Grain, vegetables and fruit, wherevor I went, I Faw the most splendid prospects for a bumper harvest." T. J. Hall of San Francisco, who lias been traveling through not only Utah and Idaho Ida-ho for tho lasl few months, but over the wholo Northwestern agricultural districts, dis-tricts, Is a man who gives expert opinion opin-ion in theso words that ho told a Tribune man at thc Kenyon hotel last night. Mr. Hall Is a member of one of tho largest commission houses on thc Pacific coast, a firm that does buslnoss throughout California, and besides this has a largo export trado to hc Orient. In equally glowing terms did ho express himself concerning tho crops In Eastern Oregon nnd Washington. "Thero Is still an abundant supply of snow In tho mountains; moun-tains; thc Irrigating canals aro full up to the tops of tho banks, tho reservoirs are full and likely to remain so. Thc Irrigation Irriga-tion projects havo been stimulating tho farmers to do planting and laying out to an extent they never contemplated before. be-fore. In tho regjons of dry farms tho fortuitous for-tuitous weather hns been such ns to bring thc grain and alfalfa to a flno condition. con-dition. "In southern Utah, whence I have Just come. I found all the farmers making preparations In advance for shipping llielr frtill nn tn Snll T.nlrf. nnrt tho ninn. tlty as well as thc quality of this fruit will open your eyes." At the meeting of tho Grain-Dealers' association yesterday afternoon the only change made was a 10-cent reduction on cornmoal In small sacks. This brings the figuro down to $1.00 per hundred. Tho chief business transacted at this meeting was tho perfecting of arrangemonts for tho picnic of the association, which will take place at Lagoon on Friday, July 1. On that date all the commission houses belonging to tho association will be closed all day. Moro than 500 expect to go out to tho resort, besides outsiders. Thero will be a big spread and all kinds of fun. Cantaloupe melons havo made their first appearance for this year Only a few were to be found In town yesterday, and the price was $3.25 a dozen. Those retailers re-tailers who aro selling oranges at 2 cents a pound must bo of a charitable disposition. Considering that thc wholesale whole-sale price of oranges Is upwards of $2.75 a case, and that thc avorage weight Is sixty-five pounds to tho case, excluding thc weight of the case, tho net loss to those who aro making this price IS about 1 cVnts a pound. It must bo said, however, how-ever, that theso charitable persons aro hiding their lights under a very thick bushel. Bass' Will Bo Lao This Year. Utah bluck bass will bo later than usual this year on account of tho high waters that provall everywhere. Tho close lime for this fish and mountain trout expires on thc 15th of this month, but tho general gen-eral opinion exists among tho dealers that they will not have any largo quantities for their customers until a week at least after that date. Produce continues to come In from tho pflimtrv In Inrronnlncr nun nt tt tf TTnVi new potatoes are not going as quickly as thCy might, as thc retailers aro having to pay from R to S cents a pound to tho producer pro-ducer for them, whereas tho Imported va-rloty va-rloty can bo had for 3 cents a pound wholesale.

CHICAGO, Juno 0. Spreading of the harvesting operations had a weakening Influence on thc wheat market today. In July wheat there was a net loss of "iWc Corn Is off c. Oats aro down a shade. Provisions are 2c lower to 10c higher.. For the first half hour the wheat market mar-ket showed considerable firmness, due to wet weather In sections of tho Southwest, where harvesting Is In progress. Firmness Firm-ness of foreign markets, especially at Paris, helped to create bullish sentiment at the start. Opening salc3 were at an advance of a shade to c at S to S787c. Tho price soon rose to S7c. Part of tho early demand wus due to a rumor that the Mexican Import duty on wheat was to be suspended. Later there .were dlB-patches dlB-patches from Tennessee stating that cutting cut-ting of wheat had commenced and would I becomo general thc beginning of the week. It was Intimated that tho crop would be the largest In years. AVlth the area of harvesting operations extending dally, wheat traders began to re.allzo that new wheat would Boon becoming be-coming on tho mnrkoL With this in view many traders wore, disposed to take the selling side. Numerous favorable reports ns to crop prospects In general brought out selling orders from some of thc large holders. Tho Kansas State report was quite bearish, showing thc condition of' 'wheat Junc 1 to be 87. against S2 last month. Advices from the spring wheat territory told of continued Improvement In crop conditions. Predictions were reiterated re-iterated that tho Government repprt, to be Issued tomorrow, would bo exceedingly exceeding-ly bearish regarding spring wheat. In tho face of these Inlluenccs buying lacked vim, and prices steadily declined. A rally ral-ly occurred Just before tho closo on covering cover-ing by shorts, but tho market still retained re-tained an easy tone. After selling off to iGVc. July closed at SGc,.
