MEATS Veal receipts of fine quality. - 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.

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.

TRADING ON LARGE SCALE Reports of Drouth and Crop Damage Are the Stimulating Factors. Gain for the Day Is 1 3-4 Cents. CHICAGO. May 17. The wheat marltet waa ttrong from the opening to the. close, and trading was active all day. The market opeoed firm because of the falure of the pre dicted showers to materialise In the territory of the Fall-sown wheat, the Weather Bureau reporting an entire absence of moisture with high temperature prevailing. A factor of minor importance at the opening waa the firmness at Minneapolis, whero 'stocks of wheat are rapidly decreasing. As trading progressed, the market was further strength ened by a large number of report from the Southwest telling of damage by drouth and of Injury by rust In Oklahoma and Texas. The demand for wheat was extremely urgent during the entire day. At times there waa liberal profit-taking, but all offerings wer eagerly absorbed. The market closed steady with prices at the highest point. July opened &ic to 6c higher, at 81Hc to 14c, advanced to S3c, and closed at the top. l,c to lc net higher. The oorn market was strong the greater part of the day. Late in the day there waa considerable profit-taking, but prices held firm. Continued small receipt had a bullish effect. The market closed strong. July opened j,c higher, at 47WC. sold up to 4S'-c ana closed e higher, at 4I7ic. Shorts and cash houses were active buyers or oats, and the market was atrong all day.

The feature of trading In provisions wsa an active demand for July ribs, a local pack er being credited with heavy purchases of tnat product.

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. CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS, Closing Sales. High. Low. Bid. Adams Express. 100 230 230 245 Amal.
