The export flour demand has nearly ceased. No orders are coming in from Japan and business w'th Hongkong has been restricted by the decline in prices there. There Is some movement under way with Central American ports. Advices from Hongkong dated April 18 re ported the following stocks on hand: Cali fornia flour. 140,000 bags; Oregon and Wash ington flourt 370.000 bags. Dealers at that time were willing "to pay J3.45S5.50 per bar rel, but since, then cables report a decline to f3.35S3.45. At the lower figure there is a little demand and If sellers were willing to accept the terms, some business could be worked. On the NIcomedla. the next regular liner to tall from Portland for the Orient, space has been reserved for 3761 tons of flour, of which approximately 3000 tons are. destined for Hongkong. Shipment to Japan under the present tariff arrangement will prac tically cease with the departure of the Fern dene ae the new duties become effective July 1. and it will hardly be safe to despatch car goes much later than this. Another factor in the repression of trade Is the uncertain outcome of the coming sea fight in the Orient. It Is conceded, however, that no matter which way the battle goes, the result will ultimately make for Improvement In the transcontinental trade. TWO CARS OF STRAWBERRIES. Market Demoralized by Heavy Receipts From California. A Front street Jobber yesterday brought up a car of California strawberries and as the receipts of other Arms aggregated nearly an other car, the local market was accordingly demoralized. The fruit was of every degree of quality and old accordingly. At the opening of business $1.50 a crate was asked for the choicest offerings. The price quickly elld down to $1 and by noon oft grades were selling as low as 58 cents. Hawkero bought large quantities of poor berries at this price and were soon selling them on the back streets at 5 cents a pound. The Hump and overeupply of California berries naturally aCected the price and sale of Oregons. Some extra fine. Southern Oregon berries could hardly be moved at 12,6915 ccnUs. though other dealers were fortunate In cleaning up earlier In the day at 20 cenls. Kaln-spolled drcgons were told at buyers prices, some bringing only 8 cents. Considerable slocks of both local and California berries were carried ever and will weaken prices today. Alto gether the market received a jolt from which it Is not likely to recover, as the period was a critical one when the trade was trying to hold prices steady In tho face of Increasing supplies. ACTIVE. WOOL MARKET. Buying In Eastern Oregon and Valley at Full Bates. Wool reports from all sections of Eastern Oregon yesterday were of active buying at the full rates lately quoted, 17Q20 cents accord ing to shrinkage for average best clips. Val ley grades were strong but not so active, dealers quoting values at 2527 cents. The latest Issue of the Boston Commercial Bulletin, the authority of the trade, says of the situation: "The position in this market is very strong, with higher prices ruling. Further strength has been developed by the increased excitement In the West, and the advanced opening prices pf the London sales. The excitement In the West has become feverish, with record prices being paid both In Montana and Wyoming. In the former state a clip or about 250.000 pounds, consid ered the best one there, has been contracted t 24c Advices hae been lately received which say- that 23c has been reached. Practi cally all Montana Is contracted with the exception of 3.000.000 to 4.000,000 pounds, which are being held for 25c. In Wyoming, prices, which started two weeks ago at 18c, have -now reached 23ls24c, and the greater part of the state is now contracted. Some contracts are being made In Oregon at 184 194c. -with Hffl9UC being paid at Heppner. "ery few Shanlko clips hae been sold, as tiie flockmasters in that particular section are holding their wools for the tales days. The buyers are now In San Antonio, Texas, waiting for the shearing to begin." OVERSTOCK OF VKAI. Farmers Make Mistake by Shipping ia Now. Nothing that commission men. meat deal ers or butchers can do is of any avail to etop the . flood of veal that is pouring Into this market. The supply Is far beyond any potslble local requirement The cold-storage rooms are filled and there Is no passible ..nance to draw upon supplies already there while reeeJpts continue so heavy. The farm ers are the sufferers by flooding the market cow -while prices are, so low. whereas if they would keep their calves back for a while- and feed them, they would realize better values. Practically the only buying yesterday was by tome speculators who took up .offerings at 5 cents and had the veal skinned and frozen. Chilled veal will only keep a lew das in storage, but It Is possible that frozen meat may be kept for the Summer trade. This business is more or less an experiment and practical butchers doubt whether It will be a success. If It turns put all right, it tv ill certainly be profitable for the specu lators. On the other hand, the farmers could get their share of the profit If they would govern their shipments by existing market conditions. There' 1 a strong Inquiry for block hogs. The demand in for weights under 150 pounds and for these rprkes 'holdat 7H cents. Large hogs are weak at 6f 7 cents and can hardly be moved at that. . Mutton and lambs are steady and unchanged. ' Hm Bnwawws Received. Three cars -of bananas were received yes terday. The fruit was unquestionably the finest that has reached