THE MORNING OREGONIAN, FRIDAY, JULY 13, 1906
IS
SALMON RUN SLACK
Packers See Signs of Improve
ment Soon.
MAY MAKE UP LOST TIME
In Spite of Short Catch, More
Fish Have Been Put Into
Tins Than at This Time
Last Year.
BAUMON Run In Columbia River is
unsatisfactory.
FRUIT Warm weather makes hand
ling difficult.
POULTRY Spring chickens still In
demand.
EGOS Slow end easy.
BUTT BR Dairy grade arrives in
i ; condition.
MEATS Demand for all kinds poor.
G-ROCERIES Small pack expected
of Western com and; late peas.
The run of salmon in the Columbia River
Is very slack, but packers arc not Hfcouraged
as they believe there are abundant signs that
the run will be resumed before the season is
over. Should the fish again appear In good
numbers the usual pack can be made as the
modern appliances In the canneries are suf
ficient to handle any kind of a rush. Although
the catch Is smaller up to date than last
year, more fish has been put in cans then
was the case a year ago, as the ploklers have
operated less extensively this season.
The price of red Alaska salmon for cthis
year will not be set before August 1. according
to the Kelley-CJarka Company. There Is a
disposition to wait until some idea can be
gained about the size of the pack. Only
tin for 1,600.000 cases of all grades has been
sent North, which would mean a provision
for about 1.2SO.000 cases of red fish. This is
200,000 cases short or the total pack of all
grades last season, and In case all the cans
are not tilled the price will go even higher
than is now anticipated. The price last sea
son on red Alaska was 85c It may be higher
this year. The sockeye run and the Colum
bia River pack will make no difference in
the price to be set for Alaska red, says this
Arm., for the reason that the grade Is dif
ferent and both Columbia and Sound packs are
expected to be short this year.
A member of the Arm of Gorman ss Co., In
an Interview gives his opinion of the salmon
situation as follows:
"Prices will not be made on the 1906 pack
of sockeye salmon before August 10, and pos
sibly not untlL the entire pack la completed.
Contracts are being made by buyers at the
opening prices when the same are estab
lished, but so far not a single packer has
set a price on sockeye. By August 10 we
should be able to estimate the pack almost
to a case, and this will be the earliest date
that any prices will be announced on sockeye,
although it Is expected that the Columbia
River prices will be the basis. Packers can
afford to wait this season, because the run
will be light and every sockeye packed will
find a ready market All efforts to reduce
the prices on old stock have been stopped,
and all grades are firmer than they have been
In years, with a heavy demand for the
cheaper quality. Fresh sockeye may open at
about 30c, but I anticipate that the average
price for the season will be in the neighbor
hood of 25c. Contracts have been made by
trapowners ranging from 20c to 20c, but the
price where contracts have not been made will
be regulated by the run. The strike on the
Frasr River, brought about by the cut on
Spring salmon from 6c to 4c for reds, has had
no effect on the Sound, so far as I have been
able to ascertain. The price In the Ameri
can territory Is still retained at 5c for reds
and 2c for white Springs. There Is no reason
why the mme schedule should not prevail on
the Kraaer River, as the fish are sold to
practically the same market, all of the red
Springs that are taken in both sections being
used by the mild curing plants. The mild
curing plants are able to pay 5c with the pres
ent market for the output."
SLOW CALL FOR EGGS.
Strong Inquiry for Large Spring Chickens.
Store Butter in Poor Shape.
The demand for eggs is slow these hot days,
and though receipts of Oregon ranch stock are
light, the market Is easier. a part of the
weakness Is due to the abundance of East
ern eggs.
The weekly price current of a Front-street
house sayti of the poultry market:
Market this week has been about the same
as It was last week: demand for Springs, and
especially large ones, has been very good at
16617c. and medium hens have been fair
sale at about 13c. We have been unable to
supply the demand for Springs. Seems as if
every one wanted Spring chicken in the hot
weutht-r. This Is a big market nowadays
for produce, and the first thing we know it
will use up all the young ehlckens that were
produced this Spring. Advise your iriends
and customers to set more hens, to produce
more chickens to take the place of those that
are now being taken. We will want carloads
of them this Fall and Winter.
Ducks are very poor eerfe at this writing,
and It is hard to get over 18c for them.
Geese are very dull at 10c on young, and
old are hard to move at 8c Too warm for
these fowls. Wait until weather is cooler.
Turkeys are almost out of the market at this
time of the year, and will quote on turkey
bens 164yl7c and on Spring turkeys, 20625c.
Several large shipments of country store
butter arrived in liquid form yesterday. One
lot came by freight from Grant's Pass, and
and as there was not much of it left when It
was delivered, it Is presumed the remainder
Is scattered along the track between here and
the Southera town. The market would be In
good shape for this article If It could be
handled properly.- Creamery butter was
steady and unchanged.
TOO HOT TO DISPLAY FRUIT.
Front-Street Dealers Keep Their Stocks
Indoors.
There was no occasion for the policeman
who patrols Front street to take steps to
keep the sidewalk clear yesterday. During
a good part of the day the walks were about
as bare as they are on a Sunday. It was not
from any lack of stock, but owing to the heat
that the fruit was kept out of slgnt. Such
stuff a was exposed was practically cooked
by th hot sun.
The demand for lemons, oranges and all
kinds of deciduous fruits continued strong.
A mixed car from California had redy sale.
