In Iowa Illinois the crcp Is somewhat later In loping than usual, by a week or two, and lat extent runs a greater risk of being af- kd ty frost. "On tho whole, the general ltlcn points to the largest yield on record, t!ggest yields to be In the surplus corn- Irlng states. The Weather Bureau has lived reports estimating the dates when crops will likely be safe from frost in several states as follows: In Missouri, ly corn will be safe from frost by Septcm- 1, late corn by September 15; in Illinois iat:s vary greatly, but most are September lor the early and October 1 for lato In north ncrth central, and September 1 for early September 15 for late In south and south Itral in Indiana early com will be safe frort by September 1, bulk of crop by Ei. and late corn by October 1 to 15: in early will be safe about September S, about September 23; in Iowa most ad ed i'orn will likely bo safe from frost tcmbcr 15, balance of crop about 25th to in South Dakota uninjured early corn 1 likely to be safe from frost September 10, by 20th, In Nebraska early corn will be Ie by September 5, late by September 25; In asas early corn is already being cut in ay counties, late safe by September 1 to 15. rhe bulk of the Winter wheat threshing lai shock; Is finished, and there Is no dls- tltlon to push the threshing of stack wheat; movement of the grain to market is fairly tral, but less active than several weeks flour mills and private elevators are forking an unusually large proportion of early marketings of the wheat. In the Irthwest, whero stacking and threshing ing wheat Is progretslng, weather conditions Eve been variable, rains being excessive in iva. Southern Minnesota and a few eastern mtl-s of the Dakqjas. In some places. beclally in Iowa, injury by rains was re- rted The oats crop suffered further dam- Is. mostly to the quality, by excessive moist in Illinois and Iowa. Thresning operations not as far advanced as usual at this time, rltUIT Tho Portland markets are well sup- led with Oregon fruit of all kinds, and the Iallty Is excellent. Receipts of Qravensteln d Red Astrachan apples have been quite ieral this week, anT they are selling at ?1 id SI 25 per box. Peaches are plentiful at and 00 cents; nectarines, 75c and ,1, and Eunes and plums at 40 to 75 cents. Oregon krtktt pears sell at $1 per box. IELONS The first car of Payette nutmeg rilons is duo today. Prices have not been ie, but they will probably sell at f 1 25 and 50 per crate, which is the figure obtained r good stock. Caeavas are plentiful at 00 and J3 per dozen, and watermelons at tout the same figures, although some of the liter esH lower. WOOL The wool has been so thoroughly boned out of the country that there is very tie activity In the local market, the only lies reported being straggling lots of rather Islgnlficant proportions. The Eastern buy- Is, who took up the Oregon clip with much iter celerity than is usually displayed, are Lid to be holding quite firm, and in the East te tone of the market is quite healthy. The lew "i'orfe Journal of Commerce, under date August 23 says; I The condition of the local wool market. hough by no means an active one, shows lime improvement over that of last week. transactions, although not large, have been Loi1 numerous, with inquiries plentiful on hany grades of wool. Prices" have held very fro, and buyers in search of bargains or bnceeslons of any sort have been unsuccessful obtaining them from the dealer. , The in,ter- bt since last week has steadily Increased Intil at present dealers are feeling much cn- Iouraged, and look for considerable activity t no very late date. Manufacturers have oper ated In the market to some extent, filling in luring the week stocks that havs run low, and Ire keeping more in touch with the market ihan heretofore, apparently in hopes that tho larket may take a. turn in their favor. fchould this occur, there would be without a toubt considerable buying. -But is is evident I hat at present W U tne manufacturers' policy to delay, placing large orders in hopes that this may cause a weakening In holders' Ideas. Texas wools are being held very firmly by dealers, their ideas being in some cases above tho accepted level of the market. Buyers are not taking anjGnlcss their needs are impera tive. Bulled wools have met with a fair amount of attention. B wools are held at 37o to 38o for lambs', while C supers are quoted at 30c and upward. Foreign wools continue quiet and in moderate request, inquiries belngprln cipally for Mediterranean. East Indian and South American" wools. The business of the week on the whole is slightly in advance of that done during fae previous week, the heav iest business being' in pulled wools. HOPS With hop-picking- at hand there is increasing firmness In the views of holders and no disposition to make concessions. No sales have been reported during the past wetk, although some very fiatterlngffcrs have been made for choice crops. New York advices of August 20 comment as follows: Considerable Interest continues to be shown in the crop prospects of England. Cable ad vices received "Wednesday reported no -improvement in the weather conditions, and es timate the crop at 330,000 cwt. Cablo ad vices .from Germany reported cool weather, but It was understood tha tthe crop prospects continued favorable. Advices received from up the state were of a conflicting character, 6ome reporting the outlook as decidedly dis couraging, while others reported the crop showing some Improvement. Estimates range all the way from one-quarter to GO per cent of last year, with the majority of the local trade looking for a yield about half the size of last year, or about 35.000 bales. Coast ad vice's reported firm markets, with the outlook for the crop favorable, the general estlmato being of a crop of from 175.000 to 180,000 bales. Locally there was a quiet market. A moderate supply of prime 1001 States and Pacifies were reported coming on offer at xi. Dealers were not bidding, being disposed to hold back, although the Indications were that fair sales could have been made at 2324c for do. Old olds were quite and unchanged. The demand from brewers for 1002 hops continued slow, dealers generally reporting a flat nuuet and rumors were current to the effect that dealers- are offering choice 1002 Pacific to brewers for forward delivery at 23c Tho Oneida Union of August 20 says of hqps.

