THE MORNING OKEGONIAN, TUESDAY, MAY 19, 1903. 15 BEST IN THE LAND Oregon Strawberries for the President's Table. supply fb'om Hood river Local Market Glutted With Califor nia Fruit Crop Prospects In Idaho Apples In London Lo cal Produce Quotations. President Roosevelt will know all about Oregon strawberries -when he leaves this coun try. The Davidson Fruit Company, ol Hood Elver, has made preparations to supply his party with the famous product of that dis trict during the tour of the Northwest. The first lot will be received' here Thursday for the President's dinner that day; and his table will be supplied bj- the Hood River Company when he stops at the Sound cities, Spokane, Butte and until he leaves Sait Lake. The Arts shipment of Hood River berries to reach Portland, .this season came In yesterday. There 'was only one crate, but they were far uperlor to anything seen yet. They sold at B5 cents a pound, against 12i15 cents, the ruling quotation for Southern Oregon fruit. Front street was glutted yeeterday with Cal ifornia strawberries, -Receipts were no larger than usual only one carload but the inquiry had fallen off as the local trade stocked up heavily Saturday. The result was a rapid decline in prices and before the day closed berries were offering at 50000 cents per crate. Hop Outlook In Marlon. WOODBURN. Or., May 18. (Special.) Hop growers are much alarmed at the present extremely unfavorable outlook for the grow ing crop. Thomas Colllnson's yard of 20 acres Is practically barren and at present does not promise to yield sufficient to warrant further cultivation, though heretofore one of the best producers In the county. William Scollard'e yard, with numerous others In - this section, are hardly worth the expense of training and cultivation. Growers insist that present pros pects are far lets than one-half the yield of 1002. It Is asserted that worms are at work at the roots of the vine. Throughout this sec tion of Marion all yards are coming on un even and the outlook is certainly bad. Clackamas Prune Prospects. OREGON CITY. Or.. May 18. (Special.) County Clerk F. A. Sleight visited his farm near Canby Station and reports prospects very bright for a prolific prune crop. Mr. Sleight has a 17-acre prune orchard in the Canby neighborhood, where there are over 200 acres of thl3 fruit. He brought with him a small' branch from one of his Italian trees that is loaded with fruit. Prunegrowers fear the consequence if the present backward, cold, rainy weather continues for any length of time for it is damaging to the growing crop. Or chardlets say this weather Interrupts the flow of sap In the trees and arrests the develop ment of the fruit, which never attains its proper growth. Extensive damage resulted to the prune crop two years ago in this eectlon from this very cause. Idaho's Frnlt Prospects. The climate and crop report for the State of Idaho read in part as follows: The frosts of April 29 to May 2 resulted In. some damage to all varieties of fruit in western localities; however, as the trees were extremely full of bloom. It Is believed that In jngst . Instances, enough bloom escaped injury to produce a good crop. Notwithstanding the low tempera ture during most of the week, fruit made rapid progress; In Southwestern Idaho, apple and prune trees are in full bloom, while early fruits are well set. In other parts of the state, fruit buds are opening rapidly. Cuban Pineapples. The largest and finest crop of pineapples which Cuba has ever produced Is now being gathered and shipped to New York, Mobile and New Orleans. The crop will probably reach 600.000 crates of about 30 pines each; they go as far west as Salt Lake and East and North through Canada and the United States. In fact with such good facilities for trans portation they are found in all places of any importance, and during the shipping season from April to July give employment to a great number of people, steamers and rail roads. London Apple Market. Apples from Victoria, Australia, are Just now considered the best fruit of the kind on the London market, some of the dessert va rieties being pronounced very fine. Tasmanlans are not consiacrea very nne. PORTLAND MARKETS. Grain, Flour. Feed, Etc. The wheat market has opened quiet with out any better prospects for activity this week than for many weeks past.

This was another exciting day on the Cotton Exchange In fact, the scenes far surpassed those witnessed last week. It started at Liverpool because trading there began five hours earlier than In New York and a rlre of 32 points In the price of spot cotton in that market and of 36 to 40 points in futures did not need any extensively cabled remarks to show what was haspenln; there. It wat, however, stated that the fol lowers of the New Orleans bull clique- haJ flooded the market earlier in the day with buying orders, and their appearance was enough to excite the shorts and cause them to scramble to cover. All records for the present movement were broken. May sold as high at 11.68c and July up to 11.26c While transactions In the New York market did not aggregate as large a total as the record day of last week, the market today holds the season's record In point of advance. During the Kf ternoon. May sold at 11.0Sc. an advance of 53 points. July sold at 11.26, an advance of 55 points and Ausust sold at 10.90c an advance of 43 points. A feature of the af ternoon was the purchase of a large line of short cotton in July during which the entire market became very excited with prices advanc ing rapidly. One broker had an order to cover 200 bales of May cotton. Price was 11.55c and he started In to get the 200 bales at the best figure possible. He bid ll.SSc. I1.60c 11.62c ll.3c and finally 11.6Sc before any cotton was forthcoming. Soon after a broker had 300 bales of May to sell and he sold the market down to 11.60c before disposing of the cotton. Not until July touched llc was there anything like a rcac tlon and at that, heavy selling orders ap peared that soon brought a reaction of 10 points in the afternoon. May closed at 11.55c. July eased off to 11.17c and August closed at 10.86c The market at v the close was steady. however, and 10g4 points higher for the day The advance In" futures was accompanied by an advance to ll.bic lor -spot.

