BUTTER No chance In conditions.
Richard Delch, County Fruit Inspector,
made the biggest haul of the season In the
way of Infected fruit yesterday. When he
had completed his work, half & ton of peach
v plums and 25 boxes of apples had been
condemned and so thoroughly soaked wlth
coal oil as to make their sale impossible.
All this fruit was infected with San Joe
scale and cams from orchards near the city.
The plums were found by the Inspector on
Front street and at the Italian market on
the East Side. Part of the apples were con
demned in the Italian market and the re
mainder in grocery stores. The fruit men
and the Inspector were much surprised to
And the plums so badly infected this year.
It la no unusual thing for peach plums to
be attacked by scale, but the pest has never
been so bad around Portland before and a
sharp lookout will be kept during the re
mainder of the season- for diseased) fruit.
Inspector Delch finds that the commission
men and Italian peddlers are anxious to co
operate with him in ridding this section of
unsound produce. The grocery men also are
favorable to (he crusade, and of the 150
grocers whose places have been visited, only
two have raised objections to having their
unfit merchandise confiscated. The Inspector
had some trouble at the small Chinese mar
ket at Bast Sixth and Hawthorne one morn
ing last week, when he condemned a dosen
boxes of apples, but the Chinese have since
realized the benefits to come from a rigid
Inspection and are now making no com
plaint. On the whole, the fruit that Is being handled
on Front street and at the markets Is in
better condition than that offered for sale
" at some of the groceries. The commission
men and traders at the Italian market are
now on the alert for diseased fruit, but a
few of the grocers In the residence districts
are not as careful as they should be as to
what they buy from farmers. Consumers
can also help the good cause along by re
fusing to purchase any apples or other fruit
that is in the least marked with scale.
Mr. Delch hopes that the campaign being
waved in the markets this Summer will re
sult in clean orchards next year. By the
condemnation of fruit, growers have ample
notice of the condition of their orchards,
and if they will spray properly this Fall and
next Spring there will be no scale in the
coming season.

' Mixed Car Arrives, Also Plenty of Melons
and Cantaloupes.
A mixed car of apples, peaches and plums
arrived yesterday afternoon and helped com
plete the assortment of small fruit on Front
street. Three cars of watermelons and one
car of Exeter canteloupes also arrived, and
all lines met with strong demand.
N. K. Arakellan, of Fresno, distributing
agent for ths Exeter A Lindsay Canteloupe
Growers Association, reached the city yes
terday to begin marketing ths product of ths
association. Mr. Arakellan says ths crops
are exceedingly good in his section this
year. On his own ranch he has 175 acres
In canteloupes and 470 acres in watermelons.
CALIFORNIA VEGETABLE CROPS.
Union Reports on Celery, Cauliflower and
Tomato Conditions.
Reports that have ben circulated of trou
ble in the California Vegetable Union are en
tirely refuted by a letter received from ths
Union yesterday by Richard F. Hoaxing, its
Portland representative. The association, ths
headquarters of which are at Los Angeles,
is now stronger than ever and has mads ar
rangements to Increase its force of Inspectors
and packers. Not a single grower has with
drawn from ths association, while on ths
other hand every new grower has Joined,
which certainly indicates complete harmony.
Railroad facilities will be much Improved,
as a new cut-off to the celery fields is being
constructed, which will save a haul of 30
miles between ths producing districts and
Los Angeles, and prove of great benefit to
ths celery shipments.
Soros interesting Information is contained
In ths letter regarding crop prospects. Cel
ery planting is progressing nicely, ths weath
er Is unusually favorable, and the growers
are making excellent progress. Indications
are that hs acreage will be considerably
larger than last season, but whether there
will be more carloads for shipment than last
year remains to be seen. The Union will
control ths entire output of Southern Cali
fornia.
The cauliflower crop will not be as large
as last year, as a portion of .the cauliflower
district is now in town lots. Quality, how
ever, bids fair to be excellent, as most of
the remaining growers are expert In growing
cauliflower. -
Indications point to a somewhat heavier
acreage of foot-hill tomatoes than last sea
son, although the acreage in the Eagle Rock
district will be considerably reduced.
Egg Market Drag-gins;.
A dragging market Is reported by egg
dealers. Stocks are in sufficient supply, but
the demand is slow. Prices are maintained
with difficulty.
A continuation of last week's demand Is
looked for when the poultry market opens
today.
There was no change in the butter situa
tion yesterday.

