HOPS Buyers and sellers awaiting developments. There tviU be no lack of eggs for consump tion In Portland during the Fair, judging by the rate that local dealers and speculators have bene storing thm In the last few days. It iff estimated that 10,000 cases have been stored here up to date and more are. going Jn every day. If this, with the usual supply expected In the meantime, does - not prove adeQuate, the middle Western States can be drawn upon for an unlimited quan tity. The maricet yesterday .was weak and de pressed by the large receipts. Notwithstand ing storage operations, stocks 'accumulated everywhere. Actual market va'ues may be quoted at 173?18 cents In single case lota a few selects brought 1S. cents. On the other band, large quantities were, reported to be offered is low as 17 cents. A country merchant writes that the production In his neighborhood has fallen off 50 per cent in the last few days, but this does not agree with reports from other lections. It Is not likely 'that the supply will decrease much be fore. June 1. Then smaller receipts can be locked fcr and storage eggs will be In order until the second laying period, which will come In September. The ergs now stored liere, which are taxing the capacity of florae of the plants, as the quantity is greater than ever before put awty. should last until well toward the end cf Ortrbtr. whes bhlpments of Eastern eggs will he resumed. SXXjyi HOTTER MOVEMENT. Lc.rer CtJltS'.-.tzla. Market May Have Bad ECect Here. The decline in the price of city .butter to the &-ctnt basis has not stimulated,the local de mand to such an extent as to. cause any Improvement in the mu-keL - There is lesw of an accumulation, however. as liberal quantities are going Into cold storage. . Front street In general is In better shape than "It" has been for some time, ae a num ber of the largest houses have cleaned up. Speculators yesterday were active and bought freely at prices ranging from 17Vs cents to a' fraction under 20. according to quality and quantities taken. Much of the stock so taken was sent to Seattle. The movement in country atore butter is heavy, as there is a strong California demand for anything marketable. The opinion Is generally expressed, that bottom ha betn touched In the creamery market.. The price Is where storing can be profitably done, and in addition to this, the warm weather, which can now bs expected, will create other demands for cream than for use in butter. This will offset in a measure the Increased cream production In May. One disturbing factor, however, has developed, the 2"i-cent drop In the East Monday. This has put a stop to Eastern shipments from Cali fornia and in turn may be the means of sending California butter here again. Port land will escape from this if the San Fran cisco market goes low enough so speculators there vcan store. SEASON WILL BE SHOUT. California Berries. Will Have Small Chance In This Market. Tbe season for California berrlts la going to be short, so far as the Portland market Is concerned. Oregon berries will begin arriving freely in a few days. . and before long will crowd tho - Calif ornlas out' Only one crate of Oregon strawberries arrived yesterday. They were from Dlllard, and brought 25 cents a pound. The California fruit sold for $1.50 1.75. Some of the Southern berries were In fine condition, but much of the lot was roor. .Heavy rains in California have made It difficult to ship berries in prime condition, and carelessness in tranrportation has had something to do with landing the fruit here in unmarketable shape. " The growers of Florin dispose of nearly all their crop In Port land and points reached from this city, but as the Oregon berry crop Is unusually early this year, it will be on the market almost before the California product has established Itself and will soon crowd the latter out. PRODUCE BY