EAST WOULD RESELL
Wheat Can Be Bought Back
Under Prevailing Prices.
LOCAL MARKET DEPRESSED
Bids at Merchants' Exchange Are
Reduced 3 to 8 Cents Oats
Change Hands at 7 3 Cents
Decline Barley Lower.
The Tvheat market showed mors acuta
signs of weakness yesterday than at any
time for weeks. Blda at the- Merchants
Exchange were reduced sharply as com
pared with Monday's prices, blueatem being"
off 7 to 8 cents, fortyfold and club S to 7
cents and red Russian 3 cents. Asked
prices were lower In proportion, but demand
was lacking.
It was impossible to sell wheat East even
at the lower levels. Eastern buyers who
had bought 'Western wheat were willing; to
oil It back at prices considerably less than
tlioe prevailing In the Coast markets.
While peace talk was the chief Influence
In breaking- the speculative markets in the
lOast, the improved crop conditions was also
a factor and so, too, was an estimate Issued
that there will be a surplus of 23,000,000
to 30.00O.O00 bushels In this country to be.
carried over into the new crop.
The coarse grain markets were also de
pressed. One hundred tons of May oats
were sold at the Exchange at $53.25. a de
cline of 75 cents from Monday's bid. Of
fers for barley were reduced BO cents to
$1 a ton.
The Liverpool cable reported wheat easier
with favorable advices from Winnipeg.
Kradstrcets estimated the world's wheat de
crease (European figures missing) at 7,250,
000 bushels, the corn decrease at 2.732.000
bushels, and the oats decrease at 724,000
bushels. Two Australian cargoes of wheat
are reported to be on the way to the Pacific
Coast.
Terminal receipts, in cars, were reported
by the Merchants Exchange as follows:

