THE MORNING OREGOXIAN, TUESDAY, MAY 7," 1907. .7 J i CROP IS BACKWARD But Conditions in Middle West Not Hopeless. NORTHERN PACIFIC REPORT Seeding of Spring W heat Has Been a Quarter Completed Damages in Southwest not as Great as Indicated. A very strong ton pervaded the wheat toarket yesterday, but the pricea quoted were no higher, except on Valley wheat, the supply ot whk-h la becoming limited. Tha demand for wheat la good from all quarters, but the keenest Inquiry Is from tha milling trade, which finds It difficult to keep up with Its Oriental ordera for flour. There Is also a strong demand from China and Japan for wheat. Some wheat business is being .dons on European ac count, but not much. There Is still a firm demand from California, but what would be a large movement In- that direction is re stricted by the lack of steamship facilities. There Is an active local demand for flour and both local and export prices are very firm, but no Intimation Is given of a pros pective advance in either grades. Much interest Is shown by the local trade In the prospects for the coming crop in the Pacific Northwest, but It Is too early yet to form a definite conclusion. Whiter wheat is reported to be looking well In all sections. A change In the weather is anxiously awaited, so that the sowing of the Cpring crop can be completed. Beerbohm's latest summary of foreign crop conditions follows: United Kingdom, France and Italy Weather too cold for favorable growth, but outlook generally fa vorable; supplies smaller. Germany Waather cold and unseasonable, checking growth: supplies exceedingly scarce and very dear. Hungary Weather rather un favorable; heavy floods. Roumania 25 per cent of Winter wheat Winter-killed. Russia Outlook unchanged. Bulgaria Moder ate complaints of Winter-killing. Turkey Kuropean outlook unsatisfactory; A.latto very unfavorable. Rpatn and North Africa Conditions unchanged. India Government confirms damage in the Punjab. Argen tine Strike at Guenos Ayres not serious; wheat seeding at 8anta Fe under favorable conditions; corn moving slowly, unsatisfac tory Quality; weather unsettled; heavy Ar gentine wheat shipments predicted the next three weeks. 7he weekly grain statistics of the Port land Merchants' Exchange follow: American visible supply Bushels.

While it la generally believed that a con siderable surplus of the 1906 hop crop of the Coast will be carried over into next season, hop dealers and growers alike real ise that It would not take much to turn the tide of prices at the present time. There Is no certainty about the coming crop in any part of the world. It may prove, like recent crops, excessive in size, and, again, the yield may be disappointing. . If short crops are indicated in a few of the prin cipal producing countries, prices should not long remain at the current unremuneratlve level. It will not be long before something is known about the probable size of the next. crop, but Just now everyone la In the dark. Rain U today badly needed in the Oregon and Washington yards, but there Is still a chance for the time lost tn cultivating to be made up. If the growers feel so disposed, and labor and teams are available. Reports from California are conflicting, some in dicating a light crop and others a produc tion equal to last year's. The New York yards present the appearance usual at this time of year, and the. roots are said to have wintered fairly well. Nothing defi nite has been received from England ex cept that the roots generally wintered well, and the same report cornea from Germany. In commenting on brewery consolidation, and Incidentally on hop prices, a keen Wall street broker la quoted in an Eastern paper as saying: "If I were not tied up in several weighty enterprises, I wouldn't aek any better op portunity than the hop market offers for a big winning. A few men of nerve and capital could easily find a bonanza in It. Take a year like this, when there is an ap parent surplus and prices are low; get 30- day options on everything tn sight; scatter your surplus In the yards as fertilizer, or burn it; then jack up the prices on the stock you hold and announce that you'll keep jacking up about. 5 per cent every week. Wouldn't you get action?" CITY CREAMERY BITTER IS STEADY But Market for Outalde Brands Shows an - Eater Tone. The city demand for creamery butter con tinues heavy, but the shipping inquiry feels the effect of low-priced offers recently made from here. While the local trade is large, it Is not enough to take care of alt the production, and unless there Is another outlet for the surplus, prices on outside creamery brand cannot be maintained. There was a better Inquiry yesterday from California for country-store butter, which made the market for this article firmer. Eggs were decidedly weak. A few scat tered sales may have been made in single- case lots at 18 He, but the actual market waa nearer 18c. Receipts were only mod erate, but the demand was very light. But little poultry was received during the day and the few coops carried over from last week were slow In moving. STRAWBERRIES IN" HEAVY SUPPLY Six Hundred Crates Arrive From California, Pricea Are Lower. , Front street was very liberally supplied with strawberries yesterday. Six- hundred crates came in from California, and these, with what wore carried over from Saturday, proved more than sufficient. Pricea dropped to $176125 per crate. About two-thirds of tha day's arrivals were Jessies, and the remainder Dollars. Ten crates of Southern Oregon berries wera received lata in the day and were held at 23 cents per pound. Four cars of oranges, three of them Medit erranean sweets and one navels, came In during the day. and four cars of bananas arrived last night. A car of cabbage was received from Los Angeles. Oregon hothouse cucumbers are arriving more freely, and bring 12.25 per dozen. The potato market is slow. Wool Sales in Eastern Oregon. The Eastern Oregon wool market is show ing more activity. A number of sales of fairly large clips, aggregating several -hundred thousand pounds, were reported yes terday. Most of the lots were light wool and brought around 17 cents. Bank Clearings.

