COFFEE Arbuckle declines ISc per hundred. Notwithstanding the steamer arrived Sat urday night, the California produce brought up vra.3 unloaded on the street yesterday morning n excellent condition, except for a lot of cauliflower. The demand for all kinds of truck was keen and stocks were materi ally reduced before the day was over. Sev eral shipments of Florida tomatoes were re ceived, which sold for J5 per crate. There were also some 'Mexicans which were held Xor $3.50 per crate. New parsnips were in cluded In the lot and cold for 30 cents per dozen bunches. "Wax beans and peas were quoted lower. Other green stuff shows but little change in price. The first Oregon hothouse cucumbers were put on sale yesterday at $2 per dozen. Walla Walla asparagus. local lettuce and rhubarb were abundant and weaker. Local dealers quote the potato market weak, owing to the presence of Colorado and Utah. Of the Greeley potatoes brought in, five cars were held here and seven sent on to the Sound. The Eastern potatoes are of fered to the trade at OOeffl. The California demand for strictly fancy Oregon Hurbanks holde good and shipjters arc offering 11.U5 for the ctt offering, but have much diffi culty In buying. I.oxver grades arc also hard to get. even though the deniand'for them Is mall. HOI MAKKKT QUIET. Better Demand in Eatt .Encourage Local. Holders. The hop market was quiet again yester day. A few lots were offered ana. It to saW. could have been beught around "4 cents, but dealers declined to touch them at this "Ilgurr. Several buyers wore raid to have orders me what below 24 cents. An Eastern corre spondent writing of the effect of the. growers' pools in various bccttons. said that prices, instead of working to a higher level, as pre dicted. ' have gradually declined," the EngtUh market dropping about He cents and the Ger man mftrket about 2Vj cents. New York state hops, he fays, can also be bought about 2 cents a pound cheaper than when exporters latt appeared as buyers. Immediately after the formation of the pool by English growers.- v In the face of tills In a later advice to the effect that an Improved demand ha prung up for states with Mies or about 400 bales at 25420 eentf and another sale or 100 bales of fancy at 27 cents. This change, following the organisation of the Oregon as sociation, is encouraging to heldors here. EGGS ARE ACCUMULATING. Market Is Growing Weaker Under Heuvy Receipt. Stocks of eggs are piling up in all direc tions. Receipts "were unusually liberal yes terday. There was no outride demand, as the North has ceased to buy. and the leeal n qulry was slack, probably because retailors expect a further decline. The market was quoted weak at 17 cents, with 17 cents asked for large lots. To keep . down the purptut, dealers arc again storing eggs and will be forced to continue the practice a long as the eggs are in condition. Fortunately the weather po far has been in their favor. Over 10,000 cases Of eggs have already gone into cold storage here, and It looks now as if a stock of 15,000 cases would bo available for the late Summer trade. There were no arrival ef iultr' yctHer da. A few coops had been carried ver from Saturday, but they met with sMght de mand. Uerries Are, Better. More than the umal quantity of California berries came up yesterday. As motl ef the shipment was in better condition than the former lot, the demand was correspondingly Improved. Trices were as quoted Saturday, Xl.50Sl.75 per crate, the latter for the best Three crates -of Oregon berries were received and sold at SO cents a pound. The orange market Is very firm and a fur ther advance in Mediterranean sweets to 52.50 t2.7B is noted. Bananas arc ala Unit, as good shipping is vrc and no more will rriv before Thursday. Drcscd Meat Improve. The dressed meat market tr, for the time being, in good shape. Receipts ef veal were very light yesterday, much to the ratte faction of Front-street dealers, as they have enough calves In storage to lan them for several day. The market consequently re mained steady at 67 cents for tho best of ferings. IorU was scarce and In good de mand. Good block hogs weighing tinder 150 popnds were strong at 74 csnts. but larger sites were not wanted and when offered were quoted from 14 to 1 cent below this figure. Heavy hogs are in no demand on account of the low price of lard. The market for Spring Jamba has a decidedly hotter tone, as re ceipts1 for three days have been very light. Trices, while not higher, seem to be tending upward. Fancy lambs yesterday were quoted at cents and others at 6l&7 cents. lockage Coffee Lower. A decline of 13 cents a hundred was an nounced In Arbuckle' coffee yesterday, as a result of the opening of lake navigation. Steadiness la Butter. The butter market, apparently, has settled down to stay for awhile at the 20-eent basis in the city. Most of the creameries report a steadier undertone, with stocks moving off. notwithstanding heavy receipts or cream. The surr-lw U kept down. In a large measure, by etorir, though the butter Is not yet In the best osewUtlon for that purpose. Conditions on Front street are without change, quota tie rstris from 17H?19 cents with some hottsee asfcinc SO cent?. The agent for a California firm that has bad an office "at-re has closed his place or butlncis and returned to San Francisco, as he could neither buy nor sell at the ruling market. Country store but ter Is still in good demand for shipping at UQlo cents. Bank Clearings. Bank clearings or the Northwestern cities yesterday were as follows: Clearings. Balances.

