Ten Per Cent Commission Best
for All Concerned.
BOARD OF TRADE MEETING
Various Linos of Produce Included
In the New Arrangement Lo
cal Paper Is Scored
for "Knocking."
The produce members of the Board of Trade
held another meeting lsst night to consider
matters connected with their trade and with
the institution. The meeting was not only
well attended, hut developed a degree of In
terest In the work of the Board that was
gratifying. While the attendance at the noon
sessions lately has apparently indicated a
waning interest in the exchange, the senti
ment was entirely different at the meeting
last night, and the future of the produce de
partment of the Board now looks brighter than
ever.
Much of the time was devoted to a discus
lion of trade condition on Front street. The
proposal to handle eggs strictly on a 10 per
cent basis was Indorsed, and by a resolution
the members of the Board voted to Include in
the list poultry, dressed meats, butter and
such other articles as are handled on com
mission. It wa shown that the shipper by
such an arrangement would receive better re
turn than he has been getting heretofore.
Attention wan called to a "knocking" arti
cle printed In a local paper last evening, re
garding the official quotations of the Board,
and the paper was severely scored and reso
lutions passed to that effect.
Adjournment was taken to Thursday, May
14, at 8 P. M., when the matters relating to
commissions, etc., will be finally passed upon.
CLARK COUNTY PRUNES I AM AGED.
Trees on Iw Land Suffer, but Hill Fruit Is
Not Injured.
The recent frost had the same effect on
the prune crop in Clark County, Washing
ton, that It had in the Marlon County prune
belt. As was reported In The Oregonlan
yesterday, tha principal damage In Marion
County was done in the lowlands, while the
hill fruit suffered little or nothing from
the frost.
' The same conditions prevail in' Clark
t'ounty, according to investigation made by
prune men. The crop on tne fiver and on
Mill Plain has been damaged, it is esti
mated, to the extent or So per cent. The
stems have turned yellow and the fruit
dropped. On the hills, where the bloom
was later. It Is not believed that serious
damage has been done.
The California prune crop is now esti
mated at only 40,000,OO to 60,000,000
pounds, the smallest In many years.
These crop conditions are having but
little effect, however, on the market for
last year's prunes. Were trade conditions
normal, however, prices would advance
sharply.
MXWER MOVEMENT IX HOP TRADE
lie maud Is Lews Active, but Prices Continue
Firm.
The flurry in the bop market, which has
kept things lively for the past ten days,
seems to have about subsided. The demand
is not active and fewer sales are reported,
but the market is left In a very firm posi

terday showed 10,732 bales In growers

The most Important transaction In the
last few days was the purchase by Horst of
the remainder of the Salzgeber crop, 2-70
bales, at HilUboro. The price was about
cents. The Seavey Hop Company bought
139 bales from Mrs. Gallagher, of Carlton,
at ill oents. John Carmichael bought 12ft
bales from Gottleib Meyers, of Pratum, at
r4 cents.
STRONG DEMAND FOR STRAWBERRIES

Receipts of Oregon strawberries are slowly
increasing, but the pries Holds up well at
36 cents a pound. About 3 SO crates of Cali

morning. Navels were quoted firmer at
$3.253.30 per box.
Vegetables were plentiful and generally In
good demand. Hothouse lettuce was a

BULLY IN STOCKS
Determined Stand Is Taken
Against' Reaction.
BUT TRADE IS STAGNANT
Better Feeling Produced by the Ad
vances at London Vanderbilt
1ines Make Favorable Earn
ings Report for March.
NEW YORK. May, 5. Effective sujsport
for prices was forthcoming at the outset of
the stock market today. Sentiment was so
far encouraged by this demonstration that
the selling of stocks, which was rapidly
Increasing when the market closed yester
day, was discontinued. The most striking
feature of the dealings, after this prelim
inary stand against reaction, was the pro
found dullness, approaching at times to
stagnation.
The rally was furthered by the Influence
from abroad. London had recovered from
the uneasiness caused by the news of out
breaks on the borders. News of the military
advance was responsible for this ebange of
feeling, which' Induced a recovery In British
consols and also some rebuylng of the
American securities sold yesterday. Arbi
trage brokers were purchasers of several
thousand shares of stocks bore for foreign
account.
ome of the late selling yssterday. es
pecially of Union Pacific, was caused by
the first reception of the announcement that
authority would be asked to issue $100,000,
000 of bonds, the assumption having been
general that no more than $10,000,000
would be asked for. Some of these sellers
rebought today on further consideration of
the assurance of the president of the com
pany that no more than $50,000,000 and
possibly only $25,000,000 would be sold im
mediately. There were vague Intimations
also that further news of a favorable
character concerning Union Pacific was to
be forthcoming soon. Impliedly having to do
with the plan for segregation of invest
ments for distribution to stockholders.
The statement of the earnings of the
Vanderbilt lines for March was given a
great deal of significance, owing to Its
striking demonstration of power to econo
mize to a sufficent extent to meet the de
cline in gross earnings. . r'or New York
Central itself, a gain of $117,400 in net
earnings was shown. In spite of the decrease
of $697,540 In gross, the aitference having
been made up by the cut in operating cost
in excess of the gross decrease. For the
system as a whole a cut In expenses of over
$2,000,000 for the month proved efficacious
in establishing a margin or gain in net
earnings over March of last year, although
the amount was small, being $92,517. A
compilation appeared of reports for March
thus far made to the Interstate Commerce
Commission, reduced to a per mile basis,
from which it appears that operating reve
nue of the railroads in March had risen
$80 over February and $9o over January
per mile, estimated from the total mileage
reported In each. As the operating expense
per mile in the same period was almost sta
tionary, an improvement in the rate of the
net return over the preceding months is
argued in the average showing for the rail
roads of the country as a whole.
Copper advanced in London. The United
States Steel stocks became conspicuous sus
taining factors in the late market.
Bonds were firm. Total sales, par value,
$2,704,000. United States bonds were un
changed on call.

RISE IS CHECKED
Selling Gives an Easier Tone
to the Wheat Market.
DESPITE THE STATISTICS
Rains In Kansas, Fewer Damage
Rumors and Good Ohio Report
Are the Factors Causing
the Weakness.
CHICAGO. May 5. Wheat opened firmer
because of higher prices at all the European
grain centers, but an easier tone soon de
veloped on selling by local longs. Sentiment
continued bearish the remainder of the day,
notwithstanding the extremely bullish show
ing of the statistics on the world's vislbls
supply, which showed a decrease of 14.580,
000 bushels for the week against an in
crease of 465,000 bushels ror the corre
sponding time one year ago. The factors
chiefly responsible for the easier tone were
additional rains In Kansas and a decrease
of damage reports for the Southwest and
the Ohio crop report, which showed an
Improvement of seven points In the condi
tion of the crop In that state during April.
The market closed easy. July opened H
He higher at 90 91c, advanced to 91 He

of the session. July opened: unchanged at
