THE MORNING
ORIENT IN MARKET
Order Placed for Flour Out of
Old Crop.
TRADE IN WHEAT RESULTS
Interest in Xew Crop Is Not Yet Ac
tive Course Grain Prices
Are Maintained With
Light Demand.
Yeatenday saw somewhat of, a revival In
the local wheat market. The buylnc was
said to be for milling account and was un
derstood to result from the placing of new
orders for flour for shipment to the Orient
out of the old crop. There was also some
Oriental demand on the market for spot
wheat. The Inquiry from California was
light. So far aa prices are concerned, the
market has undergone no change.
A little new crop contracting Is reported
from, thai country, but the details are hard
to get There is no press to undertake
this kind of business and the farmers are
not particularly interested In selling Just
How.
Trada In oat and barley is or small pro
portions, but prices are easilyvmaJntalncd, as
stocks are meager.
Some Interesting data, on the Hongkong
flour situation is given by Consul-General
George A. Anderson. Imports of American
flour into Kongkong in 11112 were C, 61)4,504
bags. The total imports from the United
States exceeded those of any year since 1001.
In actual consumption the year 1912 ex
ceeds all records by a etlll greater margin,
for at the beginning of the year large stocks
were held in Hongkong and the end of
the year found stocks comparatively low
for the season.
The prices were slightly below the aver
age, however, at least toward the end of
the . year. Notwithstanding this fact the
unusually low prices on the Pacific Coast,
the poor rice crop and especially favorable
exchange all tended to keep the local prices
within reach of the Chinese consumers.
Competition of the Shanghai mills was felt
somewhat, but not enough to serlouBly en
danger the hold of American flour upon the
markets in the outports.
One notable feature of the situation is
that Australia has not been able to hold its
own in China. Java still buys heavily from
Australia, and the Philippines likewise pur
chase considerable Quantities, the Australian
flour being drier than the Pacific Coast
product. Shipments from Hongkong to
Indo-China have buen in about the usual
volume, but are generally irregular.
The prospects lor 1U13 are satisfactory,
and unless there Is a rise iu price in the
Vniteil States above that already experienced
there is every reason to expect a very fair
season, says the Consul-General.
Local receipts, in cars, were reported by
the Merchants Exchange as follows:

RAIN BENEFITS OREGON HOP CROP
Larger Yield Is Now Assured No Trading
In Local Market.
The rains of the past two days have been
cf great benefit to the hop crop of this
state and have undoubtedly added consid
erably to the size of the coming yield. W hat
the growers want now lj a. period of dry,
hot weather, for otherwise! Vermin are
likely to become troublesome. In the large
and most of the smaller yards, everything
is in readiness to begin spraying should it
become necessary.
No business was reported yesterday in
either the old or the new crop. Sellers' ideas
in both lines are firm.
Cables received during the day from Eng
land and the Continent were more favorable.
The English market, according to London
dealer circulars, received by mall, is as
follows:
"Wild, Neame & Co. There is no change to
report on our market, business Is Quiet and
Values unaltered.
Manger & Henley There is a fair sprin
kling of business doing for present require
ments. Prices remain steady and unchanged.
W. H. & H. Le May There is a small
trade doing, hops being taken for consump
tion as required, Reports from the planta
tions speak of a very general attack of
aphis blight.
CHERRIES OF BETTER QCAE1TY, NOW
Crop In Local Territory AVill Be Light.
. Berries Nearly Ended.
Cherries are coming on the market more
freely, particularly from Eastern Oregon
points, and exhibit a marked improvement
in Quality. Excellent black cherries from
The Dalies offered at a range of 8 to 10
cents, according to quality, and cheaper
kinds were available at 5 to 7 cents. The
crop in the Portland district will bo light
owing to the heavy drop that resulted from
the last frosts.
The rains are likely to bring the straw
berry season to an early end. A large part
of the fruit sent in yesterday was soft and
almost unsalable. For good berries there
was a satisfactory demand and sound fruit
sold at Arm prices. On the farmers' market
berries opened at 75 cents and closed at $1.
Cantaloupes sold fairly well at $3. 304
a crate. Melons were Quoted at cents a
pound. Four cars of bananas were unload
ed in good condition.
A car of new potatoes was received from
Los Angeles. A car of new potatoes and a
car or mixed vegetables are due today.
Vegetable prices were generally unchanged.
POULTRY BCYERSJUD LOWER PRICES
Receipt s of Hens Increasing as Egg Season
fJIUS.
Instead of improving, the noultrv irm.rl-t
Is weakening. The egg-laying season is
nearly over, and an increase in arrivals on
the markot is to be expected. Buyers are
taking advantage of this .condition and
Torclng prices down as far as possible. Hen
sold yesterday as low at 12 Vi, cents, and
springs were disposed af at 20 cents. Coun
try dressed meats were fairly active and
steady.
Kggs were Arm with full prices paid for
the best candled stock. The shrinkage is
nen y. which accounts Tor the whle ranee
iii price between selected eggs and current
receipts.
No new developments wee reported in the
t'Utu-r or cheese markets. 9
Not Much Wool at Hcppner.
HEPPNER, June 19. (Special.) The
postponement of the wool sales was on ac
count of there being very few clips in the
several warehouses and the few who still
hae their wool being inclined to wait for
a better market. Buyers recognising this
fact, agreed to await the arrival of some of
the wool from the Interior, Grant and Wheel
er Counties having as yet only hauled a
small part of their product. At the sale on
the 25th practically all of the late Brrlvals
will be on hand.

