TOE MORNING- OltEGOXI AX. TUESDAY, JULY 23, 1907. 17 BUTTER UP TO 30G City Creameries Advance Price 21-2 Cents. , CREAM BECOMES SCARCE Large Amount Going Into Making of Ice Cream aVl Pastures Drying Vp Rapidly Are Given as Cannes for Change. City rramrriea announced to the trade yes terday an advance in their quotation for flrrt grade butter from 27c to 3rtc. There was HMe to eay 'on the direct cause of the ad vance, other than the eupply of cream was falling off somewhat and that at this season : th demand for ice cream makes great in rne4ii on the usual quantity used In the manu facture of butter. Fa at urea are also getting Into bad shape ami cows are not yielding as copiously as when the pasturage is luxuriant. Demand for the product ia keeping the creameries fully in ac tion and no stocks to amount to anything are accumulating. The city creameries draw on the farmers for cream so heavily that apart from two or three within a few miles of town country creameries are not doing much at present, and their output is bringing about the same prices1 as those named In city concern. Cheese la in a very firm position. Some thing seems to have happened In the East to cauee a considerable scarcity. One opinion expressed yesterday is that Eastern farmers are not keeping their herd recruited to the extent that larger demands require and that not enough milk Is being marketed to provide material for eheeeemakera to the extent de ilrcd. This state is sending out much more chtfese, and to markets not hitherto drawing upon this section, than any year previously. In the Tillamook country there is said to be no stocks on hand and that the production is handled as rapidly as It can be made ready for shipment. Local dealers are not saying that, prices will advance to any great extent at once, but they do say "the market Is firm and Is more likely to advance than to fall. GOOD OUTLOOK FOR HOPS. Oregon Yards In Bloom and Picking Will . Begin In Mx Weeks. The Oervais Star says that hops are in bloom, which te a sure Indication that picking Is but six weeks away. In comments on the hop situation the paper "says the crop will be lighter than dealers have been putting it. Portland experts, however, still express the opinion that the crop will be equal to and perhaps slightly over that of last year, ac cording to present Indications. Great dullness exist in the market and even at the low quo tations litilo inquiry comes from Eastern buy ere. , The WateTville (X. Y.) Tlmea in its last Issue says: There is nothing new to state in regard- to the condition of hop yards hereabouts. They are still growing nicely and are arming out very well, although they have not yet been able to catih up with former years, owing to the late start. The weather has been Ideal and the hoi will be In the blow before many days. The latest report from Germany says: The weather we have had during the last weeks has been very favorable to the growing hop crop. The prospects for the coming season are therefore promising. The vines are look ing very vigorous and healthy In the different countries of the continent; only In some parts of Austria the plantations are a little behind. There is no alteration to be reported with regard to the eltuation of our market. The Inquiry continues to be weak in accordance with the advanced season. Stocks are dimin ishing gradually and will probably be ex - hausted before the new plant U coming In. FARM PRODUCTS SHOW WEAKNESS. Last Week', Large Poultry Receipt, Liable to Recur Eggs Weaker. On account of rather too heavy receipts of poultry last week price dropped off about, a half cent yesterday. While receipts were not unusually heavy yesterday there was a general belief that before the end of the week a repetition of the previous week's experience would occur. Several poultry dealers said prices were cut to piece In the Saturday clean-up. Eggs are decidedly weak, especially for ac cumulated stocks. In several houses it was reported1 that not only have . eggs been stack ing up but that country storekeepers are holding back their shipments'. Just what for nobody seemed able to explain. Entirely too many "seconds" are in dealers' hand, and the percentage of "rots" is much greater than It should be. even for the time of year, was the situation as given by more than one dealer. How to keep the price at a figure that will give farmers a fair return and at the same time compete with Eastern eggs Is the prob lem that confronts the trade. There was said In some quarters to be little trouble In selling good, big lote of strictly fresh eggs, but the trouble was to get hold of fancy goods. All along the street the same complaint of com petition with Eastern' eggs was heard, and the unanimous opinion was that these Impor tations were Just as good as the kind of ranch eggs that axe being sent in so