FIRST PRICES HOLD
Prune Packers Stand by Orig
inal Quotations.
-EASTERN TRADE IS WAITING
-Ao Contracts Are Bein Closed With
Growers in Xorthwest Renewal
or Import Inquiries Is Re
ported From New York
Although trade with the East In new-pack
prunes Is at a standstill, both la the Morth
nest and in California, packers are standing
pat on their original quotations. Contract
Ins with c rower In this section has also
'from the Kast.
There has been a renewal of export in
quiry in the Eastern market, accordins to
trade advices received rom "Sew York, and
' if the offers made on several lines are ac
cepted, it will meat material reduction In
stocks in that market.
Regarding the California Association and
Its operations, as viewed by the New York
trarle, the Journal of Commerce says:
"That the Prune Association is not having;
nlain :iillr(y fa trwl reirl Vtv mttil nrivit-09
beln (f received here. There is, for instance,
dlnsatlsfact ion reported anion; Yolo County
(California.) growers, who claim that the Go
price was too low and tha they have been
offered ti'.ic or more for their prunes. Mem
bers of the trade here say. however, that
thee advices can hardly be taken at their
lace value without some understanding of
conditions hack of them. The fact that
the association price of a Go base covers
ail counties alike gives Santa Clara an ad
vantas as there is usually a differential
In favor of that county. Consequently, buy
rs will insist on Santa Claras, which would
be exhausted first and, with a bumper crop
In tlie st ate, would leave the bulk of the
surplus made up of prunes of other counties.
There has eeu some talk, however, of the
association solving this problem by establish
ing standard grades which would place all
prunes on a tie fin it basis.
"Jobbers who have received their con
tracts from the Prune Association are rather
disconcerted to find that an attempt is being
made to introduce an additional clause by
means of a rubber stamp which states that
'the guarantee is not effective on change of
prii-e on -order, or at request of. the Federal
Oovernment or authorities, or in the event of
any embargo on prunes or apricots by the
Vniied States or any important foreign gov
ernment.' The- general view was that, lnas-
.rnnlmeli w r R!i'tif(1 nnd U ithniit thft con-
Sent of the other party, it was of no effect.
-Otherwise the guarantee against the asso
ciation's own decline until January 1 would
ibe nullified, inasmuch as there is an official
embargo, not only in force by the United
States, but by some of the foreign govern
ments, the Importance of which, theie can be
no doubt,"
JUXLFEED rillCKS AGAIN ADVANCE
JLocal and Shipping Demand Is Stronger and
Stocks Much Keduced.

mill feed stronger and stocks reduced to a
"low point, another advance of (I a ton was

NET HUN IS SLIGHT
St. Paul Shares Little Affected
by Dividend Cut.
STOCK MARKET IS NARROW
Motors and Marines Only Promi
nent Issues to Record Wide De
clines on Day's Trading.
Bonds Are Irregular,
XEW YORK, July 6. All records for
stock market dullness thus far this summer
were broken today, dealings barely exceed
ing 300,000 shares. Of this slender total
stvels and the more prominent war Issues
and shippings supplied over two-thirds.
The action of St. Paul directors in re
ducing the semi-annual dividend, from
to 2 per cent did not become known until
almost the close of the day. The cut. occa
sioned no surprise, having been foreshadowed
in the heaviness of the stock for weeks
past.
St. Paul fell to 68, an extreme decline of
1U points on the news, but immediately ral
lied, scoring a slight net gain. More than
ordinary interest attached to the decision of
the St. Paul board, however, because of the
prominence of the dominant interests and
the probable effect upon other roads whose
recent earnings have been more or less dis
appointing. Movements of stocks, except In motors,
shippings and a few speculative issues,
where recessions ran from 1 to almost 4
points, were extremely narrow. United
states fteel was a case In point, fluctuating
between 122 and 121. closing at 121. a
gain or point.
Bonds were irregular, large blocks of the
liberty issue changing hands at H9.44 to 00.47.
Total sales, par value, aggregated $2,WGU,0OO.
United Sta.tes bonds were unchanged on call.

