on Easter Sunday but every other

EASTER FREEZE KILLS
FR11T CROP
The Easter storm with a tempera-
ture of 25 and solid frozen ground
Monday morning followed by the
heavy frost and freeze of Tuesday
morning ruined the fine prospects of
a friut crop throughout Oklahoma
and neighboring states.
The loss in Ix)gan county will be
from a half to three quarters of a
million dollars.
The peach, plum and pear crop
were all killed and 90 per cent of the
cherries and apples ruined.
Strawmerries and blackberries and
grapes probably escaped.
Early garden vegetables of all
kinds were badly damaged and pota-
toes and corn frozen black.
H*he first cutting of Alfalfa is also
ruined in most localities.
E. Kennelly, formerly one of the
proprietors of the Post Office Drug
store, was in Guthrie Tueday on
his way to Cunshing to visit a
daughter. He is now engaged in' five children, 33 grand-children
lower, up $(J.50.
Stockers and Feeders.
Lower prices for fat cattle caused
declines in stock and feeding grades-
Demand for the better classes was
fairly active at the decline. The re-
cent cold weather will delay pur-
chases for gazing cattle for a time,
and also hold back the movement
from the Southwest into northern
pastures.
Hogs.
Hog prices today declined 25 to 40
cents, taking the top under the $10.00
level for the first time in several
weeks past. The top price was $9.90
bulk $9.00 to $9.85. At more Eastern
markets sharp declines prevailed
also, and the general market was in
a wear position. Here demand was
active at the decline and a close
clearance was reported. Pigs were
weak to 25 cents lower, top $11-50.
Sheep and Lambs.
Larger supplies of lambs in Chi-
cago and Omaha than the trade re-
quired caused sharp declines on
those markets and moderate de
clines elsewhere. Here prices were
15 to 25 cents lower. Lambs sold up
to $9.t!0, ewes $5.75 and yearlings
$8.00. Some 100 pound lambs sold a*
low as $8.25.
Horses and Holes.
Demand, for horses and mules in-
creased moderately this week but the
supply was sufficient to meet all re-
quirement. Prices weer unchanged
