x HE MORNING OREGOXIAX, TUESDAY, JULY 13, 1909. WHEAT IS HELD BACK Few Growers Care to Sell at Less Than Dollar. EXPORTERS AWAIT CROP "While Few Contracts Are Closed at 9 0 Cents, Most Farmers Ask TUgher Mark, and Trade Is Deadlocked. The consistently bullish views held by the !". nd the strong disinclination felt by the local dealers and exporters to meet them, are resulting In wheat deals being practically at a deadlock. Although a lit tle new wheat has changed hands at CO cents, the majority of growers are holding out tor $1 in the country, which Is equiv a:cr.t to $1.10 In Portland. Very little contracting has been done, for with 10 cents separating grower and dealer but tew deulers are Inclined to speculate. Some few contracts tor new wheat changed hands yesterday, but the larger exporters are waiting for some definite Indication as to the quality of the crop, and this will not be furnished until harvesting operations begin. It is generally considered that most of the growers will be ready to sell at the cur rent price as soon as the crop Is ready for shipment. The state of the Eastern market Is another strong factor in strengthening ho hands of the Western grower In his Xnove for higher prices than those current. There Is practically no old wheat on hand, mnd any to bs obtained Is being snapped up by the local mlUs at $1 In Portland. A fcfew odd lots of bluestem changed hands at Ithnt ngure yesterday. There seems to be tbo spot club obtainable. The recent rains have been widespread and have doterred the farmers from har fvestlng operations. In the most advanced Sections scarcely any harvesting has been Kaomraenced, but a movement In that re kjpect was noticed yesterday, several dealers Reported. .

A scarctty more than usually marked was noticeable In fberrles among the Front street dealers yesterday. Raspberries and loganberries were both firm at $1.40, but the tendency Is for stronger arrivals today, isrhlch win key . the price down slightly. 'Royal Anns and Blnga of any quality were -not numerous, the best of each bringing 6 cents and a cents respectively, although tJte poorer grades ohanged hands at 2 centa All berries were rather scarce because of he rain Sunday, but the return to fine weather yesterday will In all probability Jlood the market, as growers are afraid of further rain completely ruining the orop. Praotically no strawberries were observed. Iflve prtme boxes of Crawford peaches easily cleared at $l.2S, although peaches of good itjuallty Slave only been reaching the 60-cent mark. Cantaloupe were scarce and steady round $2.25, a raise of 25 cents since Satur day. Sone dealers reported sales of Jumbo at $S, but these figures were not touched Generally. Arrivals of cantaloupes are ap proximately half what they were last week, and the market Is stiffening considerable. A further raise Is predicted for the close f the week. Watermelons droppsd half a cent to 1 cents and rhubarb was an absolute drug. tVfost of the dealers hold supplies that have Hot moved for several days. Aprlcots'were cheaper by reason of heavy arrivals. Ar rivals of seedless grapes were poor tn qual ity, and only moved around $1, while good stock was readily sold at $2. A few arrivals of Italian prunes found buyers at $1.S0. and large receipts of Cali fornia tomatoes weakened considerably the hothouse sales. The latter closed at 1SH centa white Callfornlans went up to $1.60, more sales, however, being made at $1. Valencia oranges are displacing navels tn the market, and some of the best yesterday brought $3.60, selling generally from $a $.25. Some fine new potatoes brought 2 cents and closed firm, despite the faot that this price Is rather above existing rates quoted. Other arrivals yesterday wore: s cars bananas, 1 car new potatoes, 1 car onions, 1 car lemons. ADVANCE IX HOPS LIKELY. Present Business Dull. As IVealera Await Crop Estimates. Many of the dealers In hops were absent In the country yesterday, and those realdmt reported no business. A few old hops changed hands at the same prices existing last week, and the only business In the new crop was that among a few of the more speculative dealers. No inclination Is being observed by the growers to make contracts until more -definite estimates regarding the Oregon crop Is forthcoming All reports are fcr a marked shortness in the Oregon crops which, together with the bullish advices from abroad are making Oregon growers stand for higher prices. EGOS HAVE REACHED TOP JfOTCH. Slight Drop In Price Looked for. As Market Begins to Weaken. Eggs weakened yesterday, although still maintaining tho price of 28 cents a doaen. r"ealers are talking of removing Eastern gge from storage, and while the arrivals of Oregons continue slight, the market has a tendency to wobble. It Is not relieved kithere will be any further Increase in price this week, while a decrease of a cent may pit announced. Poultry arrivals were slight on the street I and BtockB were practically all cleaned up , last night. Springs continued etrong St 19 t cent, while hens weakened a little. Some arrivals of sqpabn cleared readily, while a few ducks were quickly taken up at exist ing price. Cheese arrivals from Tillamook were but slight on the street. A prominent dairy man from Tillamook reported that TUamook stocks were blng rapidly depleted. The prospect for a raise tn price In the course of a few days appears possible, for local stocks are all cleared up and no arrivals are anticipated until late In the week. NEW HAY IS MUCH IN DEMAKO. Rains Play Hnvoc With Crop and None Shows V'nder $'J3. No business in new hay has yet been done on the street or among the dealers. Consumers are anxious to get any good hay that Is on th9 market, and do not seem to mind whether good timothy is Valley or Eastern Oregon. The usual difference be tween the two kinds la not noticeable at present, and dealers expressed themselves as pleased If they could make any purchases of timothy under $23. The rain has made Willamette farmers not inclined to cut. and those already cutting have had a large part of the crop dam aged. Reports from east of the Cascades are the crop Is hardly Injured, and will be ein to move shortly. Up to that time local consumers will have considerable difficulty In satisfying their Immediate requirements, say the dealers. Some small purchases of old bay were made yesterday at $21 and $22, but thoy wore for immediate consumption. Cut In Sugars. Despiw the rapid approach of the can ning sea&pn the wholesale grocery trade yesterday announced a cut of 20 cents on dry granulated sugar. A cut of 16 cents a hundred was made at the same time on fruit and berry sugars. An advanoe of price in coal oil and at! grades of gasoline was announced by the trade yesterday to take effect today. The Increase la half a cent a gallon. Bank Clearings. Clearings of the Northwestern cities yes terday were as follows: -" yes -,, , Clearings.

