Buy era and seller entertain a difference of opin ion ae to values, and the result la a atate of inactivity a pronounced aa at any time aince the opening of the year. The buyers say flatly they will not pay the price asked, aa the Boston market cannot stand them, nor will manufacturers pay for wool on the basis or "Western lda. The growers, on the other hand, seem con fident that they will win out. Judging from their refusal to accept the present offers msde. They have an Idea that the prices paid laat year, or better, will rule this sea son, and that the stand taken by the buyers Is only a "bluff" to bear down the market. The principal factor in stimulating the views of sheepmen Is undoubtedly the strong position of the English wool market. Prices at Ijondon have shown advances at every sale. It Is pointed out by traders that this upward tendency of the London market is aolely due to statistical conditions abroad, which do not affect the American markets. During the Ruesn-Japanese War, France and Germany supplied most of the army clothing and their supplies were entirely cleaned out by the abnormal demand. Roth these countries are heavy buyers in London. The Americans, however, have bought scarcely anything there, owing to the large supply of wool In this country and also because of the duty. The demand continues good In Germany and France, and as the mill are short of supplies-, they are restocking by buying heavily In London. This keen competition la respon .j ble for the steady advances In the English market. Heretofore price changes in this country have followed the London market. Usually the American prices have been above a parity with London, but this year the latter market has msde up or exceeded the difference. Not hav ing the stimulating effect of the keen com petitive buying that has taken place In Lon don, the Boston market h&a f Ailed to keep t place with the rise abroad. That the Amer ican manufacturers hold tTie kej.-to.the stiu stion In this country Is clearly set forth in the weekly review of the Boston Commercial Bulletin, which says: , The evident consensus of opinion is that the market Is now at Its summit of prices, notwithstanding the course of London.- At the same time, there Is no reason whatever why the existing basis of values should not be maintained. Merchants realize that If they pay the prices aeked In the territories, they will be forced to demand advances of 10 or 12 per cent from manufacturers, who in turn euld undoubtedly balk. The latter have a limit at which they can profitably take wool, end values beyond that would surely create difficulties for all concerned. Such a con tingency dealers are most anxious to avoid, and their continued determination to wait be fore operating until growers see the situation In Its proper light seems to prove their sin cerity of purpose. The market Is receiving a little more, at tention from buyers, and some sales are be ing made. Transactions are necessarily email In most instances, as the supplies of all kinds of wool are very meager. Nevertheless, the volume of business being accomplished by sev eral of the larger houses Is greater than that of a week ago. Other Arms say that trade Is absolutely dull, but they all agree that prices are very firm. Of domestic wools, clothing territory comprises the bulk of the offerings. Sales of greasy and scoured territory, foreign cross bred snd me linos, as well as small lines of Fall Tea as. and unwashed fleeces, with fair transfers of pulled wools, furnish the ac tivity of the week. Having- come to the cone hi si on that the Boston market la high enough, dealers are not at all affected by the strong opening of the London auctions, last Tuesday. Of course, the present firmness is a little more accentuated, but even considering that foreign wools are cheeper here than on any other market, it Is impossible to obtain ad ances over prices ruling- fnr some time. Still the woolgrowers believe they are going lo have their inning and that the public sales, which begin in Eastern Oregon next meek, will show they are right. The buy ens are noncommittal as to the course they will pursue at the sales, but infer that the Mds will prove a disagreeable surprise to the sheepmen. Only a few small lots were reported to have changed hands in the Eastern counties in the past week. In the. Valley, nothing was done, so far as could be learned. Coarse Valley wools do not appear to be wanted by the trade this year. None of the Portland houses re port transactions In Washington or Idaho wools. It Is said that one of the largest growers of Idaho is willing to consider less than he rejected two or three w-eka ago. In Nevada occasional sales are b?lng put through at 1&1T1D cents. A few small con tract hae been made In Montana at 22 to 25 cents. At Rawlins. Wyo.. there are 19 men. but no wools are being bought, with one xceptlon. A clip of 100,000 pounds was re cently takrn by a prominent Summer-street Arm at 32 Sc. the highest offer made in a scaled bid sale. Previous sealed bids' had been unsuccessful. LARGE APPLE AND TEACH C ROTS. 1ropcta Are Bright in Southern Oregon. Weather Against Berry Tmdr. F. H. Page returned yestrday from a trip through the fruit sections of Southern Ore gon and reports the prospects bright for ex ceedingly large crops. The apple crop will be very fine and the peach crop much heavier than lest year. Trading In all kinds of fresh produce was checked by the stormy weather yesterday. It wss a good thing that only about half the usual quantity of strawberries came in. or the market would have been badly demor alised. Regular price were obtained on the best offerings, but a rood deal of poor stuff s received from California which sold low, according to Its quality. Nearly all the Southern fruit waa of the Je.ste variety. Ixvral berries were in moderate supply, but will probably be short tcday. Cherries moied ratter and the best mere quoted higher at 9 L. bo. A crate of local hothouse lettuce, lae first of the season, arrived on Front street and brought SI a basket. There Is an oversupnly of cabbage, which has caused considerable weakness in prices. About five carloads were cn the street yesterday, and another car ar rived last night. Report from Seattle said there were 12 cars there. CHEESE PRICES CUT. Offerings Being Made at Low Figures But ter Holds Its Own. Cheese prices are being sharply cut. Some of the Coast factories are at war, according to reports received, and the result Is that very chrap cheese is being offered on this mar ket. Quotations as low as 12 cents were an nounced yesterday. The butter market holds Its own. in spite of the heavy receipts Tuesday from Coos Bay. The creameries report a steady move ment, and stocks on Front street are kept down. More eggs than usual were offering on the street yesterday, which made It dfnicult to get prices up to the 20-cent mark. Receipts have not increased, but It is said that storage operations have about ceased, which ac count for the better supply. Chickens are coming forward more liber ally and an early decline in prices is expected. Expect Renewed Demand for Hops. Holders of hops look for a renewal of the demand !n the latter part of the month. At the present time there is no Inquiry, to speak of, and no offerings of hops are being made on the market. It is figured, by the few men who have hops In their possession, that a considerable amount of May deliveries must be mad by the shorts, and it is pretty cer tain. If such Is the case, that they will have to pay stiff prices for the goods. Bank Clearings, Bank Clearing of the leading cities of the Northwest were: Clearing. Balances. Portland Seattle .