JEWS TO SEE OREGON LAND
Colonizers to Visit This State During
Xext Month.
Oregon recently was selected as one
of the best states in the Union to
carry out the extensive colonization
plans which are contemplated by the
Jewish Progressive Farmers' Associa
tion of St. Louis, and a party of repre
sentatives from the headquarters of the
association will visit Oregon in the
latter part of July to look over its
agricultural land with a view to se
lecting colonizing points. Texas, Utah,
Colorado, Nevada and Oklahoma were
among other states . picked by the
association.
The association will place a colony
of 150 families in the farming sections
of the state of Oregon and the delega
tion which will come here in July
will select 3000 acres of land, or more
for the proposed colony. The delega
tion will be headed by A. M. Goodman,
of St. Louis, secretary of the associa
tion. FARM TO BE MADE TO PAY
Commissioners Believe It Ought to
Supply All County Xeeds.
Dr. James Withycombe, director of
the Experiment Station ot the Oregon
Agricultural College at Corvallis. will
take a trip with. County Commissioners
Hart, Lightner and Holman to Mult
nomah Farm Monday in order, to give
practical suggestions relative to in
creasing the productivity of the farm.
-Clearing the farm, which consists of
193a acres, was completed this Spring.
Mr. Holman has gathered figures
showing tha.t during 1912 the countv
paid for egrs. fruit, butter, milk and
vegetables for the various county in
stitutions as follows:
Multnomah Farm. $791.32: County
Hospital. $3188.96; Frazer, or Detention.
Home, $252.44.
ADVANCE IS HALTED
Pressure on Stocks Light and
Recessions Are Small.
DEALINGS ARE NOT HEAVY
Offerings Are Promptly . Absorbed
Whenever List Sells Off Union
Pacific Affected by Dissolution
GosslpIjomlon Karly Seller.
NEW YORK. June 19. The advance in
stocks of the last week was halted today
and the market developed a sagging tend
ency. Pressure was not severe, and reces
sions in most cases wore slight. The down
ward movement was .symptomatic of no
change in sentiment.
The extent of the recent rise prompted
realizing sales, to which, the market re
sponded the more readily because contrac
tion of the short interest had weakened the
technical position. Although there was no
vigorous, demand for the standard stocks,
such as had marked trading on the upturn,
offerings were promptly absorbed whenever
the list sold off. The day's business was
the smallest of the month.
Union Pacific was heavy, being Influenced
by gossip of the street regarding the forth
coming decree in the dissolution proceed
ings. The copper shares also were heavy,
reflecting unfavorable reports of conditions
in the trade.
Ontario & Western, which has been strong
recently on the anticipation of resumption
of dividends, rose an additional point fol
lowing announcement that 2 per cent would
be paid on the stock.
Foreign selling hero was a factor in the
early heaviness of the market. London dis
posed of a fow thousand shares on bal
ance. German bankers were again In this
market for money to carry them over mid
year settlements, raising their bids to 5
per cent for 00-day funds. No loans were
made at this figure.
The bond market showed a sagging tend
ency. Total sales, par value, $1,118,000.
United States bonds unchanged on call.

RETURNS ARE GOOD
Bountiful Harvest Yields Are
Reported From Kansas.
CUTTING NOW IN NEBRASKA
Missouri Crop oaid to Be of Kecord
Size Chicago . Wheat Market
Declines Under BearisJi X'cns.
Coarse Grains Down.
CHICAGO. June 19. Bountiful returns
from harvest fields In Kansas, where farm
ers thought the wheat crop almost ruined
a fortnight ago, sent the market today de
cidedly down grade. The close was weak
at a loss of 114 c to 11c net. Corn finished
Sc to Hfe-Xo off. and oats at a decline of
a shade to 4 In provisions the out
come varied from unchanged to 15c higher.
Cutting of wheat . was general today all
over Kanioa, and a little cutting has already
been done In Nebraska. The yields reached
were surprising. In addition the bears took
notice of statements that the Missouri crop
wouia oe or record size.
Seaboard clearances of wheat and flour
were equal to 283,000 bushels. Primary re
ceipts of wheat wera 855,000 bushels; a year
ago 276.000 bushels.
Official reports of continued drouth started
the corn market sharply higher, but later
private advices ot fair rains in sections of
Illinois and in the Southwest oaused prices
to break.
Selling from the large elevator comDanies
overcame an excited buvlna- flurry In oats
Lniivoraoie crop reports from important
producing states were what stimulated the
desire to purchase.
Provisions wero mainly affected bv an ad
vance in the prices of hogs. Offerings re
mained scanty until a fair improvement had
own reacnea.
