CANNED SALMON Eastern market tronger. There have been rumors in the hop market tn the past two days of 18-cent offers and of sales at that price. There Is no doubt that 18 cents has been offered for hops, but it any contracts have been closed, the news cannot be confirmed here. It was said that Lachmund A Flncus, of Salem, had bought a lot at 18, but no one could give the name of the grower. Henry J. Miller, of Aurora, wm reported to be offering 18 and 20 cents at Aurora and ButteviHe, but had not done any actual business at that figure at la-st accounts. Inaac Flncus & Sons, of Tacoma, who were buyers at last week'a prices, are out of the market now. S. and F. Uhlmann, according to M. H. Gllbertson, have bought no hopa In the Northwest for over a month. The E. Clemens Horst Company is also idle. At the offices of most of the local dealers It la said that no Eastern orders have been received this week. That Is the situation as It aopears here. In the country, however, the growers still have faith In the market and are warranted In their belief by the news that Is going through the hop sections. The latest develop ment up the valley are shown in the follow ing dispatch received from Salem last night: "That 20 cents a pound has been paid on contracts for 20,000 pounds of 1906 hops at Voodburn Is asserted by a man who says he signed as a witness to the contract. Henry Miller, of Aurora, is the reputed buyer, but the, report lacks confirmation. Lachmund 4 rincus have orders for any quantity up to 1MX bales at 18 cents and are offering that price today to growers. This price Is, of course, for choice hops. The offer has been made to a number of growers, but no pur chases made. It Is reliably reported that 18 cents was offered at Dallas today." The uual amount of bull talk Is being In dulged In here and the optimists cite as proof of their arguments the steady advance from the 13-cent mark that has taken place In the past three weeks. This hopefulness of feoling is not universal among dealers, bowever. M. XI. Gllbertson, a veteran in the trade, has not allowed himself to be carried away by the excitement yet", and he ays he la not going to be. "All this talk of coming big prices, he aid yesterday, "is hot air. There Is nothing In the situation to warrant It and the market h not safe at the prices that aria being paid. William Uhlmann, of our firm, who has Just returned from Europe, says the crops of Eng land and the continent have Improved. Simon Uhlmann made a tour through New York state and the crop there surpassed his expectations. I am satisfied there is not going, to lae any foreign shortage this year. There is no reason whatever for this bull campaign and It is only misleading the farmers Into holding. They are expecting now to see hops go to 25 or SO cents. As conditions are at present, I do rot believe their hopes wilt be realized. Of course, anything may happen between now and picking time, but as things stand now there is no warrant for the boosting that Is being done." Mr. Gllbertson says the Oregon crop has Improved wonderfully In the past three or four days. ' "The rain of Sunday," he said, "did not amount to much, so far as moisture is con cerned, but it cooled the atmosphere and the good effect on the vines could be noticed at once." Mr. Gllbertson says the Oregon crop will not fall under 120.000 bales. NEW BARLEY RECEIVED. Dealers Offer $21, but Growers - Are Strong, A few shipments of new-crop barley have been received in this city. Farmers are not offering very freely yet, being busy' at home. Dealers are offering on the basis of $21 Fort land, but growers are very firm la their Ideas. The oats market Is rather weak, with not much business doing In old or new crop. There Is a good demand for hay, and a eteady tone to the market. There Is plenty of hay in the country, but the trade Just now is confronted by a lack of cars. No. 1 Valley timothy is quotable at $11(5)12.50. and Eastern Oregon timothy at $16. Considerable inquiry U received as to the market value of vetch hay. Local dealers quote It at $73 7.60 a ton. Not much of this hay has been received here as yet, nor has there been much demand for it, and It may require some time to Introduce It among consumers. A McMInnville farmer, who raises vetch on a large .scale, says It is consumed readily not only by horses and cattle, but by hogs as well. The market for mill feed shows a firmer tone, owing to an Improvement in the de mand, which le expected to continue through out the coming Winter, EGGS ARE FIRMER. Offerings of Strictly Freeh Stock Are Lim ited Poultry Weak. The egg market Is gradually stiffening up. Receipts on the whole are lighter, and the offerings of strictly fresh stock are limited. Several fair shipping orders were received yesterday. The poultry market was slow, and the un dertone easy. Several of the city creameries followed the advance in butter yesterday, though some only got aa far as 25 cents. In some quarters Blocks are very low, while others are well supplied. The Front-street butter market was unchanged. MORE DEMAND FOR SALMON. Further Advance ' in Red Alaska In the Eastern Market. Trade advices from New York state that Hales covering fair-sized parcels of apot red Alaska salmon were made by the principal holders on the basis of $1.07) per dosen there. The demand was more active, and the tendency of the market at the close was to ward a higher basis. It was believed that little stock can be had in any quarter Under $1.05. and there are few sellers at that figure. It is stated that the business done since the movement began covered 10,000 cases, a part of which went to Chicago. r The increased interest and' firmness noted is due. It is said, to reports from the Coast of a considerable shortage, not only in the sockeye pack on Puget Sound and the Chi nook pack on the Columbia River, but to a shortage in Alaska packing centers. One advice states that the probabilities for open ing prices on red Alaska tails favor a basts of at least $1 per dozen f. o. b. Coast. Hold ers of the small stocks of red Alaska on the Coast quote nothing under $1 per dozen f. o. b. Car of Elbert a reaches. A car of fancy Elberta peaches reached Front street yesterday morning and met with a Btrong demand. A car of Exeter canta loupes, several cars of watermelons and a car of San Francisco cabbage also arrived. The steamer Roanoke brought up fair supply of small vegetables, egg plant, pep pers, peas, artichokes and radishes; also a quantity of Bartlett pears. Bank Clearing.

