UNSOLD WOOL CLIPS

Remain in Three States.

BUTTER Front-street stocks
smaller.
Estimates made by local wool dealers of
unsold stocks in this territory s'how that
about 2,000,000 pounds of wool remain In
erowera hands In Oregon. Washington and
Idaho. In the country around Shanlko
there are about 250,000 pounds, while stocks
in the vicinity of Baker City and the scat
tered lote elsewhere In the Eastern counties
will aggregate another 230,000 pounds. There
Is a good deal of wool in first hands at
EU-nsburg and in the Palouse country. The
Willamette Valley is practically cleaned up.
In the two states close to 1.000,000 pounds
Is still to be disposed, while an equal quan
tity Is held by farmers in Southern Idaho.
All this wool could have been sold early
In the season, but the growers considered
the prices offered too low and held for a
later market. The remnants are now being
disposed of slowly at prices from 1 to 2
cents under what was realized at the sealed
bid sales. Most of the Eastern buyers have
now left the field.
About 90 per cent of the 1906 clip of the
Western States has now been cleaned up,
either by sale or consignment. The last
large purchases reported from Montana were
made by Boston firms at advances of about
lc over previous ones, and the markets
there closed with greater strength than was
recorded at the opening of the season. Two
Middle Western buyers practically cleaned
up Wyoming at 2324c. At different col
lecting points in the territories clips have
been left In warehouse to be sold at certain
prices, that do not attract buyers.
The Boston Commercial Bulletin says of
Oregon wool sales in the Eastern market:
"The transactions of staple wool, amounting
to around 1,000.000 pounds, reported last
week, have left the market rather bare of
choice stock, although supplies are coming
in quite steadily from Oregon. In the ab
sence of any particular activity. Eastern No.
1 staple is quoted at 72 74c or 24c in the
grease. No. 1 clothing and valley are quiet
and unchanged."
In discussing the Improved tone of the
market, now that the bulk of the clip is
In second bands, the Bulletin says:
The statistical position of the wool mar
ket holds out gTeat encouragement to deal
ers, and makes them decidedly optimistic
in regard to the value of their holdings, de
spite the attitude of certain large operators
who are remaining comparatively inactive
In the expectation of breaking prices. It
must be remembered that the 11)03 clip is
almost wholly gone from dealers' hands,
and that, as a consequence, supplies of
domestic wool must be obtained from the
1006 clip. With less substitution practiced
In the manufacture of goods, it would like
ly be discovered that there would be an In
sufficient amount of wool for consumption.
As It Is now, merchants feel that the pros-perl-
of the country with an increasing
tiemarfd for clothing will provide a place
for ' every pound of wool grown. Leading
merchants say that If the Important con
sumers continue to keep out of the jnarket
the wools will still be held at unchanged
values, or sold to more willing buyers at
today's rates.
The trade. Indeed, holds a firm belief in
the intrinsic value of wool, and no lack of
determination to maintain it is shown.
COUNTRY PRODUCE FIRM.
Good Local and Hhlpplns; Demand for Eggs
and Poultry.
All kinds of country produce were in
good demand yesterday and firm prices were
quoted on the street. Receipts ' of eggs
were light and a steady outside demand
practically cleaned up what was left after
city orders were filled. '
Chickens moved well, both on local and
shipping account. Arrivals were only mo
derate and as buyers would not stand 'high
er prices, quotations were unchanged.
The Front street butter market Is in
better shape, as receipts are decreasing
Prices range from 22 to 25 cents on out
side brands. City creameries report an im
proved situation. The top quotation is still
26 cents, but a considerable quantity is
Roving at 25.
FLETCHER HOPS BRING 20 CENTS.
Long Dry Spell Is Dally Reducing Estimate
of Valley Output.
SALEM, Or., Aug. 22. (Special.) Laeh
rnund A Flncus. of this city, bought the J. W.
