MEATS Veal scarce and firmer.
The demand for Chicago canned meats has
practically ceased in this market. The dis
closures of conditions In the big packing
house, made by the special committee sent
lo Chicago by the President, has turned the
buying public against such products. No
one would be surprised If the trade in East
ern canned- meats should come to an abso
lute stop for the remainder of the season.
Retailers already notice the effect of the
agitation agatnet unclean packing houses,
though the movement in canned meats Is
never very brisk until Summer weather
comes. Very little canned beef Is marketed
here. The inquiry has principally been for
lunch tongue, potted ham, canned poultry and
such articles as are known In the trade as
lunch goods." Hardly any of these have
been called for In the past two days, and
remark dropped by customers lead the mer
chants to infer that they will not be wanted
for some time to come.
Wholesale grocers see no change In their
country orders yet, but they look for a sharp
slump in the demand for Eastern packing
house goods as scon as the investigators' re
port has been fully circulated in the Interior.
During the agitation against unsound meats
at the time of the Spanish War. the move
ment In such articles fell off sharply, and it
was months before the normal demand was
restored. Owing to the nature of the Nclll
Reynolds repon. It Is likely that the popular
prejudice against Chicago canned meats of
all kinds will last for a long time.
It is more than likely that the revelations
mailo in the Government report will help the
trade In canned meals of local manufacture,
as the conditions that disgraced Chicago do
r.ot exist here. In the big plant of the Union
Meat Company, cleanliness Is the most prom
inent feature, and retailers are of the opinion
that llo goods will not suffer because of the
sentiment created by the Government report.
A large paxt of the stock of canned meals of
the Union Meat Compaay was aold to the
relief committees Just after the San Fran
cisco Are. and letters since received from that
city praised the -quallly of the goods highly.
CONDITION OF HOP CROPS.
Pant Rosa Dealer Say California Will Pro
duce 100,000 Bales.
In a letter from Santa Rosa the statement
is made that Donovan and Jacks, two lead
ing dealers of that city, estimate the com
ing hop crop of California at 100,000 bales,
placing the yield of Sonoma County at 40,
CCO bales. Last year California produced
about 70.000 bales. No matter what the crop
Is this year, it will probably be an easy
matter to pick it. with the large number of
Idle men at San Francisco.
All reports from the . Oregon hopyards are
favorable for a large crop. It Is said that the
hard rains and wind of the last few days
did no damage.
Conditions In New Tork are thus reported
by late papers of that state:
In spite of the cold snap of last week and
the continued cold weather since, most of
the hopyards are looking well and are doing
well. There are weak and not promising
yards, lo be sure, but not more than usual
Wateivlllc Times.
Reports as to the coming on of the
vine are various. The cold snap of a few
days ago undoubtedly had a tendency to
give them a setback. A large number of
S inter-killed hills are reported. Cooperstown
Journal.
Hopgrowera have been busy this week hav
ing their hops tied. Many vines are one
third way up the poles and are of a good
rank color. Oneida Post.
Under date of London, May 16, Cattley
Uridley & Co. report:
There has been somewhat better demand
during the past week for English and Pa
ciHc Coast hops, but stocks are so limited
that little general trade can be done. The
backward condition of the plantations in Eng
land Is not causing any anxiety, as with
normal weather during the next few months
there Is good prospect of a fair average crop
In England. The Pacific Coast market has
again advanced, and cables report that stocks
remaining on the open market are extreme
ly limited. Export demand for new business
has practically ceased, prices being now far
above English parity.
J. H. Meredith & Co.. of Worcester, re
ported on May 14. as follows:
Plantation growth is backward, but the
young shoots have made better progress dur
ing the last few days and tying will be com
menced generally this week. Trade remains
very quiet and no hops passed the publlo
scales last week, the small orders for im
mediate consumption being executed out of
merchants stocks. Values remain unaltered.
The Kentish Observer of May IT prints an
Interesting letter from Adolf Heller, of Prag,
with some of the statements of which
Oregon growers will not agree. The letter
follows:
There was a very good demand for all
kinds of luuJ hops on the Saaz market dur
ing the last fortnight, and prices have re
cently recovered 4 to 6 kronen. Stocks have
become very limited and altogether about
4ooo cwt. of last year's growth might be
available for sale. It is surprising how eas
ily the heavy hop crop of the Saaz and the
other Bohemian district has been disposed
of. Saaz hoSs kept not only their position,
but have gained more and more ground, es
pecially In the United States, where thou
sands of bales went. This is an unquestion
able proof of their superiority, as the Amer
ican brewers are very practical people and
know what they are about. In fact, the Saaz
district was the only district where, in
spite of the low prices of last season, the
acreage under hop cultivation was still en
larged, whereas In the other districts of Aus
tria and those of Germany more or less a
decrease has taken place. It is no doubt
that the Ssaz hops will dominate In all Con
tinental and American breweries in the near
future. The hop plant has -wintered
well, and under the Influence of very genial
weather growa so fast now that tyers cannot
keep pace.
LOCAL BERRIES CHEAPER.
Cantaloupes From Brawler Bring a High
Price.
There were no Hood River berries on sale
yesterday, but plenty of local fruit, which
sold all tha way from 11 to 2, according to

