RESULT OF HIS TOUR Good Prices Are Looked For Re cause of the Shortage in Some Sections of the Middle West. Prospects In Colorado. Hors.cc W. Day, the veteran fruit man of New York, who has Just returned home from an extended tour throughout the "West In an Interview, gives some interesting In formation concerning the fruit-crop outlook. Mr. Day Is quoted, as saying: "In Oregon the pears promise about the same as last year, both as far as Bart letts. Cornice, D'A.nJou and Winter Kellis are concerned. In the Hood River section there are only a few cars of Bartletts, but the apple crop promises to be much larger than that of a year ago. At North Yakima sv very large crop of all rrulta is expected. Over 800 cars of peaohes alone are looked for, but these are almost always marketed In Oregon, Washington, Dakota, and Mon tana. The apple crop there also promises to be very large, and they grow some-jDeautifuI Wlnesaps. At walla Walla and Ml Won there will be from lOO to 125 carloads of Italian prunes, and In Southern Idaho over 4O0 cars of this same fruit are looked for, as well as full crop of apples.- "Utah will have between 400 and 50O car loads of peaches, mostly to be marketed through the Middle West. In "Colorado cold weather materially cut down the yield in several sections, but palisade expects a full crop of peaches, and It la probable that there will be about 10O0 to 1200 carloads of peaches out of Colorado this season. Their apple crop 1B expected to yield between 2000 end 2900 carloads if all goes well. "It seemed to be the general impression In the Far West that the crops of fruit in the Middle West had been so1 seriously dam. Aged by the several freezes that there should b strong demand for all the deciduous fruits crown in the Far West." CALIFORNIA Bl YH IJTTLE WHEAT. Millers of Southern State Purchasing for Only Immediate Needs. There Is a little Inquiry from California for wheat, but the millers of that state are suffering only their present needs. The Improved tone of the market does not stimu late thc-m to provide against future require ments. In other respects the local market is very quiet. The only Interest shown Is In bluestem. Th demand for oats and barley Is also exceedingly slow.. Not a. single car of bar ley has arrived for the week to date, but there is still quite a supply on the dock. Local receipts, in cars, were reported by the Merchants Exchange as follows: Wheat Barley Flour Oats Hay Monday 13 '.. 14 15 13 Tuesday 10 .. 4 4 4 Wednesday ... 11 2 . 4 "Year ago 2. . . 7 7 Season to date 1895 1308 2126 1422 247 Year ago 10506 1535 1563 854 2728 CANTALOUPE MARKET IS EASY, Three Cars Are on Hand and Four More Due This Week. With three cars tf cantaloupes on the street, enough to last the remainder of the week, and four more cars due' before Mon day, the market was naturally weak. Prices ranged from $2.50 to f4 a crate. Apricots weie among the best sellers on the street, with quotations ranging from $1 to 91-90 a box. Much-ntthe buying now is for home canning, as apricot prices wilt probably net be any lower this season than now. The strawberry market was very firm. Clark seedlings sold at $2,25. Wilsons at 9 1.7 and Magoons at $1.50 per crate. Black berries were more plentiful and were slow at 75 cents to $1 per crate. The demand for cherries is on the Increase and as receipts are larger, prices are gradu ally declining. Royal Anns were quoted yes terday at 10 cents and Bings at 1012H cents a pound. POULTRY AND FXH-S IN DEMAND, Ettocka of Butter and Cheese Not Up to Requirements. The demand for poultry, eggs and butter continues heavy, and It is difficult for job bers to get sufficient for their dally need. Hens cleaned up yesterday at 20 cents for the best and broilers were quick sale at 30 cents. Dressed meats were also firm. Receipts of eggs were light and candled stock readily commanded 27 cents at the close of the day. Local consumption of butter has Increased largely this week, which has fully offset any decrease that has occurred in the ship ping demand. The cheese market is firm with the demand overtaxing the supply. Eastern Mohair Market. Business In the Eastern mohair market is In only a moderate volume, says the Boston Commercial Bulletin, with prices steady at quotations.

PLENTY OF CANTALOUPES PROSPECT FOR A LARGE CROP IX THE YAKIMA VALLEY. i Batter Is Weak at Seattle and Talk Is No Longer Heard of Higher Prices. " SEATTLE. Wash., June 8. (Special.) Three carloads of cantaloupes have arrived this week, yet the demand has been un usually brisk. Reports from Eastern Wash lngton, particularly from the .Yakima Val ley, are to the effect that the prospects for a large cantaloupe crop here this season are excellent. Berry receipts today passed the 6000-crate mark. Only two carloads were loaded out for the East, and prices .dropped on account of the large surplus. Good berries- sold at $1 and few, except Clark Seedlings, went above $1.25. Thero is a large holdover stock. The first red raspberries of the season ar rived today from Kennewick and sold at $3.oO&$3.75 a crate. Cherries dropped to $1 4i 1.30. with the supply rather in excess of the demand, readies also moved slowly. Butter very ea and all talk of advancing the price appearso nave disappeared. Deal ers find themselves well stocked and con slderable butter Is in stent. Eire's, however. were very firm a$. 30c and there was talk of an advance. Veal was a little more plentiful. Dressed lambs sold higher at 16c. Wheat was firmer, with Bales of bluestem to exporters at 82 cents.

