POULTRY-Strong demand causes
prices to advance.
BUTTER Stocks not moving well at
higher prices.
FRUIT Strawberry- receipts below re-

VEGETABLES Market fully supplied

MEATS Large receipts of veal in an

nia cattle shipped to Portland.
A., effort was made yesterday by some
r timbers of tho trade to advance the ' price
cf fggs over 18 cents. .Several- Front-street
frms that do not deal extensively in this
art; H quoted 18 cents, and did some busl
nte at this figure In a small way. As a
natter el fact, however, the market did not
justify any raise, but, taking the street as
as a whole, could be considered in no other
light than weak. The aggregate receipts
tiifns the day of four of the leading egg
dealers wore 32C cases, and 12 other com
mission houses received all told ISO cases.
Nearly 200 cases more wero on hand from
previous arrivals, bringing the total eupply
to about 650 case.-. This with- the retail
rade moderately well supplied and prospects
good for another heavy lnpouring of receipts
today. Under the circumstances there could
fje n.i Justification in quoting the market
s rong yesterday. These fact6 are presented
merely to show why the egg market did not
advance.
On the other 'hand, It must be borne in
mind that the present conditions are only
temporary. The laying season .is drawing
to a close and shipments from the Interior
should very Ssoon slacken. The demand Is
gradually Increasing and will grow rapidly
as Fair visitors begin to arrive. Then the
rea' adx'ance will begin, an advance, how
ex er. that fwill be -conlrollcd throughout
tV season by the immense supply of eggs
put away for the occasion in cold storage.
SCARCITY OF STRAWBERRIES.
Twice as Many as Received Could Hare
Been gold.
A good many strawberries came In ycater
but not half enough to Hi! Jobbers' or
!" Growers apparently were holding sujt-
- es back for better prices. The result
ihe scarcity was that the full prices of
preceding day were realired. but buyers
v uid pay no more than that. Hood Rivers
- re quoted, generally at $2.75 and local
stj Salem berries at $2.252.50. . .Receipts
. im Southern Oregoii were light. The warm
v r a.her Is bound to cauee heavy arrivals to--ay
and lower prices may be looked for. A
fw stray crates of California berries- were
tj be .seen, but the season for that fruit
practically closed with the cleaning up of
the last car.
Samples of Oregou oherries have been re
ceived from The .Dalles and regular ship
ments will begin from that point and from
ocldendale today. California cherries have
been out of tho market for several days. A
lot of apricots were brought up yesterday
and they moved Mmowhat better. A few
crates of peaches and -several boxes of new
apples were also received, and were held at
the former 'prices.
STRONG TGULTR.Y DEMAND.
Gradual Adnnce in Quotations on Chickens
and Ducks.
ith two exceptions, the poultry dealers
bad hut little to offer their customers yes
trrua, end these that -were betten supplied
laT no fears of tho consequonces. The mar
kc 1 woe a strong and eager one and buyers
t i not haggle about the price. The "result
as a general mat king up of -quotatlgns. but
Ip such a reasonable way aa to .leave the
market In a healthy condition. It was
practically a 14-cent market for chickens,
though very fancy stock brought a. half cent
over this and somo hens not so desirable
sold as low a 13. Choice springs. If not
oo small, brought from 20 to 22fe cents.
M bat were mostly wanted were chicks run
r ng from IS to 20 pounds to the dozen. A
few more turkeys' came in and wre taken
up at 17S18 cents. Young ducks were quoted
at $3 to $5 a dozen, according to size.
VEAL RUSHED IN.
Parmers Trying lo Get Ahead of Much
Eearrd Ordinance.
The defeat cf tho meat Inspection ordi
nance was received' with Joy byohe'numoroua
coromisslon-house that makcia. specialty of
handling dressed meats. The unwtedom of
the measure was apparent to all. but thcro
was. a. fear that It might have been carried
through, which would 'have meant extremely
low prices to the farmer and high prices
to the consumer. This apprehension was prob
ably responsible for he large "quantity--of
veal that was rushed" In yesterday. The
supply was beyond all requirements, . and
t- favo hauling It to the ice house.-, prices
were -slashed without regard to the previous
quotatloas.
Very little pork or mutton came in .yes
terday, out it seemed to be enough for the
demand. -

