Razor Clams. Out
Of Mart; Canners
Fight for. 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.

EARLY CHERRIES CRACK
Eugene. 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.

BOSTON COPPER QUOTATIONS
The government bas formally awarded the
contract on oats for shipment to. the Hawaiian
islands to tbe Northern Grain & Warehouse
company, of this city, in competition with
Puget sound. - Not only did the government
recognize he lower price of . the Portland
firm., but it took action, too, on the better
quality of the product "of this section. Tbe
contract calls fur the delivery of 1250 tone of
oats. - -i '
With ship owners novrasking 80" shillings
for charters of sailing vessels for the coming
season's crop, the local trade is feeling rather
blue regarding the'future. The last high rec
ord waa 77s Od, which was recently paid for a
sailer by a local exporter.
- The huge price asked for freights Is causing
general stagnation in the local grain trade.

for a time It was believed another
Lusltania catastrophe .. If ad occurred.
Later, however, reports arrived from
St. Nazaire, -whic'n stated that 'the
big ship had gone ashore near that
port and that her passengers, about
900 in all, had been safely landed.
Officials of the French Transat
lantic line, owners of La Champagne,
asserted here today " that that vessel
Was not torpedoed. 'It was said the
vessel was aground near St. Nazaire
and that no alarm, need be felt for the
passeng-ers.
It was learned here that the pas
sengers of the Champagne were negro
troops from French Guinea bound for
the western battle front. This evening
it was thought the, liner was badly
damaged and It might be impossible
to get her off the shore.. .
Will String- Second Wire.
Orders have been received by 3. W,
Huis, general foreman of the Western
Union Telegraph company, stationed
at Kugene, to besrin the work of strlnci
, !ng the second wire on the line 'from
Kugene to Mapleton over the Willam-
-ne t-acirie right or way. The poles
and crossarmg are already up.
r This second wire is intended ulti
mately for the exclusive use of Marsh
field, as the business out of that city
ia enough to keeo one wir busv ail
i day long.
Ky the time the second wire Is com
pleted to Mapleton it -is probable that
the rails win have been laid on Wil
lamette Pacific as rar as the Acme

line below Mapleton will then start.
The grading throush, the rock quarry
and through the Point Terrace Mill
company's property is nearly com
