HEAVY FALL TRADE
Season -of Midsummer Dull
ness Is at an End.
NEW WHEAT MOVING SEAWARD
Rcmarkabll Activity in Lumbering;
and Flshlngr on Lower Columbia
Some Weakness Sliovrn in
Price tor Cereal,
y......
The dull season -which Is always no
ticeable before the crops are harvested
Is apparently going out -with the month,
and In spite of a backward season for
wheat. Fall trade Is getting under way
earlier than usual. There Is not only
great activity throughout the Inland
Empire, but the fishing and lumbering
industries on the Lower Columbia have
never before placed In circulation so
much money at this season of the year.
Aside from weakness In cereals, there
are but few changes In prices.
.a...........
.I
"Low water slack" has been reached In the
Bummer trade, and the tide Is again flooding,
with business In all directions showing up re
markably well. Harvest is about two weeks
later than usual, but the delay has had no
arparent cftoct on general trade, which has al
ready attained a. volume nearly as great as
that of September la ordinary years. The first
car of new season wheat did not reach Port
land until Tuesday, but the receipts at Interior
warehouses have been very heavy for the past
fortnight, and from now on the cereal will be
flowing to tidewater In a steady stream, of
daily Increasing proportions. Country mer
chants are buying heavily for the Fall trade,
and are warranted in their extensive prepara
tions by the greatly increased buying powers
of their constituents. In fact, there has never
been a time in the history of the country when
there, was such uniform prosperity throughout
Oregon and Washington as Is now in evidence.
On the Lower Columbia fishing and lumber
ing Is at full blast. The salmon pack not only
promises to. be one of the largest of recent
years, but the prices paid for the raw material
by canners and cold-storage men have been so
much higher than usual that the industry will
this season show greater disbursements than
ever before. All of the mills and logging
camps on the lower river art working full
time and overtime, and a number of new mills
are under construction or rejected. From.
Southern Oregon, and some portions of Eastern
Oregon, large quantities of peaches are now
coming on the market, and while the early
varieties do not command tho best .prices, they
are providing funds for taking care of the big
crop of later varieties which will soon be com
ing along. During the past week there lias
been a slight weakening In oats and barley,
and a drooping tendoncy in wheat. Dairy
products have held fairly firm, wool and hops
are steady, and veal and pork are higher.
"Wheat Is weak, but owing to low freights is
btlll selling nearly 10 cents per bushel above
the prices paid at this time last year.
WHEAT Aside from the contracting of 300,
000 to 400.000 bushels of new-crop wheat early
in the month, there has been but little actual
business In the cereal since the new -season
orened. There is the usual amount of effort
put forth by warehousemen to attract wheat to
their houses for storage purposes, and in order
to get the wheat -started for their respective
housrs, some of tho buyers are paying pretty
full prices for it. In fact, the figures that havo
been made at some points In the interior are
all out of proportion with the export value of
the cereal even on the lowest freight rate yet
named. This kind of business, however, has
but little actual bearing on the state of the
market, or as indicating the probable price at
which the market will open when the season
reaches a point where selling Is sufficiently free
to render It imperative that the cereal be han
dled on a strictly export basis.
So far as the freight situation Is concerned
this appears to be strictly a farmers' year, for
tonnage is offering at rates so low that in some
cases the business must show a loss for the
shipowner. A charter was made early In the
wepk at 25s, the lewest rate named for a new
crop ship since 1607. While It may not be pos
sible to secure very many ships at this figure,
there is very little prospect for an advance of
any consequence for at least several months,
as ships are more plentiful than business. Sam
ples of new wheat received show the grade to
be about the same as last year in most sec
tions. There is considerable complaint about
smut In the Columbia River counties, and the
threshing returns and a close examination of
the heads of the wheat show that the frost
last Spring did more damage than was appar
ent at the time it appeared. The yield In these
counties, however, will still bo much larger
than that of last year. Umatilla and Walla
Walla confirm previous, reports of & consider
able loes by the heavy wind two weeks ago.
Some estimates place this loss in Umatilla
alone at over 1.000. OOObusheU of wheat. -Farther
up the country, the damage was smaller,
and the Palouse now promises a crop equal to
that of last year.