rived, and they were generally In poor or
der, but a good supply was carried over
from the preceding day. Advices from New
Tork said that on June 1 Vaeaville Royal
Annes had sold there at auction at JGSO.STVj
per box. and Bassfords, a new variety, at
S.50.
One crate of cantaloupes came in yester
day from Brawley, Cal., and sold for 6. A
wire from Coachella. said the weather was
unfavorable for ripening cants, and ship
ments would be delayed. The next arrivals
from that section are due Saturday. Three
or four cars of bananas are expected tonight.
A car of Sacramento cabbage is due Fri
day. Los Angeles cabbage is about cleaned
up on the street. Red onions are selling well
and the last car that arrived is nearly gone.
Wax and green beans were scarce yesterday,
and were higher.
Chickens in Demand.
A good inquiry was reported for chick
ens, receipts of which have been light this
week. Young ducks also sold well, but old
ducks dragged for lack of demand.
The egg market was active and only mod
erately well supplied.
Creamery butter holds at the former prices.
City creameries report a fair movement. Store
butter is In active shipping demand.
Veal Market l-'irm.
The market for veal rules firmer, as re
ceipts this week have been very light. Sup
plies in the country, however, are believed
to be large. Arrivals of veal have been
heavy and except on block stock, the tone
of the market is easy. Mutton continues
w-eak and slow.

EXPECT STEADY MARKET
NO PROLONGED MOVEMENT IX
STOCK PK1CES LOOKED FOR.
Immediate Outlook Is for a Moderate
Degree of Activity, Accord
ing to Henry Clews.
Writing from New York on June 2 of
conditions In Wall street. Henry Clews says:
The Immediate outlook .of the market Is
for moderate activity. With basic conditions
still sound the various cliques are sure to
find favorable opportunities for brief manipula
tion. No prolonged movement, however, up
wards or downwards, need be expected while
present conditions last. Although the Invest
ment demand for the time being has been
checked" by high prices and speculation, still
it Is sure to revive later on if unfavorable
conditions do not intervene. The industrial
dividends on June 1 aggregated nearly $22,
ooo.ooo or $2,000,000 more than a year ago.
So long as business continues active funds
will accumulate for investment, and whatever
Is held back now must come Into the mar
ket later on. A period of rest will serve to
check speculative excesses and permit a grad
ual and heatrhy read-juMment. Hhould prices
recede somewhat to a lower basi no 'uneasi
ness need be felt. On the contrary, on pro
nounced breaks good stocks will be a pur
chase should present conditions last. In case
of favorable ennp reports we may see still
higher prices. What the market moot needs
is the building up of our bank rescrvea and
strengthening of our credit system. The
strain here has been prolonged' and its read
justment phould command the attention of our
leading bankers. It 4s all very well to de
pend upon foreign assistance, but e should
look to It that our house is In good order at
home. Rank reserves ought to show some im
provement, owing to gold Imports andi the
large arrivals of currency from San Fran
cisco sent here for better safe-keeping and
employment until needed.

