FRUIT First Mu Taborberries re
ceived. J
More pressure to buy hops is shown by deal
ers, but their search for goods is unavailing.
A number of orders were onx hand yesterday
2444125 ceiiu.but could not be filled. Buy
ers representing local dealers were scouring
the country, and reported everything tied up
tight. Growers out as well as inside the
combine arc holding for 30 cents or, better.
The market at the moment Is- In (sellers fa
vor. and If present conditions last, an ad
vance Is prices Is inevitable. It Is the first
time In several weeks that dealers have
shown any anxiety to purchase, and holders
arc quick to take advantage of this facL
AdUccs from New York are to the effect
that 90 bales of choice Oregon were t-old
there at 27 cents. which would put the market
here about on a23-ccnt basis. A chort time
ago buyer were only offering 23 cents here.
Much talk U heard of unsatisfactory prog
greta In the hopyards. -but 1t Is early yet to
say anything definite about crop . prospects.
"While the vines enow an uneven growth, there
will be plenty of time for them to even up.
In favored localities the hops have reached
the tons of the wires, but In other places
ae Jut coming out of the ground. Thin
condition Is not regarded as ajarming. It Is
to be expected that .reports and estimates at
this time of year would vary according" to
the Interest of the parties concerned, grower
predicting a small- crop.- the-bears taking the
other view. One thing seeing certain, how
ever, and that" is that "Oregon will this sea
son produce the largest drop In ' lis hlrtory.
The estimate of a Salem dealer or a crop of
IS5.O0O bales Is regarded as cxccseli-c, while
the opinions of some growers ot a 90,000-bale
yield Is probably too small. Jonservatlvc
hopmcn look for an output gf from 100,000
to 115,00) hales.
BUTTER IS .STEADY.
Storage Buying Alone Improves the Market.
Front Street Cleaned. Up.
The butter market, whiie much steadier,
can scarcely be described as firm. The Im
provement Is tho result of speculative buy
ing, which will continue only an long as
prices are not advanced. Front street is kept
cleaned up every day by Floras operators,
who are taking all the fresh creamery they
can get at UrvfeiglS1 cents, and dealer:, are
also doing some storing on their own account.
Eastern buyers are sounding the market for
the best grades of city creamery, but cannot
get much under 20 cents, and it is believed 1!)
ccnta i! as high ag they will go. The local
creameries arc storing their surplus, and- re
port that they are not putting away enough
. even at the rapid rate that cream is coming
In. It Is this storage business that is helping
the market, and, were it lo cease, as It cer
tainly would on advance In pricos. tho mar
ket would fall back again. Consauentlv
the trade looks for no increase In values In
the. neat ,uture.
The demand for country t.tore butter for ship
ment o California holds good, and quota
tions are steadily maintained at 1401." cents.
FIRST MT. TABOR STRAWBERRIES.
Limited Supply or CalifornU Fruit on tly
Market.
As was cxpeeted. no direct shipments of
California strawberries were tecclved yester
day. One house brought In a few crates
from an outside branch, and two or three
crates were also carried over Jjj others from
the preceding day. Thi constituted all the
offerings, and In view of the scarcity, the
price was advanced to $1.75 per crate. To
day's supply will also be light, as ordeis have
been cut in two. Owing to rain In California,
dealers do not .expect the condition of the
fruit to be of the beat.
Eleven crates of Oregon berries were re
ceived from points up the Valley, and sold
at the wide range of 20530 cents a pound.
Heavier arrivals arc looked for today. Sev
eral crates of Mount Tabor berries the first
or the year, were brought in, but they went
direct to rctallere and retailed at 40 cents.
Auction of Rotten Orange.
Three cars of bananas came in yesterday,
and put the market for this fruit In better
shape. A car of oranges consigned to the
North was auctioned on the track by the
railroad people, who were afraid they would
not get the freight out of It If it proceeded
to Its destination. As 50 per cent of the car
was decayed, it brought a low price. Choice
medium-sire oranges are scarce on the street,
and all sizes are firm.
Vegetables Cleaning Up.
Aside from a car of sweets, nothing in the
vegetable line, was received yesterday. A fair
amount of reas, beans and rhubarb and plenty
o' hothouse lettuce were offering, but cab
lige. cauliflower and other truck were carcc
The steamer arriving last night brought lib
eral quantities, which will relieve the situa
tion this morning. Prices as quoted yester
day were practically unchanged.
rackage Coffee Advaaces.
