THE MORNING OREGONIAN, FRIDAY, JUNE 29, 1906, 13 WOOL MARKET FIRM Stock Moving Slow and Not in Best Condition. RAIN RETARDS SHEARING Hopyards Suffering on Account of Lack of Proper Cultivation in Some Sections Stocks Moving Freely on Front Street. Wool continue to hold the boards on mar ket row, and, while there is no material change in prices quoted yesterday, stocks are moving- oft rapidly and the demand remains steady and the market firm. Eastern Oregon clips are meeting; a ready rale at 18f?23c. and Valley, coarse at 22HS23c. and tine. 24,.'i per pound. Some complaint is being heard among- dealers that farmers are clip ping their sheep before the fleeces are dry, and many shipments are arriving In anything but first -class condition. Shearing is late on account of the inclement weather, but as a rule the product is being- placed on. the mar ket in good merchantable conditoin, and there 1 no dlffculty in disposing of the stock. Prices, although considerably lower than those of laet year, are regarded as much more stable, as the element of speculation, which had a tendency to In1 at a the quotations, U almost entirely absent, and the market has settled down to a more sound "supply and demand" basis. There is, however, some speculation in wool, but the heavy buyers of laet year lost so heavily that they have dropped out of the game temporarily and a new set has stepped in. The Eastern market Is not disposed to tolerate high prices, such as prevailed last year, again and the buyers have been cautioned that It will not be safe to "plunge" under existing conditions. Grow ers had their views set even higher this year than last, however, and buying is made the more difficult on that account, although, gen erally speaking, the ruling prices are being found acceptable to both Eastern Oregon and Valley producers. It is estimated that at least 30 to 40 per cent of the Spring clip remains In the grow ers' hands In the Willamette Valley, and the growers of Eastern Oregon still hold about the same percentage of the crop. The harvest is slow in Oregon, owing to weather condi tions, which makes clipping uncertain, and buyers are moving eastward into Iduho and Montana. HOrH GROWING FIXE. Many Growers Are Neglecting Their Yards and May Suffer for It. While nearly all authorities agree that present conditions In the hop yards of this state Indicate that the largest crop in the Mstory of the state will be harvested this year, latest reports from ap-valley growers are to the effect that the majority of grow ers are relying altogether too much upon the late rains to grow and mature their hops, and there Is a noticeable tendency to neglect cultivation of their yardB. The growth of the vines up to the present tlm Is far ahead of any year, and while the majority of them are in a healthy and thrifty condition, there are Instances where the vines have a weak and sickly appearance, especially where proper cultivation is lacking, and the consensus of opinion seems to be that some growers will suffer keen disappointment when the rains subside and the sun comes out hot and Btrong. Now, in the opinion of those who have had j ears of experience In the business and are In a position to know whereof they speak. Is the proper time to cultivate the yards, and cultivate deep, otherwise the ground will be hard and will not absorb the moisture and will dry up and bake within a week after the warm weather of Summer sets In. Upper valley dealers are active In the field, working hard to secure contracts upon this year's crop, but growers display a tendency to take their chances with 'the market, and little business Is being done on futures. Offers of 10, and even as high as 11. cents have been reported, but there are few takers, even at these seemingly unwarranted prices. FRVITS ARE PLENTIFUL. Fresh shipments Arrive In Good Condition, Meet With Good Demand. Another carload of deciduous fruits arrived yesterday. In which plums predominated, and stocks In this line were placed upon an easy basis on Front street. There Is a steady and growing demand for this variety of fruit, however, and goods are moving off In a sat isfactory manner to all concerned. Another carload arrived on Wednesday, and four more cars were due last night or this morning. Up to the present time ripe fruit has been com paratively scarce and In good demand, and the late shipments will not go begging for a market. The Inclemency of the weather has had some effect upon lemons, the market upon which la not quite so firm as It has been the past few weeks. A carload of cantaloupes which arrived yesterday are moving well, con sidering the weather. Milk Season Prolonged. The late rains have had the effect of pro longing the bountiful supply of milk this year, and the quality of the product Is proportion ately better than Is usual at this time of year. This Is due to the heavy arid continued growth of grass In the pastures and the dairymen are reaping a rich harvest from their cows tn consequence. The pnly complaint! to be heard among milk and cream dealers Is that the cool weather Is curtailing the demand tor cream, and they sigh for hot weather and for an Increased consumption of Ice cream, etc The greater portion of cream Is being churned Into butter, and the consequence Is there is an unusually heavy stock of the latter com modity on hand and the market Is correspond lngly weaker, but quotations remain un changed. First Oregon Outdoor-Grown Tomatoes. True to his record of past seasons. John Klint, of The Dalles, has sent in the first shipment-' of Oregon outdoor-grown tomatoes to have -been placed upon the open market this year. They arrived yesterday In prime condition and are selling rapidly at prices ranging considerably above the quotations for California and hothouse-grown receipts. ' Mr. Klint also sent in the first shipment of Oregon-grown encumbers this year. Bank Clearings. Bank clearings of the leading cities of the Northwest yesterday were: , Clearings. Balances.

