QUOTATIONS ARE NOMINAL Farmers 'ot Pressing Sales in View of Inactive State ot Trade. Foreign Exchanges Are Depressed. Wheat buyers In the Northweet have prac tically all withdrawn from the market for the tlma being. No quotation! on the new crop were available yesterday, but 7T cents was riven as the nominal -value 01 cmo The foreign markets were depressed. A: Liverpool declines ranged from 1 to ld r-inoM nn nassaae were quoted I'A to Si lower. Closing prices at Chicago were not materially changed from Monday. Juiy wheat closed there at 77T4 cents, as com pared with a quotation of S04 cents on the same day last year and 11.09 ii on the last day of June two years ago. Pending a clearer view of the future, local wheat trad- nnt in m. Titnnd to make commit ments. At the same time farmers are not pressing sales and Inactivity, therefore, pre- ...il. nil alnno- lha llTIM. In the barley market contracting has also been slow, not much spot oariey is ucius offered, and the market Is steady. Oats are quiet at the prices that have prevailed for the past month. Crop pros pects are good and there is no disposition to engage in speculative buying. Supplies I.. . V, arm mil(.h reduced, but UierS are still large quantities of oats held here that will probably Dring less man mo ers paid for them. The hay market is slack and rather weak. Prices are being barely maintained. Reports from the valley are that a good deal of oat and vetch hay was bleached by rain. Local receipts in cars were reported by the Merchants Exchange as follows: Wheat Barley lour uais nay Vtnnrt. 9 21 14 Tuesday 1 - 7 Yarago 11 IS 3 2 9 Portland receipts for the cereal year com pare as follows: Season Wheat Barley Flour Oats Hay 1913-14 157S9 2S22 2879 17.15 2770 1912- 13 174:.3 2412 2S68 2365 J911-12 13500 391 252S 1595 2833 1918-11 1192T 714 iibi 965 3030 1909-10 9T.1S 1314 2217 1282 332 1908-09 10539 1542 l.! 835 2S33 Shorts Feed Bran Midds.

The most important fur sales In London are held In the Spring. At the recent sales tile stock was larger than usual, chiefly I i cause the next most Important Continental ojntry Imported less than Its customary supply, reports Consul-General Loop. In all.

The numbers offered differed, of course, from day to day; as many as 430.000 skunk skins were catalogued for sale In one day. and 2,500.000 musquash on an other. Of the latter, 4,500.000 were offered during the sale. The kinds of skins chiefly In demand this year were those- already mentioned and foxes; other kinds, such as sable, seal, mink, and beaver, were not so eagerly sought, al though considerable numbers of them were catalogued for sale.

The prices realized for silver fox ranged from S24S to $2141 per skin. ALL CROPS MAKE GOOD PROGRESS Heather In Past Week Beneficial Except to May and Vegetables. The weekly Oregon weather and crop summary of the Weather Bureau follows: "The first half of the week was showery and cool. The rains that fell during this period were on the whole very beneficial, although they delayed tiaying and damaged some hay that was cut and being cured on th ground. During the middle of the week the nights were unusually -oooliand-" frost formed in a few places in the central portion of the itate. "This frost did o harm except to gardens, which were badly Injured by It. During the last half of the week the weather was dry and higher temperatures prevailed. All crops during this period made splendid progress. "Fan wheat In th Willamette Valley hows large heads of well-nlled grain and the farmers In all portions of the state are with very few exceptions weir pleased with the present outlook. "Early peaches from Jackson County will be in the market within a week or ten days." TRADE IX WATERMELONS IS BRISK Cantaloupes Also Sell Well, but at Low Price. Two cars of cantaloupes, one of water melons and one of mixed fruits were re ceived yesterday. Melons and cantaloupes were in strong demand, but prices were low. Deciduous fruits sold at steady quotations. Oregon peaches were more plentiful and brought 60 to 75 cents. Some of The Dalles peaches were of fine quality, but were in jured by being poorly packed. - California peaches ranged m price from 65 to 90 cents. The berry trade was poor and prices were easier for all kinds. There were practically no buyers for strawberries. pOCfcTBT PRICES BARELT STEADY. Egg Receipts Have Fallen Off Sharply Veml Is Weak. There were no changes in poultry yes .erday. but prices were no more than steady, ts receipts were fully equal to the de r.and. - There was a weaker feeling in veal, and 12 cents was quoted as the top.

For the first time since the Claflin failure, the stock market today gave earnest evidence of its ability to respond to favorable conditions, and much of the loss incurred since last Thursday was regained. Factors contributing in greater or lesser measure were the more encouraging crop advices, the large interest and dividend dis bursements aggregating 24 1,000,000, wnicn stimulated a moderate Investment demana, and another drOD in exchange, putting fur ther frold exports beyond the probability of immediate resumption. 7 Bonds were irregular.

LOW LEVEL TOUCHED Chicago Wheat Sells at Bottom Price of Season. MARKET LATER RALLIES Uneasiness Over Continued Com plaints of Too Much Moisture In Northwest Moves Prices Up ward Coarse Grains Down. CHICAGO, June 30. Uneasiness over con tinued complaints of too much moisture in the Spring crop belt rallied the wheat mar ket today after prices had fallen to the lowest level yet this season. The close was steady at the same as last night to a shade advance. Corn finished & off to 1-16 up. oats down Italic and provisions vary ing from lc decline to a rise of TAa. Lower cables had a depressing effect on wheat. The market received but little sup port, and as a result all deliveries dropped. Reports that unwelcome showers continued in the Northwest checked the decline. After starting $phta to 1440 under last night quotations 'steadied slightly above the open ing range. Hedging sales and a bearisff crop estimate hindered considerably the devel opment of power to rally. Corn sagged with wheat because of rains in some sections where needed. About the only buying was by shorts. The opening, which was varied from e to c down, was followed by a slight further decline. Prices subsequently reacted because of rest ing orders to buy on the break. Oats reflected the weakness of other grain. The July option especially showed a lack of strength. Commission house selling eased off pro visions. Firmness in the hog market was virtually ignored. The leading futures ranged as follows; WHEAT. Open. High. Low. Close. July .76 .774 .76 I -77T.
