TFTTC MORNING OREGONTAN. TnURSDAT, JUNE 17, 1915. 17 MULTNOMAH MAY PLAY CALIFORNIA Berkeley School Graduate Manager Ties Up Game With Washington. STANFORD BREAK CAUSE Ralph Stroud May Stop Here Today to Close Ieal for Fall Football Game With Athletic Club. Sport Gossip Itelated. BT ROSCOE FAWCETT. Multnomah's . crack football team likely will make a trip to San Fran cisco In the Fall to battle the Uni versity of California, along with the University of Washington and perhaps one other Northwest conference col lege. This complete reorganization or gridiron affairs along the West Coast comes as a consequence of the break between Stanford and California and the discarding of Kugby football by the latter institution. Further, the California wrangle of ficially may widen the tield. because a move is now under way for the de molition of th present Northwest con ference in favor of a Pacific Coast con ference. Victor Zednick., president of the Northwest body, is out with a cir cular letter advocating Just such a re organization. Zednick believes that Oregon, the Oregon Aggies, Washington, the Wash ington Aggies and Idaho are strong enough for a Coast conference. He eays nothing about "Whitman, which ought to make a hit with Nig Borleske and other Walla Walla folk. While this official reorganization of football affairs la still many miles from consummation, intersectional games are not. Ralph Stroud, gradu ate manager at California, signed up an annual game with Washington Tues day at Seattle and he is expected in Portland today or tomorrow to confer with Dow Walker, of the Multnomah Club. Mr. Walker telegraphed him yes terday. En route South Manager Stroud is billed to stop off at Eugene and It is barely possible Oregon may add an other game o its schedule to help re vive American football in the South. The Oregon Aggies have an extremely heavy schedule as it is. but Dr. Stewart has volunteered to give California the one open date, October 23. if Stroud finds himself up against it. ... Wo do nit know whether Los Angeles kept a string on big Jim McHenry or not, but if Pop Dillon sent the big pitcher away without some sort of op tion he may be sorry befora long. McHenry has won 10 games out of 12 in the Northwestern League. Salycson, the big fellow let go by McCredie last year, has won six out of J.0 games, but he seems to be the wildest person out side the bars. Sally has walked 65 men in the 10 games or nearly six per contest. While the absence of the great Brit ish golfers. Harry Vardon, Edward Kay, George Duncan and Mayo, robs the 21st open championship of the United States Golf Association this week at Baltusrol of some of its inter national interest, the field seems to be quite heavy enough "for most of us. Most of the leading professionals of this country and Canada and some of the best amateurs are there striving for laurels. The last tournament played over the Baltusrol course was in 1903. when the late Willie Anderson scored the first of his three successive titles. Since then the course has been altered con siderably. The out round is now 3129 yards and tho incoming round 3083, making a total of 6212. -For 16 years the open title wag won by professionals of British extraction, Alex Smith being the last to win in 1910. Jack McDermott tied him that year and in 1911 secured the first win by a home-born player. McDermott repeated in 1912. and in 1913 Francis Ouimet, the Boston amateur, scored his memorable victory over the great Vardcn and Ray at Brookline. This was the first win by an amateur. Last year at Midlothian Walter Hagen, the young Rochester professional, led the field with the remarkable score of 290. Chick Evans, Jr., almost won out in the home hole by making the 300 yards in two strokes. VICTORIA QUITSTEAGUE PRESIDE5T KUGHAM THROWS IP FRAXCBTISEj FAYS OFF FLAYERS.

The result of the competition in the Tom Morris golf cup for the best score by a team of eight against par was undecided to night on account of a mixup in the scoring. The Sioux City Boat Club, of Sioux City, la., turned in a score of 19 down to par, but later it was asserted that an error had been made which could not be corrected until an official ruling had been obtained. If the Sioux City score proves to be in error the trophy apparently was won by the Los An geles Country Club for the third time.

