The hide market is In an inactive. .de pressed condition, and with the large sur-piu- existing throughqut the country, there Is nothing that points to Improvement In the near future. Locally the trade is al most at a standstill and the dealer are taking their men off the road. 'From all indications we will have pretty slow market for hides for some time to come," said George M. Sullivan of the Portland Hide & Wool company. There is nothinr in the situation to war rant the belief of some that the fall will bring better prices. The country Is flow ed with hides and leather, and while the kill of cattle is the lowest in many years, still it is ample to take care of all re quirements so far as hides are concerned. If no hides were taken off at all for the next year we would still have plenty of hides aud leather to go around, pro vided our export business remains in the same condition as it is in today. Our ex ports have dwindled to nothing, and be fore we get things adjusted to do business with Europe, the people over there will be selling us leather and shors, too, cheaper than we can produce them. "After the present week we will follow the lead of other dealers of the northwest and withdrawn our buyers from the road entirely. How long we will keep them in 1s hard to say, at least until such time as the market east shows some signs of re turning to life. Today there is no mar ket, and there will be no buyers out in Oregon or Washington, although we will continue to receive goods shipped in to us and wilt make returns on a basis of about 5 cents for pood short-haired summer hides and 3 to 4 cents for the winter stock. Most of the old hides being held by butch ers and small dealers throughout Oregon, Washington and Idaho are in pretty poor) shape and are worthless for leather pur poses, being salt stained and otherwise damaged. At present prices it is impossi ble to continue to send buyers in the country to take up hides. Freight and traveling expenses amount to as much as we are paying for the hides. It will be better for all hands if hides are con signed on this kind of market and save the traveling expense." Hard white .... Soft white ...... White club Hard winter . . .

STOCK LEADERS STRONG STEEL ASD SfEXICAX OIL ARE HIGHER AT CLOSE. LOCAL WHEAT OFFERS UNCHANGED Export Bids Are Under Prices Ruling; in the .Market. No change was made in wheat bids at the Merchants' Exchange. There was a little business doing in the country, but as a rule exporters were not interested, as export bids were under values ruling here. Coarse grains were dull. Offers for June oats were cut $1 and June corn was 50 cents lower. Snow reported from Tankton, S. D. : 'Found clearly developed black rust in locality of Yankton. Weather very hot and dry and if continued will cause pre mature ripening. Corn color and stand perfect." . Le Count reported from Huron, S. D.: 'Country is terribly dry: pastures turning brown; fair weather predicted for north west. Wheat and oats have been badly damaged by drouth; much of crop is heading very short and cannot fill with out rain." The Argentine government estimates wheat remaining for export on June 20 at 78.650.000 bushels: corn at . 141.748,000 bushels. Argentine shipments this week were 2.S36.000 bushels wheat; 8.143,000 bushels corn, and 224.000 bushels oats. ' Bradstreet's reports weekly exports from North America of 9.730.000 bushels wheat and flour, and 1,500.000 bushels corn. A cable report from Liverpool said that Broomhal! estimated the surplus of wheat of the world's exporting countries at the beginning of ' the season at 720.O00.OO0 bushels. The report further stated that shipments to date have amounted to Md 000,000 bushels, leaving 204.000.000 avail able up to July 31, which is generally ac cepted by statisticians in Europe as the end of the crop season. A commercial report stated that Aus tralia has exported 61.930.000 bushels of wheat since January 1. The crop year in the southern hemisphere is the same as the calendar year. Australia has been a heavy exporter of late. Exports have so far exceeded Australia's annual pre-war a verses by about 13.000,000 bushels. For the five-year period preceding the war, Australia's average was 50,000,000 bushels a year. Terminal receipts.

