Of all the Western wool on the Eastern
market, Oregon stock Is one of the liveliest
tellers, according to advices Just received.
Quite & few 50-bale lots have been moved at
Boston at 74075 cents for Eastern No. 1
staple and at U768 cents for No. 1 clothing.
Other transactions of Importance are reported
to be on the point of consummation. In this
state things are rapidly quieting down. A
few small transactions have taken place this
week east of the mountains at a range of
IS to 19 cent
The Beason la also practically closed In
other parts of the "West. Montana Is cleaned
up with the exception of 5,000,000 to 7,000,000
pounds, the greater part of which will prob
ably be sold before the season closes. Most
Of the buyers are ready to start East. Closing
ales were made at 21(g22 cents for clips
running fine to fine medium, and 23(324
cents for medium wools. The well-known Batr
clip, for which a bid of 2Mi cents was re
fused, has been consigned to a Boston house.
It la said that the clip will run close to
1,500,000 pounds, and Is of long, firm staple.
Another Boston dealer picked up a 300,000
pound clip at 24 cents, while sj.Hl another
corral ed a clip of the same size at 21 cents.
Prices within the past few days have advanced
2 to 3 cents a scoured pound over those ruling
some ten days ago. It is estimated that the
Clio of Montana Is a little more than 30,
000.000 pounds. The average price paid was
about 20 cents. About three-quarters of the
clip has been bought by Boston firms.
Reviewing the Eastern situation, the Boston
Commercial Bulletin of August 11 says:
The merchants who are enjoylna a more
active business believe that the dullness of
the past several months is over, and the
market Is now starting on its upward course.
Those dealers who, on the contrary, are not
having the activity that their brother mer
chants claim to be experiencing, are not at
all discouraged by the lack of Important busi
ness, but are waiting complacently for the
tide to turn, for they know full well that
manufacturers will perforce have to purchase
supplies before long. It Is quite generally ad
mitted that the majority of the mills axe
dally arriving nearer to bare boards. Since
last October there have been no large pur
chases of territory wool, on this market, and
foreign wool has not been bought In quantity
during the past five or six rnonthB. but never
theless the mills have been running steadily
and continuously, with a resultant consump
tion of large quantities of wool.
FRESH EGOS SCARCER.
Steady Demand for Poultry Butter Cleans
ITp Btter.
Opinion Is divided on Front street .as to the
condition of the egg market, but the majority
of dealers report improvement In the demand.
There is no doubt that fresh Oregon ranch
stock Is becoming scarcer.
Poultry prices were unchanged yesterday.
The weekly circular letter of a Front-etreet
firm says of the poultry market:
Receipts thus far this week have been fair,
but not excessive, and with a fair demand
stocks have cleaned up nicely. As for some
weeks past, the principal demand Is for good
hens, but large Springs will also sell very
well, as there does not seen to be enough old
hens at this writing. We have been selling
both hens and Springs at a flat price of 14
cents for the past few days, and are of the
, opinion that If receipts next week are not too
heavy, prices will remain about as they are.
Small Springs are not wanted, and we advise
producers and shippers to hold these until
they are of at least 2 pounds average. There
Is apparently a fair demand for large young
geese at UglO centa Ducks, If young and
large, will also sell at 1213 cents. Turkeys
are firm at 1518 cents on old, and nice Spring
turkeys that will go from 4 to 6 pounds each
will sell for a premium over this price of from
6 to 6 cents If shipped In early.
City creameries report a good movement In
butter. Twenty-six cents Is still quoted a the
top, but a considerable quantity Is sold at 25
cents.
MINNEAPOLIS GETS WORMY PEACHES.
Carload Turned Down Here Bells In Eastern
City at Good Price.
Fruit Inspection at Minneapolis evidently Is
not as strict as It Is here. The car of wormy
California peaches that County Fruit Inspector
Delch refused to allow unloaded here tome
time ago has turned up at the Minnesota city.
It was not only accepted but disposed of at
a price that netted the shipper $150 more than
the fruit would have brought here even If It
had been sound.
Not much came in from the South yester
day except watermelons. There were 11 cars
of these and they were well handled. No
California cantaloupes arrived until too late
for business, but a few. were received from
Taklma, which sold readily at $2.75 to 3.
They were much superior to the Oregon can
taloupes that have come in so far.
A shipment of cherries was received from
La Grande In very poor order. The lot was
turned over to street hawkers.
Dressed Meats Steady.
There Is a steady demand for veal, and
fancy offerings weighing from 75 to 120
pounds move readily at 8 cents. Small and
medium hogs are reported In good demand
U 6'j cents. Other dressed meats are quiet

DDE
NOT SO
Day of Feverish Impatience in
Wall Street.
EXCITEMENT IN PACIFICS
Operators Still at Sea on Question
of Harriman Dividends Although
Announcement Is Withheld,
Prices Are Sustained.
NEW YORK, Aug. 18. tVall street spent
day of feverleh Impatience' in the expectation
of eelng the solution of the riddle of the ex
cited speculation In Union Pacific and South
era Pacific. The excitement continued at hlKh
pitch in those stocks. It wu initiated by the
delays in the assembling; of the authorities
having tha decision of the question of divi
dends of the two stocks. As 11:30 A. M.
is the uuai hour for the assembling of the
committee, the dealings on the stock exchange
seemed approaching a culmination as that
time drew near. The delay was explained as
being due to the attendance of the member,
at a funeral. Other explanations' were forth
coming as the delay was prolonged. The
day paned without a solution of the riddle.
The - uninformed speculative following of
the buying of the stocks was somewhat dazed
by this course of procedure. The movement
of the .tocks, however, showed but slight ef
fect from this condition of unsettlemcnt. Their
sustained strength was attributed to a con
viction that a decision on the dividends to be
paid had been arrived at, although the an
nouncement was withheld. The market fell
Into Intense dullness during the midday -period.
Speculative feeling continued at a high
tension, however. In the mood of uncertalntj
as to what the action of the imarket would ba
after the expected good news was crut. Con
fidence in the action to be taken was too
strong to allow much room for influence of
any scattered skepticism. But on the subject
of how tha market would act If speculative
hopes were all fulfilled there was great di
versity of opinion. Hence the mid-session
halt in the trading and the sagging tendency
of prices on the part of those seeking to guard
against a profit-taking reaction.
The action of the money market was a re
straining influence on any disposition to run
Into speculative excesses. The average rate
for call loans during the day was higher
than yesterday, in spite of some substantial
replenishment of local money supplies. The
largest part of this was shown In the pay
ment by the Subtreasury of $2,810,000 trans
ferred by telegraph from San Francisco, and
which was on account of Australian gold, a
consignment of which, was received In San
Francisco on . Tuesday. Regular Subtreasury
operations are also yielding something to the
banks, with the month's pension payments
running at the flood tide. On the other hand,
the deposit of $100,000 at the Subtreasury
for telegraphic transfer to St. Louis was of
a sensational effect as a distinct evidence of
tha force of the harvesting demands, which
may be counted upon to take many millions
out of New York when once It Is under way.
The figures of the foreign trad, for July
were not reassuring in the exchange situation,
although the future movement of the crops Is
largely depended upon to move gold In this
direction. The expansion of upwards of $22,
000.000 In the value of July Imports and the
relatively small growth In exports, leaves the
exceps value of exports for the month only
$3,028,950, as compared with $23,417,815 in
July last year.
The strength in Pennsylvania made an ac
tive market for tha convertible bonds, of
which large holdings were left in' th. hands
of the syndicate when it was dissolved. The
reaction In prices which followed the an
nouncement that no dividend action would be
reported from the Union Pacific and Southern
Pacific meetings was resisted. The view was
apparently taken that the stocks were in a
stronger .position with the mystery still on
than if formal announcement of dividend ac
tion had been made. The action of the St.
