The South ern Paclfio morning train did not ar rive on time and this held pack ths arrivals to some extent .'. sTa 10 WW Cent Oommlsalca. At ths meeting of the Produce Mer chants' association late yesterday after noon It" was decided to abandon the idea of asking 10 per cent commlaalon on all sales of produoe. The fact that one or two prominent receivers would not enter the agreement caused its downfall. "We cannot. build up our commission trad by charging shippers 19 per cent" says one of those who would not eign the agreement, "it wouia simply runr too commission trad and fore all bualneaa on a cash basin. In the Puget sound markets they ar not doing any eom rnisslorv business to amount to anything and the same is true of San Franolsoo. This; condition was brought about by advancing commission charges." ". ,Bf ITots) f tb Trad. iTront street houses closed about 10 o'clock for the day beoaus of the Rose Festival.'

"The yards that have been properly attended to are generally look ing well. Some growers are complain ing bttterlv of the backward season and the slow growth, while their next door neighbors have excellent crops. While quite a few. yards In the Sllverton ter ritory were plowed up, ' moat of the growers are hold In r on, hoping against hope for better conditions to prevail in the futur.- :. . .. . . . -- V .. On of th ' largest of the Illinois corn packers, writing to his New Tork brokers, says that weather conditions have been such as to Induce him to withdraw from the market on both spot and future corn. He adds: "Our fu ture pack is so uncertain that we have decided to hold what little spot stock we have ' and stop selling futures. If we find later- that we can offer more futures with safety, we will advise you." ' W. H. Daughtrey, president of th Portland union stockyards, told The Journal this morning that the hay crop in the- vicinity of Echo would be about an average one, but the chances are that grain will be short owing to the dry, cold weather that has prevailed so long. Mr. Daughtrey states that the heaviest decrease will be on the high lands. COoO$l doi; radishes. 15c dos bunches; rhubarb, Oregon, 8Hc; celery. 0c$l dos; cranberries, eastern. $9010.60; as paragus.

Wheat received a setback of nearly a cent at the opening Of the market today.- The principal factor was the better reports that came from the northwestern crop. Every one wanted to sell wheat and this put th market lower. - . ,. - ? - . While brokers supposed to be acting for Armour were . buyers, ; their . want wer not heavy, . Liverpool was very weak and lower. Th Inter Ocean says: "Sentiment among wheat traders - is mlxed. Most of th local clement ar bearish because July wheat been " supplied to the trad on the bulges and prices have not fully uresponded to the bullish crop news. This did' not In any way affect those who wer bullish yesterday and they point to th action of the market as the best indication that a bull move ment Is under way.

Jack Frost has damaged thousands of acres of po tatoes on the islands west of Stock ton, and consequently the price of th tubers will be high this season.
