THE MORNING . OREQQN1AN. THURSDAY, .MAY 29, 1&02. 13 COMMERCIAL AND With the month drawing to a close, there Is not very much of Interest ra the business situa tion. andretallers. as usual, are buying spar ingly, taking In Just enough to tide them over until the new month. The demand for staples has been quite heavy from Interior points, and In the aggregate the business for the month Just closing has been much ahead of that or any previous May. There Is a much smaller business In wheat than there was a year ago, but Its effect on general trade Is more than offset by greater activity In other directions. More oats have been marketed In this city In the past GO days than In any similar period this season. There Is a big demand at high prices for all kinds of livestock, and In spite of the recent slump potatoes are still selling at prices which make them quite an Important factor In trade. Butter and eggs have both held steady during the past week, and are be ing taken up for cold-storage purposes at prices which are remunerative for producers, and In quantities that will preclude the ne cessity for the Importation of any great amount of Eastern stock next Winter. Veal Is slightly easier on account of the hot weather and more liberal receipts, but the demand for pork keeps well ahead of the supply. More activity Is re ported In wool, and there is also some business in new crop contracting for hops. Groceries show but few changes of Importance, although thero Is considerable firmness In some lines of staples. "WHEAT The wheat market Is drifting, with hardly enough business reported to make a quotation of any value. Walla Walla Is gen erally quoted at GGc, with some dealers pay ing as high as 67c when they are in need of wheat. Receipts have been quite moderate, and shipments In keeping, the cargo of the Lord Shaftesbury, which was cleared by the Portland Grain Company yesterday, being the last that will go forward for at least three weeks, and unless some tonnage arrives In the meantime It will be the last for the season. There Is such a small amount of wheat still unsold In the country that interest has shifted from the crop that was to the crop that Is to be, and under favorable climatic conditions the coming crop is making a very promising show ing. It gives no evidence of a near approach to the record-breaker of' last year, but will be of sufficient proportions to make a very active season in the trade unless It should be cut down by hot winds. Freights are easier, with a downward tenden cy, and a new crop ship of moderate size was fixed yesterday at 2Ss 9d, with plenty more ob tainable at the same figure. The California crop Is now undergoing Its usual shrinkage Beginning at a period when the new-sown wheat Is undecided Whether to sprout or rot, the California crop is annually heralded as from 1,000,000 to "steen" hundred thousand tons. It gradually drops down a few hundred thousand tons at a time, until long about May 1 It becomes " 'bout the same as last year." At this time In 1002. conserva tive Judges jstate that it will be about 100,000 tons short of last year, and that the barley crop will also be smaller than that of a year ago. This has a tendency to make an easier feeling In freights. The condition of the grow ing crop in the East and Middle West Is thus set forth by the Cincinnati Price Current, In its review of the reports for the week ending last Saturday: During the past week, conditions were not quite so uniformly favorable for vegetation as during the preceding two weeks, Dut the gen eral average condition of crops Is being main tained, practically the only drawbacks being unseasonably cool temperature In the Eastern States and poorly distributed rainfall In the wheat and corn belt of the Central and West ern States. The wheat crop continues in fairly good promise, and present Indications are that harvest In the principal sections will commence early. As far north as Ohio River, the plant is heading out. but in many localities it is heading low. In the Spring wheat states about all the wheat sowing has been done, -and the plant is coming up nicely. In the- Red River Valley the excessive moisture has Interfered considerably with seeding, and consequently curtailed the acreage. Much of the land which could not be put Into wheat will be put to corn or flax. Mall reports from foreign coun tries regarding grain crops continue good as a rule, but with some modification In some in stances. The corn crop is making favorable progress. It has been well cultivated in the Southern States, and is coming up well In the Central States, although cutworms are Injurious In many localities, and require some replanting. But on tho whole the situation of the crop Is satisfactory, and the acreage is large. Al though the oats crop had a very poor start. It has been benefited In recent weeks by a good deal of moisture and mild temperature, which has been bringing It out nicely, and the gen eral