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.

STOCK MARKET.
Baaiaess Ligfet nnA ef Strictly a
RooHa-Traeisgr Class. .
NEW YORK, May 23. Today's stock market
offers small subject for comment. 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.

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. July
closed 54c down, at 3754c
