Eastern Markets Affected by
Coast Crop Reports.
POOR OUTLOOK IN SOUTH
Foreign Demand Opens Up for Spot j
Prunes Slow Buying in Local
Market Strawberry Ke
cefpts Are Insufficient.
While the Eastern market for spot
Italian prunes continues slow, according to
the latest mail advices, there has been some
stiffening in the market for old California
prunes as a result of the poor outlook for
the current season's crop. With normal busi
ness conditions, both Oregon and California
prunes would doubtless be much higher. It
Is now said the damage to the California
crop has been much greater than was at
first believed. It is estimated by some au
thorities that the output of the Santa Clara
Valley, the great prune growing center of
California, will not exceed 10,000,000
pounds, which is about 10 per cent of a
normal season's yield for that section. While
this may be exaggerated, the report has,
nevertheless, stiffened the vws of holders
in the East- The demand for spot goods In
New York, while not active, is increasing
as prunes are one of the cheapest of food
products now on the market, and the neces
sity for exercising economy in purchases In
clines consumers more and, more to such
relatively cheap commodities.
Greater interest Is being shown in futures
though as yet It Is confined to inquiries for
prices on the new crop. Packers as a rule
are reluctant to commit themselves to defi
nite quotations, but In some quarters busi
ness could be done on a 4c f. o. b. Coast
bag basis for Santa Claras and 3 flic f. o. b.
base for outside fruit. These prices, how
ever, seem to be above the views of buyers,
but It is reported that exporters are show
ing a willingness to meet the Ideas of pack
ers. Sales for Europe on 3c f. o. b.
Coast ffasls are reported. The last stock
report Issued by the London Dried Fruit As
sociation showed a very heavy shrinkage In
the supply carried there, as compared with
that at the same time last year. On April
30 the stock of California prunes In London
warehouses was 2O.0.14 boxes, against 62.441
boxes at the same time in 1907.
STROXO EXPORT DEMAND KOR HOPS
J-oreign Buyers Alw Operating in California
and New Yorv.
Business in the local hop market Is on a
small scale. Buyers and sellers are apart
In their views and as yet show no disposi
tion, to come together. In the meantime the
dealers are busy getting their recent pur
chases off and welcome the breathing spell.
According to advices received from Cali
fornia, the. market there has likewise been
active as a result of the export demand.
The representative of a New York house
purchased about l.MM) bales of Sacramentos
at 4 4 4 'cents cars, and there is an
unconfirmed rumor that 8 cents was paid for
a' small lot of Sonomas. There has also
been export buying In New York State re
cently, where 600 to 700 ttaies have been
picked up quietly at prices ranging from 6
to 11 cents to the grower.
LKiHT LOCAL ARRIVALS OF XXKiS
With a Good Demand Market Has an Vp
wwd Tendency.
Eggs are very firm under continued light
receipts. Offers to bay 50 cases at IS cents
and to sell 100 cases at 19 cents were posted
at the Board of Trade yesterday. On the
street the general quotation on candled
stock was 19 cents, with a few dealers hold
ing at 20 cents.
Poultry arrivals -were larger than usual,
but the market held steady.
Butter cleans up promptly at the recent
advance and the tone of the market, eo far
as the city creameries are concerned. Is
firm. Steady conditions prevail on Front
street.
There was no further change In the
cheese situation, which is weak as a result
of large local stocks and a subsidence of
the shipping demand.

P E N I LETON READY FOR WOOL SALES
Outlook. 1m Not Promising from Sellers'
Point of View.
PKNDLETON, Or May 20. (Special.)
TVltn approximately 2,000.000 pounds of the
finest wool ever jrrown in Eastern Oregon
offered lor sale, the wool-selling season will
be opened m this city Monday, May 20.
At prseent the outlook is not very promis
ing from the sellers' standpoint, but hope
o better prices has not yet been abandoned.
It looks now "as if there would be only the
usual number of buyers here and these all
declare they cannot pay anything like
former prices. Flock owners are still hoping,
however, that the Idaho buyers will again
Invade this market and cause the regulars
to bid up. Last season a number of Idaho
buyers happened In a few days before the
sa'.es dates with the result that the market
was sprung all the way from 1 to cnts
per pound.
Without exception the quality and staple
of this year's clip is better than that of
sny former year. in addition to the fact
t:,at the hocks are of better grade, the sea
son has been perfect for the proper devel
opment of the fleece.
There have been no sales made in this
virinity this season and the only one re
ported In Eastern Oregon was the one made
at Heppntr Junction last week when the
Le Yops clip of 1J.(KN pounds was purchased
by the Dalles Scouring Mills Company at
10 cents.
Steady Inquiry for Wheat.
There Is still a steady demand for wheat
for shipment to California, but quotations
have mt been raised above i)2 cents for blue-
S FIRMER
tem and S9 cents for club and some buyers
are Quoting & cent under these prices. There
Is a little Inquiry- by some of the local mills
for strictly choice bluestem In small lots,
for which a high as t" cents has been
offered.
Th'e California demand for oats has about
subsided and local prices are no more than
steady.
barp Decline in Condensed Cream.
A reduction of 40 cents per case In con
densed cream, announced by one of the
Coast companies, was the only development
of importance in the grocery trade yester
day. This sharp decline is expected to start
price cutting: by other condensing Interests.