Mav 6. The Indecisive tone of speculative sentiment in the stock mar ket waa reflected today m me fiuotnuiiAns At nr4i-. Evidently the re ports of poor crop conditions weigh on the market and leave small inducement to enter upon large commitments until tne aciuM. conditions of the wheat crop are clearly understood. Industrious efforts were maae to soothe apprehension of crop aamage connection with the early effort today to lif nrices of stocks. The msennoou u. exaggeration In statements made for specu lative effect upon the grain markets was pointed out, and It was said the Government report next Friday would prove a much less discouraging document man curiam reports Indicate. The effect of these state ments waa helped by the initial decline in the price of wheat when trading began In MmmMtltv. hut the later violent up turn in wheat proved too much for the stock traders, and they reversea uu nnslllnn Union' Pacific was an Important factor on the course of the whole market, as ior some time past. That stock was affected by reports of new steps In the Government orMvitk Bflrainst the Harrtman combination of railroads. News nd rumors from Wash ington were given a good deal of renewed nttention in the day's market. Further n.nM in th ftnvern ment' s Drosecutlon of the Standard Oil Company were reported to be at hand, and It was reported that. In his intended address on uecoranon u , President Roosevelt will deal with the ques tinn rf ftnvemment control of railroads. The Saturday's bank statement came In for some unfavorable criticism, owing to the rapid rate of loan expansion which has been going on for several weeks. Lenders of money, while offering declining rates for short-term loans, show their feeling of the falling money rates by refusing to make .nans for nerlods carrying over to that M.v.nn. The keenness of the Paris com petition for gold in London and a harder tone of the discount market In Paris today wat a feature in the international exenange situation. The fact that sterling exchange continued to advance here brought prices verv near the level at which gold ship ments would be profitable to Paris.

Space. ST. PAUL. May 6. While crop conditions in the Northwest are backward, so far as seeding is concerned, . on account of cold weather, the condition is by no means hope less, according to reports received by the crop reporting department of the Northern Pacific RaiTroad. The latest advices in dicate that seeding Is more than three wetrfts later than a year ago, and it is es timated that 25 to 30 per cent of the seed ing has been completed. Comparing the nrcieress made bv the farmer this year with that of last year Is no Indication that this is an unusually backward season, as seeding a year ago was finished at the unu sually early date of May 1. So far this vear the erround has frozen nearly every night, making plowing very difficult, but there is still plenty of time to gex me wheat seeding done If no more extreme cold weather Interferes. The abundance of snow upon the ground and the late moisture Is looked upon as a benefit rather than a hindrance. SEES jjO CAUSE FOR A I ARM. Secretary Wilson Says Prospects for Normal Wheat Yield Are Good. CHICAGO, May 6. The reports of damage to the crops, which have been numerous of late, owing to the unseasonable weather and the ravages of bugs, have been greatly ex aggerated, according to James Wilson, Secre tary of Agriculture, who i in Chicago to night, j "Spring seeding Is a little backward," he said, "on account of the cold weather, but there ia plenty of time between now and the last of September to grow a crop of all kinds of icraln. "In Minnesota and the Dakota, where we get most ofur Spring wheat, seeding has been delayed about two weeksv but with a few daya of warm Funphine planting will be in full process. While the weather has been unrea sonably cold In some districts, it ha not been severe eonugh to retard plowing, and my Ad vices are that the ground In these states has been nearly all made ready to receive the eed. We will have warm weather in a few da3 now, and I do not ee what is to pre vent a normal crop of Spring wheat in these states. As regard the condition In the Northwest, the claims being mad: that this year s nar vest will be seriously diminished may have some foundation. According to what I con sider authentic advices from that sectloft, the weather has been eo "cold that plowing naa been almost Impossible. In past years the Canadian farmer has generally left nis plow ing for the Spring, and this year he