Never In the history of the street has there been such a run of trade, nor has the quanttt of farm, orchard and dairy products that Is passing through the hands of comml8Slon rnen .,.,- hAPn eaualed.

It is hoped that the a ...I.. t muinir stock is only temporary, . .i i nbout completed, and there is need for all the cars that can be brought into Tn a few districts in .Southern Oregon .and "in the Valley there are t tn be threshed, and the machines Ul be occupied for a week or 10 days to come. , J The final estimate of the wheat crop ot In fnr the season of 1901-2 has Just been given ... tur, statistical department of the Gov. ernment of India, The yield Is estimated at 6.008.9S2 fens 'of 2240. pounds, being 450.g0 m less than the previous year and about 600.000 tons less than the average for the pre oortinp 10 vears. The estimated area is given at 23.300.000 acre, or 300,000 acres more than the previous year, and 2.000.000 acres less than .1 rnr iho nrfcpdlntr 10 years. The rhi or what we call the "Winter crop." is -nlanted in India in October and November, ccts its start from the moisture held in' the soil from the monsoon, and is nourished either by irrigation or tho Winter rains. It is gen crallv harvested in the month of February. and is superior in acreage, yield and quality to the Summer wheat crop, called kharlf. which is sown in the month of June or Just before tho monsoon rains, The season under consideration was on the whole unfavorable for the growth of wheat. and in Western and Central India conditions were disastrous." The monsoon of 1001 termi nated early, and the Winter rains were an almost complete failure, except in tho United Provinces, where there was some rain, and the crop, aided by liberal irrigation; was bet ter than the average. In the Punjab and the northwest frontier province, whence so much of the wheat exported from India Is drawn, a poor harvest has been gathered. In Bengal, also, the drought was injurious; In the Cen tral Provinces the yield is belter than in re cent years, but the harvests are limited in comparison with the results before seasons of drought and scarcity set In. The failure Is very great in Bombay, Berar, the Nizam's ter ritory. and Rajputana, where the injury done by the drought was completed by the depre dations of rats ana insects, The wheat yield of India in 1900-1 was 6,765. 717 tons, and in the preceding year 6,523,023 tons The following figures give the exportation of wheat from India for the past seven years: Tons. 1803-00 600.146 1S00-07 i i 05,028 1897-9S 118,630 1698- 09 - 976.025 1699- 1900 485.204 1800-01 2,601 1001-02 366.091 It will be noted that In one year only does the trade approximate 1,000,000 -tons. It is doubtful whether the exports of this year' wheat will exceed the restricted trade ot last year. According to the Modern Miller's report, crop prospects are as follows: The weather con ditlons continue to Interfere to some extent with the seeding of Winter wheat. In some sections the soil is too dry and in others too wet, but the work is progressing, and there Is ample time to get the next crop In the ground. The deliveries ot wheat by farmers are small, as there is a disposition to bold the stacked wheat." The Department of Agriculture of the North west Territories Asslnibola, Saskatchewan and Alberta has Issued its first official bulletin of the acreage and the amount of the crop of wheat for 1902. Tho -summary, with compari sons with other years, follows: -Wheat Acres. Bushels. 1893 307.680 6.542,478 1809 803,523 0.016,623 1900 412.8C4 4.028.294 1801 604.697 12.808.447 1902 ..5S4.98S 14.487.000 FLOUR Flour prices have been maintained In the past week, best grades being quoted . at ?3 05 to $3 60 per barrel. But little is coming in from the interior. The Oriental de mand has not opened up fully yet, but may be expected to soon. Various causes have op erated to restrict the inquiry from Asiatic markets drought, plague, cholera and other epidemics but telegraphic reports indicate that the situation is Improving, and the purchasing classes will soon be in better condition to draw on Pacific Coast markets for supplies. In this sonnection it may be mentioned that two mod ern flouring mills with American machinery have recently been constructed at Harbin, Manchuria, one with a capacity of 250 barrels nd the other of 600 barrels a day. They are operated by Russian millers, and 'e product Is said to be very satisfactory. The buildings are covered with American iron roofing. The flour from these mills is going Into the; mar kets ot Manchuria in competition with flour " from- the United States. Broomhall's Com Trade News, of date of August 10, says of the foreign "markets: Notwithstanding the late reduction In the