prdspects are now fairly good. It might he noted that early potatoes and Spring vege tables In practically all sections are In fairly good condition, which Is a contrast with a year ago. In regard to the Interior movement of grain there does not appear any feature of im portance. Thero Is no strong holding senti ment, and it would seem that a little Induce ment could easily Increase the offerings; this applying to both wheat and corn. The Liverpool Corn Trade News, under date of May 14. has the following regarding the foreign crop conditions: England All vegetation is at a standstill, both In this country and throughout a large part of Europe. So far, no actual damage has been done to the wheat crop, but It is be coming high time for decidedly milder weather to set. A long continuance of a wind re minding one of Greenland's Icy mountains or Iceland's ley seas is turning the' blade of the wheat plant yellow and forcing the owner of livestock to give Winter keep In ro Id-May, so that the chance of the proverbial wheat ear be ing discovered this month Is becoming remote. ance of their holdings pretty freely, the deliv eries, according to the recent Whitehall return, covering approximately the last week In April, amounting (by the usual method of calculation) to 100.000 quarters, the average price being given at 30s 0d per 480 pounds, a rise since the budget speech of 3s per quarter, or 4s from the lowest point of February. Russia The weather has been wintry, with sharp frosts in the center and southwest; this, of course, is most unseasonable, but hitherto there has been practically no mention of crop damage. Latest reports, both from our own correspondents and from German Consuls, speak most favorably of crop conditions, but there Is plenty of time yet for damage to be caused. One gentleman Informs us that the next four weeks Is the critical time for the crops in the southern districts, but even later damage may be caused by heat In June. Ship ments of wheat and mabte keep liberal, but a curious comment on these outgoings, of produce Is afforded by a report in today's Times, which says that large remissions of taxes have been made to the peasants, owing to the prevailing distress. Roumarila Our Bucharest correspondent re ports that tho recent copious rains have done much good, and malse planting is being pushed mrwuru vigorously; nowever, nne, sunny weather is required. The cutting of the rape crop should start in about" three weeks. Bralla reports very favorably of tho crop outlook, and mentions a few days of fine, warm weather. The export movement of wheat and maize Is very liberal. Austria-Hungary The weather last week was unfavorable for the crops, although the temperature was somewhat higher. There are no complaints of serious crop damage, but vegetation is making no growth, and the young plants are turning ycHow and showing signs of rust. The official bulletin for the last fortnight of April was favorable on the whole, but even this had much to say about the win try weather. Argentina Wheat shipments showed a. fair decrease last week, and no doubt maize will be faking the premier place. Mall advices men tion a feared decrease in the acreage In the Entre Rlos, owing to the insufficient distribu tion of seed to needy colonists. Australasia There was no shipment of wheat to Europe lasf week, and there Is no fresh news regarding the Australian crops. New Zealand advices mention damage to the crops in stock and stack from heavy rains. France Last week was vers disagreeable and most unseasonable, continuous rain with hall, frost and even snow being experienced. The rye crop has already lodged, and although it is not thought that wheat has been injured to any extent, still every day that such unseason able weather continues must do something to lessen the chances of a good harvest. Offers keep scarce on country market, but apparently they are quite sufficient for the small demands Of buyers. Spain The crop outlook is good on the whole, but In New Castile the crops are deteriorating, FINANCIAL NEWS owing to loo much rain. Locusts are still much Jn evidence. Germany Tho wet weather was last week cold, with a good deal of .moisture In the form of snow and sleet. There Is some mention of backward vegetation, but on the whole the crop situation Is still regarded as quite eatlsfac tory. WOOL There Is a little more activity In wool this "week, and a few good-sfeed sales have been made. A number of Eastern buyers are cruising around this territory, but their buying is not as free as might be desired, on account of the reluctance of holders to sell ex cept at full prices. The Eastern Oregon wool Is of very good quality this year, and accord ingly the differential between It and Valley Is smaller than usual. The Eastern wool market Is thus reported by mall advices "received yes terday: The wool market this week has displayed about the usual amount of activity that Is ex--pectedat this time of the