Merchandise Salt higher, beans low er, turpentine higher, tobacco higher, nails lower. In the past six days Portland has seen an other week of exceptionally good business. In all lines there are the same signs of prosperity. The wheat movement Is in full swing, and other grains are not only changing hands In large quantities, but are moving freely by land and water. The trade In fresh fruits Is at Its height, and enormous stocks are being carried by local dealers. Green produce and the output of farms and dairies Is In good demand, and receipts are cleaned up promptly on their ar rival. The staple grocery trade, both In the city and the country. Is heavy, and a very good business Is being done in fresh and smoked meats. The hop market gives promise of being lively .as soon as it has fully opened. One of the features of trade Is the firmness of barley. The California crop, which was estimated at about 600,000 tons, will yield not over 425,000 tons, and the Northwest is being drawn upon to supply In part this deficiency. "WHEAT "With a good business doing, the Portland wheat' market yesterday was fairly otrong at 61062c for club, and 6464c for bluestem. Valley was. quotable at 623G3c All kinds of prices are being paid at the competi tive points east of the mountains, and the . effect is to unsettle the situation here. Cables coming through showed little change in Liver pool yesterday. Chicago closed from Uc lower. In the week Just closed an Immense business has been handled by Portland shippers. The wheat and crop situation abroad is thus reviewed in a letter to the Commercial West from London, under date of September 1; The markets have, of course, been greatly ruled "by the weather, and whilst they were firm at the early part of the week, they have become quieter with dry weather, and with the deelin in the American ODtlon markets. How ever, there Is no pressure to sell, although occasionally a holder could be found wno would . he ready to' meet buyers to some extent. This Is especially noticeable from the Danube, where a few cargoes of wheat, guaranteed to weigh 64C5 pounds per bushel, have been offered for prompt shipment; still, the prices asked are above buyers' ideas, and it remains to be seen -whether the Danube means to come out as a fxct seller presently. Russlacontjnues to be re served, and it is still Impossible to get large quantities from there at anything like reason able prices, their chief buyer still being the Mediterranean, and there Is not likely to be any pressure from that exporting country un less and until thearrlvals, at the seaboard from the interior increase considerably. Australia reports peneficlal rains, and the crop prospects there have decidedly improved, but they do not expect an abundant crop, even If everything continues favorable until harvest, and our chief supplies of white -wheat will have to come from California and Oregon, and In both states, especially in California, crops are not as big as they have been last year. In France and Germany weather similar to that which we experienced prevailed, and markets also there have been quieter these last few days. The Bureau of Statistics of the Department of Agriculture makes the following crop esti mate of Spring and "Winter wheat: September, 1902. Harvest 1901. Bushels 010,611.000 743.460.218 Acres 44,247.000 49.895,014 Comparative conditions of the wheat crop in September for a series of years is given as follows: 1902 80.21899 -...70.0 1901 82.8 1900 CO.oj Ten-year average.78.9 According to returns to the American Agri culturist, threshing results show some re markable figures, especially In Ohio, Nebraska, Missouri and Illinois. In many of these states the rate of yield surpasses all record. The estimate In New York is 17 bushels per acre; Pennsylvania, 15Vfc Taushels; Ohlond Michigan, 17 bushels; Indiana, 16 bushels; Illinois, 19V5 bushels; Nebraska, 22 bushels; Califor nia, 14 bushels: Oregon, 23 bushels, and Washington, 26 bushels. The figures on.the Argentine visible supply follow: Wheat ....1,040.000 1,040.000 Unchanged. Corn. 2.4S2.000 2,575-, 000 This week Last week 03,500 Decrease. A cable from London says recent storms have lerlously damaged the wheat crop of, England, ind that the season's harvest Is expected to prove one of thevworst in the last 20 years. FLOUR The Portland flour market Is firm at unchanged prices. Considerable "Valley -wheat Is passing Into millers' hands. The foreign flour trade is thus summarized by Beerbohm's Corn Trade List of August 29: The past week's imports of flour were 146.340 sacks, against 127,000 sacks last week, and 14C.1G0 sacks last year, making the total since August 1. 