Th price of Columbia River salmon la

switching off their trade to the Sacra'
meato River variety. Salmon of the
sune grade can be purchased and deliv
ered from Sacramento to this city,
cleaned, at a lower rate than dealers
can buy uncleaned fish on tbe lower
river. This makes a vast difference in
the price, and the result is that a ma
jority of the salmon now In the Portland
market cornea from the California
stream. The acarcity and higher figures
on the Columbia River article la due to
the competition between the canners and
cold storage men.

NEW YORK, May 8. The, Chronicle"
aaya:
A hear drive la the causa to which
obaervaat brokers . ascribe tha setback
In prices. The talk, of gold export and
tha backward seaaon being the. motive
of sellers. There Is feeling In con
servative circles tonight however, that
th market acta well and naturally that
while the reaction may ap farther stocks
are a purchase.. The short interest and
strong Interests are buying on a scale
down, money is eaay and railroad earn
ings are increasing tremendously. The
combination of favorable influences Is
counted on by adversala from tb long
side to more than counteract such ad
verse factors as tbe drop in United
States shipbuilding ts. delay In farm
work and politics. Th selling of Atchi
son is attributed to professional specu
lators, but It Is considered significant
that 15,000 shares were dealt around
80. The Inference Is that the Berwln
crowd Is taking the stock sold by bear
tradera. Despite cold weather there is
confidence in the crop outcome in Atchi
son territory and as a consequence Kan
aaa farmers are expected to have an
other money-making year. Thla argu
ment of good crop and high prices, for
them is the one most advanced tonight In
favor, not only of Atchlaon, but of Mis
souri Pacific. Moreover, It la reported
that- these systems will make strong
statements of net earning for April. In
the industrials. A C. P. is expected to be
a bull card. Tbe buying of thla stock
la attributed to Standard Oil and Lew
isohn and believed to be based on the
earnings and the unfavorable outlook for
an advance in the dividend.
' Trade reports are Improving and It la
aid in copper circles that buyers will
be paying 15 cents per pound for tb
metal by July 1, the consumption of
which is rapidly Increasing. There is
a theory that A. C. P. on a per cent
baa I a would sell above 80 and that
should tbe directors decide- to increase
the dividend it will reach that price
long before they take action.

CinCAQO, May 8. The Record-ller-ald
nays;
The present winter wheat troubles are
aupposed to reaOlt from the conditions
at seed time of tha fall. Winter wheat
waa. in the ground with an abundance ef
moisture and then followed rain after
rain throughout the fall. That, accord
ing to the crop theorist, meant a lux
uriant growth of plant, but with no
depth of root. With so much moisture
at the surface there was not the neces
sity of the root seeking depth. The con
ditions were favorable for luxuriance
but were not favorable for sturdiness
or the abUlty to withstand unfavorable
conditions in the spring and summer.
The inspection sheet showed that one
of the Armour, cargoes of No, 1 North
em wheat, 220.000 bushels, haa started
for the seaboard. The sheet also shows,
however, that the elevator concerns are
atlll turning out the contract wheat at
a rapid rate. Forty-six cars of No. I
Northern and 13.000 bushels of No. 3
red, or about 60,000 in all, were turned
out yesterday.

CHICAGO, May 8. Liverpool wheat,
to lower; corn, unchanged to
higher. The map shows continued rains
in the Southwest and rather mild
temperatures everywhere. The weather
does not seem to warm up much. There
waa heavy selling In this market yester
day through commission houses credited
to Armour. It was mainly July and It Is
estimated that It was fully 8,000,000
bushels. Apparently it went tnto the
hands of the commission houses. The
cash situation is a little disappointing.
Crop reports are mildly .unfavorable.
Nothing new on the European crop situa
tion. The cables are fairly steady, con
sidering. Looks like a scalping market
for the time being. Th cash position in
corn and oats is slow. They are both
mainly weather . markets. Oats are not
making good progress and the corn
planting Is a little late. Until the wea
ther improves neither are likely to sell
off much. Provisions are fairly ateady
at the decline, but how very little re
active tendency. Hogs are off nearly a
cent a pound from .the top.
Canadian PacltfcT' connection as to the

gained from the position of a pioneer

or the Northern Securities Company has
given to this road a certain advantage

great advantages In the near future in

, BALEM. May 8. Hopgrowers of this
vicinity are Jubilant over the outlook for
thla year's, crop. The principal yards
about Salem In fact nearly all of them
ahow a much better condition of the
hop plants than ever before at this sea
son of the year. There are less bare
hills and the vines are already ahowlng
a splendid growth.
The percentage of hills falling to
shoot up vine is by far the smallest
ever known this early in-tfee season, and
the growth la so healthy as to warrant
the statement that the outlook is ex
tremely flattering. One prominent grow
er stated last night that one of his
yards, containing eight acres, would bo
60 per cent better than ever in tltf past,
whll all the yards In his neighborhood
showed tha vines to be in a splendid
condition, and he predicted a largely in
creased yield over last year.
Zs Aurora Slat riot.
In the northern part of the county, in
th Aurora neighborhood. It Is stated,
the yarda do not appear to be quite as
thrifty as they are about Salem, but
even there they are in splendid condi
tion, and very much better than in past
seasons at the same time.
The recently reported wlro worm,
which waa reported to be doing damage
to the vines, is now causing very little
complaint and most growers state that
this threatening pest has about disap
peared. No fears are entertained from
this source as the season advances, and
tha- outlook being so very good, the
growers are hopeful or securing a
bumper crop. Added to this is the fact
that dealers are anxious to make con
tracts and some of them are making
them at from 14 to 16 cents a pound,
thus 'giving assurance of a good price,
and the growers are consequently in a
happy frame of mind.
