cands of dollars in acquiring lands. This
money rapidly finds its way into the chan
nels of trade, and is having an apprecia
ble effect in many directions. Bank
clearings are the largest on record for
& corresponding period, and distributive
trade was never better.
Aside from some weakness in wool and
wheat, farm products are commanding
Kood prices, and receipts are quite lib
eral. The Ban Francisco demand for
potatoes continues heavy, and each
steamer leaving- here carries several
thousand sacks to the California mar
kets. Oregon fruit is not yet In evidence
except In a small way. A few crates of
strawberries are coming In from Hood
Blver. The Dalles and Southern Oregon.
They are very fine stock, and command

an easier demand. Pork is stlU firm.
There Is a good shipping demand for but-
ter. and this has firmed up prices a lit
tle. Eggs are weak and lower. Groceries
are firm, with no change In prices, ex
cept in package coffees, which are 12
cents lower.
WHEAT The wheat market seems to
toe suffering from a lack of interest. There
is very little speculation In the cereal,
nd but a feeble effort is made on this
side of the water to withstand the con
stant hammering of the European buy
ers. There has been such a thorough
clean-up made of stocks in the Pacific
Northwest that sales are seldom reported,
and the bulk of the offerings are- taken
up by Interior millers. Not being pressed
for wheat, local exporters are not putting
out limits so much In excess of the export
value as they were a short time ago.
T1fty-nlne cents Is still quoted for "Wal
la Walla, but there is nothing selling
at that figure. Nearly all of the recent
advance in the European market has
been absorbed by freights, which are
about as firm as they were a year ago,
when there was the largest carry-over
stock on record to be moved. Thus far
0 shillings has not been paid for new
crop ships, but a number have been tak
en at 39s 6d, and owners are now de
manding 40 shillings and better for ships
as far away as December. The flour
trade with the Orient continues in a very
demoralized condition, and this is reduc
ing the demands of the mills for wheat
and assisting the exporters in maintain
ing their attitude of independence, tor
there is no fight between the millers and
the exporters for the comparatively small
lots offering, the millers securing it with
out much opposition.
The condition of the growing crop con
tinues perfect and the warm rain yester
day will do much toward putting the
Spring crop in the came excellent condi
tion as that of the Winter wheat. The
threatened damage to the German- crop
seems, to -have vanished -for the .present
and there is little or nothing of an unfa
vorable nature in the outlook in America
tow that 'the California damage has been
.eliminated from the question. That state
was dangerously near to another crop
failure, but fine rains have worked won
ders with the crop, and the yield prom
ises to be sufficiently large to require a
.great deal more tonnage than Is now
headed in that direction. This situation
has caused sharp advances in both
frights-and grain bags, and a reflection

Statistician. Brown, of the New York
Produce Exchange, has figured out the
3801 "Winter wheat crop, based on the
Department of Agriculture report for
April, at 438,139,000 bushels, on an acreage
May 1 of 28,267,000.. This estimate, of
course, will be cut down later, as crop
damage reduces the area to be harvested.