PRUNE FUTURES OFF Prospect of Larger Crop Weakens Market. NO LATE SALES OREGONS Estimate of Northwestern Output Raised Five Million Pounds. California Packers Sell Freely at Decline; Spots Firm. The prune crops of Oregon, Washington and California will be larger than the first estimates, according to word received by packers here. They had been figuring on -a dried prune output In the Northwest of 25. 000.000 pounds, but the latest reports from the growing sections have caused them to raise their estimates' to 30,000.000 pounds. California packers are also advising their correspondents that the crop of the Southern state will be larger than was heretofore fig. ured up. Some of them have placed their estimates at 200,000,000 pounds and over. This Increase In the prospective yield, to gether with the absence of export demand, has caused a weaker market. Packers in the Northwest have done a very limited amount of business in futures, owing to the heavy trading In the California crop, which has been and is being sold at exceedingly low prices. The local packers now find It Im possible to get orders at the prices at which a few sales were made earlier In the season. In fact, practically nothing can be done at the present time. A trade report from New York says of the offers: "Reports from the Northwest bring the advice that Oregon Italian prunes for future delivery are being offered at a 3c basis for equal qualities of 30s and 40s In some quarters. This figure Is slightly below the last quotation made for the present season's crop. Previous .prices have listed future Oregon prunes on a 5e basis and a 3c basis, according to packer. Advices received in some quarters from the Coast show that there is still about 200,000 pounds of old stock left on the market In the Northwest, but others declare that spot holdings are cleaned up. "There Is a tendency all along the line, according to prominent brokers, toward a greater activity In spot California prunes, and prices are showing a decided inclina tion to advance, particularly on the Inter mediate and smaller counts. Everything be low 50s la in very light supply. Nineties and smaller are saldT to be almost unobtain able. "There have been several inquiries from abroad as to the condition of the New York market, though European sales are not re ported from many sources as yet. The ex port business done has covered but a few thousand boxes, but there is continued in quiry, and a large business might be done if supplies for immediate shipment were available. With the strengthening of the markets, London brokers will probably send In orders to fill demands which they will be forced to meet for Continental orders. "The general Impression of the spot mar ket was a noticeable strengthening in the prices and demand. It was almost a unan imous verdict that the California spot mar ket was going up and that better prices would be obtained within the nest few days." "EW WOOLS ARK HELLING IN EAST Territory Lines Are Beina- Opened on Lim ited Scale. Eastern trade papers estimate the wool turnover in the past week at about 3.500.000 pounds, activity in Australian and Cape supplies accounting to a great extent for the fairly liberal movement. Aside from the business in foreign wools, the interest has attached to the opening of lines of new territory grades to a limited extent and a few moderatesized sales of such domestic clips. Included in the transfers at Boston are 50,000 pounds of half-blood and 100.000 pounds of three-eighths blood, also a third lot similar to the second. The business In territories so far has been comprised prin cipally of Utah clips. The foregoing busi ness is estimated to show a scoured basis of 03 cents for the half-blood and 64 to 65 cents for the threeelghths-blood wooL A good-sized lot of Utah wool in the original bags has changed hands at 24 cents in the grease, the scoured basis being estimated at 65 cents. Dealers holding territory wools have begun to open and show them when ever manufacturers have shown enough in terest to warrant such action. Dealers have made further efforts to dis pose of the remaining unsold stocks from the 1914 clip of fleec wool. HIGHER PRICES PAID FOR WHEAT August Delivery Is Quoted for First Time en Loral Board. Wheat prices were bid up again at the Merchants Exchange yesterday. Five thou sand bushels of prompt club were bought at 91 cents, an advance of 3 cents over the offered price of Tuesday. Other bids were at advances of 14 to 4 cents, except In the case of July fife, which was 3 cents lower. August delivery of wheat appeared on the boerd for the first time. Bids for the white varieties were at 83 to 85 cents and 80 1 certs was offered for red. The only August sellers were of red Rufialan at 87 cents. The Chicago wheat pit bad an estimate that North - America would produce 1.250, 000,000. bushels of wheat with an export sur plus of 4(0.000,000 eushels, but this did not prevent the Chicago market from ad vancing about 2 cents.