year. Little of a disposition to buy has been In evidence; prices, however, have held fairly steady, and buyers looking for cheap lots of wool have been dis appointed. Judging from the demand the gen eral run of manufacturers are not In any great need of supplies, and until their needs become more pressing are likely to keep off the market. With the present quiet of the woolen goods end of the market there Is little to Induce them to purchose. notwithstanding the fact that prices In the West make those In the seaboard mar ket look low by comparison. Wool dealers are confident, however, that the demand is bound to Improve before long, and are willing to wait, as they see no use In breaking prices to try ana force the demand. The request during- the Week has Inclined mdre toward fine grade wools, A and fine A supers being the better sellers. General In quiries have also been made for combings of low and medium grades. B supers have re mained quiet at prices rangrng from 32635c. but offers to holders have been below these figures, some of the offers made being as low as 30c per -pound. On territory and Texas wools the demand has been of very moderate proportions. Carpet wools also continue slow. China and Donskole wools have been Inquired for, but sales of any size have failed to mate rialise. HOPS With practically all of the old hops put of the hands of growers, there Is not much business In 1001 crop, but tho market Is very firm, and the general outlook is bo favorable for prices that there is more anxiety on the part of dealers to contract for new season stock. The Eastern market Is thus reported by the New Tork Journal of Commerce, under date of May 24: Although the demand from brewers continued light, the general impression of the trade was that they had" as a rule only very moderate re serve stocks to draw from, and that an im provement in the demand" will very likely de velop In the near future. Offerings continued small and prices were unchanged and firm. A fair amount of Interest was shown in old olds, for which prices were gradually hardening. A sale was reported of 100 bales old olds at 4$io f. o. b. cars country point. Coast advices re ported firm markets. Bids of 13c for Contracts for selected 1002 crops wore being turned down; some dealers consequently have advanced their bids, and rumors were current to the effect that contracts for 1902 crops have been made at 13Hc Advices received from Washington re port that the number of barrels of beer on which tax was paid during April was 3,506.582, against 3,231.400 same month last year, or an Increase of 10.3 per cent. The total for the four months. January-April, Is 12.233.070. against 10.S05.470 same period lost year, or an Increase to May 1 of 13.2 per cent over the corresponding period in 1901. Mall advices from Kent and Sussex, May-10. say: There Is a great scarcity of hops with any color, and for these prices have a harden ing tendency, although the amount of business passing is not of any great magnitude. In the plantations the young shoots do not come away strong, and the cold winds and frosts are very unfavorable. Worcester, May 10. Trade in new hops Is fairly active for the time of year, and a little business has been done In welUkept yearlings, which are comparatively scarce. The hop plant is extremely backward, and; owing to cold winds and frosty nights, growth is slow, and tying not even commenced. BUTTER The steamer sailing for San Fran cisco Tuesday evening took out ab'out 10,000 pounds of store butter, leaving the market well cleaned up on that grade, and as receipts are only moderate, the market 1b quite firm. Creamery, which failed to move satisfactorily at 20c' Is cleaning up all right at 17lSc The rise to 20c checkod the buying for cold- storage purposes, and as the demand in" other directions would not take up all of the surplus, there Is no immediate prospect for a further advance. EGGS Tho cold-storage demand seems to be taking up all of the eggs that are available as soon as the price drops below 16c, and large quantities have been put away In the past few days at 15c and 15c Yesterday most of the strictly first-class candled stock sold In single case lots at 10c, and there was an outside demand which seemed to warrant that figure, as stocks on the street wereell cleaned up. Receipts are smaller this week, but as the demand Is also smaller, it Is be lieved that prices will show no further change for a few days at least. POULTRY The demand In chickens Just at present runs largely to fryers, and even these are not selling so well since the. warm weather set in, but if large size and In good condition they will sell up to f 44 50 per dozen. Old hens In good condition will command about the came price, and occasionally 50c more. In ducks and gctac, the only demand Is for young birds, and these, it of good size, sell up aa high as $8 and 9 per dozen. There Is but lit tle demand for turkeys, and quotations are nominal.

