Quite a little buying of hons was reported yesterday, One local firm secured about 500 bales of choice goods In the best sections at 31612U cents. A number of Salem and up. jvalley dealers were also In the market. rent rally taking small Jots. Prices held steady, though 124 cents wae the- best re- orted a half-cent better having been paid por seme lota on the previous day. Seax'ey & Metzler report the purchase of 209 bales (n the last few days as follows: From Dr. Rlckard. 28 bales at 12 cents; from J. Huffman. 83 -bales at 11 cents: frbm Henry 3aker, 38 bales at 11 cents; also CO bales of hehalls hops at 11- cents. Dealers still . find it extremely dlffioult to pntercst Eastern consumers, but believe that khe demand in that quarter will eoon onon un In view of the limited supply of choice New Cork hops available. Traders generally look cor a steady market, with continued buying by brewers, who will take adx-antace of the pact that there are plenty of good hops in Dregon that can be had at reasonable prices. Many of the larger consumers can be ex pected, therefore, to lay in a good supply now. as there is no tolling what the Quality hi next year's American crop .may be. Some Sealers can be found who are predicting a slump after the shorts have covered, but this opinion is shared by but few for the reason jjven above. There is much disappointment on the part of the trade at the evidences of slovenly nick ing brought to light by late samples received. It was supposed that the growers had been sufficiently informed on this subject and vould make an effort to keep up Oregon's reputation for clean picked hops, but the ad vice appears to have been lost on some of them. The scarcity of labor and haste in Mcking may have been responsible for some bf the trouble, but there are other hop farm ers who cannot learn that dirty picked hops are not worth as much as clean ones. Some of the inside facta in regard to the enormous hop yield in England are printed in one of the leading London agricultural ftnagazlnes under date of September 25, copies t)f which are Just at hand In the latest Eng lish mall. It seems that the hops of thlsj year are poor in quality. "Whether or not -his fact will redound io the advantage pt. ;ood quality hops in the United States re gains to be een, as the market as yet has Scarcely commenced to move. The following is an jexcerpt from the hop comment referred to: It appears that too larce a nrnnnrtlnn nf the hops now on offer are cither diseased or io badly discolored as to be unattractive. In the true interests of all concerned thK Bhould not liave been picked. Their sale at ts or 30s Can only bring serious loss, to the producer, and their existence must tend to debase the ceneral tone of the tmAe it is very evident that sound, colory. wll-man-tigcd samples are eemnaratlvelv eare. Sm-h l-ualitlea are no sooner exposed for sale than iney are taxen up by buyers, and, doubtless. If the market could, bv nnv nrooMs o ciinrwi I- a11 inferior lots, a healthier condition would speedily be established. Already there Is a Irmer feeling concerning these more select samples, although the prices at which they sire belling Is by no mean eommrnsiirnio with their real value calculated unon'the cost of hroduct.on. Good vearllnra are nlsn in fiitr llemand. but at figures much below the ex pectations or holders. Therefore we cannot yet accept the present position of the tra'de fis being otherwise than unsettled and uncer tain, and we must wait for the actual f the completion of the harvest before- we pan attempt to anticipate the future course of hvents From the country I have manv and v.nrlmia heports. I am glad to hear that forae grow ers nave determined to leave a considerable huantity of hops to be dlsnnsod of bv TCn. lure Their experience of the market, as far hs it has gone, must convince them or th Ivisiom of such policy. In any case it is lear that more than sufficient hop's will be ivailable for the year's requirements, and I I rust mat planters of all grades will now care ully consider