An advance of V cent In hams of 10 to
20 pounds was announced yesterday to the

Russian Developments Affect
All Financial Centers.
RESISTANCE AT NEW YORK
Effect Soon Passes and Stock Prices
Are Restored to Saturday's
Level Sage's Death Causes
No Disturbance.
NEW YORK. July 23. The stock market
here was slightly shaken by the developments
in Russia over Sunday, In common witb the
world's other securities markets. But resist
ance was shown by the New York market
and the effects bad apparently passed In the
course of half an hour, at which time the
confident absorption of stocks had restored
Hhe level of prices to where they left off
on Saturday.
The determination of a market organization
to effect an upward movement in prices mani
fested iteelf afresh and Operations of the
same character as those which appeared in
the market Friday and Saturday were re
sumed. There is no attempt to belittle the
gravity of the situation In Russia from a
political standpoint, but the drift of events
has been so clearly foreshadowed that it is
believed that the financial and banking world
has acted with a view to the developments
which have now occurred.
The action of the foreign securities markets.
however, seemed to threaten serious conse
quences for a time today. The special ef
fect in the London market is due to the com
ing due on August 1 of an Instalment of
subscriptions to the last Russian loan. The
heavy discount now ruling on the subscription
price of money In that market points to severe
losses on the underwriting and the forced man
ner of the liquidation points to a much
smaller distribution of the loan Into Investors'
hands than had been Intimated at the time of
the flotation.
London's necessities Induced considerable
selling of securities in this market today. It
also resulted in a strong rebound In the for
eign exchange market, which carried the price
Indefinitely away from the gold export point.
The Bank of England secured all the newly
received gold in the London market, but It
was remarked that New York put m no com
petitive bids for the supply which was se
cured at a decline of a penny an ounce from
the price recently prevailing, which New York
paid last week. It was Inferred that New
York bankers thus acquiesced in the necessity
of the London market getting additional sua?
piles.
The Saturday bank statement, -with Its
showing of a $11,700,000 cash increase, may
have an influence on Its attitude, though It
remained somewhat of a mystery where and
how the cash was obtained. . However, the
Immediate money outlook is thus decidedly
cleared. The speculative leadership In the
market evidently assumed that security from
pressure was -assured at any rate until the
withdrawals for the purpose of moving crops
shall Intervene. The time Is regarded as op
portune. In the professional speculator's view,
for an upturn in prices, and they operated
from that viewpoint today. The conspicuous
place of he transcontinental stocks in the
movement eerved to revive many dormant
rumors fegardlng developments In them, one
from London alleging a coming control of St.
Paul in the Interest of the Union Pacific.
The market seemed unaffected by the death
of Russell Sage, the understanding being gen
erally that his affairs were arranged so as
to avoid pressure on the stock market or'1 any
disturbance in the money market. The mar
ket showed great strength and activity on the
recovery from the low point to the highest.
but owing to the depressed level at the start
and the profit-taking in the last hour of the
session the net changes from Saturday's
prices were small and the closing tone was
easy.
Total sales of bonds, par value, $1,393,000,

however, apparently outweighed every other
consideration. The market opened higher be
cause of the Russian political situation and
small world's shipments. News from the
Northwest was less favorable, several reports
stating that crops had deteriorated and that
the yield would be disappointing. It was
stated also that the crop in Oregon had been
seriously damaged by excessive heat. There
was also considerable talk of export sales,
although no figures were given beyond one
shipment of 60,000 bushels which was sold to
go abroad. The cash markets generally were
lower. The visible supply of wheat showed
an Increase of 1.667.00O bushels, against a
decrease of 464.000 bushels last year. Pri
mary receipts were large, being 1,648,000
bushels, against 1,631,000 bushels last year.
These facts overbalanced all the bullish news
and the market was' weak throughout the
day, with the exception of a slight rally to
ward the ralddle of the session. . The market
closed easy. September opened o higher,
at 76c, sold between 76c and 77c, and
closed c off, at 76c
The corn market ruled firm during the
greater part of the day. September opened,
at 49c sold between 4949o and 60 c
and closed strong at 50c. which was &o
higher than Saturday.
The oats market was quiet and steady. Sep
tember opened at 32V,S32c, sold between
32c and 32o, and closed c higher, at
32c.
Provisions were firm and throughout the
day received good support from packers. At
the close September pork was up 2c; lard
was 7 10c higher, and ribs were 10c higher.
