Strawberries Show a Slump.
Prices In the local strawberry mar
ket show a remarkable ' sLumn today.
Pest berries sold at $1.E0 a crate for
24s and some poor stock went as low as
1. However, considering the quality,
him nigner pricea rruit . was cneapesi
'l he supplies- of strawberries show a
very heavy Increase and all sections
were reoresented In today's shlnmenta.
Quality of most arrivals was unusually
good and for that reason the buying
h gooa in me race or me snarpiy ww
er values. Present Indications ara that
the local strawberry season will be a
Very short ona and that prices will rule
very tow for awhile, because most 01
ui iruit will ripen at once.
Potato Karkrt Koldia.
In the potato market a very' steady
tone continued today for old stock. Bales
are stlir being made at the high figures
recently quoted, uemana ror our pota
toes continues liberal In the south and
Shippers have cleaned up most othelr
holdings. In San Francisco today Ore
gon HurDanks were auoted steady
3.4e)2.fiO. In the north the price of
beet Yakimas went as high as 150 and
from that figure sales were madetlown
so tin a ton.
Hop Contracts Are rirmer.
For contracts on the coming crop the
hop"-market is very firm these days. For
several good yards as high as 14o a
pound has been offered recently for the
coming growth, but in each instance
the offer has been refused. Orowers
who have good prospects for the com
ing yield are not disposed to contract and
the higher the offerings for their com
ing growth the firmer their views be
come. So far as known to the general
trade there Is no present business In
pot stock.
There has been another of those sud
den flops of demand In the market for
chickens. For awhile the trade cared
for nothing but good fat hens, but now
tho call Is Just the reverse and springs
are being sought, while hens are not
. moving nearly so fast. A prominent
Front street house sends out the fol
lowing weekly circular regarding chick
ens: "Last week matters were rather quiet
J a regards poultry, with demand rather
Ight for all but large springers. We
would not be surprised were conditions
a little better this week, for we have
the Rose Festival on and will have
lots of visitors In the city, and a Vood
many of them will want to eat chicken,
for hens the market has been 14Qil4Vic;
for springers (they must be lty pounds
or better, average the demand is very
good at 20 22c. Small springers Jare
not wanted at all, and we and all others,
have had a great deal of trouble In get
ting rid of them. Buyers do not want
the very small ones at all, at any price.
Ve look for a good demand for large
Aprlngers all this week. Spring ducks
(they must be three pounds or better)
are fair sellers at 20c. ' There are no
Chinese In the city to speak of, and
the duck market suffers. Old geese, dull
at 9c, and a few large rat young
ones should bring from 15 to 20c per
pound. Live .turkeys, lS20o per
pound. It is too warm to ship- dressed
goods these days, unless they are Iced.
Squab pigeons are weaker at 12. 26(8:1.60
per dosen." i
' Eggs Are Just About Steady.
Receipts of eggs are quite liberal
and demand In (rood. The market Is
well able (o take care of all arrivals
and there is no extra demand just at
this time. Some supplies are still go
inn to the north, but the movement Is
not at all heavy.
Pressed meats of all kinds are firm
and select hogs and veals are especially
sought at the prices printed.
- Brief Votes of Wholesale Trade.
Supplies of salmon are still short
Some small shipments of, halibut ar
rived on the sound yesterday and helped
to relieve the famine. More liberal
shipments expected.
Apricots are In larger supply with the
price down to $1.65 1.75.
Butter Is steady, likewise cheese. No
change in either market price today.
Crated new onions are being offered
at a reduction of 25c.
Fruit trade in general, Is liberal. Fes
tival visitors taking more supplies than
the market Is accustomed to use.

