AWAIT IDAHO SALES
Wool Auctions Next Week Will
Show Course of Market.
ALL NOW IS UNCERTAIN
Prices Ukely to Be TTnder Last
Year's Hevel, but How Far Xo
One Knows Conditions
in the East.
Wool growers and buyers in Oregon are
waiting with keen interest for the opening-
wool sales in Idaho, the first of which
occur at Mountain Home on May 16 and
at Payetto and "Weiaer on May 17. Then
and not till then can any line be formed
on the probable course of the market in
the West. In the meantime trade in East
ern Oivgon la at a atandstill. although there
are many buyers in the field- The first
public sale In Oregon will be at Pendleton
on May 24. A little wool has changed
hands In the Willamette Valley at tho
prices previously quoted. There has been
some selling- of Washington wools in the
past few "days, about 100,000 pounds be
ing taken tn the Dayton section at 14 to
16 cents. Last year these wools brought
17 cents.
Wool is accumulating at all the points
In Eastern Oregon where sealed bid sales
have been arranged for. Opinions as to
the condition of the .market are rather
vague and no prices have been fixed. The
growers, it is said, are beginning to re
alize that they cannot hope to see last
year's prices repeated, but according to
the dealers, they will .find the prions of
fered even lower than they expect. The
first Idaho sales, however, will show what
tha buyers propose to pay.
Up to the present time comparatively
little wool has been bought outright in
the West, except by local mills, but con
siderable quantities have been taken for
consignment East and shipments on that
account wilt probably be very heavy. In
Xact in some sections, particularly in Ne
vada, there are a number of buyers who
are doing nothing .else but solicit con
signments. The heaviest contracting has
been in Utah, where half of the clip was
bought on the sheep's back at prices bet
ter than are now txjing offered.
General conditions in the Kastern mar
ket are reported by the Boston Commercial
Bulletin as follows:
There Is no improvement in local trad
ing worthy of mention with the possible
exception of the accomplishment of a few
pending deals on Oregon staple. Accord
in i? to reliable report a prominent house
disposed of approximately 600,000 pounds
of the aboa on a scoured basis of about
3 cents, the figure at which another line
aggregating 400,00 0 pounds changed hands
last week as reported In this column. Ore
gon Btaple seems to bo arousing the greatest
interest principally because it is In largest
supply of all territory wools.
Worsted goods, which in their manufac
ture require the bulk of the wool con
sumed, are in a distinctly unsatisfactory
position in regard to volume of heavy
f .ejebt orders booked while woolen goods
are fairly well situated by comparison.
However, there is no apparent reason for
substantially Increased activity on the part
of consumers and in all probability the
demand for raw material will show little
change during the next few weeks unless
some dealers decide to sacrifice their hold
ings completely.
From the dealers' standpoint, there is
a firmer tone to the market, principally
because of the fact that stocks of wool
now In Boston cannot be replaced either
in this country or abroad at current values.
Thus one or two important operators in
Oregon staple now refuse to sell their best
Oregon wools at prices that are acceptable
to other merchants.
MILL FEED MARKET IS FIRMER.
Prices Kecover With Withdrawal of Cheap
Offerings.
The demoralization in the mill feed mar
ket has passed and with lighter offerings
prices ana now being restored to the former
level. There was no great quantity of
country feed offered at any tlhie, yet the
persistence of the seller completely broke
the market Nearly all the cheap offer
ings by millers were tosorbed by specu
lators. - A better domestic demand for flour la
reported, but the export trade Is still amalL
The wheat market was dull and very
little was doing In oats or barVay.

