COFFEE TRADE BIG
Advancing Prices Go
Heavy Movement.
With
BRAZILS ARE UP ONE CENT
Sun Francisco Market Active at
Higher Scale of Quotations.
Local Roasters May Soon
Raise I4st Prices.
Sine ' the last report the has been
great movement In coffee throughout all
the markets of the world. Since the begin
ning of April, the Brazil market has been
gradually advancing; and today the advance
amounts to 1 per cent per pound on all
grades. As previously stated, the advance
on high-grades, owing to their scarcity, (ls
much greater.
There is no certainty yet as to what the
outcome of the Brazil crop will be, but th3
crop Is late from two to three weeks, and as
Brazil has probably arranged Its financial
difficulties, this has enabled the holders to
carry their coffee and get the higher prices
now prevailing.
The stock In Santos and Rio is much less
now than at this time last year. The
world's visible supply is somewhat greater
than It was at this time last year, but
good part of this is held in Europe by the
valorization committee. No doubt some of
this coffee -will be sold this year, but In all
likelihood only a small quantity.
San Francisco reports the heaviest sales
within the last two weeks that they have
had in any equal length of time in a num
ber of years. Prices had advanced there ac
cording to grade from to l4c per pound,
and much of the coffee has been shipped to
the Middle West, owing to the shortage of
fancy grades.
There Is always a possibility that the mar
ket may ease up a little when new coffees
begin to pour into Santos and Rio, but it Is
hardly likely, if finances are In fairly good
. shape,- that this will cause any particular
break In. the market.
The present condition of the market on
all grades shows an advance of at least 1
cent per pound, and it will probably
necessitate a slight advance in the selling
price of Toasted coffees, although as yet none
of the manufacturers have advanced their
prices.
HIDES ARE FIRM, BUT SLOWER TO SELL
Eastern Tanners Are Displaying Small In-
terest In Market.
The local' hide market maintains a gen
erally firm undertone, but trading is not
very active.' ' Calfskins are the only weak
feature.
In the East, according to mail reports,
country hides are steady to firm for all
varieties, but trade is quiet. Tanners are
showing very little Interest, but on the other
hand, supplies are small, not only in the
larger market centers, but throughout all
country districts as well.
At Chicago there is a steady call for
packer hides, particularly late salting native
steers and cows and light average branded
hides. Prices remain generally strong, with
full rates paid on latest sales and May salt
ing native steers and all-weight native cows
of current and future takeoff well sold up.
The demand centers on .light average stock
and late takeoff, and an advance of Uc has
been paid for May native steers, several
lots selling up to 18ic. On the whole,
branded hides are not in the demand that
native stock is. - z.
CANNERIES TAKING STRAWBERRIES
Local Market for Shipping Stock Is linn.
Cantaloupes Arrive Green.
The strawberry market was firmer yes
terday. The canneries are taking the sur
plus. . and there was a shortage of good
shipping stock. Prices were 20 cents higher
on the early growers' market. Shipping
uerrles brought $1 on the street. Local rasp,
berries were received and sold at i50 a
crate.
'A. car of cantaloupes arrived by freight,
and like the first car the fruit was green,
l'rlces ranged from 4 to S4.50. Another car
will arrive today and a car is also due Sat
urday. Eight cars of bananas were unloaded, four
or them trust fruit, and four from the op
position. A car of Florida tomatoes arrived in bad
order. The first car of Mississippi tomatoes
lias been ordered out and will leave Crystal
Springs Monday. It is probable that only
one car of Mississippis will be brought to
Portland this year, as the California season
is early and tomatoes are about ready to
ship from that state in car lots.
A car of California yellow onions was re
ceived and a car of red onions from Red
Bluff will be in today. A car of Garnet
Chiles is also due this morning, making the
fourth car tnls week.
KNGTilSH HOPS MAKE GOOD START
Vines' Have Strong Stand and Are Healthy.
Belgian Conditions.
The English hop crop has made a good
start, according to the Kentish Observer of
May 21, which says: "From our own Inspec
tion of a large number of Kentish hop plan
tations and from reports to hand from
growers It Is evident that the plants have
made an exoellent start, generally speak
ing. The bine is coming away very strong
and healthy and gives promise of doing ex
ceedingly well. In a few places some fly
have been seen.'
A letter from Alost,' dated May 16, says
of the Belgian crop: "The weather has been
favorable to the growth and the further
development of the hop plants, which are
seven to nine feet high: In the Alost dis
trict five to six feet, Alost hops are a later
variety. I made a tour yesterday ana
found some aphis fly here and there, but
untu now mis visitation is of a sporadic
character. It has, however, given some
more confidence to the holders and the
contract market has become slightly firmer;
deals for September-October being Ss to
10s worth more money."
SALES OF OREGON WOOL AT BOSTON
Manufacturers Less Disposed to Operate at
Higher Prices.
Among the sales of new Oregon wool on
the Boston market, according to advices
received, was a quantity of fine staple at
the clean basis o( E8 to 60 cents. Some
dealers are disposed to hold out for 61 and
62 cents. Oregon half-blood Is quoted there
at C7 to S8 cents and three-eighths at 48 to
00 cents. The Boston Transcript says:
"Some quarters report less eagerness by
mills to take Vie new wools at prices which
niust be asked to allow a profit on the late
purchases. Manufacturers are In a very
difficult position. It Is reported that 'large
contracts have been recently placed on the
other side for tops and yarns, while import
tatlons have been steadily Increasing. As
the season progresses the competition from
abroad becomes more pressing. The coming
lightweight season Is likely to see an active
Hght for the control of American markets."
BUTTER STOCKS CLEAN CP WELL
Price May Hold at Present Level All This
- Week.
The bntter market was steady. Prints and
cubes are being cleaned np at current quo
tations and there may be no change in the
market before the hot, dry season arrives.
The bottom prices of the year have no
doubt been seen, and the next change will
he npward. Cheese was steady at the old
Urioe.
Supply and demand are even In the egg
saarkst and price are quoted as formerly.
r-omiry receipts wars ea a liberal scale
and the demand was fairly good. Hens sold
generally at liH cents. Large broilers
brought 25 to 27 cents, but email ones were
hard to move at 22 cents. Dressed meats
continued weak.
TIMELY RAIN'S IX WHEAT SECTIONS
Local Grain Trade Is Small and Fricea Are

