CORN WILL BE HIGH
Futures Likely to Open at Stiff
Advance.
SMALL PACK INEVITABLE
Season Is Unusually Late in the
Principal Eastern Producing
Slates Tomatoes May Also
Open High.
Interest In tha grocery trade in future
canned foods increases as the season ad
vance. One of the -strongest Items In the
market at the present time Is corn and
there la every reason to 111 eve It will open
at higher prices than were a ehort time
KO thought probable. All reports indicate
that the pack will fall considerably under
that of last year. The crop went Into the
around late and in many parts of the coun
try failed to germinate because of the cold,
wet weather. The high price of seel was
the cause of the reduced acreage In some
r of the principal growing states. Over large
are of country farmers have ' reduced the
plantings of sweet corn and paid more at
tention to field corn, being Influenced in this
course by the high corn prices that have
prevailed in all markets this season. Taken
all together It looks as If future corn is a
good buy.
Of the tomato situation one of the leading
Maryland firms writes:
Future tomatoes continue quiet, with but
little business going. Most packers, who
figure closely, show little disposition to ac
cept business at prevailing quotations, and
arincs weather conditions have been unfavor
able for the last two weeks, they seem con
tent In waiting; results and what the future
may bring forth. Continued heavy rains have
compelled the farmers to remain under cover
and several days' sunshine will be requisite
before fields can be plowed and prepared for
the reception of the tomato plant, which,
though mighty as a giant at times, Is as
tender as a young lamb during the period
of propagation and necessarily requires care
ful treatment and suitable preparation of
growing ground, otherwise the yield will not
Justify the arduous labor. demanded for Its
successful cultivation. Pew reliable packers
are willing to countenance future orders un
der 77a to 80 cents, dftoemling upon brand
and quality, and mort alert buyers continue
to shun offerings under this figure, fearing
tiiat the delivery will not be accordingly as
mtisfartnry, at least If the market has ad
vanced by this time, for there Is little In
ducement to the buyer to purchase futures :
unless he feels there Is a possibility of an
advance at delivery time. i

But JXnnand Is Good and Firm Prices An
Maintained.
Receipts of Oregon strawberries yesterday
were the largest of the season. The demand
was etrong, however, and the market was
firm. Hood Rivers brought $4 per crate and
others sold from this price down to $3.60.
Only a few crates of California berries were
received. The season for early berries In
California Is over and the second crop will
not be ready for a week or 10 days. By that
time Orgons will b so plentiful the Southern
article will not be needed here. Cherries
were In good supply and steady at the former
price. Apricots are coming forward In bet
ter condition and the demand is Improving.
The oar of Mississippi tomatoes did not ar
rive as expected, but will probably be on
band for the trade -this morning. Another
shipment of Hawaiian sweet potatoes was
received yesterday. They are of the red
variety and brought 12 cents per pound,
Rhubarb, peas and most small vegetables
in good supply.

The demand for poultry showed some Im

number of visitors In the city, business is
expeoted to be quite active this week. Chick
ens of all kinds were quoted firmer and there
nvas a good Inquiry for turkeys and geese.
While receipts of Oregon eggs are limited,
the market is sluggish and, inclined to be
weak. Most of the sales yetserday were
reported at 194 cents. Eastern eg-ga are
being offered at prices less than Oregon ranoh

