Bucilneos was better than It has been for many weeks, and all kinds of wheat are plentiful, with the exception of veal. During week b with tho exception of voal. During week be-foro be-foro Inst many of the retail butchers were overstocked with thl meat, and In consequence conse-quence had to cut their prices to the consumer con-sumer a little. The effect of this last week was to make veal scarce. Wholesale Whole-sale meat dolors did not chango their prices cither last week or th wnek beforo, but thft retailers are asking a little more for this. Today will see lho price of Oregon strawberries straw-berries lowered to $-1.75 er crnte. Thoy arc now coming In lrtrgir quantities, and also becoming a good deal sweeter. Oranges are going up today. Seedlings will' bo sold by tho wholesalers at $2,75 per caso, Havana seeds at from $3 to $3.25. A good quality In the Oregon berries Is tho fact that there la practically no shrinkage. Not having so far to come 09 thoso from California, and owing to the fact that Utah Is the chief rrarkot outside the home consumers that the Orogon growers have to supply, extra care Is taken In tho selection selec-tion and packing of those. Dry onions will bo reduced half a cent per pound. A large consignment 6f these came in from California yesterday, and tho good quality nnd plentiful quantity of them enables dealers to make this cut.

WASHINGTON, May 31,-The weekly summary of crop conditions Issued by the weather bureau today says; With the exception ex-ception of tho Northern Reeky mountain region and upper Missouri and upper Mississippi Mis-sissippi Valleys, where the early part of the week avbs too cool, the temperature of the week ending May 30 aams favorablo in all districts, and especially to tho east-Avnrd east-Avnrd of the Mississippi river and In the West Gulf Suites. Oklahoma and portions por-tions of Iowa, Missouri, Wisconsin, Ohio and PcnnsylA'anla haA'o suffered from excessive ex-cessive moisture, while drought continues over .1 large part of the South Atlantic and East Gulf States. Well distributed and beneficial rains fell over the greater part of Texas and the Central Rockv mountain slope. Light frosts occurred In Wisconsin, and heaA'y damaging frosts In Montana. Idaho and tho eastern portions of Oregon and Washington Continued northerly winds causod considerable damage dam-age to fruit and possibly Injured grain In California. Rain Is generally needed on tho North Pacific coast. On the North Pacific coast winter wheat has dono well except In portions of eastern east-ern Washington, Avhero it has been Injured In-jured somewhat by frosls. In California the crop is maturing rapidly, but has probably sustained Injury by drying Avlnds. On the North Pacific coast early spring wheat Is doing well, but rain is needed for the late sown. ,Tho reporlB respecting apples received from tho Central Mississippi and Ohio valleys val-leys nre somewhat less encouraging, but from the Middle Atlantic States. New England Eng-land and tho upper Lake region the reports re-ports are more faA'orablo. In the East Gulf States a good crop of peaches is promised, but elsewhere the outlook la poor.
