MADRAS WOOL SOLD
Activity Is Being Transferred
to Central Oregon.
EASTERN CLIPS ARE GONE
Largest Mipply Remaining Is in
Shanlko Section, Where Million
and Half Pounds Will Be Of
fered to Buyers Xext Week.
Interest In the Orcyon wool market Is be
tng transferred from. Eastern to Central
Oregon. The next large sale will be at
Slianlko on J une 4. To growers have
about 3,500,000 pounds to offer then. Not
a- clip in that section has been sold as yet,
but around Madras the market is opening
lip. The Morrow & Keenatx clip of 75,000
pounds -was sold at Madras Saturday to
Kiiermann, of Boston, at 15 cents, and bids
were out yesterday on another lot of 40,
000 pounds. These are the only transactions
since the sale of the Bam hart wools at
Pendleton. The Madras sale will be held
on June IT. "Wools are being concentrated
there, but it Is not known how much, will
be left unmarketed by that date.
The largest supply now remaining In tbe
state Is in the Shaniko district. In the
John Day country about 500,000 pounds re
main to be sold. Heppner and Baker and
the other Eastern Oregon sections are well
cleaned up, but at Enterprise about 150,000
pounds are left and a sale will be held there
come time in the coming month.
Authorities in the wool trade estimate
that fully 75 per cent of the 1914 Oregon
clip has now been sold.
WHEAT TRADE IN" WAITING ATTITUDE
No New Crop Contracting Under Way
spot Demand Small,
The wheat market Is In a waiting atti
tude, so far as new crop contracting with
growers in concerned. The spot demand
Is of small proportions and the amount of
business passing Is unimportant. Prices are
largely nominal.
The Eastern markets were awakened yes
terday by the excellent crop prospects and
the . foreign markets were also bearish,
Liverpool registering declines of to d.
Commenting on the European situation,
lirnomhall says:
"I think prospects are favorable for a
continuance of the Increased movement from
N .rth America and Black Sea; although
expecting a large Continental demand, the
surplus available for British requirements
will probably also be fairly liberal, as the
Australian fleet is large. The Continental
demand is not only large, but it is spread
ing over every importing country, but If
tin weather remains favorable Continental
farmers will probably sell the balance of
ths old crop, thus reducing the immediate
demand fur imported wheat. This condition
may happen in France, but unlikely from
Germany, and the demand, from Germany,
augmented by th requirements from Austria-Hungary
in the near future, will ab
sorb offers. I reckon that the require
ments from Continental countries will ag
gregate 8.000.O00 bushels weekly. United
Kingdom 4,000,000 and ex-Europe 1,600,000
bushels."

