Because of these Northern ahlpmenU and

a well-posted butter man said yesterday:

Figure la Bald to Be Better Than Anythlnc
Paid Since October,
One of the heaviert holders of hops In the
tate reported yesterday that he had re
ceived an offer on 130 bales of "Washington
tiops better than anything paid In Oregon since
last .October, but he was so Impressed with
the strength of the market that he had not
accepted the -offer at a late hour. No busi
ness of Importance hm transacted during the
day, the only sales announced being small lots
of Inferior goods at comparatively low prices
For choice quality the nominal value remains
at 12S to 13 cents.
Some dealer were Inclined to regard the
market an easier and thought that speculative
holders were more willing to consider offers,
but if such a willingness was expressed, it
did not lead to actual business. So far as the
growers art concerned, they are stronger than
ever In their vlewa. It la contended also
that the growers' ideas have been elevated by
the tactics of dealers who ar trying to keep
the former off the market while they unload
at the present profitable prices. This game,
of course, may have been worked but the
unloading by the dealers) is yet to begin.
The market has resolved itself Into a purely
speculative affair and the short interest is
Playing no part In it at all. The bulk of
the available supply te cornered and the profit
will come to the holders w he never there Is
any legitimate demand from the brewing
trade. Most of the brewers are well stocked,
but there are probably some that will need
hops fcefare the new crop come on, and when
they do, they will have to pay good prices
for them. The only Interest the shorts take
In the market now Is one of satisfaction, as
It will enable them to write better contracts
for neat season's delivery.
That Portland is becoming the leading hop
center of the coast Is shown by the fact that
S. F. Uhlmann. or New Yfirk, have estab
lished quarters here, opening an office In the
McKay building. M. W. Gilbertson will have
charge of the local office. The Arm will also
keep Its office at Aurora.
HOOD RJTVEK STRAWBERRIES SOON.
Nearly a Carload of California Berries Will
Arrive Today.
Advices were received from Hood River
yesterday that the first shipments of straw
berries would be made to Portland today or
Monday Yesterday's receipts of Southern
Oregon berries amounted to 18 crates, which
sold at 20 cents. From California 500 crates
were received, most of them In verv Xair
condition. Jessies ranged in price from $1.25
to $1.60 a crate, and the few Dollars In the
lot sold for $1.65. Almost a carload will be
In from California today, and If they reach
the street In time and in good condition. ' aU
should clean up. Larger receipts of Oregon
berries are alto looked for. Cherries are com
ing forward more freely, but still sell well
at $1.5ft. Citrus fruits are In good demand
t trong prices. The supply of storage ap
ples left in the Mate, it Is said, will net last
a month longer.
Northern California points are preparing to
hip larger quantities of fruit and vegetable
here, ai they must find a market and San
Francisvo is practically closed to them. A
good deal of the produce will- come on con
signment. Vegetables are In good supply, and some
lines are overplenttful. This is the case with
cucumbers, which have declined sharply. Re
cent shipments are from. Santa Cruz. Sacra
mento and Maryavllle. Peas are steadier and
beans lower. There Is a good sale for rhu
barb at quotations. Asparagus Is moving
well, but Is tn large supply.
May Be Top of Egg Market.
Egg dealers believe the top of the market
has been reached. Trade yesterday was ac
tive on local and shipping account and prices
were firm, but no higher.
Poultry mas in light supply and good de
mand. Cheese is arriving liberally and local stocks
are again satisfactory, but the market holds
steady.

STOCKS ONLY SUFFER
PROSPKROUS CONDITIONS IN
OTHER LLES OF BUSINESS.
Railway Earnings Surpass Those of
Corresponding Periods in
All Former Years.
NEW TORK. May 4. R- G. Dun ft Co.'s
Weekly Review of Trade tomorrow will say:
The violent decline in prices of sfcurltles
is no criterion of business conditions. Railway
earnings have continued to marpass those of
the corresponding period in any previous year,
the gain for April being 9.3 per cent over the
same month of 1P05 and other standards of
measurement make equally gratifying ex
hibits. Liabilities of failures last month showed
a decrease of over 40 per cent in manufac
turing and 12 per cent in trading branches
of business, as compared with the previous
year. The only drawbacks regarding the fut
ure are the labor controversies and the strin
gency in the money market, neither of which
may prove of more than temporary duration.
Foreign commerce for the last week shows
gains of (l.&n,t)72 in exports and (2.043,729
in Imports, as compared with the same week
last year.
Tanners evince a disposition to operate more
conservatively, which has checked the upward
tendency of hides.
Failures this week in the United States are
212, against 215 last week, 199 the preceding
week and 212 in the corresponding week last
year. Failures in Canada number 31. against
20 last week, 18 the preceding week and 22
last year.
RETAJI, AND JOBBING TRADE ACTIVE.
Bulldinjc Operation, on nn Unprecedented
Scale.
NEW TORK. May 4. Bradstreefs tomor.
row will say:
Report of active retail and jobbing trade,
of immense, in fact, unprecedented building
operations, and of really excellent crops, fur
nish a eharp contrast to the weakness of the
country's central market for securities. Rail
way earnings are large, clearings still make
record, for this season of the year and call
for replacement at San Francisco is a feature
helpful to trade in many lines.
Business failures In the United States are
email In number for the week ending May 3,
only 13tt, against 177 last week and 1&7 in
the like week In 1805. In Canada failures
this week number. 20, as against 23 last week
and 2 In this week a year ago.
Wheat. Including flour, export, from the
United States and Canada for the week nd