iXKrti REQUIRE! CLOK CAXDLXXG
Jocal Demand Is fcUnck and Surplus Is Going
Into Morug.
The egg trade is pot very satisfactory at
Che present time. The demand from re
tailers Is slack, and while receipts are not
heavy, they are more than ample for each
day's requirements. The condition of the
arrivals now necessitates close candling and
the percentage of shrinkage Indicates that
country shippers are holding eggs too long.
The risks from this practice will he even
greater as the weather gots warmer. It
would seem to be a matter of prudence on
the part of country merchants and other
gatherers to forward their eggs to market
a fast as they get them. Hie- small local
surplus Is going into storage.
Poultry receipts, while not heavy, are
larger than they have been recently, but
there i still a good demand for chickens of
all siaes.
There were no new developments In the
butter or egg markets.
MORE rEMAXI I R. STRAWBERRIES
tutply Is Inadequate- and 2rircke are Very
1:1 nu.
Receipts of strawberries were quite large
yesterday, but there was a sharp demand
and the supply was not sufficient. The mar
ket, therefore, was firm. Gold Dollars from
Fprlngbrook and other Yamhill points
brought S3.fcO and $;1.75 a crate. The best
Wilsons from Southern Oregon sold at $2.
but a good part of the arrivals from that
section were poor. California Dollars sold
readily at $1.35 & 1.30 and Jessies at $1
1.25.
Cherries were in fair supply and were
quoted at $1.40 1.75 per box. Gooseberries
were plentiful and lower at cents a
pound. Two cars of bananas were received,
making the total for the week to date nine
cars.

WHEAT RECEIPTS LARGE
MOVEMENT TO Alili TIDEWATER
POINTS IS INCREASING.
Eggs Are Accumulating at Seattle
and Butter Arrivals Are Heavy.
Berries Sell Well.
SEATTLE. Wash.. May 12. (Special.)
Forty-alx carloads of wheat arrived today.
This is the heaviest day's receipts at this
point in two months. About half of today's
arrivals went to the elevators and the re
mainder to the mills. The announcement
from the Farmers' Union that an effort will
be made to sell wheat at Chicago is not
considered seriously here, in view of the
fact that exporters have made unsuccessful
attempts to opon up a channel for Wash
ington wheat in the Est.
Owing to very heavy shipments of veal
today, the price dropped to 13 cents, a 'de
cline of 1 cent. Dealers had more veal than
they could handle.
Eggs continued to accumulate and more
than one dealer Is putting surplus stock
into storage in order to save the market
from a collapse. The exchange officially
dropped the price of locals to 27 cents, al
though that has been the prevailing price
for several days.
Continued heavy receipts of butter was
a feature.
Trade was not very brisk on Western
avenue today. A feature of the market has
t?en the large receipts of oranges. Cherry
receipts are increasing. The demand is not
very brisk, except from fruit stands.
Vashon berries are expected to be avail
able in considerable quantities next week.
Kennewick berries were in heavy supply to
dav. largely taking the place of California
stock. Good Kennewlcka sold generally at
from $4 to $4.50.

BIG TRADE ATYARDS
Good Offerings of Stock and
Brisk Demand.
TONE' OF MARKET STEADY
Top Quality Cattle, Hogs and Sheep
Br in Full Prices General
Conditions as Shown by
the Weekly Report.
Trade at the yards yesterday was on an
active scale; a good supply of stock was
available and the demand was brisk. The
tone of the market, on the whole, was quite
steady, with top quality stock realizing full
prices.
The best steers sold at $6.40, with a num
ber of lots changing hands at $6.25. On
cows, $5.25 was the best price realized,
while stags, hulls and calves sold at previous
quotations
Top grade hogs went at $10.60. sheep at $3
to $6.50 and lambs at $7.50.
The weekly official report of the stock
yards company follows:
"Receipts on this market since last Wed
nesday have been as follows: Cattle, 1304;
calves, 54; hogs, 14S3; sheep, 4212; horses
and mules, 50.
"Most of the cattle coming on the mar
ket have been from California, and while
the market, as a whole, can be quoted as
off from 10c to 25c. the quality of the cat
tle from California has commanded stiff
prices throughout. The Iooked-for run of
Oregon grass cattle has not materialized.
This is due to the fact that, contrary to
the experience of other seasons, everything
that was on feed last winter has been
shipped to market. Heretofore there has
been a cull of lots of feeders that have been
turned out to gtass and shipped to market
early in May.
"The sheep market has fairly held Its
cwn, quality considered. Good lambs have
brought $8.00 and fair:y good wethers have
brought $5.60 to $6.00.
"The hog market has ruled strong and
high throughout. The Portland market has
not sympathized with the markets East to
the ex-snt of breaking down to $9 00. Tops
at Portland have sold for $10.65."
Yesterday's receipts were 27 cattle, 416
sheep, 53 hogs and 6 calves.
Shippers of stock were E. L Demaris, of
Milton. 2 cars of cattle, sheep and calves;
Key II. Iod(is, of "Washougal, Wash., 1 car
of hogs; 1. E. West, of Toncalla. 1 car of

