TWINE AND FLEECES
Woolmen Object to Growers
' Using Sisal.
IT DAMAGES THE WOOL
Ixiwcr Prices Will Bo Offered for
Any Clips Tied In That Manner.
Strawberry Market Breaks.
Advance In Batter.
It is necessary for woolgrowers to exer
cise some care in putting up their product
If they want to get the best price going.
Prices are low enough, anyhow, this year,
and the sheepmen cannot afford to be care
less In their methods ot marketing their
neecea
In this connection the notice sent out
to the trade by the American 'Woolen Com
pany, the largest consumer of wool in the
world, is worth considering. These notices
have been received by each of the local
dealers and are as follows:
"We wish to call your attention to the Im
portance of strongly advising the wool
growers against tying their fleeces with
siBal twine. The danger to the fibers of this
twine In the manufacturing; of goods Is a
serious one, depreciating the value of the
goods, and wools tied with it should com
mand a lower market value In consequence.
"This la a very serious matter and we have
Instructed our wool buyers not to purchase
fleeces tied with this twine unless a lower
price Is made, to offset the damage in
curred in working wools containing this
twine.
"We cannot Impress too strongly upon you
and your correspondents and buyers the
Importance of avoiding the' use of this
twine."
tors NATIONAL BOARD OF TRADK

ington, D, C., when matters of National
importance affecting the commercial Inter
ests of the country are discussed. .
The May number or the Chamber of
Commerce Bulletin and Board of Trade
journal, which has Just been Issued, con
tains among other features the range of
local market quotations in April, as offi
cially fixed at the Board. The call transac

NBW YORK HOP CROP CONDITION'S
.tinny Growers Are Disgusted and Go Out of
Buslnese.
Hop crop conditions In New York are re
ported by recent state papers as follows:
Watervilie Roots have "Wintered well,
but there is not much demand for them this
Spring. Work In the yards Is now well under
way and grubbing and plowing are the order
of the day
Smlthneld Hod -nubbin- Is In order, and
the yards are reported to have "Wintered
well. Many growers In this locality have
reduced their acreage, owing to the pro
longed depression of prices.
Stockbridtre We hear very little said
about hops this Spring. In this section many
of the growers became atsgusteu witn iasr
year's crop and prices, have plowed up their
hops and will put in other crops.
Cooperstown Growers have been busy In
their yards In Otsego County for some time
now and they report that the roots have
Wintered well. The acreage of hops in the
county this year will he smaller than last,
as many yards are being plowed up.
Morrisvllle It Is safe to estimate thc
the constantly waning hop acreage in Madi
son County will be reduced at least one
fourth this Spring. While many growers are
plowing up old yards few new ones are be
ing set out.
BUTTER SEIXS WET,!. AT NEW "PRICES
Active Demand for Cheese From Seattle.
JEgrB Very Firm.
The advance In city creamery butter from
22H cents to 24 cents, as was announced In
this paper yesterday morning, took effect
with the opening of business. Practically all
the city creameries lined up at the new
price. A few outside brands were also raised
to 24 cents. The demand continued active
all day.
There was a good local demand for eggs
and orders from Seattle again- made their
appearance. Quotations on the street ranged
from 184 to 19 cents and one dealer re
ported sales at 20 cents. A large lot was
sold at the Board of Trade at 18 hk. Re
ceipts on the whole were small.
There Is also an active Inquiry from
Seattle for cheese. A large shipment went
forward yesterday and other shipments will
be made when the next Tillamook steamer
arrives.
BREAK IN THE STRAWBERRY MARKET
Receipts Prove Too Heavy for the Local
, Demand.
The strawberry market broke badly yes
terday. Receipts from California were about
l.MM) crates and with what was carried over
from Saturday this proved too much. Sales
for the most part ranged from $1 to $1.50
per crate and many fine lots were sold at a
sharp loss. Hood River shipped In the first
crate of strawberries of the season and
they brought 50 cents a pound on the street.
Receipts of Valley berries were light.
Cherries were plentiful, but being of
small size, were very slow sale at $11.40
per box.
Among the vegetable arrivals was Sum
mer squash from Coachella, which sold at
$1.23, and a shipment of Los Angeles cab
bage, quoted at $2.50 per crate. Carlo! re
ceipts were one car each of cabbage and
lemons, and three cars of oranges.
CONTRACT HOPS AT CENTS.
Poor Crop In England Tends to Boost Ta
coma Prices.
TACOMA. . Wash., May 11. (Special.)
Dealers in hops report prospects improving
in the trade, which has been marked by such
extremely low prices as to discourage many
growers. Local buyers say there Is a good
demand for hojis now and contracts are
being made at 8 and 0 cents for this sea
son's crop. The poor prospects for the hop
crop in England, caused by the bad weather,
has materially stiffened the market here
and within the past seven days prices have
advanced about 1H and 2 cents. Many
growers who have been thinking of plowing
up their vines may be Induced to recon
sider this purpose and give the crop another
trial this year.
Frolt Prospects In Whitman County.
COU'AX, Wash., May 11. Rain, which
commenced falling In Whitman County Fri
day night in email showers, ' still continues,
and farmers and fruitgrowers are very much
encouraged by the outlook for good crops.
W. I I-aFollette. who owns the largest
fruit farm in Whitman County, located at
Wawawai, on the Snake River south of Col
fax, says that undoubtedly the fruit crop
this year will be larger than last year.
Speaking of conditions last year, he said he
lost fully $15,ooo by not having pickers and
boxers at the right time, the fruit going to
waste. There is little likelihood of frost
from now on.

