graphlo advices to The Journal this
morning - from ..-'. Stockton, California,
fully confirm the. reports of early dam
age and likewise tell of serious loss in
the lata potato prospects. -Coming- at
this' time when the California markets
were', dropping because of the very
heavy; shipments from hers In that di
rection, the news Is having a. stimulat
ing effect upon local holders. Arisona
business Is Improving and it is not like
ly that California buyers will , muco
longer remain out of the market.
;- Cherries Com from Th Ball.
The first cherries of the season from
The Dalles were reported In this morn
ing by Dryer. Bollam & Co., Stocks
were shipped by M. Mortensen -a fact
in Itself that Insures good quality. Mr.

Rhubarb Is not arriving so. freely and
the market is better at slightly ad
vanced prices.
Strawberry trapplise oo arauUL -
Supplies. of local strawberries are too
mall and the market was very firm
this morning at f 4 a crate. 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."

'Julius Wolf, mayor of Sllverton. be,
Ueves that Oregon will produce fully
100,000 bales. 'of hops during the 1908
season. : So Mr. Wolf stated to The
Journal this morning. ' "Some of the
yards in the vicinity of Sllverton are
bad, while others are equally good', he
stated. "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.- :. . ..

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

Chleavo. June 4. 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

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

way the market acted last year before
It started up on the green bug pews.

Portland Union Stockyards, June 4.
When the effects of the too liberal run
of hogs passes away it la quite likely
that a somewhat better tone will rule
In the local hog market. This is the
belief of President Daugherty who re
cently returned from his ranch at Kchx
"The market will likely hold about n
at present quoted," he stated this
morning, "and after the liberal arrival
wear off the paekera will likely return
to the market and be willing to pay a
fractional Increase In price."
Cattle are steady at this time but
receivers are of the opinion that prices
will drop after awhile.
Sheep are ateady but heavy purchases
by eastern Interests.
