VEGETABLES Market well sup plied : glut In beans. WHEAT Steady and unchanged. BUTTER Good supply ; price shade lower. EGGS Stock moving well; well sup piled. POULTRY Large springs In strong demand; hens medium. MEATS Light Veal and hogs in de mand; Iambs bring fancy price. Without exception or qualification, weather conditions to the contrary notwithstanding, 11 cluwr of trade on Front street have been more satisfactory and business more biu fling generally last week, Ft-ason taken into con federation, than they have ever bet-n btforo In a single week. This is especially true with country ship ping. City trade has not been quit co brisk a it would have hern, had the weather been slightly warmer. City trade has been some what sluggish because of the unsettled con dition of the wcaiher and, retailers have been pursuing th hand-to-mouth policy of stock ing Alp, Not so with the country trade. Or ders have been corning in heavy and at a rapid rate; indeed, to such extent that many of the wholesaler were obliged to work their forces at night and overtime t keep up with the pace. Never before have the stocks been cleaned m no iimmugiiiy as m ine eiuse hi ino pres ent market week, and. with prospects for warmer and brighter weather, all dealers look forward to record-breaking business" hence forth throughout the. Summer season. in harmony with the gradual building up of business commission men are increasing or der, and. although stocks were pretty well cleaned up yesterday afternoon, new and larger shipments1 are on the road and will ar rive in due season to meet the anticipated In crease In demand, which seems bound, to come with the opening of the new week. SPRING CHICKS ARK SCARCE. rude I Tired of Older Varieties In Poultry and Demands More Toothsome Youngs. The clos of the week on market row was marked by oportune Increased receipts in all kinds of poultry. Hens and roosters pre dominated, however, when the greatest de mand Is for large Springs, which go off at a rapid) rate and for good prices. Consumers are growing weary of old chickens and the In quiry for the younger and more tender chicks Is Increasing dully. The principal reason for the falling off of the demand for hens andj old roosters Is that people do not care to have a kitchen Are burning 00 long during the Summer weather. All arrivals aro In prime conditon. but the large hens have to be shaded In order to get rid of them. There are more sales in poultry on local quotations than on the higher shipping prices. There Is no demand! for old geese, but there Is fair sale for young ducks and the amo may be said of old ones, as they meet with better sale than do old geese. OREGON EGGS ARK UCR1ED. Dealers say They Are Being SHcriflred for the Benefit of Large Eastern Stocks. Some complaint Is heard on market row on account of the advantage other dealers are said to have been taking of the egg market In order to get rid of heavy Eastern at the sacrifice of fresh Oregons. The ground upon which the complaint, or rather dls.'asfac tion Is based Is that the price upon Oregons has been boosted up a shade In order that on hand may cut a little ami dispose of their stock at top market prices, and cover on their purchases. Eggs have been quoted at 22 cents and better, for Oregons. when It Is Stated that 21 cents is the ruling figure and that 22 cents la rather the exception than the rule. 11 vp-case lots are quoted at 21 c to 21'. . and single-case sales bring as high as 22c. A a resu 1 1 Oregon stock is at a d is ad vantage and Js accumulating while East erns are moving off rapidly. Veal. Fork nnd I-nnihs Very Firm. The receipts on veal have been unusually heay tl past week, but the demand has been equal to the occasion on medium-sized stock and everything ha. been cleaned up at satisfactory prices. The heavier grades of veal are harrier to move, and some little .trouble has been experienced In getting rid of as well as veal, are very firm. There tl ft light supply of hogs. A shipment of very tine lambs, received yes terday, of the fancy dressed grade, was snapped up quickly at S cents. Front-Street Causerle. Beans are a drug on the market. Com is coming in better and In greater de mand. Big country shipments expected today and tomorrow. Ripe bananas are scarce on the "row" and In good demand. Part of a carload of Mississippi tomatoes Arrived yesterday in splendid condition. A new shipment of California peaches is among the late arrivals in deciduous fruits. There is a plenty of new spuds in the mar ket at Si to $1.23. A few Callfornlas are also coming in for country shipping. The horta6 In bananas at this time Is due principally to the heavy country shipping for the Fourth of July trade. There will be Snore In Monday and Tuesday. .A carload of cantaloupes from the Imperial Valley U moving lively and will be dis posed of In good season.