BEARS IN FULL ROUT
Tide Turns in New York Stock
Market.
DAY'S GAINS ARE LARGE
Prices Advance as Sharply as They
Dropped in the Middle of the
Week Banks' Position
Is Stronger. .
NEW YORK, May 4. The movement of
prices of stocks turned definitely against the
shorts today and a lively demand developed
from uncovered bears to secure stocke. The
rate of recovery was closely apportioned to
that of the previous decline, the severest suf
ferers in the slump rising most buoyantly In
the recovery. '
The day started with a further attempt on
the part of the bears to force a further de
cline, the attack centering , on Amalgamated
Copper in continuation of Its closing weak
ness yesterday. Very light selling was
forced out by this drive and the bears began
a systematic movement to cover shorts
Amalgamated Copper was a prominent leader
of the recovery. The upward movement
gained force after the appearance of the
President's special message on the Standard
Oil Inquiry, and It became manifest that the
effect of the document on speculative senti
ment had been entirely miscalculated by the
professional operators. There was an occa-
i slonal halt In the advance, but no notable
reaction after the feverish movements of the
flrst fiour.
The further prices advanced without bring
ing out a renewal of any considerable offer
inga, the firmer grew the conviction that ne
cessitous liquidation of the kind which flooded
the market In the middle of the week waa
over. The beam had to pursue a pretty steady
advance in prices continually to secure their
needed supplies of stocks.
Reading was a conspicuous feature in the
rally. No definite news was received from
the miners' convention, but the action of
Reading was taken to indicate that the
strike had been overdiscounted in the trad
ing. The preliminary estimates of the showing
by tomorrow's bank statement are involved,
but the tons of the -call money market was
distinctly easier and the impression was
strong that the condition of the bank was
improved. A marked sentimental effect
was produced by the news that arrangements'
had been made for a retransfer of money to
New York by one of the Oakland banks. It
was inferred from this that the San Francisco
banks were finding themselves glutted with
the superabundance of cash and that a re
turn flow in considerable volume might be ex
pected from that point with the reopening of
the banks and the re-establishment of confi
dence. Estimates of the gain In cash of the clearing-house
banks for the week varied from
5,000,000 to upward of 18.000.000. An un
known factor in the showing is the amount
of cash withdrawn by the trust companies for
establishing reserves under the requirements
of the recently enacted law. There is no
question of the enormous liquidation of the
week In the stock market which was accom
panied by the paying off of loans, but how
far the .requirements for new credits which
form the motive for calling loans may have
been an offset in the week's change in the
loan Item Is the subject of doubtful conjec
ture, 1
The day's net changes in stocks show gains
ranging between 2 and 10 points for all the
active Issues and the closing tone was buoy
ant with the bears in full rout and scrambling
to . oover--shorts - Berths wre Irregular, To
tal sales, par value, 2,920.000. Ijnlted States
bonds were all unchanged on call.

WHHTMDDOWN
Chicago Market Unsettled by
. Crop News.
CLOSES AT QUARTER LESS
Last Reaction Brought About by
Profit-Taking Lower Prices at
Liverpool A'olmne of
Trading Is Small.
CHICAGO. May 4. The wheat market to
day was much unsettled and the volume of
trading was small. At the opening prices
were bearishly affected by lower quotations
at Liverpool, ' liberal shipments from Argen
tina and the crop reports from Ohio and Mis
souri. According to the Missouri report, ' the
condlton- of Fal-aown wheat waa 87 on May
1. compared with 85 on April 1, while the.
Ohio report gave the condition of wheat in
that state as 103. against lol a month ago. At
the end of the first hour, the market rallied
sharply on covering by shorts who were actu
ated by damage reports, a number of advlcea
from Kansas telling of injury to the crop
there. The news was not all of this charac
ter, however, and many reporta told of the
favorable condition of the new crop. The
market held firm until late In the day, when
a second reaction took place on profit-taking.
The close aa easy. July opened (f? to c
lower, at 7SrKe to 78c. advanced to
7979c, and closed off c. at 7- fr78c.
Trading in the com pit was very quiet, and
the tone was steady. Large local receipts,
liberal phipmems from Argentina, and lower
prices at Liverpool had a depressing effect at
the opening, out were offaet later by an of
ficial forecast of unsettled weather in the
corn belt. The market closed steady. July
opener! c to Sc lower, at 45'3!45c to
45c. sold between 40c and 45c, and closed
(5c down, at 45'4045e.
The feature of trading tn oats was the con
tinued liquidation of May by a prominent bull.
July opened a shade lower at 30 c, sold be
tween 3oi30c and 30c, and closed un
changed at 30 c.
Provisions were firm early in the day. but
later became auite weak because .of profit,
taking. A 5 to lOc decline in the price of
live hogs was chiefly responsible for the weak
close. The final quotation on July pork was
$15.25. which was 15 below the close of yester
day. Lard waa down 5c at $8.37. Ribs
were unchanged at $8.50.

NEW YORK, May 4. A young Italian

subject of layarotamy, which was dis
cussed at the New York Academy of Medi
cine last night, and excited the greatest
Interest.
The girl last October was shot throuRh.
the spinal cord, abdomen and liver. Hie
surgeon who performed . the subsequent
operation read a paper on the subject be
fore the academy.
The girl now shows only a slight halting
In the action of the left leg and a small
tendency to ,bend backward. The opinion
was expressed that she would eventually
gain entire control of her powers of loco
motion. This was declared to be one, of the most
wonderful cures effected through the me
dium of American surgery.
In many respects the wound was lik
that which caused the death of President
McKinley, and was identical, it was said,
with that which resulted more recently in
the death of Marshall Field, Jr., of Chi
