WHEATFDR STORAGE Country -Buyers Trying Start the Movement. to TRANSACTIONS ARE SMALL Some Demand for Old Bluestem in the Local Market Watermelon Prices Are Shaded Peaches Are Very Scarce. The amount of business under way In new wheat in the Interior Is not large. Very few farmer are disposed to sell at this time and tha full prices offered In some lo calities do not produce business, country buyers are trying to stimulate the movement of wheat to their warehouses and this is probably the reason for mwt of the offers that have been made this week. There Is a moderate local Inquiry for old bluestem. principally from milling sources, and as only a limited quantity is available a premium la offered for It. At ther Board of Trade -yesterday there were bids of S. BO and 91 cents for old bluestem wheat. December wheat was the Interesting fea ture of the Board of Trade. The bidding mi active but buyers and sellers were till X cents apart In their views and no Inquiry resulted. Wheat for that delivery was offered at 990 cents and 868" cents was bid. September wheat opened and closed at Thursdays prices. Oats and barley were very firm. For September oats $1.!0 was bid and S1.2ZV was offered for December, being an advance cf S cents over Thursday's closing price. For barley, 1.1S was offered for both months. Receipts for the day were 1 car and 630 sacks wheat, X cars and 3U sacks oats and 4 cars hay. The range of futures was aa follows: WHEAT. Open. High. Low. Close. Sept.

Ths movement of California deciduous fruits Is reported by the California Fruit Distributors as follows: Peaches, lie cars The shipment for the next seven days will remain steady. Early C'rawfnrds are getting preity well along but other yellow Trees, Elnertas and some Clings will go forward. The Elbertas are reported as being especially nice this year. Plums and Prunes, 140 cars The ship ment has remained steady tor the week w-ttlt a slight decrease. There will be a slight de crease for the next seven days. Quality of this fruit going forward now Is generally very nice. Pears. 3H cars There was a slight In crease In the shipment of Bartletts during the week on account of the fact that the Futsun district commenced shipping liber ally before expected. Barttetts ha e, how ever, reached the apex and while the ship ment will remain reasonably steady if any change there will be a tendency to de crease. Quality la O. K. In ail respects, everything that could be desired, clean and smooth, no worms, no smut and fairly good slae. We will bava a goodly quantity of all varieties of Fall pears as well as a number of cars of fancy Winter stock. Grapes, 40 cars Thompson Seedless are going forward liberally in straiRht carload lota. Other early varieties coming In In more or less quantities. The later grapes are all reported as doing nicely and are giv ing splendid promise of being fine In all re spects for shipping and keeping. Although some report from burn has been received we have no reason as yet to cut down former estimates In regard to the total crop avail able for shipment. HOP CROP CONDITIONS IN ENGLAND Prospects as Viewed by the Merchants and Factors of London. The latest circulars of the English hop' trsde. like the plantation reports In tha English papers, show the hop crop to be In generally good condition. The circulars follow: Cattley. Gridley Co.. London The genial rains which have fallen during the past week have further benefited the plan tations, especially those on the shallower soils. The temperature has been somewhat lower, and this has to some extent stopped the rapid progress of the bine. Some little vermin and mould are reported, but at pres ent there Is nothing to cause any tUarm. Continental and American prospects are oso on the whole favorable. Market quota tions are unaltered, and trade is principally of a hand-to-mouth character. Very few good hops are now left in first hands. Wild. Neame A Co.. London Trade con tinues dull and uninteresting. There Is a general sprinkling of fly In the plantations, and washing Is taking place In most dis tricts. Msnger Henley. London The Inquiry for hops continues and some good business has followed. The bine has been consider ably checked by the cold nights, and doei not look anything like so favorable for a crop as it did a fortnight ago. Home grow ers are washing, fearing the increase of - vermin of the last few days. W. H. Le May. London There Is no alteration to report In our market; a small retail trade la doing and prices re main nominal. ' J. H. Meredith A Co., Worcester Warm rains have refreshed the plantations and the bine continues to make vigorous growth with pin already beginning to show for burr on some of the earlier sorts. Blight has not entirely disappeared, but growers have to study strict economy and washing Is only being continued in a few grounds.