CHANGES ARE SHARP
Violent Fluctuations in the
Stock Market.
BY 'BOLD MANIPULATORS
Sensational Advance in Missouri Pa
cific on Rumors of New Alliances
for the Gould Roads Clos
ing Tone Is Strong.
NEW YORK, May 20. The violent and
feverish action of today's stock market
served to confuse greatly the views of the
speculative element, and in consequence
served to Intimidate the less powerful class
of operators who saw prices moving in mer
curial fashion apparently ai the will of
hidden forces. That operators of powerful
resources were using violent manipulative
measures to effect the wide and sudden fluc
tuations in prices was patent, even to super
ficial observers.
The early part of the day was given over
to a laborious repair process of the Inroads
on. prices effected yesterday and early today.
The sensational advance in Missouri Pacific
and the response by sympathy of the whole
Gould group, was the effective medium for
supporting prices during the day toward a
rally. Mysterious allusions to new alliances
for the Gould railroad enterprises, involving
financial support from the wealthiest Indi
vidual American capitalists, made up the
motive power of this movement.
Efforts to secure authentic confirmation or
denial of these rumors were fruitless and
the news to account for the break in prices
was of a similarly shadowy kind. Last
prices were generally below those of last
night, but the closing tone was strong and
at substantial recoveries from the lowest
prices of the day.
Bonds were easy. Total sales, par value,
$3,440,000. United States bonds were un
changed on call.

There was little activity in the Patten

yesterday was not in evidence today. Offer

than yesterday. May opened c higher, at

clow d at the low .price of tne day. Several
of the leading commission houses and one
in which Patten Is a partner were free
sellers of May corn. Reports from the
country were to the effect that liberal ship
ments were being made to apply on May
contracts. The control of the market which
Is possessed by Patten at present consists
of his possession of large amounts of cash
corn and with liberal shipments coming In
the market today showed a tendency toward

In Tuesday's issue of this paper at about the same
location in the financial page as this article appears
I ran an advertisement of the Coal Creek Coal &
Mining Company. I tried, in a brief, concise way,
to state the facts as they actually exist. I had
some favorable comment on this part of the article,
but evidently the advertisement as a whole has not
appealed to the right party. To such an individual
I will 'say that this is the ONE OPPORTUNITY of
a lifetime. To the man or woman with five to ten
thousand dollars there is an opening to get into
a business that the future oifers possibilities that can
be reckoned, not only in tens but in hundreds of
thousands of dollars. This is no idle dream, as the
dreamer of today is often the powerful factor in the
business of tomorrow. "We will go to the mine as it
is today. There we find. 2700 acres of one-time
timber land. The heaviest and best merchantable
timber has been cut and shipped, but there still re
mains sufficient to last the mine for ages, and at
the same time build a respectable-sized town. Under
these 2700 acres we have proved that there is one
vein of coal 105 feet below the surface that averages .
by feet in thickness. This is good lignite coal, suit
able for domestic use. Suppose we were to install a
core drill and sink 1000 feet and demonstrate that
there were foiy or five, or even six veins of coal .
underlying this one? Can you imagine the possibili
ties of a field like this? This coal was formed from
peat, and of course, the lower stratas or veins are
older, have been under . greater pressure, and are
more highly 'carbonized, hence of more value for
steaming and coking purposes. From Coos Bay
north through Centralia, Chehalis, back of Tacoma
and into British Columbia, this field of coal can be
distinctly traced. At every point on this belt where
deep mining has been done veins of coal of high
commercial value have been found. This is a
project the Chamber of Commerce or any public
spirited man should take a hand in. Think what it
means for the Port, of Portland. Our new bunkers
will be on the Columbia River, where any ship that
can come over the bar can load. Perhaps Captain
Jones and his son thought as much about personal
gain as they did about public spirit when they put up
$50,000 to develop this property, but suffice to say
they did it, and have brought the project that much
nearer a point where it will start on a broad career.
The water power, in connection with the coal de
posit, is perhaps as valuable as the coal itself. Prop
erly developed, it will furnish power for the mine
and railroad, light the village and mine and thereby
cheapen the cost of production. To anyone at all
.familiar with strictly coal camps, there are many
features of the business that will appeal to them
which come directly under the management of the
mine and produce a revenue. These include fur
nishing homes for the miners, company stores, the
marketing of coal, etc. Every feature of the busi
ness here set forth is feasible and practicable, and
when it is accomplished, as it surely will be, it will
simply be history repeating itself in a coal camp.
The man or woman broad enough to view this propo
sition in its true light will be the one to whom the
reward will be given.
