COMMERCIAL AND
General trade, as usual at this season of the
year, shows a slight falling off as compared
with some periods earlier In the season, but
compared -with any corresponding period In
former years. It Is the best on record. Not
only Is there a heavy volume of distributive
trade, but there is, with the exception of
wheat, a heavier movement In agricultural
products than ever before at this season of
the year, Oregon apples are still coming- In by
the carload and are finding a market at very
remunerative figures, more potatoes have been
shipped than ever before, the crop of oats was
large, and prices are firm and advancing, the
output of butter has increased enormously,
and eggs, poultry, veal, pork and practically
everything else that Is raised on a farm Is In
good demand at satisfactory prices.
The most Important changes In prices in tha
past wcelf have been a sharp advance In mo
hair and a temporary weakness In potatoes.
There have also been advances In oats and
wheat, and hops are In demand at the best
prices of the season. The wool market Is a
little slow In getting under way, and buyers
are waiting for mfi. -srs to settle In the East
before making an active campaign. The clip
is large and. the quality excellent, and there
Is a feeling In pome quarters that' better prices
will prevail later in the season. The first
crate of Oregon strawberries was received
Tuesday, and sold at high figures. The season I
Is a little backward, but the yield will be
large, and as a good shipping demand has
been worked up within the past few years, the
crop will undoubtedly be marketed to good
advantage. , j
"WHEAT The local wheat market has as
sumed a "Summery" air which Is not In keep
ing with the temperature and the weather.
There is a good, firm undertone to the market,
but business is of such small proportions that
the situation Is almost wholly devoid of In
terest. Holders of wheat are mostly very firm
In their Ideas regarding values, and as the
bulk of the Bales that have been made recently
have been at figures right up to the limit of
value, cr a trifle over, they are not inclined
to weaken any, now that the statistics are
becoming more bullish. Sales of Walla Walla
have been made as high as 07c. but the ruling
quotation Is about 60d, with some dealers ven
turing 66Hc In this port e-erythlng has been
pretty well cleaned up, and as there are but
few ships due within the' next 60 days, the
shipments for the remainder of the season will
be light. The Oriental flour trade Is practically
at a standstill, and, from present Indications,
May shipments from the Pacific Northwest will
be smaller than In any moitfh for the past
three years. A fairly heavy demand is report
ed for flour for South Africa, and the ship
ments In that direction may be sufficient to
help out the shortage In the Oriental exports.
The only activity In freights is In new-crop
ships, and exporters are still taking them up
at 30s, nothing being obtainable for less, ex
cept large carriers, which will sometimes take
29s. The ondltion of the growing crop In the
Pacific' Northwest continues excellent, and
much the same reports come from California,
these reports materially aiding In keeping
freights rather firm at present quotations. Spot
tonnage falls to move, and the disengaged ships
now in the river will probably go over to next
season. The Cincinnati Price Current, in re
viewing crop conditions for the week ending
last Saturday, says:
The rains of last week cast of theMlssls
sippl River, followed by warm temperature,
made almost Ideal conditions for the growth of
all vegetation. West of the Mississippi River
rains have lately fallen where most needed for
wheat and other growing crops. The Winter
wheat crop Is maintaining a fairly good prom
ise, "With present weather conditions favorable
for It In the Northwestern States Spring
wheat seeding has been retarded some by ex
sslve rains, which have affected the acreage
moderately; otherwise, the situation would
hardly be regarded as unfavorable. .Latest
reports from foreign countries are to the effect
that all grain crops are maintaining a remark
ably good condition.
The oats crop has been benefited by recent
weather conditions, and although it had a
rather poor start It has improved, and the
present prospect may be regarded as fair. The
corn crop is starting off auspiciously. Plant
ing has extended to the northern part of the
corn belt, and nearly everywhere that It has
come up it Is reported to have a good stand.
The hay prospect Is fair east of the Mississippi
River, but not so good west of it. The move
ment of grain to market Is moderate. Supplies
of wheat held by farmers are probably not far
from an average, but supplies of both oats and
corn are generally very light,
Snows's May crop report says with the excep
tion of Oklahoma every Winter wheat state of
Importance east of the Rockies shows 210
points lower condition than a month ago. Win
ter wheat condition last month, per official re
port, was about the smallest on record, viz.,
78.7, against 01.7 in April, 1001, 84 past five
years' April average, and 82.4 past 10 years'
average. The Oklahoma condition, of which
Snow makes an exception, was only 67 last
month, compared with 97 In April last year.
