IVheat rields Show Bad Effect ot Cold Spring and Lack of Rain. THE DALLES. Or.. June 5. Sneclal.)-The train outlook In Wasco County is not at this lime very flattering. Early In the season the I'aH-soT-n wheat on the lands within ten or 15 nlles of the Columbia River, where the soil Is Pght, had everr nroroect of a larire t-ImIiJ. Th jontlnuous cold Spring and lack of rain have eft their effects vers- apparently upon the lelds through that striD of countrr. Tvc-h jUdge, the old reliable and famous grain-pro- luclng section of the county, still promises a ilr yield, although without more rain there 1111 be a material falling off In the usual out- iut of that section. The cold, dry Spring has tot as yet placed any portion of the wbcat trowing section beyond the point of recovery kith warm weather and freouent showers. IVlthout both of these, however, the yield in Vasco County will Inevitably be less than isual. HOP PROSPECTS AXD MARKET. leather More Favorable for Grorr- ing- Crop No Trading. The weather continues favorable for hops in tils state and prospects are improving. Esti mates of the new crop are placed generally at 15.000 bales. The weather is faorable In Eng- nd. In New York they are still having a Jrouth, but so far It has not resulted in much lamege. Eastern markets are quiet, with buv- Irs and sellers finding it difficult to get to- t ether on a common basis. In the local mar et the situation is even worse. Buyers sar jhey cannot pay over 20 cent, while growers re asking as high as 25. The deadlock is corn et. alley Wool Active. The market for Valley wool Is active, with a lumber of sales recently made at lGl7c. hout 200.000 pounds of Valley wool have been lecelved at Portland to date. Success of Count Newtown. Virginia growers claim that the success of regon and California Newtowns over Virginia llbemarlea is due to the superiority la pack ing of the Western apples. Inasmuch as Ore- kon and California Newtowns have held their dtlon as leaders In the British market for .-ears, and the Englishman Insists upon high fcuallty In all articles Intended for his con sumption, it is evident that the leadership of Ihe "Western apples Is based on something nore substantial than character of packing. 3e Pajaronlan cays: Our style of packing apples can be copied. but the quality of the Paclflo Coast Newtowns not been duplicated.

Heavy Llo.HidatloB Forced by Exten sive Callln-p of Loans Advance In Amslftr&B-ated Copper. NEW YORK. June 5. The bears had a field day on the Stock Exchange today and the professional operators sold stocks with such enthusiasm that they found themselves some what ever extended toward the close and had something of & scramble to get back stocks to cover their shorts. The turbulent and ex cited market gave rise to many rumors of all degrees of credibility. These all pointed to disaster during the early part of the day, while the prevailing sentiment quickly shift ed In a manner very characteristic of the stock market to exceedingly roseate views when prices turned upward In the anal hour. This final rally made It clear that professional raiding tactics played an Important part In the day's declines. But the unsettled state of feeling among street security holders was clearly evident from the success of the raid ers In dislodging long stock. That there was heavy liquidation during the day is beyond question. Part of it was forced by extensive calling of loans. The forecast of the bank statement gave a plausible reason for this contraction of credits In the decline la cash reserve for the week. The calling of loans, according to these views, was on ac count of cn of the powerful financial groups with the purpose of forcing down prices and thus affording an opportunity to buy in at an advantage. The stocks In which this financial group Is the dominant power have been among those roost severely handled in the late collapse and the gossip of the boardroom credited the leaders of this group with an additional purpose to 'extend their power into other fields. Aa Influential voice In ,the affairs of the Pennsylvania Railroad Is alleged to be the aim of the campaign and to explain the recent persistent attacks on Pennsylvania stocks for the purpose of accumulating. A story that heavy holdings of Amalgamated Copper had been taken over from a conspicu ous Boston operator at a level below the mar ket was said to be an additional reason for the change to the buying side of the market by the capitalists referred to. Amalgamated Copper, after clipping another point from Its low record this morning, did become aggres sively strong In the afternoon, rising 2 points over last night. Pennsylvania afterwards low ered Its record by & small traction, but devel oped support that became rather steady, al though very active around last night's level. The bad effect upon sentiment of the recent large selling in this stock was still perceptible today. Fears for the crops obviously played a large part also In the day's heaviest declines, which were among the cotton and corn grangers. The Southwestern cotton carriers were es pecally affected and Atchison and Union Pa cific touched a new low record for the movement- The late rally resulted in the recovery cf a substantial portion of the early losses and some of the principal active stocks on the list closed a fraction higher. With a loss to the Subtreasury by the banks, principally on account of the gold exports of $7,140,000 and estimates of a net receipt on the Interior movement of only about 4,000,000, a net con siderable Impairment of the scanty surplus of the banks is indicated un'.ers the stock market liquidation has made much more Impression upon loans and deposits than has been showa by recent bank statements. Wide declines In high-grade Investment stocks seldom traded In were a feature of the day. The doping was quite firm, although there were a few reces sions from the best prices touched on the rally. Bonds were weak- Total sales, par value, $2,700,000. United States old 4s and 2s ad vanced U per cent and the 3s per cent on the last call. Hcvr York Stocks.

