FOKTLAM) MARKET QUOTATIONS
Hide markets in ths East have taken a
drop, because of the withdrawal of tanners
but local dealers have made no changes In
their prices. They look for quiet trade for
the. next two or three weeks. They are not
anticipating any serious decline nor is there
anything- in the situation at present to war
rant belief in higher prices. With the re
sumption of Fall buying by tanners, how
ever, the market may take on a different aspect.
Reviewing- the depression in the Eastern
tilde markets, a trade report just received
from Chicago say:
"There Is an easier market prevailing on
II -varieties of hides, with weakness becom
ing quite apparent in domestic packer and
rountry stock and a, generally slow demand
for all descriptions of foreign and domestic
kinds.
"dales in the Chicago packer market have
aeen few and far between and such lots of
any size as have moved have been at con
cessions from prices previously talked by
holders. Quotations are not actually any
lower, but the easiness of the market is
demonstrated in the fact that packers are
celling their hides at the same rates as
were secured for June salting, after holding
these for several weeks at advances of from
He to lc on account of the improved quality
and condition of July over June takeoff.
"The principal happening of 1-ate tn packer
hides occurred in the New Tork market.
-where sales were made of spready native
-steers aggregating 86 carloads and including
salting ahead to next January. The prices
realized on these sales were 25e for April,
?ks for May, 27c for June and December,
and 27ic for July to November, inclusive
ealtlng.
"Country hides are easing down In price
and dealers who awhile ago were securing
up to 20c for monthly long-haired buffs and
asking 21c for late salting lots are now sell
lng buffs running half short hair at 39c,
ani offering all short-hatred at as lo
as 20c.
"Some pales were made in Chicago to sole
leather tanners of about 15,000 country hides
at 19c for 4 5-lb. and up, buffs and heavy
cows together running from 40 to 60 per
cent short-haired, and at 10c for some 60-lb.
and up heavy cows alone that were practi
cally all long-haired.
"The strongest feature of the entire mar
ket is calfskins. The season is over for these
and buyers are bidding high prices to secure
such little lots ss are obtainable.

Conservative Dealers Believe Top Values
Have Been Reached,
The check to advancing wool prices, suf
fered by some of the lower grades at the
London sales, just ended, is causing specu
lation as to whether or not wool prices have
reached the extreme top In the world's mar
ket. In commenting on the subject, a Bos
ton authority says:
"Among conservative wool Interests here
the question has been raised whether th
top. has not been reached in the matter of
values. The strong upward tendency of
. prices for some time has brought the mar
ket to such a level that the movement of
wool Is expected to show an effect therefrom
before long. Yet no lack of strength is ap-
Tiarent. the past week giving evidence of
this circumstance in further advances. One
thing which leads to the conclusion that the
trend may be at its limit, however, is that
yrices are so high as to make manufacturers
backward about buying for future needs,
The mark of 05 cents for Austrslian comb
lng wools, which has been attained in sales
.here, is one which takes away any Induce
went to opcrat, according to authorities.
"On the other hand, the next available
source of wool Is the South American mar
ket. The fact that all possible supplies
from the West are in sight and that wools
cannot be expected from outside markets
other than South America leaves the buyers
dependent upon what already is in sight and
this circumstance makes for continued
strength, if not greater. All staple wools
in particular are strong, both foreign nd
domestic, ths scarcity enhancing their value.
The scarcity of such wools. In addition, is
reacting favorably upon other grades.
which manufacturers have turned because of
the shortage of the former. The result is
that ths whole movement of wool is de
vloplng along generally satisfactory lines
for the trade here."
BIG BLOCK. OF OLD WHEAT IS SOLD
Tt'exr Crop Bluestem Changes Hands at Good
Advance.
Five thousand bushels of September blue
stem were sold at the Merchants' Exchange
yesterday at $1.04 ft. This price U 24 cents
over the best bid for new bluestem on the
preceding day and represents a similar gain
over the last previous sale, which was on
July 22. lit da ' for other varieties of new
wheat were raised 1 cent over Thursday's
price.
With the setback received by the Chicago
market, the East was not so keen to buy
Northwestern wheat yesterday. There has
been no buying of consequence lately for
any other account, aside from some mill
purchases. A block of 65,000 bushels of
Big Bend bluestem and some Turkey was
sold at full .prices, but the disposition to
sell in the country was not general.
fradstreets estimates united States ax
ports this week at 7,600,000 bushels of
whest and 1,431,100 bushels of corn.

Crop Losses in Spring Grain Belt

Below Seven-Year Average
in Opinion of Expert.
CHICAGO. July 2. Despite the fact that
wheat at cne time today touched the highest
price this season, the market, except m me
first hour, was on the downgrade. Bears
made much of assertions by a prominent ea
pirt that crop losses would perhsps not re
duce the yield In the Dakota and Minnesota
much under a seven-year a.verage. The close
was weak, lc to lo net lower, with Sep
tember $1.214 lMi and December $1.2dH.
Corn finished lHc off to 4HC up, oats e
down to Hc UP and provisions un-
Fhimd ta 15c his; ner.
ConMdersble Interest was taken by wheat
traders in the circumstance that many esti
mates of damsge In the Nqrthwest were
found on comparisons with last year's ab
normally large crop. The total yield of
the Dakotas and Minnesota In 191 o was 2-
oOO.OOO bushels, whersv a 10-year average
for the three states is about l3i.ojo,v)uu
bushls.
Corn varaes awayed a good deal Xn sym
pathy with wheat.
Oats were relatively easy throughout ths
gssslon.
Higher quotations on hoga gave firmness
to provisions.
Leading futures ranged as, follows:
WHEAT.
Prunes will be a heavy crop. Apples fair
crop Onions doing well.

Corvaliis, Or. Fall wheat already hr

badly damaged by rains during cutting.
Hops average crop on new vines; 50 per cent
short on old vines, peaciwts and prunes above
the average
Eugene, Or. Hay and grain not badly
damaged by rain, will have about BO per cent
