THE MORNING OREGO"TAN, FRIDAY, JULY 17. IDOS. 17 SEASUTJ AGDIJT OVER Wool Buyers Taking Up the Fragments of the Clip. IMPROVEMENT IN EAST Oregon Staple Firm in the Boston Market Wheat Quiet and Nom inal Steady Trade In Country Produce. The wool buying season In trie Wet is rapidly drawing to a close. In Oregon, all the Important tcheduled sales have come off. I n Eastern Oregon a few scattered Iota remain unvold, which will doubtless soon be taken up at private sale, and In the Willamette Valley the bulk of the sea son's ctfp Is In dealers' hand. In the trade, much Intere-t Is manifested In the course of the Ha tern market where certain wco!a, and In marked decree Oregon staple, have shown en upward tendency. Pales have been mad In the past week at Boston, at 18 to IS1, cents and the scoured cost Is raised to 98(9(10 cents. Outside of Montana and Dakota the clip In the West la pretty -well cleaned up. In the former state, IS cents for good lots and 15 to IT centi for less attractive offerings are the prevailing prices. Over a third of the clip of the state has changed ownership. In the Dakota s, fine clips sell at a cost of RS rents and half-bloods at 50 to 52 cents landed Tn commenting on the outlook, the Boston Commercial Bulletin says: "Next week the lightweight season ' for men's wear fabrics will be officially opened y many large corporations. The prospects are riot brilliant, as there Is no evidence that buyers are to be?ome active operators. On the contrary, the feeling Is that trade will drag along as during the heavyweight season. There Is wanting the confidence in the goods situation that Is apparent In the raw material end. Wool dealers have oper ated freely In the West, but cloth buyers are backward about placing orders. It may be that a change will take place as the lightweight season progresses, as it Is hint ed that prices on many lines will be made very attractive. The decline In raw ma ttrial from its cost of a year ago has been eevore, and should permit manufacturers to sell goods at comparatively low prices. The one important thing that ts wanted to com jiletely rejuvenate the wool situation Is a good, confident demand for the manufac tured product. That worsteds are to do Letter in this last half of the year than In ;ht- first Is quite certain, but rather dubious views are taken of the prospects of woolens." MOVEMENT OF CALIFORNIA. FRUIT Shipment of Yellow Crawfords Will goon Re at Its Height. The movement of California deciduous fruits n the past week is reported by the California Fruit Distributers as follows; peaches. 43 cars As advised lat week, we are Just getting started on Early Craw fords and Fosters. The shipment for the ccming week of these varieties will be quite llherai. With the latter part of the week, and the beginnings of next week, they will be in the height of the season. The ship ment for the next seven days will be con siderably greater on peach tonnage than we have had before this year in any one weea. Plums and Prunes. 1S4 cars The ship ment of plums and prunes has held up well and the quality has been all right. The shipment for the next seven days will re main steady with probably a slight decrease In the total valume. Pears. 147 cars We are now well into the Bartlett shipping season from the Sac ramento River district, with other places shipping a few. As before outlined, the pears are clean, smooth and nice; no smut, scab or surface damage to injure their quultty or appearance. They are also very free of worms. Shipments for the next week will be materially larger than last week. They are having a very -aide distribution and we do not look for an accumulation or bunching of supplies in any one market. The demand for them thus far has been big and - entire satisfaction has been given to all recetvers. Grape More crates of Fountalnbleau have gone forward in auction car, but not enough, when speaking of tonnage. to amount to anything. Thompson Seedless will begin to go out in larger lots very shortly. All varieties of grapes are reported as doing nicely and promising a good supply of fine quality of fruit. FRflT MARKET IS WELL SUPPLIED Price Show No Important Change From ' Wednesday. There were liberal receipts of fruit yes terday and the customary demand. Among . the arrivals were three cars of bananas, two of watermelons, two of cantaloupes, one of peaches and one of lemons. loganberries were quoted firmer at 85 cents to $1 per crate, as the supply was not so heavy as on Wednesday. Raspberries were alo firmer at $1. A few strawberries rams in. but they were hardly quotable. Blackcaps sold at a wide range of $1.252. There were small receipts of blackberries, which offered at S cents per pound. Another small shipment of Lambert cher ries arrived and cleaned quickly up at 10 rents a pound. Fancy Royal Annes sold at $1 If? 1.10 per 22-pound box and Blngs brought $1.25-1.50 per box. Ordinary loos cherries sold down as low as 2 cents, cur rants were scarce and firm at $2.25 per box. Peaches were a shade easier and apricots and other tree fruits were steady. STRONG IEMANT FOR CHICKENS. Tillamook Cheeserankers Take Bullish View of Future. Though receipts of chickens were larger than usual yesterday, prices continued very firm under a strong demand. Ducks and geese, however, were slow. The egg market was not as active as earlier in the -week, but the tone was gen erally quoted firm. Most of th lales of the day were reported at 24 cents Great strength is still the f- ae of the cheese market. The Tlllamuo.. factories are closely sold up and a bullish view of the future Is taken by the manufacturers there. City creameries announce a marked de crease in their output. Country creamery !s working off fairly well Prices are un changed on all grades. FIRMER FEELING IN GRAIN MARKETS Wheut Clone Willi Gain of Cent and Hurley and Oats Are ANo Higher. Grain prices offered at the Board of Trade yesterday showed a firmer feeling In all departments. Both September and De cember wheat closed wtth a gain of one c-nt. Oats were 23 cents and barley cents higher. There were no sales. Receipts fur the day were 2 cars and 300. 000 pounds of wheat. 1 car each of barley and flour and ft cars of hay. The range of futures was as follows; WHEAT. Open. . High. Low Close, -Sept $ HI $ $ pi Dec. Si .m OATS.

