THE MORNISFG OKEGQNIAv ITItLDAY, MAY 26, lK)o. 15 ER FITS IN!! MM Market Supplied With Berries, Peaches, Plums, Apricots. ALL.KINDS ARE IN DEMAND; Wheat Traders Look for Resumption of Shipments to the East, If Chicago Prices Continue to Advance. - FRUIT Market well supplied with berrien, peaches, apricots, plums and new apples. VEGETABLES California orders are belng cut .down. POULTRY Stronger demand for chickens. Eastern frozen turkeys ar riving. EGGS Demand is catching up -with re ceipts. , . BUXXER State brands move well at the advance. WHEAT-GtSSl prospects of Eastern shipments being resumed. The.' fruit market had a strong Summer ap pearance yesterday. In addition to heavy re ceipts ot Oregon strawberries and a good supply of California berries ' on hand, the steamer brought up small quantities of new peaches, apple and plums. These, with four car of tropical fruit, fully supplied the ItreeU Oregon berries came in plentifully in the morning, but pa strong was the demand that practically everything received was disposed of. Prices, as expected, were lower, but the quotations fixed ' In' the' 'fdreriobn ' were " main tained throughout the day. For the bulk of the offerings, $2.50 per crate was asked. Sa m berries were offered at $2.40 and Hood Rivers up to $2.75. All that were, left at the close of the day were romc crates brought down In the afternoon on the Regulator boat. The last of the Florin '"car that came in Wednesday wae marketed yesterday and the Quotations of the previous day. $1.2361.30. were fcteadlly held. Only two boxes of new California apples were received and they were qulekiy taken up at JS1.30. Alexander peaches and Clyman j-lums, of which small quantities were re ceived, w?re sold at the same price. There was another and larger shipment of apricots, and the market on this fruit weakened to $1.15$1.2S. Cherries have become very tcarce. The heavy "rail receipts consisted of two car of bananas, one of oranges and a mixed car of orangea and lemons. Quotations sn these lines were unchanged. STRONG YVJIKAT MARKET. Dealers Think That Eastern Shipments May lie Resumed. The wheat market was lirm yesterday, but tut , particularly active. There was tome California demand, but buyers there purchased pparlngly and their trading was of a hand-to-mouth character. It la likely that California miller will he in the market for Northern wheat until their .new crop is fit to grind. The .Chicago market Is aj6mtng "a mrong tttitude. There is very little wheat left in the Middl West and the premium offered now In the Chicago market for spot wheat leads tome dealers here to believe that the East erners may call on us for more shipments Sefore- the -new- crop comes on. " Stocks In this '.erritory- are light, however, and not a great ileal could be done in the way of filling East ern orders. The Liverpool market continues to show very healthy symptoms, but the desparJty, In prices is still so great as to make expert business out of the question. . POULTRY' MOVES WELL. Chickens :ln Good Demand Eastern Turkeys Coming. The chiaken market i'. once more in very good shape. Prices are firm nnd have an up ward tendency. Receipts were moderately good yesterday, but old qtilekly. The demand Is Increasing, and, It Is probable that all that are received in the noxt few days will be readily taken up. No particular change was Jinted in prices yesterday. There Is a good demand for large young ducks at full prices, but small oneo cannot be moved. Turkeye would ab sell quickly if -they were pent in. Owing to the scarcity of local stock, considerable quantities of frozen Eastern turkeys are botng received. There Is nothing doing in geese, as they are out of season. Oregon Vegetable to thp front. The San Francisco steamer dtd ml bring up the usual quantity of Southern truck. Ore gon vegetables are arriving more" freely and are taking their place and are furthermore la much better condition than the California etuff Therev was a general marking down of Wearoer prices yencrday. Peas were quoted at 3o cents, beans SfrlO cents and cauli flower 21.73ff2. Cucumbers wore plentiful and were held at 30 cants. Some nw celery wa rcved and quoted at DO cents per 'dozen. " Eggs and Butter Finn. The egg rrurkot wa very active yesterday and strong." the demand was fully up to receipts. There was no change Jin the butter situa tion. The tone of the market on Frant'street wan firm at the advance and the city cream erles trade was likewise helped. -by the change. ItanU' Clearings.

Losses of the Day Do Xot Wipe - Out All the Gains of "Wednesday. NEW YORK. May 25. The strong opening In today's stock market was the overflow effect from yesterday vigorous recovery The buying, however, died out almost com pletely after the first hour. But with the perception of the unsubstantial character of the demand, stocks began to dribble on the market and prices to crumble. Instead of the gains chown at the opening.' the course of the day trading established comparative losses. These were by no means sufficient to wipe out yesterday's sharp gains, but the reversal In tone was decisive. The infer ence was drawn that yesterday buying came more from an alarmed short Interest than from any good information or developments In the situation. As & consequence much less importance was attached to the reported settlement of .differ ences in the Northwestern railroad field. The stock market world was Inclined to take long breaths over the stress, of the situation In the Northwestern field at one time, as dis closed by the authoritative intimations now allowed of the dangers averted- of rate wars and mutual Invasions of territory with newly built extensions. It was while this condition of things was threatening and efforts making to patch it up that the speculative public was fully regaled with stories of great merg ers and new combinations jn prospect, which Incited to the overspcculatlon fop which the penalty is now being paid. The satisfaction is indisputable with which security owners regard the fact that a peaceful adjustment has been .made of the contending views of policy and the differences of personal temperament which threatened the stability of affairs In the Northwest. But this jatisfactlon on a sober consideration comes from danger avert ed rather than the accomplishment of any striking new good. The unconfirmed rumor of a naval battle was a disturbing Influence on all speculative markets and In our own grain markets weath er reports helped to affect the price of wheat, while th attempted corner In May corn was a continuing Influence. The reported dissolu tion of the steel rati pool was accepted as an explanation of some of the past weaknts of the United States Steel stocks. Large money transactions In connection with the final payment on the Japanese loan subscription and the subscription (to the Amer ican Smelter's preferred stock were with out the slightest effect on the money market. Tne market showed no recuperative force on the down grade, and the closing was weak and at about the lowest. Bonds were Irregular. To:al rales, par vatue, $2,615,000. United States bonds weie all unchanged on call. CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS. " Closing Sales. High. Low. bio.

