The market for hides continues to hold its
nn. Dealers nuticc an undertone of easiness,
but prices have not been affected. Competi
tion Is keen enough In the local market to
bold values steady. Buyers complain of hav
ing to pay too high prices in view of the
Ksstern situation, yet It la noticeable that
all offerings are readily taken. Receipts are
of good volume.
In tlio hide market In general there is no
doubt that a feeling of uncertainty exist. In
isome quarters of the trade there is an ex
pression "of confidence In higher prices, but
me majority look for a lower market and
think that the crest of the boom wavo was
reached during the period of activity and
strength that prevailed dining the last nart
or 10u5. J
This undertow of -weakness may be only
a temporary affair, for It l undeniable that
the world's supply of hides and skins, like
tliat of wool. Is smaller than in former years.
This Is clearly proved by the prices that
have prevailed In these lines for the past 12
months.- According to a recent Issue of Hirlo
and Leather, the situation Is not due to lees
law material being produced, but rather to
the Increase In the take-off of hides and skins,
which has not kept pace with the enormous
expansion In the last few years In the pro
duction and consumption of leather. "If this
basic fact regarding- raw material Is ac
cepted," says Hide and leather. "It Is Idle to
expect lower prices. It may appear Incred
ible to buyers of leather, but market condi
tions are a demonstration of the fact that
tanners are experiencing more trouble today
in buying hides and skins than In selling
leather."
Regarding the situation at Chicago, the
center of the hide Industry, tho latest Issue
of a trade paper says:
The lack of demand of late has caused
hides to accumulate, but the stock In the
hands of packers Is small as compared with
quantities that they have carried at certain
times In the past. The situation In cowhides
is somewhat easier, but this Is to be expected
following the rapid advance in these during
the pat yenr. Late suiting packer cows are
held at loc for all weights, which Is as hlghas
native and Texas steers are bringing; but
there ts.litllo demand at l."c now, -and some
packers have Intimated that, they would con
sider bils of l-tc. Country cows are weaker,
and buffs that formerly brought 1-IVjC have
been sold of late st int, One sustaining
feature of the market is the strength of tho
market In Europe. South America and other
parts of the world, on account of the ex
treme prices ruling In Europe and Buenos
Ayres. it is not expected that many hides
can be brought here, and, owing to this fact,
holders of hides do not anticipate any ma
terial acciins in the market. One of the prin
cipal happenings during the week under review
uas oeen tne large sales in the West of
calfskins. These sales have amounted to fully
iiiMuiu sums, and included packer skins at
1H-. Chicago city at I.Vic, outside cities at
LV'lo'sc; country, 15c.
MOKK 1-OIXTRY 1.00KKI) JOB.
But ;oud Demand Is Exuected In Karl
Furt of Week.
Heavy arrivals of poultry are expected In the
coming week, as the higher prices lately
prevailing are expected to stimulate ship,
ments, which have been light for several
days. As retailers" stocks are low. it Is
likely that there will be a good market, espe
cially in the early part of the week. Prices
yesterday were unchanged.
Eggs were In active demand at 20 cents. Re
ceipts proved to be about adequate.
There was no change in the butter market.
City creameries reported a fair demand. On
Front street the movement was slower than
In the previous week. The activity that has
been noticed In the market for store butter
may receive a check by reason of the sailors'
etrlkc.
MM AM, SI PPI.Y OF STRAWBERRIES.
Prices Are Bid Id on the K.i sl.i.
Market.
The suply of strawberries at the Italian
market was limited yesterday morning, and
prices were bid up to 8 cents before the
stock was exhausted. . Only a limited quan
tity was on Front street. Two crates of
cantaloupes were received and sold for $4.50
and $5. Cherries were in fair supply and
steady. Clyman plums are offering at $2
per box.
Green vegetables were In good supply. The
market for peas was somewhat heavier, but
beans worked off all right. A car of Sac
ramento cabbage arrived, also a car of onions
from Stockton. One car of lemons was re
ceived. Several cars of oranges are rolling.
STRENGTH IN CANNED COOPS.
several Eastern Lines Are Again Moving
i pwara.
Several lines of Eastern canned goods have
developed additional strength In the past
neck. Tomatoes, both future and spot. "re
strong in the East. At New York some large
ales of spot tomatoes by the syndicate to
leading distributors are reported, and also
a notice nv Ihn nnnl ......... ,

an upward tendency, owing to conditions In
the. producing districts of Maryland and
Delaware.
Middle Western packers are reported to be
buying spot peas In order to protect them-

THE WEEK IN WALL STREET
Prices Have Gradually Hardened
but o Outside Interest Has
Been Attracted to the
Stoek Market.
