Th weather Is too cold a( present

hearing In the Willamette Valley and
(rowers In that section are holding- off
until a more opportune time. Through
out ,th valley the cold and moist
atmosphere during the past few weeks
has made the work of shearing the
soft fleeces a dangerous task.
Walt for Trices. " "
In Eastern Oregon there Is a small
amount of shearing being done, but
majority of the wool men are content
to wait a Jweek or two In the hot)?
of more favorable weather conditions
The dismal weather is not alone the
cause of the delay In shearing, the dull

Wool Demand Small.
mand for wool of this year's crop
riulte small,- and dealers every-
here show no Inclination to make pur
chases even at the lowest prevailing
quotations. The prospects are that this
year's shear will surpass that of last
year, and with the promise or a stead
ier market quotations look more like
an advance than a decline. Today's
ruling prices are: Valley. 15 and 16
cents; Eastern Oregon, 10 and 13 cents
Reports from Pendleton say that wool
hauling Into the warehouses Is fairly
under way and the warehouses are
being filled with this season's shear.
It is now estimated that there are
about 2,000,000 pounds of fleece in the
warehouses of that city.
Strawberries Getting Cheaper.
With the larger receipts of berries
fro . lorln. Cal., quotations In the local
markets show a material decline. The
fruit is of fair quality and Is being
sold at $1' per 15-box crate. The re
ceipts today consisted of two cars for
the local trade, one of them being the
regular consignment and the other r
riving by freight, and was diverted
from the Puget Sound market on ac
cmint of a quotation slump there. The
car by freight was thoroughly Iced,
and the fruit is of even better quality
than that which came per express.
If ore Oregon Berries.
Oregon berries are in larger receipt,
and although local quotation are al
ways above those from California,
prices today are showing a slight de
cline on account or tne larger acco
mulation of all grades. Oregon's " are
quoted today at Z and $2.2 per 24-
a . ppund crate.
Today's Ball Baoelpts.
Today's receipts by rail from Cali
fornia consisted of two oera of straw
berries. 1 car of first-class lemons and
a car of oranges.
Larger arrivals of California cherries
hss caused the quotations to drop to
day to $1 a box, and the market Is
slightly weaker. The stock is now ar
arrivlng In more numerous grades.
Bananas are in fair supply with quo
tations the same as previously report
ed, rirst-class oranges are scarcer,
and the choicer brands are bringing
slightly higher quotations.
Tbs Bnttsr Situation. -
Butter receipts seem to show a large
Increase, but the srrlvals are not too
large to keep the market from being
steady. Dairy is still In large demand
at top quotations and no stock la al
lowed to accumulate on the street. Store
Is in larger receipt and is as eagerly
picked up by the local representatives
of the' California creameries as Is the
dairy grade. Quotations today on but
ter are: Creamery, best. 22Vic; dairy,
20c; store. 17Vic. A slight advance is
'expected on store.
Poultry Continues Lively,
The past seven daya, has been a. week
unusual activity in the poultry mar-
kTbt when takon altogether. Receipts
during" that, period show a vast increase
over that of last year, but the higher
quotations on fresh meats and the
larger demand for poultry has kept the
markets on Front street cleaned up
of arrivals at the highest prevailing
quotalons.
Dullness In Heats'.
Dullness is easily apparent In the
fresh meat market, the receipts in all
Jlnes today being comparatively smalt.
Demand is, however, the Same and very
little business Is being done. Pork prices
are weaker even with the lighter re
ceipts, as most of the local butchers ace
too heavily-overstocked. There Is om
demand for the better grade of veal and
mutton, but the arrival of so., much
poorStock fs keeping the quotations
down to the lowest possible' notch.
Beet is still scarce, and all arrival
bring the highest quotations. Prices
are unchanged today.
Large Demand for Zggs.
nr a Saturday, the call for eggs
tjf&y was extra large and as recelDts
re not heavy for this period of the
year, quotations are being held stiff at
17Hc for the single cases to 17c for
those who purchase in larger lots.
Hop Business Dull.
"The hop business IS dull." savs
Julius Wolf, a leading buyer from Sil
verton, "Last week we had plenty of
ordejrs for supplies at 20 cents, but
growers would not then sell at any fig
ure under 25 cents. Now the demand
Is lulling and I can get all the hops
of last year's crop that I want at the
figures which were refused last week.
That's the way it goes: when we have
orders, we . cannot do business on ac
count Of the refusal of the growers to
sen, and, when there are no orders in
sight, everybody wants to make an early
disposal of their holdings.
- "Business in hops during the entire
weeK has bnvetra dull anff I cannot
remember of one salt btlrig .fliadft bjr a
(rawer to a dealer. There) was. bow
ever, quite a large sate" made tor one
of the local deaiers to an Eastern house
at 29 cents, but that one Jneldent Is all
that has transprred in the local markets
during the week." ,

