TlIK MORNING OltEGONI AN, SATURDAY. MAY 9, 1908. 17- E Slow Demand for the Willam ette Valley Clip. EASTERN COUNTIES QUIET Annual Deadlock In the Middle West Between Merchant and Grower. Steady Advance In the Hop Market. The outlook in the wool market Is far from encouraging. Short clothing wools are entirely neglected. A fair quantity o new ' Valley wool Is coming forward and most of It is running very coarse. Dealers show but little disposition to buy and growers are equally Indifferent about selling. The result is an. exceedingly dull market. The trade Is offering 10J11 cents for average lots of Valley wool and 11&1214 cents for fine medium. Some shearing haft been done east ctf the mountains, but the weather holds this operation back. Ko trading is under -way there. Shearing has also begun In the Lak.vlew district at . the Warner Canyon hearing corrals. The Southern Oregon clip is said to be exceptionally good'thls Spring, partly owing to the absence of scab, and partly because the range was good all Win ter and the sheep kept fat. Throughout the Middle Western States the yearly conflict between the wool merchant and the woolgrower is on. Reports from pro ducing sections where shearing has made progress are to the" effect that buyer and oilers are In a deadlock with no Immediate prospect of a break. There are all sorts of stories about the grower storing his wool and bringing the buyer to terms. Business to date has been principally on a consign ment basis at advances of 8 to 10 cents. In this way a good deal Is. moving In Nevada and .the Texas clip Is being largely consigned. Shearing Is progressing In Wyoming but little business has been ac complished. In California supplies are piling up. It is estimated that such rtah wools as are being bought will cost 45 cents scoured landed In Boston, from 11 to 13 cents being paid, thougn one authority claims a cost of 0 cents for straight cloth ing stocks. Sales in Nevada are reported at 11 to ISc. Idaho and Montana flockmasters will shear next month. Growers 'everywhere seem unwilling to accept the Inevitable, evidently not fully realizing the depressed situation at all Eastern centers and the very poor and un certain Industrial outlook. The spot market in the Kast Is still dull and weak. No sales of Oregon wools are re potted in the latest advices. Some of the laruest holders of territories have closed sale of only 10,000 to 2"i,000i pounds each, the demand being wholly for small lots to meet Immediate requirements of buyers. Fame firms have sold nothing on new con tacts and delivered little on old; Among th transfers of the. week Is Included an ag gregate' of 140.000 pounds good clothing rtork at 17 Vic In; the grease, or In the nclRhborhood of .Vic clean. Half-blood Wyoming has sold to the extent of 100.000 pounds at 18e. and the scoured cost of that Is placed nt .TJc also. About 20,000 pounds medium Montana changed hands on the scoured basis of SO to S2e. The rest of the ' trnnsfers Is made up of small lots of a variety of quality and grade from the clips or Utah. Wyoming and other states, at prices ranging from 14 to ISc. . RAY BUYS HOPS AT 6V4 CENTS. Caxmlohael Operating Freely on London Account. With a broader inquiry for hops and sup plies, especially of the choice grades, run ning low, the market is naturally very firm. Prices on the better qualities are fully H4 cents higher than they were two weeks ago. Yesterday, A. J. Ray & Son paid 044 cents for a lot of 135 bales at Silverton. This Is also tne price clem llorst paid for the Saligeber lot at Hllls boro. H. I Hart paid BH cents for the Barbur lot of 89 bales at Woodburn, and bought some lower grades at 3H cents, also a Quantity of olds at prices ranging from 1 to 1H cents. Jack Carmlchael has been a fc.avy buyer for the London market, se curing among other lots the following: 114. bales from Pete Hansen, of Sheridan; 100 bales from Keyt, and 40 bales from Cobb, of Ballston; 40 bales from Dr. Fink, of Dallas, and 150 bales from palmer, of Mount Angel, all at prices ranging from 5 to SH cents. " The supply of hops left in Oregon now coes not much exceed 0000 bales. Advices from California are of a firm market with si strong demand for choice hops, which are very scarce. The total stock of 1907s In that state 1 estimated at 18.000 bales. A report from TJklah, 'Oal., says . that the Tklah Cannery Association has been incor porated. Some time ago It was decided to reduce the hop acreage and plant vegetables to can. (Sufficient money has been subscribed to make the enterprise a. success, and the hors will be uprooted. The following cable was received yester day by Isaac Plncus & Sons, of Tacoma, from Ironmonger, at London: "More inquiries but no life in the market. Market quiet and prices nominal. Hops are ba.ck.ward. Weather Is too cold." fcOS ANGELKS berries in poor shate But Demand for Good Calrfornla Fruit Is Strong. The ear of Los Angele strawberries that was received yesterday morning would have gone on to Seattle, but It (would not stand the Journey. It was the worst mess of the kind received here In a long time. Some of the fruit bad whiskers an Inch long on it nd even the street hawkers hesitated to pay the trifling price, askea. A part of the shipment did not sell for enough to pay the express charges, and a good portion of the lot went at 40 'to 60 cents a crate. There were a few good crates In the car that brought ftOcefl. Qood Florin berries were In demand at $1.50 per crate. Oregon ber ries were more plentiful but were slow sale, as they showed the effect of the recent cool weather. The general price was 15 cents a pound. In other respects the market was un changed. Cherries moved fairly well at $1.25 per box. A car of oranges was re ceived and a mixed car of vegetables Is due from San Francisco today. A shipment of New Orleans garllo arrived and was quoted at 25 cents. Asparagus, peas and all other vegetables but hothouse lettuce cleaned up well. Egg Prlcea Advancing. Receipts of eggs show a marked falling off, and as the demand continues strong, both for the local trade and for storage, prices' are held on a fjrm basis. The general quotations yesterday were 1818H cents, but some, dealers were holding for 19. Poultry arrivals were vory 'small and prices were quoted firm. Steady Northern orders keep the butter market well cleaned up. s t" 11 tors at the Board of Trade. Among the visitors at the Board of Trade yesterday were C. A. Miller, of Miller Bros., Tacoma. and R. W. McKinnon, of Logan A Bryan, Chicago. Mr. McKinnon is well known In the commission and brokerage business "here, and his present visit Is for the purpose of extending the Logan & Bryan service to this city. Wheat Price Are Advanced. The booming wheat markets in the Eat and in Europe resulted In a further ad COARS IS vance here and bluestem wa quoted at the Board of Trade at 90 cent and club at (WH cents. The advance, however, only tightened up the farmers more than ever, and trading was on a very small scale. There was a good demand from California, as warehouse stocks In that state are very small.