LIST GENERALLY ADVANCES TTnited States Steel, Reading and Illinois Central Lead Market, and Trading Gains In Confidence. NEW YORK, July 12. The speculation in stocks maintained a waiting attitude today, but there was a more confident mood than was evident last week. The sluggishness of the demand may be attributed to the desire for more assured in formation on the crop out-turn, the present good promise for the grain crops being liable to the vicissitudes of the critical period to be passed through in the next few weeks. Cotton rose again under the influence of fears of harm to that crop. The extremely cautious action of the speculation was well exemplified in the movement of United States Steel. That stock advanced easily to Its previous record level at 09. A recession of In the price seemed to put a stop to the selling. More gold was taken for Argentine. Money continued easy here. Chicago ex change still ruled at a discount, and Sub treasury operations made some requirement on the local banks. The fact that gold, nevertheless, continued to go out is taken to Imply a degree of cur rency inflation. Copper was marked down at the New York metal exchange today. In London a bear covering movement was glvenresponBlbil1ty for a rise In copper se curities. The metal stocks rose in London. Rumors of Union Pacific-Illinois Central deal again benefited the latter stock, and Reading was the subject of a characteristic upward movement. These and the rise In United States Steel had a sympathetic ef fect on the whloe list. Bonds were steady. Total sales, par value. $3,702,000. United States 4s coupons declined i per cent on call.

Dairy Trade Is Brisk, While Mar ket for Grain Remains Firm, Especially- In Wheat- SEATTLE. Wash.. July 12. (Special.) Business opened with a rush on Western avenue today and It was not long before the supply of perishable fruits ws.b completely cleaned up. Higher prices were soon be ing quoted on cherries, raspberries, canta loupes, strawberries and currents. Plenty of cants are en route to this market, but were delayed in transit. Strawberries went to 41.26. Good cherries brought $1 and rasp berries $1.25 to $1.50. Trade In dairy products markets was brisk with the tendency upward. Prospects of heavy shipments of poultry from Oregon as well as from the East and the likelihood of heavier egg receipts tended to keep prices from advancing. Grain markets were firm today, especially on wheat. As high as $1.0 was asked for bluestem on the exchange this morning, but so one would offer above $1.04. QTJOTATIOXS AT SAN FKANCISCO.

SCARCITY IN HOO MARKET. Few Arrivals Expected This Week Prime Stock Not Prominent. The fact that there were no prime pork ers at the yards yesterday tended to strengthen the local hog market, although the market has been soaring for some days. No hogs came in over Sunday, and all Indi cations point to very scant arrivals during this week. - There were not many arrivals of fancy cat tle, and for what few were offered there was a fair demand. Medium grades of beeves were fairly common and the mar ket was not In a receptive mood for the grades. Good quality sheep moved very readily, but as with the cattle, arrivals of high grade stock were scarce and the arrivals of the poorer grades rather hung In the market. Receipts have been falling off for some days In sheep and If an offering had been made of the better stock it would have been cleared readily, said the local dealers. As yet there have been no changes in prioes. A few good lambs moved very readily, with prices generally the same as those ranging Saturday. Receipts at the yards since Saturday were 497 cattle,. 267 sheep and 45 horses. Local prices quoted yesterday were as follows: CATTLE Steers, top. $4.60; fair to good. $44.25: common. $3.754.00; cows, top. $3.50: fair to good. $3(5 3. 2S; common to medium. ,$2.50 ig, 2.75 : calves, top. $55 50 heavy. $3.50iij4; bulls and stags, $3.75(ff3.25: common. $2t2.60 lI?as Best' 8.25B B.SO; fair to good. $7.768; stockers, $6ig)6.50; China fats. $6.757. ..S,S??7-Top wethers. $4; fair to good. $3.5063.75: ewes. c less on all grades: yearlings, best. $4; fair to good, $3-503.75; Spring lambs, $5 5.25.

JULY BID UP TO $1,201-2 Later Deliveries Go to Other Ex treme, Being Brought Down, by Favorable News From Ar gentina Oats Firm. CHICAGO. July 12. Wheat was irregu lar today. July "being strong nearly ail day, while the distant Quotations were weak. Weather conditions in the interior of the wheat belt where harvesting Is in progress, formed the basis of active buying of July, which resulted In the price being advanced to a point and an eighth above the previous hlRh mark for the season. Uurlng the last 48 hours, rains had been general over the central part of the United States. The effect of this advice was to alarm shorts, and cause them to bid eager ly for July. This resulted in an opening bulge in that month of to lc. initial quotations being at $1.19 to fl.20. Other deliveries, however, were less buoy ant In consequence of more favorable1 re ports from Argentine. July at times was affected by the heavi ness of the deferred month's, but sufficient news of a bullish nature was received to hold It firm at a considerable advance. July ranged between -,$1.19 and $1.20. The market closed at $1.19. Light receipts caused firmness in com at the start but the close was weak, with prices unchanged to c lower, July being at 72 c. Oats were Arm at the opening, because of moderate demand, but the market eased oft later. Prices closed a shade higher to lower. Trading In provisions was quiet all day and prices closed 2 to 10c lower than Sat urday's final prices. The leading futures ranged as follows: WHEAT. Open. $1.20 High. $1.20 l.llk 1.09 1.12 CORN.