The Willamette Valley will tills season show
further signs of retiring from the wheat busi
ness and. the most liberal estimates of the
crop do not concede any more wheat than was
produc9d last year, while some very good op
erators do not think it will reach the propor
tions of a year ago. The Eastern market has
been for a long time under the domination of
the bears, and they have been aided in their
tactics by fine weather at home and abroad.
At the same time, the situation can hardly be
termed weak. Much stress has been laid on
the fact that fine weather and big crops in
Europe might make that country independent
of America, and thus nullify the otherwise
bullish factor that the crop in this country Is
125.COO.000 bushels smaller than that of last
year. In this connection the following from
the London correspondent of the Korth west
ern Miller, under date of July 9, Is Interesting:
In spite of the very favorable weather for
growing crops In most European countries, and
especially in England and France, the wheat
market remains very steady. This is partly
owing to the continued unfavorable reports
which we receive regarding the Winter wheat
crop in America, but probably it mainly is due
to the discovery that stocks in the chief Eu
ropean centers are much less than expected. In
both England and France native wheat stocks
have not been so near exhaustion for many
years as they now are.
In Russia the same conditions prevail. Stocks
of wheat in the ports are smaller than they
have been for many years at this period. All
this points to a good demand for wheat for
actual needs before the new crop becomes
available, and will account for the fact that
although last year's wheat production In the
world was the second largest on record, the
world's visible supply on July 1, this year, was.
with the exception of 1897 and 1888, the small
est on record.
The world's production In the last four years,
with the total world'B visible supply on July 1,
following eaoh crop, is shown In Ibo following
table. In' Quarters of 4S0 pounds, hundreds
omitted:
1901-02. 1000-01. 1899-00. 183S-0S.
Crop 350,000 325.000 348,000 370.000
Visible 11.120 14,125 10.000 14.000
There never was a time perhaps when so
much depended upon the weather as Is the case
this season; the weather of the next three or
four weeks will make or mar the crop In
France, where a wet harvest this year would
be "unusually disastrous, and would probably
lead to-a sharp advance of-5s per quarter.
At the present time I can sum up the most
rellablo reports regarding the European wheat
crops as follows:
Russia Harvest commenced in the south;
prospect very favorable: probable yield for all
Russia, 55.000.000 quarters, compared with less
than 50,000,000 last year.
Roumanla Haifcst has commenced; crop
probably poor In both quantity and quality,
equaling last year's yield of 8.760.000 quarters.
Hungary Favorable. Official estimate of
probable yield, 18,750,000 quarters; commercial
estimates, 20,000,000; last year's crop, 15,
S0O.O00. France Greatly Improved prospects; yield
probably Irregular but best In the north and
northwest, which are the most Important wheat
districts. Present Indicated yield, 40.0CO,000
to 42.000,000 quarters: last year, 38,000.000.
Germany A good average crop of 18,000,000
expected, against 17,000,000 last year. Ger
many has imported, in the 10 montnhs ended
Mav 31, 8,140,000 quarters, against 3,733,000
last year.
Italy Prospects are only for a middling crop
of 14.000.000 quarters, against 15,000,000 to 18,
000,000 last year.
Spain Will also have a smaller crop than
last year; possibly only 12,000,000 to 13,000,000
quarters, against 14.000,000 last year.
The United Kingdom has so small an area,
under -2,000,000 acres, that a crop of 7.000.0C0
quarters Is not likely to be exceeded; this be
ing also about the total yield last year.
All these points may be Bummed up as in
dicating a European crop of about 10,000,000
to 12,000,000 quarters larger than last year.
OATS AND BARLEY The oats market lo
cally has again suffered a sharp decline, 2nd
with a very heavy crop coming on, prospects
for another rally are not bright. There is no
itlmation as yet that the American Govern
ment Is coming Into the market In the near
future, and the demand from South Africa
was over before all that were engaged had
been shipped. This leaves a small local de
mand to handle a large quantity of oats, and
sales have been mado this week as low as
$1 05 per cental for best white oats, although
some have sold as high as $1 10 per cental.
Barley is also weak, under tho pressure of a
big crop. As yet there Is no Indication of an
Eastern demand Buch as helped matters out
last year, and as the export market is quiet,
and a big crop Is now being marketed In Cali
fornia, there Is not much sunshine in the out
look for the immediate future.