PRICE CHANGES VIOLENT Rapid Decline in Quotations and Heavy Liquidation Responsible for Feverish and Uncertain Condition on 'Change. NEW YORK, June 28. Prices of stocks moved in an exceedingly feverish and uncer tain manner today. This was owing clearly to the large extent to .which the short interest had been built up, to the course of the rapid decline in prices and the heavy liquidation of the laet few days. The extent to which this liquidation has gone and the effective relief thus secured serve to make the short interest uneaey lest a sudden turn in the course of the market might be Imminent. The liquids tion was continued In large volume in the early part of the day. But the eagerness of the bears to secure their profits and their rush to buy for this purpose caused extensive recov eries in prices. From the one extreme of the day to the other the oscillation of prices therefore was violent. New developments of Amalgamated bearing upon values were not Important. Yes terday's half demoralized selling and unsup ported weakness had the Inevitable effect of Inducing large calls upon customers of com mission housea for additional margins and commission houses were reported as complain ing that a large proportion of these requests brought back instructions to sell the stocks and close out the accounts. Some of the im portant pools were supposed also to be further lightening their loads. Numerous smaller pools which were com mitted in attempts to control the market for minor Industrial stocks were said to be hav. lng trouble In realizing on their holdings, of fers of small parcels In some cases finding absolutely no bid In the market. The fact that the moet spectacular operators on the bear side of the market had ventured to fix definitely today as the date for a panicky outbreak In the market made the uncovered bears eager toavail themselves of- what was thus made to appear a crisis In the declining tendency. This disposition was the more pro nounced on account of the failure to appear of the heralded culmination. Conditions In the money market were un changed. The call loan rate got above 4 per cent early In the day. Sixty-day loans on industrial collateral were made at 5 per cent. Foreign exchange continued to decline, and it was said that gold could be engaged in Lon don at a profit for import to New York if any supply was available there. No arrivals are expectedl in London until next week, when it is believed engagements will be made for New York account. Prices were well sustained dur ing the latter part of the day. and soma strik ing gains were established in the mercurial speculative favorites. There was a notable shrinkage in activity at the higher level, and the cloging tone was slightly irregular, but near the top. Bonds were h-regular. Total sales (par val ue). $1,360,000. United States bonds were unchanged on call. CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS. Closing Sales. High. Low. bid. Adams Express 240 Amal. Copper 167.500 994 K,j, 9'4 Am.

