Our market!) are unsottlod, with no i;raia to tdiip, and no interest, immedi ate, iu tho foreign markot. Our mills generally have in store all tho wheat they need for local trade, and prices hold up fairly, i-alem mills pay 80 ots. n bushel. A prominent dealer in wool of Port laud, being ivskcd what tho prodpeoU are for fair prices for tho now clip, informed tho Oregonian that choico Eastern Ore gon wools are worth only IU to 21 cents at tho Kust, Average grades are wiling now iu Norton and Eastern centers at about IS cents, which gives nmnufnotur era their Mock at about 62 to fit conta per pound, i evolved. Inferior gradei are a drug iu tho markot. Some Bitten liavo Uvn ulliTted during tho past ten duya at 16 to 17 cents por pouud at Hoatou. Assuming that freight rates since tho ausponuion of section 1, of tho Inter State Coiumorco bill are to bo about 1 cents' per pouud, with othor charge added, such as commission, grading, in surance, hauling, etc., wool must tiocc sarily bo low. Iu San Frnuoifco wools nro accumulated and no saloa of any im portance huve been ellooted. Savoral lots of Eastern Oregon wool nro now held in that city. So far only a few lots for Portland morchnnts havo boon dis p ;sod of, and 1G cents por pound as pre viously reported is the highest price ob tained.

Chicago dispatch of April 21, saya: "Tho weekly crop roport of tho Fitment Heviow Ih as follow : Kaina havo ma terially improved crop conditions in Kansas, Missouri, Kentucky, Illinois nnd Indiana, nnd particularly has it improved tho outlook for winter wheat, whilo iu Ioivn, Nebraska, Miunoiota, mid DakoU, seeding of spring wheat has proceeded under gcnorally favorable conditions. However, winter wheat ox eept iu Missouri, ia falling gcnorally be low that of last year. Vory fow coun ties of Ohio rojHirt tho prospect of an average crop. In Indiana tho percen tages of condition rungo higher und gen erally run from 85 per cent, to 90 per cent, of an averago. In Wisconsin tho average of countiee rciorting this week rangea from 75 to 90 por cent. Thero havo boon lino rains throughout nearly all of Kansas, relieving the serious drouth and improving the outlook for wiuter wheat. The averago of tho con dition falls somewhat below that of last year. KeporU from Iowa and Minne sota iudicato full average acroago sown to spring whoat, and an increase of acreage iu Nebraska and Dakota." Tastes and fashions in fruit difl'er, and even if they did not, no man who sets out a young orchard is supposed to know everything about tho varieties ho has planted. Hy the timo they como into bearing, or ovon boforo, he may learn that tho varieties moat numerous ly planted may bo worthless oithor from unproductiveness or tho indifferent qual ity of tho fruit. Tho evil is not irreiura bio, and tho sooner tho remedy is ap plied tho hotter will bo tho result. Wo once know an orchard in which nearly all tho treea wore origioually eet with tha Nortnern bpy apple, i licse were so slow in comber into boaring that tho ownor top-grafted half of them with lialdwius wueu ultoou years old. In livo years uioso topgraitott nail borne ouougu to pay all tuo extra cost, anil lor the ground they stood ou, while the original Northom Spy grafts on tho ro- uuiuuuir uaii iwarvejy uorue au uppie. Hut tho top-grafting au old tree the Northom Spy is ono of tho best and moat speedily produotivo varioties that can bo set. Wall Walla Union: ft ride over eighteen miles of our valley showed tho fall wheat to vo about a toot high and vory thrifty. During tho drivo wo counted sorenty odd plows, seeders and u&rrowd at work. It looks as it farmers intended putting' every aero in wheat thLi year. Horses are in good order in Crook county, for tho season, having como through with vory little loss and quito freo from disoaBO. Tho hoaviest loss was 5000 out of 7000 owned by Geo. H. Thurston, iu the Silver Lako region. They had no feed provided and no good rango to feed on. D. Porter left tho Coourd'Alono mines over a month ngo. Tho fourth day ho shot an elk and that night was snowod in. He mado a cavo in tho snow, used n hatchet to chop wood, ato elk meat for four weeks and then got outeafo and nlive. Tho elk meat pulled him through.