CHICAGO MARKET STRONG Firmness Also Due to Decrease in Stocks at Minneapolis Steady Cables Lead to Ac tive Baying. CHICAGO. May 1. Notwithstanding r porta of additional showers throughout th, "Winter wheat section, the market opened firm on a rood demand by commission bouses. The buyinjc waa due to some extent to the teady tone of Liverpool cables. Another reason for the initial firmness was the con tinued decrease in stocks of wheat at Min neapolis. lAtr came reports from the Southweat that rust has made its appear ance In several localities in Oklahoma and Texas. During the last half hour a portion of the early sain was lost on profit-taking. The market, however, closed stronir.

Unsettled Condition of Sentiment Shown by Fre quent Fluctuations. NEW TORK, May 16. Frequent fluctua tions in prices-today indicated the unsettled and negating condition of speculative senti ment. There was a marked disposition to turn to stocks of the class known aa special ties for action on the part of the professional contlngent.which operates from -day to day. Sugar,, the old-time favorite, was made espe cially prominent today with a degree of ac tivity which has not been seen for many months. The- parallel movement in Beet Sugar was made to give a semblance of Im port art t developmenta impending regarding trade relations, but no authentic information was given out on tha subject. Thers was a similar movement In Amalgamated Copper and the copper group. This was professedly based on the annual report of the Anaconda Mining Company. The highly prosperous conditions in the copper .trade were duly reflected in this report, which waa aiso elaborated with flnan-. rial and operating details beyond precedent. Something was made of this fact as a prom Is of a departure in policy on ths part of the group of capltallsta which the stock mar ket element designates aa "the Standard Oil" party. The motley outlook waa the subject of earn est consideration in the light of the borrow ing by the Pennsylvania Company yesterday of g6O.00O.0O0 for IS months on a basis of rather more than 6 per cent. : Funds in the time loan market were reported abundaat end readily lendable at 4V per cent for perlra up to eix months. For that maturity there were some loans at 6 per cent and for over the end of the year periods. 5 per cent was reported strongly bid. with ."i asked. IMscouma hardened in all foreign markets. Some of the exchange offering In this market was said to be on account of foreign pur chases of the Pennsylvania notes. Tha statement of the country' foreign trade for April and for 10 months indicated a strong position in ths international exchanges, tha merchandise balance in favor of thia coun try for April being $37,164,871. aa against $33,468,086 for April of last year, while for the 10 months of the fiscal year the excess value of exporta over Imports has risen to $467,812,164. compared with $S3.074,20 for the corresponding period last year. Attention waa attracted today to the dis cussion of the extraordinary rate showing In the last number of the London Economist oa hand. This accepted authority offers an esti mate of the holdings of American flnanca bills now held In England and France, amount ing to $400,000,000, and expresses ths opinion that the meeting of the maturity of these bills during the coming months will operate to maintain money rate in New "York in spire of the heavy volume of merchandise exports. The influence of the Anaconda annual re port was supplemented to some extent by In timations of a forthcoming statement from the Standard OH Company from which a fa vorable effect on speculative sentiment waa augured. The transfer through the sub Treasury of over $900,000 to San Francisco waa attributed to a special transaction, and not to any resumption of the previous move ment to that point growing out of the firs losses. The market continued to show some irregularity throughout the day. but last prices were about the best, and the closing tone was firm. Bonds were steady. Total sales, par value, $2,415,000. United States bonds were un changed on call. CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS. Closing Sales. High. Low. Bid. Adams Express. 100 245 245 240 Amal. Copper. .163.600 110T4 108 110 Am.

Immense Orders Are Placed for 1907 Delivery. CLEVELAND. May 16. The Iron Trade Review tomorrow will say: The very great prosperity of the railroads, so closely connected with that of the Iron and steel business, has been reflected for many months in unprecedentedly heavy pur chases of rails, and that this policy of lib eral buying is not to be abandoned is clearly shown by the heavy orders already placed and others pending. It is estimated that 1.000,000 tons of steel rails for 1907 delivery has been under negotiation and that fully half of this tonnage has been placed. The Illinois Steel Company, which has already been patronized liberally by Western rail roads, will probably book orders for 1907 considerably in excess of its present capacity, with the expectation that the new mill at Garyvind will be completed in time to assist In filling orders. The demand for structural material shows some diminution, but mills are very busy on old orders. The San Francisco demand has not been beard from to any appreciable extent. SAN FRANCISCO QUOTATIONS.
