OREGON YARDS SPOTTED Cool Nights Retard Growth of Vines in Some Sections Decrease In California Is Estimated. Market Is Steady. A steady ton is maintained by the hop market. The demand is not active, but there are orders on hand and 15 cents Is obtainable for good 1912s. Bids for the new crop range from 14 to 15 cents. There are reports from some sections that the growth of the vine has been checked by the cool n I grhts,, but on the whole the plants are in healthy condition. Estimate of the 1914 crop are being made and, as usual, vary widely. The opinion is general, however, that the Oregon yield will be less by 10,000 or 20,000 bales, than last year's. On the line of the Oregon Electric between Portland and Salem most of the yards that were poor last year are doing well this sea son, in other parts of the valley, particu larly in the Independence and Rickreal sec tions and closer in on the West Side, where the yields were heavy last year, the yards are now spotted. The new acreage that is coming into bear ing this year as a rule looks fine and this may offset in a measure the decrease In the old yards. According to California reports, the Sac ramento section is doing well and will have in ore hops than last year, but the Sonoma Cilatrlct will fall down. Against last year's rrop of 117,000 bales California authorities njw figure on a yield of about 310.000 bales. The condition of the English market is Known by the following London dealers' cir culars: Wild, Neame & Co. Thre has been a slight improvement in the demand during the past few days; values are unaltered. Thornton & Manger There is rather more Inquiry, but actual business continues re stricted, and prices are unaltered. Manger & Henley Trade during the past week has again been deeldely slow, the small business doing being for present -requirements only. W. H. and H. LeMay. The market re mains In a quiet state and concessions have to be made to buyers to Induce business. Worcester Trade continues on retaij lines, the small dema-nd being mostly supplied from merchants' stocks, but 1O07 pockets of growers" hops passed the public scales this week. Supplies left In first hands are gen erally held above buyers' views, growers be ing unwilling to accept the reduced offers current. Cold weather has checked planta tion growth, and in places the young shoots have been cut down by frost. AMEJUCAX WOOI CLIP BELOW NORMAL Some Estimates Make the Domestic Short age SO Per Cent. Some wool authorities declare that the advices they have received recently from Important wool-growing sections of this country indicate that the new clip will be "0 per cent below normal, says the New York Journal of Commerce. If subsequent reports prove these statements to be correct, the statistical position of domestic wools will be strengthened in a marked degree. The reason advanced for this shortage if that many growers, believing that free wool would bring about such low prices that there would be no money in the wool-growth ir business, sold their sheep. So many sheep were uluughtered. it is stated, that the number in the hands of domestic wool growers toduy Is the smallest m many years. There are no large accumulations of old rllo domestic wools lying on the leading caboard or Interior markets. New wools ure moving steadily from Western plonts. and while the demand is not very active, the Interest taken by spinners in more than suf lloient to maintain values. One of the larg est woolen and worsted concerns Is said to be rather poorly supplied. The inquiries and purchases of this corporation alone have helped the market in no uncertain way. An unusual amount of confidence In the future Ih noticeable anions handlers of domestic v on Is. t'ANNKRS TAKE BKRRV SCRrLl'S J. oral Market Should He in Better Shape Next Week. It is likely that the strawberry market will be in better shape next week when the tanneries begin operations. At the present time the supply Is so heavy that the market, with difficulty, absorbs the surplus. Prices mi the street yesterday ranged from 75 cents to Jt.'J.'i. Kaapberriea were in better supply tind offered at 1.25. Loganberries were quoted at 1 a crate. Apricots are gradually declining as re ceipts incrense, yesterday's arrivals selling at $l.M51.7.V. A few small lots of peaches were received. - , , Vegetables were in fair supply and sold w ell. Local peas offered at ." cents. Good loval asparagus sold at (1.25 a dosen. A cm- of new potatoes and a car of red onions are due today. The street was cleaned up of the latter. WARM AVKATHER EGI.S OX MARKET Ki plains Wide Range of Prices Quoted by ealers. The effect of the- recent spell of warm weather is apparent in the quality of the current egg receipts and explains tho wide range of prices quoted by different dealers. Good eggs command 21 cents, case count, but others that do not grade up have sold as low as 20 cents. - There are also more or less culls out of candling on the market and these are offered at various prices. Closely elected stock is worth a legitimate pre mium. The poultry market was steady, with a de mand for all the hens and broilers received. Dressed veal and pork were weak. There wero no changes in dairy pro duce lines. WHEAT TRADING IS I'MMPOKTANT Oats and Barley Not Offered Freely, Though - Market Prospects Are Poor. (J rain market conditions were unchanged, trade being of small proportions and prices weak. Wheat was quoted as on the pre ceding day. Oats and barley are not being offered freely, although stocks are large and the fine crop prospects have a depressing influence on market values.

