Season Has Been Almost a
Failure to Date.
PACK 10 PER CENT SHORT
Can tiers Delay Xuming of Opening
Prices Daily Produce Receipts
Are Xoiv Posted at the
Board of Trade.
The Columbia River salmon season hajl
been a falure up to date, so far as the can
nen are concerned. The pack up to the
present time has been but little more than
0 per cent ot what It was at this date a
year ago. Canners are Inclined to account
lor the shortage on the theory that the
river has been overfished. It Is probable that
when the later hatchery fish appear the
run w'U Improve, but It Is not thought the
pack this season will reach that of
Tormer years. Under the circumstances the
t anners are not In a hurry to name opening;
prices tor the 1008 pack. Commenting on the
situation, the New York Journal of Com
merce says:
It Is understood that the number of or
ders booked subject to approval of prices
Is as large as In previous years, and that
in some quarters there has been a dispo
sition shown to increase quantities, but
whether these orders will be confirmed
when the prices are made will depend alto
gether upon what the prices are. There has
been talk of an advance of 1C a dozen
over the opening figures of 1907, but the
concensus of opinion among Jobbers and
brokers Is that this is not a year when an
advance in price will bo accepted readily
by the distributing trade or consumers, and
If the packers find it necessary to raise
their quotations there Is likely to be a con
siderable scaling down of advance orders
when confirmations are sought by the
sellers.
In spot Columbia River salmon the Bup
tPly, except of half pounds, is light. The
eiw-yover of the latter Is said to be large,
mainly as a result of the poor quality of a
good deal of the fish that was put Into half
pound, cans last year. Holders are represent
ed to be very anxious to reduce their stocks
and are making prices on it which. In some
instances at least, represent a considerable1
loss. The concessions made, however, fall
. to stimulate the consuming demand. If
there Is any advance In prices on this sea
son's pack It Is extremely doubtful that
nalf-pounds will participate in it.
DAIRY PKODUCK RECEIPTS TOSTED
Important Feature of the Portland Board
of Trade Sen-Ice.
The Board of Trade has Inaugurated a
new feature that will prove to be of great
benefit to the produce interests of the city.
It Is the .collection and tabulation of pro
duce receipts each day which will be posted
it the Board at noon. These statistics are
collected from all the railroad and ex
jress companies and steamboat lines and
ire accurate and complete. The knowll Ige
of what the city Is receiving each day will
be an Important factor in the adjusting of
prices.
Tho produce members of the Board will
hold a meeting at 8 P. M. Thursday to dls
:uss matters connected with the trade, both
on nnd off the floor of the Exchange. A
meeting of the grain interests has been
called for noon Friday when It is probable
the official grain committee will be ap
pointed. N'o sales were announced at yesterday's
session, but an offer was posted to buy 200
" cubes of extra creamery butter at 2214
v cents. .
Produce receipts for' the 24 hours ending
at 11 A. M. 'yesterday were as follows: 103
(-Ta"i'S butter. 131 cases eggs, 21 coops chjek-
CnS. 8 GOODS- ducks. .1-1 vtnl 1A h... a
muttons, 1 box dressed chickens, 160 boxes

r ( 2a boxes cherries, 50 crates strawberries,
o boxes 'cucumbers.
HOP OUTLOOK IX GERVAIS SECTION
Vine Coming on Slowly nnd Missing Hills
Rrtwrted Reduced Acrenjre.
GKRVA1S, Or., May 12. (Special.) There
Is an Improvement in the hop market, and
whether it is the result of actual demand or
the fear of a shortage remains to be seen.
There Is a poorer prospect for a crop than
there has been in many years. The vine Is
coming on slowly and growers report more
missing hills than u.ouaI. Those that do come
are not strong and healthy. There is un
questionably a short yield in prospect, as well
as an unusual shortage of acreage. The
number of yards that will not be cultivated
1 much greater than reported. Again, nu
. merous yards will not be cared for this sea
son, but will he left to stand and will not
even be kept off the ground; other yards have
been plowed once, so' as to keep them In
good condition for the coming year. It w.ould
not be a surprrae to hopmen here if there
was a crop of BO.oOti to 70.(XK hales this crop
season in the entire State of Oregon, or about
a one-half crop.
There are over looo acres of hops grown
In the Oervals section and as many as flouo
bales have beeen shipped through this station
In one year. The list of acreage plowed up
follows: Krank Buekay, 18: Owar Olson. IS;

