THE MORNING OREGONIAN, -FRIDAY, APRIL 21, 1905. 15 ITS QiRT Samples of 1905 Wool Clip Are Coming In. EASTERN OREGON SHEARING Many Growers Still Selling the Prod uct on - the- Sheep's- Back. ( Prices Aro Strong Here ' and in the East. Sheep shearing Se genoral now In Eastern Oregon. The few samples that have been re ceived here .show very good quality, as cons pared with former clips. It Hill be a full month before all the sheep arc sheared east rr the mountains, and two weeks before bearing begins in the "Willamette Valley. There la still muoh contracting in alt the Eastern counties, except around Shanlko, where most of the growers are bpkllng their wool for the shedulod sale, days. Prices are jh a very Arm basis; and It Is the general .Pinion In the trade that If there Is a hange in values it will be In an upward di rection. Dealers here arc quoting Kaetern Oregon wools at 152 IS cents and Valley at 20624c. The sales days as fixed-Tor Eastern Oregon arc as follows: rendloton May 22, June 13 and June 20. Heppner May 25, June 9. June 20 and June 29. Shanlko June C, June 28 and July 5. In addition to the sales in various parts of th' state recently reported by wire, the Lake- M'w Herald, of April 13. says: Bailey & Maaslngill during the past week made the largest wool purchase made In Lake Ceunty this year, when they bought the 100.- O00 pouBd clup. belonging to Soott & Adams, They are among the largest wooJgrowers in tills section, arid while they reside in Modoc I'ounty their alieep afe grazed In Lake and Malheur Counties, principally in Lake. There still Tcmains (n Lake County perhaps 100, 000 pounde of, wool that has not been sold, belonging principally to William Harvey and Philip Lynch. The firm tone of the Eastern markets is hown by the following from the Boston Commercial Bulletin of April 15: The situation has become stronger here. with a lively Interest In foreign wools shown. Australian wools, and to a lesser extent South American, have been the feature of the week. with a movement of 8000 to 10.000 bales, moo;- y Australian, reported. A feeling in sym pathy with the strenuous activity In the "West Is apparent to ail. Operations continue In the Western sheep states with unabated !gor; competition is keen, nd the buyers are scrambling for wool and offering all kinds of prices. In Idaho, Utah, Wyoming and California prices are hardening. Several hundred thousand pounds have been con tracted in Idaho at 16 to 20 cents, and at ast 600.000 pounds in Utah at 16 to 18 cents. In Wyoming the Crosgllff clip, amount ing to between 00,000 and 700,000 pounds. has been contracted at 17 cents, which last sear cost about 13 cents, to a Philadelphia Cm. Wyoming clips which sold for 14 to 16 cents last year have brought as high as 22- this season. The farmers of Montana want 25 cents for their wool, but as buyers at the present consider 19620c a fair price. tttie contracting has been done there lately. Texas eight -months wool Is now being shorn, wjth bids of IS to 19c from buyers and hold ers asking 20622c. One lot of Utah wool amounting to 250.000 pounds brought 1661c, which last year was sold at 9c; about 1,500. 000 pounds in "Western.. Idaho sold this yoar for 17620c. and last -year the price was enly 1213c. Some shorn wool has been eojd in the West at prices higher than the contract prioee. At Red Bluff. Cat. 1.000,000 pounds were sold at 2425e. Arizona Is about ceaed tip, with some arrivals which have been sold on a basis of C25?53c. and the rest cf the clip is now on the way here. There is mere doing in Oregon, but contracting In that state and Montana Is not as general as m the other wool states. California Is rractlcallv all contracted, with the bulk of the clip sold around 2624c. There Is nothing doing In spot Oregon wools in the Boston market, as stocks are well leaned up. Prices will remain nominal un til the arrival of the new clip. California wool is well disposed of. except on me pmall lots of scoured which are held i basis of 5065SC Montana Wool Sold In Advance. Bt'TTE, Mont.. April 20. A. Lewiston Mont.) dispatch says wool men there say that almost the entire clip will have been deposed of before the market opens. Contractors hav iured the state, and. while the clin will be urusually large. It is thought Ics than 10 per rent will be left when the regular time for I'Ublic rales arrives. The average price being paid is in the neighborhood of 28 cents. Washington Crop Report. The Washington weokly crop bulletin says .n tart: The weather -was very favorable for Spring woik, such as plowing, harrowing, seeding and planting. If was not unfavorable for the growth' of grain and grass, although the iool nights have made growth somewhat slow. "Winter wheat Improves slewly. and its rresent condition is very satisfactory. Con uderable early vn Spring wheat has com up. and only needs some warm and moist weather to make It grow rapidly. Spring wheat sowing is nearly completed. In all cx -er-t late localities. Barloy and oat sowing are .- also well along, except oat ow ng In the lowlands of Skagit County, where it is not half done yet. Farm rra arc not very far along with potato plant Ing. Some early potatoes are up. but are rot crowing1 rapidly. Karly gardens arc In a satisfactory stage of progress. - PORTLAND MARKETS. ' Grain. Hour. Teed. Etc Wheat Club.

