fHE MORNING OEEGONIAN, TUESDAY, MAY lO. 1910. LOCAL ILLS BUY Pay More for Valley Wools Than Eastern Dealers. ONLY WANT FINE GRADES Coarse 'Wools Are Xot Wanted at the Present Time -Lack of In terest Shown in Eastern Oregon; Clips. Buyers are operating very slowly in Wil lamette Valley wools, particularly the Eastern buyers. The local mills are mak ing some bids and are offering- batter prices than the Eastern trade will pay, but not much wool has changed hands to date. The demand is chiefly lor mediums, for which 20 cents Is bid. Coarse grades will be taken on tha basis of 18 cents delivered at Portland, but the demand for them Is far from keen. The percentage of coarse wools In the Valley is Increasing every year and tt Is a problem. In the trade how to handle them In the face of th poor Eastern inquiry. It Is said that a con siderable quantity of last year's coarse Val ley wools axe still unsold In. Boston. . They were taken at a price 4 td 5 cents a.bovs what they could be sold for now. The market East of the mountains is still inactive. A number of buyers are on the ground, but their views and those of the growers are too far apart to permit of busi ness. The usual talk of a buyers combine has been started In the Eastern Oregon wool towns and the agitation will doubtless -be kopt up until the market opens. One of the largest wool growers of Idaho A. J, Ko!Hn. is quoted in a Chicago wool paper as offering the following advice to growers: Growers should carefully consider foreign wool market conditions before accepting lower prices for their crops Foreign mar kets are active at the highest prices of the year and home market conditions are not warranted .except th e.uph causes en tirely due to domestic Influences. Certainly the new clip will not exceed consumptive demands, as we will bo compelled to im port wool for a number of years to come. Strike threat and rumors of tariff re vision may have been depressing Influences and there ana doubtless many who are honest in the belief that prices of woolen goods In this country are too high to the consumer. My advice is to store wool and not make concessions to the dealer that are of a sacrificial nature. It is going to be a long-drawn struggle this yeacand dealers show a decided disposition to clsan up old stocks before starting out. Shearing Is now general in Morrow Coun ty, two or three machine plants besides some hand crews being engaged. Owing to the splendid range during the Spring months the clip has an extra flue staple and will probably weigh above the average. The first load of wool to come to Condon this season was brought In last Monday by A. Grelner. The entire load was of the finest quality. Shearing Is in progress in all th sheep camps In the country south of that point. Shearing In Owyhee County, Idaho, has now started, and the prospects for a large clip are good. George Lewis, an Owyhee grower and owner of a. .large band of sheep that has Just finished lam-b-injc. reports an Increase of over 100 per cent. IXKAfc GRAIN MARKETS ARE QCIET.

Th-ere Is a fair local demand for hides. but no improvement In prices. Testerday's advices from the Bast showed the markets there were no better and while the prices being paid locally are not warranted by the Eastern level, yet the dealers here figure that the markets will show no early change and consequently "have not altered their quotations. Dry pdlts are easier in sympathy with th e wea k wool marke t. Dealers are offe r lng ltiS'lS cents delivered at Portland, according to quality. Heavy and sanded pelts are worth less. BETTER EASTERN PKMAD FOR HOPS. Blarket Is Steadier Than It Him Been at All Coast Points. The Eastern Inquiry for hops Is better than tt has been for weeks and because-of the demand the market Is much steadier. Most of the Kastem orders, however, call for good, goods at a price at whch only poor hops can be bought. Consequently, not much business la passing. Holders of the heat grades show the same firmness they did early In the season. . There are now left in Orepon 1S.SO0 bales of last year's crop. Washington has 750 boles left and California growers hold 4600 bales. Advices from California yesterday were that 14 h and 15 cents was offered, for Sonoma, with no sellers. BAX SmWBERRIKti ARE COXDEStXED. Inspector dets Busy With California Fmtt More iold Dollars In. The strawberry market was overstocked with poor California fruit. There was a large stock carried over from Saturday and liberal receipts Sunday and Monday. A good part of these offerings were unmarket able and many crates of Jessies were ; con demned by men from the Food Commission er's office. The top on California berries was $1-25 a crate and many lots went as low as 50 cents a crate. Fifteen crates of Gold Dollars came In rom Rax; and sold at $4 crat. spcin- brook will .begin shipping- Wednesday or Thursday and by Saturday the movement of theae fine, bewies to market win be on In full swing-. The first box of Clark Seedlings from the Mount Tabor section was received yesterday. PLENTY OF RAX AN AS. THIS WEEK-. Ten or Eleven Cars Will Arrive and Mar ket May Break. It will be mirprteing if the banana market does not break badly this week. One car came In yesterday and nine or ten more will arrive before the end of the week. As the nor mal requirements of the market are only four or five cars a week, the dealers will find some difficulty in getting rid of the surplus. Among yesterday's receipts were two cars of oranges, one car of lemons, two cars of cabbage, two cars of Bermuda onions and one car of Florida tomatoes, the last of the season. Tfne steamer brought up only a light assortment of California vegetables. Bermuda onions were in heavy supply arrd weak, although the California market is strong. Shipments north may end this week. Several shipments of new red onions are on the way. Asparagus was weak, local stock selling at 75 cents to $1 a dozen. Other vege tables were unchanged. BUTTER PRODUCTION IS LARGE. Demand Is Sufficient to Take Tip AU tfee Offerings. Sutter production. Is heiavy and near the maximum, but there has been a good-demand far for all of it. However, dealers be lieve that prices could not be maintained but for the fact that Seattle holds above a parity with Portland. Cheese eells readily at quo tations. The egg market dragged. Receipts were light, but sufficient. Poultry was unchanged. Dressed meats were weak. Bank Clearings. Bank clearings of the Northwestern- cities yesterday were as follows: Clearings. Balances.

