Stock at Boston are fairly larr for this
time of year, according to the commercial
Bulletin, and the manufacturers show little
or bo Inclination to buy. Just what they
could buy at la a question. For food do
mestic combing the last sale reported at

very choice stock which would bring 60
cents on the market at the present time.

Cape indicate little or no change there
In the past week or two.

tion Argentina Is apparently In position
to satisfy all European requirements for

been advancing. Little birvins ss yet is re
ported in U:e fleece wool sections.
The msrket Is stilt strong on the finer
clashes of goods, with very little being done
in those good requiring medium and low

which has to be moved at practically any
price obtainable. Centralized cars were few
In number and were not sold readily, as
b uvers were not inclined to meet the ask
ing prices. Receipts fell off considerably
today over previous figures for the week,
only 2251 tubs being reported.
New York. A very firm feeling pre
vailed in the 'market today. A number of
sales were reported at prices somewhat
higher than quoted. Many dealers had no
difficulty selling 90 and Ul-point goods at
the price of ..-score. The supply today
was very light and considerable more busi
ness would have been transacted if the
butter were available, some California 91-92-score
in boxes selling freely at 63 9
64c. There are but few cars of centralized
available and for the 89-PO-point cars, 63

totaled 12,7l) tubs. The cold storage hold
in it; were increased the past two days about

fthipments of government butter going Into
storage. There was very little change in
the reported street stocks this morning.
Fan Francisco. Some trading took place
today, both in carlots and in a small way.
I,tttle change in the situation Is noticed,
with asking prices about the same as yes
terday, a somewhat uncertain and un
settled feeling ex lets and many dealers who
are looking for stocks of butter do not ap
pear to be anxious to pay more than quo
tations. Receipts were extraordinarily large
today, making up partly for much lighter
deliveries earlier In the week. Storage
holdings were Increased by 4 SIX) pounds
this morning. 98-score, 153
DISTRIBUTIVE TRADE EXPANDING
Price SitiAtion Is Stronger In Important
Lines.
NEW YORK, April 25. 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.
Is strong and active and reports as to un
employment, except at debarkation and
large industrial centers, are more cheerful.

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.

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.

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.