It was strictly room-trading class "of business, which is known in stock exchange circles aa trading' Jack-knives. The profits made or the losses sustained were "confined to the limits of th boardroom. Outside orders were Insignificant. Th news of theday waa slight, and Mad only a nominal Influence. The real incentive to dealings waa the Impression of the traders as to the volume ot contracts existing with Jhera or on the other Bide. The decline of the pre ceding days found traders generally committed In a small way to the short side, and they at tempted to cover their short contracts' before the rival traders could do so. The fad that the rise of something over a point in Readfrir was accompanied by rumors that developments were Impending, encouraging a nope cf. the settlement of the coal strike, was of vry Jlg&t weight, and many Wall street offices had dUr patches from the 'mining region reportliig the prospects unchanged, without affecting the small work that was la progress. The buying of. SL Paul was JUst as Utile ac cepted as Indicating any Importance in the progress of the .crops, although the weather map was favorable, and. the sharp reaction In me grain markets offered some corroboration. Until definite news la known of the damaga to the coming corn crop, a largo crop will be taken for granted. Thero waa some demand, for the soft ceaf carriers oq the ground that the shortage df anthracite coal, enhances the demand for soft coal aa a substitute, ,but there Is the doubtful element ot the possibility of the success of ef forts making to get the bituminous coal miners to Join the anthracite strikers. The 34-polnt rise In Hocking Valley has as additional grounds the report of s proposed Increase" in the dividend rate. The speculative realizing on Canadian Pacific continued today and re moved the stimulating effect of the recent rioa In that stock from the market. The feeling of disappointment over tha. lack, of a definite peace announcement by the Brlt- lsh Cabinet had a slight reflection at the open ing here. - A sharp broak In the London mar ket for raw copper helped to keep back Amal gamated Copper. The approach o a half-week holiday emphasized tha disposition to refrain from speculation. A good part of the ad vances were lost on room profit-making, and the market closed heavy. The market tct bonds was dull and steady. Total sales. $1,910,000. United States bonds were all unchanged On the last call. Cloala Stack Qaetattaaa. DESCRIPTION.

WHEAT AND STOCK BROKERS - Room 4, Ground Floor Chamber of Commerce CEREALS TAKE A DROP SHAKP REACTION IX pASTERN 'GRAIN MARKETS. WealcBeas Rule In Cora Frost tke OaenlnB Wheat Falls 'Nearly Two Ceaii. CHICAGO. May 28. Weakness ruled la corn I from, tho opening. Tho sbarO advance here yes terday Influenced cash nouses to aavance uif bids In tha country, and the farmers Jumped at the higher prices eagerly. Before noon, advices Indicated 1.000,000-bushela sold to Chi cago. In the pit tho houses that bought this stuff at 0nc sold, and it forced prices down beyond the low bulge of yesterday. Cables were unresponsive, crop reports were good, and goodstfeather was reported in tnc corn oeiu Early Id the session, the big bull houses un loaded with some profit, after tho successful manipulation of yesterday. After prices piunged downward there was some cash busi ness, but It did not serve to steady the mar ket. The wheat weakness showed no signs of abatement, and July, which yesterday was worth 64c, and which opened today at C49 6354c Closed weak, 15s91?4o lower, at 62963c Wheat showed xome early weakness on the early rorelgn weakness, which waa based on the favorable Government report received here. The Southwest waa bearish on crop prospects, and sold freely. There were few short accounts open, and consequently, aa ptfcea declined, there was llttla to arrest the weakness. There was a heavy selling trade, although a few commission houses bought. The weather waa good everywhere for crops. The cold-woather scare was found to amount to nothing so tar. and although tho coldness was not a help to forcing growth, yet it had dona no damage. A" "corn turned very weak, wheat was de pressed still further, and the weakness It de veloped seemed to be so thoroughly saddled upon the market that even late reports of 63 loads sold at the seaboard for export and four loads worked here direct, failed to more than steady the slump over the bottom figures. July opened 54&S up, at 63T4963c, slumped to 62H962ttc, and closed weak, lK91c down, at 62$i902'J4c Ther was little of Interest In cats.
