This month will see the wind-up of the
market for old potatoes. Dealers who have
watched the movement of this product for
the last year, and have kept in close touch
with Oregon farmers, now state that much
larger stocks will be left in growers' hands
than is generally believed. Growers who
held on past the time when Rood -paying
prices were offered now regret their action,
a.s more than one heavy dealer asserts. The
stocks simply are burning themselves up In
bins. As to the chances remaining fur dis
posing of these held-over potatoes, all deal
ers agree In saying that but little outside
Inquiry is matfe for old stock. One firm
has a letter of advice from its San Fran
cisco correspondent In which It is stated In
that city there still remains much larger
stocks than can be moved at prices showing
a profit. - No less than nine carloads are on
the tracks there, with no bidders in evi
dence. There has been no inquiry from Los
Angeles for some weeks.
Oregon potatoes are maturing rapidly
and will soon take the place of California
grown. The southern state Is about a month
ahead of this state and the early crop Is
drawn on for supplies for Portland local
and shipping trade. Very fine, large, early
Oregon-grown potatoes are appearing now,
and a few days more will find the local dis
place the California vegetable.
Advices from California give not the best
report on condition. In the Valley some of
the crop was either washed out or the
ground became so saturated that the tubers
rotted before sprouting. The ground re
mained too wet for replanting In many lo
calities, which fact worked a douBle hard
ship prevented bringing the crop up to
normal and stopped selling of seed by
Oregon.
The best informed firms In California de
cline to forecast prices for next month, when
the Oregon potatoes will be on the market
In competition. Without the California quo
tation th opening price here Is not obtain
able. The price depends on weather condi
tions and the acreage replanted in the
southern state between this date and the
maturity of Oregon crop.
Dealers who have received reports from
the growing districts of the state predict a
crop at least equal to last year's, and are
already looking about for additional out
lets. Many are turning their attention to
the Alaska market, as the 7 -cent through
rate will bring the far northern trade to
this city in great measure. Arrangements
are being perfected to crate potatoes for
that market rather than sack them, as they
can be placed on sale there in better condi
tion In crates, bring better prices and make
A better appearance.
WOOLUKOwERS SATISFIED.
Condon bales Averaging Below 19 Cents
Acceptable.
About 700,000 pounds of wool was sold here
at the last sales. The prices ranged from
lHc down as low am 15c. The top notch
price was received by George Hardie, who
old a good-aixed clip for 19c. The wool
was of the average grade, but some of it was
dirty and damp, which accounts for some
of the low prices that were offered. There
were 34 clip in the warehouses and all were
sold except two. The average price paid was
18c. and the entire amounts paid out will
come close to the $150,000 mark. The buyers
came in on a special car, and among them
wer": E. rTQrke. who bought for Jordan. Judd
A Rout; Charles Green, for Koshland & Co.;
A. HarrU. for J. M. Russell & Co.: George
Abbott, for Botany Worsted Mills; William
Elley for Howell. Donnelly A Co.; George Ab
bott, who bought for himself. On the whole,
while a very few bales were not what was ex
pected, the sheepmen are well eatlfled and
the market and sales considered a decided
success. Condon Times.
ROYAL AJiN CHEKIUES.
This Favorite Fruit Not Maintaining Its
Good Name.
Fruit dealers are at a ha to explain what
has occasioned the maHcet deterioration In
Royal Ann cherries. For year this flne fruit
gave dealers little trouble in handling, as It
kept in good condition for days after arrival
In the market. This year, however, the fruit
spoils in a day or two and becomes unsalable.
The injury arpears not so much in the na
ture of decay as it doe in the bursting of the
skin. The hard rains two weeks ago may
have much to do with the bad condition of the
fruit.
FRESH MEATS AND POULTRY.
Less Call for Hens Than for Broilers and
Fryers.
The dressed meat dealers had little to do
yesterday, as the receipts were practically
nil. Hot weather la against much demand
for the heavier meats, so that light receipts
MM not ri,nln,i.H
In poultry the only feature noticeable was
, glut of old fowls, for which there was little
or no call. Young chickens were scarce and
old as rapidly as they came In.