the situation, taking into ac ount the abundant growths of America and he Continent, and decide to limit ut by any legitimate means, unless. Indeed, incy can guarantee that the whole of their Iron is first-class in oualifv and ml- it ? Inly by such methods that I can aee the nos- Fiomi or any cennite Improvement In our iraae. At present there is practically no foreign competition, as prices, abroad are hbove Our own. There l tnfn for substantial advancement at home, and pise action on our part will enable us to benefit by it. According to the New York Journal of Com- Incrce of October 10. improvement is already kt hand in the foreign rade. That miner fays: "Cable advices-from London reported more active and advancing market, and ad- lces from the Continent reported a firm Ger- an market." On the domestic situation, the Journal re ported: ' Business the past few days in the lip the state has been active. Leading dealers fiave Deen iree buyers, more particularly of he better grades, paying 1820c for prime to holce grades, but there has been some trading In the lower grades at 15017c; the total sales 1r ai lgrades, it is figured, amount to about QOO bales. Advices received from the Coast eport firm markets with an advancing ten ency to prices. Reports from Sonoma, rv. Iwted up to l2Vic paid for prime hops, and iiatea inat 6ome of the larger growers were wmarawmg as sellers from the market Fair ales were being made in Orpmn and ington at 13c for choice hops. BUTTER MARKET WEAK. L'rices Apparently Are on the Point of Going Down. Extreme weakness Is reported In the butter Inarket and the opinion Is becoming general that prices must be. revised on a lower basis.. Receipts of butter and cream are showing a gradual Increase and the demand is falllnr Iff with the departure of Exposition visi- iors. Some of the local creameries report fn accumulatlbn on hand and And the trade low buyers even at 30 cents. On Front street the same condition exists pnd more or less shading of quotations is re torted to in order to move stocks and pre sent the accumulation of a surplus. Up-Val- jcy creameries are putting, out Jower prices and one Salem factor is making offers here at 23 cents for a fancy article. OREGON EGGS HIGHER. Strictly Fresh Ranch Stock Is Selling at Thirty Cent. With the. growing scarcity of fresh Oregon eggs, firmer prices are announced. While 2S cents Is given by most dealers as the market, quite a number of single-case sales of guar anteed stock have been made at 30 cents. Eastern eggs are freely offered at 23 cents, and many In the trade are entirely satisfied with their quality, though vthere are some mer chants whose trade demands the genuine home product. The half holiday and light -receipts made the poultry, market vory dull. Some chick ens were cleaned up at 10 cents, others at 10V4 cents, and a. few dealers reported sales at II cents. Net. much Interest was shown. by the large retailers. World's Wheat Crop. The world's wheat crop of 1005 is estimated by the Hungarian Ministry of Agriculture at 3,169.000,000 bushels of GO pounds, against 3.182.000.000 such buehels last year. Bper bohm's Evening Corn Trade List puts this year's wheat crop et 3,223,000.000 bushels of 60 pounds, against 3,156.400000 fcuch bushels in 1001. 'Both estimates make the crop of 1005 the larger, the excess in Its favor amounting to less than U of 1 per cent, ac cording to the Hungarian estimate, and 2.1 per cent, according to the figures given by Bcerbohm. Grapes Clean .Up Well. Yesterday was a half holiday in the pro duce quarter,' most of the stores closing soon after noon. Trading in the forenoon was quite active with a good demand for nearly all kinds of fruit. Receipts of grapes were not so heavy as usual, and the ' opportunity was taken to dispose of much of the .surplus stock. curried . over. Bananas have again become scarse. S Sharp Advance in Sugar. A 15-cent advance In all grades of refined sugar . surprised the local trade yesterday. They had no warning of the Intended move and are at a loss to explain it.

