Flour shippers look Coward to a good movement to Japan In July and August. The new duty on flour will" go into effect on Oc tober 1, and. Judging from the past experi ence of the market, it is ra.fe to say the Japanese will buy rather heavily in antlct jatlon of the advanced tariff. This Is pretty certain to create a stirrer market for flour on the Cowt, but as the new duty will be 18 rents a barrel higher and as stocks In Japan tty the middle of Summer will be low. It la rot thought that a Htronger flour market will retard' buying by the Oriental. It is a question where the flour will come from, should the demand be very heavy. Supplies In the Northwest are by no means large nor Is there any great quantity of wheat available, in thie territory. It is prob ably due to these causes that millers have lately been picking up what lota of wheat they could in farmers' hands, which has had more to do with strengthening the mar ket than the .sentimental effect of the flurry In the East. The price offered for club wheat by millers yesterday was 72 cents, and 74 cents was quoted on bluestem. It Is likely, however, that a good lot of club could have found a buyer at a cent better. These price are above what wheat exporters can pay, and are likewise beyond the California baeis. Japanse orders for flour at the moment are light, but show some Improvement over those lately received. No new business Is being worked up with Hongkong. n the boycott still interferes there. The, local movement Is good with prices strong and likely to advance eon. JKNUIJSH HOP C ROP BACKWARD. Cold Weather Cause the Plant to Make Very Slow Growth. The latent reports of the English hop crop Indicate that It is- not doing ae well as lat season. ' Advices from Worcester dated May 3 paid: "Owing to continued cold weather the hop plant makes very slow growth and in places the young shoots have been i ut down by frost. ' ' 1 1 w ill be remembered that It was about the last of May In lk hen similar reports began arriving of a crop that turned out to be about th smallest Dn record. New York state growers are complaining Of a great many missing hills in the old yard1 and there Is some talk of plowing up. The Cooperrtown Journal of latest date said: "As to the condition of the yards this Spring, c hfr from all sources that old yard have brn badly Winter killed. The new yards are reported to be In good condition." The Schoharie Republican said: "The weather has been cold, with frosts during the past week and hops have made little progress. Jtaln fell on Tuesday night and, tho yards turn- are In flns condition, only needing warm leather to show rapid growth.' The Watervllle Times reports: "The new crop seems to be coming along nicely and tying will be general in the more advanced yards In a day or two. Further complaint 1 "heard about the backwardness and even killed out condition of the old yards." Mont favorable reports are received of the condition of hopyards in Oregon. A. J. Ray made a thorough inspection of his big yard in Washington County early in the week and fi.und no trace whatever of pee. There is no movement in the market beyond the occasional writing of a contract. Ieal ns are offering 10 cents for this kind of business. LAST OF CALIFORNIA STKAW BKRRItS. Oregon Fruit Has Taken First Place in the Market. "Yesterday wound up the acaoon on Cali fornia strawberries. Only T crates were received ty express nml none at all will ar rive today. It in possible that a few strag gling lot s will come along later, but Ore gons will now take their place in the local market. Hood River berrlea were more plen tiful and moved freely at 15 cents. Berries from points tip the Valley generally sold at 10 cents. The prospects are for a Arm mar ket today. A vcar of navel oranges arrive! yesterday and another is due today, which may be the last straight car of the season. Ripe bananas are In sufficient supply, and will last until the next tot of three or four cars gets In Thursxlsy. Peas and beans were both scarce yesterday and made a sharp advance over Monday's prices, pes being quoted at 5 cents and Wans si 12 cents. Loa Angeles cabbage Is cleaning up better at 1 i cents. Green corn declined to 4vff5t cents. Florida tomatoes are firmer, as the Seattle distributors are asking stlffer prices. Those sent here were not sll in the best condition. The San Fran cisco steamer brought up a small upply of vegetables. In which was some cauliflower that was offered at El cents. OATS AKE VKRY SCARCE. iiood Dfnwud From Siia Francisco, but None to Ship. Then is a good demand from Sa n Fran clco for oat;, and this, with the steady local Inquiry and light stocks, has caueedi th price to advance, to $:to a ton on No. 1 white. There 1 practically nothing, however, to ship, as the country Is well cleaned out and some sections ar entirely bare. A considerable quantity of Eastern oata Is In the market, but the demand Is principally for Oregons. Barley rules steady with an available sup ply sufficient to last during the remainder of the season. There is no demand frum Cali fornia, as stocks there are more thsn ample, yt the San Francisco price is too high to caue any shipments to be made thl way. Tnfce hsv market L flow, because of the abundance of green .feed, but prices do n-t rhow any decllns yet. Eamcrn Oregon tim othy Is in very light supply and what is on hand Is held! at 14fll5. No. 1 stock, how- , ever. If any could be obtained, would com mand $19 or $20. CATTLE FROM MONTANA. Train load Will Reach Portland Today and More Will Follow. The livestock markets were rather dull yes terday, but more interest will be shown today, as a tralnload of cattle will arrive from Montana. These cattle are coming in be cause of the scarcity of desirable grades In this section. Two more trains of cattle will arrive from' Montana later, and after that shipments will be made to this market from Northern California points. The sheep market has a weak undertone with Increasing supplies offered. Hogs continue firm at top prices. Nebraska stock i coming forward regularly, about 40 cars leaving that state weekly for Portland and Puget Sound markets. Grata Bags Are High. The price of grain bags has advanced to to 10 cents, and may go higher before the season closes. The supply on the Coast is short, and some fear is1 expressed that there will not be enough to go around. A considerable quantity were destroyed in the San FrancJsco Are. It la too late now to or der more, as it requires fully 80 days' time to get bags here from Calcutta, and dealers are not disposed! to take the risk of ordering for such late delivery with the probaitr of having to carry their surplus high-priced stock over to a low-priced year. The advance In bags since last November has amounted to 3 cents. Chickens Hard to More. More chickens were to be seen on Front street yesterday than has been the case for any day In two months. It la plain that the laying season is over, as1 setting hens com prised the bulk of the receipts. ' Buyers showed but little inclination to take hold, and many of the coops were, therefore, carried over. Dealers held hens at 13 to 14 cents, and Springs at 20 cents. ' Kggs were steady without change in price. Butter moved freely at the former quota tions. Bank Clearings. Bank clearings of the leading cities of the Northwest yesterday were: ' m Clearings.