the market In recent days. Some small shipments of California cherries also . arrived and offered at former price. There -were no other receipts of Im portance. Asparagus suddenly became scarce and firm, but liberal arrivals are looked for today. Rhubarb, beans, radishes and green onions were In fair supply and peas were abundant and weak, but aft were quoted at former prices. There was a moderate supply of cauliflower on the street and plenty of cabbage. Hothouse lettuce dragged heavily. roultry Weak and Lower. More poultry reached Front street yesterday than could be disposed of at the prices that have prevailed. Both large and small buyers were slow to take bold, even when conces sions, were offered, and the result was that a good share of the arrivals were carried over. The generally active Friday demand Is looked- to to clean up offerings today and it la likely that If the demand still con tinues slow, quotations may be further shaded. lgss Decline Again. Eggs took another drop yesterday In view of the Increasing receipts. To save them selves from an accumulation, some dealers resorted again to storing, notwithstanding they have all the eggs put away that they want. Prices "Tor candled stock ranged from lli5li cents and uncandled eggs could be had at 17 cents flat. Hank Clearings. Bank clearings of the Northwestern cities yesterday were as follows: Clearings.

Trade was quiet. December wheat stiffened !r sym pathy with Chicago and the same option la barley weakened on the prospect of mere ehow ers. Spot barley was dull and about 1U cents lower. Oals were lifeless but hcM steady. Hay was firmer, as crop conditions were re garded as less favorable. All feedsluffs were easy. No new business is reported In grain freights. Shippers will not pay over union rates while owners are asking 6dto Dd higher. Cherries sd another slump, due to beavy recelpts containing a large portion of split and otherwise por stock as a result of the recent rains. The flrct apricots of the season arrived from Arizona and brought a fancy price Berries are now arriving freely and In greater variety and diverting the demand from citrus and tropical fruits which arc quieter. About five carloads ot oranges are scheduled for tomorrow's auction. The potato market had a generally easier tone. Receipts or new potatoes are Increasing. About 100 racks of new red onions were re ceived, causing a sharp decline to $1.1031.40 per sack. Asparagus was stiff, but other early vegctables.were mostly weaker. Butter Is kepfstoady by packing operations. Cheete is quieter. Eggs are less firm. Re ceipts. 74,700 pounds butter, 76,000 pounds cheese, 45,420 dozen eggs. There are no new features in the hop situa tion. Giowcrs are nearly all asking the 30 cent rate foi old crop.

WMTHllTEHILLEO ANNOUNCEMENT SENDS UP THE PRICES AT CHICAGO. Nearly 1,500,006 Acres of Fall Sown Grain AbandonedOther Bullish Factors in Market. CHICAGO, May 11. Official announcement that nearly 1,500,000 acres of Fall-sowa wheat had been Winter killed imparted marked strength to the wheat market here today. Ex tensive rains furnished another reason for manifestation of bullish sentiment At the close July wheat was up 1H1Kc Corn showed a gain of Sliic. Oatj were up ic Provisions were unchanged to 10c higher. Sentiment In the wheat pit was bullish from the start. At the opening, July was un changed lo U9Ue higher' at S3H to S3;e 83Tc. From the first tap of the bell until the gong sounded for the close of business, shorts and commission houses were- active bidders. The Government crop report was one of the main factor In the situation. An Improve ment of about 1 per cent In the condition of Winter wheat since April 1 as shown by offi cial statistics did not apparently Impress pit traders so mtch as 'did a statement In tha Government report that 1.432.000 acres of the area planted with wheat last Fall. had been abandoned or replowed as a resuU of the seeds being Winter-killed. That the excellent condition of the growing plant Indicated a crop of 4p3.000.000 bushels, which Is abput 132.000.000 bushels more than was harvested last year, did not seemingly affect traders. With minds fixed on the small remainder of the old crop and on the possibilities of acci dent to the new crop before harvest, a ma jority of operators were strongly of the opin ion that at the great discount now current, the July option was a much better purchase than sale. Continued wet weather through out the entire wheat belt served to strengthen In the minds of many operators this bullish conviction. Furthermore, receipts were small, a striking feature being a total absence of arrivals at Chicago. The market gained in strength a trading progressed. Strength of cash wheat had considerable Influence on op tional prices. For July the highest point of the day was reached a. S4!ic The market closed strong with July at 84i684Hc Delay In planting operation owing to the prevailing wet weather brought out a good d'-mand for corn, resulting in a strong mar kM. July opened US?c higher at 47c. sold between 4r:,i747Sjie. and closed at -47fic Oats showed considerable strcrigth. The market closed at practically the highest point of the day. July closed at 29',c Higher prices for grain and smaller re ceipts of hogs created a firm tone In provi sions. Buying was of good character, much ot the demand coming from packers. Selling was scattered. At the close July pork was up 7;itrl0c. lard was up 2iic and ribs were unchanged. The leading futures ranged as follows: WHEtAT. Open.

