Eggs, Offering; tor less. , Salmon run smaller than ever. Cantaloupe prices ars dropping. ' California tomatoes appear again. Car vegetables finds good demand, i Potato trade is good again. ? tower Strawberry Mom.,;., Prlcet in the. .local , strawberry, mar ket received quite - a severs ' setback toaay. Heavy arrivals from the sub urbs and from : the Willamette vally were the - causa and Front street re ceivers experienced considerable diffi culty In obtaining quotations that were eausraetory to tnem. - The best Hood River . fruit sold as high as $3.76 fil a case or two In tha early morning, but. this price -was exceptional even at mat time. An hour after the opening of tha markets, the price for the Hood jxiver-Mosier stock went down to f 3.50 and soma seemed quits willing a short time later to clean up their holdings as low as 33.25 for best stock from east of the. mountains. For best Wil lamette valley ptock ' the price ruled between J! 60 and $3.75 for tha day. Warm weather will bring forth still larger supplies during: the next few days and the trade is generally of ths belief that the low level of ths year will soon bs reached. Zastera Hop Market Is Dead. According to advices received by Weldner & Co. from the Detroit, Michi gan, office by mail this morning, ths hop trade of that section Is practically dead at this time. Brewers do not cars to buy until they see which way they are to turn. In the Portland and Willamette valley markets hop trade Is at a standstill, no orders be ing available so far as known. rotate Trade Is Ctood Again. Buyers . are . again la the field for limited amounts of first-class old po tatoes at this time. The California demand Is again coming this way al though the volume of business offered from there Is yet rather light. For best Willamette valley stock ths trade hers Is offering; as high as 80o par 100 pounds f. o. b.. this city. Local sales are still quite fair and are being made at 90o and fl along the street. New potatoes are showing no Improvement In quality and therefore are Interfer ing but little with the sale of old stock. Bg-gs Ars Salng Offered Xower. Because of the much heavier ar- rivals, the local egg market la being fenerally quoted along Front street to ay at lower values. Egs are being offered from 19o to 19o but sales possible. The outlook for the egg mar- boi ior mo near iuiure is not so nriflriiT- the general impression of the trade Deme mat prices win seek the lowest levels of the year. This, however, Is only a guess on the part of sellers. Supplies will absolutely govern the pries. Spring Chlokena Will Sell for less. While but a nominal business was reported in the poultry market this mornmg, a saie or two or spring chick ens was made at a reduction of 2 Ho a pound, buyers bain or unwllllnr T offer more than 20c. they state that mis win do mi iigure ior me week perhaps less If arrivals become too heavy. The poultry market In general is fieaoy at uncnanged values. Brief Votes of ths Trade. Arrivals of peaches from California are more uonrai witn Better quality shown. Today's pries at $1.60. California tomatoes have again made their appearance in the local market. this time from Imperial valley. Fine quauty hi tt.iv a crate or rour bas kets.

Western Oregon and western Wash lngton rFalr - tonight and Tuesday northwest winds., : - ' Eastern1 Oregon, eastern Washington and Idaho Fair tonlgbt and Tuesday. ' Ancordlna to W. tt. Allan Of the Allen Fruit Canning company of Eugene the crops In that section of the Willamette valley are looking fine. To The Jour nal this morning Mr. Allen stated that everything with tha exception of prunes Is up to all expectations. The cherry crop .ot that section will be even greater man a year ago- ana quality wui oe of the best Strawberries have good promise, and, ths present warm-weather will. bring mem lann, in great numuer. M. B. Hoard, a srardener of Beaverton. sava there la room for a cannery ' in that section. "We can raise plenty of asDaras us if mere is a nemana ior in stated Mr. Hoard this morning. "Our grass Is as good as can be grown. While tha production will not be more than half of that tof a year ago, we will gat . mora stock , from this time forth until about July 10, when the season should close. - There Is much difference in the demand one commission house .will want all green 'grass, for its trade is ail after tnat xina, out anotner wouia have nothing out wnite stock." - Ths continued cold weather is dam aging the grain crops, and also the fruit to soma extent, says C D. Huff man in ths La. Grande Observer. The grain needs moisture and sunshine, es pecially on tha Sandrldge. Very little rain has fallen there, and tha ground Is rather dry. The cold, cloudy weather is hurting tne cnerry ana appie crops to soma extent, though not yet enoueh to cut the crop short. Apples are drop ping but moat- oi ins trees are over loaded. " The wheat crop continues to arrow and reports which have Just been received from different sections of the country ndlcats that conditions are good, says the Pendleton East Oregon Ian. It has been general y supposed that tne ary weatner wnicn nas nrevanea at times durinr the spring has retarded the grain in the country nortnwest ot Pendleton, but such Is not the case if recent reports ars true. H. c. Mills, a ranner or mat section has been here today and he declares that the wheat In the Juniper and Van ycle sections has never looked better than at present. If rain but comes within the next 10 or 15 days he says that, there will be no danger of a crop failure In the "light land'' section. As rains almost always occur In June there Is seemingly little danger In store for tna rarraers ot tnai section. Those Who nave been in tne norm western part of the county recently say -the weeds are fewer there than In tna older portions ox tne county. Hermiston. . Or.. June 8. With land tinder the Umatilla government project in a man state or cultivation. Hermis ton will be a leader In the marketing of early produce. Exoellent. results have been obtained In raising potatoes this season under adverse circumstances, and some of tha very finest new potatoes m tne nortnwest are now on tne market. W. E. Godwin. C. L.

