their groves and new growers are
getting a start.
Mr.. Madison states that there are
now approximately 10000 producing
citrus trees between Beeville and
Falfurrias. Green, half grown or
anges taste sweeter than the matured
products of the California orchards,
according to Mr.. Madison. He at
tributes this to the character of the
soil and the intrusion of cold breezes
which help TO add quality that is
not present in oranges that grow in
an even warm climate.
The 10000 egg hatchery being
erected at Taft by C. O. Mainland
will be in operation within 30 days,
Mr. Madison said. Mr.. Mainland
has already received an order from
one man for 1900 baby chicks.
These chickens will be raised for
commercial purposes only.
A cotton crop that will average
half or three quarters bale per
acre is being harvested in most Of
that section. Some spots have beca
damaged by worms so that no more
tlian a quarter of bale will he Sc.
cured, but other places will harvest
fully n bale to the acre. he said.

Ohio Oil recovered the ground lost yesterday when it announced a cut of 10 cents a barrel in crude prices and Standard Oils of Indiana and Kansas each closed ab1it a point higher.
 Schulte Stores touched 93, new peak price, on declaration of an SS dividend on the common, payable quarterly in cumulative preferred stock. It dropped later to 91.

Some Nebraska houses now of the opinion that the state. will have only about 3o 0o0,000 bushels of wheat about half as much as year ago. North western conditions are unfavorabe in many sections, and the Canadian situa- ton is bullsh also. Canadian estimates of acreage indicate a reduction of any where from 20oo,Ooo to S,5ooooo acres This reduction is likely to be duplicated greater reduction as our farmers prob ably have greater choice of crops.

Cotton Market Very| Irregular Past Week

NEW YORK, April 13.-The cotton mar ket has been very irregular during the past at the beginning of the period, prices broke under near month liquidation, sell ing off something like 50 to 100 points offerings subsided there were rallies on the frmer ruling of Liverpool cables and continued compl aints of delays In the new crop start. A good part of the losses were recovered. but the market eased again to day under renewed liquidation which was promoted by reports of a less active de- mand for cotton goods. com plain.s Of continued poor spot demand and hope Of clearing weather over the week-end'
 The action of the late week market was regarded by local traders as Indicating that the wet. cold weather and delay in the new crop start had failed to ,ae snake yield of cotton this year. Scarcity of farm labor has been emphasized by the publi- cation of government figures showing a supply below normal over most of the cot ton belt, and 1t is considered quite clear that the crop VIII not secure f r., the s, esr1y ay the southern sections of the belt These features. however. seemed to be largly off set by belief that recent rains have put good season in the ground, and that with good weather during the latter part of April and throughout the early growing season, a large yield Is still quite possible.
 Meanwhile. buyers of both cotton goods and spot cotton are supposed to be holding poets ,and doubts are being expressed by local traders as to whether the strong sta tistical position will be sufficient to sus- tain prices should there be two or three weeks of good growing weather in the belt Notwithstanding the smaller busi- ness reported in the cotton goods trade at first hands there has been no indication of any slackening in domestic mill activity and manufacturers generally are sup posed to be pretty well supplied with or dcrs.
 Fall River sales of print cloths for the week were estimated at 35,000 to 50.000 pieces, representing the smallest business for some time Rather a better tone has been reported in Manchester. however. and a tendency toward increased difficulties be tween Liverpool and American markets suggests that spnners abroad are running short of supplies

COTTON MARKET
 OPENS STEADY TO DROP DURING DAY

NEW YORK, April 18.-The cotton market opened steady on relatively steady cables and wet weather map, but turned very weak during the middle of the day under realizing or. liquidation on prospects for improv- ing weather conditions over Sunday. July sold off from 2S.75c to 2S.27, or 40 points net lower, and closed at 2S45c, with the general market clos ing barely steady. 21 to S2 points net lower.
 The market opened steady, ' points lower on August, but generally to points higher on the Liverpool cables, and unsettled weather in the south. The weather news, however, created an impression that the storm was moving eastward with prospect that 1t would be followed by grad ually clearing conditions, and prices soon turned easier under realizing Reports of a less active demand for cotton goods and complaints of continued poor spot demand, evident ly increased the disposition to liqui- Qate long contracts, ana the SelllnS became more general and active when the detailed weather reports show ing heavy rains over the belt failed to stimulate fresh buying. May broke from 29.50c to 29.01c and Oc- tober from 25.92c to 25.43c, with the general list showing net declines of about 30 to fl points. Some stop or ders were uncovered on this break and last prices showed rallies of some 12 to IS points from the lowest on the old and early new crop deliveries on covering. There were rumors that southern mills had bought enough cotton to keep them going pretty well through the balance of the season, and part of the selling here seemed to be based on a belief that there would be very little improvement in spot demand for the near future un- less there should be a scare over the crop start. Private cables said there was poor trade demand in Liver. pool and that the advance there had been chiefly due to buying on less favorable crop news, but the local market paid very little attention to the rain news from the belt.
