That the retailers hava, been making too much money on their Independent . shipments of car lota of wire w nails is y ths conclusion .reached by the hardware .. Jobbers, and foe that reason they have been slashing values In the wholesale market locaUy. The basts for wire nail tip to this time has been 13 a keg . in 25-keg lots, but this price bat Been out to $1.65. or a reduction of 860 a A keg front former figures. Thie la the moat aerlous cut ever noted la the wire nail market' on the Pacific coast, and Indicates a desire of the' big ones , to , force the small retailers into line.

In tha market toaay atrawoerries soia at such? 11.60 a. orate, with the. average trsns- aotlona around 11.26. ' .1 Three Oars of Cantaloupes Arrive. Thru ran nf nantaSounes: arrived from California thia morning. Two of J he ears were from Brawley and one rem the Cochella valley. All were "in quite good shape. The market wa$ quite good,, considering the pile of ar rivals, but the quality of the fruit will probably enable the trade to hold . values up better than usual. Another car Is due on Thursday, and from that time forth 'arrivals will be regular. One broker alone will bring in two oars of melons each week for the next few - weeks. ' potato Market Xs Very Quiet. There is a very quiet tone in the potato market at this time. Shipping - demand is nominal, and but few cars are rolling. Sales to the southwest are tapering off and the California demand seems to be about at an end. - Locally there Is a falrlv steady tone to the market, but it Is likely that the call for old potatoes will gradually decrease from this time forth until it disappears ' altogether early in July. New pota- . toes from the So" o are arriving in mixed condition, although the average run of arrivals is snowing Detier quai tr" Sgg Market. Is Steady. A fatrly steady tone is shown In the lfat Mirir market- todav. While arriv- . als are still quite liberal, there Is no great Showing or accumulations ana nothing is being sold under 1 80, while In a few instances as high as 16c is obtained In small lots. General trade Is around 18o.- , , . .General tone in poultry is quiet, With some receivers still carrying ovr some supplUs .from last week. Prices are uncnangea ros- w y.; ' Creamery butter is holding quite steadv, although the. make Is increased. Latest reports from Tillamook indi cate that this year's pack of cheese wlil be the greatest in the history of the industry there, .. -, Brief Votes of the Trade. There Is nothln doing in the hop market at the moment.- - Wheat and flour trade both nominal. California Is entirely out of the mar ket for .wheat here Just now. . Fish business was very quiet during the vast ' 24 hours. Salmon catch re mains small. , , 1A ' Wool market Is steady, with valley stock generally ruling around lie, al though an occasional lot of fancy stock ruling Ho higher. . .

As far as Wall street is concerned the residential cam paign Is settled. - The interests expect Taft. to be nominated at Chicago and are therefore talking of a higher mar ket. This somewhat scared the shorts today and covering In Union Pacific and Reading put both of these issues several points to the good. The mtld way the ' anti-Injunction clause is treated in the Republican plat form removes it as a stock market issue. The stock market has taken this clause too seriously and market leaders have used, it for all. it was worth , to depress values. , . Today's session of tho stock market is a repetition of what had been experi enced In tna last two weesa, wnue uui market was slow, several of the leaders made good showings.

Twenty years ago, when a young man, Hoffman worked around a well on the Dodds farm, on which the gusher that has made him rich is located. He had an Idea, which grew Into a convic tion, that a pool was to be struck, and when J, R. Jones made a location and abandoned it without drilling, Hoff man was s6rely disappointed. He worked 20 years,, but didn't have mi He enoush monev to start drilling. But he had a dream In which he saw oil spouting from a well where Jones had abandoned the location, and he decided to go ahead if It took every cent he had and could borrow from friends. The gusher Is earning Its owner $600 a day. More than that, he could sell it for $100,000 any day. But he wants to hold it, so strong is his faith that it will keen uo its flow Indefinitely. 1 Hoffman has built no air castles, but ' is content 10 stay on me xarm ana ! work as he has since a lad.
