- The demand for salmon, the strength of
which has been one of the features of the
canned goods market for several months, has
heen greatly stimulated by the loss ot large
tucks at San Francisco. This will Insure
the selling out of Columbia River chlnooks
1'rohably before the pack la completed. Some
lackers have already sold all they can pos
sibly out up and could fill orders for many
more cases If they could get the fish. What
effect the increased demand will have on
prices csnnot be told, but not much surprise
would he caused If an advance were made
over the opening figures.
It Is now stated from several authoritative
sources that the stock of red Alaska salmon
in 8an Francisco warehouses at the time of
the great fire was totally destroyed. Just how
much there .was held there is a point upon
which opinion In the trade differs, but what
i claimed' to be a conservative cellmate by a
Coast firm that has made an investigation
Pisces the ajnount lost In the destruction of
rhr San Francisco warehouses at 200.0UO
cass. This embraces stock held for the ac
count of Eastern trade, the San Francisco
Jobbers- stocks and the balance of holdings
cf packers In -the burned district.
Advices from Seattle say that the remaind
er of the 1606 pack of Puget Sound cockeye
flat and halves have been bought for ex
port to Kngland. The stock of Puget Sound
eockeye salmon left in packers' hands a. month
ago aa estimated at 3&0.U00 cases, of Which
110.000 consisted of tails and the remainder
of flats and half-pounds.
In this connection a statement credited to
E. B. Demlng. manager of the Pacific-American
Fisheries, that prices on the 1906 pack
of Puget Found sockeyea will not be announced
until the pack has been made Is of more than
usual Interest. Mr. remlng la quoted as say
ing that he can see no reason whjr prices on
I his year's pack of sockeycs should be less
than the opening quotations on Columbia
Hirer chlnookw, and he Intimates that ' they
may poecibly be higher.
rOCLTAY MARKET WEAK.
IS apply I lncrainff and 1-owfr IrU-rs
Mil fit Come.
Thr egg market continue firm, but dealers
report some difficulty in obtaining 20 cents,
while a number of large sales are known to
have been made at ll cents. The bulk of
business ta reported at 19S cents.
n viewing the poultry market and proa
pecta. the weekly market letter of a leading
Fron t-at ree t fl rm sa y :
The market haa held up very well, but there
ia no question but that hens and springs are
beginning to come in more freely, aud we are
cf the opinion that prices on both will be
lower In the very near future, it is evident
that a good many herwi have stopped laying,
and that they are about to be marketed,
and prices on these will surely drop soon.
Springs are coming; more freely and of larger
lie. and they also will soon sell for less
money. We have been getting 15c on hens
and l'5c on Springs, but warn shipper that
they must look for lower quotations soon.
Iuck are still quite firm at lTiauc. Geese
are fair sellers at 104? 12c. Turkey hens are
firm at 18c, but old gobblers are not wanted
ery badly at IMilrte. Sqimb pttreone are firm
st 3. with old ones at 1.50-3 2. We are of
the opinion that some good hens tnd large
Springs, none loss than 1 pounds to the
d-nxen under any circumstances, w ill meet with
a very good market next week, but advise
holders to not ruh things" in this line.
There will be an immense amount of poultry
wanted in thta market this Summer and Fajl,
and we hope raisera will prepare to All the
demand.
There were no new developments in the but
ter or cheese markets yesterday, and former
Trices were quoted.
GOVERNMENT HOP STATISTICS.
(rowers Advled to Be Kcsveonnbly Moderate
tn Maklnc Their Returns.
I.A CONNER. Wash., May 15, (To the
Editor.) Now that the Govern meat haa in
augurated a sstem of taking the acreage of
hop production In this country, it would be
well to caution growers to be reasonably mod
erate In giving census returns. There Is a
natural tendency among Individuals to exag
gerate their yield, and this should be avoided
for obvious reason.
If a yard Is badly run down with a lot
of missing hills, or much waste of head
hands, a . ia sometimes the case, all auch
shortage or wasce should be carefully esti
mated end omitted for the time be ins. The
return should only show what would be
equivalent to a compact area in full bearing
and careful cultivation, 'as. some yards are
occasionally more or leos neglected, and to
give the actual acreage within an inclosure
would b misleading to the manifest injury
of the industry. .1AS. BOWEIl.
MORE OREGON' STRAWBERRIES.
Receipts Are the Best of the Season Cali
fornia Fruit Poor.
Oregon strawberries proved- to be more
. plentiful yesterday, about 130 crates reach
ing Front street. The general quotation was
1 vents and the demand was good. A mod
erate supply of California, berries was re
cet ed. More could have ben disposed of
had the quality been better. The Dollar
were all right, but the Jessies were In poor
shau rrtcca ranged from $1.25 to SI. SO a
crate. California be rr less wiU continue to
arrive for ths remainder of the week, but
if there are a few warm days, Oregon fruit
will take their place the coming week. Four
cars of bananaa were received yesterday. They
were in fine condition.
PI GAR IN STRONG DEMAND.
Movement Haa Been Very Heavy Since the
Re-cent Decline.
