Interest in the wool trade now center In
the Bhaniko sales, which will bo held on
June G and 6. Between 4.1(00,000 and
6,000,000 pounds will be offered there and as
the Shanlko wool a are clasoed as the choicest
In the ata.te. It la expected that the highest
I' rices cf the season will bo bid there. Iat
year the Shanlko wools brought 22 and 23
cents. Local dealers believe that the price
this year will be about 21 cents.
The tone of the Eastern Oregon market
apparently is easier than It was at the
opening of the season, as the prices paid
show a gradual decline from those of the
first Pendleton sale. A good many clips
have been sold at private salo elnco the sales
timyv at prices under thane first quoted. Trad
ing is also more active In the Ellensburg and
Yakima districts In "Washington where cross
breds are bringing 17 to 18 cent. A little
Valley wool Is alao coming In that was
bought at 20 to 24 cents.
Frank Green, representing J. Korhland
Co.. of Boston and' San Francisco, who came
down from Kastern Oregon yesterday, states
that the market is decidedly weaker than It
was and that grow era are ready sellers now
at the prices offered, having come to the con
clusion that it Is useless to hold for an ad
vance. "Wools In the Western States," he said,
'are bringing from 2 to 5 cents lees than they
did at the close of the season last year, and
the tendency Is a downward one. Many of
the growers thought that the market would
advance this year, just as It did last Spring,
but they overlooked, the fact that there was a
slump In the Fall that irave It a sot-back. In
California, where they have two seasons, the
market opened strong enough in the fall,
but In October broke to plooea. Since then,
all hope of a further advance has been -out
of the question.
"The wools In nearly all parte of the "West
are poorer this year than they were a year
ago. The alternate rains and dry spells made
them heavlr and of shorter staple and dingier
la color. Arizona wools are about tho only
wools that are better than last year's, as
they had an exceptionally good season."
In its weekly review of the Eastern situa
tion, the BoMon Commercial Bulletin of
latest date says:
The general opinion held by Boston mer
chants is that prices oa this market, having
reached their limit, cannot go up any Higher.
Consequently, 74 to 76 centa cannot be paid
for wool in the West that would bring: only
70 cents here. Following- this the majority
of the leading dealers are, according to their
own statements, doing no buying In the ter
ritories at growers exorbitant rates. Further
more, they claim that they will not buy auy
wool until they can "buy it right." By the
latter expression Is meant the purchasing of
wool at prices that would) allow a reasonable
profit to the merchant, not ones that would
mean a euro loss. Tn the "West, It Is thought
by some that the Kastern dealers attitude is
only a "bluff. to bear the primary markets,
but It has been so conslstetnly maintained
that the determination and sincerity are
clearly apparent.
There has also been talk of & "combination,"
to break prices in the territories and some
say that the truth of the re-port was proven
by the concerted refusal on the part of buy
ers to operate. The only "combination" was an
unconscious one to resist excessive prices.
Wool merchants usually "play their game
alone." and this year is no exception to the
general rule.
When values are placed on a suitable basis,
buying will become active, but say the deal
era, "if they are not put within, reach the
wools may be shipped Mast on consignment
or kept." As a matter of fact, a million to a
million and a half pounds have already ben
shipped to Boston and Philadelphia from Wy
oming, in some Instances guarantees touching
22c having been made.
Some merchants who are waiting claim that
they can see a tendency on the part of sev
eral sheepmen to consider wore reasonable
prices. Sales that are being: raado undoubt
edly have been the result of grower and
buyer coming closer together dn their views.
However, most of the sheepmen are holding
out flnnly.
HEAVY RECEIPTS OF CHICKENS.
Better Movement Is Looked for tn the Com
ing Week.
The weekly pries letter of a Front-street
Arm says of the poultry market:
"There has been no improvement in the
poultry market this week. Receipts have been
very heavy and buyers are few, but we look
for the market to be more active the next
few days. Spring chickens are lower while
good hens sell about the same as last week.
Ducks are dragging and we advise not to ship
any small Spring ducks weighing under three
pound."
Eggs were 'slow and unchanged yesterday.
rcelpts In some quarters were light, while
others had plenty.
Conditions in the butter market were ui
changed. Some cf the city creameries that
