CHEESE CLIMBS UP
Sharp Advance Recorded in
Local Quotations.
AVAILABLE SUPPLY SMALL
liberal Orders Coming in From San
Francisco, Los Angeles and the
Sound Cities Good De
mand for Melons.
The announcement made recently by one
of the leading cheese handlers of the city
that the market had touched bottom proved
correct, for the advance that occurred soon
atter was followed by another yesterday.
The market Is very firm and from present
Indications will not be long In reaching- a
higher level.
The cause of the sudden rise In prices
yesterday was the entry Into the market of
Ean Francisco and Los' Angeles - buyers.
There has been a steady demand from
Seattle and other Sound points for some
time which has bold the market firm, and
now on top of this comes the California
orders, which have practically cleaned out
local stocks.
The Tillamook factories are closely sold
tip, and with the milk supply falling; off. It
Is difficult to see how prices can help ad
vancing. About the only cheese available
Is the quantity now In transit. The local
fcrtorage supply Is small.
Some Eastern cheese is appearing on the
Sound, but at prices that do not compete
with the Oregon product. "With Callforntane
buying here. It is not probable that any
f their make will be available for the local
trade. Some of the cheese authorities are
of the opinion that there will be an 18 to 20
csnt wholesale market In Portland next Win
ter. GREAT OPTTUT OF A SHALL VALXJET.
Fruitful Production of Coachella, 122 Feet
, r Below Sea Level.
There are few spots in the world more
productive than Coachella Valley, California,
from which Portland receives a great deal
of the early vegetables and fruit. The
valley is 13T miles from Los Angeles and
only 14 miles long and eight miles wide.
The Coachella Submarine (the valley Is 122
feet below sea levei says of the valley's
products:
Since January 1 there have been shipped
from the valley several hundred crates of
asparagus, 21 cars of cabbage, 40 cars of
onions, several thousand pounds of early
beans. 10O0 crates of Summer squash, seve
ral hundred crates of fancy blackberries,
three tons of turkeys, one and a half
tons of chickens, 3000 dozen eggs and 1000
cords of wood.
The following careful estimate has been
made on the products to be shipped during
the next six months:
About three more cars of onions, 60,000
poundB of cucumbers, 50 cars of 22-pound
boxes of tomatoes, five cars of fancy malaga
grapes. 300 cars of cantaloupes, 10 cars of
watermelons, four tons of turkeys, one and
a half tons of ducks, two tons of chickens,
several thousand crates of eggs, 1000 cords
of wood and at leant five cars of hogs.
THREE CARS OF WATRMELOM Ilff.
Change in the. Weather Is a Fortunate Thing
For the Receivers.
It was fortunate for the watermelon trade
that the weather turned off warm yesterday
Three cars of melons came In, and under the
circumstances the demand was very good
and a fair start was made toward cleaning
them up. The prices quoted was 2 cents.
' Cantaloupes were scarce and a large quan
tity could have been sold.
Receipts of peaches were plentiful, but
too large a part of the shipments was made
up of undersized stock, some of which had
to be sold as low as 40 cents a box. Fancy
peaches readily brought 11.25. Cherries
are still in adequate supply. Among the of
fering are Lamberts as big as plums, which
are held at 1012tt centa
A car of Walla Walla onions oame In dur
ing the day.
CHICKEN MARKET DOES NOT ft IT-ROTE,
(some Inquiry For Young Ducks and Tur
keys Egg Are Dull.
The chicken market was still weak yes
terday at tha previous day's decline. There
was some inquiry for large spring duck-,
tut very small ones were not wanted. Old
fat hen turkeys sell well and Spring turkeys
might move if any were on hand. Old geese
are dull and large young geese steady.
The egg market presents no change, and
until the quality of the general run Im
proves, the market will not be In a very
healthy condition. Another half cent ad
vance occurred In the Eastern market yes
terday. Butter Is In plentiful supply on Front
treat and tha undertone of the market is
weak. The city creamery trade is not over
active, but prices are quoted steady.

CAMPAIGN FOR RISE
Operations Persisted in Dej
spite Many Obstacles.
ADVANCES PARTLY HELD
Expected Favorable Development in
Hill Stocks Principal Strength
ening Influence Moderate"
Rise in the Harrlmans.
NEW TORK, July 19. The operations for
a rise In prices of stocks, which, have been
persisted In at Intervals during the week.
In spite of Interruptions, were continued
today. There were apparent difficulties In
overcoming; the Inertia of the general list,
and this drag on the advance offered a pas
sive resistance had a discouraging effect
on the efforts of the 'bulls at "-times.
The principal ammunition of the bulls con
sisted of vague intimations of some forth
coming favorable development regarding the
Hill railroad stocks. An Increase In the
rate of distribution of profits was the sub
stance of these rumors. In the movement.
Great Northern preferred stock took the
precedence of Northern Pacific, which was
the favorite in yesterday's dealings. The
"cutting of a melon" for Northern Pacific
following the disposition of its equity in
Burlington to Great Northern was still ru
mored, but was not such a speculative favor
ite as yesterday.
The rise In the Harrlmans was more mod
erate, although Union Pacific touched the
highest point In the movement. Publication
of the imposing results of the year's oper
ations of Union Pacific and Southern Pa
clflo had a favorable effect, the surplus
after dividends of the two systems mounting
to a total of upwards of $26,000,000. These
figures had been foreseen and supplied no
Incentive to further advances in stocks.
Substantial help for the rise In prices
was found in the better feeling for copper
metal, both here and abroad. Large sales
at the prices fixed by tire principal pro
ducers were reaohed. Foreign markets had
a report of an agreement of the Amalgamat
ed and the Rio Tlnto interests on the prices
to be demanded. The price of copper in
London advanced.
The continued ease of call loans and the
prospeats for a favorable bank statement
tomorrow were strengthening elements. The
aotlvlty fell to small proportions late and
advances were only partly retained.
Total sales of bonds, par value, $992,000.
United States bonds advanced hi per cent
on call.
