CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.

CHICAGO. May 26.-Wheat opened at de-
cline OF 1c to nc. due chiefly to disappointing
cables, liberal Northwest receipts and reports
of an Improvement in the condition of the
spring crop. Selling for both accounts was
heavy, and the market ruled weak up to the
last hour of the session, when 1t rallied on an
accumulation of domestic crop damage news
and unfavorable advices from Europe. Sell
ing soon resumed. however. and became so
aggressive during the last fifteen minutes that
the market weakened again and closed within
to 114c lower. at 75AQ751ac, declined to 75c. ad-
vanced to 76Ikc, and sold off TO 7514c at the
close.
Favorable crop reports and an announce
ment by prominent statistican that the acre
age would reach 81, 900 weakened corn. July,
14c lower.
Oats declined under liquidation. owing to
slack cash demand, heavy receipts and favor
able weather. July lost 12c to 5sc.
Heavy hog receipts and the tendency of the
grains weakened provisions. Pork lost 71Ac to

, OREGON FRUIT AND GRAIN CROPS.

Il. s. Pague. section director, United States
Department of Agriculture for the Climate and
Crop Bulletin of the Weather Bureau, Oregon
section, gives the condition of the fruit and
grain crops for the week ended Monday, May
22 as follows
The bulletin for the corresponding week last
year announced general rains and low tenn
perature, ho-- opportune they We're and the
great benefit to crops The same conditions
prevail this year. but so much weather of
the kind has preceded that, instead of a
benefit 1t has been injurious The soil is
cold and wet. Seeding has been delayed, and
now cannot be finished before June TO- then,
should warm, dry weather prevail, the late
spring crop viii not amount to much. Fall
sown grain has made little growth, though 1t
has excellent stand; early sown spring grain
Is doing well the higher land Warmer
weather will be Of great benefit TO the grain
crop.
Fruit continues to drop, and especially, so
for prunes. In some orchards the Italian
prunes will be absolute failure In others,
u small crop is probable. The Petite and Sill
Yer prunes have not fallen so badly, and they
and pears have been dropping, but, as rule,
good crops will be had The peach crop in
the southern counties is good; in the northern
counties there Will be very few for shipment
Apples are yet blooming and a good crop is
promised. The cause of the dropping is eVi-
IDENTIFY due to the cold soil and absence OF
heat TO force the sap up the tree; the fruit
IS therefore literally starved to death, and it
then drops to the ground. The fruit, to-day,
promises to be a smaller crop than was ever
before grown in the Stale