NEITHER SIDE SATISFIED
Growers Disappointed Because Bet
ter Prices Are Not Realized Buy

8HAN1KO, Or., June . (Special.) Accord

Mills; Joseph Wing, for Dewey, Gould Co.,
and Alexander Livingston.
The wools sold today do not equal either
In condition or staple the clips from the same
bands in lo5. The difference In quality Is
said to be due to overstocked mountain ranges
and the long dry spell last Summer and
Fall.
The principal sellers were: Houser & Kor
len, Thomas Brogan, W. R. Maskall, Frank
Gobel, Fred Bannon, Bannon Brothers and
J. D. McAndle.

pected that the large clips of the Baldwin
Sheep & Land Company, the Prineville Land
& Livestock Company, R. R. Heaton, Morrow
& Keenan and others, . aggregating 500,000
pounds, will be offered.
Upon the whole, the sales have not been
satisfactory to either buyer or seller. The
buyers are disappointed because they do not
And the John Day and Antelope wools, which
have made this section famous, as choice as
usual. The growers are 'disappointed because
their hopes of realizing last year's prices or
better are not materializing.
That there is no combination among the
buyers to bear prices, as reported, is evi
denced by the fact that nearly every lot of
wool ofTcred brought forth a bid from five
to ten of the buyers In attendance, varying
according to their judgment of the value
from c to 3c per hundred.
June 19 and 2, the next selling days for
Shanfko, it is expected there will be fuliy
1.50O.000 pounds offered. Many of the grow
ers are still shearing and much of the shorn
wool is being held back at the ranches on
account of the recent heavy rains..
SELLING FOR PROFITS
REALIZING CONSPICUOUS IX
STOCK MARKET.
Decided Shrinkage in (lie Volume of
Trading Easier Tend
- ency of Money.
NEW YORK. June 6 The realising of
profits was more conspicuous In today's stock
market than the new buying of stocks, but
the speculative party, which is conducting the
largest share of the oneiatlons In the pres
ent market, did not relinquish the efforts to
hold prices against this realization by sup
port of special stocks Most of the support
ing effort centered upon St. Paul, and was
carried over later Into t'niun Pacific. Out
side of these, there was a miscellaneous list
of specialties which rose from time to time
and supplemented only slightly the sustain
ing effect of the leaders.
There was a decided shrinkage In the vol
ume of the market. Monday's buying was
professedly based to pome extent on an as
sumption that an early adjournment of Con
gress was probable. The selling today, which
was based on professed disappointment over
a revised prospect of an extended session of
the law-making body, probably came from
the same professional sources.
The easy tendency of the local market -for
money continued and extended to rates for
time loans carrying over the end of the year.
The amount of business done was reported to
be small. Another phase of the money out
look was seen in' the rising course- of foreign
exchange with the increase In local money
supplies. Some of the demand tsr remit
tance abroad was reported to be to provide
for payment of maturing finance bills on
which great sums have been borrowed abroad.
Banking authorities consider It an open
question still whether the gold Imported
against the sudden emergency of the San
Francisco calamity and which was borrowed
in effect is not destined to flow back to Eu
rope with the relaxation of money rates
here, rather than be retained here against t!e
Fall money requirements. The admitted de
lay In the completion of the Pennsylvania bond
issue in Paris adds to the weight of this con
sideration, as the placing of these bonds is
relied upon to effect a funding of a large part
of the floating indebtedness of this market to
Paris. Much stress was laid upon the pos
sible effect upon the merchandise trade bal
ance of a falling off in exports of packing
house products, which is threatened as a con
sequence of the packing-house abuses.
With the growing ease of money here,
there was noticed a movement In Interior ex
changes against New York, the rate at Chi-'
cago today falling to a discount. A possible
diversion of ' the return flow of funds from
San Francisco to other points is Indicated by
this London discounts were inclined to yield
today, but Berlin hardened and Paris sold
securities freely in London. The mixed tone
of the market contnlued up to the closing.
