EasternjOregon shear' f lng Is on In earnest In some of the f districts, but there has bean very little 1 movement of the clip up to date.

Sugar In the East Is stronger for the refined, and higher -quotations on all grides would not be i unexpected, 1 The demand for coffees Is normal. (the prospects of a large crop In South .America during the coming season hav ling much to do with keeping the. mar- tket from making strong advances. Tlrst Tea Tickings. The first tea picking has been con 'eluded in Japan and the crop ha been already marketed. Quotations on the first grades are from S to S cents a pound higher than the same grades sold for during the former season. The " picking for the second'a has been begun and It will be but a short time before the work Is finished and the product made ready for the market. There Is now every Indication that the quotation on the second's will be about the same as that of former years. , ' Canned Oeods Situation. The canned goods altuatlorf In this city although quite dull at tha'resent time. It Is likely to show more activity within the course of a few weeks. Re ports from the various Eastern packing centers state that the canned vegetable market will be conslderablyhorter this season on account of the coolness of the weather. New York reports tell of .the large damage to tomatoes In that section. Some of the San Francisco 'packers have opened the quotations for (standard future tomatoes at TS cents '..if. Cv b. that city. It la yet too early to 'ay with any degree of accuracx..4uit, --wnarTCTmaruons win prevail in tomatoes and it is rather too early In the, season to make predictions.

Some of the larger dealers are placing large stocks In the cold storage lirstltu i tions In an endeavor to hold the market '.up, but their efforts are very likely to rtprova unsuccessful. Today a majority of the local sales were made at 17 Cents . and even It 1-3 cents was not refused for the larger orders. M Jrlod Trait Quiet. ' The market for dried fruits is quiet with the lack of the spirited demand -that wee so preytleirt few weeks ago. 1 Holders of stocks in California. and Or egon are, pooling their Interest in an en- ivor to boost the market, uuota- tons are unchanged today. The Sail eoeipts Receipts from the South per rail today consisted of 1 oar of Mediter ranean Sweets, 1 oar of bananas and 1 i car of Florin strawberries. The berry season in the South is fast reaching Its end and atqeka are not in such a fine rondition as they were during the last ) week.' Oregon' are still alow In arriv ing and quotations are still being held .' t fairly steady.

On ; that date the freight rate , for the fish to the East will be oonsld 'erably advanced and the dealers are anxious to get their stocks at the pres ent prevailing rate. rt .1- Today's quotations, as revised, are - ii rf6iiewiv r' -' - 1 ' tntn 11m BrnsTTair . aatRra' t- Craln, Flour and faed. wwt-walla walla.

BEET SUGAR INCREASES Grande Bond Valley Parmera Planting Additional Acres Industry is la y " Infancy. i Journal Special Service.) LA GRANDE, Or., May 27. Matters are very quiet in the Grande Ronde Valley at preaent. -. The - farmers are busy attending to their ' crops. The season la later than usual. The bct sugar Industry has made great strides this year. Fully 3.000 acres have been planted. l.QOO.of whlch.il dn irrigated land.: The plants are now-of sufficient growth to permit-thinning. Hundreds of laborers . are pushing this work as rapidly aa possible. The. field superintendent states that the farmers are beginning to see the necessity for lrrlgatlngv the ,. crop and that " there will soon be an organised effort to Increase the Irrigated area. Some ' Of the farmers . are of the opinion that the owners of the sugar factory will put In extensive ditches and charge the farmers for the use of the water. They say that the company is arrte to do this and that the In creased returni in the quantity anJ quality of the crop would pay them. At present the factory can use from 360 to 400 tons of beets every 1 4 hours. The product from" an acre carles from throe- to JO tons. - Land producing 10 tons or more per . acre will return a handsome .profit to the grower. The Industry la only la ita infancy in this section, however.

