Eo far as the9 Portland demand Is concerned, the California berry-, season la coming to an end and few ship ! ments are expected from the south dur ing: the coming- week. Thus far there has been only a. small ' Increase- In ht- cal supplies but., the trade expects ; greater stocks during the coming week, Cantaloupes Will Come Begularly. i With the arrival of the first 'cant, v loupes from California yesterday the season was formally opened.

There ts'nuite a goed trade reported in tbe local flour market for this time of the year, but taking all things into consideration the1 general f Ipur market is extremely quiet Speaking .of . the eituation. Led'-Peterson, editor of the Portland Commercial Review writes as follows: i "The market for foreign flour has exhibited no signs of any improvement n the general situation from tne mll er's point of view, and for a long time buying has been on the most conserve;-1 tlve lines; most buyers allowed their 1 stocks to almost recede to a vanishing . . point A ! small demand, 1 . therefore, which has come to light with tbe hard ening tendency of the market, ba not made millers over joyful, but is still disappointingly measured by the more immediate requirements of consumers. 1 Flour buyers 'are evidently endeavoring to get along until the next crop on I as close, a margin as possible. - The little -export business worked with the orient Is at close figures. Most bids from China have been too much out of line; prices havfe undergone no marked change, and millers are stronger - In their pretensions; buyers do not shoe much confidence- In- the present-situation of the market, and no fresh or ders of any Importance are being placed. However, should the . wheat market - continue ta- advenee, buyers Will no doubt be compelled ere long to follow the rise, as stocks of wheat are light, and good prices must be paid to se cure any of the unsold crop. Coast riour Call Beluctant. ; "As for coastwise and local trade the demand Is largely a reluctant one, which Is upset and checked at the least Indications of an irregular movement. Individual mills, by price cutting, have caused some demoralisation.' There are -enough of these instances - occurring, apparently, to enable buyers to pick up "snaps' from time to time and to encourage them In withholding from buying except when a miller is willing to cut his price. There is no use de nying the fact that flour trade is dull, and If the - miller has any hope of an early adjustment of matters, he fall to show it in his talk of the condi tions surrounding the market. Storks of flour In all positions are very large, and the buying side its refusing to take noid oniy in a consumptive manner. The ahipper,' Jobber, and the' retailer all look. for . lower prices. Country mills continue to offer flour In the market, but the local trade Is filled up and sale are difficult- to make. It looks as If local and coast buyers are waiting to pick up bargains, and mil lers who are foolish enough to give meir prom away ror me sane 01 oo- tiiv iAiHAhlnv will an ttf AvAntiiaUi Just as long a' the buyer ean get the profits belonging-to the miller, he wilt patiently wait for the lower prices on which he finally expbta to stock up a sain. : Miller all agree, on this, how ever, that if a buyer needs flour he might a well buy- now, as he will save nothing by waiting. The fallacy of the waiting., attitude has been shown In, the case of feed, they say. It la tj , i - r. I.". llUl . J V 11.,, o by the persistent high price of feed." . v Brief STotea of tb Trade.

Lately the local option people have been sending out thousands of pamphlet to all vot ers, and thia is beginning to have its errect. more especially upon tne rancn ers. Newspapers have been filled with paid articles on both sides. So far as The Dalles Is concerned, the town will Srobably go wet by about 800 majority, ut from present trosiects this will be more than offset by the vote from the rural districts, the majority of which will be very close, with the nrobabilltv of most of them going dry by a small majority, how siaea are .claiming tne vtctorv. but it la ale-nlf leant that the liquor men are all very Indifferent about putting up any money that the county wiu go wet; this notwithstanding the fact that the county went wet at tha last election by over 400 majority. for state senator N. J. Binnott will be elected, aa his only opponent Ms a Socialist. For representative Mr. Carter is said to have a good prospect of elec tion, but there Is considerable doubt as to whether Mr. Dodds, the other Repub lican candidate, will be able to win over either the two Democ ratio candidates, notwithstanding that Dr. Dodds . ha come out on Statement No. 1, and that the -Democrat are in the ratio of about 1 Democrat to every 3 ft Republicans.
