Bradstreef s to morrow wilt say: Improvement and expansion are- the key word as to ordinary distributive trade, both at wholesale and retail. More of the im portant industries send cheerful reports, but as heretofore the big basic industries. Iron and steel and coal, while displaying a shade more life In Isolated Instances, are running at slow speed compared with the feverish activity of last year and price unsettleraent or .uncertainty still constitutes the apparent chief brake upon all operations. Winter wheat crop prospects are stfll highly flattering and clearing weather Is permitting more activity in western grain fields and southern cotton and corn areas. The price situation Is stronger certainly as regards foods, textiles and foot cover ings. The stock market, despite realising.

BE LUTE SEASOX IS BACKWARD ' IX NORTHWESTERN" STATES. Wlnter Wheat Made Good Growth in Past Week Land Prepared for Corn. Crop conditions continue good la the Pa cific coast states. The weekly weather and crop bulletin for the . district says: In the northern states and generally throughout the northern half of California the weather caused a good growth of win ter wheat and it was favorable for the ad vancement of barley, oats and spring wheat. A large amount of land Is being prepared for corn and that planted earlier is germi narlnr nlr.lv. Oat seedlnc in Washington is being delayed because the soli is too wet for planting. On account of the backward ness of the season a large acreage of grain in Washington and Oregon will be harvested later than usual. Much wheat and barley on the west side of the San Joaquin valley will not mature and it will be cut for hay. Few potatoes have yet been planted In the northern states, but this work is well advanced In the south, and in norehern Arizona a large acreage is being prepared for them. Irrigated truck crops made ex cellent advancement during the week. Clover in the Twin Falls district in Idaho was winter killed worse than at first ap parent and much of the land has been plowed up. The first crop of alfalfa in Arizona and California is being gathered under favorable conditions for curing. The seeding of alfalfa continues in Nevada. The warm days caused a good growth of .grass on the ranges and on the whole the weather was favorable for lambing and shearing, except in northern Arizona, where it was too cool for young lambs. A gen eral movement of livestock to their sum mer pastures is taking place and stock are gaining in flesh. Deciduous fruit is now fn full bloom in most of the late districts. Some peaches in the upland valleys In Arizona have been in jured and some early fruit In Washington has suffered damage by frost, but the in Jury so far has not been serious. Strawber ries are ripe and fairly plentiful in Cali fornia. Citrus fruit made satisfactory ad vancement and the orange trees are bloom ing heavily. Miscellaneous Crops. The earlier planted sugar beets are being thinned and the crops look good. Beets are coming up to a good stand in Utah.

PRUNES IN GREAT DEMAND Price Jfow Highest Ever Offered. Crop Prospect Favorable. EUGENE, Or., April 26. (Special.) Never before has the demand for dried prunes been so great as now, or the price so higrh; seldom has the prospect for a crop in the Willamette valley been so bright, according: to Eugene buyers of the fruit. "The demand for prunes so far has been solely for export trade," said W. P. Pell, manager of the Mason, Ehrman & Co's branch house in this city, Thurs day. "Domestic buyers are not taking hold of the product at the prices offered for export. The price now of fered for prunes is a cent and an eighth higher than the highest price paid last year." Mr. Fell added that unless something unforeseen happens there will be a large crop in the Willamette valley this year. J. O. Holt, manager of the Eugene Fruit Growers association, which dries many tons of prunes each year, declared the outlook for the grower exceedingly bright. He too reported the bulk, of the buying for the export trade. CANNERY MERGER TALKED Pnyallup Presiucui Presents Plan to Iiewls County Citizens. CHEHALIS. Wash.. April 25. (Sps- cial.)

BE A COUPOX-CLIPPER EXTREME ADVANCE OF 6 CENTS IN CHICAGO MARKET. Bulge Follows Announcement That Enrope W ill Be Put on War Bread Basis. CHICAGO. April 27 Wild advances In the corn market, reaching an extreme of ec a bushel, followed announcement from Paris today that the supreme food council, of which Herbert C. Hoover is the chief, had decided to put Europe on a "war-bread" basis for. the next three months. The close was excited. 2 fr5c- net higher, with July $1.68 1.C8 and September $1.04 ig;1.64. At first corn showed weakness as a re sult of gossip that imports of wheat from Canada to the United States were likely to be permitted. Then a sharp rally took place in consequence of reports of bubonic plague at Buenos Aires. Inferences were drawn that grain shipments from Argen tina would be seriously interfered with. Active profit-taking sales by holders led subsequently to fresh downturns. Shortly after noon, however, waves of buying swept over the market and no attention was given to any other factor than tho news from I'aris about "war bread." For the remainder of the day sentiment was radically bullish on the theory that huge quantities of other grain will be substituted for wheat. Oats went skyward with corn. Increased foreign demand hoisted pro visions independently to new tiptop prices. Lard in particular made a swift ascent, 11.10 per hundred pounds. Leading futures ranged as follows: CORN. Open.

EMPIRE WILL GET COLOSEL ZIXN INSPECTS COOS BAR DKEDGIXG OPERATIONS. Attitude of Engineers Believed to Aid Move to Get Appropria tion From Congress. NORTH BEND, Or., April 25. (Spe cial.) Plans fur the early construction of a 200-foot wharf and an oil station to cost between 40,000 and o0,000 lor use bv the government bar dredge Michie, on property purchased by the federal government at Empire, three miles west of this city, were announced bv James S. Polhemus of the United States engineer's office of I'ortland. Mr. Polhemus, in company with Colo nel Zinn of the United States engineer ing force, has been in this district sev eral days inspecting the dredging op erations on the Coos bay bar and ex amining the harbor work at Bandon and channel conditions of the Coquille river between Coquille City and Myrtle Point. From a recent survey it is learned that the Coos bay bar has shoaled from a depth of 30 feet at low water to less than 18 feet, or more than 12 feet dur ing the winter months, and the removal of this great accumulation of sand will require the constant operation of the dredge Michie until late in the fall. . The shoaling of the channel on the bar to such an extent during the rough weather, when the operation of the dredge is impossible, is regarded by Mr. Polhemus and other engineers as a clear and conclusive demonstration that a satisfactory depth of water cannot be maintained by dredging operations without the aid of a north and south jetty to prevent the sand from being deposited by the winter storms. It is believed that the favorable at- tltude of the government engineers to ward the construction of jetties will materially aid in securing an early appropriation from congress.
