The Markets


Authorities claim there is about 70
per cent of the woo! clip of the state
sold. Eastern Oregon, the far eastern
part, is cleaned out and attention is
now turned to central Oregon. AT
Shaniko it is estimated there are about
100000 pounds to be sold, and this
will be offered June 4. At Madras
one lot of 10000 pounds was gold re
Gently at Is cents, and there is in the
John Day country and around Heppner
probably 100000 pounds.
The spot demand for wheat is light
and no contracts for the coming crop
are reported. Owing to favorable crop
reports, the market is inclined to be
bearish and prices shaded off a trifle
in Liverpool yesterday. Few hop con-
tracts are reported, but there are Of
fers at II cents, and these growers are
not disposed to accept. Hop men who
have examined the yards say the crop
is decidedly spotted. Reports from
California are to the effect that con
ditions are far from the best, and the
size of the crop is still an unknown
quantity.
The strawberry market Is good and
supplies are taken as fast as received.
The rain has doubled the crop, pre-
venting the snrivelirg of berries and
also delaying their ripening. Without
the rain there would have been very
short season aud berries of poor quail
ity.
Country produce receipts were light
Eggs remain at 81 to % cents, and
poultry is in demand with fairly good
supply. Broilers were in demand at
16 to II cents, but the smaller sizes
were passed by and only taken when
they alone remained.

"Within the last few years hundreds