Chicago Wheat Market Continues Strong on Unfavorable Weather Reports Smaller Crop Likely. CHICAGO. May 25. The greatest strength in the wheat market was shown at the opening. Initial quotations on July were up 48Hc to l14c, at 91fi914c The chief rea son for the advance wais the reports of the unfavorable condition of the weather, low temperatures in the Northwest and heavy rains in the Southwest, especially throughout Kan sas and Mlssouil. As trading progressed the market became quite nervous, there being con siderable profit-taking by prominent holders. Crop reports were conflicting In nature, but taken altogether they conveyed the Impres sion to the majority of traders that, the wheat crop of the United States would be much smaller than Indicated May 1. With In creased offerings from longs, July sold off to 904c The close, however, was firm, with July up 434c. at 904c. A break of an even Sc occurred in the price of corn for May delivery after that option had sold at 6Sc a bushel, a pew htgh point fcr last 'season's crop. May opened up 1 to 14c higher, at 674S6SC Local recclpti of. 270 can proved a disappointment to the bulls. In addition, receipts for tomorrow were estimated at tOO.OOO to 500.000 bushels. Bulls were apparently disconcerted at the prospect of Incurring heavy losses as a result of en deavoring to purchase all the cash grain ihat might be offered at the high premium prevailing. A leading bull was reported to have made private settlements with many of the short. "This led the way for the break and the price dropped to 644c Later selling by caeh houses forced the price down to 60 cents. Buying by shorts caused a moderate rally, the close being -at 63c. a net loss for the diy of 34c. July closed at 494l949Hc Buying of July and September options hy a leader of the bull crowd in com was a feature In trading In the oats market. July clo-iCi 4c .up. at 304c. Provisions were easier.

A feature of today hap penings was the arrival of a carload of new crop barley, the first of the season, from Colusa County. The grain graded as fair feed and sold for $1,214- The arrival wa-j the earliest on record, except In 1E97 and 1900. when the first barley came In on May l'.and In 1893. when It arrived on May 23. Old barley, suitable for call board delivery on Msy contracts, was held with an iron hand at $1.23. The May option closed with none for sale under $1.35. Grain freights are quiet and nominal at union rate. Crop conditions are favorable, but shippers are unwilling to charter until the future Is absolutely certain. Receipts of cherries were lighter, but owing to the absence of good shipping stock the market was easier. Unusually cool tradewlnd weather Is operating against activity in fruits. Peaches and apricots are arriving more free ly. Apricots arc ehowing "much scale This lessens the shipping demand. Clyman plums are arriving freely In good condition for shipping. Stocks of oranges are large, but receipts are decreasing-. If Is reported that some of the southern exchanges are bare of navels. About eight carloads are scheduled for tomorrow's auction.

Well aware of the Interest always taken by The Orcgonlan in whatever arfecta the development of the Northwest, and particu larly that portion of 11 naturally, tributary to the "City of Portland. I take the liberty of calling your attention and that of your read ers to a matter that It would aecm immedi ately concerns the welfare of that portion of the Inland Empire which looks with bright hopes to" a realization of the scheme of water transportation of the agricultural prod ucts of Northern Idaho and Eastern Wash ington to the seaboard. I refer to the main tenance of a navigable flow of water In "the SsAke and Columbia Rivers. At present there Is much agitation in Idaho over the proposed extension of forest reserves in that I state. Many diverse Interests prompted by various motives have united In opposing the reservation of tho forested mountain regions I "In which many Important tributaries of the Snake and Columbia arise. Without the pro tection afforded by the Government In Its j forest reserves the watersheds of many of the contributors to the Columbia's nat ural flow will In the not distant future be denuded by the timber shark and by fire. Once deprived of its forest cover this vast region will lose its water-storing capacity, and the history of the Ohio River In recent time teaches us what may be looked for along thff Columbia should that occur. The immense ammint of water fliat trill he j taken from the Snake and Its affluents along Its upper reaches when the reclamation pro jects now under consideration shall have been perfected can hardly be estimated at present. But the effect on the navigability of the Snake River below Lcwlston must be manifest to all who examine the subject. The arid lands of South Idaho may be reclaimed by th-i diversion of waters oC the Upper Snake River and of the Payette and Welser Rivers, as It may be done. It will be done. To materially lessen the flow of the Snake will Impair the navigability of that stream, which even under existing con ditions is precarious during the low-water s:age In the Fall of the year. How vital then Is It that the basins of those tributaries of the Snake debouching below the irrigable rrglon should be carefully protected, to the end that their water-storing capacity may be kept at the maximum and consequently a rspld spring run-off prevented and the late Summer and Autumn Cow enhanced. Tr.e purpose of the Administration Is to establish extensive reserves In Idaho that shall embrace the headwaters of the Salmon and the Clearwater Rivers, the two chief branched of the Snake below the Welser. Nothing could have a more potent influence In sustaining the navigability of the Snake than the execution of this purpose. Should the creation of the reserves be defeated by the activities of those who look to Immediate and 'selfish ends rather than to the ultimate good of the Northwest, the consequences to - the agricultural and commercial Interests of this Inland Empire wilt be the gravest.