In the July Century appears an article on dry farming, which should be of im mense Interest to both farmers and others all over the so-called arid portion of America. The author gives an account of what is called "the Campbell system." and shows the wonderful results obtained where this system is followed intelli gently. The principle is to store uo in the soil, as far as possible, the snow and rain that fall in any given locality. To do this, the writer in the Century says, two tilings are necessary: "First, to keep the surface of the land under cultivation loose and finely pul verized. This forms a soil mulch that permits the rains and melting snows to percolate readily through to the com pacted soli beneath; and that at the same time prevents the- moisture stored In the ground from being brought to the suc face by capillary attraction, to be ab sorbed by the hot, dry air. The second is to keep the subsoil finely pulverized and firmly compacted, increasing its water-holding capacity and its capillary attraction, and placing It In the best physical condition for the germination of seed and the development of plant root. The 'dry farmer' thus stores water not In dams and artificial reservoirs, but right where it can be reached by the roots of growing crops." By following out these methods a rain fall of 12 Inches can be conserved, we are told, so effectively that it will pro duce better results than are usually ex pected of an annual precipitation of 24 inches In humid America. The discoverer and demonstrator of these principles has made It possible to cover with wheat and corn, alfalfa and other useful crops, tens of thousands of square miles of fertile land on which nothing but sagebrush, cacti, Kansas sunflowers and bunchgrass are now found. What this means to the country is best appreciated when the vast amount of arid land, that cannot be reclaimed by Irrigation even. Is considered. Snow or rain falls, to a certain extent, every where, and when the precipitation is util ized, as suggested, millions of acres will be added to the habitable area of the country. It is thought that not less than 500,000,000 acres could be reclaimed from its present unproductive and comparative ly worthless state Just as rapidly as set tlers, whether native born or Immigrants from foreign countries, could be taken to it. The possibilities of this country as to the production of food and wealth seem boundless. Industry and intelligence will bring forth more and more. The more that is needed, the greater will be the supply. We fancy, though, that dry farming, as here described, would be most remunerative under a system of co-operation. It necessitates the employ ment of machinery and constant labor, and in both a great saving could be ef fected by co-operation. WHEN IS A MAN 21? A Question Not So Very Easy to An. swer After All. New York Sun. "It Is often said that law Is applied common sense," said Professor John Wurts, of the Yale Law School, the other day, when In town. "While it is true that law principles originated In common sense, the law itself la the com bined experience of many men; for no two men unlnstructed In law will agree as to what Is applied common sense. "Then there are many rules of law which undoubtedly have a common sense origin, but conditions having changed, history fails to disclose this origin. Yet these very rules must be retained in or der not to shake personal and property rights. Therefore no man catij depend on his own unlnstructedt common sense to know the law. "To drive this statement home. I have frequently put to an Incoming law class the question, 'when does an infant ae come of ageV The answer is always unanimous: "When he is 21 years old.' "The next question appears ridiculous to some, and makes them laugh, while others set their alleged eommon sense at work, and never with correct result: When Is a man zl years old?' "One student says, "On his 21st birth day," but of course he does not mean It, lor he is about a year out of the way. Another ventures. On the last annivers ary of his birthday.' This sounds bet ter, but even if correct Is not speciric enough. 'When he has completed his 21st anniversary"; 'at the beginning of that day'; 'on his 21st anniversary, at the pre cise hour of his birth," are other answers. "And then I surprise the gnessers by saying that they are all wrong. "in computing time It is a general rule that the law disregards part of a day. In applying this rule, suppose a man was born just one minute before mid night on January 2, 18S0. "At midnight he had lived but one min ute, yet the day on which henras born was ended, and he law considered him one day old. So in computing the 21 years which a man must live In order to reach his majority we do not begin with the moment of birth," but with the com mencement of the day of his birth. Now, since- we must start with the first moment of January 2, 1880. it is per haps natural to say that this man did not become ill years old until the close of January 1, I90L Mathematically speaa lng this Is true. "Twenty-one years in that sense re quires that the last moment of January i. iDwi, snouia nave arrived in order to make the man of age, and, obviously. he was of age at that point of time. But here again the rule is applied. As the man was of age on the last mn- ment of January 1, the law disregards the entire part of the day intervening be tween the first moment and the last, and consequently he became In law 21 years old on the first moment of January I, 1901, the day preceding the 21st annivers ary of his birthday. "This rule Is a part of what is known as the common law and is applied in this country In all states where the common. law of England has been adopted, and remains unchanged by statute. A man may vote or make a valid will on the day preceding the 21st anniversary of his birthday, although the right in the one case and the capacity In the other Is given only to persons 'who have reached the age of 21 years.'
