IS
Wool Firm in West but Does
Not Rise in East.
MOVEMENT IS BROADER
Past t.ains Are Well Maintained and
Recessions in Values Are Not
Looked for Steady Trade
in Fruit Market.
White t i.e feel In ir !n the wool market in
the West Is reasonably firm, there Is not
much Improvement fn the Kant, judging
from the latest mail advices received. Buy
era In this section, however, continue to
pay full price for the best clips, as Is shown
by the sate at Sclo and the recent sales
in Kastern Oreson. The Scio "pool . for
, which 15 3-5 cents -was pajd is considered
as the best single lot In the Valley, and
practically all of It grades as No. 2.
New wools from the West -are reaching
the Kastern markets in increasing quan
tity, where the offerings attract consider
able attention, though there is no rush to
acquire them by manufacturers. The Ari
tona wools have sold well and are now
pretty well cleaned up. Latest transactions
are email lots at 16 to 17c. or about 50c
clean, and 25.000 pounds clothing at 10 to
16 He, the scoured cost being 4'i to 43c. A
fair amount of new half-blood Utah sold at
Boston at 18c to cost 47 to 4 He clean, and a
small lot of Nevada lambs changed hands
on the scoured basis of 55c.
There Is a fair movement In old wools In
the Boston market, but no large lines have
been transferred. Most sales are 2.",0O0
pounds to 50.000 pounds each or smaller.
Clothing wools are still talked of as quiet
and the demand for them shows no ma
terial improvement. Among the transac
tions of the week are Included 200,000
pounds half-blood and fine at 14 to 19c.
liiO.ofto pounds fine and fine medium at
to 15c. to cost 4'1 to 47c clean, and 75.000
pounds fine and fine medium Wyoming and
Idaho on the scoured basis of 45 to 4 Sc.
The best class of clothing wool will bring
R to 50c, it Is said, and staple 52 to 55c.
There is a. call for quarter-blood and not
much to be had. A. small lot sold at 18c,
Including quarter and low threerelghths.
Most holders of strictly clothing Btock
say that it is hard to get more than the
basis of 45c. Yet it is asserted that at
prit-es prevailing in the West there would
be - no profit in selling the wools on that
basis.
Reviewing the situation, the Boston Com
mercial Bulletin says In its latest issue:
Locally the change which started a few
weeks ago, when slight hetterment was
apparent In the general situation, has not
resulted In activity in sales, or any better
prices except in a few exceptional instances.
The improvement is slow, and it will evi
dently he some time yet before the re
covery from depression is complete. Still
there is more or less certainty about the
corner having been turned. There is no
relapse apparent, what gains have been
nmde are maintained. Thus quarter-blood
sells at higher prices than in May, and the
position of stable domestic wools of all
kinds is strong. Holders of fine Australian,
which Ik scarce, are disposed not to accept
the sacrifices which would be necessary
were their property forced on buyers at
present, but to wait till improvement is
broader. The prices that can be obtained
for territory and other strictly clothing
wools are still unsa tisfactory and entail
losses to owners. Holders say they find It
impossible to educate buyers Into paying
any advance. The best that can be said
about these descriptions Is that the ten
dency is more in sellers' favor. But hold
ers would like to find a customer for some
round lots, of which there are many yet to
be marketed.
MOVEMENT .OF CALIFORNIA FRUIT
Shipments of Cher'rlee and Apricots Are De
creasing New Tear Moving.
The movement of California deciduous
fruits in the past week is reported by the
California Fruit Dispatchers as follows:
Cherries, 24 cars We are coming rapidly
to the end of cherry shipping season. There
ilr be a further marked decline in the
output for the next seven days.
Apricots, 4tJ cars There will also be a
marked decline in the output of apricots
for the next seven days. The heavy ship
ping season Is over and there will only be
lighter shipments, and particularly In part
carload lots, from now on.
Plums and Prunes, 135 cars As fore
casted last week, the bulk of the shipments
have been of the better varieties with
Tragedys predominating. The shipment will
remain steady with likety a light Increase
for the next week. .Those going forward
at present should prove satisfactory In all
respects to the trade.
