OUTLOOK IS -BETTER
Potato Market This Year
Should Be Improved.
BIG CROP IN OREGON
California, However, Will Not Do So
Well, and the Yield of Colo
rado May Turn Out to
Be a Short One.

It Is tno early yet to attempt to forecast
the coming potato market with any degree
of accuracy, but the promise ie held out that
conditions will be rather better than they were
last season. Oregon is sure to have a bumper
crop of potatoes, as the weather conditions
could not have been better for a big yield,
and It Is also hoped that the quality of the
crop, on the whole, will ehow improvement.
What will help the market, however, will be
the shortage of the California crop and the
possibility aleo that Colorado will not turn
out her uual quantity. No definite informa
tion has been received yet from the latter
state, but conditions In the surrounding states
are not good for a large yield.
"The early trop in California is going to
be short," said McKlnley Mttehell yesterday,
"and the late crop will also be srpaller than
usual. If the crop of Colorado should also
be short, Arizona and Tex a will want good
shipments from here, and these, with the
California demand, should cause a large ship
ping movement. Oregon is going to have a
very large crop, as much new acreage has
been set out and the weather has been better
for potatoes than for anything else. There Is
nothing doing In the market now, except the
shipment of a few cars to California for seed,
and they bring low prices. There may be a
little Alaska business in the coming month.'
While reports aa to the acreage and condi
tions in Colorado are wanting, It Is known to
certainty that things are not as well as
they should be with the crop in other potato
states in that part of the country. From Texas
northward the crop has been deteriorating
because of lack of moisture. In some of the
states there will be almost a failure, while
in others only a- portion of a crop can be
harvested. In the Kaw Valley, growers look
for only about 5o per cent of a good average
crop. Laet year that district shipped out
JSoO cars while estimates of this year's move
ment ran from JMH to 1200 cars.
CERKAL MARKETS QUIET.
Wheat Would Move Southward If Steamers
Could Be Secured.
All the cereal markets are quiet and in the
wheat trade the dullness is especially pro
nounced. Several dealers report Inquiry from
California, but the lack of transportation fa
cilities, due to the strike, prevents shipments
being made. There does . not appear to be
any demand from other quarters, and prices
are therefore nominal.
Advices from Morrow County are that the
prfcpects re good for a big wheat crop.
Even in sections where the grain was really
burned the prospects are brightening day
by day, since abundance of moisture nan
fallen, and it is now believed that such grain
will make a fair crop. In the Heppner coun
try the wheat has never suffered for lack of
moisture, and the farmers expect a bumper
yield.
The Merchants' Exchange reports the Amer
ican visible wheat supply as follows:

TWO LOTS OF HOPS SOLD.
Kavanuugu, of Turner, Sells to Salem Firm
at 6 and 9Va Cents.
A good many inquiries have been re
ceived for hops, and if holders were disposed
to accept the prices named, a rattling busi
ness could be done. However, the people
who are carrying hops, as a rule, have their
ideas far above the 0 and OH -cent offers
and seem determined to wait until the buy
era want the goods sufficiently to bid up for
them. But now and then a man gets tired
of hanging on when he cannot aee any hope
in sight and lets go. Such was evidently the
case yesterday when Lachmund &. Plncus.
of Salem, bought the two Kavanaugh lots
at Turner. There were 50 bales of olds and
100 bales of 1003s in the deal. The terms
were not known positively, but It was be
lieved by dealers that the lti(Ms brought 6
cents and the 1906s OH cents.
Word was brought down from Polk County
that the heavy winds of last week did con
siderable damage in the yards by whipping
off the tender tops of the vines. It Is likely
that with -favorable weather this week. Na
ture will repair the losses,
SALE OF VALLEY WOOL.
Large Lot at McMiunviUe Brings 23 Cents.
Sales in Idaho.
The largest single lot of wool offered in
the Valley this season was sold at McMinn--yille
to Theo. Bernheim & Co., of this city,
at 23 H cents. The lot comprised about
70,000 pounds. Not much activity Is reported
In other parts of the Valley. A considerable
amount of trading at private sale Is being
done in Eastern Oregon.