Wholesale grocers report an exceeringly
heavy movement in sugar since the decline
of of cent Tuesday. The drop is re
garded av a good thing. Inasmuch as it atimu
fett Che award by creating; the Idea that
the Vttom of the market has been reached.
It la needles to aay that had the decline
been gradual. 10 or 15 points at a time, buy
ing would hs.ve been merely of a. band-to-mouth
character. If prices are at bedrock
now. which Is the general opinion, any ad
vances that may come along will only accel
erate purchasing.
Refined sugars declined 10 points at New
York yesterday. It was probably owing; to
friction among the Eastern refiners', as the
market for raw sugar was firm.
Eastern Mohair Market.
Eastern advices report farther interest tn
domestic mohair, and sales of rood Texas at
25 to 26 cents have been made. Texas grow
ers are asking 24 to 25 cent landed in Bos
ton, but buyers refuse to consider anything;
above 22 cents at the precent time. A steady
business m Turkey mohair of the finer grades
is passing at Boston. Fine sells at 62 to
5o cent. Tha Bradford. England, market to
reported firm, but quiet. Domestic grades
are quoted at Boston a follows: Combing, 30

combings, 21 24c.
Veal of Good Quality.
Veal receipt have been heavy in the
last fe-v days, but all the arrivals have
been worked off. The quality of the veal,
as a rule, waa exceedingly good, and this en
abled the dealers to move supplies more
readily. Mutton is weak, as supplies are
large and the demand slower. Lambs are
quoted lower. Fork continues firm for fancy
solid block stock.

STOCK PRICES SAGGING
NEW YORK MARKET AGAIN BE
COMES IRREGULAR.
Securities Lifted on the Preceding
Day Are Sold for the Profits.
Gold for San Francisco.
NEW TORK. May 17. The professional
limitations of the current stock market clear
ly defined themselves again by the action of
today's market. Varying fluctuations over a
narrowing range and consequently discour
agement of any partioipation outside of ths
moat persistent professional operators were
the characteristics of the trading.
The early dealings; made a show of consid
erable animation and carried) an impression
of a continuance of the brisk advancing ten
dency of the latter part of yesterday. The
adroitness of the display of strength pointed
to skilful and veteran market management,
but it was not so skillful as to prevent the
fact emerging with glaring distlnctnsss In a
short time that stocks which were conspicu
ous for strength yesterday were being dili
gently fed into tha market for the purpose
of realizing profits whilo ths new points of
strength were sustaining prices by sympathy
and encouraging the purchase by new spec
ulative elements of the stocks which were
lifted to higher prices in yesterday's deal
ings. These stocks included most of those
which are supposed to be the favorite medium
for operatlona by the so-called Standard Oil
party. Their advance yesterday was due to
the Influence of ths Anaconda annual report
and the expected statement by the Standard
Oil officials in reply to the arraignment of
the company by the Commissioner of Cor
porations. Tha professional element adopted
the inference thst this powerful group of cap
italists was embarked on a campaign for a
rise in prices.
When It became evident today that the
same stocks were being sold to take profits,
professional sentiment was thrown into a
quandary again as to the attitude of ths
Standard Oil party. Lacking light on this
important question, the professional element
was not much Impressed with other news
developments of the day. The strength wss
pretty strictly confined to the group of an
thracite coalers on the assumption that great
benefits were to accrue from the labor settle,
ment for s term of years to come.
Very spectacular advancea were scored in
the high-priced members of this group. The
Pennsylvania group was subject at the out
set to depression, which was rather clearly
traceable to the disclosure elicited by the in
quiry into the soft coal carriers and by a re
port that President Cassatt contemplated re
tirement. Pennsylvania has been heavy in
tone sines the $50,000,000 loan was an Influ
ence in the market, supplemented as it was
by rumors of additional borrowing to com.
The violent decline tn National Lead on
the resumption of dividends proved rather
formidable to those who have bought other
stocks on an extensive scale in anticipation
of new dividend declarations or ot Increased
dividends.
More serious attention was paid to the
resumption of the currency outgo to San Fran
cisco. Today's transfers to that point
through the sub-Treasury rose to $2,227,000,
and yesterday's explsnation. of a "special
transaction" lost its force of reassurance to
day. The movement Is said to be likely to
reach considerable proportions again in prep
aration for the early resumption of banking
in San Francisco and also, it is believed, on
account of remittances by some of the insur
ance companies with the expiration of the 30
day period after the losses. The sub-Treasury
accounting shows a heavy loss by the banks
on the week's operations, but as this Is on
account of the return of Government deposits
allowed against gold engagements and la
made good by the receipt by the banks of the
Incoming gold from abroad, the real position
ot the bank is not affected.
Local money rates were not affected by the
renewal of the movement to San Francisco.
Foreign exchange rates were inclined to ad
vance, thus offering no suggestion of a re
sumption of the gold import movement. Crop
damage reports affected the wheat market,
and may have contributed to the unsettlement
of stocks. The fagging movement was as Ir
regular as yesterday's hardening movement,
but there was a general yielding at the last,
and the closing tone was weak.
Bonds were irregular. Total sales, par
value, $2,500,000. United States bonds were
unchanged on call.
