THE SUNDAY OREGOXIAX, PORTLAND, JULY .12, 190R
A DRUG QN MARKET
Cherries Are Hard to Move at
Very Low Prices.
THOUGH CROP IS LIGHT
Canneries Are Small Buyers This
Year and Prices Have Suffered.
Duty on Foreign Maras- B
chinos Demanded.
Cherries are a drug on the market,
ilthoug-h the crop is lighter this year
than last. A year ago, with a big yield,
iherries -were selling briskly at 8 to
i cents. Now they are offering on
Front street at 2 to 5 cents. Even
this low price does not clean them up.
At the close of business last night,
leveral tons of the fruit were Btill
on hand in the produce district.
.It is a poor year in most lines of
fruit, as crops are large and the de
mand is less active than In former
pears. The principal outlet heretofore
has been the canneries, but this year
they are not buying with their accus
tomed freedom and the market Is
therefore depressed. That is what is
. the matter with the cherry trade.
It Is usual for the canners to sell
their estimated output to the jobbing
trade before the fruit season arrives,
ind the contracts thus made . are the
collateral on which funds are secured
for financing the canning operations.
This year, however, the canners have
not been able to dispose of futures, or
t least only a small part of them, ow
ing to the depressed conditions in the
canned fruit trade and, therefore, they
are not buying the fresh fruit, except
in limited quantities and at a low
price. The figure offered by the local
manners for No. 1 Royal Ann cherries
Is 3 cents and 10 per cent less on
cracked fruit. Their light buying has
thrown the bulk of the crop on the
open market and prices have conse
quently suffered.
The canning situation at Salem took
on an interesting aspect for a time, but
the excitement has now subsided. The
canners in that city also offered 3
cents for cherries, but made it a part
of the offer that the growers should
contract to deliver the two following
crops at the same figure, a demand
that the growers naturally rejected.
The balcm canners now are .buying
spot cherries at 3 cents and letting the
future proposition rest.
A factor of considerable importance
In keeping prices" down is the large
importation of foreign Maraschino
cherries. These are admitted free of
duty and are being laid down at New
York at 5 cents a pound, cooperage In
cluded. An agitation has been started
by the horticultural interests here to
induce Congress to put a duty on the
article which will bring the landed
price up to 6 or 6 cents without the,
cooperage, or equal to 8 cents laid
down here. This will permit the Ore
gon growers to sell their Royal Anns
at 5 cents and compete with the for
eign Maraschino.
HOP CROP CONDITIONS IN EUROPE.
Reports From the Kngllsh and German
Yards.
English plantation reports are given
in the Kentish Observer of June 25
as follows:
Ashford The warmer weather ha
made the hops grow, but they are
backward in this parish compared with
many elsewhere. No washing has been
done yet, although there are quite a
lot of fly and lice. Cultivation is
fairly good.
Canterbury. The cool east winds of
the last few days checked growth and
damaged a good many bines. The plant
generally, however, stilt looks healthy
and vigorous. Vermin does not in
crease much.
Capel (Weald). Prospects here are
remarkably bright, the bine being pro
lific and full of vigor. There is scarcely
any vermin.
Goudhurst (Weald). The hop plant
could not well look better. The
growth continues unchecked, and in
the forward sorts the laterals are al
ready being thrown out. A few fly
may be found, but there will be 'no
need to wash unless something much
worse than this appears. Everything
at present points to a big crop,
Maidstone District. Considerable
progress has been made by the bine
during the past week, and the outlook
Is remarkably good all round, but, of
course, more marked in the well
farmed plantations. There is practi
cally no vermin.
The Medway Valley. Very little al"
teratlon this week except that the bine
grows fast and is well on top of the
strings. There is a slight Increase of
fl' and vermin, but still a lot of fly
goldlngs, and no one as yet has started
washing. Altogether the bine looks
exceedingly well.
Wye and Houghton Aluph. There
has been a great growth of bine this
week. Fly and lice keep about the
same.
North Hereford. The bine Is making
very good progress considering the
cold nights we are having. Washing
unnecessary at present. Ladybirds
very numerous, and are clearing the
bine of blight.
South Worcester. Hops are show
ing every indication of being very
niuoh blighted this season. The leaves
are now covered with honeydew and
lice, and unless washing Is carried on
persistently it will be impossible to
check the disease. ,
A later report says: Hops continue
to grow. Hut the fly is on the Increase
and also honeydew.
