' So far as the Portland dernand ' Is concerned, - the California berry season Is coming to an end and few ship ment are expected from the south dur ing; the coming- week. Thus far there has been only a small Increase in. !- cal .supplies but. the trade expects , greater stocks during the coming week, Cantaloupes Win Com BaguUrly; With the arrival of the first 'cant, loupes from California yesterday the season was formally opened. Ship ments will now: be received daily and within the next week or 1 days, If 'weather conditions permit, . the price will get down to a basis where the general public ran Indulge, i 1 - Good Trad la $ocai . Tlour. There Is quite' a goed trade reported In the local flour market for this timn of the year, but taking all things Into consideration the- general flour market is extremely- quiet. Speaking of ".the situation, Led Peterson, editor-of the Portland Commercial Review writes as follows: . . 'The market for foreign ' flour has exhibited no signs of any Improvement n the general situation from tne mit er's point of view, and for a, long time buying has been on the moat conserva tive lines; most buyers allowed their stocks to almost recede to a vanishing point. - A small . demand. therefore,, which has come to light with the hard ening tendency) of : the .market, has not made millers over Joyful, but is still disappointingly measured by the more Immediate requirements of consumers. Flour buyers 'are evidently endeavoring to get aiong until tne next ' crop on 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 nave undergone no marked change, and millers are stronger , In their pretensions; buyers do not ahoa much confidence- in- the present- situa tion of the market, and so fresh or ders of any Importance are being placed. However, should . the wheat . market continue - to advances 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 low -Call Belnotans. ;'Aa for coastwise and local trade the demand Is lamely a reluctant one. h which la upset and checked at the least Indications of an irregular movement. Individual mills, by price cutting, have caused soma demoralisation.' 'mere are enough of these instances occurring, apparently, ' to enable buyers to pick up "snaps' from time to time and to eacourage 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, tt the fact that nour trade is dull. and If the miller has any hope' of an'mportea eany aajustment or matters, ne rans to show it In his talk of the jondl he fall tlons surrounding the market. Slacks of flour in all positions are-very large, and the buying side its refusing to talto hold only In a consumptive manner. The shipper,' Jobber, and the' retailer ail wok lor lower prices. country mills continue to offer flour In the market, but the local trade Is filled up and sales 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 their profit away for the .sake of do ing something .will suffer eventually. Just as long as the buyer ean get th profits belonging-to the miller, ne will patiently wait for . the lower prices on which he finally experts to stock up aaaln. ' Millers all agree, on this, how ever, that If a buyer needs flour he might as wall buy- now, as he will save nothing by watting. The fallacy of the waiting-attitude has. been . shown in, the case of feed, they say. It la said ithat flour Is very cheap, made so by the persistent high price of feed." . . v . Brief Votes of the Trade. .Eggs are firm at unchanged price. While chickens are still quiet the market is holding Ks own.

(Special DtapetCh to Xhe JoaraaL) The Dalles, Or, May 80. Chamber lain and Cake will make a close race In Wasco county. The vote is hard to gauge, as the people her seem apa thetic. There have been but small crowds a't all the republican meetings held. The vote on the llauor Question prom ises to be exceedingly close. Lately tha local option people have been sending out thousands of pamphlets to all vot ers, and this Is beginning to have lta effect, more especially upon the ranch ers. Newspapers have been filled with paid articles on both sides. So far as The Dalles is concerned, the town will probably go wet by about 200. majority, but from present prospects this will bo more than offset oy the vote from the rural districts, the majority of which will be very close, with the probability Of most of them going dry by a small majority. Both sides are -claiming the victory, but It Is significant that the liquor men are all very indifferent about putting up any money that the county will go wet; , this notwithstanding the faot that the county went wet at the last election by over 400 majority; For state senator N. J. Slnnott will be elected, aa his only opponent 'Is 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 , has come out on Statement No. 1, and that the Democrats sre In the ratio of about 1 Demoorat to every $ H Republioana.
