CROPS
RETARDED
BY COLD WEATHER
Growth Is Backward in
Parts of State.
All
FRUIT BLOOM COMES SLOW
Fall-Sown Grains Are Generally In
Good . Condition, but x Warmer
Weather Needed In Places.
Crops of all kinds In Oreeon are back
ward, but no Injury Is reported as a result
of the cold, wet weather. The weekly
crop summary of the weather bureau (ays:
The weather was rather cold, with fre
quent precipitation over most of the state.
Some snow fell, but except In the more
eHevated districts It melted as it fell. Some
local hail storms occurred, doing: Httle
damage. Light to heavy frost occurred
Sunday morning, but during the day the
weather was mild and pleasant. Rain set
In again -'Monday morning in the north
western counties. In the Willamette valley
and coast counties, and in localitfes in
other parts ' of the state farm work has
been seriously retarded by wet weather.
Scarcity of labor has also caused some
delay.
Conditions have been generally favorajjle
for winter wheat and oats and early sown
spring wheat, but warmer weather Is
needed in places. Spring seeding Is pro
ceeding very slowly.
In the milder sections grass is growing
well, and alfalfa and clover are making a
fair start. In tho colder parts of the
state growth is slow. Cold, cloudy weather
la causing some loss of atfalfa -from mil
dew. Sheep and cattle are being turned
on the range in most sections. Conditions
have been unfavorable for Iambs, but no
' serious" losses have been reported.
Fruit bloom advanced slowly. Prunes are
. In full bloom In Douglas county and are
partially In bloom elsewhere. Early pears
are almost In full bloom in Jackson coun
ty. Very few apple blossoms are showing
except in Douglas county. The cold, wet
weather -has been unfavorable -for pollens
tioru " Fruit buds' appear to be recovering
somewhat from the effects of the extreme
ly low temperature In December, but the
yield of berries, cherries, peaches and
apricots, will be materially reduced, and
the yield of' pears' somewhat affected. The
frost of Sunday morning probably caused
some Injury to -fruit', bloom, but full' .In
formation is not yet available.
-Karly garden vegetables are growing
slowly; planting of later vegetables has
been retarded by wet soil; a small acreage
has been planted to early potatoes, and
more will be planted as, soon as the soil
Is sufficiently dry. Early potatoes' are
coming up In a few localities. ' '' '
GOOD WHEAT TRICKS ARE INDICATED
Prospects Bright for Big Tear for Grain
. farmers,
A survey of the wheat crop situation
throughout the country has been made by
the Spring Wheat Improvement 'associa
tion, which finds that there Is seed wheat
enough for all requirements, but In many
localities farmers say they will not plant
full acreage because they are afraid of
the price. Never before were the world's
conditions so favorable for a good price,
according to the association, which says
in its report:
"The world's visible supply of wheat Is
about 200.000,000 bushels less than a year
ago. .The acreage sows to winter wheat
in the United States la less by 12,000,000
or 13.000.000 acres than last year. . The
government forecasts that the winter
wheat crop will be only 483,000.000 bushels
as against 731.000,000 bushels last year.
The visible supply of wheat in the
United States is 63,000,000 less than last
year. Elevator stocks In MlnneaDolla mil
Duluth, Including Durum, are- only about
6,000,000 bushels compared with 48,000,000
ouoneis a year ago. This is scarcely
enough to keep the mills running for more
than a week or two'.-
"There will undoubtedly be a strong de
mand both at home and abroad for all of
the spring wheat we can possibly grow.
Farmers who state that they will not put
In wheat because the guaranty has been
removed should consider these facts. This
ought to be a big wheat year at a big
profit for the northwest.". , . '

CROrS IN WESTERN EUROPE GOOD
Harvesftng On in India With Satisfactory
Results.
Wheat crop conditions abroad are cabled
by Broomhall as follows:
United Kingdom It Is officially staged
that the condition of winter wheat is very
favorable. However, It is also claimed
that the acreage to spring cereals win be
short this year. Unofficial advices are to
the effect that rains are hindering sow
ings In many sections.
France Rains in this country have
caused local damage to grains, otherwise
the good prospects for the crops generally
-are nmintained.
Germany Sowing of the new grains has
made fairly good progress under satisfac
tory weather conditions.
India Latest estimates show a further
Increased acreage to jvheat in the Punjab
province and the latest reports are to the
' effect that harvesting of wheat continues
to progress satisfactorily. The out-turn
this year will no doubt show a good Im
provement. Australia Seeding conditions in general
. have been fair, but New South Wales does
not expect any Increase in the acreage to
wheat In that section.
North Africa Recent rains were very
beneficial to crops and prospects are good
as compared with a short time Back.
Car of. Strawberries Friday.
Receipts of Sacramento and Florida
strawberries were small, but they were or
sufficient size, considering the cold
weather. Sales were made at $6 a crate.
A car of Los Angeles berries will arrive
Friday and ' they will be put on sale at
13.75. .

ply and quoted at 13 a dox.en California
asparagus was offered at 12 17 cents a
pound. Potato trade continued alow and
prices were unchanged.
EGG 9 ARE HALF CENT HIGHER

crease in receipts lately has been noted
while outside orders continue to come In.

