V TIJE SUXDAY OREGOMAX, PORTLAXD, JUNE 28, 1908. CHEESE WILL GO UP Market Sik!d6nly Turns Strong :, ;ahd Active. MAY ADVANCE WEDNESDAY Heavy Ruiiir Greatly Keduees Lo eal Storks and Available Sup ply at Iacfories Is Exhaust ed Firmer in East. The pr?t intrrostinfr feature in the pro duce trade yesterday v.aa the firmness ihoR-n In the cheese market. A short time .po it looked as If lower prices were in evitable as the heavy receipts made a top heavy market, but conditions have changed rather suddenly, and now, Instead, of. a de rline, everything points to an advance. The rife will probably amount to cent and It Is expected to ko Into effect on July 1. Buying: orders were heavy yesterday, not only on local account, but also from outside markets. Seattle and Tacoma are Buying more liberally than for some time past and other points In the Nortn are se miring' cheese here. Local supplies are slcaning up and It 1b probable that by the middle of the week the largest handlers will have but little to offer. Advices from Tillamook yesterday were that the supply i vail able, there was exhausted. One of the principal factors In strengthening the Ore gon market has been the advance that has taken place In the East. CEACHK9 rLENTirtli AXD C1TEAP Cantaloupe Also Helling at Unusually Low ITices. Front street Is heavily stocked with Cali fornia peaches and they are- selling at an unusually Inw price for this time of year, (10 to 00 cents a box. They are small, as is to be expected of the early varieties, but ere otherwise of good quality, and tt Is a matter of surprise that they do not move better. Home canners seem to be overlook ing an opportunity to get very fair fruit at an exceedingly low price. The supply was Increased yesterday by another carload, but the Jobbers refused to take them, alleging the small size of the fruit. Another car is due Monday morning. Apricots were In light supply and higher. Cantaloupes are also going at ridiculous prices, yesterday's quotations being 75 cents to $1.5 per crate. Even at these figures the movement was limited. The uncertain weather has operated against trade all the week. Nearly all kinds of vegetables are In good supply, beans and peas especially. The sea son for old potatoes Is over and the market is weak and nominal for the few lots re maining. Among yesterday's arrivals was a ship ment ..of -Jarxc Honolulu pineapples, which wero offered at $4. Some alligator pears were also received and quoted at $3.50 per dozen.

Factors In the Sugur Market. The governing influence in the sugar mar ket at present, according to & New York authority Is the adjustment of consumption to the production and what Is to be the extent of the reduction In the supply. A consumption equal to that of last year will bring supplies down and higher . prices ..would be warranted. But we must wait and see. The market needs assurance, through an Increase In the present demand, that the consumption Is equal to that of last year; that the big fruit crops will counterbalance the general business depression; It needs as surance that the European markets won't give way under the influence of favorable beet-growing weather or the fear of the BOO.0O0 tons Russian exports after Septem ber 1 to the United Kingdom. Better Tone in E;rg Market. The egg market exhibits a steadier tone, us a result of lighter arrivals, but the lemand is not sufficient as yet to lift prices. Retailers continue to complain of musty eggs, which Is attributed to country shippers holding back supplies too long. The poultry market was active yesterday and all the receipts cleaned up. There was a strong demand for hens around 12 cents. The butter movement was good and pre vious prices were quoted all along the line. General Advance In Provision List. A new provision price list will go into efTect Monday morning, quoting general ad vances In smoked meats. Hams of all sizes and shoulders will be quoted 1 cent higher. The advance in breakfast bacon Is -cent and there will be a similar rise In dry salt and smoked clears and backs. Hunk Clearings.

BONDS ARE FIRMER But Net Changes in Stock 'Prices.Are Small. MARKET IS VERY SLUGGISH Probability , of Early Call From Treasury Department for Another targe Installment of Gov ernment Deposits. NEW YORK. June 27. The . dull and sluggish stock market continued to show tho reluctance of professional operator to fol low transactions far from a fixed level of prices. Mr. Morgan's optimistic outgiving be fore his departure for Europe brought prices up somewhat from the declines caused earlier In the week in sympathy with the break In the Rock Island securities. The average level of the market having returned near to last Saturday', closing level, the movement prac tically ceased today. Net changes on the week will be found to be insignificant, except in special cases. ... There was nothing in today's news to stir the market from its apathy. Bankers are discussing the probability of an early call from the Treasury Department for return of another large Installment of Government de posits, owing to the continued heavy deficit in Government .revenues. The money . market gives evidence of such redundancy, however, that littl. attention is paid to anything threatening a reduction of supplies. Some curiosity is shown over pofaible further demands for gold from Berlin and Paris after the tarn of the half year. London reports large offering of Berlin paper in that money market in spite of the relaxation of discounts at the German Capital. Paris also is ex pected to take next Monday's supply of gold in the London market. Nevertheless, money is expected to. become plethoric in New York after the turn of the half year. The bond market today- -was appreciably firmer, though dull, and this may represent demand for reinvestment of July 1 disburse ments. Weather conditions of the day were favor able for the crop situation, but there was some slight selling in the final dealings by yesterday's discouraged buyers. . The bank statement revealed a surplus re serve of over fuu.ouO.UOO and explains the feeling of assurance of early provisions alnst all contingencies. Total sales of bonds, par value, tS16,000. United States s have declined 14 and the 3s U per cent on call-durlng the week. " CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS. Closing Sales. 4,3'K)' 1.11)0 1X) High. 34 - 30 ij Low. Bid.

