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and withdrawn our buyers from the road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."

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.

t-SpecuIative Favorites Rally Willi
Short Covering Changes In
Liberty Bonds Are Mixed.
NEW YORK, June 24. 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.

NEW POTATOES DECLINING IN PRICE
Early Oregon Varieties Offered at SVS
Or rata Pound Cantaloupe Trade Slow.
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

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

WARM WEATHER AIDS RETAIL TRADE
Fairly Active Reorder Business From Job
bers Reported.
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.

of quotations and the cattle market was
also nominally steady. The cattle that

Salem Damage to hay due to recent
rain is also reported here, extent not

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

Albany Recent rains covering this dis

as at the sale of May 25, some 25 per

by the Spokane, Portland St Seattle, the

are reported by R. W. Pickard, assistant
general freight agent, as follow-;
Vancouver Bumper hay crops are as
sured to .Clarke county by recent rains,
nd the average yield should be above
normal. 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.
Goldendale Crop indications continue fa
vorable In this vicinity. Sufficient rain,
interspersed with sunshine, appears' as
though ordered by the growers. Grain
crops are in excellent condition, promising
great yields. Hay crops are now being
gathered, with quality the best. Products

wonders with the small grain crop, both
fall and spring-sown, and all evidence ob
tainable insures a bumper crop of all
grain, with harvesting date a little earlier
than usual, wheat in tne Horse Heaven
country is promising a better yield than
for several years past. Fruit prospects
are slightly below the average, owing to
the small ness of peach and apricot yields.
Late frosts and cool weather are held, re

Madras Encouraging reports continue
from this territory. Grain fields are In
first-class condition, with good stands and
fine color. Considerable moisture remains
In the soli, which should carry the grain
into harvest. Unusually large yields per
acre are confidently expected. The acre
age is slightly less than last year, but
more grain should be produced, barring
extreme adverse weather. More acreage

is in evidence and cattle generally are

CHICAOO, June 24. Black rust In Us

unsettled at exactly the same as yeste

not confined to South Dakota. Continued

while further rain in the southwest Im
plied additional delay to supplies from
that section. On the advances, however,
persistent commisslon.house selling deve

setbacks.
Liberal arrivals, together with a lack of
sustained buying, had a depressing effect
on corn .and sympathetically on oats.