Cooler Weather Improves Situation in
'Willamette Valley Camas I'rairio
Outlook Is Good.
Crop conditions, as reported to W. C.
Wlikes, assistant general freight and 'pas
senger ngent of the Spokane. Portland &
Seattle Railway Company follow:
Krom C;neral Superintendent Davidson,
July 24: "The outlook between Metulius and
Bend is most discouraging.
"Culver will not have to exceed 25 per cent
of lust year's crop. Talked with two farmers
today who will not take out their machinery
even, as grain is not high enough to cut.
"Opal City practically tlie same as Culver.
'Redmond figures on 45 per cent of last
year's crop. Last week hot winds did a
great deal of damage, thermometer register
ing 11)2 to 107 degrees. They are now pay
ing $17 per ton lor hay, and that is not
plentiful.
"Ber.d, very little grain shipped from this
station.'
From W. P. Powers, traveling freight and
passenger agent Spokane. Portland A: Seat
tle and Oregon-Eastern railways, from Sa
lem, July 2o: "Days are cooler In W:l!amette
and Tualatin valleys, but ratu is needed for
all crops. Conditions along Kornst tjrove
branch and In territory north of WIIsonviKe
are not as bad as in districts between Salem
nd Woodburn or south of Salem and Al
bany. There will be a large Increase In
Lay in Tualatin Valley, crop beini; 125 per
cent of normal crop. Fall wheat look fine,
some of which Is being harvested. Early
Spring wheat and oats in good condition, but
this Is critical period for wheat, which is
going from milk into dough. Farmers are j
confident same will fill without moisture,
but rain would add many bushels to the '
crop. Late Spring oats are being cut for
hay In most sections account being thin
and heading out short. Beans are bloom
ing and in good condition, as are also late
potatoes, but' rain needed Immediately. Lo- 1
gan berries are being scorched by hot 1
weather, causing large decrease in crop. If
we get a good rain this week reports from
this territory will not be so discouraging,
and with rain soon, believe we will have
st least C5 per cent normal crop on aver
age." From J. T. Hardy, traveling freight and
passenger agent Spokane. Portland & Seat
tle and Oregon Trunk railways, Lyle. Wash.,
July 24: I talked to several of the larger
farmers at Warwick, and they advised me
that their crops are a great deal better than
they were last year. There is double the
acreage out in that vicinity, and by the
looks of things they will all have -good crops
this year. A lot of the farmers do not give
correct reports as to their grain crop as H
shows up around Warwick that way. The
crop all through that country clear up and
Including Goldendnle and Centerville, looks
good and there will be a third more grain
to be shipped than there was last year.
The weather has changed and there is a
cold wind blowing, and I have been advised
that this will have a tendency to fill out
the grain, etc. t
From R. S. Brown. Fpokane. Portland &
Seattle- Railway, Spokane, July 23: "The
rainfall of the 17th was not sufficient to
be of any benefit to crops. Some fields of
Fall wheat are slightly burned, but most of
the Vail grain is past the stage where It
can be harmed by winds, and the cutting
will start about the last of next week. Con
dition of Spring grain and peas Is grow
ing worse dally and rain must come soon to
save the later-sown crops. Oats which were
sown after June 1 will not make enough
straw to thresh, and will "make very poor
hay. While at Lewiston I learned that the
crops on Camas Prairie are not particularly
hurt at the present time. While the straw
Is short the grain is heading out in fairly
good shape, and conditions can remain as
at present for ten days without beginning
to hurt the crops to any great extent. The
bean crop is in excellent condition and, a
very lare crop is expected. Business in
general is quiet, but I do not see that the
farmer has tightened up in his purchases to
any great extent. lie realizes that while
the chances are good for only 50 per cent
of last year's crop ho is practically assured
of double the price that he received for
Ills grain last year, 75 per cent of the farm
ers having sold for $1 a bushel or less.'
From W. G. Paine, general freight and pns
senger agent Spokane, Portland & Seattle
Railway, Spokane, July 23. "No apparent
change in crop conditions. Continued cooler
weather has stopped burning of grain to
certain extent and barring damage lo grain
In dry belt the conditions are ideal. Every
one hopeful that general results will be
more satisfactory than anticipated.
From J. T. Hardy, traveling freight and
passenger agent Spokane, Portland and Se
attle and Oregon Trunk railways. Bend.
July 25: "The Centerville and Goldendale dis
tricts looking better, duo to cooler weather
and winds. Crojs look good now around
that country. Heading commenced. Central
Oregon still looking bad, account no rain and
crops burned out. Hay looks good in irri
gated country. Harvesting being done."
From agent, Orenco, July 25: ''Clear,
light north wind; cool. Drouth continues.
One-fifth Spring crop a total loss. Fall
gra'n not filling up very good. Estimate
crop about 70 per cent. Potatoes and beans
are affected, some with about 70 per cent
crop if we get rain this week."
From agent. Forest Grove. July 24i
"Drouth continues, but past few days been
cooler, and crops not burning so much. Two
thirds grain crop expected."
From agent. Albany. July 25: "No ma
terial change in crop situation."
From ngent, Salem. July 24: No change
in weather or crop eondltions.
From S. B. Calderhead. general agent
Northern Pacific, Walla Walla, July 24 :
"The hot dry weather past week has done
great damage to grain throughout this en
tire section. The crops will be materially
reduced nnd the quality of the grain will
be affected. Harvest is beginning through
out Walla Walla and Umatilla counties.
From my own observation and information
from growers believe will have to exceed
5.OOO.00O bushels to move from this ter
ritory the coming season. A good rain in
Columbia County would be of great benefit
to the barley and Spring grain near the
mountains. If they do not get rain witnin
the next week the damago will be heavy."
From W. .1. Jordan, generat agent, lewis-
ton, Idaho, July 25: "No change in weather
conditions since my last report. Fall grain
Is not filling out and the yield win ne con
siders bly less than last year. Spring grain
Is being badly damagea ana a great aeai oi
It heading out not over six inches high.
Weather had been a little cooler tne past
24 hours, but no prospect of rain."
From agent. Madras. July 2: "Very light
rain during night, cloudy, calm, warm tins
forenoon. Indicates more rain today. Rain
now Is too late to benefit crops to any
marked degree.
vi-nm Airnnt. Marvhlll. July 26: "Light
showers during night and this forenoon.
From agent. Albany. Jury -: "i-igni ram
laet night, just enough to knock dust off
vegetation: wind in the south, which looks
encouraging.
From W. L Paine, assistant general ireigni
nnd passenger agent. Spokane. Portland &
Seattle Railway, Spokane: "At Amber DO
p-r cent crop Spring sown practically all
burned. If weather stays cool may average
eight or ten bushels. Lamont conditions
uSmit the same, although country buck
from railroad looks fairly well. Estimate
40 or 50 per cent normal. In vielnlty Mc
Call. Hooper and Benge same estimate. Hot
wave has wrought havoc with crop. Won't

