General prosperity In Portland' busi

Fourth of Jul? trade on record. The

A sensational decllrie- In refined

prices. t
m ! '.
Fourth-of-July trade In seasonable luxuries
has been the featuro of the past week In com
'merclal circles, and despite the unsettled labor
troubles In this city, the buying powers of the
people do not seem to be restricted, for the,
business Is of greater proportions than ever
before, and country orders show large Increases
Dvcr any previous season. Aside from this
heavy trade In Fourth-of-July goods, there has
been a good" demand for staples from outside
points, where Industrial enterprises are un
hampered by- labor 'troubles. In price changes,
a sensational drop of 8 per ton on refined
salt was the most Interesting feature. This de
cline was due to the encroachments of East
ern reapers lnrfhls field, which was claimed
for Its own by the salt trust. The trust Is
carrying Immense stocks at Pacific Coast ports.
and had put up the price so high that the
Eastern refiners were making pretty good head
way in this field The decline is so heavy
that It will probably accomplish the desired
effect for the present, at least.
In tho wool districts east of the mountains,
wool is still moving out at prices materially
higher than those which wero In effecjt a year
ago, and there is nothing In the general situa
tion which indicates any recession in prices.
New-crop hop contracts mado on Monday at
16c per pound, Ehow an advance of lc since
last week, and the price is the highest on rec
ord for advance business. The weather until
yesterday has been very favorable for the rip
ening and marketing of berries and cherries,
and prices havo held up remarkably well since
the opening of the season. "While the rain has J
undoubtedly caused some loss to the fruit men,
the benefit to the grain crops will probably
make amends for the damage to the small
fruits. As usual at this time of year, there Is
a big demand for chickens, and the market has
been well cleaned up, although other kinds of
poultry are not doing bo well. Eggs and but
ter are also quite firm.
"WHEAT With the 1901-02 wheat season Just
ended, and but comparatively l(ttlQ wheat in
s.ght, exporters are taking matters easy, and
the ekyrockety action of the Eastern markets
finds but little reflection here. There are no
Ehlps on spot or near at hand, except those for
which cargoes have been provided, and export
ers are accordingly not forced to bid up for
wheat. Most of them are in the market when
the can secure the cereal on an export basis,
-which As somewhere In the neighborhood of 66c.
but none of them are forcing matters. The
depressed condition of the Oriental flour mar
ket haB made It unnecessary for millers to rus
tle for wheat, and when they are In tho mar
ket at all they object to paying much of a
premium over 'export values for the cereal. The
carry-over etock was about the same as that
of a year ago, and nearly half of It is at tide
water points, leaving such a small amount In
first hands that it Is quite probable that it wilt
be held for higher prices.
Freights arc unchanged. Portland exporters
have taken up about enough ships for loading
at this port and on Puget Sound to give them
a pretty fair start for a new season fleet, and
by including these vessels already chartered,
the en route list shows up with approximately
40.000 tons net register more than was In
sight a year ago. It will -be remembered that
exporters a year ago wero called on to handle
the largest crop on record In this territory, and
also that they succeeded in doing It without -a
scarcity of ships, and sent their wheat forward
at the end of the season in 23s 9d and 24s Gd
ships, compared with 2Ss Od, now demanded.
Present Indications favor a crop nearly If not
quite as large as that of a year ago, but It
will hardly be enough larger under the most
favorable possible conditions to require an ad
ditional 40,000 tons net register of shipping to
move it.
Tho rains yesterday were highly beneficial
to the crop in this territory, late Spring grain
receiving special benefit. Tho Eastern market
has been wildly excited since Monday over the
continued wet weather, which Is playing havoc
with fields of ripened grain. Tho condition in
some sections is a grave one, and may result
in much higher prices than .any we have yet
witnessed this season. The Cincinnati Price
Current, in reviewing its crop correspondence
for last week., mentions tho begipnlng of tho
trouble s follows:
The cast week has been cool and more or
less rainy over the corn and Winter-wheat sec
tion of the country. The rains havo interfered 1
somewhat with harvesting operations in Kan
sas and Missouri, and in limited localities else-'
where, otherwise, the week was fairly favor
able for tho wheat. In the northern sections,
where the wheat is not yet ready to cut. the
cool weather was beneficial for the nlllng-out
process, and checked the progress of rust, whjch
has become rather Injurious fn some localities.
