YARDS LOOKING BETTER Decided Improvement Is Reported In Many Sections and With Hot Weather the Pest Will Disappear. Th hopgrower of th Willamette Valley, especially tha owr.in of the larger yard, hare been waging -a battle roral with the pesky hop Ioum. and there la reason to bellev they hara eonquored. Spraying opr atlona hav been carried on vigorously for tha paat week or mora, and with tha aid of tha warm weather. aav materially les aened tha number and bad effect of tha Termln. Report showing decided Improv ment In the eltuatlon were received yes ' terday from Beedrllle. Dairy. Woodbnrn. Monitor. Needy. Aurora and North Yaktraa. Ehould the waather rum off hot. aa Is hoped, the peat will be eradicated and the care forgotten, aa baa been tha caaa In former yeara The Western Washington yards, thank to early spraying, ara In clean condition, but rermln ara glvtrg trouble In California, according- to Sacramento advice, the dam are done by the red aplder to tha hop crop throughout tha Sacramento Valley being far gracter than anticipated by Commissioner Jeffery. of tha Btata Board of Horticulture. Hundreds of acres of Tinea that could haTa been saved during tha Incipient stares of the attack, ft la aald. now lie a barren waste, and tha ravage extend over a far greater area than at first reported. A London cable, received by a looal dealer, yesterday, estimated tha English crop at 2OO.000 ct, and the continental crop at 430.000 cwt A cable from Oosalln Oray. of Stamburgea. aald tha weather on the continent has turned too hot suddenly. Cattley. Orldley Co.. of London, report on tha market and crop: Hop orop prospects In England are not. en tha whole, materially Improving. Weather eondltlene have been rather more favorable to tha growth, but a freeh attack of fly blight has made washing operations con tinued and expensive. Where this has been thoroughly dona there Is still a prospect of a fair average crop being grown If wo are favored with rood weather during the next few weeks. The general opinion amongst growers and on the market Is that about 240.O0O rwl. Is possible, and. of course, the question of quality still reroarns uncertain, s there Is the danger of mould In those grounds which have not been thoroughly att-nded to On the continent, where, last week, we made a personal Inspection, we found that all districts were still suffering severely from blight, and In some almost a total failure Is certain. On tha other hand, with good weather. It Is still possible to get hout half a crop, but this will leave only a small surplus for export to England. From America cables report that a slight reduc tion on last year's crop la likely, otherwise prospects are favorable. Under the above rlrcumstancea all marketa are gradually advancing. The fact that cousumera hold such ample stocks prevents excitement, though many growers who still hold their last year's j.ro duce have taken It off sale for the present WITEAT MARKET HOUW ITS OWN. Bnstmees la Ke Heavy, and Price Ara t'a ehaeurrd. Wbeat prices held almost steady In the local market yesterday and the volume of business waa reported as rather light. Car goes, according to cables, were dull and depressed and no quotations could be made on Walla Walla for shipment. Tha New York Journal of Commerce gays that Patten la now on the bear side of tha wheat market. It quotes hint as having made the following etavement: "If tha Northwestern Bprtng wheat crop Is gathered without further barm to It. It looks to me as If wheat would sell lower. The cash demand la pretty small and there Is no evidence of any real export demand. If the Northwest crop gets through without accident. It will mean the blgjreat crop ever raised oat there, as the average la very Urge la Jvorth Dakota. I would not be surprised If North Dakota raised 100.000.000 bushels. The Journal of Commerce oontlnueat It has been enstoraary for almost a year to aasoclate Mr. Patten with the bull side of the market mo that his name baa bo eome almost a synonym for higher price. It will be more or less difficult, therefore, for the speculative publlo to readjust Itself to the Idea that Mr. Patten Is now a Sear. As i and rule, he has frankly statea nis posmuu i i . , .ih.n to follow his course. which v. - - Hn nrontable. There no disposition to do other than to take at his word and he haa such a strong htm folio ing that It will be aa aimcuii ior mi . . i, rreslve operations bulls aa It waa ontil recently tor tha beara to gain tha ascendency. Hay Is reaching the local market in large quantities. cars having arrived slnca the first of the week.

And the Trade Calls for More Ef fort Is Made to Advance) Egg Prices. SEATTLE, Wash.. Aug. 12. (Special.) About th fanciest peaches seen on the mar ket this year arrived from Oregon today by expreea Th shipment consisted of less than BOO boxes, but when the street learned the high quality of the fruit, efforts were made at once to secure further shipments. Th peaches were of the Crawford variety. The only fault found with them was that they were too ripe for anything except fruit-stand trade. They were offered at $1 to $1.25. There wer practically no watermelona on Western avenue today. Th few that were available this morning were held at 19 3 cents. This afternoon the supply was entirely cleaned up. More melons, however, reached the lower freight yards this after noon. , , Another big shipment of pineapple la doe tomorrow morning on th steamer from San Francisco. Berry receipts were very limited today. Effort wer made to buy berries In Oregon, but th supply there ap pears to be short, at least for shipping purpose. Fresh local eggs advanced to 86 cent this morning on th dairy produc ex change, although, as a -compromls, the ex change established a split price of 85 and 36 cents, the latter to apply on extra fancy stock. Some wanted to raise the price to 87 cents. One firm has secured an order for 1000 cases of fancy April eggs for ship ment to Fairbanks on the next boat packers have secured a large quantity of heaw range veal and small dealers are hav ing more trouble In cleaning up. Packers sell at 8 to 10 cents; dealer try to get 10 to 12 cants. . Wheat waa unchanged today. Sentiment of dealer appears to be that the bottom has been reached and that business can now go ahead, although they still hesitate to do much heavy trading.