STEAMER. Good Market for California Garden Truck Much at Seasonably Lower Prices. Testerday's steamer produce was landed in fine shape and moved off well, much of It at seasonably lower prices. Considerable quantities of jiew carrots, turnips and beets were received. T"he season for California as paragus is nearly over, as heavy receipts are coming In from Walla Walla. The latter Is green, fijssh and tender, and offers at S1.25S 1.50 per . box, according to size, as against f 1.75 2 per crate for California. Mexican to matoes are in light supply at I3.25ff3.50 per crate of four baskets. Florida tomatoes are on the way and will be offered at $6.50 per crate of six baskets. Some small green onions arrived by boat and were held at 12"c per dozen, but there was no need for them, as Oregon onions are plentiful. Rhu barb Is also in full supply, string beans, peas, .radishes and such ' truck Is abundant. Garlic is quoted at an advance. Colorado potatoes were offered to the trade at $191.10. and were bought freely, owing to the high price at which Oregon Burbanks are held. Old, Oregon onions are very scarce, but Australians are in good supply. ' - ' Tropical Fruit Firm. Three cars 4f oranges were received yes terday". The .market is -very Arm, with prac tically no fancy navels obtainable. "Bananas were in good' supply and sold well at a firm price Pinespples aro stiff at 17.50 cr dozen. Lemons were not so stlve yester day,aa on Moaday. owing io the change In the weather - , '. ' Hop Trade Is "Waiting. No trading is being dene in tho hop mar ket now. Everybody is waiting to see what will como of the growers meeting. Holders naturally will not sell op the eve of the promised developments, and buyers, finding the market bare of offerings, are likewise wait ing to see what will turn up. ' A few Chinese are -on the market with small lots, but they are slow sellers at any price. New Thing in. Alfalfa. Hay is plentiful, weak and ' hard to move, owing to the abundance of green feed in the country. Some of the mills have' put a new product on the market In -the. shape al .pul verized alfalfa Ifthey can create a, mar .ket for the article ft . may-.belp the situation some. There Is considerable steadiness shown in the oats market, with some sales of white in a small -way, at $28 per ion. Grax oats are In very limited supply locally, and will not bring, over. $27. ;ht barley market is neglected. Bank Clearings.

'EiintinK of Corn, -r-otstWs, Beets and' Gar dens 'Pushed. The weekly crop bulletin 0f the Weather Bureau. Oregon section. Issued yesterday by Station Director Beals. says in part: The weather during the . week has: been favorable for germination and growth and the . soil Is in good " working condition. A large amount of Summer fallowing has been doneand the planting of com. potato, sugar beets and gardens has been pushed. Spring Vheatseeding. except on very low land. Is practically completed. All grains and grasses have made excellent growth during the week, and the: crops are generally In a very promising condition. The sugar beet acreage in the Grand Rone Valley has been consid erably Increased. Cut worms have made their appearance in the onion fields of Washington County; but the damage done by- them -has been slfeht. Hops are very thrifty: the vines in many yards reach to the top of tho poles and their training la In active pragress. Stock everywhere is In fine eoadltion; the flow of tnllk In the dairy districts Is abund ant; the Increase of lambs is above the av erage snd sheep shearing has become gen eral. Peaches, pears, prunes, plums, cherries and apricots have been more or less Injured by the late frosts: in some few localities very light yields are expected, wblle la other sections the outlook is much better. The late varieties of apples have not bloomed as full as usual. Strawberries are doing well. LIVESTOCK MARKET.