Both Arbuckle and Lion coffee .advanced yes
terday to 1 cents, base price A movement
of this kind nor.- does not attract as. much
attention as formerly, when local package
co ere "a ere not & factor In this market.
'
CMcIecm asd Eggs Weak.
The chicken ?warket was weak yesterday,
a receipts were larger than the day before,
and the demand o better. Hens' were ouot-
ed at 14f 15. cents, and slow sale at that.
fcprls offered, -at . $I6 per dozen. Geese
bold tlrly well at 7;jf 8 ceets, and ducks :
were quoted firmer at $7gw.' Very few tur
key were received. There was fair Inquiry
for them at 17$1S cents live and 20622 cents
for fat 'dressed.
Eggs continued dull and weak at'the former
price, receipts being hcary;
Good Pork la Demand!
Veal continued to come In. freely yesterday,
and it was necessary to send much of it to
the cold .storage. Quotations were not changed,
but were very weak. There was a demand
for good pork up to 7H cents for the best.
Mutton was firm or the beat wethers at 7
cents, and 'weaker for ewes at 561fe cents.
Beef was steady at the old prices.

LOWER PRICES EXPECTED.
Condition Are Unsettled In the Pig Iron
.Market.
CLEVELAND. May 4. The Iron Trade Re
view this week says:
Record production and the abstention of
buyers from the market are reflected Is
lower price for some materials, and the ex
pectation of reductions on others. It Is true
as represented In print- the past week, on
behalf of certain producers of pig Iran, that
ihetc interests have not named lower twice,
but the changed situation is Indicated by the
fact that some producers have asked buyers
to make offers for the (second half. That
buslne;s Is not done under wich conditions Is
natural: buyers ih to know to what the
transition will lead. Pittsburg reports busi
ness at $15.73 at alley furnaces for No. 2
foundry, and at $13 Birmingham for South
ern No. 2. Cincinnati notes a 25-cent reduc
tion from the $150 Birmingham basis. All
reports agree that the demand from foundry
buyers Is at the low point for the year.
The recent harvester company purchaser,
which arc understood to have been below
$13 for Southern No. 2. have not started a
buying movement. In the East, offerings or
Virginia Uaslr Iron Indicate some weakening,
and In the Pittsburg district salo? or Besse
mer Iron at $15.25 show easier conditions.
The Steel Corporation's May purchates arc
not yet announced, there being considerable
Iron yet undetivervd on April contracts.
Structural material Is conspicuous In cur
rent hunine!.!". At Chicago contracts Tor threes
nulldliigfi arc under negotiations, calling for
7000 tons of steel. At New York 23,000 tons
or structural tlrrl Is Involved In inquiries re
ceived In the first two days of the prwent
week. The American Bridge Company's busi
ness for April was 70.000 tons. Rail business
for delivery this yearts now expected to ap
proximate 2.O0.O(0 xm. ,
Sheets show a decline, of about $2 a ton
from pr!es regarded as official. Similar con
cessions are noted In tinpUtc and In mer
chant pipe. In both of which buslnef is nly
moderate. Wire products have grown more
active. The time is at hand for new bar
iron contracts for agricultural machinery. The
old material market Is demoralized, and buy
ens arc practically making prices.
An advance In freight on Southern pig
Irmi by roads rWth of the Ohio River, and
applying to Michigan and Northern Indiana
point, became effective. May 1. amounting in
meet cases t 20 cents.

LIQUIDATION IS RENEWED
HEAVY SELLING OF STOCKS
AGAIN BREAKS 3LVRKET.
Closing Out of Large and Important
. Accounts Northwestern Hall
roads' Arc Discussed.
NEW YORK. May 4. Liquidation was re
newed cn a very large scale In today's stock
marktt. and a very feeble demand presented
ltself to absorb the large offerings. So much
was obvious from the volume of the dealings
and the movement of prices. Ass to the
sources of this liquidation and the motive
for it. the Indications were- not so clear, and
the elements of mystery were made the most
ot In the active .conjectures of stock markst
operators, according to the habit of that class.
It was a fair Inference that the liquidation
was of a concentrated character, and repre
sented the closing out or some large and Im
portant accounts held by a few individuals,
presumably also or power and resources in
the financial world.
The fact of liquidation ot this character
Uklng place was of decisive effect on senti
ment. It was supposed that very" larze hold
ings which had been withheld from the mar
ket during the 'demoralization of Saturday
and Monday were, l.ow being pressed for sale
to take advantage of the revived strength of
prices. This very evident liquidation dlap
polnted the hope that the most important
selling had been "completed, -nd that the
worst to be looked ror was a dull and slug
gish market.
Confidence in the general situation is still
prolesied In a large degree, but the renewed
weakness In .stock today caused some ques
tion' or poislble developments In the general
situation still to be revealed to the general
public Iron and steel trade reports disclose
the tact that the rate or production In that
trade Is at length overtaking the expanding
consumption, and price conditions, as a ego--
sequence, are not nrm. itauroaa trainc o:
ficlals admit a falling off from the high level
of the March activity, and the rate of -expansion
of railroad earnings Is therefore not
so rapid.
The Northwestern railroad situation seems
to be still the moat immediate factor ln the
stock market, as It has been ever since the
15-point break In Northern Securities stock
on the day the Supreme Court Issued Its man
date for tfm dissolution of The company-, which
waa the date of the beginning for the pr.escnt
decline In stocks. The Northern Securities
cmc .was talked around the floor again today,
also tomorrow's meeting of the Union Pa.
clflc to 'decide upon the $100,000,000 preferred
stock Issue. This had a depressing Influence.
Disclosure In the Lake Shore annual report
that a part of that company holding ot Read
ing stock had been disposed of lu the market
gave a chill to the opinion that community of
Interests of this character was being con
stantly extended among railroads generally.
The nows from the Chicago strike had some
adverse sentimental influence on the market.
It wn be observed, however, that the largest
selling and the heaviest decline were among
Mocks that would be Involved in a conflict
growing out of the question of Northern Pa
dfle control and' the railroad policies con
cerned In It, Losses In these stock and In a
number of others. Including a considerable
list of Industrials, ran to 3 points or up
ward, while losccs up to that figure were
quite general throughout the list. A late
recovery or 1 to 2 points was entirely lost
In the last 15 minutes, when prices generally
dropped to the lav level or the day. and
clottd only slightly advanced. ilh a weak
under tone.
Bonds were weak. Total talcs, par value.

CHICAGO, May 4. The wheat market
opened weak. Initial quotations on July being
off c to c at 83c to SSc One influence
at the start was a decline in the price of
wheat at Liverpool. Another factor was heavy
rain in the Northwest, where moisture was
generally needed. Receipts were generally
light, and. buyers were readily found. A pre
diction of -extreme cold weather brought out
part of the demand. As a. result of this buy
ing, the market soon became firmer, July ad
vancing to S3c The rally was only mo
mentary, however, sentiment soon becomnlg
bearish again. The main reason for the weak
tone -was a report by a Chicago expert claim
ing Winter wheat In excellent condition. Ac
cording to this authority, the condition ot
wheat on May 1 was 91.1. and the total acre
age was 30,831.000. compared with. 2S.551.000
a year ago. A slump In Wall street Induced
considerable selling of wheat. On the decline
July sold off to. S2c Late In the swslon
some recovery was made on buying by a
prominent long, but the close was weak, with
July at S3US3c. Clearances ot wheat and
flour were equal to 17,500 bushels. Primary
receipts were 300,100 bushels, compared with
155.100 a year ago.
Weakness prevailed In the corn pit through
oat the greater part of the session. July
opened unchanged to c lower at 46c to
46c. sold between 40c and 47c, and closed
at 4346c.
Covering by shorts and buying by cash
houys caused a firm tone in the oats mar
ket. July opened unchanged to a shade
higher at 28c to 23929c sold between
2Sc and 29520c. and cIosedat 2S629c
Provisions were firm on an, active demand
from packers. Smaller receipts of live hogs
were responsible for much of the buying. Ar
rivals at the stockyards today were the small
est In many, months. At the closs July pork
was up 10c at $12.30. Lard was up 5c at
$7.30)7.32. Ribs were 2g3c higher at
$7.23.
