THE MORNING OREGONIAN, THURSDAY, JUNE 18, 1903. 15 BETTER FOR TRADE Outlook improved by Bright er Crop Prospects, GOOD MOVEMENT IN PRODUCE Variety of Opinions on the Hop Oat. look Conditions In the East New regoB Wool Reaches the Atlantic Seaboard. Cereals '"Wheat, quiet, steady; oats and barley, dull: flour unchanged. Hops Buyer and sellers apart. "Wool Active In Eastern Oregon, quiet In Valley. Green Produce Fruit and vege tables, active, steady; potatoes and onions, quiet. Farm Produce Poultry, weak; eggs, steady: butter, unsettled. Groceries Bice, higher; Sisal ropo, higher. Heats Beef and hogs, lower; veal, higher. Provisions Unchanged. Brighter crop prospects In the great -wheat belt of the Northwest are- encouraging to the grocery and merchandise Jobbing trade. It was feared earlier In the season that some of the Interior merchants were too heavily stocked, particularly as indications then point ed to a material decrease in the grain yield, but with nearly an average crop In sight, the situation has greatly Improved. In the local markets, the past -week -was -without special feature. Green produce -was active, and In abundant supply. Farm produce as a rule Is weaker. Nothing Is doing In hops. "Wool Is more active In Eastern Oregon than In the valley. WHEAT Well posted wheat men say stocks In first handi are smaller now than ever before known nt this time of year. No business at all Is reported with growers. Two large lots were recently taken by millers from ware housemen and shippers, equivalent to two car goes. The milling of this wheat leaves a com paratively small amount at tido water yet to be moved, say four or five cargoes, and about half the quantity is provided for in the way of chartered tonnage. The two transactions above mentioned were reported to have been made on the basis of 75 conts Portland. Ship pers quote the export valuo of club wheat today at one cent less. Eluestem Is quoted at ths usual premium of 8 cents, and valley Is being bought at 7077 cents. All crops were greatly benefited by the abundant rains of lost week, but still It Is believed the yield will be less than that of lost year. The following report of conditions In Europe was printed in the Northwestern Miller of, the 10th. from the pen of J. W. Bush, of London: The, Vnlted Kingdom March and May wer very wet, which usually means a poor yield per acre; weather now excellent. France Weather hot and dry, and the con dition of the greater portion of the crop Im proved. Probably one-third of the crop, how ever, has been Irremediably damaged. Germany The Prussian official report for May 15 makes the average condition 3.1, against 2.5 last year. In other words, it Is a poor crop, and likely to be 20 to 25 per cent below the average. Moreover, 20.79 per cent of the Autumn-sown wheat has been replowed. representing 650.000 acres. Applied to the whole of Germany this means a probable crop of 14,000,000 quarters, against 17.500,000 last year, Italy The prospects have improved in this country, but It Is not expected that the yield will equal last year's, which was estimated at 10,000,000 quarters. Italy Is this season third in importance among the wheat Importing countries of Europe, the United Kingdom of course coming first and Germany second. Spain Now reports better weather and good crop prospects. From Roumnnla, reports continue very fa vorable, and a good average crop is expected. Russia Very beneficial rains ha-e fallen this week in the afflicted districts In the south and southeast, so that the crop will not be so bad as was at one lme regarded probable. India The wheat harvest is now assured, and there is no dftubt that it Is a good one. Tha final official returns lia-e not yet been received except from Bengal, where tho yield Is 501.000 tons, against 391.000 last year. The total In dian crop Is likely to be not less than 31.000,000 quarters, as compared with 2S.000.000 last year. Since April I (the commencement of the In dian season) the shipments of wheat amount to 450.000 quarters, against 250.000 last year. Beductng the above summary of the European and Indian crop situation to figures, the fol lowing may be given as the present Indicated crop, compared with last year's corrected re turns. The explanation is mode that the Russian crop estimates are commercial, not 'official" figures, the latter being evidently exaggerated: - 1003 bus. 1902 bu. U. S.