Speculators Are Leary as
June Approaches.
Hard to Tell Just What Damage Grain
v Has Encountered Until After
the Harvest.
By special permission of Bolton, Do
Ruyter & Co.
CHICAGO, - May 2J. The Becord
Herald says:
"There Is a general disinclination to
buy wheat at this time of the year,"
says aWUllam T. Baker, "and I have
the popular hesitancy about owning
train us Juno approaches. I have be
1 loved from the outset, though, that
the estimates on this crop is exagger
ated. I, have thought that the crop was
Unpaired In the fall, by the Hessian fly
and I nm convlnoed now that the pros
pect was reduced by the freeae in early
May.
Mo Ttlllmg UstU Harvest. -
"Cold weather never discloses Its
effect on a wheat crop until the har
vest. It does not Injure the- blado but
It does occasionally kill the germ. I
am convinced that we are to have a
cood foreign demand this year pos
sibly the best we have ever had. 1 am
disposed to agree too with some very
good men in the trade that the con
sumption Of wheat in the world has
overtaken and has possibly passed the
supplies. We have had a period of al
most 90 years since -Xttm - breaking of
wheat land In the Northwest In the
Sixties, during which wheat supplies
have been Increasing and the short
sellers have been almost uninterrupted
money makers.
' Tire signs are now that there Is now
to be a change. If this is true, it Is
really the most Important feature of
prlce-mnklng and ought to be borne In
mind In the forming or tne .price
theories."
Oats Sight, Says rattea.
"I don't believe," says Jsmes A. Pat
ten, "tnat the new crop of oats has up
to the oresent been Impaired. But no
one knows an yet Just what sort of
weather the oat harvester is to nave
nd I do not know very certain as to
the supplies of old oats back In the
country.
"Theiie uncertainties as to supplies
and the weather conditions throughout
the harvest keep the July a dOubtful
proposition. There Is . sn energetlcJ

gales of Cash Corn.
The country sales of cash corn ye
tenlay were estimated at about $00,
000 bushels in Illinois and there was
selling from Nebraska points as well
as this state. The corn speculator,
however, pays very little attention to
the country selling, which was the
heaviest so far. Futures closed higher
yesterday than they penea on Thur
dav.
At present the Eastern demand is
fullv up to. the local supply and appar
ntly until the country movement in
this direction exceeds the Eastern buy
ing demand, tlft speculator will be
rather Indifferent as to what the ele
vator man is doing in the West.
Wkeat Seduction la Germany.
"There has been some reduction In
tho whest crop prospects at home.
ssye H. P. Newman, a grain merchant
of Hamburg, who was on the floor yes
terday. "I am uncertain as to the
exact position because I have been
away from home for several weeks.
We look for a liberal business with
this country this season and especially
large if America has a fine quality of
hard winter wheat.