360,690 sacks, against S06.880 sacks fame time last year. The shipments In the past two weeks from the Atlantic ports were: For London 62,000 sacks; for Liverpool, 29,000 tacks; and for Glasgow, 64,000 sacks. The flour trade has ruled very quiet generally this week, but prices have been .fairly main tained in all the chief centers. In London there Is no pressure of supplies of American flour, of which the shipments remain moderate: the best Spring patents, ex-store, vary from 24s Cd to 25s. and second patents from 223 ou to 23s, whilst town-made whites, or patents, sell at 26s delivered, and households at 23s. French flour continues to make very little Impression In London, and country millers have not had sufficient supplies of new wheat to affect their flour prices. Liverpool reports a steady mar ket, whilst Glasgow is, weak for American flour on the spot, which is in good supply. In Hungary, although the wheat crop is a record one. flour prices are slow to give way. although it Is becoming evident that an export of any importance will only be possible, as far as the United Kingdom la concerned, at much lower prices, the value of best patents on the spot in London being up to 32s, ex-store. HOPS The hop market is in & waiting atti tude. The trade has not yet opened, and prices are quoted nominally at from 20322c. The Oregon hop crop Is estimated at 85,000 bales, and the quality is above the average. Picking Is drawing to a close. In the Lei r.. Washington, yards picking is general. The crop there is bright and clean, bui not quite ud to the average in quantity. Washington expects a yield of 35,000 bales. Experts estimate the damage done to the Kentish hopgrowers by rain and hall on Sep- ! temoer 12 at fully 5500.000. The yield of the English crop Is now placed at about 830,000 hundredweights. Cable advices received from I Germany continued to report Arm markets. Es- Itlmates as to the yield of the total Continental crop were' decidedly at variance, ranging from 75,000 hundredweight to 250.000 hundred weights Increase over last year. Latest quo tations received from Nuremburg. Germany, range from equal to 1218c according to qual ity. Of conditions in New Torit State, the Coop erstown Freeman's Journal of September 11 says l The estimate that wo gave last week of one fourth to one-third the crop of last year when the yield -was below the average is .adhered to. As a rule, the -quality is not up to the average. The Otsego Republican of September 10 says: Hoppicking is' nearly over. It has been a short, .disappointing season. Everywhere the crop has come down much lighter than ex pected. This state will certainly not pick a quarter of last year's crop. Pacific Coast hops are quotable in the New York market as follows: Choice, 1001, per pound, 2526Hc; prime, 23924c; poor to me dium, 2022c; 1000 crop, 19320c; olds, 812c WOOL This is the close of the wool season, and nothing Is doing tyn. Valley wools are quotable at 12lSc, and Eastern Oregon, 8- .14c. Mohair is worth from 20S23c "Oregon wools have been steady -in price." says the American Wool and Coton Reporter, of Boston, of September 11, "but the few con sumers who use roost of these wools have done hut little in them Clothing Oregon has con tinued to sell at 48350c, clean, and it Is diffi cult to get more than this except for a pretty fln or a good staple wool. There Is still very little doing in Valley wools, quotations for which are nominal and unchanged." The Re porter quotes the following prices on Oregon wools: Eastern staple, 10017c; Eastern Oregon choice clothing, 14315c; do average, 13314c; do heavy. ll12c; Valley Oregon, No. 1, 19 20c; do No. 2, 19320c; do No. 3. 18310c; do lambs, 1617c. FRUIT AND VEGETABLES A big supply, a good demand and prices usually maintained tells the story of the week in the fresh fruit trade. Remarkably few changes in quotations havo been reported. California is still supply ing us with watermelons- and peaches, and grapes are coming In fairly well. Onions are arriving from Eastern Washington, and they bring good prices. Fruit crop news Is generally favorable. Prunes, plums, pears and apples, according to last received reports, are maturing nicely, .except in portions of the Valley,, where complaints are made of the fruit dropping. In Northern California, the fruit crop is the largest ever grown there, particularly In Te hama County. The cranbery crop of the United States. It is estimated, will be 88.000 barrels short, compared with last year. The yield this year, it Is figured, will total 297.000 barrels. Against 355,000 barrels in 1901. The principal decrease Is in Massachusetts and New Jersey. FARM AND DAIRY PRODUCTS The fea ture In this line during the week has been the steady advance In eggs. Under a scarcity, prices have slowly climbed up until Jobbers are