THE MORNING; ; OREGONIAN, jTHURSDAJ, .JUNE ; 1, 13 WOOL AND THE Mil Manufacturer Thinks That the Prices Will Nov Decline. , WHAT FIRST RAN PRICES UP Strawberry Market Demoralized by the Two Holidays Heavy Wheat Movement to California. Firmness of Barley. WOOL Possible effect of Oriental naval battle, WHEAT Heavy movement to Cali fornia. BARLEY Stoeks nearly exhausted and market firmer. FRUIT Two holidays demoralize strawberry trade. POULTRY All kinds in strong do roand. EGGS Firm and higher Mr email lot". CHEBSE Decline is imminent. HOPS Reimportations at New York continue. . 4 4 Thomas Kay, president of the Kay "Woolen 1 Mi1! at Salem, one of the largest institu tion of the kind on the Coast, believes that lower price for wool will result from the re fight In the Orient, preparing, as It does, 1 the termination of the war. "The leading factor in the advance lo prices." said Mr. Kay yesterday, "was un doubtedly the Krone demand for woolen for army" f-ro?c! in the Far East, both by the Riuwianz and the Japanese. This heavy de mand m reflected in the high price reai i2td at the London eale. which set thf mark for the American trade. With the clese of the war the Inquiry wlll-ccase and there will be. a reaction In price. The mar ket already has a weaker undertone and I am certain the next London -tales will fhow a decline." Trading has been quieter this week, both In the Valley and East bf the Cascades, which can be accounted for largely by the light offering. A crowd of Eastern buyers re maim In Eastern Oregon, ewurlng what they can at current price, which are quoted from 17623 cents. The most Important dealings -will fee at Shaniko. where a sealed bid sal will be held next Tuesday. Valley wools are quotable at Z7hi2& cents. The Eastern wool situation is described by the Boston Commercial Bulletin of May 27 a follows: Speculation among dealers' has practically ceased, and the eltuatlon in the market has been reversed. Inasmuch as last week the market was enlivened by the " swapping among the dealers, while this week the man ufacturer have been around buying supplies freely with no arguments over price, which have again advanced. AH kinds of medium domestic woolf. as well ae foreign, have been In goctd demand. The dealer are lap Idly selling their consignments of the new Territory wool, and In many Instances tales are being made far ahead of th arrivals. Manufacturer have "been inquiring for wools which the dealer are -unable to supply. The" 'Western plates are now well roiA ex cept Montana, where' some few" clips are still left which are brlmrlng 26c. and In Oregon, where t-ome wooU have been kepi 'for the sales days, At 'Miles- City. Mont., a ale of 1O0.C0O pounds to a Chicago firm at 2Cc ha been reported. On May 22. Pendleton. Or., had a sale day and. word has been received of a ale of 400.600 pound, not of a high grade, at 10V4322c. which, from Information given by one who knows the vrool, will cost 71 to 72c landed clean. It Is said that the better grades will bring 22S23c and will mean 7273c scoured and landed here. Deal ers consider it doubtful If enough 'wool is left uncontracted at cither Shaniko or .Heip ner to warrant sales days. In North Dakota wools are being taken at 22927c. Texas wools are well sold In the state, except at San Angelo and Kerrvilie. where about 2, .000.000 pound are being' held for sales days, which will be around the first of June. ools are now arriving from Southern and Middle California. Idaho. Nevada. Wyoming and I'tah in fair amounts, but the bulk of consignments will not be landed here until 'the middle of June and part of July. In the bright wool section nn excited feel ing, similar to that In the Western States a short time ago. Is now prevailing, and the farmers have been asking -what the Boston dealers consider extravagantly high prlecc. The Ohio grower have .been demanding 35c flat, and a telegram Thursday morning stated that they are now wanting 37c fiat for washed. This would mean about K5c scoured, and would be higher than Geolong Australians. At these price the buyers arc not as active aa the farmers thought they would be. Michi gan fleeces arc well bought up at 32363c while In Indiana the grower are talking of holding for. 332T34C Accumulation have been taken in Missouri at 31c. while Information ha been received that 100.000 pounds of Us have been offered by a Missouri holder at lc less than he refused last week. The with drawal of two prominent Boston firm from the field has evidently had its effect In show ing the fanner that the prices which they had been asking were beyond legitimate values for their wools, and likely . thlc awak ening ha caused the slightly easier feeling on Us and ?s which has been reported. WHEAT FOR CALIFORNIA, Heavy Shipment From Portland in Past Month Barley Xlrrner. The wheat movement to California in the month Just closed, was of large proportion, amounting to 164.SU bushels, of which 76.743 bushels went to San Franc leco. tha remainder to Southern pprt. At tho present time the -demand for tonnage cannot be filled. Every steamer sailing eouth la taking all the wheat he can find room for. Aside from the trong California demand there, is not much doing in the market, aside from an occa sional purchase by millers. Values are quoted firm at -65 cepts for club. DOfffll cents for bluer-tern and S5GS7 cents for Valley. The local movement In flour is good, but without particular feature. California la stilt buying liberally. 