LAST YEAR WAS 1,100,000 Ijocnl Dealers Agraln Scouring the Country After Contracts Better Frlccs Offeretl Canta loupes Are Higher. A German eRble received yesterday stated that the continental hop crop would not exceed 800.000 ct. Last year the promo tion was almost 1.100.O00 ewt. This la the lowest estimate yet received of the growing crop in that part of the world and taken with the low figures at which the English crop la estimated. It has naturally added to the bullish feeling In the local trade. As a result of the strong foreign advices, a. renewed effort was made to secure hoi contracts In this state, but without much success, although better than IB cents was offered. The only transaction closed, so far a oould be learned, was one of SO0 bales of 1900s In the Independence section, at something over la cents. A carload of choice 1908s was offered on the market at 13 cents, and a little business In 1906s was renorted though th i.rm. i- I Julius Wolf, of Sllverton. who was In the city yesterday, does not believe the rain has benefited the Oregon crop as much as j some people think. He considers 80,000 to 70.000 bales a fair estimate of the crop. A bet of $50 was made at the Belvedere Hotel yesterday that the market would not reach 22 cents by the first of the year. Adolnh Heller, of Prngue. Bohemia, writes under date of June 21, of crop conditions there: ' The prospects for a good hop orop on I the continent are at present not very cheer : fuL In the Bohemia districts the plant ' has only In some parts made a good progress In growth, but the msjorlty is on account of the ungenlal weather, still more or less ; backward, and In many Instances It looks like hopeless. Besides that, the plantations rwarm with vermin and the danger of their going Into a black blight Is Imminent. Wash ing has so far not proved effectual, as the fly reappeared in swarms. Prom the Ba varian dlxtrlot, Wurttemberg and Baden, very similar complRlnts are to be heard! In large areas the plantations are also slack of bine and the Increase of flyMlght gives cause for serious apprehensions. In Alsace the plant Is better forward In growth, but also Infested with vermin. The markets have stiffened considerably. The prices for Saai hops have advanced fully ten kronen and those for other Bohemian sorts Ave to six kronen. The Nuremberg market Is also Arm with an advance of B to 8 marks for common and medium sorts. London trade circulars, bearing dates of July 21 to 23. say, in part: Wilde. Neame & Co. In spite of grow ers" efforts there Is still a very severe at tack of aphis on the plantations. Our mar ket continues firm, and values unaltered. W. II. and H. La May The market tends upward. There Is a persistent attack of aphis In the plantations, stocks are small, and the present acreage Is not sufficient to produce our requirements. Manger and Honley During the past week a good many hops have changed hands at advancing ratea The reports from the plantations continue very serious. Fresh vermin almost every day and washing is very prevalent. tZI .Exch.an "4 Hop Warehouses There has been very little business passing ouring the week, there being so few samples . on offer to select from. Plantation reports . show that fly and lice and vermin generally jars becoming very serious, most of the plantations being affected, washing having ' -1" ",or,ed keep down the pest. ; 1 he bine has grown fairly freely, but is srery uneven and' requires more sunshine. CANTALOUPE MARKET IS HIGHER. OJghler Receipts Cause 25-Ccnt Advance Melons Slow. Cantaloupe prices were advanced a quar ter yesterday. Front street quotations ba ling 2.25&2 B0 per crate. The heavy early picking in California Is now over, and from this time on arrivals are not likely to be feavy. A carload of watermelons was I received, but the weather was against their ale. Another shipment of Southern Oregon cantaloupes came In and they sold readily et ,1.01.B0 per crate. Peaches were cares, but freestones are expected next .reek. Other California fruits were in fair up ply. Receipts of berries of all kinds were ufflclent for the demand and everything cleaned up at former prices. Tomatoes continue scarce and were re ported Arm at 1.B01.T5 for Southern stock. Borne hothouse tomatoes were ot tered at 12HlSo a pound. Beans were weaker, at 6 cents. Hothouse lettuce was a Irug on the market. GRAIN' MARKET IS UI'EI.KSS. Werkly Wheat Shipments Reported by Mer chants Exchange. There were no new developments in the local grain market. The demand for spot raln was light and offerings were very mall. As far as new crop business Is con cerned, buyers and sellers are too far apart to accomplish anything. The Merchants' Exchange reports weekly foreign wheat shipments as follows: Argentine shipments. 2.1S2.000 bushels last week. 2.144.0OO bushels; last year, 1 -t86.000 bushels.

The local demand exceeds the , available supply and storage stocks may soon have to be generally drawn tip'on. There was a good tone in the poultry market and arrivals cleaned up promptly hens moving at 13 cents and Springs selling up to 19 cents. Additional orders for cheese came In from the ms-th and the indications are that the supply on the next boat will be sold before its arrival. Both cheese and butter prices have an upward tendency. Local stocks of the latter are low. Bank Clearings. Clearings of the Northwestern cities yes terday v. ere as follows: Clearings.

Bayers Arriving In the Larger Markets Decrease In Failures. NEW YORK, July 9. R. Dun & Co.'s weekly review of trade tomorrow will say: No one can now question the substantial character of the revival In the Iron and Bteel trade, which Is rapidly rising to high water mark. The output of tha principal producer has already reached within a mod erate percentage of full capacity and rail roads, as well as builders In leading branches of construction work, are in the market with Ulelr orders. This wonderful change in a short period in the activity of the greatest manufactur ing Industry of the oountry, the bright out look for the crops, that of corn giving promise of an unprecedented yield; the cheapness of money, and the fact that the tariff bill has been passed by the Senate; these are the conspicuous features of the business situation. INlyVSTRIAI, II'ES MORE ACTIVE. Buyers Arriving in the Larger Markets Peci-eime in Failureav. NEW YORK. July 9. Bradstreet tomor row will say: Confidence is unimpaired; buyers are ar riving In the larger markets; cereal crop re ports, despite rains in some Winter wheat and corn-growing sections, are encouraging; country trade promises to be heavy.

Coppers Not Helped by Pro ducers' Association Report. NEW YORK, July ' . The professional contingent in the speculation took Its cue today from the failure of yesterday's mar ket to respond to the favorable showing of the Government crop report. The money market remained easy and offered no dis couragement to the operation in stocks on margalns. While Interest rates continued low. It did not escape notloe that the heavy ac cretion of banking cash, estimated this week, came from other sources than the interior movement, the operations of the Subtressury contributing a fair proportion. Th large Government disbursements which contributed to this result Included some special payments on account of the Philip pine government. The Inflow of cash from the Interior, while reaching the estimated total of $4,000,000. Is somewhat less than half that of last week. Some disturbing effect was produced by the heavy shrinkage that has been going on In the price of some of the railroads which failed to weather the storm of last year's depression, and which are now un dergoing reorganization. The monthly statement of the Copper Producers- Association was read with interest, and. while superficially favorable, gave no help to the market for the copper Indus trials. The month-s reduction of surplus stocks was 1.640.180 pounds greater than occurred In May. but th present demand lor refined copper is pronounced slow and prices have sagged within the last few days Bonds were steady.
