THE MORNIXG OREGOXIAX. WEDNESDAY, JULY 1, 1914.
WHEAT PRICES WEAK
Nearly AH Buyers Have With
drawn From Market.
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tically all withdrawn from the market for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:

SCPPI.Y IS LARGE AT FVR SALES.
tnmually Heavy Stock at Latest Auction
at London.
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.
It Is estimated that between 10.000.000 and
12.0O0.00U skins were sold. On a given day,
which was more or less typical, the follow
ing skins were sold: 183,000 skunk. 1SS.0O0
American opossum. 80.000 raccoons, and 3G00
civet cats. 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. Among the sundries
weie grixxly and other bears, lynxes, musk
ox, wt:d cat. emus, wallaby, wolves, kan
garoo, monkey, grebe, badgers, marmots,
leopards, and house cats. Forty thousand
house cats were catalogued lor sale.
The prices realized for skunk skins varied
rrom 24 and 4 cents to JC.81; for mus
quash and house cats from 12 to 01 cents.
In the case of skunk or rousquach sample
bundles comprising 25 skins were hung on
Ihe racks for examination to enable buyers
to estimate the value of the whole "lot"
offered, these lots varying from 400 to 500
tkunk and up to 4000 musquash. Of the
more expensive skins sable, or silver fox
the whole lot, whether consisting of one
kln or half a dozen, could be examined.
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."

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.

NEW TORK, June 30. 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,

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;
