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.

PORTLAND LIVESTOCK. MARKET.
Prior Quoted Locally on Cattle. Sheep and
Hogs.
Although the receipts of live cattle yes
terday were the largest in many weeks, the
demand was sufficiently strong to take care
of all the offerings and prices held to a very
Arm basis. Bogs were also ready sale at
the previous range of quotations. The sheep
market continues to show a downward ten
dency as the effect of very liberal receipts,
though prices have not as yet been lowered.
Lambs are slow and calves fairly active. Re
ceipts yesterday were 635 cattle, 225 sheep.

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.

Weather, trade and industrial conditions

work, retail and jobbing business and the
movement of old crops to market have been
restricted by heavy rains, low temperatures

to this are found in the Pacific Coast and a
few Southwestern centers. Reports from the
leading industries are still of great quiet.

WHEAT ADVANCES AT CHICAGO.
General Demand Follows Publication of the
t'rop Report.
CHICAGO. May 8. 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.
Provisions were weak early in the day but
became firm later.