Taken altogether, the prospects are Just about
maintained. The Spring wheat crop is main
taining its previous very promising condition
Under favorable weather Influences.. The com
crop is maintaining a very good condition. The
cool weather has prevented a rapid growth,
affecting chiefly the latest planted corn and
the more northern states, but the crop already
is fairly well advanced, with fine stand, gen
erally clean, notwithstanding the numerous
rains, and is being laid by in much better con
dition, on the whole, than "Usually. Oats have
been favorably affected rather than otherwise
during the past week, promising possibly a rec
ord crop; the most unfavorable reports are o$
extreme lodging, In the State of Iowa.
The latest circular of F. Lenders & Co., of
London, has the following on the situation
abroad:
The weather in Franc6 has beep of an un
favorable character, and has caused an 1m
provomenf in tho term markets, which have
recently had a fair advance. A cargo of white
wheat off oost -has also been purchased for
that country, but it may be as well to point
out that this wheat is only bought for the pur
pose of exporting in the shape of flour", and
there is no indication yet that France will be
an importer for home consumption. Should,
however, the present unfavorable weather con
tinue, the position might very -easily be altered,
btcause, as we pointed out all alpng. the last
crjp was deficient, and the country is working
on relatively small stocks until the new crop
become, available, so that a late harvest might
be very serious for France, and would, to a
certain extent, affect the international position.
All tho above leads us to the conclusion that
the weather from now onwards will be the
dominant factor In fixing values, and should we
have a return to real Summer weather both
hero and on the Continent, we should probably
see prices have a sljght setback, although after
the recent decline "holders show more disposi
tion to stiffen their backs, and are Indisposed
to make further concessions.
The "Liverpool Corn "Trade News, under date
of June If, has the followlpg comment on the
price outlook and on the crop conditions:
Liverpool This year wc are less prepared,
total "British and Irish demand, for all are
agreed that the supply of native wheat In these
Isl&nds Is almost exhausted. There are still
13 weeks to the middle of September, ucrir.g
which time we shall consume something like
7JO00.O0O quarters of breadstuff. It Is true
that the port stocks are now fairly large, and
might be trenched upon safely to the tune of
500.000 quarters without disturbing" prices, so
that an importation of 0,600,000 quarters be
tween now and the middle of September, eay
600,000 quarters per week, would suffice. This
quantity seems large, but unless the Continent
steps In and upsets calculations. It may he
considered as fairly well assured, although the
floating supply will, of course, be severely
drawn uoon in the interval. An unknown
quantity in the problem is the likely action of
French millers, who may have to enter the
f market before their new crop becomes availa
ble, and as the French weekly consumption
exceeds 1,000,000 quarters per week, the signifi
cance of -such a factor can hardly be exagger
ated. Some millers across the Channel are
known to be without stocks, and. Indeed, in
many countries .we believe there are Instances
similar to that recorded in our yesterday's is
sue, where, at a treat depot like St. Louis,
I the second largest milling center in the world.
mere ista stock or oniy ouw q-uan.er oi cv
' tract wheat. If fine weather, should set in
without much further delay, the present policy
tVour millers may be Justified, but they seem
to be taking a good "many very real risks for
the time being.
"Russia Favorable news continues to be re
ceive of the standing crops, which are growing
-well everywhere, and particularly so In the
southern district of the empire. 6ur Marlan
ople .(Sea qf AxofO correspondent reports cool
weather, with good rains, apd adds that the
appearance of the crops is excellent. Insects
have destroyed the crops In -wme parts of the
Marlanople district, but the area affected is
not large. The export movement of wheat Is
well maintained, but is slackening for ma! re,
and barley quantities are 'small.
