I DO HOT PUSH SALES Packers Not Anxious to Sell Future Tomatoes. COAST MARKET IS STRONG Spot Goods Are Advancing on tlie Const Light Trade in Grain Market Fresh Produco Is Active. While Pacific Coast canned fruits will eil lower this season than last year. It la proba'bls that canned vegetables, especially tomatoes. Kill be on a higher basis. The California Fruit Canners Association has not yet named Its prices on the new pack. Only two or three cannera have quoted futures, and they do not appear to be very anxious to selL The situation on spot tomatoes Is strong and the market has an upward tendency. In the past week: the California association has advanced Its prices 24 cents on spot tomatoes. The to mato acreage In California la not as large as usual and In some sections the crop has been affected by too raueb dry weather. The stzo ot the California tomato pack, however, depends principally on the length of the packing season. Asparagus la pretty well cleaned tip In California and much more so than was an ticipated earlier. Some of the packers re port being probably oversold on several of the Unas, particularly tips and small grass, and very little canned asparagus Is offering for sale now except In mammoth and large, and at that mostly the green. All white as paragus Is practically sold out of first handa ALL HOP MARKETS ARE STRONG. Late Advances In London and New York Crop Prospects. Hop markets all over the world are show ing strength. Pacific Coast hops in London were quoted yesterday at 45SS shillings per cwt. (9.64(t$14.o?a per pound), against 40 $60 shillings, the last previous quota tion. The New York market was firm with choice Oregon 1908's quoted at 14 cents. There has been no change of late In the condition of the Oregon crop. The yards show plainly the need of rain. Lice have appeared In several sections, but hot weather will keep the pest in check, and besides the growers are prepared to spray If necessary. There are reports, usual at this time of the year, of the presence of red api&sr, but they lack confirmation. Estimates of the stse of the Oregon crop range from 65,000 to 76?O00 bales. The New York Journal of Commerce quotes a New York dealer with referenoe to crop prospects as follow: "Of course it is still early, and all de pends on weather conditions from now on. The crops may Improve or they may grow worse, but present Indications point to a yield of about 200.000 bales In this coun try, 140.000 cwts. In England. (00,000 cwts. on the Continent, or to a total world's yield of 1,470,000 cwts.. which would be smalter even than the world's yields in the high priced years of 1902. 10S and ISO', when the yields were 1.628,000 cwts., i.619.000 owts. and 1, S6S, 000 cwts. respectively, and when States and Pacifies wane selling around l5o" per pound. Of couna, prloes are not regulated solely by statistics, but It Is. nevertheless, fair to assume thata if the, aggregate of the world's yield turns out only approximately as small as present conditions indicate, prloes will rule higher than at any time since 104." CALIFORNIA. IlEMAyp FOR MHXJTEED Light Trading; In Local Grain Market For eign Shipments. The grain markets are dull. Buyer and sellers are apart in their vlewa on the new crop and the spot demand la light. There Is soma California inquiry for mlllfeed. but little la offered her.

Butter Firm. The egg market wa strong yesterday at 23 cents with prices showing an upward tendency. Receipts were below require ments. There wa a good demand for poultry, but arrival were large and buyers declined to consider any higher prlc-is." The butter market cleaned up well and was firm. The Impression prevails that the market next week will see an advance. The cheese movement la of the average volume and prices are steady. No change In the market la expected in the near 'future. GOOD SUtPPIXQ TRADE IN FRUIT. Ixx-iU Movement Is Also Improving Price Are Steady, The out-of-town holiday demand for prod uce is strong and the local demand la also improving. Supplies yesterday were ade quate and price generally were steady. Cantaloupes moved well at Thursdaya quo tations and cherries were in demand at the former range. Loganberries were the weakest feature of tle fruit market. Receipts were too heavy for the trade and a considerable quantity had to be carried over. Other berries were quoted firm.

The stock market today was a trivial affair, being more or less dull and feeble, with small fluctua tions. The imminence ef a three-day holi day Interval, heft the peoulatlve element indisposed to take chance of accident hap pening during that period. The undertone was very firm and the waiting attitude of the speculation wa coupled with an ap parent determination to cling to present stock holdings. Discounts reoeded In London and Berlin again today, and the weekly abatement of the German Imperial bank showed the strain of the settlement. In Pari, however, the discount rate advanoed and th London ex change rate fell back, call loan rates here were easier than yesterday The advance In Union Paciflo wa helped by the report that the company had old It. allotment of the new Southern Paciflo convertible bond, to which It wa privileged as a Southern Pacific stockholder to sub ? .at These bond advanced today to 104. a record price.