OFFERS OUT FOR HOI'S OX CONTRACT
Oregon; Crop lm in Spotted Condition Call
. fornia Growers Dlbappoin ted.
Fourteen cents is being freely offered for
4 Oregon hops and a few dealers have
bid-14 H cents on contract, but growers are
:not disposed to sell. Tho spot market is
quiet , but steady.
Hop men who have been through the
Valley- sections In the past two days report
the' crop looking decide ly spotted.
Mull advices state that according to re
potts from, different parts of Sonoma Coun
ty hop growers are somewhat disappointed
over the appearance of their yards. The
hops are not growing to any extent. The
early . heat in February, followed by the
eojler weather, is said to have caused the
up to sour, and this, of course, prevents
the advance of the plant. Some growers
c.airu that they will not have a 73 per
cer.t stand.
Keporting on the New York crop, the Wa
. Urvilla Hop Reporter says: "The weather
the past week has been exceptional in that
it has been extremely favorable to the
growing vine and has enabled the growers
to attend to the tying with the utmost dis
patch. So far this season the vines have
made, very rapid progress and are in a very
healthy and .strong condition, due, probably,
in no little part to favorable conditions last
Winter."
ALL BERRIES TAKEN AT FIRM PRICES
Independent t&ananas Will Be on Market,
but No Price War.
The strawberry market jesterday followed
the same course as Vn preceding dujs, clean
ing up without trouble at firm and gradual
ly advancing prices. The best berries sold
in the afternoon at S1.50 a crate. Receipts
of other kinds of fruit were light. Local
cherries are beginning to appear in a small
a y.
For tbe first time in months Portland wili
this week have bananas that are not sup
. plied to the trade by the banana trust. Al
together nine cars will arrive on Wednesday,
of which four cars will be independent fruit.
"Of Wednesday's receipts, four cars will
be . Honduras bananas shipped by Vacarro
Bros.." said T. Pearson, who has secured the
agency in this state for the independent
bananas. "Although the Honduras bananas
are acknowledged to be superior to those
grown in Costa Rica and Guatamala, they
1II sell at the same price. There will be
no slashing of quotations and consequently
no banana war."
New potatoes are selling well at declining
prices. Two cars of garnets arrived and
were quoted at 2 -2. cents... A car of
red onions was also received.
Country Produce Receipts Light.
Country produce receipts were small and
prices were unchanged from Saturday. Hens
sold at 16 and 16 cents. Broilers were in
demand, but buyers will not take- small
sizes. Dressed meats "were steady.
The egg market was firm but no higher.
Current receipts are moving readily.
Cube and; print butter is holding steady
at prevailing prices.
" Sugar Market Firmer.
There is increased firmness in the sugar
market. Haws advanced at New York again
yesterday. Cuban reports were of rain and
the shutting down of centrals, which will
add to tbe scarcity of raw sugar.

tireater Activity In Bonds Than
Other Securities London Tone
Is More Cheerful.
NEW TORS, May 25.-ConfIicting condi
tions served to keep the atock market In
check again today.
One of the few definite developments of
tne day was a decision rendered by the
United States Supreme Court in the 'tap
line" cases upholding the original rulings
01 100 united fctates Commerce Court and
reversing the opinion of the Interstate
Commerce Commission.
In a relative sense the bond market was
more active than the stock list.
A more cheerful tone was reported by
London, but conditions on the Continent re
mained unsatisfactory, with weakness in
Berlin. Dealings here for foreign account
were trivial.
Total sales of bonds, par value, approx
imated $2,710,000. United States registered
4a gained H per cent on call.

PRICE FORGED DOWN
Prospects of Record-Breaking
Yield Sends Wheat Lower.

Harvest in Kansas and Oklahoma

by- Report or Xarger Ex
ports From Argentina.
CHICAGO. May 23. Prospects of a rec
ord-breakinir yield in Oklahoma ,i.H Van
sas forced down prices today in the active
options of wheat. Quotations of May tights
ened. but trading In ,that delivery was at
- ,ui(i. xne maraet closed somewhat
irregular. &.c net lower to V.O advance.
... .wn itie outcome varied, from c d
c-une to gain, oats wound up 4 to
l4c higher and provisions strung out from
a setback of 1517o to a rise of 6 cents.
Perfect weather conditions for ripening
w "eat crop, wmcb is now near to har
vest in Oklahoma and Kansas, more tban
offset unfavorable advices from other states,
especially Missouri, Illinois and Indiana.
.Strength was maintained only In the May
v .m. in wnica speculative trading had
come nearly to a standstill. Most of the
transactions were in the new-crop deliveries.
rnces opened off to up and then
uiierea a material setback. Advices In re
gard to the progress of the Serine eran m.
praslzed tho prevalent bearish feeling. There
a an unsettled close.
Argentine advices that
largement of exports had a weakening ef
fect on corn prices. Early demand was of
a scattering character, stocks were reported
to have diminished to as low as 2.000.000
bushels. It was also said that industrial
demand had become more urgent at some
interior points.
Provisions averaged lower on account of
a heavy break in the price of hogs. Weak
ness snowea useii tor tne most part in the
lard trade.
Continued dry weather east of the Mis
sissippi made oats relatively firm. Weak
ness or otner grain, however, prevented the
bulls from being aggressive.
