Stocks He Because of the fact that the season ifor razor clams in "Washington closes June 1, and ijt the bulk of the local supplies 4Jr come from there, it is not likely 4)t "raEora" "will be available in Hit . the local market for some time, e- Supplies haVe been nominal for several -weeks. . s r There Is not likely to .be any material shipments from Clat- sop beach of this state because -ifr of the fight between canners for supplies. Canners are pay- ing more money for clams than r 4fc : the local, trade has been willing . to offer. If hffs tw;en many a year -since the entire market for country killed calves has been so extremely weak ' and depressed along Front street as at this time. , -While limited business in selected calves is still reported as high as loc a pound? business is ruling down as low as 5c a pound.. Some very good' veal sold along the street durlpg the last 24 hours at 6c a pound, an unheard of figure for similar quality during recent years. The market may safely be considered stag-, nant. Even the lew prices are not sufficient to force cleann:s along tbe street at thi time. Quite lloei-Kl stocks are being moved into stor age houses on that account. Retailers generally report their stocks of veal heavy, with no desire to take hold, even at extreme, low prices now in effect. The fact that Monday ia practically a holiday bus In Itself been a detriment to tbe buying of calves along the. street. s Market lor uresiwd hogs Is steady at 10 10sc a pound for best.

Or., May 28. That early cherries are crackinc from the excessive moisture, and that the apples and pears are sufferine from scab, because it has been - too wet for the growers to spray them during; the uast three weeks or more, was the statement oT C E. Stewart, Laue eonnty fruit inspector, who was in the city yesterday, after a trip through the fruit districts: . ' . "The Governor Wood and Kentish cherries are already cracking," said' the ispector, "and if the rain, continues, the other varieties will also crack. The late strawberries seem to be coining on with no damage, but tbe early crop has been somewhat injured. Tbe farmers can not spray their apples and pears, and, a a result, scb is forming," - Other fnuirmea state that brown rot is apt to form in the cherry and prune orchards if tbe moisture continues much longer. Frultiaen of this section are besinninK to worry over the outlook. There has been a total of about five inches ot rain in , Eugene so far this mouth. Berries Are Soft. Milton, Or., May 28. The strawberrv season Is. at its hei-gbt. Several liuudred crates are being shipped ' out dally. - The wet weather has made tbe fruit crop a difficult problem, the berries being soft, causing. tb to mould and making it difficult to ship long distances. Cherries. which are on the market now. will be a good crop. Royal Anne have been con tracted to the Karl Frujt company, of Califor nia, at 2 cents a pound, and. will be bleached here and shipped as Maraschinos. Fear Crop Loss. Centralla, May 28. -Berry growers "of this vicinity fear they may lose their entire crops, so far as shipping berries arc concerned! as the result of the recent heavy rains. fln addi tion to spoiling the berries, the rain has caused tbe cherries to crack and mould, and it is feared the entire crop will be lost.