Prevailing Market.
NO LOTS ARE WITHDRAWN
Kight Hundred Thousand Pounds
Are Sold, Prices Ranging From 9
to 14 Cents Red action or 35
Per Cent From 180 7 Values.
SHANIKO, Or.. June 2 (Special.)
The first of the season's sealed-bid
wool sales came off today according
to schedule. Twenty-five lots, aggre
gating 800,000 pounds, were offered and
sold at prices ranging from 9 to 14
cents, the bulk of the clips selling from
12 to 13 cents. Compared with last
year's prices, the difference on the
various lots runs from 6 to lu cents
lower per pound, or an average depre
ciation of 7H cents, which is equiva
lent to a 35 per cent reduction.
The fact that not a single lot offered
was withdrawn is conclusive evidence
that the growers have concluded to
accept the present market situation,
even though' the prices realized are
less than the cost of production.
Among the largest lots sold were:
ETwen McLennon, 153,000 pounds; Far
guher McKae, 53,000 pounds; "D. Chis
holm, 30,000 pounds; D. T. McRae. 27.
000 pounds; T. Connelly, 47,000 pounds;
M. Maxwell, 27,000 pounds: Potgen
Bros., 32.000 pounds; F. Brogan, 75,000
pounds; Malone estate, 26,000 pounds;
A. W. Forghen, 30.000 pounds; M. J.
Finlayson, 51. GOO pounds; W. R. Mas
call, 58,000 pounds. The last lot brought
14 cents, the highest price for the day.
The buyers were: F. L. Orcutt, Bos
ton, 180,000 pounds; A. Livingstone, Bos
ton, 104.000; J. Dufour. Lafayette Wool
en Mills; Kuhn & Abbott, for Botany
Worsted Mills, Passaic, N. J., 89.000; E.
W. Brigham. for Farnsworth, Thayer &
Stevenson, Boston, Mass., 106.000; H. M.
Cummings, for Brown & Adams, Boston,
81.000; E. T. Judd, for Pendleton Scour
ing Mills, 35.000; H. W. Agner, for Dalles
Scouring Mills. 2000; Charles Green, for
J. Koshland & Co., Boston, 22,000.
The only two buyers in attendance who
made no purchases were William Ellery
and ,S. F. Frankenstein, of Boston. The
second sale for this station is set for
June 16. when It is estimated that some
thing over a million pounds will be of
fered. The third and last sales here
will be held on July 6, Instead of the
6th. as previously published.
The large clips grown by the Baldwin
Sheep & Land Company. Charles Hilton,
R. R. Hinton and the Prineville Compa
nies were not offered.
The wools of this section that have
been famous for their character and qual
ity are very disappointing this season to
both buyers and sellers. The open win
ter, followed by a long dry and unusually
cold and windy spring, are undoubtedly
responsible for this condition. The buy
ers will return to Pendleton tomorrow
in their private car and on Thursday
leave for the sales at Vale on Friday,
June 5, thence to Payette, Idaho, June
6, and Midvale, Idaho, June 8, and re
turn to Oregon for the sales at Pendle
ton, June 9.
ADVANCE BROUGHT TO STOP
UNION PACIFIC FRKELY OF
FERED WHEN TOUCHES TOP.
Flood of Selling Orders at 150
Check9 the Rise in All Parts
of the List.
NEW TORK, June 2. The bull movement
in stocks showed some evidence of over
strain today. IHirin the first hour the rate
of activity was greater than has been wit
nftMel at the New Torlt Stock Exchange In
a period, of con-Klderably over & year. Trans
action in Union Pacific were especially
heavy, 100O Bhares being the cuatomary unit
of the saie recorded on the tape in the ag
gressive advance to loO. Ae the per
cent dividend has been deducted from the
pcice jrince it sold at 151 H laat month, to
day's price really represent the highest
of the year.
At the round figure & flood of selling
orders was encountered, which obstacle
proved insurmountable to a further advance.
This really proved the decisive test of the
market, although Ert. Paul, Reading and
Southern Pacific had risen vigorously in
company with Union Pacific, but not to last
month's high prices.
The movement for the advance gave signs
of disintegration, after the turn in Union
Pacific. In adjvanclng Union Pacific, use
was mede of rumors that the financing of
the company, which has been in contempla
tion, had been quietly effected without for
mal publJo announcement. These rumors
remained without official con-flrmatlon, and
credence In them waned consequently. The
sharp rise in Missouri Pacific and In some
of the other Gould stocks was partly the
outgrowth of reiterated reports that the re
organization of some of the properties In
that group, now under way or said to be in
contemplation, would strengthen the coher
ency of the group and would Introduce Im
portant new backing into the enterprises.
A good effect was produced on speculative
sentiment by reports of resumption of mill
activity In New England and some large
merohaxKilee ordiers placed In concert by St.
Louis people. Textile trade reports de
scribed the good effects of the curtailment
of production in that trade, the conse
quent depletion of stock and the reduction
of prices following the lowering of wages.
The action in the Harrlman Pacifies came

HYDROPHOBIA FACTS.
Popular Fallacies That Have Grown
Up About the Disease.
Xew 'York Times.
Owing to the rarity of hydrophobia,
many myths have grown up around it.
Indeed, what psses for common knowl
edge of It is almost all false. The "mad"
dog does not froth, at the mouth, be does
not hate water, he is no more a product
of Summer heat than of Winter cold, and
he has no inclination to bite except in
blind resentment of any Interference with
the motionless condition which character
izes one phase of the malady or with the
Impulse to constant and purposeless flight
which marks the alternative manifesta
tion. .

popularly supposed to act can confidently
be held to be suffering from some other
and more common disease. The symptom
that should most quickly excite suspicion
Is a notable and otherwise unexplained
change in the animal's disposition, a
calm dog becomhi? excitable or a lively
one dull. In neither case is rabies proved,
but in both the dog- should be carefully
confined and watched, and expert advice
should be secured.
There Is much misapprehension, too, as
to the cause of hydrophobia in dogs.
There Is but one Infection of the blood
through a wound Inflicted by a dog suf
fering from the disease. Whether a dog
is fed well or ill, too much or too little,
has nothing to do with the matter di
rectly; neither has abuse nor lack of a
home.
The stray starveling is more dangerous
than the valued canine friend only be
cause he is more in the way of Infection
and because the early stages of his Ill
ness receive no attention. This, however,
is quite reason enough to warrant the
destruction of all ownerless and uncon
