Crop Prospects.
The first canteloupea from California
should be In market before the .week Is
over. The Southern district have begun
. making expresa shipment in a email way.
4 but moit of them have gone East. Last
year Portland received ita first crate on
Afar 26. and it void for $7. This year the
crop la a little later.
Imperial Valley. California, will begin
hipping' In Colorado from El Centra and
Heber about June 1 and other polnta In the
valley about June 10. According to advices
reeelved yesterday. Imperial Valley glvea a
promise of a total crop of something more
than 2000 can, though this estimate may
nave to be scaled down somewhat later. Re
cent winds nave set the crop back about a
week and have Injured It a little. Besides
that, the new ground has not yielded as
well as that which has been cultivated be
fore. The total acreage la something over
TOOO. These) figures do not Include the
Coachalla Valley.
Brawley alone will have about 800 car
loads, according to present estimates, ob
tained from growers themselves by agents
of the pacific Fruit Express. Brawley Is the
big cantaloup center of the valley, but
other points give the following estimates:
KJ Centro, 8T5; Holtville, 100; Oleason, 80;
Molonland. 20; Calexlco, 90; Ueber. i0; im
perial, 203; Keystone, 200.
Yuma will this year begin to ship canta
loupes In carload lots for the first time, and
will have about TS cars. Phoenix, Aria., will
nave 200 or 8O0 cars.
A new cantaloupe country which has
just been opened Is the Moapa Valley in
Nevada, on the Bait Lake line. It Is just
about being settled, but It will have about
75 oars of cantaloupes for shipment this
year. They will not com on, however, un
disposed of.
HOW TITE POTATO GAM3B 18 WORKED
Ban Francdsoo Trade Tryinsj to Corn the
Market.
What appears to be a complicated situa
tion exists In the potato market, but the
appearance Is probably due to manipula
tion on the part of the San Francisco- trade.
Dealers In the Bay City are sending tele
grams here to the effect that the market
Is overloaded, weak, declining and otherwise
going to the dogs. This looks like a sad
state of affairs, but the telegrams fool no
one. San Francisco Is not overloaded with
Oregon potatoes, unless storage stocks are
much larger than they were believed to be,
and a crumbling market Is Impossible with
the available supply In Oregon practically
exhausted and the end of the season a
month and a half off. It Is evident from
they want to get Oregons low so they can
buy up what Is left and after they have
cornered1 the market, let prices take their
natural course. If there is going to be an
advance, and It looks that way, the Oregon
farmer Is more entitled to the benefit than
the San Francisco dealer. The growers In
this state are fully posted on the situation
and are turning down all offers made on
ie bast of the lately current prices. No
fcuilness In the country was reported yes
terday.
The local jobbing trade- Is affected by
the general situation and the Front-street
market has become very firm, pome of the
Sealers raised the jobbing price to $1 per
Back yesterday.
HOP PROHPECTS IX ENGLAND POOR
Ironmonger Believes an Import Duty Is
Improbable.
The hop market has been quiet this week.
as dealers hae found It almost Impossible
to buy, because of the firmness of growers
A good demand Is reported for both new
and old bops, both on export and speculative
account. J. N. Hoffman, of Forest Grove,
who has one of the best lots left In Wash
ington County, says- he was offered 7 cents
for the lot. but refused to accept It.
Ironmonger, of London, yeeteYday cabled
follows:
S "Estimate grubbing at 0000 acres. Culti
vation Is below the average. In our opinion,
a tariff on imported hops Is very Improbable.
Market Is steadier with firmer feeling.'
STRAWBERRY SUPPLY 18 INADEQUATE
California Season About at an Knd Nesr
Apricots Arrive.
There was a shortage In the supply of
Strawberries yesterday. The California
hipping season Is about over, only 8O0
crates coming up while the Oregon crop Is
not yet ready to take the place of the
Southern product. The market was conse
quently very firm. California Dollars sold
at $1.85 1.90, no Jessies arriving. Oregon
berries were quoted at 1B17 cents, with
not half enough on hand to fill orders.
Cherries were also in light supply and firm
Gooseberries were plentiful and steady. A
few crates of California apricots were re
cetved In rather green condition. They sold
at $3 per crate.
