CHICAGO. May 19.— The rapid appearance
of cash wheat tn local elevators arid the near
approach of the delivery day served to start
a general demand for May. With- the rush
for that option stiffened, the. ideas, of holders
of July and September stiffened accordingly.
Starting with a gain of "ic to %e at 87%c,
July advanced steadily to 69%c, with but one
setback of sufficient weight to carry the price
under the opening. A disposition on the part
of tbe pit traders to play for a break after
the early advance carried July back 'to 87%c
and September to 81%c. The large owners
of the deferred options, however, held aloof
and the clamor for ¦ May shows the. popular
sentiments as to the present scarcity < and
prospective supplies of grain. The result was
a gain of V4c r to %c In -July at 88*i6S8%c
and of %©%c In September to 62c. the latter,,
having sold up to 82%c at its best. Outside
of the weather outlook and a decline In for
eign markets, the bulk of the' news, was
bullish ¦ .' ~

The report cf Edward A. Urals, section di
rector United States Weather Bureau, for th?
Oregon Crop Bulletin for the week ended May
1«. U as .follows:
The 'past t .-.•",. has been dry and. although
i{ averaged wanner than the w«*k previous.
It was too ,cool for rapid growth and ger
nslnattcn. The bulk of fall wheat is In ex
ci>H*nt condition, but in a few places in Uma
tilla!.County the freeze of the week previous
did material darr.atre. which very likely will
t>e greaUy retrieved should warm rains occur
during the next week or so. Spring wheat
seeding U nearly completed, and the stands
«>vcry»here are reported above the avrage.
In favored localities fall barley and fall rye
are beginning to head. Range grass and for
tge crop* continue doing splr-ndldly. and stock
is beginning to get fat. • Corn and potato
i :.-:r :::.c 'are general, and in some of the
j-outh«rn counties corn planting is r^arly com
pi'-tfd. Gardens also are nearly ail planted.
but the growth of vegetables has be«n slow. •
Hops are healthy and promising, and the
cultivation cf the yards has proceeded unin
terruptedly during the week. The condition
of fruit l"s somewhat uncertain, but nearly all
<-tirr«>«riot.'5» > ni6 apree that Italian prunes will
be almost a failure. Har'y cherries, pears and
reaches have fuff<»r*d some injury from the
late- frosts! but it Is believed they will y»t
fTive satisfactory yields. Apples are promis
ing and strawberries and bush fruits will be
plentiful.

continued, almost lifeless to-iay. Whenever
eny activity developed the toni of the market
became soft, showing the predominance of eell
ini over buying orders In the very narrow
market. When prices ceased their slow down
ward tendency the market fell Into profound
dullness and neglect, thus reflecting the un
»Miriness of any buyers to take stocks un
an upward- scale of prices. So argued the
room traders, whose oj« rations are devoted to
following the movements of larger operators.
As the meager dealings were almost wholly
made up of the room traders' transactions,
they were drawing deductions from their own
operations. The trading etarted at some
slight gains due to the sympathetic Influence
of the London market. In which rumors were
reiwrtcd to be In circulation of prospects for
the coming of peace in the Far East. The
resumption of selling of United States Steel
preferred on the continuing effect of pessimis
tic reports from the iron trade was the first
dra* uoon the market. But the heav tone
spread to other quarters. ' The sub-treaeury
statement showed gains at the expense of the
banks for the week of $IL290,<X«. promising
another formidable Inroad upon the surplus
reserve of the banks, the more so as the $21.

th* demand for money, but did not define its
limits.
The severe reduction in New Tort. Central's
net earnings for the quarter emphasized the
effect of unfavorable returns by other systems.

As previously mentioned, the Potato market
was badly, congested with old Oregon Bnr
banks, which continued Ho arrive freely by
rail and there were 4G52 sacks received by
steamer. Strictly fancy lot* met with prompt
salt- at the top quotation, but for the general
market $1 50 was an extreme figure and deal
ers were willing to make concessions on poor
lots., Receipts of new, Potatoes were 774 sacks
from across the bay and 200 boxes from the
river. The river stock cleaned up well at
2@2Mc per pound, but the train with supplies
from across the bay arrived) too late for the
regular trade and th» bulk of' the receipts were
still unsold at the close. Receipts of new Red
Onions were over 1000 sacks, and as there was
an abundance of . carried-over ; stock prices
ranged lower on the wharf. '
Supplies of most kinds of vegetables were
well up to requirements and prices showed but
slight variation. The train with fresh supplies
Of Peas and Rhubarb was delayed and did not
arrive until late in the forenoon, but there was
sufficient carried-over stock on hand to meet
the demand. The bulk of the belated arrivals
of Peas went to the canners at lc per pound,
equivalent to 65@75c per sack. Asparagus,
too was purchased freely by the canners, who
paid 4%<&5c per pound. '
Receipts of vegetables included 1010 boxes
of Asparagus,' 2SS boxes of Rhubarb and 128S
sacks of Peas. -^ .

'• SUMMARY- OF THE MARKETS.
"I am Inclined to the opinion that we shall
grow in Oregon, If nothing unforseen happens.
105.000 to -110.000 bales, which will b» about
20.OUO bales more than last year. . Taking Into
consideration the Increase In California and
Washington, we might get an output pn the
Pacific Coast of 210,000 bales. Figuring New
York State wltb 60. 0C0 .bales, the crop of the
United States In 1904 might reach 270iOOO
bales, which Is far in excess of the demand
Of our breweries. Of course, we are dependent
on exports to England, which might come up
to 5O.COO bales, leaving for home consumption
about 220.000 bales. Figuring the output of
beer for 1904-1905 at 50.000.COO barrels would
leave us apparently a surplus of 30,000 bales.
Of course this calculation Is baaed on the re
turns of the acreage In the four Hop- growing
States and is barring accidents."
