and why the packera ahould offer 4 Vi

" Some growers contend that the pack-

the aole object, of caualng the growera
to get excited and hold their 1907 crop
while the packera unload their great
surplus of last year1 a growth. Thla
latter .view eounda Quite reasonable and
thla sort Of game haa been played on
the producer In other marketa besides
prunea. According to Hugh Delacy at
a meeting of the Santa Clara prune

at 4 cent and were aeiiing some or

Thla assertion caused much comment

' The course of the strawberry market
during the past week' was not at all

stock prices never went below 10 cents.

It la expected that last year's production
will be reached.
Dealers Make Offers for-Stock, bat
Cannot Close Any Deals.
t During the paat week there waa an
entire absence of bualnaaa In the local

effort among the dealers to take in
few email lots, at low figures, but
growers were not la a hurry to sell at
tbeaa figures, especially aa they are

generally worth after the new onea

BUTTER MARKET MOVES
Higher Prices Come as a Result of
Greater Demand Than Supply,
There "ls little wonder among the
' trade that creamery butter valuea ad
vanced during . the week. There was
never- a seaaoa when demand for stor
age waa ao great aa thla year. The out
put of the creameries la greater than la
recent years, but the demand Is fully
twice aa heavy. The Fuget aound cities
have been very heavy buyera la thla
market of late, owing to the small of
ferings from the east. Seattle as a rule
buys liberally of both eaatera egga and
butter, the trade there not caring mucfi
for home quality. t
SHOULD SHIP ALL EGGS
Poor .Stock dknsed by Holding for
Large Supplies by Shippers.
Egga are generally lower In value at
the close of the present week than
they were seven days ago. Lower
' prices were made In large lota by deal
ers who had received too liberal aup
pliea. Egga that arrived during the
week were generally of poor quality,
because most country shippers had held
'until they accumulated large auppliea.
The trade haa laeued a warning
against this manner of shipment Eggs
that are kept thla kind Of weather soon
deteriorate In quality, and are there
fore aold at a lower range of-value than
if received ia a fresher atate. Strictly
fresh eggs bring a premium over other
quality. It coats lust aa mucn per case
to ahlp E casea by expreaa as It does
for two. This showa there Is no saving-
but a loss la the holding back of
ablpments. .. , .. .

. -' By -Hyman H. Cohen.
While thee seem, to be a legitimate
demand with legitimate sales on the
local exchange - of Home Telephone
atock at the record price of I42.S0, there
Is evidently some manipulation in Home
bonda. ; Yesterday the aaked price aa
Hated on the exchange had . advanced
I16Q to $85. It waa a fact that thla
same Issue was being, offered to the
trade here around 179. This offering
of Home 6a at $79 waa never Hated on
the local exchange, the price there of
lata not ahowlng any loss 'from $82.60.
The bonda In question were offered o
an official of the local exchange by a
California houae through lta local con
neotlona.
Thla lack of demand for . telephone
bonda' doea not necessarily mean that
they are not good investment Home
eharee are paying 6 per cent. In ordi
nary tlmea this would be considered
very good investment but In these days
when much larger sums are constantly
being made ia other ventures there la a
lack of Inquiry for low Intereat bonds
and stocks.
During the paat week several aales of
Home telephone stock were made at
$42.50, the second price. Brokers at
tribute the general lack of call for
bonda to the fact that the company will
not have a majority of Its Instrumenta
In operation for some time.

The movement of livestock the paat
week waa neither aatiafaotory to ahlp-
per or seller. Even the buyer was dis
appointed with the arrlvaia in the local
yards during the six daya. The arrlvaia
were curtailed oa account of the lack of
cara with which to ahlp. The car situa
tion haa been growing ateadily worse of
late and much complaint Is being made
by livestock men at a result. There la
aome talk of bringing the matter offi
cially to the attention of the atate rail
road commission. The .congestion of
stock at thla end waa even worse than
elaewhere and yard officials and men
were . compelled to work late Into .the

totaled 1.918 bead as against 1,826 head
week ago, 2,827 head this week In 1908
and 4,206 -head for the aame period in

fractional Increase la the run of cattle
over that of at. week ago. Thla week'a
totals were 1,786 head as against 1,717
head a week ago, 431 head a year ago
and 3,378 head for thla week In 1906.

