THE MORNING OREGOXIAX. THT7RSDAT, JUNE 3, 1909. DECLINE IN CHEESE With Large Shipments Coming, Market Takes Drop. SHORTAGE THING OF PAST While Oregon Manufacturers Were Holding Prices T7pf Seattle Buy ers Tioaded Vp With Kastern Product. Thb price of Tillamook cheese took a. harp drop yesterday, distributors quot ing twin at 15H19 eenuti. The. present local aupply Is not large, but a rood-sized shipment la due oa the boat Saturdy and another larger lot la due Monday. Unllka pre-vioua shipments, there are not enough orders booked ahead to take care of all the Incoming supply. The weakness was caused principally by the withdrawal of Seattle buyers from this market. Several cars of Eastern chAe recently reached the Puget Sound markets and for some time to com there may not Ve much Inquiry from the north for the Oregon article. Had the manufacturers in this state lowered their prices sooner, they might have kept out these Kastern ship ments. The butter market continues fairly steady. Production now does not exceed the de mand and supplies clean up well each day. Prices m the north are still above Portland, but there Is likely to be a decline there at any time, which may bring down local values. Creamery men here would like to a lower level established so that storage operations may he commenced. It Is the opinion of butter men that rela tively high prices will prevail In the Bast this season. Zn the big butter-making; sec tions the market continues to show a strong tone. Some of this strength Is believed to be due to the free buying; by the oleo margarine makers, who are using butter of current make for coloring the artificial article. CONDITION OF TUB FLOUR MARKET. No Talk By Millers of Any Early Advance. There Is no talk on the part of millers of an advance in flour prices In the near future, though jobbers are predicting a rise, and some of the flour makers are de cidedly averse to putting any further burden on consumers. No business of importance was reported In the grain market yesterday. Oats advanced at San Francisco, but prices here are too hlRh to permit of shipments being made to the south. Consul-General William H. Michael, of Calcutta, writes, under date of March 20 an folic ws In regard to the last memorandum of the Government on the 1908-0 wheat crop In India, which deals with 90. T per cent of the total wheat area: The report discusses mainly acreage, as the estimates of yield have not yet been made up. The total area sown Is now re ported to be 25.685,300 acres, compared with the 2t.075.8OO acres of last year and with the 27,063.000 acres forming the average of the Ave years ending 000-7. As com pared with last year, there Is, therefore, an Increase of 4,800.400 acres, or 10.9 per cent, whereas the acreage still rails short of the older average by 1.O78.T0O acres. On the whole, the condition of the crop is reported to be satisfactory, but the unlrrl gated crop In the United Provinces Is said to be poor, and In many places more rainfall was great ly needed at the time of making the re nort. Local receipts. In cars, were reported by the Merchants Kxchange as follows: Wheat Barley Flour Oats Hay May 29-ft0-8l.. . 8 1 29 S 2 June 1 2 8 4 14 Total last week. 24 5 So 18 68 BEKRIE3 ARE BECOMING PIJSNTTFTT!. Market Should Be Heavily Supplied Today. Csmtadoupes Mere. Strawberry receipts yesterday were large and If the weather continues favorable, as seems likely, the market will be flooded with berries today and tomorrow. Xocal fruit ts coming In more freely, some fairly large lota being received from Mt. Tabor and Clackamas County. Prices naturally were lower yesterday. Rood Rivers sold up to $3.T54 per orate, but other Oregon berries moved at S2g 3. California berries were also plentiful and good stock sold around $1 1.25, but some poor lots went as low as 20 cents. The first cantaloupes of the season were received by Page A Son from Brawl ey, Cal. There were two crates of them and they sold at $5 a crate. SMALL HOP CONTRACTS MADE. Twelve-Cent Market Firmly Established In This State, Several small hop contracts have been made In Oregon in the past few days at 12 cent a A number of dealers have or ders at this price and a considerable business could be done If there were enough sellers or If yards could he found where a full specified delivery could be guaranteed. A large contract was written In the Chehahs section yesterday at 114; cents. A San Francisco letter states that 2250 bales of California hops were lost In the Port Costa dock Are. Overrmpply of Chickens. Poultry receipts were again very heavy yesterday. More hens came In than could be well handled. An effort was made to hold the market at 15 cents, but it was necessary to shade prices sharply to move them, and sales were made late In the day as low as 13 cents. The epg market was dull. Receipts were light and prices were unchanged. Bank Clearings. clearings of the Northwestern cities yes terday were as follows: Clearings. Balances.