Peaches, 57 cars The bulk of shipments
has consisted of Hale's Early, Triumph and
a few Pt. Johns and the Hale's Early and
Triumphs will decline in volume, going for
ward as the St. Johns increase. Shipment
for the next week will remain steady.
Pears Two carloads have gone out dur
ing the last week and they have practically
all been of the earlier varieties. Bartletts
are growing nicely and there will be a good
crop of fine, clean pears. They are not
early this year and it will be well along in
July before many are shipped.
T A I,K O F TOWE R FLOUR TRICKS
Pi i get Sound Millers Contemplate a Cut in
Quotations.
There were rumors In the trade yesterday
of a prospective advance in flour prices, as
a sort of sympathetic response to the sen
sational advances reported In the East. The
rumors, however, could not be confirmed- It
was learned, however, that millers on the
Sound contemplate lowering their flour
prices In the near future, and this action
.will rather tend to weaken the local mar
ket. Flour and wheat prices on this Coast
are now entirely Independent of the East
ern situation.
Tho grain markets were all quiet yester
day. Wheat was quoted weak and lower
and bats and barley were barely steady.
CAR OF WATERMELON'S IN TRANSIT
With Tmde as at Present, It Is Not Wanted
Here.
A car of California watermelons is 'in
transit to Portland, but unless the weather
should turn hot It will probably be diverted.
There is no demand whatever now for
watermelons in this market. A few crates
were received several days ago and they
are not all sold yet.
Two cars of cantaloupes arrived and
moved only. fairly well. Other fruits were
In fair supply except apricots, which were
quoted firmer at 51.10'g l.25 per crate. Not
much Interest was shown in strawberries on
the street.
Slight Improvement in Poultry.
A fairly steady tone prevails in the
poultry market. Fancy hens are again
quoted at 12 cents and other lines show a
corresponding improvement.
The egg trade is still a dragging affair
with receipts light and the demand back
ward. No changes were reported in the butter
situation and cheese was as last quoted
Bank Clearings.
Clearings of the Northwestern cities yes
terday were as follows:

PRICE CHANGES NARROW
Pressure Against Kock Island Is
Discontinued and Tills Kelieves
3rarket Rates for Time
Loans Advance.
NEW TORK. Jun, 28. The derision to
pay tribute to the memory of ex-President
Cleveland by ending the stock exchange
seanlon at 1 o'clock today served to further
rurtall the already ahrunken proportions of
the dealings In stocks. The session was
Insignificant In every way. Fluctuations in
prices were narrow.
The day's Incidents were little calculated
to stir the market from Its apathy. The re
dundant condition of the money market
gives promise of being increased hy the
week's continued inflow of cash to New
York, and borrowing conditions are so easy
as to offer no urgency to holders of se
curities to realize on them. At the same
time, demand for securities is well- nigh
stagnant. The market. In consequence, is
almost dead.
There was some quiet buying today,
which was attributed to the further influ
ence of the cheerful views expressed by J.
P. Morgan yesterday before returning to
Europe. The discontinuation of the prea
ure against tho Rock Island Is relieving
the market, from a depressing' factor and
contributed to the firmer tone. The only
semblance of activity occurred just at the
close when prices enjoyed an uplift that
placed half a dozen of the leaders a point
or more over last night's level.
While no effect was produced on the
stock market by the fact, rates for time
loans were quotably higher today and a re
newed advance in foreign exchange rates
suggested a possible recurrence of the out
ward flow of gold. Discount rates at Ber
lin, however, were lower today, that be
ing the principal . source of expected de
mand on the United States for gold. The
inference Is that Berlin's preparation for
the semi-annual settlements Is completed.
The New York trust companies are with
drawing the amount of cash necessary to
.establish the 30 per cent reserve level made
obligatory upon them by law on July 1.
This will call for an amount estimated at
20.000,000 and this may account for the
rather firmer tone of the money market.