millers' limit for their bakers' grade flour, con sumers have not thought fit to come into the market at anything like an encouraging rate. and as the reduction alluded to was by some considered ill-advised, Liverpool millers have today put their limit back to its previous level by establishing a rise ot Gd per sack. There has been an entire absence of speculative buy ing, and the business transacted on the spot has continued to mark the unsatisfactory rut In which the trade has moved so long, and which now for some time past has constituted Its most notable feature. It was thought, and not unreasonably so, that with small available stocks in the hands of Importers, and also in view of the very small provision which con sumers have made for themselves in the past. that a better demand would have been experi enced for the milled article, but such ex pectations were entirely dispelled by the re cent' collapse of wheat prices in the States, since when there has been no confidence on this side of the Atlantic, and holders of for eign flour, while not pressing their holdings, were' obliged to make certain concessions in order to effect a trade. Pacific Coast flour Is not offered for ship ment, and parcels of this quality on the spot move very slowly at about late rates, but bona fide purchasers of lines would, no doubt, have little difficulty in obtaining concessions. The trade in French flour is very small. .Shippers offer top brands at 22s delivered here, but this Is about Is too high, and keeps the article-, from competing successfully with Amer ican brands. Offers of Hungarian are put more liberally upon the market, but most of these are for September-December shipment. There Is also a fair quantity offering for August shipment at a premium ot Is per sack over the former position, but buyers are not anxious to take hold. OATS AND BARLEY There has been only a limited trade in data during the period under review, and no shipping demand to speak of. Receipts at this point have fallen off consid erably. Prices offered by dealer of late have been so low that growers' hesitate to market their stocks; while- holding back for better prices, no reasonable offer Is refused. Tester day best -white oats were quoted at $1 per hundred and gray 6 cents less. The demand for barley for export purposes holds Its own. and thus the competition holds prices steady. HOPS This Is the critical time in the hop market, in so far as prices are concerned. It Is the period at which It is almost Impossible to make a quotation. New hops have not be gun to arrive in quantity sufficient to make a market, and contracting Is a thing of the past. The best and. in fact, the only thing that can be said of the market Is that prices are nominal, say at 20 to 22 cents. There are no buyers, brewers or others. In the market. Picking throughout the Valley is under fair headway, and by the close ot the week the work will be general. The crop gives every in dlcatlon of being the finest In quality pro duced In Oregon in 10 years, if th present favorable weather holds out, as it gives every promise of doing. Even should some rain come, the effect need not be serious, as the yards are practically free from vermin. Of tho situation in New York, the Journal of Commerce of September, 6 says: The only new feature was the receipt of cable advices from Germany reporting a dull and sagging market. London cable advices also reported a quiet market, and gave an es timate of 300.000 hundredweight as the prob able yield of the growing English crop. The advices received from the state reported no changes in the crop outlook, the yield com ing down below general expectations. Lice In some sections, it was stated, were beginning to decrease. Coast advices report firm markets; crop prpspects continued favorable. The local market was unchanged. Demand continued light, brewers generally being disposed to hold off and await developments, and there was no trading in consequence among dealers. Old olds were in fair demand and firm. The 'Cooperstown Otsego Republican of Sep- tembr 3 says: "Hoppicking is now In full blast, but it will be a short Job. In every case that we have heard of the hops are turn ing out much lighter than expected. It Is probable that the crop will be less than a quarter qf last year." The Cooperstown Freeman's Journal of Sep tember 4 says that the hop crop Is turalnar out less tjian was estimated a month ago; will be from one-fourth to one-third that of last year, and the quality, as a rule. Is rather poor. WOOL There is but little to report in wool locally. The market is decidedly qulet and prices are without change, Valley "being"quoted at .12 to 15 cents, and Eastern Oregon at 8 to 14 cents. A little more Interest has been shown