Adolph Heller writes from Prague,
under date of July -'-:
"The Bohemian hop plantations made
fair progress during the past week,
but the unevenness of bine does not
point to a heavy crop. The fly and
Hoe which cre reported last week
are still hanKliisr about, without hav
ing increased. Weather continues very
favorable.
"Although there is also unevenness
of bine in the German hop districts,
the state of the plantations is on the
whole a good one. Markets are quiet
and the small transactions passing at
late quotations."
YVKSTFRX WOOLS SKLLING IN EAST
Transfer of a Bit Itlook of Montana Cloth
ing Wool.
Western wools are moving with a
fair degree of freedom in the Eastern
markets. In addition to the sales of
Oregon wools already noted, a big
sale of Montana clothing wool is re
ported from Koston, the amount being
in the neighborhood of 1,500.000 pounds
at 15 to IS cents, the scoured cost be
ing 4B to 4" cents. There are also
many transfers of territory wools sold
to arrive and subject to approval. A
good amount of fine territory has been
sold at Boston at 17 cents, the scoured
cost being estimated at 50 cents. Fine
staple Is quoted at 55 to 57 cents clean,
and has sold on that basis. Half-blood
staple is worth about S2 cents. Three
eighths sells to cost 47 to 4S cents.
The Boston Commercial Bulletin, of
latest date, says of the situation:
"A firm market is now talked where
formerly values were a good deal of
an airangement between the buyer and
seller. The necessity to sell was great,
and the buyer generally had things
pretty much his own way. Now this is
all changed. Holders have plucked up
courage and will not accept any and
all bids. Actual advances are noted
on staple territory wools, and all
grades of fleeces are marked up.
Strictly clothing wools do not show
the buoyancy of staple. They, too,
however, are firmer In that holders find
it easier to obtain prices which for
merly they asked in vain."-
OLD CROP WHEAT IS QUOTED WEAKER
No Transactions In Futures at the Board of
Trade.
Grain men, anticipating the opening
of the new crop market at around 75
cents in the country, are not quoting
spot club wheat on track here at over
84 cents. No material change in the
crop situation east of the mountains
is reported, but it is believed that the
cool weather has been of some benefit
Very little business is reported in new
wheat. Some of the independent buyers
in the interior are said to have madet
contracts, but the local exporters are
averse to entering the market at this
time. Nor are the farmers generally dis
posed to sell their wheat now.
A very slight improvement Is noted
In the export flour market in the way
of late inquiries and some business
with Japan is reported at a figure con
siderably better than the Orientals
have been disposed to offer recently.
The speculative wheat market was
quiet yesterday and nominal prices
were posted at the Board of Trade.
There were offers to sell December
wheat at 84 cents and 82 cents was
bid. For December barley, $1.10 was
bid and $1.15 asked.
Receipts for the day were seven cars
of wheat, one car of oats, one car of
corn and six cars of hay.
The range of futures was as follows:

JERRY COUSINS' AUTOMOBILES TRIP
Famous Potato Man Says Market Prospects
Are Good.
A. H. Cousins, known all over the
Pacific Coast as Jerry Cousins, the po
tato man, was in the city yesterday.
Mr. Cousins is now a resident of Santa
Cruz, Cal., but Is preparing to embark
in the potato business at Seattle again
this Summer. He says the market
prospects show some improvement, as
the early frosts and later hot, dry
weather will materially cut down the
California crop.
Mr.- Cousins came North from San
Francisco as far as Ashland in an
automobile, and he says he had the
time of his life on the trip. There was
no mistaking Oregon when he crossed
the line, as there was an almost sud
den change from dry, parched oountry
to green and fruitful fields. The hunt
ing and fishing in the mountains was
great. The machine was left a few
days at Ashland, and Mr. Cousins will
return there today by rail to complete
the auto trip to Seattle.
FRUIT DOES NOT CLEAN UP.
Two Cars Each of Watermelons and Canta
loupes Due Monday.
The fruit trade was fair in the fore
noon, but was not sufficient to absorb
all the offerings and prices on many lines
suffered before the hour for closing. Lo
gan berries sold at 75 cents to $1 a crate
in the morning and late in the afternoon
the price was cut to 60 cents. Raspberries
and other soft fruits were also weak. A
few crates of strawberries came in and
they were taken at $1. 25 $1.50. an ad
vance of 25 cents over Friday's price.
Cantaloupes cleaned up at a fair figure.
Two cars are due Monday and will,
doubtless, sell well. Two cars of water
melons will also be on sale tomorrow.