quoting 25a for strictly fresh. Cold-storage eggs are selling from 2j?2c below this mark. The first three days of the week have noUseen much poultry on the market, but fuller receipts are expected during the remainder of the week. The butter market Is in a peculiar condition. Prices are "quoted stiff, and Eastern is on the way here, but from all that can be learned, no scarcity exists. Said a Front-street dealer? "The trouble with the market Is this: Where a Jobber handles- the output of say only one or two creameries and has regular customers for all he can-get, he Js in apposition to make his own prices. If he goes above the market, as ho is often inclined to do, of course the rest of us are compelled to follow him. In that way the market Is gtven a false buoyancy, and, as In the present case, outsiders step in. There is no occasion for bringing Nebraska but ter to Oregon at this time or year,' and it does an Injustice, both to the trade here and to the producer and -the consumer as well." The aforesaid Eastern butter, others state. Is tho product of the creameries of the Elgin com pany, which was lately reported to be In finan cial difficulties, and, having a large stock on hand, the reorganlxerS of the concern are ship ping it to distant markets to take a load off their own shoulders. GROCERIES, MEATS. ETC. A number of changes occurred in tho .staple grocery list dur ing the week, chief of which was the advance of fl per ton in rock, salt and hau ground. Beans are a trifle lower. Turpentine has gono up 3c Certain 41ncs of -tobacco have advanced, and nails have gone up 10c per keg. .In meats a -very fair business is reported. Stocks are more plentiful, and prices are firm.

LIQUIDATION IS CHECKED NEW YORK MONEY MARKET RE LIEVED BY GOLD ENGAGEMENTS. Over Seven and a Half Millions List, ed for Import Stocks Re cover Slightly. NEW YORK. Sept 17. Speculative sentiment was further improved in Wall street today, and prices of stocks enjoyed an additional recovery. The relief of the acute uneasiness over tho money sltuatlosr by the large engagements of gold for Import checked the liquidation In tho stock market and made it easier to mark up prices, again. The volume of the actual buy ing demand was light, however, and the num ber of shares dealt In was no larger than yes terday. The movement hltherward of some $7,650,000 in gold from varioiis quarters gives some feeling of assurance- that relief will be at hand when the coming of additional requirements of cur rency by the interior will make It urgently needed. The nervous feeling early In the week was as much due to fear of this future con tingency as to the then present exigency for money. The receipt of gold, which has been started toward this center, will be In occasional parcels during the next three or four weeks. Over $400,000 of the Australian receipts which arrived In San Francisco were made immediate ly available to the local market by telegraphlo transfer through the Subtreasury today. The $1,000,000 which started from England today will be available at the end of the transat lantic voyage. Of the remainder, there will be one parcel of $500,000 which Is not due to arrive In San Francisco until October 10. It will be seen, therefore, that there Is no actual present relief from the present process of depletion pf New York bank reserves. The anticipatory payment" of Government Interest does not keep pace with the transfers of cur rency to the interior through the Subtreasury, which again today amounted to over $300,000, of which about two-thirds went to New Orleans and the remainder to Chicago. The require ments of the large customs payments roentlme continue to drain funds from the New York banks into the Subtreasury, the balance of re ceipts by that institution at the expense of the market having amounted already since last Friday to $1,631,000. The comparative quiet In the money market, therefore, is due rather to .actual present relief rather than to a sentiment of greater assurance for the future. Call money touched 10 per cent only momentarily this morning, and ruled generally below that. There was a notabl&re bound In the foreign exchange rate, for demand and 60 days, which recovered to 14 above the level at which the gold imports were arranged. This corroborates the opinion that the gold im port point was slightly forced by those en gagements. Quite a number of prominent stocks, both among railroads and specialties, were from 1 to 2 points over last night at one time today, but the prices Were not held. Tho market closed about steady. Tho bond market was firm. Total sales, par value, $2,708,000. United States 3e, registered, advanced H. the coupons H. and the olds per cent on the last call. CIosIbk Stock Quotations.