STOCK SELLING HEAVY!
LOSSES OF 5 TO ALMOST 4 5
POIXTS RECORDED.
Speculative Issues Are Greatest
Sufferers Severe Reaction Also
Occurs in Liberty Bonds.
NEW YORK, April 21. Quoted values
crumbled In today's feverishly active stock
market, the list closing In absolute de
moralization, many leaders showing ex
treme losses of 5 to almost .45 points.
Apart from the increasing scarcity of
time funds, there were no developments
In the money market to explain the de
cline, which far exceeded in volume and
scope any slmila movement since the
early weeks of the year.
Shares which recently derived their chief
support from professional sources sus
tained greatest depreciation. There were
rumors that the banks were again cur
tailing loans composed of speculative col
lateral. No confirmation- of these re
ports was obtainable, but It was evident
that further contraction of credits was
in progress. -
A factor of more than sentimental im
portance in the day's setback was The fur
ther severe reaction of liberty bonds to
lowest prices yet recorded on very heavy,
offerings. Some of these prime war flo
tations fell to levels where tbey repre
sented an Interest- return .of almost 7
per cent.
Selling of liberty bonds proceeded from
various sources, but was popularly at
tributed to large corporate Interests which
probably found it more expedient to
liquidate their holdings than engage in
new and costly financing.
Sales amounted to 2.OO0.0OO shares, over
one-third of the total business occurring
in the final hour, the ticker being some 20
minutes behind in recording the day's
business.
Bonds, Including standard rails and.ln
dustrials, followed the course of govern
ment issues, losing 1 to 2 per cent. Total
sales, par value, aggregated J20.250.000.
Old United States 2s lost a half point
and Panama 3s' 5 points on call, others
being unchanged.

GRAIN PRICES COLLAPSE
HEAVY SELLING CARRIES ALL
' CEREALS DOWNWARD.
Corn Losses Range tp to 8 V? Cents.
Provisions Are Also Caught
in Break.
. i
CHICAGO. April 21. Grain and provi
visions collapsed suddenly In value today'
under an avalanche of selling. The strained
financial situation as reflected by -the
Japanese banking flurry and by severe
declines in the New York stock market
proved too heavy a burden for corn and
allied commodities. The close here in
every pit was semi-demoralized, with corn
4c to 8o net low. May at $1.66 to
11.68 and July 11.68 to $1.58. Oats fin
ished 4o to 6c down. In provisions the
losses for the day ranged from 25c to 11.30.
Weakness was apparent In the corn mar
ket as soon as trading began. Confidence
of- holders was visibly unsettled by the
prospect of Industrial 'shutdowns, threat
ened by continued halting of railway traf
fic. Under such circumstances a jolt like
the break of prices in Wall street was
more than the market here could with
stand. Buying power seemed to flatten
out completely, and during the last 15
minutes whirlwind selling took place with
last prices at nearly the bottom point
reached.
Oats tumbled with corn. Longa un
loaded heavily.
Notwitstandinc higher. Quotations- on
hogs, provisions were ,. depressed by the
tan or grain.
The Chicago market letter received yes
terday by Overbeck & Cooke company af
Portland said:
Corn The market today received quite
a setback, due to general improvement In
weather conditions. This caused an easier
opening for all options. The market held
rather steady the first 'hour, but general
selling made its appearance through com
mission houses and the market gave an
appearance of an over-bought condition.
This caused uneasiness among the long In
terest and started another wave of selling
orders which carried prices dowti from 4
to 7 cents with all options closing at or
near the 'bottom iprlces for the day. An
undercurrent of uneasiness was noted yes-
terday regarding purchases on the part of
the public at pnssent. For some time the
belief has been growing that world condi
tions are nearly as bad as has been
claimed. The country has been long on
futures' as well as the cash, and has taken
the corn and oats markets away from
speculators.
Oats The oats market acted to a great
extent In sympathy with the action of corn.
all options showing loss for tne aay
trading, closing around the low figures for
the day. Strong efforts to move grains
from interior elevatora to terminal mar
kets are expected to be made in the -near
future, as It is reported that many ejarm
ers who have been holding for higher
prices have been rewarded for their ef
forts are now more willing to sell.
