TJnusual condition prevail In the burlap
market, and the Indications are that the
shortage of supplies In this country will
be even greater than was feared. Cables
received by Importers doing; business with
Calcutta disclosed a most abnormal condi
tion, arising- out of the war. affecting Jute,
imoif other products there. This Is due
to the scarcity of ships that has been
brought about by the submarine war and the
great needs of the allies for transporta
tion space for war purposes which have In
creased steadily during the past three
months.
The circumstances surrounding the lack of
facilities for exchange between London and
Calcutta were not fully disclosed, but t was
Intimated that they may have been the out
growth of the system of hoarding silver and
gold In India and a determination on the
part of allied financial powers to establish
some new basis whereby Calcutta would as
sist more In financing her own trade.
As a consequence of the conditions In In
dia, there has been feverish buying of bur
laps and Jute products In all the domestic
markets. Some burlap houses withdrew
their offerings and became buyers In order
to make provision for their own customers"
needs. Prices have mounted In the past
month steadily and are quoted
In some
Instances higher than at any

The situation has been Intensified by the
fact that Calcutta shipped only 27.000.000
yards of burlaps to this country In April,
while the average monthly shipments be
for the war. were 60.000,000 yards. From. all
that now appears, merchants anticipate
greater shortage In burlaps In this country
than has been seen at any
years.
time In recent
Eastern dealers who own goods en route
from Calcutta by way of the Paclflo Coast
have been In the market for supplies to
cover them until the shipments are deliv
ered. Even In the cue of West Coast ar-
rivals the transcontinental traffic Is so con
gested and slow that no Immediate relief
seems probable.
GOOD PROSPECTS IX JUDITH BASES
Plowing and Spring Wheat Seeding Is
Completed.
Reportlng on crop conditions In Fergus
County. Montana, P. S. Treloar, travelln
freight agent of the Spokane, Portland &
Seattle Railway Company, says:
"In the eastern part of the county, which
is the newest settled, there will be about
83 1-3 per cent Increase In acreage In wheat.
and 10O per cent Increase In corn. In the
western part of the county there will be an
Increase of about 30 per cent In acreage in
wheat. About 40 per cent of tha Winter
wheat was killed, as the Winter was very
severe. This has all been reseeded In Spring
wheat, so the Increase in Spring wheat will
be considerable. Ordinarily about 75 per
cent of the wheat In this section Is Winter
wheat. There is very little Summer fallow
this year, practically all the ground being
put In again this year. This land will not
yield as heavily as It would If It had been
Summer fallowed the year before. The
crops as a whole will be about 75 per cent
normal. Practically all plowing and seed
ing Is finished. The conditions In Fergus
County will hold true of the crop condi
tions In all of the Judith Basin. It Is not
. thought any damage to the grain will re
sult from the recent snow."

Kennewick Berry Crop Moving.
KENNEWICK, Wash.. June 4. (Special.)
The Kennewick strawberry, which each
year leads to market the great fresh fruit
crop of the Northwest, is being success
fully, marketed this year In spite of war
conditions. Early rumors of labor and car
shortages have not materialized and the
berries are moving out to the markets of
the Northwest at the rate of 'several thou
sand crates daily.
Following an annual custom, growers
and business men of this community have
named Wednesday. June 0, as Kennewick
Strawberry day. Fruit Jobbers, dealers, ho
tels, restaurants and railway dining- cars
have pledged their co-operation and it I
expected that the Kennewick slrawberry will
on that day be featured on menus.
Large Cherry Crop Expected.
COVE, Or., June 4. (Special.) At the
secend mass meeting the vote was for hold
ing Cherry Fair day at or near the close
Instead of at the beginning of the cherry
season, as last year much of1 the fruit
was underripe. With $400 cash. Exposi
tion Hall and picnic grounds in fine con
ditton, and a large prospective crop to be
gin with, the preparedness shows that tbe
promise for the best of all Cherry Fair days
can be fulfilled easily. As to the dropping
of cherry blooms complained of by c. D.
Huffman. Cove orchardists say if one In
every 100 blooms fruits. jove win produce
the largest crop ever harvested here.

TRADING IS RESTRICTED
r SI
Harvest In' Southwest Is Ten Jays
Late Delay Offset by Improve

rial Gain in Yield.
CHICAGO. June- 4. Wliest advanced
sharply today, owing In the main to ths
fact that hedging- sales of the new crop hare
been scarce. The market closed firm. 4c to
8o net higher, with July at $2.11 and Ben-
leraoer at si.oa. corn finished lhic off to
like advance and oats down He to 74 c
Absence of hedging- was secounted for by
reports that the ripening- of the new crop
in jhe Southwest seemed to be fully 10
days late. Ths delay to harvesting, how
ever, was said to be offset by an improve
ment of quality and by a material enlarge
ment of yield. Trading as a whole proved
too restricted In volume to allow of much
Importance being- generally attached to the
flighty changes In quotations
Corn shorts found themselves badly
squeezed at one time today. Favorable
weather had led to free speculative selling,
and when attempts were made to even up
for the holiday the market bulged about 3
cents abovs Saturday's finish, showing a
gain in some cases of as much as 15 cents
within a week.
Sentiment ss to oats was very bearish
as a result of favorable crop reports. Some
export business was said to have been done
at the seaboard.
Larger receipts of hogs than expected
weakened the provision market. Foreign ad
vices were not encouraging to holders and
exports for the week were materially under
