WOOLS QUIET DOWN
Prices, as Lately Reduced, Are
Being Maintained.
DEADLOCK IN WYOMING
Boston Market Is in Good Condition,
Notwithstanding the Decline at
London Heavy Movement
in Local Produce.
WOOL Orefon market becomes
quieter.
WHEAT CaUfornta crop larger
than expected.
FRUIT Heavy local receipts.
VEOKTABL.ES Front street supply
smalt.
CHEESE Market advances half
cent.
BUTTER Prices are unchanged.
EGGS Receipts do not clean up.
POULTRY More chickens could be
sold.
MEATS Veal in better demand.
The wool market In this state has shown
less activity In the past week, but the prices,
as recently reduced, have been maintained.
All the large public sales have been held, but
a few small pool sales are scheduled for later
dates and a considerable quantity of wool re
mains to be disposed of at private sale. The
Valley Is well cleaned up. In Western Idaho,
some late transactions are reported at 14 ' s
to 10 cents. Operations are at a standstill
In Wyoming, growers still asking prices at
which Boston dealers would be glad to sell
the wools on that market. About 1,000,000
pounds were recently sold at different points
In New Mexico, at prices ranging from 16 to
20 Vic.
Sales in Montana are not being made as
rapidly as growers anticipated, and about as
much wool has been withdrawn as sold, on
account of the bide being too low for the
shreepmen. Some 850,000 pounds were offered
for sale at Glendlve, but only one-half of
the quantity put up was taken, at prices
ranging from 21 to 23 c, or about 68 to 70c,
clean. Buyers, as a rule, do not seem dis
posed to pay the high prices demanded by
ft rowers, but on the contrary, are waiting
until reasonable figures will be listened to.
As a consequence, several sales have been
posLponed, notably those at Great Falls and
Billings.
No evil effect appears to have resulted in
the Eastern market on account of the easier
position of the London market, for, accord
ing to the Boston Commercial Bulletin, "ad
mitting the decline reported to have taken
place at the auctions, there are no wools there
that could be. brought Into this country to
compete In price with similar grades of the
domestic clfcp." The Bulletin thus reviews the
situation:
It is the opinion of well-versed merchants
that we now have the lowest prices that will
rule for the next three months, although
advances, which will likely be made, will
be but slight, and not sufficient to warrant
dealers In carrying extremely high priced
wools. This feeling of not being able to
obtain prices which would show a profit.
Is leading the trade to act conservatively in
their purchases of the present clip. The high
point of the market with tight money and
increased expenses all contribute to the con
servatism. The new wools here are being firmly held,
and transactions follow only when full prices
are paid. And why should dealers make con
cessions from current rates, when Europe
and the West are so consistently high?
VU wed from all rides, there seems to be no
cause for a recession from the present strong
position of the market, except the possibility
of a loss of confidence In general business.
The country Is prosperous and the mills are
well employed, as shown by their Inability
to get enough operatives to turn out the pro
duction called for.
ADVANCE IN CREESE.
Stronjt Outside Demand Sends lp Prices.
Poultry Mtirkt-f 1 inu.
The cheese market continues to harden, and
another half-cent advance to noted in local
prices. The strength Is due to the heavy
buying at the factories for Seattle and San
Francisco account. Orders are also In from
6crameato and other Southern cities Not
much storing Is being done here.
Butter holds Its own with some of the
city creameries quoting the murket weak
and others as steady. A shipment of Coos
Bay butter arrived yesterday and was held
at 2t cents.
Eggs are slow sale, and although receipts
are not heavy, they do not clean up readily.
A Front-street firm thus reviews the poultry
situation;
Market has been very firm all week for
chickens, turkeys, etc., and we do not get
nearly all wc nesd. This Is especially true
as to the matter of large Springs and good
hens. We quote hens at 13c and Springs at
ITc for fancy. Ducks are not selling very
well at 12Vjfi,13c. and geese are in rather
poor demand at 810c Turkey bens are In
good demand at 15tflSo. and fine young
turkeys would sell at a very fancy price 20
23c. Don't crowd coops too much, and be
sure that there Is plenty of ventilation. There
has been great fatality In some of the coops
that arrived In the hot spell, and this may
be avoided by using care (n the matter.
Country storekeepers will do well to encour
age their patrons to raise more poultry this
market needs more these days than it can get,
and Is constantly growing.
HOPGROWERS FIRM.
Dealers Find It Difficult to Make Contracts
at Advanced Price.
There were no new features of interest in
the hop market yesterday. Dealers reported
that It was difficult to sogure contracts, as
growers' views have been lifted by the recent
advance. Up to 12 cents Is known to have
been paid for 180J hops and probably a frac
tion more. The fact that 13 cents had been
offered at McMlnnvllle was confirmed. The
offer was made by Walter Miller, a buyer for
Joe Harris, of Salem. It was also reported
that 13 cents was offered at Woodtourn.