WITHIN UNITED STATES Including Canada, the Total Pro " duction of North America Is 820,000,000 Bushels The States In Detail. Logan ft Bryan's" letter to the Overbeck sV Cooke Co., of this city, yesterday, con tained th crop report of John Ing-tts, which follows: Th Spring wheat crop ha now arrived at maturity and cutting Is general over the enure area Some damage, resulting from excessive heat, has been sustained, but not serious. Heads are large and well filled. Heat affected the pits of th heads and caused a shedding In the top meshes. Grain In top rows are smaller, but are well formed and their flouring qualities ar not much Im paired. A recurrence of th wet aason of 1906 alon can materially Impair ylelda Minnesota's loss that year was 20,000.000 bushels during August and September. North Dakota leaps forward this year to the front place and break all records In Its total production. In area It also takes rank over all other statea Pew ar aware that the wheat acreage In this state Is nearly 1,000.000 larger than th combined acreage of the three Northwestern province of Canada. While the Red River Valley de creased, western counties and counties west of the Missouri have Increased enormously In placing it at 7,000.000 acres, have an Im pression that these figures are low. In th three Northwestern statea state and county officials make no attempt to obtain area under crop, basing their figures on Govern ment estimates made In 1000 and followed afterwards from percentages since that date. In claiming this acreage, do not want it understood that Increase" waa made sud denly; lt haa been a gradual growth, and this star has bean under-estimated for years. ' Minnesota ha a good crop, with a high general average, fully equal to North Da kota, but with an area which has been gradually reduced. The claim of S.000,000 acres is too high. Eouthern counties have almost abandoned wheat. while oentral counties hav been gradually lowering their acreage, having made large Increase In oats and barley, northern counties alone main taining their former acreage. South Dakota. Ilk Minnesota, has stead ily decreased its acreage. Southern and central counties have gon Into other grains. The area of corn -is Increasing rapidly every year. Northern countlea remain sta tionary, but western counties over the river have increased materially, but Increases there have been offset by decrease In other sections. Heat seriously reduced yields in central and outhem counties, but north and northwestern counties hav on of the largest crops they ever raised. Wisconsin and Iwa are still carried In the columns as Spring wheat states, but their place ought now to be In Winter wheat, as their area of Sprlnr wheat is very small. Acreage. Total yield.

This brings up the average yield considerably. Total of the above 1 about 65.000.000. which is In cluded In other totala Minnesota's area Is small of Durum, South Dakota's much larger, while North Dakota's area exceeds that of the two states combined. Northwest acreage stands much th ama as last year, Manitoba showing a decrease, while Saskatchewan shows an Increase of only 200,000 acres, which Is disputed In soma quarters Alberta'a acreage is Insignificant, 100.000 of its acreage was put In Winter wheat last Fall and mostly plowed up this Spring and reseeded with Spring vrtieat. Its total area In wheat 1 about 800,000 acre. Would estimate the crop of th three Northwestern provinces at 112.000,000. or 17.000.0o0 larger than last year. Ontario and other provinces will probably raise 20.000,000. The" total Canadian crop, 182,000.000. Winter wheat Did not make my esti mates from current reports or on the basis of Government conditions. In my statement of yields made before threshing, empha sised the wonderful improvement made dur ing June. For Nebraska admitted the es timate at that time was made too early. There is no doubt but yields exceeded expec tations, but. my estimates were made on an acreage of about 1,000,000 and lower than that given by the Government. Would add 6,000,000 more to Nebraska and give to Kansae. making my total S70,00,000. Recapitulation Bushels.

Hay Unusually good; one of the largest crops ever raised In th entire country. The potato crop of th three Northwestern states Is very large. The trade can choos between acreage given by the Government and that upon which my estimates are based. Mine is made from personal observationc extending over a period of 25 years, while the former is made from data of nine years and followed from percentages obtained from correspon dents. Acreages from census report of 1901, Winter wheat, are 80.230,000; Spring wheat, 19.655.000. Not only has North Dakota increased her area, but also Washington and Idaho and all the mountain states sine 1901, and yet we have a decrease shown of 700.000 acres since that data Many Winter states' acre ages are lower than my figures and there Is no attempt at uniformity between the state and Federal authority In their com pilations.
