MORXIXG OREGONIAN. WEDNESDAY, AUGUST . 5, 1903. . t ' . . . FANCY WHEAT PRICE Exporters Buying Club at 92 and Bluestem at 95. ARE ABOVE THE MARKET Competition Between Few Firms Gladdens Heart of Farm erPrunes Very Firm at AH Coast Points. Fancy prices are bring paid for wheat hy Portland exporters In the Inland Empire. There la competition among two or three of them evidently to ee which can pay the highest price. The farmera are enjoying the row and exiling with more or 1pm readiness. It ta a queatlon how lonlt the ecrap will continue, but it Is probable that before long the buyer will have all they want of It and quit, when the market will jet down again to the export basla It Is surmised that the buying at extreme prices Is for the purpose of starting the wheat moTement to warehouses, as la usually dona at the opening of the season. It Is also hinted, hoaever, that soma of the export nrms are taking advantage of the situation to force their competitors to pay prices considerably above the market. At any rate, club wheat has been bought on the basis of l and 92 centa Portland, while the export value of club Is not over 89 cents ac cording to yesterdays cables, and one or two centa under this would be a fair price according to buyers for the English market. Transactions In bluestem on the basis of M ffM cents are also reported. These stiff prices being paid in Isolated Instances by a few buyers make It difficult to quote actual local values. Ninety-one cents was bid for December wheat at the Board of Trade yesterday. This was within a cent of the price at which wheat waa offered for that delivery. It was as close as buyers and sellers could get together and the reduction of the spread leads to the hope that they will eventually get to the point of doing business. The feeling waa firm all around. September closed at Ml centa bid. an advance of 2 cents over the last price of Monday. Oats were steady and barley weak. A meeting of the grain trade will be held at noon today to pass upon a number of applications for membership. Receipts for the day were 8 cars and 050 sacka wheat. 1 car and 30 sacks oats. S cars barley and cars and 270 bales hay. The range of futures waa as follows: WHEAT. Open. High. Low. Cl"e. Spt I .M I ." . Dec 87 HI -87 81 OATS. Sept. 115 Dec, 1 10 1 15 1 20 BARLEY. Spt 1-10 Dec 1.12 1.10 1.12 V PRUNE MARKET 13 VERT FIRM. Serious Shortage ts Reported From Clark County. The new-crop Oregon prune market la quoted firm on a 31-cent bag basis. Soma rales were made early in the season as low as a 2 -cent basis, hut that was before the crop situation could be clearly foreseen. Business covering three carloads of 190H Oregon Italians for October shipment waa reported yesterday for account of a Boston buyer. The sales were made on the basis of .I1 cents for the four sixes, f. o. b. In hags, and the business Is said to have been done on the term at the California packers' contract. A similar bid on a further lot of two carloads waa refused. It Is said that holders are asking a premium of cent on 3s and In some Instances a little pre mium la asked on Os. No huslness of Importance between grow ers and packera la reported yet as growers are holding olf to aee what the outcome will be. According to an authority on prunes, the crop of Clark County la a practical failure this year. "Early In the season." ha said. "It looked like a third of a crop. Now they will not have 25 cara to ship, so heavy has been the drop. Last year the county had a fair crop and aent out about 225 cara "Oregon U faring better than Washington. Around Roseburg there will be a very good crop though half of It la Petites. In the Salem district the drop Is reported to be no greater than usual, and if that la the case there will be about a half a crop In the Valley." In California, as In Oregon, the tendency on prune prices Is upward. Discussing the situation, a California writer says: "Growers see the prune crop becoming lighter week by week. The tone of the mar ket has gradually strengthened and la very firm at present. An estimate now placea the coming yield at no more than e0.000.000 pounds. Future trading ta taking place freely at a 3r4c range, with a premium of lc on 40s and lHc on 30a. Spot rales of the fast decreasing lets of old prunes are being transacted at the trifle hardened range of 3K63HC." CANTALOUPES FROM THE DALLES Very Few Care of Watermelons Are In Transit to Portland. Among the fruit receipts yesterday was a car of Eloerta peacbea and seedless grapes. The Elbertas sold at $161.10 and the grapes were quoted at $1.35 61.50. Two cars of peaches and pears and a car of lemons will be unloaded this morning. Watermelons are cleaning up well' and very few cara are rolling. Some cantaloupes are coming from The Dalles and offer at S2.50tf2.75. A mixed car of casabaa and Klechly sweet watermelons arrived. A small shipment of sweet potatoes cams in and was quoted at 7 cents. A California wire aald the weather there la too hot for sweets. . There la a temporary scarcity of new potatoes on the street. T.CAiH BEGIN TO ACCUMULATE. Extra Are Finn at 25c, bat Firsta Are Lower. The poultry market waa dull yesterday and showed further weakness. For hens. 12 cents was the top price quoted and Springs went at It. with a few fancy lots bringing 15 cents. Other kinds dragged. Eggs are beginning to accumulate.

