While there la continued Improvement In the tone of the local , wool market as well as elsewhere on the Pacific coast am In tha fnat tha imnrovement 1 In the latter section is not so marked as here, gome dealers assert tnai me re cent Improvement on the Pacific coast was due more to anticipation of better conditions to follow In the world's mar ket than to any betterment In the tone to date. Abroad the market Is far from being hopeful but to date this has had praoticauy no erreci upon worn The London Economist reeently had thej following; to say regarding condi tions dn the other aide of the Atlantic! Xndon TnU of Wool. - "Not slnco 1900 have Irfmdon wool warehouses teen so filled as they now are. Down at the docks thousands of bales are stacked outside and covered over with tarpaulins. This should suit some of the warehouse keepers, one big firm, which is a limited company, bavins- pa Id no dividend to Its ordinary shareholders for years. But, apart rrom that, the carryover is one of the largest ever known, and it is this which - Is making users say that wool cannot pos sibly advance so long as such btg stocks are held in tendon awaiting a. sale. In the table below we show the quantity of wool which has been carried for ward at the first three series of sales during recent' years, and the figures are well worth digesting: .'

The comparison should be encouraging to the trade, because the stocks of raw material are not half nor even a ouarter what they were in 1900. The cftlef cause of the break down at that time was that every man ufacturer was filled up with raw sup plies, whereas today they are carrying a mere handful compared with eight years ago. At that time the trade could not absorb the large weight of wool that was available, but today a, changed front on the part of users -would see every ' bale transferred - from London to the mills ff the world. "Where any wool at the recent series f London sales commanded the atten tion nt TTnltnd States buyers they rave a full penny more, than either home or continental buyers. ; What they, have taken Is not a very great deal, but It 4s 60 per cent more than tjiey took at the March series a year ago, and in the table below wo give American purchases at the three series or sales for the past two yeara;w; .... ,-;t Amerlcax. purchases Abroad, jvj. .U-'i i i ii i90U v.. 190s.

How ever, the corner hes been turned and that is something to be thankful for. Next season may see them operating on a fairly large scale,-for manufacturing conditions in tne states are graauauy Improving, and bytne time a new Aus tralian season opens the presidential election wiu oe over.

Broetje. .. ; Crook eounty will harvest a good crop of hay and grain this year, if present indications hold out. Two weeks ago discouraging reports were heard from all parts of the county because, of the extremely cold spring and ' the great number of windy days.- Then It was thought there would not be hay enough to feed the teams. ' The prospects for grain were thought to be , even worse. Now this is all changed. 'Considerable rain has fallen and everything assumes a new aspect. Sunshine was all that was needed, 1 and with it came nights sufficiently warm to prevent frost, says the Crook County Journal. , All the Irrigated farms In the coun try, without exception, will produce an average crop, and the majority will do much better. - - The Crooked river and Ochoco Valleys, with their tributaries, are waving green fields of alfalfa and grain. ' The dry farms do-not look so well, but nearly all will produce remunerative crops. , " Fruit has suffered in some localities, but . a fair crop is reported. Some of the orchards have not been touched by the frost, - The general condition of the range is good. Forest officials report good grass for stock in the reserves. The weather has been ideal for growing; purposes. The San Francisco Commercial News gives the following wf the grain condi tions in California: . ' ; Colusa county reports that the grain crop Is turnlng out'well and the yield of barley will exceed that of last year by 2 6 per cent. - , Yolo county harvest Is doing setter than was anticipated.- Barley will sur pass the yield of last year 60,000 to 100.000 sscks. - - ' Concord, contra Costa county Grain yield is turning out just about the same as last year. - XfraHs and vegetables. -' POTATOES Old. . selling. 78 080c: sweet, 56HJ! r new' potatoes, $2 cwt.

