COMMERCIAL AND
Heavy receipts of fruit -were again the
principal feature of trade In the commission-house
portion of Front street yes
terday, and some liberal concessions were
made on some of the ripest, in order to
clean it up. Peaches are coming in In
large Quantities from California, and Ore
gon growers have also commenced ship
ping in the early varieties. Another car
load of bananas arrived yesterday, and
as they were not so ripe as those which
have been reaching Portland earlier in
the week, they met with a good recep
tion. General trade was reported excel
lent on the street, but aside from pro
duce and wheat, price changes were few
In number. The wheat markets were
lower all round.

PORTLAKD MARKETS.
Grain, Flour, Etc.
The Portland wheat market Is lower In
sympathy with other markets. This sym
pathy is not asserting itself to the limit,
for It Is still possible to secure quota
tions of 58 and 59 cents for Walla Walla,
a decline of only about a cent, while
other markets are off from 34 cents per
bushel. No sales of consequence were re
ported yesterday, and buyers are -waiting
for matters to settle before they attempt
to do much business. Freights continue
very firm, with no new tonnage offering.

JTEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
Drealc In Wheat Causes a Bulge In
Stocks.
. KBW YORK. June 28. The stock, mar
ket showed symptoms during the early
hours of the trading today of having
fallen back Into the condition of lethargy
and sagging prices, which marked the
trading last week. But the large out
standing short account showed Itself very
sensitive to developments in the wheat
market. With the continued fall In price
of that cerpal. reports of the enormous
quantities of wheat thrown upon tho
market to liquidate, the courage of tho
bears oozed out af the tips of their
fingers, and they scrambled to cover their
short contracts in the late dealings with
considerable precipitancy. The result was
a strong closing at the top level, with
the rally still in force, and at a level of
prlcesfrom 1 to 2 points over last night
for many active stocks. The bears were
In .full retreat all through tho list, even
B. & O. turning from its persistent down
ward course with a rally of three points
from the early decline. Sugar. Brooklyn
Transit, People's Gas and American To
bacco all made notable upward move
ments, the latter apparently on a belated
appreciation of yesterday's dividend dec
laration. While the break in the wheat market
was unquestionably the dominant Influ
ence, there were other points, of strength
which radiated a favorable Influence.
The -coalers advanced on the rise in
price nf anthracite. The Southwestern
FINANCIAL NEWS:
stocks moved upwards la company on,
the more favorable prospects of the Tex
as cotton crop, compared with that In
other cotton states, on the large Winter
wheat crop, and on hopes of the corn
crop. Estimates by a Western trade
journal, that the Winter wheat crop and
the wheat reverses would make up the de
ficiency In the shortage in the Spring
wheat crop, had much to do with the
day's movement, both in wheat and rail
road stocks. It was made evident that
prices of stocks have not only kept pace
with a damage to wheat but have been
discbunting continued deterioration. Tho
rains In the Northwest caused a sharp
check to the speculation on this basis.
The iron and steel stocks showed decid
ed strengtlu
The money market continued quite un
ruffled. The decline in exchange was
checked today with the sharp advance in
call loans in the London market, and the
marking up by quarter penny of the
Bank of England's price for gold and for
American Eagles. Tho decline In ex
change is said to have been caused by
the coming -upon the. market of long
sterling bills, which have been held for
maturity, and are now being sold as sight
bills. As they had figured meantime as
collateral for loans, their liquidation now
Involves tho paying off of loans, and may
help to account for the current ease of the
money market.
The bond market was not active, but
prices were firm. Total sales, par value.

NEW TORK. Juno 2S. The Commercial
Advertiser's financial cablegram says:
The news of the relief of Admiral Sey
mour's party caused a slight flutter In
the market here today, but operators
were soon absorbed again in the uncer
tainties of the situation, and the market
relaDsed Into stagnation. Americans see
sawed within narrow limits, and dealings
In them were meager. x
The bank sold 14.000 gold in French
coin, and lost 20,000 to the Continent A
large business was done in loans at 3H
oer cent. There were no discounts to
speak of, a fact which was regarded as
significant, in view of the absence of an
increase in the supply of other securi
ties shown In the bank returns. Bills,
accordingly, were down.
It has transpired that the recent buy
ing of silver was not by the Govern
ment, but by local houses on account of
the monsoon and the Chinese difficulties,
but Government buying Is expected at
any time.

