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.

IS I'l BETTER CONDITION
STOCK MARKET AIDED BY SE
VERE LIQUIDATION.
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.

PENDLETON. Or.. May 22. (Special.)
About 20 centa per pound was the prlc.
paid for wool today at th. big aea hld In
this city. While the pric is a rood one. It
ia not quite so good as many expected, and
therefore there are tome disappointed growers.
The sale began at 9 o'clock and adjourned
at 4:30 in the afternoon. 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

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.

DROPS WITH RAIN
Weather Market in Wheat at
Chicago.
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:
