! THE MORNING OltEGONIAN, THURSDAY, AUGUST 2, 1906. . CUT BY OUTSIDERS Cantaloupe Market Demoral ized by California Agents. MEDDLERS GIVEN BENEFIT aLocal Jobbers Hurt by Action Taken by Exeter & Undsay Associa tion, 'Which Vnloads Fruit at Unprofitable Prices. FRUIT Cantaloupe market demor alized. WOOL Oregon sella -well In East. POTATOES Farmer offering liber ally. POULTRY Spring chickens weaker. EGOS Quality is Improving. BUTTER Steady and unchanged. GROCERIES Advance la package coffee. ' The Portland wholesale dealers In fruit are considerably wrought up over what they con elder a serious abuse In the handling of can teloupes. The Exeter and Lindsay Canteloupe Growers' Association, represented here by a temporary agent, for some reason or other began selling canteloupes to peddlers yester day at the low price of 90 cents a crate. The peddlers were allowed to go into the cars and select fancy lots. These same can teloupes. or rather what the street vendors leave, the Jobbtng houses have to get 11.75 to $2.25 for. The result Is that business in this line on the street is demoralized. Re tailers are buying from the street wagons and good fruit cannot be moved In the produce district. It Is claimed that the cutting Is being done for spite, as the big Jobbers re fused to accede to the assolcatlon's terms. Much feeling la expressed by the Portland trade and It Is probable the local produce or ganization will take up the matter and try and prevent such demoralization in the future. Merchants who are permanently established here do not consider It right that outsiders, who have no interest In the market except the disposal of their produce, should be al lowed to Invade the market for a week or so and then move on to some other point, and at the same time demoralize trade by cutting prices to pieces. OREGON WOOLS IN THE EAST. Merchants Pleased With the Appearance of the Shanlko Clip. Eastern advices report the market for Ore gon wools at Boston as quiet, but buyers are Interested and a better business Is antici pated. New Shanlko wools are arriving there and are reported to be In excellent condition, very handsome. In fact, according to all ex pert opinion. Sample bags have been moved. The market there Is quoted at 2414 to 25 cents, and the scoured basis 73 to 73 cents for staple. Reviewing the general situation In the East ern market the latest issue of the Boston Commercial Bulletin says: The market Is firm. The business of the week haH been completed without holders shading prices. Going rates are paid where buyers are in need. To force business would of course cause lower prices. But there Is no groat pressure to sell, no more than Is usually four.dr when merchants are ready and willing to . do business. Expert opinion Is that there will be little if any change in values in the Immediate future. It is proba bly true that prices are as high s they are likely to go. That there will be a serious break Is not considered. But most dealers feel that the market will do well to sustain It self on the present level and are not, there fore, anticipating any advance. FRUIT DEMAND SLOWER. Surplus May Not Work Oft Unless Freight Embargo Is Lifted. It being the first of the month, the demand for fruks and vegetables was not so brisk as it has been of late. Receipts were large and a considerable quantity wae carried over, but will doubtless be worked off satisfactorily today, unless the Northern raclflo embargo on freight continues. Among the day's re ceipts waa a car of peaches lrf poor condi tion, some of the Jobbers rejeoting their lots. Apples are very plentiful ami cheap and It 1 a surprise to the trade that they do not move better in view of the high prices of other fruit. Offerings of new Oregon potatoes are liberal, but buyers are not taking hold freely yet. Spring Chickens Weaker. There was no change In the market for country produco beyond a weakening In the price of Spring chickens, receipts of which are far tog numerous. Old hens continue to sell well. i?RKs are moving fairly well at quotations and the quality continues to Improve. BuLter and cheese are unchanged. Advance in Package Coffee. There was another advance of -cent a pound in Arbuckle's coffee yesterday. There was no change in Lion coffee and the 2-cent differential was again established. Bank Clearings.

STOCKS ON THE RISE Advance Is.Resumed With Ag gressivs Force. - TOP PRICES OF MOVEMENT Pacifies Are Leaders in the Cpward Flight United States Steel Div idend the Leading Sub ject of Interest. NEW YORK, Aug. 1. The rise in stocks, which has ehown a somewhat halting tendency this week, waa resumued with aggressive force today. Prices were swept to a higher level throughout by well distributed buying orders and the market broadened materially from the recent congestion In a few of the market leaders. Dealings rose to well over 1,000.000 shares and to the largest total of dally salea of the present upward movement. The favor ite speculative stocks, however, continued well In the forefront of the movement, especially the Pacifies, Including In that term the whole of the transcontinental group. It was in that group almost alone that the advance has car ried prices to above the level touched In June at the height of the first recovery after the shock of the San Francisco disaster. The United States Steel dividend was the leading subjact of Interest in the day's market. The assignment of the Vi per cent dividends to two quarterly periods preceding was looked upon as Indicating In some respects a recon sideration of the policy formerly determined upon and these new departures) were attributed to the influence of the directors previously absent, especially J. P. Morgan, to whose financial leadership and opinions the mass of habitual stock market operators attach more Importance than any other single guiding force. The speculative sentiment was disposed to accept the United States) Steel dividend actios as a proclamation of a policy of enlarged distribution to stockholders as a means of deriving active demand for securities for the purpose of effecting an absorption 01 mo plethora now In the market. The St. Paul movement has as a speculative Incentive a rumor that the Union Pacific control has projects in view looking to the larser control of St. Paul. An explicit dis claimer of these rumors by the president of the Union Paclflo was met by the suggestion that the end might be attained by making Southern Paclflo the nominal center in the supposed arrangement. Little attention was paid to any otner mat ters in the day's dealings. The renewed un- settlemeet in foreign markets on account or the new outbreak of violence In Russia was of no apparent effect here. There was enor mous proflt-taklng during the first nour, at tracted by the Budden opening advances, but the selling was confidently absorbed through out and the closing was Arm, near tne oesc. United States bonds were unchanged on call. CLOSINQ ema nuuiAJiuno. Closing Sales. .High. Low. Bid. iK? SSS?.::: iv. ioiii Am Car & Fdy... 8.4O0 38 38 3 do. preferred 400 100'g 100-;t 100-4 Am.

On the decline prices reached a new low record mark tor the season. Late In the session the market rallied and almost all of the loss was regained. September opened c and e to c and a higher at 74 to 74c sold at 74c and then declined to 7373c. The close on September waa at 73S74c a loss of Vic. The corn market was firm early In the day.
