BUTTER IS SCARCE
High Prices Are Certain to
Come This Winter.
PRESENT MARKET IS FIRM
"o Longer an Accumulation In City
Stocks and Supplies Are Steadily
Decreasing May Be an
Advance Soon. 1
The striking feature of the produce mar
ket at thl time is the extreme firmness of
butter prices. There la no accumulation
locally, and receipts of cream and out-of-town
butter are decreasing steadily, though
not rapidly. Some of the city creameries
are said to toe resorting to their cold storage
reserves In order to keep their trade going.
A fixed price of 32 Vi cents is obtainable
for everything offered In the local market,
except a few outside brands.' Present con
ditions would seem to warrant the expecta
tion of another advance In prices before
long. The Eastern market has gone up a
cent this week and firmness prevails at all
the Western centers. Along the entire
Coast the condition is the same, the pro
duction having fallen below current require
ments. The Importation of Eastern butter
at this time of year is becoming, necessary,
and frcun now on increasing . quantities of
it will be brought out. Higher local prices
at the present time would probably not
bring in any more Eastern butter than 1
needed.
The opinion Is general In the trade that
the coming Winter will see higher prices
paid for butter all over the United States
than ever before.
MOVEMENT OF CALIFORNIA FRUITS.
Shipments of Crapes Gradually Increasing.
Fewer Pears Available.
Of the movement of deciduous fruits in
the past week, the California fruit distribu
ters write:
Plums and Prunes-The shipment of the
past week has been about as expected, and
the quality should please everybody. Ship
ment will remain steady with a slight de
crease for the next seven days.
Peaches The bulk of the shipments going
forward have been of Elbertas, although
.there were a few Late Crawford, Susque
hanna and other yellow free. There will
he very few ClingB shipped this year on ac
count of the very high price being paid by the
canners. In addition to the short crop of
'this variety. Quality of all peaches going
forward has been good and the f. o. b. de
mand has been quite strong.
Pears There will be another decrease in
the week's Bartlett shipment for (he next
seven days, but It will not be quite as
marked as the decrease of the preceding
week. There will be very few Fall pears to
go forward this year. The stock that Is
available is of very good quality. This Is
also true in regard to Winter stock. There
will be less available Winter stock for
storage purposes shipped from California
this year than for a number of years.
Orapes Shipment has gradually increased
and mostly been of the earlier varieties.
This week the first carloads of Malagas
will go forward and they are of splendid
quallly. The latter part of this week, and
the first of next, straight carloads of Black
Prince and Rose De Peru will come In and
will be used for f. o. b. orders. They arc
all fine quality. All varieties of later grapes
are promising fine with prospects of being
a week or 10 days earlier In ripening than
last year.
WHEAT SALES IN EASTERN OREGON.
About 100,000 Bushels Sold, According to
Pendleton Reports.
The local wheat market was quiet yes?
terday, with prices steady. Receipts of
wheat from the Interior are Increasing slow
ly. According to the Pendleton Est Orv
gonlan. 100.000 bushels or more have been
sold in tha vicinity. The "bulk was bought
in the vicinity of Eastland by E. ,W. Mc
Comas. representative of the Northwestern
Warehouse Company. Within the past few
days, says that paper. Mr. McComas has
purchased 60,000 bushels from farmers of
. the Wild Horse country, paying 69 c per
bushel. Since the price has declined some
what, and club is now quoted as being
worth but 67c.
Those from whom Mr. McComas made
his early purchases were William Blakley,
Sam Thompson, Ad Rcckroth and Lowell
Rogers. All those men disposed of their
entire yields.
There is a general sentiment in Umatilla
County this year in favor of holding the
wheat for a higher price, 15c being wanted,
and thus far but little contracting has been
done. However, many farmers have sold
small quantities In order to secure money
to defray their threshing "expenses.
The Byers mill has also been securing
considerable wheat. It being estimated that
up to this time the mill has bought 30,001
or 40,000 bushels.
LOCAL EGG MARKET STRENGTHENING.
If Seconds Were Out of the Way Prices
Would Advance Readily. -
A better tone Is noted in the egg mar
ket from day to day, and guaranteed stock
moves readily at the top quotation. The
market, however. Is still suffering from an
excess of seconds, and until these are worked
off there can be no decided Improvement.
It. is probable If the off-grade stock 'were
disposed of the market would see an ad
vance of several cents.
Poultry was In good demand yesterday,
especially hens, which were quoted firm.
The inquiry for Springs was not so active,
but they worked off at steady prices.
EARLY HOOD RIVER APPLES SOLD.
Portland Firm Contracts for the Entire Pack
of the Union.
A contract was closed yesterday between
Page ft Son, of this city, and the Hood River
Applegrowers" Union, by which the Portland
firm will secjire the early apple pack of the
union, consisting of Kings and Grand Pres.
The output will be about 4000 boxes, and
the crop will be delivered in this month and
In September.
The price to be paid for the pack was not
mada public.
Melons and Lemons In Demand.
There was an active demand' yesterday
for both watermelons and lemons, and the
latter were quoted especially firm. The can
taloupe market was In better shape, as the
surplus has been worked off to hawkers
and receipts were lighter. Arrivals of all
kinds of fruit were small. Oregon Bartlett
pears of good quality came in from The
Dalles, and were quoted at $2 2.25 per box.
One car of watermelons' arrived.
Inspector Condemns Infested Fruit.
Fruit Inspector Delch got busy with his
kerosene bottle on Front street yesterday
and "'oiled'" a shipment of 11 boxes of
Oregon Gravensteln apples that he found
were scaly.

