port Flour Quotations.
Whfi: WWM Arm at Chleag-o yesterday, but
not in Europe. A local cargo w;i sold at
(0s Od. which meant that shippers here
could par 78 cents for club and 80 cents for
fortjr-fo!d. Fanners. particularly In the
Pendleton and Walla Walla sections, are ask
ing 2 to 3 cents over these prices and con
sequently business is still on a limited scale.
Ret! wheat Is also being- held firmly by (row
era. though there Is no foreign demand for it.
A part of the sdranct in the East was
due to unfarorable crop reports from Rus
ala. which for several days have been more
or less of a factor In the market. Writing
from London under data of July 1. the. cor
respondent of the Northwestern Miller. In
commenting on the free offers at that time
of wheat from both the Atlantic and Pa
ciflo coasts, said:
"Market tendencies for the balance of he
campaign depend, apart from crop acares.
on the actual consumptive necessities of
Europe and the present downward trend of
prloss is probably open to the Influence of a
natural reaction. The question of supply Is
tin the main factor In the situation and
there Is no actual Increase In the world's
reserves. Indeed the total quantity In
sight In the United Kingdom, added to the
American visible, only gives a total of
8.418.000 quarters, against 12.473.000 a year
ago. Advices from Paris state that, owing
to the deficiency In the French crops, it will
be necessary to purchase large quantities of
North American wheat. Danublan shippers
are finding a good market In Southeastern
Europe. Hungary being still a buyer and
Ituaala Is holding off."
Some business Is being worked In new
crnp export flour, but the volume of trade so
far has been small and millers do not look
fo.- any material Increase In the near future
quotations have been made of $3-50 on
straights and $3. SO? 3.65 on clears.

ritOl.KEss Ol I NCI ISH HOP CROP
ine in CmmJ Condition, hot More Favorable
Weather Needed.
The condition of the English hop crop Is
shown by the following district reports in
the Kentish Observer of July 0:
Aahford district Thera Is a sufficiency of
Mn to carry a large crop, though the ver
min attack will no doubt leave Its mark.
Rain is wanted, though Its lack is not so se
verely felt as in soma places.
Ash-Next-Sandwich The Improvement
zr.a.'.e In the hops during the week is the
rapid advanca of development. The "bucks"
are nearly ready to shed pollen and burr Is
easily found now In most varieties, both
early and lata. Lies continue to stick, but
an mostly confined to the tlpa of the bine
and lateral. Washing operations ara still
In full force.
Canterbury and district The steady rain
which fell for some hours on Friday night
and again on Monday morning has been very
beneficial to all the hop plantations In and
around Canterbury. The bine looks very
healthy and vlgoroua and la now quite free
of vermin In all grounda where washing had
been well done, while In the unwashed
nieces there Is very little to complain of
and it la hoped that there will be no fur
ther trouble. On the early sorts the burr
ts coming out quite freely, with a healthy
and promising appearance.
Marden (Weald) Although the bine
maintains on the whole a vigorous appear
ance. It Is evident In some grounds that
more moisture Is required and without It
the crop will b only a top one. There are
some complaints of red spider.
Medway Valley The earlles are coming
ut Into burr all through the valley and
prospects generally are decidedly good; they
would be still better with more rain. Wash
ing seems to have quits got rid of the ver
min. North Herefordshire The bine has very
much improved alnce the rain and Is nearly
free from blight. Very little washing Is
now being done.
Northiam Great improvement has taken
place In the plantatlona. If this conttnues
quite a nice crop no doubt will be grown In
this district.
Slttlngbourne district The heavy rain
which hat fallen rn this district has done an
Immense amount of good to the bine, which
1s developing very fast and in a promising
fashion. The burr Is coming out well. The
vermin attack has practically ceased to give
trouble.

NEW YORK. July 22. Despite the injec
tion of such new and unfavorable elements
as the proposed dissolution suit against the
Now Haven road and the abandonment of
the Rock Island reorganization plan, to
day's stock market held fairly firm in that'
class of securities whose present and future
seem reasonably assured.
Some of these Issues rose above the pre
ceding day's best prices, notably Union Pa
cific. United States Steel and Amalgamated
Copper, but failed to hold any considerable
part of their advantage. New Haven fell 2
points at the outset, but soon recovered a
part of its loss.
Virtually all the Rock Islands lost ground,
the decline in the debenture 5's extending
to 7fc points, while the convertible 4s fell
3.
Investment bonds resisted the declining
tendency elsewhere, but the list as a whole
evinced an easier tone. Total sales, par
value, aggregated (2,796,000. United States
bonds were unchanged on call.

SUNRISE SALUTE IS FATAL
Robert Ballou Accidentally Shoots
diaries Bnrgen.
GOLDENDALE, Wash.. July 22.
CSpecial.) Charles Burgen, 14-year-old
son of Mrs. G. H. Taylor, of Goldendale,
was accidentally shot with a 22-caliber
pistol in the Iiands of Robin Ballou,
14-year-old son of Robert Ballou, early
Tuesday at the Rusk Soda Springs,
on the Big Klickitat River.
The boys were members of a camp
ing party, composed of a Sunday school
cla6s, and were under the charge of Rev.
Samuel M. Forsyth, pastor of the Pres
byterian Church at Goldendale.
The shooting was purely accidental,
and the two b'oys were especial chums.
The Ballou boy was firing a sunrise
salute, which the party had planned,
when a shell stuck in the pistol, and he
was holding- the firearm over a camp
fire, which the members of the party,
who were up, had just built.
In pulling back the hammer to re
lease the cylinder, his hold slipped and
the gun was discharged. At the same
instant the Burgen boy stepped for
ward and bent over the campt'ire, the
bullet striking him in the left temple,
inflicting a wound from which he died
about one-half hour afterward, before
medical aid reached the camp.
The pistol which 'the Ballou boy was
firing belonged to his chum, and he
says that he did not see the Burgen
boy in front of him until after the gun
went off. ae he purposely stood wnn
his back to the other boys when he
was trying to get the pistol to work.
The Ballou boy is heart-broken over
the death of his chum.

BLACK RUST DAMAGEGREAT
Prospect or Record Yield in North

cago Market Closes 7-8 to

CHICAGO, July 22. Black rust and heat,
spoiling the outlook for even an average
yield In the Spring crop belt, made the
wheat market today tend to soar. The close
was firm, 0 lc to lc above last night.
Corn showed a net advance of 0c to
c, and oats finished c off to c up.
In provisions the outcome ranged from 2$c
decline to a gain of 20oc.
It was generally admitted for the first
time that all prospect of a big crop of
wheat this year In the Northwest was gone.
Some experts contended that the yield In
Minnesota and the Dakotas would prove to
be far below normal. On the other hand
there was high authority for an opinion
that notwithstanding a big loas In general
from what had been hoped for, tho Spring
wheat harvest would yet equal an average,
although some sections would be hit hard.
Predictions that the United States Gov
ernment would stop altogether the Import
ing of damaged corn from Argentina put
strength into the corn market.
Hedging sales kept the oats market rela
tively weak. New-crop holders were said to
be letting go freely.