I think that 19 to 60 per cent of the soft winter wheat will be as much as we can expect based on last year's crop." The contract stock of wheat decreased for the week 22.000 bushels, the con tract corn decreaaed 48,000 bushels; the standard oats increased 46,000 bush els and the No. 2 oats made no change. These contract stocks now Include 2.- 86,000 bushels of Wi!.at:v 1:ft4,Bl002 bushels of corn; 667,000 bushels of standard oats and 22,000 bushels of No. oats. The Armour liquidation of May wheat on Monday and the delivery out of the red winter wheat were only half forgot- "'ir" dfcS the day. jook May. ana jasi at tno ciosa was a larger ouyer oi Jtuy. ai in Armour operations now are interpreted to mean merely tSe gathering in of all the good caah whent in sight. The premium of 1 cents for No. 1 Northern over the May already Indicates what it may bo worth to Northern wheat during eha next few months. "It Is an over-sold wheat market In my opinion, the world over." says W. H Lake: "We know ths commission houses here are not long on wheat. Fveryone has the erase to sell short because we aro going Into a new. crop and because we are almost at June. I regard It as an over-sold market, and I, b&ieve the prices will get Into Uie 80's and pdsilbly Into the 60s." s "Corn everywhera'thla season from to dava to two weeks late." savs Tani- nel C. Seatten. "TVat mean' delay In movement. If those who opera through Illinois have bought as much corn the past week as they have been Claiming, there should be aome alight yielding of the market when that grain cornea; along. But I half believe the ng - urea have been made to look as 1ara a possible in order to affect the market. There,! no corn elsewhere except from this state." - The oat crop wui oe seriously cur tailed by dr6uht covering New Tork, Pennsylvania, New Enfland nod .-iba Middle "Atlantic Bta'tea, lncludfrig Vir ginia, and will reduce the price from of Ontario and Quebec and large area. la viijv, . nuiKiiK nu iiiiiivia, . ma ,c- rltory raises an immense quuttlty of In Ohio, Indiana and Illinois.

