"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.

WHEAT
QUIET ARD EASY
Market Not Quite So Stiff as
Yesterday Rain Was Pre
dicted in the Northwest and
Caused Liquidation.
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.

BOND ISSUE PREDICTED
NEW YORK, June 23. 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.

At the last meeting of the CsrpeiK
ters' Union the following officers were
elected for the ensuing terra: E. J. Cad
well, president: C. 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.