Fletcher hop crop at Dayton today at 20
cents. The crop amounts to about 85.000
pounds. This Is the only deal in hops re
ported here today and it Is evident that grow
ers who have not already sold are firm hold
ers. Reports from the yards continue to show
bad effect from the long spell of dry
weather and estimates1 of the Oregon crop are
being almost dally reduced.
YAKIMA HOrS SOLD.
Big Block Disposed of by the Fox Com
bination. The sale of a big block of Yakima hops
was the feature of the hop market yes
terday. AH the particulars of the trans
action were not learned by the Portland
trade, but the fact that the deal was con
summated was practically confirmed. The
sellers were the Hugh F. Fox combination
of Eastern dealers, who controlled some
thing over inoo bales of Yakima hops. The
quantity disposed of was about 700 bales,
and the purchase was understood to have
been made on account of a Salem firm.
The price was not known here, but was in
the neighborhood of 17 & cents. These hops
have been offered on the market for nearly
a week.
No sales of Oregon hops were reported
during the day. 'The market In this state
seems to be completely blocked. Buyers
are offering 18 and IStt cents for prime
contracts and would probably pay 20 cents
for choice, but there are no sellers among
the growers at such prices. Plenty of deal
ers' hops could be bought at this ' figure,
but the firms that have led the advance
draw the line between growers and dealers
la making purchases or offers. The Yakima J
transaction and the buying from A. J. Bay
A Son were the onlr exceptions.
A. J. Patterson, of Olequa, Wash., is in
the city looking for pickers. Mr. Patter
son says he was offered 22 cents for his
crop with f5000 down, but refused the offer.
He would not say who made the offer. His
hops have been famous for years for their
fine quality. The Cowlltx yards, he says,
are badly in need of rain. His crop ran
1900 pounds to the acre last year, and this
year will not produce over 1100 pounds to
the acre.
California Fruit Delayed.
No fresh California produce arrived on
Front street yesterday, as the express train
was 'delayed. s There was a considerable
supply of peaches and grapes on board,
which will be on sale this morning. Re
ceipts of peaches from The Dalles and
river points was fairly large. Oregon can
taloupes are coming in freely from up the
Columbia and are selling at 75 cents, to
$1.23 per crate. Business In the trult and
vegetable line was very brisk. f
Wheat Market Easy.
The drop in the Eastern wheat markets
yesterday took away what little strength
there was In the local market. Exporters
continue to be out of the running, as the
prices paid by millers are still above the
foreign basis. The volume of business Is
gradually increasing as the harvest draws
to a close, but farmers are by no means
free sellers.

SANER AND- SAFER
Normal Conditions Restored in
Stock Market.
MONEY CONDITIONS CHANGE
Speculators Begin to Take Heed of
Impending Financial Require
ments Movement in the
Hill Issues.
NEW YORK, Aug. 22. More nearly normal
conditions prevailed in the stock market to
day. The frenzy of the four days following
the ao-called Harrlman episode gave place to
a saner and safer course. Trading was only
moderately large, compared with the previous
days of the week, and the trend of events
seemed working toward a more logical con
clusion. It was evident that the element to which
responsibility attaches for the recent move
ment had begun to take heed of Impending
financial conditions. Indeed, the day's devel
opments in that quarter were highly interest
ing and called, for serious consideration. Not
only did call money advance to 7 per cent.
the highest figure in several months, but there
wks also a decided stiffening in time loans, 6
per cent being demanded for practically all
periods. - With the present weak bank posi
tion, the surplus of the associated institutions
at its lowest for this particular period in 13
years, and enormous crop demands approach
ing, it was quits natural that money eonrh
tlons should undergo a marked change. There
were persistent reporta of early1 gold Imports
and the further weakness in exchange ,. lent
plausibility to these stories, but experts fig
ured that none would be obtainable before
the coming week, if then. '
The early feature was the movement in
the Hill stocks, which carried Great Northern
preferred to the highest level reached in the
present movement. Northern Pacific partici
pated in this movement, and the threadbare
story of the "ore deal,'' with resultant
"rights" to holders of the Hill issues, wae
revamped with more or less wealth of circum
stantial detail. As a matter of fact, the
financial community is of the opinion that the
negotiations between the Hill interests and
the United States Steel Corporation for con
trol of these ore properties have been prac
tically closed. That some very material ben
efits will accrue to holders of the Hill secur
ities is also believed, but signs do not point
to an early announcement of this very im
portant matter. . .