STOCKS FIRM IN TONE
BUT DEMAND SHOWS A GRADUAL
DECREASE.
Strength of Pennsylvania Keeps the
General List From Sagging.
Bonds Are Steady.
NEW YORK. May 12. Confldenc. in the
existing lvel of price, of stocks was not
well maintained In tne dealings today. The
trowing apathy of the demand begot dis
trust and promoted some reduction of hold
ings. The response to the news of the In
creased dividend rate on Brooklyn Transit
was Illustrative of the general tendency.
The stock rose momentarily to 81 and then
sold off. This compares with a high price
of S2 In April and a high price of 82 In
June of last year. In anticipation of the In
auguration odlvidends at the rate of 4 per
cent.
Tositlve predictions of a coming Increase
In the Chesapeake & Ohio dividend were
used with as little effect in inducing demand
for that stock. Runors industriously circu
lated of the consummation of control of the
Wabafh by the Rock Island party failed as
conspicuously to bring about h.ir prices.
One of the day's disappointments was the
retention of the Bank of England's official
discount rate. The weekly return ' showed
an advance to 64.40 m the percentage of re
serve to liability, the withdrawals of other
deposits more than balancing the Ingather
ing of gosrnment deposits through the col
lection of taxes. Moreover, the day's reduc
tion in official discount rates by the great
Indian banks indicated a subsidence of one
of the principal sources of pressure on the
BanMcf England reserve position.
Another ground for speculative hesitation
was found in the doubts over the soundness
of the reported Improvement in copper. A
sharp drop in the price of the metal in Lon
don was a factor in this suspension. So also
were reports of a disinclination on the part
of the domestic consumers to follow the re
cent recovery in the price of the metal.
The prevalence of cool weather in the
Northwest and predictions of its continu
ance had an effect In modifying the recent
confidence In the progress of Spring wheat
and corn, .
The strength of Pennsylvania stood out as
a prcminent exception to the general heavi
ness of the market and was of some effect
finally in overcoming that heaviness.

OPTIONS CLOSE STRONG
Among Factors Favorable to Prices
Are Estimates That Texas Yield
M ill Xot Come Up to Gov
ernment Prediction.
CHICAGO, May 12. It -was freezing and
dry In the Northern wheat fields today, but
when speculators in Chicago tried to reap
some profits thereby, the market congealed
and withered itself. Ienlal that there had
been important damage to the Spring wheat
crop also had a cooling effect. Nevertheless,
May wheat closed at a net advance of lHo
and the deferred futures with lc Corn
finished 14c to He up and oats Pro
visions showed a loss of 5c to lOc.
Conservative grain men on both sides of
the Canadian boundary were quoted as de
claring there has as yet been no Injury
worth mentioning done to Spring wheat.
The undertone, however, especially early in
the day, was unmistakably strong and many
of the largest sellers of whaat yesterday
were among the buyers today. Telegrams
from Texas were shown telling of serious
damage by Insects and declaring that con
ditions do not warrant expectation of more
than a 12,000,000-bushel crop In that state,
whereas the Government report suggested
15.000,000. September sold between fl.Ol
and $1.01, closing steady, 6Hc above
last night's final figures.
Corn and oats were Industriously hulled
by the leading longs in wheat, who had con
siderable following, but in corn the aggre
gate of trade was not large. September
ranged from 63 c to 64c and finished
steady, hi c higher at 63 63c. Cash
corn was firm, No. S yellow selling at 63
C4 Vz c.
There was a general rush to buy oats
early, but the advance was met by much
quiet selling from a leading elevator firm.
The result was that, although there was a
big trade, the range of prices was narrow.
September finished steady at 29c, a net
gain of He.
In provisions; pork closed 5 & 7 He off;
lard 710o and ribs 5c.

