CHEESE 15 TOO LOW
Price Is Out of Proportion to
Butter Values.
ADVANCE IS INDICATED
Light Stocks In the Producing Cen
ters and a Strong Demand
Promise Higher Prices in
the. Near Future.
Tho cheese market has a Arm tone and
an upward tendency. Yesterday's quota
tions were 13 H & 14 cents, with the de
mand good and suppMrs light. That prices
should rule higher than are current is the
general opinion in the trade, as cheese quo
tations are out of proportion to butter
values.
Last year the lowest butter price In the
Portland market was 22 Is cents on April
36 and the same bottom fiffure was reached
at San JYancisco on the same date. Cheese
sold at Its lowest In Portland last year
on June 20 at 14 cents, while the San
Francisco cheese market on May 2:1. 1907.
had dropped to 31 cents. On July 28
last year, butter was selling at 30 cents
In Portland and cheese at J6 cents, showing
an advance of 7 cent on butter and 1 Vi
cents on cheese from the low point. In the
Ban Francisco market, butter sold on Aug
ust 8 last year at 294 cents and cheese
at 14 cents, or an advance of 6 cents
on butter and 34 cents on cheese from the
low point.
In Portland today butter is selling 2H
cents a pound above the low point last year,
while cheese here Is Selling 1 cent below
last year's bottom figure.
It will be seen. In comparing the above
prices, that cheese Is selling several cents
too low. Llirht stocks at nil the cheese
producing centers herabouts indicate a
34 to 15 cent market before August 15
The Indications are that the creameries
In the cheese-producing sections will likely
give more attention to buttr making dur
ing the remainder of the season.
IXCAL GRAIN TRADERS ARB CAUTIOUS
In View of Crop Uncertainty, Business Is
Quiet on Local Board.
With crop conditions so uncertain there
Is not much disposition among sraln men
to speculate In futures at the present time,
and business is naturally quiet on Che
Board of Trade. The latest reports from
the wheat sections indicate no material
change In conditions and the leading grain
men hold to their former estimate of a
crop from 20 to 25 per cent short of last
year's. The first threshing returns are quite
satisfactory, but they are of early grain,
which was In a better position to stand the
hot. dry weather than that which matured
later. The returns next week will furnUh
a better Indication of what the crop Is to be.
At the Board of Trade yesterday, 83 cents
was bid for both Sej,terr fcer and December
wheat and there were offers to sell the lat
ter delivery at 4 cents. For September
oats f 1.25 was bid and $1. 10 1.20 was
offered for December. There were offers
to feell December barley at $1.18 1.20,
with $1.07401.10 bid.
Receipts for the day were 4 cars and
1400 sacks of wheat. 3 cars and 49 sacks
of oats. 878 sacks of barley and 1 ear of
hay.

EGG MARKET CONTINUES TO ADVANCE
Poultry Firm and Active and Veal Quoted
Hipper.
The egg market continues to show a de
cidedly firm tone, and with the advance in
prices the demand became stroncer.
Prices quoted on Front ttreet yesterday
were 22 4(5 23' cents. One large handler
said he had orders at 24 cents which he
could not fill. These top prices are only
on fresh selected ranch stock. As the
shortage begins to be felt, the trade Is
turning its attention to the Eastern market
for supplies, and three cars of Eastern eggs
were started for this city yesterday.
Poultry was in good demand yesterday,
fancy hens selling at 13134 cents and
Springs at 1819 cents.
There was also a strong demand for
veal, which was very scarce and quotations
on the best offerings were advanced to 84
tf9 cents. Dressed pork, on the ether hand,
was dull and weak.
The butter market was firm and active
at the former rang;- of prices.
UrIu reW of Cancan Bark.
The peel of rasrara bark in the North
west will be smaller than usual this season,
, according to reports received from the
coast counties. This fact, however, has
not stimulated the local market in any de
gree, nor has it helped trade in the East,
where it Is also known that the lfns out
put will be lipht. On the contrary the East
ern market has taken a turn for the worse
and the quotations of the trade papers have
been reduced a cent on sales at 6 cents.
The best market for bark appears to be In
Europe, latest English advices reporting
more Inquiry.
Ten Cent Hop Offers.
There have been no new developments In
the hop market In the past two days. Con
tracts are strong at 10 cents, for. in spite
of all that has been said for and against
the advance. It Is known positively that
growers have been offered this figure. Crop
conditions are said to be not materially
changed from last week. The well culti
vated yards are making good progress,
while the neglected yards are showing
plainly the effect of the dry. hot weather.
Oregon Wools la the F.nM.
According to the latest Boston advices,
wool dealer have succeeded In turning over
a fair percentage of their purchases In Ore
gon. Transactions in staple continue, but
the quantities are not announced. Trading
Is around 18 cents and the scoured cost is
figured as high as 58 cents in some cases.
The range Is from 56 cents up.