Wit eat Speculation at Sna Krnnclsco Taken a Stronger Tara Xevr Crop Grapefruit Arrives, SAN FRANCISCO. CaX, Oct. 14. (Special.) California c tired fruits are generally quiet. Prices for most lines are unchanged. Evap orated apples show firmness. Prunes are easier, owing to the temporary lack of or ders having caused sales by timid holders. Quotations are generally about Uc lower, 3H ('.lc now being; the basis for Intermedl--ate sizes, with a premium of Uc on very large and small sizes. Few old prunes re main, but prices, are easier in proportion with the new crop. The recent new prices for raisins named by the jXocIatlon are not leading to many conflrmaaons. About half this crop Is offered outside of the associa tion. Local wheat speculation took a stronger turn, despite heaviness in Chicago. Yester day's sellers became buyers and December rose to $1.37Tt. Cash wheat was firm. Bar ley was firmer tor spot and futures. The breaking off of the rains in this state is com mencing to affect the market. Oats are quiet and steady. Feedstuffs and hay are Arm. The first now crop grapefruit of the season arrived and sold tor $4. Grapes generally were weaker under heavy receipts. Apples were depressed. Tropical fruits were Arm. In the potato market only fancy Salinas show firmness. Onions are strong." Hops arc in fair demand and steady. Dressed turkeys are quoted at 25027ic for best offerings. Dairy products are very firm. Receipts. 22.300 pounds of butter, 7.000 pounds of cheeso -and 1G;400 dozen eggs. The dairy exchange Is expected to start next Wednes day.

REVIVAL TQ COME LATER Only Slight Changes 3IiuIq. in Prices During the IVeck Industrial and Agricultural '"Kcporls ArejAIl Satisfactory. NEW YORK. Oct. .14. (Special.) A com parison of stock exchange prices shows little chance from a week.-ago. Between the close of business last Saturday and the close today there have been times when the market seemed weak and when liquidation or considerable proportions seemed to be under way. But the net result, taking the -regularly active stocks, is some fractionally up and some fraction ally down, the general, average remaining about the some at tho end of the period as- at the beginning. The significance of this record Is. of course, that it has been made in the face of conditions and incidents admittedly discouraging to speculation for the rise. There are elements of posilblo weakness In the market now, as there are at all xltnc. No doubt the position of certain pools, espe cially in stocks that have had a rapid and sensational rise, is open to some mlsglvlngr. The liquidation that has come frpm thtue sources on 6ne or two occasions this week may and quite likely will be repeated. But the point deserving emphasis U that this cla of operators who are carrying- a large committment on borrowed capital la a rela tively small faction In the preientr market. The financial situation, as every observer can see. wholly lacks essential nnlnt nf wnk. J-ness. Money Is stiff, not became specula- won naa oeen overactive, but because a great business expansion and an uncommonly expen sive crop-moving has for the time being presred hard upon our surplus capital. In thl delicate position It would assuredly be most unwise to tax the community's credit re sources with a freeh speculation. But the money market condition not having been brought about by excessive speculation, does not require speculative liquidation for its rem edy. All that seems to be needed is a period of quiet living, until the crop-moving Is. over afid currency begins to work backward from the Interior. Meanwhile alt reports bearing on the prog ress of commerce, industry and agriculture bear evidence of so high a degree of prosperity in this country that holders of securities con tinue extremely reluctant to part with their holdings in the confidence that the future promises higher values when temporary ex igencies In the money market are once met. Something like a chill of apprehension per vaded the financial district when it first be came known that Vice-President Vanderllp of the National Bank had said to his- fellow bankers In convention at Washington that Should a stock market speculation start from the present high level of prices In the face of the extraordinary demand for money and capital which crops and. business alike are making, the result might easily be tem porary disaster." The sentiment so exactly coincided with the misgivings which had been growing In the minds of stock operators tnnt the Immediate effect was to throw the market into some disorder. Quieter condi tions were restored when tn.e optimistic tenor of the address as a whole jvaar "studied odd when the National City Bank appeared in the market as a large lender of call money and stocks regarded as favorable with that group of capitalists were seen to be sup ported. Naturally, however, speculative operations for an advance were greatly cur- The course of the money market during the week has reinforced the counsel of cau tion In speculative extension. The Bank of .England refrained from advancing Its dis count Tate and it was reported that tho Bank of France was parting with gold