California produce generally Is arriv ing In lighter volume as the eeason progresses. The hop market is steady with favorable Indi cations. "Wool Is quiet yet. but firmly quoted. "WHEAT "With the approach of -the end of the cereal year, business Is at a low ebb In the Northwestern wheat markets. The few growers who are holding their wheat do not aonear anxious to sell and shippers, as a rule, are not pressing business. . few small trans actons aie reported, but they are mainly between -warehouse men and exporters. Three grain ships are in port loadlnc and one large wheat cargo has Just been cleared. Thirty-eight vessels available for grain load ing, with a carrying capacity of over 100,000 bushels, aro en route to this port. Of the Eu ropean wheat markets, J. W. Rush, of London, writes In the Northwestern Miller of May 6.: "Wheat markets generally maintain a firm attitude In Europe. Hardy as the wheat plant proverbially Is. the -weather of the last fort night must have tried It severely In France, Germany and Austria-Hungary, reports from all of which countries, may best be described as doubtful and contradictory. From Spain and Portugal we' are now told that the wheat crop has suffered severely from drouth but from Italy the reports are so far favorable. From Itoumanla we have good reports, bene ficial rains having fallen and In South Rus sia the recent -weather conditions have been decidedly more favorable. Over largo por tion of Russia it Is to be feared that much ir remediable damage has been done by the earlier froste without a sufficient covering of enow. It is perhaps a far cry to harvest, but I should not be surprised to find that this season, as in some previous ones, an excellent "Winter wheat crop in America, counterbalanced by a poor European crop. This at any rte is the Impression which is gaining ground, and added to the probability that the requirements of Europe for the next four months will "not be very easy to fill, -makes the trade regard the future with more friendliness than might ha-e been expected. The position In France Is perhaps the one of most Immediate importance. Prices there have recently risen to an importing point and large purchases have already been made for May-June delivery, thus Indicating an Imme diate need of foreign wheat apart from the poor prospects of the growing crop. "With re gard to the latter It will be a matter of com mon knowledge that the ordinary area under this crop Ts about 17,000.000 acres, of which less than 1,000.000 acres is Spring sown. This season It lo obvious that a large proportion of the Autumn sown wheat has had to be re plowed. "What that proportion Is remains to be fcecn. but one of the Paris Journals believes that it will represent 25 per cent of the total under wheat this year, which would mean about 4,000,000 acres. This seems to me to be an exaggerated estimate, but If It be at all approximately correct the matter becomesthe more serious because Spring sown wheat In France is always more or less a precarious crop, and th weather of the last fortnight has rendered It almost impossible tor the crop to succeed this year. The Immediate fu ture therefore Is full of possibilities for If France begins to buy again freely, nothing can stoa a smart cd-ance. as the weekly consumption in France Is 730.000 to 800.000 quarters and stocks" on hand aro decidedly imall As for the United Kingdom, our supplies during the next four months promise, as I have already said, to be below our require ments, which is a very unusual condition for this period. In the first place there will be about 1.750.000 quarters of white wheat miss ing In the next four months, compared with the actual receipts last year; and In the sec ond place America and Canada show no signs of belnr able to supply the deficiency thus caused. Russia might be able to do eo but not J cur probable supplies from April 1 to July CI compared with the actual receipts In the tame period of the two previous years, is as fs'.lows: V.