RESUME THE CLIMB Upward Movement Again Under Way in Stocks. LARGER OUTSIDE DEMAND Assurance of Better Times In Busi ness World Is Underlying Basis of Strength of Market. NEW TORK, Aug. 4 Whatever misgiv ings were felt yesterday over the speculative situation were laid aside today and opera tions for higher prices of stock were re sumed with a volume and aggressiveness that argued the possesalon of the largest, resource and a,' feeling of unbounded con fidence. Commission houses admit but a moderate, although a growing, increase In the outside participation In the market. The great concentration of the dealing was shown by the large orders coming from In dividual houses and also by more or less congestion In single stocks. The grain markets were omewhat less excited today. This was the only marked change in the situation from yesterday. News regarding the crop continued to show unfavorable weather conditions In the corn and Spring wheat belts. The weekly bulletin of the weather bureau gave official con firmation to the existence of these condi tions up to last night, and the official, weather map this morning showed no ma terial subsidence of the drouth and heat In the districts where they are most feared. The wires brought further reports also from private experts alleging heavy damage to the yield. The Bprlng wheat grangera were among the strongest slocks In the list. Destructive forest fires were reported to be sweeping uniterruptedly over a region of British Columbia, and . employes of the Canadian pacific were ordered out on strike. Further remark of E. H. Harrlman were offered for consideration and the specula tive contingent seemed to derive more suste nance from them than from yesterday's statements. Mr. Harrlman's expressed opinion of the speculative situation and of a belief that the advance will continue "As long as condition continue natural and as long as the people are normal," was ac cepted In the stock market as specific ap proval of the movement for higher price. Probably the outgiving was responsible for an Important part of the new activity In the market. Assurance of prolonged ease of money, be lief that prosperous harvest will be made and' the restoration of business activity, which i thu expected to be stimulated, form the general basis for a movement which seems proof against the usual rules of pause and reaction which govern such movements. Many stocks touched the highest prices yet reached this year. Bonds were firm. Total sales, par value, $3,312,000. United State bonds were un changed on call. CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS. Closing Open.

The wheel market was Inclined to be weak all day, although Indi vidual mild rallies occurred on buying by shorts based on freeh reports of damage to the growing crop In the Northwest, but many traders were disposed to discount to a large extent the numerous damage reports. The market was depressed by a report that from a mlecroscoplc examination of 100 sample of wheat taken from widely-separated sec tions of the Northwest only Isolated traces of rust were shown and In each case the grain was too far advanced to be injured by future developments of the blight. The failure of the export market after three days to re spond fully to the advance tended to weaken the local market. The close was weak. Sep tember opened 0o lower at 3c to 94c. sold off. to 93c and closed at 935j-93,Sc. The corn market was weak all day. owing to free selling by local holders.

During the past ten days the fish have been coming fairly well, but, with the exception of last Saturday at the Union Fishermen's Co-operative cannory. there has not been a single plant which was unable to clean up US floors every day. On Friday night some of the Co-operative glllnetters made good hauls in the south channel, and the cannery crew was compelled to work until 11 o'clock at night to clean up. There has been no surplus of ttsh at any cannery, and the only effort, so far as can be ascertained by any up-river cannerymaii to buy raw fish here, was on Saturday, when Mr. Seufert, of The Dalles, told Man ager Kankkonen, of the Co-operative can nery, he wanted 30 tons a day. and offered to pay the price the fishermen receive, which Is 5 cents per pound, less the cost of handling, the cost of Icing and the freight to The Dalles. The offer was not considered seriously, but Mr. Kankkonen replied that if his can nery should get more flah than It can han dle, he would give Mr. Seufert a -nance to buy them. a Hope at London.

As a refutation of the axiom that no human being can live without a brain, the physicians of Bellevue Hospital are citing the case af Marie Glacomo, who died at the Institu tion last night at the age of 40 hours. An autopsy revealed the fact that she had come Into the world , practically brainless. The child when Seven hours old was taken to the hospital by its father. Leonardo Glacomo. He said he had brought the child for treatment be cause there was something wrong with its head. When the child was unwrapped from voluminous clothes lt was almost a startling sight. Its head was almost flat on top and Us eyes stood out from their Bockets. It was. however, breathing nor mally and cried as an ordinary infant does. Unlike most Infants less than a day old. It took nourishment greedily. It was thought at the hospital that the shape of the child's head was a malfor mation that possibly the soft bones of the skull would respond to a slow mould ing process that would restore the head to a normal shape. It was not dreamed that the Infant was wholly without brains. Last night, however, the child died while it was being fed. There was noth ing to indicate approaching death and no struggle. Simply the infant ceased to breathe. An autoDsv revealed that be yond a rudimentary cerebrum, that was ) aswas sst4w M. r v- M. J. ROCHE, C. T. A., 14S Sd St. Maui 4u-s a iiufi. scarcely more than an atom, the infant had absolutely no brain. The doctors declare there Is not another case of a human living without a brain known to science. Since the unification of the Wesley Broth erhood and the Brotherhood of St. Paul In the Methodist church, which hrought 1500 societies together, the membership, which was 150.000 at the time of the union, hss taken a rapid stride forward.
