PRICE WILL BE LOW
Wool May Be Withdrawn
Sealed-Bid Sale.
at
FIRST SALE SATURDAY
Farmers Are Expected to I old Their
Clips for a Possible Rise Later.
Hops Are Not Moving
Freely.
Grrat interest is dt.ayM by the wool
trade in the coming Bales in Eastern Oregon,
the first of which occurs at Arlington next
Saturday. The grneral opinion is that the
auctions will not be a success. No one pre
tends to know what prices will be bid. but
It is safe to say the offers will not be satis
factory to the growers, AH the sheep
raisers are now acquainted with the unsatis
factory condition of the wool market and
they are prepared for lower prices than
last year. At points where the 1907 clip
old for 20 cents, the growers are looking
for this vears market to open around 18
or possibly IT cents. When they find, as
may be the case, that the buyers will bid
only 10 cents or seme such low figure, It ia
more than likely they will withdraw their
wools from sale.
Shearing Is general In most of the Eastern
counties, but not much of the wool has been
hauled to market yet. According to the
Vale Orlano, the clips are beginning to reach
the warehouses there. That paper says:
"It is estimated that fully two and a half
million pounds of wool will be stored in Vale
this year and arrangements have been made
to properly store and care for the same. It
Is feared that the price will be low this
year, and many of the growers witl hold
until the market has become thoroughly
established before attempting to sell. Tha
wool men are all In & condition to hold
their wool, as they are in most cases free
from Indebtedness."
CHEESE DOWN TO THIRTEEN CENTS
Market Is Orerntocked and very Weak City
Butter Firm.
The cheese market has turned very weak
and prices of twins and triplets have de
clined to 13 cents, at which stocks are of
fered freely. I-oeal receipts are large and
supplies are also accumulating at the fac
tories at Tillamook. There is a fair local
demand, but very little shipping business is
being done. Seattle Is buying some, but
the San Francisco demand ' has ceased.
Southern California cities are out of tho
market, as Eastern cheese is offered lower
there. Competition from the East has also
put an end temporarily to orders from Spo
kane and points In that territory.
City creamery butter was quoted a cent
higher, at 25 cents, and the market was
firm, though there was no change in coun
try creamery prices.
Eggs were In light supply generally and
fresh ranch stock was firm.
The poultry market was firm, with a
strong demand for chickens, hen turkeys
and Spring ducks. The latter were quoted
at 221!6 cents The kind wanted was not
less than three pounds In weight.
FOP-GROWERS STRONG IX VIEWS.
Take Adrantag-e of the Keen Competition
and Hold for Higher Prices.
The movement In the hop market has
slow ed down, materially, not-because of any
abatement In the demand, but owing to the
difficulty of transacting business. Growers
have become very firm In their views, as a
consequence of the repeated offers made by
buyers, and somthing of a dead-lock has
ensued, that can only be broken by the
granting of the concessions on one side or
the other.
A few of the dealers are of the opinion
that a quiet spell will weaken the holders,
but It seems more probable, in view of the
depleted supplies, that the buyers will have
to give in and raise their bids. If they want
to do business.
STRAWBERRIES FROM I-OS ANGELES.
Southern California Make Cp for Light Re
celpts From Florin.
A car of Los Angeles berries, consisting
of 1300 crates, arrived yesterday. The fruit
was In good condition and sold at $1.25(9
1.8.1 per crate of 12 pounds. Receipts of
Florin berries were only 614 crates, and they
old at the prices of Monday. Oregon ber
ries were in light supply and firm. A car
of oranges was received.
The steamer brought up a fair supply of
vegetables, but the two -cars of cabbago
failed to arrive. New celery Is on the mar
ket and quoted at 83 cents per dozen. As
paragus is growing scarce.
Receipts of Produce.
Receipts of produce for the 2 hours end
ing it A. M., yesterday, were reported by
the Board of Trade as follows: 55 boxes
asparagus. 5ft boxes -apples. 12 boxes beans,
1 beef, lrt.1 boxes butter, 14 boxes clams. 54
boxes cheese. B2 boxes cherries, 36 coops
chickens. 3W4 gallons cream, 4 boxes crabs,
t coop ducks. 218 cases eggs. 1 box egg

