TIIE MORNING OREGONIAJT, SATURDAY, MAY 21, 1910. ID WOTENOUGHBUTTER Local Supply Is Not Equal to All Demands. PRICE ADVANCES TODAY Seattle Draws Heavily on I'ortlaud Stocks to .Fill Alaska Orders. High I'rlces Are Expected "ext Winter. There will be an advance of 1 cent a pound In city creamery butter today, the new quotation being 2 cents. Since the last advance of a cent, contrary to the expectations of some, the market -has ruled very firm. The demand from Seattle has not only cleaned up th-a local surplus, but lias also drawn heavily on the supply needed here, and since the Xorthern market ad vanced to 31 cents, the demand has been even, stronger. The Puget Sound Inquiry Is due to the grilling of orders for Alaska shipment by Seattle dealers. With an insufficient sup ply of Washington butter and but litle Kastern. butter available, they have had to come to this market for their supply. The Alaska shipments will be over by Juih 1 and the Seattle demand will then relax, but it is a Question whether prices here will recede. This is tho flush season for butter produc tion, yet the total output of the Western Oregon creameries is said by competent authorities to be less than it was last year, owing to a reduction of dairy herds. At the eam3 time, both the local and the shipping demand are greater than a year ago. Very little butter has been put into storage this season and the prospects are good for high prices during the Fall and Winter. The indications also point to a high level of egg values next Fall. A leading Eastern authority writes to a local dealer as fol lows: m "We see by the reports of the Associated Warehouses that on the 1st. of. May there was 1,116,000 cases of eggs lit storage as against 693,000 cases a year ago, 996,000 .May 1, 190S and 1.266,000 May 1, 19(7. "Our heavy production here a year ago was the 1st of May. The heavy production this year was the last week in March. Our production now is 60 per cent of what it was the first week in March and it looks now Irke an early- closing of the egg pro ducing season." i ROW KKS EXI'KCT IXW BIOS ON WOOL, lluyers and Sellers Mot Likely to Get To. jrether at Pendleton. PENDLETON". Or.. May 20. (Special.) With the Pendleton wool alps date. Oregon's first uf the season, less than a week away, there la much uncertainty manifested in this city as lo the prices to be asked or demanded. fcj far there -has not been a pound of wool sold in this vicinity and If any- offers have been made by the buyers, they have not been reported. The buyers insist that the market is weak and uncertain, while there is a feeling on the part of the growers that the buyers have combined to keep down prices. Some of the leading sheepmen declare that there Is nothing in the foreign market condition? to justify the present condition of the American market, which they say has been, brought about by manipulation. With the conditions as they are. it is not believed, that the bids for the wool to be offered- next Tuesday will be high enough to tempt any grower to let go his holdings. Large blocks of stock in the Chicago storage ware house are held by local growers and it seems that much of Umatilla County's clip will be hold and shipped to Chicago to be stored until there is a more favorable opening. By this time last year a large part of the wool produced here had passed from the hands of the growers. The qualty of this year's clip is said! to bs exceptionally good, being free from dirt as well as of long fleece and good staple. The absence of dirt Is attributed to the fact that There has not been a single real dust storm in Eastern Oregon this Spring, whereas there are usually a large number of them before shar ing time. APW.K PROSPECTS OF THE COl'STRI Damage by Cold Weather JJot as Great as First Reported. Apple crop prospects of the country are sum marized as follows by an Eastern horticultural paper: Very little damage 'has been done by the cold weather in the New England States. The early varieties were hurt some, but the late were not in bloom at the time of the cold weather and prospects are excellent. In New York State, Pennsylvania. New Jer sey and Delawara practically no damage has been done. . The early reports of -the damage done In Ohio and Michigan, were greatly overestimated and enongh bloom has been left to insure a good cr. In the Ben Davis group of slates In the Middle Went very serious damage was done by tie cold and stormy weather the latter part of April. Lator i-eports, however, have been a bit more encouraging and a partial crop is promised. Considerable damage was done by cold in Colora-Jo and Idaho, but Oregon and Washing ton give promise of the largest crops in their history. Conditions in California have been and are favorable to a good crop. As to Canada, the trees aro not yet in bloom, but the buds are well set and pros pects are excellent. SOME IXQllRV FOB BLIESTEM. Otherwise the Demand for Grain Is Very Small. A little demand for bluestem was reported yesterday, but other varieties of wheat were very dull. Trade In oats and barley was also quiet. Barley dealers said they found it im possible to make sales at $22. The tendency of the oats market was also weak. A Seattle message reported that holders on the flats were beginning to sell their oats. Weekly foreign Wheat shipments were re ported by the Merchants Exchange as follows: This wk. Last wk.