FRUIT Receipts of fruit by both steamer
and rail were very heavy yesterday. Including
watermelons and peaches, something over six
carloads were received, and while there was a
slight depression in some lines, prices on the
whole were quite satisfactory. Best California
peaches sold at 75c, and Oregon at 50c Apri
cots were plentiful at 65c and 75c, and plums
and prunes In good supply at 50c and COc. Some
very good Bartlett pears were received, and
sold at $1 25 per box, and appjes at $1 to $1 50,
according a quality. Watermelons and can
taloupes were unchanged.
HOPS The hop market is stationary, but
prices are still quite firm, and there Is no dis
position on the part of growers to make con
cessions. It would be a difficult matter to
do much if any contracting for lees than 20c,
and there Is so much talk of 25c hops In the
air that even that price looks small to the
grower, but not to the dealers, who are show
ing signs of uneasiness over the high prices.
The Otsego Republican of July 23 sayB of
hops:. "The outlook for the hop crop does not
Improve materially as time goes on. There
are, of course, a few yards here and there
that look pretty well, but then Just as many
Into which a box will not be sent this year.
Those who haven't seen the yards can scarcely
believe the reports until they see with their
own eyes, then they are convinced. The mar
ket is very strong, in consequece of the outlook
for new hops. One lot of 11 bales of 1001 hops.
Inferior quality, sold the other day for 22c
There is another lot of 10 bales of last year's
crop left In the country- Old olJs, that a year
ago would nave been considered worthless, are
now salable at 3c a pound. Old bops arc worth
7c in the markt,"
Tho following table showing the yearly sup
ply of hops In this country since 1893 Is of in
terest to tho trade. The average consumption
of beer from 1883 to ItKJl, inclusive, is placed
at about 37,000,000, barrels, and for 1002 the
consumption is estimated at from 45,000,000 to
48,000,000 barrels. The Imports of hops are re
duced to American bales:

BUTTER Receipts of butter have been
smaller this week but have not yet fallen suffi
ciently to affect prices, and best creamery is
still moving at 22&c per pound. The weather
is rather unsatisfactory for handling store but
ter, and It Is weaker proportionately than other
grades.
EGGS Most of the dealers were selling at 21c
and 21Vc for tho best stock, although some of
them were endeavoring to secure 22c Puget
Sound has been very well supplied with East
ern eggs, and this has cut off the demand
from that source, and the weather Is not very
favorable for creating a consumptive demand.
POULTRY Everything in the chicken line
EOld out clean last week, and the market was
accordingly In good shape, so hat prices have
been very satisfactory this week. Large fry
ers and old hens were In special demand, and
prices this week are a shade higher than they
were last week. The demand for ducks and
geese continues dull and quotations are nom
inal. Bank Clearings.

SHY ATTHESTOCK MARKET
SPECULATORS ALLOW FURTHER
CONTRACTION OX DEALINGS.
Railways Snpply Much of Strength.
In Dealings Money Rate Contin
ues Low in Factor of Exports.
NEW YORK, July 30. There was a further
contraction of dealings In today's stock mar
ket, and a decidedly hesitating and fluctuating
tone during the day. Professional traders were
watchful for a turn in the tide of the market,
and kept prices fluctuating Irregularly over a
small range during the greater part of the
day. There were no developments of great Im
port. Tho additional engagements of gold had
been fully expected, and. In fact, turned out
to be smaller than had been feared. There
was evidence of continued liquidation on a
largo scale during the forenoon, which was at
tributed to the Western party, whose opera
tions have come to provo a powerful influence
In directing the course of a large speculative
following In Wall street. The cessation of. this
liquidation was followed by a scattering dem
onstration of strength.
The St. Louis & San Francisco securities
were vc-y buoyant, which caused a. revival of
rumors, that they are to be taken In under the
Rock Island plan. The semi-official Intima
tions of the plan of allotment of the new se
curities docs not provide for this absorption.
The movement served, however, to offset, to
some extent, the depressing effect upon the
stock market which has been caused by the
discussion of the representatives of the Rock
Island plan. The rise In Chicago &. Eastern
Illinois and In Chicago & Alton, and the firm
ness of Illinois Central seemed to be related.