The demand continues even and the supply is sufficient. The foreign situation pre sents no change. In the Orient, the only in quiry at present comes from Japan. There has been some demand for flour from South Af rica, but no business resulted. A part canto was sold to the United Kingdom, but that was the extent of the business with that quar ter. Feed prices have advanced $1 per ton since the last review. This upward' movement was due to the short local supply In the face of the strong demand and also to the higher San FrancUco prices. The market for oats Is also stronger, though not yet quotably higher. "With the Govern ment inquiry for a large order, values are ex pected to advance. Barley continues weak with no redeeming feature In the situation. Hay is scarce and strong and quoted about $1 higher. HOPS In tho trade, the market is quoted steady with less business doing than last week. There Is villi some inquiry from the East and growers as a rule aro holding for not less han 20 cents. The Impression Is general among producers that the market will not go lower. In the month of March the number of barrels of beer on which a stamp tax was paid was 3,51 C5S0 barrels, against 3.557,009 barrels same month "last year and 2,693,570 barrels in March. 1001. The total for 1603 to Aoril 1 Is 9.160.S39 barrels, against S.666.4S8 to April 3. 1902. and 7.573.974 to April 1. 1901. New Tork advices of May 9 reported conditions In that market as follows: Local dealers (coatlnued to report an Indif ferent demand and to force sales lower prices "wuld have had to have been accepted. Stocks, however, were not' larse "and "there Was -no pressure to move supplies. Telegraphic advices were received from the Coast reportng firmer markets, due. It was understood, to the ap pearance of London "in tfcr market as a buyer.- In Oregon growers were reported lndifjerent sellers at 20o and' In Sonoma sellers held for 19 cents. Cable advices received from London reporting a firm "market Oregon hops were xj noted in New Tork on that date: choice, 2U4S22c per pound: rne c'lum to prime. 1021c per pound; ordinary, 1819c per pound; 1901. 15017 per pound; olds. 6510a per pound, ... "WOOL The wool market 'Is slow about open ing. Portland and. Eastern buyers are In tho field, but up to the present have done no busi ness of Importance. Some preliminary spar ring is under way between growers and buy ers, hut so far they have failed to reach a com mon basis. The tone of the market Is firm and prices realized will probably be a shade firmer than those last year. J. H. Dobbin, secretary of the "Wallowa "Wbolgrowers' Association, is authority for the statement that there are at least 225,000 and possibly 250,000 head of sheep In "Wallowa County and that this season's wool clip, which begins May 20, will possibly reach 1.750.00b pourds. At the present price of 15 cents a pound, this would mean $262,000 for this sea son's clip. Ko estimates that possibly 73.000 sheep will be sold at a conservative average of J2.50 a head, or $187,500. The wool clip of Linn County IS generally reported up to the standard In quality. About 200.000 pounds of wool will be brought Into Albany this year, according- to the estimate of M. Senders, a woolbuyer of that city. This is about the same amount that was marketed last year. A great many more sheep were raised In Linn County this year than last, but It was a poor "Winter for wool, and while an average of eight pounds was secured from each sheep last year, only four or five pounds will be clipped this year. The American "Wool and Cotton Reporter of May 7 Eays: Oregon wools are quiet, with good average Eastern staple not quotable at over 166 cents. Of California woqls there are scarcely any here and no business worth .yeerring to has been done. Prices are nominally unchanged. A larga line of Idaho wool about 1.200.000 pounds has been cleaned out, as well as a few large line of Montana, which holders had become tired of carrying and were willing to let go at concessions from previous asking prices. There have also been liberal sales of low wools principally foreign stock, such as cngllsh and Irish, New Zealand crossbred!, Canada combing and South Americans, the average clean cost of this class of stuff being 34g2G cents. Tne Reporter quotes Oregon wools at Eastern seaboard markets as follows: Eastern staple, 1610c per pound; Eastern Oregon choce, clothln?, 14215c; Eastern Oregon average, 13Q 14c; Eastern Oregon heavy. 1213c; Valley Oregon No. 1. 19g20c; Valley Oregon No. 2, 19020c; Valley Oregon No. 3 1819c; Valley Oregon, lambs. 10317c COUNTRY PRODUCE Eggs are again the center of attention in the produce market. For tome unexplained reason, receipts have sudden ly swelled to large proportions. Two Front street houses yesterday received no less than 75 cases each and every dealer on the street has more than he wants. Up to the present time no shading has keen done under 10 cents, but quotations cannot be maintained, If re ceipts continue heavy- There is no shipping Inquiry, as Portland is about tho highest mar ket in the Northwest. Butter Is moving fairly well in spite of large receipts and tho market has a firm tone. There Is some Inquiry from California buyers. Poultry has done well In the past week, a steady Inquiry taking up offerings at good prices. FRUITS AND VEGETABLES Strawberries are beginning to monopolize attention In the fruit market. Receipts of Oregon berries are slowly Increasing and the market has usually had a good supply of the California fruit. Yes terday, however, receipts were small, owing to the inability of tho railroad company to furnish a car. This skipping of a day, while It worked a hardship upon the Florin ship pers, enabled the trade here' to clean up. Orangts are in limited supply and are quoted firm. The eeason for navels Is about over. Mediterranean sweets and seedlings taking their place. A car cf fine sweets came through yesterday. Bananas are again fairly plentiful. Apples are also In sufficient supply. In green stuff. Northern grown vegetables are gradually taking jthe place of California products and a seasonable decline In prices follows. Onions and potatoes are dull nd inclined to weakness. GROCERIES, MEATS. ETC. Nothing of a startling nature has occurred In the grocery market for several weeks. Prices aro running along remarkably even and there Is nothing new In Bight Indicating a change in tho imme diate future, unless it Is the decision in the salt trust case at San Francisco. Bayou beans are up cent on crop shortage reports. In meats, beef has advanced and mutton and pork have declined. Hog products aro as last quoted. PORTLAND MARKETS.

