THE MORNING OREGONIAN, TUESDAY. MAT 14, 1907. 1? - E Wheat Farmers Stiffened by Course of Eastern Markets. LOCAL PRICES ADVANCED Higber Range of Flour Values Is expected This Week TJnsatis factory Reports From Eu ropean Countries. The loeal wheat market lias been further etrengthened by the excited course of the Eastern exchanges, though the strength here la , more or leas sympathetic and Is not derived from the same causes. Only a limited quantity of wheat remains unsold in the Northwest and as the few holders have been stiffened in their views by the Eastern position, the buyers, most of whoso needs are pressing, are compelled to pay the prlcea asked, which are generally a cent above those quoted at the close of last week. The flour market naturally shares In the firmness of wheat and It is probable that before the week la ended there will be an all around advance, though, no change In the list Is announced for today. The advance in the Eastern wheat mark ets la not due entirely to the poor showing In the Winter wheat belt and the Inter ruption to Spring sowing in this country, but alio to the poor crop prospects in Europe. The Liverpool Corn Trade News ays: For the remainder of the season we ex- e& to see all records beaten and shall not be snrprisod If weekly shipments to the Continent li r weeks together exceed 8.000, 00 bushels. This from an importers' ore an la a pretty significant confession of the Crop outlook abroad. Beerbohm says: "Weather conditions have not been, quite favorable for English crops, which need , warm, dry weather. In France the weath er has been too ungenlal, but there have been no serious complaints. In Algeria the drouth is reported compromising to the crop. In Germany the outlook for wheat is evidently poor. Taking into account tne area re pi owed, it may be said that the promise to the German crop is 10 to IS prr cent below that of last year. In Holland and Belgium the weather has been unsea sonably cold and unfavorable for the crops. In Hungary both private and official re ports agree that wheat and rye had suffered seriously from the severe Winter, and that a large area had to be replowed. As much as 25 per cent of the best wheat lands have been destroyed, according to private reports. In Italy the prospects are quite satisfactory. In Spain serious damage has been done by drouth- In Roumanla Spring seedlngs have been delayed by cold weath er, and it is feared the crops will be much below the average. Reports indicate that much Winter wheat and rye is having to be plowed up, some estimates being 20 to 23 per cent of the total area. In Bulgaria a large - area under Winter wheat has been seriously damaged." The weekly grain statisilcs of the Port land Merchants Exchange follow: American visible supply Bushels. Decrease.

Front street was practically bare of straw berries yesterday, as the California ex press did not arrive until evening. A lim Ited supply of Oregon berries came in and owing to the scarcity sold at a good ad Vance, the beat bringing 20 cents. If to day's train Is on time, the bunching of re ceipts will keep the Jobbing trade on the Jump, but with good weather there is not much chance of a glut In the market. Five cars of bananaa arrived tn good con dition, also a car of lemons. Among the day's receipts was a small quantity of gooseberries, which were quoted at 10 cent per pound. Except for home-grown truck, vegetables wero In light supply. Hop Market Without Feature. No new buslnese was reported in the hop -4merTkel yesterday, either in the way of pot transactions or consignments. The latest issue of the Waterville Tim.es ays of crop conditions in New York State: The cold, wet weather has retarded the growth of the vines, but with a few bright, warm days it Is thought the vines will make rapid progress. They are Just begin ning to start and, even with a change to favorable weather, will not reach the tying stage before the last of the month, which wll: be much later than usual. Country Produce Dull. The country produce market was a dull affair with the usual light Monday receipts and a slow demand. Poultry has a weak tone and a further scaling down In prices Is likely this week if supplies are at all heavy. Eggs were steady without change In price. The butter movement was good at former quotations. Holding Wool fur Sealed Bid Sales. Advices from the Eastern Oregon wool markets report the new clip coming in slowly. Very little trading is being done and offerings are small, as most of the growers are holding for the public sales days, the first of wliich is at Pendleton on May 22. , Bunk Clearing.

The rains of the past few days have brightened the prospects of Yamhill farmers consld erably. The rain Improved the hop condi tions somewhat, but the dry spell was of sucn auration that the rain did not anrect the old yards. Prominent growers of th county say the old yards will not yield more .than half a crop. The farmers say the rain was sufficient to enable plowing to be resumed, but the hop growers are much worried over the outlook. Dairy Produce In the East.

Cheese Stead v. uout UNDERTQNE1SGQQD Stocks Only Slightly Affected by Wheat Scare. CLOSING IS VERY STRONG Strength Given to Entire Market by Union Pacific, Which Was Helped by the Favor That Was Extend ed to New Financial Plan. NEW YORK. May 13. The runaway wheat market caused a momentary setback to stocks today, prices yielding most of the opening gains in the course of the first hour. The market gathered force again after that to mount a higher level of prices, but the volume of business fell away almost nothing. speculative intttre&t seems to be wholly diverted from the stock market for the time being. - The strong undertone. In spite of this total neg lect, was very notable. Some special effect was produced on Atchison by the excited rise in wheat, and Canadian Pacific's l point decline seems to reflect uneasiness over the backward seeding season in the Canadian Northwest. Elsewhere the in fluence of the wheat price movement was confined mostly to a wiping out of the early advances- The top level of prices was touched after the sensational opening quotations for wheat were received. The sentiment of the securities market seemed to be to at tach considerable weight to the contribu ting cause to the strength in wheat in ad dition to the present condition of the West ern wheat crop. Damage to foreign crops Is given Its part in the strength of wheat and in making better prices for our own crop. The large reserves in farmers' hands. according to tne Government statistics. gives promise of handsome profits to offset deficiencies of this year's crop. The argu ment waa heard also that the cry of dollar wheat, which swept the market today, will stimulate growers to every effort to in crease the acreage of Spring wheat. There is some skepticism felt over the reports of crop damage aa to the extent of the harm done. The undertone of strength in the stock xraiket, however, was due to an import ant extent to sympathy with the strength In Union Pacific. That stock's rising ten dency is variously attributed to the better opinion of the financial plan announced last week, or to inside support to hold up the prices of the stock and so add to the attractiveness of the offered convertible bonds. Reading waa a seconding Influence to the sustaining effect of Union Pacific. Covering operations by an outstanding short Interest were given credit for the rise in that stock. American Smelting showed some depression, owinr to rumors denying former reports that the dividend rate on the stock was to be advanced. United States Steel, also was heavy. The contro versy over defective steel rails, started by the Southern Pacific authorities, was a de cided advantage to the United States Steel stocks. Money markets were ouotably firmer abroad and the firm tone waa maintained here also. Paris was again buying gold in the London market and took $1,250,000 of the $3,000,000 in spite of the advance in the Bank of England's bid for the supply. A withdrawal of over a million dollars from the Bank of England also went to France. All money markets are reflecting to some extent the expectation of further large borrowing operations, especially by Ameri can railroads. The increasing premium on New York exchange at Chicago Indicates the progress of remittances from that cen ter to New York. Union PaciHc and Read ing were the principal factors In the strong close. Bonds were irregular. Total sales, nar value. $1,136,000. United Sattes bonds were unchanged on call. CLO6INO STOCK. QUOTATIONS. Closing eaiea. mgn. low. Bia.
