HAY PRICES HOLD UP
Market Is Weakening, but as
Yet Is No Lower.
OREGON CROP IS LARGE
Damage Done in Sonic Sections by
. Recent Trains Scarcity of Fruit
' 'on Front Street Firm Tone
to Poultry Market.
HAT Market Is weakonlng. but Is
not yet lowor.
FRUITS Strong doroand causes
nearJy bare market. One car of Frosno
melons and three cars of bananas due
today.
VEGETABLES Declines reported in
greon corn and cucumbers.
POULTRY Gradual hardening of
values reported.
EGGS Two cars of Eastern due to
day. BUTTER Hot weather will lessen
supply of croam.
Notwithstanding the time of year, the hay
market holds up remarkably well. Lower
prices are bound to come, and the tone now
Is weaker, but values have not yot been low
ered. There is a good demand for No. l tim
othy, but dealers say that plenty of old stock
yet remains in the country. The brat timothy
Is held at $1C. and seond grade at $14.
Clover, grain -hay and cheat range from
511012 a ton.
The Oregen crop this year prentices to be
much larger than that cut last year, and the
quality generally will be very good. Haying
Is now under way in all 'sections. The rains
last week caused tome damage, as' consider
able hay had been cut. and was lying on
the fiends at the time. Quite a large cjuaatlly
of hay that was cut in Washington was also
damaged by the rain, and sme of it com
pletely destroyed. This was particularly true
of alfalfa In the eastern counties. Harvest
ing of the first crop of alfalfa is still In
progress in Idaho, and reports indicate that an
average crop is being saved in good condition.
"While the hay market has succeeded in hold
ing its own up to the time that the new crop
is coming on, the tame is not true of the oats
and barley markets. Both are depressed by
liberal offerings -of ncw-crep grain from Call
fornla, and some sharp declines have been
made In prices in the past week.
NOT ENOUGH FRUIT RECEIVED.
Jront Street Is Bare of Many Needed
Varieties.
"Wholesale fruit dealers have more difficulty
now In getting supplies than in disposing of
them. The market was entirely bare of some
lines yesterday, and no variety was in over
supply. The greatest scarcity was in peaches,
plums, apricots and such varieties of tree
fruits. Thero was a shipment of SO crates
of yellow peaches, but they did not go far.
Lemons and oranges were. aJo vary scarce.
A lot of green Bartlett pears brought up
some Ulme ago are ripening now, and Fell
well at 52.50 a bax. Brrles brought good
prices in The forenoon, but those not old
early wilted in the 'aftornoen and were sacri
ficed. "Watermelons were In strong demand, both
in the city and. country. A car of Fresno
melons will bo on hand today. A car of
cantaloupes came in yesterday. Three, cars
of bananas wore due last night.
GOOD POULTRY MARKET.
Receipt of Chickens Are Large, but the
Demand I Very Strong.
Poultry receipts yesterday were the hcaxiost
of two "weeks, but the demand was sufficiently
strong to clean up all arrivals. The only
line that was flow wax ducks. There is a
fear in some quarters that there may be an
other rtump in chickens if receipts continue
fo heavy, but this is hardly "probable, as the
demand appears to be growing right along
with the Increase in Exposition visitors. Hens
ranged in prlue from 12fc to 13 cents, with
averago stock, which formed the bulk of of
ferlngs. bringing 12 to 13 cents. Roosters
were worth from 0 to 12 cents, according to
size, email ones being wftrth more than large
ones. Springs weighing IVi to two pounds v.ero
quoted at 15& to 1C centf. and one to Im
pound broilers when choice brought a half
cent over that. Many of the ducks sent in
In the past few days have been too small,
and. In fact, the duck market altogether Is
unsatisfactory. There was a good demand for
turkeys, particularly fat young ones.
VEGETABLES TENDING LOWER.
Declines Arc Reported In Green Corn and
Cucumbers.
Most kinds of vegetables were plentiful yes
terday, and sold well. Greon corn made an
other drop to 20?25 cents a dozen. Cucum
bers tvere very abundant and were carter at
5060 cents a dwten. Beans were a drug on
the market.
There were a lot of tomatoes of all kinds
on hand. Some green ones are coming up
from California that may wilt before they
ripen. Hothouse tomatoes bring $2.5u3, and
those from The Dalles $2. Another car of
Garnet Chile potatoes arrived, and new Ore
gon potatoes reached the market in liberal
quantities.
Eastern Potato Crop Conditions.
A report Is' made on conditions of the po
tato crop in the East by Dun's Review of
July l as follows:
Maine In Cumberland County there is a
large acreage and likely to be a good yield.
New York Early potatoes aro looking fair,
but late varieties not very far advanced and
planting otill being done. '
Ohio In Miami County the potato crop was
ellghtly damaged by the recent hot weather.
Michigan Early potatoes are doing well,
late potatoes all planted, mostly up; weather
favorable now.
Wisconsin Doing well except In lowlands,
where there Is too much moisture; wme dam
age on account of bugs.
Missouri In Harrison County potatoes are
In excellent condition.
MAY BE CHANGE IN BUTTER.
Hot Weather Will Soon Lessen the Supply of
Cream.
Butter men are taking hope from the con
tinued spell of warm weather. Receipts of
cream and butter ha-o an yet shown no signs
of decrease, but it Is bound to come If the
temperature continues high. Stocks liave not
been moving any too well, and somo dimculty
has lately been experienced in disposing of
the surplus. Therefore, anything that would
tend to lessen the cream supply now would
be welcomed by most men in the trade.
As- cream shipment fall off. the demand
for Ice cream will Increase, and the effect
will be very quickly felt in the butter mar-
ket when the long-loeked-fer advance will
come.
WILL OPEN WATERMELON DEPOT.
Fresno Grower Reaches Portland to Estab
lish Bullae..
Mr. Artalia. of Fresno, one of the largest
watermelon growers In California, reached the
city yesterday afternoon. He is -hero for the
purpose of opening a depot for handling the
melons of bis district in this section of the
country.
Artalia Bros, have a. melon ranch of 300
acres and besides handle the product of a
large number of growers around Fresno. They
have a depot in San Franchise and will open
another here as won as a good location in
tiie produce district can be found. Mr. Ar
talia was In conference last night with the
mombsrs of the loeal Produce Association.
.More Eastern Eggs Coming.
Eggs continued firm yesterday with sales
reported at 20; 20 and 21 cent. The de
mand was heavy. Oregon receipts were only
fairly good and Eastern stocks were about ex
haotod. whleh led to the strength of the
market. However, two cars of Eastern eggs
will be on hand today which will check any
tendeney toward an advance, and probably
hold the market steady for a few days.

