THE MORNING OREGONIAN, THURSDAY, JULY 9, 1903. 15 QUIET SEASON IS ON Jobbers Feel Effect of Mid summer Dullness, EXCEPT IN CREEK PRODUCE Hop Market Nervonsj With "Weaker Undertone Wool More Active find Steady Wheat Trade - Is Quiet. Cereals Wheat, quiet, steady; oats, and barley, dull, weak; flour, active, firm. Hops Dull, weak. Wool Active, steady. Farm Produce Butter, steady; egg, steady to firm; poultry, generally eteady. Green Produce Fruits, plentiful, act ive; Oregon vegetables in good supply. Groceries Rice, tea and canned goods, Arm; sugar and beans, steady; coffee, weak. Meats Veal, firm; others, steady. Provisions Unchanged. The season cf Midsummer dullness Is ap proaching and for the next two' months, most of the Jobbing lines will be quieter. In prod uce, however, there will be an Increase In business as the various products reach the marketable stage. On the whole, business up to date has been satisfactory. The past week saw few changes In any line. All the grain markets were dull. Hops wero also quiet and weak. A little more activity Is shown In wool. Staple groceries are as last quoted. WHEAT The country is almost bare of old Wheat, and not enough business was done in the past week to justify any changes, follow ing the fluctuations in Eastern markets. Thu export value of club wheat remains at about 72 cents, but millers are paying 3 or 4 cents above this figure. Nearly the same advance Is offered for bluestem for milling purposes. Some lew lots of Valley wheat were purchased by millers during the past few days at 78379 cents. Harvesting will be under way east of tho mountains this week. Some wheat has al ready been cut, two small lots having reached warehouses. Shippers have not altered their opinion that the crop will not exceed 75 per cent of last year. Crop conditions and the trade situation In Europe are thus reported by J. W. Rush, of London, In tho Northwestern Miller of the 1st Inst.: Very few hours of sunshine and plenty of rain during the -week have not been conducive to the English wheat crop, which Is decidedly backward and very variable In Us appear ance. A big crop Is now out of the question but a fair average may result if the weather now becomes and remains favorable. In France the weather has also been decid edly unfavorable for the wheat crop, being too cold and wet, and It Is reared that unless a change for the better comes soon Irrepar able injury may result, as the crop Is now going Into ear. The latest official report Is dated June 1. and was published yesterday. It Is less favor able than expiated, and the French markets. are firmer In coiisequence. It first of all shows that the area Is reduced to 16,400,000 acres, against 17,050,000 last year; and then It gives the condition of the crop as 71.3, against 77.2 last year; the symbol SO represents a good -condition and 00 fair, so that the state on June 1 was about midway between the two. Since June 1 there has undoubtedly been some deterioration. The result of this -official report is, however, that the crop prom ises a yield of only 37.500,000" quarters. Last year the official estimate of the crop was 43.000,000 quarters, but this Is commonly be lieved to have been too high, probably 41, 500.000 was nearer the mark. If the estimate of the present year's crop be & correct one It will have a very Important bearing upon next season's trade, because It means that Franca Will have to Import about 0,000,000 quarters. In the last seven years tho crops and Im ports of France have been as follows: Area, Yield. Net lmp'ts, acres. qrs. qrs. 1003 1C. 400,000 S7.500.000 1902 17.050.000 41,500.000 2,500.000 1901 10,050.000 38,750.000 1,050.000 1900 . 17.1G2.000 40.CM.000 775.000 1690 .....17.300,000 45,750,000 525.000 1898 17,400,000 45,500,000 815,001) 1697 1C.4C0.000 30.200.000 10,784,000 1890 17.1S0.O00 43,000.000 503,000 7 yrs. average.. 17,871,000 40.718,000 2,420,000 The average yearly consumption shown by this Is 43,138,000 quarters, and thero is little doubt that the present consumption Is 43,500, 000 quarters. ' Another official crop estimate of some Import 'Bnce has been published this week, viz., that of Hungary, which makes the probable yield 17,750,000 quarters, against 21,250,000 last year. From Roumanla the exports continue favor able, but they do not Indicate so large a crop as last year. In Russia the weather of late has greatly Improved, and It Is probable that the crop will not be so seriously deficient as seemed at one time probable. A good average crop may be the final result, which would be at least 10.000,000 quarters less than last year's ab- N normal crop. It must, however, be remem bered that Russia will carry Into the new sea son big stocks of old wheat, seeing that dut lng the present season her exports will not ex ceed 10,000.000 quarters, whereas her surplus was probably 2,000.000 quarters. Italy and Spain expect also to harvest smaller crops than last year, and consequently to re quire more foreign wheat. As a sort of summing up of the foregoing remarks on tho crops In the various Euro pean countries, I should estimate that the probable decrease In this year's production compared with last year's would be about as follows: , Million qrs. Russia xi France 4 Austro-Hungary' 4 Germany 2Vi Italy, Roumanla, Spain and U. K. 34 Total deficiency 24 Even with this reduction, however, the to tal European production would not be far be low an average, last year's crop In Europe having" bten abnormally large. Under these circumstances the trade Is dis posed to view tho future of wheat with somu confidence, although there are very few in clined to speculate, so the trade generally may be described as very quiet, but very steady, j. and waiting for some definite crop results. FLOUR. FEED. ETC. Quotations on flour have been unchanged during the week. The local demand hiVK rnntfmiMl RtAnilv nnr1 th. export