Sharp Kccovcry In General List faintaincd to Close Good Kallroad Reports. NEW TORK. May l.-Tcdt-a Jtock mar ket was a striking demonstration of how financial affalra adjust themselves to any contingency that Is foreseen -with sufficient clearness. The precipitate fall In prices on Saturday caused a real uneasiness throughout the financial district for fear ot the conse quence of the shrinkage In values, to say nothing of the dangers which were hinted at on Saturday In the vague rumor-mongerlng Incident to a bear market. The event of the day proved that the precautionary measures which resulted were so abundantly effective as to turn the demoralized weakness Into a quite exuberant show of strength. An Im portant part of the measures In anticipation of course, lay with the speculative element Itself and were made In the form ot sales for the short account which were put out during Saturday In almost unlimited amounts. The volume of outstanding short contracts proved so excessive that the expected offer ings today failed to provide material for this potential demand, and before the case the shorts were scrambling to secure sup plies to make good their contracts. The measure of the Inflation of the market was thus taken and the downward course of prices decisively checked, having reached a point where a sufficient demand intervened to ab sorb the selling. There can be so doubt that a very large part or the buying today was as a measure of protection by financial Interests powerful enough to take these steps to save them selves and their associates from the serious effects threatened by the downward plunge In prices and the rapid shrinkage in valua tions forming the basis for huge credits'. Se curities purchased for such a purpose are not expected to be held permanently, and may be looked for In the offerings for sale on any moderate recovery or when the pur pose of steadying the market is effected. These ssles ot such purchases' are pretty sure to cause the first check to a rebound. The support in the market today was not made effective without & sharp Mmggle which at one time caused a threatening set-back after the first stand had been made against depression. A gre&t many calL went out to customers ot commission-houses all through Wall street on Saturday night for additional margins, because ot the rapid de cline of last week, and return orders to. sell out or failures to respond to calls for additional margins -induced very large pres sure to sell when the market opened. London was taking a holiday, but not withstanding this, a notable feature of the early trading was the heavy demand for for eign account here which was said to come from various quarters in Europe. None of the whispers of money troubles which circu lated freely on Saturday was confirmed by events today, and this had a substantial In fluence in convincing many sMltrs of Satur day that they bad been precipitate. After the urgent demand from the shorts had been sat isfied, the maskct became much quieter and showed a disposition to await developments. Reports of net earnings of railroads for March showed mt important Increaies. such as for Union Pacific 26 per cent: St. Paul. 12 per cent; Illinois Central. 16 per cent, and Colorado & Southern, no lets than 143 per cent. The March figures of traffic of some ot the great systems are reported to have reached record figures. The usual week ly reviews by railroad traffic officials today, however, admit a considerable shrinkage from the March level, although general satisfac tion is still professed with the business of April. The belief In general prosperity sesms unabated, but confidence 'is recognized as a prime nccesstts- In the maintenance of pros perity, and there Is some question to be en tertained -whether the events which have hken speculative confidence In Wall street have left the full confidence of the business world at large unimpaired.

During the first 10 minutes ot trading the shares fell to 111, and then rose to 117. The unsettled condition of the shares Is due to the pending deal between the United Gas Company and the City of Philadelphia, whereby the company is endeavoring to lease the gas works from the city for a period ot 75 years for the sum of $25,000,000.

Compara tive firmness at Liverpool, notwithstanding weakness here Saturday, was one reason for the" Improved tone. Another factor was a decrease of 1,464.000 bushels In the amount of breadstuffsi on passage. Shorts were mod crate bidders for both May and July, but offerings were very light. Later, as a result of predictions of warmer weather, the July option eased off temporarily, the price de clining to S14JjS2c There was a quick re covery, however, the strength of May being tho rallying force. Trading at no time was of large volume. Advices from Minneapolis and Kansas City reported an active demand at higher prices for wheat for milling pur poses. In sympathy with the strength in thcso markets, the May option here ad vanced to SOc. While July sold up to S34c.