Roumanla Writing from Bucharest, our cor
respondent tays that after five weeks of rains
they -have now had one week of fine weather,
very hot and dry. The critical period for the
wheat crop is now starting, that Is to say, the
time ot the forming and maturing of the grain.
The movement of wheat keeps liberal, and the
latge quantities of male are still coming for
ward. Austria-Hungary The weather last "reek was
changeable and rather cool, but on tho whole
favorable for the crops, of which prospects are
satisfactory, although there hare been some
complaints of rust and lodging. The official
indication of the Ministry ot Agriculture shows
an 'Increase ot 3,500,000 quarters on the final
returns of last year; other cereal crops also
show fair Increases.
Australia We have had confirmation ef the
good rains which we mentioned last week. The
fall appears to have been best in the south,
that is. in South Australia and "Victoria, for
New South Wales Is said to hare had Insuffi
cient, whilst in Queensland the drought appears
to be unbroken. "t
France Theweather keeps unseasonably cool,
and although, the promise Is still for a fair
yield, yet the crop Is backward, and the plant
la turning yellow on light soils and lodging an
heavy. According to a report received today,
it is nqw feared that the Interior reserves &ro
nearly exhausted, and, needless to say, under
such conditions, the markets are very firm. The
crops are entering the critical flowering period,
and a fine, warm period la urgently needed..
Germany The weather last week was more
seasonable, but the temperature still oelow
normal; however, the crops continue to. look
well, and thapeople are hopeful of good results,
provided that the warm weather sets in and
lasts.
..WOOL Eastern buyers are still taking 'over
liberal quantities ot wool at the big receiving
points in the interior, and a much larger por
tion "of the clip has moved out than at a cor
responding date last year. Prices show but
little change, and while the quotations glvec
are the ruling figures, they are sometimes ex
ceeded where large lots are taken. The most
of the buying thus far has been by Eastern
men, local buyers showing a disposition to hold
back. The situation in the East Is thus re
viewed by the New York Journal of Commerce,
under date ot June 28:
" Business in tho raw wool market does not
show any marked Improvement fpr the week
Just'endlng. While there appear to have been
more inquiries In the local market these inqui
ries have not developed into actual tranrac
tlons. A good many sample bags have been
sent out and there have been declarations to
the effect that if the wool proved satisfactory
purchases would be made to some extent. In
quiries have come to hand from several mills
during the week, and the" feeling still holds
among dealers that, owing to, conditions In the
woolen goods market, manufacturers will short
ly have to come Into the raw wool market for
supplies. Added strength Is given to this belief;
by the fact that, although a good many have
been ahlc to get through the season without
replenishing they have little or nothing at pres
ent with which to go forward, and as soon as
they begin on their next season will find It
necessary to replenish.
In many quarters a better .feeling is In evi
dence, owing to fair orders, having been secured
by garment manufacturers. Fine-grade wools
are decidedly firm and in somewhat better de
mand. B supers and Ca have been taken, the
former at prices ranging from 33e to 35c. Low
grade wools, however, still remain yery quiet.
and wool men are of the opinion that If any
easier prices are to be found, it will be In these
sorts. Texas and territory wools continue quiet,
with prices decidedly Arm. This is attributed
largely to a reported shortage in the clip. In
foreign wools some Very fair quantities of
Chinas have been mqved; these goods were sold
to arrive. The remainder of the foreign con
tingent, however, has remained quiet.
HOPS Fifteen cents per pound for new-crop
hops Is a pretty full figure to be paid so. early
In the season as July 1, but with business al
ready dono on this basis, it Is apparent that
there Is Increasing strength In the situation.
Advjees from New Tork are to tho effect that
cold, unseasonable weather has stunted the
vines, and tbere are also report of vermin, all
of which has given the New Tork market con
siderable firmness. In this state the condition
of the vines is very good. Mall advices from
Europe are as follows:
Canterbury, June 14. The hop plant is not
quite so forward as usual at this period of
the season, but In view of the cold tempera
ture lately experienced, with occasional frosty
nights, It has made fair progress. Bain has
helped on tho growth considerably, but warm
er weather Is now much needed, as the present
conditions conduce to an. unkindly state of the
plant, and are all In favor of tho fly and lice,
nqw all to plentiful throughout the plantations.