The berry market continued weak yester day under a very large supply. Loganberries were quoted at 7500c and raspberries gen. erally at Jl. Black caps opened at tl.25 1.50. but will probably be cheaper In the near future. A limited supply of straw berries was on hand and sold at tl.251.50. Cantaloupes were the active feature of the fruit trade, good stock selling at t2.50 to t3-25. There was not much demand for melons. Apricots sold well at 91 1.10. Peaches dragged. Tomatoes were In larger supply. Merceds sold at tl&110 In small boxes and at t2 2.3o In lugs. Four-basket crates brought t22.23. Plenty of Oregon beans are now arriving and receipts from California are decreasing. Oregon green beans are offer ing at 910c and wax at S8c Peas sold on the early farmers' market at 34c ENGLISH Responds HOP MARKET IS STRONGER to Prospecta of Smaller Crop. Local Demand. The foreign hop market Is gaining In strength, but a yet there has been no im provement on the Pacific CoaBt. The fol ic wing cable was received yesterday from Mangel' & Henley, of London, in reply to a request for information as to English crop prospects, acreage and market conditions: "Aphis attack light. Washing Is general. Cannot forecast crop at this time. Acreage less than last year. Market very firm. Stocks low." It Is known that the hop acreage on the continent has also been reduced and it is equally certain that England will buy no hops of German or Austrian growth, even if transportation Is possible. The needed supply above her own production will haveJ to be bought in the United States, as Bel glum this year Is eliminated as a hop growing country. The Grlndy lot of 70 bales at Sllverton was bought yesterday by Louis Lachmund at too or KHc. There were other export orders on the market. MALHEUR WOOL GROWERS HOLDING Prices Now Being Offered by Buyers Not Satisfactory. VALE. Or.. June '16. (Special.) Wool sales at Juntura and Ontario the past two weeks were small and prices unsatisfactory. Most growers are preparing to hold their fleeces, as money is easily obtainable at the various banks for the purpose. Fine grades are hot in great demand. The European governments are taking a vast amount of material of courser grades, but growers here contend that the Australian shortage In all grades must be made up from this country and Argentina and that the clip in both places shows nothing to warrant any other than a high price. Considerable Interest Is shown In the Port land warehouse propositions and next sea son may see a vast amount of wool turned toward Portland tor shipment to the Eastern markets. It Is claimed that a saving of tS per ton can be effected by shipping to Port land and e&st via the Panama Canal. CANNED SALE.MON PRICES REDUCED Tails Lowered 5 Cents and Flats 10 Cents Compared With Last Year. ASTORIA. Or., Juno 16.

Veal Prices Are Reduced. High veal prices did not hold long. The country sent In a supply that was excessive and a 2-cent drop in the market was the result. Pork In the meantime Is holding steady.

Tota: sales of stocks amounted to 313,000 shares. Although foreign exchange was again de moralized, with new low rates between this center and London and Paris, this feature of the financial situation was less of a fac tor than on the previous day. Early rates on London suggested greater steadiness, an other consignment of $2,500,000 from Canada contributing to that end, but later, when pressure of commercial bills again became strong, demand sterling fell to 4.76 Vi, and cables to 4.TT. In each Instance a decline of Vs per cent from the low rates of yesterday was established. Paris exchange broke to 5.46 V4 for checks, a weakening of of a cent from yesterday's low record quotation. Reichsmarks and lires continued to move favorably to this market, but offerings' of bills on Berlin and Rome were very light. .

Frost Damage la Spring Crop Region Is AIse Feared Western Eu rope Reports) Drouth. CHICAGO, June 18. Worse delays for harvest In the Southwest, with a recur rence of frost In the Spring crop region. gave a sharp upturn today to the price of wheat.

Unexpected wet weather, which would add to the difficulties of, gathering the yield in Kansas and adjoining states tended to make sentiment still more bullish. Tardi ness of growth in North Dakota and Can ada, owing to new frost damage last night. counted further against the bears and so also did reports of drouth in Western Europe. A good deal of attention was given to samples of Winter wheat from Car rolton. Mo., badly infected with black rust. Advices were that charters had been made for 4,000,00 0 bushels from North Russia to Franca Shorts were free buyers of corn. The chi-ef reason was wet weather over the great part of the belt, with predictions of more. Country offerings were small, owing largely to the poor start of tbe new crop. Oats hardened, mainly in response to a good demand from the seaboard. Rank growth and a tendency to lodge was re ported from various sections. Provisions rose with hogs and grain.
