THE MORNING OREGONIAN, FRIDAY, MAT 3, 1907. 1! HIGH PRICES AGAIN Upward Tendency in Many I Staple Grocery Lines. BEANS ARE STIFFLY HELD Asparagus Will Be Hard to Get, Even I at a Premium Record Quota tions on Dried Apricots. Advance in Raisins. . Firmness prevails In nearly all of the It&ple grocery lines and the present price movement Indicates that the record values last year on a number of the commodities n ill be surpassed this season. One of the leading articles that is looking- up is beans. Not many Coast orders have been placed in California yet, but the Eastern trade Is buying freely, pinks. Bayous and whites mill probably rule higher than last year as the season has been unfavorable for the crop. Of llmas, one of the leading Los An geles handlers writes: Deducting seed and Coast' requirements leaves from SO.WO to lOO.OW bags of spot lima beans available for Eastern shipment. The carryover stock. If any, will be insig nificantly gmall. Conditions for seeding have hpen qult unfavorable up to ten days ago, since which time good weather has pre vailed, and if it continues the ground should be in fairly good condition toy May 5 or 10. , Growers, with remarkable unanimity, are positively reiusing io contract tneir crops nhead, and they will . doubtless adhere to that DOllcv until seed in ur Is over and good stands are secured, at least. It looks now as if no contracting will be done with farmers this season under $3.50 per hundred weight net to them, even though crop de velopments should be of the most favorable character, which means an actual cost f. o. b. cars of from $3.0 to $3.tio per hundred weight. The California asparagus pack is practi cally a failure. The largest canner on Boul dln Island will not put up a single crate and other large canners will not operate. IO AMI HUB Ui l&ie lUUKCQ IO U1C for a large supply and the shortage will, of Jourse, mean an advance in prices. KThe California apricot crop Is likewise arty a failure, conservative estimates lacing the yield at only one-fifth of .the verage. Opening prices will be very high, ome dealers predicting a 20c market. mi. biiis win mnu upxn hi an uuvaiitB over last year's prices. It is reported that raisin packers are offering as high as $00 and S1O0 per ton for raisins In the sweat box. Another article that is now commanding much attention i canned pineapple. High grade Hawaiian pack Is in most favor and a free movement is under way on the Coast. The demand for the cheaper grades is sup piled with the Singapore product. Very lit tle Bahama pineapple now reaches this market. :,, -ORDKKS FOR HOPS AT LOW PRICES. , Crop - Conditions In This State and In the East. The local hop trade has a good many or ' ders on hand, but most of them are at very , low prices. Among the transactions reporl- ed yesterday was the purchase of the Dean V Moorshot lot of 96 bales at Grant's Pass by Catlln & Linn. The price was 6 cents. The growing crop in Oregon is not looking as well as It did last Spring, but It is too early yet to make any safe guess as to what the outcomo will be. There Is plenty of Iroo for the more backward vlneB to catch up with the thrifty ones. Many of the farm, ers, however, are doing but little to get their yards In condition. The latest issue of the Waterville Times ays of conditions in New York State: "Farmers were able to get into their yards the first of the week, but now, owing to the continued downpour of the past few days, work Is at a standstill again. Re ports from the yards do not differ essen tially from former years in the new yards the roots are In fairly good condition, but In the older yards there are many miss hills. About half the poles have been set. OREO OX STRAWBERRY SEASON OPENS first FTuU Arrives Krm Douglaa County. . California Berries Lower. Oregon strawberries have appeared in the local market, four crates arriving from Myrtle Creok and Dlllard. The first to come In were green and sold for iiOc per pound, but the others were well ripened and brought 40c. California strawberries were In fair supply yesterday and old a hade easier at $2.60&2.73 per crate. To day's receipts promise to be the heaviest of the season which will mean a further decline. Among the day's arrivals was a half car of navel, St. Michael and blood oranges. The latter were Quoted at $3.75 4 and the St. Michaels the same as navels. Vegetables were in moderate supply and generally sjlri well. -Some Southern egg plant was received and offered at 20c per pound. New Summer squash is Quoted at i i:hj 16c. BUYING OF EOtiS FOR COLD STORAGE. Speculators Operations Keep Down Accu mulation on Front Street. There was some heavy buying in the Front-street egg market yesterday by cold storage speculators. Eighteen cents was the price quoted In this line of business, but on ingle case lots, candled, the jobbers asked IS He. But for the storage demand, stock3 would have been burdensome. Chicken receipts were quite heavy, but there was a fairly good demand and former price were maintained.' Some young ducks are now coming In and this has depressed the price for old ducks. The butter market was steady with a good movement. The city creameries are keeping well cleaned up, while satisfactory shipping orders prevent any accumulation on Front street. Plenty of Meat but It Sells Well. Front street has been well supplied with country dressed meats this week, but the receipts have worked off satisfactorily. Good veal has found ready sale at top prices, but the poorer offerings show a ten . deney to drag. As the season advances large are not so much sought after, but the de mand is good for email stock weighing from 100 to 125 pounds. Mutton prices hold up well. Spring lambs are coming in more freely, but are steadily quoted. Bank Clearings. Bank clearings of the leading cities of the t Northwest yesterday were: i , Clearing.