have not advanced yet announce that they
will go up Monday morning.
OATS NEARLY SOLD OUT.
Supplies In This State Practically Exhausted.
New Crop Barley Firm,
The supply of oats in Oregon is almost
exhausted. Dealers quote No. 1 white at
$31.50, but say that practically no more are
to be had. Good gray milling oats bring; the
same price where any can be found. A few
small lots of gray feed oats are scattered
about, but they are not choice. Eastern oats
are also scarce, aa it costs about $30 to lay
7thera down here, and the demand for them
Is limited. Stiff prices are to be expected
during the remainder of the season, but a
sharp slump can be looked for with the mar
keting of the new crop, if the present crop
conditions last, for everything points to an
unusually heavy yield and of fine quality
in the Valley.
Barley crop prospects are not so bright,
however, la the Eastern counties, barley has
been benefited by the reccat rains, but more
moisture Is needed in some sections. This has
led to a .firmer market for new crop bar
ley, and between 200O and 3000 tons have
been sold at $21, against a usual price of
$13 at this time for contracts. The market
for spot barley is somewhat more active, be
ing helped by the stiff price and scarcity of
oats. Good whole barley la quotable at $24.50
In the local market. All the- brewing barley
that is left is in the hands of brewers.
First-class Valley timothy hay is scarce, all
the lots left In the state having been re
peatedly picked over. Tbe demand holds
good and .prices are a shade firmer. Crop
prospects for all kinds of hay in the Valley
are excellent, except for clover, which was
hurt somewhat by the late rains.
HOPS BOUGHT AT 104 CENTS.
Phil Nel8 Secures a Lot lora s Grower at
That Price Crop Conditions.
Phil Neis, who was at the Belvedere yes-'
terday,' reported) tho purchase of a TO-bale lot
of strictly choice hops from a grower at 10
cents. This is the only transaction, in last
year's bops that has come to light this week.
It caused evma surprise in the trade, as It
was not known that any goods could be se
cured from growers at tuch a price. A few
dealers report having Eastern orders, but at
prices below what holders consider the mar
ket to be.
Mr. Nets says the yards around Woodburn
axe uneven In appearance. 6ome are look
ing: well, whUe others are poor. Ho believes
the state at large will raise 140,000 bales this
year, but doubts whether that quantity can
be picked. He points out that great difficulty
was experienced) last year in harvesting the
crop then g-rown, and this year, in addition
to a much larger yield, labor la likely to be
career.
A. J. Ray returned fro ma trip up the West
Side and found all tho yards In that section
doing exceedingly well. He says he never saw
the vines looking' better In all his experi
ence In the hop business. Conrad Krebs re
ports tltat the Krebs yards at Independence
and Brooks will this year produce crops larger
than ever before.
The Salem Statesman says of conditions in
Marion County:
The prospects for an immense hop crop con
tinue excellent in all the country around Salem;
in fact, it was never better. A prominent
grower who has large yards in tho north
eastern part of the county toldj a Statesman
representative yesterday that Oregon would
harvest the heaviest crop of hops this year
that was ever known in Its history. Of course,
that prognostication is based upon present
appearances, which surely warrant that hope.
The good appearance is not confined to epots
this year; it is universal in all the yards
that are receiving ordinary care,
LOCAL BERRIES PLENTIFUL.
Hood Klver Has Resumed Shipments to
Kastern Points.
As was expected, arrivals of Hood River
berries ceased yesterday, only four crates
reaching Front street. These brought $2.50.
Shipments from that point to the East have
been resumed by way of Portland and Ta
coma. There were plenty of local berries on
hand, however, though most of thorn were
sold on tho public market or direct to re
tailers. A few boxes of Bui bank plums, the
first of the season, were received from Cali
fornia, and eold for $2.50. Apricots were
more plentiful and dropped to $2. The last
car of navel oranges of the season arrived.
Ripe bananas were In &mall supply. Cherries
were abundant and cheaper at $1(31.25.
There was a large supply of peas and beans
on the street, but the demand was good and
prices held steady.
Meat Receipts Clean I'p.
Receipts of dressed meats of all kinds
have been large this week, but dealers have
succeeded In moving them. If veal does not
come in too heavily in the next few days,
aa advance Is probable. There Is no de
mand for old or heavy pork, but first-class
stock weighing 75 to 150 pounds sells read
ily. Mutton is slow.

