HIT WOOL SALES
Little Business Passing in
Eastern Oregon Market.
SOME ACTIVITY IN IDAHO
t'niatilla County Growers Associa
tion Will Discuss the Matter of "
Consigning Their Clip Kast
at Meeting Tonight.
Business Is quiet in the Eastern Oregon
wool markets pending the opening of th
auction sales at Pendleton Wednesday. Con
siderable activity is reported from Idaho
where Portland dealers have been buying lit
the last few days.
The Umatilla County Woolgrowers' Asso
ciation will hold a meeting at Fendletofi
tomorrow evening to discuss, among other
things the proposit Ion for the growers to
get together in an effort to compel the
buyers to pay higher prices for this year's
wool. It Is proposed, if necensary, that the
flock-owners pool their clips, arrange for
the storing and possibly the scouring of it.
and then send it East with a man who will
be empowered to dispose of It direct to the
manufacturers of woolen goods. ; Many of
the growers foel that they did not get all
their wool was worth last year, despite the
statements made by the buyers, that thoy
did not make anything on the buys at the
sales days. Another thing to be considered
Is the matter of purchasing salt at whole
sale for the benefit of its members. It is
claimed by the sheepmen that they have
been compelled to pay two or three prices
for this necessary commodity and they think
that it would be wise for them to follow
the example of the Idaho and Montana
sheepmen. The question of indorsing or
opposing the proposition to have the Gov
eminent lease its public lands, which was
not settled at the last meeting, will come
up for further consideration at this meet

EASTERN INQUIRY FOR OREGON HOPS.
Fltchard Fills Brewery Orders for 1250
Bales Crop Reports Conflicting.
A good inquiry is coming along from the
East for Oregon hops at the prevailing
prices, which are tempting to brewers, es
pecially in view of the uncertainty as to the
coming crop. Several large orders have been
fllled lately and a number of buyers have
gone into the country to purchase what they
can. C. L. Fltchard. who was In the city
yesterday, reported that he had bought 1250
bales, mostly around Eugene, at 6 to 7
cents. Cat in ft L,inn have also been buying
freely, their purchases In the last few
weeks aggregating about 2500 bales. Shuck
ing and other alem dealers have also been
In the market. The trade was much Inter
ested In a rumor that James Harris had
sent hjs buyers into the hop sections, and in
some quarters It was thought that Schwars
was about to take on a big block on specu
lation. If he has not already done so. In
the meantime the other big Eastern opera
tors and the Ho ruts are doing nothing, so
far as can be learned.
A variety of crop reports are coming in,
but they are conflicting and not much sat
isfaction can be derived from them. The
big hop districts evidently must look very
spotty. Judging from some of the reports.
FRONT STREET WITHOUT BERRIES
Failure of California Train to Arrive Leaves
Market Almost Bare.
The failure of the California train to ar
rive left Front street without strawberries
yesterday, except a. few crates shipped in
from Valley points. These sold readily at 23
rents per pound. Today's express will
bVing about 4O0 crates of Florins, which
will be the last big shipment from there.
After that California berries will be drawn
from Placer County and other sections.
The steamer unloaded a fair quantity of
Southern truck, most of which cleaned up
well. New potatoes were In special demand
at &H&6 cents. Beans were quoted lower
at 15 cents, and telephone peas steady at
7 8 cents. Artichokes were of only fair
quality and dropped to tfO&OS cents per
dozen. Cucumbers were, quoted at a wide
range. Some open-air coachellas were of
fered at 60 cents a dozen, while the best
California cucumbers brought $1.50. A lot
of hothouse cucumbers from Beaverton were
quoted at $1 per doxen and would have
brought more if they had been of a better
variety. Squash was in oversupply at 5uo
to 11 per box. New sack carrots at $2.50 and
turnips at $2 were received from Los An
geles. A car of cabbage also came in.
STRONGER DEMAND FOR EGGS.
Prices Reassert Themselves M'lth the De
creasing of Receipts.
A stronger demand for eggs and some
falling off In receipts have given the market
a firmer tone. The general quotation on
round lots was 18 ceqta, with a half cent
more on single cases, and some firms were
holding candled stocks up to 19 cents.
Since the season opened the egg market has
shown a disposition to hold up and every
attempt made to force prices down has been
followed by a rebound. With the bigger
consumption In the Northwest and the out
put little if any Increased, it would seem
that eggs are unreasonably cheap under 20
cents, especially when the prices of other
commodities are considered.
The poultry market was In fair shape
with a good demand for everything except
turkeys. Spring chickens were more nu
merous and the smaller sires sold readily.
The butter market was firm with a good
all around movement.