Business on the stock exchange today was comparatively dull and narrow. Dealings for the most part lacked the reactionary elements which contributed to the recent depreciation of prices. Speculative favorites, especially those embracing the oil, steel, motor and chemi cal groups, were fairly steady and oc casionally strong. Heaviness, which some times bordered on weakness, wws uhi festeri hnuv.r hv soma obscured pre ferred' Issues. Conscplcuous examples of this class Included American Writing Paper, Industrial Alcohol, Baldwin Loco motive, Central Leather, United Drug. Co lumbia Graphophone and Mercantile Ma rine, the last making an extreme decline or nearly 5 points. For the first time in several weeks such leaders as Mexican Petroleum and United States Steel showed consistent strength. Mexican increased its early gain to a net of 34 points and Steel closed Its points above yesterday's low record. Corn Products strengthened on declara tlon of the regular dividend. Sears, Roe buck rallied on news that the company was Duying In its outstanding notes and coco Cola recovered 8 points on settlement of tnreatened litigation. Sales were 523,000 shares. Plenty of money was available on call at 8 per cent extending Into next week and some 30 and 60-day loans expiring at the end of the month were in process of renewal at prevailing rates. Dealings In exchange were light and mainly downward. Liberty ., were strong, but others of that division recorded mixed changes. Further strength was shown by convertible rails and City of Paris 6s featured the firmer trend manifested by international issues. Total sales, par value, $11,173,000.

Fair quantities of new Oregon potatoes are coming in and are selling at 3Vi cents a pound. A car of California gar nets and a car of White Rose from Los Angelea arrived. Garnets were quoted At 8 5 cents and white potatoes at 3'i cents. The cantaloupe market continued slow. Good stock sold well at $3.304, but there was a large supply of green cantaloupes on the market which could not be moved at any price. There was a moderate movement in watermelons at 3tT3Uc, Very few good strawberries are coming in now. The best can be sold at 81.25. 1.50, but many of the offerings were not worth over 75 cents. Raspberries and loganberries were steady at 822.23. California black figs have made their appearance and are quoted at 81.23&1.75 box. BUTTER MARKET HELD WEAKER Demand Is Less Active, bnt Prices Have Not Been Changed. The cube butter market held at the 30-cent level yesterday, but there was a somewhat weaker feeling in the trade. Buyers were not so keen to take hold as heretofore, and offer made to San Fran cisco at the old price failed to bring re sponses. In some quarters the belief was expressed that there may be an all-around decline In the early part of next week. Eggs sold well to the local trade at 2425c, case count. Cash buyers paid country shippers 22023c. There was a fair demand for the poul try received, and It sold at unchanged prices. Country dressed meats, were steady. j Bank Clearings.

BOSTON, June 24. The Commercial Bulletin tomorrow will say: Riminess has been Irregular in the eastern wool markets again this week, I but on the whole there seems to have been slightly more animation than a week ago. Prices are fairly firm. Buying in the west proceeds on about the same level of values, considerable wool moving forward on consignment. The foreign markets show somewhat less strength, primary markets are gen erally steady. The goods markets have been rather Inactive this week, but the mills are gen. erally well occupied and some manufac turers are putting? on nlghteahifts.

NEW YORK. June 24. Bradstreet's to morrow will say: High temperatures and the advance of the season have made for some increase in distribution of light seasonal goods at retail and favored a fairly active reorder business from Jobbers. Collections are slightly slower and weather irregularities, much needed rains In some sections, particularly the south, continued drouth and heat in others, not ably the Atlantic coast states, import ir regularity to the crop reports, though not materially changing the good outlook pre viously noted in most important surplus grain-producing areas. Reflection of this latter is had in the not-vltally important declines shown in wheat prices, despite rust reports from the northwest and advices of premature ripen ing of winter wheat. Reports from dif ferent sections still lack uniformity, al though the general statement may be made that things commercial are on the quiet aide. Weekly bank clearings were $539,865,000.