A car' of peaches is due Monday. Goose
berries continue to come along, a fine
shipment being received from Lyle, which
was quoted at 5 cents a pound.
OfKESIS WILL BE HIGHER MONDAY.
Half Cent Advance in All Grade Eess
Climbing- Vp.
Cheese quotations will be advanced one
half cent Monday, bringing the price of
twins and triplets up to 14 cents.
The butter market was firm and active
with no change In conditions here or else
where. Sales of eggs were reported by a few
dealers at 24 cents, 'but the general quo
tations were 22H23 cents. The de
mand was active and receipts fair. . A
25-cent market Is expected in the com
ing week.
There was a good demand for chick
ens of all kinds at full prices, but ducks
and geese were slow. -

ADVANCE AT OPENING
Realizing as Result xt Adjournment
of Democratic Convention.
Demand for Six
Months' Loans. .
NEW YORK, July 11. The specu
lative tone today lacked decision and
the fluctuations of prices were uncer
tain, as the room traders shifted their
operations from one side to the other
of the market. The early advance re
vealed the needs of the bears who put
out short contracts yesterday on a
large scale when they detected the
volume of the profit-taking- sales.
When prices rallied today, with the
help of the short covering:, the sales
to take profits were made and the
bears, perceiving this, renewed their
short sales. The motive underlying
the selling: was the realizing on ac
count of the adjournment of the Demo
cratic convention, earlier purchases
having: been made in anticipation of a
new demand for securities with the
completion of the work of the two con
ventions. There was little news bearing on
values.
The money market came in' for ad
ditional consideration, a feature being
some Increased demand for six months'
loans carrying over the end of the
year. While the present nominal rate
for call loans offers an attraction for
these day-to-day accommodations, ap
parently the 3 per cent rate for six
months' loans seems sufficiently rea
sonable to Induce some provisions
against needs for that period in con
sideration of a possible tightening of
the' money market during the Fall. The
firm tone of the foreign -exchange
market at a rate near the gold export
level and the knowledge that Berlin is
still offering extra inducements to se
cure gold kept alive the question Of a
renewal of the gold outgo.
The strength in the grain markets
mitigated against the stock market'
and there was no effective recovery
from the weakness. Intimations of a
decline in the banking surplus, to be
shown by the bank statement, were
heard before the market closed.
Bonds were irregular. Total sales,
par value, $1,456,000. United States
2s have declined per cent on call
during the week.

Sharp Advance in Cantaloupe Prices
Threshing; Returns.
SEATTLE, July 11. (Special.) Advices re
ceived here today at the Grain Inspector's of
fice Indicate the wheat yields around Walla
Walla will be heavier than last year. Some
fields are yielding as high as 40 bushels to
the acre. The strong attitude of growers
Is holding up the price of old wheat. A
prominent miller bid 92 cents today. The
first new wheat Is expected here next week.
Eggs continued their upward course today,
closing a cent higher than yesterday, at 28
cents. Higher prices in a measure are due
to the desire of dealers to get the market
high enough to handle April storage eggs in
place of fresh Eastern. Butter was dull and
featureless.
Poultry advanced half a cent to 12 cents.
New end old potatoes were scarce today.
The feature in the produce market was the
strength of cantaloupes. In spite, of heavy
receipts, the market advanced, from $1 to $3.

BULLS II CONTROL
But Wheat Market Is Nervous
. Most of Day.
CLOSES HALF-CENT UP
All Xews Is Bullish, but Possibility
or Rain Before Monday Unsettles-
Sentiment Provisions
Still Advancing;.
CHICAGO, July 11. Trade In the wheat
pit was active and the market was nerv
ous the greater part of the day. Sentiment
throughout the session was bullish. The
chief factor In the situation was the con
tinuation of the dry. hot weather in the
Northwest, particularly In North Dakota.
Higher prices at Llverpcol. however, had
considerable influence. The possibility that
rains might dispel before Monday the tor
rid wave in the Spring . wheat country
brought out liberal "evening up" sales by
local holders and this had a tendency to
keep the market In an unsettled condition.
September wheat opened c to
-lc higher, at 80 to 90c. sold off to 89
8ic and then advanced to W0c and closed
c higher, at 90c
September corn opened c to lle
higher, at 7474c. sold between 74c
and 75c and closed at 7494c
September" oats opened 'S'e higher,
at 41 41 c, advanced to 44Vic and closed
at 41c.
Extremely small receipts of live hogs at
Western packing centers brought out an
active demand for provisions. At the close.
