'.- v "' -- -A IT - THE MORIVIXU- OKEGOXIAIV, , THURSDAY, 31 AT 16, 1U07. AL i1 'J "4 f. 1 WHEAT HOLDS UP Local Prices Not Affected by Eastern Slumps. FIRM CALIFORNIA DEMAND Tramp Steamers Engaged to Help in the Coastwise Movement. Big Trade" In Straw berries. Th slumps -In the Eastern markets have had no ffect on local wheat prices. The recent sensational advances there stimu lated values In this section, hut with the declines at Chicago and New York no jt round has heea lost. The San Francisco market was stronger yesterday and the de mand for wheat from the South was ur gent. The transportation question, which has hindered the movement of wheat to California, will - probably be solved by the chartering of a number of tramp steamers. One, the Hyades, has already been engaged by McNear to carry 8800 tons of wheat to Port Costa and the Mackinaw will take 3500 tons. VUh the light remaining stocks In the Northwest and the strong lo cal milling and California demand, there is not much chance of this market working downwards, no matter what happens In the Kast. One of the leading grain merchants of this city estimates the stocks of wheat remaining In farmers hands in the Pacific Northwest at less than COO.000 bushels. There Is also a good demand from Cali fornia for oats, but the lack of steamer pace has kept shipments down. Barley is steadily held. The advance of 25 cents per barrel In lo cal flour prices, announced by the Portland Flouring Mills, took effect yesterday morn lng. HAWKERS AND JOBBING HOUSES Misleading Statement Published Regarding a Front -Street Firm. According to a local evening paper, one of the leading wholesale produce houses of this city Is In trouble with the fruit hawk ers, the statement being made that the firm owns a number of wagons and employs hawkers to dispose of its fruit. The state ment In declared by the head of the firm to be a falsehood, and inspired for the pur pose merely of injuring the company's haziness. The president of the firm said yesterday: "We are having trouble with some of the hawkers, but this is because we de clined to do business with a certain ele ment of them and did not want them around our store. We continue to do business with the better class of the hawkers and peddlers." It was also stated in the article In ques tion that the matter, would be laid before the Retail Grocers' Association. The as sociation, however, does not recognize the hawkers, except as a nuisance, and will consider no communication from them. The same matter was some time ago brought to the attention of that body by other per sons and Investigated by President B. J. Dresser, who said: "I looked into the matter thoroughly and found there was no basis whatever for the charge. If any wholesale fruit house goes into the retail business, .of course we will take action in the matter, hut in the com plaint that I Investigated I found that suchr was not the case." pTRAWBKRKY SUPPLY IS STILL SHORT Big Iocal Crap la Ripening and Will Soon Be On Market. . Strawberry receipts were again short yes terday .and firmer prices ruled. California Jessies sold generally at $1.05, and Dollars at $l.S5(32 per crate. Oregon berries brought from 15c to 25c per pound, accord ing to quality. Borne local berries are now coming in and in about two weeks they will monopolixe the market. The crop will be large and prices probably low. Cher Ties were also scarce and higher. A car of oranges arrived and three or four more are rolling. Vegetables were in fair supply, and in active demand. The potato jnarket is firm and tending upward. :; sirjtrnjs goes to storage Poultry Market Has Downward Tendency , Butter Active. Kgcs continue steady, with receipts of the average else. The local and shipping de mand is light, and the surplus is going Into storage. Poultry drags slowly and the market has a general downward tendency, which will be more apparent as soon as receipts In crease. The butter market shows no new fea tures. The city creameries report a good oemand on local and shipping account, and a considerable quantity is being stored. Plenty of Veal mnd Good Demand. Receipts of veal were unusually heavy yesterday, but the consumptive1 require ments of this city have become so large that It Is difficult to overstock the mar ket, and the heaviest arrivals are worked off without much trouble, as was the case yesterday. Pork, especially small fancy ttock, was also in excellent demand. Re ceipts of country dressed mutton and lambs were light. Bank Clearings.