hogs, 45 gallons milk, 88 sacks oysters, 55
sacks peas. 1 crate raspberries, 35 boxes
rhubarb, 614 crates California strawberries,
48 cratea Oregon strawberries, 62 veal.
Potato Market Very Firm.
The potato market is very firm and 70
cents Is being paid in the country for No. 1
stock. The stlfTnecs of the market is due
to the strong demand from the California
cities where a temporary shortage exists,
owing to the late season for New Rlvere.
As soon as the new potatoes begin arriving
in quantity, this pressure to buy will cease.
Stocks, however, are well cleaned up in
Western Oregon and only about 100 cars re
main to be shipped. The season will end
about June 1, and it Is probable the supply
will ljt that long. A small shipment of
potatoes is being made to Alaska, but the
Sound cities are rot In the market for Ore
gone, High Price Offered for Wheat.
The California demand for wheat con
tinues strong, and dealers are offering up to
Wl cents for blue-stem, but farmers are slow
sellers, even at this price. Oats and barley
are steady. The local flour market Is firm,
but the export trade is dull.

BREAK AT THE CLOSE
Prices in the Early Trading the
Highest Since Last Fall Im
portant Portion, of the De
mand Comes From Abroad.
new YORK, May 10. Another day
uaiiBTLmna or more man a million shares
marked the continued speculative interest In
the stock market today. Dealings at the
outset set a pace for animation and vigor
oywara movement not equalled, since
the rise was inaugurated. The early promise
was not maintained, either tn the degreee
of activity or in the advance in prices, the
final Issue being a disorderly break at the
close.
Agile professional traders were on the
floor. They were lying in wait today to
add the weight of their short-selling to the
heavy offerings of profit-taking sales, which
came Into the market.
Reports from mercantile quarters admit
that buyers are taking hold with greater
confidence than at any time In six months
past. - While the effect of Wall street's dem
onstration of returning confidence is coming
back by reflection from the country's busi
ness affairs, Wall street itself was disposed
to pause and take breath today, after the
opening- spurt In the market. That out
burst established a level of prices higher
than any heretofore touched on this move
ment and since a considerable time before
the October panic of last year. The sud
den expansion in the buying at the outset
offered so attractive an opportunity for
turning paper profits Into cash that It was
generally availed of. An Important portion
of the bidding came from foreign sources.
Bonds were irregular. Total sales, par
value. $5.438.0o. United Stat-es bonds were
unchanged on call.

which the Municipal Traction Company is
operating shall become effective. This
proposal is based upon new initiative and
referendum law enacted by the Legislat
ure a few weeks ago. The petition will
make it obligatory on the council to sub
mit the matter to a vote. The movement
was started by the strikers.
Should the vote be against the fran
chise, it would have- the effect of inval
idating it, it is alleged, and this in turn
would result In the Traction Company's
losing, at least temporarily, control of
the street-railway traffic here.
President Dupont of the Municipal
Traction Company said he would not re
cede from his former position in refusing
to take the old employes back upon the
old basis. He said they must go back
as "new" men. Vice-President Behner
of the union steadfastly refused to con
cede this point.
Another suburban trolley car was at
tacked late tonight, when a Cleveland &

on Iorain avenue. The front of the car
was demolished by a dynamite cartridge.
No one was seriously hurt.

CLAIRVOYANTS IN TOILS
Five Self-Styled Seers Disregard
License Ordinance.
Had delvers into the future taken
more pains with their own destiny and
less with those who pay for insight in
to the mysteries of the future, they
would not now be in trouble. As it is
now, five female trance mediums, clair
voyants, palmists, phrenologists and
disciples of the occult are under arrest,
all charged with having failed to secure
city licenses before practicing their art
on the superstitious simple. They must
have forgotten to peer into the future
insofar as that state related to them
selves, otherwise the trouble would
have been foreseen and circumvented
by the securing or the required licenses.
The harvest reaped by the police yes
terday includes Virginia Rowe, Mme
Triselda Deleroy. Mme. Edward, E.
piers and Mme. Hyde. All were released
on bail after reading the palms of the
station force at police headquarters.
They will be tried in the Municipal
Court.