STOCKS GO TO PIECES CUT IX READ IX G DIVIDEXD THE MOST: STARTLIXG FACTOR. Apprehensive That Speculators; Who Are Boomiag Prices, Are. Acting Without the Rest Information. NEW TORK, Aug. 27. The early stock market today was a repetition ot yesterday, but on a smaller scale. The resemblance extended to the reactionary tendency caused by the heavy realizing in progress under cover of the sustaining strength ot a few stocks, but It waa not until the announcement of the reduction ot the dividend on Reading first preferred that the Weakness ot the whole market became acute, and prices broke all around to well below last night- There has teen an impression tor many weeks that the Reading dividend would be reduced in order to extend the voting trust, which, under the term's ot the trust, would be dissolved by the payment of one year's full dividend on the first preferred stock. The announcement last week that the Southern Railroad voting trust had been requested by the stockholders to de fer the dissolution of the trust by the post ponement of the dividend on the preferred stock was a. strong corroboration ot the ex pectation of similar action In the case of Reading. It is improbable, therefore, that the mere ract of the reduction of the dividend would have shocked the stock market, bad it not been for the determined way in which the Reading stocks were advanced this morn ing on the purchase of enormous blocks ot stocks. The sudden tumble in those stocks caused by the announcement of the dividend reduction gave rise to a chilling apprehension that the bold speculators who are leading tho operations for advancing prices are acting without the best Information in all cases, and may be putting up all prices simply by tho force of abundant funds,"" and without sub stantial grounds for the higher range ot val ues. Selling to take profits was going on yes terday, and today was an additional factor in arousing uneasiness as to the -solidity of the demand, which has made the higher range of prices. The favorites of yesterday and day before pretty generally suffered from realizing, even while the Readings. Illinois Central and Colorado Fuel were advancing most buoyantly. " Additional heavy transfers of currency to the West was a contributing factor to unset tling confidence. Another disturbing Influ ence was a report of a decrease In net in comes of the Atchison for July of t345;1"' which was the more effective on account of yesterday's heavy speculation In tho ocfc The unfavorable character of the "ther Bureau's weekly crop bulletin, especially In regard to cotton, was a disturbing influence All unfavorable Jnfluences were regarded In the early attempts to put up Beading stocks en the ground that the end of the coal s rlks was close at hand. The movement in Illinois was unexplained: that In Colorado Fuel ap peared to be due to intimations that the Wtles to the .dispute for control were in a Suaton- attltudPe. which S23J2S sjr - on the last call.

ALL GRAINS ARE WEAK STOP-LOSS ORDERS CAUSE SHARP BREAK ITS SEPTEMBER WHEAT. Weather Causes Decline In Corn Oats Are Strongest of Cereals, but Close Lower. CHICAGO, Aug. 27. All craln markets ruled weak today. Wheat opened weak under the Influence of the lower cab lei and favorable weather fdr cutting and threshing tho Spring wheat. Early trade was dull and ot a waiting nature with prices slowly easing ofLCom turned w.eak. and, affecting wheat, brought cut stop-loss orders, and September broke sharply. The volume of business was not great, and all day there was a heavy tone td the market. Then were conditions, however, that at times niade an. Impression on the crowd, and prevent ed possible heavy pressure .from sellers. Re ceipts were falling off, and grading was still very poor. Export clearances were fair. wheat "and flour equalling 303,000 bushels. More Important as a pale retarding Influence was the fact that Duluth did not receive a single car of wheat, whereas last year there were 130 cars. Outside markets were weak and and exerted an Influence. Cash business was small. September started 3c lower, at 713' Tic; slumped to 70c. rallied to tie, and closed weak. -c. off, at 70c Corn started weak on the influence 6f the dry weather and more .liberal acceptances of Chicago bids in tho country. Alt day Sep tember was offered freely, and weakness pre vailed. In other months there was better buying, particularly in May, In which there Is said to be a fair ehort Interest. Extremely small local receipts had little- effect agajns the wheat and weather Influences., and prices fell. September closed &c off, and weak at 87c Fair weather broks oats, hut all the loss did not hold. This pit held somewhat better Intone than the others, although the breaks in wheat and corn -were an Influence. Sep tember closed easy. c lower, at 32c a The leading futures ranged as follows: WHEAT.
