Newspaper Page TextTIIE MORNING OREGONIAN, TUESDAY, MAY 19, 1908. 17 FRUITS IN DEMAND Strawberries Sell as Fast as Received. BIG DAY ON FRONT STREET Good Inquiry for AH Kinds of Fresh Produce Butter and Cheese Active Hop Market Is Strong. Yesterday was one of the beat days the produce district has seen this season. The demand for fruits and vegetables was ex ceedingly heavy and supplies of several lines were exhausted before the day was over. The demand for strawberries was par ticularly heavy. Receipts from California were lighter than usual, 1034 crates, as.the Florin supply is beginning to give out. JefBtes sold t 1.231.50 and Dollars at $1.001.75 per crate, and the arrivals were entirely cleaned up. A straight car cf Los Angeles berries will arrive today. Only SS crates' of Oregon strawberries were received, but today's receipts will probably be heavy. The market for Oregon berries was firmer yesterday and the best DlUard stock brought 1.1 cents per pound. Newberjf made Its first shipment of the season a crate of fancy, berries of the Gold Dollar variety arriving from that town. The market Is overstocked with early Cali fornia cherries of indifferent quality, which accounts for their stow sale. White cherries were quoted at SI 1.23 and blacks at $ 1 M per box. Advices from San Francisco yester day said that shipments from that point are now lighter owing to the cold weather. Two cars of bananas arrived In good condition. In the vegetable line stocKs of peas were very large and prices were lower at 67 cents. Rhubarb Is coming In less freely and Is firmer at 3 cents. A small shipment of eggplant came from Coachella and brought 2o cents per pound. A mixed car of vege tables was received during the day and the steamer last night brought a general assort ment of truck. Two cars of cabbage are due today. ADVANCE IN CITY BCTTER TODAY. Quotation on Extra Will Be Raled One Cent, to 35 Cents. The market on the leading grades of city creamery butter will be advanced 1 cent this morning to 25 cents. This action will be taken because the supply, though steadily Increasing, Is not sufficient for the require ments of the trade. This will make two advances since the production began grow ing, the former one having taken place on May 1 1, when the price of extras was ad vanced from 2"J4 to 24 cents. Portland's butter trade with the outside world is as suming large proportions and the creamery m-n find It difficult to fill their shipping orrlere. even while pricee In the East are declining. It Is not known how long the new price will hold, but there certainly will be no decline while orders continue as large as at present. . Country creamery butter generally "sold well yesterday, especially the cheaper grades, though some of the higher-priced brands did not move as freely as last week. STRONG DKMAND FOR CHOICE HOPS JiWrfr Grade Are Sympathetically lifted ' In lrioe. A strong tone prevails in the hop market, the natural effect of an urgent demand and a limited supply of desirable goods. There are rumors current of 7-cent deals, but they cannot be confirmed and probably exist only In the Imagination of someone who would like to see a 7-cent market. While most of the recent buying has been for London account, some of the purchases are known to be for American short sellers. who. In a scramble to cover have bid up prices against each other. This short scare, together with the export buying, has lifted the price of choice hops about 2. cents and the lower grades have been sympathetically advanced There Is a diversity of opinion as to what the next few weeks will bring forth, but none can deny that the market Just now la exceedingly strong. CHEESE 18 COMING IX FREELY. Good Loral and Shipping Demand Keeps the Market feteady. Cheese Is arriving freely from the Coast factories, yesterday's receipts, as reported to the Board of Trade, being 789 boxes. With a good local demand there Is also buying by Seattle and San Francisco and some Inquiry from other points, which keeps the market steady. Eggs were slow yesterday, but light ar rivals keep the market in a firm position. Very little poultry was received. Receipts of Produce. No offers to buy or sell were posted at the Foard of Trade yesterday, though the attendance of grain men was good. Among the visitors were E. W. Ferguson, of Moore, Ferguson A Co., San Francisco, and Louis Vlgeltus. of Nome. Receipts of produce In the 24 hours end ing at 11 A. M., were: 22 boxes asparagus, 41 boxes apples, 7 boxes beans, 2 beeves, . boxes butter, 22 boxes clams, 7S0 boxes cheese, 230 boxes cherries, 6 coops chickens, SIMS gallons cream, 7 boxes crabs, lo9 cases eggs, 2 boxes eggplant, 1S5 boxes fish, 2 boxes fruit, 12 hogs, 1S4 gallons milk, 9 muttons, 23 Crates oysters, 2 boxes oranges, KM sacks peas, 730 sacks potatoes. 1 crate raspberries, M34 crates California straw berries, 3S crates Oregon strawberries, 2 boxes squash, 3tf veal, 2 boxes vegetables.

