COMMERCIAL AND
The European wheat market emerged from
A protracted holiday yesterday slightly the
worse for wear. The Portland market has
not yet recovered frotn the holiday which It
has been enjoying for several weeks, and there
Is, accordingly, very little business In wheat
Another unsatisfactory feature of the trade
situation for the past few days has been the
decided slump in potatoes. There was a firmer
tone to the market yesterday, but the top
quotation was still about 35c under the best
price that was paid before the decline setn.
At the same time, tho price has not ye re
ceded to a point that Is at all disastrous to
the growers. There Is a little more activity
in the wool market) and Eastern buyers are In
tne field to a limited extent, with prospects
iavorlng a very fair market later on The
weather has been very unfavorable for
the ripening of strawberries, and the crop Is
ocr two weeks later than that of a yeap ago.
A few crates are coming In from Southern
Oregon, but they show the lack of sunshine,
being sour and green. The California berries
are coming In in very good shape. t
Oats and barley have been showing consid
erable strength, and there Is also more firm
ness in pork and veal. Butter and eggs have
steadied up a little, with some indications of a
slight advance. Heats and provisions are firm
in sympathy -with higher prices for raw mate
rial. There Is considerable strength la most
lines of staple groceries, but prices are not
quotably higher. Distributive trade is large
and Is holding up better than usual for the
latter part of the month.
"WHEAT Prices, which are high In compari
son with those of a year ago, continue to draw
out considerable wheat, and, from present In
dications, the Pacific Northwest will 50 Into
next season with a very small carry-over "stock.
Shipments for the season will reach 30,000.000
bushels, which Is nearly 5.000.000 bushels
greater than on any previous season. Nearly
all of the wheat that Is still held In the coun
try is in strong hands, and it requires quite a
premium over export values to move anything
like a round lot The business as the season
draws to a close, has been materially helped by
a good demand for wheat and flour from South
Africa. Oregon and "Washington exporters have
been enabled to pay more for wheat to be
shipped or ground for that market than they
could get out of it for United Kingdom busi
ness, and, from present indications, this busi
ness will run right on Into next season. The
flour trade in this direction, as well as with
Australia, has, in a measure, made a stand-off
for the sharp decline In the volume of business
with the Orient
The wheat market has been very quiet all
the week on account of the Holiday In England,
and even the ending of that holiday yesterday
failed to help matters much, as both cargoes
and futures were reported easier. The best
open quotation on wheat yesterday was 66c
for "Walla Walla, but there was nothing sell
ing at that figure. Freights are slightly easier
on both near and distant tonnage, there being
& sufficient amount of tonnage already In sight
for immediate needs. The Eastern markets
have been Influenced to a considerable extent
recently by fine weather conditions. The Cin
cinnati Price Current, in reviewing its crop cor
respondence for the week ending last Saturday,
says.
During the past week, as during the pre
ceding week, weather conditions were very
favorable for the growth of vegetation, and,
taken as a whole, the agricultural condition
of the country Is In good shape. The growing
Winter wheat crop is maintaining a fairly good
promise. In some places an Improvement Is
noted for the week. In the Northwest exces
sively wet weather has unfavorably retarded
seeding operations, but the situation Is now
slowly Improving, and the whole crop will soon
be in the ground. Late mall reports from for
eign countries indicate that the world's wheat
crop situation is above the average.
The oats crop has Improved moderately In
prospects during .. the week, although a few
dava of cool weather In the Ohio Valley re
tarded its growth. Corn-planting has extended I
to the northern section or tne corn DeiL. in a
few places excessive moisture retarded plant
ing, cool weather checked growth, and cut
worms are doing some damage, necessitating
some reseedlnt but on the whole the prospects
are good, with a large acreage planted.
Broomhall's LUerpool Corn Trade News is
still looking at the situation from a very bull
ish standpoint and, under date of May 6, has
- the following comment:
At the moment the market Is In a sensitive
state, but merchants throughout the world arc
seemingly Inclined to rely confidently upon the
beneficence of Providence, for they are every
where carrying light and continually decreas
ing stocks. In the face of a critical crop out
look, which any day may take a decided
change for the worse. It Is true that this Is
no new policy, for ever since tho first record
ed appearance of the rainbow the faithful few
have heeded the comforting assurance that
seedtime and harvest shall not fall the human
race, and ofttlmes have they profited by their
trustfulness, but the exceptions have not been
few or unimportant for the assurance may only
be true In a general sense, and not In particu
lar cases, "as all history and experience affirm.
