eiy oiiung uemanu rrom
California.
PRICES ADVANCE STEADILY
Shippers Tax the Capacity of Coast
wise Steamers Other Cereals Are
Quiet Steady Buying; in Hop
Market Produce Moves.
Extreme firmness prevails in the wheat
market. Quotations at the Board of Trade
were advanced H to 1 cent, bluestem be
ing posted at 01 and club at 89 cents.
These were close to export values, but some
buyers with California connections -made
quotations of 92 cents on bluestem and 90
cents on club. Practically all the Inquiry
now Is from the Southern state, where
warehouse stocks are limited and the milling-
demand has become urgent. The regular
steamers are taking out all the grain they
can, but more freight is being offered than
can be handled. As the season advances,
the trade looks for a still keener demand in
California and with the reduction of sup
plies here, a higher range of prices seems
Inevitable. Farmers are slow sellers. A few
small scattered lots are changing hands,
but the general disposition In the country is
to hold for higher prices.
There Is very little demand for oats or
barley and the market Is barely steady,
storks are not large.
The local flour market Is strong In sym
pathy with wheat and an advance Is pos
sible In the near future. The export flour
trt.de continues dull, owing to the financial
depression in the Orient.
NO ADVANCE IX MO II Am MARKET.
Trade Is Stagnant, in the Kaet and in
Europe.
Mohair bas been selling freely in the
baMt relr BmntlH 1H itnnlk Krtmn n , I.
buyers, however, are willing to quit as
they can see no way of disposing of their
Itocks In the East at present at prices that
fill show them a profit. The mohair pool of
Itm pounds at Hillshoro was sold at 18
sents to H. Wehrung & Sons. The members
f the pool were; J. C. Beach, R. B. Col
lins, John Boge, Jamrs Borwlck, A. Gordon,
George Robinson, Ladd & Reed Farm Com
pany, A. B. Cox, Peter Gottlelh, D. and E.

