Yesterday there was no perceptible fall
in off In either local or shipping movement
01 fruits and fancy vegetables.
The hot weather of the last two days cre
ated a better demand for citrus and tropical
fruits. Thin demand will continue during
the prevalence of the heated term, but there
were extra large stocks In the hands of deal
ers in anticipation of a sudden change in
the weather. The demand for lemons was
particularly noticeable, though lnrp-ci ship
ments of oranges, bananas, ltmcs and pine
apples kept pace.
In deciduous fruits the street was nearly
cleaned up, the heaviest movement being In
plums and peaches. It was feared Saturday
that too many cantaloupes had been sent In
from Southern California, but weather was
favorable for an extensive sale, and at the
close of the day there were few crates re
maining unsold, '
The only noticeable change In the way of
supply was that of Logan berries. There Is
an exceedingly largo crop of Logans reported
from the growing districts, and dealers fig
ured on much heavier receipts than materi
alised today. Instead of prices declining,
therefore, Logans were wanted all along the
street at S1.S0 a crate, with supply short.
Quite a demand alFo developed for "eating"
apples late In the day. but the small num
ber of boxes arriving on the morning delivery
were sold readily at good prices.
OREGON GRAIN TRADE.
History of Wheat on Pacific Coast in Com
mercial Review.
The 16th annual number of the Commercial
Review, under date of July 1, shows a very
considerable amount of research. Beginning
with the biblical account of the creation of
food products, the review of grain production
and trade is brought down through the cen
turies until the discovery and development of
the Pacific Coast. Statistics . giving the mar
velous growth of the grain trade in the United
States, and particularly of this Coast, are
full and Interesting.
For the season 11)05-06 the Review makes
the following report of the Columbia Rlver

1 PACKERS' SUM: OF QUESTION.
W Claim That Canned Meats and Products Are
L. Healthier Than I re Mi.
It Is the contention of the best authorities
Jfthat the great majority of canned goods In
" all varieties under the befit brands In the
market are superior in healthfulness and eat
' Ing quality to the same article when bought
fresh in the markets of cities where the ma
terial Is anywhere from 48 to 06 hours out
of the ground, out of the water or off the trees
before it is offered for sale. These brands
I of good s are packed pe rf ec 1 1 y fresh 1 n sec
I tlons where the material is grown or produced
at Its very best; they are prepared with a
minimum of hand labor, and are sterilized by
I heat In a perfectly clean package, with the
addition of only sugar or salt as they may
be needed. Men in the trade, who hava gone
through the Chicago packing-houses, say the;
do not believe tha charges made against the
packers. Thoe we have talked with say
that at the moat there may be carelessness,
hown In untidiness, but nothing worse. The
I V . condition of the public health does not bear
out the criticisms of the packing industry, for
It la difficult to understand how the consum
ers could escape an epidemic of disease If
half that Is charged against the meat pack
ers were true. The retail grocers may con
fidently push the picnic necessaries, tha
canned delicacies so convenient for outing
parties, without the slightest fear that "the
i goods will not sustain encomium. Merchants
Review.
eggs Rnranft BIT HIGH.
Anomalous Situation tn the Market That Is
Difficult of Explanation.
In nearly all commission houses there it re
ported to be normal receipts of fresh ranch
aggs. In spite of that fact there Is pronounced
bullishness. With most dealers Z cents is
named as top, with plenty of stocks on hand
to fill demanda In a few houses It is claimed
that above 2a cents la the legitimate quota
tion, all things considered.
Just what Is behind this difference of opin
ion IS not apparent, but in certain quarters
lt Is satd that outside demand for surplus
stocks keens the price up. Quotations named
on the Sound nre not above Portland prices,
freight added, according to latest printed
price lists.
F WASHINGTON WOOLS MOVE.
price Stays Around II Cents, About Same as
Last Year.
The Ellensburg, Wash., Capital says:
"At the close of the shearing season there
was an aggregate of 850.000 pound of wool
stored here. The producers have been Impor
tuned to sell more than once, but have seem
ingly been in no hurry, but within the past
week a movement has been noticeable. The
prices range from 10Hc to 21c.
The largest Individual sale made recently
was J- C. Lloyd's clip of 90,000 pounds, which
MS taken by the Botany Worsted Mills, of
Passaic. X. J.
The sheepmen say prices are ranging about
the same a? last year, with the market pos
sibly a shade less firm.
The quality Is fully up to average and
buyers have not been scan e by any means.
Of course, by far the greater portion, of the-
clip Is still unsold. In fact, some of last
year's is still in warehouse, but there Is rea
son for believing that more sales will be
made In the near future.