rain at this time will do more harm than

Spring Wheat in the Dakotas

CHICAGO MARKET FIRMER
Damage Reports From Northwest
More Than Offset to Beneficial
Downpours In Canada Re
ceipts of Winter Grain Fall.
CHICAGO, July 2fl. DIaipoJntment aver
expected rain to materialist.. In the South
west brought highest prices todayfor corn.
The market, although unsettled at the close,
showed a net advance of Vc to 2 c, with
September at $l.&ti to Sl.tki'i and Decum
ber at 1.10 to Wheat gained 2H;C
to Slic and oats -c to 3c. In provisions, the
outcome waa a setback of 5 points to 12
& 15c.
Uneasiness regarding excessively dry
weather in the Southwest, together with
generally unfavorable crop reports from
there, forced many corn shorts to cover and
led to a considerable amount of purchases
for Investment. The result was that final
transactions were virtually at the top point
of tlie day.
Need of soaking rains for th Spring wheat
crop In the Northwest, especially North Da
kota and Western South Dakota, acted as
more than a counterbalance for beneficial
downpours in Canada. The market was bull
lshly affected also by the fact that Winter
wheat receipts were as yet not half as large
as a year ago.
Oats tightened up with corn. It was said
the Dutch government was loading 'oats at
the seaboard, but no permit fur a clearance
was confirmed,
Provisions responded to the strength of
corn. Higher quotations on hogs tended fur.
ther to lift the market.