Ample Supply of Gold Obtained From Abroad Foreign Situa tion Improves. Henry Clews, writing from New Tork on May 12 of the financial situation, says: Liquidation has been very severe and the technical situation considerably improved thereby. A year ago it would have been Im--possible to have made anybody believe that such a depreciation . as has JuM. been experi enced) could take place without precipitating serious trouble, if not actual panic. ,That the market "has withstood these extraordinary shocks without a single failure of importance is remarkable testimony of general financial strength and soundness. Much of the rise this week has been due to short covering. Nevertheless, it is proper to recognize the improved features in the situation. For months past the key to the stock mar ket has been held by the money market. The enormous expansion of loans, out of all pro portion to the increase in banking capital, and the extraordinary creations of new capital either in the form of stocks or bonds, placed a strain upon the money market that was both threatening and at times alarming. For tunately heed has been paid to the? symp toms of overdoing, and the Stock Exchange has already experienced its share of liquida tion or readjustment. When relief was necessary it was obtained from abroad, and the gold thus ordered was made Immediately available for credit purposes through the prompt action of Secretary Shaw. It Is quite evident also that, if : our needs demanded further assistance Trom this quarter, it could be obtained. The European situstion has much improved during the last few weeks. The Moroccan af fair was settled for good; the Russian revolu tion Is progressing on more peaceful lines, and the French Republic has demonstrated to the world its stability and its nt-wer to govern by- vigorous suppression of the threatened May-Day disturbances. Germany for the present at least is not a disturbing element, for the reason that owing to her recent policy she Is Isolated and has lost the fren4shtp of Russia. France and England. Under such isolation German ambition are likely to he restrained, thus making for general peace. All of this is important to the New York stock market, inasmuch as . in case of need we should be more free to borrow In London or Paris than if different conditions prevailed.

The day passed off very quietly, and while most of the bids made were good ones, they were not spirited and very little interest was noticeable among the many buyers, who filled the small spajce and tore the fleeces apart as they passed Judgment upon the clips. The following Is a list of the sellers, buyers and the prices paid in each Instance: E. I Johnson's clip, bought by H. Wattlna. & Co. for 14 cents. . M. E. Edwards' clip, bought by "Whitman.