STEADY DEMAND FOR STRAWBERRIES
California Fmlt Sells Much Better Than
Oregon.
California strawberry receipts wera fairly
large yesterday and the. demand was good.
On the best Jessies. $1.30 was quoted, while
Dollar berries sold at $1.75. Second-grade
fruit went lower. The quality of the Oregon
berries received so far has not been up to
the average. Quotations yesterday ranged
from 15 centsdown to 10 cents. Among the
day's receipts was a car of Mediterranean
sweet oranges.
Two cars of California Bermuda onions
arrived and the price was dropped to $2.50
per crate. A quantity of Crystal Wax
onions came In and they sold at the same
price as Bermudas. A shipment of two
crates of red sweet potatoes was received
from Honolulu.
BUTTER MOVES READILY AT PRICE
Poultry Is Plentiful but in Good Demand.
Eggs tAr Firm.
There was no chftngo in the butter situa
tion yesterday. The demand was good and
the market was quoted firm at the prices
fixed Monday.
Kites continued firm at IS V4 iff 10 cents
with a good local demand. Retailers com
plain that much of the stock offered on
Front street is inferior, being the culls
taken from eggs sorted for storage.
Poultry receipts were the largest of the
week, but there was a first-class, demand,
especially for chickens, and all prices were
firmly maintained.
Stiff Demand for Milling Wheat.
TACOMA, Wash., May 12. (Special.) As
the .eason advances and the stock of availa
ble wheat becomes less, the demand for choice
milling wheat ie sharper ami prices for car
load lots are stronger, frequently being front
2 to 3 cents above quotations for export grain
Cr.olce milling wheat is quoted at !M) cents
for bluestem, fH cents for rlub and 87 cents'
for red. Prices for export range about 3 cents

MARKET NEEDS CONTROL
Exportation of Gold May ,Be Ke
8 limed In the Xear Future.
Prices Sag at the Close.
Bonds Are Irregular.
NEW YORK, May 12. The stock market
was rather sharply reactionary at one period
today, and the watchful professional ele
ment thought they were witnessing the oft
expected culmination of the upward move
ment. The effective control of the market,
which has been in evidence for many days
past, was once more reasserted and when
this was perceived the bear party once
more retreated by buying to cover shorts,
thus helping on the rally, as they have
done so often here recently. The control
of the market relaxed again late in the
day.
The Union Pacific bond issue Is the most
Important event from & financial stand
point in prospect. The rumor of a hitch
In the transaction received little attention
here, as the belief Is held that the flota
tion Is specially arranged already. Condi
tions moved further toward the gold export
point, and It is now considered probable
that a consfterable sum will ge out this
week, although discount rates declined in
London and Berlin today. Treasury figures
show that the banks have repaid not only
on the Installment of Government deposits
called on May 9, but also part of that
called for May 23, thus Indicating the sense
of repletion of money. The $20,323,117 de
cline In value of April agricultural exports,
compared with April last year, makes an
other Influence In forcing out gold.
The lifting of special stocks formed the
method of supporting the market against
the forces of depression. The copper indus
trials were made strong in face of the
reduction in the Qulncy mining dividends
for the quarter to $1, compared with $1.50
for the preceding quarter, following suc
cessive seductions from the $4.50 rate paid
for the first two quarter last year. Prices
yielded again after the recovery and closed
weak.
Bonds were Irregular. Total sales, par
value, $3,800,000. United States bonds were
unchanged on call.

VESSEL LOST 12 YEARS
Message From Montserrat Picked Up
Near Vaqulna llead.
NEWPORT, Or., May 12. (Special.)
What is thought to be a message from a
vessel lost 12 years ago, came to light
this week when a "bottle letter" was
turned over to Captain Wellander, of the
Lifeaaving crew, purporting to be the
news of the loss of the steamer Montserrat,
on November 6, 1S96.
The bottle containing the letter was
picked up by Fred Butterfield, of Siletz,
on the beach two miles north of Yaquina
Head. It was covered with barnacles
and 'badly chipped by rocks and the ac
tion of the waves. The paper inside reads
as follows:
"S. S. Munserat went down November
6. 1S96. CAPTAIN BLACKBURN.'
Nothing Is known here about any such
wreck, though it is known that a Captain
Blackburn did at one time command a
steamer of that name. Tho place where
the bottle washed ashore is known for the
many pieces of drift thrown up by an
eddy, and two bottles sent adrift by the
Government have already been picked
up at the same spot.