DEATH ENDS PLAY ON ROOF
Boy Slides Over Coping in Escaping
Blind Aided Girl.
NEW YORK, July 2. Jacob Edel
steln. a youth, played blind man's buff
with his little sisters. Aufrusta and
Sadie, and his cousin, Lena Suchsberg,
on the roof ot a seven-story tenement
last night. About the roof ran a low
coping. Jacob raced about until he
waspcnned in a corner. Lena, the
blindfolded giri, advanced upon him.
Jacob sprang backward, giving the
next Instant a shout of terror. The
girl snatched the handkerchief from
her eyes, only to see Jacob disappear
ing over the coping.
Lena grabbed one foot. Augusta and
Sadie Joined Tier. Jacob screamed as
he hung head downward, with his back
to the wall, unable to save himself.
The three children clung to his foot.
Presently Jacob tried to recover him
self. But the force he exerted tore his
foot from the children's grasp, and
with a shrill cry he plunged to the
court below. He died instantly.

SHAW ASKS FOR
Stock Traders Surprised at
Action of Treasurer.
CHOSEN TIME NOT LIKED
Bonds for Panama Canal Take
Funds Dealers Want for Han
dling Operations on
Wall Street.
NEW YORK, July 2. The load of selling
which the stock market had to carry eeemed
slightly mitigated during the early trading
today and tio uneasiness of the bears, which
waa caused by this fact, made the market
feverish and uneven for a time under the con
flicting influences of the selling and the de
mand from shorts to cover. Later the selling
was resumed in full force and the market
closed weak. The- high opening of prices was
exceeded after the first break in the market
and there were occasional rallies after subse
quent breaks. But the fact was obvious that
any show of a buying demand was taken ad
vantage of to the fullest extent to continue
the realizing sales. Late In the day free
liquidation was resumed and at times sup
port was practically abandoned.
A flurry In the call loan market was the
signal for the enhanced pressure to sell and
it was inferred that there was further calling
of loans and of forced closing out of specula
tive holdings. It Is not usual for the New
York money market to show immediate relief
from the needs of a periodical settlement with
the arrival of the date and the extra de
mand for call loans today did not ocaoslon
great surprise. It Is the longer time money
outlook that is the subject of solicitude.
The effect of the preparations for paying
out S150.000.000 of July disbursements is ex
pected to pass as soon as these disbursements
are accomplished. ' But the tone of the time
loan market continues strong, with an active
demand and scanty supply. Sentiment over
the money outlook was disappointed over the
fact that New York succeeded in obtaining
only an Insignificant portion of the large sup
ply of gold which arrived In London on Sat
urday, in spite of the fall In exchange to the
nominal gold import point.
Sentiment was little reassured by rumors
of a large engagement of Australian gold hav
ing been secured but which failed of verifi
cation. The price of gold was marked up in
the London market, but discounts eased here.
The heavy and stagnant tone of foreign stock
markets was unrelieved.
The Issuance of a circular by the Secretary
of the Treasury Inviting subscriptions by July
20 to $30,000,000 of Panama Canal bonds was
regarded as a complicating factor in the bond
market. The recent prosperous course of the
Government revenues and the surplus In course
of accumulation in the Treasury have led to
an assumption In some banking quarters that
the Immediate needs of the canal work would
be supplied out of the Treasury's cash bal
ance and the flotation of bonds for the work
postponed to a more propitious time. This
hope is disappointed by the day's events.
Reassuring reports from railroad traffic
managers were calculated to correct the im
pression made by last week's reports of a fall
ing off in volume of merchandise transported
and that development was pronounced tempo
rary as shown by a recovery In the week
Just passed. But the effect was not percepti
ble on stock and more attention was paid to
reports of cutting of grain rates to Missouri
River points. Firmness in the London cop
per market contributed to an early advance in
the copper group of stocks.
New Incorporations In June of companies of
a million capital or upwards are reported to
be 31.450.000 larger than for June. 1905.
but nearly one-half of the total was of min
ing companies and one-half of the remainder
In street railway and light companies. This
is a significant showing of the multifarious
way In which interest is diverted at present
from the securities dealt In at the stock ex
change. The pressure of liquidation became acute In
the late dealings and the character of the
selling gave evidence of distress which was
believed to reflect money difficulties on the
part of some speculative holder. of long
stocks.
Bonds were more active but were easy.
Total sales, par value, 11,820,000. United