At the wool sale held at Halley, Idaho,
225,000 pounds were sold at 10 to 224
cents, but 500,000 pounds were withdrawn,
as the growers were not satisfied with the
bids on their clips, some of which were as
high as 20 cents. John Sklllarn sold 150,
000 pounds to M. Harris for 224 cents. Mr.
Van Sicklln sold 43,000 pounds to Frank
Johnson for 19 cents. Mr. Chadwlck sold
30,000 pounds to Harris for 22 cents.
FIrtft Pears of the Season.
The first box of pears of the season ar
rived from California by express yesterday.
Cherry plums also made their appeaiance
and were quoted at 75 cents. Clymans
were scarce at $1. Peaches and apri
cots were plentiful and sold ' well. Can
taloupes were more abundant and lower at
1.50 and moved more freely. Strawberries
are about out of market, so far as Front
Btreet is concerned, but plenty are still
offered at the Italian market. The car of
Mississippi tomatoes that arrived Saturday
night was unloaded and offerings yesterday
were at $2;25. Green truck was In fair sup
ply and unchanged.
Eastern Eggs on Sale.
The car of Eastern eggs that arrived Sat
urday was put on sale yesterday morning.
Local receipts were only fair. The demand
was active and prices held steady.
There Is some uncertainty as to how this
week's poultry market will come out. Buy
ing was so liberal last week that It is feared
some of the large retailers will hold h.ck,
so if receipts are heavy it may be difficult
to maintain the recent advance.
There are no new developments in the
butter or cheese markets.
Sharp Decline in Package Coffee.
A sharp drop of $1.30 a case in Lion cof
fee was announced yesterday. Up to the
close of business hours the Arbuckle people
had not met the cut. Package coffees for
several months .have been above a parity
witi bulk goods, so a scaling down of prices
was expected.

Sheep Bring Wealth to Morrow County.
The shipments of sheep from the Heppner
yards during the past six weeks total 84.657,
and of thece 76.657 were eold and ehtpped to
Montana, Wyoming and Idaho for Summer
range, saya the Heppner Times. Besides the
above Frank Farnsworth shipped 4000 and will
ship 4000 more to the Okanogan country,
Washington, for Summer range.
The exact number of heep that has been
dipped is 86,827. This includes 2170 sheep
of George French, which were not shipped.
Following te the number of sheep ehlpped by
each buyer: M. Murray .7750, W. W.
Stabler 5165. Rea Bros. 20.000, C. W. Brown
9600, F. C. Oxman 13,142, J. Wr. Stephens
11.500, J. W. Blake 75oO.
A conservative estimate of the price at
which theve sheep sold is placed at $2.75 a
head all around, making a total of $210,
802.75 as a result of one reason's sales from
the ranges of Morrow county. Add to this
the sale of wool from the number of sheep
shipped 84,657 placing the clip of 10
pounds average to the aheep, and the average
price at 20 cents, we have $380,116.75 as a
grand total. This, however, does not include
the wool sales from the 200.000 sheep remain
ing in the hands of the growers. Besides this,
too, the growers have the value of their
Spring lamb crop to add to their aeeets.

Prune Crop, Though Big,
Should be Easily Marketed.
CONDITIONS NEAR SALEM
Willamette Valley Association Pool
Has Already Been Sold.
Growers Are Not Willing to
Make Consignments.
SALEM. Or., June 18. (Special.) From
present Indications the Northwest States
Oregon, Washington, Idaho and Montana
will this year produce a bumper prune crop,
equalling and probably slightly surpassing the
crop of 1003. Here in Oregon, where very
few new orchards are coming into bearing, it
is likely that the crop will not exceed that of
two years ago, but in Idaho and Montana a
greater yield is expected. The crop Is esti
mated at from 35.0OO.000 to 4u,0O0,0OO pounds,
the latter estimates being made by buyers
whose opinions may perhaps be influenced a
little by their desire to induce the growers
to make contracts for sale or consignment. A
yield of 35.000,000 pounds will be more than
double the crop of last year, when the quan
tity of prunes put on the market In the
Northwest was about 15,000.000 pounds. The
crop last year was estimated at one-third of
a full crop, but the returns show a larger
crop than was estimated.
