All dealers express confidence In the stable character of && existing market. Receipts continue "surprisingly large In. view -of the fact thafjhe country to regarded as well cleaned up oLthe prod uct All offerings are bought ..up readily for shipment to California. Onions are scant, although there are several large foldings in the country, kept back for Mgher market. Nothing was doing in this product yesterday, because there was nothing U cell. The first shipment of new California onions will arrive today, and from now on wjll tend to bring prices down. .Eggs refused to move at 15c, and deal ers have dropped back to 1414"c. These aire regarded as the natural figures at present. It "was desired to lift prices above the present level, for current quo tations allow slight. If any, profit to re tailers, but the market failed to respond higher. Quoted prices are firm. Recent Strength caused country dealers to hold ' supplies, but since the present market has come to be regarded stable, receipts have enlarged, and checked the advancing ten dency. Cold storage is about finished, and now dealers are considering whether the market -will clear Itself as readily as when part of the receipte were being put away. Quoted butter prices keep that product moving In a satisfactory manner, and the 'market has acquired steadiness. Second grade also is gradually recovering, with the aid of California orders. The sea son of Winter storing is approaching, and some Is already being put away. Poultry Is still slow, young chickens being the only kind in demand. California produce by eteamer will be on hand today at usual prices. Domestic vegetables are gradually taking the place of Imported, Rhubarb and asparagus are In full quantity, besides lettuce, radishes, onions, etc. Ripe bananas have been scant this week, owing to greenness of last receipts.

Grain, Flour, Etc The wheat market struck another soft soot yesterday, and fell away quite ma terially at the opening, but recovered- some of the lost strength in the East be fore the cloee. California received an other soaking rain, and there was more -weakness in that quarter than elsewhere. In the local market, there was more of a sympathetic feeling with other markets, and as buyers had taken on about all the high-priced wheat they wanted last week, moet of them shortened up their limits to E9c and 59c for Walla Walla. There is nothing offering at these prices, however, and the business is at a stand still for the present. Shipments for April were the largest on record for a corre ponding month, and there is consider able wheat still held on spot. Wheat Walla Walla, nominal, 5959H:c; blucstem, 61c; Valley, nominal.

The aggregate sales of all stocks today went ahead of yesterday's hitherto unprecedented total, rising to, 3,022.100 shares. Last Wednes day's record sales of a single stock were 662,000 shares of Union Pacific, compared with today's sales of 459,100 of United States Steel. The aggregate sales of both the common and preferred stock of United States Steel amounted today to 648,000 shares. Another record was clipped today for a single hours business, sales for the first hour amounting to over 1,000,000 shares, against the previous maximum of less than S00.O00 shares. It Is the usual rule that a large portion of a day's business on the exchange- Is. done during the first hour, but had the acltvlty of the market for the rest of the day continued in nor mal proportion to the first hour's busi ness the total for the day would have reached probably 4.000,000 shares, which would mean commissions to stock ex change members for the day's business of $1,000,000. Such statistics1 as these convey the truest Idea of the dimensions and scope of the present market. Any at tempt at description would resolve Itself largely Into an accumulation of superla tives. There were long strings of suc cessive transactions in some of the most active stocks today. In which none of the sales reported were of less than 100 shares, and running from that up to 10 000 shares. If any ordinary considerations could be the rule in such a market, the fact that the stocks were notably strong yesterday and were today sold in enormous volume to take profits, would have had great In fluence. The sharp break at many points In the closing dealings would have been another factor making for hesitation, but these usual symptoms of a coming reac tion have been so often without the slightest effect in the recent extraordinary market that they were totally ignored by the excited speculators, as many other Incidents have been, such as the engage- I me II IS OI gum lor fApuil unit uui-aaiuuai hardening of the money market. The presence In great force of a widespread public Interest in the market must ex plain this ignoring of usual technical In dications. The great accumulations of wealth which have come to the hands of the American people for several years past and which have lain In deposit banks waiting for opportunity for outlay seemed to be pouring Into Wall street, attracted by the sudden great fortunes which are being made from day to day In the great price movement of different .stocks. The large inflow of money from the Interior of New York seems to be. due to this tendency, "and Is keeping the money market easy in spite of the de mand from other sources. There is very little in the way of specific news accom panying the movement of prices. The announcement this morning of the ab sorption of the Leyland steamship line by J. P. Morgan had a tendency to give a re newed stimulus to the speculation, as In dicating the continued activity of the most Influential individual In the recent great movements toward consolidation. The belief in wholesale consolidation of great railroad systems, even at the enor mous expense Involved in the buying of control In the open market, Is the potent factor In the general speculation. The enthusiastic believers In an Indefinite rise In prices argue that a market turn-over within a few days of as many shares of a corporation as the whole outstanding capital necessarily Indicates a movement to buy control, but It Is certainly obvi ous that a turn-over of that amount of stock where the actual control does not pass is proof positive of an enormous amount of purely speculative buying. It may be due to buying and selling and then rebuylng many times over of spec ulative holdings", or It may be due to per sistent short selling on every advance and then buying to cover as the further advance Imperils the position of the bears. That purely speculative .transactions formed a-Jarge factor. In the day's mar ket's is .probably not seriously doubted. An analysis In detail of today's market would be futile, so great Is its extent and variety and in the later dealfngs Its ir regularity. Northern Pacific' was under pressure of. profit-taking all day, and Union Pacific a'nd the grangers generally showed Its influence as the day pro gressed. The Atchlsons we're the new strong feature, on talk of an Increase In the dividend. The advance .In New .York Central brought speculative attention back to the Eastern railroads, but their gains did not hold well. The United States Steel stocks were comparatively well maintained, closing with net gains of 2& for the common and 2 for the pre ferred, at reactions 1 and respectively from the best prices. The heavy profit taking at the last made the closing irreg ular. Business was not as large rlatelvly In bonds, and the price movement was Ir regular. Total sales, par value, $6,245,000.

