- Salmon. Boa la Very Small.
Run of salmon In the Columbia Is
- "very small according to Robert S. Far
rell of Kverding & Farrell, owners of
the Pillar Rock cannery. Mr. Farrell
: has Just returned from a trip down
the river and says: "While the catch
is not good it Is about equal to that
of last year although, a better; one was
' expected this season. The oanneries of
the lower river are running only about
half the time because of their inability
to secure sufficient supplied. For in
stance a cannery not operating' today
will hold Its fish over until tomorrow,
The weather la cool enough to do this
successfully."
J. Pack Smaller Thaa Tear Ago.
Pack of salmon along the Columbia i
river la from 25 to J81-S per cent
. smaller than a year ago. This Is due
to the cool weather and to the fact
that the season this year did not open
until 15 days after Ita usual time. Re
ports received, by The Journal this
morning from the upper Columbia in
dicate no falling off in the catch of
blueback salmon there but the run of
chinooks is still very disappointing.
8o far as prices are concerned the
salmon market stands in a very good
" position. With holdover stocks of
salmon light lit all centers the new
. pack enters the market with a light
pack in sight and a liberal demand,
while this would seem to indicate a
better price for the canned fish, rep
. resentatives of the various packers who
met this 'week at Astoria decided to
: hold to last year's values which are
as follows: - . -
Per Dos.
Pound talis $1.65
Pound flats 1.75

Pound ovals 2.30
An advance of So a dosen over these
prices is charged for keyed cans., the
printed rigures Deing lor oromary paca
ages. Offerlag lOo tt Hop Contracts.
Hop dealers are now freely offering
lAc a Bound for hop contracts but are
not meeting with any success in land
ing supplies. The few growers who
have not tied up their coming produc
lion and have favorable prospects, are
looking for higher values and therefore
'.will not sign. Herman Klaber of Kla-
.'. ber, wolf at Netter company today con
firmed the recent damage news In the
' hopyards as printed by The JournaL
"'"The yards are suffering from back
ward weather, old age and poor culti
vation in recent years," he says. "I
believe that The Journal's estimate of
about 66.004 bales for 1909 is about cor
rect although estimates are ranging
from 60.000 to 80,000 bales."
Chicken Demand Zs Tery Good.
' ": There continues generally a very
good demand for chickens and all re
cent Arrivals were readily cleaned up
at the quoted - printed figures on this
page. , Old ducks are hard to move
even around 14 and 15c but young ones
. are in demand around 20 and 2lMc.
Exactly the same condition exists in
regard to old geese. The latter are
out of season.
Ess- market is softer with the top a
- S4e and little movement even at that
figure. Large lots could not be moved
peaaiiy even at sso canaiea.
Brief Votes of 'Wholesale Trade.

increase. yuamy is -oeuer, However.

product of that state. -

FLOUR OF LOW
E FOR FAST
GAD
Small Movement From Inte
rior Reported Chicago
Is Principal Buyer.
Several small sized sales of flour have
been made by Pacific northwest millers
to Chicago and other cities during the
past few days and there is a demand for
more stock.
-Most of the eastern sales have been
filled through Interior mills because of
the savings in frolKht charge, Spokane
securing a majority of the business
through Portland connections.
Demand for our Hour now coming
from the east is principally for the
cheaper grades, but It is HKeiy mat
some business could be turned in
patents could this grade be secured. Ac
cording to a prominent milling au
thority there is little patent flour re
maining; In fact, scarcely enough for
home ' consumDtlon. so sales eastward
are practically out of the question.

Portland Union Stockyards. May 21.
There was a very poor showing. of
rattle arrivals In the yards today, but
this had no effect whatever upon prices
or demand. The heavy purchases of
leading killers at canrornia points aur
ing recent days has stilled the demand
In the yards to a considerable extent
and it is doubtful if present values
could be maintained were the arrivals
to show any material Increase.
With the wants of the big killers sat
isfied so 'far as the near future is con
corned, the prospect for high cattle
prlees Is not exceedingly bright. How
ever, considering this state of affairs,
the present standing of the cattle mar
ket here is wonderful. Of the cattle
now coming forward Into the local
yards few are shown from Paclflo
northwest points. Practically all of
the recent arrivals In that line nave
been from the south.
California Movement to Increase.
Movement of California grass cattle
into this market Is to show quite an
Increase during the coming week. Over
80 cars are already routed In this dl

QUITE ERRATIC
New York, May 21. News of the de
cision favorable to Western Union in
Its $6,000,000 suit against the American
Telephone & Telegraph company caused
a stampede of buyer In that security
and sent Western Union shares up to 78
or t polnta above the closing yesterday.
The advance was lost later In the day
when the price reverted. to 76.
Rumor was persistent In placing
United States Steel common on a 4 per
cent basis within the coming six months
and this was an aid to all metal shares
although Smelter closed a fraction
lower.
Northern Pacific shares had a spell
of activity that sent the price 1 Vi points
above the close of yesterday and Great
Northern preferred participated In the
advance to the extent of . point.
While Harrlman shares were active
there was a tinge of weakness in both
Southern Pacific and Union Pacific
after a higher opening. Southern closed
H aud l nion point above yesterday.
The general Hat was little changed
from yesterday's final figures at the
closing today.
-Mr. Armour. The
purchases of the provision king were
aid to run Into millions of bushels
during recent days. While most of his
operations are said to be In the July de
livery, his takings of May were among
tne best oi me year.
The chtnra of heart of sentiment
the former bear leader has caused much
comment among the speculative and
milling trade. Because of his extensive
connections and knowledge of wheat
conditions everywhere and his former
standing and reputation or always d
Ing a bear, seems significant and this
alone caused the general trade to buy
wheat today.
Fnrtm markets were of very bullish
character today with Parts lV4c higher
at the close. Liverpool opened with
a hesitating tone and prices d higher