outlook shows no material change. There Is considerable inquiry from Japan, also from China and South Africa, Up to the present time, slight differences between buyer and seller have prevented the placing of orders, but the.e will probably be overcome and bus iness will result. Mlllfecds are as last quoted. Oats aro dull and not quite so steady. The barley mar ket also presents Indications of weakness. HOPS The hop market Is dull with a ner vous undertone. Growers are offering more freely. jut buyers are holding back, awaiting developments. The trend of the market Is unmistakably downward. Bids which were out Tor hops at 19 cents a week ago have been withdrawn or lowered 1 or 2 cents. Both sides are closely watching the growing crop and more or less talk of vermin is heard. Estimates of the yield this year are 70.000 hales from the dealers' Standpoint. GO.OOO bales from the grow ers' point of view. Returns gathered by cor respondents of this paper Indicate a yield of about 65,000 bales. v WOOL Wool is steady with an Increase In the amount of business under way. Growers are beginning to sell more freely, evidently being satisfied .that prices offered by buyers aro all that the market will stand. In the tr&da It Is said that quotations' ruling In this market are still above & parity with values 'in Eastern markets. The American Wool and 'Cotton. .Reporter of the 2d Inst, says of the Eastern wool situ ation: The market has been decidedly more active the past week, due largely to the free selling of old Montana and Idaho wools, some sales of new Wyoming wools and quite liberal trans actions In domestic fleeces, notably wools of medium and quarter-blood grades. In the case of fleece wools, a substantial ad'ance In prices may be said to have been actually established, but in the case of the territorial wools, the clean cost at which the stock was moved cer tainly shows no advance over the figures pre viously ruling. Oregon wools In this market have shown practically no activity. Advices from Oregon, as we have already shown, "indicate that the new clip has moved with comparative slow ness, the buyers being unwilling to come up to. the Ideas of holders. , The Reporter quotes Oregon wools at East em 'seaboard markets as follows: Eastern staple, 1617c; Eastern Oregon choice clothing, 1415c; Eastern Oregon average, 13314c; East em Oregon heavy, 12013c; Valley Oregon, No. 5, lD20c; do No. 2, 10Q2Oc; do No. 8, 18019c; do lambs, lG17c. PRODUCE The local market is plentifully supplied with ail kinds of fruit now In sea son. Early tree fruits from California aro arriving in more or less satisfactory condition. A mixed car of pears, peaches and plums that came up .yesterday was partly unsalable. A car of lemons arrived one day earlier than ex pected and sold at a 60-cent advance. A mixed car of melons and" cantaloupes is due from Fresno at the end of the week. Oregon is supplying the vegetable market with all -ar2etIes except asparagus, .which comes under Ice; green com and pepperb. Stocks of all kinds -on - hand are adequate and quotations are generally steady. The -market for farm and dairy produce has been somewhat unsettled this week, but no material changes have been made In figures. The poultry supply was large, but the de mand was generally good. Hens and large Springs are wanted, but the sale for ducks and geese Is slow. Eggs are running about even in supply and demand. Twenty cents is the staplo price, but choice candled stock has been sold a cent higher. Butter Is steady and unchanged. Stocks are cleaning up bet ter than a week ago. GROCERIES. MEATS. ETC The list price of staple groceries has undergone no change In the week. The sugar market Is steady, rice Is firm and teas are tending upward.' Coffees generally are easy. Beans are quiet and un changed. Canned tomatoes and com are strong. A fair trade is being done In meats at gen erally steady quotations except on veal, which Is less plentiful and firmer. Provisions ate as last quoted. Washington Crop Report. The Washington weekly crop report says In part: In the western counties the precipitation, al though beneficial to most crops, was more than was needed, and damaged clover and grass by lodging " them, as well as delaying cutting. The long and heavy rains In -some localities caused cherries to crack badly, and much of the crop Is rotting on the trees. The effect on hops was unfavorable, causing Increase of vermin. Sunshine Is needed. Oats, potatoes, garden truck and root crops were much bene fited. A good oat crop seems assured, and po tatoes are In general bloom. In the bottom lands It Is now a trifle too wet. Next week haying will be general If the weather is favor able. The crop will be heavy, but much clover will be spoiled If not cut soon. In the eastern tier of "weather and copious showers have been very Denencmi to wneat. This Is the filling time for Winter wheat It Is filling well, and la now considered safe. Spring wheat has im proved even more than Winter wheat, and If favorable weather continues It will be beyorJ danger of injury by hot winds In about two to three weeks. Barley, although a short crop this year, looks well In the vicinity of Day ton, and also Starbuck. It Is now beginning to turn. In the- irrigated districts there is plenty of water. The alfalfa average, and a large, fruit -crop Is anticipated. Washington ITop Market Declining. TACOMA, July 8. The price of hops has dropped to 15 cents per pound, and only a few bales are wanted at that figure. The outlook for a crop throughout this state and the world Is very promising, and as new hops wilt be on the market Inside of a few weeks, the brew ers are not anxious to buy at any price. It Is said that there are still 17,000 bales of -last year's hops In the West, 4000 bales of which are In Washington. These could have 'been sold at 25 cents last Fall. PORTLAND MARKETS.

