Several dealers -were short and the product was not as plentiful on Front street as here tofore. Butter had Its' usual good mar ket and considerable quantity Is still go ing Into cold storage. Poultry showed no recovery, buyers evidently being satisfied by their recent large purchases. Straw berries declined only a, little from quo tations of the preceding day. Califor nia fruits are plentiful, but consumption Is held back by cool weather. Oregon potatoes are getting scarcer each day and stiffening in price. Domestic cabbage and peas have begun to come In more freely. Dressed meats have a much easier market than last week. -Supply of bananas will be on hand this morning. Clearing-House Statement.

There was a number of soft spots in the wheat market again yesterday, and locally there is so little doing that quo tations are of small value. The top quo tation obtainable for the exporters is about 50 cents for "Walla "Walla, but no sales were reported yesterday, and where small lots are taken up for milling pur poses, higher figures are generally de manded by the holders. The Eastern mar ket opened up about the same as the day before, and, after taking a gentle slump, wobbled back where It opened. The freight market Is about as uninter esting as the wheat situation, and no new transactions are reported. The ships in port will all be away In about a week, and while the demand for tonnage later on Is not very urgent Portland exporters could probably load two or three spot ships to advantage If they were obtain able.

XEW YORK STOCK MARKET. Many' Gains Won Early In the Bay Were Lost Toward End of Session. NEW YORK, June 12.-The stock mar ket fell -lnto semi-stagnation m- the-lat- FINANCIAL NEWS ter part of the day, and the gains which were established in the morning were pretty generally wiped out under the drib ble of selllHg orders which came-upon a market almost .bare of demand. Various points of strength made their appearance In the course of the day, but they lost their Influence- in sustaining prices.. , The more Cheerful feeling at London was quite aVnoticeable Influence -in. the opening dealings. Humors have been very persistent for several days now thrit'peace Is approaching: Jn South Africa. To ap preciate the importance of an adjustment of the long-drayrn-out struggle there, that Is for the worfd of capital. It must" be borne In mind what ,enormous demands the British Government makes on accumulat ed capital for the cdnduct of the war, and how an Important part of the world's gold product Is cut off while the war lasts. The large disbursements- by the govern ment on war account, combined with transfers of Russian-deposlts from Paris, Is what has given theLondon money mar ket its present ease and has led to some expectation that the governors of the Bank of England wllF further reduce the minimum discount rate at tomorrow's weekly session. A 10 per cent Installment, amounting to $30,000,000, of subscriptions to the new consol Issues' due next week, and the demand for money which results, Is a factor against the reduction In the bank rate. In the local market the Lon don Influence soon spent Itself. The m6st notable feature 'of the market was Missouri Pacific atid Pennsylvania, which each rose as much as 2 at one time. The supposition Is that the Mis souri Pacific directors will mee't next Mon day and put the stock on a '5 per cent baslsl. Stocks of affiliated companies showed some sympathy, especially the Denver & Rio Grande stocks. The move ment in Pennsylvania was due. to 'the report of the acquisition of the Pennsyl vania Steel Company by the railroad com pany to safeguard Jts steel rail supply. The United States Steel stocks were,, rath er significantly; heavy, but the stock of Independent companies shot up In a striking manner. -The movement in Colo rado Fuel was sensational, the extreme rise reaching 15. and the jumps between sales reaching as much as 2 points." A violent reaction left the stock only 8 net gain. t Tennessee Coal rose 4, and the Amer ican Car stocks, the Republic Iron and Steel stocks, Sloss-Scheffield and Smelt ing between 1 and 2 points. The dealing in Colorado Fuel was for Chicago account. National Lead continued to show trie ef fect of the expected benefits from a Standard, Oil control of American Lin seed. The public utilities were strong on the hope of escape from the provision of the franchise tax. Northwestern preferred recovered 7 points of yesterday's 13 points loss. Movements of significance outside these stocks were confined to a few rare ly active stocks, Mexican Central in come bonds were In good demand, but the general bond market was dull and irregular. Total sales,' par value. $3,965,000. United States bonds were all unchanged on the last call. BONDS. u. s. ref. 2s 1063J do coup 107V Gen.

