Eggs "Larger receipts and market eas ier at 3.7V&i&c. Tne wheat market for the time being has ome a San Franelsoo proposition. A good demand bas sprung Up in the Southern stato t at has caused a material stiffening in val ues here. This is" a fortunate thing for hold ers, re wUh -the -slump yin the East and- a falling off in the demand elsewhere, nothing. ould have. saved local prices. The California "acttvUy is the result of the Trussing domand for flour experienced by rJllrts of that stale and the alarming abort age in available stock. On the San Fran euro grain, exchange Stay wheat was quoted at an advance of 2 cents yesterday and De cember and spot wheat were also higher. The l.mlted quantity remaining in the North Parific States is about all they have to draw upon, and as a consequence of repealed in qu.ries here, the market has moved upward. V bile reMlors '" this sta4e are quoting club vheat on a basis of S35 cents, large deal er dodarc ' they aro paying S?3 65 cent?, and bouses with direct California -connections quote S6 cents as the Portland value. Bluest em is quo' able nt the usual 5 cents margin. No more business is expected te be done v ilh the East this year. What wheat there, is left hwr will doubtless find lb? way, into the hands of either California' r Orcgbri" mlK 1-rs. going naturally (o the. buyers who offer t ie highest price. Korelgc- market conditions r-eclude the pestblltty of any export trad ing. op prospoota In nearly all sections' are favorable. Spring wheat seeding is prar Ueally completed, except on very low land, and fall grain is making excellent growth. In fact, according to advices from Kendrick. tvie grain is growing so rapidly and stool I nc eo thick that some of the farmers are turn ing cattle Into their fields to -prevent such a rank growth, which means" Chat trouble viU 'eMB Irew tho -grain becomlngry Chicle and heavy ss to fall easy with -a heavy wind or rain. All that seeres to be needed to ma ture a bumper crop in that seotlon Is. the late Junf raft. The Indications arc bow for an early harvest and some exprrss thosasflves as satisfied that harvest .will commence n.4 early as July 20. . : ; " " NO JAPANESE FLOUR DEMAND. Stocks Lately Bought "Will Last Them for Some Time. s Th- Sour demand from Japan has prac t.rail.v cosoed. Shipments are still under vsy and a large quantity will go farward next month, but no more buying orders are coming In. This Is due In large part to the r.eay stocks already purchased and ak t" the prohibitory war risks. Japanese importers bought in anticipation r the tariff advance that becomes -effective .1ul 1 and laid in stocks that will carry t'iem through a good part of the Summer. They are under no pressure to buy more and probably could not get It landed in time to escape the increased duty, as the regular lin ers and chartered steamers sailing next month arc already full. While shippers might work business with $4 steamers. , they are handicapped In that respect by tho lower pilv-es now named by buyer. Added to this If the fact that war risks are now quotable at 2 per oenl. whleh means about 8 cents per barrel, and ao lowering In the rat can be expected until the Russian war fleet Is out of the way. - All dealers believe that with lfee cessation or hostilities in the Orient there will be a marked revival in the flour trade of this Coast, but until that time oomos, unsettled conditions arc bound tir prevail. I FRESH PRODUCE ABUNDANT. California Berries Coming: Up in "Better Condition. Vegetables and fresh fruit of all kinds were plentiful on Front street yesterday, rail, ship ments filling up the gap made by the-trade In the steamer arrivals of the preceding day. Oregon .rhubarb ,1s very plentiful and being of good quality sells wcM. Asparagus from Walla "Walla, local points and San Francisco is In full iupply; ' ' ' , No Oregon berries wore received 'yesterday. The California berries that arrived were In better condition than thoee coming Tuesday, but as receipts wore heavier, there was no rhangen prices. Bananas arc selling wcM at firm quotations. There Is no,, surplus on hand, but nc or two cans are due later In