Bl'TTER Firm but not expected to advance this week. EGGS Market weak and dragging. POULTRY Large receipts move off well. With only about 800 bales of fcops left un sold In this state, the market has taken on a decidedly firmer tone. Some epeoulatorp lately have been tolling out at JS cents, but grower generally are holding firm far 20 cent?, though many of them will not consider even this figure. The bears are becoming nervous, and some cf them are on the point of covering. It Is understood that -a leading bear dealer In Washington has been covering his eales quiet ly during the past week. Although they are backward about confessing It. men In the trade who early In the season predicted L'op c? 115,000 or 120,000 bates some even Pent as high as 135,000 have materially re- rdueed their estimates, and few now talk of a crop exceeding 100.000 bales. Growers es timates are much below this, and some con tservatlvc hopmen believe the crop of the state will not exceed 80.000 bales. The latest Southern Paclfl6 figures give the 11)04 crop of Oregon at S3. 030 bales. A private dispatch received from California, yesterday said the yield of that state would be between 40,000 and 43,000 bales, from which It looks as If the entire Coast crop would not exeeed 176.000 bales this year. A number of telegrams were receded from New York yesterday on crop conditions and prospcts lh that state. One elves- John Crors' estimate of the New York crop a one-fourth short of all former estimates, ow. Ing to a bad flre blight during the past week. Mr, Cross Is well known all over New York State, having been connected with the firm of S & F. Vllman. of New York City, for 25 years or more. Mr. Cross lli'es In Oneida Counts A dealer In Madison County tele. graphs that, owing to the flre Might, the crop will not be over one-half ofla.it year's. A wire from Cooperstown, Otsego County. says the crop will be one-third of that of last year. A report from Schoharie estimates the New York crop from one-third to one' half, while a wire from Franklin County says the crop will be one-third short of 1904 It Is these conditions prevailing In New York State, together with reports from thin Coast, that hart caused the firmness noted In the New York market In the past ten days. A number of transactie-ns -"have taken place In this market In the last few days, and the prices1 paid show that the holders have re fused to make any concessions. The largest sale reported was a lot of 107 bales, disposed of by T. A. Rlggs to Catlln & Linn at 18 cents. Rlggs also sold- 12 bales to "William Brown, and SO bales to a Tacoma dealer at the same figure, and now has but 66 bales of hie origin 1 stock left. Rincus Sr. Lachmund bought 56 bales of John Carmlchael at 17 cents, 12 bales of Mrs. Massey and 1C bales of i ger. of Fairfield. Seavey -& Metzler pure red two lots at 17 cents, f3 bales be longing to Inman of Buttevllle. and 20 bales from Struve, of the same place. There were some Inquiries In from the East yesterday for 1005 contracts at 15 cent?, but little can be done In this line In Oregon, as growers will not contract under the present ehort crop conditions in Oregon, California .and New Ycrk State. FIRM BUTTER MARKET. But o Further Advance Are Expected This Week Eggs Arc Easy. The butter market continues' firm, though advances are not looked for this week. The city creameries report a fair movement and a constantly decreasing supply of cream. For the best local brands, 25 cents Is the market quotation. Only one Front street firm so far has advanced the price for state creamery to 25 cents, but the others are likely to follow eocn. as receipts of butter are shrinking. The egg market was weak and dragging With a fairly good supply of Oregon stock on hand and plenty of Eastern. Poultry receipts were heavier than usual, nut the demand was reported large enough to take care of all that came In. LIBERAL FRUIT RECEIPTS. Market Is Well Supplied With a Widely As sorted Variety. ( Yesterday's arrlvale In the fruit line con sisted of a straight car of peaches of tho Elbertus, Late Crawford and Crawford cling varieties, one mixed car of peaches, pears and grapes; one car of lemons and one car ,of Lodl watermelons, besides many smaller ehlrmcnta by express. Prices generally hbld steady. A large local shipment of- small cherries was received and prices dropped to 5076 cents a box. Tomatoes continue In very heavy supply and were weaker at 5075 cents. The best green corn Is selling at ?1 a sack. Cucumbers are almost nominal In price. The County Fruit Inspector yesterday eelred a box of Infected apples on Front street and also condemned a quantity of diseased fruit jo a. urana-avenue grocers'. ADVANCE IN SUGAR. Coast Market Goes Up Ten Cents In Re sponse to the Rise In New York. All grades of rsflned sugar ad-aaced 30 cents c hundred In Pacific Coast markets yes terday. This change merely followed the 10-cent advance In New York on the previous day The New York market has been un settled for some time and Coast refiners have followed It whenever It has changed 10 points or more. The movement heretofore this -season has been downward. The raw sugar mar Itet has stiffened considerably In, the past week, "which has led to the advance In re fined grades. DO WELL 'WITHOUT RAIN.