The London Standard, of July 7, said of the
English crop:
During the past week. In spite of the more
genial weather prevailing, the nights have
been unseasonably cold and altogether re
ports from the plantations are not so satis
factory as they were. The heavy attack of
fly-blight In many districts has been too much
for the bine, in spite of constant washing, and
there are signs that a considerable proportion
of the acreage will be sble to produce only a
very" small crop. Continental reports are also
unsatisfactory, the weather conditions there
favoring a continuance of the blight.
FRUIT RECEIPTS LARGE.
Carload of Apricots tomes From Wenatcbee.
Vegetable Are Searee.
Yesterday's fruit arrivals Included two ears
of watermelons, four of bananas and one
each of cantaloupe and apricots. The latter
came from Wenatchee, and sold at $1-2&C
$1,115 a crate. Ripe bananas are scarce, ye
terday's receipts being In green condition.
Garden truck is in very light supply and
firm prices are ruling. Cabbage is particu
larly scarce, as the local gardeners' supply
ts exhausted, but a car from California will
b due Jn a. fw dayp. Tomatoes are also
scarce and these on the market sell at the
wide ranee of $1.25 to 8. A car of red
onions was received yesterday.
CALIFORNIA GRAIN CROPS. LARGE.
"Wheat and Barley Will Run 15 to 20 Per
Cent Above Early Estimates.
C. E. Curry, manager of the Northwestern
Warehouse Company, who returned from San
Francisco yesterday, report that crop con
ditions) In that state are exoellent. The yield
of both wheat and barley will be from 15 to 20
per cent larger than was estimated earlier
In the season. Some very fine wheat Is arriving-
at San Francisco, says Mr. Curry,
which tests 63 and 64 pounds to the bushel.
In view of the large crop, California will re
quire only a small quanalty of Northern wheat
this season for mixing purpose The local
market continues slow.
Dressed Meats Sell Better.
The cooler weather has stimulated the de
mand for dressed meats, and good fancy
veal now sells readily at 8 cents. There 1 a
good inquiry for light and medium hogs at
8Vi cents, but large sizes of both animals do
not move so well.
YAMHILL GROTJERS ARE HOLDING.
Rumors That as High as 14 Cents Has Been
Offered on Hop Contracts.
M'MINNVILLE. Or.. July 19. (Special.
The price of bops in Yamhill County is go
ing up. Although the highest contract yet
written calls for ISJft cents, the growers are
refusing 13 cents here today. A number of
offers have been made at that price, but
growers expect the price to go still higher.
It Is rumored today that 14 cents had been
offered, but it has not been definitely
stated.
The growers In Yamhill County are in
clined to hold oft their contracts, expecting
the price to go up. The report of only a
lfalf crop in England had much to do with
this tendency. The total crop in yamhill
will be about one-fourth larger than last
year, but greatly superior in quality. John
B. Fletcher says:
"The hop condition looks fina, better than
ever before. The yield promises 1500 per
acre."
Fletcher nad choice hops last year and will
get the same choice grade from this year's
yield. He has 40 acres in hops and will get
about 20,000 pounds.
The yards this year are better taken care
of than any previous year. The bines are
comparatively free from vermin except a
very small per cent. The growers of Yam
hill are striving more for quality than quan
tity and the hops will range from choice io
prime. The average will bo the prime and
very few of lower grade are expected.
Hop Contracts in Clackamas.
OREGON CITY, Or.. July 10. (Special.)
Four Clackamas County hopgrowers have
entered Into agreements to sell their 1006
crop to buyers in consideration of an ad
vance of 7 cents that has been paid for the
expenses of harvesting the crop, the balance
of the purchase price to be paid at the time
the hops are delivered In September. R. M.
Gatewood. of Portland, U the purchasing
agent in three of the cases, the growers be
ing F. Irish, 4 acres; W. O. Dickerson. 14
acres, and J. R. and Evan Lewis, 14 acres.
Fred Kamrath, George and Arthur Staben
agree to deliver for the same consideration
their crop from 14 acres to C5ar.es S. May
& Co., of New York. The agreements, which
are the first Instruments involving this
year's hop crop in Clackamas County, were
recorded at the Courthouse this morning.
Hops Contracted for 12 Cents.
SALEM, Or., July 19. (SpeclaL ) About
1000 bales of hops were contracted by Salem
dealers today at 12 cents. The contract
market is very active and dealers are travel
ing all the time hunting growers who want
to sell. The most active buyers are Lach-
mund & Co. and Joseph Harris. Others
making contracts are Ed Herren and Kola
Nets.
There nave been rumors today of 13-cent
contracts having been made, but they have
not been confirmed. It Is known, however,
that one offer of 12 cents was made and
refused.

CHICAGO MARKET WEAKENS
Profit Taking Brings About a Quick
Decline in Wheat Prices and
Most of the Early Gain
Is Lost.