There is no speculation in the market, or prices
would rapidly advance.
Worcester, June 14. Trade remains quiet,
and no hops have been weighed at the public
scales this week, but although there is no quot
able alteration In prices, sound healthy Worces
ters are rather more difficult to buy. Planta
tion growth is. very backward, and crop pros
pects have not been 0 unfavorable at this time
of 3'ear since the cold "Summer of 1888. .Tho
attack oJT blight Is very severe, and the vine
hardly high enough for washing to be effective.
Ewburst. June 15 Tbe-vlpe has made very
little progress dprlng the past week, and is
verjr yellow and unkindly. Fly apd lice have
very much Increased, as many as 100 flies on a
leaf at places. Some growers talk of washing
this week, but after the low prices we have
had they have not much heart to start at it.
Tonbridge District, June 14. Short of vino
and a considerable quantity of fly.
FRUIT The rain yesterday held back re
ceipts of berries, and prices were higher all
round. Receipts of cherries were rather large,
but the belief that the crop had been injured
by the rain caused dealers to hold them up to
pretty good figures. California apples, peaches
and apricots are plentiful, and, with the ex
ception of apples, .whjch are very green, the
J- condition of the receipts Is excellent. Oranges
and lemons are scarce and htgh In California,
"but tho local demand was checked yesterday
by unfavorable weather, and prices show po
changes. Bananas are in over-supply, and
there are more pineapples on the street than
can be disposed of to good advantage. 6all
"fornla figs are ln'falr supply, at $I1 50 per
box.
3c, or. 19-1 6c c I. (.. which, on Cuban su
gars, is equal" to only 1.47c f. o. b., a price
so much below the duty as to give domestic
beets the enormous protection of 114 per cent.
The failure of the efforts to secure favorable
legislation Jn Washington naturally affected
market Jn Cuba, where much disappointment
was Mt, but holders there show no Inclination
to accept the low prices now quoted here, which
prices are simply another proof of the risk
producers subject themselves to when they ship
unsold sugars to this market. That refiners
should be unwilling buyers at the present time
is perfectly natural, for they have over 100,000
tons of sugar in Cuba which they have no
longer any motive to keep there, and till they
have brought it up and uso It an active spot
market must "be looked for. These low prices
will tend to check shipments and the natural
consequences will be a reduction In the receipts
here and an Improvement in prices once the
pressura to jell Is removed and refiners have
reduced their holdings in Cuba. Notwithstand
ing the increased cane crops. It is worthy of
notice that the receipts this year at the Atlan
tic ports are 277.0C0 tons less than they were
up to the same time last year, and are very
nearly as low as they were In 1000, when there
was great scarcity of sugar during the Autumn
and a resulting advance in centrifugals to 6c
The Atlantic ports having received -so much less
this year than last, there seems to be no doubt
that there will ultimately be room eAough here
for all the unsold sugar still held in Cuba,
which does not. after all exceeed 250,000 tons,
nor would It be surprising If beet sugars should
also be wanted, for consurantion here goes on
increasing, and the current low prices will cer
tainly stimulate the canning of fruit.
BUTTER There is considerable strength in
the butter market Just at present,- due to an
'excellent demand for store hutter for shipment
south, and for creamery to go north. , -Paget
Sound buyers are heavy purchasers In tho
"Willamette Valley; and tho drain' from the
north s keeping stocks of select butter down
to moderate proportions. At the same time
there are fairly good receipts of ordinary
creamery, which Is too good to sell at the
price of store butter, and hardly good enough
for tho figures paid for fancy creamery. Twenty
cents per pound Is the top quotation, but it Is
reported that some dealers are securing 22
in a small way for fancy selects which have
an established trade.