UPWARD TREND GENERAL Harrlmans and Reading Leaders In the Movement Ivlght Supply of Offerings -Xew York Adds to Ita Stock of Cash. NEW YORK, May 8. Explanation of the further rise in prices of stocks today was directed to the play of general causes, rather than from any Immediate new de velopments or to anything specially affect ing the Individual stocks which were strongest. The Harriman Pacifies and Reading were brought forward once more Into the fore most rank of the movement and their activity- and strength had the usual power ful effect on .'speculative sentiment. The principal factor regarding Union ' Pacific is the well-known Imminence of a bond, issue of $23,000,000 to $50,000,000. Many rumors circulated today of the amount of these bonds to be offered and the price to be realized. One- was that $33,000,000 of the bonds had already been disposed of to foreign buyers. Another was that the terms of underwriting were in dispute be tween the railroad officials and the bankers. Meantime, Union Pacific forged aggressively upward with scarcely a pause at the round figure of 1.40. A marked feature of the market was the light supply of stocks ottering at any stage of the advance. A 'readjustment of the price level to conform to the emergence of affairs from the profound depression and distrust of the panic period is avowedly one of the main purposes of the persistent mark ing up of stocks in the present movement. A similar process made Itself plainly manifest in the bond division today, where some low grade and contingent interest bonds were revived from a dormant condition into one of considerable animation. Comparatively small accounts of these bonds had to be taken by advancing bids, while the higher prices thus reached established a quotation for these securities accepted by bankers and money lenders as a basis on which to figure their security as collateral In loans. The forescast of the weekly currency movement gave promise of another large addition to bank cash, estimates running from $11,000,000 upwards. The Pennsylvania bond allotments and the sate of New York City revenue bonds ma affect considerably the loan Item of the banks, but with an ex pansion In loaning power of $45,000,000 or upwards, it Is not likely that such a cash Increase should fall to add materially to the urplus, which was more than $(12,000,000 on last Saturday. This outlook In our money market made explicable -the sharp rebound in foreign exchange rates today In spite of an easing of discount rates in London. While foreign subscriptions to Pennsylvania and New York City bonds helped to car.ry the exchange rate away from the gold ex port point, other factors are at work to restore It. The British foreign trade state ment shows a falling off in cotton ship ments to the country for April of $17,500, 0O0. Foreigners also are selling us our own securities on the present rise in prices, sales by arbitrage brokers for foreign account to day reaching a considerable amount. There was a momentary nait in the rise on the appearance of the Government crop report, which was less favorable than ex pected, but the market became strong again afterwards. Bonds were active and firm. Total sales, par value, $7,04.OOO. United States bonds were unchanged on call. CLOSING STOClf QUOTATIONS. Closing Sales. High. Low. Bid.

Dun ft Co.'s weekly review of trade tomorrow will say: Weather conditions have exercised much Influence this week on trade ka seasonable merchandise and on dealings at the leading commodity exchanges. Low temperatures checked the demand for light wearing ap parel in a market that was already back ward and heavy rains started reports of. dama'ge to crops, yet there was no evidence of serious injury. Manufacturing conditions show .little change, much machinery being Idle and new business coming forward slowly. In some Industries, there is still a disposition to wait for lower prices, although restricted demand during the past six months must render replenishing of stocks almost Impera tive. . , Financial sentiment improves as restric tions are removed from commercial credits and sales provide funds for structural work. Best Conditions Prevail on Pacific Coast. NEW YORK. May 8 Bradstreet's to morrow will say: ' . Weather, trade and industrial conditions are little changed from last week, and farm work, retail and jobbing business and the movement of old crops to market have been restricted by heavy rains, low temperatures or bad roads. The only notable exceptions to this are found in the Pacific Coast and a few Southwestern centers. Reports from the leading industries are still of great quiet. Collections are still backward.

The average condition of Winter wheat on May 1, according to the Government report, was 89 per cent as com pared with D1.3 on April 1, And the total acreage wa 4.2 per cent less than the area reported as having been sown last Fall. The report was a big surprise to bulls and bears alike, as the general expectation had been' that it would show an improvement com pared with the condition a month ago. The abandoned acreage was also larger than had been expected. Immediately following the publication of the report, which occurred about the middle of the session, demand for wheat in the market became general, and prices advanced steadily throughout the remainder of the day. The market opened firm owing to an advance at Liverpool, which wan due, it was said, to the smallness of ship ments from Argentina. Prices, however, soon declined on selling brought out by anticipa tion of a bearish crop report. The market closed strong at almost the highest point. July opened 14c to 14Hc higher at !Hl'4Sl)lc. sold off to 9014c and then ad vanced to 93c. The close was at 9314 6 93c. The bulge In wheat induced liberal pur chases of corn by shorts, which resulted in a strong market during the latter half of the day. Oats were firm nearly all day.