which prevented the delivery of supplies
afloat, but with an apparent Improvement

AFFECTED SY WHEAT BULGE
News From Washington Has re
pressing Influence on Hill and
Harriman Shares The Bond
Market Also Weakened.
NEW YORK, May 20. The recent inertia
of tire stock market gave way today to a
sharp downward movement accompanied by
some broadening of the speculative Interest
and an increase In the aggregate of the
dealings over the recent averages. The
large proportion of the dealings were ad
mittedly in professional hands still. There
was clear evidence also that the hands
which were operating with renewed vigor
In stocks were carrying on parallel opera
tions In the wheat market. This Is a very
unusual coupling of speculative activities,
Offertng some logical arguments for selling
of securities, especially of the granger rail
roads. The granger railroads were In fact
quite conspicuous In the selling of today
and It was common belief that some special
selling orders In the stock market came
from houses with Important grain market
connections. Selling from these sources
were not confined to the grangers ana tnat
group of stocks and some factors to con
tend with In addition to the bad crop re
ports. With this qualification it was true
that the weakness of stocks originated from
operations by the same Interests as did the
strength in wheat. The blllateral campaign
was furthered effectively by the publication
of a crop estimate by an expert In the serv
ice of commission-houses in which a small
er outturn of Winter wheat was predicted
than has been named by other authorities
heretofore.
The speculation for the decline received a
considerable Impetus from the news of
Government activities at Washington. The
special weakness of the Hill stocks was
traceable to the report from Washington
that the Inquiry Into the common relations
of these companies to 'the Burlington Kali-
road was to be aggressively extended. The
report of the bureau of corporations on tne
Standard Oil Company was a companion
Influence, as the principles there formu
lated for the reckoning of reasonableness In
charges for service by public corporations
were regarded as widening indefinitely the
problem of rates to be charged by railways
as they might be controlled by the Gov
ernment. The question of financial needs of cor
porations and the demands upon the money
market, which might be made necessary on
these accounts was a continued influence in
the depression of securities. The special
waekness In Union Pacific, as well as in
the .Hill stocks, looked to Washington for
Its Inspiration. Last prices of stocks were
about the lowest of the day and represented
some severe declines In the special weak
features.
A break in United States Steel second
fives was the feature of the bond market,
attributed to rumors, which were denied,
of an Intended note issue by the corpora
tion. Bonds were easy. Total sales, par
value, $1,474,000. United States bonds were
unchanged on call.

WINS WITH GOOD STORIES
Distinguishing Methods of Evangel
ist Van Marter, at Sunnyslde.
Evangelist Van Marter, of Iowa, now
engaged In a series of revival meetings
at the Sunnyslde Methodist Episcopal
Church, has two distinguishing charac
teristics he does not believe In what he
terms "the trapping system" In winning
converts, and he Is a good story-teller.
At his afternoon and night meetings, he
and the pastor. Rev. T. B. F ord, as they
have explained from the pulpit, "do not
turn the members of the church loose
on every poor sinner In the -house," but
tell the plain gospel truths and leave
the rest to the Judgment of the hearer.
Evangelist Van Marter Is a man of
wide experience, and his sermons show
him to be a deep student of human na
ture In ail Its varied phases. He has a
remarkable faculty for story-telling, and
illustrates nearly every point he seeks
to make clear by a story.
"I was standing on a downtown street
the other - day," said Evangelist Van
Marter, "when some fashionable women
came; by, weeping. I thought they were
just from attending a funeral, for one
said, 'Oh, It just made me cry; I couldn't
help It.' However, when another replied,
"Yes, It was so realistic,' I knew they
had not been to a funeral at all but were
fresh from the matinee. So, you see,
you can't always judge from people's
actions just how religious they are or
how spiritual."
Another Illustration of how badly mis
taken one may be' In another, was
illustrated by a story of a tired travel
ing man, who went to a hotel and desired
a room. No room was vacant, and the
landlord put the drummer in bed with a
strange man. During the night the
drummer was awakened by some one
talking In the room. He listened in fear,
for his strange comnanlon was kneeling
beside the bed, praying.
"Oh, Lord," said the man, "forgive me
for my sins. I have broken every Com
mandment today."
The weary drummer, badly frightened,
leaped out of bed and hurried to the
hotel office, where he reclined in an easy
chair, when the landlord came in.
"Why, I thought you went to bed,"
remarked the surprised landlord.
"I did." the drummer replied, "but the
man you put me in with got up and
knelt by the bed and prayed, saying he
had broken every Commandment of God
that day, and I didn't know what might
happen, so I got out."
"0, nonsense," exclaimed the landlord,
"that's the Methodist preacher; he's a
regular guest here. You need "not fear
him".
HANGS HIMSELF ON STRAP
East Side Umbrella Repairer Takes
Last Drink and Commits Suicide.
Because of despondency, induced by
a prolonged spree and consequent fall
ing off in his business that of um
brella repairer Robert Rexford, a
Grand Army veteran, 63 years of age,
committed suicide in his shop, 408
Hawthorne avenue, Sunday night. His
body was found hanging from the ceil
ing, he having hanged himself by
means of a shawl strap. The police
and Coroner were notified and the body
was removed to the Finley undertak
ing establishment.
A pathetic feature of the case was
the veteran's inability to quit drinking.
He entered a saloon at 408 Hawthorne
avenue, conducted by John Hoffman,
shortly after 12 o'clock Sunday night,
and begged for a glass of whisky,
which was given him. He was a nerv
ous wreck, and was unable to hold
the bottle to pour out the drink, so
the bartender aided him. ' After gulp
ing It, he said he would never take
another drop.