EGGS The market Is steady to firm at 20c
for choice, candled stock, and for ordinary of
fering prices are about 10c Quite a number
of rather poor eggs are coming In at the pres
ent time, and shippers would save money by
candling more closely.
POULTRT There Is an excellent demand for
all of the chickens that can be landed in Port
land before July 4. In fact, every dealer In
town has bad orders ahead for. them. Prices
are much better than last week. The strength
in poultry, however, is all confined to chickens,
for the trade seems to have po use for web
footed fowls, apd young ducks and geese are
going begging for byers. Some very fair young
duckswere offering in vain yesterday at f3
per dozen, and another dealer with a lot not
qulto so good tried in vain to get an offer of
$2 SO per doxen. In chickens, the preference
Is shown for fryers, but old hens are also
wanted, and mixed coops sell up around $4 per
dozen, and better.

Leonard Levrisoan's "Will.
NEW YORK. July 2. "Having", during
my life, tjiven largely of my means to
denarvlng charities, I make no charitable
bequests, leaving it to my children to
make such gifts out of the estato which
they receive -under my wni as they shajl
deem proper."
In this paragraph of his will, Leonard
Lewisohn, tJa copper magnate of thjs city,
who died In London on March 5 last, left
it to the discretion of his nine children
as to what cum should be laid aside from
his estate for charity. Following the sug
gestion contained In their father's will
the nine children agreed to contribute

SEV YORK STOCK MARKET.
Dullness Is Marked, and Only si Few
' Lines Are. ot All Active.
NEW TORK. July 2. The stock market was
extremely dull today, and tho only notable
activity was concentrated in a few stocks. In
some of these there were new developments to
give an ostensible cause for their strength.
In others, there was an aparance of manipu
lation with the purpose of sustaining the gen
eral market. The speculation was light, owing
to the largo operations in progress In the money
market owlnr to the July settlement, and of
syndicate operations. There were large trans
actions all day In Missouri Pacific, which sod
ex the semi-annual dividend of 2 per cent,
but the price range all day was restricted to a
fraction. Louisville was In actlvo demand at
the extreme advance of 3. The movement
seented to be based tjpen the formal announce
ment that the purchase in behalf of the com
pany of the Chicago, Indianapolis & Louisville
was In effect. Colorado Fuel made another
spurt, which was supposed to be due to a
struggle tor control, but which Incidentally
Involved forced buying by a distressed short
Interest. Short covering wss.also an element
In the advance of Sugar, and tho Tiie In the
price of raw sugar also helped that Btock. The
buying of Amalgamated Copper was attributed
to a more confident feeling over the trade out
look. The TJnltpd States Steel stocjes were firm, be
cause of the Increased net earnings reported for
the last quarter. The statistics ot Iron and
steel production for the past year Issued by
the "American Iron & Sttel Association were
regarded as an astounding exhibit of actlvo
and prosperous conditions In the trade. The
steel stocks, nevertheless, met. a considerable
volume of selling at the advance, a large por
tion of which was for London account.
The statement of the May net earnings of
the Pennsylvania system showing an Increase
of over $1,000,000 compared with May of last
year was taken as an lndyx of the large profits
accruing to the soft-coal carriers as a result of
the anthracite strike. The May statement ot
the Norfolk & Western made the showing bet
ter. The early firmness of the local traction
stocks was fostered by the Increased net earn
ings reported by the Brooklyn Transit system,
and by hopes of large profits from the coming
holiday traffic The rate for call loans showed
further ease today, but foreign exchange ad
vanced. The London money market showed ad'
dlttonal cace. but pressure was transmitted
from Parts, where there was an abrupt decline
of two centimes in the sterling rate. Yester
day's money market operations resulted In bal
ances to be met between the clearing-house
banks this morning of $24,043,457. which Is
the largest on record for that item.
The payments to an underwriting syndicate
for the Burlington purchase released large
sums to the market, and the disbursements of
Government intent affords jrelief from any
Subtreasury reducements. Today there wa
paid out by the Institution on account of Kloa-
TotaJ sales for the day, 2SS.300 shares.