FLOUR, FEED. ETC. No changes were made In local flour quotations during the week. The demand Is active, values are quite firm. The foreign situation Is as last re ported; no new business having been taken on. Mill feed of all kinds Is etrong in price, though there is lees Inquiry than a week ago, owing to the abundance of grass. Tho same condition Is checking the demand for hay and oats. Barley Is very dull. HOPS Absolutely no business is passing In the local hop market. Dealers will not raise their offers, and growers will not come to dealers' terms. The bulls and bears are de voting their energies to crop talk, the former reporting all the bad and the latter all the good yards, It might be well to suspend Judg ment on the matter until the hops have reached a growth where a definite estimate of the yield can ba made. The New York Journal or Commerce of the Oth Inst, said: Few reports were received from up the state relative to the extent of the rainfall. It was understood, however, that through the hop growing section the rainfall averaged one quarter Inch, which will be of material benefit after the prolonged dry spell. Advices re ceived from tho Coast continued to report fa vorable conditions In California and Washing ton, but the outlook in Oregon was erratic. Cable advices received from London said: "Vermin sticks; market firm but quiet." Later moll advices from Europe say that the srowjng nop crops on tne continent are making 'a pormlslng start. Buslnp lrvnitf m... light, buyers entering the market only when lorceu o ay xneir actual wants. Advices from the Coast also reported quiet conditions, hut growers were firm and would sell at full prices. Bids were reported made of 16s for contracts on 1903 Sonomas, but did not result In busi ness. The Waterrllle Times of June 5, says of hops: The dry weather Is having its effect now upon those hopyards that are not In the very prime of condition. The older yards and thoso set out last year are suffering, while those set out three and four years ago continue to hold their own. It Is not believed that the yield can be large under conditions now prevailing. New York State has been put down as good I or io oaics. inn is clearly way off. for with the larre d!mlrmfn in -. since last year even, and the many poor yards. bo euca amount can possioiy. je produced. Growers s.4 buyers, are. still a a staadoS. and no business seems possible at present." The New Tork paper of the 10th had the fol lowing: Advices received from tip the state reported that rains were general In the hopgrqwing section, and that with the breaking pi the drouth tho outlook for the growing crop was decidedly favorable. It is reported that on Saturday about 1350 bales of hops were shipped to London, but of this quantity It Is understood that about 1000 bales were con signed. Cable advices received from Germany reported that the prospects for the growing crop were favorable. WOOL Fairly good, prices have been real ized at the wool sales In Eastern Oregon and growers have generally expressed themselves as satisfied with the figures received. The sales In the Valley gave lees satisfaction. Local dealers will not pay the prices offered by In terior merchants, and the latter have there fore done much of the business to date. Sales will be held at Elgin and Dallas Friday. It Is not known what will be done about the sales .scheduled at Heppner Tuesday and Wednes doy. Tha wool Is there, but the sales will probably be postponed to a later date. The American Wool and Cotton Reporter of June 11 says: Oregon wools are slow of sale. Some of the old wool Is here and Is obtainable at 50 cents, clean. In Oregon the new wools are sell ing at prices ranging from 50 cents, clean, up wards. The wools are reported as shorter than last year. The now wools are coming along In Oregon slowly, but they have sold quite freely, about as fast as received, a Phila delphia worsted concern being the principal buyer. Sales ore reported to have been made at prices ranging from 14 to 15 cents. Sheep shearing plants are becoming popu lar In Oregon. This Is due largely to the fact that expert sheep shearers are becoming scarcer every year, and the clipping machine takes the wool off closer and with less harm to the sheep than the ordinary man can da. A sheep-shearing plant has been established near Baker City, Or. The plant consists of 23 machines of the latest Improved pattern. They are operated by steam and In the hands of a skillful operator will shear an average of 125 sheep apiece per day. Between 60,000 and 75,000 sheep are ready to be sheared by this concern, and It will take aoout 30 days to complete the work. PRODUCE Nearly every day eees the In troduction of some early variety of fruit or vegetables In the local market. New ap ples, plums, peaches, corn and cantaloupes are arriving la Increasing supply. The lat ter, which sold on their first arrival at $12 per crate, were offering at half that price yesterday. Other early varieties are declining about as fast. The trade In strawberries Is now largely between growers and retailers. Jobbers only receiving enough to fill shipping orders. The quantity of California vegetables arriving Is small, Oregon products taking Its place. The demand for poultry Is not equal to the PPly. and prices on all kinds are weak, ex cept for fancy Springs. Ergs are also com ing In better and though no change has been made In quotations. If the supply continues to Increase, prices may drop. There Is a diversity of opinion about the butter market, some houses having an overaupply and others being short. Those too heavily stocked are storing their surplus. Good creamery is b lng received from points as for away as Ida ho. Shipments are being made to the Sound, but they are not large. A great deal of store butter Is going to San Francisco. GROCERIES, MEATS, ETC An advance In rice was the only change In tho grocery list during the week. Sugar Is strong and some of the trade look for an upward move ment. Sisal rope advanced a quarter of a cent yesterday. Meats are In moderate request and steady In price, except beef and dressed hogs, which are lower. All hog products are as lost quoted. PORTLAND MARKETS. Grain, Elonr, Feed, Etc.