The strawberry supply yesterday was larger than Thursday, but was not equal to the re quirements of the local trade, and the mar ket, therefore, ruled very firm. The best Ore gon sold at' $3 to $3.50 per crate, with the bulk of sales . at $2.50 to $2.75. The last car of Florin berries of the season will arrive this morning. Among the novelties in the fruit line was the first shipment of California plums, which were quoted at $2.50 per box. Like the first apricots received, they ere green, and hard. Four cars of bananas arrived- during the day, in fine condition. The market was well stocked with vegetables, especially peas. Poultry Prices Are Steady. There was a moderate stock of poultry on the street, and the demand was good enough to absorb all the offerings at unchanged prices. Veal was not very plentiful and was quot- cd firm.

TONE OF MARKET STRONG Rumor That ITlllterT States Sleel Will Be Listed Paris Bourse Is Revived Banks Gainv In Cash. NEW YORK. May 20. As a tribute of respect to the memory of King Edward of England, and during the funeral services of that monarch, the stock exchange did not begin operations today until noon. The estimates of the week's currency movement Indicate that larse shinments have been coming to New York from other points and the sub-treasurv. also bv reason of tho monthly pension payments, has made large contrioutions of cash to the banks. The gain in that item promises to reach as much as $12,000,000. The easier tendency tor money rates, both for call aod time oans, is explained bv this develonment. The banks manifest but little dlsrjosftion to rjur- chasc mercantile paper, the rates on prime graues ranging rrom 4 to 5 per cent. One incident of the day was a revival of rmors that United States Steel would be isted on the Paris bourse. The exnected ncrease In the dividend rate on. Cbesaoeake & Ohio was greeted by a fractional decline n tne rlce of that stock. The speculative operations in Reading and In Canadian Pa cific were continued in a desultory fashion. tenner tnese or other operations were suf ficient to give animation to the market. The tone of the closing was strong, with considerable show of activity. nonas were Irregular. Total sales, par value, $1. 280,000. United States bonds were unchanged on call.

TEXAS CROP IS POOR CONDITION'S HOPELESS OVEK A LARGE AREA. Scurrying of Shorts to Cover in the Chicago Pit May- Depressed by Buluth Shipments. 1 - 1 I , I"-,", X . - OA T K .1 ... V. ,1 0 , ,11 II T- U f was startled today by Information that tflfT crop expert of a leading firm here, under date of Ringgold, Tex., sent word that from there to Wichita Falls the conditions were hopeless for wheat, and that tne nopes her alded about the supplies to come from tho big state, the first of all to harvest, would not be fulfilled. The result was a scurrying of shorts to cover. The decline in May wheat was attributed to the chartering of 560,000 bushels of lake freight room -for wheat to come to Chicago from Duluth in addition to a cargo from there to arrive hero tomorrow. The September option sold between $1.1.00 and $1.00 and closed steady at $1.00 1.00. Corn weakened on weather reports, and sales of cash corn, particularly white, from this state and because of absence of ship ping demand. As in wheat, shorts covered late in the day, but with a less degree of anxiety. September ranged from 61 c to 62c and closed 3c off at 6161c. Weather conditions were said to be the best imaginable for oats. A late rally was due to the influence of wheat. September .kept between 38 c and 38 c, closing steady at 3838c. The provision pit was lifeless all day. Prices finished unchanged to 7c lower. The leading futures ranged as follows: WHEAT. Open. High. $1.11 $1.11 1.0l' 1.03 1.00 1.00 CORN. Low.