Idaho Crop Report.
The Idaho weekly crop bulletin sajvi in part:
Fruit cropn have made rapid advance during
the week: strawberries are ripening wetl in
the higher portions of the state and have
nearly disappeared from the market In west
ern valley; cherries are fairly plentiful and
ccnclderable quantities of raspberries are 1 ve
ins offered. Peach trees which escaped In
Jury from Spring frosts are heavily laden; a
few early applea arc mature.
The condition of small grain over moat of
the rtate is highly satisfactory, but in por
tions of the northern counties heavy rains have
caused some rank Winter wheat to lodge,
and In a few southeastern localities "dry
farm" grain Is suffering from lack of moisture;
very little wheat ha been harvemed. The
'season thus far has been rather too coo! for
the rapid growth of corn.
There is rtlll an abundance of range grass
in the mountains; native hay is reportel to
be a light crop la Southern Kootenai County;
harveM. of Srst-crop alfalfa Is still in prog
ress and reports Indicate that an average crop
is being raved in good condition.

MANIPULATION IN STOCKS
XEW YORK MARKET IX STRONG
'PROFESSIONAL- CONTROL.
Rcndinp and Union Pacific Hold
Conspicuous Place, in Trading.
"Demand for Time Loans.
NEW YORK. July 7. Today's transactions
in stocks yielded no larger total of sales than
yesterday. Reading and Union Paclflc still
held a conspicuous place In the trading. Read
ing extended Its record price, an It has each
day for some time past, and there teemed no
limit to the speculative confidence of thoc
who have advanced the stock. It Is suspected
that the ventures on the short side of those
who do not share the confidence In the preoent
price of the stock on a 4 per cent dividend
basin have served to further the campaign of
those who aro bulling the pric. Many ru
mors are current of the large outstanding
short Interest which is driven to cover ty the
persistent rise in the stock.
Union Pacific was subjected to profit-taking
sales and was thus held In cheek In spile of
the good returns of net earnings for May
made by the Harrtman Pacifies. To offiet tne
profit-taking, there was some diversion of pro
fessional support to other quarters of the
market, and this gave the market an appear
ance of somewhat greater breadth than that of
yesterday. Some of the low-priced nondirl
dend paying railroad stocks were brought Into
activity. Pennsylvania and Erieo- were both
trcng. There was little news bearing on
values or on the movement of" prices.
The report of the week's currency move
ment did not Indicate important change In
the cash Item of the banks and not much
attention was paid to It. An interesting de
velopment was the Urge Increase In tho de
mand for time loans. This was declared to
come from stock coromlssion-hoBses and was
supposed to be Incident to ihc present ac
tivity In the stock market or to prospective
operations there. The tone of time money was
steady, but there was no Important change lnj
the rates. The wheat market reflected some
anxiety aver the wet weather reported from
the crop regions, but the stock market wan
not Imprerced.
The day profk-taklng had Us effect on prices
and some small net losses were established
before the day was over. ' The Closing was
easy and at about the lowcet of the day.
Bonds were firm. Total sales. $4,510,000