17MATILLA CROP NEARLY A I.I. IS
About 75 Ter Cent of Wheat This Tear Will
Be Spring Sown.
The following special crop report from
S. B. Calderhead, general agent at Walla
Walla, has been received by W. C. Wilkes,
assistant general freight and passenger agent
Of the Spokane, Portland A- Seattle line:
"Heavy rains throughout the entire terri
tory for the past week have delayed Spring,
seeding.
"Umatilla County, on account of Fall
own grain falling to come forward, 70 to
75 per cent of crop will be Spring sown.
About 5 per cent yet to seed, and much of
what la already sown la making good show
ing and Is well rooted. Plenty of moisture
and no further rains needed for some weeks.
"Walla Walla County, 70 per cent Spring
seeding. Nearly all done. About 5 per cent yet
to seed, but this Is along the foothills and
has plenty of time to mature. The Fall
seeding is making good growth and much
grain seeded earlier in the Spring Is well
footed and making good growth and color.
"Columbia County, Wash., 85 per cent of
crop Spring seeding, not more than 60 per
cent- done; delayed by rains and will be a
week before farmers can get to it under most
favorable conditions. Crop will probably not
all be In ground before June 1 to 5. No un
easiness is felt as to conditions, other than
at general opinion that it will be short about
10 per cent.
"Weather continues threatening."
EW CALIFORNIA POTATOES RECEIVED
Garnet Chiles Sell at 1113 Cents round.
Old rotators Iull.
A shipment of new Game-. Chile potatoes
was received from California yesterday and
put on sale at 11 -ft 12 cents a pound. The
market for old potatoes remains very slack.
On the street .lobbing prices ranged from $4
to SI.50. Shippers, reported no demand
whatever from outside points and gave the
buying price as nominal at $3.75.
The vegetable market was well supplied,
particularly" with asparagus and peas, both
of which were weaker. A car of Wtnnlng
stadt cabbage arrived and sold at 8 cents.
A car of Texas yellow onions will be on hand
today and a car of whit onions Is near at
hand.
Los Angeles strawberries cleaned up well
at (1.60 a crate. The price may be higher
today. ,
DEMAND FOR BUTTER HAS IMPROVED
Eggs are Steady With Storage Operators
Taking Surplus.
. The demand for butter, both local and
hipping, was a shade better yesterday, but
there was little change In price.
Eggs were steady with sales at 83 cents In
a small way, but the larger part of the
business was at 81 cents.
The demand for poultry continues slow, but
prices rule steady, as receipts are small.
Xressed meats are also steady.
Early-Sown Grain Doing; Well.
A. B. Jackson, general agent of the Spo
kane, Portland &: Seattle Railway, at Fpo
fcane, reports:
"Weather during the past week; more or
less raining. Considerable acreage remains
yet to. be seeded with Spring wheat. The
etrly-iown grain Is up and looking fine.
There is sufficient moisture already in the
ground to assure a good crop providing we
have rain in July to finish developing the
crop. It Is now estimated that 40 per cent
of the Fall wheat In the Palouse country
Will have ,to be reseeded."
Spring Crop Prospects Better.
ALBANY, Or., May 1. (Special.) Though
Showers come almost dally in this section,
farmers say they are not impeding progress,
hut, on the contrary, may result in benefit.
The present comparatively clear weather
Is preferred, they say. to very warm weather
because, since the ground has been so wet.
too warm weather would tend to bake It.
The ground Is now drying gradually and
will be In good shape.
There has been so much rain the past
month that the farming season Is later than
usual, but rapid progress Is being made and
there la every prospect that Spring crops
may be planted In time to assure a good
yield.
Barley Takes Place of Wheat.
DAYTON. Wash., May 1. (Special.)
drain, which snouia te six Inches high In
Columbia County at this time of year, has
in many places not yet been sown on ac
count of weather conditions. Fall wheat,
which was Winter-killed, has been Impos
sible to resow, and where It failed to come
up. barley will be planted, as It will have a
better chance of maturing before frost than
wheat. No little discouragement Is being
zelt throughout ttte county, as tne only pres
ent prospects for fair crops are In a little
northerly section of the county, whose grain
Is always In danger of being burned by east
winds later in the summer.
Deschutes Alfalfa Damaged.
8ENP. Or.. May 1. (Special.) Exten
gilve damage to alfalfa fields in Deschutes
rounty Is reported by County Agriculturist
"rllanchard. Over 000 acres are already re
ported as dead and It Is feared that as the
season. develops more will be discovered. It
Is not yet' certain whether this is the result
of Winter killing or the work of an- In
sect Zuugus. in either case, the situation
Is serious and promises a bad shortage of
nay in tne coming year.

Rumors of Peace Cause Chi

EXTREME DECLINE 16 CENT
Conference Between President Wil
son and Swiss Minister Is Con
nected Wlta Report of Ger
man Chancellor's Proposals.
CHICAGO. May 1. Surmises that a con
ference between the Swiss Minister and
President Wilson this afternoon was con
nected with a report that the German Chan
cellor would make a new peace proposal on
Thursday resulted in smashing the wheat
market today. After Jm extreme decline of
ltt cents, values closed demoralized 6c
to 14c net lower, with May $2.57 and
July $2.1203.13. Corn lost 8e to 5c,
oats a to 3c and provisions 15o to 62c.
A decided downward tendency almost
from the stsrt was evident. Influenced
mainly at first by a prospect of Increasing
Imports from Canada. The outlook for
emergency legislation at Waahlnnton. au
thorlzing maximum and minimum prices on
foodstuffs, counted likewise, and so, too, did
advices telling of noticeable improvement
In the condition of the Winter crop. It was
not, however, until within an hour of the
close of trading, when buying power had
seemingly been exhausted, that the pries
breaks became of great extent.
Corn weakened with, wheat and broke rap
Idly toward the last. Better weather con
ditions as to planting formed an all-day
handicap on the bulls.
In oats, ss In other cereals, peace talk
deprived the market of support- Crop re
ports were favorable.
Provisions advanced sharply on account of
buying that wss credited to packers. De
clines in grain prices had but little effect.
Leading futures ranged as follows:
