Ealrs have been made In Eastern Oregon In the past few days as high as 20 cent and It is reported a few choice clips brought 21 cents. Valley wools have also advanced and a lot was purchased yesterday at 27 cents. There is .mc activity In Southern Oregon and up in Washington 230.000 pounds of Yakima wocl lias been io!d at prices, ranging from 10617 cents. Tactc are still 300,000 pounds or w.A unsold Inthat district. It Is estimated ;that fully three-fifths of the Eastern Oregon clip has been sold up to date, though shearing is hardly yet under full headway. Buyer are In every section of the ountry and except -in the territory around Shaniko have not left 'much for the regular tales day;. In Morrow County buying ls par ticularly active and the .sealed bid system has been resorted to there even while the wool is on the sheep's back. A sale 'of that kind took place at the Palace 'Hotel at Heppner. D. O. Justus-offered his fine clip amounting to atout 35.000 pounds tp the highest bidder. Three bids wore submitted at the same fig ures and when the tie was tossed on. E. J. Burke proved to be the lucky man. The price was 10 cents. ' About 50 per cent of the clip in that county has been contracted for. which includes all the wools In the lower -part of the county and one-third of the clips in the Heppner district. Prices In .the country ranged from 17 cents to a fraction over 10. The following purchases were reported: By .E J. Burke Ayers & Spencer, 25.000 pounds; Jeff Hayes. 30.000 pounds; Andrew Neal, 15,- 000 pounds; I. C Bennett. 13.000 pounds; J. L- Howard. 20.000 pounds; Ike Howard, 20.000 pounds. By S. F. Frankenstein H. Schcr zinger. 15.000 pounds: Emmet Cochran. 45.000 pounds. By J. S. Stressengcr George Perry. 20.000 pounds: Nat Scott. 13.000 pounds. By Sam Wilkinson Frank McKnlght. . 53,000 pounds: Ed. Day, 25,00 pounds; Harry Jonc. 15.000 pounds. By Frank Lee George B. Jlufford, 20,000 pounds; Anson Wright's, clip. The first clip of this scasan's wool Vo be ontracted Vor In the Antelope district was bought of C. P. Ragsdale by J. X. Burgess. The lot amounted to 30.000 pounds ' and the pnee paid was 20 cents. Pat Connolly sold at Condon the clip of the Dillon sheep at 17i ents. Relt't & Patterson sold their wool to KuhUnd & Co. at 1814 cents to be delivered a' Condon. The Willamette Valley clip will be light this year. The high price of mutton tempted many growers to sell -their sheep which will reduce the wool output by "probably one third. The Valley clip Is estimated at from 1 0r0.000 to J. 200.000 pounds. Quotations range from 25JT27 cents, the latter figure 'fing paid yesterday. Shearing Is being de "ajed by the cpol rainy weather. REIMPORTATION OF HOI'S. Growers Not Alarmed by the Unusual! Movement. ' The fact that 2000 bales of American hops axr been relmported from' England by Xcw York dealers at 23 cents is regarded by the idf here as showing a weakening tendency, inasmuch as it makes the ' brewing Interest independent of supplies Uod up. In this coun try. Growers, however.' do not view the movement with alarm. The market continues dull with little In clination on cither tide to -do buslne.. One small deal was concluded yesterday when Sravey & Metzler bought SS bales of -Cham-poeg hops 'from A. J. Buyscrie at 24" cents, but aside from this no grower? have sold In th past week The largest offering on"- the market Is the Aurora crop of lxok Hop. amounting to 23S balre.' The Chinaman has been offered 24 cents for the lot hut wants more, i Furthest advice received from the growing d:rtrlcts bear out the complete reports, ot .the Veather Bureau, printed yesterday, that the o'.t. vards look spoty. but the new yards are d-)ng finely- Probably the best yard on the West Side, if not in the -whole State, is the "VYI'ch Hazel farm, owned by A. J. Ray. of U ity. It is a new yard, now In its prime. r1 its hops yur coming up in ierfect oen-d.U-n. . . " OREGONJMERKIES MORE I'LENTIFUI.. First Lot of San Jose Cherries Is Received on Front Street. ... Oregon strawberries were plentiful on Front s -rrt yesterday and generally sold at 20 rents. A few crates came in from The Dalles and were held at 23 cents. White Salmon berr-.es were quoted at th lower price. Com- amatively few Cajlfornla berries came tip and tV former quotation on them was main tained. The first shipment of San Jose cherries waft re tived yesterday. They wjro equal -to the avllle fruit and were offered at the sime yrlsc $1.25 per box. A few gooseberries arc on the market-"at 10S12H cents a pound, "but they are rather small. Two cars of oranges arrived last night and three cars of bananas will be received today. POTATO MARKET AVEAKEIL. Decline at San FranHsco Depressed Local Situation. dvtces of the decline in the San Francisco p 'tato market, received yesterday, imparted a weakened tone to the local situation. Ship per? for some time have been anticipating a drop in Caflfomla. knowing that Jarre quan tities of Eastern . potatoes were on the way there. Buying for Southern shipment waa"very light yesterday and will probably cease, as huyr have reduced their bids and holders show little Inalinatton to make concessions. A potato man is author!!' for the statement that he knows of 40 cars of Burbanks , still in this state, and If he is correct, there tnutt still be about GO cars all told unsold Jn";Or6;on, a quantity that lt"wlll be "difficult to-dlspcse of at this late day. New 'potatoes of good sire are arriving freely, and although fall prices are maintained under a, steady demand, they will soon be low enough to go Into gen eral consumption. Range of Kgg Prices. Egg receipts were very heavy In some quar ters yesterday, while' In others they were light This resulted In the -various opinions expressed on the condition of the market, which ranged from weak to firm. While tome dealers, not ably the wholesale -grocers, quoted 18 cents, on Front street -the ruling price was 174 cents. Chicken receipts were not very heavy, but the demand proved light and former quota tions were still in force. Full Supply of Truck. The California steamer brought up a full supply of small truck, -which was further aug mented by the arrival of a car of vegetables under Ice. Prices generally how a season able weakening. Oregon hothouse cucumbers are becoming rooro plentiful and sell readily at $11.25 per dozen, the came as California cucumbers. Walla Walla asparagus Is Jess abundant and somewhat firmer. Local hot house lettuce is still overabundant. Smaller Demand for "Wheat. There was less inquiry yesterday from Cali fornia for Northern wheat and the tone of the market showed less firmness, but prices are practically unchanged, dealers quoting club at S4S5 cent."? and bluestem at 00302 cents. Tho southward movement on old orders re mains heavy. Oats are quoted firm at $283 28.00 and barley weak at the former quotation. Sugar Declines 10 Cents. The first change reported in the sugar mar ket. In many weeks occurred yesterday when a 10-ccnt drop in all refined grades was an nounced. The raw sugar market In the East has been -weakening of late and the down ward course was helped by the break In the London prices of beet sugar. f ""Bank Clearings.

Traders Await Government' Crop Re port Market Is Depressed and Close Is Easy. ' CHICAGO. May 10. A feature of trading In the wheat pit wu the selling ot a line or July, estimated at nearly 1,000.000 bushels, by a leading bull trader. The offerings were taken mainly by shorts. The liquidation of long wheat had a decidedly depressing effect on traders In general, as It had been believed that the bull leader who sold today was ac cumulating a line of July preparatory to a possible "squeeie" In that option. Outside of the trading mentioned, business was com paratively small In volume, owing to a desire on the part of many traders to await the Government crop reports. Cables were steady, and wctweathcr was In evidence throughout the greater part of the United States. At the opening, July was '.c lower to He higher, at S3Jic to 84c After selling at S4t4084Hc the price dropped to S3Uc as a result of the selling of long wheat. Later, the market re covered part of the loss, but', the close was weak, with July at 83Uc Wet weather, which Is delaylnrfplantlng operations, had a strengthening effect on the corn market early In the session. L.ter there was free felling In the expectation 'that re ceipts would soon show a substantial Increase. July opened a shade higher, at 4GTc. sold off to 46Jic and closed at 46&04O!',. A strong tone prevailed In oats. July opened unchanged at 29'ic, sold between 29fJ2a!c and 29Kf?294c and closed at 29ic Provisions were firm on decrease in receipts or live hogs.

HEAVY MARKET SAGS. Dealings In Stocks Fall to Very Small TotaL NEW YORK. May 10. Prices reversed the movement of yesterday and sagged In a heavy market. The only significance which can be attached to the movement was the almost total abstention from the dealings .qf any real holders or stocks or any real seekers ror stocks. -Liquidation seems to be completed and tbe supply or stocks In the market is ex ceedingly small. On the Friday before last Christmas there was a total of only 239.000 shares dealt in on the Stock .Exchange owing to the three holidays to follow and the season able absences from Wall street. With this ex ception. It Is necessary to go back to th period of Summer dullness In last August w find a parallel for today's small business In stocks. The Initiative came from London again, where the outcome of the settlement Is awaited with some renewed apprehension which - was shown by the renewal of light liquidation there of American securities. In tho current discussion about the Stock Exchange, most stress, was laid on the revived discussion by the President and Secretary of War of railroad rate regulation measures, Indicating the unchanged Importance attached to this question by the Administration. An Impression had been built up among Stock Exchange operators that the course or the hearing on this subject by tfie committee of the United States Setwte had served to leascn the probability or its being pushed as an is&ue with the aggressiveness indicated at one time The tone or public addresses by the President and a leading member of his Administration served to shake the assurance felt on this, was extremely easy, but sterling ex change was strong and the question was again canvassed whether the small demand In the loeal money market, would not permit an outgo of gold. Paris has relaxed Its demand for that metal, however, and arrivals in London are going into the Bank' of England. The special show ot strength Ip Smelting was due to the report or the financial results accomplished In connection with the organiza tion or Its new subsidiary committee. Some other metal stocks showed sympathy. Read ing was helped by reports rrom the anthracite trade. There were small recoveries rrom the extreme decline, but the closing was easy. Bonds were irregular. Total snlrs, par value $1,873,000. United States bonds were all un changed on call. CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS: . Closing Sales. Hlghr Low. Bid.

Today's statement of the Treasury balances In the general fund shows: Available cash balances...... $131,260,272 Gold 61.044,134 Washington Crop Report. The Washington weekly crop bulletin says In rart: Crops have made rather slow growth during the past, week, on account of cool nights, which were trosty' on two or three occasions, a soil which has not got warmed up yet. and a de ficient rainfall In some parts of the state. The frosts on the 1st and 4th of the month were Injurious to vegetables and In some In stances to fruit. Prunes have dropped so that In many localities there ic 111 be only . one fourth to one-half of a crop. Strawberries were considerably Injured, and so afeo were cherries. Oats and potatoes have grown only slowly In the -western counties, owing to cool soil and lack of rain. Hops have made satisfac tory progress, but have grown unevenly. Meaddws and pastures need rain. Fall and Spring wheat, barley and alfalfa arc growing steadily although not rapidly In the eastern counties, but they had such a start from the early Spring that they are four weeks earlier than last year. Oats were dam aged by frosts' on' lowlands In some localities. Corn Is being planted in the warmer coun ties. At tbe close of the week a steady rain has set In. which will undoubtedly be of Im mense benefit to crops. f Demand for Yakima Wool. .NORTH YAKIMA. May S.