Ducks and geese dragged, and were moved
only by makin: concessions on quoted prlcea
DAY'S TRADE ON FRONT STREET.
Deciduous Fruits Move Off Rapidly and
Citrus Scarce.
There were only moderate supplies of Cali
fornia fruits to meet a good demand yester
day, and last evening the warehouses were far
from being crowded with stocks.
A car of mixed fruits Is due and a car of
lemons rolling, which will be here, it Is ex
pected, before Saturday.
The ht-avy receipts of cantaloupes have not
broken prices to any appreciable extent, and
the melons are celling very satisfactorily to
dealers.
Bananas are about out of the market, all
stocks being sold up closely. Additional lots
are expected before Sunday.
N"b Logan berries of consequence arrived to
day, the hot weather interfering with picking
and shipping. '
Lemons are still in extra demand on account
of the continued "lemon weather." Stocks
are holding out fairly well, and prices higher.
There Is little call In this market for the
gradte "fancy" quoted at $6 f- o. b. Los An
geles. The highest grade sold here Is "choice,"
which ranks high enough for all practical
purposes.
TON TO THE ACRE.
G ood Prospect for Large Prune Crop In
Polk County.
In the Immediate vicinity of Dallas are 656
acres of prunes that are expected to this sea
son produce a ton of dried fruit to the acre.
Nearly every orchard will have a good crop
and more than 40 carloads will be shipped
from Dallas. Shipping apples will soon be
grown in large quantities and before many
years we will begin to send away English
walnuts. Dallas Itemlzer.

OVER HUNDRED MILLIONS
Stock Market Fluctuations Unsettle
Speculative Element and
Prices Go Weak on
Day's Trading.
NEW YORK, July 5. The recovery in prices
of stocks which set in on Tuesday was sub
stantially extended today, and then practi
cally wiped out on realizing. The renewed
weakness at the advance greatly unsettled
speculative sentiment. The undertone of the
market was decidedly improved at the outset.
The buying, although comparatively light, was
effected on a rising scale of prices and the
dullest periods of the morning during the
pauses In the advance or on positive reac
tions. This wae a reversal of the recent form of
the market and gave great encouragement
until the late reaction and corresponding de
pression came. The largest part of the new
demand was attributed to the uncovered sup
port and in the rise in prices this element was
driven to buy stocks to cover.
The rise had its impulse from abroad, where
prices of Americans rose during the holluay
interval here. The weak return for the Bank
of England Is a measure of the strain of the
semi-annual settlements, which include in
England the "window dressing" requirements
of the private discounts. But the decline in
discount rates both In London and Paris
Bhowed the influence at work of the redis
tribution of the funds accumulated for those
purposes. Arbitrage brokers had bids for
stocks in the open dealings in New York with
a view to reselling in London, which caused
an almost Immediate rise to the London parity.
The conseauence was that uncovered bears
found their positions somewhat cramped at
the outlet and they scrambled to secure stocks.
This was the active period of the day.
Later advances were effected on greatly re-
duced business. The New York money mar
ket showed the benefit of the returning flow
of the dividend and interest money, and call
and time loans were reported easier. The
confirmation of earlier reports of an engage
ment of gold in Australia was confused by
means of an additional engagement. Discus
sion was hopefully renewed of probable en
gagements in London next week.
Reports of an intended issue of New York
Treasury bonds toward the end of the month
made a bad impression in view of the many
other known requirements. The Joumai of
Commerce estimates new capital issues in
June at $104,000,000. of which nearly $97,000,
000 were of bonds. This compares with a
total of $127,500,000 in May, but the aggre
gate for the first six months of the year is
brought to $827,706,000, which is less than
f42.OO0,0O0 under the new capital Issues for
the whole of the year 1905.
Ice Company stocks were weak on account
of the success attending prosecutions in vari
ous parte of the country. Allis-Chalmers
stocks were under pressure on reports of the
heavy discount allowed to underwriters of the
new bond issue.