Hop Outlook In Woodborn Section.
WOODBITRN, Or., May 11. At this sea
son there are all kinds of reports relative
to the hop outlook for this" year. It 1
conceded that yards where hops were left
standing on the vines last year will not
make as good showing this year. Reports
come in of "fuzzy" hills, backward growth
and decidedly poor prospects, but all this is
heard year after year at this period. About
15 per cent of yards has been plowed up,
but It Is safe to predict that others will
make an average showing. Dealers are
offering to contract at 7 and 8 cents, with
few takers.
Oats In Demand and Firmer.
The oat market was much firmer yester
day than It has been for some time. There
was a strong demand from California,
wbere the crop is looking bad. and there
was also inquiry from Seattle. A car of No.
1 white oats was sold at the Board of
Trade at $28 and an offer was posted to
buy 2O0 tons more at the same price.
With a good California demand, the
wheat market held up in spite of the slump
at Chicago.
Big Sheep Sale In Eastern Oregon.
CONDON, Or., May 11. John Flemming,
representing Rhea, ot Montana, has bought
35,000 mixed yearling sheep In Gilliam and
Wheeler Counties at an average price of
$2.u0 per head, to be delivered in Condon
about May 25. Among those who sold are
Nlven Bros., W. W. Hoover, Munger Bros.,
Andrew Neal and the Butte Creek Land &
Livestock Company. The sheep are to be
delivered after shearing.
Clackamas Fruit Doing Well.
WOODBl'RX, Or., May 11. The fruit
crop in this section is in excellent condition.
Judging from all reports, there will be
abundance ot all kinds. Pears are making
an especially good showing. It is a little
too early as yet to judge of the apple crop.

CAPITA
Corporation Issues in April
Amount to $239,000,000.
GREATER THAN LAST YEAR
Speculative Sentiment in Stock Mar
ket Is Influenced by the Bright
ened Outlook for Financing.
Bonds Strong and Active.
NEW YORK. May 11. Speculative senti
ment today was still under the dominion of
the brightened outlook tor corporation
financing, which has been the ruling in
fluence all through the present rise In
stocks. The piling up of bank reserves and
the declining rates for money promise
abundant resource for further flotation of
new capital Issues and executive officers of
the railroad companies feel correspondingly
relieved of the anxieties which enveloped
them during the paralysis of railroad credit.
How far this Influence has already made
itself felt Is Indicated by the estimate of
the Journal of Commerce of the total capi
tal Issues In April, the figure rising to
$230,726.3-34, as against $207,447,0000 in
April of last jrear. This Includes the Penn
sylvania bond sale, which proved so power
ful a stimulating factor on the demand for
new Issues. The April total is larger than
for any previous month this year and leaves
the four months' issues since January 1
at only $51,888,746 less than In the corre
sponding four months of active financing
last year. The stimulating effect of the
Pennsylvania bond issue is expected to be
seen In further additions to the list during
May sufficient to bring tne figure fully
abreast of last year's figure, and the opinion
is advanced, in view of this showing, that
the total of new capital authorized during
1008 will not fall short of the $2,102,362,000
authorized In 1H07.
Discussion of ' the Union Pacific issues,
expected terms and amount continued very
active today. That a considerable portion of
the loan will be placed abroad Is taken for
granted, but France and Germany were
assumed as more likely destinations for the
foreign allotments than London, as In the
Pennsylvania loan.
Perusal of the Saturday bank statement
was impressive in Its disclosure of the
measure of the resources aallable for new
borrowing. The $l,270,S24.i)00 of deposits
held by the clearing-house banks on Satur
day, form an absolute record, and the
$03,883,475 surplus above the legal require
ment of the cash reserve nas never been
exceeded except in the after-panic period of
wiien torces ot tne saine nature were
at work to cause the accumulation as are
in operation now.
Confidence in the money outlook, founded
on this showing, was little altered by the
prospect of a resumption of gold exports and
the large withdrawals of the Subtreasury on
account of the return of Government de
posits by the banks. Discount rates in Lon
don and Paris declined and the Bank of
England marked down the price of gold In
spite of further purchases for Paris account
In London.
Outside of the money outlook, there was
nothing In the day's developments to prompt
hopes of enhancing values. The committee
on car efficiency of the American Railway
Association made another fortnightly re
port on the number of Idle freight cars In
the country, which showed for April 29, an
addition to the record figure of April 13 of
37,714 freight cars held idle In this country,
bringing it to the formidable total of 413,
338, representing an enormous1 valuation of
Investment on which no earnings are accru
ing. Railroad officials reported that there
was no Improvement in the rraffic showing.
Weather conditions In some localities last
week -affected to some extent the feeling of
confidence over the wheat crop prospect.
The stock market showed new stocks being
pushed upward which have not been promi
nent In the rise before. There was heavy
realizing at the same time In the recent
leaders of the advance. Constant Irregu
larity of tone was the consequence.
Bonds were active and strong. Total sales
par value, $6,364,000. United States bonds
were unohanged on call.

affirmed that the rights of Parliament in
this connection were established by the
personal order of the Emperor ten days
before the convocation of the present
Douma.
