GRAIN DEPARTMENT MEETS
Jitt Straight Car of Watermelons of
tlie Season Sharp Advance
in the Local Egg
Market.
A special meeting of the grain depart
ment of the Board of Trade was held yes
terday to pass upon applications for mem
bership and the following firms were elected
members of the Board:
Washbourne Sons, Springfield, Or.; Boyer
Harness A Grain Company, Colfax; Jones
Scott Company, Walla Walla; Ford Grain
Company, Spokane; Barnard & Bunker, San
Francisco; Overbeck, Cooke & Co., Port
land ; Preston-Parton Milling Company,
Waitsburg; Sallberg Lumber & Grain Com
pany, Krupp, Wash.; Abshier ft Niva,, Center
ville Warehouse, Centervllle, Wash.; Spo
kane Flouring Mills, Spokane; Tacoma
(raln Company, Tacoma; Aumsville Flour
ing Mills, Aumsville, Or.; Moore-Ferguson
Company, San Francisco.
Among the visitors on the floor was D. E.
Lakln, a grain man of Peck, Idaho. Mr.
Lakln came out on the first train of the
new Lewlston-Riparia line and he Is en
thusiastic over the prospects opened up by
the new road. It will be the means, he
said, of bringing the grain crops of that
section to Portland. Heretofore they have
gone to the Sound. The people of the Lew
laton country are most friendly to Portland
and not only want to market their products
here, but also buy their supplies in this
city. In the past Spokane jobbers have con
trolled much of the Lewiston trade, but the
merchants of that section are now looking
towards Portland.
At the 11:30 session of the Board interest
centered mainly in December wheat. There
were offerings at 8790 cents with 85
cents bid. For December barley, fl.10 was
bid and $1.17 asked.
. Receipts for the day were 3 cars and 1157
sacks of wheat, 75 sacks of oats, 1 car of
flour and '1 cars and I'JKJ bales of hay.
The range of futures was as follows:

BOO.U I' EASTERN BITTER MARKET
Immense Supplier Have Been Put Away at
Highest Prices.
Discussing the butter boom In the East
the latest number of the American Cream
ery says:
'"Never before have the large markets
attempted to take care of anything like
he quantity of butter on such a high level
of values. Just now stock is piling up in
the storage centers at a tremendous rate
iiid there is increasing anxiety as to the
soundness of the position. New York's re
ceipts for the month of June have run up
to 31T.754 packages, against 24ti,334 pack
ages for the same month last year, an in
crease of 71, 420 packages. For June, lOOti,
the receipts were 291, WOO packages, so that
we are ahead this year 25,7t4 packages.
I And this year's figures are within 533
packages of the almost record arrivals of
IMS. Carrying the comparison a little
farther we find that with the increase of
34.5.S5 packages for May the first two
months of the trade year are ahead of the
same months last year 106,005 packages, or
about 25 per cent.
Moat remarkable prices were maintained
in view of the unprecedented supplies that
were poured into the markets. Here at
New York the average for creamery specials
was 23.81c and for extras 23.2lc. Opening at
2tjc there were almost constant fluctua
tions, the bullish sentiment holding sway
long enough to push the quotation of spe
cials up to 24 c, and then under a lack of
speculative support the market gradually
aft tied to 2:ic, after which there was a
brief rally, followed by a drop back to 224
tf? 22 c. which Is the lowest rate at which
any butter has been stored. The average
price for June, 1P07, was 23.60c for extras
and the year before It was 2Q.23C. During
the period from 1O06 back to 18S8 the aver
age June price was IS. 53c.
CAR OF FRESNO WATERMELONS.
Jlrst Lanr Shipment Meets With a Good
Demand.
A straight car of Fresno watermelons was
received yesterday, the first full car to
reach the Northwest this season. They came
from Dlnuba and were of good quality. The
demand was first-class and a large part of
the car was disposed of before night. They
were quoted at 2 cents loose and 2 cents
crated. Cantaloupes were In lighter supply
than they have been for several days and
with a better Inquiry the market was firmer
at l. 500 1.75 par crate.
A car of yellow St. John peaches was re
ceived and sold well at 8590 cents per
box. The peaches were small but of very
good quality. Other deciduous fruits were
in sufdeten-t supply and held steady.
Manager Lick, of the Brooks Fruit
Growers' Association, handled about 500
crates of Brooks loganberries yesterday and
will have a carload or them today, besides
some express lots. He is moving the bulk
of them to Seattle, Tacoma, Spokane and
Astoria and reports the market better than
it was at the opening. The fine quality of
the Brooks logons is an element In their
favor.
SHARr ADVANCE IN LOCAL EGG PRICES
(Short Supplies and Strong Demand Send
Prices Vp With a Rush.
The egg market is showing a greater de
gree of strength than It has for months
past; In fad, It is In a condition border
ing on excitement. The meagre arrivals,
together with an improved demand, both
local and from nearby points, have caused
prices to advance sharply. There were some
tales yesterday at 21 H cents, but most of the
business wa done at 22 cents and better.
A fair value for the day's trade was 22 22H
cents. The market has a distinctly upward
lendency. Conditions are also firm in the
Kast, private Chicago ad Ices quoting prime
Tit sis at 10 v, t-onts, an advance of a cent
over Tuesday. Quotations:
The local poultry market is also In a
stromr position with receipts moderate and
the demand for all kinds of chickens good.
Butter is moving freely at the old prices
and cheese is in good demand and strongly
held.
HOP CROP OF SONOMA COUNTY.
Month Earlier Than LaM Year and Yards
Looking Well.
SANTA ROSA. Cal.. July .Y (To the Edi
tor l in the Santa Rosa district hops are
aaxanced almost a month earlier than last
ear and are looking on the whole very
well. The prospect is good for a normal
crop in most yards. The decrease In acre
ase has been stated differently, dealers put
nnr It at tkkj acres in the County of
Sonoma, while some growers claim it is
aoout 1000 acres. The dealers are more
likely to be correct. Their statements last
year of crops and surplus were nearer true
than that of the croweri
The market here la dead and buried,
there being no orders for hops. The writer
bus several hundred bales for sale, of what
is pronounced very good quality, but can
not get an offer. The agents who have
irled to handle them have failed to get any
order after over two weeks' effort. The
agents here ha e sent reports to the New
York dealers of such favorable crop condi
tions on the Coast, that no further buying
on contracts or otherwise will be permitted
until corresponding reduction in prKe Is
Imposed, and the grower- brought to It.
Some letters from the New York dealers to
their agents, seen by me, state that "the
reports of the hop crop from all over the
world are so favorable that they,, defer
further operations in contracts."
The yield In Sonoma County promises now
to be a little less than last year. Hot
weather pushed on the vines, but many
think the yield, even if heavier, will be
Ight.
Dealers agents here say that the market
is from 5 to cents, but no one in this
county has bought any hops In several
weeks and none in the county is now offer
ing anything for hops. No one want any
hops at present and asents cannot get buy
ing orders. "Borne growers claim the present
croo is not as good as dealers represent It
to be. It will require a few weeks more to
show which are right.
Sonoma County had 4700 acres of hops
last year and has from 0O0 to 1O00 acres
less this year, with many yards reported
heavier than last year.