The cotton market opened firm -at an advance of 4327 points closed firm-and very excited at a net gain of 10340 poliitB. v Great excitement pervaded the market this rnorntnr as a result of the sensational ad vance in Liverpool, which came about 10 to 10 points higher than had hmn Trwtn tv. local market started 18 to 27 points higher on the near months, and 4 to 14 points on the laxe montns, under a rush of shorts to cover. The decline of yesterday had attracted mIm and theso sellers bought actively this morning. Ddrlnc the first few minutes prices were advanced a grille further on some positions, but were alznost Immediately weakened h a wave of selling for profits. This selling was encouraged by the indifference of New Or leans, favorable weather and fair receipts. The advance at Liverpool was attributed by cables to demand In the absence of selling, and the strength cf the spot situation. It was also thought that the operations of the local nun clique had been transferred to that mar kct. Noon found prices 23 to 30 oolnts un on H near months, and 3 to 9 points on the late po sitions, tnis beinc the top for the morning, the season and for a dozen -rears with n .in. gle exception.

May 13. The selling which caused this morning's decline In stocks had the appearance of a spilling out of long- stock. There was no new development In the situa tion today to Induce this selling, which was probably due to a carried-over Influence Irora yesterday's events. Authoritative denials of yesterday's report of a deep cut in the price of steel billets at Pittsburg by a leading Interest did not put an immediate stop to the selling of the United States Steel stocks and those of the' Independent companies. Discussion of the Iron trade outlook was a leading feature of the day's speculative situation. The professional stock operators are not notable for deep Infor mation on technical topics, but they paid much attention to dlscussiom of the Iron trade, which were put out In some cases with the purpose of reassuring sentiment. These discussions mostly took the form of deprecia tion of any talk of discouragement because of tho declining tendency In the price of pig Iron, alleging that the higher level recently prevailing was really artificial and for special deliveries or other reasons. The course of prices of stocks indicates that speculative Kuuueai at jiol enureiy rcassurea oy, ine tone of these trade report In face of the con crete facts of a stagnant demand for pig iron. The threatened strike on the Great North era Railroad system and the fear that a con test onoe Inaugurated might spread In the railroad world was a depressing factor on the whole market. The special early weakness of the trunk lines showed that the Influence of yesterday's reduction In grain rates from Chi cago to New York was still an Influence. Bal timore & Ohio did not share In the heaviness of this group and In the market's later rally It was marked up a point above last nlxht. The turbulent speculation In the cotton mar ket and the Illinois State Agricultural Bu reau's unfavorable crop report continued to exercise some depresssing Influence. More at tention was paid also to the notable delay In the planting of the corn crop. The prospect of adltlonal gold exports over hung the market and the perception that the day would pass without engagements being made for shipment was a material factor In rallying the market late In the day. The con ditions In international 'exchange were appar ently the same today as when the engagement was made on Monday for export. But there was a material relaxation today in the London money market, due to tho progress of the al lotment of the Transvaal loan, which re leases large sums to the market which were tied up by the 3 per cent required In making application for the loan. If this shall put an end to the outward movement of gold from New York for "the present, the result may be of Importance on the financial situation. The recovery in the market was effected on a. much smaller volume of dealings than was tho decline, but It was impeded by the selling of Rock Island, which was persistent In face of the late firmness of the general market. The close was heavy and almost lifeless. The bond market again showed great va riety with a movement In some Issues which have been dormant for a long time. The price changes, however, were sR.Hl Irregular. Total sales, par value, $2,445,000. United States bonds were all unchanged on the last call. Closing Stock List. STOCKS.