the week. Oranges are plentiful, bat continue very firm. Navels arc running out and the trade 1s going In more . for Mediterranean sweets. BUTTER QUUJTS DOWN. ,k iipeculatorb Reduce the Surplus, But Do Not Help Prices. The butter market has quieted down and no new developments are expected soon. A local spooulator -has. . been . haying Jlboralty on FroBt gtrett in the past few daye, jnuuli to the satisfaction of that' district, but "his has not. changed the condition of the market irom one of nhsoiutc wcakacss, whleh will con tinue as long as the cream supply keeps, up its present gait. City creamery men are re lieving themteires by steady storing and may prevent a further drop In their product. Cali fornia butter Is offered here, but not at ac ceptable prices. Should a - figure as low as 17 cents be named Northern buyers might respond, but such a price at San Fran cisco would vory likely Invite storing there Effgs Are Pourlnff Jn. Egg reeelpts yesterday were not evenly di vided, but taking the utreet as a whole, the arrivals were larger than any time this week. The natural result was continued easiness in the market. A price of IS cents was gen-. ? : erally 'quoted fen single cases, but 37i cents was the ruling quotation far larger Jots. To dean up a dealer might have been farced to take less. . Poultry was also in larger supply, but ev erything choice found bus'era at top prlcos. Mohair Season Nearly Over. Trading in mohair is almost at am end. as only a few scattered lots are loft unsold here and there in the Valley. Quotations are Arm and unchanged This has proved a good year for the fanner, but a poor one for the dealer. Some men In the wool trade express the same opinion of that market, but their eager ness to contract for clips, at top prices show that they have faith In the future. Wahinjrton Crop Report. The "Washington weekly crop bulletin says in part: Tho condition of the staple crops of the state Is very satisfactory. Spring grain sow ing Is practically completed, except in the coldest and wettest localities. Early sown wheat and oats are growing splendidly. Win- j ler wneat ana nariey nave ma or very saiis- i factor' progress and are looking fine. Corn and beans are being planted In- Klickitat County. The condition of alfalfa, clover and other grasses Is excellent. -Early sown sugar .beets have sprouted. The ground has more moisture in it than usual at this time of the year In the central counties, which Is very favorable for the wheat crop. General Weekly Crop .Report. WASHINGTON. April 26. The weekly sum mary of crop conditions issued by the Weather Bureau says: Rain interrupted work m Colo rado, but rain is needed in Montana. Very favorable conditions prevailed on the North Paeifie Coast, but la California cool, cloudy weather retarded growth, and the hail storms proved injurious in localities. While the growth of Winter wheat has not been rapid, owing to the absence of warmth, the condition of the crop continued promising In alt districts. In Colorado, Utah and onNthe North Pa cific Coast Spring wheat U coming up and growing nicely. Bank Clearings. Bank clearings of the Northwestern "cities yesterday were as -follows: CleariRgs.

Many Inquiries are being received by Lake view "business men In regard to the prices at which stock and mutton sheep arc being soM, says the Lakevicw Herald. Up to this time few sheepmen have set any price oil their sheep. William Harvey Is holding his sheep at $2 for yearlings and $2.50 for 2-year-oWs. Tho present price seeme to be higher and the demand greater than it will be in the Fall. owin to an abundance of feed in the Sacramento Valley at this time and the excellent condition of the ranges in Wyoming. Sheepmen will do well te Investigate thor oughly the present market, and then decide whether or not to sell this Spring. Some of the local woolbuyers believe that the price of sheep wilt be higher this Spring than at any other time during the year. This con clusion is based en the fact that in the Fall feed will be scarce, and consequently there will be a drop In prices. EASTERN LIVESTOCK. Price Current at Kansas City, Omaha and Chicago.

