Many crop reports were received yesterday from Inland Kmpire wheat frowinf sec tione. and almost without exception they lv-re favorable. No damage was caused by the recant hot spell, and present weather conditions are Ideal. All that is feared now is the prevalence of hot winds later. It the country can escape them, the crop will he a rood one, even If it dpes not equal last year's. The market was quiet and prices were firm and unchanged. California is still taking club wheat In a limited way. A considerable quantity of bluestem re jnalm In the hands of brokers and interior millers, especially around Spokane. They have been hanging on In the belief and hops that the Coast mills would have to buy It. The big millers, however, will get through the season without it, Judging fjrom present appearances, and theBe holders will have to find outside markets. There is no inquiry from the Orient for either old crop wheat or flour. It is prob able that some business may yet be worked In straights, but millers are not expecting to make further sales of cut-offs.

Bureau of Chemistry Reports Result of Its Analysis. Red peppers form the subject ot a bulle tin by I M. Tolman and I. C Mitchell, issued by the Bureau of Chemistry of the Department of Agriculture. In It all va rieties of red pepper used In the United .States are described and analysed. The same variety of red peppers, grown under different climatic and cultural condi tion?, yields products adapted to different lines. We Import wild chillies from Mom basa and Zanzibar, gathered by a seml ctviiized population and dried on the ground so that they come to us covered with dirt an-! sand and must be cleaned before grind Ir.p They are ground and used principally as spices. On the other hand, the cultivated Japanese chillies are used unground in the preparation of chili sauce. Similarly the Hungarian paprika is prized as a spice, while the Spanish paprika has a distinct -itmmerclal use as a coloring for such pro ducts as sausage and tomato ketchup. The Investigators of the bureau sought to det ermine" the normal composition of the various red peppers, with special reference to the deviations in amounts of ash, sand, either extract and crude fiber, and also to study the distinctive odor, flavor and taste. tli at the part of the fruit to which the characteristic properties are due may be known. Another object has been to in vestigate the effect on the composition of ground pepper of including or excluding needs or stems, for the purpose- of detecting their presence or absence. An interesting point noted Is that the pungent principle occurs almost exclusively in the placenta, a thin membraneous parti -t Ion inside the shell. In some cases, how ever, a better result is obtained by grinding the seed with the rest of the fruit, as the oil freed in this way dissolves the color of the product and apparently develops the flavor and aroma.

BETTER TONE IN WOOL MARL ET More Business Put Through at Boston Mills Buy in West. BOSTON. June 6. The Commercial Bul letin will say of the wool market tomorrow: Rather more business has been put through this week In the Boston wool market and, all in all, there Is a better tone, but there are no signs of a runaway market, dealers being disposed to operate only with the greatest caution in the West, and few man ufacturers buying; as yet for more than ac tual requirements. in the West the mills continue to lead the way in new clip purchases, which are still moderate for so late in the season. TRADE VOLUME GOOD Distribution Is Greater Than One Year Ago. Metal Markets. More Clieerful Feeling at London Reported in Cable New York Banks Gain in Cash on Week's Movements. NEW YORK. June 6. Although not free from periods of unsettlement, the stock market showed today a distinct improve ment, culminating in an emphatic exhibi tion of strength which lifted manv import ant shares well above the previous day's close. in certain uuartern of me usi. oeciallv amonir the specialties, there was evidence of forced selling; which brought aoout some severe declines. i no it-nut-i however, were in much better demand. Opening, prices were generally higher, but the early gains were 'gradually eliminated, as the market undermined by heavy selling of Atchison, the petroleum shares. Can and others. The movement was accelerated by a sharp bear raid, in which a number of low records for the long decline were reached. The market quickly recovered ltB poise, however, and the influence of spirited buy ing of the leaders rose steadily to the end of the session. . A factor in bringing about the smart up turn late in the day was the appearance of Washington advices stating there was no ground for recent rumors circulate!! In Wall Street concerning the attitude of the ad ministration toward certain large corpora tions. The chief demand for stocks, how ever, came from the shorts. Cabled dispatches reported a more cheer ful feeling in London. A gain in cash of 14,000,000 to $5,000,000 for the week was indicated by known movements of cur rency. Time money was strong and foreign exchange rates made another advance. Considerable weakness appeared in num erous bonds with, some recovery later in sympathy with" the rise in stocks.

The market for new crop hops is now on a 14-cent oasis, although no purchases at That price are known to have heen made In Oregon. In California several contracts have been made in the past two or three days at 13 to 14 cents for Sonoma and Men docino crops. According- to the latest reports the So noma yield will equal last year's. Vermin are no worse in that section than a year ago. The Increased acreage of the stata Is "3ipected to offset the effect of the early hlossomlnjr In some of the yards. The Schmidt lot of 160 bales or 1912s at Mt. Angel was sold yesterday at 14 cents. This leaves only 150 bales of the old crop In growers hands. London cables were contradictory. One reported the weather slightly more favor able and the market firm. The other said: "Um more persistent; market very firm with upward tenderry. New crop German hops advanced 5 cents yesterday."

Con- estion in the July option here added to the fears of wheat shorts. There were signs that July contracts ere largely held by strong interests and might be forced to a stiff premium over September. On the other hand, St. Louis eported July there to be relatively weak. wing to the nearness of new wheat and eeause of threatened insurance difficulties. Profit taking led to a decided setback at one stage, but the upward tendency of prices was again in fuil swing as the srsslon came to. an end. Seaboard clearances of wheat and flour equaled 1.125.000 bushels. Primary receipts wheat were 581,000 bushels, a year ago 2,000 bushels. Corn received help chiefly from the wheat bulge. Lightness of offerings allowed oats to. climb unchecked. Provisions advanced mainly owing to a harp upturn In the hog market. Packers were buying July pork and ribs.

Dun's weekly re iew of trade tomorrow will say: More seasonable west her has had a favor able effect on retail distribution throughout the country and while a slight recession In wnolesale business is apparent in. some sec tions of the West, reports from several cen ters show trade to be more active than I year ago. Needed rains have greatly bene fited the crop in the Southwest. New business In Iron and steel falls short of production, but the mills have plenty of orders on hand and it Is expected that ac tive buying; will be resumed before these become exhausted. Cotton goods are in good demand, although buyers are still operating conservatively. Woolen mills have reduced activity owing to tariff uncertainty, and silk mills on ac count of strikes, but stocks in all branches of the textile trade are abnormal.? low, which will faror a prompt resumption of full time operations as soon as the present re straining influences are moved. Trade in leather and footwear Is quiet. Railroad gross earnings for four weeks In May increased 7.8 per cent. LADD & TIL.TON BANK Established 1859.

June 6, Bradatreet'i itate ment of trade tomorrow will say: Varying factors are presented by this week's reports, financial pessimism, plus ap prehension over tariff changes being in sharp contrast to very favorable returns as to actual current trade and as to crops. Better weather has Improved distribution at retail centers, jobbers throughout a wide area ot the country enjoying a g-ood volume of busi ness for prompt delivery. But the financial situation, involving, as it does, stock market liquidation, tight money and more than usual difficulty in making collections, together vith a certain degree of uncertainty regarding tariff mat ters, continues to hold up operations for the far future. Withal the trends of the week have been rather more encouraging than otherwise. In the principal Western center, clearance sales of dry goods by jobbers have been of rec ord proportion that is for a cleanup. Stocks of various kinds were exhausted . and In some crises Jobbers are unable to fill orders promptly. Trade currents continue to run at a swifter pace in the Northwest, South west and West than they do In the East. Wheat.