Paul directors in offering the $25,000,000 of
treasury Btock to stockholders at par, thus
confirming a long standing expectation, en
couraged confidence in the dividend hopes on
the Pacifies. There was heavy realizing Just
at the last in Southern Pacific, and the clos
ing was In consequence unsettled and irregular.
Bonds were Irregular. Total sales, $2,350,
000. United States bonds were all un
changed on call.

ESTIMATING- PRUNE CROP
GROWERS BELIEVE PACKERS'
REPORTS' ARE UNFAIR.
J. E. Towle, of Salem, Saysv Condi
tions Have Been Misrepresented.
Tendency to Bear Market.
SALEM, Or., Aug. 16. SpecIaI.) Prune
growers in this vicinity think the packers
have been given all the advantage in the
prune-crop reports published in this and other
states, and declare that the conditions do
not warrant the low prices that have been
quoted for prunes. Rather, they say that
the packers have taken an advantage, for the
figures that have been published regarding the
crop in this state have been given out by
packers or buyers, and not by growers. Some
of the growers think the situation has been
misrepresented.
J. E. Towle, a successful prunegrower at
Shaw, In this county, is one of these. Ha
says the packers have been permitted to mis
represent croo conditions through the news
papers, and that the information they have
given out has had a tendency to bear the
market. The report that has become general
regarding the crop situation is that tha North
west States will produce 40,000,000 pounds,
which Is in excess of the bumper crop of
1903. "Jlr. Towle does not undertake to give
figures on the amount of the crop this year,
but says that his information, based upon
actual inspection of orchards, is that tha
crop will not be mors than two-thirds that of
1903. He says that, although tha early In
dications were that the crop would equal that
of 1903, the long dry spell has made a great
change in the condition of tha crop. There
has been an unusually heavy drop, fie says,
and the prunes will not grow to as large a
size as usual, with the result that the total
weight of prunes produced will be much lees
than In 1903. when weather conditions were
more favorable. Mr. Towle wants to record
his estimate of the prune crop, and says
that when the harvest Is over the returns will
bhow that the packers and buyers have over
estimated the yield for effect. Mr. Towle
has already sold his prunes, and is therefore
aot Interested financially In the future of the
market, except that he wants to see all prune
growers get a fair price for their product.
S. P. Kimball, manager of the Salem Co
operative Cannery, who Is an extensive grower
of prunes at Dallas, is another grower who
thinks the packers have reduced quotations to
a lower figure than conditions warrant. He
says that he hears of no growers selling at
present quotations, and does not believe there
will be any. He Is confident that there will
be a reaction, bringing prices up to a paying
basis, and he is not worrying over the situa
tion. Growers who have no dryers, but who de
pend upon selling their fruit green, are the
ones that are likely to feel the depressed con
dition of the prune market most. Owners
of evaporators who buy prunes must regulate
prices according to the present market. A
bushel of prunes will dry out to about IS
pounds of cured fruit. In ordinary seasons
a crop will average in the 40-50s size, but
this year growers are counting on prunes going
no better than 50-60 to the pound. On a
1-cent basts, which is now quoted, the
50-60 prunes would be worth 2 cents' a
pound, or 44 cents for the dry product of
a bushel of green prunes. It costs half a
cent a pound to dry the fruit, or 9 cents
for the 18 pounds a bushel will produce. This
leaves 36 cents the owner of a dryer can
expect to get for a bushel of prunes, and if
he counts on making a profit to oover use of
dryer, chances of loss by fire, trouble of re
selling, interest on money, etc., he must buy
for about 30 cents.
In seasons when prunes were of a larger
size and the market was more promising, 40
to 60 cents a bushe! has been paid for fresh
prunes, but owners of evaporators will not ba
able to pay that price this year.
