THE MORNING OREGONIAX, SATURDAY, JTTLY 11, 1908. 13 CHEESE 15 TOO LOW Price Is Out of Proportion to Butter Values. ADVANCE IS INDICATED Light Stocks In the Producing Cen ters and a Strong Demand Promise Higher Prices in the. Near Future. Tho cheese market has a Arm tone and an upward tendency. Yesterday's quota tions were 13 H & 14 cents, with the de mand good and suppMrs light. That prices should rule higher than are current is the general opinion in the trade, as cheese quo tations are out of proportion to butter values. Last year the lowest butter price In the Portland market was 22 Is cents on April 36 and the same bottom fiffure was reached at San JYancisco on the same date. Cheese sold at Its lowest In Portland last year on June 20 at 14 cents, while the San Francisco cheese market on May 2:1. 1907. had dropped to 31 cents. On July 28 last year, butter was selling at 30 cents In Portland and cheese at J6 cents, showing an advance of 7 cent on butter and 1 Vi cents on cheese from the low point. In the Ban Francisco market, butter sold on Aug ust 8 last year at 294 cents and cheese at 14 cents, or an advance of 6 cents on butter and 34 cents on cheese from the low point. In Portland today butter is selling 2H cents a pound above the low point last year, while cheese here Is Selling 1 cent below last year's bottom figure. It will be seen. In comparing the above prices, that cheese Is selling several cents too low. Llirht stocks at nil the cheese producing centers herabouts indicate a 34 to 15 cent market before August 15 The Indications are that the creameries In the cheese-producing sections will likely give more attention to buttr making dur ing the remainder of the season. IXCAL GRAIN TRADERS ARB CAUTIOUS In View of Crop Uncertainty, Business Is Quiet on Local Board. With crop conditions so uncertain there Is not much disposition among sraln men to speculate In futures at the present time, and business is naturally quiet on Che Board of Trade. The latest reports from the wheat sections indicate no material change In conditions and the leading grain men hold to their former estimate of a crop from 20 to 25 per cent short of last year's. The first threshing returns are quite satisfactory, but they are of early grain, which was In a better position to stand the hot. dry weather than that which matured later. The returns next week will furnUh a better Indication of what the crop Is to be. At the Board of Trade yesterday, 83 cents was bid for both Sej,terr fcer and December wheat and there were offers to sell the lat ter delivery at 4 cents. For September oats f 1.25 was bid and $1. 10 1.20 was offered for December. There were offers to feell December barley at $1.18 1.20, with $1.07401.10 bid. Receipts for the day were 4 cars and 1400 sacks of wheat. 3 cars and 49 sacks of oats. 878 sacks of barley and 1 ear of hay. The range of futures was as follows: WHEAT. Open. High. Low. Close.

The Brooks Fruitgrowers Association is distributing its big crop of loganberries Judiciously anj as a result the market is kept In good trim. Association fruit yester day sold firmly on the street at $1 per crate, though some outside berries were offered at 75 cents. A carload will be In for Monday's trade. Manager Lick states that a car of loganberries will be dispatcher from Brooks tonight for Searttle, and will reach that market in time for Monday morn ing's trade. Two cars of cantaloupes were received yesterday, hut the demand was good and the market very firm at $2 2.25 per crate. A car of oranges and lemons and two cars of bananas were also received. Apricots were scarce and firm and peaches and other California fruits steady. Cher ries were plentiful and sold fairly well. Some fancy Pings were offered at $1.30 per 25-pound box and Royal Anns at $1. Loose cherries sold around 3 cents when tho quality was right. Among the vegetable receipts was the first shipment of outdoor tomatoes from The Dalles, which hi ought $2.."-0 per crate. EGG MARKET CONTINUES TO ADVANCE Poultry Firm and Active and Veal Quoted Hipper. The egg market continues to show a de cidedly firm tone, and with the advance in prices the demand became stroncer. Prices quoted on Front ttreet yesterday were 22 4(5 23' cents. One large handler said he had orders at 24 cents which he could not fill. These top prices are only on fresh selected ranch stock. As the shortage begins to be felt, the trade Is turning its attention to the Eastern market for supplies, and three cars of Eastern eggs were started for this city yesterday. Poultry was in good demand yesterday, fancy hens selling at 13134 cents and Springs at 1819 cents. There was also a strong demand for veal, which was very scarce and quotations on the best offerings were advanced to 84 tf9 cents. Dressed pork, on the ether hand, was dull and weak. The butter market was firm and active at the former rang;- of prices. UrIu reW of Cancan Bark. The peel of rasrara bark in the North west will be smaller than usual this season, , according to reports received from the coast counties. This fact, however, has not stimulated the local market in any de gree, nor has it helped trade in the East, where it Is also known that the lfns out put will be lipht. On the contrary the East ern market has taken a turn for the worse and the quotations of the trade papers have been reduced a cent on sales at 6 cents. The best market for bark appears to be In Europe, latest English advices reporting more Inquiry. Ten Cent Hop Offers. There have been no new developments In the hop market In the past two days. Con tracts are strong at 10 cents, for. in spite of all that has been said for and against the advance. It Is known positively that growers have been offered this figure. Crop conditions are said to be not materially changed from last week. The well culti vated yards are making good progress, while the neglected yards are showing plainly the effect of the dry. hot weather. Oregon Wools la the F.nM. According to the latest Boston advices, wool dealer have succeeded In turning over a fair percentage of their purchases In Ore gon. Transactions in staple continue, but the quantities are not announced. Trading Is around 18 cents and the scoured cost is figured as high as 58 cents in some cases. The range Is from 56 cents up.

