The opening of the salmon fishing season has also contributed to the cash that is now floating around in the channels of trade, and with pork, veal, eggs, poul try and a number of other farm products bringing good prices, the trade situation on the whole is very satisfactory. The wheat market continues very dull, and sales are of email consequence. Potatoes have stiffened up a little in price, owing to light receipts, and a good demand for shipment to the North. The butter mar ket is demoralized, owing to excessively heavy receipts, and no outside demand. In fruit, oranges and bananas continue to fill the bill, although California straw berries are becoming more plentiful and the price is declining. In the grocery markets, an excellent trade Is reported, with no changes of Importance, 'except In sugar, which Is lower. WHEAT The wheat market under ex isting circumstances Is a very "dry sub ject. There was a show of strength yes terday, but this was the first ray of sun shine that has illuminated a very gloomy situation for over a week. In the Port land market, exporters are not making much of an effort to secure wheat, for the reason that It is Impossible to charter ships at a rate which will enable them to come anywhere near meeting the farm ers' views of values. There is one lone disengaged ship In port, and her owners have been holding her at 42a Cd, a rate which, taken In conjunction with the Liv erpool market, would necessitate a man buying wheat at about 50 to SI cents in order to come out even. As dealers find It difficult to do much business on bids of 53 cents, and even M cents. It can readily be seen why they are backward about taking ships at such rates. There have been a few sales this week, at about 53 to 53J4 cents for Walla Walla, and Val ley Is quoted at 52 and 53 cents. There Is considerable wheat on spot, and the only business that Is looked for in the remaining weeks of the old sea son Is the "dribbllngs" which, while of small proportions, taken separately. In the aggregate soon make up a cargo, no matter what the price Is. The flour de mand from the Orient Is easier, and this is making the competition of the mills of a milder typo than It was a short time ago. The condition of the coming crop Is most favorable: In fact. It is as near per fection as It has ever been at this time of year. Throughout the United States the weather conditions have been most favorable. The Cincinnati Price Current, reviewing its crop correspondence for last week, says: "Prevnlllng weather conditions are fa vorable to all growing crops. Rains dur ing the past week have been more or less general, which were very timely In a large portion of the Winter wheat section, and the condition of the wheat plant Is maintaining a promising condition, except in the States of Ohio, Michigan, and In diana, from which section the latest re ports only omphaslze previous low esti mates of condition. The large area of wheat land which is being plowed up in these states Is going mo3tly to oats and corn. There Is very little activity In the interior movement of grain. Where there is a liberal portion of old wheat still held .. hack, such as in Ohio, there Is still a disposition to noia it, wnue in some oi the Western wheat states, notably Kan sas, where the condition of the new crop is very good, the movement is limited, largely because there Is not much left to be marketed. "The favorable outlook for the wheat crop outside of Ohio, Indiana and Michi gan has served to hold speculative senti ment in check concerning this grain. These three states represent nearly all that Is unfavorable and the situation within this area Is indeed seriously un favorable. The mild temperature and moisture. Instead of bringing out evi dences of vitality In the wheat plant, are serving to demonstrate the wide extent to which the crop has been lost In these three states. Spring seeding operations have progressed under generally favor able conditions, and are approaching a close. The start In the Northwest is of such a naturo as to present little or no occasion for complaint. The export move ment of wheat has hardly come up to expectations, and the position of supplies is such as to make It certain that a lib eral excess will remain In this country to augment the incoming harvest." Boerbohm's review of the foreign crop situation on April C said that the weather in the United Kingdom had become more Spring-like. March was the coldest, with four exceptions, for over 20 years. These exceptions were In two cases followed by poor yields. In France it Is impossible to give any estimate of the crop until the weather has developed growing con ditions. In Belgium, Germany and Hol land the weather, has continued to bring about adverse4r?pOE&Itrenpthose sections, and there are increaslnjrcomplalnts. In Austria-Hungary the cold weather has led to considerable activity in wheat 'Re ports from South Russia do not speak un favorably, and the official report says that tho crops Wintered well. The ten dency of the movement of wheat In Rus sia shows that the last estimates were exaggerated. Broomhall. under date of April 10 says: "The Immediate future of the market will likely be dominated by weather condi tions in America and Western Europe. The outlook in France Is very different to what it has been at this time during the past six years (1S37 excepted), and even taking the opinion of the trade or gan devoted to the Interests of French millers, which always