HIDES AGAIN LOWER
Markets Are Depressed AH
Over the Country.
TANNERS ARE HOLDING OFF
Claim There Is Xo Profit at the
Present Prices Iarge Supply
of Poor Strawberries
Received.
'The local hide market is in a very un
satisfactory condition, as a result of the
long-oontinud depression In the East. The
supply in dealers' hands is excessive and
stocks are still being freely offered. Tan
ners seem to be engaged in a systematic
effort to bear down prices. They claim they
have made no 'money on their hides and de
mand concessions before they will consider
offers. In view of these conditions local
prices show a further decline.
The latest mail advices say of the
market there: -
Trade in domestic hides continues to Im
prove as the season advances for shorter
haired stock. Most varieties of branded
hides suitable for sole leather are in steady
request and Arm in price, and no lower
rates have been established on native
steers, but native cows continue very weak
and the market on these now is not quot
able over 12c for February and March salt
ing. There have been some fair-sized sale
of Texas steers at Kansas City and othr
packing points, aggregating 10.0OO to 15.0OQ.
and the prices secured wore on the basis of
14 6 13c for heavy weights, according to
date of salting. Butt brands and brandt-d
cows are not selling as well as Texas and
Colorados, as the present demand Is mostly
for heavy sole leather and tanners havs
sccumulations of light stock that was pro
duced last year from cow hides. Country
hides are still neglected and weak, but the
market on buffs is no lower, and some
parties in the trade believe that as the
decline in count ry hides has been so rapid
ind uninterrupted a reaction is due. For
eign dry hides, continue weak and buyers
ire making bids at ,c under last selling
prices, which, if accepted, will register a
drop In Latin-American varieties from top
rates of 2c per pound. The markets of
Europe and other parts of the world aro
weak and sales of China dry hides have
been made down to I0d c. 1. f- New York.
CALIFORNIA BERRIES LKSS THAN" COST
X
Overripe Stock Taken rosseasion of by
Peddlers.
The strawberry market was not in the
best of shape yesterday. The demand for
good, sound fruit was all right, but the
market was weakened by the receipt of a
considerable quantity of overripe California
berries. These were of necessity, sold for
what they would bring. The peddlers and
hawkers took charge of them and some
went "as low as $1.15 per crate. Ftrst.-class
offerings sold at $1.73 to . $2.25 per crate.
Thirty-one crates of Oregon berries were re
ceived, but because of the abundance of
cheap California fruit, they were slow sale
at 20 cents per pound.
Other receipts were three cars of Med
iterranean Sweets, five cars of green ba
nanas and two of Los Angeles cabbage.
Small vegetables, were plentiful and gen
eral y sold at steady prices.
EGG MARKET 13 SLl'GGISH.
Car of Eastern Stock Arrives and Goes
Into Cold Storage
There is no improvement in tho- egg
market. Receipts are large., JocaX buying
small and the shipping demand indifferent.
Prices are barely maintained around the
18-cent msrk. A car of Eastern eggs ar
rived yesterday and was at once put Into
cold storage.
Poultry arrivals were heavy and old hens
were quoted cent lower. There was
practically no demand for roosters. Springs
continue in excellent request.
The city creameries reported a strong
butter market with a good local and out
side inquiry. The demand on Front street
was fair.
Country Butter Not Suitably Packed.
A good deal of country store butter Is
finding Its way to market now and there is
a good California demand for it. Dealers
find much to complain of in the manner in
hich shippers send the product to market.
Very little care is shown by the average
shipper In sending in supplies and all sorts
of unclean boxes are used for packing
cases. That is why the shippers frequently
find the returns unsatisfactory. There Is
several cents difference in the price paid
according to the neatness with which the
butter is put up. It would also be well for
the shippers to pack the round and the
square rolls separately.
Linn County Crops Need Rain.
ALBANY. Or., May 7- (Special.) Owing
to the continued dry weather last month the
acreage of spring grain in Linn County
this vear will be almost 30 per cent les
thun In the average year. Not only will
the grain yield be less on this account,
but rain Is badly needed to bring out the
crop already sown. The ground is now
very hard and dry and it is almost too
late to sow any more grain even should it
rain this week. The present condition is
causing considerable alarm among farmers,
for, in addition to the shortage In Spring
grain, the acreage of Fall grain is also
smaller than usual. The long season of
dry weather last Fall, followed by a con
tinued period of excessive wet weather, pre
vented the sowing of as large an acreage
as in past years.

DEMAND HAS FALLEN OFF
Rumors' of a Xew Union Pacific Is
sue Crop Prospects Are a Dis
turbing Influence in the
Market.
NEW YORK. May 7. The professional op
erators in stocks had the market to them
selves today. They found the line of least
resistance to be downward and accordingly
sold and offered prices down to seek a profit
upon the short side of the market. The sen
timent of the day was one of depression, fos
tered by several considerations. Probably the
roost effective of these was the abandonment
of the recent operations for the rise in a
handful of stocks which have made up the
largest proportion of the dealings for a con
siderable time past. The perception of the
fact that profits were being taken in thee
stocks and the running out of the demand
for them aroused the suspicion of a manipu
lative origin for the extensive advances which
have- occurred and affected the tone, of the
whole market in consequence. Union Pacific
and Reading have made up the bulk of the
recent market and their relapse today did. not
leave room for the escape of the general list.
The check to the rise In Reading was rein
forced by the marked -weakness In Delaware
&. Hudson, which developed yesterday and
continued today. The pressure on thia stock
had the appearance of liquidation. Report of
new financing involving issue of new securi-,
ties were among the attempted explanations.
Union Pacific also was the subject of recur
rent rumors of an lesue of new securities to
finance its requirements.
The crop prospects- continued to be a disturb
ing influence in the stock market, in spite --of
the pubHshed views of a number of compe
tent authorities in a tone of warning against
exaggerated fears for the crops at the present
stage. The weekly bulletin of the Weather
Bureau gave concise information, however, of
a decidedly unfavorable condition over a large
part of the Winter wheat region. Traders In
stocks were inclined to discount an unfavor
able report from the Agricultural Department
on Friday. The longshoremen's strike wae re
garded as an unpleasant incident in its pos
sible effect on railroad traffic centering here.
Covering by ahorta caused a recovery of part
of the day's declines. Atchison developed some
strength, attributable to more favorable views
of the controvertible bond issues.
Bonds were irregular. Total sales, par
value, $1,564,000. - United States bonde were
unchangpj on call.

Road May Be Sold Again.
Negotiations are pending between Port
land and Kastern capitalists and Receiver
J. F. Reddy. of the Medford & Crater
Lake1 Railroad, for the purchase of th
property. The Oregon Trust & Savings
Bank Is acting as agent in the transac
tion. The Crater Lake road was recently
put up for forced sale and the highest bid
was that of Walling Bros., who offered
162,500. It was thought by the receiver
that this sum does not represent the real
value of the road and it is being held for
a possible increase over that amount If
any one offers a 10 per cent advance over
the bid the court may hold another sale
or it may also decline to accept the'
bid offered. Tt is thought that the
present negotiations will be concluded
successfully.