of the publlo has no patience with such

e I Chicago, June 1. In wheat after a
4 I short period of strength to begin with,
. there came very weak apota, aad the
e market oloaed at a decline from to
4l Uo. Improvement of weather appeared
I to bs the only substantial reaaon for
4 the weakness, nut oa tne otner nana
4 there was no startling news of freah
4 damage, and the bulla need to be fed
4 daily on sensations or they pine and
4b leave the herd.
4l Corn had a Mc decline, aad oats fell
A I off from Mo to He.
Provisions, notwithstanding some rea
sons for strength, displayed weakneaa
quite as marked as was being displayed
by the grains.
The market for wheat naa a nrm
start The weather in the weat and
northweat waa extremely favorable, In
asmuch aa there was plenty of mois
ture and somewhat higher tempera
tures. The publlo cables were without
special significance, changes in prices
abroad alnee tne previous aay oe
lng light Receipts in the southwest
wero ss consplcuoualy heavier than
thoae of the year before, aa has Dean
the ease for month a. and tha elevator
stock hers and at other centers were no
mors la demand from mlllera than be
fore. To the widely prevailing feeling
that with bug damage, premature
warmth la March, followed by so much
freeaing weather sine and other unfa
vorable occurrences there was little
hops of anything but a poor yield must
be ascribed the continued demand. The
new feature of bull damage to the
snrlns- wheat waa enough of a novelty
to be one of the reasons for the early
firmness.
Local receipts were 18 ears compared
with 188 year before. Minneapolis and
Duluth received 48$ ears against 189
laat year. Liverpool reported futures
from Hd to Hd higher; Paris was H
higher aad Antwerp without change.
Broomhall reported shipments of 780,000
buahels for -the week vompared with
848,000 bushels laat year. Australian
shipments for the week were $78,000
bushels compared with 128,000 bushela
the year previoue. Broomhall eetlmated
that the world's shipments xor tne week
will be 10,830,000 bushels. Liverpool
stocks of .wheat Increaaed 188,000
bushels and 'flour decreased 4,000 bar
rela since May 1.
Near the . end of tne session July
wheat got down to 8740 and at the
cloae it waa 97 a.
Corn had a firm opening at from Ho
to o over closing figures of the day
before. When weakness struck the
wheat the other cereal waa similarly
affected ao that from S4o and 84He for
July corn at the beginning of the ses
sion it slumped to 834o Inside the firat
hour.
Local receipts were 888 cara, which
waa even more than the large estimate.
Out of this total mentioned 750 cars
were of contract grade. Shipments were
284.000 bushela. Liverpool reported fu
tures Hd higher. Weather in the weat
waa more favorable than of late. While
the market continued rather heavy to
the end it did not follow its leader in
the extremity of that cereal's weakness
and at the close July corn was S$He,
or He down sines yesterday.
Trade in the oats pit waa not up to
the level of the last few daya Trade
dragged and the pries did likewise.

From ths New Broadway Magaifn
An elevator at the rear of the Firat

ernoon.' v-r , - ,(
There were still BO or mors people
present, aad as wo moved from group to
group I caught vividly a reflex of the
spirit of Christian Science health, and
happiness. Voices are pleasantly sub
dued, but merry greetings paaa from
group to group. Eyes are bright faces
freah and smiling, handclasps hearty
and sincere all Is animation, content
ment and good will. ,
Ths Scientist looks yon straight in
the eye, cheerily, hopefully, sincerely,
and he must be a dull or bitterly preju
diced man who can go forth from this
buoyant atmosphere unatrengthened, un
enlivened. uneJevated by Its Invigorat
ing, refreshing atmosphere. There is no
contrast no harshness, no snobbish
ness, no spirit of aloofness or selfish
ness, no aacetlsm. Surely this Is a
pleasant religion; and Its worshipers
are happy looking, healthy looking.
prosperous looking! people.
ordinarily there are few men present
la ths reading-room. But Saturday aft
ernoon you will find hers a orowd of
men from all walks of life aad all ave
