(By the Associated Press

New York, June 9.-The cotton mar
ket opened firm at a decline of 1 point
to an advance of points under frmel
cables and a continued scare of July
shorts. 1t was one the most nervous
and exciting openings of the season. On
the call July sold first at 11.S5, went
to 11.S6, 11.SS, then jumped to 11.92 and
sold at 1876 with later months more
active and no less excited. August solo

New Orleans again attracted attention
and orders began to come IN from tha'
centre. while the profit taking by long
had about run its course. Shorts began
to cover and by midday prices were net
to % points higher. At this level the
weekly report of the Weather Bureau
was read and the trading became the
widest OF the session and even more
excited than at any previous time thu
season Within ten minutes July wa,
rushed up to 12.14; Aug. to 1157 and
Sept. to 1886, the general list at this time
showing a gain OF IL to 80 points over
the sensational advances of yesterday
Throughout the entire afternoon there
was no material abatement of the
activity and excitement and while there
was an occasional but narrow recession,
the market continued its upward career,
until July sold at 1927; July 11.S1, Sept
1887 and Octo. go At this level the
market was net il to 81 points above
yesterdays closing and - to 101 above

New York. June 9-The excitement OF
yesterday was intensified today when July
shot over ~ cents q pound, and an adj
vance of about a cent in about three days.
August participated early in the day and
when the Bureau report came out at
noon pandemOnium rcigned. 1t seemed as
though no price was high enough to pay
for cotton, and a general Juror seized the
market The report was not as bad as
some of those issued a month ago, but
coming after the bad condition Of last
W eek and the generally nervous feeling in
all directions the effect was decided The
two important points IN the report were
that cotton is grassy and suffering from
Insects. 1t is seldom that big crop is
raised on a grassy condition in May The
weed needs TO be cleaned in order to
get a good start, and a grassy condition
is not conducive to a favorable chopplng
out and good stands in June The whole
situation is certainly unusual, and one IN
which it is very difficult to decide just
what to do There is no question that
October will sell very much higher than
this before October but 1t IS question
whether one can buy without being COM
PEELED to see some very stormy days before
them. Up to the present time there has
not been, to our minds, any imitation n
the cotton market But when the price
j., marked up 1hc a pound, because
a few foolish foolhardy gamblers have sold
short, and haven't the cotton to deliver,
the position is one of transportation and
imitation. AS we could not sec our way
clear to buy back the October sold over
91Ac., we would be very cautious about
any sort Of cotton obligation
in this market
CottoO futures today ranged as follows.

much obliged to the person who entered

he would return them some night, or

The person is known who did it and per.

ticles as no one likes to loan anything
and then have to go and get it.

Bic Land Sale at Chenoweth.

A $4,000 land sale will take place at
Chenoweth in couple of weeks. Emory
Oliver, chief engineer on the Lyle-Gold-
endale railroad holds bond on 1900
acres OF land which expires May 10.
The greater part Of this land was pur-
chased last summer from the Oregon
Lumber company by J. L. Henderson,
j. +. Short and j. d. Casey. 1t now
sells for five times what was paid for the
same. The mill timber has been re-
moved and the greater part of the 1000
acres is level as floor. The soil is ad-
mirably adapted to apple culture, and
the neighborhood is comparatively free
from Goblin moth. The purchasers, it
is reported, win Immediately put in an
irrlgating ditch. Water can be taken
from the Little White Salmon and put
onto tillable land at distance of 1900
feet from the river. The Portland cap
italists interested in the Lyle
Goldendale railroad are thought to be
behind this land purchase, and it is
said will expend vast sum of money
in putting the ground into cultivation.
When planted to apple trees this land
should soon be paying big dividends.

very pleasant family gathering Wednes-
day, April %, 1908, the occasion being
the sOth anniversary Of Mrs. E. W. Wi

Outlook for Strawberries is Good.

OutlOOh lOE OlthNDeTFleS ~ GO0us
The present outlook is good for a
profitable strawberry season. The
plants are growing vigorously and
blooming heavily, with enough cool
weather to keep them from developing
too rapidly.
The California crop is late and will
probably be in our way somewhat dur
ing the early part Of the season. The
effect the Missouri crop will have on our
markets is as yet uncertain, as the grow
ers in that section depend upon rain ,and
a few hot, dry days cuts their crop of
very short at times, while showers pro-
long their picking season. Some frosts
have occurred in that locality, but the
crop was not advanced sufficiently to
suffer much damage, and promises to be
much larger than for several years.
During the last week in April the
thermometer fell to 8 degrees below
freezing point in the berry district Of
Colorado and did much damage to the
plants as we'll as to the blossoms. The
crop there comes in during the latter
part of our shipping season, usually.
No carloads will go out from here until
about June l, which will give the ear.
lier sections time enough to get the larg.
er part OF their crop off before we want
to use their markets for heavy ship
ments
The irrigation water is turned on and
should be used generally and the ground
not allowed to dry out. There is more
danger of the crop being too early than
too late.
The Hood River Frnit Growers union
is mailing circulars to the farmers of the
valley urging the berry growers to be
more particular with the packing this
year. The circular says;
Careful, honest packing will be neces-
sary to insure good results. The essen
tials are:
NO CULLS in the boxes.
Have every box packed FULL.
Face the top of the box with not
more than five closely packed rows (25)
berries, and put none in the box small
er than this size.
Keep out ali soft, damaged and ill
shaped fruit.
Haul them in spring wagons (any
good make).
There is little demand for ordinary
fruit except for canning.
Fancy fruit is always wanted.
The perpetaation of the strawberry
business OF Hood River valley is in the
hands of the growers, and unless they
give us hearty cooperation in build ng
up high standard of excellence, they
cannot expect good prices.