The Karris Trust & Savings Bank, 204 Dearborn street, Chicago, has is sued a booklet entitled "Bonds fo Bald Investment, intended for the use of persons planning- to invest in bonds for the first time. Its aim Is to ex plain in simple teroi3 the purpose o various classes of bonds, and to indi cate the value of bonds as safe invest ments for individuals, as well as insti tutions Copies Ireo upon re quests HEAVY RUN OF STOCK Arrivals Over Sunday at the Yards Are Large, MARKET IN STEADY SHAPE Most of the Cattle Received. Were for Contract Delivery Sheep Sent on to I 11 get Sound Points. There were heavy arrivals of livestock at the Union ' Stockyards over Sunday. Most of the cattle coming from California were con tract cattle, while about half of the sheep received went on to the fkvund. Consequently the yard sales were not as numerous as they won Id otherwise have been. The general condition of the market was steady. A large bunch of lambs brought $8, while wes sold at $5, The beet sheep coming on the market now are from Cali fornia, but there will be plenty of good East ern Oregon aheep later. Lambs from those sections1 will very soon be on the market and there will be plenty of them. The best hogs offered during the day brought $10.00 and another email lot realized $10. KN. The hog market is holding up well in all sections of the country and there is not likely to be much recesssion from present prices art any time during the coming Sum mer. In Southern Idaho the farmers have re sumed the feeding of wheat to hogs. Wheat prives have dropped SO cents a bushel from the high Winter level and the farmers find It more profitable to turn the wheat Into pork than to sell the grain. Beyond the sale of a good bunch of steers at $6, there was not much doing in the cattle trade during the day Oregon cattle are now between feeding and grass. A good many California grassera are commg up, but it will be some time before such stock Is available east of the mountains. Their advent will mean easier cattle prices. Reports from east of the mountains are that the grass crop 1s coming on fine. It will be somewhat earlier than usual and promises to be abun dant. Receipts for the two d-ays were 163 cattle, 2369 sJjeep, 769 hogs and 2 horses. Shippers of stock were Henry Larkln. of Endicott, Wash., 1 car of cattle and hogs, Henlina & Ohlinger. 8 cars of hogs from Ne braska points; Ed Selemota of Woodland, Cal, 4 cars of sheep; HI W.

Wall-Street Opinion Is Also Favor ably Influenced by the Goyern ment Crop Report. NEW YORK, Slay 9. The stock market went through ninny variation, of speculatu temper today and showed a feeling of hesita tion In the retention of any of It, moods until the firmness of the final advance. Business in London had got well under way before the onenlns; -here, giving; time to demon- strate the feeling of confidence there In the ability tl resist tbe depression of til a. Kins of England's death. This was due partly to the ODlnlon former over the tounday interval that something like a truce would be edopted in the bitter political contest being waged over leg islative Questions affecting the British govern ment. A postponement. It was felt, would do. much, to bring security to the financial markets. Large Importance was attached to the gov. eminent report on tne Alajr condition wheat crops as a factor in shaping opinions. The first reaction in stocks from the reflected Londoa strength was due to advance fears of a poor report. belling by w estera w houses on that account wiped out about &U the opening gains. Qulcs: ehanges followed the actual publication. " Great Importance was attached to the April Improvement in condition reported, in view of rhe dangerous weather conditions w-hich have existed. The propitious planting con dltions for Spring wheat also, as well as th opportunity for replanting of abandoned tVIn ter wheat ' acreage and subsequent improve ment of the crop before harvest, inclined to a favorable speculative view of the outlook- lin spite at ih decrease, -of About 8.000(000 bushels in the present Indicated yield of Win ter wneat compared with the actual crop last year. Contrary movements were shown in some prominent individual stocks. St. Paul suffered from the withholding of definite official an nouncement of the bond sale in Parian the re sult being to arouse a fear of hitch in the business. Southern Pacific, on the other hand, was aggressively strone from the re vival of reports of an intended extra distribu tion to stockholders of -the oil assets of the company. The unfavorable couoer statistics for April had been abundantly foreseen and there was a disposition to look on them as past in fluences. Reports of some recent large sales of the metal at price concessions were of more errect. 1 he strong tone of Amalgamated Copper was an -influence In the late rallying in the whole market. Bonds were irregular. Total sales. par value. $2,001,000. United States Jxmds1 were unchanged on call. CLOSINX3 STOCK QUOTATIONS. Closing Sales. High. Low.

CHICAGO SPECULATORS ARE IX)OLED. Looked for a Bullish Instead of a Bearish Crop Reprt. CHICAGO, May . Wheat speculators were badly fooled todaj' in their guesses regarding the Government crop report. The crowd in general expected a more bullish percentage. Attention, was chiefly centered on the zigures as to condition, 82, which were a radical surprise. It was supposed the April condition, bu.8, would-be lowered, not raised. A break: pf 2c from the top price on the September option ensued, but the close was steady at a net loss of lc. May suffered only He Corn finished up to Vc down, oats closed g c lower and pro visions 2Vs&Gc to SOc higher. Until the publication of the Government report, wheat ranged in a narrow trend, ex cept May, wbich, on covering by shorta, reached the highest price this season, $1.164. The Government crop report, how ever, overbalanced all else as a I actor and caused many who were early buyers to turn sellers. In fact, tbe pit, almost to a man, seemed bent on pounalng down prices. The present indicated crop report was figured at 417,000.000 bushels, against 404.0u0,0o0 indicated in May last year. The September option sold between ? 1.01 1.03Vsh closing at l.oi?4L0114.