READING UNDER PRESSURE Listing of Steel Shares on. the' Paris Bourse the Sensation of For eign Exchanges - Gold Goes to France. JfHW YORK" Tl.r,. 9 ' rae advancing; tendency of prices today al though ri . . ... i. sue mantel was still maintained. Rartln -.i.iw - j , i uiwr ;I-f.rs and tha appearance of some lmpor- , mac stocK was of actable sympathetic effect on the whole list. Another center of strong sentimental in fluence was United States Steel, In which tbs recent persistent and prolonged advance gave way to a reaction of a point. Its upward rush to 67 y. in the anal hour had a strong restorative effect on the whole list. Foreign securities markets seemed to wake up for the nrst time to the Importance of the listing of the United States Steel shares on the Paris Bourse and this topic was the sensation of the Paris. Berlin and In soma degree the London markets. There was lacking any de tailed description of the process to be fol lowed la the Paris operations, but tha Inter vention of a syndicate or trust to act as a holding company in France for a block of X-nlted States Steel and to issue against this holding Its own certificates was assumed to t the course Intended, such certlflcatea serv ing as tha medium of operations in the Paris market rather than the corporation shares themselves. Aside from the strong sentimental In fluence on the value of the stock of this im portant new departure, this method of op erating In the new Held would have Involved an Important accumulation of the actual holdings of the stock. When the stock start ed upwards to a new high mark its strong sentimental Influence was asserted in the re covery in the whole list. The activity of the Atchison issues in face of the announcement of the Atchison converti ble bond issue was regarded as rather sug gestive. The stock and the older convertible Issues ran off. although -the subscription privilege at $104 for the new bonds repre sents valuable lights for the stock, baaed on the ruling price for the older convertible Is sues. Estimates of private experts were taken as foreshadowing a poor showing In the Govern ment report of crop conditions, looked tor next week. The rise In copper did not prevent the ccp per industrials from figuring conspicuously In the early reactionary movement. The en gagement of $1,000,000 In gold for export to Franoe was not much heeded, the plethorio conditions of tha local money market be 03 as much feared as It is approved. Bonds were heavy. Total sales, par value, $4,680,000. United States bonds were un changed on call. CLOSING- STOCK QUOTATIONS. Closing . Bid. . Sales. High.

CHICAGO, June t A new high mark for the July delivery was established In wheat today when the price touched $1.20 per bushel, which la a gain of o compared with the previous high point. The market closed Arm at net gains of GHc to Tc Extreme bullishness prevailed in the wheat pit during the .early part of the day. but in the final half of the session much of the buoyancy was lost, and prices at tho olose were from Ho to c below, the opening figures. The demand at the start was based, on oulllsh foreign advloes, advances at all the leading European grain centers and wet weather In Texas, which may delay harvest ing. Toward the middle of the session offerings became more liberal. As a result of this profit-taking the July delivery sold off from $1.20 to $1.11.19 and the more dis tant futures declined about lc from the high point. . The market rallied again, however, on buying by shorts and closed firm, with July at $1.18. Corn scored a sharp advance early on buy ing of the July delivery by shorts, . but lost part of the gain later, because of liberal realizing sales. July sold between 71 c and 72 c The market closed firm with prices up o to c, compared with yesterday's final figures, July being at 7172o. Oats were firm, but th-e market waa less buoyant than either wheat or corn. The market closed steady with prices a shade to c higher than yesterday's final quotations, July being at 58E3c. Provisions closed steady with prices un changed to 10o higher, compared with the previous close. WHEAT. Open. High. Low.
