THE MORXIXG OREGONIAX, THURSDAY, JTXT 2, I90S. 17 r V SALES OF FUTURES Grain Department of Board of Trade Formally Opens. ATTENDANCE IS VERY GOOD Local Food 31arket Weak and Likely tr Break Active Demand for Fruits Country Pro duce Lines Firm. Grain futures wre rtalt in fr the first time at th Portland Board of Trade yestPr day. Business was not on an extensive rale, and It was not expected there would be much activity, but a pood start was made nevertheless. The attendance -was pood, about 25 members being present, and much Interest was shown In the proceed ings Th session was called promptlyat 11:30 A- M. and lasted until noon. Secretary Fred Jifullr officiated as caller. The bidding was more or lesa spirited at times, though there was only one sale recorded, 500 bushels of December wheat changing hands at SO rents. There was a subsequent bid of 81 cents for December and later an ad vance to 82 cents, with 85 cents asked. For September wheat, 8 'Hi cents was of fered. December oats wre offered at 1.324 per cental, with $1.25 bid. while bids on the Soptembcr delivery ranged from I.10 to f 1.17 1 with $1.25 asked. The opening bid on December barley was $1 per cental and the price was soon ad vanced to SI. 14). with $1.20 asked. Sep tember barley was offered at $1.15. Although only on of the export firms was represented at the first session, the Interest displayed by the other members of the trade was such as to Indicate the success of the effort t establish a grain exchange In this city. The present un certainty as to the crop situation may pre vent an active market until something more definite Is known aa to the probable outcome. Local receipts of grain In the past 24 hours, as reported by the board, were 4 cars of wheat and 643 sacks of oats. . The range of futures was as follows: WHEAT. Open. High. Low. Close.

Sept 115 1.15 Dec 1 20 1.20 100 1.10 MARKET FOR MILL FEED IS WEAK Flump at San Francisco Cuts Off Shipments From Portland. The market for mill feed la tottering and a break In prices Is likely to occur soon. One of the principal weakening factors Is the subsidence in the California demand. Vp to two weeks ago the San Francisco market was a regular buyer of Oregon bran, but now buyers of that city will only take on additional supplies at prices at least $2 under those quoted at that time. The slump In the San Francisco market Is the result of heavy shipments from I'uget Sound and the Orient. Three cargoes of bran are reported In transit from Hong kong to San Francisco and due this month. Mills on the Sound are also shipping heavily In order to reduce their surplus. Added to this, as a depressing factor, are the free arrivals of new alfalfa at San Fran cisco. These have alt served to weaken the local market. With the current demand slack, some of the large Pcrlland holders are said to have made sales at San Fran cisco under the quotations currant here. It Is also reported that several lots of feed have been offered locally at conces sions. HOP CROP CONDITIONS IN NEW YORK Indications Are Favorable for ft Very Good Yield. There were no new developments In the local hop market "yesterday and no report of sales or contracts came from the coun try. Hop crop' conditions in New York are reported by state papers as follows: Watcrville The present warm weather with occasional rains is continuing the forcing prnress In the hopyards. It looks now as though we wci-ld have an early harvest of an exceptionally fine crop. The vine Is unusually thrifty, free from vermin and well armed out. Malone Reports from growers In this vicinity are that hops were never looking finer than now. The yards wintered well and the vines are very forward, some of them being well up to the tops of the poles. The same report comes from Central I'ew York, where the" vines present a clean and healthy appearance. From the- present outlook the yield In this state should ex ceed lat year's crop. f'herry Valley Crop prospects up to the present promise excellent. Hop vines are already at the top of the poies and look strontc and healthy. Peansboro Hopyards are looking fine. Growers are more hopeful than early in the, season, as there a i-pears a prospect of fair prices being paid next Fall. I'ooperstown Reports from the hop fields continue favorable. Official returns show Imports into Eng land of the equivalent of 133.000 bales dur ing the period from August 31, 1!07, to May 31. 190S. as against about 113. 0O0 bales during the corresponding jerlod of the preceding crop year. The Brewers' Journal, referring to the English crop, says In effect that there Is every prospect of a big crop similar to those of lS'.iO and 1901, given ordinary favorable conditions. IMPROVED DKMAND FOR FRUITS Warm Weather Stimulate Trade In AU Lines, The sultry weather yesterday stimulated the demand for fruits of all' kinds. Sup plies were fair, and in most lines steady prices were quoted. A car of cantaloupes was the only carlot arrival. The best cantaloupes were quoted up to $1.75 per crate, Lut sales were made as low as $1 It Is understood that the quantity In tran sit Is not as heavy as It was, and this should give the market a chance to clean up. Receipts of cherries were unusually large and the market was decidedly weak. The best Royal Anns and Blns were quoted at Sc and cheaper varieties as low as 21?" 3c per pound. Butter, Cheese and Country Produce Firm. The butter market continues firm, with nn aiti e movement on shipping account and a fair local trade. The surplus of the city make Is blng stored No change In prices expected in the near future. The cheese market advanced half a cent on all grades yesterday. With egg receipts light and the demand somewhat better, the market shows an Improved tone. I'oultry is also firmer, with a good demand for all varieties. Bank Clearing.

BUYING ALMOST " CEASES Pendency or Political Canvass Re sponsible Tor Lack of Specula tive Interest Semi-Annual . Disbursements. NEW YORK. June 1. The new fiscal year opened In the financial district In a condition of profouud aoathy. so far as was reflected In the securities market. Banks and trust companies bad some occupation In the paying; of Interest on bonds, and there were other seasonable money obligations to be met. Including payment of a 1 1.025.000 installment of subscriptions for new North ern (Pacific stock. Trust companies are compelled, under the law. to fix their re serves today at 10 per cent of deposits and the condition of reserves of those compa nies shown by their last report would Indi cate that they must have withdrawn from the banks In the neighborhood of $25,000. 000 to meet this requirement. The financial community Is in hourly expectation of a call from the Treasury Department for re turn of perhaps 50,000,000 of Government deposits. The July dividend and Interest disburse ments in New York are estimated in the neighborhood of $180,000,000. yet so heavy is the surfeit of funds In the money market and so feeble the demand for facilities for borrowers that these extraordinary require ments have done nothing more than stiffen the call money rate temporarily no 2 per cent compared with 1 4 to 14 per c:nt before prevailing. The fiscal year opens with large, supplies of funds pressing for employment in the time money market, where loans carry over the year end today fell to a 3 per cent rate. Notwithstanding these plethoric con ditions of money the bond and stock mar kets lay in a lethargic condition and wholly IndlfTerent to any developments in the news. Money rates . are now lower than at any period since the Summer of 11H4. and the record must go back four years further for any parallel for the low level of activity in stocks today. The aggregate sales for the day amounted to only l.-,:;.80f share On August 22. 1000. there were sold S.6.O00 shares. It is. of course, significant that these comparisons carry back to years of previous National political campaigns. The pendency of the political ranfacs must, in all probability, be given the principal re sponsibility for the present Immobility . of the markets. Railroad reports of net 'earnings for May reflected the drastic effects to overcome the losses In gross earnings by cutting ex penses. Bonds were irregular. United States Steel sinking 5s were strong. Total sales par value, $2,340,000. United States 2s registered advanced Vt per cent on call. CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS. t Sales.
