CHICAGO, April 2.—Warm rains throughout | the Southwest, whers fears of blight had pre- | vailed, together with suggestions of an im- | | provement in the crop situation from other | | sections, gave wheat a weak start. May | | opened %o to %o lower, at 74i4c, and advanced | to %e. All the opening strength oozed out | toward the end of the session. May declined to | 78%c and closed at T4@7i%c. Primary Western market recaipts were only 261,000 bushels, com- | | pared with 433,000 bushels a year ago. Atlan- | tic port clearances of wheat and flour were equal to 211,000 bushels. Crop reports as 4 whole were unfavorable, but in several cas confiicting, and the market had many change within a moderate range. Liquidation con- tinued, however, on all the hard spots, and | near the close the market was in a very heavy mood. Short selling by Wall-street intereats west also had a bearish influence. July fluctua- tions kept in close touch with May at 1ic to 13c premium. Speculative interest was limited in corn, and a slightly lower range of prices was estab-' lished. Rains throughout the corn States and | indlcations of increased acreage had a de- pressing influence. May comn closed ¥o to %o | Tower. | Oats were weak and lower in sympathy with the leading grains. There was an enormovs cash demand, but it was said to be old busi- nees transacted under the reduced export rates inaugurated yesterday, but withdrawn to-day on the plea that it was a mistake.

The gloomy news from the Prune crop, men- tloned In The Call of vesterday, is abundantly confirmed from a number of sources. The drop is very severe and takes in the whole State, Santa Clara, Sonoma, the San Joaquin and all, | It is generally agreed that the dry weather | last year is the cause. Many orchards lose all } their Prunes, others a quarter to a half, and so | on. The irrigated orchards seem to be stand- ing the visitation better than the non-irrigated, thus tending to prove the theory given above. ‘The trees blossomed so liberally that the whole State immediately rushed to the conclusion that the crop would be immense, but experienceda crchardists know by bitter experience that a fine crop of blossoms does not necessarily mean a fine crop of fruit. The drop will probably cease in a few days, when the full extent of the damage will be known. Prices for all descriptions remain unchanged.