takes a hopeful view of the situation, we are inclined to think that prices in France will gradually assimilate to our own, and that before the next harvest In Europe is gathered, British millers will have to contend with the competition of their Gaelic neigh bars." ' "V60L The wool market is in an unset tled state as yet, and prices are strictly nominal. Growers are not offering their stocks, and the Eastern buyers ore hold ing off. Some of the Valley farmers are reported to have placed their limit at 20 cents, a rate which local buyers will not at present consider for a moment, aio - hair is very dull, and It Is hardly prob able that the stocks still unsold will bring as much money as those which have al ready changed hands. The wool market in the East is reviewed by the New York Journal of Commerce, as follows: "There is little activity in the local market, though dealers are of the opinion that Inquiries made lately may lead to something substantial before long. From Boston it is reported that dealers feel confident In a freer buying before long which has been presaged by the entrance of the American Woolen Company into the market for small amounts of desirable stock. As yet there has been no sign of the appearance of this company In the local market, though some of the larger manufacturers have taken sample bag! with the Idea of purchasing if the quality proves satisfactory. Notwithstandlnr these possibilities, the actual transaction, consummated are few and far between. Prices, too, show more or im .Min. and, while It is undoubtedly true thatj FINANCIAL NEWS if manufacturers are in need of wool they will pay dealers" prices, bona fide offers could undoubtedly secure lower prices than those currently quoted, by a little pressure. There are reports of wools sold at a very low figure comDared with re- j cent quotations, while, on the other band, offers have been made which would seem ' to Indicate that buyers are not afraid to pay good prices for good wool. The re port comes from Boston that 1000 bales of good quality scoured B super have been sold at 40 cents. There are circumstances surrounding this sale, however, which would explain this low Drlce. though It is doubtful whether more than 42 cents could be secured under ordinary market condi tions. Pulled wool Is generally considered relatively higher than the majority of other wools which have advanced, though It is not considered probable that they will reach the level touched in 1E97. Some very fine A's have been sold during the week at about 60 cents, which Is consid ered a very favorable price under pres ent conditions. Little or nothing has been" done In Texas wool, though there is more or less Inquiry for good quality, 12 months' wool. A salo of CO.000 pounds of scoured California has been made dur ing the last few days at prices which yield the dealer a good profit. Another sale of 100,000 pounds scoured wool Is said to have been made on relatively a much lower plane. Shearing Is at an advanced stage in a good many sections, and hold ers are very bullish In their Ideas about new wool. The value of wool In the In terior exceeds that at the seaboard mar kets, and Is expected to Increase rather than otherwise." POTATOES-Thcre has been a slight Improvement In tho market for potatoes this week, due principally to very light receipts nd also to a good shipping de mand from outside points. While ship ments to Sari Francisco have fallen off quite perceptibly, there Is still a demand for good stock at slightly better figures than prevailed when shipments were the heaviest. The ordinary run of good Bur banks sell at 45 and 50 cents, but for a choice article raised on upland. 55 and even GO cents Is possible. In a small way. Stocks still held In the country are very large, and bottom land potatoes will not bring much over 25 to 40 cents per sack. Quite a few new potatoes are coming to hand by the California steamers, buj. they are mostly of volunteer growth, and aro In general pretty "cultus" stock. HOPS Complaints of mold on the hops have become more frequent during the past week, and a. considerable quantity has recently changed hands at bargain prices. So far as known, there is noth ing left In the state that would grade strictly first-class, and 5 to 7 cents would probably be an outside figure for the best that are still unsold. Tho stock that has been changing hands this week has ranged In price from $2 per bale to 3 and 1 cents per pound, very little being sold at the top figure. . PORK PRODUCTS Latest advices from the East report the pork product markets as follows: "During the week Just closed, the offer ings of hogs have been well maintained in packing-house centers, and the qual ity has been good. Prices have further advanced, and at the close showed a gain of ft cents per 100 pounds, over the pre ceding week, and 31 75 over last year, 4G per cent gain. As to the Summer supply of hogs, those who aro In close touch with the provision trade, and aro careful ob servers, find It hard to make a reliable forecast, but as a result of careful In vestigation, the conclusion is reached that indications again point to some decrease in the marketable supply of hogs com pared with last year, but probably not so great as some In the trade anticipate." A good business was reported In a gen eral way in pork products, and there were fair supplies and prices ruled steady. An active business was transacted In lard, offerings were liberal, and the demand