DUE TO REDUCED PRICES Evidence of a World-Wide Movement for the Readjustment of Commod ity Values General Business Active in the 'West. i NEW YORK, May 20. R. G. Dunn & Co.'a Weekly Review of Trade tomorrow will say: The trade movement, taking the country as a whole, continues large. That there is In all markets, and particularly In the se curity market', much disappointment that the extravagant expectations at . the be ginning of the year are not being fulfilled is beyond Question, and this feeling results in a very conservative attitude by both traders and consumers. There Is a feeling among some that con ditions inseparable from a period of world wide economic transition may be forcing some important readjustments and the dis position Is to watt for developments. Sentiment in iron and steel Is optimistic, as.a result of broader demand for finished products, accompanied by Increased inter est in pig iron. While Improvement In the latter division Is by no means marked, con sumers show greater willingness to cover their requirements. Inquiry being stimulated by the low prioes quoted. Most producers refuse to " make further concessions. New business has come forward most freely In the East. Conditions appear more favorable in finished steel lines, now that the rail roads and ' agricultural interests have re sumed active buying of equipment.- - The small measure of lprovement in the demand for cotton goods and yarns is main tained and some small advances are being paid, but prices are still so unsatisfactory that curtailment of production is increas ing in clothing and yarn. Export (business to the Far East is dull, but the movement to Australia and Manila has been fair. PACIFIC COAST TRADE IS GOOD. In Other Sections General Business la in Waiting Stage. NEW YORK. May 20. Bradstreet's to morrow will say; Trade reports, except in the Northwest and on the North Pacific Coast, show Utile gain in activity, and indeed, in some lines, such as textile manufacturing, further cur tailment Is under discussion. It Is probably true, however, that evidences of crop and weather improvement came too late in the week to be equally reflected in the week's report. In large industrial centers, par ticularly of the East, improvement is not manifest, whereas the quieter tone of many lines or the evidence of further curtail ment of operations points to other causes than backward weather having been oper ative in holding back demand. I .. . ttn.a . . l...1.lr,. 1, im triia SfA still active, prominent in these being the building trades and the hardware and other kindred lines, 'mere is sun eviaence, now ever. that anticipations as to the Spring trade were' keyed too high. Summed up, trade, as well as speculation, seemed to be In a waiting stage. Pend ing a clearer view of the x ultimate crop situation, the disposition is to postpone future committments. Sentiment in iron and steel has Improved, particularly In finished Unas, which feel the Impulse of better buying of railway cars and motive power and further heavy contracts for steel bars from Westerfi agri cultural implement makers. Business failures In the United States for the week ending with May 19 were 225. agafnst 216 last week; 219 In the like week of 1909 ; 284 In '1908: 165 In 1907 and 170 In 1906. Business failures in Canada for the week numbered 19. which compares with 24 for last -week and 25 in the cor responding week of last year.

HAY PRICES ARE LIFTED MUCH PltKSSUKE OX THK SEAT Tr.K OATS MARKET. Strawberries Do Not Clean Up. Oversuppiy of Cabbage Eggs Are Steady. SEATTLE, May 20. (Special.) Hay prices have stiffened up here, particularly tho last few days. Tho best ttmotny was quoted- today at $28. Considerable Oregon and California hay is offered, but is not in favor with buyers here. There is consider able pressure in the oats market, Riving- rise to the supposition that at least on-3 and pos sibly two largo holtlers are endeavoring; to unload part of their holdings, which are known to be heavy. Wheat was quiet. The State Grain In spector, after a trip through the grain belt, estimates the new Washington crop at 36, 000,000 bushels, with no increase in acreage. Berries did not clean up today. If the weather, holds good tomorrow. however, dealers expect everything will' be disposed of early. A car of Florin berries arrived this afternoon and is said to be the last straight carload of California to arrive this season. ' - . Five carloads of cabbage came in today. The market is overstocked. Celery has prac tically disappeared from the market. Ba nanas are in better condition and moving Wetter. Notwithstanding the brisk demand for veal, country shippers appear to fear fur ther reductions, for they are swamping the market. The 12-cent price prevailed in most quarters, although some fancy stock brought premiums. Iealers do not look for veal to go much below 12 cents. Eggs were steady and unchanged.