Batter None Too Finn.
The Front-street butter market is none
too firm at tho recently elevated price. StockA
have begun to accumulate in several quarters,
giving -a heavier tone to the market. The
surplus, however. Is being 'kept down by
storing and no' 'occasion has arisen yet for
making any change in prices. About the
same conditions are noticed In the city cream

WHOLESALE TRADE QUIET.
Buyer Awaiting a Clearer Ylcvr of Crop
Outlook.
-NEW YORK. May, 28. BradaUeet's tomor
row will sayr
Wholesale trade Is seasonably quiet, pend
ing a clearer vjew of crop out. turn, which.
owing to Irregular or unsettled weather in
wide areas, still lacks definite form. Cool
weather Is etlll a bar to fullest activity at
retail. Manufacturing activity Is still In
large volume on orders previously booked.
Speculative "markets for wheat reflect the
technical conditions and short supplies In
primary markets more clearly than they do
the alight deterioration In. asantltr and qual
ity Indicated as resulting from recent back
ward weather. Collections reflect little more
seasonable slowjfrc&s. "and money Is' easy and
In abundant supply. Rather more friction
In labor matters Is noted at Chicago. Some
few points of labor friction arc noted In
other cities.
Despite efforts to accentuate less favorable
happenings for stock speculative purposes.
there Is still abundant evidence that the
country's consumptive requirements are on
a largo scale, heavily exceeding a year ago
at this time, and the movement-' can be
materially quickened by more seasonable
weather, allowing of belated retail buying
materializing, and ordinary crop developments
occurring. Railway earnings for the first
half of May exceed a year ago by 6.5 per
cent.
Failures In the United Statra for the week
ending May 25 number 179, against 191 last
week and 194 In -the like week in 1901. In
Canada failures for the week number 14, as
against 17 last week and 14 in- this week
a year aro.
Wheat, Including flour, expoa for the
week ending May 23 are 1.221,200 bushels.

NEV YORK. May 34.-A fcrlsk half hour's
bus-lncss after he.opelac today was all that
&ved the stock- market from the lowest rec-
4 of sks n jiearlr a. yr. ZThe irxxx-
actions coecentrated Into that time were -
rsost wholly profefional and were deafened
to test the Market. Th -irtcmr. tkea p-

taelr accounts. Han? brokers left wRa -ta.
lateetios of not returning oa Mosday sr
the one day's business preceding the Decora
tion Day holiday.
The prospect of a period ot practical .idle
ness to extend Into Weteesday.eC- next wefc
had much to do with the somnolent condi
tions which- developed. Transactions were
of no cigaMcaBee, both by reasen of their
small volume and the trifling effect on prices.
The selling at the openln was eased Imme
diately on professed doubts as tp the extent
of 'tha settlement effected, in the Northwest
ers railroad dispute. The drop of 5 -points
la Great Northern- preferred and of 3Vs la
Northern Pacific were pointed" to as evidence
cf the continued unaettlement of the situa
tion.
United States Steel stocks were- alio a
weight upon the market, -and the disruption
of the steel rail pool was the subject ot
much discussion as bearing on the trade
situation. It was believed, that the- dissolu
tion of this agreement would open the way
to added competitive effort which would be
likely to Jcadto yielding prices and to with
holding of orders. It was urced also that
Sthe abandonment of some' agreement In otbec
branches of the trade was likely to follow.
The United States Steel stocks were less, re
sponsive to the later Improvement In prices
than the majority of stocks.
The announcement ot additional small bank
failures from" the West have a bad Impres
sion, owing to the recent conjunction of a
number of such cases. It Is felt to be "prob
able that recent disclosures of banking opera
tions resulting In the. acquisition of unfortu
nate holdings has had the' effect ot stimulat
ing a closer scrutiny of security and col
lateral oa the part of the financial Institu
tions all over the country.
AVcather reports from the region of the
grain crops were mote "favorable, but eome
anxiety was reported regarding cotton crop
conditions. - - . .. . -
Currency movements Indicate a slight gain
In cash by the banks, but the week's loan
changes arc likely to prove large. The ex
treme ease of ' the money market, however.
precludes any great attention to tho bank
statement.
Conditions wero -stagnant and the market
wad idle during the afternoon, but the tone
at the closing was strong.