in Oregon wools in tho Eastern market. The American Wool and Cotton Re porter, of September1 4, reports: Clothing Oregon has sold at 4S-50c. clean, or at 14316c In the grease, accordlmr to shrinkage. For a heavy shrinkage wool, 14c is a fair price, if no staple. We note one sale of 15,000 pounds of strictly clothing Oregon, old wool, grading fine and fine medium, at about 60c Staple wools have sold as high as 18c, to cost 5263c clean. In Valley wools there has been practically nothing doing. The Reporter quotes Oregon wool In the Boston market as follows: "Eastern staple, 16 18c; Eastern Oregon choice clothing, 14015c; Eastern Oregon, average, i314c: Eastern Oregon, heavy, ll12c; Valley Oregon No. 1, 1020c; Valley Oregon No. 2, 1920c; Valley Oregon No. 3, lS19c; Valley Oregon lambs, 1617c" FRUIT The season for the dealers in fresh fruit Is at its height. The produce district on Front street is crowded from morning until night, and working overtime is an every-day experience. Prices vary somewhat, but In the main are well held up. Yesterday's receipts were unusually heavy, especially of apples, melons, pears and peaches. Arrivals Included one car of bananas, three cars of watermelons and one car ot peaches. All the produce that came in was taken care of. Secretary Lam- berson. of the State Baord of Horticulture, places the total value of this year's fruit crop in Oregon at not over $2,000,000, against a product last year of $2,375,000. Last year the state produced about 22,000,000 pounds of prunes, whereas this year he thinks the crop will yield between 12.000.000 and 15,000,000 pounds. Pears are a light crop all 4over the state. In the southern districts the yield will be 6 per cent of normal, and In the Valley 25 per cent. POULTRY. EGGS. ETC. Chickens are sell ing better than they were" a week ago, and the market is. in better shape. Last week it was badly overstocked. The large market men who have cold-storage facilities bought heavily, and the result was apparent with the opening of the present week, whenJyrlces stiffened up materially. Enough eggs are coming In to meet all requirements, but not enough to lower quotations. Fancy creamery butter is very scarce, and correspondingly firm In price. Other grades are taken up as fast as received, More butter is going from Portland into the country this Summer than ever before, the opening of the hoppicking season creating quite a demand for It. MERCHANDISE Practically no change can be recorded in staple grocery prices. A good trade, both locally and with the country. Is re ported. Eastern sugar markets developed con siderable strength during the past week. The bulk of sugar received came principally from Cuba and went direct to refiners, they having purchased extensively of Cuban sugar early last month. The free movement of Cuban sugar, however. Is about over. Stocks of the island have been reduced to 183,000 tons, and exports last week dropped to 19.800 tons, com paring with 37,300 tons for the previous week. With the supply ot Cuban sugar rapidly ap proaching a point of exhaustion, refiners will have to turn their attention elsewhere. Java sugars. In a measure, will supply their re quirements, there being at present 225.000 tons afloat for the United States from Java, and this sugar should begin to be avallablo during tho current month. Although refiners are m derstood to be fairly well supplied with raw sugar for both their current and near-by future wants, they were. ready buyers on the b&sm ot 3 7-1 0c for centrifugals 06 degrees, which shows an advance of only c from the lowest prices touched, apparently being of the opinion that It was not only good business policy amply to supply themselves with raw sugars to rhest the heavy demand now being experienced for refined sugar, and which Is expected to continue throughout the month, but also & good Investment to purchase sugar at Its pres ent low cost. TJie fruit crop this season. It Is generally un derstood, was an unusually large one, and it is therefore expected that the demand for sugar will be proportionately heavy. The fcolnt also is made that In many sections of the country the crops are late, and that therefore the active' demand for sugar will be carried later Into the Fall season than usual. MEAT AND PROVISIONS During the past week the meat and provision merchants have enjoyed something of a boom in trade. Receipts of beef and veal have been large. and prices very satisfactorily maintained. Very few hogs have come In that have been saleable, but It Is expected that after harvest they will begin to move better. A slight decline tn lard prices is noted; otherwise quotations have un dergone no change, since the last weekly re port. PORTLAND MARKETS. Grain. Flonr, Feed, Etc.

