California; Bnry Beaaoa Ending-.
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. Bhlp
, ments will now be received dally and
within the next week or 10 days. If
'.weather' conditions permit, , the price
will get down to a basis where the
general publlo can Indulge. ; 5 " .. .
r: 'Good . Trade la fcoeai ) moor.
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

any good will come of this association,

other point In favor of Baker aa a

Republicans Apathetic on
Senator Hard Fight on
Local Option.
(Specld Dispatch to The Joareal.)
Tha Dalles, Or., May 80. Chamber
lain and Cake will make a close race In
Wasco county. Th vote I hard to
gauge, as tha people hers seem apa
thetic. There have been hut small
crowds a't all the republican meetings
held.
The vote on the liauor Question prom
ise to be exceedingly close. 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.
