LAST FLEECES GO
Oregon Wool Clip About All
Handled.
FRUIT REPORTS EXCELLENT
All Sorts of Food Supplies In Good
Request and Trade Is Re
ported All That Could
Be Desired.
Valley wools have been cleaned up for
some time, with possible exception of email
lots which fanners always hold against a
chance of higher prices later in the season,
a chance seldom coming. The estimate of
the Valley clip was somewhere between
800.000 and 1.000.000 pounds, according to
one of the leading buyers of the state. The
average price paid was around 15 cents.
The same authority estimates the Eastern
Oregon clip, as previously given in The Ore
gonlan. at 12.000,000 . pounds and about
4,000.000 added properly belonging to East
ern Washington. It Is estimated that 90
per cent of this has been handled, mostly
bought at the sales held at Shaniko. Pendle
ton, Heppner and Baker City. There was
no sales day this year at Arlington. The
market has steadied at a range of 10 to
lfti cents, according to shrinkage, and
dealers do not expect any change In quota
tions from now until the last pound has
been disposed of. Eastern and foreign mar
kets now concern manufacturers more than
producers, with the speculators also keeping
tab on fluctuations, such as they are.
The corvallls Times thus refers to the
delivery of probably the last lot of im
portance In Benton County:
What are supposed to be the last two
large lots of wool In the county from this
season's clip were sold and delivered Satur
day. The price as 15 cents, which Is the
figure that practically all the clip has been
sold at this year.
Gradually the mohair clip Is finding its
way to market. Nearly all of it except what
Is in Alpea has already been delivered. On
account of the low price of 18 cents preva
lent throughout the season, many growers
held their stocks, hoping for better figures.
The price still remains the same, and
though some will hold until another year,
most of th growers are parting with their
holdings.
New York reports growing Interest In the
trade at the metropolis with more numerous
Inquiries from buyers than for several
months past. The Boston Commercial Bul
letin reviews the market there in these
words:
. The market Is quieter than for several
weeks. Not many buyers have been on the
market, and those who have put In an ap
pearance have been satisfied with examin
ing freshly arrived supplies, taking sample
bags and In some few cases getting refusals
on certain lines. Everything depends upon
the future of the goods market. If manu
facturers receive orders for goods In volume
equalling expectations then a better busi
ness in raw material will result. If they
are not successful, any activity In the latter
cannot be expected, for consumers, while
not heavily stocked, have sufficient on hand
to supply Immediate requirements of mod
erate extent.
Therefore. It Is not surprising that the
demand shows falling off. particularly as
manufacturers are actively employed In
getting their new goods before their trade.
Most of the week's business Is In small lots
of i,000 to 25,000 pounds each. A very few
exceptions are where larger quantities have
changed hands. These have never exceeded
loO.OOO pounds. realers say that they have
been unable to make sales because they
have not the stock Inquired for. This Is
said to be true of half-blood, quarter-blood
and delaine fleeces. Aside from a contin
uance of trading In Oregon wool to arrive.
there Is no report this week of similar
transactions in fleeces or other domestic
wool.
SHOWING IN CALIFORNIA FRIT ITS.
Weekly Report From Sacramento Indicates
Fine Condition of Yield.
Alden Anderson's weekly report from
Sacramento under date of July 2i says with
reference to shipments and conditions In
that section of California:
Peaches There was an increase in the
peacn snipment, but not as heavy as ex
pected. One reason has been that the can
ners nave commenced buying and some
growers, who did not anticipate much of a
shipping demand, had made arrangements
to dry their entire crops and did not care
to nhip. It le quite unlikely that many
lacnes win go to auction points in th
near future.
I'lums and Prunes Shipment, as expect
ed, has remained steady for the week and
will maintain about the same status for the
next seven days. The plums and prunes
going forward are generally very fine and a
gootiiy portion of them will go to auction
iMMnie ana nign prices are looKea for.
rears The number of csr shipments of
.Harnett pears was heavy last wek. Shin
tiient will remain steady for the next week.
As regards quality we can only reiterate the
Information given last week that the pears
are strictly o. K. In all respects, clean,
smooth, free from scab, smut or damage
and in addition are now a little larger in
ttrape. Thompson seedless are now In
evtdome and ouite a number of stralcht
carloads of them will go forward in the
next seven days. All other varieties of
grapes are reported as doing nlcelv and
promise goon supplies in all respects, al
though a Utile burn from heat hm Vin
reported from some of the districts, but not
rntuign iu cm uown estimate.
Climatic conditions Weather still warm.
mui iiuin uaniBcn i rum pent reported.
Locally the trade continues to h t.
ceedingly heavy with supplies keeping up
for both home requirements and shipping
oeirana.
The first arrival of extra fancy Thompson
seedless grapes from California appeared
yesterday, though a light shipment not up
to standard quailty was received a few days
ago. Shipments of this early variety wilt
be among the arrivals from this time until
the later varieties appear. Price quo4ed yes-
icrnay was a crate.
Oranges and lemons are still reported stiff
In the California market and an advance
over the early part of the week Is quoted in
most nouses on Front street.

