Chicago, April 18.-After recordi-g
an advance of 1Nc to-day on sensa-
tional crop news, wheat turned weak
on profit taking and closed unchanged
for May and asc net higher for July.
Corn declined 1sc. Oats closed a shade
lower. Pork rose sc and lard and ribs
21xc each.
A report by the Illinois agricultural
burea which claimed the crop in the
State was in an exceedingly bad con-
dition started wheat strong. This
statement met with a good deal OF
criticism, however, and after strong
effort the bears succeeded in causing
the loss of the greater part of &c adj
vance at which trading had commence
ed. Private crop reports were plenti-
ful and on the whole as bad as ever,
but liquidation of May holdings pre-
vented any extensive advance during
the greater part CT the afternoon. The
Illinois report, however, was too sen
sationally bad to be ignored and 1t re-
asserted itself later in the day in spite
of the selling out of long wheat and
short selling of July. The latter was
of benefit to the market later when
shorts took fright and began to con-
tend with the bulls for the limited Of
ferings. Chicago received 109 cars, ten
of which were of graded contract. Min
neapolis and Duluth got TIA cars, COM
pared with 1853 for the same day last
year. The worlds visible decrease was
686,000 bushels. Realizing near the
end of the session on account of the
bearish crop summary covering the
Southern State and statement on re-
liable authority that 80 per cent OF
spring seeding would be done In ten
days resulted in a loss of nearly all
the advance. July reported premium
of 1Ac over May July opened at 1913
@75Hc, declined to 74$4c, advanced up
to 76Ac, declined to 745sc and closed
at 747sc. May followed July closely,
closing at 1880.
Corn disappointed holders, proving
very Indifferent to the wheat excite
ment. Prices ruled steady but within
narrow limit. Receipts, 2S7 cars.
May opened &c higher at 355s @351sc,
sold sparingly at 351ac, declined to
351sc and closed at 351s 03514c.
Oats were strengthened by Brad
streets statement of the available sup
ply as it showed a decrease of 661, 900
bushels for the. week. This was about
three times larger than the visible de-
crease given yesterday. Receipts, 179
cars. May started a shade higher at
&c and declined to 26Bc sellers at the
close.
Scattering out side buying and cover
ing strengthened provisions. There was
a good deal of changing from May to
July. May pork opened 21hc higher at
$9.02h, advanced to $9.07A09.10, then
reacted to $905 at the close. The range
in lard and ribs was small.
Estimated receipts for Wednesday:
Wheat, 62 cars; corn, 120 cars; OTIS, 100
cars; hogs, $4,000 head.
The leading futures ranged as follows:

The White Oak.

Mr.. ED1TOR:-
Some time this summer | saw an
article in your paper that someone
lin Stowe, | think, had obtained
and set white oak tree in their
yard. The language used, thought,
expressed a doubt about the success
of the experiment. We have been ex-
perimenting in the growth of white
oak timber in Lamoille county for
36 years. | now have one oak that
one foot above the ground its cir
conference is 81 inches, making it's
diameter about Is inches. Twenty
eight years ago last fall that oak
tree was in my vest pocket. 1t is a
beautiful tree and money could not
buy it. 1t is greater satisfaction
TO me to look upon that tree than to
look upon yellow gold. | have five
other oaks that were set out long
afterwards varying in diameter from
10 to II inches. The six trees have
long borne acorns. 1t is my opinion
there is no tree grown that will -four
'ish better than the white oak in La
mobile county, and We would like to
"ee fhA. Il scattered through the coun-
ty. The little girl on the farm says
she will pick them for 10 cents pint,
and also says she has counted them
and there are so in pint. All are
welcome to them, but | can't stop to
pick them up. They will have to ap-
peal to the little girl. We have an
other thing to give away, if any
choose to come after them, 1.-the
Snyder blackberry bushes or canes"
They are a rank growth and prolific
bearer. They can be taken up and
transplanted from now on until it
freezes up. III. MORSE.
