THE MORNING OIIEGONIAN, TUESDAY, JULY 12, 1910. 17 BIG DAY FOR FRUITS Watermelons Sell Like Hot cakes and Cants Give Out. LEMONS JUMP $1 A BOX 1'caches Are in Large Supply and Strong Demand Local Black berries Injured by the . Hot Wave. Yesterday's weather was the kind that makes the Front-street merchant glad. It was a continual scramble all day long to Bet fruit and an enormous quantity was moved. The retail buying kept up until the close of business hours. Tha strongest demand was for water melons and the supply was sufficient to fill only a fraction of the orders. Two cars were received and they were sold as fast aa unloaded. During most of the week the local supply la going- to be very short, as melons are practically unobtainable now in the TMnube. Cal., district and Turlock ship ments will not be available before Saturday. Next week, however, there will be plenty of melons. The cantaloupe supply was also scanty and prices were advanced to J3.S0 3.75 per crate. A few express shipments axe on the way from Turlock" and sarlot shipments will be numerous next week. The sharpest advance yesterday was on lemons, the market going up a full dollar over Saturday's Quotations. Fancy stock is now held at 8 a box and the prediction made in these columns last Winter of a $10 lemon market in the Summer months is that much nearer verification. Peaches were also active sellers. The market was well stocked with Southern Ore gon clings, which sold at 5075 cents a box, while California Crawfords, a car of which arrived, were lower than last week at 7ig83 'cents a box. There will be plenty of California freestones this week, as several cars are rolling, the Southern wires Bald the hot weather is now burning up the crop. A market letter of the California Fruit Distributers says of the peach ship ments from the Sacramento Valley: "Good varieties of peaches are now going forward, consisting principally of Crawfords. This variety will continue through the greater part of next week and will be followed by Elbertas, late Crawfords and Susquehannas. Xo large quanties will be available for near ly ten days, but after that time the offer ings will be ample to meet all requirements." Other deciduous fruits were in fair sup ply and sold at Saturday's prices. The first reports of hot wave damage came from the lections east of Mount Tabor and were to the effect that blackberries were being cooked on the vines. Among the day's produce receipts was the first car of Walla Walla onions of the sea son. They were of the Yellow Globe va riety and were quoted at $2.50 per hundred. WHEAT PRICES ARE STEADILY RISING. Reaction in the Eastern and Foreign Mar kets Is Ignored Here. The reaction in the Eastern and foreign wheat markets yesterday had no effect on market conditions In the Pacific North west.

Additional Engagement of Two Mil lions in Gold in London for Shipment to Xew York. NEW YORK. July. 11. There were re ports that the drouth in the Spring wheat region had been relieved by rains. There was an engagement of $2,000,000 gold in London for shipment to New York., That and 'the weekly .New York bank statement published late Saturday Indicated abundance of money supplies in the local market. There were sustaining influences on the price of stocks today and they advaneed in response over the closing level of last week. The stock speculation had gone a good way towards discounting a crop dis aster in the Spring wheat states. Opin ion was divided regarding the availability of rains to effect great benefit at this be lated period. The better crop news was given credit for some of the new demand for stocks which was reported to be In evi dence In commission-house eircleav The slump In the London price of cop per was taken seriously to heart by the speculative element In stocks as threaten ing a reopening of an admittedly weak point In the Industrial situation. The price was the lowest quotation for standard copper touched for several years. The recent heavy exports from this country made poor assurance for relief of the conditions of plethora of stocks with such an effect on the receiving markets. The news of the week's reduction In prices of crude steel failed to conform to the lowered price of iron, and gave the news additional in fluence 'as an industrial symptom. The weight of this burden on the general mar ket proved a drag. The Identity of -the importer of the gold engaged in London could not be learned. Some of the large International banking houses were candid in expressing criticism of the movement and frank In lmpunging Its motive as designed to stimulate the stock market. The response of the two money markets affected was proof, however, of the forces at work to favor the movement. The xtrlvaJj-, disnrmnt rate declined in London in spite of the taking of gold. Foreign exchange here was weak and, fell back to last week's low level. Bonds were firm. Total sales, par value, $1,529,000. United States bonds were unchanged on call. CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS.