heavily. GOOD PRICE FOR HAY. -Farmers Are Getting (8 Per Ion In the Field. The Dallas Itemizer in its last issue says: The same as nearly every other commodi ty, the price of new hay has soared away up into the empyrean. In fact, its value now In the field is nearly twice what it generally is at this -time of the year. And It is not plentiful even at the advanced price. George Schneller says he and hid men were yesterday scouring the county contracting for their year's supply for the livery stable, and that they found hay hard to get and selling at $8 a ton in the field. This is about the average price asked for good timothy, cheat commanding about the same price, also oat hay. This la probably the highest price ever asked for hay In the field lb this county, and the cost Is laid not so particularly to Its scarcl lty, as to the cost of production. Labor now commands such a price that it would be unprofitable to the farmer to sell It at a lower price." GOOIJ TRADE IX FRUITS. Various Varieties In Sufficient Quantities From Local and Southern Points. Trade In fruits is keeping well up to seasonable proportions. A car of oranges arrived yesterday and was quoted a shade higher than prices recently named. Melons arc coming from the South in large ship ments, but move off satisfactorily. Cher ries arc still In pretty good supply and are expected to last another week or two. Apricots from The Dalles country are of small size, but are going despite that draw back, for the reason that they are the only ones to be had. -The California crop having been a failure again this year, the small cots n ust perforce be taken by the retail trade. New apues of the early varletlcb re making their appearance. Berries are about done for the season. Peaches are not coming In yet in shipping quantities. Knoiigh Frrsh Meats Arrive. Quite enough dressed meats are arriving to supply the requirements of butchers. Fancy veais are in hotter request than any other kind of meat. During hot weather dealers are I not anxious to handle any more carcasses than a&solutely required by the trade. Price3 re main about stationary. Bank Clearings.

STOCKS BECOME INACTIVE Some Difficulties Encountered In Carrying Out Proposed Control ol Burlington Hill Interests. ' L,abor Troubles Affect Steel. NEW YORK, July 22. The operations for 'the advance in a limited group of stocks, which distinguished the stock market at all times last week, were discontinued today. The tone was promptly responsive and be came dull and heavy,, as these operations made up about all there ws of last week's market. The action of the market had little In the news to explain. Speculative sentiment may have been af fected to some extent by the tone of warning amongst the banking and financial author ities for threatened Inadequacy of the mon ey market resources to any considerable speculative undertaking in the stock mar ket. This Influence was not directly effec tive in the money market, however. Substantial difficulties were pointed out in the carrying out of the supposed readjust ment of control of Burltngton by the North ern Pacific and the Great Northern. An Installment fell due today of some $14, 000,000 on Union Pacific convertible bonds, which falls mostly to the underwriters, and with a considerable Interval to elapse before another payment it was believed that an Immediate 'motive for stimulating the mar ket for the bonds through the stock was withdrawn. ' Reports of labor troubles In the iron mines had a bad effect on United States Steel. The pressure on stocks was not severe at any time and quite general recoveries en sued on the marking up of Southern Pa cific and Atchison In the last half hour. Bonds were steady. Total Bales, par value, $878,000. United States 2s advanced 4 and the coupons declined i per cent on call, j The undertone of the market was heavy and prices receded again. Union Pacific lost 1, Northern Pacific Hi. Bonds were steady. The market became weaker later and the declines in Northern Pacific reached Its. Smelting 1 and Southern Pacific, Reading, Amalgamated Copper, 1. Pacific Mail declined 1. The market closed heavy and dull. Prices recovered In sympathy with a rise In Southern Pacific to 1 over Saturday. CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS. Closing Sales. High. Low. Bid.

While part of the sealing company was clubbing and skinning seals, the Russian guards opened fire on them. The Japanese, taking cover behind rocks on the shore, returned the fire of the Russian guards, who finally drove oft the raiders, who took to their boats and went back on board their schooner, leaving one killed and sev eral wounded, they being carried off by their companions. Several of the Russian guards were wounded. MOTORMAN RACES FLOOD Put on Full Speed and Saves Carload of People. BUTTE, Mont., July 22. Joseph J.