FEW SHOW GOOD SUPPORT Appearance of Bank Statement Is Signal for Fresh Selling Ex pected Gain in Cash Does "ot Materialize. . NEW YORK. June- 30. The liquidation Is securities was continued today with the re sult of forcing prices still lower and adding to the number of stocks to make low records for the year. The liquidation was some what spotty and a few stocks showed evi dence of good aupport or of relief from pres sure by the extent of the liquidation already affected. There is no borrowing of money on the stock exchange on Saturday so that the mar ket was free from that influence, but the ap pearance of the bank statement was the sig nal for fresh selling and a fall In prices to the lowest of the day. Only part of the ex pected gain In cash was reflected In the state ment and a loan contraction of less than $1,000,000 following the severe liquidation which has been going on In the stock market increased the feeling of anxiety over the ap parently Insatiable demand for credilts which keeps pace with every addition to banking resources and with every reduction of ac commodations to speculative borrowers. Uncovered ehorta showed an alert tendency to cover at all available declines and this kept the tone or the market unsteady and Irregular betweeft the periods of declines. The inclination of the bears to cover was stimu lated by the prospect that Monday would find Congress adjourned. Some account was taken also of the prospect of securing gold in Lon don for Import to New York next week. While the prevailing level of exchange Is as low as that during the last gold import movement, it is pointed out that the banks admittedly counted the previous gold engagements in their reserves as soon aa secured abroad, even before the Secretary of the Treasury allowed advances of Government deposits when gold was engaged. At the present 'time, the banks are enjoined from adopting this measure. The banks have already received an injunction from the Controller to restrict loans to indi viduals to an amount within 10 per cent of their capital and surplus and not to exceed m. any event 30 per cent of the capital. This Is in accordance with the new law which extends the permissible loans beyond the" old restriction to 10 per cent of capital. But the old restriction has been, In effect, a dead letter for a long time, and it Is believed that the intended inforcement of the more lib eral new provision will necessitate, never theless, some scaling down of present loan account with individuals. The market closed slightly irregular at a rally due to covering by room ehorts. Many prominent stocks, how ever, show notable net losses on the day. Total sales of bonds, par value, $759,000. There has been heavy liquidation in the stock market this week and prices have been carried downward notably. In a few cases the level touched was lower than that on the decline after the San Francisco dis aster, but the average level of the market did not approach the point reached at that tlttie. The motive for the liquidation la open W some dispute and is obscure in some points. Pro fessional bear operators have followed the mar ket freely and their requirements to cover short contracts have afforded the onjs- appar ent oupport and basis for occasional rallies In prices. Such rallies have invariably been availed of for fresh liquidation. The conse quence has been the growth of a speculative party in Wall street, which dwells upon the term "apex of prosperity," and sees evidence of over-extension and coming reaction in. the general situation of affairs. Evidence of over extension is not lacking In the conditions in the money market. These conditions are the key to the immediate situation in the stock market, where vulnerable speculative committ ments are open to the pressure toward ren trenchment and building up of banking re serves. Many stock market pools of long standing have found themselves obliged to reduce their lines and have found difficulty in selling to advantage at the high level of prices to which their operations had advanced their specialties. These high prices had the effect of throwing the rate of Income return on the stocks affected out of relation with the prevailing interest rates for money and of putting them in disfavor with the investment class of buyers who must be relied upon to form any substantial basis for the maintenance of values. Many high-class railroad stocks have been selling at prices which reduced their dividend return to a 4 per cent basis or lower, and where even dividend increases which are counted upon would fail to raise the income return to the level of existing rates for money In time loans. These rates have advanced during the week to 5?i per cent for periods of seven months and upward, carrying over the end of the year, and speculative borrowers are reported to have bid considerably higher rates without securing accommodations. Offer ings are scarce in spite of the higher rates bid and the demand has been the largest for the longer periods. Lenders have been disposed, nevertheless, to keep their funds available by placing them in call loans. This explains the comparative ease of call money and the slight effect caused by the preparations for the unusually heavy re quirements of the July settlement. These have not been entirely without effect on call loans toward the end of the week and anx iety has been felt that call loans would work higher next week. The obligation of New York trust companies to increase their cash reserves on July 1 are a complicating factor. The request of San Francisco finan cial llnea for deposit of Government funds with their banks is taken as an indication that the return flow of the cash accumu lated there after the fire is not likely to reach the full amount of the resources then collected. The Treasury Department "has de cided to withdraw $10,000,000 of Govern ment deposits from National banks accord ing to notice on July 10, to secure means for the Intended deposltg in San Francisco. A recurrent factor In the money market is the dissolution of syndicates by expiration which have underwritten capital Issues and the necessity of taking up large unmarket able residues of these holdings. The state ments of subscriptions on New York Issues come due at intervals in the coming week and resources will have to be found for meeting them. Further capital Issues are also looked for to provide means for the large enterprises of corpora tions already undertaken. Real es tate speculation and outlay. East and "TVest. is known to be on an enormous scale and there is much discussion of the extent to which credits are tied up In tjiis field. In the presence of these conditions, the extra requirements of the Fall money markets are looked forward to with apprehension and the advancing rates of interest are the measure of this apprehension. With securities still selling at prices where the rat of return is lower than that for money a natural dispo sition to convert holdings into money is in operation. The same influence Is observable in the absence of the reinvestment demand for bonds which usually makes Its appear ance In the period preceding large dividend and interest disbursements. For relief from the money pressure liqui dation of stocks is regarded as a resource which seems at present tbe favorite. The downward course of foreign exchang has reached the point which seems to offer a profit on gold imports and relief in this direction is also expected. Bonds were dull and heavy. U.