Chicago Grain and Produce.
CHICAGO, June 23. There are nearly
fourhours to the regular sessions of the
Board wf Trade, and thoBe hours today
were occupied .principally in getting rid
of recently acquired wheat. The market
opened lower because Liverpool was
down, and the long pressure was on the
market. Under a demand from Wall
street and the Northwest, and some cov
ering by shorts the market regained the
initial dip, and this and a lot more was
lost later. Local longs of the Influential
type started the market In Its weakened
condition, and simply choked up the open
ing through which much high-priced stuff
has recently disappeared. Outside longs
on. "the decline Joined the ranks of se.llers,
and the market became so one-sided that
it dropped 4&c, with only momentary
checks.
The bottom was reached near the end
of tho session, and covering by shorts
caused a little" recovery, but not suffi
cient in amount to relieve the market
of the charge of' decided weakness. The
August option was the more active, al
though July was anything but slow. Au
gust closed 3 down at 81. July closed
2 lower, at 80c There were rains iv
North Dakota and Manitoba, but private
advices from these sections and other
parts of the stricken Northwest did not
vary much from the recent tone.
The Price Current made the total esti
mate of crop. Winter and Spring, $50,000.
000 bushels, 200,000.000 bushels of It Spring,
compired with Statistician Snow's -estimate
of 460,000,000 bushels. It declared
that, with the reserve supply, the crop
would be equal to the demand, and that
the crop yield would be 5 per cent higher
than the average for the past five years.
However, crop considerations generally
were overshadowed by the selling,, which
appeared to. be the result of a general
desire to get out before the price got any
lower.
Corn was rather quiet, but, considering
the wheat weakness, it was firm. August
closed 0bC depressed, at 434;' July
closed 4c lower, at 421.
Oats were steady early, but yielded
some later out of sympathy with wheit.
July closed c lower, at 24c
Provisions were weak, despite light hog
receipts. A drive was made at pork by
longs, and the whole list, as usual, suf
fered The wheat weakness was a factor
In the decline. There was a fair cash
demand, but It was not equal to the task
of susutalning prices against the Influen
tial selling of today. At the bottom the
market steadied in covering by shorts.
September pork closed 22&c down, and
lard and ribs 12c down.

IRON AXD , S TEEL
Prices Are
Demoralised and
Far-
BBcei Are Closed. " ,
NEW YORK, June 23. AbcordlDSr to
the Iron Age, -In its weekly review of
the Iron and steel situation, it is idle to
Attempt to disguise the fact that the
.eituatlo'n in the. iron trade has been grow
ing woreo instead of Detter. That pper,
after thua declaring its views, says:
The redactions in prices which have
thus far been made have not served
their purpose In bringing the great body
of consumers Into the market. -They con
tinue to withhold their orders and it
will probably take some definite -developments
of a favorable character to Induce
the placing of any considerable business.
Instead of favorable developments, we
have had for some time a succession of
unfavorable influences. Among " these,
the drought in the Northwest Is just now
exerting a particularly distressing effect.
If conditions in that section were as they
should be at thlsl season, the great im
plement manufacturers would undoubted
ly have placed orders to cover the ma
terial they need In making up Imple
ments for next 'year, while other Im
portant consumers having considerable
outlets In that direction would have un
doubtedly been good buyers of iron and
steel.
A, meeting of leading Iron arid steel
makers was Tield in this city on Tuesday
and Tvhlle the nominal Plttelburg'-prices
of ?20 for Bessemer Iron and &f for
Bessemer billets were not changed It 4s
noted that the market Is now an open
on and that pig iron and steel are both
being offered at much- lower prices.
The plan of bavinsg a fixed price on pig
Iron and steel and then selling at lower
prices is not helping the- market, but
is hurting It. It is realized that prices on
pig Iron, steel and finished products must
get down to a solid basis before business
will start up. Tho fact must not be' over
looked that a restriction of production
is taking place, with the possibility that
Jn a short time the supply of various
kinds of material will be round shdrply1
reduced. It Is estimated tha-t at least 20
blast furnaces making foundry irdn.have
been blown out In the post two months.
Southern blast furnaces are belnsr banked
because of labor troubles, and fear Is
expressed that a aatlsfactory arrange
ment cannot be made, but that quite a
number of funnaces will be compelled
to shut down to await a settlement.
Ohio and Western Pennsylvania" furnac
es are also being blown out or banked
because of accumulations of stocks which
carmot bo moved. The iallurer to agree
on the wage schedule for the coming
year In Western rolling mills will cause
the closing of a considerable number of
establishments of this kind after July L
The effect of low prices in plate is seen
In the stoppage of a large Western plate
mill because of inability to meet present
maricoT prices witnout joss.
An important development In the metal
market has been the sharp advance in
the price of pig lead. Two advances have
been made during the week, aggregating
10 per ton, presenting a marked con
trast to the recont courso In prices hi
this commodity. Spelter also manifests
an -upward tendency.
