St TOE MORXIXG OltEGOXIAX, TnuliSDAY, MAT 10, 1921 SPRING WHEAT CROP NEARLY ILL SOI Early Planted Grain Is Mak ing Good Growth. WINTER WHEAT THRIVING Conditions More Favorable Xow for Orchard and Smalt Fruits. Hop Cultivation Begins. Grain crop prespecta in Oregon re on the whole very food, according to the weekly crop and weather report of the local weather bureau. At the beginning of the past week the weather waa moderately cool, with scattered ahowera, and aome frost. About the middle of the week the weather became fair and warm, the tem perature rising higher than at any prev ious time this season. As the week closed cool, cloudy, showery weather again pre vailed. Farm work made satisfactory advance, but la atlll backward in many places. Vegetation made good growth. but is still behind the average season over considerable areas. Winter wheat is showing poor color In few western localities, but is generally good, and Is particularly good in the prin cipal wheat -growing counties. Some dam age la being done by aphis In Douglas county. Seeding of spring wheat Is Hear ing completion. Early-sown spring wheat and oata are making good growth, and have been benefited by rain. Winter oats re heading in Jackson county; rye is beading In Douglas county, and is nearly ready to head in Umatilla, county, nam ing of corn is becoming general. Conditions have been favorable for frul: during the week, but owing to unfavorable Weather earlier there la a heavy drop ot pears, cherries snd prunes. Apples are setting well. Strawberries are becoming more plentiful In Douglas county and a few have been marketed in Umatilla connty. Aphlds are causing some Injury to spples and prunes. Alfalfa and clover showed quick re sponse to the Increased warmth; some al falfa has been cut in Jaekson and Jose phine counties. Range feed is drying up In some localities, but Is generally abund ant, and has been freshened by recent rains. Shearing ot sheep is nearing completion In western Counties and la, well sdvanced elsewhere. All stock Is doing well. Planting of potatoes continues; early po tatoea are budding in Jackson county. Some local damage waa done by frost. Gardens are Improving, but still somewtfv backward. Hops, are being cultivated and are doing well. J11.no 31.00 14.00 B2.00 37.UO INCREASED BUTTER MAKE GENERAL . Eggs Show Effect of Warmer Tempera tures Throughout Country. The volume of cream delivered to cream ries Is larger than last week and is con aiderably heavier than a year ago. says the weekly produce review of Swift & Co. of Chicago. Prices are generally unchanged for butter and butterfat. Bggs are showing the effect of warme temperatures and there haa been a lower tendency In the market the last few daya Announcement of the warehouse figures ahowing stocks In storage on May 1 of 4.802.000 cases, as compared with 2,135,000 cases last year, showing an excess of 2.AS7.000 cases, haa had a little unsettling Influence. April and May egg are of the highest quality and a goodly portion- a." placed In. storage. As summer weather is approached eggs have not the satisfactory quality which they ahoweed In the cooler spring months, and the demand for stor age is therefore limited. It is of th ut most Importance that eggs be gathered daily, kept In a cool place and marketed frequently. Tbp poultry supply Is normal fot this season of the ysar and prices show little change throughout t. country. A few broilers are beginning to show up on the various markets, but due to the generally lower value of other foods and the large stock left in storage last year, prices ar? considerably under a year ago. It la not expected the demand for snall broilers will be very active for some months. VO CHANGE MADE IN WHEAT BIDS Business Is Slow at All Points Coarse Grains Higher. There was not much business doing yesterday In the wheat market here or in the country. Bids were unchanged from Tuesday. The coarse grain market was steady to firm and generally quiet. Offers for oats were fiOcOfl higher and May brewing barley was up SO centa Corn bids ranged from 60 centa lower to 50 centa higher. John lnglis reported on Kanaaa crop conditions: "Okley to Wilson, crop un certain, promises 10 bushels. Through Russell, Ellis, Trego to Oakley. 70 per cent may be cut If weather is favorable.. Doubtful If balance will pay for cutting. Borne streaks of fair wheat; occasional fields may run 11 to 20 bushels Blowing and frost damaged the crop." Crop- conditions in Missouri and Ne braska are also unfavorable. Terminal receipts, in ears, were re ported by the Merchants Exchange as follows: Wheat Bar. Fir.

Stock trading to day presented two divergent aspects. Rails were active and strong at gross advances of 1 to 3 points, while numerous industrials and specialties irregularly extended recent losses. The movement In transportations had Its inception in the announcement that the United States railway labor board had de cided on a downward revision of wages, Junior or secondary issues benefited almost as much as the more seasoned or dividend- paying shares. Heavineas of Industrials was due mainly to doubt respecting the action of the Republic Iron & Steel directors on the quarterly dividend. Announcement of the absolute omission came after the end of the session, but Republic closed unchanged, Similar Incidents included the passing of the Pacific Mail semi-annual dividend nd a 50 per cent cut in the quarterly dividend of Cuban-American Sugar. Oils, especially Mexicans, were heavily traded in, but Mexican Petroleum finished at a nominal gain. Sales were 675,000 shares. ' The money market followed Us undevlat lng course of the last few days, all call loans being made at 7 per cent, although that figure waa shaded In the open market. Leading foreign exchanges were strong, but Dutch. Italian, Spanish and German remittances eased. There were few features to the bond market, trading falling off somewhat from yesterday. Changes in domestic and for eign issues, including the liberty group, were mostly toward moderately lower lev els. Total sales, par value, $9,875,000. CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS.

A large acreage of wheat and corn has been planted and all new acreage under the Gold Hill irrigation "district canal is being sown to alfalfa. A heavy crop of local strawberries are crowding the California berries out of the market and commanding a higher price. : Highway 14 nlc Paved. ABERDEEN, Wash., May 18. (Spe cial.)

The reports today from Kan sas and Nebraska were very unfavorable. The cash demand was good at high prices and country offerings to arrive reported as moderate.