STOCKS ARE NEGLECTED ONLY FEATURE OF MARKET IS STIFFNESS OF COALERS. Problem of Fall Money Siluatron Is Xot Yet Solved Remittances . to San Francisco. NEW TORK, May 22, So profoundly apa thetic was the trading in the stock market to day that there was little room left for any but negative deductions. That the formation of speculative sentiment awaits an initiative from new events Is the one safe conclusion to Infer. The hesitation In forming conviction on the future of the market must, of course, be based on some uncertainties in '.be outcome of events. The problem of the Fall -money market con tinues to be most considered and the day-today events in Wall street at present offer little assistance in forming (&n opinion. The reopening of the San Francisco banks for business is expected tomorrow, and with banking resumed there it is expected that early light will be thrown on the extent to which the large cash reinforcements sent there for use in the first strain of the banks will have to be retained. There were further remittances to San Francisco through the sub Treaeury tods-y in continuation of yesterday's considerable movement. It Is assumed that these later consignments are due In part to remittances for account of Insurance compan ies in preparation for the payment of claims upon them for fire losses rather than for pure ly banking necessities. The strength of the San Francisco banks and confidence in the position is inferred from the fact that they have not availed themselves of the offer of the Unite States Treasury Department to place on deposit with them $lft.ooo,tM!0 of Government funds to strengthen their position. With their ability to meet claims of de positors promptly demonstrated, a return to New York of some of the cash forwarded- to Wan Francisco is expected. The money outlook abroad seems not en tirely clear either. The London and Paris markets were both lethargic today on pros pects of light money, although the Berlin market was cheerful in the hoje that th German Imperial Bank would reduce its of ficial discount rate tomorrow. Money brok ers reported some diminution In the suply of funds offering on time in this market and rates for the longer period- were firm. The weekly bulletin of crop condition 1s suM by the Weather Buresu, with Its show ing of insufficient moisture in the Winter wheat region of the Southwest was not help ful to stfcks. although the wheat market was inclined to react from Its recent strong advances on immediate reports of showers today. The pries of copper in London made a recovers- from yesterday's sharp break, but without helping the copper group ia this mar ket. The one incident of interest in the market w-as the flrther rise in the high-priced coal ers. Ickawanna added 10 points to its former price, and sold at 550. thus meas urably reducing the requisite distance neces sary to the fulfilment of the speculative pre diction of 1000 for this stock, with which the movement In the group is associated in public estimation. Reports were current, however, of an intention on the part of these companies to divest themselves of ownership ) of coai- mining properties to comply with the tendency of recent Judicial decisions and with the shaping of legislation. This would In- i volve. It was inferred, a distribution of these assets to stockholders. It was pointed out also that the rise in these stocks made an addltonal attraction for convertible bonds of soma of the companies which are now in the market. The stiffness of the coalers served only partly to sustain the market against the drop of prices inevitable In a market where the buying Is torpid. Prices gave way rather generally at the last, and the closing was easy. Bonds were irregular. Total sales, par vtlue. I1.90,000. United States new 4s de clined I4 per cent on call.

SENTIMENT IS BEARISH July Option Loses Three-Quarters of a Cent and May Over Two Cents on Liberal Profit Taking Vesterday. CHICAGO, May 22. The wheat market to day was a "weather market. almost ex clusively. From the opening to the close sentiment was bearish because of the pros pect of more favorable weather for the grow ing crop. The prediction of the eather Bu reau was that rains will fall generally throughout the wheat belt tonight and tomor row. A decline of more than 2 cents in the price of wheat for May delivery was another factor that favored lower prices. The break in the May option was caused by the liberal profit-taking, which was induced by the quite general beletf that the leading supporters in that option had made settlements over night. The market closed easy. July opened a shade ower to a 8'iade higher, at K383c, sold up to 83T4e. and then declined to 2c. The close was c down, at 82T4fc3c. The prospect of wet weather throughout the ' Middle West weakened- the corn market. Several leading longs were free sellers. The market closed .easy. July opened a shade lower to a shade higher, at 48t4ff48',ic. sold off to 4c. and closed 1,ec off. at 47SiC. Trading In oats was active, but the mar ket was weak, because of favorable weather conditions for the growing crop. July opened unchanged to 'Ac higher, at 34a34Vc, sold oft to 83V4C and closed SSHiC lower, at 33tt,g33.c. Provisions were quiet and the -prices were inclined to weaken, more in sympathy wltn grain than from any apparent cause. At the close July pork was off 7VjC, lard was bQ'VjC lower, and ribs were 5c off. The leading futures ranged as follows: WHEAT. ' Open. High. Low.

A fine rain which fell throughout this section of Gilliam County has caused a general feeling of encouragement among farmers. It Is the first good soaking rain that has fallen here since early in April and the wheat was suffering In many fields from drought. In some of the fields wheat had begun to burn. The grain that was suffering most from lack of rain was late-sown Spring wheat, and there was not enough moisture to sprout It. Most of the Fall-sown wheat is quite thin, due to the severe freeze in March, but the rain of yes- terday has greatly Increased prospects for a yield. Rain was general over Gilliam County Changes In Available Supplies. NEW TORK. May 22.