' By William True Hawthorne. . ' London, June 6. The ' colonial office will not "admit that the government la worried ever conditions In India, but that: apprehension exists there) Is no reason to doubt, India Is a volcano that is liable,; to erupt at any time, and Just now It is showing signs of serious unrest Downing street goes to bed eaoh night In dread that morn ing will bring news that the confla gration nas begun. No seriousness Is attached- to the deport that Irishmen In the United States ' are encouraging an Indian up rising, encouragement, it is admit ted, may be given in a . faw Isolated cases, but the government refuses to believe there la any widespread Irh sympathy with a oroiacted Indian is t- oreax. in tna event or an Indian re , .. - - . - bellion, - Irish troops would be called upon to do their share of the fight ing ana a gooa many insn uvea wouia pay the penalty. But more to the point, the Irish cause could in no way be benefited by an Indian outbreak: to the contrary, the Irish probably would endure more than their share of the suffering. But without Irish aid the situation Is sufficiently serious: English states men are solemnlv convinced that the end of British rule In India Is only a question of time. That rule long ago ceased to be profitable nor Is there now left much"tf the former excuse for governing an, unwilling peo- ie. wnen England toon possession ln la was divided Into feudal statea and war and anarohy reigned. Advanced opinion now is that India has suffi ciently advanced In knowledge of west ern civilization to maintain a stable government There la striking similarity between opinion in England toward India and opinion in the United States toward the Philippines. England would gladly set out of India If onlv aomeone would point out a way to do so, but like the man wno got tne Dear by tne tall, it doesn't know how to let go. Of course, there Is no official or responsible pub lic expression to this effect, but In private conversation many men who most loudly proclaim the glories of tne empire eamit mat England nas nothing to gain and everything to lose Dy eontmuin- as India s master. But England has other colonies which, while not largely profitable, !t is desirable to retain. Canada and Australia do really make for the glory of the empire and like a nightmare there Is ever present the fear that once disintegration of the empire be gins Canada and Australia will go. Probably not a hand could be lifted to stay the going of either, but the day they set up governments of their own would be a gloomy one In England. Perhaps there may some day arise a statesman wise enough and strong enough to separate the desirable from the undesirable of British colonies, re taining the one and letting the other go, out nis rorm is not yet visible on the horison.

'(Special Dlipmtch to The JoaniaL) Washington, June 8. For many years the theory has prevailed that .the house of representatives' loss of prestige was due In no small measure to the faot that the house had adopted rules curtailing the freedom of debate. The Increasing power of tha senate, with its freedom of debate, was pointed to in support of this contention. Now that cloture has made Its appear ance In the senate, there Is natural spec ulation aa to whether the senate, too, will go Into decline.- Certainly the claim no longer can be made that In the sen ate alone debate la free and untrammeled. Tha methods adopted to kill off Senator La Follette s tuiDuster against tne cur rency bill are bound to rise to plague the senate in future yeara. A good many senators have expressed regret that to meet the exigencies of the mo ment the almost fundamental traditions of the senate should have been swept aside. It is true that tne enoroaenmeni on tha fraadnm nf debate is a sllaht one in itself, but the fear prevails that the de parture from custom may jeaa to iuu greater Inroads whenever another exe nonrv arises. In this lnstanoe the en croachment did not extend beyond tha two points of denying a senator the privilege of utilising roll calls for a nunrum as an aid in conductlnr a fili buster and denying him the privilege of speaking an indefinite number of times on the same subject on the same day; but In this Instance the exigency was not especially a grave one. It war de sired to pass the currency bill It is true, but this was the long session and could have been continued until December If necessary. If at a short session, where the life of congress expired by constitu tional limitation upon a certain day, ob struction methods should threaten the defeat of some Important measure we might now expect to see ths gag applied as effectively in tha senate as U Is used in the house. Veterans of Hons. Veteran members of the house who have for years chafed under the as-, sumed superiority of the senate do not attempt to conceal their gratification that the senate has at laat been com pelled to resort to cloture. They de clare the course ot the senate fully Jus tifies the rules in lorce in tne nous, which, has to contend with a member ship four times as large aa that of tna senate. If tha senate with 92 members finds it Impossible to do business with out cloture, they argue, certainly no one will contend that the house with its 891 members could possibly have free debate and do its work. It is rather odd that the tightening of the reins In the senate should have been coincident with a demand in the house for less stringent rules. During the session lust closed notice was served on the house nowers that with tha or ganization of the sixty-first congress an effort would be made to so amend tha Reed rules as to tske from the speaker much of the nower ha now wields. Tha action taken by the senate on the last day of the session probably will have a tendency to strengthen the position ot those who defend the present house rules.' ' .- . Jjmergency Votes.

Not only Will thia sava time, but It will materially reduce the cost of preparing the new' notes.