SAN FRANCJ3CO, Cal.. July 7. (Special.)
The local dairy produce trade Is divided on
the proposition to revive the old. dairy ex
change, and the elaborate plan Just submitted
by the reorganization committee meets with
much opposition. Final action will be taken
at a meeting on Tuesday next, . From pres
ent Indications, the exchange is not likely to
be reopened for a long time to come, though
the., necessity for such an Institution Is gen
erally admitted.
Abnormally hot weather caused a dull mar

largely unsalable. Only a small quantity of
choice sound goods was obtainable, and prices
for the same are very strong.
Hops are firmer, as the hot wave has done
consldrabie damage ao the crop.
Orange, lemons and limes are booming as a
result of the hot weather demand, and -buyers
are readily paying almost any figure dealers
chocee to ask.
A vejsel was chartered for barley at union
rates.

CUSTOMARY QUIET TRADE CON
DITIONS PREVAIL.
Inventories Show Good Volume of
Business for First Six Months.
Greater Activity Expected.
NEW YORK. July 7. R. G. Dun Jt Co.'a
Weekly Review o't Trade tomorrow will say:
Customary quiet commercial conditions at
midsummer were augmented by the Interrup
tion of a holiday except that warm weather
gave Impetus to the distribution of seasonable
wearing apparel, sporting goods and outtng
supplier.
Widely varying reports are received regarding
the crop situation, prices rising higher than
would Iks the case If manipulation were less
vigorous, and exports are adversely affected.
Several threatened labor controversies have
been averted by agreement upon wage scales
for another year and building operations are
unusually brisk for the reason.
Inventories show a good volume of business
for the first six months of the year, and sttll
greater activity is expected In the last half.
Railway earnings in June were 6.5 per cent
larger than last year's, but foreign com
merce at this' port for the last week shows
a loss of $4167 In exports and a decreasw of
HS8.75S In Imports as compared with 1904.
Increased aivlty- is noted In the hide mar
ket. The demand emanates chiefly from on
prominent interest and Is confined mainly to
native steers. Foreign hides are dull. Sale:
men have returned from Western trips, buying
liberal orders for Spring shoes, and buyers
In the Boston market are operating freely on
Initial contracts.
Failures for thts week In the United States
are 160. agatnst 250 last week. 195 In the pre
ceding week and 206 the corresponding week
last year. Failures in Canada number 21,
against 16 last week and 12. last year.
LABOR IS WELL EMPLOYED.
Signing of Tin Plate Scale Removes Only
Threatening Peature.
NEW YORK. July 7. Bradstreets tomorrow
will say;
Holiday Influences. Irregular weathtr and
crop reports and seasonable shutdowns for
repairs and Inventories have tended to limit
the turnover of the week. Wool has strength
ened. Labor Is well employed, and the sign
ing of the new tlnplate scale removes the
only important threatening feature In Indus
trial lines which report no Important strikes
occurrtnr.
Railway earnings continue large, the gain
In June being 6 per cent, with May net earn
ings exceeding last year by S.5 per cent, and
the fiscal year will show a gain of 7 per
cent.
Business failures In the United States for
the past week ending July 6 are far below the
normal for this time of the year, being only
127, against ISO last week and 172 In the
like week of 1001. In Canada, falluren thts
week number 29, as against 33 last week and
14 in thlJ week a year ago.
Wheat. Including flour, exports for the week
ending July 6. are 1.050.644 bushels, agatnst
756.641 lae tweek and 878,910 this week last
year.