PRICES PUSHED UP
Substantial Gains Recorded in
the Stock Market. k
STEEL PREFERRED FEATURE
Various Reports of Trade Revival
and Approaching End of Denver
Convention Contribute' to
the Better Feeling.
NEW YORK, July 8. The movement to
advance prices of stocks made material prog
ress today, although the result was not un
interrupted and was not free from some im
posing obstacles in the volume of the selling
encountered at eome stages of the advance.
This celling was particularly notable In stocks)
which have been speculative mediums, even
while the general list was lying practically
dormant. The consequence was a halting and
irregular movement due to the numerous
checks when these obstacles became un sur
mountable. The selling to realize, however,
was not pushed far on the decline, and the
running out of selling orders brought the
reactions continually to a pause.
Conspicuous strength in individual stocks
had a sustaining influence on the general
list. The most prominent instance was the
unusually volatile rise ol 314 points In United
States Steel preferred. The unwieldy bulk
of the market supply of this stock and the
heavy volume of the usual trading In the
steel stocks gives such a movement a sug
gestion of special causes, that assigned in
the present instance being a rumor that the
30.000.0iO of sinking fund bonds held by
the corporation and available for exchange
into preferred stock were to be used for that
purpose. Such an operation was in progress
in 1'3 In connection with an offer tp pre
ferred stockholders of $50,000,000 of the bonds
at par for cash. Only $20,000,000 of the
bonds were sold for cash, that amount being
taken by a syndicate whose commission ma
terially reduced the net price they paid. The
depression in the preferred stock at that time
also made the exchange highly profitable, the
bonds ruling, at a higher price than the pre
ferred stock. The condition is reversed now,
with the preferred stock several points higher
than the bonds.
Some of the hesitation manifest In the move
ment of railroad stocks was due to the de
sire to await the appearance of the Govern
ment crop report, which did hot appear until
2 o'clock. Some of this restraint was thrown
off in the latter part of the day when the
general upward movement gained, consider
able force. Accumulated Influence was ex
erted by reports from various sources of'trade
revival and the fact that the work of the
Democratic convention at Denver Is nearing
completion was an element in the awakening
of activity In the market. During the final
hour considerable animation was shown and
substantial gains showed for the day
Bonds were firm. Total sales, par value
$3,008,000. United States bond, were un
changed on call.

Wheat Prices Rise Sharply on
Government Report.
PROVES TO BE -BULLISH
Amount of "Wheat in Farmers'
Hands Is Twenty Million Bushels
Less Than a Year Ago.
Corn Is Xervous.
CHICAGO. July 8. The Government report.
which was Issued before the market closed.
estimated the condition of the Winter crop
at 80.6. compared with 86 a month ago, and
that of Spring wheat 89.4. against So last
month. The amount of wheat in farmers'
handa was estimated to be 33.707 bushels.
which is 20,000,000 bushels less than was in
reserve the corresponding time a year ago.
The report was more bullish than had been
generally anticipated and prices on the local
exchange advanced rapidly after publication
of the official figures until they were nearly
2 cents above the low point of the day. The
market opened weak, owing to general selling
brought out by lower cables and by excellent
weather in thin country for the new cro-.
This was followed toward midday by a mild
rally caused by reports of damage to the
crop In North Dakota. The market closed
strong. September opened to c lower
at 87 to S7c. sold oft to 87&C and then
advanced to 89iC. The close was 9c
higher at 8S-588:-ic.
The corn market was active and nervous.
There was liberal profit-taking early In the
day. but later the market rallied on active
demand by leading bulls. The clone was a
shade higher, with September at 72c.
Oats were affected by the fluctuations of
wheat and corn, although sentiment was in
clined to be bearish. September closed at
4T-C- J -,
Provisions were Inclined to be weak. De
cause of liberal realizing sales brought out to
some extent by a 10c decline In live hogs.
The market rallied late in the session-on buy
ing by srhorts and closed steady, with Septem
ber pork 2"4c higher, lard a shade lower and
ribs 2M;5c lower.
