Newspaper Page TextTHE MORNING OREGQNIAN. THURSDAY. JUNE 11, 1908. 15 L Deadlock Everywhere in West Except Oregon. GROWERS HERE WILL SELL In Other Sections, Clips Are Being Sent Out on Consignment Dealers Buying on Very Close Margin In Eastern Oregon. The only active wool market at the present time Is in Oregon. In other parts of the Wert buyers and sellers are so far apart In thPir views as to make business Impossible. Most of the clip movement in Wyoming',- Utah and other sections m on consignment at ad vances of 8 to 10 cents. In California and Texas, also, consignments are the order of the day. Tcxstt growers are talking the scoured basts of R5 to 60 cents for 12 months wools, but dealers assert they will have to buy them at aprlce that will enable them to sell them at around 50 cents. Fine staple Oregon wool is quoted In the Ens nominally at B3 to 55 cents scoured, so that buyers of the new wool are doing busi ness on a close margin. It Is aeserted, how ever, that the dealers are ready to pay a fair price for combing wools, because they are. al most certain that they will be wanted. It li a different proposition, however, jn regard to clothing wools, of which there are large stocks yet in the "East, and the buyers are fighting shy of these. New wools are arriving on the Eastern mar kets and the latest mail advices note the transfer of a fair quantity. Including 100,000 pounds Nevada on the scoured basis of 02 to 55c, and small lots of Arizona at 15 to 18c. The beet Arizona sold at 16 to 18c and clothing wools at 15c. The scoured basis of the .latter is 43 to 45c and of the former about 50c. New medium Utah sold in a ema'l way at 18c, to cost 45c clean. While the Boston market is qulot, the Com mercial Bullettn' declares that on the whole the situation is brigher, "with the outlook for demand better and a steadier basis of value possible, with gradual growth of firmness If demand continues to improve, and foreign markets maintain the Improvement developed at London. There ie not much enthusiasm, however, about a quick return to complete recovery. The patient Is still a sick man and requires most careful nursing. HOT WAVE AFFECTS STRAWBERRIES Average Quality of .the Arrivals Is Not Good. Lemons Are Higher. Not only were strawberry receipts yesterday very heavy, but the. quality of a large part of the arrivals was not first-class. This re sulted In a much weaker market, In spite of a etrong demand. The sudden hot spell was responsible for the poor condition of many of the offerings, which were sun scalded. A lower temperature for a few days will greatly Improve the berries that are yet to come In. The general range of prices yes terday was $1.502.25 per crate. Some very poor lots sold lower. The market was prac tically cleaned up at the end of the day. There was another advance of 25 cents In fancy lemons, bringing the quotation up to S4.75 per box. Canteloupe receipts were light, being Sunday's shipments out of Imperial ' Yalley, and prices were unchanged, specials selling at $1.75, ponies at $4 and standards at $4.25. Cherries and apricots were active and steady. Blackberries were slow sale. Three delayed cars of bananas were expected last night In uncertain condition. A car of or anges was received In the forenoon. Red California onions declined to $1.50 per rack. Small vegetables were in fair supply, except beans and peas. Shipments of Califor nia peas have closed and not enough lecal stock is coming in to supply the demand. Among the arrivals from the South wera a car each of new potatoes and onions. CONDITION OF ENGLISH .HOP CROP. Plant, Though Late in Making m Start, Is Strong and Healthy. The Kentish Observer of May 28 says of the hop crop and market conditions In Eng land: The hop plant, although late In making a start owing to the cold and backwai d Bprlng. has during the fast week made considerable growth. The shoots appear strong and healthy, and tying operations are In full swing. There is a good deal of neglect apparent in many grounds, growers having no heart to do much in view of the depressed state of the Industry. There has been an enormous amount of grubbing since last season, and hop gardens that one has known all his life and that others have never known to be anything but hop land have disappeared, this being especially the case in Kent and Sussex. The demand from brewers is not very active, but a fair business continues to be reported by factors, whose quotations are well maintained. There is some inquiry for good golding grades, but the supply of thespi is very scanty. Stocks are gradually diminishing, and tliere Is no pressure to sell. English trade reports, dated May 25 to 27, follow: Wild, Ncame & Co, London There has been a better ln.quiry during the past week, and the reluctance of the few remaining holders to accept current values has im parted a firmer tcne to the market. Manger & Henley, Lomlou The demand has been more active during tho past week, and a