Hay lnect for Increased Yield.
Valley timothy ia reported as having been
unu.ually free from weeds this year, con
trary to expectations early In the growing
season, when cold ralna prevailed, retarding
maturity of the plant. One of the largest
balers of hay in tha state, who visits all
sections of the Valley, reports prospect of
a much heavier crop of Mrst-class timothy
than for years pasu lie also predicts a
slight drop in present prices, though he
makes the prediction with reserve. Present
quotations are. however, regarded as rea
sonably certain to be maintained for some
time. Eastern Oregon crop of bay Is figured
at from one-half to two-thirds heavier than
last year. That product fmds Its market
in Portland, with liim exoestion of thai
grown along the line of the Northern Pa
cific, molt of which goes on to the Sound.
Country Produce In Good Errs Demand.
Ttnttr is not regarded among commll-
slon men as of full supply for requirements
of the trade. The receipts of country
creamery and of store have fallen off con
siderably, partly because of the Increased
consumption at home points during har
vest. Eggs are showing a slight tendency
to weakness, while 25 cents is tne ngure
named In most homes, there was posted
on the Board of Trade produce bulletin
yesterday an offer to sell 10 cases of fresh
ranch at -4 cents. nese esse may ne
of the "transferred" brand. Poultry finds
readv sale at quoted prices, with the mar
ket steady. There is reported to be a
good even demand for everything in the
poultry line.
Between Seasons in Oyster Trade.
The nresent Is the between-seasons per-
riod in the oyster trade. About the only
movement is in a limited way o Shoal-
water Bays, which are shipped to both
Northern and Southern points and as tar
Interior as Salt Lake City. There is but a
small local demand. The regular season
I opens September 1. but the trade expects
llltle movement uniu sooui Bepieuioer .
At this time there are no Olymplas In the

TRUST SECURITIES BRACED
Brokers Opinions Differ as to Polit
ical Effect of Court's Action in
Setting Aside $29,0.00,000
Fine at Chicago.
NEW YORK, July 23. There was a mani
fest growth of participation in the transac
tions In stocks today, commission houses re
porting increased orders from a . scattered
outside clientage.
The market broadened perceptibly and
embraced an Increasing number of securi
ties not often traded in. The lone period of
dormancy of some of these while an upward '
movement had been on in the open market,
makes them susceptible to a spasmodic re
adjustment to the new order of values,
which offers startling contrasts -with the
prices of thoso prevailing when dealing last
occurrea m them.
Such dealings were In evidence today in
many Instances. At the same time active
pro At-taking was going on in the favorite
trading stocks and the price movement had
a very irregular appearance in consequence.
This was one symptom of the lessened artl
flciallty of the market.
Movements lacked the machine-like pre
lsion characteristic of the early grades of a
speculative campaign, when operations were
almost wholly in the hands of a lew leaa
ers, acting in concert and depending on de
vices of manipulation to achieve their ef
forts. Such growth of outside demand as is
now being seen in the stock market Is the
bject sought by the early professional oper
.tions, and when It is secured there is
usually no time lost rn taking advantage of
it to transfer speculative holdings and se
cure the profits accrued.
This pront-taklng, while perfectly evident
from the action of the market today, was
conducted with caution and the control of
the movement was not abandoned at any
time.
There was a supposition that a large ac
cumulation .of holdings bad been effected in
anticipation of a decision reversing the
$29,000,000 fine Imposed upon the Standard
Oil Company and it was assumed that the
handing down of that decision yesterday
would prompt some selling out of these ac
cumulations. That decfslon continues the subject of
active discussion In the financial district
with general 'agreement on its probable
effect in reviving demand for corporation
securities. There was some difference of
opinion over the possible political effect of
the upsetting of the Government's case
against the Standard OH Company and the
reflected consequences to be apprehended in
financial affairs.
No assistance was received from abroad In
sustaining prices of stocks. The price of
copper was again advanced, both in New
York and In London, and news of this
country's crops continued favorable, such
strength as was shown in the grain markets
being attributed to foreign demand.
There was some increase in the selling
pressure late in the day, which reduced the
previous advances considerably and made
the closing tone Irregular.

