There was a fair attendance at the board peflnn! eterday morning, and as on the preceding- day a considerable amount of tn fiitm.il business was done by the ferd deal er. Pevernl offers to buy grain, butter and rci were wired in from the Seattle produce Kxi haripe, and some of these orders were rxe.-utrd. out-of-town members at Valley P-'tms have communicated with the officers of the board as to the method of offering supplies to the local trade through the agency of the exchange. There were no material alterations in the produce prices as posted. Kggs were still quoted at IfiTlfiHe. though the only sale was at the top fiprure and there were offers from the Sound to buy at this price, which met with no response on the part of sellers. The tone of the grain and produce mar kets was reported aa follows: Wheat, easy; barley, easy; flour, steady. Kg rs, steady ; butter. steady ; poultry, firm: dressed moats, weak. Off era and s-ales on the board were: Offer to buy M tr 1O0 cases candled egg. 16HC f. o. b. Fort land: "23 to 50 torn No. 1 white oats. $'7 30, Seattle delivery.

Receipts of e-gp yesterday were of the average volume and the price was quoted steady en the street, in some quarters the market was pronounced weak and one deal er asserted ho could not get oer Id cents. However, bad he attended the Foard of Trade, as he should have done, he could have unloaded at an advance over this price. An offer from Seattle to buy lOO cases at It'1! cents was posted and only 23 cases were forthcoming to fill the order. There was a good demand In the poultry market for hens and small chickens, and for farcy lots of the fromer 154 l cents were realised. There were no new developments in the butter market, most of the leading handlers reporting supples under requirements. EXPORT WHEAT TRADE IS QV1FT. Bit." in for CHllfnrnlit Account Oata and Barley Firmer. Very little buying of wheat Is reported by exporters, but a considerable amount of business Is s&ld to be passing on California account. The prices q-.joted at the Foard of T:ade were STc for Kucstern and Sc for cluh. The export value of hhiestem, how mt, was e3 cents, and of club. S3 cents, and exper tens were not disposed to offer more. A much firmer tone prevailed In oats. and barley, though the board quotations were not changed. The strength of the market was due to reports of need of rain both. In the PaTouse country and In California. At the San FYancisro exchange barley values advanced sharply. APPROVAL OF ri!U E S.VLMOS SALES ITactlcally Entire Expected Pack on Co lumbia River Sold. In discuseirg the canned goods trade in the East, the latest I?sue of the New York Commercial stays: -So far as spot trading is concerned, the market for canned goods is quiet, and the tone i generally easy. Jobbers show in difference for most of the articles and are buying only such quantities as they ac tually require to meet wants of the mo ment. In a good many cases they are YSuv ing among th?m5elves and ignoring first bands. A feature that has come to the front 1 the fact that practically the entire evnected pack of Columbia Rrver salmon has been placed on orders taken subject to approval of prices when named. This fea ture has encouraged the belief that a more active spot business may be looked for as soon as retailers come Into the market for fresh supplies. Kanaruui Arrive In t.ood Order. Three cars of bananas were received cn Front street yeeterday and they were all in fire condition. On car of oranges a'so ar r:ed A shipment of strawberries is due fr.im Angeles this morr.lng.

Asparagus and rhubarb were quoted slight ly lower and other vegetables were generally unchanged. iiHfornia Hop Market Steadier.

CROP REPORT IGNORED Erie Financial Problem Acts as the Repressive Influence m the -Market Broadening 1 Jo in and for Bonds. NTJW YORK. April At the Stock Ex change today the price movement was even more sluggish and undecided than yt-aterday. Th (Government report on the April condition of Winter wheat and rye was made the vehicle for an attempted revival of activity. Traders ifho had bought In anticipation of a good crop report sold to take profits and prices of stocks ran off, although the percentage of condition of wheat was fully as high ss had been ex pected. The indifference of the tock market to this factor proved a dleafpointment to the trading element, and they fell back upon the E-1 flns.nclal problem as the repressive influence on the market. The question arose aa to the position the company would be in with the passing of the maturity of the notes without redemption. The notes sold off on the curb again to below 90. Reports ot rain In Kansas offered newer conditions for the wheat crop thHn were re ported by the Agricultural department, and Lad more effect In sustaining prtces. Dealings in the bond division of the stock market show some increasing variety in the number of issues dealt In, but the aggregate transactions hold at a low ebb. Rumors that the Brie plan would become operative grew more positive late in the day and rallied prices. The numerous shifts tn the price movement so far offset each other that the day's net changrs are not important. Itonds were steady. Total sales, par value, $2. 5 Mi. 000. United States bends were uncharged on call. OLOSINO STOCK QUOTATIONS. Closing Sales. High. Low. Hid. Adams Express 177 Amal Copper .... 23.
