FELL OFF A FRACTION
MAY WHEAT WEAKER AT CHICAGO,
n DECLINED Use.
Better Crop News Had Its Effect ON
All the Markets, Including
Provision Lines

CHICAGO. April fS.-Fine growing wealth
er. lack of export and milling demand and
the denial of c%hinchbug damage caused
wheat to rule weaker to-day. May closed at
$3.50, or sc below yesterdays close. Corn
and oats declined &c and Nc. respectively.
Pork quiet at l21kc under yesterday. lard
.02E2c and ribs Csc.
The very favorable weather now prevail
ing and prospects for the next few days
had much 10 do with with the weakness
OF wheat at the opening and during the
forenoon. Crop reports also covering the
period since the close of the previous month
gave a good account of the progress made
by the wheat plant since 1t came under the
influence Of growing weather. Added to rhe
favorable crop news was the unsympathetic
tone OF the foreign markets TO yesterdays
advance here. The public cablegram quoted
spot wheat in Liverpool unchanged and fut-
ures Nd higher. May wheat opened at from
66Hc to 66Ac. declined to 667sc, recovered to
661sc, and then began a decline which took
it down to 65Ac with a subsequent recovery
to &c and 6o%c, the closing quotation. One
Of the weak features of the days ~statisti-
cal news was that no wheat was cleared
from New iork In the last twenty-Iour
try millers at a premium over May price
has practically ceased; in fact, some pre-
tlOuSly puTcudSeu mas Deeu OTueTeu TtSOiu.
The visible supply statement on Monday
has possibilities Of a comparatively heavy
decrease, and from 1000. 600 Blu upward was
the generally-expressed expectation or II.
The backward state of spring wheat seeding
in the Northwest was again a matter Of
frequent comment, but the extra moisture
which Is the present chief barrier to a rap
id completion of the seeding, was generally
considered more than ample compensation
for two weeks delay in getting the seed
in.
Corn suffered from the weakness of the
wheat market, and the generally favorable
outlook for the planting time. May corn
opened at 30kGS015c, declined to 30c and
closed at 301sc sellers.
For a Saturday the oats market was Very
active. Good offerings and sympathy with
wheat made the feeling easier. May opened
at zoe. sold off to 1890 and closed with that
price bid.
The provision market starter firm. but
with the tendency of the grain markets.
Estimates for Monday-Wheat, 10 cars;
corn, $50 cars; oats, go cars; nogs, 1900.
Leading futures ranged as follows:

CHICAGO, April 1S.-We have had a sair-
ly active wheat market for a Saturday. The
business lone has been largely changing
May into July at about 1c premium over
May. Crop reports from the winter States
are better, although many of them point to
a very small crop. We think as the season
advances the Improvement will be more
marked. The backward weather. late SOW
ing and limited acreage plowed is the next
bull factor on the cards. Sentiment here As
rather bearish, outside of a few who gee
higher prices ahead. All conditions consid-
cred, we think we should do better. and after
the movement of the Duluth stocks this i'm
provement should come. Atlantic shipments
are light. so are receipts at primary mar
kets. Estimates for the visible next week
are put at about a million bushels decrease.
The corn market has been very weak all
day under the influence Of fine weather and
free selling by receiving houses. Shorts
bought heavily yesterday, leaving very little
buying support to the market to-day.
Oats were easy, local longs selling. Ship
ping houses selling some.
Provisions opened rather firm with some
outside buying. Selling by packers eased
prices. Volume of trade was rather light,
dullness of cash business Is discouraging to
friends of the product. Receipts Of hogs con-
tinue liberal, which also helped the depres-
sion of prices.

Honey Farming.

The honey trade in this country has
grown to great proportions, for honey
has ceased to be a great luxury, says
the New York Tribune. "It forms part
OF the grocer's stock in the smallest
hamlet, and bakers and candy makers
and patent medicine men use it by the
hogshead. There are several firms in
this city who regard an order of 81, 900,
$1,000 or $4,000 worth just as a dry
goods merchant looks on an order for
nifty yards of muslin. New York, Bos-
ton and Chicago are the centers of
the trade in this country, and London
rules the world. The supply is steady,
tor II there is a shortage in one part
OF the country or the world, another
part is sure to make it up. There is no
use in attempting to make an estimate
OF the value of the crop, but it will go
we'll into the millions. It is known
that there are 80, 900 bee-keepers in the
United States, and many who are I'M
known. Honey comes from all parts of
the country, but California and the
northern states supply the greater part.
The southern states do not furnish as
much as would be expected, partly be-
cause people are not paying attention
to the work, and partly because bees
are not cared for as well as at the
north. The honey which the southern
states do send is different from that
OF the other states; the product of Flor
ida is considered the best, but that is
only as cheaper grade.

Horticultural Notes.
l.. H. Bailey.

Prof. ]. L. Budd, writing in the Iowa
State Register, gives some important
suggestions, which we republish, as fol-
lows:
Cherry on Own Roots: Careful OBJ
servation will show that the cherry
trees that are sprouting in garden and
orchard are mostly on their own roots.
Our cherry trees are either budded on
Mahaleb stocks or crown grated on
MaZzard seedlings. The mahaleb root
never sprouts. So if sprouts appear 1t
shows that the tree has been planted
deep enough so that roots come from
the scion which throws up sprouts. The
Mazzard root may sprout, but as usual
ly planted it rarely does. If it does
sprout, the leaf is so peculiar that it can
be detected at once. The point we wish
to make is that every little sprout of
valuable variety. if set in nursery row,
will make valuable tree. Within the
past week we have seen valuable
sprouts in farmers gardens who were
talking about buying more cherry trees.
Do not forget that the sprout from
good variety is more valuable than a
grated tree.
Clean Up and Plow the Garden: We
again repeat the statement that the
garden cleaned up and plowed in the
fall is in better condition for planting
in the spring, and it is rarely infested
with cut worms. Indeed, during the
past twenty-five years we have not
failed to pillow the garden in the fall and
we have rarely had plant cut of by
cut worm. We also never fail to turn
over in the fall land on which we ex-
peet to plant the spring small fruits.

Planting Annie Seeds.

Having planted more or less each
year for the last forty-two years, and
tried spring and fall with varied sue
cess the fall planting did the best,
writes P. M. Gideon in the Cultivator.
l SOW the seed in the drill and cover
not more than one inch deep, and so
planted, scarcely seed will fail to
terminate the next spring. The seeds
to do their best should be planted not
less than one inch apart, and if to be
grown as orchard trees without graft
ing, they should take one winter in
nursery to test their hardness, and
then reject all that fail to make hardy
growth and a perfect terminal bud.
Take up and set in orchard at one year
old, for at that age the tap root can be
had entire and easily planted. In

thousands of seedlings, and in a pro-
| miscuous lot not more than one in fifty
will be fairly good apple. To make
seedlings success requires experience
and careful culling. My best success
was 1000 culled from 10000, and even
then some poor ones.
