspector of Linn County. He says the trees are heavily laden with fruit, and have not been injured either by frost or the late rain.. A great many prunes are grown in this vicinity. The cherry yield will b light, Mr. Rum baueh reports. He says that a fair crop will be harvested in some localities, but in others it is almost a failure. Heavy rains late in the season after tho trees were in bloom, are blamed tor Ibis condition. MUTTON RUN LIGHT Receipts of Smaller Cattle Are Also for Opening, LOCAL DEMAND IS ACTIVE Hogs Sell at Stock Yards Dime High er Than Saturday at $9.10 Buy ers Pay $9 for Best Cows. Sheep Prices Unchanged. The run of livestock at the North 'Portland 3 eras yesterday was not as heavy as on for mer Mondays. Sheep receipts, especially, were disappointing.

Official Forecast of Kansas Yield Ei- rerda Private Estimates -liraaka Outlook Also Better. CHICAGO, Msy ?2. Bearish crop reports from Kansas and Nebraska caused a sharp break today in the value of wheat. Prices closed heavy, 3c to 3iftr3!io net lower, with July at $1.084 0J1.O8H and Heptcmber at $l.o9V, fel.OS-t4. Other leading staples, too, all underwent a setback, corn 2W to 2 tv 2-"-C; oats 1C and provisions 10c to 40c. Surprise in regard to the Kansas official estimates of yield gave rise to the most aggressive selling which was witnessed dur ing the day in the wheat pit. The fore cast was tor a harvest of 108.OO0.0O bush els, whereas recent -private reports had in dicated less than 100,000.000 bushels. The fact was pointed out that the official fig ures made no allowance for acreage plowed up since April 20, but this circumstance ap peared to make ro difference in the effect on prices. Even before the Kansas report was known, the bears hsd sn unmistakable advantage, chiefly because of advices that Nebraska, in spite of lessened acreage, might equal the harvest of 1915, as great im provement had been txiado In the last 10 days. About the only buying support for wheat came fnpm shorts who wore In a position to realize profits. Export demand lor do- mr-stlc wheat .nras confined to durum, of which 200,000 bushels were sold at the seaboard. Corn gave way with wheat, and as a re sult of ideal weather for the growth of com. ' There were also predictions of en larged receipts here. In oats, as in other grains, bulls were handicapped by the favorable crop outlook. Prices on hogs pulled down provisions. No support appeared until the market all around was at a decidedly lower level. Leading futures ranged as follows: WHEAT. Open. High. Low. Cts.

Kan., May 22. A prospective yield of 10S.000.000 bushels of Winter wheat in Kansas this year was forecasted In a re port covering conditionsup to May 17, is sued todsy by J. C. Mohlcr secretary of the State Board of Agriculture. Compared with a similar report Issued at this time last year, a depreciation of 28.000.000 bush els is shown. Today's report says: "The loss is mainly in the so-called 'wheat belt' of the central third of the state, because of Hessian fly and dry weather, and in some of tho western counties, through lack of sufficient moisture. In the eastern part the prospect has been pretty well maintained. The green bug caused considerable damage in several south cen tral counties." County reports suggest that only about 80 per cent of the area that will be de voted to corn is planted and that much of the planted corn has not yet made its ap pearance through the ground. It has been generally too cold for corn. Coffee Futures Lower. NEW YORK, May 22.

(Spe cial.) Early crop reports indicate that there will be a general shortage in the North west, as compared with previous years, be. cause of the severe and long Winter and the frosts of this month thst entirely wiped out all fruit of this chsracter in Idaho.
