j While cables from Berlin stated that
the tenor of Germany’s preliminary re

character, traders were Inclined to con
tinue their watchful waiting policy
pending the publication of the Govern

cent a year ago, against a ten-year av

that conservative Interests are more In

and early June, prices are not apt to
be so depressed that the first unfavor

power to prevent recoveries. For this
reason many are more disposed to fa

NEW ORLEANS. May 29 The sur
prise in politics over-night was the
news from Washington that patience
with Mexico Is at an end and that
Washington will send that country a
note close to an ultimatum. Coming
at a time of general political tension,
this step could only tend to further dis
turb trade feeling.
Weather conditions over night were
favorable, generally fair weather pre
vailed outbide of the Atlantic*; there
was no rain wast of the river, but gen
eral light showers east. Indications are
for partly cloudy to fair weather over
the entire belt to day, but increasing
cloudiness and becoming unsettled in the
Western States tow-ard Monday.
Little Rock. Ark., reports the worst
flood in the Arkansas Valley, rains and
floods damaging crops
The market opened unchanged and
firmed up a few points on scattered cov
ering. Reading Is rather pessimistic,
but New York gossip, with hardly an
exception, shows the intention there to
disregard anything and tb work for a
while on technical conditions it is
claimed that there l* a shofi Interest to
work on This admission of Intention
explains to s great extent why th* mar
ket has not gone down lately and the
stubborn rallies from depressions. New
York will be closed Monday
The Bureau condition report Tuesday
le expected to show an average for the
belt around the ten-year average of
79 5. We compare with a condition of
74 3 per cent on May 25, last year.

News and Notes
On the Grain Crop
CHICAGO, May 29—The Price Cur
rent ^Reporter says-
"Needed rain has fallen over the drv
area and In time to help the growing
wheat and rats and to give the corn
cron a good start.
"Too much rain has Injured some
wheat In the Southwest, a number of
Texas counties reporting damage Some
damage has been caused by chinch bug.
but the wet weather is very destruc
tive to the insect.
“Damage to wheat by Hessian fly has
been amply confirmed and the area cov
ers half of Kansas, two-thirds of the
Mlsfopaippl-Missouri lands and half of
the hig wheat counties of Illinois and
Tnd'anfl, with some damage in Southern
Michigan. On the whole, the loss from
this pe«* may amount to from 50,000,-
000 to 60 000.000 bushels The prospect
at the present time is for a yield lass
than last year on an acreage 10 per
cent larger than that harvested.”
• p ♦
Clement. Curtis A Co say: “Reports
show extension of fly damage Into Ohio
wheat and a widening of the Kansas
area westward Pawnee County reports
50 per cent loss. Oklahoma and Texas
ror*-espondents say prospects are re
duced by too much rain On the basts
of reports to date, We estimate a de
crease of 80,600,000 bushels from May 1
profnlse.”*
• * •
Advices from P. W. Enow indicate
further deterioration of the Kansas
wheat crop. He also says: “The crop
<s ten days late, most of It not show

general in Southern Kansas before July

The Fidelity Fruit ajid Produce Com
pany, In their weekly letter to the trade,
say:
"While our market has been badly
overstocked on a few itnea. it is in very
good shape on most varieties The re
ceipts of aquaahea, cucumber* and to
matoes have been heavier than the
demand which caused prices to break to
around $1 per drum \v© have Informed
growers and shippers, who will no
doubt divide their shipments to other
market* and send only enough to At
lanta to supply the demand, which will
enable us to get satisfactory prices for
their goods. Beans, wnile around $1.25
prr drum, are cleaning up dally, re
ceipts are heavy. The potato market
has been better than usual, with Flor
ida receipts cleaning up without a break
In prices The Georgia and South Caro
lina crop 13 now moving at very good
prices with receipts just about equal to
the demand. The low price for beans
has practically stopped the sale of cab
bage; very little demand. The Florida
celery crop is over, only the green aum-
nier variety to be had, which Is now'
selling at satisfactory prices. Lettuce is
very scarce. Peppers of good quality is
in limited supply. The receipts of Ber
muda onions are heavy from Florida,
Georgia and Louisiana, and we look for
the price to decline within the next few
days.
“The market Is strong for anything in
fruit, all peaches, strawberries and
cherries selling on arrival at good prices.
There is not enough good stock to supply
the demand Pineapples from Florida
are becoming more plentiful, but selling
on arrival at good prices. The season
for Florida oranges and grapefruit is
over.
"We had'the first cantaloupes of the
season out of Florida this week The
crop is expected to start in earnest next
week, whieh will be used in the place
of grapefruit. Contrary’ to expectations,
the* lemon market is weak. We can see*
no reason for a break In prices, since
our heaviest receipts come fWm Italy,
and the prospects of her attention being
called to more strenuous business than
shipping lemons there is every reason for
the market to hold firm. Watermelons
should start next week. The crop re
ported short Poultry is firm, with
slightly advanced, prices Eggs are about
the same as they have been for some
time.”
