The rains are ruining the cherry crop of western Oregon, but no damage from the aagtera . section haa thus far been reported. The damage la -.most severe to the Royal Ann variety. Thla la due JO the fact that the fruit la generally Beginning to ripen In the Willamette valley. The crop In the Willamette valley thla yaar U very email, and now with addi tional damage from the rains, it la not believed that the marketable output will be a quarter of the normal gathering. Receipts from eaatern Oregon are till heavy. Bhlpmenta from The Dalles are fully aa great aa during any previous aeaaon at thla time. Quality la the beat in yeara, and for that reaaon price continue high. Both Royal Ann cherrlea are today Generally quoted at lOo a pound In oxea. 80 1W varieties are In rather liberal aupply from the valley, and are selling from 8 to 6c a pound, according to iivality. There wen no BIngs offer lag on the trade either Monday or to day on account of the tain. Cannot rick Strawberries. ' The ruins h.Vn lntarftr4 m-llh lh. ahlpmenta. of strawberries to the Front treet trade, and receipta thla morning were limited. Sale were made from $1.60 to f 1.76 a crate, according to qual ity. Aocordlng to grower, there will be only a nominal amount of thla fruit to ofTer In the Immediate future. Demand for home canning la about over, owing to the abaence of the canning varieties from the market. Regular canneries are still putting up all offerings, and for theae they are paying varloua quo tations. A few email shipments of loganber ries and raspberries are coming for ward, but the vclume Is too email to fully tent quotations. Small shipments of currants are be ing received from some of the earlier districts of Washington. XKW IOTATOK8 EASIER Indicated by prices. Choice Willamette valley wool are quoted aa high aa 17o a pound with ordinary lota from II 4 to I mo a pound. Quite a number of purchaaee have been made thua far thla wee at the range quoted. Outalde of the regular aalea at east em Oregon points, thers la little doing In the wool trade there. Price on the wnoie aney be considered a fraction low er, although In a few Instances the former top la atlll being offered and paid for the selected clips. The atrength In the wool trade at thla time la confined mostly to the better clasa of offerlnga and the premium be ing paid la somewhat greater than uaual over the ordinary run of atork. Thie la due tothe fact that sheep men have sons more and more Into the mutton branch of ti" market, and therehv in creased the output of coarse wools while the finer quality la gradually deereaa- ing. SJ GET LOGANBERRY TASTE Eugene, Or., June 17 Eugene will ahlp to Chicago ) 2.000 gallons of pre served loganberrlea this spring, and they will be eaten In the markets of the east and will bear the name of Eugene on the cana wherever they go. The lo ganberry crop around Eugene this year is very heavy, and because of a atrong eaatern demand the prices will be well up. The fact that the loganberry can not be grown any place In the united States other than in Oregon, Washing ton and California, and that the eaat Ta lust learning of thla berry, which satis fies a demand fir a sour fruit, may open a great field for thla crop In the Willamette valley. The local growers will get a price that will be not less than ISO a ton, an. I possibly much more. The fact that wi'h but little attention eight or nine tors of berries can he grown on an acre makes .this imlustry very lucrative. The demand for the berry has Increased greatly. Last year the Eugene cannery put out only 860 crates. Many farmera are setting out loganberrlea with the , expectation of still further advanrea as the berry be comes better known east of the Rocky mountains.

One load of extra good lamba was likewise picked out of the mass. The market la extremely poor for feeder stuff In the sheep and lamb di vision. Old wethera of this quality sold down to It. 06 at the North Port land yards this morning, and there waa not much bidding at thla figure. At the aame time feed wethera aold at 12.76 and yearlings at 13.05. Much surprise is expressed by the trade at the shipment of so much poor stuff to the sheep msrket at North Portland. This class of stuff is worth more at country polnta than here in fact purchases made in this line re cently ' have been for outside account, the sheep being shipped back to the in terior to be finished. Notwithstanding the low prices that are at 'ri resent ruiinc In the feed stock of the sheep market. North Portland is fast growing in importance aa a feeder market. This line la being developed, and It is expected that ere long the local yards will aucc.sbfully compete with central west yards aa a feeding center. Oood Sheep Are Steady. While lower prlrea and weaknesa Is shown In the local market for feed sheep, trade is lioldln" quite steady for good quality, one lot of lamba was sold here this morning to a Seattle New Tori P"ker at an advance of 10c X UU.J a lull i-1 1 . . ...... .v.

The local territory haa a reputation of producing the beat cabbage and cauli flower on the eoaat but the acres haa been limited owlnv to the lack or han dlers for outalde shipment.
