London : Has More Wool
Than for Any Time ince
19003Iay Improve.
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:

Decrease Compared "Witfc 1901.
- "We" have purposely gone back to
the last boom and slump period.. and it
will be- seen from the above that the
quantity of wool is actually leas today
than in 1900. 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; ....

si "The above Is little more in tne sg-
fregate than half what they took in
907, and when it is remembered that
America has bought but a handful in
Australasia during the recent season
compared with the record purchased it
year ago,-their lessened takings in Lon
don are all the more surprising.' 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. ' , ,

According to Fred Broetje, one of the
moat prominent gardeners and hothouse
men of this section, the Mount Tabor
district, will produce a very good cur
rant crop this season, strawberry
season will last tw - weeks longer,
states Sir. 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. -

Portland Union Stockyards, June 26.
There is a decided Improvement in the
entire livestock market,: .The situation
looms up better from all sides. This is
true in every line. - '
The big surplus of cattle which pack
ers bought in the south, causing a stam
pede of values here, is no more. The
big stocks have been used up, and now
with very nominal arrivals the killers
are agin bidding for . stuff,, and
muoh more willing to buy at ruling
quotations, r- ,
Hogs are quoted with, a strong, tone
today, with supplies not quite as good
as demand Justifies. For the day 197
hogs were received, compared with 100
a year ago today and none either two or
three years ago.
Sheep market remains In a steady to
firm position, with receipts and de
mand about equal. Arrivals were 230
head, compared with 260 in 1907, 606 two
years ago and none for thlstate in 1905.
A year go today All lines were easy
at unchanged values.
Official yard values today:
Hogs Best stuff, $6.25; China fats,
$6.76u8.00; stockers and feeders, ).
Cattle Fancy eastern Oregon steers,
$4.00; medium, $8.608.76; . best cows.

British SteanyjrJUlanton
.Arrives !From San
' Francisco. '
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

: 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. Sr-e
will load at Linnton and St Johns. 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. .

Settlement of Noon Property
Still a jratter of Ar-. .
, ' , . gument. .....
Forced by the clamor of creditors to
make a report on offers received for
property belonging to the W. ' C Noon
trust estate, V. J. 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. -

the offer of Mrs. Noon to the court'
' Armstrong states that . he has re
ceived an offer of $160 per acre for two
twenty-acre tracts of the "home place"
in Columbia county, but these are the
choice twenties of the tract and it is
feared, that if an effort' were made to
sell the land In parcels there would be
long aeiay ana .tne aggregate v price
might fall below the offer made by Mrs.
Noon, t Hers in the only proposition
made on the whole tract -
The report shows that W. C. Noon Jr.
and his mother are far from an agree

to the court the offer his mother has

American actresses in the Ibsen drama.
Kosmerstioim ' has never been seen
in Portland, but Is one of the most ab
sorbingly interesting of the Norwegian
dramatist's plays. Mrs. Fiske as Re
becca West, is held to have done the
most perfect acting In her esK-eer. It la
a character so full of possibilities, so
shadowy, so grey, that for an ordinary
actress to attempt the role would be
to present a tissueiess blurred woman
and hold her up as a work of art

anti-syndicate as to whether) Mrs. Fiske
could Dlay In one of the larger thutru
if she wanted to goes merrily on a n1
nobody knows which side is right.) The
anu-vynaicate people, Mrs. Flsxe s rep

representations regarding a land deal

a homestead relinquishment He says
he was told the land was 14 miles from
Woodland, In Cowlits county, Wash.,
but It is actually 25 miles distant Told
that 20 acres were cleared, he found
only five. Instead of a good house, as
he says he was led to expect, he found
a shack. Instead of 2,000.000 feet of
good timber on the land, he says, there
are only a few scrubby trees. He wants
the court to compel Sutton , to return
the money he paid. , , ;

Only Fruit Not Seriously
.Damaged by Unfavorable
Spring: Weather. .'
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. .
