M'KINLEY MITCHELL'S TOUR Southern Growers Tlrorouglily Satis fled With Oregon Seed Stock. Good Ke.su Its Are Shown at Stockton and Sacramento. McKinley Mitchell. who has just returned from an extended trip through California, reports that the potato crop in that state is looking very fine. The acreage is about the same as usual. Mr. Mitchell said: "The market for old potatoes is closed and what are left in this state will have to be consumed at home. "The season in California Is two weeks earlier than usual. The potatoes around Stockton and Sacramento are exceptionally fine. They are Peerless and American Wonders, grown from Oregon seed, and the growers are very well pleased with the seed stock this year, both for the early and late planting. While some of the high lands were not looking quite so good when the dry weather was on, the bottom irrigated lands were In splendid condition. A good many of the California growers held over their own seed, finding no market for U, consequently there was not as much Ore gon seed used as there would otherwise have been. The late planting that was done was for seed purposes. "The California planters were well sat isfied with both the quality and the price of the Oregon stock and would willingly .have paid around 1 cent a pound for it, had not the Oregon growers consigned large quantities to California dealers, who sac rificed the. potatoes to get their freight and commission. These potatoes, which were first-class, were hawked about at 60 cents a hundred, while other dealers got SO to So cents for theirs. The Oregon farm ers spoiled their market by consigning, in stead of selling to their own people at home. "The red onion crop is practically cleaned up and the Stockton growers made good money this year. "New barley was being harvested while I was there and was being shipped to mar ket. The crop is an exceptionally large one, the largest they have had in years, and predictions were made of a low mar ket for barley as well as for other feed trains. "There Is also a very large crop of hay in California, which is being baled for markut. Heavy stocks were carried over from the old crop. OI'ERIN;S OF WHEAT VERY SMALL. Only Demand at present Is from California Markets. Very little wheat is being offered here or in the country. There is some demand from California, but the Southern buyers are not taking much.

Kansas City Millers Offer New Flour 75 Cents Below the Minne apolis Quotation. CHICAGO. June 33. Lowest prices to date for the wheat crop of 10lo were made this afternoon. As if to emphasize by. con trast the bearish outlook regarding the cur rent year. May delivery of 1911 scored a net advance of '9c. Large yields -and fine quality of new wheat in Texas were recog nized as so certain that Kansas City millers offered flour to the Atlantic seaboard at 75c a barrel below Minneapolis quotations. The effect of this action was Immediate on the wheat market here. At the close the tone was easy with active futures c to lc under the final figures of Saturday. Corn finished c to & c down, and oats fiU'c. Provisions in the end were off 2!-a to 15. During the last part of the day. there was continuous pressure on the wheat mar ket from influential sources. The July op tion weakened more, relatively, than the de ferred months. Favorable cables and fine weather led to a weak start. Then the acreage of Canadian wheat was officially stated to be 1. 554.O00 more than ever be fore. The Hungarian crop was authorita tively estimated at 1 !S.o52.000, as against llo, ifo2,0H0 bushels last year. However, many orders to buy on a dip came into play and caused a reaction somewhat more than the early declines. September fluc tuated between 88 a SS Va c and SOTsC and closed at SSc. The range for September corn was from 57'fcc to 58ic with the close easy at 57 i 57 c, a net decline of c. Because of selling by farmers and on ac count of lack of support, the oats market declined. Prices varied between K54c and V,4 34c. closing at the first named fig ures, a net loss of c The Western hog run today was away off 1 the total a year ago.

SELLERS OUT OF IT Stocks Are No Longer Pressed for Sale. MARKET EASILY ADVANCES Amalgamated Copper and Steel Rise in Spite of the Pwr Trade , Showing Bond Mark- ket Is Firmer. NEW YORK. June 13. The state of idle ness into which the etock market fell today proved to the advar ge of values-, the with drawal of orders v -ng apparently from the filing side of th'- market. The evidence thus afforded of a subsidence in the pressure o" liquidation with which last week closed warned the bears not to press their operations. Accordingly, after a preliminary test, under which prices yielded only moderately, they bought to cover short contracts. The reports of the borrowing of large amounts of stocks lent credit to the supposition that the short interest wa becoming unwieldy and the mar ket oversold. Ixmdon prices for Americans were at ad vances over Saturday, but the opening mar ket here ignored that at first and London was accredited with little part in the day's strength. Other foreign centers were affected by the poor condition of the American copper trade and depressed copper mining stocks. Amalgamated Copper, however, after a mo mentary response, came into the general up ward movement. There was a substantial ab sorption, at the same time, of United States Steel, in pite of reports that the market for tinifahed steel products was beginning to show signs of the same kir.d of oversupply that has weighed on the iron market. There had to be faced, as well, reports of additional curtail ment by cotton mills, both in New England and the South. From railroad traffic officials throughout the country oh me intimations that some checks had been felt, on account of the controversy over the rates between the rail roads and the Government, A call was said to have been made on the underwriters of the $43.000. oOu Atchison, To peka, & Santa Fe convertible bonds for pay ment of 25 per cent of their subscriptions, the inference being that stockholders were not availing tnemselves of their privilege of sub scription to these bonds. The money market reflected a lightened de mand for slock market purposes. The demand irom mercantile sources appears to be slug gish as well. Other money markets report that speculation In its objectionable forms has been effectively checked. The return to the Con troller of the Currency under the call, which is expected now at an e&rlv d.te. is awaited wit'.i interest for a comprehensive showing of the loan position. London seems to expect to be called upon for gold to help finance the American crop move ment this Fall, that being one of the reawns ior tne extraordinary reserves which have oeen omit in jjondon.
