Very little trading in new-crop wheat is reported from the interior. Farmers are ery firm In their ideas, and buyers are holding back. There is a moderate demand for spot wheat, and sellers are not free to make concessions In view of the very small quan tity remaining. Old barley is very dulai Offerings of oats are light.

No operations were reported In the hop contract market yesterday. Crop reports from this state were all favorable. As the Indications point to good hop prices this year, the growers will, no doubt, do all they can to put their hops on the market In the best possible shape. The Department of Agriculture has issued a valuable bulletin- on hop aphis and red spider and the"1 way to control these pests. This bulletin can be obtained by growers free of charge from Washington, D. C, in the regular manner, or by writing to W. B. Parker, 2302 First avenue. Sacramento. Cal. Mr, Parker is an agent of the Bureau of Entomology, of the Department of Ag riculture. New York crop conditions, according to the Watervllle Times, are as follows: "The vine has made- good progress here since 'last week and the yards are looking finely for the most part. We learn that mildew has made its appearance in some ef the yards in this vicinity, one yard west of here being quite badly affected. Re ports of a sprinkling of this troublesome mold are also coming in from various hop yarns, but to what extent we have been unable to verify at this time. The hot weather, which prevails here at present Is the most favorable for spraying and this will doubtless he begun if-4he mildew proves to be general." The report of the Internal" Revenue De partment shows the beer sales for the month of May, 1913, to have been H.037.361 barrels as compared with 6,028,118 barrels In 1912.

STOCKS SELL OFF Presentation of Harriman Plan Leads to Weakness. 'RESSURE ON UNION PACIFIC Attorney-General's Request Is Re sponsible for Downward Course oT Market General Ten dency - Ts Dull. NEW YORK. June SO. Presentation in court at St. Paul of the Harriman dissftlu- ion plan was the one development of a stork market day which otherwise vat fea- ureless. The plan contained no surorises, essential features havinr heen known for some time, but the Harriman stocks slumped and tne whole list sold off on the news from fct. Paul, although the market rose strongly on Saturday when it was an nounced that the plan had beeen agreed upon with the sanction of President Wilson. The explanation given by traders of the markeVs action was tho Attorney-General's intimation that he favored prohibition of the ownership of stock of one railroad by an other and his request that the court approve the absolution proposal, subject to condi tions which would not exempt stockholders under the plan from becoming defendants In any future suit, were points used as a basis for selling stocks. Lnion facllic responded the more readily to presssure because of the extent of its rise on Saturday, and the contraction of the short interest on the rise, which apparently was due largely to covering. Union Pacific and Southern Pacific both sold down three points. The decline In the Harriman stocks fitted in with the general tendency of the market, which waa dull and heavy. Although there was an occasional rally, gains jwe re not well held and losses of one to two points were frequent. The release tomorrow of $215,000,000 July Interest and dividend money has thus far exercised little or no effect on the money market. Bonds were irreaular. Total sales, oar value, $1, 388.000. United States coupon 4s declined 34 and the 2s, regular 3s and Pan ama 3s on call. CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS. Reported by J. C. Wilson Jfc fTo.- T.awIk Dunaing. .fortlana. Closing Low. Bid.

ISHARP DECLINE AT CHICAGO Conditions Improve ill Dukotas and Prospects in Minnesota Are Brighter Corn and Oats Also Ijower. CHICAGO, June 30. General ralna and cooler weather In the Dakotas, with pros pects that Minnesota would be equally fa vored, had a bearish' effect today on wheat. The market closed nervous at a decline of c to l4i'lo net. Corn showed at lots of c to li- from Saturday night and oats a fall of ffi c to fv c. In pro visions the outcome was an upturn of 2c to 7c. About the only Important rally in the wheat market resulted from a well-known expert declaring his opinion that South Da kota would not yield more than half a crop at best. The effect on prices, though, was decidedly brief. Corn turned heavy because of scattered rains and better crop reports. Oats were subject to a number of nightly changes, due to elevators buying cash oats at the sample tables and reselling In the pit. Covering by July shorts lifted provisions.

Surveys and plans have been com pleted for widening Powell street from BO to 60 feet, between Milwaukle and East Nineteenth streets, extension of Powell street through the block to the corner of East Tenth street and Wood. ward avenue and the widening of Woodward avenue from East Tenth street to Grand avenue, but no further action has been taken to finish the pro ceedlngs. Residents of the district hope for better results from the new city gov ernment. The object is to open a di rect street to a connection with th Powell Valley road, which merges into Powell street at East Twenty-6ixth street. It is estimated that it will cost be tween $25,000 and $30,000 to make this improvement and the main expense will be in getting through the block between Milwaukle and East Tenth streets, through the center of which the extension must be made. There has been agitation for this through street tor two years. MAUDE FEALY IS IN FILMS Great Actress in Big Special at Peoples Theater Tomorrow.

Secretary of Navigation Branch Counsels Speed in View of Panama Opening. ASTORIA, Or., June 30. (Special.) The dredge Chinook, during the ten days of 16 hours each that she has been at work at the mouth of the river, deepened the water two feet along the line across the shoal on which she has been run.' That is the report made today by E. M. Cherry, secretary of the navigation branch of the committee of direction, which has just completed an investigation of the dredge's work. The report says in part: "We find that during- the first few days the Chinook was in operation she was working in mud or silt that had ac cumulated since the freshet began. That has been entirely removed and the hard crust that forms the crest of the bar proper has been cut through for a distance extending from the 30 foot sounding inside to the 30-foot sounding outside, or approximately 4100 feet. We find that since the dredge has been in commission she has dug and carried out to sea approximately 100,000 cubic yards of material from the bar channel and has made an in creased depth of about two feet clear across the shoal. "It is estimated that to get a chan nel 30 feet deep and SOO feet wide across the 4100 feet of shoal will re quire the removal of approximately G00, 000 cubic yards of material, not al lowing for the filling In by nature. Thus it will be seen the dredge has already removed in the neighborhood of one-fifth of the estimated material necessary to secure tnat improved channel. We recognize that to get quick and effective results in deepen ing the channel to 40 or 50 feet before the completion of the north jetty, and In order to be in a position to accom modate shipping as soon as the Pan ama Canal Is opened it will be neces sary to have at least one. If not two. additional dredgers. We suggest that your committee take this matter up with a view of securing the desired ad ditional dredges as quickly as pos sible." Harbormaster Speier expects early authorization from the Water Board to remove seals on fire hydrants on docks at such times as it is deemed necessary to supply ships with water.
