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.

HIDES ARE IX FAIR DEMAND
I'elts Are fasier in Sympathy With, the
w eaker W ool Market.
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.

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. King, of Or land, Cal.

STOCKS FIRM AT CLOSE
COXnDEXCE IX THE EGLISH
MAKICET IS RESTORED.
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.

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

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.