A shipment of new beet sugar was re ceived to is week from the Union 6ua;ar Company, of San Francisco. It was the first lot of new beet received this season. The u,uaitry la pronounced superior to any turned out heretofore, being of finer grain and bet ter Cklor. and aumost aqual In. quality to fruit or berry sugar. Improvements that are being made In the manufacture of beet sugar are doing much to overcome the prejudice that formerly existed against it, and It ts believed the sales of beet this year will be largely increased. Berry Shipment From Gervals, GERVAIS, Or., July 16. (Special.) Loganberry shipments are large from this station, and shippers report a lair market. Shipments are mopt ly made to retailers at points as far inland as Prinevllle and. Fos sil, and as far east as Huntington. The Ger vais growers are not members of the Brooks Fruitgrowers Association. There are 35 acres of loganberries planted and In par tial bearing in the vicinity of Gervais. which another year will produce immense crops. There is also a large acreage of other kinds of berries and small fruits that will com on next year Bringing: Rice From Hawaii. Owing to the high prices quoted on South ern rice, the trade is now bringing in rice from the Hawaiian Islands. The first bag of new crop rough rice has arrived in New Orleans and been sold at $33.50, equal to about 50c a pound for cleaned rice. The actual crop movement Is not expected to start for two weeks, and until .September 1 it is claimed receipts will not be heavy. Carload of Grapes for Chicago. FRESNO, Cal., July 16, The first carload of grapes for the Bast was shipped from Reed ley thu morning for Chicago. It con sists of Thompson's seedless. of a fine qual ity.

DROP IN FLOUR PRICES feEATTXE MILLERS CUT PRICES TO MOVE STOCKS, Kalns Delay Berry Ptckixig Melons in Oversupply Another Advance in Eggs. SEATTLE, Wash., July 16. (Special.) Millers sprung a surprise on the local market today by announcing a decline of 20 cents In flour. No changes were made in export flour. Dullness in the local market and a desire to clean up heavy stocks now in ware houses are responsible for the cut. Rains delay berry picking and the market was poorly supplied with) strawberries1, black and ted raspberrries and loganberries. Ebkb advanced again today. Most bouses put the price up to 29 cents and a few se lect sold even as high as 30 cents. Ranchers are paid 28 cents for the best. Rain is ex pected to check any prospective advance In butter. The market is beginning; to be overloaded with watermelons. Four cars arrived today and the price declined H cent to 2 cents as a minimum. Dreseed beef will be reduced Monday prob ably H cent to 7H cents. The market u? heavily supplied with all kinds of meats ex cept veal, which still holds scarce. There is a better demand for live poultry than has been known in weeks. The first announcement of the salmon pack in w estern Alaska is expected here daily. QUOTATIONS AT BAN FRANCISCO.

GAINS AND LOSSES MIXED Foreign Trade Report Shows Read justment Going on in Internation al Trade Situation Time ' Loans Are Stronger.- NEW YORK. July 16 The movement to take nrofits in stocks, which developed yes terday, was continued for a time today. This process of digestion caused an irregular price movement and an unsettled tone to a decree. The character of the marker was not essentially changed in spite of the mod erate shrinkage In its dimensions and tne ; shiftinse of aoeculative attention to new I points In the list. The Industrial stocks and i specialties, some of them of a lower graae, j received the greatest share of the day's new buying orders, while issues which have figured hitherto In the strength 6f the mar- , ket were subjected to profit-taking. No ; strictly new factors were introduced into the situation. 1 The publication by the Bureau of Statis tics of the country's foreign trade report for June and for the completed fiscal year offered a striking exhibit. For the completed nscal year, the trade balance in our favor was reported as $666,467,103, which la $20, 027.450 greater than in the preceding year. and establishes a record for that item, ine shrinkage in the 12 months of $240,029,431 in imports points clearly to the prime cause of this showing, and throws light on the comparative moderation of the reflux of gold In the movement which has followed the $100,000,000 imports of that metal last Fall, The June figures show with equal clearness that a shift occurred In this tend ency. The month's exports were the small est since September, 190 1.' It may be ac cepted that these changes Indicate a read justment to serve normal conditions In inter national trade such as has been going on in the domestic trade situation. Additional testimony to this readjustment is received daily in the financial district, that in the form of published interviews with prominent capitalists receiving the greater amount of atttentlon. That for today, coming from the executive head of the Amalgamated Copper Company, Implied a lather striking exception In the case of that metal from the cheerful views he expressed of con ditions elsewhere. The fact was seen In the early reactionary tone in the copper group. Tne time loan market was strong in tone. The day's Changes In stocks were small, gains and losses being mixed. Bonds were steady. Total sales, par value, $4,050,000. United States bonds were unchanged on call. CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS. Closing Sales. Hljrh. Low. Bid.
