After purchasing a quantity of wool from Burnt River, Miles Lee, the veteran wool buyer, stated It was the best he had seen this year, says the Baker City Herald. Mr. Chamberlain was one of the sellers. His daughter. Miss Edith, had 18 sheep, which might be considered an unlucky number, hut In this case It was not. The lambs and wool from the small band netted the young lady 10.40 a head. Mr. Whitehead, another Burnt River rancher, had 125 aheeo and he received the same amount of profit per head from each sheep In his band. "Wool la coming In rapidly now," said Mr. Lee. -and I think by July 1 It will practically be all marketed. It Is the best thla year that I have ever seen and weighs well. Burnt River people are entering the sheep business more extensively than here tofore, due to Its proving more profitable than cattle. Lambs fleeces thla year aver age about 9 pounds and ewe fleeces about 10 pounds. ATfOTHER 15-CHNT HOP CONTRACT. Crop Conditions tn Now York State and In Europe. Another 15-cent hop deal was reported yesterday, the quantity contracted being 15.000 pounds, and tha seller a Salem grower. The latest issue of the New York Journal of Commerce says: "Cable advices from Europe report vermin till prevalent In England. One correspond ent's estimate for the English crop Is 340. f00 cwt, aa compared with 470,000 owt. In J9C8. Oermany and the Continent, acord lng to present Indications, will be one-third short of lost year's yield.

M. Usher's growth at 13 oenta. As reported last Tuesday the 20-cent option on some 1909 growths expired with that date, and according to w. L. Terhune, representing the buyers, several growers made contracts at that time. The)r names, however, we are unable to give. Hot, sultry weather has taken the place of the cold, windy weather of last week and the vines are ahowlng the effect of the change. WATERMELON'S ARE ON THE WAT. Several Cars Coming to Port lam d From California. The watermelon shipping season has started In California, about a week earlier than usual.

Better Demand for Poultry. The poultry market wa firmer yesterday.

STOCK TRADE IDLE Practically No' Movement in New York Market. LITTLE CHANGE IN PRICES Xo Disturbance in the Money Market Expected to Result From the July Settlements Ex port of Gold. NEW TORK, June 28. The period around July 1 Is one. traditionally, of quiet stock trading. This normal tendency was em phasized today by several additional clr oumstances which oomblned to throw the market Into a state of stag-nation not ap proached for many months. After tn first hour the market was practically Idle. Opening; prices showed Insignificant changes from last week's closing. Slight fractional advanoes In Union Paolno and Reading had the most influence on the speculative senti ment. Room traders curtailed their opera tions greatly and fluctuations were, in con sequence, of little Importance. The mar ket closed Irregular and almost lifeless. Confidence Is unimpaired that the July money settlements will offer no factor of disturbance and money markets remained In the soft and yielding stae that faas characterized them for some time past. Engagement of 82,000,000 gold today for shipment to Europe was In spite oC-e show of growing abundance of money In foreign markets, which lowered the discount rate today both In London and Berlin. The ship ments of gold going on from New Tork are a measure of relief from a plethoric money market, due to the excess of the Inflow of money from the Interior over the outgo by gold exports, the amount of the latter since the first of January having risen slightly over 860,000,000, while the excess of receipts from the interior over shipments in that time is estimated at no less than 8100,000,000. Bonds were steady. Total sales, value, 84, 647.000. United States bonds were un changed on call. CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS. Closing Bales. High. Low. Bid.
