Weather Crop bulletin.


WAsu1YGroN, April 12.-The week ending
April 18th was warmer than usual in all
districts except in northern New England,
in Florida. Southern Texas, and on the
North Pacific coast. where the tempera-
ture for the week was about normal. over
all the agricultural districts east OF
the Mississippi the daily temperature
ranged from 3 to 6 degrees above nor
NAL. while on the eastern slope Of the
Rocky Mountains, from Texas and Lou
isiana northward to Minnesota and Da-
kota the week was decidedly warm
the daily temperature ranging from q de-
grees to 12 degrees above the average Of
previous years. The rainfall during the
past week has been in excess throughout
the Lake region, the Upper Ohio Valley
over the greater portion of New England,
in Eastern Minnesota, and Northern New
York. There has been less rain than
usual in all other districts. and over large
area including Kansas. Arkansas. Tennes-
see, South Missouri and the northern por-
tons of Texas, Lou siana, and Mississippi
there was total absence of rain during
the week. Light showers occurred IN the
South Atlantic States and generally
throughout the Northwest and on the
Pacific coast. The precipitation through
out the Lake region and Central
New England generally was excessive.
Over the Middle Atlantic States the
rainfall amounted to about one
half of an inch. The weather during. the
past week has been the most favorable OF
the season for the growing crops and gene
raj teamwork throughout the central val
leys and the northwest, the favorable con-
ditions extending southwark to Texas and
the Gulf States; and seeding is progress
ing rapidly as far north az Minnesota and
Dakota, where the conditions were very
favorable. Crop prospects have improved
in the South, where the planting of cotton
and corn is in progress while the crops
were generally improved in Louisiana and
Mississippi. Richland and St. john
parishes, in Louisiana, are suffering from
overflow. and the uplands in Mississippi
are too dry and much in need of rain. The
light frosts which occurred in the South
Atlantic Sh tes on the 18th slightly injured
tender vegetables. but caused no damageto
the STAPLE crops. In the Middle Atlantic
States the weather was generally unfayor-
able. farm work being much retarded by
continued rain and wet grounds. In Viz
Eiuia, however. the weather was more Ia
vOrable for wheat and grass and the seed
inc of oats Reports from New England
show that ploughing and planting in that
section have been delayed by a wet condi-
ton Of the ground. but tobacco has been
planted in Connecticut. potatoes are being
planted in Massachusetts, and an average
sugar crop is expected in Vermont.

COLUMBUS, Ga, April u. -Considersbls
.xc,tenent was occasioned here to-day
among patrons of the bucket-shops by the
unexpected rise IN pork. The market
opened at Sil.45 per barrel, and several
heavy sales were made. At half-past 10
o'clock prices had Jumped to Sl5, and the
market was reported buoyant. This sent
several spectators $1,000 to $4,000 ahead.
and the excitement was intense. Shortly
after IL O'Clock q telegram was received
from Chicago stating Tia Ut the deal wss a
put-up Job for purpose. and all trades
made this morning were cancelled. The
market closed at sl325, which is believed
to be genuine. though belief prevails
that bogus quotations were given out by
the Chicago Board of Trade to harass the
bucket-shops. Considerable feeling exists
here over the matter, especially among
those who scooped the profits.
