Portland Dealers Purchasing
Around 18 Cents.
EASTERN OREGON QUIET
Firmer Tone on Valley Grades, but
Prices Not Yet Advanced Gen
eral Situation in the West,
The London Market,
Portland wool buyers tiava picked np a
few Ioti of new Idaho wool In the last few
days on the basis of 18 cents tor gooa aver
ee Quality, but very little trading has
been done In Eastern Oregon. Shearing Is
now general In that section of the state, out
only a limited quantity of the clip has
reached the warehouses. In some quarters
of the trade It Is thought probable that
the market will attain some degree of
activity prior to the opening of the sched
irfed sealed-bid sales, but others look for
no movement before the sales days.
Shearing Is commencing in the Willamette
Valley and It will not be long before some
of the clips are on the market. Prices do
not show as much weakness as they did
since the advance tn coarse wools was re
corded at London, but the buyers still
have their limit fixed at 20 cents for
Valley wools and this limit is not likely to
be raised until Boston responds to the Tilgn
r nrices abroad.
Advices from other sections of the West
Indicate a rather backward movement. In
Utah there Is small trading at 16c to 17c
for heavy clips and up to 21c for light
Borne Wyoming clips were put up ana Din;
of 16c to 10c refused. Several clips have
been consigned to Boston and Philadelphia
parties. In Nevada there Is trading at 17e
to 18c-
There are plenty of buyers tn all the pro
duclng sections of the West, but they are
waiting. The conservative talk of Boston
merchants previous to the opening of the
season Is bearing fruit In the hold-off policy
of buyers. Nobody has broken loose aa yet
and trading is inactive compared to the
excitement which has prevailed at this
time during the past few years. The wish
may be father to the thought, .but It Is
stated that prices are working lower ail
through. the West In the transactions re
ported, however, there Is not much change
shown from the prices obtained on previous
deals.
Regarding the change In the tone of the
English market a Boston wool writer says
Table advices from London are more en
couraxlntr. It appears now that the early
weakness developed at the auction sales was
due more to the quality of the orrerings man
to any tendency toward lower values. The
market this week has ruled stronger as the
offerings improved In quality. On Monday
last crossbred were cabled as- distinctly
firmer and since then this tendency ha
been maintained. Competition nas Deen
keen. The extent of tl.e purchases for the
United States so far is not known, but It
Is believed that only a small quantity has
been secured.

DRY MAINS CONDEMNED
United East Side Push Club Con
siders Charter Changes.
At the meeting of the United East
Side Push Club last night, Whitney
L. Boise presiding, charter amendments
were considered. Te club indorsed
mprovemeht of streets by districts.
the water bonds, the park bonds, dock
bonds, but declined to Indorse the sec
ond fire boat and dry mains for Are
protection, and condemned the ordi
nance regulating electric wiring. T'a
club discussed, but took no action on
the act creating a board of engineer
examiners, the free employment bureau.
the salary acts and the annexation of
territory. The club passed over the
SSO.l liquor license without "action.
Ail the acts that were indorsed were
thoroughly discussed before a vote was
taken. The remarks of Professor J.
T. Gregg, principal of the Hawthorne
school, regarding provisions for breath
ing spots in the city for the children
were heartily commended.
Joseph Buchtel, an old fipeman, spoke
gainst the 'dry" mains for fire pro
tection, as unnecessary. It was the
rote of the federated club that while
the fire boat was needed the dry mains
were not. but that in order to prevent
the mains being laid the whole bond
Issue of 2i5.00' would ha-e to be de
feated. In other words It would be
necessary to sacrifice the fire boat In
order to defeat the dry mains. Never
theless some strong talks were made
for the mains.
A communication was received from
Francis I. McKenna accompanied by a
check of $25 contributed toward $1000
to be raised to clean up and beautify
the Kast Side. The matter was con
tinued. The committee on creamtory re
ported that the purchase of a site on
the Kast Side had been abandoned, and
that the present plant would probably
be enlarged to take care of all the
ewage.
Asks 'Telephone rYanchie.
J. H. Thatcher, of the Pacific States
Telegraph & Telephone Company, was
present Inst night at the meeting of
the SU Johns Council and submitted a
franchise to main a telephone system
within the limits of St. Johns. Mr.
Thatcher Informed the Council that
without a franchise it was impossible
for the telephone company to Improve
the present telephone service for St.
Johns, and further that even the
present service was maintained at a
loss. The franchise would provide the
city with seven main line telephones
and $100 a year for 25 years. The
franchise was referred to the. City
Attorney to examine and report on at
the next meeting of the CouncN.