HOUSES AXD AVOOjL BRIXG OVER $600,000. Sheepmen Believe That Better Val ues Will Prevail After Pres idential Election. HEPPXER, Or., June ST. (Special.) That HPppner Is a market place lor the ftock industry Is borne out by the figures produced at the local stockyards and wool warehouses. This has been a backward year for stock of all kinds, as -p ell as other products of the ranch, but for a town the size of Hcppner it speaks well for it as a business center.. Business has been better in this town this Spring than any other town for its size in the eastern part of the state. This Spring the sheep sales were consid erably smaller than last year, owing to the fact that the price had shrunk all the way from 50 cents to a dollar on the head, and many sheepmen are holding their lambs for a later market or until next Spring, when they think they will be able to get what they think they are worth. The average price paid this Spring for sheep to go upon the ranges of Montana and AVyoming is $2.0f and that for the local mutton market of Troutdale and Portland was ?:i.2.Y Since January 1 the Portland and Trout dale markets have consumed over 1000 head of mutton sheep, which Itwve nnlted tho growers $:1250. and over 61,0I head to go upon the ranges netted the growers $156,XK. The last train of sheep, which left here the first of the week, for Montana, carried 500 head of bucks, which were sold at $7.50 each. The sale of sheep alone has brought into the hands of the growers of this local ity $103,000, but this is not the only revenue derived. Heppner will market a good 3.000.000 pounds of woo this season at an average price of 12 cents per pound, footing up in round figures $360,000, which brings the totnl receipts from the shep business up to $5113,000. Heppner has shipped 2240 head of beef cattle at an average price of $15 per head, and over $3000 worth of horses have gone to other markets. The result of the output of stock from this place has brought into the hands of the producers $036,000. The figures given do not include blooded stock of any natcie, but simply stock taken from the ranges and landed on the markets. There are numerous herds of blooded bucks in this county that would bring a far bet ter price than $7-50, and the same is trut of horses and cattle.. It is necesasry for the stockman of today to receive a larger price for his stock than lt was a few years ago. T he stockman now owns his own Winter range, and his Summer-range is still furnished by the Govern ment, but he must pay a grazing privilege, and these facts, coupled with the rise of land values, cuts into the profits of the grower. Sheepmen have been mere fortunate than any other class of stockmen durng the past five or six years. Sheep have been on a gradual increase until this Spring, when the market slumped about 15 per cent and the price of wool dropped off from 4 to S cents per pound. However, the growers are op timistic, and flsure that things will straighten out satisfactorily after the Pres idential election this Fall. PORTLAND UVKSTOCK MARKET.

RALLY IS SHARP Wheat Market at Chicago Turns Strong. CENT AND HALF ADVANCE Upturn Due to Small Primary Re ceipts and Holding or X'ew Wheat by Farmers in Southwest. Corn and Oats l-'irm. CHICAGO. June 17. The wheat market was firm all day with the exception of a brief period of uneasiness at the start, due to a renewed profit-taking in the July de livery. Liquidating sales at the opening were brought out chiefly by lower cables and by a continuance of favorable weather for harvesting the new crop of wheat In this country. The market rallied sharply during the first half hour and held strong the remainder of the day. The upturn was due to small receipts of wheat at all pri mary points In the "United States and to reports that farmers In the Southwest were stacking their new wheat rather than sell at prevailing prices. Julv opened ?c to t?4c lower at S4VitS4c, sold at SIHo ana then advanced to bo?c. closing strong at 83 c Corn opened easy, owing to favorable weather for the growing crop and to the break in wheat. The market, however, soon rallied on buying by shorts and con tinued 'firm the rest of the day. July closed at fiSe. Oots followed the course of wheat and corn, the market being easy at the start and becorAlng firm early in the session. July closed at 44lC.

RESERVE GROWS LARGER NEW YORK BAXKS HOLD REC ORD AMOUNT OF CASH. "Weekly Statement Is Complicated by SI lowing Made by Trust Companies. NEW YORK. June 27. The Financier will say: The statement of the Associated Hanks of New York City for the week ending' June 27 differed radically in every Horn from the generally expected showing. It was known, for instance, that the banks had gained more than $10,000,000 In cash during the week through their operations with the sub treasury and the interior, and as stock market speculation has . been dormant, it was generally anticipated that little change would be made In tho loan account. How ever, the report of the actual conditions of the banks to the clearing-house on Sat urday showed an increase in specie and Icg-al tenders of only $3,372,400, while there was reported a decrease in loans amounting to $19,747,700. Deposits, as a result of the changes noted, decreased S14.347.000. and the surplus reserve increased $,i93,32o, bringing the total actual surplus reserve to $08,233,925. Kxcluding Government depos its, on which no reserve Is necessary, the surplus cash in the New York banks above the 26 per cent requirement is now in ex cess of $72,030,000, and the banks hold $3 &6, 5 UO. 000 in gold and legal tenders, the largest amount on record. The only explanation which can be given for the unexpected changes in the leading items fs to be found in the summary of state banks and trust companies in the Greater New York clearing house. These Institutions, particularly the trust compa nies, reported for the week ending Satur day an increase of $8,750,000 in loans, and an Increase of more than $3,000,000 in specio and legal tenders, the cash increase being due to the fact that the trust companies on July 1 must by law increase the amount of cash reserve carried in their own vaults. The net deposits of the state banks and trust companies rose during the week $13,847,700. The statement of average conditions nf the clearing-house banks for th week shows that the banks hold $06.09 8. S00 more than the requirements of the 5 per cent reserve Portland Construction Company OF PORTLAND, OREGON ENGINEERS AND BUILDERS OP ELECTRIC RAILROADS, POWER GENERATING PLANTS AND CONCRETE DAMS.
