I fllate of Cal I WQCi that I rTiuotatlons at ... -sac I "This year's pruno crop of Oregon," aid Frank Lee, editor of tho North west .PacMa-Jarmer, ''will , bo one of the largest ever produced In thin state, and from -present indications the total yield will amount to 30,000,000 pounds that Is, providing the drying capacity la sufficient to handle the yield In time. In all sections of tho state the crop Is In excellent condition and I have no doubt that tho coming crop will be the best that this state has ever produced. Oregon will have a much larger crop In proportion to the acreage than will the California this year. I ex e season will open with about 4 cents a pound. S Soiled Oats Advance. Local manufacturers of rolled oats notified jobbers today of an advance of 0 cents a barrel on their product. This Is caused solely by crop conditions. Plrkles In bulk are quoted higher by all Coast manufacturers on account of a crop shortage. Today's Bail Beceipts. The receipts per rail from the South today consisted of two cars of lemons, two cars of oranges and one car of apricots. The supply of lemons now In the local markets In sufficient to meet nil the' requirements of the warmer weather and prices are not quite so high or firm as they were during the preced ing week. No changes have occured In orange quotations within the - past month and prices are being held quite firm. Apricots art in too large a sup ply and prioes are wavering. Poultry Arrivals Larr- Farmers up the .Valley are disposing of their poultry and receipts in the local makets were extra large today, with the demand fair. There are too many small springs arriving and this grade of stocks Is sacrificed In order to Keep the market from being glutted. Plenty of Eggs. Plenty of eggs are arriving to meet all the requirements of a smaller de mand, but .very few sales were reported today under a 20-cent market. Bew Potatoes in Demand. New potatoes are in larger supply end the demand for both this grade and the- olds Is quite heavy. The older nlock especially Is quoted firm for the better grades and stock tf of this char acter are quite small. Shipping demand in excellent and prices are ruling about the same as was reported yesterday, ligat Demand for Bogs. "The hog demand," says John Toft of Toft, Hine & Co., "Is very small and bout, averages the receipt There. Is absolutely no call at all for the larger size stocks, the few smaller sixes being about the only .thing sought after. There Is a fair demand for prime beef but the call for bulls is nominal. Veal receipts are small with the demand fair. Mutton is arriving in light quantity but the demand Is slow." Some changes will bo noted in today's meat quota tions. Wheat Practically Cleaned X7p. " There Is very little being done in the local wheat makets, the supplies of lust year's stocks being very light and Is held for higher prices by the holder the farmers. The new season will open with practically all stocks cleaned up and good figures are expected at that time for supplies. California Wheat Situation. vleorgo Morrow, the San Francisco rain merchant, says: "From all information at hand, and It milte rertsferer'wa'-wHirre- doing ffnfte well if we have a total crop of 600,000 tons in California. Had the month of April only behaved Itself, we would have had one of the largest crops on record, but just about that time April joined a labor union, and preforce, ad to go on a strike. Result: Nothing doing In the way of rain business. Ultimate result (as In the cases of all etrlkes): Disappointment all round." California quotations for Oregon grain are $1.32. Btoolhoad Salmon Arrive. Steelhead salmon are now arriving in lnrgc supply from the lower river and It Is txpected that the run of Chinooks Will be in full swing in aDour, in cays. Other fish are very scarce and prices are Arm. Today's ruling quotations are as fol lows: rt;,tarkyi, live, 13UJ14 per ; dressed, 169 itte per id. , Sreeeries, Vats, tie. lliirar "Back bull." eslm.