FIGHTING GOULD
Cutting of Western Union Wires by
Railway Causes Row.
NEW YORK. Jlay it Although Bent
Iment tonight is somewhat dampened by
the strained relatlong between the Penn
sylvania people and George J. Cinuld, a
condition to which attention litis been un
pleasantly directed by the action of the
Pennsylvania Company In cutting down
hundreds of iriilea of Western Union
Telegraph poles und wires, the best
oplnlomucontlnue to favor the purchusf
of sotlVe stocks on recessions, it Is nd
mltted that th Oould-Cassett, ontro
versy Is an ugly factor and the impres
sion Is quite general that the rennsyl.
vanla is retaliating upon the Gould
for extending the Wabash into Pttts
burg. Behind Gould. It Is snld. quietly
pushing him on in the policy of u agres
sion Is John D. Rockefeller. All this, of
course; gives rise to fears of . factionul
fight that might and disastrously to the
stock market But It is arguod thut the
Interests at stake are so vast thut a set
tlement of the difficulty l more prob
able than a protracted wnrfMic. At all
events the matter is overshadowed at
the moment by Influences wmking in fa
vor of price improvements, it is con
sidered highly Important that crop con
ditions in both tho winter wheut and
corn belt have been greatly Improved
by the general rains. The settlement of
the strike troubles on the 1'nlon Pacific
snd Great Northern are also a help to
confidence. t. .

Chicago Was Irregular and Operations
Were of a Scalping Order
-Provisions Firm.
Logan & Bryan's dally grain letter to
Bolton, de Ruyter Jt Co.:
. CHICAGO, May 23. Tho Liverpool
wheat market is lower to higher;
Paris unchanged to higher; Antwerp
unchanged. Broonihall make (h
worlds' shipments 12,000.000 and little
change on pnssage. Tho market here
was irregular and operations ure n
tirely of a scalping character. The
southwest continues to send unfavor
able crop reports, but not to a sufficient
degree to materially enlarge Investment
buying. The cables show no tendency,
but are Indifferent to the advances here.
The weather - is generally favorable
throughout tho West, but advices today
tell of some damage by heavy rlns In
the Red River Vulley. The visible sup
ply on Monday will show a fiilr decieaw.
Stocks arc light und there is not much
prrssuro from that cuiirc. KHtlmated
cars Monday, 35.
Liverpool Corn Higher. ,
Liverpool corn g higher. The
market here Is quiet and steHdy. There
is enough cash demand to makn the lo
cal spot situation a fairly firm one.
Speculative operations are not large, but
the tendency of local feeling Is bearish
on the prospects of a large movement In
the next 10 days. The weather rondt
tlons generally are favorable for the
crop. Estimated cars Monday. 4!0.
The oata market here is very quiet and
steady. The spot situation contlnuew
slow and the weather on the whole Is
favorable for the growing crop. What
ever the conditions at the moment are.
With favorablo weather, they are likely
to Improve. Estimated cars Monday,
246.
Provisions Firm.
The provlfiion market is a little firm
er. The receipts of hogs today were
36,000, against 37,000 last year. There
Is no Jmprovemenl In the cash demand
and speculative operations are small,
with enough talk of Armour and Swift
support to prevent much selling pres
sure at the moment. It looks as If we
are going into season of a great many
hogs, with the consumption restricted
by the comparatively high price of pro
ducts. If so, i. will be difficult for the
packers to maintain existing prices.
flpsonlation Hot Popular.
NEW YORK, May 23 Large specu
lative ventures in a commodity such as
cotton, are not popular with financiers
having a thorough economic ability In
values, or a continuance of undisturbed
trade conditions snd on the other hand,
the limited supplies of rotton were a
bsr to a selling movement, which would
bring all of the avsllable cotton In
America to this port. The effect has sl
ready been to produce abnormal .condi
tion in this respect and It is hoped that
much of this cotton will be, shipped out
and relieve the strain on the world's
spot markets, though It is not expected
an Important decline can take place. We
look for continued strength abroad
though with possibly less activity.