CHICAGO. July 19. Wheat early in the day
was decidedly strong on an active demand by
shorts and commission houses, based upon
fresh report from Minneapolis of additional
instances where black rust had been found in
the Spring wheat crop. A eharp rise In the
price of wheat at Minneapolis apparently, sub
stantiated these advices. Reports were re
ceived claiming that several provinces In
Southern Russia had experienced a total fail
ure of the crop. Late In the day denials
came from the Northwest that any great
amount of damage had been done by rust.
This caused considerable profit-taking and a
sharp break in prices at Minneapolis brought
about a quick decline here. The market
closed weak, although part of the early gain
was retained. September opened H0c to
91c higher at 78 to 78 c, advanced to
79Hc and then declined to 7878Hc The
close was up He to 44c at 7894c
Ths early bulge in wheat strengthened the
corn market, but later the market weakened
on realizing sales. The market closed near
the lowest point of the day. September
opened 0c higher at 62H52Vic,
sold off to 61c and closed c lower at 51c
The oats market broke sharply about mid
day. Reports were received that the recent
damage reports had been greatly exaggerated
and this caused heavy sales by large holders
September opened Hc to 44c higher
at 34j4c to 35c, declined to -33Hc and closed
74c to lc off at 83H c.
Provisions were quiet. A feature of trading
was an advance of 50 centB In the price of
July pork, the upturn being caused by the
buying of shorts. A firm market for live
hogs caused a bullish sentiment in stovisions
At the close September pork was up 15c at
$17.80. Lard was off 7c at $8.97, and ribs.
were 67c lower at $9.35.

SMALL INTEREST SHOWN
RECORD FOR DTTLIjNESS AP
PROACHED IN STOCK MARKET.
No Mfe to Trading Until Amalga
mated Dividend Is Announced.
Foreign Markets Heavy.
NEW YORK, July 19. The year's record
for dullness was approached in today's busi
ness at the Stock Exchange. The tedious
fluctuations represented nothing but the shift
ing operations -of a handful of room-traders,
and were not sufficient to effect any appreci
able movement.
Very few of the active stocks moved as
widely as a point from last night's level. In
terest In the market seemed entirely dormant
until the share rise at the iast, when the
market held firm on the Amalgamated divi
dend announcement.
No less than three meetings of corporation
directors were scheduled for the day, to which
Importance had been attached, and upon which
speculative hopes had been based or professed.
It was early announced that the St, Paul
meeting could not be held, owing to the In
ability to secure a quorum of the directors.
It had been predicted that the long-expected
financial plan for the construction of the Pa
cific Coast extension would he considered at
this) meeting, and an official announcement
prepared. The market received the report of
the abandonment of the meeting without a
ripple. Special effort had been mads to drum
up a quorum of Union Paciflo dlrsctors. but
they attended only to routine matters and
left the decision of the next dividend m the
hands of the executive committee. Confident
assertions had preceded the meeting that a
large extra disbursement would bo made out
of the proceeds of sales of the company's
holdings of Great Northern preferred and
Northern Pacific stock.
The day of a dividend announcement on
Amalgamated Copper is attended with more
speculative excitement in periods of activity
n the market than almost any other event.
Predictions had been made of probable action
ranging all the way from a passing of ths
dividend to an increase to an 8 per cent rate.
The stock sagged lazily on the announcement
of the retention of the last dividend of 1
4er cent, and per cent extra for the quar
terly period.
Foreign markets continued dull under the
weight of the discouraging outlook in Russia,
and It was reported that the London market
was affected by supposed liquidation on ac
count of the Beit estate. A report came from
Chicago that railroad companies were borrow
ing heavily from banks there Into March next
at 5 to 6 per cent to peetpone offerings of
securities in the present unfavorable market.
The outcome of tomorrow's offering of $30,
OO0.000 of Panama Canal bonds and the com
pletion of the repayment of $10,000,000 of
Government deposits which have been recalled
is awaited with Interest.
Bonds were Irregular. Total sales, par
value, $1,377,000. United States bonds were
unchanged on call.

JUDGE MAKES SUBTERFUGE
Said Railroad Could Give Rebates
and Be Within the Law.
MILWAUKEE. Wis., July 19. J. G.
Albright, general agent in Wisconsin
for the Union Central Life Insurance
Company of Ohio, who appeared be
fore the Wisconsin Legislative Insur
ance Investigating Committee, today
produced correspondence of a sensa
tional character between bis company
and a Wisconsin Supreme Court Judge,
In which the latter tried to obtain a
rebate and offered the company a plan
for a subterfuge under which the
Judge believed the rebate could be
given and still come within the pale
of the law. Mr. Albright said if even
Supreme Court Judges were willing t'o
offer subterfuge plans by which they
could obtain rebates, he thought there
was little wonder that the rank and
file of the public accepts rebates where
It can obtain them. The name of the
Judge with whom the correspondence
was had in October, 1902, was not made
public.