' Chicago, June 8.The Issuance of the
government crop report.today, while
considered by some as a rather bullish
showing, was rather disappointing to
the longs, and this results irk- some se
rious .selling pressure after the high
folnt was reached, but outside of this
he market was good and the closing
higher. The gains ruled from io to la
a bushel at the closing.
Market for wheat opened with a very

strongest feature, and this condition

Portland Union Stockyards, June" 8.
The market for hogs was never better In
Portland than today and some select
tuff from Idaho was readily taken cars
of by the trade at $$.16. Receipts in
the yards continue of very light order
and this forces packers in competition
with each other more than ever before.
- Cattle market is showing considerable
easiness and ' the very top for select
teers today would have been $4176, al
though 'nothing that came sold at more
than $4,80. These, however. Were only
medium quality.
Sheep market shows a more liberal
run for the day, a total of 786 head
appearing in the yards during the 24
hours. This compares with 874 yester
day, 667 Saturday, 762 Friday, 843
Thursday, 608 Wednesday and 30 head
week ago today.
- Market for sheep Is rather sluggish
and buyers are more discriminating In
their purchases than they have been up
to this time.
Sound Is Still Taking Supplies.
Most of the business in the yards
during the past 24 hours was for out
side account Carsten of Tacoma again
sent out a special tralnload of cattle
from the Portland yards to his Puget
Bound packing plant and his local repre
sentative. Frank M. Lacey, Is still look
ing for additional supplies which will
be sent forward the present week.
Today's run of livestock compares

OF BERRIES IS
0HTJ00D RIVER
Hood Rlvef,, June 8. With today's
shipments. Hood River is now In the
rush of the strawberry season and car
load shipments are being sent out
dally. Two thousand crates -were
hipped out Saturday, 1200 yesterday
and the shipment today will reacch 2000
crates. Berry pickers In large numbers
are commencing to flock Into the valley
but there Is work for ail of them and it
is said that many more will have to bo
obtained to meet the rapidly increas
ing vield.
The crop in the Oak Grove and Mt.
Hood districts has nat been touched
yet and mors berries are looked for
from these districts than In any prev
ious season.
The bulk of the berries are being
shipped to points east includtng Idaho,
Montana. Utah and the Dakotas. Several
representatives who are here endeav
oring to get berries for Seattle have
met with poor success as more
money can be obtained for them by
shipping east ' The fruit is wanted in
Seattle for fair visitors.
It is now believed that th,e crop
will be fully up to the estimate of
60,000 crates and that prices will rule
good throughout the season on "account
of the short cherry crop. The berry
season at White Salmon, across the
river. Is said to be practically over,
excerpt wher growers have water to
Irrigate, as the warm weather has
withered the unlrrlgated berries.

4 New York, June 8. An un- 4

4 exchange' today stated that the
Southern Pacific company was to 4
4 retire 100,000 shares of Stock 4
4 here with the French issue of 4

the .directors of - the company 4

4 the preferred shares in the near 4
4 future. 4
New York, June 8. The general mar
ket did not participate In. the advance
noted in some of the leaders today, and
outside of the Harrlman shares and a
few of its allies the tone was rather
stagnant so far as price changes are
concerned, at least
Southern Pacific made a new high
record during the day, advancing to
$134 with great sales of stock at home
and abroad. The report that the diiec
tors were about to retire the preferred
shares was again in the limelight, and
there was also talk of retiring 100,000
shares of the common.
Union Paclfio shares received consid
erable aid during the day from the
sharp advance in, the Southern, and It
moved up to 190 as compared with the
previous closing at 189.
Louisville & Nashville was exceeding
ly bullish and moved up 1 points.
Copper shares were rather depressed.
and steel stocks, while active, found
considerable selling -pressure, with the
result that the close was within a frac
tion of Saturday, even after the shares
had received the full support of the pro
fessionals. The United Metals Sellinar company
announces that it has advanced the price
of electrolytic copper to 13 c. but this
naci no stirrening erred upon copper
shares upon today's market.
The British, German and French loan
of $27,000,000 to China for railroad con
struction will be in 6 per cent bonds, to
be issued at 95.
