SEASON IS NEAR END
Present Month Will See Last of
Grain Trading.
SUPPLY ALMOST GONE
Prices Show but Little Fluctuation,
Notwithstanding Changes in the
Other Markets Demand
for Fruit Improving.
The end of the present month will prob
ably see the close of the grain season, as it
bt not likely that any wheat will be left
ifter that time. Very little la now changing
bands, yet the movement U sufficient to ex
haust the small quantity remaining- in the
next three weeks. Price have ah own but
little fluctuation In the paet month. Club
rhe&t is selling around $120, while $1.35
wa paid yerterday for blue stem. The prin
cipal inquiry now Is from California, and
that state im counted on to take the re
mainder of the wheat left In this vectlon.
Barley is firm under a good demand and very
light offerings. May barley was higher at
Pan Francisco yesterday. All the May bar
ley In California is now held by one dealer.
The oats m ark e t le st e d y at the prices
that have prevailed for th last two weeks.
There Is some talk of a probable advance
In flour, but this will depend on the course
of wheat prices.
Local receipts, in cars, were reported by
the Merchants Exchange yesterday as fol

WOOL CONTRACT'S AT GOOD PRICES.
Ptrong Demand Cannes Montana Growers
to Ask 25 cents.
Wool contracting la st ill under way In
Montana and Wyoming. In Montana con
tracts at 1 to 23 cents are quite common,
while cents and even 2M" cents is said
to have been touched within a few dayt. A
prominent Boston house offered 24 cents per
pound for a good-sized Montana clip, but the
Md wno turned down. About 100.000 pounds
were bought on contract in the same section of
the state at 23 i cents. . Growers are now
tioMIng their cllpa at 25 cents, and they be
lieve that they will get that figure before
ttic pensnn is ended. It is said that a large
part of the clip ban already been disposed of.
before shesrlng, but It is difficult to estimate
accurately the amount of wool taken to date.
I.at year the clip was approximately 32,
OOO.OOO pounds, but on account of the fewer
nales of lambs during the past season there
may possibly be a greater quantity of wool
received this year. It seems safe to say
that probably 25.00O.000 pounds have been
engaged on the sheep's back.
In Wyoming a Chicago operator bought
about 1T6.000 pounds of new wool at 2Z
cents, a price that set the pace for the other
operators. Other transactions are taking
place on a basts of 20 to 22 cents.
Bi'Yrxo rp join day wool
Dealers Take Advantage of Canceling of
Baker City Hales Date.
PRAIRIE CITY, Or., May 6. (Special.)
Owing to the fact that the wool sales date
has been abandoned at Baker City, woolbuyers
are now traveling through the country buy
ing up wool. Mr. Lee, the well known Bos
ton buyer. Is making a flying trip through
the John Day Valley and buying the wool
that would have been sent to Baker City
for sale. The wwool Is In fairly good eon
dltlon and Is bringing on the average, 3,9
cents.
The canceling of the Baker City date
Is working a hardship on the wool growers
here, aa It necessitates a gneater haul to
Rhanlko. Mr. Lee evidently recognizes .this
fact and has contracted for a large part
of the Spring clip at a figure that will ba
a benefit both to his firm and the grower.
POTATO SHORTAGE NEAR AT HAND
Ksuvtrra Stock May Be Brought In to Snp-
- ply Isocal Needs.
Thera were- no changes yesterday In the
potato market. A few more cars of good
stock have been bought at $2, but most of
the farmers who have any potatoes left
want $2.50. It Is believed that not over 25
cars of potatoes are unsold ir i, the state
and that not to exceed 12. cars remain In
all hands. No one can figure exactly what
cart of this supply will be sent to California,
but aa the Pan Francisco market la a
vanclng rapidly, it is not unlikely that the
quantity sent south will leave the local
market short of needed supplies.
The prediction made by a' well-known
dealer some time asro that Eastern potatoes
would be seen in this market may yet be
verified. The San Francisco quotation on
Oregon Burbanks yesterday was $2.33 2. 70.
POrtTRT PRICES ARE WEAKENING.
With Larger Receipt, Lower Quotation!
May lie Made.
The poultry market still shows weakness,
even at the late decline in prices. The sup
ply of chickens is steadily Increasing and a
still further lowering of values Is looked for.
Ecrs hold very steady. Candled eggs are
moving readily at 25 cents, with sales o
case count at 24 and 24 '4 cents.
The city creameries report a steady but
ter market, but the supply of outside cream
ery on Front street is heavy and It requires
some effort to keep down an accumulation.
Strawberries la Good Supply.
Oregon strawberries were more plentiful
yesterday and dropped to 15 cents per
pound. Higher prices would have been ob
tained, had the fruit been of better quality.
California berries were plentiful and sold
well. Florins brought $l$fl.50 per crate for
Jessies and $1.73 forIoilars. Cherries were
slow sale at $1.75 per crate.
Three-Year Hop Contract piled.
OREGON CITY, Or., May 6. (Special.)
Grant Graves has contracted to sell 15.0OO
pounds of hops to Frank r. Miller. Th
price for the 1000 crop of SO00 pounds Is 10
cents; ror me same amount next year 104
cents, and for the Ull crop of 5000 pounds,
11 cents.

UZZLE TO TRADERS
Manipulation of Many of the
Minor Stocks.
ADVANCES ARE SUDDEN
General List Responds to tbe Rise In
the Specialties Warm Weather
West Arouses Hope of
Crop Improvement.
NEW TORK. May 6. The professional
traders In stocks were puzzled to know what
was rotas on In the market today under
cover of the shipping; movements In a
cumber of stocks of the lower class. Atten
tion was given to some of the Industrial
stocks and sudden advances Were made in
a great ' variety of these, some of which
have not appeared In the tape records for
a long time previously.
The general list. Including the stocks of
the more substantial, class, was also more
responsive to the rise In specialties and
opinion in the board room was that real
ising sales were going on in those stocks.
In continuation of the movement of yester
day. The bulk of today's business, never
theless, was done at a level of prices above
last night. These advances were not marked
at any time and there was a oonstant wav
ering in the price level which redacted the
uncertain tone of the speculation.
Discounts were easier In London and
Paris, in spite of the weaker condition of the
Bank of England. Foreign exchange here
was unchanged.
Warmer weather in the West encouraged
hopes of rapid growth of the grain crops,
for which conditions are reported to be ripe.
la spite of the backward season.
Bonds were strong. Total sales, par value.
97,030.000. United States bonds were un

Tnarket closed .strong, with. July at $1.1T
1.17 and May at $1.28.

and July to 70c, which are new high marks
for the crop. There was a good demand,
which was basecu largely on small receipts.