' Steel Skares Hammered Down Pre paratory to an. Upward Start Bonds Are Steady. NEW YORK, July 8. Trading on the Stock Exchange today was the lowest In three years, the total shares sold being but 175,785 shares. Professional traders made another unavailing attempt to awaken some degree of activity in the market. During the early market the rate of activity was equal to the expanded deal ings of the latter part of yesterday,- but the subsequent relapse was Into such a complete stagnation that the total dealings for the day dropped back to the lowest level for three years. In the light of this morning's developments, yesterday's last drive In United States Steel stocks seemed to have no other purpose than to have a better vantage ground for an up ward start. The statement of ' the corpora tion's earnings for the quarter Just passed, with Us decrease of over $1,200,000 from the corresponding quarter of last year, was no worse than haa been expected, and the slight Increase reported In June estimated earnings compared with June earnings of last year wm regarded as a favorable feature. The com mon and preferred stocks were lifted about a point on the strength of this showing. In the active railroad list. St. Paul and Missouri Pacific were the only stocks to gain as much as this. The further engagement of $1,500,000 gold for export and the early sharp "rally In the cotton market seemed to have no effect In checking the rise in stocks. It was after cotton had reacted that the unrespon siveness of the stock market to the stimulation of light professional buying was perceived. Prices thereupon sagged off and tne whoo market fell back Into the rut of stagnation. The rally In the cotton market is regarded as & natural Incident of the process of returning to a normal basis In that market, but until the settlement is completed, the expected ben efits to the financial and general budness structure are not likely to become evident. The favorable crop weather was offset by the expressive firmness In the wheat market and the profit-taking reaction In com did not entirely relieve the fear that the Government crop report due on Friday will make an un promising showing for that crop. Further weakness In International Mercantile Marine on the curb helped to disturb sentiment. There was also a further slump In Standard Rope and Twine Issues, but a pretty effectual recovery followed. It Is significant of tho prevailing dullness of business that many stock brokerage bouses are largely reducing their clerical forces. Active railroad bonds were preity steady, but high-grade active Issues are settling to a lower price basU. The New York Central mortgage 3Hs, which sold last week as low as par for the first time In their history, sold today at 7 Total sales, $1,115,000. United States bond were all unchanged on the las call. STOCKS. Atchison do preferred Baltimore & Ohio ..... do preferred Canadian Pacific Central of New Jersey. Chesapeake St Ohio.... Chicago Sc.

The Idaho weekly crop report says In part: Cool weather has been rather a benefit to small grain, and In northern counties, as well as In other sections where water has been available, the crop Is In excellent condition; much of the "dry farm" grain in southern and eastern counties Is suffering from drouth, though In a few localities It Is still In good condition. Grasshoppers and squirrels are active In localities of Blaine. Cassia and Bear Lake Counties, but have not caused serious damage elsewhere. In the southwestern valleys, most of the first crop alfalfa Is in the stack, and clover Is being stacked; haying Is In progress in ail save the most elevated sections, with generally gratifying results; lower ranges continue to suffer from drouth, and In some southern lo calities stock Is not doing well; there Is an abundance of grass on higher ranges, and stock on these ranges Is in excellent condition. Early potatoes are yielding well; later pota toes are making good growth; growth of gar den vegetables had been somewhat retarded by cool weather, but otherwise they are In thriving condition. Sugar beets are making good growth, promising well for this new In d us try. Wool Markets. LONDON, July 8. The offerings at the wool auclton sales today numbered 11,000 boles.
