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

terday and the customary demand. Among
. the arrivals were three cars of bananas, two
of watermelons, two of cantaloupes, one

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.

New Beet Sugar on the Market.
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.

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.

Irregular Price Movement in
. the Stock Market.
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.

UPTURN -IN WHEAT
Bufge Occurs During the Final
Hour of Trading.
CLOSES NEAR THE TOP
Active Demand Based on Large Cash
Purchases by Millers and by
Exporters Rainfall Was
Not Sufficient,
CHICAGO. July 16. A. bulge In wheat
prices occurred during the final hoar of trad-
ins and waa the reeult of an active general
demand for all deliveries, based chiefly on
liberal purchases of caeh grain by millers of
Kansas City and by exporters at Toledo and
Newyork. The upturn was partly due. how
ever, to advices) from the Northwest which
claimed that ralna had not been sufficient
to relieve the drouth situation In a large part
of the Spring wheat country. During the
early part of the session, the market had
been weak, owing to improved weather for
the crop in the Northwest. The close was
strong, with prices almost at the hlgest point
of the day. September opened He lower to
Uc higher at 90 to 80c, sold off to SUSc
and then advanced to 91c. The close was

Conservation Commission Makes
Progress in Preparing; Keports.
WASHINGTON,, July 16. Although
scarcely more than a month has elapsed
since the President appointed the Na
tional Conservation Commission, the work
of taking stock of the' Nation's natural
resources has begun. This -work will be
carried on vigorously In order to enable
the commission to make its report to the
President by January 1 next.
A large amount of material, embrac
ing the subject of conservation of water,
land and minerals is already available
In the various departments, the heads
of which have offered hearty co-operation
in the great task the commission has un-
Telephone MSSJ
AxxXl
dertaken. Other important data will b
collected through special channels, in
cluding State Conservation Commissions
now being formed and some of the great
National organizations represented at the
White House conference recently.
By early Fall, the commission expects
to have in hand sufficient material to
begin the study of the inventory of the
country's resources, and by the middle
of October it hopes to have the greater
part of this material in hand, so that
the full commission, which will hold He
first meeting in December, may at once
take up the study of facta the Summer's
work has brought together. One week
later the commission will hold a joint
meeting In Washington with the Govern
ors of g,tates or their representatives, with
the view of securing further and closer
co-operation with the various state com
missions. Hit' by Lightning; May Recover.