It Is true that steam and electricity have.
almost annihilated space and time, but the
complexities of civilization have added o the
energies, Intensity and keenness of speculative
forces, so that market fluctuation may become
severe In inverse proportion to their -duration,
and what the meat trade is experiencing in
America today may only be a foretaste of
what may happen In other trades in the near
future For the present all the great com
mercial and financial powers seem to be allied
in an attempt to raise the price of produce
the world aver, in striking contrast to tho
avowed policy of the great market operators
of a decade ago.
The same paper has thefollowlng regarding
crop conditions in some of tho principal for
eign wheat countries:
Argentina Shipments are being well main
tained, although last week's total showed a
considerable reduction on that of the week
previous The Buenos Ayres Handel's Zeltung
claims that Its early estimate of 600.000 tons,
or 2,750.000 quarters, for the export surplus
will be fully Justified. The claim appears to
be a reasonable one. for, counting shipments
for Brazil. South America, eta, some 2,000,000
quarters must hav ebeen sent away already.
France The weather during the past week
was too "Ret for the crops, and this week Paris
reports, so far, say dull and cloudy. It is not
thought that much, If any-harm. has yet been
done but it is quite time that there should bo
a change to warmth- and sunshine, If the fine
condition hitherto reported is to be maintained.
Country markets keep firm, and supplies are
not very plentiful, but still the quantities
seem to suffice for the small demands of mill
ers Russia Reports received during the last sev
en days have continued to mention very cold
weather: however, the rains that have fallen
hae been well reccled generally, and so far
there are no complaints. Present stocks are
'ry small, but In the Southwest people expect
l--ge arrivals from the interior, provided the
weather is favorablo for the crops, and prices
are maintained, regarding the Southeast, where
crops were bad In 1001. our Rostoff correspond
ent says there are no big reserves In the Inte
rior Shipments last week were on a much
smaller scale.
Roumanla Bralla also reports exceedingly
cold weather for the lime of the year, but no
Anxiety seems to be expressed with regard to
the growing crops, which continue to show
splendid condition. 'The cold weather add the
rains have done good, in fact for the Insects
which were doing harm to the rape plant have
been destroyed. Shipments of Wheat in May
are being well maintained.
Germany The weather has been cold, and In
some parts frost has occurred. Few com
plaints made refer to rape and clover fields,
for it Js not thought that cereals have suffered
any damage worth mentioning.
WOOL Local dealers are not making -much
of an effort to buy wool as yet but advices
from the East report a little more stir among
the big dealers, and the outlook on the whole
le not unfavorable for a good market "Wool
Is coming Into the warehouses east of the
mountains in large quantities, and In spite of
unfavorable weather nearly as much shearing
has been done as on a corresponding date a
year ago. The Eastern situation is thus re
Viewed by the New York Journal of Commerce,
under date of May 17.
The condition pf the wool market for the
post week has changed very little, prices re
maining about the same, and the -demand on
all grades of ft decidedly limited character.
Reports from some quarters, however, are to
the effect that mere inquiries have been made,
and a somewhat 'better feeling seoms to exist
FINANCIAL NEWS
among manufacturers with regard to placing
orders. "Whether this wilt result in more gen
eral buying remains to be seen. Buyers in
some Instances talk more favorably bf the out
look for business ahead, which, they describe
as more favorable than the present market
conditions would seem to Indicate. A settle
ment of the labor trouble in thet American
"Woolen. Company's mills would undoubtedly
create more activity in the market -More fa
vorable reports from some -of the mills regard
ing a partial settlement -has" caused some en
couragement to the trade In general.
Individual sales during the wek hare been
of moderate proportions, v&nds tb aggregate
amount of sales also rEak'es a small showing.
The demand for pulled wools have again been
light Some fair lot of fine combings are to
be had la the market but -choice As are
scarce. Little inquiry can" be noted for terri
tory and Texas wools, prices remaining firm,
unchanged. Carpet wools acre slow and un
changed in any way overlast week's condi
tions. .Supplies are short, and new wools have
not as yet come to hand.