RECOVERY NOTED IN STOCKS SUBSIDENCE OF FRIGHT OF THE SPECULATORS. TJnipn Pacificist. Punl anil New ..York- Central .lVcadih. tho .."Upward 3Iovcmcnt. NEW, TORK. April 2S. Tha fright of spec nlators" in'stocks showed" svldence of .sub sidence today. and,, as was to be expected, after the violence of the recent downward plunge, there was a recovery in prices. It was to bt expected also that the stocks which had . led the decline should be especial ly affected by the demand from uncovered shorts, which, constituted the principal fac tor la tha recovery. Union Pacific, St. Paul and New Xork Central were the principal examples in the railroad list, in the indus trial list an aggressive tone was taken of th recovery in sonie of the stocks -which have offered comparatively good resistance to the- decline, notably In the metal group.. There was a very distinct falling off In Interest In the- market, however, and traces of nervousness and feverishness were still very perceptible This was' especially the case early in the day. but relaxation of the selling pressure from outside sources was clearly perceived. London resumed operations after.-V tour day Interval of idleness and took our securi ties with such freedom as to make a material aid in supporting the -market. -A number of international stocks - went between 1 and 2 points higher during the first hour. Besides ' the practical effect of this buying on other stocks, the tone of the London market dis sipated any remaining fears of a critical state of European politics. The weight of the selling brought out by the opening bulge In prices had a decidedly chilling effect on sentiment and a halting movement followed. An anx!ou eye was kept on - developments growing out of the Milwaukee hanking scan dal and there were some fears that still further losses would be Involved. More Im portance was attached to the possible effect of . the episode. Jn shaking- the existing state pt confidence in the outstanding credits, which Is of .Importance to the present prosperous condition of the country. The day's events served to quiet excitement to some extent regarding the Milwaukee Incident. The quieter tone of the wheat market was also an effective influence. .In turning the stock market. With the downward tendency arretted and the upward tum established, lrsr was heard of yesterday's rumor of hostilities in the railroad world, which pointed to a degree of bitterness that had prompted a contest for control bf Union Pacific Itself. A notable feature of the market on the recovery was the lessened volume of activity, the total transactions for the day falling considerably below those of yesterday. The speculation during the afternoon "be gan to anticipate the action of the meeting of directors of the United Stateb Steel Cor poration, which as to aisemble later In the day and give out a statement of earnings for tb quarter. Expectations were that this would prove remarkable and record figures were talked of In the course of the late buy ing of the United Stat." Steel stocks.

Big Increase In "W'ofld's Visible Sup ply Is Most Bullish Factor In Day's Xows. CHICAGO. April 25. An altogether differ ent feeling from that recently In evidence ex isted in the wheat pit today. The opinion was generally expressed that tbe Gates line of May wheat had been entirely liquidated. With the deal In May finally settled, atten tion was turned to July delivery. Rumors of a contemplated deal In that option under the guidance of influential bulls gave consider able confidence to the shorts, who covered freely. Notwithstanding favorable weather conditions for the development of the Winter wheat crop, sentiment during the greater part of the day was quite bullish. At the opening of the market. July was a shade to UfJisC higher, at S4""SSUc May was U'JHc higher, at 93!4S93?c There waa little nervousnoss .after the opening, and trades were made in the-May option at 95c, with, other trades, at the same moment at 93Ue0&lev From thess figures there was a gradual decline under scattered offerings by Northwestern houses and a little eleventh hour liquidation by small traders. One of the big longs also was credited wtth enorm ous sales. The selling pressure was sufficient to force the price of May down to 92c before the end of the first hour. Meantime the price Of July had been eased off to 844c. under selling by the pit traders. Sentiment then changed and for the re mainder of the session a firm tone prevailed. The principal cause of tho buying was a big decrease In the world' visible as against an Increase of S7S.00O bushels for the corre sponding week lan year. Another bullish factor was a report from Baltimore that tbe first contract shipment of new wheat to Eu rope had been made there today. On the theory that future deliveries had been gen erally oversold durltyr the smash In 5Iay prices, the demand for themore distant op tion was active during the last half of the session. The market responded to the im proved! demand. July advancing to S3V- The close was strong, with July selling at the highest price. May closed at 93c. Clear ances of wheat and flour were equal to 76. 200 bushels. Primary receipts were 3S9.90O bushels, compared with 204.800 burhels a year ago. Minneapolis. DulutS and Chicago reported receipts of 314 cars, against 24S cars last week and 102 cars a year ago. Liquidation of tbe May option was the feature of early trading In the corn market. July opened at 48ft43"4c. sold between 48 and 47c. closed at the top. Local receipts were 183 cars 24 being contract. Influenced by early weakness of the corn market, the oats market experienced some depression during1 thf first 'hour, but later the market rallied sharply in an attempt by early sellers to reinstate their lines. July opened a shade Iowr at 29"-4c sold between 2ST29c snd 294c and closed at 29ic The local receipts were 171 cars. Provisions were weak at the start on profit taking In pork brought out by a 10-eent de cline in the price of live hogs.