finds himself in a bad predicament. ln a normal year seeding would be about finished in Man itoba and adjoining province, but I am told that today the farmers there have not got the ground ready for receiving the seed if the weather was favorable for this work. How ever, auch a condition in the Canadian North west won't make a great deal of difference when thl Year's crop ia harvested. ine Canadian farmer grows but a small proportion of the total crop of wheat, and 1 am or tne opinion that the deficiency there, if there be any, will hardly be noticed when harvesting throughout the world has been completed. "In the Southwest there have been numer- out reports for the past three weeks of dam age being wrought by green DUgs. inese re ports of damage to the Winter wheat have been grossly exasperated. I am in a position where I get as good information as anybody regarding the growing crop, while 1 have naa many reports about the green Dug, ine Dam age wrought by these insects has been local in every instance and there has not been any general attack by this pest, as some people are endeavoring to make It appear. From my knowledge of the Southwest, where so much of our Winter wheat is grown, the advices at hand lead me to believe that that district will have its usual crop thla year. This ap plies to oats and corn as well as wheat. The crops as a whole may be delayed somewhat in Hnentna:. but not enough to cause any ap prehension. Corn will suffer most, a plowing for this crop haa been delayed considerably, but I see no cause for apprehension. "There Is considerable grain grown between Washington and Chicago, and from my per sonal observation of this part of the United States, I can state without any reservation that . I never in my life saw brighter prospects than those of the present. Taken as a Whole I see no cause for complaint, and I think it will be found by threshing time that all this cry of crop damage has been made for a pur pose. Damage Reports Exaggerated. Tf atv-sas CTTT. Mo.. Mav 6. T. J. Broad- nax, president of the Kansas City Board of Trade, said today: "There seems to be a difference of opln ion amone the dealers as to damage to crops in this part of the Southwest as a result of the recent com rains ana rreez ing weather. The opinion predominates that the grain has not suffered as much as re ported. It will be a week before anything definite Is known." SHARP , ADVANCE IX CHICAGO PIT July Wheat Shows a Gain of About IVi Cents. CHICAGO, May . The sharp upturn of the wheat market was caused by a revival of the fear of damage by the gren bug and the weather. The belief that the acreage sown to Spring wheat will be much small er than usual because of the cold weather also strengthened the market. The wheat pit was flooded with damafte reports from all sections of the country. The report causing the greatest disquietude came from Winnipeg, and claimed that the wintry weather in the Northwest had caused a shortage of from 25 to 40 per cent in the wheat acreage of the Canadian Northwest and declared that the same conditions pre vail in Minnesota and the Dakotas. A sharp advance in prices at Winnipeg partly con firmed this report. Although weather con ditions In the West and Southwest were much more favorable for the growing crops, damage reports from those sections were as numerous today as heretofore, the claim being made that the warmer weather is bringing out more clearly the effect of the I previous drouth. Trading was very active all day.- The marxet opened weaK necause of the reports of wet weather in Iansas, Nebraska and other Winter wheat states. Lower prices at Liverpool also encouraged the bears. Before the end of the first hour sentiment changed, and during the remainder of the day the prevailing senti ment was extremely bullish. Commission houses led in the buying. The market closed strong, with July l?lHc higher at 85 c. The corn market was weak early In the day on active selling by elevator interests, but later rallied In sympathy with wheat. Pit traders took the larger part of the of ferings. The market closed firm. Oats were sold freely at the opening, be cause of wet weather in the West and Southwest. The market for a time was quite weak. Damage reports from Kansas and Indiana, together with the strength of wheat, -brought about a substantial rally later in the day. The market closed firm. provisions opened weak, because of a lower market for live hogs, but later the ''market became strong on active buying. The demand for lard and ribs was especially brisk.