good, with prices well sustained. During the past week tho ham market has been very active, and while It has been rather unsettled, tho prospects for higher prices- In the near future aro good, as the season for large consumption In this line Is Just opening, and prices as compared with beef are low. Other smoked meats havo sold freely at prices which have been, too low as com pared with those of hogs, but a decided advance in the near; future is looked for. BUTTER This Is the season for "grass butter," and It Is pouring into Portland at a rate that Is distressing for tho deal ers, who are at their wits ends to know what to do with the surplus. Some of the full-weight fancy select stock, with an established trade. Is still moving In a small way at 40 cents. A considerably greater portion of the receipts are going at 37 cents, and at 35 cents choice cream ery butter as good as there Is made can be purchased by the ton. Creamery sec onds sell down around 30 cents, and store Is going better, proportionately, than creamery, by moving at 20 to 25 cents, according to quality, color and previous environment EGGS The ess market has stiffened up materially since Easter, and sales were made yesterday as high as 13 cents. This price was paid for single case lots occasionally, but In round lots they were still obtainable at 12Vi and 13 cents. There is an excellent shipping demand to the North, at the present time, and the San Francisco market is also giving signs of further advances. Receipts have fallen away materially, and as the cold-storage men ore taking tho surplus at present prices, a decline Is not looked for very soon. POULTRY Some choice dressed tur keys sold yesterday at 18 cents, and as high as 20 cents was paid Tuesday. There CULUSON&CO. . Stock, Grain and Provision BROKERS Direct Wires to New York Stock Exchange Chicago Board of Trade 214-215 Chamber of Commerce Portland, Oregon are very few now coming to hand that are In good condition, and these prices, of course, cannot be obtained for the ordi nary run of turkeys obtainable at this time of year. Live In good order will sell readily at 15 cents. Chickens are bring ing good prices. Old hens of good size and condition will bring $5 50 and 36 per dozen, and coops of large ratxed birds sell up around $5 per dozen. Springs of good size sell at 34 to 35 per dozen, but the market on "peepers" Is very slow at your own price. Geese are In fair demand at JS and 110 per dozen.

Violent Fluctuations in Sairnr Un settled Other Markets. NEW TORK. April 23. The stock market was In large part confined to Sugar today, the feverish and violent fluctuations In which kept affairs so unsettled that the operators hesi tated to make ventures, and the volumo of dealing fell to small proportions. There was no actual news developed to account for Su gar's erratic course, though th boardroom was flooded with rumors all day of a settle ment of the trade war, absorption of rival refineries and so forth. It was pretty evi dent that these were set afloat by the manip ulators for a rise, which was directed against the short Interest, reported to be largely con centrated In Boston, The stock sold am low as 10S on supposed Indications of development In the trade war. It closed at a net gain of 2- The general market sold oft after the open ing. In sympathy with the break In Sugor, which effectually dominated the tone of the market all day. When Sugar rebounded, the room traders all turned to tho bull side, and kept prices up on a small volume of deallnr. There were, movements In special stocks de signed to help on an advance, notably In Mis souri Pacific. Pennsylvania. Wabash preferred and tha grangers, but It was noticeable that the buying demand shoved a marked falling off on any advance. Many buying orders cams In on the early decline, but later In the u, the market continued dull. The apathy or the demand caused realizing by the room ..Ad en, and a late reaction, which- wiped out many of the gains. Tho closing was easy. and the net results for the day were much mixed. The Introduction In Congress of a resolution for a committee to Investigate the Steel A Wire episode and the New Tork Stock Exchange may have had some Influence In the lato re actions. The announcement of a small en gagement of gold for Europe had little Influ ence. The amount, $250,000, Is bellered to be destined for Parts. The sterling exchange rate was easier, de mand falling c This leaves the question of further gold exports more doubtful again. The lack of a fast steamer this week Is offered by some bankers as a reason tor refraining from shipping gold during the period. Dis counts in London were slightly easier 'today, but money In New Tork also showed further relaxation, loans for 00 to 80 days being quoted at 3 per cent, and four to six months' at 3V4 on mixed collateral. The gain, by tho banks from the Subtreasury since last Friday al ready amounts to over $2,000,000. Bat the Subtreasurys debit balance at the clearing house fell today below $1,000,000 for the flnt time In several weeks, except for one special operation Intervened. The disbursements on account of Government bond premiums from the Subtreasury are. In fact, declining, and this source of replenish ment to the money market Is likely to be closed soon. A sharp fall In New Tork exchange at Chicago was also an rncldent of the day. The bond market was rather quiet. Total sales. I1GS0. United States 3s declined H hi the bid price, BONDS. U.