HOPS The hep market Is still holding the
very firm tone which has characterized it for
several weeks, and spot stock would command
fancy figures. The belated Spring, with con
tinued cold" weather, is restricting the consump
tion of beer, and this is quite a factor in pre
venting prices soaring to even higher figures
than those now prevailing. The growing- crop
is looking fairly well In this state, but advices
from the East are not so good. The "Water
villa. Times "of May 13 savs:
Since our last the hop vine all through New
York has suffered severely from 4 hard freeze.
On Friday. Saturday and even Sunday night
the mercury was at the freezing point or be
low, and all kinds of vegetation suffered. som.e J
of it beyond repair. On iYlaay nignt ice
formed fully a quarter of an Inch thick. The
next morning the tops of hop vines were limp
and black, showing that they had been froztn.
This was found to bo true of those shoots that
were the largest and most advanced, some of
thosa nearer the ground seem to have es
caped "Whether there are enough of these
more backward shoots to make a productive
vine or not or whether those frozen will out
grow the injury remains to be eeen. At all
events, the vine has been materially checked,
and, some think. Irreparably injured,
FRUIT Usually the strawberry season is on
at full blast at this period, but this season we
are still dependent on California for supplies,
and fortunately the receipts thus far have
been of superior quality to the visual run of
offerings. Sales were made jesterday at $1 40
and $160 per crate for 'best with some very
good stock selling at $1 25 per "crate. Oregon
berries, which are coming in in very limited
quantities, sell at 20c per box, but as yet cut
no figure in the market Bananas are still
plentiful, and seem to sell Well, although the
assistance of the hawkers was needed for the
last car, which arrived a little too ripe for
shipment Oranges and lemons are slightly
higher, and choice oranges are becoming
scarcer. . Apples are plentiful, and the stock
now offering has come through the Winter in
excellent shape. The last steamer brought up
a few crates of pineapples. They were mostly
green, and the demand was light '
POTATOES AND ONIONS The potato mar
ket is showing some signs of recovery from
the violent slump of a few days ago, and yes
terday a few dealers had regained their nerve
sufficiently to paj up a high as $1 50 per
cental. While stocks have been pretty heavy
In the San Francisco market the pronounced
weakness here was of short duration, and
some buyers expect to see the market back up
to the top again before new potatoes crowd
the old stock out of the "market New pota
toes are selling at SHc per pound. New Cali
fornia onions have about taken the place of
the old stock, and the latter Is practically out
of the market New red onions from Califor
nia are plentiful at (1 SO and $1 60 per sack,
and while they are a trifle green and waters'
they make a fair substitute for the high-priced
Oregon onions of the 1001 crop.
BUTTER The market Is much firmer for
fancy creamery butter, and store and dairy
arc also showing signs of an duvance. While
no open advance has been made on the stand
ard brands, some of the fancies are reported
to be selling at a premium of 5c per roll over
the regular run of offerings. Store Is In ex
cellent demand, and sales have been made ait.
high as 16c, although 14c and 15c la around
the top for the greater part of the receipts
now coming in.
EGGS The egg market continues to sell over
a wider range of prices than would seem to be
Justified by the fact that "all fresh eggs look
alike to the trade. In a small way some deal
ers were- selling at 16c yesterday, with -others
claiming to be unable to get rid of their slock
at 15c. Some dealers are still putting them
Into cold storage, and are Interested in' bear
ing prices for this reason. The local demand
is smaller than 'it was, but receipts are also
decreasing.
POULTRY The demand for poultry is not
quite as brisk as it was a few days ago, and
there has been a decline In prices for old
chickens. Best old stock will sell at $5. and
occasionally $5 CO per dozen, but the demand
now runs to Springs. Large fryers will sell
readily at f5 per dozen, but small are In poor
demand at prices running down as low aa
?1 50 and ?2 per dozen. Young ducks and
geese are In fair demand, but old birds are
at a discount Very few good turkeys gre
coming in at present and the demand s so
small that they are hardly worth while quoting.
A few dressed turkeys came In yesterday, but
they were so skinny and tough-looking that
8c per pound was the best offer that was
made for .them.

GRAIN MARKET.
Corn Conld Not Hold the Advances of
the First Hour.