ADVANCES ARE RAPID Heavy Buying of Harriman, Rocke feller and Gould Stocks Gold Bxport Movement Has No Effect on Sentiment. NEW TOHK. May 18. Speculative spirit was rampant about the stock exchange to day and professional traders were quick to follow any signs of an incipient movement in any quarter of the list. In the neighborhood of the exchange the market was described as a Harriman Rockefeller affair. The supposition of In fluential leadership In the buying was based on the fact that brokers credited with be ing the accepted medium of stock operation by the greit group of capitalists were open buyers on a large scale of varto.ua promi nent stocl.s, especially Vnlon Pacific, St. Paul. Reading and Southern Pacific. The rapid rise in prices of various stocks and the sudde'i manner in which they would start up into strength and activity from comparative quiet were marked features of the day. In some of the more dormant Issues these violent upshoota were followed by as sudden relapses, suggesting the suc cessful pursuit of an uncovered short Interest In the stock. There was a striking move ment during the day in the stocks of the Gould properties as a group. In spite of a sharp rise in the price of copper in the metal exchange, the copper shares were not prominent and were, in fact, reactionary In the early trading. The engagement of more gold for export to Germany and France was without effect on sentiment. After the late period of profit-taking, the market closed with the bull faction appar ently in continued control. Bonds were strong. Total sales, par value, fa.040.000. United States bonds were unchanged on call. CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS. Closing - Sales.. Adams' Express Amal Copper ....

NEW YORK. May 13. Flour Receipts, S IS The Coal Creek Coal & Mining Company can con tinue to mine and market coal at $6.00 per ton with out the aid of new capital. But $35,000 spent on the property in the next six months would place it in such shape that its output would be more than doubled, and the cost of production reduced to a minimum. There is a market here for every ton of coal we can mine, and the cheaper we can pro duce it the greater the profits will be. To anyone interested sufficiently to furnish part or all of this money, we dffer very liberal inducements. - The property consists of 2700 acres of coal land, located twelve miles west of Kelso, Washington. The present bunkers are built on a slough carrying fifteen feet of water running into . the Columbia River. The contemplated improvements include: Developing the water power, which is almost un limited, and opening up a new vein of coal in time for next Winter's business. The mine is shipping regularly and has been for the last six months. Evi dence of our faith in the property is shown by the fact that we have already spent $50,000 of our own money in development work and equipment. It is not to protect this investment or to reimburse our selves that we are seeking new capital, but to de velop our water power and open up a new vein of coal, thereby increasing our output to a point where the lowest cost of mining per ton can be obtained. We court a thorough investigation as to the merit of our product, the size of our coal veins and the extent of the deposit, also calling attention to the fact that we are practically on deep water, thus being entirely independent in the matter of trans portation. As an assurance that your money will earn you some returns, we guarantee not to accept any interest or dividends on our present holdings and investment until such time as your money has paid you 10 per cent annually. In other words, you have our present investment and the new one both working for you until it shall have earned 10 per cent on the new capital. We earned 12 per cent on our investment last year. On completion of the contemplated improvements the property should earn from fifteen to twenty-five per cent annually on its total investment. Shares are being offered at fifty cents each in blocks of two thousand and less. Individuals, trust companies, banks or estates wish ing to subscribe to this flotation will be accorded the fullest opportunity to investigate and assure themselves of the character, stability and soundness of. the investment, - Address, BERT D.