July sold at the beginning of the session i&c higher, at 7171c, but the inir provement diminished under the better crop conditions and determination on the part of the pit. operators to take profits on the advance over yesterday's close. Steadily the price declined to 70c. At this point the short Interest began cover ing and a rally to 70&??70c ensued. This upward movement was inspired In some degree by ,the strength in September wheat, and July held steady to the close, which was c lower, at 7070c. September wheat was fairly active, and sold between 6Sc and 69c, and closed firm, at c higher, at 69&c. Abundant moisture and sufficient warmth for growing corn, with Indifferent demand for shipping, caused corn to rule heavy at a slight decline most of the session. July closed c lower, at 42c. Trading in oats was moderately active and narrow. July closed c lower, at 27&c. . Provisions were firm in the early part of the session on higher prices for hog's and lighter receipts at the yards.

BOSTON, June 12.-The American Wool ahd Cotton Reporter will say tomorrow: There Is a slightly better feeling In the wool trade, as the result of the improved changes noted 'n the goods market. The demand has been more general this week than It has been for some time, both the large and small mills being rep resented In the market. The purchasing, however, has been very small lots, which In ,the aggregate make a fair average volume of business. The feeling In the trade la that business Is going to grow broader steadily, although perhaps slow ly. For fine wools there is a good In quiry, and the statistical position of such stock is strong. Prices, therefore, are firmly held. Coarse and low wools also are lather steadier. There has been no decline as far -as can be learned. The earlier shorn wools In Wyoming have been pretty well cleaned up, and many buyers have left there. Montana will be the next scene of operations. The sales of the week at Boston amqunt. ed to 2,990,000 pounds domestic and 315,000 pounds foreign, making a total of 3,305.000 pounds, against a total of 3.785,000 pounds for the previous week and a total of 2.053.000 pounds -for the corresponding week last year. The sales since January 1 amount to 98,217,000 pounds, against 63, 247,000 pounds for the corresponding time last year. SAN FRANCISCO MARKETS. SAN FRANCISCO, June il2.

Beech-Street Conduit Will Not Aver age Over ?40 East Side Notes. The cost of the Beech-street sewer sys- tern to the lotowners will not exceed, the estimate made by City Engineer Chase. According to the contract let for the con struction of this system the cost will aver age 540 to lots abutting on the main con duits, and from 520 to ?25 to lotowners remote from the conduits. These "figures are nearly .identical, with those given out by the City Engineer as the approximate cost. He did not give exaet figures, as the cost could not be figured 'so close. These are sufficient to discredit the re port that It would cost in some instances, as" high as $75 and J100 Co' Jotownersl It was also stated by the Engineer that It would cost lotowners. whose property Is not on the main conduits, when tie latt erals were laid, about the same as it will cost owners of lots abutting the main conduits; that is it will cost the owner of a lot five or six blocks away from the conduit $20 or $25 for the conduit, and from from $15 to $20 for the lateral, making his assessment nearly the same as that of the owner of the lot abutting the main con duit. It Is understood throughout the district that If an equal assessment were made, and the cost were not excessive, there would be no opposition to the con struction of the system. All these con ditions have "been met, and hence no actlvie opposition Is expected. The-Beech-street sewer system Is the largest and most im- fportant-to be built on the East Side, ouU side of the Sunnyslde system. A petition was gotten out for the construction of the Cook-avenue system recently, but it is not being pushed. Found Oil In Beaver Creek. Oil has been found In considerable quan tity ,ln Beaver Creek, where the Base Line road crosses It, on the McKay farm. It Is. reported that oil is seen on the sur face of the water, and that' It wilL burn whenja mach is applied to It. The oil was noticed by the roadmen while they were making repairs to the bridge and changing the course of Beaver Creek. This find confirms the other fiPds made on the farms of James Menzlcs and Dr. Miller. It simply show-s that there Is undoubtedly a surface seepage of 611 from some source up the stream. The oil will be tested. E. S. McCoy, the oil expert, has in his possession a considerable quantity of gen uine paraffine oil rock, supposed to'hav.e been found somewhere on leaver Crek.

Concrete Sldciralks. In Irvlngton several thousand feet of concrete walks have been laid. In many streets concrete will take the place of the wooden' as fast as the latter" wears out. The first cost is. high, but he lasting, qualities of concrete, compared to the wooden, proves that in the end it is cheaper. From the start that has been made In the residence district, the wooden sidewalk will finally be displaced by con crete. Enlarging Lumber Yard.