CHICAGO. May 21. Wheat was dull. Early
there was a show of some strength on the corn
bulge and on reports of a good export demand,
supposed to be for the foreign account The
local crowd started to bull the market and
succeeded for a time. Liquidation set in when
corn sagged, and as the shorts had covered
early there was no demand for staff from that
quarter. General conditions were favorable to
the selling side. The weather was clearing
Northwest, and rains fell In the Ohio Valley.
July wheat opened 84c lower, at 74074ic,
advanced to 7537514c. and closed weak,
8c lower, at 74HC
Corn had very good early support but could
not hold the advances that were made during
the first hour. As on yesterday, the principal
bull factor was the very small run of cars.
On the advance profit-taking and short selling
caused a cpjapse. July closed fairly firm,
H8Uc up, to C2i62!4c.
Traders In the oats pits were guessing today
as to what deal Is on In their favorite grain.
Early In the day prices advanced strongly,
but slumped with the reaction In other trains.
The close was barely steady, July U9ie high
er, at 374483714c. "'
Piwlslons were slow and showed declines
In eerythlns on the list Hogs were lower,
and started an 1 easier market Some support
was met that stayed the decline for a time,
but on the grain weakness the close was de
pressed. July pork closed 10c lower, lard 214c
down, and ribs 587&C lower.

NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
Toae .of Depreastea Still Manifest in
the Deallaga.
NEW YORK, May 21. The tone of resistance
to depression was still manifest in today's stock
market notwithstanding its dull and narrow
professional character. .There was not much
assistance in the way of strength derived from
the coal stocks either, which were dull and
sluggish all day until Just "beforer the close,
when prices hardened there and elsewhere In
the market Yesterday's hopes that the activ
ities of the Civic Federation were promising
for a settlement of the .strike were somewhat
dashed by the aggrieved tone taken- by the
coal operators' toward those activities. Wall
street however, maintains Its conviction that
the two sides to the struggle are not very far
apart and both averse to a long and -costly
strike. The consequence: Is a constant Ex
pectation of the announcement of a settlement
The consp!cu6us strength of Canadian Pacific
and Its affiliated lines continued today, and
was a notable influence on the whole market
The strength of the stock" was unexplained
beyond floor-room gossip qf the imminence of a
corner and a revival of Ihe report of a strong
transatlantic steamship line in the interest of
tho line and to be subsidised by the Can&dlaq
Government Another sustaining factor were
the wide advance of stocks in the Usually In
active stocks and of minor railroad stocks
available for combination and absorption. The
demand for those stocks was stimulated by the
details ot the plan for taking over the Chicago,
Indianapolis & Louisville Jn the Joint interest
of the Southern Railway and the Louisville &
Nashville, and the acquisition -of the .Ann Ar
bor in the Interest of the Wabash.
There was an aggressive buying of Amal
gamated Copper at Intervals during &a day.
A further advance Jn the price of raw copper
here and strength in the, London copper 'mar
ket were supplemented by reports of great im
provement in the trade. There were also ru
mors of a compromise of the conflict of In
terests In the trade. The foreign exchange
market continued to show a yielding tendency,
In spite of the falling rate of Tnooey. This
afforded relief from the apprehension that a fall
in the money rate would lead to prompt ex
ports of old. London's hopes of an early
peace In South Africa were an additional fac
tor In the strength of the market, which was
quite marked at the close of the day
Bonds were dull, but quite Arm. Total sales,
par value, $2.415.G00. United States neW4s
declined for the old, and the 3s U. and the
2s i per cent on the last call today.

Mansfield Cannot Play Cyrano.
CHICAGO, May 21.-Judge C. C. Kohl
saat, In the United States District Court
today issued a perpetual injunction against
the production In the United States of
Edmund Rostand's play, "Cyrano de
Bergerac," in the suit brought against
Richard Mansfield and A. 31. Palmer by
Samuel Enerly Gross, of Chicago. The
court In Its order ruled that Mr. Gross
Chamber of Commerce
was also entitled to an accounting: ot the
profits from the play, but Mr. Gross
waived this right and accepted $1 as sat
isfaction. Mr. Gross Is the author of. a drama en
titled "The Merchant Prince of Corn
vllle," the loading character of which was
distinguished by the big nose that made
Cyrano famous. Th!a drama, Mr. Gross
maintained, was printed for private circu
lation some time before the appearance
of the celebrated French play and accord
ing to expert testimony, was the basis of
RCStand's work.