STOCKS SLIDE OQWNWAHD , 3IAXY FACTORS WEAKEN N'EW YORK 3IARKET. Northern Securities Situation Lead ing One Effect of Internation al Politics on Speculation. NEW YORK. April 20. The cloud of sus picion and distrust which has been gather ing over the stock market during the whole of the "week, broke today with some vio lence. The decline was contested In the early stages, but gathered force as It was extended. The quick exhaustion of the buy ing demand on the occasional rallies was a sufficient evidence to the professional traders that the speculative position was still vul nerable. They returned to the attack ac cordingly again and again and on each suc cessive slump the weight of the offerings dis lodged was greater. The market proved to be honey-combed with stop-lo.s orders, which have bone jtreatly Increased as the confidence In the stability of the market was Impaired. The amount of the decline was sufficient to wipe out some of the margins of tho more substantial classes, and In all classes of speculative holdings to Impair the margin to such an extent as to lead to a very gen eral call for additional collateral. The principal Influence In the trading prob ably was the Northern Securities-situation and the great skepticism which has been aroused by the swarm of rumor centering about the dissolution of the company and the plans which were expected to grow out of it. The announcement made during me session that the $155,000,000 of Northern Pa cific stock would be admitted to be traded in on the stock exchange- In the unlisted depart ment on Monday next was regarded aa a danger to the 'speculative position in that stock and In Nortbcrp. Securities, owing to the free market that will be afforded for the stock. Northern Securities on the curb fell to the low level of Tuesday's break, and It will be observed that the transcontinental stocks and those connected with thorn In the deal rumors were the principal sufferers in the stock exchange. The determination of operators to get out of their holdings was accentuated by the three day holiday to bo faced, practically all the Important exchanges ot tne worio dihs doted until next week with the possibility ox Important events greater than under ordinary circumstances. The diplomatic exchange in progress between Japan and Franco on the question of neutrality and between Germany and Franec- over conditions In Morocco and the Increasing chance of a naval encounter in tne Par Pia.it were warnlntr influences m mis field. The sliraimr of the stock transfer tax at Albany was offered as a professed reason by manv of the traders for their selling ot siocks on the exound that their operations nuiu be greatly hampered and restricted Dy inio law. which does not go Into enect, noweter. until June. The embittered controversy in the Equitable Life Assurance Society was feared for Its disturbing effect on confidence in financial conditions at large. Tne nurn in call money and the Vlump in the wheat market aggravate the weakness of stwcks ana opposed an attempted late rally. ;ine mar vt drd weak at about the lowest. Bonds were weak In sympathy.

April 20.-(Sptcial.)-A prominent bay dealer Just returned from an extended tour ot the state says the prospects for the biggest h.ay crop on record seem as stired. but It Is too early lo determine what portion will be really choice hay. The crop will be several weeks earlier than' last year. Cheap hay Is over abundant at present, and prices for general offerings rule low. Offer Ings of strictly fancy grain hay are scanty and such hay commands full prices. Leading fecdstuffs are in light supply and firm, but the demand Is small on account of the abund ance of grass feed. The local grain board will be closed to morrow and open Saturday. Trade was dull today, the features being the easiness of wheat and the stronger tone to barley. Oats were quiet and steady. . Receipts of cherries are rapidly Increasing, Prices arc weakening and shipments to the north by steamer will soon commence. Th early crop will be Isrge and of good qual Ity. provided the showers are not too heavy The open market for oranges was lightly sup plied and closely cleaned up on all grade with prices slightly higher. About five cars are scheduled for tomorrow's auction. In the dried fruit market prunes are much firmer on reliable reports that the next crop will fall short of early estimates. New potatoes are more plentiful and eas ier. Old potatoes are quieter. Onions are firm. Asparagus Is higher. Peas are lower. Butter is firmer. Cheese Is steady. Eggs are firm.