fair quantity of hops has passed into consumers' hands. Values remain steady and unaltered. - W. H. and H. Le May, Loi.don, S. E. The inquiry noted In our last continues, and several 'parcels have changed hands at current rates during the past week. Exchange and Hop Warehouses, London There is a better demand this week for all qualities of English hops, and several lots have changed hands. A decided lack of choice hops is noticed upon the market, whilst offers generally are In a narrow compass. Sales show no improvement in prices, but the market la firmer. J. H. Meredith & Co.. Worcester There has been a slight improvement in the de mand for Worcesters, and a few orders have bfn executed out of merchants stocks, but only 14 pockets of growers' hops passed the scales last week. Values show no al teration. The recent warm, rainy weather caused the bins to grow fast, keeping the tyers busy, but It Is now much cooler. POULTRY IS HARD TO MOVE. Prices Have to Be Cut to Work Off Supplies. The poultry market took a turn for the worse yesterday. Arrivals of. all descriptions wpre fairly large and buying was inactive. Some dealers found it necessary to cut prices sharply In order to clean, up. Old chickens were sold at 11!&12 cents, and springs at a cut price of 17 cents. There were no new developments in the egg situation. The weakness was pronounced all along the line, as receipts generally exceeded sales. A few sales were reported at 19 cents, while other dealers offered eggs at 18 cents The butter market was steady to firm at the quotations that have prevailed for the past three weeks. -y Bank Clearings.

IN TERSTATE C03IMISSIOX. Railroads as Defense Assert That Complainants Are in Conspiracy to Monopolize Trade. CHICAGO, June 10. The butter inter ests of the entire country are said to be at stake in a case which came before the Interstate Commerce Co.mmisslon torlay. The complainants are the large companies engaged in the manufacture of butter through what are termed con centrating; plants, and they are com plaining that if the railroads increase cream their business will be ruined. On the other side of the case are the railroads, who insist that they are not trying to drive anyone) out of business, but that their rates as now adjusted are discriminative; the small creamery owner, who claims that the new method of doing business is destroying him, and the dairy commissions of several states, who are raising a cry for the preserva tion of the small creameries; and last, but not least, the Government, which insists that the new method of manu facturing butter is not the best from the viewpoint of public health and san itation. In the "fireworks" of the case the complainants are charging the railroads with maintaining an unlawful conspir acy to increase rates and put them out of business. The railroads, on the other hand, are insisting that the complain ants are a trust, using Standard Oil methods to crush competition and se cure a monopoly on the business of manufacturing 600,000,000' pounds of butter annually. STOCKS II -H IT Trading Almost Ceases on the New York Exchange. BUT PRICES ARE FIRM Missouri Pacific Advances on Assur ances There Will Be No Re ceivership in the Gould Group. NEW YORK, June 10. The stock mar ket remained in a rut today, the total shares sold continuing about the low record for over a year past. Even with the shrunken total, the proportion of activity in three or four of the speculative favorites was maintained to the detriment df the usual run of stocks. This favoritism came from the small room traders, there being no other appreciable participation in the mar ket. Offerings for sale were even scarcer than the scanty demand, and prices. In consequence, were firmly held. Missouri Pacific advanced smartly on- the parting assurances of the president of the company that the list of receiverships in the group of properties dominated by his family had been completed. An advance In the price of copper In London and at the local metal exchange was the basis for the rise in a group of stocks concerned in that industry, which gave some sympathetic strength to the gen eral list. Opinion over the effect on the steal mar ket of the price cut remained much con fused. United States Steel sold minus the quarterly dividend of half of 1 per cent and recovered that amount before midday. The advertisement of Union Pacific bond subscriptions centered attention on that subject and prompted a waiting attitude, pending knowledge of the outcome of the sale. The reduced dividend rate on Western Union stock had been adequately foreseen, the fact of payment being made in cash Instead of in stock, as for the two previous dividends being accepted apparently as compensation iu part for the reduction In the rate. Bonds were steady. Total sales, par value, $2,744,000. United States bonds were un changed on call. CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS. Closing Sales. High. Low. Bid. Ama!