PRICES ARE PUSHED UP Entire List Sympathetically Affected by the Coarse of the Harrimans. Influence of the Crop News. Money Is Unchanged. NEW YORK. May 2. The stock market to day again showed itself responsive to the course of Union Pacific and not much to any other development. The tone tu heavy dur inj the early part of the day In continuation of the depression under which the dealings ended yesterday. . Union Pacific shared to some extent in the decline. The better tone which ensued when the Harrlman stocks turned up ward was not widespread and was not de cided outside of that Immediate group. The strength of Union Pacific was as much without explanation In any special develop ment as It has been from the first, and was the subject of a great variety of rumors which had no authoritative confirmation. The spurt la the preferred stock preceded the re covery In the common and served to revive the rumors of a distribution of shares In a company which would hold Union Pacific stocks and other companies. The preferred stock has not hitherto moved in company with the common, although the report of an' in tended holding company has been current ever since Union Pacific became active and strong. It was only recently pointed out that pre ferred stockholders would share with holders of common stock rights In any distribution of Union Pacific treasury assets. The Jump In the preferred stock today might be ascribed either to a belated recognition of the value of the expected rights, or a perception of market operations for a rise in the common to be shared In the preferred. The lack of authen tic Information to account for the Union Pa cific movement makes It somewhat unconvinc ing ae a reflection of general market condi tions. It Is expected that the statement of net earnings of the two Harriman companies, which probably will be published tomorrow, will make a favorable showing. The sympathetic Influence of the actlop of the Harrlman stocks was most distinct In other transcontinental stocks and others that have been Joined In previous movements of the group. The copper industrials showed a more Independent strength, due to the strength of the metal Itself. The unfavorable effect of the proposed is sue of. S26.000.000 of Atchison convertible bonds bearing 6 per cent Interest seemed to be modified to some extent today. The old convertible 4s of the company recovered a part of yesterday's decline and the general bond market was not affected as much as had been feared by bond dealers -as a consequence of the terms offered by the company to secure new capital. Some beneflt accrued to the late stock mar ket from the failure of the wheat market to hold Its extreme rlat.. There was an increased disposition aim to ascribe a part of the keen demand for wheat to the poor prospects of foreign harvests as well as our own. The money markets underwent no marked change In conditions. The fact that money conditions have remained tranquil all through in spite of the extra requirements helped to confirm the growing confidence In the real and substantial nature of the relaxation In the world's money markets. Union Pacific was pushed to above 150, but even higher was evidently the objective point of the day's movement, and the stock closed there, hold ing the general market firm. Bonds were Irregular.

