LEMON MARKET is ADVANCING
1T BIDS FAIR TO REACH THE HIGH
MARK OF LAST YEAR.
Stocks Arc Small and Receipts Are
$4,000 Boxes Less Than
Inst Season.
Office of The Post,


From present conditions lemons bid fair to
reach the high mark of last season. The ad-
vance last week amounted to 75c per box
on fancy stock and soc on low grades Stocks
are fast falling off. with an increased de-
mand by consumers, and the opinion is ex-
pressed by New York dealers that this week
will see another advance of fully 75c to 81 per
box.
The total quantity of lemons in sight at the
present time is so 600 boxes and the total re-
celpts for the season to date are 10000 boxes,
as compared with 1875 600 boxes for same
time last year IL will thus be seen that there
is a shortage OF To- 900 boxes under year ago,
when prices reached s. per box in New York.
With this shortage and only $4,000 boxes
in sight to supply heavy and increasing de-
maud. IL is but natural that an advancing
market should be the outcome.

The Rice NInrkct.

Dan TnlmageS Sons of New York say or
the rice market:
The movement in rice continues of whole
sale proportions: far ahead of the usual mid
summer volume. To the regular demand was
added another large emergency purchase
by governmental authorities for shipment to
Porto Rico. Further business on this ac-
count Is likely and with known requirements
from regular channels, tends to make hold
ers uppish in their views. Some far-sized
invoices of new crop were received during
the week. but between local buyers and neil
orders, everything Is taken up to arrive. AS
heretofore. the chief call at this point is for
fancy foreign and the ordinary grades OF
domestic. Adyices from the South note good
INQUIRY at all points. Naturally New Or
leans with its new crop Louisiana is the
center Of more lively interest and for the
commands the lions share OF patron
age Receipts are steadily enlargng. but
planters have promptly adjusted themselves
TO what may he termed normal values. As n
result, while some OF the trade are still hest.
tant about operating In other than ''tidbt''
way, the majority are taking hold with con-
fdence and the aggregate OF such large vol
ume that prices on rough and cleaned are
firm. in fact fractionally advanced on medium
grades.
Cables and correspondence from abroad re-
port active demand in all styles; market firm
with upward tendency. The situation In AS.
attic countries Is still serious because of the
rregularity in the monsoon rainfall in India
md Burmah. Large districts are suffering
rom dangerous drouth. causing great appre.
tension as there Is nowhere surplus OF
production in sight to Offset the expected de-
iciency In the countries named. Holders arc

Iowa Crop Report.

DEs MONIES, May 1.-THE crop re-
port issued by the Iowa weather and
crop service summarizes the crop con-
ditions in Iowa as follows: There was
more than the usual amount OF cool and
cloudy weather during the past week
and the week closed with q heavy
storm which brought excessive moisture
in portions OF the central and southern
sections Conditions We're generally
favorable, however, during most OF the
week and the time has been we'll i'm
proved in plowing and planting opera
tions. In all districts considerable
progress has been made in planting
corn, with the soil in good tilth. This
work is probably more advanced in the
northern and central districts than in
the southeastern part of the state,
where there has been an excess OF
moisture. Spring wheat, oats and bar
ley have made fine advancement and
the last week has been favorable for
grass. Bnt little damage resulted from
the frost on the 18th. Fruit trees, vines
and berries that escaped destruction
during the winter give promise OF good

LINCOLN, May 1.-THE dry weather
and high winds of the past week have
been unfavorable for the growth of
oats, wheat and all vegetation, but ex-
cellent for the advancement of farm
work. Wheat, oats and grass need
more rain, but no serious injury has re-
suited as yet. The stand Of small
grains is uneven and generally rather
thin, and the growth has been slow be-
cause of the dry weather. Corn plant
ing has progressed rapidly and is near
ing completion in southern counties
and is about half done in most of ths

Severe Storms In Michigan.

DETROIT, May 17.-Severe storms
were quite general throughout the state
yesterday. Hudson, Care, Coldwater,

able property loss, but no lives lost. A
Free Press special from Hudson says:

by a cyclone, which completely de-
stroyed a small brick school building.
There were about Is children in the
building, besides the teacher, Miss
Flossy Fisher Ten of the children
were injured. and it is reported that
two viii surely die. Miss Fisher was
painfully cut about the head. The
building was turned completely over on
its side and then fell to pieces In De-
troit the storm struck the southwestern
part of the city and did about $4,000
worth of damage. Forty houses and
barns were unroofed and one 3.story

pany. The prisoners were brought to
Pretoria by special train. After they
had been lodged in Jail they were Wis
tied by the British diplomatic agent
here. The arrests were effected by a
detective who joined the movement,
which, it is asserted, was for the pur-
pose of enrolling men in order to cause
an outbreak of rebellion, when they
were ready to give the signal. 1t is
said that the enlistment roster included
1000 men and that a number of in
eliminating documents were found at
the time the arrests were made.
1t is said that the commissioner of po'
lice, who had the affair in hand, had
been working up the case four months
Mr.. Beatty, the detective who effected
the arrests, received his instructions last
week and secured the necessary war
rants Thursday.
The executive of the Transvaal is sit
ting in secret session considering the
warrants. Further warrants have beer

already arrested were also preparing tt

the arrests. but says he does not recog.

For,y-Ninth Iowa Come. Home.

DEs MONIES, May 1.-THE 10 COM
panies comprising the Forty-ninth Iowa
volunteers, who have been doing service
in Cuba and the south since their en-
listment, returned to their homes Tues
day. The greatest preparations all over
the state had been made to receive them
and some Of the cities of Iowa went al
most wild with enthusiasm as the trains
bearing the home companies pulled up
to the platform. At Clinton 1000 peo-
pie gathered. Cannon thundered,
whistles blew and men and women
cheered the volunteers as they alighted.
The principal cities, homes of
the companies, are gaily dec.
grated with flags and bunting.