INDUSTRIAL LIST HIGHER Gould Group Strengthened by Re port of Settlement of Wheeling & Lake Erie Financial Trou ble Bonds Are Steady. NEW TORK. July 81. Today's djsultory speculation centered In the copper stocks and other Industrials. The effect of the general list was distinct but moderate, ex cept for the late bulge In Reading. The feature of the market was the scarcity of stocks offered so that the advances were made on comparatively light dealings. There were rumors in circulation of the formation of speculative pools to operate In pome of the most prominent copper stocks. The movement waa widespread, affecting Amalgamated Copper, and, abroad. Rlo Tinto, the principal foreign producing com pany. Minor copper stocks moved in com pany. Loth on the stock exchange and In the outside market. American Smelting and National Lead showed their usual close sym pathy with the movement In this group of securities. The interest snown in ire rest of the market was somewhat languid and lapsed with the pauses of the buying of the coppers. The Gould stocks were first to move out side of the coppers. The announcement that provision had been made to meet the $S.00.- 000 obligation of Wheeling & Lake Erie notes maturing - tomorrow - gave some strength to the group, although the im pression remained strong .that the principal benefits from this settlement will accrue to other properties. No authoritative informa tion was forthcoming of the terms which had Induced banking relief for the situation, but it was supposed that the Harrlnian Interests were Insured some advantage, for 1 heir properties In the operation of the Gould lines. Not much attention was paid to reports of rust damage to wheat in the Dakotas, the large offerings or wheat for sale serving to discredit these reports to an extent. De velopments in the -money situation were not Important. The Reading movemont held up prlcee elsewhere after they had begun to sag. Bonds were steady. Total sales, par value, $3. 356. Con. -United States bonds were un changed on call. CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS. Closing Sales. High.- Low. Bid.

The condition on July 25 of previous years was 82.9 in 1906, "4.9 in 1903, 81.4 for the past ten' years. NEW OR LEA IS, July 31. While the crop condition report of 83 per cent, issued by the Government today, was regarded by the local trade as decidedly less bearish than expected.

MILLERS NEED WHEAT STRONG DEMAND AT SEATTLE, BUT WIL-Ij NOT PAY CP. Barley Higher and Oats Firm. Poultry Received From Port ' land Weakens Market. SEATTLE. Wash.. July 3L (Special.) New wheat Is needed here to run the flour mills. There Is practically no old grain in the crty and millers will not pay thfc price demanded by the growere for what little they have left. There was a frrm feeling all around In . wheat. The State Grain In spector's ofTice today reiterated Its 60 per cent estimate made on July 8 and Insists that despite reports of lieavy yields, the total crop will not be above the flrsrt estimate. Oats and barley are firm. Barley Is 60 cent higher- than last week, at $23.50 for August and September delivery. Oregon cherries are about all that Is In the market at present. Commission men state they- have to depend upon Southern shippers, owning to- light receipts from local and East ern Washington points. Local potatoes are- In heavier supply and weaker. Good otock can be had at $20 per ton. All kinds of berries are disappearing from the market. Few supplies are being brought from California at present. Owing to quite heavy shipments - of live hens frem Portland today, the poultry market turned weak, but did not break. Veal dealers state that there should be a refrigerator car service between Portland .and Seattle, which would admit of bringing In Oregon veal In. hot weather,- when the market Is usually bare here. .

CAUSES HEAVY MARKET Crop Said to Be Too Far Advanced to Be Seriously Injured Chi cago Prices Xear lowest Point at Close. CHICAGO. Jujy 31. The wheat market opened easy and became weaker as trading progressed, the close being at almost the low point of the day. Additional black rust re ports were received from the Northwest, but many advices were also received claiming that the new crop Is .now too far advanced to be seriously injured by the blight. The denials of damage were . chiefly responsible for the heaviness at the market, although unrespon sive cables, a slackening export business and a decline at Minneapolis helped to depress prlcee. The principal selling was by a few influential, holders. September opened c to (gc lower at 01c. advanced to 91 c and then declined to 9oig90c. The -close was at 90c. The corn market was irregular the greater part of the day. The September delivery was rather weak and distant deliveries firm, com mission houses and local bulls were good buyers of the new crop months, because of crop damage reports. The new crop months at the close showed a slight gain comparea with yesterday, but the tone was barely steady. September closed weak. September opened c higher at 74c to 75c, sold off to 74c and closed at 74c. Oats were firm early In the day. but weak ened on realizing ealcs brought out by the slumo In wheat.

Prepara tions for opening of all Jobbing llnee In the first week of August are making at all cities, buyers are gathering In large numbers and a full representation, with increased buying, is looked for. At a few eltlea July trade has not been up to expectations, but at New York a moderate increase In activity is noted. Best reports of Fall trade are coming from the Central West, West and Southwest. Every where, however, the testimony is that buying is of a conservative character. In industry there are evidences of expansion in some lines and- of contraction In others. Factories generally are running simply on orders. In iron and steel, orders and produc tion of finished llnee) are larger but pig Iron is easier.

BATTLE WITH BURGLARS Watchman on Millionaire's Estate Puts Thugs to Flight. GREENWICH, Conn., July 31. Converse Manor, the 1200-acre estate of E. H. Con verse, a wealthy New Yorker, and a di rector of the United States Steel Corpor ation, was the scene of a thrilling pistol duel between three burglars and the night watchman or. the estate early today. The robbers were driven off after a number of shots had been fired. It is believed the three men hod an automobile outeide the grounds, as a moment after the shooting a car containing three men was seen rac ing away.
