same change. Today's price on berry
or fruit sugar stands at 14.45 per hun
dred pound. , -
look XJi 8-Oent Beans.
Th market on beans Is so firm at
this time that prices can scarcely be
held at $4.76 for large and small whites
very much longer. Five-cent beans are
now predicted by local handlers be
cause of the unusually beavr-Hlemend
now coming to California from the east
and the very small available supplies
to tide the trade over until the new
crop Is ready for the market. .
Along with the bean market rlre
prices are showing unusual strength
and at flrlmary points several late ad
vances In value have been announced
because of the nominal holdings Even
these mall stocks are In hands that are
able to hold until able to command
higher values.
First Seedling Oranges Arrive.
The first car of seedling oranges to
enter this market tha present season
rolled In this morning. Supplies were
in ecettent shspe and are finding a de
mand around $3 a box. . .
Navel oranges are frrmer, but prices
are not showing any change. ,

with best quality being held at 11.65
on California fruit and 10 15c a box
on local product.
Supplies of- garlic In the local mar-,
ket are still very scant and prices are
holding stiff at 2025c a pound, ac
cording to quality. . '
Red onion ar. somewhat weak be
cause ofrdisappointlng Quality, but high
prices ar still easily obtained on Ber
mudas because of good quality.
Lettuce market has been hit hard
aortnw the paet few day owing to i th"
' vsrv heavy supplies and the competition
from outdoor-grown stock. Sales as
low as 76c today. , i
( . Shad Almost Oiren Away.
So heavy have become the arrivals
of shad from the Columbia river dur
ing the past few days that even at the
law prices that have ruled supplies
He Increasing- In dealers' -hand ami
another drop -of 1 reported today.
According the wholesale fish trada
the season for, Willamette river salmon
Is, n bout over,: , At the present time the
nin ! very small. Reports from the
lower river tell the same story. Price
stiff In consequence.
Brief Votes of th Trad.
New-peel ciu.-lm or eascara bark Is
arriving In the local market In small
lota and Is finding a demand at 8 3 He
a pound, the latter for large lots. For
old bark the market here Is 4c.

values despite the efforts of eastern
handlers here to run down the qual
ity,, and therefore, the demand.
Chicken market is steady at former
Brio. ......
Dressed meats are in heavy supply
and prloe on all grades are Just hold
ing their own. Country-dressed mutton
is not so anxiously sought at this time
because of poor handling. Price rulos

(Special Dispatch to Tb 2oorflL)
Payette, Ida.. May 14. -Not for years
has there been the stagnation In the
wool market, thai prevails this spring.
It 1-. the middle , of May, but not a
pound of wool has been sold and .there
Is no certain prospect that a A pound
will be sold for a, good many week.
Evidences of a great fight between the
buyers, and the seller are seen only In
the 'Inactivity on both sides. If the
wool doe riot .begin to move very soon
at somewhere ' near satisfactory prices
to both sides a good many of the grow
ers in this part of the state will make
preparations for storing their fleeces
until such time as they can realise for
them what they believe .thev should
have. Neither the sellers nor the grow
ers are making ad vancea Tbe inac
tivity of the buyers la attributed to the
tact tnat auring tne two previous years
ther did not realise as much a expect
ed fapm their rentracts, so this year
they fare wary about making contract
and much prefer, to handle- the wools
on commission. ' 1 ' - .
Usually st- this time tbe roads Ioadlna-
intn Payette are crowded with big
freight wagon loaded with wool on the
way to warehouses, whence they, would
be shipped to eastern buyer. This
year but a -fw straggling wagon have

Chicago, May 14. Ia a trap' which
they themselves sprung, the seller of
May Vheat received a shock today that
will cause them to lose the sleep of
several night. It was merely th repl
tition of the old story of bull and bear
witlv lion and lamb features added. The
wheat market opened slow and closed
very strong with May option lo above
the final of yesterday.
Short covering formed the principal
reason for, today's advance in the May
options and this helped other deliveries
to assume an upright position for the
day. At the close July was advanced
6c and September Ho. Liverpool was
weak at the start with a loss of Hd
for the July but later In the day a eon
aiderable amount of short covering
there put July to 7s 7Hd, where il
closed Hd above the final figure of

This morning's session wa devoted
principally to the hearing of the execu
tive committee's report. A portion of
Master Buxton's report recommending
that several changes be made in the
Initiative law that had been referred
to the executive committee, was brought
up in the- report today. The changes
suggested by Master Buxton were as
follows: No bill should be Initiated
until after being Introduced in the
legislature, making It unlawful to allow
remuneration for securing signatures to
petitions, requiring a majority vote to
pass an amendment to the constitution.
A motion waa made to strike out this
portion of the report. The discussion
following brought out the sentiment
that the grange is opposed to any
changes in the law at present.
It was voted to refer that portion of
the master's report back to the execu
tive committee to report on two years
hence.
A resolution for appropriation of $600
for defending the Initiative law was
passed at last night's session. A res
olution favoring the lower Columbia

TUBERCULOSIS FIGHT
(United Press Leased Wire.)
Washington, May 14. President
Roosevelt has been elected president
of the International tuberculosis con
gress, which weets herT hi October. In
his letter of acceptance the president
aays:
''I will gladly serve, but when I flnH
It impossible for me to attend meet
ings I shall deputize Secretary Cor
telyou to represent me. The import
ance of the crusade is inestimable when
it is realised that the disease costs
200,000 lives annually in the United
States and 2.000.000 in the world. Rapid
application of the science of stamping
out tuberculosis depends on the prompt
ness of Inculcating new doctrines. Such
a crusade brings hope to thousands
who were previously despairing. The
joining of the nations of the world in
the fight is a step toward universal
brotherhood."