The abrupt rise In New Tork Air Brake Is
characteristic of that stock, and was without
much sentimental effect elsewhere. The fever
ish tone of Colorado Fuel Is attributed to
doubts over the present control of the company
as It will be revealed at tomorrow's meeting
of the stockholders. It Is reported that some
of the shorts on this stock have bought con
vertible bonds for protection, and the fact that
the rights of conversion cease tomorrow may
havo been an Incentive to buying of the stock
by shorts.
Some of the statements of net earnings for
July serve to further emphasize the effect of
Atchison's decrease, reported yesterday. The
increased cost of operating showed a tendency
to encroach upon Increases In gross earnings
and In some cases nractlcally to wipe out the
gain In gross. The tendency was perceptible
in Wabash, In Union Pacific and St. Paul.
But this Influence was dissipated In the reviv
ing" effect of the late rally. In which all of
these stocks, and particularly St. Paul; shared.
Tho market be,came somewhat excited In the
last hour on the varying reports current of the
scopo of a St. Louis & San Francisco and Chi
cago & Eastern Illinois consolidation. The
closing, however, was irregular.
The generally favorable tenor of the Weather
Bureau's weekly crop summary and the favor
able weather reports of today were helpful
factors In the roarnet. The continued tran
quillity of the money market. In face of the
gold exports, had a reassuring effect upon
sentiment. The Subtreasury made a liberal dis
bursement of a deposit of $1,000,000 gold there,
to be credited to New Tork.
Bonds were dull and Irregular until the late
rally In stocks, when prices stiffened. Total
sales, par value. $2,534,000. United States old
4s registered advanced H on call.
Closing: Stock Quotations.

Foreign Financial ?etvs. '
NEW YORK. July 30. The Commercial Ad
vertiser's London financial cablegram sayo:
The Idleness In the stock market continues,
with the tendency Irregular. No mining fail
ures were announced today, but asslstnncoMs
reported to have been given In some cases. Kaf
firs were assisted slightly by Mr. -Chamberlain's
speech. American stocks sagged early.
Improved on New York's opening and finally
eased off. In the street an attempt was made
to ralfy prices, but tho effort failed. There
were no features.
BULLS AXD DERS CLASH.
Mnginal Price of July Oats Causes
Bad Feeling-.
CHICAGO, July 30. There was bad blood be
tween the bulls and bears In oats today. Much
comment over the marginal price of 45c piqued
the shorts, but they. In turn, were Incensed
over the attitude of the prominent men who
are exacting their uttermost farthing from the
shcrts In July contracts, at a time when such
action Is not considered good commercial pol
icy. Traders generally wero wroth over the
great amount of trade that has been kept
from the Chicago market lately by too much
manipulation. All day legal proceedings were
threatened to protect the shorts. Plenteous
receipts weakened deferred futures early, but
In July the probability that no relief was to
be expected at the hands of the bull clique
Influenced sharp advances and a nervous tone.
The congested option sold from COc to a strong
closo at 63c 3c higher than yesterday's close.
September dipped to 31c early, depressed by
the early weakness In corn. When other grains
rallied, however, September rallied to a firm
close, c up, at 32c.
Wheat had a very weak opening, but ulti
mately recovered Its position and advanced.
Bearish Incentives were heavy receipts, lower
cables and fair weather. September was sold
venj freely early and large quantities came out
on stop-loss orders, as the price broke under
70c The local crowd soon started an up
turn, however, braced to some extent by talk
of too hot weather Northwest. A leading ele
vator concern took on stuff liberally and aug
mented the rally. July was wanted, and on
covering this option took on considerable
strength. The volume of the wheat movement
seems to bo undiminished. Jmt for the time
being this Influence seems toavo had its full
effect. July open-d c down at 73c. dipped to
72c. rallied to 73c, and closed strong l;c
up at 75c. September opened c to c down
at 7O07Oc. declined to 69c, sold to 70c
and closed firm c up at 70c
Corn suffered extreme depresslonagaln early
today, caused by a renewal of liberal Septem
ber selling, on the Influence of lower cables and
fine weather, and an almost total absence of
support. The selling was of the same kind
that depressed the market for the last week.