There was some disposition to construe the
tone of Mr. Vanderltp's address before the
New York State bankers of the necessity of
currency reform as containing an alarmist note
This conduced to the later reactionary tend
ency of the market, which was aggravated
also by the reduction effected in the short In
terest and the withdrawal of Just so much
potential support from the market. The weak
ness of Brooklyn Transit was due to reports
of proposed fare regulation.
The market closed weak near the lowest.
Bonds were Irregular. Total sales, par
value, fl, 780. 000. United States 3s registered
declined per cent on call.

CROWD SEES THE RESCUES
Girls Jump or Are Carried From
Burning Building.
NEW YORK, July 5. In a spectacu
lar factory fire on the East Side last
night, a holiday crowd estimated at
40,000 persons saw thrilling rescues.
The blaze was in a seven-story build
ing. On the upper floors about 10ft
men and girls were at work in a cloak
making establishment. So quickly did
the flames spread that escape by the
stairs was cut off, and they had to fle"e
to the roof. Many Jumped down the
20 feet or more to an adjoining build
ing, while others were brought down
by rescuers. Three were slightly in
jured. There are several crowded tenements
in the neighborhood where the fire oc
curred, and at the height of the blaze
the tenants fled in panic. Two young
men were arrested for attempting to
rob one of the deserted homes. They
were interrupted at their work by an
old lady, 65 years of age, Mrs. Betsy
Kaegel, whom they tripped and threw
down a flight of stairs. She was taken
to a hospital suffering from concus
sion of the brain.
Revenge for Sailors' Jest.
OYSTER BAY, L. I., July 5. A member
of the crew of the President's yacht, the
Sylph, name not known, was stabbed late
last night by an Italian, who had been
annoyed by the Sylph's men. The sailors
from the Sylph threw several bundles of
firecrackers among a passing party of
Italians. An hour later the Italians re
turned and one stabbed the sailor in the
left side, several inches below the heart.
Another Italian shot at the sailor, but
missed. The sailor was taken on board
the Sylph.

Chicago Wheat Market Droops
Under Weather Reports.
CASH HOUSES BIG SELLERS
Liberal Corn Receipts Cause Slump
That Is Turned Upward by
an Active Demand
From Shorts.
CHICAGO, July 5. The wheat market was
weak most all day. There was free selling
by cash houses and local longs, and support
came principally from shorts. The chief fac
tor responsible for the selling pressure was
the generally favorable weather conditions in
the United States, the Weather Bureau report
ing clear weather both in the Winter and
Spring wheat sections, the exception being In
Iowa and Nebraska, where some rains had
fallen.
The sales by cash houses were prompted
mainly by liberal acceptances from the coun
try.
Late in the day the market experienced a
fair rally, which was due to reports of rust
in tile wheat fields of North Dakota and
Canada. The close, however, was easy. Sep
tember opened c to (2-c .ower, at 79
79?ic to 79c. sold up to 79Tt80c, and
then declined to 79Vie. The close was off c
at 79c.
Liberal local receipts and weakness of
wheat caused a slightly easier tone in the
corn market at the start, but prices quiokly
responded to a lively demand by shorts and
made a fair rally. The firmness was main
tained throughout the remainder of the. ses
sion. Shorts were driven to cover by the
almost total absence of acceptances of bids
sent out by cash houses. Weather conditions
were favorable to the proper advancement of
the new crop. The market closed firm. Sep
tember opened i4o lower to Mc higher, at 51
0."lTc, sold up to 52c and closed Mt&'Ac
higher, at 5152c.
The oats market exhibited considerable
weakness. Weather conditions the past few
days have been Ideal for the maturing of
the new crop, and the outlook now is said
to promise a fair yield. There was heavy
selling by a prominent long and pit traders
also sold freely. Buying was scattered. Sep
tember opened Ui'xic to V&c lower, at
S5T4IB35WC. sold up to 35635o and then
reacted to 35c. The close was c lower.
at 351435C.
Provisions were quiet, but the market
showed a firm tendency. An advance in the
price of live hogs caused considerable bull
ish sentiment among pit traaers. ai toe ciuse
September pork was up 25c; lard was up
2VjC and ribs" were unchanged.