BARLEY AND OATS-The slump of
ever $2 per ton on barley In the San Fran
cisco market does not seem to have had
any effect on the situation in the North,
and stocks in this vicinity are pretty well
cleaned up. Best feed Is still in demand
at 517 and $17 50 per ton, and brewing Is
nominally the same. The difference be
tween the San Francisco and Portland
markets. Is becoming so great that It
would not be surprising if some of the
California stock was shipped north -before
the new crop comes In. Oats are about
as thoroughly cleaned out as barley, and
the few still in the country command pret
ty good figures hlte 'moving at $1 35
snd $1 40 "per ceirtstp&nd gjfay and mixed
at 51 SO and $132 per cental.
WOOIr-:There is no improvement in the
price of wool locally, but there seems to
"be a little more disposition on the part
of growers to let go of their holdings. A
number of round lots have changed hands
recently at about quotations, and now
that shearing Is pretty well along, an ac
tive movement is expected. The condi
tion of the Eastern market is thus set
forth by the New York Journal of Com
merce under date of May 33:
"Very little if and change has occurred
in the wool market for the past week.
Prices have softened somewhat, owing to
light demand for all grades. Business in
Boston has been very quiet, sales for the
past week only amounting to 2,000,000
pounds all told, with prices slightly off.
Sellers are reported to be willing- at pres
ent to accept offers from buyers which
were refused last week. Buying In the
West has continued at prices about equiv
alent to those In this market, with the
demand light, and business not quite as
active as It was. The softening of prices
in certain quarters has been attributed
by some to the action of many firms in
awaiting a rise in the London market.
Reports from that market received today
show the demand to have been general,
with prices holding up well. This, it was
thought, would cause mills which have
been holding off in this country to be
come active purchasers on the strength of
a better business outlook.
"Some firms report sales on fine-grade
wools at prices about the same as those
of last week with the outlook promising
on future orders at slightly advanced
prices."
HOPS The condition of the market is
attracting but little attention at the pres
ent time, and very little .new business
is coming to light. Growers are not in
clined to make new contracts, with the
market as firm as it is at present. Deal
ers on the other hand are not quite so
eager now that the crop is promising
so well, and prospects favor a yield which
might be too large for the good of prices.
Eastern markets are quiet.
In Its last Issue the WatervIle (N. Y.)
Times has the following: "There has
been one small sale since our last: W.
TEL Bensted sold 13 bales at 33c. Hops
In the yards are coming along nicely.
They were held back by the cold weather,
but under the influence- of the bright days
lately they are growing rapidly. An
to draw out large quantities, and thus
far there is no sign of a shortage. New
potatoes are daily becoming more plen
tiful, and the .quality is improving with
the arrival of each steamer. New Cali
fornia onions are also becoming plenti
ful, and are selling at about half the
price asked for the small stock of Ore
gon onions still on hand. The latter are
selling at about $4 50 per cental.
VEAL AND FOR As fruit becomes
more plentiful and "cheap, the demand for
meats cages off, and the public seems to
have become especially tired of eating
veaL The price has fallen away from
9 and 9J cents to 8 cents and less. Re
ceipts have been large, and demand light,
and large veal Is selling as low as 6
cents. Pork retains considerable strength,
and sales are still being made as high
as VJz cents for best block hogs, although
much of the stock that is offering sells
for less.
BUTTER With creamery butter In
good demand for shipment to Alaska and
for Government use, and San Francisco in
the market for the surplus of store but
ter from this port, the market is show
ing decided firmness for this season of
the year. As yet no effort has been
made to advance prices, but a few sales
are made in excess of the regular quoted
rates of 174 cents for creamery. Store
butter for shipment to California sells
readily at 12 cents per pound, and dairy
is In demand at 1314 cents per pound.

- NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
Further
Progress To-ward Normal
Conditions.
NEW YORK. May 16. There wa6 a still
further lapse of Interest in the stock
market today as shown by the decline
in the volume of dealings to less" than
a million shares. The market 'also gave
evidence of further progress toward normal-conditions.
There was still a rather
feverish price movement, but the oscilla
tions showed a lessening tendency.
These are phenomena which Invariably
follow a panic. Usually the first violent
relapse after the first rebound do not
carry prices back as low as the panic
level, nor do the rebounds reach as high
as the previous, level. After a violence
of the fluctuations has subsided there
Is likely to be a dull period and a ten
dency to a level much lower unlees some
new factors of strength develop to re
awaken outside buying demand. Today
the speculative contingent, were Inclined
to look for such a new -influence to the
promised settlement of the Northern Pa
cific dispute. No authentic Information
had been had as to the terms of this
EGOS For some unknown reason, the agreement, .but It Is-generally accepted In
egg market is in a very weak condition,
and, with very heavy receipts and a mod
erate demand, prices have tumbled un
til the stock was easily obtainable yes
terday at 12 cents for round lots, with
reports that even lower figures were be
ing quoted. In single case lots, 12 and
13 cents Is still the ruling figure. The
local demand Is light, and there Is but
little call from outside points. It is be
lieved that prevailing prices will result
in Increased quantities going Into cold
storage.
POULTRY Old chickens and large fry
ers are firming up again, and are bringing
good prices. There is an overstock of
undersized springs on hand, however,
and some of these "peepers" were sold
yesterday as low as $1 25 per dozen. Re
ceipts are heavy, but there are no indi
cations of a break in select stock. Ducks
and geese are dull at quotations, geese
being especially quiet. For good condi
tioned, neatly dressed hen turkeys there
Is a limited demand at 14 to 16 cents, but
gobblers, either live or dressed, are not
wanted.