SMALL NET GAINS Gradual Improvement in Busi ness Conditions. INDUSTRY MORE ACTIVE In Many Lines of Trade, However, Midsummer Dullness Is Pro nounced, but Good Fall Business Expected. NEW YORK, July 10. Dun's weekly re view of trade will say: Further small gains are recorded In com mercial progress, favorable reports pre dominating, although the tendency Is by no means definite. In many lines of trade the dullness of midsummer is unusually intense, but each week brings Increased manufacturing activity and Instances are noted of orders for Fall goods placed too late for delivery at specified rates. Bank exchanges this week in leading cities of the United States aggregated $l,IKt1.R00.7tfO, a decrease of per cent as compared with 1907, and 25.8 per cent compared with the figures of two years ago. The comparison is unusually unfavorable because of the fact that only five business days are included In 1908 in comparison with full weeks in the preceding years. Even with this difference, however, some of the cities make very satisfactory reports, notably Kansas City, with a decrease of only 63 per cent, compared with the full week last year, and a gain 17. 7 per cent over 190ft. At Chicago, the decrease is only 1 6.4 per cent from the clearings In 1907 and there is an Increase of 1.3 per cent over the exchanges of two years ago. Tne dif ference In number of days is eliminated by taking the dally average statement, which for the month of July thus far, shows a decrease of It per cent from last year's exchanges and 8.8 per cent as compared with 1906. These frgures are more truly representative of the difference in volume of business. , FSCAl, QUIET SUMMER CONDITIONS Feeling; of Confidence as to the Outcome of Fall Business. NEW YORK, July 10. Bradstreets tomor row will say: Midsummer quiet still reigns in general trade and industry, but the advance of the season and the promise of good average crops have accentuated the feelinc of con fidence as to the ultimate outcome of future Fall business. Business failures in the United States for the week ending July 9 number 246. which compares with 236 last week and 183 in the like week of 3 907. W'heaC including flour, exports from the United States and Canada for the week ending July 9 aggregates 2.781.828 bushels, against 2.008.565 last week and 3,264,714 this week last year.

NEW YORK. July 10. The tone of the stock market was irregular today, and the professional traders were a great deal con fused by the obstacles they encountered in the movements of prices In both directions. The start was lower than last night, the disposition being, apparently, to take profits on the action of the Democratic- National convention. There has been buying of stocks recently on the assumption that with the uncertainty over the two candidates definitely removed, there would be some outside demand for stocks aroused. At the lower level. Induced by this realizing, an aggressive demand developed and prices ad vanced vigorously. This movement had not proceeded far when stocks began to be offered in a volume and with a persistence that argued some large participation In the market on that side. Selling orders In several separate stocks came from an Individual source in 5000 to 1'0,000-share portions, and this led to a supposition that plunging operations were being renewed on the part of a recent spectacular performer In the market. Some of the stocks which have figured most prominently in this week's rise were affected by an exhaustion of demand at the higher prices to which they had been car ried, and the prices gave way easily before realizing sales. This was particularly true pt American Smelting, Amalgamated Cop per and the two Hill railroad stocks, which were strong yesterday, and United Stales Steel preferred, which rose buoyantly on the previous day. The sentimental effect of these weak points was coniiderabie. and there was no such conspicuous point of strength to offset it as during other periods of realizing during the wek. The general list, therefore, showed more sympathy with this weakness than yesterday. There was a sudden drop of activity of the market during the midday period, after a first hour's business larger than for any day of the week. The appearance of sup port In the market disappeared in the iaie dealings and the closing tone was distinctly weak. Bonds were irrestilar. Total sales, par value. $2,415,000. United States bonds were unchanged on call. CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS. Closing Sales. High. Low. Bid.

WEAK AT TIE CLOSE Chicago Wheat Market Nerv ous and Very Active. FLUCTUATIONS OF 1 CENT Failure of Liverpool to Respond to Previous Day's Bulge Unset tles Feeling at Opening. CHICAGO. July 10. The floal unknut in the wheat market marked the close of a nervous session during which a large vol ume of business was transacted. The unre cponsire tone of the Liverpool market, prices for wheat on that exchange being .a trifle higher, notwithstanding a sharp ad vance here yesterday, caused considerable selling here at the opening which resulted in a slight dip during the first few minutes of trading. Commission-houses, however, were active bidders and this soon caused a sharp rally, prices advancing about lc be fore the end of the first half hour. For a time sentiment in the pit continued bullish, inspired to a large extent by unseasonably high temperatures in the Northwest, par ticularly in North Dakota. The market weakened again In the final hour on profit taking and closed weak at almost the low est point of the day. September opened H to c lower at 89140e. advanced to Si0 and then declined to 89c. The close wu at 89?, 89ic. The corn market was strong throughout the session, owing to active demand by shorts and leading bulls. At the top, prices were from 2 to 2Hc above the low point of the day. The upturn seemed to be due to the oversold condition of the market. Sep tember opened 14 c lower to He higher at 71 72c. advanced to 74 He and closed at 73i 73'4c. The bulge in corn caused a strong mar ket for oats. September opened He lower to He higher at 3H40q and advanced to 40Sic where lt closed. Provisions were active and strong. The strength of corn and an advance of 10c in the price of live hogs were the chief in fluences. At the close, September pork was up 32Ve at 18.17H. lard was up 12HlSc at 9.6214 8.65. and ribs were 1517Ho higher at f9. Leading futures ranged as follows: WHEAT. Open. High. Low. Cloe.
