J The last ef the sealed bid wod sales scheduled: In Oregea came elf here today. The offerings were about 15 lots, aggregating 200.000 pounds. Notwithstanding there were only two buyers In attendance. C. F. Green, representing J. Kesaland A Co.. Boston, and E. W. Rrig- iam. of Whitman, Faraswerth & Thayer, Boston, the competition was active. Prac tically the same range of prices that pre vailed at the prevloujs sales, whea there were 30 buyers la attendance, was maintained to day. Only one fcmall let of defective wool brought leres than 20 cnt. all f the others bringing from 20 to Vie- Among the lots sold were those of J. L. noonheute, at 20 cents; K. R. Laugblin. at 20 c; George Roba. at 20iC and Ben Iremoagen. at 22tic With the exception of a few straggling clips. which will be disposed of at private sale on arrival, this doses the wool trading In Eastern Oregon for the season. Universal F&tlsfacileR is expressed oyer the suocens of the sealed bW system. The oniy unhappy sheepman Is the grower who was Induced to contrast his eHp In advance of the scheduled sales day. and he Is silent, because he dis likes to confess that he lost, by so doing, from 3 to 5 cents per pcund. err frcm 35 to 50 cents per fleeoe. Simultaneously -with the clewing of the woot-setltHg from this section the last train load of sheep contracted for Eastern ship ment went out today, making an aggregate for the season's shipments of about 350 cars, or at least 125,000 head, chiefly year lings; with the sheep bringing an average price ef $2 per head and the 4,000.000 pounds of wool marketed at this place at an aver age of 26 cents, the sheep farmers of this eectiea will realize over 51.000.000 for this year's harvest. Boston Wool Quiet but Strong. BOSTON. Jane 26. A quieter tone prevails in the wool market, but prices are as arm as ever. Many of the sew wools are at hand, and higher auotatiens are not unexpected Dealers generally expect that the present high prices will be sustained for x consld embte period. New territory wools have 'sold with same freedom, while the price for cross bred has declined. The oM pulled -n-eote have been practically all sold. Foreign wools are firm.

In the afternoon there was a contract len In the rate of activity, bat the sales for the day rose to a larger total than for any days since J early last week. The market obviously was f till largely in professional hands, but the traders operated mere freely, and there were Indications ef the re-entry into the market of Tomf ef" the larger semi-professional sprea lators who Have retrained froen activity for om l!m past. The buying rcfrreraent was larrrXy cf an x pcrimcntal character. The market has given dear eridca fcr several days cf a hard undertone. The -volume cf offerings has beea almost nothing and no liquidation was la duced by aa proffsiloaal pressure. The as sertion is made and evidently credited among the professional operators that the holdings of stocks br eeamln loa-houscs at this time are at an nnususlly low ebb. asd that weakly margined baldlags have been almost com pletely cleared, up. The techalcal strength of such a position makes ths market invulner able to ordinary attack. Realizing la Reading was manifest today. and this fact was a pal7able check te the operatloas for the advance. Some general effect on sentiment was produced also by the realizing la the Japanese beads, as these have beea the real leaders of lb rmall specu- latlon for com time past. Published reports of the undiminished activity of steel mills In the Plttaburr district gave the Impulse to the rise In United States Steel preferred.

Foreign money markets, however, eased off apd the result was the reappearance of bankers ex change bills in the local market Incident to the process of lending foreign funds here.

June 20. With the exception of a slightly easier tone at the opening, the wheat market was strong the entire session. A decline at Liverpool created some- dlsposl tlea here to sell at the start. As a result. July was off a shade to at S7,3 STric Ccmralsaien-houses. however, soon be came active bidders. As a result sentiment quickly changed to bullishness, offerings be ing light after the moderate selling pressure at the opening- The advance started with a report that yields of wheat In Southern Illi nois would be small. Advices were received claiming that T&eavy rains In Kansas aad Oklahoma had done much damage. Rain was reported througcout the Red River Valley In South Dakota. Allegations of damage by rust, chiefly In Minnesota, were .renewed. The weekly report of the Weather Bureau, however, claimed that Spring wheat was making favorable progress, and that har vesting of v Fall-sown wheat was rapidly ad vancing northward. Bearish advices, however. were practically Ignored. Late In the s era ton the market was given additional strength by an - estimate on the wheat crop of France. According to an Eng lish expert, the total yield will be about 2SS,- COO.000 bushels. These figures suggested the probability that France would, have to Im port from America- 50.00.000 to 60.OW.000 bushels. During the last hour of trading shorts were extremely active bidders, but the demand continued to meet with meager offer ings. For July the hlrhest point ef the day was reached at S0Hi?fI-,c.

Prices Also Depressed by Larger Russian Shipments Require ments of Next Quarter. The grain situation in Europe Is reported by the London correspondent of the Northwest' ern Miller ot June 14 as follows: The sudden advent of hot weather at the dose of last week has had a rather decided effect upon the wheat market, which, like perspiring humanity, is very limp Just now, It Is an old saying that hot weather largely reduces the demand for bread. In addition to the bet weather and the generally favorable condition of the European crops, the market has also been Influenced by larger Russian -shipments than were pectcd. Everything tends to Indicate. In fact. that Russia has a very large amount of wheat available for. export. Under ordinary conditions the faet that European Importing countries depend upon Russia for so large a proportion of their re- qulrements -would have Influenced Russian holders very considerably; but this season the circumstances are-such that there Is general desire to turn the wheat Into cash. for accommodation by the banks In the mat ters of advances- on stored grain, is difficult to obtain. Nothing is. however, more obvious than that the requirements of ' Europe during the next three months until In fact, the new wheat comes Into play will be very large. England has practically no home-grown wheat left. Germany is almost In the same condition, and Spain Is Importing at the rate of about 100.- 000 quarters per week. a France Is disappointing In this respect, but the level of price In that country remains very close to an Importing point, and notn lng short of a very early harvest and very excellent crop prospects will. I believe, pre vent rather large Imports being found neces sary before August. Altogether I etill in cltne to the opinion that supply and demand will run a very close race during the next two months with the chances In favor of the latter from a market point of view If anything should happen to mar the crop prospects. Until 10 days ago there were rather serious complaints, both from official and private sources, that the Spring-sown crops en Rus- sta were being seriously endangered by the prolonged drouth. Since then, however, bene ficial rains have fallen tn the chief districts, and the anxiety la lessened, but not entirely dispelled. The following Is the record of the Euro pean imports of wheat and flour In the nine months from August 1 to April 30 (In quar ters. hundreds omitted): . 1004-5 1903-4 ....20,593 21,053 ....

Tetal 3S.29S Sundry countries 3.200 Total Europe 41.403 3S.607 3.159 Actual total for easen35,330 "Rate per annum. There Is every reason to believe that for the remaining three months of the j-eason the "requirements will average nearly 5.300.000 quarters per month, which would compare with an average monthly Import during the past nine months of only 4. 600.000 quarters, Such a quantity- Is not likely to be ferth coming and has. Indeed, only once before been reached In this period of the year. namely. In 1903. when America was able to export and to send us about 1,500,000 quar ters per month, which will be evidently missing this year. Mining Stocks. SAN FRANCISCO. June 20.
