Wo havo oxplatncd that tlio liigh prico of wheat in our Stato and Califor nia is duo to speculation and actual gambling, In Ban Francisco. Tho prico is forcod up by a system that wo confess is abovo our comprehension, for wo can not understand how mon can bo such fools as to got caught in tho toils of gamblors with thoir eyes opon. Tho faot is that all who spcculata hopo to takn advantago of somo turn of tho market. Last Friday wheat wont up "by a turn of tho wrist" to .$2.10, and hundreds who couldn't put up margins in tlmo had to pay their losses and many more badly llccccd. Tlio foolish character of tho doal is manifest whon wo know that whilo "oporalors" who were "caught short" woro sottling their gambling ventures at San Francisco on tho basis of $2.10 per cental, tho samo iualit of wheat lauded in Liverpool, freights and all charges paid, was only worth thoro ? 1.0ft per cental. This ex plains tho fact, wo, stato that wltout in California and Oregon boars a fictitious prico and on that has no basis in busi ness produce. Tho year will bo up at tho end of Juno and thou tho "deal' will bo over. Ah it is now, any farmer, or club who inn got together 100 tons of wheat can bo sure of $2.10 during this mouth. At loast that is stated in tho dispatches. In California somo eaily wheat is ripo in June and if thoy can tlucsli .uid deliver it before July 1st, thoy can get iho 2.10 per cental. Wo regret that wo cannot give our readers nHiirauca that tho wheat market promi-M-s a good llgum for tho coming crop. At tho nunut tiino it is possible that it may w hen tho world's harvests are all understood. l.n a.ta imlluu. . iYl ..!. i in Htni VIa ' UIU IIUIJPUUIIUIIUU BUIIIClt'Ilb VJ wuiuunu to tho roots of plants. Cherries aro a little behind timo and need rain to givo them size and flavor. Owing to tho of focls of frosts threo weeks ago it is doubtful if cherries amount to oven half a crop, and it would bo strnngo if straw berries and other small fruits wero not injured. Tho canncrs at East Portland havo been doing good work, but this year thoy will bo puzzled to find small fruits to work on. From every quarter wo hear that ap ples woro almost destroyed by tho frosts of tho ICtli and lGth of May. Pears also snilerou sovorcly and all irtilts aro damaged moro or Ics. Tho cold rain and heavy storms of tho first ten days of May did much less harm than wo antici pated. With us tho Washington plum was tho only - fruit that fliiflVrcd from that cold rainy weather. Wo havo 250 lino, largo and healthy trcos that shed every somblanco of fruit during that storm. All tho rest gavo promiso of an immenso yield, and it was two weeks af- tor tho frost boforo its effects wero manifest in our orchards. Coo's Golden Drop's had grown tho sizo of small beans boforo they fell, and nro almost an ntfor failuro. Slrango to say. Somo trees of tho samo variety will bo full and others besido them not over half full. Tliis is tho caso with Bartlott pears, Poach plums, Hcin ClaudcB, Columbine, though thoso variotics will cotno near making a two-thirds yield. Tho Pctito or French prunes havo twico too much fruit on; over 1000 Italians carry all thoy can do justico to. A careful sum mary of our orchards show that of 6,000 bearing trcos .'1,000 aro a good avorogo ; 1,000 aro a full half crop and 1,000 wo do not count ns really bearing anything worth whilo. Tho prunes and plums that stood tho frost with us aro, Pctitcs, Italians, Dradshaws, Hungarians, that will many of them havo to bo thinned. So will many peach plums, but thoy do not nvorago to boar full. Somo Colum bias aro too full and also somo Burtlott pears. Wo should liko to havo similar statoments of orchards in other localities. Wool commands n ready market just now and wheat bears an unusual prico, and wo trust that many of our readers will tako advantago of both and when they do it will bo highly appreciated if that will send us a remittanco to covor subscription accounts.

