THE MORNING OREGONIAN, TUESDAY, MAY 26, 1908. 17- FACE A SHORTAGE Coast Markets Likely to Run Out of Old Potatoes. SUPPLY IS NEARLY GONE Thirty Days Requirements Must Be Filled In Some Way Farmers Are Very Firm Holders. California Conditions. The potato market was not as excited yes terday aa It vbi Saturday, but was never theless very firm. Buying In the, country wu reduced to email proportions by reason of the. firm news displayed by holders. Nearly all the shippers were anxious to eecure sup plies, but found It Impossible to do mo unless by sharply raising-their bids. Thia was not done, so far as could be learned, and business was therefore on a small scale. It was thought, in some quarters, that the San Francisco spurt has exhausted Itself and It ts known that some of the buyers have been ordered to withdraw from the market. This move, however, is most likely only temporary, as San Francisco and, in fact, all the Coast cities, face a serious shortage. Owing to the lateness of the new crop, the Bay City will want old potatoes for a, month yet and the question that confronts the trade there 1 where to get the supply. The stock left In the Northwest will be needed at home, an old potatoes wtU be required here until July 1. Western Oregon Is practically bare of choice hipping" stock and only a limited quantity of ordinary potatoes Is In sight, " though the ruling high prices may bring out some sup plies that are not known to exist. Stocks In Eastern Oregon are also much reduced be cause of the recent heavy shipments from that territory. Local Jobbers yesterday adjusted their quo tations to the new "-eondltlons by advancing the price to the trade to 00 cents. C1TEE8E GOING TO CAUFORNIA. Iarge Shipment; Arrives In Transit From Tillamook. The ateamer Elmore arrived yesterday with 2000 boxes of cheese from Tillamook. In the weakened condition of the market, this supply would probably break prices, but fortunately for the producers, the shipment was only in transit and by this time Is on Its way to San Francisco. There Is a fair Inquiry in the local market from California and1 also wme demand from the Sound cities and this keeps prices steady. With a cessation of the out siiie buying, quotations wduld have to drop. The butter market was reported firm by the city creameries and steady by the commission handlers. K$g receipts by freight were fairly large for the first day of the week. Buying waa not particularly -brisk. Quotations were un changed. Poultry waa in good1 supply, slow of sale and weak in price. Prune Crop in California. The California Fruit Grower says of the prune crop in that state: "The growing prune crop continues to look mailer and smaller. Estimates now are for about one-half of last year crop, which was of itself only about half a crop. This will put the output for the state this year at somewhere In the neighborhood of R0, 000,000 pounds. Should the Santa Clara Valley turn out as short as some now predict -think, esti mates will be reduced again." Strawberries In Poor Condition. There waa a full supply of strawberries yesterday, but a considerable portion of the receipts were In poor order. The best Ore gon brought 17 He per pound, while others sold as low as 10 cents. California berries were quoted at $1.601. TO per orate. Receipts of vegetables Included two cars of cabbage and the first straight car this season of California red onions. Sugar Drops 0 Cents. All grades of sugar dropped 20 cents per hundred yesterday. It waa a refinery decline and was said to reflect the weakened condi tioa of the sugar markets In the East, where refined sugar dropped 10 cents. Friday and raws have been declining; steadily for some time past. t Advance in Local Flour Quotations. The expected advance In flour prices oc curred yesterday, all local grades going up 20 cents per barrel. This advance waa the re sult of the strength of the wheat market. Bank Clearings.

' LONDON A FREE SELLER Reports on Storms in the Southwest Cause Some Misgivings End of Gold Export Movement Expected Soon. . NHW TORK, May 25. Measures were taken In the stock market today to arrest the violent decline Into whlcb the price move ment had Tun on Saturday. After these had been made effective, proceedings became dull and uninteresting and almost barren of evenba. London was a free seller of stock, here In the first half day and this was pointed to as a reflection of the unfavorable view taken by foreign Investor. In American securi ties of the new activity of the Government against railrooad corporations signalized In the New Haven suit. Less was heard of that subject In the local discussion. Reports of floods in the Southwestern States caused some misgivings and the grain markets were not free from signs of anxiety on the same score. The outward movement of gold continued, although with some symptoms of the end of the demand approaohing soon. Paris again secured all of the newly arrived gold In the London market, but ft decline in the price of bar gold there and a r!ee In the London ex change rate at Pari. Indicated the unlikeli hood that the movement would be continued. The National Bank of Germany's strong week ly returns seem to herald a reduction in Its discount rate. The sub-treasury statement showed a gain by that Institution on Satur day, operations of $11,197,000, representing the progress of the return by the banks of the Government', deposits -In response to the Treasury call. While this completes the pres ent demand of the Treasury Department, It Is considered certain that, further withdrawals will take place at an early day, a. the course of the Government', finance, clearly fore shadows the neceseity for this. Time money rates were reported somewhat firmer, although not quotably higher. The close was strong. Bonds were Irregular. Total Mies, par value, $3,276,000. United States boada were un changed on call. CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS. ' Closing Sales. High. Low. Bid.
