WOOL Good movement In Valley.
HOPS Bumper crop promised In

FRUIT Two cars o orchard fruit
coming from California,
VEGETABLES Tomatoes clean up
well.
KGGS Future of market Is un
certain. POULTRY Receipts large, but
clean up.
SARDINES Short pack in France
and Maine.
Valley wool Is selling more freely. Buyers
have reduced their bids to 23 'a cents for
average grades, but growers, ftS a ruie( are
satisfied with the price and accepting offers
as faat as made. A few small lots of tine
wool have been bought at 24 cents. In
K a at em Oregon a fairly active movement is
reported at the prices set by the sealed bid
sales, and Eastern Washington wools are also
moving readily.
The clip of Yakima County has nearly all
changed hands, of a total of almost 1,000,000
pounds produced, only about 50.001) pounds
remaining unsold. The Yakima growers en
tered the market early and sold at good
prices, the average obtained being 18 cents. As
they shear late in Kittitas, very little of the
clip of that county, which is estimated at
1,000,000 poundti, has been sold yet.
In Idaho, the wool market Is active only In
epotti, owing to the stand taken by a good
many of the growers, who seem to bo under
the impression that all the buyers are com
bined against them. Shearing 19 In progress
in Montana, but the Eastern operators are
not doing any buying. Growers, as a rule,
feel that their clips are worth 2r27c. The
buyers do not. In Wyoming, heavy rains
have stopped activity, although shearing la
said to be still going on. The -clip of the
state, however, is now well bought up.
With a good part of the Western ' clip
bought up Eastern merchant are now figur
ing on the selling end of the market and
calculating their chances of coming out with
r proljt. The manufacturers hold the key to
tne situation in that respect and their policy
has not yet been divulged. It Is true they are
now trying to bear the Boston market by
holding off, but what they will do when they
find It necessary to fill their requirement
will be another question. The couree of the
coming London auctions may have consider
able bearing on the price question.
SARDINES WILL BE HIGHER.
Short Pack on the French and Maine
Coasts.
Sardines are the latent addition to the ranks
of high-priced commodities. Jobbers have
been notified that, French sardines will next
year sell at from $1 to $1.50 above the price
of spot goods. It Is the Spring catch of
sardines, like that of salmon, that makea th
market, as the Spring catch la always su
perior to the Fall catch. A short run of aar
dlnos in the French flsherlra Is responsible
for the announcement. New deliveries will
be here by November.
Domestic sardines are also strong and pack
ers are quoting higher prices. Advices from
Kaet port say that the run of tlsh on the Maine
Coast Is practically a failure, the few being
taken not supplying a tithe of the quantity to
keep those factories which are in operation
running for more than part of the day. As
a matter of fact a majority of the canning
plants are closed because of the scarcity of
fteh. To this fact, as well as the high cost
of oil, U attributed the advance In prices
which has Just been announced by the packers.
HOPS NEVER LOOKED BETTER.
Ton Crop Are Promised in Lane County
This Year.
George Dorcas, of Klaber, Wolf & Kevter,
returned yesterday from a trip through the
hop districts of the Valley with glowing re
ports of crop conditions everywhere.
"I paid particular attention to the yard In
Lane County," he said, "but I also inspect
ed the hops on the East and West Side. 1
never saw a better looking crop in my life.
Cultivation is going on all along the line,
and the yard look like gardens. In 1-ane
County, ton crops are going to be the rule.
Washington County will do about a well,
and things are looking fine around Indepen
dence and Dallas. The growers acknowledge
that the crop will be Immense and they are
not looking for high prices."
The local market has been dull for the pat
two days. Several small orders have been
filled around 9 and 94 cents.
Future of Egg Market Vncertain.
Egg dealer are peculating as to what will
happen to prices when the two cars of East
ern eggs that are on the way are added to
the car already here. It is very evident that
prices will not advance, but whether or not
there will be a break la a matter of dispute.
Frch ranch Oregon should be able to hold
their own unless repacking is resorted to.
Poultry was In large supply, but the trade
succeeded In maintaining former prices.
No change was reported In the dairy produce
situation.
Two Cars of Fresh Fruit Coming.
The demand for fresh produce showed fur
ther improvement yesterday, and as a result
of the warmer weather orders were made up
for a eecond car of deciduous fruits from
California. Both cars will, arrive early in
the coming week and will contain plums,
jjcachre and new apples. Cherries were in
good supply yesterday and brought 7&s8 cents
for Royal Annes and 5tT6 cents for blacks.
Plume were plentiful and moved well. Toma
toes are cleaning up better. Cucumber, as
paragus and squash continue plentiful and
easy.