Closing: of Market Is "Weak on An nouncement of Regular Dividend on -Norfolk & ' AVcstcrn. NEW YORK. April 26. Speculative senti ment In the stock market seems to be swayed at present almost entirely by the. varying gossip regarding the relations between railroad capitalists who control - the North western railroad systems. Today's rumors shifted to the side of prevailing harmony and & disposition to co-operate for mutual ad vantage. Ou of this subject there has been built up during "the recent boom In stocks a complicated system of supposed projects for centralisation of control of the railroad sys tems of practically the whole country. The slump in Northern Securities stoeks shook the confidence in thlsc stories and during the break of this week and last opinion has veered to the other extreme. Instead of har mony, whispers of war and of plans of. mu tual destruction have pervaded the street. The reports ot- restored harmony today came after the movements of the stocks and there was suspicion that manipulate processes played a large part in the price movement. The downward plunge in the price of North ern Securities was in a large part due to the fear that with the release ot the stocks of Its constituent companies they would be freely liquidated on account Of" the high level to which the nominal quotations had been carried while the holdings were tied up In the Northern Securities Company. This ap prehension was kept alive by the violent de clines in the quotations for these stocks. But there was an awakening today to the fact that the volume ot offerings on which these declines had been made was almost purely nomlnal. In spite of the rapid distribution be ing effected of certificates of stock of these companies. It was reasoned from this that the concentrated holdings of Northern Pa cific and Great Northern prqbjibly were little changed and that they" were"IiGtr com- lng on the market In large quantities. A rumor was set afloat in addition that an agreement had been reached as to the dis position to be made of Northern Pacific It was alleged In addition that the controlling interests In Union Pacific had averted a danger which menaced them of losing control of their property and that the proposed issue of $100,000,000 of preferred stock would be abandoned, as Ii had been intended only to preserve that control. There was a considerable outstanding snort Interest which was alarmed by these develop ments. The effect was clearly manifest In the movements In Northern Securities, Great Northern preferred. Northern Pacific. St. raul.J Union Pacific. Illinois Central and New York Central, all of which have been bound up more or less In speculation, based on this topic. Explicit declarations were made also that the long rumored lease by a dividend guar antee of Louisville & Nashville to the Atlantic Coast Lint, had been definitely determined upon. Amalgamated Copper led a strong group of copper, lead and smelting stocks, a special Influence being the increase in tne dividend rate on Anaconda, a subsidiary com pany of the Amalgamated. The United States Steel stocks at first reflected disap pointment cn the part of the speculators who had counted on larger net earnings ror tne quarter than were reported at the meeting after tho market had closed yesterday. But these stocks showed a good recovery when the general strength developed. The vagaries ot the price movement aroused growing suspicion, especially the feverish speculation In Louisville & Nashville, and the sudden subsidenco at Intervals of the active hiivlne' movement. The market had already become shaky when the news was published' of the declaration of only the regular divi dend on Norfolk & Western. There has been extensive speculation based on hopes ot an in crease and the unloading of disappointed holders carried that stock 3 points under last night andjiroke the whole market. The clos ing was weak and without effective recovery. Bonds were firm. Total sales, par value. $2,4.S0,000. United States bonds were all un changed on call. CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS. Sales. High.

At the opening May was f?c higher, at 9393c July was unchanged to c lower at S5 S53jc. Commission-houses were fairly active bidders for May. Under this demand the May price was forced up to 93c. The July de livery, affected by the strength of May, ad vanced to 85c but soon eased oft again to about S5c. For a. lime, the market held up quite well, notwithstanding the general bearbhnfss of pit traders who were Influenced by additional rains in the Winter wheat belt. An Improved demand for cash wheat at all outside grain, centers was perhaps the most Influential factor tending to offset wet weather. Weakness la corn and oats exerted a depressing effect on wheat and caused the market during the last hour to yield to gen eral profit-taking. Prices for May and July declined rapidly. The lowest point for May was reached Justbefore the close, when a sale was made at 91c. July dropped to S3 83c. The market closed weak, with final quotations on May at 91c, a net loss" of lc. July also was down l4c. closing at 83c. In com renewed liquidation of the 5Iay de livery Tvas a feature. July closed at 46. a net loss ot c. The oats market was weak.
