mandNo Change Here.
Butter market Is weaker again.
After a very strong spell, trading
has practically stopped as far as north
ern demand is concerned: Puget' Sound
prices have dropped and this foretells a
Blackening of the Alaskan demand.
California prices' are also weaker and

no change today but if the weakness in

Windy City Today After a
Short Spell of Strength
Others Are Affected too.
Chicago,. May 28. Even before the
wheat trade today . contained several
surprises, to ' begin with the - market
opened with an advance caused by fill
ing some buying orders acquired over
night The bouse which sold out the
enormous line of wheat Thursday led
tne Duying of" July and September at
the high point, July 96c and September
93c. The market then turned weak
and continued-so until the close, being
unaer pressure constanuy. it was a
xoregone conclusion . that May wheat
would come down to a respectable level
before -ine end of the. month; but such
a tumble In the price was hardly ex-
ueciea. iNODOa V cared to atn In a
good buyer of the new months at any
wme auring me session and prices went
from bad to worse, until Julv was off
to 93o and September Oltfc. The rally
at the close was alights - . .'.' H ! k
weaKness at Winnipeg, because t of
rains and promising weather- outlook,
weakness at Minneapolis on hedging
sales aealnst larsrer Mimirn rrln
of wheat and the generally bearish feel-
in- wnicn pervaaea tne entire araln
trade, encouraged selllnar onratinna nH
forced the . break in the new - rmn
months. For the present all adverse
reports from the spring wheat country
are again in order. It has the appear
ance of a generally oversold market st
tne finish. .
" JTlmps th mo8t ui"Prlsl"s" weakness
wmcn aevetopea in , tne entire gram
trade for the day was in the corn mar
ket. Estimate for this market is great
ly enlarged to 386 cars. Weather- has
A,11"! cool rnost of the month,
but indications are for showers and ris
ing temperatures. - ,
In oats, as In th other markets, the
May price suffered the most. The cash
market was about lo lower,
, Hogs at all western points were about
50 per cent. less than last year. The
strong hog situation caused higher
prices for all products the first hour.
Later there was a reaction. If the run
of June hogs proves disappointing with
light stocks, it may . prove , a strong
situation.' The weakness in corn and
slack consumptive demand are the bear
ish features.,

While In some sections the hop crop
does not look favorable, general condi

and In Washington.
"We are going to turn' out our great
est crop this year," says Conrad Krebs,
Kenerallv known as the hon klnar of Ore
gon. "Our 400 aere Independence yard
never showed better prospects than at
mis time.
"We are sending out 160 men for cul
tivating and tying purposes. ' and will
take every means to produce the best
quality. t-
Up in the 6llverton and Woodburn
districts, conditions are mixed.-. "Some
yards are very good," says Julius Wolf,
a hop factor of Sllverton. "The yards
that were poor a year ago are generally
snowing me same conaition ; at
time." ..--.,:
In the Aurora district practically the
same conditions exist. - The newer yards
show their best growth, while the older
nlaces have many missing Mils. -
Washington state will likely produce
practically tne same crop or nops as a
vear a aro ' acoordlnar to . reDorts which
come from Hhere.. The acreage Is the
same and cultivation is always forced in
western Washington.- In the Yakima
district there is a possibility of a heav
ier production than a year ago, owing
to , the generally better cultivation, .