BULLS WERE IN CONTROL STRENGTH MARKED OPENING AT NEW YORK STOCK EXCHANGE. Prices Maintained tfbtll Rnraors of Illness of Sage Caased a Selling? Movement. NEW YORK. Sept. 10. For the most part. the tendency of today's market was Irregular, though opening with considerable strength. -which" was well maintained until the last hour. About that- time rumors of the serious illness of Russell Sage caused a selling . movement 111 the Gould stocks, the remainder of the list being sympathetically affected. Condi tions .as a whole favored higher prices. Lon don resorted a strong tone for Americans, and gold importations Were announced. Call money. though nominally as high as' per cent, was actually hardly hixher than 7 per cent. Cro Pvl a ds news was encouraging, and early advices told of a truce between the Pennsylvania and Gould interests. Largely as a result of the last ru mors, -and aided by clever manipulation. Penn sylvania and B. & O., whose Interests are virtually-Identical, advanced oyer a point each, and -the Gould stocks also gained. In the same move. Improvement was shown by St, Paul, Louisville & Nashville. Rock Isl and, New York Central, Illinois Central and Wabash, but the industrial list was neglected save for some activity and better prices in mo gas stocks and American Ice preferred. Fol lowing a brief halt toward the end ot the first hour. Ju'rtng which the list sagged, there came nn active demand for Union Pacific Reading. Manhattan. Atchiaon ana some spe cialties. At the same time there was some selling of Missouri Pacific by the brokers who had been fictivo on the other-side. St. Paul, on narttpnt rumors of an increased dividend. made a further advance-and Reading strength was well maintained, in spite or previous nroflt-taklmr in Pennsylvania. Baltimore & Ohio and New York Central. United States Steel shares were taken up. me common ueius extensively traded in, and simultaneous strength was shown by Tennessee Coal & Iron and other stocks of that class. There was no news to account for the Increased interest in thesa Issues,' other than the general prosperity of fhi xtfvai and Iron trade. In the miscellaneous list, the shares of the express companies advanced from 2 to 6 points on very light trading. Westlnghouse Electric and Pere Marouette gained 0 points each.

While correspondents report the harvesting of an ex ceptlonally large crop of oats, there are Indi cations that the crop will be very deficient In nolnt of duality. The acreage of clover seed had been con siderably reduced since last year, only two of the principal states Maryland and Ohio re porting even a small Increase.

The scarcity of ahlpplng wheat was the principal steadying factor In the wheat pit. Cables were firm, but the weather was about all that could be expected. An at tempt was made early to break prices by sales of 500.000 bushels by a leading elevator. The fact that there was no appreciable slump in this drive seemed to indicate to the bulls a strong position of the principal grain. In con sideration of this Influence and the small Northwest and primary receipts, prices rallied. The character of the buying after the eariy pressure was very good, but fluctuations Were narrow. December started wa'ttc lower 10 shade higher, at 6363c. sold to 63c, and closed steady, a shade up. at 6Sc. The absence of any damaging frosts in tne corn belt started a small early selling move ment in corn. Country offerings dried up ap nreclablr. however, and bids for more stuff started a firmer tone. Cables were steady, and nromlnent bull gave good support. Septem ber closed firm. c up. at 58c. December closed easy. c lower, at 424"3c Oats received fair support by a heading pro fessional, and prices were steady on the weather.
