Every person interested in wheat in
California must of necessity have a
keen interest in the ruling prices in
foreign markets, where the greatest
demand for wheat exists. The En-
glish fashion is to quote at so much per
quarter. A "quarter" means eight
bushels or 4S0 pounds. The perplexity
arising to farmers in this county from
quotations made in the above manner
is thus explained away by cotempo-
rary: "The present quotations, as
given in the English price current
lists of SO shillings per quarter, are
equivalent to So Is per GENITAL. Sew
enty shillings per quarter would be
equal to $4 per Genital, the shilling be-
ing equivalent to "a cents.

CROP REPORT.

The monthly report for April, Of the de-
partment of agriculture, represents the crop
of winter wheat throughout the country as
"more generally promising than at this period
for several years past"
Reports from thirty counties in Wisconsin
say that in majority Of instances the winter
wheat is badly damaged and not over half
crop will be realized. The season has been
backward, but seeding generally will be com
pieted in few days. The ground is now be-
ing prepared for corn. In some places barley
is greatly injured and reseeding will be neces-
sary. If warm weather continues with rain
the spring wheat prospect will be encourag-
ing.
In an article upon the crop prospects of the
western farmers, the st. Louis Republican
says it does not "recall spring in period of
a dozen years that gave a more cheerful prom
Use of abundance than the present" 1t is too
early to make any predictions about the uu-
planted corn crop, but of the fruit, the grow
ing wheat, and the condition of the meadows
conjectures can be made. The republican
continues; sour accounts from nearly all
quarters of the west represent the fruit of
all kinds as uninjured, or but slightly in
jured, and now beyond reasonable danger of
injury and the prospect is that we shall have
peaches. cherries, pears, and apples in album
dance. The farmers in those counties of this
State and Illinois where orchards are cult
waited for market purposes, are calculating con-
tidently on large fruit yield to bring them a
supply of money in advance OF the field crop.
The growing wheat, from all accounts, never
looked better in the State, and is nearly as
promising in Illinois. la many places it 10
more than knee-high, and on the up
lands unusually green, thick, and vigorous,
with few of those bare patches that severe
winter makes in the fields. 1t is not out of
the way to say that Missouri will yield third
more wheat this year than it did last. The
oat crop has been generally put in, and
promises we'll The proiuss spring rains have
been of great benefit to meadows the grass
is thick and close on the surface, and the hay
yield of the west, one Of the most important
and salable of crops, ought to be unusually
fine.