TRADING ON SMALL SCALE Rumors Have hxip Little Effect on Speculation After a Slump, the Prices Recover to the Best of the Day, r NEW YORK. Aug. 14. The market for securities was too dull today to warrant any thing but negative conclusions. There seemed to be a relinquishment of the vigorous sup port which has been evident throughout the recent rise in prices. Efforts to carry prices upwards were desisted from, and the market left to take care of Itself to a large extent. This was not without Its effect on the tone, which became Intensely dull and rather soggy. The speculation showed the want of . the cus tomary stimulant, which has been adminis tered at short -Intervals, sometimes by an actual new occurrence, and when this was lacking, by diligent rumors of expected de velopments which proved even more effective than the actual occurrences. There was a disposition to await the outcome of some of these rumors. Assertions have grown very positive that this week's meetings of the authorities of the Harriman Pacifies will take definite action towards the placing of Southern Pacific on the dividend list, and for the increase of the Union Pacific dividend. Expectation is al most equally well defined of an announcement of St. Paul rights this week. The expecta tions have been so often disappointed In the past that a spirit of caution and of some de gree of skepticism has grown up, and was reflected In today's operations in stocks. This spirit was fostered by the failure to act by the Canadian Pacific directors yesterday, on the supposed plan to distribute a bonus to stockholders as a 'result of the large sales of the company's land holdings. That stock was weak in consequence, in spite of the state ment showing extraordinarily favorable resuitc from the year's operations. The surplus earn ings after the paying of the dividend was $8,288,082, compared with $1,784,553. But holders of the stock apparently did not feel compensated by this showing from their dis appointment of the expected extra, disburse ments. A similar effect on sentiment was produced by the conservative tone in. the public utter ances of James J. Hill, of the Great North ern. There was comment also upon a tone of seeming levity in the quoted references by that gentleman to the persistent rumors of the ore lands deal. It is to be said of the market, however, that. In spite of the withdrawal of active efforts toward lifting prices, there was little evidence of damaging pressure to sell. The supporting orders were offered upon an early decline, .and when these were made effective, the market practically became a drifting match, with the trading almost completely Idle at times. Yesterday's reports of gold engagements were the subject of some confusion, owing to the failure to Identify the Institutions in New York which had made the engagement. For eign exchange authorities professed to see only a loss In the reported engagement under yes terday's condition. Foreign exchange ad vanced today, and a hardening effect on for eign markets resulting from New York's de mand for gold was in continued evidence. Sterling exchange at Paris, however, advanced again, and reports from that center were to the effect that loans were being secured there for New York account. This would Indicate that apprehension in Paris over the Russian outlook had so far subsided as to permit a relaxation of the hold upon money resources. The weekly bulletin of the Weather Bureau confirmed the feeling of confidence over the maintenance of the Improvement of conditions of the crop reported In the Government month ly statement. The special strength of some of the Winter wheat and corn carriers was attributed to the higher crop conditions. The report of the executive committee of the Con solidate'd Gas Company to maintain the pres ent dividend rate, although It would seem to relieve a fear which caused recent weakness in that stock, was greeted by a decline. The call money market was little changed, but asking rates for time loans for 80 and 90 days were raised to fl per cent, and for five and six months to 8 per cent. Prices went to the lowest in the last hour, and then re covered to the best of the day, closing firm. Bonds were irregular. Total sales, par value, $1,325,000. United States bonds were all unchanged on call. CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS. ' Closing Sales. High. Low. Bid. Adams Express - 2(iO Amalg. Copper 4S.4O0 104 lOKVi 10J Am.