OTHER STOCK INFLUENCED

fits Southern Pacific; New York
Traction a Weak Spot.
Close Is Irregular.
NEW YORK. June 20. There were points
of aggressive strength again in today', stock
market, but the movement was Irregular and
Interrupted by decisive reactions. Most im
portance was attached to the action of the
directors of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad
Company in increasing the dividend rate on
that stock to a 6 per cent basis by the declara
tion of a dividend of 3 per cent for a half
year. The stock rose to I.I8V3 before the
dividend action, but struggled- uncertainly for
a time after the annoumtement. Later in the
day the absorption of the stock became heavy
again and it was carried through large selling
to llMt. which is a record price.
Most of the other notable points of strength
in today's market were caused by sympathy
with the Baltimore & Ohio movement. Other
subsidiary companies of the Pennsylvania were
naturally affected. Southern Pacific also was
made a conspicuous example on hopes for in
creased dividends. It was argued that the more
liberal policy In the treatment of stockholders
Inaugurated by the Pennsylavnia Company
must have some effect upon the policy of
other railroad authorities. The effect bn
Pennsylvania itself was moderate, although
that stock will derive a direct benefit from
the B. & O. dividend. Increase by reason of
the large amount of that stock in the Penn
sylvania treasury.
Foreign exchange continued to decline un
der the supposed influence of bills against the
Pari subscriptions of the Pennsylvania loan.
The discount rate in the Paris market, how
ever, was marked up. Demand for time
loans 'continued strong in this market and the
majority of business was done at 514 per
"The continued lack of support in Interbor
ough Metropolitan had an unsettling influence
In the day's market. The day's moat active
stocks made their highest prices late in the
trading, but did not carry the list as a whole
with them and the closing tone was irregular.
Bonds were steady. Total sales, par value,
$1 845 000. United States bonds were all un

DEPENDS ON THE CHOPS
FUTURE COCRSE OF STOCK
MARKET UNCERTAIN.
General Tone in Business Circles Is
Optlniistit but All Eyes Are
on the Farms.
Henry Clews, of New York, writes aa fol
lows of the prospects in Wall street:
"Betwixt and between" are words whlch.
best describe the stock market Just now. Sev
eral of the Important crops are in a critical
stage of development, and for the next few
weeks the course of prices will be chiefly
dependent upon the progress of agriculture.
For several week"we have had an excellent
trading market, but uncertainty regarding the
crop situation has produced more or leea dis
position to postpone speculative commitments
until the outlook is more definite. Values are
still considered high, though, with the gen
eral situation so satisfactory the opportunity
for bearish tactics are more or less limited.
In business circles the tone Is still optimistic,
yet it should be noted that here and there
high prices In the commodity markets are
restricting business. The iron trade, however,
continues on In Its extraordinary rush of
prosperity, receiving much of its support
from present and prospective large railroad
orders. The new construction work and Im
provements already projected will consume
enormous amounts of raw material for the
coming 18 months, and this alone is quite suf
ficient to keep the iron trade in a state of
sustained activity. Stock market prices may
witness more or less irregularity.
The speculative spirit is temporarily dor
mant, but the leading bankers show unim
paired confidence in the situation, as well as
a wholesome disposition to discourage objec
tionable plunging operations which threaten
financial stability. If the orop situation de
velops satisfactorily we may look for a bet
ter market later on. Any serious damage,
however,- to any of the growing crops, and
especially corn, would precipitate sharp re
actions. The money market also, although a
secondary influence Just now, must be closely
watched, for higher rales, though not at pres
ent expected, are possible, and would affect
values adversely.

Two Policemen in Defense.
PORTLAND, June 20. (To the Editor.) It
Is very disgusting to notice how policemen,
perfectly sober, do not use liquors, are criti
cised by the press and otherwise for doing
their duty In making some drunken hoodlums'
behave. If a drunk, after a fight after mid
night In a saloon, arrested for drunk and
disorderly conduct, falls down and hurts him
self, he makes up a story that he was hurt.
Are such men entitled to any consideration 7
And is It not a bad policy to protect such
men 7 Men found drunk and disorderly In the
North End after midnight are certainly not
good men.
