THE OBIOTTESf SA-TCrKDiY, JTTLY 22, 1905. 15. FRUIT TRADE HEM Jobbers Are Taxed to Fill Their Orders. FIRST OREGON MELONS IN Higher Prices Are Predicted for Xicmons Falling Off in Demand for Eggs Wheat Trade Is Limited. FRUIT First Oregon cantaloupes ar rive from The Dalles. Peaches and plums In oversupply. VEGETABLES Scarcity or ripe to matoes. EGGS Lighter demand causes weaker market. POULTRT Firm prices still prevail. WHEAT Limited trading In new crop grain. MEATS Veal receipts "light and mar ket flrmt The fruit market wad very lively yerterday under a decidedly strong demand. Supplies of every variety were large. The first Oregon nutmeg melons of the ea.on eoM for $3.50 a crate. Only one crate was received, hav ing been shipped In by John Kllndt, a grower of The Dalles, who makes a spcolalty of early fruits and vegetables. The .fruit was of good bIzo and well matured. California cantaloupes were In adequate eupply. A car Is duo from Exeter Monday. About 20 cars of watermelons were on the track yesterday. As receipts will be lighter In the future, the market can be raid to be Improved. The Southern growers have reached an agreement to sell All their melons f, o, b. Fresno In the future, which will be a good thing for all concerned. The California mel ons this eearon have not been up to the ueual standard of quality, and though an Im mense number have been sold here, they have not given satisfaction. "When Oregon melons begin coming In there will be a differ ent tale to tell. An Immense quantity of peaches was on the market. While fancy Crawford were fcarce and bringing DO cents, there was an abund ance of poor yellows that could be had for 70 and 75 cents. Small-sired Alexanders from Southern Oregon were also numerous, and were offering at 50 cent. The car of Bart lett pears brought up were- green, but the trade took hold of them willingly, as they ripen well In the open air. Some nectarines were received from Corning, Cal., and were quoted at $1 a box. Peach plums are etlll a drug on the market and cell at buyers prices. Of the three cars of bananas received Thurs day night, only one was ripe, and the de mand was eo strong that It was sold yester day forenoon. The others will oome on the market gradually. A car of fmcy oranges and lemons arrived during the day. The lemen market Is strong and higher prices are pre dicted EGG DEMAND SMALLER, Front Street Quotations- Lowered Another Notch. The Front-street egg' market was quoted at 21H22 cents. These were the prices put out by commission- men and produce jobbers. Some of the wholesale grocers quoted 23 cents. Eastern eggs and storage slock were held at 20Q21 cents. Some of the houses re ported liberal receipts f ranch eggs, but others were poorly supplied. There was not much firmness to the market, as the demand has fallen off considerably since the hot weather began. There Is much complaint of the quality of the eggs now arriving from the country. A can of Eastern eggs will be In In a day or two, probably the last of the season. SAY WHEAT IS TOO HIGH. Dealers Declare Prices Now Quoted Arc Excessive. Some business Is being done In new wheat up the country, but the extent of the trade !s limited. Dealers yesterday made quota' Hons of 7172 cents on club and 75gf76 cents on Valley. These opening figures, It Is stated by wheat men. are fully 2 cents above the Eastern market, based en yesterday's bulge at Chicago, end are 2 or mere cents over export values. They are naturally anxious to see prices here down to a barfs on which outside business can be worked up. Poultry Mnrket Still Firm. The poultry market held firm yesterday. as It has all the week. Chickens were In par ticular demand, and rome dealers had more orders than they ceuld fill. Old hens ranged In price from 13 to 14 cents, and Springs from 16&17 cents. Turkeys were In strong demand, but few came forward. Full-grown geese were also asked for. but there was little sale for old ones. A limited demand was also apparent for young ducks of good size. Light Receipts of YeaL The veal market continued firm yesterday, and more stock might have been disposed of, but receipts were light. Pork was quiet un der a slow demand, and light arrivals. A quantity of bull beef, an article for which there Is absolutely so Inquiry on Front street, was received In the morning, and brought only 4 cent a pound. Ripe Tomatoes Scarce Ripe tomatoes were scarce yesterday, but there was any quantity of green and over ripe etock on the street. Out-door cucumbers were In large supply and elow sale at lower prices, dealers asking 05 075c a box. Other green truck was unchanged. A car of Walla Walla yellow onions will come In today.

SOc APATHY OF STOCK MARKET PRICES REFUSE TO MOVE DIVIDEND REPORTS. OX Desired Buying Evidently Accom plished Before Action Was Taken Closing Tone Easy. NEW TORK. July 23. The extreme apathy of today's ctock market served to eliminate another of the explanations which have been advanced from time to tlmo to account for the lethargic rut Into "which the trading has fallen. It was supposed that the market was waiting for definite sews of dividends' which were confidently expected to be increased. The most Important of these were Union Pacific and Amalgamated Copper, but the market showed as little stimulation from those causes today as when they, wers announced 'yester day. The explanation of this seeing lsdlf feresce of course 1 that the declred buying was accomplished before, the dividend actios was actually announced. Where the move ment .of prices attained any Important dl mensloo was is the list of usually Inactive specialties, uuisics sews was o: I IT lie ef fect.

PORTLAND. July 21. (To the Editor.) I have read with 1st treat the editorial la Thursday's Oregoslan under the caption. Foreign Missions," but regret that It does sot put the case quite fairly, at least from the missionary viewpoint- The writer la "The Open Court" merely repeats a mis statement which had grown 'stale 40 years ago. To say that' the converts la India "lose their old religion without really gaining new Is simply to set facts at defiance. As a com munity the native Christians la North In dia have made as satisfactory progress as any Christians in the world: Forty-ulx years ago female education was unknown. No med ical relief could be extended to women of the higher classes, asd the people were Inflex ibly opposed to schools for girls. But two missionary ladles sailed for India on the eame ship In 1S70, one to Introduce medical relief to Indian women, and the other to lay the foundations of the first college for women ever established, on Asiatic soil. The result is that wemea are admitted to government medical colleges, while the daughters of na tive Christians are successfully competing with young men for university honors V And this happens In a region where Intelligent men used to tell me that women had so -brains I The native Christians, of North India at least, have gained everything by becoming Christians and they know It well. With regard to a million converts anssally, my statement so doubt seemed a little wild, but ervea it this rate of progress could he secured. It would require 300 years to make all India Christian: And then, what of China? I was speaking to Christians and I wished them to widen their vision aad correctly es timate the problem before them. All Asia la beginning to feel the thrill of new move ments. In feeling. Japan Is half Christian sow. Fifty million Hindus are persuaded that Christ will become the Lord aad master of the race, asd only hope that the change may sot come la their day. A comsios Asiatic bond la, for the first time la history, begin ning to make itself felt. When the present war began, 50,000 people, reprcaestlng four religions, gathered Is a Calcutta park to pray for Japas. Such a spectacle was full of mean ing. The Eastern world Is astir. Ours will yet beccme a Christian world, and if it does, the time must come literally when ndt a million persons, but "a nation shall be born Is a day." But If this kind of talk seems like sheer extravagance to asy reader, let It pass aa such, asd let modem missions stand oa their merits as elevating asd civilizing agencies. They have thus far made a soble record, asd their usefulness seems to be expanding constantly and rapidly. J. M. THOBURN. Cashed Worthless Checks. VATiK; Or., July 21. (Special.) Deputy Sheriff C E.