Here in this section of the Willamette Val
ley the outlook for a big crop could not be
better. In some orchard the prospects are too
promising, for the load of fruit is so heavy
upon the trees that weak branches are break
ing off, with the prunes not more than half
grown. The. long continued wet weather has
caused the prunes to make a good growth, and
when a heavy shower loads the foliage with
water weak limbs cannot stand the strain.
It Is estimated that In the Salem district
nearly one-half of the prune crop has al
ready been sold, either by the growers to In
dependent dealers or by members of the Wil
lamette Valley Prune Association through
that organization to Eastern houses. The
association pool this year amounts to about
1,600,000 pounds, and all of this has been
sold.
Eastern dealers have been paying a basis
price of 2Vic to 2c, which means about a
2-cent basis price to the growers. Some grow
ers have sold at lss than a 2-cent basis. In
anticipation of a big crop, many growers have
been ready to sell in adavnee, lest the large
supply bring a repetition of the slow market
of 1003. Some efforts have been made to se
cure consignments In this vicinity, but . It
is not believed that the efforts were success
ful. Growers have memories too lasting to
engage very extensively In the consignment
of fruit.
Manager H. S. Gile, of the Willamette Val
ley Prune Association, says nhat while It is
true that there will be a big crop thle year,
he Bees no reason to believe that prices will
go any lower than they are now. Selling has
been at a low figure because of the good crop
condition. California also has a good crop.
But neither In California nor In the North
west Is there a carry-over crop. Here in. Sa
lem the Association has had difficulty to get
even a 10-pound box for its customers. The
short crops of the last two years have resulted
in a clearing up of the market, and the crop
of 190tt will find a demand from every part ot
the country. Mr. Gile says that the dried
apple market is also nearly bare, canned fruit
Is high, and the apricot crop is a failure, and
the peath crop short. While he does not ex
pect these conditons to bring big prices for
prunes, he does think that the conditions war
rant the belief that prices are as low as they
will be.
DECLINE IS ARRESTED
MANY LEADING STOCKS MAKE
SHOAV OF STRENGTH.
Pennsylvania Is an Exception and
AVeakens Whole Market in Lat
ter Part of Day.
NEW YCJRK. Jun 18. Something wu ef
fected today towards arresting the declining
tendency of Drlces of .locks which wa
steadily gaining force up to the close of last
week. The market turned downward toward
the last, however, and closed )weak. With
the early check to the fall there remained
some uncovered short contracts to be covered,
and this induced some rally In prices The
strength of the market from this cause wu
restricted to a few of the stocks which have
been the favorites in the speculation. The
demand became exceedingly languid when
rally had made any headway and the tone
continued hesitating and uncertain. The list,
as a whole.- was not affected at any time by
the recovery. There were some conspicuous
laggards and at other points positive weakness
which served (o Jceep the market unsettled
and not fully responsive to the rallying ten
dency. Pennsylvania was a notable example
of the persistent depression, while a few
active speculative leaders were advancing.
A good effect was produced on sentiment,
too, by the more definite character of the
assertions that the Pennsylvania bond flotation
in Paris had been completed. aJthough no
formal official notice on the subject waa
forthcoming during the mock exchange ses
sion. The successive delays in the comple
tion of this transaction - were an influence In
the weakness of stocks last week. The carry
ing through of the operation I, considered to
have an important bearing on the interna
tional exchange situation by the Increase In
the credits available to this market for the
meeting of maturing obligation, on finance
bills. Paris financial markets were reported
to be in a more cheerful temper today over
the Russian outlook, although news of events
in that country offered no clear explanation
of this reported bettsr feeling. Sterling ex
change here was marked down In response
to London.