ISATs; lQiiC COPPER STOCKS IIP Show Most Strength in the New York Markets BASED ON METAL ADVANCE General Splllins; Out Near the Close Turns Prices on the Downward Grade Grain Carriers Show Most Losses. NEW YORK. Aug. 1. The stock market again demonstrated Its god absorptive power today during the period when profit-taking ealen were being made to meet the new de mand. But rather singularly the tone showed more softness when the selling movement had almost subsided. Specialties were the fea ture of the market, as on the day before, and few of the great speculative leaders In the lid moved widely enough to call for special comment. The specialties affected were less numerous than yesterday, and their move ments were less sensational, probably account ing for the diminished effect of the special movements on the general tone of the mar ket. Copper securities were strong In all the markets of the world, based on the advancing price and the extraordinary demand reported for the products. The price of copper ad vanced sharply In London, and In New York the price was marked up H-fnt a pound, fol lowing a similar advance yesterday. The re sponse In Amalgamated Copper was uncertain, and. the dealings In that stock were not on an unusual scale. Smelting continued lu prog ress to new high level, because of the In fluences of an Intended Increase in the divi dend rate. The United States Steel securi ties were also firm but sluggish, the second mortgage bonds making tbe widest movement. The granger stocks stemed p be affected by crop uncertainty, although the wheat market was comparatively free from damage rumors. Rust reports came from Canadian sources and Canadian Pacific was sharply de pressed in consequence. The Eastern rail road stosks were relatively firm. Efforts be ing made to settle the passenger rate war wire helpful to tbe group. The publication ot the Weather Bureau's weekly crop bulletin was the signal for a general recovery In the market, the condi tions there reported being regarded as ex tremely favorable. The Atchison June earn ings and the showing of that system for the fiscal year served to hold Its price In check. Money conditions were not perceptibly al tered. The payment to the Goemment on a periodical maturity of a Central Pacific note makes the aub-Treasury a large gainer from tbe market on operations thus far reported. but Government Interest payable today will operate as an oSseL. The unresponsiveness of the general market to the propping up of Individual stocfet as much ax anything else led to the spilling out of clocks In the final hour, which decided the course-downward after the varying fleeta atlons o! tbe day, and the closing ,was easy, a number of the grain-carriers showing point lessee, on the day. Bands were steady! Total sales, par value. $3,554,000. United States bonds were ua chanzed on call. CLOSING STOCK. QUOTATIONS. vaosing Sales. High. Low. bid.

CHICAGO. Aug. 1. Generally clear weather In the North weat caused weakness In wheat prices at the start, the opening quotations on September being unchanged to jc lower at SSHSSSjc Sentiment, however, soon became bullish and prices made a quick rally. An official forecast of rain tonight In Minnesota and the Dakota started active covering by cherts. In addition, foreign news confirmed In a general way what was heard yesterday concerning poor prospects for the Russian crap. There was also enlarged European In quiry for American wheat. Numerous reports from private sources were received from the Spring wheat district, but advices regarding damage by rust were decidedly contradictory. Some of the reports claimed that the crop would be of exceptionally good quality. Other reports asserted that great damage bad al ready been done by the blight. Later there was a complete reversal of eeatlment, the market during the last hour becoming ex ceeding!)' weak. The principal cause for the late weakness was a favorable report made by the Weather Bureau at Washington relat ing to Spring-sown wheat. The publishing of this official estimate eemed to allay all fears for the safety of the wheat crop In the North western States. Heavy profit-taking follow ing, resulted In a sharp break In prices. The market closed extremely weak with prices practically at the lowest point of the day. Final quotations on September were down 1 at 84l-i0S4t$c Sentiment In the corn market was bullish the greater part of the session. The market closed firm, with prices considerably above yesterday's final quotations. September closed at 32H032HC trcngth of corn Imparted a firm tone to the oats market.
