TODAY'S WHOLESALE MARKETS. Contracting new wheat crop. Strawberry season closing. : Blng cherries coming. Lemon market advanced 26c case. Provisions showing advances. Sugar decline takes effect. Eggs still unsteady. Borne chickens carried over. Tomato market easier. - Contracting Hsw Crop Wheat. : Several contracts on new crop wheat . have been reported made at 'nterior points since lust Friday. A number have been completed In the Palouse around SOc a bushel for Turkey red. warehouse Interior. Range of values for new crop is very wide; bluestem sellsng as high aril a bushel, while some deals are re ported down to 90c. However, the mar ket is unusually firm tor contracts and producers would be able to sell heavy supplies st ruling values providing they were of' that mind. Talk of Htw Oats Contracts, While no news of a definite nature Is obtainable at this time, It is stated that several contracts on the coming crop of oats have been made around 1.30 a cental for early delivery, although It is quite possible that this figure is not exactly In line with real conditions. While there is likewise some talk of barley contracts at unusually high fig ures because of the bare condition or avery market along the coast, no fig ures ars available even In a rumored way. Efforts to Advance Flour Futile. Efforts are still being made by some 'i' of the outside mills' to force a higher value for flour in Cthls market but thus far -they have 'not met with the least success. Larger millers say there will be no rise In flour values as far as they are concerned and without them the smaller millers would be unable to maintain a higher range even though they tried. Strawberry Season Is Closing. i Market for strawberries is closing very fast and this morning's offerings along Front street were not half of what they were on Saturday. The prices are not ranging any higher be- .: cause of. the poorer. quality of the offer ings and growers say the stock is get ting poorer as the season wanes. or ' best Magoons the price along the street this mornjng ruled around $1.4091.60 a crate of 24s, although most of the sales of best quality were made at the higher range. Clarke were very scarce and sold at $1.76, while some Wilsons were offering at a similar figure. Blng Cherries From The Dalles. Receipts -of Blng cherries from The Dalles are Increasing. Quality is the best of the present season in fact pres ent arrivals are about the' only first class t cherries received thus far this season. Some receivers made consider able effort to hold the price at $1.26 ' 1.60, but the trade was unable to ob tain more than $1 91.26 generally. As a whole, the cherry market is In un satisfactory shape, because of the huge offerings of poor early stock. Prices range from Zt a pound upward. Lemon Market Advanoed. Anticipation or warm weaiuer ana not present conditions, caused an ad vance of 25c in the price of lemons re- r,niv r nrimarv iiuiniB Hnn in limb market a similar rise Is being quoted today by the Front street trade. Mexican limes are offering in small lots around $1 per 100. , . ; Soma Chickens Carried Over. Some chickens were carried over from Saturday by the Front street trade be f cause of the slower demand. Receipts have been so liberal of late that the big retail buyers have thelrTlaces filled and are more Independent than hereto- fore. Egg market is easy with no visible change In prices. Dressed meats are firm for all lines of good quality. Butter market Is firmer. ' Cheese Is steady with prices un . changed. Brief Wotea of Wholesale Trade. Provision prices are generally ad-' vanced according to the list issued by the Union Meat company today. Hams are up c, bacon He, and lard of all grades 14 c a pound. -' ' Tomato market is easier with heavier offerings from caarornia ana local hot houses.

PORTLAND LIVESTOCK RUN. Sheep. 326 407 1,967 1.290 Tuesday Portland Union Stockyards, June 21. There was a fair showing of cattle In the yards over Sunday so far as receipts were concerned but the quality of late arrivals has been unusually poor. There is practically no supply of good stuff available at this time al though so far as demand la concerned there never was a better time to ship than the present moment. Bo say com mission handlers and buyers and there is no getting away from such evidence. Total run of cattle In the yards dur ing the past 48 hours were 254 head comparing with 180 Saturday. 80 Fri day, 223 Thursday, 495 Wednesday, 231 Tuesday and 204 head a week ago today. Poor Stuff Carried Over. So far as prices are concerned there was no change of sentiment In the cat tle market. Demand for some time has been for the better class of steers and cows, but few of this character have been offering. Some very poor stuff which put In appearance on Saturday, could not be sold that day and was carried over until this morning and still was without any one favorably enough impressed to purchase even at low prices. Hogi Hot Fit to Kill. While the run of hogs has been very poor recently, some of the arrivals have not found buyers because they are not good enough to kill. Top hogs are very firm and there Is no doubt that former high values would be easily maintained providing the duality was offertnc but as killers have been forced recently to bring in heavy supplies from the east, they say they cannot use the poor stuff at any price. So far as feeders are con cerned the present price Is far out of lire when compared with good stuff and this is why stockmen are not buy ing. Sheep market remains in about the same position as Saturday with some lambs moving at $5$5.25. although the latter price was obtainable only in a nominal way and then for select qual ity. Frank Dlnges of Junction City was in with lambs that brought top -quota tions. Today's run of livestock compares with this day in recent years as fol lows: Hogs. Cattle.

John Tnglls writes from Springfield: Springfield is her alded In having such a fine crop, but I find conditions much more mixed than in previous vears. For 10 miles north from the city,- yields will run eight to 20 bushels, with some good quality, but bradth of area of good wheat lim ited. General average will be disap pointing, some" fields look like 15 bushels, but will not make over 8 to 10 as blight and scab has almost ruined some of It. Cutting is general, too much rain has caused Injury. Oats have improved greatly, average very large. Corn all right, but a month late. FINEST SPECIMENS OF WHITMAN GEAIN Colfax, Wash., June 21. Two of "the finest specimens of grow-In era In ever seen in mis section were toaay forwarded to I. B. Harris, manager of the Whitman county exhibit at the A--Y.-P. exposition at Seattle, by Former State Senator Oliver Hall of Colfax, to be added to the already extensive col lection of cereal exhibits In the Whit man county display. The larger of the samples Is 40-fol.J. and is 6 feet and an 4nch in length, while the smaller one, which is hut half an Inch shorter than the other, is one of the hybrid varieties propagated at the experimental station at Washington, known as No. 123. Both of the samples were selected at random from an 80 sera field of fall sown grain on Senator Hall's farm, a mile east of Colfax, and the land on which they were grown has never beer, artificially fertilized, nor has tha grain had any more cul tivation Or care than is customary in the conimon methods of farming em ployed In this locality.