IS SEVERE ON HARRIMAN Drastic Recommendations Made Looking to Correction of Combi nation Abuses Kecovery on Short Buying Follows. NEW YORK, May' 15. There was a short lived period of animation in the stock mar ket today. Thia followed the appearance of a published abstract purporting to give the substance of the forthcoming report of the Interstate Commerce Commission on the re sults of the inquiry Into the Harrlman rail road combination. The character of this alleged document was severe in Its strictures upon conditions revealed by the investigation and some dras tic recommendations were Included looking to the correction of existing abuses. The substance of the report and the nature of the alleged recommendations contained nothing that nas not been the subject of stock market discussion and of professed apprehension ever since the sensation cre ated by the testimony before the commis sion, the feeling reaching Its most acute stage In the height of the March panic in stocks. Stock market gossip since that time has arrived at ja comprehensive solution of the problems to be presented by the meas ures for the dissolution of relationships in the Harrlman combination which was to re sult in the distribution of valuable rights to stockholders to share in the assets thus prohibited to the corporations. This alleged settlement resulted in a vigorous rally in Union Pacific in the March panic. Nevertheless, professionals seized with avidity on the revival of the original fac tors contained In today's publication and forced a rapid decline in prices, led by Union Pacific Itself. The late recovery in the market was due partly to covering of shorts, and was significant of the highly professional character of the selling on the decline. The same influence kept Canadian Pacific comparatively firm all day, after the sharp decline of recent days. National Lead was marked up briskly to the accompani ment of rumors of an Intended increase in the dividend rate. Some of the other metal and mining stocks also showed strength on account of trade conditions. There was no Important change In money conditions. Bonds were heavy. Total sales .par value, $1,004,000. United States bonds were un changed on call. CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS. Closing Sales. High. Low.

Interviews with a number of leading grain merchants and members of the produce section of the Bourse nere disclose a feeling of great un certainty in connection with the grain sit uation. Th5 dea'ers generally are disposed to regard ti;e wave of speculation as being an exaggerated one. All admit, however, that the United States at this moment holds the key to the international situation, but the tendency hi to believe that the situation and the reports of crop shortage are exag gerated as far as the European situation Is concerned. The. Merchants' Exchange adds that it is also prepared to predict a heavy shrinkage of production as a factor In the general yield. Various reDorts of poor crop prospects in Germany, Hungary, Roumania and Russia are playing a role In the price movement here. The German Winter crop is admitted to be much delayed and a considerable acre age was frozen out. but, nevertheless, good hopes are entertained that the Spring plant- ng will overcome tne shortage aue to ma Winter damage. Reports, however, empha size that Germany's 19" crop was oeiow the estimate, and that Germany must enter a new grain year without home supplies. The crop outlook nas been somewnat. oau during the warm weather. There have been sporadic spells, but rain is still greatly needed. Reports also indicate an improve ment In the Hungarian crop prospects as the result of rains. The outlook In the lower Danube and South of Russia is considered bad for Win ter grain, but In the Volga Valley and North of Russia the prospects are uni formly good, which is expectea to counter balance the Black Sea shortage. All things considered, dealers, expect v the high price will be maintained, in view or me growing population In comparison with the grain supplies, Germany In particular demanding larger ana larger, quantities every ycr. through an addition of 800,000 to her popu lation annually. In the produce section of the Bourse to day, prices opened strong, owing to the publication of a dispatch announcing that only one-tenth of the Canadian wheat crop had been planted.

WEATHER REPORTS BETTER Decline in Minneapolis Prices Re sponsible for the Early Weak ness at Chicago Loss Is Over Two Cents. CHICAGO, May 15. Trading in the wheat pit lacked . spectacular display, but the volume of business was again exceedingly heavy. The market was under the domination of the bears, and although on one or two oc casions prices showed some disposition to advance, the general tendency was toward a lower level. Profit taking by local and outside longs formed a conspicuous part of the selling movement. The market opened weak with prices all the way from s to 12c lower than the previous close. A decline in the price of wheat on the Minneapolis curb, presumably due to more favorable conditions for seeding In the Canadian NorthweaJU was the chief - reason for the opening weakness. The weather bureau predicted slowly rising temperatures for the Spring wheat country for tonight and tomorrow and this brought out ad ditional sales. The September and December options showed more recuperative power than did the July, and at one time the two more distant deliveries advanced above the opening price. During the last 10 minutes of tradina the market was again subjected to enormous realizing sales, and under this selling prices dropped to a new low point for the day. The market closed weak with prices only a trifle above the low mark. July opened tlc to c lower at 84 to 95c. sold off to 93c and closed at 9292c. September opened at 85 to 96c. sold between 94c and 96o and closed at 93o. December opened lc to l2c lower at 6o to 97c ranged be tween 96c and 98c and closed at the lowest point- Trading In the corn pit was active and the market was decidedly strong earlv In the day. The market lost much of Its earlv Strength during-the last part of the day be cause of the weakness of wheat. The close. however, was firm. Oats opened firm on re ports of killing frosts in sections of Kansas. but soon became weak on general profit taking. jvn erstwniie bull leader was one of the prin cipal sellers today. The market closed weak. Provisions were weak all day because of per sistent selling by local packers and brokers acting for English Interests. Continued heavy receipts of live hogs at all Western ' packing centers was the main bearish Influence. Leading futures ranged as follows: WHEAT. Open.
