- 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. Decline of Sc In the price of western
and California and Hawaiian sugar
quoted by local Jobbers and mentioned
In this report Saturday, took effect this
morning.
More local cabbage is offering. Price
unchanged.

trading in the wheat pit today and quo
tailnnn were renerallv advanced. The
closing was 1 to lhto a bushel over
the final of Saturday.
At the opening the Jury moved to
113 today, September 106T4. December
105. and May 1084. The closing was
114U bid. 108&. 10SU bid and 1094 for
the four options respectively.
Traders in the July acted with con
siderable caution at the start although
the bids were hie advanced over the
ending of Saturday's session. Many of
those who had figured prominently in
th -Tnlv ileal started over toward the
September today and this foroed the lat
ter Option into most prominence with
the result that it closed with the highest
gain for the day.
News of the growing crop was not
of character to Inspire confidence In
the bull side; all news received today
indicating a better yield than had been
anticipated.

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

MIXED GlflOfiS,
WRITES JOHN US
Chicago, June 21. 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

OF STOCK RAID
Eeported Failure of Dela
ware & Hudson to Absorb
Road Forces Selling:.
New York. June II. Reported fail
ure of the Delaware & Hudson to ab
sorb the Wabash brought about a. heavy
line of short selling and liquidation in
the general stock . market today, . re
sulting In a serious decline in most
shares with Wabash oreferred the prin
cipal sufferer.
Wabash preferred went down' to 53 H
at the closing today or Just 4 points
lower than Katuniav while nommon
B.ooa ai zuh toaay compared wltir81.
Selling pf Wabash shares unsettled
the entire list anJ Union- Pacific closed
3 ' points lower, Southern Pacific 2
and Reading 3i points.
Much weakness was shown In copper
shares. Continued pressure abroad and
an unfavorable outlook for the metal
market forced heavy blocks of Amalga
mated on the' market and the close was
weak, 3 points under Saturday.
Steel stocks felt the pressure of other
losses and common closed 2 and pre
ferred 2 points under the previous end
ing. The Wall Street Journal says:
"Americans in London steady, about
parity. Wisconsin state railway com
mission authorizes St. Paul $50,000,000
new bonds for branch lines. Lackawanna
will adjust its holdings of coal lands
In the near future. Canadian Pacific
will earn nearly 10 per cent on the com
monhls ywar. Better movement of
anthracite and better outlook. Harvest
ing of winter wheat generally delayed
by lateness of season. Dry goods houses
