pointing Crop Reports

New York. April 15.-The reaction
which spectators had considered
overdue for some time past. developed
last week, after the level of prices had
been lifted again to the highest of the
present year. A number OF factors
were given an unfavorable interpreta-
ton and were held responsible in vary
ing degree for the downward turn Of
prices. These were found in the field
OF politics and also of agriculture. in
dustry and labor. Meanwhile the
stock market gay evidence that real

Doubt Prosperous Crops.
Crop news threw doubt on the con-
fident assumptions Of 4 prosperous
year. which had been a very important
influence OF the rise In stocks. Those
assumptions had been based on rath-
er sweeping conclusions from the us
ual succession of fall crops after short
crops and from the general belief in
the good effect of heavy SHOWS n q
vet spring on the agricultural yield to
follow.
The government estimate Of winter

was supplemented by later official re-
ports OF winter killing Of the crop.
Flood damage and the late spring
were held to threaten delay in plant

that no reliable conclusions could be

The metal trades gave a favorable
account of themselves. The decrease

Minneapolis. April 16.-Prospects
are good for the real opening of the
strawberry season next week. Many
cars are now moving in this district
from Louisiana. and with a plentiful
supply Of fancy stock at reasonable
prices there aought to be a real boom
in the movement. Arrivals 80 far this
spring have been better than average
quality for first shipments. carrying
we'll and being Of good color. The
southern crop, based upon present
conditions. Is an abundant one, and
with anything like favorable weather
for the full ripening Of berries, will
give all sections Of the country an am
pie amount and at very reasonable
figures. Quotations on 24-pint cases
have ruled around SO the past few
days. but prospects are for a Is to so
cent lower price next week. and straw.
April delivery. They will be welcome
to the northwest. and dealers should
arrange for a full supply. as they will

they assure steady supplies and best

Very few changes are shown on

Grape fruit Is also in light supply. The

1.-THE Bad" Family.
Those who are interested in the put
ting away Of eggs for future use are
somewhat disappointed in the high
range to which this commodity il
holding. Up to the present time no
amount worth considering has gone
into coalers, the surplus over and
above the amount required for current
consumption locally going out on ship
ping orders into non-producing sec
tons. Those interested are settling
down to the opinion that values viii
hold considerably higher than ruled
last spring. although some shading Of
present figures IL looked for. Under
the general circumstances now shown.
prompt shipments are advisable, as
there are no possibilities of an ad-
vance while shrinkagc in quality will
be an important item as soon as the
warm weather now due arrives. Fresh
eggs were selling candled a year ago
ut IA, with case count a cent lower.