18.85 barrel having bee shipped to that state In the month Just end ed. Private advice yesterday reported an advance of 55 cents per barrel la Dakota flours. The barley market has taken on a stronger line and feed was quoted yesterday at $23 and rolled $23.50. Stocks In the tate are said to be about exhausted. Oats are very firm at $29 per -ton. FIRMER EGO MARKET. Good Advice. Scat Out to Country Shipper. There was a firmer egg market on Front .street yesterday. Receipts vcr very heavy. 1ut the demand seemed to be equal to the occasion. Quotations were made In lngle case lots of ISU cent, but larger lots brocrht IS cents, at which price the 'bulk of the trading was done. A leading dealer nend out the following Tcrttnent advice to shipper; "From aow on you will have to see to It that you get good egg, for -lth the warm weather that we have already hat and that which v may expect to have from now forward, poor rgga "HI be aJet with vale you get -good from thofe who1, carefully ,candle them. We! hre two expert candlers -working In oer ware house and wo aim to turn out carefully can dled eggs only. You can get these eggs at a price Just a reasonable as those that are not candled. We aro selling at tbl writing at IS cent the very best goods, and a there will be a great, many -people in the city from now forward, we, advise that you .keep up your egg tock." STRAWBERRY TRADE DEMORALIZED. Tiro Holidays Upset Local Market i Conditions. The two holidays occurring tWs week have completely demoralised the strawberry " kct. Retailers did not buy heavily oa Front street yesterday and the result waa aa Im mense accumulation of stock tifat put deal tr to their wits end to -move. Shipping orders and shipping consignment did not offer much relief and the Jobbers were forced to fail back on the hawker. The natural rff.uk was a bad slump in prices. Quotations ranged from 75 cents to $1.50 for berries of aH kinds. Hood River. "White Salmon. Val leys and local fruit. The 75 cent price was on off grade, roost of the business being around the dollar mark. largo quantities of country berrle were sold at the Plaza in the morning to retailers at 5 and 6 cents. Other kinds of fruit were In large supply and moved only fairly well. Cots were quoted- lower at $1. Some good Lacunas eherrles were received and offered at 16 cent a pound. Two cars of oranges made up the heavy fruit receipts. ASSORTMENT OF VEGETABLES. Front Street U'ell Supplied With Local and California Produce. The bulk of the steamer vegetable were disposed of yesterday. The receipt were well assorted and consisted of new notatoe. car rot., beet, turnips, beans, corn and other mHer vegetables. The corn was In fair condition and was quote at GO cent per dozen. Bean were Meady at b$f cents for wax. Oregon pea were plentiful and weak at 506 cents. Asparagus wa more abundant and easier and cucumbers were also plenti ful Other receipts Included a ear of Colorado potatoes and a mixed ear of Early Rote po tatoes and cabbage. The potatoes offered at cent. The ear of Florida t ma tee due in the forenoon arrived, late and wlH be on sale this morning at $2.7SfW.2S per crate. Reduced Acreage In Text, From a very high authority the American Grocer learn that there will be reduced acreage in peas, estimated- at 85 per cent of lat year's area. The Jetal pack In 1304 was 3.750.000 to 3.800.000 cae. which sees fully equal to meeting present requirements. The packer have signed a throe-year contract with the viner interest. wMch can be counted upon to use their Influence to avoid an over supply. The viaer tax Is fixed at 6 cent per case of two doaen tins each for the next three years. It is probable that there, will net be much of a carry over from this into next reason. Fine pea are practically used up, and while the production of standard and lower grades was rather heavier than needed, the Flock ha been pretty well dis tributed since the first of January. American Hop Rcsblpments. For the week ending May 27 there were no hop export;-, from tho Port of New Tork. but import were heavy, contesting of 34 balm of foreign hops. 771 bale of American hops re shipped from Liverpool and 05 bales of Amer ican reohlpped from London, making a total for the week of SOT bales of American hops. Previous resMpmontn of Americans this -ton were 461 bales, making the total reshlp xnont to date, 1800 bales. Meat Market "Weakened. There wre heavy arrivals of veal again yesterday, which further 4rpre.tsod the mar ket. AU the receipts were not disposed of. Pork Is also eating up under Mberal ship ment. The demand for beef was slow, as butchers generally were stocked up. Mutton and lambs were quoted steady. Poultry In Strong Demand. Poultry receipt, which were moderately good yesterday, met -with a very strong de mand and cleaned up In sfeert order. Chlakens of good size brought 13814 eents and eprings moved off around 20 cents. A considerable quantity of dressed poultry wa orforing. Cheeoe Very Weak. The cheeee market Is very weak. All deal er are well supplied and a break in prices seoms Imminent. A wMc range of quotation was riven yesterday, running from 12H to IS cent. The actual market value, a near as It eeuM be figured out. was in the neigh borhood of 13$tl3fe eelf. Holiday on Front Street. VThe holiday wIH be properly observed by the wholesale trade today. The grocery and merchandise houses win remain closed all day. The produeo and commission firm will open only until 10 A. M.. or long enough to receive jblpmonts. Bank Clearings. Bink clearings of the Northwestern cities yesterday were as follows: " Clearing.!.
