SMALLSALMON
No Improvement in the Pack
ing Situation to Date.
VIEWS OF EASTERN TRADE
Opening Prices Received With Gen
eral Satisfaction Condition of
Crops' in Hi Palouse Three
Cars or Cantaloupes In.
There Is no Improvement worth mention
ing: in the run of salmon in the Columbia.
The net results to date are unsatisfactory,
even when compared with previous poor
seasons, but the packers, nevertheless, are
till hopeful. They are golnjr ahead In the
expectation that the run will soon Improve.
No very clear reasons' are (riven on which
to base their hope, except that in years eone
by, when the early run was poor the later
fish would come in more abundantly. There
are two months of the season yet ahead of
the packers and should conditions Improve,
the lost time may be made up.
The opening prices on the 190R pack, re
cently named by the canncrs at a confer
ence at Astoria, meet with the approval of
'the Eastern trade. A large business has
already been done, which it Is stated, will
more than cover the expected pack. Eastern
views on the situation, are expressed by the
leading- trade papers. The New York Jour
nal of Commerce says:
J. ne announcement of openlne prices on
the Sprinr pack of Columbia River
chinook salmon was received with satisfac
tion by the trade. They had been led to
fear that the packer might find it neces
sary to raise the prices above last year's
jovei. but the fear proved to be unfounded.
At the conference of the Backers in Astoria
the situation was thoroughly considered,
and notwithstanding the prospect of a short
pack; it was decided to make no change
from last seasons quotations. It is undea
fitood that all of the packers are quoting on
the established basts on both fancy and
standard grades. Already buyers are re
ported to he freely confirming orders that
were placed some time ago subject to ap
proval of prices when named. In some cases
buyers desire to increase quantities above
those contracted for If the nrlces nroved to
bo satisfactory, but in view of the uncer
tainty as to the size of the pack brokers
are reluctantly compelled to decline such
orders for the present.
The New York Commercial raid:
Salmon was the center of interest vester-
day, with the attention of the Jobber di
rected to 1lM8 pack, chinook fish, as the
result of the announcement of the opening
prices by the various Columbia Tlrfver sal
mon packers. The prices announced were
put out to the trade and In most quarters
Hinong the jobbers the basts fixed was re-
pardprt favorably, in making the prices It
Is said packers' representtalves urged upon
the packers the necessity of taking into
account the c-onditlons governing the trade
Maay. it is neia mat the situation, so far
as pack goes, warrants a higher basis than
the one Hxerl, but the argument relative to
the selling situation (In Jobbing quarters)
was not witnoui force at the conference of
packers In Astoria. Vn to the close vester-
day some business had been confirmed by
local Jobbers. Half-pound flats In fancv
. trades were not so xtpII rr1vrl hv th
' trade at the quotation since there is still
in the hands of the Jobber a fair stock un
sold from last year. Tails and flats were
regarded with more favor. It is, however,
considered early to estimate the volume of
business that will be booked.
CROP PKOSPECTSIX TlffE PALOUSE
Conditions Are Good, Exeept in the West
ern Part, Where Kain Is Needed.
D. A. Pattullo. manager of the Interior
country, where, in company with other offi
cials of Balfour, Guthrie & Co., a careful
Investigation of crop ebn<lpns was made.
The party ''traveled 'over 2 miles in auto
mobiles. Mr. pattullo said:
'On the whole, I would say there will be
an average crop If we 'have average weather
from now on. "We only- traveled through
the best part of the . Palouse country, how
ever, going as far west as Endicott and St.
John. There we found the prospects fully
as good as last year. Reports from farther
west. Franklin, Adams and the western part
of Whitman County, were not so encourag
ing. The crop there is badly In need of
rain and has suffered considerable damage
already from the dry weather."
THREE CARS OF CANT A LOUPES.
Market Xs Overstocked , and More Are
Coming.
Three full cars of California cantaloupes
were put on Front street yesterday. The
supply was far in excess of local require
ments and the cooler weather Interfered
with their sale. Quoted prices were $2.75
B.zo per crate, inree more cars of canta
loupes are due this week. A car of apricots
and a car of peaches and plums arrived in
the afternoon and will be hauled this
morning.
The change In the weather was bad for
the strawberry trade. At the morning mar
ket the best offerings brought $1.25 per
crate and ordinary lots sold at 75SO cents.
The slump was even worse on Front street.
wnere sales were made as low as SO cents
In the afternoon. The. best berries sold on
the street at $1.25.
PEA PACK WIIX BE UGHT ONE.
Wisconsin Crop Blighted by Excessive
Rains.
Advices received by brokers yesterday
from Wisconsin say that excessive rains
have blighted the pea crop. One of the
prominent Wisconsin packers writes that
because of the wet weather there will not
be over one-third of an average crop of
peas.
Eastern reports say that corn has eone
Into the ground from four to six weeks
later than usual and packers find It im
possible tb say what the outcome will be.
Poultry and Eggs Are Slow.
The trade in country produce continues
to drag. Chickens are quoted at H and 11
cents, with an occasional pale of a -fancy
coop at 32 cents. Kggs move off slowly at
173 to invz cents.
The butter situation Is without change.
and cheese moves steadily at previous
prices.

Dealings in the Hands of Profession

National Convention Re- -ports
011 Market.
NEW YORK June 16 Whllj some slight
expansion of volume occurred In the stock
market today, the dealings were still al
most wholly In the hands of the profes
sional traders. This class was basins; the
enlarged operations on political views and
on their opinions of developments at the
Republican National convention, according
to their own avowals. They attached most
importance, apparently, to the so-called
antl-Injunctlon plank of the platform, and
they bought and bid up stocks on the re
ceipt of Information alleged to come from
the best informed quarters and stated in
positive terms that the proposltlcn to in
sert a plank, restricting the issuance of in
junctions by certain regulations would not
be carried into effect.
These motives for buying stocks were
not effective outside of a narrow profes
sional circle, the political activity having
no other apparent effect on the genera!
financial world than to. prompt caution and
hesitation. Other matters seemed to be
ignored. Money continued to work easier
and rates for some periods of time loans
were quotably lower.
The day"s advances were held in spire
of a marked subsidence in the lare buying.
Bonds were irregular. Total sales, par
