M'MINNVIIjLE, Or.. Aug 11. (Special.) As the work of the various threshing crews In this section progresses, proof of a fair grain crop Is presented. No wheat crop in the region around this otty yet threshed has yielded less than SO bushels to the acre. At the farm of John Redmond, near town, the wheat averaged 33 buatiela, and in toe vicinity of Bellevue. 87 bushels has been threshed. H. W. Downing, north of town, had a crop that yielded 36 bushels to the a-re- George Phillips' crop, south of town, averaged 43 bushels to the acre. All the grain threshed so far Is of first-class quality, benvy and plump. While the figures given herewith repre sent machine measure. the xrain will greatly overwelgh, a great amount of it going aa high as 63 pounds to the meas ured bushel. Oats are yielding well. too. a BO-acre field, belonging to Knight Olda two miles from town, averaging 7tf busheik to the acre, machine measure. John Red mond's oat crop nearly as good Th crops enumerated here are much bet tor than ih wheat and out crops of former years, and the fact of their being better i attributed to the thorough fertilisation of the land by successive crops of clover. Pfo poor crops In this Immediate vicinity have been threshed yet. but If there are such, they will com off land that has not been devoted to a rotation of clover crops. It Is noticeable that Phillips, Downing. Olds and Kedmond are all devotees to the theory of renewing their land with clover. Atfrnce Yield of 40 Bushels. MOSCOW, Idaho, Aug. 11. (Special.) C. A. Tenwick. scent for the PacWc Coast K levator Company, hss returned from an extended trip in the country around Mos cow and tn discussing the wheat crop prospects, said: ' The average yield in th Moscow district will exceed our first estimates of 85 bushels to th acre. I am perfectly confident, after making this last trip, and judging from the few at.' res harvested already with the com bines, that tn average will be at least 40 bushels to the acre. Some choice pieces will go AO bushels and the average would hav been a little more than 40 bushels had Slot om of th heaviest wheat lodged."

California advice report a firmer feeling there sine th recent contracting In Sonoma. What Utile chang wa reported In th crop situation In Oregon was for the better. Spraying is still being done In many yards and Is showing good results, but what th hopmen all wsnt Is a spell of weather hot enough to exterminate all the Ilea Crop conditions In New Tork State are re ported by the Waterville Times of August 6 as follows: Favorable weather has advanced the hop growth materially In this vicinity the past week. The hops are now In ful! burr and wiih a good soaking rain thev would coma on In fine shape, but it is getting a little dry now for the good of the crop. It Is thought that picking will be a little later than former years, but much depends upon the we;her from now on. The ci op will be a light one. but of excellent nuaHty. and if the grower heed the advice of dealers they py strict attention to narvestlng the crop this var.

The advance In this group proved effective In sustaining the general list against the force of realising sales. Union Pacific's sodden advance to a new high level at 207 late In the day transformed the market from weakness to strength. A rise In the Canadian Paclflo was also made. Another strong point in the list was fur nished by the oopper Industrials. Advices of additional orders for steel rails and for cars from the railroads did not prevent a declln.