COPPER KINGS TO YORK NEW MINES Experts are Investigating' the ' Properties That Are Said to Exist Near Mount St, Helens and Mount Adams. R. B Martin, a Representative of Clark and Heinze, Tells of the Wealth in Cascade Range That is Still Undeveloped. powerful Influences are at present active for the control and ultimate de velopment of the more promising, mln- ral lodes which seam the Mt. St. Helens and Mt Adama mining dis tricts. ; This move gives opportunity for Portland to open up a new and profitable avenue of trade, establish ad ditional railroad connections, secure one or more smelters with large pay rolls and reap many aubstantlal ad vantages which are attendant upon the proximity of prosperous mining camps. Three of the moat heavily financed and aggressive combinations of capital on earth are engaged in a fierce strug gle for the control ' of the copper out put of the world. They are the United Copper Company, at the head of which is jneinse or Montana: the Amftlaa- mated Copper Company, controlled by the Rockefeller interests, and the Inde pendent company, represented by Sena tor w. A. Clark. xperta on the Orouad. While the object of the three great trusts is to gain a monopoly of the copper supply, neither one of them Is adverse' to the acquisition of any kind of a mining proposition which looks good. Within the past two weeks Port land has been visited by the represen tatives of Helnse and Rockefeller, both of whom are now In the Cascades around Mt.- St. Helens,. , Those who are in toucn witn mining affairs know that for a number of years a brother of Senator Clark has made Portland his headquarters and has made a number of trips to the Cascades and examined 11 number of properties and thoroughly investigated conditions and the enainat routes of access to the mlnoral. At the time of his death, which occurred recently, a number of deals were pend ing for the purchase--. of copper and gold ledges from Portland parties. R. a. Martin, an expert in the em ploy of Hetnse, left Portland on Mon day for the Cascades. . He was , pre ceded hy James Ralney. a representa tive of Rockefeller, who left a week earlier. Cascades Bioh la Mineral. Mr. Martin stated to The Journal: I am looking for good mining proper ties In the Cascades. My work this season Is but a continuation of that performed last year, -when I explored tha Cascades from the Canadian line t the Vicinity of Mt. Rainier, and ex ammea all tne leagex or which I heard promising Teports. This season I .will! awn at ipe munipii ana worn north to the point where I left oft last fall. The Cascade range Is rich In all kinds of minerals- The Mt. Baker district, near the boundary, haa a flat tering future, but . Is practically un developed, and unprospeoted. The die- trie which II between, the Northern Pacific and ' (5 rent Northern railroads hja,.a .great-warietyqf -different" min erals of sufficient extent and richness to warrant a great future. In that sec tion placer mines are operated with good results on 8 wank Creek and at the head of the Cle plum River. One nugget was picked up which was worth $1,800. and a number weighing $600. while thousands of dollars in fine gold have been produced there. An Extensive Mineral Belt. As far as I have observed a mineral belt extends the entire length of the Cascades, but In some localities Is badly broken up by volcanic, action. One particular section where the for mation is practically intact, and which from a mining standpoint Is. remarka ble, is that between? Mt. Stewart, on ha eastern edge of the Caeeade. to 1 theiWestern slope nt Mont Cristo. Thts territory Is seemed wlfh stringers of gold and (liver quarts, lodes of copper. beds of- Iron, dyke of clnnsbar. silver- lead vein, rich plucer gravels and vast cosl fields. One prospectively great property near Skykomish Is the Dutch Miller ledge, which Is 1$ feet wld at the surface cropping, and carries 17 per cent copper, and gold ' and-sliver enough to make n not value of $50 per ton. This lode Is traceable for miles and eventually a great mining Industry will spring lip there, as tha millions of dollcrs now In sight will be wrested from the mountain fastneas In time. Properties Veer Portland. "i have been told that the formation and extent and variety of mineral In the dlr.trlct of the Cascades, ' near the Columbia, is In many way similar to that- In the rich section further north. Considerable - development, jrork has been performed with the "result that near Mt. St. Helens some good prop erty Is available. A Milwaukee . com pany, headed by the owner pi the big breweries, with their' employes as the principal stockholders, have a- jrrfmp' of over 100 claims there. The Port land Exploration Company ha- a group, of 14 claims Another syndicate, headed-by' Dr. Coe of Portland, has some valuable property In an advanced state of development In that district, and the Northern Pacific Railroad Company now has s party of surveyors In the field to find a feasible route to reach the property with a spur. A good deal of other valuable property Is In the possession ' of Portland people. Sur veys have been made for the extension of the logging road which runs out of Vancouver into tne mining oen. . Drawbaoxa of Development. "The main cause of the dormant Condition of the mining development in the Cascades has been . the lack of transportation facilities Into the mining-districts, which practically ' pro hibited the jrrofcth of the industry. Most 6f the "ore Is of a refractory na tufrj, which can only be treated auc eessfully by a smelter.: To pack this ore for long distances over mountain trail or hauling over crude 'wagon read to a railroad would leave but little profit, .-and snleas the one was very rich, prove r a losing venture. Again, the property la owned by the prospector who made the- original find, -who br to tax their limited tources to keep up .tha assessments neeeasary to retain possession. They have. nft tho mean r lr.flnepcotoput the'protiarijr In nhape to how up for a proliuble ale." 59fioftfcJBttonrgtar. Tho- Interest at ; nresent manifested bj th mining king In th Caacade . throurh em i,Kktl Cityt over th9 scenic fir a bat for hop of , aubtaa4,une of the world. , development In. the near future.. The history of the big operators is one of action, and the spending of a few million dollars . In the building of a railroad to reach a good property or , to prevent the opposition fom securing control Is taken, for granted. The bitter fight for supremacy In monoprilialng the copper output of America has- made the recent hletory of Montana one of unbridled political corruption, In whl:h even the .ludlclarjr of the state Is Involved. The fight between Daly end Clark was unrelent ing, slid after the death of Daly was taken up by Heinze. Clarit for a time aHled himself with the Amalgamated Company in tha effort to crush He hue. Helttie's Properties. Hfclnie has acquired copper property near Valdes. Whltehorse and on Tex oda Island In Alaska and British Co lumbia. This Meld has also been en tered by the Rockefeller syndicate. Both are after property In the Cas cades and their experts are following olose on each others heels. Recently the Rockefeller company secured control of the Keswick -property In , Northern California, formerly owned by an Kng. llali company, and have a chain of mines extending from Mexico to the Arctic Ocean. Senator Clark has a monopoly of the copper Industry In Arlsona and Mexico and a magnificent property In the Seven Devils country In Idaho, as well as In Montana, the original stamping ground. The Cas cades are now the geographical van tage ground 6f which the control of Its mineral is being sought. With Senator Clark, the 1'nlted Copper Company and the Amalgamated Company, represent lng countless millions, competing for property in the Cascades, it is only a natter of time when there will be some big deals and subetantlal development which will accrue to the benefit of the entire coast country.