MONEY MARKET EASIER Contrary Views of the Railway Situ ation. Expressed by Officials. Xew York 'central Will Buy Equipment. NEW YORK. June 8. Ther was some speculative hesitation reflected in the action of today's atock market, partly due to the rapidity of the advance of the day before and partly to the conflict over the situation created over the rate settlement. Contrary views expressed by railroad er ecutivea themselves were responsible for the conflict of opinion, especially the announce ment by President Brown, of the New York Central, that work calling for $5,000,000 ex penditures and orders for freight cans, which had been held up as & result of the rate In junction, would be resumed, in contrast with the asaertkm of President Ripley, of the Santa Fe, that his company would, not depart in any degree from the policy of retrenchment decided on after the action of the Government against the rate advances. London Joined In a substantial way in the early selling brought about by these condltioas. The heavy selling of St. Louis and the dis couraged feeling expreseeed In a published in terview with a capitalist prominent In that party were corroborative of the conviction that divergence of. opinion existed between promi nent groups In the financial world. Much attention was given to the question of railroad earnings as thev would be affected by the postponement of rate advances until approved by the Interstate Commerce Commis sion and the probable period of that postpone ment. That the advances would ultimately become effective was the usual assumption. May statistics of the Copper Prodticers As sociation offered little ground for encourage ment, the month's production having been the largest, with the exception of October last year, for any month since the association was formed, deliveries in the meantime having re mained stable at about the level of the last three months, with the result of another addi tion of 18,441, 814 pounds to the surplus stocks of the' metal. Quotations for copper were lower, ' both in London and New York. " An increase of pig Iron stocks In May, in spite of curtailed production, induced a prediction by the Iron Age that the blowing out of fur naces nas not gone far enough. A favorable view was taken of the Gov ernment crop report. Money was easier, but foreign exchange re covered in response to selling of stocks for London acccount, and in spite of predictions of a. reduction in the Bank of Ekigland dis count rate tomorrow. Bonds were firm. Total sales, nar value. $2,061,000, United States 2s, registered, ad vanced 4 per cent on call. CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS. Closing Stales.

Chicago Traders Looked for Moderately BulUtth Crop Report. CHICAGO, June S. Active spreading be tween July and September options received more attention today in the wheat trade. Selling the later delivery while 'buying the earlier was the favorite form of speculation. Leading in the movement was a prominent elevator concern, which has issued a bullish circular after having been rather conspicu ous on the bear side. Thij c?.oae was, firm, with July a)c net higher and the other months a shade up to Si c. Corn finished at an advance of c to iQ'c. . and oats showed a decline of a shade to 4c. Final figures in provisions -were 5&12c to 17 c above last night's level. As the Government crop renort was not due until after the .end of the session, a disposition to indulge in scalping as a tem porary occupation seemed natural with a large number of operators In wheat. Toward the end of the day most of the guess era in clined to the idea of a moderately bullish document from Washington. Following the advance, profit taking on the part of deal ers who had bought during the first hours led to a sharp break In September, but the effect was partly overcome by the transac tions before th expiration of the last 15 minutes. It WUs asserted that the South west was receiving too much rain for this season of the year. September ranged from 90e to 9191c. closing at 91c. General buying of com was induced by large shipment. From 58" c at the open ing. September advanced to 59 c and fin ished steady, c up at 59c. The cash market was firm. No. 2 yellow closed at 50 Vi, & 5.c.

The Boise police are unable to solve to their satisfaction the mystery surrounding the reported murder of W. T. Rusk, a former resident of Payette and Ontario, who was killed on May 24 in the suburbs of Vancouver, Wash." His brother, a resi dent of Payette, declares that he received a card from Husk dated the same day as his reported killing, and that he has wired the Chief of Police of Vancouver to ascertain whether or not the Rusk said to have been killed is his brother. A letter written by one Ray Meal to a local paper about June 1, asked for the names of friends or relatives of W. T. Rusk, stating that the latter was killed in the suburbs of Vancouver by a sup posed friend. Woodward & Woodward, physicians of Payette, answered that they were acquainted with Rusk and .attended him prior to the latter part of April, when he went back to a homestead near Ontario. The brother at Payette then declared he had a brother at Vancouver named W. T. Rusk, .and had received a postal card from him May 24. He wired the Chief of Police of Vancouver, who re plied that no man had been shot and killed In Vancouver on May 24, and he knew nothing of the case.
