An other carload ! of badly Infected Wisconsin stock la reported on the track and It Is quits probable that tbe entire shipment will be condemned. Tbe latest shipment from tbe east Is said to be. If anything, ever worse than former ones. i Considerable agitation is shown among the trade to entirely stop shipments of California new potatoes unless shippers of that state can guarantee that tbe cars contain no tuber moth, the mock dreaded potato Insect, feared by the trade of the entire country, i Some ciB xrnck is coming from California. The tober moth soems to be more prevalent in some districts than in others. Some of the trade is Inclined to the opinW that certain counties known) to be badly Infected should be quarantined while the counties shipping good stuff should be allowed to continue selling here. !

A record rain. fall for this season of the year has fallen here tbe past two weeks, according to A. L Smith, government weather man. Not withla the recollection of some of the oldest set tlers has rain fallen so incessantly In April and May as it haa this year. Two Inches of rainfall has been registered the past twe weiks. , ' All crops are showing tbe effects. Wheat Is growing rapidly and luxuriantly. Wheat growers fear that when the rains cease and the hot weather sets In that the wheat be ing tender and full of moixture will not be able to stand the dry weather. 1 Alfalfa has grown rspidly. The first crop Is being harveated here, fully three weeks in advance of the first cutting last year. Tbe yield is heavy. In spite of the wet weather strawberries are ripening rapidly, three cars being shipped from here yesterday, besides manr in less than car lots. The berries being forced by excessive mois ture do not held up well for shipment. . How4 ever a good price Is being secured for the Kennewlck berry. Crops planted esrly have received the full benefit trom the rains and are making rapid' progress, while all fruits such ss cherrle, sprieots. peaches, pears, sp-t pies and berries are being greatly benefited. A record crop of weeds is also growing. j WALLA WALLA FRUIT CROP Walls Walls; Wash.," May 14. Home-grown strawberries are beginning to come- on the local market in earnest. They are a bit pale in color owing to tbe rains and dark weather of the past few days, bot tbe flavor Is good and a few days of bright weather will bring out tbe color and put an abundance of the fruit on the market. Despite the seemingly heavy rainfall of the past week the records at the local .weath. e.- bureau show a deftclem-y of .7 Inch for the first 13 days of the month. Fruit grow, era and farmer are much pleased over the weather, except in that section of the valley where some of the first cutting of ' alfalfa Is on the ground. Cherries are bexlnninr to turn pink and within a week, it is said, the early varieties will begin coming on the local market. The cherry crop will be an unusually good one this season, no i frost damage of any conse- quence having been done. POTATOES ALONG THE COAST Baa Francisco Karket.

SCARCITY OF FISH IS CAUSE OF SHARP E OF SAL Wholesale Price Advanced to lie Pound This Morning Ron at Oregon City and in ; Lower Co lumbia Very Disappointing. , Salmon ran Is now so limited at Colombia and Willamette river points that the wants of the iora! fresh fish trade are not being sup plied. Price of fresh sals:! advanced le to 11c ' a pound in tbe wholesale district this morning. Even at this price the requirements of the trade were more liberal than offerings. The run at Oregon City Is most disappoint ing and purchase by tbe trade there are al most toe limited to mention. The lower river Is scarcely getting sufficient fish to operate the canneries there. Fair supplies are being caught In the middle Columbia and. a some what better showing la indicated in reports irvm me upper coiumDia. - Canning interests say they have never ex perienced such a alack demand for snot fish. While most of them assert that their orders are either aa liberal as former years or with in a traction or tnem, an 01 tnem are lor fnture shipment, indicating that the eastern trade is by no means bare of fish. Shad canning has been started at Portland but not enough fieh have thus far been caurht to enable lower river interests to operate sue ceBsiuuy. uemana continues 1 goea tor the cauueu prouuet. 1 Standard Issues Are Lower Today; Market Is Nervous New Tork, May 14-(I. N. S. The stock msiket waa extremely nervous at tbe opening today. The majority of the standard securi ties were lower at tbe outset with the ex ception of several copper and industrial stocks which opened with a slight decline. Declines in the leading stocks ranged from a fraction to three roints. Tbe attitude of Germany toward tbe Amer ican note was awaited with great interest. Railroad 1. stocks' were' weak. Reading dropped to $1.41 early In the trading. It opened at $t.42-, closing last night at $1.43U. ATcnison sagged to 9sc In the first hour, .half under the ooenlncr nrice. Union Pacific ooened at $1 .23, j quarter under yesterday's close. Tbe issue sold down a point before noon. Southern Pacific sold off lc early. Copper shares appeared strong. Amalgam mated copper opened at 63 c, dropped slightly in the first hour and then came back to the opening figure. Utah Copper opened at 83c, a half point above last night's finish. Other coppers started with a slight advance. ! ; In the Industrial issues. Bethlehem - steel dropped 5 points before noon. The stock opened a point higher at $1.30, reacting later to $1.31. Weetinghouse fell to 86 c early after opening 2 points higher. American Can sold down to 32c United States Steel was weak, selling at 51c before noon, a decline of lKc under last night's closing figure. Liquidations assumed greater proportions in the afternoon trading. It seemed to be gen erally feared that the German reply may not be entirely In keeplnc with conservative hopes. Stocks broke sharply in the late boors of trading. The entire list scored a further de cline. Some short covering was in evidence. An attempt was made to bring about a rally near the close, but support was lacking. The market closed weak. Tbe General Electric company today de clares the regular Quarterly dividend of 2 per cent.