The other Important Winter wheat states and
conditions last month and a year ago are;
Kansas, 73 and 105; Indiana, 81 and 89; Mis
souri, 91 and 98; Michigan. 83 and 72; Illinois,
00 and 92; Nebraska, 93 and 100, and Ken
tucky. CS and 73.
Broomhall, In reviewing the situation from a
foreign standpoint, prints the following decid
edly bullish comment In the Liverpool Corn
Trade News, under date of April 29:
Farmers' supplies are In very moderate com
pass, so that, with light supplies of foreign
and native grain, merchants' stocks are being
worked Into very freely. The port stocks have
shrunk to quite Insignificant proportions, being
sow returned at 3,311,000 quarters, or but three
weeks supply, and not only are the reserves In
British merchants' hands shrinking, but those
likewise In American elevators are rapidly dis
appearing. During the 12 weeks since Feb
ruary 1, the aggregato visible supply, com
prising the ocean visible for Europe, official
American visible and United Kingdom port
stocks, has decreased 16,000,000 bushels, where
as In the same period It Increased 1,000,000
bushels last year, 14,000.000 bushels in 1900.
nnd 8,000.000 bushels In 1809. As to what will
happen with regard to these figures In thelm
medlate future one hardly likes to prophesy,
but It may be taken for granted that by the
end of the current season this year's aggregate
visible supply will have fallen to a lower level
than what we have been accustomed to In re
cent seasons, at any rate since 1S8S, the year
of the collapse of the Letter corner.
Viewed generally, there can be no doubt
about the healthiness of the situation at large;
Stocks are comparatively light everywhere ex
cept on the ocean, and these will rapidly and
severely decrease during the next three months,
so much so. Indeed, that the contrast between
the figures of the present time and those of
August next will be striking to an Intense
degree. When It is considered that this fall
ing off In stocks, which we must look forward
to before the end of the season, follows upon
one of the biggest wheat crops ever harvested,
viz, 336,000.000 quarters, one has some con
ception of what the quantity consumed must
have been, the Increase over a normal year
being due principally to the high price of
Indian corn and oats, not only In America, but
In Europe to a certain extent.
WOOL AND MOHAIR Steady but quiet Is
about the situation In wool In this market.
Business could be worked at quotations, but
growers are not developing any, anxiety over
the outlook, and the business has hardly
opened as yet Shearing is progressing at a,
rapid rate, and some of the interior warehouses
are filling up. In the Valley the principal
activity Just now Is In mohair, and the mar
ket has been very firm and active for the past
few days, there being an advance -of over 5c
since last week; Tho Eastern wool market Is
thus reviewed by New ""fork mall advices to
May 10-
Vrry little If any change Mas occurred in the
wool market for the past week. Prices, how
ever, have not softened any, owing to the light
demand for all grades, but are firm at last
week's quotations. Stocks aro decidedly small
In all classes of domestic wool, and for this
reason holders are not affecjed by the quiet
conditions. Consumption at the mills continues,
and must necessarily result in replenishing
orders at no very late date. In the meantime
holders feel that with stocks In their present
condition they need not press sales at price
concessions In order to realise or cut down
supplies. .Business In Boston has been some
what auleter this week, the -improvement .nQta
FINANCIAL NEWS
In the market last week having .disappeared.
Sales for the week are reported as amounting
to 1,480.000 pounds.
In the local market the demand this week
has been of a. pleclng-cut character, small
quantities only being taken. Pulled wools
have been In light demand, though prices hold
firm. Some sample bales of Texas and terri
tory wools have been taken, but orders from
these have not materialized-as yet Foreign
wools remain quiet and unchanged, little of
Interest being reported on any clss.
HOPS The market on spot goods is very
strong, and nothing less than 15c" is quoted,
with a strong probability that higher prices
would be paid where It was possible to work
business. The situation in the East is so
strong that American hops shipped to Europe
carrier" In the season are now being returned.
Under date of May 10, the New Tork Journal
of Commerce has the following:
No business of consequence was reported
transacted locally with brewers, although deal
ers In several Instances stated that a lew more
inquiries were being received. The tone of the
market held firm, and It was learned that
there was some trading among dealers, It be
ing reported that about 100 bales of choice
States changed hands at a price close to 20c 1
Advices from up the state reported "firm mar
kets, and sales of a few small lots of choice
were reported made at 20c f. o. "b. cars coun
try points. Advices from the coast also re
ported firm markets, with light offerings, and
one dealer reported advices saying that bids
were being made of 13c for contracts for 1902
Sonoma hops. Imports of hops reported for the
week were 400 bales, but they Included 372
bales American hops returned, making the Im
ports of foreign hops only 28 bales.