I-ACIC OF MOISTURE. Gives Some Strength to the Chicago Wheat Market. CHICAGO. June 17. Trading In wheat early In the day was decidedly dull and with fa vorable harvesting weather, outside markets generally lower and cables without interest, the market during the first half of the session showed a tendency to decline. July opened ii&hio higher, and September a shade to He lower at 73$4373c to 73?iC and later selling to 7354c Toward noon the sentiment In the pit assumed a bulletin aspect and prices ral lied. July advancing to 7SHo and September to 74Hc The late strength In corn, together with reports of a lack of moisture In Jhe Northwest, was the reason for the rise. Sep tember closed c up, at 74fcc Corn ruled eailer during the first part of the resslon on the excellent weather conditions, but later In the day there was a renewal of the buying which has been a feature for tho post few days, and the market became ex tremely bullish. July closed Ho up at 605c. Oats were easy early on the favorable weather and the more assuring tone of the Govern ment weekly crop bulletin. Tho close, how ever, was firm. Provisions were dull, with prices barely steady, there being little demand from any source.

Today's operations In stocks were made up almost wholly ot profes sional operations of a testing character. These seemed to demonstrate to the satisfaction ot the testers that stock was for sale and had to be met on advances and that the offerings down of prices did not promise large success In dislodging selling orders. The consequent was a progressive dullness in the trading and sluggishness In fluctuations. This agrees with the general expectation cf the most experienced observers who saw In the sudden rally of last Thursday the natural course following a culmination of the Ions decline and leaving a large short interest uncovered after the urgent liquidation had been completed. With the satisfaction ot this short Interest, prices halted and then declined, but without getting back to the low level of last Wednesday, although they were near It yes terday morning. After these various fluctu ations the market naturally fails Into a per iod of fee.ble and hesitating movements on ope rations by room traders whlle awaiting a new development In the general situation. In their attempt to move prices, the profes sional operators made capital this morning of the expectation that gold would be en gaged for export to Germany tomorrow. Actual inquiry was made at the astoy office by one International house looking to a shipment of gold, as the strength of foreign exchange here and the trade decline In sterling at Berlin brought the- operation closely within the rongq cf profit. Some selling of stocks this morning for London account here added to the require ment for exchange, but London turned buyer later In the day. On the upturn. Pennsylvania was mode the leader of the market and was lifted at on time more than 2 points. The movement In this stock seemed to be due to organized ef forts and was attributed to the rate at which subscriptions are being made by stockholders for tho new stock. It la reported that In many cases stockholders are paying their sub scriptions In full, although the requirement is for the payment of only a 50 per cent In stallment, and the time for Its payment ex tends to June Tu. The settlement of the anthracite conciliation board al& helped Pennsylvania, as It did the coalers, notably Reading. A reactionary ten dency In the groin and cotton markets was on unfavorable factor and was especially ef fective In Atchison. Missouri Paclflc and the Southwesterns. The bidding up of Wabash was based on rumors that the Gould-Pennsylvania Interests have been harmonized, but the abrupt relapse In the stock gave rise to an ap pearance of manipulation. Colorado Fuel and Its convertible bonds suffered a violent de cline, and only partial rallies on account ot the published reports of a delay m payment yes terday of obligations falling due. officially explained as due to a misunderstanding. Re alizing during the last hour completely wiped out the day's gains, except for a point saved for Pennsylvania, and the closing was lifeless and hear. The movement of bonds was Irregular In sym pathy with stocks. Total sales, par value. $2,090,000. United Sta'tes coupon 3s advanced per cent on the last call. 5? STOCKS.