Another car of red onions arrived, also
two cars of mixed vegetables. Bermuda
enlona are now guoted lower at $2 per
crate.

QUICK SAliES OF TTEW BURIING
TN ISSUE.
stocks Decline ae Wheat Prices Ad
vane Contraction in the
Volume of Dealings.
NEW YORK, May 26. The signal con
traction of the volume of the stock market
was the most notable feature about it to
day. Dullness overcame the dealings after
the experimental attempt to continue the
advanced yesterday. When It became manl
iest tnat no important operations were fol
lowing this rise in prices, it was concluded
mat ine sponsors for tne market were sat
isfied with tne protection they had afforded
against the acute depression at the end of
last weeks Their manifest disinclination to
follow the advance with buying prompted
tne late ires a outpouring; of stocks.
Some Influence was allowed to the sale
of Oh lea go. Burlington & Quincy bonds as
tne eause 01 tne early advance in prices.
The intention to Issue these bonds had not
been heard of when the market closed yes
terday and the subscription of $16,000,000
was announced almost as soon as business
had commenced. The snoflcription price
was as compared with 86 at which the
Pennsylvania 4s were sold. Modifying con
ditions in the transaction were the large
amount of the total authorisation for the
new Issue. $300,000,000, beins; larirer than
has ever been authorised by an American
railroad, and th$ lower Hen of the Burling
ton bond. The difference was Indicated In
the price at which the new bonds were
sold "when lseued" on the curb, the first
sale at t belnjr subsequently shaded to be
low 07, while In the case of Pennsylvania
bonds, par vaJ ue was reached before the
subscriptions were closed. The auick sale
of the offering and the price realized for It
were judged by bond men to represent an
Improvement over the bond market position,
as compared with the Pennsylvania salest
The deductions drawn from the Incident
were considered Important. A free supply
of capital for fixed investment was in-
London was a free seller At stocks here
early in the day. Reports of flood damage
and the sensitiveness of the commodities
markets to crop news were not regarded
favorably. Declines in discount rates in
London and Berlin marked the decreasing
force of the probable demand for gold on
New York. At the same time. Western
money markets reported a gradual change
In the course of the currency movement
.which marks the approach of the crop
moving season. Any further decline In in
teres t rates here seems to be arrested, al
though there is no positive rise In rates yet
to record.
The lato break In prices) was a direct re
sponse to the .contrary movement in th
price of wheat.
. Bonds were irregular. Total sales, par
value, $2,208,000. United States bonds were
unchanged on-call.

SHORTS BUY FREELY
July Wheat Advances 2 Cents
at Chicago.
VERY STRONG AT CLOSE
Large Decrease in Visible Supply
and Unfavorable Weather Cause .
the Strength Jump of Over
5 Cents in May Corn.
CHICAGO. May 26. The wheat market
opened weak because of the failure of the
market at Liverpool to respond to yester
day's advance here. During the first half
of the session the market was nervous and
moved easily (n either direction. Toward the
middle of the day, however, shorts began to
buy freely and the market was strong from
that time until the close. Dry weather in
Hungary, a decrease of 2.415.000 bushels In
tne visible supply, and additional reports of
damage by drouth ln Kansas were the prin
cipal reasons for the strength. The market
closed strong. July opened c to
c lower at 903t9Oc sold to BOKe and
then advanced to 921c. The close was at
02 c May ranged between $1.02 and
$1.06 and closed at $1.04.
An advance of 5c in the price of tne
May delivery was the feature of trading in,
xne corn, mamex. inner options joiq rrom
29c to 2e above the low point of
the day. The sharp upturn was due to con
tinued wet weather in the corn belt and a
forecast of more rain tomorrow in several
sections. Bull leaders were moderate buy
ers and this caused a lively scramble among
shorts for what little- offerings were put on
the market. The strength developed durlne;
the first half hour continued unabated for
the remainder of the day. The close was
strong, July at 68 36S c, and May at
7c, the high price:
uuts were arm in sympathy with wheat
and com. July closed at 45 c.
Provisions were firm because of the
strength of grain.' The market was fairly
active on good demand from shorts and
commission houses. At the close, July pork
was up 17 c, .lard was 12c higher and
ribs were T higher.