FRUIT Arrivals of fruit have been very
heavy within the past week and bananas espe
cially have been on tho bargain counter. An
other car arrived Tuesday before the remnants
from the three cars which reached here a few
days earlier had been cleand up, and a. car
came In yesterday. Oranges are also In good
supply, but the navels are disappearing. Two
carloads came In Tuesday, and a car of sweets
was received, and about one or two more .cars
will end tha season for the navels. Apples aro
plentiful, aid sell at fancy figures, but the
stock now coming from Southern Oregon and
Hood River is the best ever put on the market
so late In the season. Cherries and straw
berries are becoming plentiful, although but
two crates of the Oregon berries hpve reached
the Portland market They -have sold at 40c
per box. California berries are plentiful around
1012Hc per box, and by next week there will
be a plentiful supply at low figures'.
POTATOES The Irrigated farms- of the
Yakima country cut a wide 6wath Jn the San
Francisco potato market Monday and Tuesday,
the commotion being due to the arrival In the
Bay City pf 4000 sacks, which had been shipped
from Taklma by way of Seattle. As the Puget
Sound cities have, to a certain extent been
purchasers of Oregon potatoes, this competition
from an unexpected source caused a sharp de
cline for a brief period. The market rallied
again, however, and yesterday everything
choice that came along found buyers at about!
the old figures. The last steamer took down
lees than 3000 sacks, the smallest BhJpment
made for months, apd it Is believed that there
will be a good demand for choice old potatoes
for a long time. New potatoes are coming in
more freely in San Francisco, and the quality
Is Improving, but they are not yet sufficiently
plentiful to cause much of a weakening1 In
prices. -
ONIONS The onion Beason is practically
ended, and old stock has been nearly 1
cleaned up. For a few days only the price
soared about ?2 50 per sack, but the difficulty
in keeping the stock In good order this season
was so great that It would probably have been
more profitable for growers to have sold early
at half that figure. New onions are plentiful
In San Francisco, and afford a good substitute
for old, especially as the price Is materially
lower. The few that have reached Portland
have sold at $1 752 per bag, and were of
pretty fair quality. ,
GROCERIES The wholesale houses report an
excellent demand for 'staples, and the volume
of trade is much greater than that of last
May. Prices for the past week have ruled
rather firm, but no material change has Been
made in quotations. Sugar continues dull, and
retailers all over the Northwest who bought
heavily In expectation of an advance, have
about abandoned hope, and there is a general
feeling that a decline may occur before there
Is an advance. Coffee Is showing a weaker
tendency, and lower prices are expected. A
prominent New Tork trade" Journal prints the
following on the coffee trade:
Excessive supplies in sight and the enormous
movement of the Brazil crop are the two fac
tors that are receiving most of the attention of
the trade. The visible supply statement on
May 1 showed a world's visible supply of
about 11,400,000 bags, against a total of 6.900.
000 bags on July 1, 1901, or a gain of 4,600,000
bags, thus showing that the large surplus from
the present monster crop has accumulated at
distributing points and Is waiting for an out
let In the face of the present over-sUpply of
coffee comparatively little .consideration is
given to the possible production of the next
Brazil crop as a factor. Furthermore, ideas
as to yield of the coming crop are decidedly
at variance. Some are inclined to look for a
crop somewhere between 8,000,000 and 9,000,000
bags, while others maintain that with the
present large acreage under cultivation in
Brazil and the new trees coming Into bearing,
they do not see how it, is possible for Rio and
Santos to produce less than 10,000,000 bags
during the coming crop year. A crop of this
size, together with the mild crops, which should
bo between 4,000,000 and 6.000,000 bags, will
provide sufficient coffee to meet the actual
consumptive requirements of the trade. There
fore, figuring on the basis of a 10,000,000-bag'
Rio and Santos crop for 1902-03, no material,
reduction In the visible supply of coffee Is ex
pected for the next year. On the other hand,
however, the low estimates for the next Bra
zil crop are entitled to as much respect as the
larger ones, they being the opinions of good,
conservative houses, and It may be that con
siderable inroads may be made Into the pres
ent large stocks before the end of another crop
year. However, at present the majority of
the trade are giving comparatively little atten
tion to future supplies, they arguing that the
present stock of coffee Is more than the trade
can take care of on the present basis of values,
and that a gradual sagging of prices Is to be
expected until a new low record Is established
to conform with the present record supplies.