GATES SAID TO HAVE ABANDONED THE DEAL. Price Tumbles Fire Cents in Chicago Pit Sales Estimated at Between Two and Five Million Bushels. CHICAGO. April 20. The price of wheat for May delivery broke an even 5 cents a bushel here today. The slump was generally be lieved to be evidence of abandonment of the deal In May wheat by John W. Gates. Heavy liquidation ot May was in evidence In the early part of the session. Buylnc by shorts caused a partial recovery, but the market closed weak, with May down 3c July wheat closed. 6c down. Corn was up 6c oats were practically unchanged and provi sions were off 265c. Weakness in the wheat market was mani fest at the start Initial quotations on May were off 6C at $1.1361.13. July was a shade to c' lower, at 87c to S7S87c Conditions generally were favorable to the bears. One of the main influences was rain throughout Nebraska, Iowa, Illinois, Kansas, the Ohio Valley and parts of Missouri. Appre hension concerning drouth damage to the growing wheat was thus relieved. Soon af ter the opening May suffered perceptibly on what seemed to be moderate profit-taking. the price declining to $1.12. Active buying of July by Armour, however, gave support to tne entire market, as a result Jiay quicKiy rallied to $1.13. Later, the selling ot May became extremely heavy and prices rapidly declined. A story that started a flood of offerings In the pit was that John W. Gates had effected a private settlement with the Armour forces whereby Gates would turn over 10,000.000 bushels. at or very near the dollar mark. Offers to sell May wheat came apparently from almost every trader In the pit. The re sult was that bedlam marked tho sensational decline which followed. The May price did not Stop until it reached $1.08. Sales ot May wheat on the break were estimated at between 2,000.000 and 3,000.000 bushels. The story of the alleged settlement of the May deal was not believed on all sides. There was considerable gossip to the effect that Gates and his followers had shitted the May deal to Armour and others and were get ting Into July against the sale of May. Dur ing the sharp break In May. distant deliver ies also sold off. July declining to 86c. The market made a partial recovery late In the seesion on buying by short?, but the cioee was weak with MaJ at $1.10. July closed at 8787c. Notwithstanding the slump in wheat, the corn market was steady. July opened un changed to a shade lowr at 47:6-17c to 47c. and closed at 47647e. Sentiment In the oats pit waa rather bear ish, owing to heavy rains throughout the country. July opened Vc lower, at 29143! 29c. sold between 29c and 29c. and closed at 29629c. Provisions were oasier. influenced, by lower prlees for live hogs. At the close July pork was off 2e; lard and ribs were each down 65c. The leading futures ranged as follows: WHEATi Open. HIeh. Low.

Strong reeling in Tig Iron Market, but No Increase in ales. CLEVELAND, O.. April 20. The Iron Trade Review this week says: The effect of the April pig iron statistics, showing an apparent consumption In March of approximately 2.000.000 tons, has been to strengthen sentiment, but without Increasing rale?. Foundry iron consumers have Iron bought that will carry them to midsummer. In some cases further. No serious Intention of importing foundry pig iron exists. Tho market for all descriptions of pig Iron has been quiet. In - the past week. In foundry opcrtaions cast Iron pipe is still a conspicu ous feature. The steel trade continues buoyant, and ex pansive., and tho scarcity of steel billets is the feature of the. market. Already there are numerous Inquiries for foreign steel. A sale Chamber of Commerce of small billets at $2S Pittsburg, represents the highest premium yet paid. Import billets are now quoted at $29 at seaboard, or $31.25 Pittsburg. In the West axle billets have been In demand. Structural work leads In Interest for the rolling mills. The American Bridge" Com pany booked 30.000 tons in the first half of the "month, as compared with 40,000 as the average month's business. The past week put 6000 tons of railroad work on this com pany's books with 5000 tons for new factory- work practically closed. A constant source of solicitude Is the possibility ot trouble In building trades in the Eafit, From two to three months ahead on light shapes and con siderably less on heavy materials Is the pres ent state of-"mill schedules. The plate mills can make promise within a month on Bes semer material. An open heart 60 days is the usual limit. Without very much atten tion rail-buying goes on steadily. One East ern contract this week was for 33,000 tons for Panama. It Is known that the production of Russian Manganese ores will be much curtailed owing to the labor uprising; and estimates put the reduction In output of fcrro-manganese by foretgn furnace at 125,000 tons. There !&a been considerable buying for American ac count lately at advancing- prices. As one of the first fruits of the Eastern war, some im portant business In Iron and steel works con structed in Japan, and In China as well, is being figured on In this country. The southern Iron consolidation is now treated as a thine- reasonably certain to come but not imminent. Mlninsr Stocks, SAN FRANCISCO.