The irregularity which characterized the
opening of the local market was doubtless a
reflection of conditions In London which sold
American securities, later takmg the same at
titude In this market. Trustworthy reports
agree that that center has taken huge profits
in American stocks on the recent rise.
The Harrlman issues manifested a halting
tone at the opening, but later, moved up with
the remainder of the active list, keeping well
above the previous day's closing quotations.
They held rather better -than certain other
active Issues, whose, early gains were wiped
out in the beginning of the afternoon session
when the rate for call money advanced to the
highest. It m-as at this Juncture that room
traders took an aggressive attitude on the
bear side and offered stocks at marked con
cessions in the hope of catching stop orders.
This move was partly successful, but the
freedom with which these offerings was ab
sorbed soon brought substantial rallies.
After a brief period of dullness during which
Great Northern preferred, Northern Pacific
and Colorado Fuel lost the greater part of the
earlier gains, the market started a new move
under the leadership of United States Steel.
The common stock was taken in enormous
quantities, selling as high as 46, the high
est price reached in four years. The buying
wae reported to be of Impressive character
and was accompanied by rumors that this
stock will be placed on a 4 per cent basis, its
original status, at the next quarterly meeting.
The rise in steel brought out a lot of stock
and the price fell off.
The market underwent a complete reversal
in the last 20 minutes, a terrific drive by
shorts and the Weetem speculative coterie af
fecting prices throughout the list. Not only
were all the day's gains lost In this move
ment, but a number of material declines were
registered1, the market closing quiet. There
was a further loss by the banks to the sub
treasury, the drain now amounting to almost
$5,000,000.
Bonds were firm. Total sale, par value,
$2,285,000. United States bonda were un
changed on call.

Chicago Wheat Market Weak
ens on Heavy Selling.
CLOSES HALF CENT LOWER
Arrivals of Choice Grain From Ter
- rltory Where It Was Claimed the
Yield Was Unsatisfactory
Cause Liquidation.
CHICAGO. Aug. 22. The . wheat market
coened firm on a lively demand by shorts.
Firm cables and continued wet weather In the
Northwest were largely responsible for the
demand. Unfavorable reports concerning the
Spring-sown crop, both in this country and
in Canada, also encouraged buying. The dam
age to Spring wheat, it was claimed, was
mostly in North Dakota and Manitoba. The
initial firmness was well maintained until
about the middle of the session, when the
market began to weaken under free offerings
from local holders. As trading adanced offer
ings increased in volume. The selling was
started by a report from Minneapolis to the
effect that ten cars of new wheat had ar
rived there today. Seven of these. It was
said, graded No. 1 Northern. The excellent
quality of these arrivals was the chief factor
in bringing out the liberal offerings on the
local market. Inasmuch as the wheat came
from territory where It was claimed the yield
was unsatisfactory. Liquidation was in evi
dence throughout the remainder of the day,
and the tone of the market became quite heavy.
The close was weak. September opened 4o
higher at 714c. sold up to 71-g72c and then
declined to 70c, closing 4c net lower.
Firm cables, small local receipts and prac
tically no acceptances had a strengthening
effect on the corn market early in the day.
The break in wheat caused considerable profit
taking late In the session, which resulted In
an easy undertone. September opened c
higher at 484c sold up to 48c and then
declined to 4tc. The close was 4c lower at
48ic
Oats were quiet, but inclined to firmness. A
moderate advance early in the session was
later lost on profit-taking, the market clos
ing steady. September opened 4c higher at
3i c. sold off to 21c and closed down c at
251c. ;
Provisions were dull and easy. At the close,
September pork was off 5c, lard was down 24c
and ribs were 5c lower.
