1-1 The wool market In the paM week has
T!ewn but a repetition of the old etory. 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.

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.

ket was strong. July opened a shade higher
at 3214c advanced to S2c and closed o
to lue higher at S2gic.
Provisions were easier at the ooening be
cause of a five-cent decline in the price of

TURN TO SPECIALTIES
SUGAR AGAIN BECOMES PROMI
"EXT IX STOCK MARKET.
Hesitating and . 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.

ONE MILLION TONS OF RAILS. .
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.