for Egypt to relieve the large drain on the Lon don money market. Foreign exchange In this market moved .away frojn the gold Im port point in response to the higher money rates abroad. Rumors were circulated of an Intended redeposlt In National hanks of a portioft of the Government surplus, but these failed of official confirmation. Time money" rates and Interest on commercial credits moved upward and there was somo calling of loans at the stock exchange. Bonds moved narrowly on a slight volume of business. United States 2s decUned i while the new 4k coupon advanced & and the new 4s registered H per cent on call The bank statement proved an enigma again today, aa has come to be expected, owlmr to the Urge share In banking operations by In stitutions outside the clearing-house, which do not report results, to be Included In the bank statement. The stock market remained Im passive on the appearance of the bank ktdte ment. Fluctuations were feeble, with the clos ing easy at mall declines. The attendance at the stock exchange was small, owing to the large number of absentees at the auto cup races. k The bank statement's showing of a de crease In Jwins of $29,450,600 makes a record, with the exception of the reduction for tho first week of September. Repayments, of tem porary borrowings by the City of New York with the proceeds of the yearly tax payments figure In tho showing. It Is believed also that out-of-town Institutions have made loans" dur ing the week In displacement of the New York bank loans. Loans by local trust com panies are believed to have played a small part In the results and the recent lending of foreign funds has alto come to a stop. The stock market has Indicated some liquidation during the week, but nothing like the figure reported In the bank statement. Preliminary estimates of the cash chasge. based on fig ures supplied by the banks, have promised an Increase of about $1,000,000 while the bank statement fihows an actual increase of $2,350, 800. No explanation Is offered for the dis crepancy except as It may represent a recti fication of previous statements, which have shown unexpected growth In the cash reserves. The foreign exchange market ,was unusually strong for a Saturday, and It was reported that the active demand for bllki Is dua o buying to cover maturities of former sterling loons. Other large, maturities of this char acter will fall due during the coming week. Sterling exchange declined at Paris again and a small parcel of gold was withdrawn , frpm the Bank of England for shipment to France. Sterling exchange reacted slightly at Berlin, but discounts advanced, again at that center, at Paris and at London. The international pressure for gold Is. shown to be fully main tained by these developments. Total sale of bonds, par value, $2,012,000, CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS.

EstininteM of the Movement of Money ' During the Week Indi cated Gnlnx. NEW YORK. Oct. 14. The Financier says: The official statement of the New York As sociated Banks last week showed a decrease In cash' that failed to correspond, with the change In this item. which was estimated upon the basis of the traceable movements In money, the latter Indicating more or less Important gains. There was a decided con traction in loans and a material decrease In deposits and consequently in reserve re quirements, which resulted Ip an Important gain In the surplus reserve. One notable feature was an excess of $4,120,700 In the total of loans compared' with deposits. The cash loss was $2.350,S00. This was surprising, because the preliminary estl; mates showed a gain on the interbank move ment and the receipts of gold from abroad contributed to an augmentation of the bank cash.. The discrepancy may have been due to the fact that payment for $2,600,000 of the foreign gold was not made until Friday and, therefore, only one-sixth of the sum was counted In, the statement. Deposits were reduced $33,104,100, and reserve re quirements were decreased $S,27GV025. De ducting therefrom the $2,330,800 loss of cash as above, leaves $5,025,225 as the In crease in surplus reserve to $10,211,400. Computed upon the basis of deposits less those of $S,473,700 public funds, the surplus Is $12,320,823. Loans were decreased $29,450,000, making the' contraction since August 5, $115.S89,400.

The market as sumed every appearance of bullishness, al-i though the news was not of an Influential character. While the bullishness waa n full swing, the leader In the buying movement withdrew his support and simultaneously came, reports from the Northwest that liquidation was In progress for the same operator. The early buyers began unloading and a break In prices remitted. The December option de clined to 83 g So Vjc under the pressure, t Suf ficient buying orders at the decline were filled to advance December a shade from the bot tom, the close being easy at So Vic. Trading in corn was lifeless, biit the market had a firm undertone. December started un changed to a shade higher at 44c to 447x64 44c, became firm at 444c with the upturn in wheat, but declined later 'and closed at the bottom price for the day, 44Ue.