D. Farnham. P. O. Bachelor, Charles
Crocker, Joseph Connell and Dr. A. B.
Bailey. The amount realized at the sale was
I8.13.TQ.
Of the general mohair situation the latest
tssue of the Boston Commercial Bulletin
says:
The local market is still without any ac
tivity worth mentioning, owing to the con
tinued -small business being done by the
manufacturers. The latest advices from the
foreign markets state thas tne situation In
all centers Is one of extreme dullness, while
prices are only nominal, owing to the ab
sence of trading. Operators are awaiting
news of a business revival In this country
to Infuse courage into the foreign buyers.
As the price of the raw material Is com
paratively cheap and money Is easier, an
Improvement In the Vnlted . States would
have a beneficial effect upon the foreign
situation, according to the opinion of many
foreign operators.
STEADY DEMAND FOR OKET.OX HOPS
No Kurther Biulnera Over Six Cents Is
Reported.
Aside from the purchases by A. J. Ray &
Son and the E. C. Horst Company, no tran
actlons over 6 cents have been reported in
the hop market. There was a fair demand
yesterday, but some dealers believed the In
quiry was less urgent than earlier in the
week.- No further purchases by , Carmlchael
or Horst came to light.
H. L. Hart was the heaviest Portland op
erator during the week, buying an aggregate
of 800 bales of news and olds, paying from
3(4 to 6ti cents for the 1907s. B. C. Herren
bought the Wonndahl, Peterson and Anderson
lots, at Monitor, a total of about 100 bales,
at a price, reported to be S cents. The' Sea
rey Hop Company secured the Campbell lot
of 114 bales at Eugene at 3 cents. Camp
bell's olds, 215 bales, were bought by Dorcas
Bros, at 1 cents.
There is a fair Inquiry for contracts and
business in this line was done during the
week at 8 cents for one year and averages
of 9 cents for three-year and 10 cents for
five-year terms.
BIYINO KU8 FOB NOME SHIPMENT.
Seattle Operations Responsible for Lighter
I.oal Receipts.
Seattle buyers are stocking up with Ore
gon eggs for shipment to Nome on the
fleet of steamers which sail tne latter half
of this month. ' Thoy are not buying them
here, however, but are getting them direct
from Valley points, as is shown by the
large shipments passing through this city.
This doubtless explains the scarcity of eggs
in the local market. One or two dealers
received fair lots yesterday, but 'others had
very few eggs to offer. With A good In
quiry from retailers and some demand from
storage operators, the market was very
firm. Nineteen cents was tne general price
quoted on the street for candled stock,
though one dealer declared he was moving
his goods at a cent less.
Poultry prices were largely nominal, as
receipts were exceedingly light.
There was not so much pressure to buy
butter' yesterday on the part of Northern
firms, but the local demand was good and
the movement steady at previous prices.
BERRIES ARE OF BblTKR QUALITY.
Saturday's Receipts Sell Well at Steady
Prices.
The total receipts of California strawber
ries yesterday amounted to about 1 cars.
Nearly all of them came from the Florin
section and on the whokj the offerings wene
much better than those of Friday. Prices
ranged from tl.25 to 1.50 per crate for
the most part, with a limited quantity of
fancy fruit going at 1.75. Oregon berries
were in fair supply, but were slow at 15c
pr pound.
The fruit market In other respects was
quiet. A car of oranges (arrived and they
were held firmly.
A mixed car of California vegetables was
due but failed to materialize. The street
was bare of onions, but will bs fairly well
supplied Monday, a car of Bermudas ar
riving last night. Another car will be In
in two or three days.
BANANA FIGHT ON IX THE EAST.
Trnat Pursue Its t'sual Tactics in Wiping
Out Competition.
The banana? trust, has another fight on Its
hands. Competition has become too warm
for It at New York, and following Its usual
line of putting its rivals out of business It
has started the cutting of prices in a vigorous
fashion. Fifteen cargoes of bananas reached
New York last week, of which only six were
received by the trust. Commenting on the
situation the New York Commercial says:
"It is a matter of common report that the
United Fruit Company has watched the grow
ing competition of Its principal rivals In the
field, and that It has decided that now is the
time to strike, it Is stated that the blow to
be struck Is aimed at .the Cuneo Import
ing Company, t and that in the next few
weeks buyers will be treated to a display
of price-cutting the like of which has not
been seen since the Atlantic Fruit Company
was whipped Into line several years ago. It
Is reported that several carloads of bananas
sold at auction last .week were consigned to
Interior points for account of the Importers.
This has demoralized the Interior jobbing
trade. It is said, and Is one of the things
that has precipitated the fight. The Im
ports for April were 801.025 bunches com
pared with 077.879 bunches In the same month
last year. The March imports were 540,850
bunches against 015, 600 bunches In March last
year."

LIST IS BUOYANT
Stock Prices Advance on a
Broadening Demand.
BONDS ARE ALSO FIRM
Trading on a Heavy Scale in Union
Pacific and Reading Metal In
dustrials Do Not Share In
the General Advance.
NEW YORK, May 9. Tne week closed
with an animated and buoyant stock mar
ket. In which Interest was manifestly broad
ening and new points being developed In
the upward movement. . Advantage was
taken to effect distribution of speculative
holdings of some of the stocks which have
led during the week la strength. In Read
ing and union Pacfic. the volume of the
trading was on an undiminished scale, but
the price variation was held within nar
rower bounds, the demand being fed judici
ously. Even In stocks In which realizing
was most pronounced, the day's business
was effected at prices higher than yester
day, and, in fact, at the highest of the
year.
No definite news accompanied the further
advance, but rumor continued busy. Much
of It dealt with the anthracite group and
supposed change of control of Reading, In
spits of denials of the reports of the sale of
Lake Shore holdings of that stock.
The coming Union Pacific bond issue Is a
subject of active discussion, but with no
authenticity as to details of the amount or
terms of the Issue. A sudden spurt in
Chesapeake & Ohio was unexplained, but
was ascribed by some observers to the terms
of the agreement between the railroad and
the Government for non-enforcement of the
commodities clause of the Hepburn law,
ending in litigation to test its validity.
The metal industrials were not con
spicuous In the advance. The price of
copper was lower In London and rose again
on circulation of rumors that the agreement
on the main prices of pig iron had collapsed.
Assertions - were current of the forcing to
cover of some very large shorts.
The bank statement of averages showed
much less than the expected gain In cash
holdings, but It appeared in the statement
of actual cash conditions on Friday night.
The f23,023.S0rt loan expansion of the In
stitutions indicates clearly also that the
burden of the week's financing had been
borne by them. The decrease for the week
of f2,7O0,0OO In United states deposits
shows the early response to the call for re
payment of f20,00o,000 of these deposits,
which fell due today. The Item of deposit
and of specie holdings In today's clearing
house statement stand at record figures.
Bonds were firm, but reflected some
profit-taking In low-grade Issues, which
were advanced. Total sales, par value,
f 3, 706,000. United States 2s declined 14,
while the 3s coupon advanced and the
registered per cent on call during the
week.