' J Terrific waves tossed the big British steamer Allanton about with such reck lessness on her way north from Sap Francisco that those on board had a hard time keeping their feet . Time and again - they would be thrown vio lently from one side to the other un less they managed to ' grasp a rope or rail and thus check their flight Second Engineer F. Mason was sent flying through the engine room when the steamer gave a violent lurch, and in trying to nave himself from, injury broke his right arm. The Injured limb was set-by Captain Motyer, but Ma son will probably go to the marine hos pital for a few ..days for treatment, since It was by no means an easy task to set a broken limb when the steamer rolled and pitched to the danger point. - The Allanton arrived up at the mills of the Inman-Poulsen Lumber com- F'any at 10 o'clock this morning to load umber for Kobe and Shanghai under charter to the Pacific Export Lumber company. She left San Francisco last Thursday night and It was thought here that the tedious voyage was due to the vessel's bottom being foul, but her swift run up the river proved that such was not the case but that it was the strong wind and seas that kept her back.- - - " ' The Allanton Is a fine freighter hay ing capacity for all of 8,600,000 feet of lumber. She carries European officers and a Chinese crew with the exception of one man who belongs to Mauritius. Second Officer Maxwell was here 10 years ago In the British ship Bermuda. First Officer Mitchell and Third Of ficer' Gilbert are visiting Portland for the first time. .. - -.-. in - : HAD VERY CLOSE CALL, Ship Carnarvon Bay Poked Nose Into . Monster Iceberg.. Relative to the exciting voyage of the British ship Carnarvon Bay from this port to England, the Shipping Gasette of June 18 says: ' "The Liverpool ship Carnarvon Bay, which arrived at Southampton, reports having had a dangerous collision with an Iceberg on the morning of March 17, in latitude 60 south and longitude 69 west. The ship was running .under reduced canvas, going about five knots ,ln a fog. The crew were startled by an im pact with huge Iceberg. Endeavors were immediately made to get the ship clear. In this the crew only succeeded after a trying experience. The iron bowsprit was buckled in two places, and all the headgear carried away. ; The Stern and figurehead became twisted, the anchor stock bent and the planking on the fore deck put slightly out of place. ' .' "Between 20' and 80 tons Of Ice dropped on the forecastle deck, and the fore yard came down by the run, carry ing away the forerlgglng..- The crew were crushed to the after part of the vessel, the berg towering 260 feet above their heads. For about one hour they went In contact with the iceberg. When the ship fortunately got clear. The crew were relieved to una tne snip was not damaged below the water line. She sub sequently passed Icebergs in an area of about 800 miles in circumference." A brief account of the collision -was received here by cable the day the ves sel reached port. . IN NEED OF MORE DOCKS. ' Steamer Homer Brings Freight and Agent Hustles tor Space. ' That Portland is in need of a great deal more dock space than Is available was again demonstrated this morning when the steamer Homer arrived from San Francisco with freight end pas sengers. The passengers wers landMl at Oak street dock but there was no room for the freight the big warehouse oeing already crowaea. Agent Baker struck, out to find tern porary cover for the : freight and he will' probably have a hard time of It since every dock along the waterfront is Known to be crowaea. Tne condition of affairs Is to a certain extent due to the high water which has inundated the lower docks and hence reduced the space to hair its usual area, but it is f generally agreed that Portland is great y in need of more dock space. Captain Dorrls of the Homer reports having had a pleasant run up the 'coast He escaped the storm that handled the British steamer Allanton so roughly. The Homer will carry wheat for a re turn cargo. i ' : ALONG THE WATERFRONT. The steamer Alliance, Captain Olson, arrived from Coos bay last night and went to Greenwich dock. - . - The British steamer Ascot arrived at Astoria this morning under charter to load lumber for New Zealand.

The pacific Kxport Lumber company will dispatch the shipment The torpedo boats Davis and Fox left down this afternoon bound for Eureka where they are to remain over the holi days. They will be escorted bv thi torpedo boat destroyers Ooldsboro and Atowan wnicn are at Astoria. The steamer Breakwater, Captain Macgeen, leaves for San Francisco thie evening to go on the dry dock there for general repairs. She will return to go on the Portland-Coos bay run in about a month. In the meantime effort is be ing made to secure another steamer to take . ber run. Negotiations are said to be on for the City of Panama which Is now at San Francisco. . ' MARINE NOTES.

Armstrong, one of the executors, yesterday presented to the county court a written statement of the progress made in disposing of property that was ordered sold by ; Judge O'Day as the result of long litigation In the circuit court' The .chief item is an offer of 325,000 for unsold real estate In Columbia county by Mrs. .Emily J. Noon, .widow of W. C. Noon. Armstrong and W. C. Noon Jr. are the executors of the state, but the latter ref ueed to sign the report. - Armstrong says that Noon regarded the price as Inadequate. The report tells of the sale of other property In Columbia county for 89.600. If Mrs. Noon's offer is ac cepted, therefore, the total derived from tne Columbia county tanas wiu pe 34, 600. The appraised value was 333.763. The Columbia farm has long been a sort of white elephant for the executors. In a letter filed with Armstrong's re port from Mrs. Noon's attorneys they say they have suggested to ber the ln advlsabillty of investing 325,000 In such unproductive property, but that sho is anxious to close the estate and set tle with the clamorous creditors. - HO JM X-.. 1- ..

Secretary Williamson of the state horticultural commission . says Oregon will have a bumper apple crop this year. Apples were about the only fruit not seriously affected by the cold weather hlrh nroTallAil in the fruit raising dis tricts of the state this spring. This fruit is hardier than others and thrives under conditions that klU the growth of nearly every other kind. ine pear-crop is oiuy umu, v. what it normally is. Cherries are scarce, the crop reports showing a fall ing off of nearly 25 per cent from the ordinary' yield. Peaches were not sr- reciea so mucn oy in row,1 peach sections of the state are in the more sheltered valleys, v Strawberries are higher priced this year because of the deficiency in the crop and other berries will show a corresponding short age this summer. The price of most irutts nas not gone up notiwinsutnuuig the smaller crops, aa sale conditions are not nearly so favorable as they were last. year. -. - - The state is obliged to depend for Its statistics largely on the business -reports of county inspectors which are a meager source of information at best In California and other states the county assessors keep a record of the num ber of trees bearing fruit every year and In this manner an early and accur ate estimate of the fruit crop is pos sible every year In those states. The officials of the . State Horticultural board have been endeavoring for nom time to secure legislation providing for similar - action on the part ot Oregon assessors. . 1. 1 11111 1' mmmmm x Auction! Auction!.