Trading In wheat was decidedly active durlpg the early part of the session today and shorts covered freely while commission-houses also had considerable buying orders. Reports that the crop damage had been largely overestimated began to come in later In the day and local traders began to feel uneasy over the situation which resulted la an lmmen-e amount of long wheat being thrown on the market. The demand was not urgent at the start and In consequence prices declined, helped to a large extent by the break in St. Louis, July selling oft to 75c. Some late buying on a rally at St. Louis caused a better tone and the close was steady with July a shade lower at 75fJ76c There was a big trade In corn throughout the entire session with commission-houses do ing & large part of the business. The market was extremely bullish at the opening, due to the unfavorable crop prospects and everybody seemed disposed to buy. With July up to 49. the ntlment in the pit changed and liquidation on a large scale set in which caused a reaction In the jrlce. A rally oc curred later In the sessionand closing prices were steady with July unchanged, after sell ing between 48c and 49c Provisions were dull and undecided most of the day. Influences affecting the market were about evenly divided and little change In price was manifested early in the session. Covering by shorts later In the day caused firmness and September pork closed 10s higher at $16.05; September lard was up 537c at SS.0268.95. and ribs 10c higher at f9.02. Oats were active all day and prices were higher. The unbroken drouth in the East and the firmness in the cash market were the main supporting influences. Offerings were very scarce early in the day, but later with prices at tho top notch there was considerable liq uidation by local longs and prices receded.

Railway EarnlB-cs Sfeorr Good In crease Over Last Year Iron and Steel Baying; Backward. NEW YORK. June 3. R. G. Dun Ss. Co.'a weekly review of trade tomorrow will say:- The elements provided the only unfavoraDle developments of the week, and while these may not prove far-reaching In their effect, their first result is seen in greater conservatism. Dispatches regarding trade conditions at the leading cities are generally encouraging. Rail way earnings In May were 12.7 per cent larger thaa last year, and 25.4 per cent greater than in 190L There is still an Inclination to defer placing ot contracts for Iron and steel. The United States Steel Corporation has bought 103,000 tons of pig Iron, chiefly for delivery during the third quarter, but the recent readjustment of quotations has not stimulated general activity la the Industry. On the contrary, there Is still hope ot further -concess lens, and buyers are dis posed to get the full benefit- Importations are no longer encouraged, and domestic producers are prepared to accept more export orders thaa was possible when home markets were Tinder great pressure. Railway Improvements and extensions are again under consideration, and much work will be done when confidence Is re stored regarding the labor situation. ' Textile Industries show no material Improve ment. Sellers ot cotton goods are unwilling to accept contracts for distant deliveries, and even on Immediate business there Is little dis position to accept the prices offered. Interior trade reports are less favorable. Western busi ness being affected by floods, while drouths at the East and numerous strikes restrict con sumption. Conditions as to woolen goods are practically unchanged. Prospects continue bright in the footwear industry- The average of domestic bides Is again higher, and Colo rado sold on a par with native steors. Failures this week in the United States wern 182, against 206 last week, 119 the preceding week, and 218 the corresponding week last year.

FARM PRODUCE AT HIGHER PRICES Commercial Situation on the Whole Is Favorable. NEW YORK, June 5. Bradstreet's tomorrow will say: Wholesale trade is still seasonably dull, and disastrous floods have checked trade and trans portation In the Southwest. The situation, as a. whole, however. Is still far from unfavor able. Higher prices for farm products of all kinds favor some compensation to producers from this source. The country's foreign trade promises well, failures are down to a low minimum and bank clearings, though reduced by dullness In stock speculation, point to record totals outside of a few Important speculative centers. Price read justments, where lower quotations are neces sary, as in Iron and steel, go on without dis organisation, and the feeling grows that much demand discouraged by former high prices may shortly develop. Railroad gross earnings thus far reported for the month or May show a gain of 11 per cent over last year, while April net returns indi cate profitable operation. Relatively the best trade reports come from the Northwest, and the country between the Ohio River and the Lakes and the Mississippi and the Alleghanles. Men's woolen wear goods are in fair demand, and worsteds are slow. Dress woolens are doing well. New wool Is active at the West, and dealers are reported free buyers at prices relatively higher than current quotations for the Western shoo Job bers, and manufacturers are busily employed, and the same is true of New England. Iron and steel prices tend lower. Southern Iron has been formally marked down this week $2 a ton. Bessemer pig has remained fairly steady, but steel billets are reported easier at Pittsburg and at Chicago. Present prices of Iron and stel would seem to preclude liberal imports of foreign material, except where ex ports are contemplated. The settlement of the Amalgamated Association wage scale tends to give stability to this trade, and the feeling Is that the lowered cost ofvthe crude pig Iron makes for fully as profitable returns to manu facturers as formerly. Numerous strikes In the building trades limit demand for lumber, brick, builders' hardware, and. In fact, all classes of building material, hut structural material remains surprislngly good in view of this. It Is raid oa good au thority that the coal trade ,was never In better shape than at the present time, and the con sumer continues to pay freely the entire coat of last year's great strike. Retail prices of window glass are expected to acvance.