BUTTER There is a little more activity In
tha butter market and during the 'past weok
some pretty heavy shipments have been made
to outside points. Over five tons of store but
ter were shipped tor San Francisco by the last
steamer, to be converted Into choice California
creamery butter, and there were also some large
shipments of both store and creamery to Alaska
and Puget Sound. Prices are ruling steady at
unchanged figures, best brands of creamery
cleaning up all right at 174c with very fair
stock obtainable at 16c
EGG8 For over a week the egg market has
held steady at 1516c Most of the dealers
state that they cannot clean up at anything In
excess of 15c, and' that 157)40 Is the . top for
single-case lots. Others get rid of some pretty
liberal receipts at 16c and explain their suc
cess In getting the top figure as due to a care
ful sorting and handling of the ergs, a large,
clean egg selling at better figures than small,
dirty stock, with dirty shells. Quito a few
eggs are going into cold storage, and they
are being put away at higher figures than
usual this season. At least one car of Eastern
eggs has reched Puget Sound within the past
fortnight and another Is said to be on the
way.
POULTRY The very attractive prices paid
for chickens for several weeks past have at
last resulted in satisfying the demands of tho
market and prices have eased up a - Jlttlo.
They cannardly be termed quotably lower, hut
there Is no longer the rush to, secure them,
even before they arrive, and unless thra
should be a brisk demand at the close of tha
week, a" decline is probable. Large-sized fry
ers sell better than anything else Just ndw,
and in good condition $5 per dozen is readily
obtainable, but the most of the offerings sell
at much lower figures, some "peepers" going
as low as XI 60 per dozen. Large young ducks
sell well, but there Is no demand for old ducks
or geese. Turkeys are domlnaL thro being
so few .that are worth anything at this season
of the year that the demand Is also light

NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
Union Pacific More Active Money
Easy at O Per Cent or Under.
NEW YORK. May 14. Today's small
changes in prices of stocks are mostly gains,
but the firmness of the market was passive,
and had no prospective element In so far as
could be perceived. The day's totaltransac
tions were smaller than for many months.
Union Pacific made some show of strength,
and was far In the lead of all other stocks In
point of activity. Gossip was tn circulation
of an Intended' increase in the dividend rate
on the stock. Action on the dividend Is not
expected until July, and It Is natural .to sup
pose that the course of the Winter wheat and
com crops between now and then will have a
bearing on the dividend action. The course of
these crops is Just now tho subject of great
est uncertainty In speculative circles, and this
uncertainty was a large Influence In the specu
lative halt In the stock market which took
place today. Another cause was the anthracite
miners' convention, which was in session at
Hazleton to decide whether to make the condi
tional strike of the miners permanent No
light was thrown on this question before the
close of the day, but the coal stocks shared
generally in the firmness of the market An
other feature of the day was the wide recov
eries scored by some of the high-priced stocks,
which fell violently under the liquidation Mon
day. There were other high-priced stocks In
the inactive list which sold today at wide de
clines from the previous sales.
The money market was much quieter today,
and there was no difficulty In obtaining call
loans at 6 per cent or under. The process of
borrowing in foreign money market was con
tinued today, as Indicated by the further de
cline In the sterling exchange market The
complaint of some large, syndicate transactions
and band subscriptions which have) been n
progress reetntly had Us part In relieving the
money marktt and 'lightening the pressure to
sell stocks. The Subtreasury requirements on
the money market are much less than last
week, partly owing to Increased pension pay
ments. Bonds were dull but firm. Total sales, par
value, $3,270,000. United States 3s declined H
per cent on the last calf.

Chicago Wheat Trade Light and
Price Fell Oft.
CHICAGO, May 14. Yesterday's tuns at the
opening of the wheat pit showed that they had
forgotten all about yesterday's bullish Govern
ment report The cables showedio response
to our strength, and, above all, the weather
was very favorable. Rains fell copiously in
Kansas and Nebraska, and the Spring wheat
country In the Northwest was clearing. The
local statistician made a report Indicating a
yeld of 541.000,000 bushels, quite at variance
with the Government estimate. These factors
started July a shade to c lower, at 76
76c and depressed It early to 7575c Corn
strength and reports of good cash business
brought a good reaction, and prices for. .a
tlmo held firm near last night's' close. Trade,
however, was light the outside specutator
was not !n the market, and there wax some fair
selling by yesterday buyers. Tart of th re-.