BKALS, District Forecaster. STOCK TRADE IDLE Day's Developments Fail to Affect Prices. FOREIGN NEWS BETTER Strength of Gould Issues Is Feature Qf Bond Division United States Coupon Threes Advance on Single Sale. KEW YORK. May 2S. The stock market! drifted along in idle and futile fashion again today. Various factors, such as the Mexican situation, the outcome of Missouri Pacific's entanglements, crops, railroad, earnings and foreign conditions were under review, but failed to exercise more than passing Influ ence. - Althouch the various foreign markets re ported improved conditions, London was a seller of our securities at home and ad vices from Paris pointed to a clarification of financial conditions there. The French bank plainly reflected the drain of gold from this port with its gain of over $8, 000,000. There were intimations that the recent movement is to be revived. Time money for the longer maturities stiffened, but the shorter dates and call loans were unchanged. Southern Pacific was tho only important railroad system to report April earnings, showing a net decrease of $291,000. The only feature of the bond division was the strength of the Uould issues. Total sales of bunds, par value, aggregated $1,&05,000. United States coupon gained on a single sale, but prices otherwise were un changed on call. - CLOSING! STOCK QUOTATIONS. Reported by J. C.

Alleged Failure to Turn Over 90 t beck to Mr.. H. L. Martin I. Basla of Action Brought ty Jury. Larceny by embezzlement is charged In an indictment returned by the grrand Jury yesterday against Frank F. Free man, an attorney. He Is charged with failing to turn over to Mrs. H. L. Martin $90.29 which had come into his hands for her. The indictment arose from Free man's connection with the Mutual Re serve Bond Company, of Lexington. Ky., now in the hands of a. receiver. He was designated representative of the Portland stockholders of the company, when it was taken over by court offi cials half a. dozen years ago. and as such has received, on behalf of the stockholders. - dividends which have been paid by the receiver. In August, 1911, it is charged he re ceived a check for J90.29, payable to Mrs. Martin, which he has failed to turn over to her, , it is said. Other sim ilar complaints have been received, it is said, by United States officials and District Atorney Evans. The evidence in the case against Freeman was gath ered by Federal officials investigating a fraudulent mail charge. All of the information gathered by the Federal officials was turned over to Mr. Evans for presentation to the county grand jury. Freeman has been practicing law in Portland for 15 years, and at one time was one of the leading young attorneys of the city. He married a daughter of the late Congressman Tongue, of Hills boro, but was divorced by her about five years ago. WOODMEN DECORATE HALL Preparations Being Made for Initia tion and Assembly Tonight.

VESSEL ROOM CHARTERED Black. Rust Is Discovered in Okla homa Fields Excessive Rainfall Beats Down Grain Ready for Harvest Close Is Nervous. CHICAGO, May 28. Discovery of black rust In Oklahoma carried wheat today to $1 a bushel, the highest price of the May delivery for the crop year. There was a Dervous feeling; at the cloae, which was 4c to He above last night. Corn finished He off to He tip, oats a shade to lc down and provisions at 7 to 22-c decline. Tightness in the May option . of wheat was emphasised? by the chartering- of vessel room for l.OOO.OOO bushels to be shipped here- to the Georgian Bay and Montreal. Too much rain in Oklahoma had a bullish effect on the wheat market. Many fields almosr ready for the harvest were reported to have been beaten flat to the ground by storms. Dispatches told of three Inches of rain In 24 hours, with an additional fall expected. In corn, congestion of the May delivery save signs of being at an end. . Besides there were reports that Argentine damage had been exaggerated. Relief from .drouth complaints permitted an eaBfer feeling in regard to oats. May broke almost 2 cent at one time, but rallied toward the last. Liquidating sales by packers lowered the provision market all around. Shorts brought on the decline.