NEW YORK. June 9. (Special.) What has
gone on for the greater part of this week in
the stock market may be described at a grad
ual hardening of prices, rather than an active
speculative movement fur the rise. For, while
Individual stocks have at times moved ahead
rapidly and while the trading has been larger
and broader than In the previous weeks, there
has been no big sustained advance such as
ordinarily accompanies a full-fledged bull apec
ulauun. The rise has proceeded by slow de-
grees,; Indicating that professional traders have
done most of the buying and haVe seized their
pron-ts as fast as they saw them, thereby giv
ing the forward movement an extremely irreg
ular appearance and encouraging constant op
position and skepticism In various speculative
quarters. It will be admitted by everybody,
however, that the active interest In current
operations is still narrow and that it is con
fined very largely to habitual traders.
The market, with apparently no sUDPOrt
from the outside houses, has made some very
rapid and important advances and those who
have opposed these advances oh the ground
that they are artificial have cause to regret
their stand.
The week's dealings have brought home the
truth forcibly that crops are the all-important
tem in tne present -outlook. The main rea
son for this Ls that our present expanded
state of industry Implies unusual necessity
that there be no impairment in the main
springs of the country's wealth. In the early
part of the week the buying movement was
encouraged by the Government's estimates on
cotton, which, while they did not point to an
extraordinary harvest, made a very flattering
comparison in condition and acreage with the
crop of a year ago. Toward the close of the
week the renewed advance in the srrain mar
kets furnished a rather formidable obstacle
in the way of operations for the rise In
stocks. The Information that Wall wt t i
more anxiously awaiting than anything else,
is forthcoming at noon next Monday,, when
the Government will make public its grain
crop estimates for June. The money situation
remains substantially the. -same as a week
ago, in that it is good, yet might be better.
Operations d.t Pools.
Much has been made of rcnoris mH Mimnn
of special development concerning individual
properties which have been the cause of
special activity and eharp advances In these
stocks with sympathetic effect In sustaining
me general list. The oncratlons have hn
admittedly by organized parties of professional
operators almost altogether, and the eenprai
nrestment public has not appeared in th
market. The conductors of the movement
profess confidence, however, that the asser
tion of a leadership In the speculation is all
hat is needed to attract a public demand for
stocks and that with the nroirress of a rise
in prices, an active generalmarkct will be
created which will afford a medium for the
successful disposal af. profitable terms of
stocks now being accumulated.
The effect on the money situation of the
large return flow of cash from San Fran
cisco has been marked, and interest rates
both for call and time loans have yielded
distinctly. Rate- for periods ' carrying over
the end of the year were slowest to yield
and were least affected.. The demand .for
time loans ls reported llnht, and lenders are
id to be dissatisfied with present rates and
to be holding their resources for employment
in the call loan department, preferring to
await later developments In the time loan
department. Large supplies in the call loan
market here are said to represent deposits
of Interior banking institutions which kept
their, resources in hand in that way for later
needs for the crop-moving period.
Return Flow of M one j .
The San Francisco movement has reached
an amount equal roughly to one-third of the
total shipped to San Francisco after the
great earthquake and fire losses. The move
ment is expected to run further, but Its ex
tent is complicated with the question of in
surance losses, payment of which has ma'lc
little progress up to this time. Revised esti
mates of the amount of these losses, consid
erably increasing the figures, have come to
hand this week, and serve to complicate this
problem, the settlement of which , will have
an Important bearing on the money market.
Foreign holders raised the question whether
a return movement of gold to foreign mar
kets whence It came in the crUIs of the San
Francisco losses may not be the consequence
of lower Interest rates here.
There has- been some delay admittedly in
the conclusion of the Pennsylvania $50,000.
000 bond transaction in Paris. Much reli
ance was placed on this operation to effect a
funding of some of the large floating indebted
ness of New York to Paris and thus to de
fer the necessity of remittances.-
The outcome of the season's harvests and
the available supply of exportable commodi
ties make an important element in the for
eign trade and merchandise balance In favor
of the United States for the future. In this
connection growing attention is given to the
reported falling off in the foreign demand
for canned meat' products on account of
the agitation concerning packing-house
abuses. An Important proportion -of tho
country's export!" I affected under this
head, and the supply of foreign exchange
may be expected to be reduced1 in conse
quence.
Trade and industrial advices generally
have been highly favorable this week
Prices of bonds have been well maintained,
but the market- is slow. United States old
4s advanced H and the new 4s 14 per cent
on call for the week.
Stocks Pressed for Sale.