Tjatc 3Iovcnient Redeems Session From Rut of Dullness and Neg lect Ease of 3Ioney. NEW YORK. May 11. The considerable movement which developed lats today In ths stocks connected with the Northern Securities stttlcrcent. or associated with that settlement In speculative surmises, redeemed the securi ties market from a rut of dullness and neglect today. This movement served also to reassert the Influence ot this group of stocks on specu lative opinion In general. rrerlous to their revived activity, the mar ket showed no sign of anything more than a feeble vibration In the rebound from, yester day's alight depression. Southern Pacific and Union Pacific were the leaders of this rebound on the circulation of assertions that the'pollcy of their administration was shifting towards the Inauguration of dividends on Southern Pacific The buying Induced by these asser tion was 'quite substantial In comparison with the seml.stagnatlon of the general market. The movement laid the foundation for' tho share of those two stocks In the later strength of tho more .Immediate Northern Eecuritiea group, in which Northern Securities itself shared on the curb. Northern Pacific and Great Northern preferred moved up with ease on the small business of these stocks In the open market. The fact ot tfils scanty supply leaves the wide movements In the stocks open to suspicion of manipulation, which Is easily managed In the case ot closely held stocks of that class. No news came out to explain the movement, but It resulted naturally In awak ening all tho rumors pointing to an adjust ment of the threatened dispute over ths Northern Pacific control. There was no other new of the day that seemed to have effective influence on siocks. unless il nugni dc in promptlnr the abstention from active opera lions. A tendency was shown both In London and here to await the completion of the settle ment in London tomorrow. Other representa tive Influences of a general character were found In the reiteration of the President's views on railroad rate legislation and the dis cussion by the Controlltr of the Currency of the dutle of bank directors; which was prompted by recent events In the banking world growing out of the affairs of the Equit able Life Assurance Society. The weakness of the local tractions was out of consideration of the expected decision by the Supreme Court on the franchise tax law. Money was extremely easy and it was be lieved that this -was partly due to the progress ot remittances from Interior National banks In preparation tor payment Monday through their New York correspondents on the return of Government deposits under the call of the Secretary of the Treasury. Sterling exchange held Its advance of yesterday. Stocks closed strong, but only moderately active. Bonda were steady. Total sales, par value $2,215,000.

The Idaho weekly crop bulletin says In part Rains were of great benefit to small grain already sown, but seriously delayed comple tion of seeding in elevated Eastern districts; seeding is practically complete over the re mainder of the State; cool weather has been favorable for stoollng of Spring- grain; some rye Is heading and in Ada County Fall -wheat Is coming Into the boot; there is some com Dlalnt.of damage by cutworms In Oneida County. Range grass Is better than usual, and stock Is gaining rapidly In flesh; the occurrence of timely rains gives assurance ot an abund ar.ee of grass; nay crops need warmer weather in most sections, but In general promise good yields; Irrigation of meadows has been general In southwestern districts. Planting of sugar beets Is complete in some localities, while In others but little planting could be done, owing to heavy rains: early planted beets are coming up to an excellent stand.