a few .light rallies the tendency of prkes
vsa downward) throughout the day. The

ing the day. a large amount of long wheat

also considerable selling for short account.

ttc higher, at 49c to 4ltlSi49i4c. sold off to
48c, and advanced to 41c. July closed ftc

market, and offset the bearish Influence of
the decline In wheat and tho favorable weath
er for the growing crop. Pit traders sold
freely early In the day, but later they became

ALL BUSINESS IINES.
Reports of I'all Business Continue
Exceptionally Good Collec
lections Improving.
NEW YORK, June 1. Bradstreet's tomor
row will say:
Rather- quiet retail conditions have result
ed from widespread rainy weather, the holi
day and the natural seasonable quietness
which supervenes at this period. Taken as
a whole, the month of May was a very ac
tive one In retail and wholesale trade and
Industry, in which the records of preceding
years were surpassed. Fall trade reports con
tinue exceptionally good, though a compara
tively quiet period may be looked for pending
a clearer view of crop conditions. Railway
returns are still In a high degree favorable.
Business failures in the United States for
the week ending May 81 number only 127,
against 170 last week, and 154 In the like
week of 1905. In Canada failures for the
week were 19, as against 13 last week, and 16
In this week a year ago.
Wheat, Including flour, exports from the
United States and Canada for the week end
ing May 31, are 2,526,789 bushels, against
1.309,222 this week last year. From July 1
to date the exports are 125,326,006 bushels,
against BS,536,407 last year.

SMALLEST OF YEAR
Trading in the Stock Market
Is Extremely Dull.
DRIFT IS VERY NARROW
Recovery In Prices In Last Half of
Day on Publication of Prelim
inary Ktiniates of Week's
Currency Movement.
NEW YORK, June 1. The market for
stocks today was hardly more than nominal,
the amount of trading falling to the year's
low record. The movement of prices equally
failed of significance. The drift was ex
ceedingly narrow. luring the nrt half of
the day the balance rather Inclined towards
the side of depression and In tho latter half
there was some recovery. Moro and more In
difference was shown to the movements of
special stocks, those picked for professional
operations being easily recognized as favorite
mediums for market operations by conspic
uous speculative leaders.
The prominent Instances today were Louis
ville & Nashville and Colorado Fuel. The
nominal motive for the buying In the first
case was tho unauthentlcated rumors of an
Intended increase In the dividend rate at an
early period. In the other stock, the buying
was alleged to be for account of J. P. Mor
gan & Co.. and the purpose to be the secur
ing of control of the property for transfer to
the United State Steel Corporation. These
assertions have figured in many previous
movements of the stocks named, and nothing
occurred to give added credit to them.
The later improvement In the market fol
lowed the publication of the preliminary esti
mates of the week's currency movement. The
sub-Treasury figures are official and show an
excess of $3,607,000 of dletoursemento over
receipts. This does not Include tho J1.600,
O00 to be deposited with the National City
Bank against gold to be lnvported, which
was announced yesterday and which will fig
ure for one day in the bank statement aver
ages. It does include, however, the transfers
by telegraph from San Francisco, with the
exception of the amount transferred today,
which amounted to J9O0.0O0. The express
movement with the Interior has been In fa
vor of New York to an amount variously esti
mated at S600.000 to 12.000.000. The banks
appear to have gained for the week, therefore,
to the extent of between $8,000,000 and 110.
000 000 The loan item Is subject to unusu
ally heaVy operations. No one attempts to
forecast the net effect on the week's aver
ages, but a considerable expansion of loans is
generally expected.
The abrogation ot the privilege of receiv
ing Government dei-oslts on notice of an In
tention to import gold lowers the price at
which exchange mut be bought against the
gold engagement in order to yield a profit on
The operations. The price of "change to
day eEowed. no tendency to adjust """ JT
warda uncovering the new margin of profit
Tnd consequently there was no further gold
movement talked of. Bate, are
the profitable level of Imports, however, an
easlerTone of London discount having marked
th turn of the month.
The resumption of the coal road, inquiry
by the Interstate Commerce Commission had
sJms repressive effect on trading. The late