In all tho o.-chards alone tho old staco road lead ing from Salem to JefTerson, for twclvo miles, wo failed to find and indications of anything liko a crop of fruit. Tho fall grain without exception looked ex ceedingly well, and tho promises of tho futuro aro flattering indeed. A slight rain fell Sunday afternoon (Juno Gth), and farmers generally were well pleased, W. J. C. Spring Valloy, in Polk county, a beau tiful littlo valo that lays alongsido tho Willamette, somo six miles north of Salem, has always been noted ns an ap plo section, and a district from which was received tho choicest fruits. Mr. C. O. Walker wus in our oflico Saturday (Juno fith), and gavo us tho following facts : Ho considered stono fruits almost an ontiro failure, and Coo's golden drop plum, only a very fow; Cherries promi ses only half a crop ; pears wero appar ently full at present and especially so wero tho Bartlctle, but ho notices a blight upon tho balance, and hardly know what it might amount to. Apples botween a third and a half a crop. Fall wheat promises over an averago yield and ho considers twonty-fivo bushols nn avorogo yiold. Hut littlo spring wheat has been sown, but if timely showers will como it will turn out well. Small fruits nro all killed. IIo considers that tho ftuit crops of himself and neighbors not moro thnu uno-half a crop. There aro but few plum or pruno orchards in this section, but there aro small young orchards coining on that will bear well another year or bo. Mr. Walker csti mates that in favorablo years tho spring valloy xection produce and market 25,000 bushels of choice apples, ns in this section aro somothing liko a dozen orchards thnt produco from l,ft00 to 1,000 bushels annually. rants one-fourth of n crop. Qooosebor rics one-half of a crop. I keep a daily record of tho weather; condition of our crops; days of doing certain things, as blossoming, hoeing, gathering, etc., and this season is fully two weeks Uter than usual. Sond us rain. Mr. J. 11. Scttlomier, of Woodburn, Or., this county, writes us that on Juno 7th, crops goncrally lookod well and that cherries nro a good crop; poara good, but that plums woro onc-thitd of a crop, whilst apples wero only ono-half of a crop. Pears about two-thirds of a crop. Dr. J. Itoynolds, who has a large pruno orchard north of Salem, in a con versation with us, says that his Petito pruno and Italians were not damaged much, but that all other kinds wero an entire failure. Pears a good crop. Ho gathers, information, after talking with his neighbors, that fruit generally is rather slim, especially apples. Mr. Geo. Bcaler, of Myrtlo Creek Douglas county, was in Salem tho foro part of this wock, and informs us that Micro had boon no frost in thnt immc diato neighborhood, and that grapes wero heading out woll nnd promised a heavy yield. Peaches wero very good. Prunes excellent, and will exceed any former year. Applos were never bettor nor finer to all appearances. Grain crops woro doing wondot fully well and will oxceod any former year. Ho said that ho could not help but notice tho differ ence between their grain and that grow ing along sido tho track, as ho camo here. IIo gives us tho names of six parties who hnvo and aro planting pruno orchards that will aggrcgato eighty acres. All of which will bo in bearing soon. ' Jacksonville Times : Thcro is no danger of frosts now and fruit is safe. There will bo plonty of all kinds, though poaches and plums will bo bcarco in Homo localities. Tho young peaches in Ashlnnd aro ns largo ns pigeon eggs now, or larger; cherries nro rincnimr and strawberries aro improving tho daily tablo faro, says an Ashland paper.

RATHER HARD LINES, Thoio !h tin old pro voi li that bays "Troubles never como singly." It looks as if when ill fortuuo comes to a man it kcoiu coming in various forms and be comes oppressive. Wo thought so when a year ago all our horses died and one thing ufter another happened within tho space of a year that made up it to'al ef over two thousand dollars loss. A still more unfortunate case comes to us in tho experience of a friend who lives n fow miles Mow town and last fall he camo to ko us, driving a lino pair of liortM, A fow weeks later wo met him and ho aid one of his line span was dead, Tho other day ho said the other was also dead and his misfortunes had thickened.

Coolidge, tho veteran uiioeiy man and fruit grower of Ashland, thinks thoro Is no limit to the prolific bearing qualities of tho poach, plum, and prune trees in that valley. After having pruned his pouch trees this year till his neighbors declared ho hadn't loft a bearing twig on them, ho supposed the Southern Oregon frosts tho papers north have been talking about would proba bly bo able to keep tho fertile blooms down to within proper limits, but this week ho has had to pick and knock tho young fruit off to kcop tho trees from breaking, until tho ground beneath is literally covered with young peaches ; and ho is still afraid that ho lias left too many peaches on tho trees.

Mr. Lewis Pettyjohn, who rcstdes on tho Independence road, four miles south east of Salem, says thnt his applo crop is a dead failuro; poars tho same, but ho has n fow cherries and not any moro plums than no will nnvo uso lor, for homo consumption. Mr. Thomas Duckman, of New Era, Clackamas county, sont tho following, under dato of Juno Gth : In accordauco with tho wish oxprossod, I sond n report of crop prospects. Fall wheat looks well and promNos a good crop. Karly sown spring grain looks woll, but tho late sown grain needs rain, and unless thcro is rain soon it will not amount to much. Tho fruit is tho worst failuro 1 havo ever seen. ' Thoro will bo moro cherries and plums thnu any othor varieties of fruit. Apples and pears nro very few, they wero injured by cold rains whilo in bloom. Grass will lion fair crop. Clover is generally good. It. W. Sayers, in tho north end of tho county, noar Hrooks Station, says that ho will havo a fair crop of apples this season, but not to largo n crop as usuul. Other fruit is generally very good. .Mr. L F. Thompson, I'mpqua, Or., (Coles Valloy), under dato of Juno (Ith says Fall wheat looks well and will bo a good crop ; somo may lodgo on bot tom laud where it was pastured. Spiing wheat looks well, and with a few good showers through this month will do as well and may lie better than that Fall sown oats aro an average, and on hill land aro over nn average. Grass is good ; better than has been known for years. Fruit only tolerable; apples not moro than a half crop, and iu some or chards not that. Pears almost a failure, plums the samo, and prunes not much better with some chorrios, though not so many as common. I am intending to set out some moro fruit trees this fall. Mr. S. K.