FEAR 15W0RLDW1DE
All Securities Markets De
pressed by Crop Prospects.
WALL STREET IS NERVOUS
Decline in Wheat Prices, Due to
Realizing, Does Xot Change
the Opinion of Some
Financiers.
NEW TORK, May U. Securities markets
at all the great centers ot capital were more
or less depressed today, and it seemed that
the Immediate compelling cause was the bad
outlook for the world's crops. This diagnosis
is not necessarily discredited by the fact that
stocks rose in New York yesterday when wheat
opened and that the reaction in the wheat
market today was accompanied by a decline
In stocks. The speculative conditions may be
advanced In explanation ot the seemingly con
tradictory movements. Besides the special ope
rations In yesterday's stock market designed
to sustain or lift prices. It was evident that
an outstanding short Interest was seeking to
take advantage of the bad crop news to cover
short contract. The fact that their cover
ing operations were effective In lifting prices
was significant of the narrow speculatlveinter
est in the present stock market, either on the
long or short aide, partly as a result of the
large diversion of speculative activity to the
commodities markets.
On the other hand, today's reaction In the
wheat market was attributed in large part to
the heavy selling to take profits induced by
the recent extensive 'advance in the price of
wheat. This reaction did not serve entirely to
relieve apprehension over the crop prospects.
The large shortage In the Winter wheat crop
already indicated makes the Spring wheat
seeding a matter of paramount Interest In the
terming of opinion in the markets. The wea
ther news from the Spring wheat region today
lndlcated conditions unfavorable for seeding.
The violent decline In Canadian Pacific was
traceable to this cause. That stock also re
flected the depressed condition tn forelan se
curities markets, owing to the large volume
of it in foreign hands. Last prices for stocks
showed no important recovery from the low
levels.
Bonds were heavy. Total ,n!pj. nnr v.lu.

AFTER THE PROFITS
Heavy Selling Causes a Slump
- of About Three Cents.
EXCITEMENT AT CHICAGO
Loss Is Practically All Regained
, Later on a Renewal of Bullish
Activity, Led by the Big Ad
vance at Minneapolis.
CHICAGO.JMay 14. The bull campaign in
wheat was mporarlly checked today by
enormous realizing sales which forced prices
down about 3 cents from the high points
of the day. Almost all of this loss, however,
was subsequently regained on renewal of
bullish activity, ths market closing strong
with the July delivery unchanged compared
with yesterday's final quotations. The Sep
tember and December options were eacb
'tc lower than yesterday's close.
The market opened amid intense excite
ment, and for a brief period U appeared as
if it might develop into a runaway affair
similar to that of yesterday. Initial quota
tions on the leading options ranged all the
way from He lower to 1 higher than the
previous close. Within a very short time,
however. It became evident that the climax
of the sensational advance had been reached
and that, temporarily at least, prices would
tend to seek a lower level. This was made
plain by a decline of 1 to 3 cents within
the first half hour of trading due to a
deluge of profit-taking orders that flooded
the pit. Overnight many commission
bouses had sent messages to all their cus
tomers advising them to "get from under"
and the ease with which prices slumped
off during the first few minutes clearly In
dicated that country speculators had quite
generally heeded the warning. Liquida
tion was exceedingly heavy all day, but
despite this liberal selling, prices several
times made fair rallies because of tlia
urgency of the demand from those specu
lators who still bejleve that the country's
crop will be Insuflclent to satisfy home
consumption and also provide for the prob
able requirements of European natlbns.
Much of today's selling was based on a de
cline of over 1 penny in the price of wheat
at Liverpool, but the larger part came
for those who thought that the market
had been overbought. Cold weather still
prevailed In the Spring wheat territory,
but rain and snow in Nebraska and Kan
sas gave inspiration to sellers. An advance
of l'jfcc in the price df wheat on the Min
neapolis curb was partly responsible for
the hiner prices here at the opening. The
market made a sharp advance during the
last few minutes, which was due to some
extent to a report that a heavy snow storm
was raging in the Northwest. The market
closed strong with all the loss regained.
July wheat opened Vi c higher at
96i&97c. sold off to 93c, rallied again to
96c and closed at 95H&95c. September
opened c lower to c higher at 97H
9S-je, sold off to 9505 He advanced
again to 9Sc and closed at 97H,974c. De
cember opened unchanged to higher at
99900. sold at $1 and then declined to
97c. Final quotations were at 98$98c.
The corn market was affected by the
slump in wheat and for the greater part
of the day sentiment In the pit was bear
ish. The close was easy. The oats market
was steady but weakened later on heavy
selling for profits. The price of cash grain
was off lb c Provisions were weakened by
active selttng of lard and ribs by a leading
local packer. The weaker tone of grain
acted also as a bearish factor.