WHEAT-PIT NERVOUS
Wide Fluctuations in Prices at
Chicago.
NET RESULT IS GOOD GAM
Bullish Factors Are Continued Cold
Weather, Minneapolis Statistics
and Unfavorable Reports From
Europe Much Profit-Taking.
CHTCAGO, May 30. The local wheat
market today waa extermely nervous, prices
fluctuating, excitedly over a range of 2 to
2 hie. The market waa strong early in the
session, but later eased off . considerably.
At the close July was - lc hlgrher, and
Feptember and December gained propor
tionately, wheat opened strong- with prices
ranging from to lc to 34c higher than
Saturday's closing. There was a big gen
eral demand at the start. Continued cold
weather In the Northwest and an advance
of 4c at Minneapolis were the bullish in
fluences. The advance at Minneapolis was
said to have been due to a report made by
a vell-known crop expert which placed the
total yield of Winter wheat at 75.000,000
bushels less than had been estimated by
Government officials on May 1. Other factors
that contributed to the bullish sentiment
wejre unfavorable Reports regarding the
wheat crop of Russia, Hungary and other
European countries, and also pessimistic
advices from Nebraska and Kansas. There
was heavy selling for profits as well as
short selling throughout the entire session,
and prices declined sharply at times, but
always rallied. During the last 15 minutes
of trading prices dropped abruptly on be
lated realizing sales. Renewed support from
the bulls, together with covering of short
lines, however, caused a rally, the market
closing firm. July opened lc to 19lc
higher at 97 "4 -h 98c. advanced to 09 and
closed at 97H97c. September opened
ltt$2Kc higher at 89c $1.00. sold be
tween 8c and $1.00 and closed at !)94c.
December opened 2 3 Vic higher at 11.00 4
61.02, ranged between 99c to $1.02 and
closed at $1.00.
Trading In the corn pit was fairly active
and the tone of the market strong. The
market closed firm. July opened a shade to
c higher af 5S33ttc advanced to
53 e and closed at 53 33 a
Damage by drought and green bugs to the
crop in the West and Southwest and delay
to eeedlng in the Northwest because of cold
weather' caused a strong market for oats.
The market closed Arm. July sold between
484c and 7c and closed at 46c.
Provisions were dull but firm and closed
with a gain of 5 10c for the July options.

PASS WORTHLESS PAPER
"Bank of Georgia" Notes Again Cir
culated In Portland.
The police are confronted with a hard
problem In the passing of $10 and KX bills
on the defunct '"Bank of Georgia" by
clever swindlers. At intervals for several
years men have appeared' In this and
other cities on the Coast, and have flooded
the country with these worthless bits of
paper. Detection is sufficiently difficult,
but it is easy compared to securing a con
viction for any charge whatever.
Last night two of the $10 bills were
passed on unsuspecting lodging-house pro
prietors, and were promptly reported to
the police. The cases were Investigated,
and from the description furnished it was
said by Captain of Detectives Bruin that
two men were the perpetrators of the
swindles. One was described as about
SO years of age and the other as about 28
years of age.
'"There seems to be no way to get at
these criminals," said Chief Grltzmacher.
"It Is no crime to have these 'Georgia
Bank' bills in one's possession, and when
we catch a man with them, he simply says
some one else gave them to him, and no
charge will hold, unless It be vagrancy.
These cases are among the most difficult
we have to deal with."
The police have frequently Issued warn
ings to citizens against these bills, and
last night Chief Grltzmacher declared that
it is most peculiar that business men are
not more careful In accepting bills. A
careful inspection of a bill, he said, will
always reveal its real value.
Women from their sedentary habits,
are often subject to headache and con
stipation. These are quickly removed