Cotton Specalatlon Making .Demands on the Money Market Nearly All Stocks Close Lower. NEW YORK. May 18. There was a very considerable liquidation In the stock mar ket today. The 'selling seemed induced by crystallization of sentiment which has been approaching definite formation for some time, but has been deferring action In the stock market in the hope of a. recovery. There was no development to "cause the decline except th engagement of $2,232,000 of gold for ex port to Eurcpe. This bad been quite defi nitely extended and the amount was rather less than some of the forecasts. There was a slight hardening in the call loan rate In re sponse to the gold movement, but It could not be said that any liquidation was forced by the withdrawal of credits. The result of the consideration over Sunday of the general financial outlook seemed to be rather the placing of stop lofs orders as a precautionary measure below the market than definite orders to sell. The opening of tne market was in fact Irregular and a slight in cline was followed by a. considerable rally. This rally persisted after the first knowledge of the engagement of gold for export- But the report that $200,000 had been deposited at the eubtreasury for telegraphic transfer to New Orleans was followed almost Immediately by crumbling of prices throughout the list. This evidence that the violent cotton speculation Is making demands upon the money market was taken in very ill part by the stock mar ket. It Is probable that the decline in prices was Immediately due to professional attacks by the bears, but the existence of stop loss or ders below the market made prices very ulnerable. The usual result of a consider able decline Is now seen In the Increased dis position to sell merely because prices have de clined. Stocks which have now got lower than in last month's decline on account of the Northern Securities decision are conspicuous sufferers In the present selling. This is seen in the rase of St. Paul, New York Central and Southern Pacific especially. "Vhen prices show resistance at the same level on a relaoso after a recovery. It Is the speculative theory that effective support has been determined on at that point- When the price goes lower on the second decline, it is customary for profes sional operators to aell It on the theory that the final resting place for the price is indefi nite. Quite a number of additional stocks to day broke through the previous low level for the year, made last month, and this fact had a strong Influence on bearish sentiment. The day's export of gold and the continued firmness of foreign exchange- are a demon stration that the allotment of the Transvaal loan In -London Is not to relieve the pressure for gold abroad as was hoped. The London market Itself Is taking account of the future periodical requirement for the payment oflhe monthly Installments on the subscriptions to the loan. The fact that a large portion of the proceeds of the loan is payable to Continental holders of the South African railroads, which are being" purchased by the colonies, makes a prospective pressure upon London for re mittance to Continental points. The outgo of gold from here Is in payment of horrowlncs and is for an insurance against future pres sure. But when these borrowings were made, it was hoped that the outward movement of merchandise would supply exchange for their repayment without the ut of gold. With the large requirements ahead of the domestic money markets, there Is an uneasiness mani fest whether the outgoing gold will be re callable to this" market when It Is needed. .Nearly nil of the active stocks fell between 1 and 2 points and St. Paul. New York Cen tral. Missouri Pacific. Rock Island and Read ing exceeded that. Amongst dormant stocks. there were even wider declines. Amalgamated Copper was strong as the effect -of the In crease in the dividend rate on the Calumet Sc Hecla stock. The market closed easy and within a small fraction of the lowest.

NEW YORK, May IS. That rays of light emanating- from the human body are visible to the eyes of some lower ani mals forms the Interesting scientific dis covery announced as having been made by accident by Professor A. w. Good- speed, of the Randal Morgan Laboratory of Physics of the university of Pennsyl vania. Divested of Its technical terms the discovery of Professor Goodspeed meand that the Tays of light shed from a living human body may have sufficient Inten sity, although Invisible to the human eye, to produce a picture on a plate properly sensitized and in a room pitch dark. The discovery was made while X-ray photographs were being taken. While an lrpn tripod stand with a ring-shaped top as a support for a photogrophlc plate was being used. It was observed that the plate when exposed to the rays was affected by the Iron ring below. Puzzled at this seeming departure from the rules, the operator attempted to discover the cause. In so doing, one of his assistants placed his hand below the plate. The result was an Imperfect radiogram of the bones of the human hand, like those obtained from the Roentgen rays when experimentation In that line was In Its first stages. . It was. so entirely new that Professor Goodepeed was perplexed. He tried again and again. Every time a human hand was placed within the proper focus the same amazing phenomenon followed. The experiments were continued for three months and the conclusion of Professor Goodspeed was not announced until he had-satisfied himself beyond all question or tne correctness of his results.