Thrve cars of bananas arrived in very good
condition. After the next car the fruit will
come under Ice. A shipment of fine Summer
pears, grown by Erlckson. of The Dalles,
marks the beginning of receipts of this mm.
They sold for $1.50 a box. A lot of late
gooseberries came down from Hood River.
Three cars of cantaloupes and one of water
melons will be on hand tomorrow.
Short Crop of Late Peas.
A Portland wholesale grocery Arm yester
day received. a telegram from Michigan, stat
ing that hot dry winds were burning up the
Acids there, making It certain that there will
be a short crop of late peas. The weather
conditions in that section are also affecting
other canned vegetable lines.
There will without question be a short pack
of Western corn, estimate of the pack run
ning from 20 to 00 per cent. The weather In
Maine Is not very favorable for the pack in
that state.
Dressed Meat Trade Poor.
There is a poor demand these days for
dreeeed meats. About the only thing wanted
is prime medium-sized veal. Even block hogs
are hard to dispose of at present. Meats to
be at all aceptable to the Front-street trade
must be received in strictly first-class cortCI

STOCKS POURED OUT
Selling Wave Strikes New
York Stock Market.
PRICES ARE FORCED DOWN
Move Said to Be an Object Lesson of
Damage to Result From Govern
mental and Popular Attitude
Toward Corporations.
NEW YORK. July 12. Speculators who op
posed a decline In prices, rather ruefully pro
nounced today's stock market "defenseless.'
So far as It implied an entire absence of
buying power, the term was accurate. The
only buying In evidence was an occasional
covering movement by the successful bear
traders who were satisfied to take inviting
profits on the decline in that way.
What passed for news about the stock ex
change In explanation of the movement clear
ly was simple conjecture for the most pan
by the traders who were following the move
ment without knowing where the large supply
of stocks came from that pouredjinto the mar
ket. The volume of th dealings nad risen
by noon to nearly the total for the day be
fore. The quick effect of the revived activity
in forcing down prices is evidence of the pre
vailing disposition to sell on the part of
those who make their appearance in the mar
ket at all.
Traders laid stress on the continued a-bsence
In the Far West of the president of the Great
Northern as discrediting the rumors of yes
terday that the terms of the Great Northern
ore lands deal was to be promptly announced.
As a matter of fact, the weight of protes
slonal opinion is that this and other reports
which have been the only available means
of causing prices to advance are much more
effective while left in the realm of surmise
than they would be as officially confirmed. It
is feared that the formal announcement would
lead to selling to realize as in the case of
other favorable developments recently.
Another favorite supposition of the traders
was that later returning tourists from Europe
having close relations with great capitalists
have brought back a definitely formulated
policy of liquidation and the countenancing of
decline in prices. The dislocation Detween
the return on securities at the present level
of values and on money loans is one allotted
motive for this policy. But the desire of af
fording an "object lesson" of the timidity of
capital and the damage to flow from the (jov-e-rnmental
and popular attitude toward cor
porations finds an even more prominent place
in the assigned causes for this alleged policy.
A violent decline in the London price ol
copper and a response in New York and the
falling off in the production of Iron reported
by a leading authority were causes or weak
ness today that seemed more substantial. As
a matter of fact, the movement of the mar
ket was traceable largely to technical condi
tions. The decreasing demand for stocks on
the recent rally served as a warning that no
substantial buying was coming at the pre
vailing level of prices. Yesterday's late re
action brought prices near to the low level
of the movement touched last week. Today
those prices were broken through in a large
number of stocks, although some of the prin
cipal market leaders are exceptions. The ef
fect was to encroach on margins and uncover
stop-loss orders which escaped at the pre
vious decline. There Is no present pressure
on borrowers of stocks, but it Is suspected
that loans on time to some of the stock mar
ket pools are running to their maturity and
difficulty Is found In satisfactory renewals.
The money market was tranquil and the
presence of the Secretary of the Treasury
In the city was the occasion for an Impres
sion that the proceeds of bankere' subscrip
tions to the forthcoming Panama Canal bonds
will be left on deposit with the banks and
thus guard agaiant an upset money market
as a consequence of the subscriptions in con
nection with the current withdrawal of .10,
000,000 of Government deposits. Intimations
of purchase by the Government of silver bul
lion for mintage were also calculated to sug
gest a means of release of Government funds
to the market.
These suggestions of clearing conditions in
the money situation were given some credit
for the light recovery from the declines, al
though the taking of the day's profits on the
short side played an Important part. The
closing was rather feverish, but with most
of the rally held.
Bonds were weak, total sales, par value.

CHICAGO, July 12. Despite a slight ad
vance at Liverpool, the local wheat market
opened easy on moderate selling by pit trad
era. Prices, however, quickly recovered, and
for the remainder of the day sentiment in
the wheat pit waa bullish. Rains in the Can
adian Northwest and prospects of variable
weather in the Spring wheat territory of thlfl
country, together with higher prices for wheat
at Minneapolis, tended to advance prices
here. The strength of the Northwestern mar
ket seemed to confirm the reports of dam
age by rust In the wheat fields of North Da
kota. Foreign news also favored the bulls.
It was reported that the crop in Southern
Russia had been badly damaged by rain and
that Argentine exports had declined. The
market closed strong. September opened un
changed to iVie lower, at 78c to 78H73c,
advanced to 79M,79c, and closed c up,
at 78(gTc.
The corn market was under heavy selling
pressure all day, and a weak tone prevailed
