THE 3IORNTNG OREGOXIAX, TUESDAY, JULY 28, 1908. 15 SALES LIGHT SO FAR Not the Usual Amount of Trad ing in New Wheat. FARMERS ARE BULLISH Advance of a Cent in the September and December Deliveries at the Board of Trade Cheese Market Moves Up. Very little new crop wheat has changed hands to date, much less than usual at this time of year, and less than the trade cad expected. Buyers are making offers freely in all sections, but farmers, so far, .have proved Indifferent sellers. The local trade yesterday quoted club at SG cents and bluestem at 88 cents on track here, but It is reported that some buyers are offering more, though without much success. The export value of wheat Is placed at 2 cents less than the figures given above. Through out all sections ofthe Inland Empire the same bullish sentiment prevails among the farmers, who are holding back expecting big her prices later. They are encouraged not only by the apparently strong position of the worlds markets, as shown by statis tics, but the advanced offers made in some sections also stimulates them to hold for an expected general rise In the market. These higher prices offered by some of the Interior buyers may be for the purpose of fetarttng the movement toward storage warehouses, but at any rate they have to be met by the other buyers If any business Is expected to result. Very little old wheat Is offered and as the demand for It Is slack. It commands no premium over the new crop. The speculative grain markets were Ir regular at the Board of Trade yesterday. Wheat closed with an advance of one cent on both September and December. Oats a ere 2 V4 cents lower at the close. Septem ber barley opened at a decline of 5 cents and closed 2 cents lower than Saturday's last quotation, while the December delivery tai off 2M cent. Receipts for the 48 hours v-ere:.

Strength of Corn. Advices from California report a strong tone In the spot tomato market, where prices have Advanced 5 cents a do sen In the past two weeks. The Ohio and Kentucky tomato Cie trlots) have been affected by drouth, while is Maryland and New Jereey conditions are not entirely favorable. Utah packers a' so report the situation Is not a good as It was. The carry-over supply in packers' hands is about cleared up and jobbers' etocks are also much diminished. As tomatoes were the longest thing on the list, the change in market condi tion 1 regarded as highly favorable. The canned corn market shows increasing sn length, with prospect for a pack even mailer than was anticipated. Because of vxcesslve rain In the Western corn states, the crop got a very late start. The latest reports from Illinois, Iowa, Wisconsin, and (Nebraska, are not very flattering as to crop oondRtions and toides the acreage le less than last year's. Very little spot corn 1 left in packer hand. CHEESE ADVANCES HALF A CENT. Market Is Strong at New Price With Stocks Decreasing. The expected advance In the cheese mar ket took effect yesterday, and all grades were lifted half a, cent. The market Is sarong at the advance with stocks at Tilla mook decreasing. The creamery 0 utter market Is very strong, with production declining and the demand holding up well. Eggs were variously quoted on the street yesterday. In a general way the receipts of fiesh ranch stock were not heavy, but East ern eggs were being offered with some free dom and this had a tendency to bold down the market all around. Twenty-five cases of Oregon wre offered at the Board of Trade at 24 cents. Receipts of poultry were large for Mon day, and as the retailers carried over a con siderable supply last week, a shading of previous quotations is looked for In the next few days. ACTIVE DEMAND FOR FKESH FRl'IT. Cantaloupe Sell I p to 3 reaches In Large Supply. The fruit and vegetable market continued active. Among the arrivals was a car of California apples, pears, plums and Craw fords. The apples were three, three and one half and tour-tier Alexanders, and were quoted at $150 per box. California Craw ford peaches offered at SO cent to $1 and 11 ale's Ear lies, from Ashland, which were plentiful, were quoted at 50C75 cents. The cantaloupe market was strong at $3 for the best. Cucumbers were in large supply and lower, hothouse bringing SO cent per doxen and out-door varieties $1 per boa. Tomatoes were also plentiful, but sold well. Hale of Lant Year's Hops. Th-ere is a little business doing In 1907 hops, but otherwise the market la quiet. A number of transactions were reported yes terday, among them the purchase by T. A. Llveeley A Co. of 96 bales from Mike Ma honey, of Gervais, at cents, and the Springer lot of 87 bales, at Grants Pass, at 8H cents. Some contracting has been done In the last few days at cents to the grower. - Export Flour Market Dull. The export flour trade shows no signs of an early revival. A few Inquiries are com ing along from the Orient, but the drop In silver operates against much business being done with that quarter. It is too early to get any line on the probable volume of the export flour trade In the coming season.

" SELLING FOR LONDON Foreigners Fear the Effect of Taft's Speech of Acceptance General Conditions Without Change. Bonds Are Irregular. NEJV YORK, July 27. The course of prices in the stock market today seemed to be based on technical causes largely. Lack of news to afford any other explanation corroborates thi view. The professional element came to the conclusion that the strong rally on Sat urday waa due to a driving in of the abort interests rather than to a resumption of ac cumulation by the large forces which have been back of the market for several weeks past. An attempt was made to extend this movement early today. The distribution of buying orders waa made to look as If coming from the strong Interests which, have sup ported prices for a considerable period past. The weight of the selling orders on the ad vance created the suspicion that this demon strative buying was designed to cover efforts to realise. Prices consequently turned down ward. There was eome selling for London ac count, which aggravated the depression. The London selling was eald to be due to an un favorable view of the effect on financial af fairs to be looked for from Taft's speech of acceptance of the Republican nomination. Re ports were current that abstracts of the speech were published today In London. Where supporting measures have appeared heretofore to absorb stock offerings, these were lacking today. Last week' heavy dis tribution of speculative profits had proceeded to a degree apparently that left a powerful element in the speculation Indifferent to the course of prices or actively favoring a de cline to afford favorable opportunity for get ting back stocks sold at the advance. General condition remained unchanged. Very large estimated shipments of the Spring wheat crop and the downward course of com modity price indicated the hopeful view held regarding all the important crops. Copper advanced again here and In London. Rail way official admitted only moderale im provement in the traffic situation. The quick sale of the $18,000,000 Central Pacific bonds by the bankers who took them from the rail road company waa regarded as a motive for the supporting of values heretofore. Bonds were irregular. Total sales, par value, $2,458,000. United States 2s registered declined and the 2s coupon advanced on call. CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS. Closing Sales. High. Low.

INSANE FROM HORROR Survivor of Philippine Massacre At tempts Suicide at Brooklyn. NEW YORK, July 27. The terrible massacre of the men of the Ninth In fantry at Ballingiga. Island of Samar, September 28, 1901. by treacherous Fili pinos, when Captain Connell and more than 40 others of the command were bo loed, la pathetically recalled by the case of one of the survivors of that tragic day, Patrick McGuire, of Brooklyn, who Is In the hospital dying from poison taken witn suicidal intent. McGuire was only 18 years old when he enlisted In the Ninth Infantry and was a member of Company C of that regiment at the time of the massacre at Balllngiga. He was one of the 18 to escape. But the horror of that day preyed on McGuire's mind even after he returned to his mother's home In Brooklyn, and two years ago his mind failed entirely. He was sent to St. Eliz abeth's, the great insane hospital at Washington, and remained there until 10 days ago, when he had so far recovered that his mother was allowed to bring him back to Brooklyn. The old terror was still with him. His mind constantly wandered and he would spring from his bed at night with cries for "Jim," his bunkie, whose life was sacrificed In the awful massacre In Samar. Last night he escaped his mother's watchful eyes and took the poi son which the doctors fear will cost him his Ufa. Carlists Not Molested. SAN SEBASTIAN, July 27.