It Is expected that cutting will begin early next week, with better than an average crop predicted. Nearly all the potatoes, for which th country la famous, have been planted, with eome already through the ground and looking good. Cool weath er and frosta have retarded growth some what, although no actual damage Is re ported. Conditions of soil with favorable weather will establish a fine crop. Salem Damage to hay due to recent rain is also reported here, extent not known at this writing. Grains, however, have been benefited by rain, so the dam age to hay is relieved to some extent by this fact. Fresh fruit is rather a drug In the market, owing to the relatively small pack at canneries. Hops are in good condition. Prunes are expected to prove a better crop than at first deemed possible. Generally speaking, an average of below normal is promised. Albany Recent rains covering this dis trict are hailed as life-savers to the last spring-sown grain, which was beginning to suffer from drouth. Hay is being cut, but the yield per acre is not obtalnabl now. All fruits and berries doing nicely Strawberries averaged considerably above normal, with both logan and raspberries promising the same. All hop yards are reported In excellent condition, with prom ise of better than normal yi4d. The beet vetch and clover seed crop in recent years Is expected. Eugene While damaging hay crops to some extent, the recent rains In this ter ritory nave materially assisted other grow ing crops. Grains are reported in fin condition and heavy yield now assured, All berry crops indicate an average yield. btrawocrnes are harvested, having sur passed the normal. Generally speaking. the outlook for all crops at this writin is .far better than for several years an subject to marketing conditions, growers should have one or the best years in their history.

There was a fair attendance at the government wool auc tion here when 5,000,000 pounds of wool were offered, almost wholly of the South American type, grading fair quarter-blood and below. Interest was hardly so keen as at the sale of May 25, some 25 per cent of the total offering being with drawn. The wools were suited especially for carpet manufacturers. Prices were possibly a bit easier as compared with the last sale, some descriptions selling off about cent In the grease.

Potatoes also benefited greatly and a splendid crop is now promised. The prune crop, damaged early in the season, is turning out very spotted. Some locali ties report normal and others total failure. The estimate generally is about GO per cent of normal. Other fruit crops, both tree and bush, are reported as being in very good condition and the general aver age should be high.

Black rust In Us damag-inr staffs was reported today from three counties in South Dakota, and the wheat market ranged htsher most of the time as a result. The close, however, was unsettled at exactly the same as yeste day's finish July II. S01i to 1 31 and Sep tember 1.23; 1.24. Corn lost flve-elKhtht to a quarter of a cent and oats a snaa to a three-quarter of a cent.. In provisions tne outcome was unchanged to loc nisnr. With the South Dakota harvest still three weeks off. the chances for injury o a large scale to the wheat rop in the northwest were regarded with apprehra sion by many traders, especislly as cur. rent reports indicated that the pest was not confined to South Dakota. Continued hot. dry weather aiso was said to be cur tailing crop prospects in the northwest, while further rain in the southwest Im plied additional delay to supplies from that section. On the advances, however, persistent commisslon.house selling deve oped and the market underwent numerous setbacks. Liberal arrivals, together with a lack of sustained buying, had a depressing effect on corn .and sympathetically on oats. Provisions averaged higher with hoga The Chicago market letter received yes- terriay by the Overbeck & Cooke company of Portland said: Wheat There was very little pressure on the market during early trading a greater disposition to recognise the ser iousness of the northwestern crop situs tion was apparent. The absence of out side buying power, however, was again predominant and prices at the finish ease off to last night's close. Country offer Ings to arrive were reported fairly liberal There was some export business under way. But only 2SO.000 was confirmed having been worked. The forecast Is for continued fair waather In the northwest snn until rains occur to relieve the sit uatinn in that territory, there la llttl likelihood of a permanent downturn In prices, even though buying power at th moment Is not sufficient to maintain bulges. Corn Persistent selling by cash houses and leading elevator interests wss too much for the absorptive power and price sold under yeaterdsy's close, practical!! all day. even while wheat was strong. Crop reports continued favorable wit rains boing construed as very beneficial and likely to set aside crop fears for anm little time. Country offerings to arrive light. The Intrinsic value of the artlcl in our opinion makes It Inadvisable to as sums a bearish attitude at these prices. cat, There was little in the way news to give this market Individuality and Iluctuatlons . were dominated entire v br corn. Receipts were estimated at 100 ca-s and sold at a firm basis. Crop news re. mains unfavorable and will probably be a price-maKing lactor Before long.