"In the mind of the market," says the Dally Chronicle, this morn ing, "preoccupation with regard to the gold expqrt question and exaggerated reports of large withdrawals from ths Bank of England for shipment to New York were utilized on the Stock Exchange to depress the markets." The Standard sayar "Recent arrivals of gold from South Africa and other quarters, amounting to about $1,850, 000, were today definitely engaged for shipment to New York. Yesterday there was somo doubt whether this gold would go to New York or Vienna, but the fall in New York exchange Just permitted' the operation to be carried through at a profit." - Payment on Australian Gold. NEW YORK, Sept. 17. The Subtreasury has been directed to pay to Goldman, Sachs & Co., 90 per cent of the amount of the gold consigned to"thetn. from Australia, and now at the mint at San" Francisco.

Wanted n Jury Trial, but Changed Their Minds. The unexpected happened yesterday at the Municipal Court, when three colored men, Frank Williams, J. Moore and B. Keene, charged with gambling In a club house on Flanders street, entered a plea of guilty, they having previously asked for a Jury trial. A fourth man, Benjamin Chandler, was arrested with them, but evidence' was presented that Chandler,, who la the proprietor of the club, walked Into the place while the raid was In progress, and he was discharged. Police Sergeant Church stated that the clubhouse was known as an orderly place, and on the night of the raid WIUiamB, Moore and Keene were playing blackjack for money. "Then It fcm't a public gambling place? No one In Hhe house gets a rake-off?" queried Municipal Judge Hogue. "Not so far as I am aware," replied Church. The defendants attorney then asked that the court order that $9, taken from the defendants at the time of the arrest, be restored to them. "The money is In possession of the Chief of Police. You will have to see him about that," answered the Judge. "Surely Your Honor does not think that the $9 Is part of the gambling Imple ments," hinted the lawyer. "I am not passing on that phase of the case." returned theJudge cautiously. "How .about the $6 for Jury fees? The members of the Jury were called. They have appeared In court,' was next re marked. "Tho Jury Is not complete until It Is sworn In," replied Deputy City Attorney Fitzgerald. The case was continued, for sentence. ON TO WASHINGTON.

Rain In the Northwest, with much cooler weather predicted, was tho cause of a higher openmy in wheat. Cables also were construed bulllshly. The fact that the receipts Northwest were much increased over last week and a year ago was offset "by the expectation that in consequence of the rains the Spring movement once more could be cur tailed. Cables advanced a little as the session moved on, and the export business was good, both Duluth and New York reporting 20 loads taken, and Buffalo. 100,000 bushels. The fact that the outsider was not in the market worked against good gains. Much of the time the pit was almost deserted. Price fluctuations were extremely narrow, and llttre business was done. After the first hour. Interest died out. Sep. temper wheat closed easy, c off. at 72c December sold from 69360c. dipped to 68c, an closed steady. c iy, at 69c. There was but one broad market today, and that was in corn. Frost talk was the principal bullish Incentive. Many speculators believe that with the end of this month tho drastic effect of last year's big crop shortage will have disappeared. That was one of the reasons for selling on hard spots. Many other traders, how ever, have been figuring on the big shortage now out. especially In December options said to be 15.000.000 bushels. It Is known that cribs along the country railroads are almost empty, and have been for nearly a year. Where there were 12.450,000 bushels In the visible sup ply a year ago, there are but 2.000.000 bushels now. Chicago has practically the only corn supply, and it amounts to about 1.5C0.0C0 bush els. Farmers are inclined to hold much of their best corn. Much of the receipts for some time to come are expected to be soft, December closed firm. c up. at 43344c September closed firm. c higher, at 58c. Oats ruled steady and showed no important changes in prices. December fluctuated only C and closed steady, c up, at 31c There was good activity In the provision pit. Hogs were lower, having fallen off 30c In two days. This Induced some outside liquidation, but a good support was under tho market until late in the day. There was a raid In October pork, and prices in that product fell off. Part of this action is thought to havo been for the purpose of bringing near-by and distant options nearer together. At the closo January pork was 5c higher, while October closed 50c off: October lard closed 5c down, and January lard 235c higher. October ribs were 20c lower, and January ribs 2c higher.