SMALL NET GAINS
Gradual Improvement in Busi
ness Conditions.
INDUSTRY MORE ACTIVE
In Many Lines of Trade, However,
Midsummer Dullness Is Pro
nounced, but Good Fall
Business Expected.
NEW YORK, July 10. Dun's weekly re
view of trade will say:
Further small gains are recorded In com
mercial progress, favorable reports pre
dominating, although the tendency Is by
no means definite. In many lines of trade
the dullness of midsummer is unusually
intense, but each week brings Increased
manufacturing activity and Instances are
noted of orders for Fall goods placed too
late for delivery at specified rates.
Bank exchanges this week in leading
cities of the United States aggregated
$l,IKt1.R00.7tfO, a decrease of per cent
as compared with 1907, and 25.8 per cent
compared with the figures of two years ago.
The comparison is unusually unfavorable
because of the fact that only five business
days are included In 1908 in comparison
with full weeks in the preceding years.
Even with this difference, however, some of
the cities make very satisfactory reports,
notably Kansas City, with a decrease of
only 63 per cent, compared with the full
week last year, and a gain 17. 7 per cent
over 190ft. At Chicago, the decrease is only
1 6.4 per cent from the clearings In 1907
and there is an Increase of 1.3 per cent over
the exchanges of two years ago. Tne dif
ference In number of days is eliminated by
taking the dally average statement, which
for the month of July thus far, shows a
decrease of It per cent from last year's
exchanges and 8.8 per cent as compared
with 1906. These frgures are more truly
representative of the difference in volume
of business. ,
FSCAl, QUIET SUMMER CONDITIONS
Feeling; of Confidence as to the Outcome
of Fall Business.
NEW YORK, July 10. Bradstreets tomor
row will say:
Midsummer quiet still reigns in general
trade and industry, but the advance of the
season and the promise of good average
crops have accentuated the feelinc of con
fidence as to the ultimate outcome of future
Fall business.
Business failures in the United States for
the week ending July 9 number 246. which
compares with 236 last week and 183 in
the like week of 3 907.
W'heaC including flour, exports from the
United States and Canada for the week
ending July 9 aggregates 2.781.828 bushels,
against 2.008.565 last week and 3,264,714
this week last year.
Bank Clearing.
NEW YORK. July 10. Bradstreefs bank
clearings report for the week ending July 9
shows an aggregate of 12,172,211,000 as

STOCK PRICES IRREGULAR
TRADERS CONFUSED BY UNCER
TAIN MOVEMENT.
Liberal Offerings on Every Advance.
No Evidence of Support in
Later Dealings.
NEW YORK. July 10. The tone of the
stock market was irregular today, and the
professional traders were a great deal con
fused by the obstacles they encountered in
the movements of prices In both directions.
The start was lower than last night, the
disposition being, apparently, to take profits
on the action of the Democratic- National
convention. There has been buying of
stocks recently on the assumption that with
the uncertainty over the two candidates
definitely removed, there would be some
outside demand for stocks aroused. At the
lower level. Induced by this realizing, an
aggressive demand developed and prices ad
vanced vigorously.
This movement had not proceeded far
when stocks began to be offered in a volume
and with a persistence that argued some
large participation In the market on that
side. Selling orders In several separate
stocks came from an Individual source in
5000 to 1'0,000-share portions, and this led
to a supposition that plunging operations
were being renewed on the part of a recent
spectacular performer In the market.
Some of the stocks which have figured
most prominently in this week's rise were
affected by an exhaustion of demand at the
higher prices to which they had been car
ried, and the prices gave way easily before
realizing sales. This was particularly true
pt American Smelting, Amalgamated Cop
per and the two Hill railroad stocks, which
were strong yesterday, and United Stales
Steel preferred, which rose buoyantly on the
previous day. The sentimental effect of
these weak points was coniiderabie. and
there was no such conspicuous point of
strength to offset it as during other periods
of realizing during the wek. The general
list, therefore, showed more sympathy with
this weakness than yesterday.
There was a sudden drop of activity of
the market during the midday period, after
a first hour's business larger than for any
day of the week. The appearance of sup
port In the market disappeared in the iaie
dealings and the closing tone was distinctly
weak.
Bonds were irrestilar. Total sales, par
value. $2,415,000. United States bonds were
unchanged on call.

WEAK AT TIE CLOSE
Chicago Wheat Market Nerv
ous and Very Active.
FLUCTUATIONS OF 1 CENT
Failure of Liverpool to Respond to
Previous Day's Bulge Unset
tles Feeling at
Opening.
CHICAGO. July 10. The floal unknut
in the wheat market marked the close of a
nervous session during which a large vol
ume of business was transacted. The unre
cponsire tone of the Liverpool market,
prices for wheat on that exchange being .a
trifle higher, notwithstanding a sharp ad
vance here yesterday, caused considerable
selling here at the opening which resulted
in a slight dip during the first few minutes
of trading. Commission-houses, however,
were active bidders and this soon caused a
sharp rally, prices advancing about lc be
fore the end of the first half hour. For a
time sentiment in the pit continued bullish,
inspired to a large extent by unseasonably
high temperatures in the Northwest, par
ticularly in North Dakota. The market
weakened again In the final hour on profit
taking and closed weak at almost the low
est point of the day. September opened H
to c lower at 89140e. advanced to Si0
and then declined to 89c. The close wu
at 89?, 89ic.
The corn market was strong throughout
the session, owing to active demand by
shorts and leading bulls. At the top, prices
were from 2 to 2Hc above the low point of
the day. The upturn seemed to be due to
the oversold condition of the market. Sep
tember opened 14 c lower to He higher at
71 72c. advanced to 74 He and closed at
73i 73'4c.
The bulge in corn caused a strong mar
ket for oats. September opened He lower to
He higher at 3H40q and advanced to
40Sic where lt closed.
Provisions were active and strong. The
strength of corn and an advance of 10c in
the price of live hogs were the chief in
fluences. At the close, September pork was
up 32Ve at 18.17H. lard was up 12HlSc
at 9.6214 8.65. and ribs were 1517Ho
higher at f9.