CROSS CURRENTS IN TRADE
CROP DEVELOPMENTS GEXER
ALY ARE FAVORABLE.
Lower Range of Prices In the Metal
Markets Wool Strong and in
Active Demand.
NEW YORK, Aug. 9. Bradstreets tomor
row will say:
-Cross currents In crop and trade develop
ments render generalization difficult. Dis
patches to Bradstreets point to further
favorable progress by leading crops, notably
corn, cotton and Spring wheat, but except
ing oats, reports from which are not favor
able. Copper, tin, spelter and antimony are
lower and business continues quiet. Although
copper, has finally worked below 20 cents,
many ' In the melial trade look for still
lower prices. .
Wool is strong in price and active in de
mand. Fine clothing and worsted wools
are especially called for. Large sales to ar
rive are reported . The new clip at the
West Is reported well cleaned up. The clip
Is estimated to be 10 per cent short of
1905, owing to the severe weather.
Business failures last week in the United
states number 157. against 142 last week,
137 in the like week of 190(1, 166 in 1905,
167 in 1904, and 160 in 1903. Failures In
Canada number 18, against 16 last week,
and 19 In this week a year ago.
Wheat, including flour, exports from the
United States and Canada, for the week end
ing August 8 aggregated 3.272.993 bushels,
against 2,739.836 bushels last week, 2.202.--961
this week last year, and 8,83t,199 In
1901. For the first six weeks of the fiscal
year the exports are 15,963.760 bushels,
against 12,100,271 In 1906-07 and 36,294,784
in 1901-02.

SUPPORT SEEMS LACKING
Systematic Liquidation Carried on
by Important Interests Business
Is Much Restricted The
Money Situation.
NEW YORK. Aug. 9. The remarkable
feature of the day's stock market. 1n view
of the violent fluctuations of the last few
daTya, was the freedom from nervousness
and sensationalism. In spite of the recur
rence of a marked degree of weakness. Tnu
hope that the liquidation had spent Its
force and that a substantial rally ' wouid
result from the requirements of the uncov
ered short inerest was short-lived.
New points of weakness developed almost
from the outset. Instead of the feverish
and violent breaks which characterized yes
terday's market, there was a gradual and
not disorderly recession. The bearB re
frained from the fierce raiding tactics which
have been employed for several days, and
.on the other hand, seemed In no anxiety
to cover their short contracts. Rallies were
few and infrequent, although the decline
was many times arrested. These pauses
In the selling gave place, until late In
the day, stmply to dullness, and the market
was singularly lacking In -resiliency. One
supposition offered to explain this was
that liquidation was going on by impor
tant Interests without being forced and able
to withhold the selling at weak times and
to offer actual support against raiding tac
tics by the bears. There was considerable
reduction In the volume of business and
considerable intervals of actual dullness in
the market.
The news of the day had little direct in
fluence on the market. The most pro
nounced recovery of the day came after
the report of the granting of a writ of
error to the Standard Oil Company In the
case Involving the $29,000,000 fine. The
extreme weakness of Individual stocks was
a' factor in keeping the rest of the market
unsettled.
Rates for call loans were slightly lower
than yesterday, hut the time loan market
was very strong, and supplies very small.
The estimates of the week's cash changes
showed a decisive turn in the tide of the
currency movement away from New York,
the balance of shipments over receipts be
ing estimated at $1,500,000, beside the trans
fer through the sub-treasury of $1,000,000
to Chicago- and San Francisco. The week's
heavy liquidation of securities had undoubt
edly gone to pay off obligations, but theie
have been some heavy syndicate payments
during the week. The $15,000,000 pay
ment today for Union Pacific convertible
bonds would figure but slightly in the
week's average loan account.
Stocks got n.0 help from the Government
crop report, the corn conditions showing
less than the expected Improvement, while
the decline in the condition of Spring wheat
was regarded as sensational.
Bonds were Irregular. Total sales, par.
value. $864,000. United ' States bonds are
unchanged on call.

SHARP ADVANCE IN CHICAGO MARKET.
After Easy Opening, Wheat Prices Turn
Very Strong.
CHICAGO, Aug. 9. The Government crop
report offset the strike of the telegraphers

a strong close to what had been up to that
time a weak market. At the close wheat
for September delivery was up c, corn was
9s c higher, oats were down c. and pro
visions were 7H0IO to 20 cents higher.
The official report regarding the condition
of spring-sown wheat was made public 15
mlnutea before the close of the market and

87 2 on July 1. Immediately after the ap
pearance of the report, prices advanced
sharply and the closing quotations wers
close to the highest point of the day. Dur
ing the greater part of the session, however,
the market waa weak because of the strike
of the telegraph operators and lower prices
at Liverpool. Local longs sold freely, and
there was also heavy selling by commission
bouses. Much of the usual statistics were
missing because of the wlrevfrouble, and this
had a tendency to restrict ' trade. Septem

higher at 68c to 8Sc, sold off to 87?c.
and then advanced to 88 c The close was
at 88S88C.

ner similar to wheat by the crop report,
sentiment in the pit being bearish until lat
in the day. The close was strong. Septem
ber opened unchanged at. 54 He. sold off to
54Kc and then advanced to 55c. where If
closed.
The oats market opened strong on art
active demand by shorts, which was based
on unfavorable weather for the new crop.
September opened gH4c higher at 431i
43c, advanced to 46 Vic and then broke
to 45 cents. The close was at 45 He