the absence of American support. During

FRAUD CASES CONTINUED
Federal Judge Vexed, However, Be
cause Prosecution Is Lax.
BOISE, Idaho, - May 12. (Special.)
Judge Dietrich, In th United States
Court, 'has filed e memorandum decision
denying the motion for a continuance
made by the defense in the so-called
Mountain Home land-fraud cases. The
judge virtually grants the continuance,
however, by announcing that, it being un
derstood that both sides consent, the case
will not be set for June, but will go over
until September.
The court does not seek to hide his an
noyance over the fact that the Govern
ment did not strongly oppose the defend
ants' motion, which is declared to have
been supported Insufficiently, and he hints
that if the Government had opposed it
strongly the trial would have taken place
on the date set.
The defendants were officers of tha
Great "Western Sugar Beet Company,
which failed two years .go when endea
voring to promote an irrigation project
in Elmore County, ruining many settlers
who bought water rights and prepared
their farms for crops. It is charged that
the defendants conspired to use dummy
entrymen and perjured themselves as well.
RADER STARVES TO DEATH
Seattle Politician's Fast, Taken as
"Cure," Lasts 2 9 Days.
SEATTLE, Wash.. May 12. L. E.
Rader, formerly prominent in state poli
tics and at one time a member of the
Legislature, died today after fasting 29
days. Rader had been suffering from
stomach trouble and upon the advice of
a woman physician decided to take the
"starvation treatment." Several days ago
the attention of the city health commis
sioner was called to the fact that Rader
was starving himself to death and an ef
fort was made to Induce him to take

there was no law by which he could be
forced to eat, he was left to his fate.

Much of Last Year's Grain Is Still

DAYTOX, Wash., May 13. (Special.)
Where are farmers and grain dealers of
Southeastern Washington going to store
this year's grain crop? This is the un
solved question now demanding attention
here, and if conditions do not materially
change in the next two months, the farm
ers will face the necessity of storing their
crops on their ranches.
The estimate of local buyera places th
amount of grain now stored in warehouses
at Dayton, Turner, Longs, Huntsvllle.
Starbuck and Alto in this county at above
1.000,000 bushels, or more than one-third
of last year's total crop. With harvest
only two months off, and no Indications
that this great surplus of grain will be
moved to Portland and other tidewater
markets, warehouse facilities are entirely
inadequate.
Every Spring previously has seen the
warehouses of this section cleared of the
old crop, hut this year several houses at
Turner are .nearly filled, so that no grain
can be delivered for storage. H. B. Ridg
ley, buyer for Corbett brothers, said to
day that of 60,000.000 bushels of grain
raised in Oregon, Washington and Idaho
last year, only 16,000,000 bushels have beeq
exported.
Not a bushel of grain is being shipped
from Dayton, and general conditions of
the market argue that none will be moved
between now and harvest. With a 3.000.-000-bushel
crop coming on. in this county
and storage room for only 1,800,000 bush
els, the problem of handling the grain is
serious. Buyers here lay the blame at
the door of the Farmers' Union, which
they say urged farmers last Fall to hold
their grain despite high market prices.