Wall street that It will insure the safe
guarding of Interests which deem them
selves threatened by the Burlington deal
virlthout detracting- from the benefit of
the deal to its original projectors.
The rapid progress .reported to be mak
ing In the deposit of Burlington stock
to vbe exchanged for the proposed- new
bonds seem to Insure the rapid consum
mation of the Burlington deal. The ef
fect of this development was most mani
fest in St. Paul and Northern , Pacific.
Northern Pacific, owing to the abnormal
standing of that stock in the market, was
not an Index to the situation. The pro
cess of exchange going on In the Burling
ton stock affects it to- some extent in
the same way. The advancing tendency
in Union Pacific was constantly checked,
supposedly by the surmises as to the
methods of financing the purchases ,of
Northern Pacific stock made In the com
pany's interest. The advances In St.
Paul over last night's level reached 7,
in Great Northern preferred, 6; North
western, 6 and Rock, Island 4.
Another active center of speculation
was Amalgamated Copper, in which the
buying was large apparently by Inside
Interests, and regarding' which various
favorable Items of news were published
during the day. The most important was
the reported Intention of the Vice-Chancellor
of New Jersey to dissolve the in
junction against the absorption of the
Butte & Boston and the Boston & Mon
tana companies'. The stock advanced at
one time 7. There were various other
points of ..'special strength, the causes
of which were not. always disclosed.
Thus International Power advanced
10; Minneapolis & St. Louis, 7, and
on expectations of a dividend Inorease;
American Express, 9; Consolidated Gas,
B;.Lake Erie & Western, 5; Iowan Cen
tral preferred, 5, and Pullman, 4. The
relaxation of forces by liquidation made
comparatively light buylng-orders effec
tive fn advancing prices. '
There was undoubtedly a good deal of
manipulation by Insiders In the Interest
of better prices, but there was also a
growth in Investment demand for good
dividend payers. But not lees striking
than the strength with which prices ad
vanced was the ease with which prices
were forced down again under very light
selling with prices all the way from one
to five points below the best and with net
changes a good deal mixed and for the
most part small. Reports of needed re
duction in the Southwest were an early
encouraging feature and growth of labor
troubles caused some Uneasiness, espec
ially the candid admission by the leading
publication in the Interest of the Iron
trade that there may be widespread labor
disturbances in that trade after July 1.
The ease in the money market was due
entirely to the falling off in demand and
speculative lessening as other causes are
tending to a steady depletion of New
York bank reserves.
The bond market was broad and moder
ately active and price changes were ir
regular. Total eales, $2,845,000. United
States bonds were all unchanged on the
last call. r
BONDS.
Was rather more cheerful and only one
small failure was announced as the re
sult of the difficult settlement recently
fcompleted.. It Is thought that all other
troubles of this character hive been
averted.
The American department was particu
larly Idle, the arbitrageurs doing very
little. On the street nothing was done.
Prices, however, moved within a much
narrower xange, about V& points on the
average. Union Pacific relapsed on lbcal
sales. The copper fortnightly statistics
shoved stocks down 459-tons and sup
plies 784.