Stocks were pressed for sale today . and
prices declined. The speculative party
which entered the market with the opening
of the week, on taking account of the
week's results, will find little in the way of
price changes in the summing up. There
were some closing of accounts today induce I
by discouragement over tne meager prices
disclosed by this speculation. Crop damage
reports are not liked and the effect on stocks
ls feared, of the Government monthly esti
mate of conditions to be published on Mon
day, and which is generally expected to re
flect the unfavorable weather conditions of
the preceding month. The prospect of a
prolongation of the session of Congress came
in fpr some discussion.
Complaint was heard, from speculative
sources that the bidding up of prices serves
to bring out offerings of stocks on selling
orders fixed above the market and these or
ders seem to offer a formidable obstacle to
efforts to advance prices. Speculative liqui
dation was evident in some of the week's
favorite stocks, especially Reading, and
some of the advances which were made
quickly were as quickly lost today. The
weak and unsupported condition of Consoli
dated Gas had a bad effect on sentiment.
The bank statement justified the expecta
tion that the cash gain of last week, which
failed to appear in last weeks statement,
would help the showing this week. Beside
the $2,942,100 cash increase, there was a
$7,619,400 loan expansion to figure In the
deposits, so that the Increase In the reserve
requirement left a margin of only $340,025
for the benefit of the surplus. The paying
of foreign obligations is believed to be re
sponsible in part for the loan expansion.
The Bank of Germany failed to reduce its

KANSAS CRDP POOR
More Evidence of Drouth
- Damage to Wheat.
SHOWN BY STATE REPORT
Chicago Market Advances Sharply
011 Its Publication, but Much
ol the Gain Is Lost Later
on Profit-Taking.
CHICAGO. June ". Additional evidence of
damage to wheat by drouth was furnished
today by the Kansas State crop report which
Save the. condition of wheat a 70, against
an estimate of 89 on May 1. A eharp rally
followed the publication of thia report, but
moat of the arain was lost later on profit
taking;. Prior to the Issuance of th. Kan
sas report, aentlment in the wheat pit was
bearish, there beiuR considerable realizing
by local longs because of improved weather
conditions. Not ouly did the weather map
show Ideal conditions for harvesting ' In the
Southwest, but a cessation of rain was re
ported from the Northwest. During the first
half of the session trading was dull,' but it
became -active after the publication of the
Kansas report. The demand was general and
the only offerings came from longs, who had
profits In sight. .This caused an advance of
almost 2 cents -from the - low point 'of the
day.- Much of. the gain was lost on profit
taking during the lost few minutes of trading.
The market closed steady. ' July opened 14
lie lower, at 83HP83'(,c. ld off to 83'ic
and then adavneed to 85c. The close was at
M1c.
The corn market was weak early In the
day. Cash houses were free sellers. Reported
rain in Illinois and the Ohio Valley had a
tendency to weaken prices. Toward the mid
dle of the day the market rallied sharply on
active covering by shorts, which was based
upon the Kannas report, which showed a con
dition of 79. compared Willi 8tt for the cor
responding time last year. The close of the
market was steady, but during the last
few minutes a large part of the advance was
lost on profit-taking. July oiiened unchanged
to lie lower, at SlSSlc sold off to Slide,
and then adavneed to 51 Tc. Klnal quota
tions were up Ifec, at BlVjC.
Early In "the day the oats market was
weak In sympathy with other grain, but like
wheat and corn, it stiffened on the Kansas
report, which showed the condition of the
crop to 58, against an average of uo for the
last 10 years. The close was steady; July
opened 14igJ lower, at 3"837c, sold up
to 37TiC, and- closed unchanged at 37c.
Provisions were quiet and steady. The
feature of trading was buying of pork by a
local packer. At the close, July pork was
off 6c, at $18.80. Lard was a shade higher,
at $8.80i 8214. Ribs were.6S714c lower, at

NEW YORK'S SIHPHS BANK RE
SERVES GROW SLOWLY.
OfTlctal Weekly Statement Faila to Re
flect the Receipts of Money
Front San Frattclaco.
NEW YORK; June 9. The Financier says:
The official statement of the New York
Associated Banks, as was the case in the
previous week, failed fully to reflect the re
ceipts of money which had been returned
through Treasury transfer from San Francisco.
nd hence it waa disappointing. .1 hough more
than $5,668,000 were received during the week
and more than $6,000,000 in the previous week.
the statements . for the fortnight show only
$4,000,000 gain in caah.. whereas it would seem
that there should have been an average or
nearly $6,000,000. vThe. discrepancy " between
the cash gain by the banks of $2,942,100,
as reported in the statement, and the net
increase of $5,750,000 from directly traceable
movements other than those of the Treasury,