Frosta Will Make Strawberries Late This Season. ' Summarizing crop conditions In Oregon last week, the crop bulletin of the Weather Bureau says: "The first part of the week was cool, with several frosty mornings. A change to warmer occurred Saturday, and since then mild temperatures have prevailed in all parts of the State. Light showers have. frequently occurred In Western and Southern, Oregon. ,and Sunday and Mon day were showery days In Eastern1 Oregon, with the Indications favorable for more rain Tuesday in that section. The max imum, or day, temperatures InV(esJern Oregon ranged -'between'1' 59 degrees and 66 degrees', andt,the minimum, or .'night, temperatures between 32 degrees' and 48 degrees'. ji Eastern Oregpn the day tem pera tutf'eV ranged 'between 4S degrees and 68 degrees.-.and the jilght'temperatures be tween 30 degrees and 54 degrees. "Fall, wheat, rye and oats are doing nicely, although' on account of the cool weather they are making a slow growth. Spring wheat seeding Is nearly finished and the grain Is germinating well. The color of the grain Is Improving every day, and no insect pests are damaging It. "Hops are coming up even, and there Is no complaint about missing hills, as was the case last year. The training of the vines Is beginning to be general. "A great deal of Summer fallowing has been done. In the Eastern part of the State, and the soil yet tills well, although more rain would be beneficial. '"Potato planting is now general and corn planting has begun in the Southern portion of the State. "Gardens continue backward, but other wise they are in promising condition. "Clover and alfalfa are growing nicely, but there ls-a-shortage and pasturage and stock Is not Improving as fast as usual. In the dairy sections of the State considerable feeding-has to be done to avpld a shrinkage In supply of milk. "Reports of damage to the fruit crops by frost aTe numerous, but not general. Considerable strawberry bloom has been killed in Southern Oregon and in the Hood River -Valley. This damage will not mate rially reduce yields, but will make the marketing of the crop a -week or two later than usual. Besides the-'fitrawberrles, peachesr apricots; pears, silver prunes and cherries have suffered the most from frosta, The Italian or Fellenberg prunes are nearly through blooming, and the young fruit has set well and gives prom ise of abundant yields. Apples In most places are now In full bloom and as yet they have suffered no harm from frosts." TO DEVELOP INLAND EMPIRE Plan for Federation of Commercial Organizations. Lewlston Tribune. ' In an Interview with the Tribune yes.ter aay. President v LIbby, of the. Lewlston Commercial 'Club, explained Jils plan for a federation of the chambers of commerce ,and 'commercial clubs of the Inland Em pire, suggested at a recent meeting of the governing board of the Lewlston Club Mr. Llbby said: ' " . "The object of such a federation would be to secure united and 'therefore more Influential action in favor of any move ment for the general good that might be decided upon. It Is self-eYldent that a STOCK BROKERS Chamber of Commerce United, vigorous combination of the busi ness Interests, of a dozen cities would have great and possibly, at tlphes. decisive in- nuence upon legislation in tne state ana National parliaments, and likewise In ne gotiations with the 'railroad and other public corporations". On 'the other hand. If the Representatives, and .Government and corporation officials pould consult, ne gotiate and receive authoritative Inform motion concerning broad and large pub-1 He needs, their own work In and for this district should be more effective asd more rapid In consummation. p "Among the things of common gdod which could be most benefited by such co-operation would be, for example: ' "(1) The movement for the opening of the rivers to navigation with Its numer ous, varied .and constant efforts and" meth ods necessary to be employed In So great an undertaking. "(2) Presentation of the numberless op portunities and Varied resources of the Inland Empire as a whole, to the people of the Middle and Eastern states. No lo cality is satisfactory to all or even a large proportion of the homeseekers "and In vestors in farming, live stock, orcharding, manufacturing, lumbering and mining. Yet the various sections taken together offer every'klnd and variety of Industry, business and pursuit that men of the temperate zone know and want to engage lrr. A booklet presenting the merit's of all parts under one cover, duly classified, would save great expense to 'all parties and Insure direction and deflnlteness to the 'efforts of -the home and Investment seekers, both before and after arrival up on the ground. "(3) Promotion and direction of the im migration movement. Notice the great good of co-operation In this work" during the "past 60 days, though begun after the movement, had started. This experience has taught us how to do much better in future. "(4) Negotiations with the railroads for Improved transportation facilities. I have always found the railroad officials to"- be Interested In discussion for such Improvements, and favorable to action when proposed changes were conclusively shown to be for the actual benefit of the districts served. United action by a large and Influential section of the comnfunlty has moreover, a most persuasive effect upon any high official possessed of big enough brain to fill his position. "(5) Government surveys. Investigations and reports upon the resources of the country, and ,so on."