MARKET IS VERY STRONG Frost Does Great Damage to the Growing Crop In the Winter Grain Belt Higher Prices Obtain In Europe. CHICAGO, May 2. At the close, wheat for July delivery was up 6e. corn was off rc, oats were down 6c. and pro visions were 265c to 7o higher. Trading In wheat today was on a very broad scale, commission houses, shorts and bull traders competing fiercely for the grain. The principal cause for the demand was the growing conviction that the wheat crop for 1907 will be greatly lessened because of un favorable weather conditions. Reports were received today from sections of the winter wheat belt that frosts last night heavily dam aged the growing crop. The prediction of the Weather Bureau that similar conditions will prevail tonight intensified the bullish feeling. Sharp advances In prices at the chief grain centers of Europe were additional sources of strength. Late In the day th edge was taken off the market by the weakness of coarse grains, but the sentiment continued bullish until tbe close, which was strong. July opened 6c higher at 84684e. sold at 84c and advanced to 85c, closing at 84c. s The strength of wheat lent some firmness to com early In the day, but the market soon weakened on selling by elevator Interests and continued rather weak Tor the remainder of the day. The market closed weak. July opened . c higher at 5050c, sold at 50c and then declined to 48c closing 48650c. Reports of damage to the oats crop by frost caused a good demand at the opening. The market closed weak. July opened c lower to c higher at 4S44c. sold off to 42c and closed at 42643o. Provisions were firm on a good demand for lard. Local stocks were smaller than esti mated. At tihe close July pork was up 6c lard was up 7c and ribs were 25c higher. Leading futures ranged as follows: WHEAT. Open. High. Low- Close.

KNIFE AND PISTOL DUEL Restaurant Man Stuck With-Jiuteher Knife, Shoots His Cook. - CHICAGO, May 2. J. TS.

Burgeson ran from the kitchen with the big butcher knife sticking entirely through' his body. Beaumont stopped to pick up another knife and then ran after Burgeson, who had reached his counter and got his revolver. A waiter pulled the knife from Burgeson's body as he ran past him. As Beaumont resumed the attack Burge son fired four shots at him, three bullets taking effect. Both men dropped to the floor. Beaumont was taken to the county hospital, where he died two hours later.

The statement made In The Oregonian on April 30 by P. McDonald, in which he In sinuates that I had turned from the sup port of Mr. Coffey to that of Mr. Devlin, for a consideration, is absolutely false. X havo no personal acquaintance with Mr. Coffey or Mr. Devlin. In his statement he claims that both Mr. Hatch and I were in favor of Mr. Coffey In March and that we said Mr. Devlin was not a fit candidate for the office, at which time I bad not formed an opinion for myself. Mr. McDonald spoke very disparagingly of Mr. Devlin, and I said that if such was the case we did not want Mr. Devlin to hold tbe office. But In the time which elapsed between the meeting In March and the meeting in April of which Mr. Mr Donald speaks, I investigated on my own account, and found that lit order to be true to myself and fellowmen, I could not conscientiously support Mr. Coffey, for the simple reason that there is some certain party supporting him in order to further their own selfish ends, which In my opinion would be far worse for the labor party than the election- of Mr. Devlin. I truly and sincerely believe that Mr. Devlin's election will be more beneficial to the Labor party and our beautiful city - than Mr. Coffey's election. Mr. McDonald also makes the bold state ment that he knows some members of our union have received money, and that he could name them. Now I wish to say right here that, if that assertion Is true, lt must be on Mr. McDonald's side, for on our side there were but few votes cast at that mem orable meeting in April, and I know posi tively that there has been no money con sideration whatever on our side. We had only our own moral convictions and cour age to stand on. When Mr. McDonald says that he has been offered $5rt00, and refused it, I will let the people draw their own conclusions. I could never trust a man who has betrayed a trust put in htm. when he was elected secretary of our union after being no longer a frelghthandler, but an editor. I believe in- the future of the Labor party and will do all I can for it. and the VICTOR MANGANESE STEEL BANK SAFE GLASS &PRUDHOMME CO., AGT3. PORTLAND.
