Conilltlona In the Tillamook cheese
market are very bullish, according to

makers say they have already clea -.1
tin all of their June make, he htat"
and most of their July make to dat
has been taken care of by buyers. I ho
ere not disposed to hurry wales, "J
believe the market will go to a htghr
Jlgure. While they have fold a con
elderable amount of cheese of late, evry
box that left the Cheese clly has be-n
Old at exactly the price the ilers
caked. They are not shading their
values a fraction In order to do busi
ness. , .
"At Tillamook the situation Is a moat
unusual one. Generally speaking there
la a larire surplus of cheese there Just
nr.vlmi. nnd after the .flush of the sea
inn hut now the flush of the season
over and everything Is cleaned up.
Local Cheese Market Vary rirm.
The local cheese market Is very firm
at the recently advanced values, no
alea being reported under the flgus-s
. ,,iri ttnm interests are talking cl
boosting prices another fraction.
Thpri. Is nothing of Interest transplr
in? in the local butter market at this
time, values being held quite sttff ut
the recently advanced values owing to
the smaller make.
There Is only a fair tone ruling In
the local egg market at this time.
While Interests bringing In oaste-n
tock are endeavoring to put an arti
ficial value on the local product In or
der to make more money on their Im
ported stork, those who really do a
regular business In local eggs find the
Situation far from being strong. While
an occasional sale of eggs may be re
ported along the street as high as jc
a dozen, this is for extra select stoik
end practically all the business Is done
around 24c. Once In a while a sale Ik
reported at 23 He A car of eastern
ggs arrived yesterday and stimulated
the outsiders to boost the price of local
utock to a figure where they could un
load their own while local eggs remained
Tinsold. Same old scheme which is
worked every year.
Carmicheal Stops Hop Contracta.
NO' more 10c contracts on the coming
hop crop are being written at this time.
.The authority for this statement is
ijohn Carmiehael of Salem, who has to
date done all of the 10c business. 'I
am not in the market for contracts at
;the present time at 10c," Mr. Car
miehael told The Journal. Other deal
ers report a general absence of business
locally.
The New York Producers- Trice Cur
rent elves the following view of the
lion situation In its latest issue:
'The inactivity in the local market
continues and there are no Immediate
prospects of a revival of business. The
only Interesting features are the crop
reports. From New York state heavy
ehowers are reported from all sections
which will undoubtedly have a good
effect on both the quantity and quality.
The vine is reported to be entirely free
from vermin and promises a fairly
good yield. From England all prospects
point to a very good crop both In quan
tity and quality and the continental re
ports could not be better. In New York
state sor.'.e buying is reported of the
lower grades at from 3Sj4c, about ?;0
bales having been sold at these prices."
Brief Notes of the Trade.
Local peaches are very scarce with
prices higher. A shipment of fine i:l
bertas from California is reported.
Priced at S0c$l.
Loganberries arrived in bad shape
today.
Cherry market is firmer and price is
advanced 2ic a box for fancy Lamberts.
(Season closing.
Wild blackberries are arriving more
freely and are in fine demand at 10c a
pound.
According to an advice received by
Fecretary Miller of the board of trade
from M O. LonnsUiile the apple crop
of the Willamette valley Is about Tfi
per rent of the normal. He reports
Baldwins very scarce, Spitzenberss
about a 60 per cent crop, Ben Davis
and Yellow Newtons about 00 per cent
rop. The June crop was very heavy on
Borne varieties, reducing the yield from
a !"0 per cent crop to 5 per cent.
Tomatoes are lower with heavier ar
rivals. fceera cars of bananas arrived in
good shape this morning.

Chicago.. July 30. If vou can remem
ber the year 1904 you will find a season
wtilcb black rust caused enormous
damage to the wheat of the northwest
ami caused the May option to advance
$1 1S a bushel in September.
Tho situation today somewhat re
sembles the 1904 situation, for the trado
Is talking lust as wildly of damage by
rust. If the rust continues to spread
it will cause a runaway market, say
even the most conservative traders.
There was heavy buying by Europe
after tho opening today on reports of
damage and Liverpool closed to 'ud

firm after the opening and closed

Because they Jld not py for tha gas
consumed or for ranges or mantles pur
chased, 20 householders of Portland
have been made defendant In suits
filed today in the Justice court by tha
Portland Oaa company.
It haa usually been the custom for
the gas company merely to shut off the
gas of delinquent subscribers, and only
a very few such cases have been
brought heretofore. The filing of these
suits by Attorney James E. Cralb means
the adoption of a new policy by the
gas company.
"Under the old'' system of simply
shutting off the gas when consumers
became delinquent It cost the company
about $10,000 a year," said Attorney
Cralb this morning "and henceforth
such bills will be collected through the
courts If necessary.
"Tho company also proposes to In
stitute test cas.es against consumers
having purchased gas on what Is termed
an average monthly" basis. These cases
are the results of meters that fall to
register the actual amount of gas pass
ing through so that while- the average
bill would bo, say $10 a month, it might,
for one month, be but $1.
"Consumers have refused to pay more
than for the actual quantity Indicated
bv the meter although they know per
fectly well that they used as much gas
that month as on the average before.
These cases will be carried to the su
preme court."