After July 1, the show of firmness In the
money market Is expected to relax again.
Bonds were Irregular. Total sales, par
value, $1. 194.000. United States bonds were
unchanged on call.

CLEARANCE SALES STIMULATE
BUSINESS AT SOME POINTS.
Railroads Making Preparations for
Crop-Moving Number of Idle
Frelghtcars Is Reduced.
NEW YORK, June 26.Bradstreet'8 to
morrow will say:
Trade this week has taken most of the
characteristics of a mid-Summer period.
Retail business has been helped by warm
weather in most sections, and by wide
spread reduction sales. Jobbing houses
have received moderate filllng-in orderR and
made the usual clearance sales. Fall buying
has been and is cautious, but feeling is
conservatively optimistic. Such lines as
leather, staple worsted wools, agricultural
Implements and a few lines of steel prod
ucts, are more active, but the great Indus
tries, as a whole, are below normal activity
and Summer shutdowns promise to be more
widely Indulged in than for some years
past. The - railroa'ds of the country are
making preparations for crop-moving and
car repair material is being taken more
freely. Labor is still plentiful and cheap.
Collections are no better than fair at
any center, and slow as a rule.
Business failures In the United States for
the week ending June 25 number 258,
which compares with 234 last week.
Wheat. Including flour, exports from the
United States and Canada for the week
ending June 25, aggregate 3,129. OGO bushels
against 3.419,944 last week.
CONFIDENCE IX THE Fl'TUHE.
Strengthened by the Splendid ProsreM of
the Crops.
NEW YORK, June 26. Dun's Review of
Trade tomorrow will say:
Mid-Summer quiet Is augmented this year
by the general contraction that has oc
curred in all departments of trade and in
dustry, but splendid progress of the crops
strengthens confidence in the future and
preparations for a large volume of Fall
business are gradually Increasing the per
centage of active machinery.
Idle freight cars have been reduced to
less than 350.000 and railroad shops are
resuming repair work
Numerous small orders make up a fair
tonnage of new business in the iron and
steel trade, but buying Is conservative, as
Is customary in this season in most, de
partments. Arrivals of foreign dry hides are small
and are readily absorbed at the recent ad
vance in prices.
Bank Clearings.
NEW YORK. June 26. Bradstreet's bank;
clearings report for the week ending June
25 shows an aggregate of $2.0G3,4 12,000, as
against 2. 104.02'J.OOO last week anl
$2,407,344,000 in the corresponding week
last year.

SUPPORT 15 GIVEN
Serious Decline in Wheat
Prices Prevented.
UNDERTONE IS VERY WEAK
Ideal Harvesting AVeatlier and Pros
pect of Large Movement of
New Crop Soon Are De
pressing Factors.
CHICAGO. June 2- The wheat ' market
was weak all day and the volume of trade
was email. The ideal weather for harvest
ing was again the dominating Influence.
Likelihood that the movement of the new
crop, which has already begun in the
Southwest, will probably attain large pro
portions wtthln the next two or three weeks
helped to depress pricen. The report of a
St. LjOuIs trade journal also caused some
selling late In the session. This report sa'.d
thai "while low yields are numerous, good
yields are plentiful and some sources re
port yields beyond expectations, with an
outlook for a Winter wheat crop consid
erably larger than last year." Support from
bullish leaders prevented a serious decline.
The market closed weak. July opened
c lower to a shade higher at WSfcc,
declined to Sic and closed at &4S5c.
The corn market was weak the entire
session. The market closed weak at almost
the lowest o!nt. July opened M&'i.c lower
at G74 fe-GSc. held within that range and
closed at C7c.
Oats were weak the greater, part of the
day. Julyppened unchanged 45 c, sold
off to 44(jic and closed at 444, c.
Provisions were weak at the start be
cause of a Kte decline in live hogs, but
toward the end of the session a firmer tone
developed on covering by shorts. At the
close -September pork was unchanged; lard
was up lic and ribs were also up 2Mc.