Corn Quiet and Steady During the Day With No Speculative Operations of Interest Mod erate Trade. (Special permlaalon of Bolton, de Ruyter A Co.) CHICAGO, June 1 1. Login U Bryan advUe: The wheat market haa been rather quiet and closed easier than yesterday. Rain was predicted in the Northwest and caused scattered liquidation. The general tone of the market Is not. bow- ever, weak, we think, uasn wneai ana the nearby options, still maintain strong- tone and the whole market is sttll without eelllne pressure. The II llnols report rives very discouraging conditions tn the south of the state, and says the yield will not be over a quarter to one half acreage. From the nature of the advances, we are Inclined to ex pect the same result from a good part of Ohio. Tennessee and Missouri. Broomhsll cables the weather is very unsatisfactory in the l.'nltod Kingdom and France. With this condition, the Northwest situation is by no means the whole thing. Even should ample rains come In that section any material de cline Is, we think, unlikely and its effect only momentary. We still advise buy- ng wheat on soft spots, Cora Quiet and Stead. The corn market Is quiet and steady. There were no speculative operations of Interest but only a moderate general trade. The cash position remains un changed, although receipts are on the whole liberal in this market. Temper atures continue low over the corn belt, but the general tenor of reports is that except for backwardness, the crop looks well. It Is In condition to Improve rapidly with warmer and more favorable weather. As long as the weather keeps cool and farmers' deliveries small. It may be too soon to sell oorn, but it is too high to advise purchase. Oats Sams as Cora. About the same condition prevails In oats as in corn. Moderate receipts are the principal bullish factor. The weather Is favorable for the crop and Its appearance is good. On any weak ening in the cash position we would sell December and September oats. Provisions Heavy aad Lower. The provision market Is heavV and lower. The hogs keep coming and the quality keeps on Improving and the de mand remains unsatisfactory. Bpeculat- ve operations are sttll small, and fea tureless. We see nothing to make a bull market in provisions and think the tendency of prices is lower. . . sections promise two-thirds to three quarters of a crop. The deficiency will be made up by Hungarian corn and Other green fodder crops. Pastures have been put In excellent condition by the late rains. There have been large purchases of oats during the drought in anticipa tion of an active demand at higher prices. These stocks will have to be worked off before the demand for oata Is active again. Sellers have oats pur chased at considerably lower prices than present values. When they get to hold' lng points they ara apt to discount spring prices In order to save demurrage. This makes an unsatisfactory market from a shipper's standpoint. The grain markets, both wheat and corn, are now Indifferent as to any lead ership. The unfavorable weather has stirred' up enough bullishness to keep even the corn Independent, at least tem porarily, of big operators. .It closed yesterday higher than Saturday, al though there was selling sll the session. which seemed to come from the dlreo tlon of Armour and Cudahy, both large holders.

There are In dications that the Well clique and its following have renewed their l attacks on the market, being Inspired toy the dls appointing bank statement, the engage ment of $2,600,000 gold tor export and the fact that the speculation is stag nant. Oood houses, however, continue bullish for the pull, and advise the pur- hase of railroad stocks on reactions. They argue that favorable factors in the situation outweigh the unfavorable ones. The former consists of improved crop conditions, signs that the labor sit uation Is becoming- normal and the non fulfillment of pessimistic predictions as to the effect of floods on the earnings of various roads. As to the money situa tion, the low bank reserves and the gold exports lead to the belief that the Sec retary of the Treasury, before the sum mer Is over, will issue a call for bonds. nd thus release a large sum to the mar ket. Speculators'for a decline are de- oting their efforts to traction stocks. selecting Metropolitan and Brooklyn. Conservative sentiment on these stocks is conflicting, bearish, on the former and bullish on the latter. HOGS AGAIN HIGHER roan, and wholesale fbioes. 79 drain, Hour and Feed.

Bomberger, treasurer; C. W. Ryan, recording secretary; J. E. Lewton, financial secretary, and J.- W. Shrader, business sgent. - Carpenters report that work wltn" then is more plentiful now than it has been since the strike was inaugurated early in the spring. They estimate that fully 850 union carpenters are steadily employed, and this, they say. repre sents about the entire number now be longing to the organisation. When" the labor difficulties came on early In ths spring it is said that in the neighbor. hood of 200 of their members left ths city. About 100 non-union mechanics, however, came from ' other 'points . to take their places, and these are also working regularly. The total number of carpenters In Portland, therefore, la pieced at approximately 960. Business Agent Shrader says that dur ing the past few weeks there has been roore work than there were men to do it. He does not apprehend, however, that this trouble will be experienced for any great length of time. As soon ss It is generally learned at outside points that the labor difficulties here are about at an end representatives of the union as sert that the men who left some tims ago will return and make up for ths -present shortage. Big Love Peast. The carpenters are planning for tn open meeting to be held in their hall on Friday night, which in a way is unique, inasmuch as It is a radical departure from their usual custom of doing things. It is unique from the fact that spe cial Invitations are being sent to all ths non-union -carpenters in the city to at tend. Speechmaking from prominent lo cal labor leaders will tie the order of the . evening, after which refreshments will be served. For the time being, st least, the word "scab" will be banished from their vocabulary, and the repre- . sentatlves of organised labor and ths non-unionists wtll shake hands and smoke -the pipe of peace. The divergent posi tions which they occupy in the indus trial world will be discussed at soma length, and ways and means will be considered whereby both factions can meet ugon a common level for the good, of all. in short, an effort will be made to Induce those not members of ths union to Join at their earliest conven ience, and assist in the work of better- lng the condition Of the skilled me chanic. Secretary Lewton says that h has see"n a great many of the non-union men personally about the meeting, and that nearly all of them promised to be present.. He says that every courtesy and consideration will be shown them, whether they see their way clear to Join forces with them or not. BUILDING PERMITS. 1 -story lg.
