No Wholesale Business Will Be
bone This Afternoon.
GOOD DEMAND FOR FRUIT
Strawberries Are Not So Plentiful
and Sell at Better Prices.
Straight Car of Apricots
Due Tuesday.
Today will be a halt-holiday In the whole
sale district In honor of the Rose Festival.
The produce houses and the wholesale
grocers will close their doors at. noon.
The fruit market was active throughout
the day. Strawberries were not in such
h eavy su pp 1 y as on Tu esd ay, and s ol d at
better prices. "While the price at the early
market was $10 1.40 per crate, Front street
quotations ranged from $1.50 to $2. Soft
berries sold at $1.50. Wilsons at $1.75 and
Clark Seedlings at $3.
The general tendency In prices on other
fruits was downward. Raspberries were
quoted at $1 blackberries at 75o3$ U and
loganberries at 75 cent. Cherries were In
fair demand. Royal Annes bringing $1-85
and good blacks $1.25. A mixed car of
cherries and Phenomenal berries, a sort of
loganberry, will arrive from California to
day, but as the markets will be closed, will
probably be sent on to Seattle. A straight
car of -apricots la due Tuesday.
There was a small assortment of vege
tables on the steamer. A car of Mississippi
tomatoes arrived last night.
ATX KINDS OF HOPS IX DEMAND,
Rumors That Cannot Be Verified of 1ft-
Cent Offers for New Crop.
Hops of ail kinds are wanted, the new
crop, last year's crop and olds being In de
mand. Offers of V and 10 cents were made
for llC8e and there were buyers of lBOTe at
4 cento and better. Aside from some small
transactions In olds. It is not believed that
any actual business was accomplished.
Interest naturally centers la the coming
crop. There were persistent rumors, which,
however, could not be verified, that 1 5-cent
offers had been made to a number of Inde
pendence grower. The price is not out of
range with market conditions and the offer of
any lower figure to a grower would not ac
complish anything. StUl, the buyers, even
the most optlmletlo ones, hesitate to "spring
the market, although they know the futility of
making any offers.
MOVlMi CARRY-OVER CANNED GOODS
Stmrp Concessions Interest Eastoro Trade
in California Fruit.
As was announced some time ago, a de
termined effort has been made to work oft
the largo carry-over stock of canned goods In
Ca 1 1 rom ta. "With reference to the situation,
a San Francisco mall report says:
"There has been men or less cutting in
prices on Hat prloea as published and of such
a character as to make It Impossible, to learn
how deep the out has bean. At the favoring
prices there have been heavy shipments In
carload lota and more to every distributive
jmlnt In the East. Nearly all the buying was
in assorted lote. It la quite Impossible to
learn the extent of business done further than
that tt Is the largest oa record at this time
of the year, and that the carry-over stocks
are being depleted at a good rate."
BL'TTKR PIUCKS HOLD STEADY.
hharp Decrease In Egg Receipts, but tight
Demand.
The butter market holds Hs own at 26
cents for city creamery, with a good gen
eral demand. Outs1de creamery moves fairly
well. The Northern markets are weak, how
ever, and may bring down prices locally.
though In the East conditions are very
strong, Chicago prices advancing a full cent
yesterday. There was a half cent advance
at Saa Francisco.
Poultry was steady. The demand was not
strong, but all supplies were worked oft.
There Is more Interest shown in the egg
market because of the sharp decrease in re
ceipts. The demand Is still too light to
nave much effect on prices.

of which time more than 20.0O0 head of fine
cattle will have been shipped from this
point. Most of these are young cattle to be
fed upon the ranges of Idaho, Montana and
the Uakotas. After the young cattle are
gone, the shipping of beef cattle for the
packing-houses will begin, and that will
also total an Immense business.

present lime some 1500 head of cattle
awaiting shipment from the yards here,
and they continue to come in steadily every
day. The cattle are nil in fina ,nninn
clean, fat and healthy. The weather this
year has been very favorable to the range,
and smaller loss has been experienced than
for several years past.
Prices are excellent, ranging from $20 to
$22, which Is $2 or 3 hicher than lat
year. Some delay has been experienced with
cattle going Into Montana, on account of the

inspection before cattle can be shipped into
the state. There was no Federal Inspector

RALLY LUTE IN DAY
Sharp Rise in Union Pacific
Saves the Market.
BUT SOUTHERN IS WEAK
Declines Rapidly on Announcement
of Plan to Retire the Preferred
Stock Money Market
Is Firmer.
NEW YORK. June 8. The decisive down.- !
ward turn taken by the nrlce movement nf
stocks Inclined speculative sentiment to take
account of unfavorable factors, but there was
little that was -positively unfavorable In the
news.
The rapid decline in Southm Puctfln unnn
the announcement of the much heralded plan
to retire the preferred stock was taken as an
object lesson of the' extent to which favor
able developments have been discounted in
the peculation. The retirement plan left
the private exchange of preferred for com
mon stock the most attractive for preferred
stock purposes and made It practically cer
tain that It would be followed by all those
stocKnoiaers. Such en exchange. It was
realised, would leave the company's financial
position practically where It Is, as any ear
ing on the present charges would depend upon
the new common stock being kept on a 6 per
cent basis, compared with the 7 per cent paid
on tne preferred to be retired. An lncreaee

showed that on stock purchased at the price
toucned yesterday, which was 135. this return
still would be less than on Union Pacific at
the price with the dividend already prevail
ing on the present stock. It was this com
putation, which involved no aew facts, that
was responsible for the contrary movement

which reached only 100.71 on the. average,
was further cut by sales of the bonds, when
Issued, os the stock exchange as low as 100
The slight rise In the call money rate was
ascribed to the applications for the New York
City bonds, moderate though they were. An
active demand has sprung up for funds on
time and rates are advancing. Discounts also
rose in London and Paris today. The general
money situation, therefore, was shaping it
self quite definitely away from ease.
The aggressive rise in Union Paciflo helped
the late restoration of the price level and re
duced the day's net changes to small propor
tions. -

NEW WHEAT OFFERS
Weaken Prices in the Chicago
Market.
HARVESTING IN MISSOURI
Breaking of tne Drouth in Argentina
and Southern Russia Depress
Foreign, Markets Trad
ing in May.
CHICAGO, June 9. Wheat was nervous
the greater part of the day and the pre
vailing sentiment was one of bearishness.
This heaviness was more noticeable In July
than In the more deferred months and was
due largely to Increased offerings of new
wheat to arrive. Reports from Southeastern
Missouri claimed that . harvesting will be
gin the latter part of this week and In
spired additional sales of the July option,
Liverpool wae a disappointment to the bulla,
the market being barely steady, owing to
reports of general rains In Argentina and
Southern Russia. The breaking of the
drouth In these countries offset the effect
of tb Government crop report of the prev
ious day. First trades In wheat for May
delivery In 1910 were recorded today, the
prices being $1.10 to $1.11. During the
day July ranged between $1.18 and $Llv
and the close was at $1.19
Continued wet weather in the corn belt
was the cause of a substantial advance In
com prices, the market being strong. Re
ports indicated that the new crop was being
delayed by the excessive moisture. The
close was strong, with prices &0 above
yesterday.
Strength of corn and more active ship
ping demand offset favorable weather con'
dltlons for the new crop and. caused a firm
oats market during the last half of the
session. The close .was firm, with prices up
0c to c.
Provisions were "strong all day, owing
. to active demand by Eastern and foreign
shorts. The close showed net gains of 12 o
to 22c