Chicago Grain and Provisions.
CHICAGO, May 16. Rains In Oklahoma
and Texas were takea In tlje wheat pit as
justifying a lower level bf prices, and
July at the opening was offered liberally,
ig;c to c lower, at 7171c. At
71c some buying orders were reached, and
were steady. Northwest receipts were
moderate, and there was an unexpectedly
stlffer demand for May. July rallied io
71c during the first hour.
The demand for May. which raised that
delivery to c premium over July, at one
time, waa reported to be due to the neces
sities of New York shorts and -not to ex
port sales, as had been thought at first.
This explanation caused a slight reaction
and the remainder of the day the market
ruled dull, and at times entirely neglect
ed. The close was rather easy, July c
lower at 71&71c. May closed with
c off Its premium still held.
In corn the expected squeeze In May
did not materialize. On the contrary,
the bull leader was credited with liberal f
sales of that option, as well aa of July.
May opened unchanged at 68c. and under
selling by Phillips dropped to 55c. A rally

IRON AND STEEL TRADE.
Market Is Quieter Apprehension of
Labor Troubles.
NEW YORK,, May 16. The Iron Age
today says of conditions In the Iron
trade: Taken as a whole the Iron mar
kets have quieted down considerably and
it seems likely that some time may
elapse before buyers and sellers get to
gether on the question of the basis for
the second half of the year. In some
sections and In some branches sellers
show some uneasiness which points to
concessions In order to start the buying
movement for the third and fourth quar
ters. The effect of the flurry In stocks has
probably not been measured yet. It will
cut off many wildcat enterprises, which
is an advantage rather than a drawback..
On the other hand, some buyers show a
disposition to hold off In order to watch
developments.
It Is a significant fact that the agri
cultural implement makers continue in
the market for supplies for the future,
notably charcoal, pig iron and steel bars,
thus showing that the one Industry which
la nearest to the farming Interests en
joys unshaken confidence. Some uneasi
ness Is created by the danger of wide
spread labor disturbances. The situation
created by the demands of the machin
ists may develop awkward phases, and
there Is a feeling that in the territory
partially controlled by the Amalgamated
Association of Iron and Steel Workers
there may possibly be trouble after July
1. Labor--generally Is reported to be
scarce and seems Inclined to be aggres
sive. Some good contracts have been
placed for welded pipe, and quite con
siderable quantities of structural mate
rial have been placed. It is noteworthy
that prices abroad for bridge work have
declined so much lately that American
companies are practically withdrawing
from the competition. This we under
stand to be the case with the Clyde con
tract, which involves about 9000 tons, and
with, the Copenhagen and Amsterdam
draw bridges, both large structures.
The steel rail trade has quieted down,
as was expected. We understand that
the arrangements for the next fiscal
year have been under consideration, In
connection with which the announcement
is significant that Jones & Laughlins.
Ltd., are to build a mill for rolling rails.
The Dominion Company, at Sydney, Is
also reported to be placing orders for
rail-mill machinery. How rapidly condi
tions have changed is Illustrated by the
fact that foreign old steel rails and old
Iron rails are now being: offered for im
portation. It was not so long since
that the export trade In this branch was
flourlshinjr. It should be noted, however.
thai the foreign prices are still so much
'"above our market as to put business out
of the question.

the fact that at London an advance of
15s was scored, our market at the start
showed weakness and was 510 points
lower. Following this, however, the mar
ket became exceptionally active and prices
quickly reacted under an avalanche of
buying orders, sending prices to a level
25 to 40 points above last night's ,close be
fore a breathing spell was taken. The
market closed very strong at 526 5026 73.

Crops of India.
LONDON, May 16. The failure of the
Spring crops In India is already severely
felt. Lord George Hamilton, the Indian
Secretary, In the House of Commons
today said that the number of persons
now receiving relief was 381,000, and it Is
expected to Increase rapidly.
Cotton Steady.
NEW YORK, May 16. Cotton closed
steady, 2 points higher.
Mad Humanity.
PORTLAND, May 16. The rapid in
crease of insanity in this country
Is beginning to cause widespread
alarm. In 1860 there were in round num
bers 42,000 Insane of all classes In the
United States. Since that period the num
ber has Jumped to the frightful aggre
gate of 230,000 wholly out of proportion
to the Increase of population, and thes$
figures do not Include the large number
of deranged persons who commit suicide
outside of Insane asylums.
Among the Indians, Eskimos, and the
savages of Africa's black forest, there are
no Insane, while in our own sparsely
settled state of Oregon with 400,000 popu
lation, we have 1200 now confined In
one plant, most of them helpless and hope
less lunatics. In New York and New Eng
land things are even worse than this.
