TIIE MORNING OBEGOXIAX, SATUKDAT, JULY 13, 1903. IS NEARLY ALL SOLO Only Million Pounds of Wool Left in Eastern Oregon. , GREEN TALKS OF SALES Growers Well Satisfied With Results, as Best Clips Brought More Than Anticipated Quality Not Up to Average. Charles H. Green, the widely-known wool buyer for Koshland & Co., of San Fran cisco and Boston, has returned to Portland from his annual Summer campaign in East ern Oregon. "The sheep men are well satisfied with the result of the season's trade." said Mr. Green yesterday. "On good wools they real ised one cent more than they anticipated. The low priced wools, however, those of heavy shrinkage, were slow sellers. Quite a few of this kind were left unsold "In Oregon and Washington about 14,000, 000 pounds were sold at prices ranging from 5 to J -84 cents. The average price was about 6 cents under last year's figure. The lower prices were marie necessary by the conditions of the wools this year. There was very heavy shrinkage due" to the open Winter and sand storms in March and April. "The clip of Eastern Oregon wu about U.OOO.OOO pounds and of Washington 3,000. OOO pound. Shipments out of Eastern Ore iron to date have been 8,300.000 pounds In the grease and 4,5-00.000 pounds were bought for scouring. One million pounds are left In growers' hands. The Eastern Oregon clip was a little larger than last year, a the sheep sheared a little heavier. "The woo! buying this season was more evenly divided among the Eastern buyers than formerly. The principal houses repre sented secured about 1,500,000 pounds each. "An association was formed, known as the Wool Buyers' Association, to encourage growers to put their wools up In better shape and to discriminate among those who do not. The object Is to educate the growers and they are giving us a lot of assistance." WASHINGTON HOP CROP 18 &MALI Harry Hart Bays it Will Not Exceed 17,000 Bales. H. l. Hart has reduced his estimate of the Washington hop crop. He has Just re turned from a trip through that state and ays the outlook Is not promising. "An outside figure on the crop," said Mr. Hart, "would be 17.000 hales and they will do well If they get 15,000. The yards all over the state are in bad shape, as the result of lack of cultivation, and plowed out yards are numerous. I think, for the United States as a whole, 220.000 bales would be a big estimate for this year's crop. "Ross Wood is just back from a trip through the Oregon hop districts and we have reduced our estimate for Oregon to 80,000 to 90.000 bales. The California crop promies 65,000 to 70,000 bales and New York 46,000 bales, about the same as last year." Selling crops at a loss has awakened the Josephine County' growers to the necessity of finding some other crop fof their lands. A dispatch from Grants Paen says: The hop crop of Rogue River Valley will be fully 50 per cent less than that of two years ago. The cause for this decrease Is that so many yards have been dug up and other yards are not being cultivated this season. Thoe that are being cared for are in fine condition, and the yield will be large nd the Quality first class. While hops produce well in Rogue River Valley, yet fpr the past ton years the hop ralwrs, by reason of low prices, have made far less money than have the alfalTa and f rult-groweiw. So completely discouraged are the hop-growers that it Is likely that within" two years the last yard In this valley will be plowed up and the land put to orchard or graes. The Department of Agriculture, in its bulletin on crop conditions up to July 1, placed the condition of the American hop crop at 83.8, aa compared! with S9.6 on July 1. 1007. There were no new developments in the local market yesterday. No transactions in IflOTs have been reported since the pur chase of the Flannagan ft Cornell lot by Ed C. Herren. There Is still talk of 10 cents being offered in the country for contracts. INQUIRY FOR OIJ CROP WHEAT Fpot Prices Are Advanced Nothing Doing In Futures. There ts some Inquiry for old wheat, and as but little Is to be had. buyers are offer ing better prices than were quoted recently. Club wheat was quoted at 8rt cents and bluestem at 88 cents yesterday, and It is probable an advance over these figures would be paid to effect purchases. The market for new wheat has not opened yet. Offers have been made in the country at 82 cents for club and S4 cents for blue stem without any effect on grower. At the Board of Trade the market was nominal and unohanjed at 81 cents lor both deliveries. September oats were 2 cents lower nnd Iecember unchanged. There waa an advance of 2H cents in September barley nd the later month was steady at $1.12. Receipts for the day were 3R55 sack wheat. JS cars oats. 8 cars barley, and 6 cars and 18 tona hay. The range of futures was as follows: WHEAT. Open. High. Low. Clo. Sept. .81 $ .81 Dec. 81 . .81 OATS. Ftpt $1 10 .... ,. fi.io Pec 1.15 ..... l.lj BARLEY. Fept $1.10 $1.10 -Dec 111 1.12 FRESH FRVIT IV LARGE SfprLY Front Street Well Storked With Nearly All Varieties. Front street was heavily stocked with nearly all varieties of fruit and vegetables yesterday, and trading was on a fair scale. Among the arrivals were 2 cars of bananas, one of cantaloupes and one of new Cali fornia potatoes. The demand for cantaloupes waa strong, and the best offerings were advanced to $2 2.V Apricots were in full supply and dragging, and it is probable the abundance of California fruit offering will bring down the price of the excellent Oregon apricots that are now coming in. Berries of all kinds were quoted firm. There Is a tem porary scarcity of lemons. A straight car of California plums Is due Monday. New Gravenstsln apple will also be In on that day. BUTTER PRODUCTION IS DECREASING Market Kept In Firm Condition by Good Demand. A steady decrease is reported In butter production, both In the city and up the valley. With the demand practically aa trong as before the market Is kept in firm trim. The demand for strictly fresh eggs Is good and on those that come up to the standard 25 cents is the quotation. Receipts from the country are light, and the deftclencv is made up not only with Eastern eggs, but with local storage eggs as well. Poultry arrivals were moderate, and the demand strong, especially for chickens. PORTLAND MARKETS. Itoard of Trade Grain Quotations.

NO PRESSURE TO SELL Preliminary Estimates of the Cur rency Movement Show Tide Turned Toward the Interior. Crop Sews Is Good. NEW YORK. July 17. The atock market Bunk another degree into dullness today, with somewhat ominous effect, on speculative sentiment at times. The usually active list was much neglected and showed evi dence of selling to take profits, which sug gested an effective obstacle to further ad vances in the price level. On any consid erable recession of prices, however there was a distinct subsidence of selling, the supply of stocks dropping to nominal pro portions and the decline coming to a pause in spite of the light demand. This Is the feature of the market that has been most marked during the whole of the week. There were brought forward Into promi nence today a number of new features of strength, which served as a sustaining in fluence on the whole list, although not as influential to that end as some of the more prominent stocks which were selling earlier in the week. Preliminary estimates on the week's cur rency movement give decisive evidence of the turning tide of the movement with the interior. There has been a heavy increase in shipments to the interior by banks this week, while receipts have been correspond ingly cut down. Crop' news was good.- the official weather map showing a plentiful rainfall in the Northwestern country, where the greatest anxiety has existed for lack of moisture. Bonds were firm, some of the convertible issues advancing smartly in company with their stocks. Total sale, par value, $4,- 348.000.. United States bonds were un changed on call.