NEW YORK BANKS NEVER- BE
JOKE HELD SO MUCH.
Cash Reserves Exceed the Legal Re
quirements by Over $67,
000,000. NEW ' YORK, May 8. The Financier will
say:
The statement of the associated banks
of the City of New York for the week end
ing May 9 showed merely a continuance
of the same factors which have been in
fluencing the banking situation for a. num
ber of weeks past. The report of the aver
age conditions and the aotual conditions
ot the week ending Saturday did not vary
in any important sense and taking the
actual conditions as showing the real sit
uation, the exhibits reveal an Increase In
surplus reserve of f 6, 101, (50, bringing, the
total excess neserve above the legal re
quirements of $67,112, 725.
The net gain in cash for the week was
f9. 262,400, which was a little less than had
been expected. There was a moderate ex
pansion of $3,765,000 In loans and as a
result of the loan and cash gain, deposits
rose $11,852,200. This influenced the re
quired reserve by nearly $3,00 0,000 but
tha flow of cash from the Interior was, as
stated, much in excess of this requirement.
Public deposits in the banks decreased
for the week, but lt is to be said, however,
that the statement made on Saturday did
not Include the various payments to be
made by banks into the Treasury on ac
count of withdrawal of public funds from
the former institutions, and this reduction
of from $13,000,000 to $15,000,000 In cash
will be shown in the succeeding week's bal
ance in banks.
The majority of state banks and trust
companies in Greater New York not re
porting to the New York Clearing 'House
for the week show some very heavy
changes, loans having Increased f23,623,
300, and net deposits f28,327.500. The ag
gregate net deposits of all the banks and
trust companies in New- York City now
amount approximately to $2,000,000,000, be
ing the heaviest on record.
The steady inflow of money into the
New York .banks today increased the de
posits of those which are members of the
New York Clearing-House to- tha record
figure of $1,270,324,900. . This was an In
crease of $12,600,700 over the deposits re
ported by the banks last Saturday. Th
amount of specie held in these banks also
reached a new high record of $313,894,500.
and the surplus was more than 6 per cent
In excess of the 25 per cent reserve rule.
The aggregate deposits or all banks and
trust companies was $3,157,1(13,500.
The statement shows that the banks hold
$63,883,475 more than the requirements of
the 25 per cent reserve rule. This . Is an
increase of fl, 530,575 in the proportionate
cash reserve, as compared with previous
account. The statement follows;

probably have to let go of their holdings
at a lower price than last year.

TONE IS BEARISH
Chicago Wheat Market Is
Weak All Day.
CLOSES NEAR THE LOWEST
Chief Depressing Influence Is the
Failure of the European Markets
to Respond to the 3-Cent
Advance on Friday.
CHICAGO, May 9. Sentiment In the
wheat pit was bearish all day and prices at
the close were almost at the lowest point.
The failure of European markets to respond
to any great extent to the 8c advance here
yesterday was one of the cnlef depressing
Influences. Throughout the entire session
there was free selling by longs. Several
times the market rallied moderately on
covering by shorts, but an advance brought
out Increased offerings which soon caused
a fresh decline. A number of reports were
received telling of damage by Hessian fly
in Kansas, but they were gtven scanty con
sideration, Inasmuch as the Injury Is gen
erally believed to be connned largely to
small scattered areas. Tha market closed
weak. July opened c to "4 4fc lower
at 92?i93c, sold at 8o and then
declined to 92 c The close was at 99 &
9c.
The corn market was weak. July opened
c to c lower at 84 06c. sold
off to 64 c, where lt closed. May ranged
between 72c and 74c.
Trade In oats was dull. July openen
c lower at 47 47c,.sold oft to 47o
and closed at 4747c.
Provisions were a trifle weaker early In
the day, but rallied a little during the last
hour. At the close, July pork was un
changed, lard was 2c higher and ribs
were a shade higher.