The local money market was not much
changed In tone, except that there was some
relaxation In call loan rates from the stiff
ness caused by last week's large dividend
requirements. The time money market, how
ever, was strong, and rates were appreciably
higheT. Seven and eight months' money was
reported in active demand, and the supply
was scarce, business being vdone at 514 per
cent and above. The rate demanded for six
months' loans also was 5 per cent.
Stocks were benefited by the breaking of
the drouth In Kansas and Nebraska and the
effect was Judged to be important by the
response of the grain markets, which broke
sharply. Railroad traffic officials In their
weekly discussion were more Inclined to ad
mit some damage to wheat In the Southwest
than they have been heretofore, but it was
asserted that the damage had not been large
enough to shake confidence In general busi
ness. A slight falling off In the general vol
ume of traffic on the trunk line railroads
was also admitted. Another violent reaction
in the price of copper In London was a feat
ure of the day's news, but did not prevent
Amalgamated Copper from sharing In the
day's show of strength. The pressure of
liquidation in Pennsylvania Increased greatly
In the latter part of the day and affected the
whole market In sympathy. The gains were
very generally wiped out in consequence, and
the closing was weak.
Bonds were heavy. Total sales, par value,
$1,720,000. United States 3s coupon Increased
per cent on call.

Heavy Profit Taking tn the Chicago
Pit When Trading Begins For
eign News Was of a
Bullish Character.
CHICAGO. June 18. The wheat market
was entirely a "weather map" affair, and
practically no attention was paid to foreign
news, which was of bullish character. The
weather bureau reports general rains In Kan
sas, Nebraska and ttie Northwest, ' with
showers In Missouri. Oklahoma and the Ohio
River Valley. The news of the break In the
drouth conditions In Kansas and Nebraska
caused heavy profit-taking when trading be
gan and quotations were at a sharp decline,
notwithstanding the firm tone of the Liver
pool market. After the first half hour a
steadier tone developed. At times the mar
ket seemed to get fairly good support, which
resulted in several moderate rallies. Weekly
statistics were favorable to the bulls. The
market closed fairly steady. July opened H.
c lower, at 82J83c. sold off to 82?c.
and then advanced to 83 c. - The close was
off 6Vtc, at 82'46S3c.
There was a rush to sell at the start in
the corn pit by longs, and there was also
considerable "stop loss" selling by commis
sion houses. The cause of the selling was
the break of the drouth, which had existed
throughout a large section of the Middle
West. The market was weak all day. July
closed lHo lower, at 62?c.
Prices In oats showed wide fluctuations at
the opening, owing to a general desire on
the part of the longs to secure profits. As a
result of this heavy selling pressure, open
ing quotations were at sharp declines. July
opened lV42o lower, at 39S41c sold at
41o and closed lKlKc off. at 40H'S40VSc.
Provisions were easier in sympathy with
the break in grain prices. Trading was quiet.
At the close pork was off 5c. lard was down

European Crop Conditions.
WASHINGTON, June 18. The European
crop situation Is told in the following June
summary of conditions abroad issued by the
Department of Agriculture:
"Unseasonably cold, gloomy weather pre
vailed In Northwestern Europe, especially In
England and France, throughout the greater
part of May. There nave also been brief
spells of remarkably low temperatures In
parts of Italy and Spain. In Eastern Eu
rope, on the contrary, notably in the great
gralnproducing provinces of Russia, the
month has been exceptionally Springlike. In
Northwestern Europe the growing crops, al
ready backward from the adverse weather
conditions of March and April, have not made
the progress desired. Their development,
however, though it has been retarded) by the
DROUTH
BROKEN
lack of sunshine and warmth, has had the
benefit of abundant and general rainfall.
A month of seasonable weather, lt is be
lieved, would render conditions satisfactory.
In Southern and Central Europe there is
little In the ' agricultural situation Nthat dif
fers from average years of good promise. In
Eastern Europe, excepting local complaints
of drouth, crop prospects are unusually fine."
