NO BREAK IN WHEAT
Local Market Firm Regardless
of Changes Elsewhere.
MO CONCESSIONS ARE MADE
IK.lders Convinced That Sharp Ad
vances Are Xear at Hand East
ern Demand for Flour Checked.
Potato Buyers Excited.
There u plenty of Inquiry in the wheat
market yesterday. Buyers hoped,, from the
unsettled conditions In the Bast, "to obtain
concessions here, but In this they failed,
tor sellers showed a firm front and asked
former prices. Holders of wheat express
the belief that the Eastern market has been
manlDulated and that hm'nm , v. .....
reached. Ther believe the advance that la
bow due will carry prices at Chicago higher
wan toia season. No business, in the local
market was reported daring; the day.
Tie Merchants' Ehcchange reported week
ly foreign shipments as follows: Argentine
shipment. 2,960,000 bushels; last week. 2.
24,000 bushel; last year. 2,786.000 bushels.
Australia shipments, 768.000 bushels; last
week. 160.000 bushels; last year, 132,000
bushels. India shipments, 844.O0O bushels:
last week, 188.000 bushels; last year, none.
Barley was In excellent demand and firm,
but the advancing tendency was checked by
the easier tone at San Francisco. Oats
moved readily at 40iAl. The only trad
ing done at S42 so far has been In a small
retail way.
Flour continues firm at the recent ad
vance. The future course of the market
will depend on wheat prices. A further ad
vance would not occasion surprise. Whole
sale grooers report a light Hour movement,
but thla Is to be expected, as the retail
trade and bakers stocked up as well as
they could before the rise. of which they
had ample warning. The Eastern demand
has been checked temporarily.
Receipts, In cars, were reported by the
Merchants' Exchange as followa:

LANE COTJJTTY KRITT PROSPECTS.
Heavy Tleid of West Varieties la Looked
For.
ET'ORNE. Or.. April 2S. (Bpecial.) The
rro.pects for a heavy frutt crop In Lane
County the coming ssasnn are very bright
Some concern was felt for the fruit after- the
rrv,nt frosts, but careful lnqrulry seems to
pr.-ve that little damage has been done to
crons In general. Some few strawberries
were Injured, but ths blooms were not far
enough advanced to oause much Injury, and
grov.FTs say that new blossoms are taking
the place of those affected by frost.
Of the later fruits everything points to
heavy yields with the single exception of ap
ple. The apple crop In Lane will not be as
heavy as last year. The grower, aooount
for this through the fact that last season's
crop was so heavy It would be Impossible to
hsve It repeated this year. Little thinning
Is -done by the apple-grower here, and as a
consequence the trees must get some rest.
Otherwise ths apple outlook Is good.
Pears t re looking fine and a good crop Is
certain If nothing Interferes with the mart
already made. Peaches look well and it
serious lose la reported through the recent
The berries promise a good yield, and while
It la a little early to figure on aims uf the
fruits, a generally large crop of standard
quality la expected by the frult-ralsera.
The farmers are now ready fcr a little
more rain for grains and grasses. The light
salnfall of last night Is of slight benefit. The
fields are a little dry. not, however to the
extent that any loss has been reported cr Is
feared.
ENGLISH HOP TRADE IS DTJLL.
Wilting-for Ooverntnrnt Attitude to Be Made
Plain. -
Oondhtlona in the English bos marker
are shown in trade circulars, bearing datea
of April B to T, aa follows:
Wild. Neame and Co., London Trade con
tinues very dull and the market generally
does not anticipate much alteration In the
situation until something more decided Is
known as to the government's attitude to
wards brewing Interests In their coming
financial proposals.

J. H. Meredith & Co.. Worcester There Is
rery little business passing on the local
market and no growers' hops passed the
publlo scales last week. Good quality Wor
oesters are scarce and there la no pressure

much delayed cutting and other plantation
work; but thla la not considered detrimental
as growth la yery backward.
WO DEC-LUTE IX CHEESE MARKET,
Another Shipment Due Today, Bat It la
Already Sold.
Another fairly large shipment of cheese
will arrive from Tillamook tnrtnv v... .
of It la going through to Seattle, and wia
win be left hers haa already been sold The
mgriet, therefore, holds firm. .
Putter was steady at unchanged prices.
The egg market was quoted firm No
business was reported under 23 H cents
while a number of sales were made at 24
cents. Storing la active and there la also
a good demand from Seattle.
Poultry cleaned up at former prices.
POTATO BUYERS ARE EXCITED.
Payrng T to $1.60 In the Country Short
a It Is Apparent.
Ths sudden advance in the San Fran
cisco potato market to 82.25 for best Ore
gone has caused something of a boom In
the potato trade here. Buyers are out in
force, trying to get possession of the small
remainder of the crop, and are freely pay
ing L60 for such stock aa la worth it.
That there are barely enough potatoea left
to last until the close of the situation, six
weeks hence. Is now apparent.