Prospects of a very large crop, made doubly
probable by perfect corn-growing weather, was
the principal bearish Incentive. September
closed a trlflo easy, c down, at 55c July
was very nervous. Early It was supposed the
bull crowd had abandoned the option for good,
and the prices opened 2c off at 55c On the
upturn In September a little July stuff was
wanted, no one would sell It at the low price
and July closed strong 2c up at 5914c

BAN OF COURTS ON OATS
SEX BEHIND JULY; CORNER ARE
DEALT A HARD BLOW.
Order la Jfcfjnin-st Patten and Asso
ciatesFirst Time Snorts Have.
-Resorted to Step in Chicago.
CHICAGO. Julr SO.-The ban of tho courts
has been placed on the corner of July oats. On
application or Walte. Thoburn & Co.. one of
the firms heavily short In the July option, a
temporary restraining order was granted by
Judge Chytraus In the Superior Court, prohjb
Itlng James A. Patten and associates from con
tinuing a corner in July oats, and from bidding
up the price of the cereal In calling for fur
ther margins. Tht3 Is the first time In the
history of the Chicago Board of Trade that
dealere who are short havo resorted to the
courts to assist them in a dilemma; like the
present, and the Injunction camo as a decided
surprise, although drastic measures had been
threatened to prevent heavy loss. The injunc
tion runs against Carrlngton, Patten & Co.,
Patten Bros., and Bartlett, Fraser & Co. De
fault on 3,000,000 bushels of short new July
oats, lawsuits and action by the Board of
Trade are seemingly tho inevitable results of
the granting of the restraining order. Unable
to secure new July oats wherewith to meet
their contracts, the dealers who are short ap
pear to have practically thrown up their hands.
"We have nothing left to do but to default."
said one of the unfortunates today. "Those In
control of the corner will not sell, hut ten us
to go Into the pit and buy. If we should do
that, prices would go up Into the clouds, A
dollar a bushel could easily be exacted, as the
receipts of standard new oats will not fill our
contracts."
Walte, Thoburn & Co., the firm that request
ed the Injunction. Issued the following state
ment tonight In explanation of the course they
have taken:
"For a year or two there "has been a regu
lar epidemic of manipulation and attempted
corners In the market on the Chicago Board
of Trade, which have Inflicted Immense Injury
on the legitimate grain Interests of this city
and in the country tributary to Chicago. Thesej
attempts to squeeze the trade have now be
come so extreme and so unscrupulous that It
has come high time for some one to make a
fight and find out where the trade stands, and
whether It Is to bo for all time possible for
groups of millionaires to turn upside dowfBthe
grain business of the country and Inflict heavy
losses on the trade. We he decided now to
make a test and find out whero tho trade
stands."
Frank P. Frazer, at Bartlett, Frazer & Co.,
was Inclined to treat lightly the unprecedented
court" action. He safd:-
"There Is an erroneous opinion current that
Mr. Patten and myself, who each has a fair
line of July, have been bidding up the market
With the intention of squeezing the shorts.
This Is not the case at alt. The shortsln ev
ery Instance of high price have themselves to
blame for putting the price up. We are sim
ply waiting for the delivery of oats we have
contracted for, and we expect their delivery
Recourse to the courts to abrogate a bona fide
contract of this kmd Is unheard of. It la im
possible to forecast the effect of the Injunc
tion." Three million bushels Is said to bo the short
age In July oats. The greater part of the same
amount was sold. It Is said, to those In con
trol of the market at between 32c and 33c. so
that there Is more than 25c a bushel profit In
the deal for those on the long side.
Instead of the market collapsing as a re
sult of the adoption of a 43c marginal price
yesterday btlie Board of Trade directors. July
oats advanced 3c today and closed at 63c In
dications were that the parties In control of the
market had become indignant at tho move of
their opponents, and Intended making the bears
settle all obligations In the pit.
Several hours after Issuing the Injunction the
court made an amendment so that the restrain
ing order affects only three deals, comprising
but 53.000 bushels of the 3,000,000 busheis
which the dealers who are short cannot deliver.
An effort will be made to have the Injunction
dissolved tomorrow morning before the open
ing hour of the Board of Trade.