Market Is Irregular.
NEW YORK, June 4. Speculation suffered
today from lack of stimulus and the stock
market waa a dull' affair. Nevertheless,
there was a good undertone and a degree of
improvement eventually was achieved.
The inquiry came principally from pro
fessional traders and outside interest lan
guished. During the early session, the mar
ket was held back by weakness of New
Raven and Lehigh Valley, , which again
proved to be susceptible to pressure. They
began to recover before noon. The. whole
list picked up with them and a general ad
vance followed.
Various specialties and seasoned dividend-
paying Issues, Including Canadian Pacllio,
New York Central, Delaware & Hudson,
Can. Harvester and Beet Sue-ar were orom-
(nent in the rise.
American stocks made a good snowing in
London and foreign buying, amounting to
perhaps 10,000 shares, was a considerable
factor in stiffening the list. ,

IUMPER CROP FORECAST
SPECULATORS TCBS BEARS IN
WHEAT MARKET, '
Enormous Yields Promised In Nebraska,
Kanssus and Oklahoma Rust
Scare Vanishes.
CHICAGO, June 4. Extraordinary promise
of a bumper crop in Nebraska, Kansas and
Oklahoma had much to do today with caus
ing speculators to turn to the hear side in
wheat. The dread of a black rust scare
flattened out and cables were disappointing
to the bulls. Closing prices were steady, but
awtoc to liltoc under last night. Corn
showed a net decline of 34 c to 34lo and
oats of o to c In provisions th
outcome varied from Z34C off to a like
advance.
Favorable weather over the entire do
mestic Winter and Spring crop regions put
the wheat market under considerable selling
pressure. The bears had a further advan
tage in the fact that Liverpool quotations
showed no response to yesterday's advance
on this side of the Atlantic. Besides Okia-
oma dispatches said that although rust
spores were manifest, no damage had yet
become acnaxsAi, frceaaou sX l'Cgsr world
shipments were reported and there were
welcome rains In the Canadian Northwest. ,
Heavy and cheaper offerings from Argen
tina put the corn market under Dresaure.
Oats declined with com and wheat and by
reason of good crop reports.
Higher prices for hogs upset the provision
mantel.
The leading futures ranged as follows:

lished range. Lambs figured more promi
nently than other kinds and brought from
$5 to 86. The best ewes offered ,went at