WHEAT HAS UPTURN
Crop Damage Reports Assist
in Movement.
OTHER INFLUENCES HELP
Strong Market at Chicago Is Main
tained All Day, Though Gain in
Quotations Is Confined to
Fractions of Cent.
CHICAGO. July 23. The strength la the
wheat market developed toward the end of
the first hour and continued unabated, scar
city of offerings in the pit making the bull-
isn demonstrations easily possiDie.
The chief reason for the upturn were a
number of crop-damage reports from the
Dakotas and an advance In the price of
cash wheat at Kansas City. Other strength
ening Influences were improved export bust
ness and a forecast for light receipts here
tomorrow.
The close was strong. September opened a
shade lower to a shade higher at 90
80c, sold off to 90fifl0c and then ad
vanced to 91c. closing at 90c.
The corn market was ratner weaK eariy
because of selling by local bears. During
the last half of the session, the market
rallied on active demand by commission
houses brought out by the upturn in wheat
and oats, September closed strong at 76c.
Oats were active - and strong. September
dosed at 45,45c.
Provisions were firm at the outset, but the
market soon essed off on scattered realis
ing sales. At the close. September pork was
off 10c and lard and ribs were each a shade
lower.

MILK FACTORY FOR ALBANY
Local Capitalists Interested In Pro
posed Condensing Plant.
A7.RAMV, Or., July 23. Speclal.)-
Albany Is apparently about to realize
a long-cherished plan tor a bigr milk-
condensms plant. C. W. Tebault, a
local real estate dealer, who recently
came here from Virginia, Is now pro
moting; plans for a plant, and at a
meeting: to be held tomorrow, the plans
will take definite form. Tebault plans
to conetruct a plant with a capacity
of $40,000 pounds of condensed milk
day.
The center of a rich agricultural and
dairying country, with splendid trans
portation facilities, Albany has long;
been recognized by condensery experts
as an ideal location for such an Indus
try. The stock was all subscribed
here once for the bignreet plant on the
Coast, and the plan failed only through
the opportune discovery of a "graft" In
the plans of an outside promoter, who
secured the stock subscriptions.
Tebault says the present movement
for a condensery is not an embryonlo
project, and that lt will result In the
establishment of a blgr enterprise here.
It Is stated that there Is enough out
side capital Interested to build a small
Dlant here anyway, and enough local
stock will probably be furnished to
make the condensery a big- one.
PHEASANTS ARE PLENTIFUL
Hunters Will Find Good Sport
Linn County This Season.
ALB ANT, Or, July 23. (Special )
Thougn not so abundant as In some
nast years. China pheasants will be
as plentiful this Fall as during-
hunting: season of 1907. Farmers In
Linn County, where the birds were first
liberated in America, and where they
are yet more numerous than any other
place in the United States, report that
in spite of the unfavorabl hatching:
season this Spring- there are apparently
plenty of toe young game birds.
Last year at the end of the open
season there were more old birds left
than for marry years. This was larg-ely
jOus to poor bunting- weathon. With so
Telephone MS Si;
A2I37
many old birds left there would have
been a record-breaking number of
pheasants this year but for the late
Spring. The cold rains this faprlngr Just
at the time the young- birds were hatch-
ins; killed many of them.
One favorable circumstance tn the
hatching: season this year was the ab
sence of crows. These birds eat the
pheasant egg's and some years they
have been so plentiful as to have an
appreciable effect on the number of
young pheasants.
while the China pheasants are very
plentiful this year there are practically
no native pheasants and grouse seen
in the fields. In fact, lt is said that
they are becoming scarcer year by year
and are rapidly becoming extinct In
this part of the state. The cause of
this condition Is not known though
many farmers assert that the China
pheasants destroy the nests of the na
tive birds and kill their young.
Preparing; for Wallowa Fair.
WALLOWA. Or.. July 23. (Special.)
Plans are being prepared for the

County Annual Fair, to be held here
this Fall. Committees are diligently
at work and the fair will be one of the
most successful ever held In thla
county, both from the point of exhibits
and from the point of entertainment of
guests.