ALL FEARS HAVE SUBSIDED FEAR OF OVERPRODIJCTIOX IRON UNDULY MAGNIFIED Industries Book Largest Orders In His tory Reports From Karmina; Re sIodm Likewise K neon ra grin NEW YORK. Juns 30. (Special.) It ap pears now entirely clear that the trouble with the stock market during the last fort night has load nothing- to do with the gen eral outlook. Considerable doubt On this subject existed a week, ago, when the cut ting of foundry iron prices In the South was brought so prominently before Wall street's attention. It was felt in many Quarters that this evidence of Increasing competition in the Iron industry was a sign that in this and other trades a state of over production might have been reached and that the liquidation of securities might be discounting a general commercial decline. These fears, however, have subsided with the course of the week. The reduction in the Southern Iron schedules proves to have been unduly magnified, so far as its sig nificance for the iron and steel industry is concerned, and later reports scarcely leave room for misgiving that the prosperity of the steel companies is not as great as lt has ever been. According to good authority the steel corporation has booked the largest volume of orders this' month of any June in its history and the statement due in a few weeks' time is expected to break all records for earnings. The mercantile agency reports and such broader indications as railway traffic re ceipts and bank clearances are similarly re assuring, the conclusion being that while the pace of trade activity has slackened, as It always does In the early Summer, the general movement by comparison with pre vious years is exceptionally heavy. It Is recognized therefore that the recent decline on the stock exchange has been due to other causes than apprehension of an unfavorable turn in the commercial situation. The un certainty commonly felt at this season of the year over the crops is also seen to be of the minor factors. All the news from farming regions this week has in fact been distinctly encouraging. The harvest of Winter wheat is well on its way to com pletion and the quality of the grain Is de clared to be fully up to the standard. Wool at St. Louis. ST. LOUIS. June 30.

GENERAL MARKET WEAK General Rains Throughout Corn Sec tion in Middle West Cause Free Selling of Com Oats Mar ket Less Active. CHICAGO. June 30. The feature of the wheat market today was the renewed liquida tion of July holdings by disconcerted longs. The general market began weak. Support was lacking, as the majority of purchasers were made by shorts. Good weather for harvest ing was the principal cause for the selling pressure, although it was In some measure due to clearer weather in the Northwest. Southwestern wheat markets were weak, be cause of selling caused by the anticipation of an Increased movement from the Winter wheat territory and this depressed prices on the lo cal market. Sentiment was bearish all day and the market closed weak with prices near the lowest point. September opened a shade higher to UQhio lower at 81H81c. sold off to 81 lie. and closed Uc off at 81c. General rains throughout the corn section of the Middle W'est caused free selling of corn early In the day and resulted in moderate weakness. September closed strong, Vic higher at ntfcfe The oats market was less active than for several days and the volume of bus iness comparatively small. September closed tc lower at 36-c. Provisions were quiet and Arm. At the close, September pork was up 7-jC, lard was 6c higher and ribs were 7t,c higher. The leading futures ranged as folldws: WHEAT. Open. High. Low. Close.

NEW YORK, June 30. The Financier says: The official statements of the New York As sociated Banks last week showed gains In cash and in surplus reserve, though the in creases were somewhat below expectations. The cash gain was $1,179,000, while the ma jority of the estimates which were based on the traceable movements of money during the week, encouraged expectations of a much larger increase. Possibly the discrepancy be tween the estimates and the officially reported gains in cash may have been due to opera tions by trust companies, these institutions being required on July X to augment their re serve of lawful money by one-fifth of the amount demanded by the recently enacted law by this state. The general deposits of the banks were in creased $144,700, which amount is nearly $18". 000 below the Bum of the gain of cash, less the decrease In loans; therefore the statement failed to make a good proof. As the result of the above-noted increase In deposits, the required reserve was aug mented $36,175, deducting which from the gain in cash left $1,142,825 as the Increase in sur plus reserve to $12,055,750. Computed upon the basis of deposits, less those of $15,313,100 public funds, the surplus Is $15,884,025. Mining Stocks. SAN FRANCISCO, June 30.
