In nearly every line of the Jobbing, commis

perous report of business for the past week,
mil is TiriT-MrMilftrlv the case in rxocerles. in
which the Fall and Winter trade Is well under
way. In green produce. It Is a case of between
seasons, with Summer varieties about closed out
and Fall stuff just coming in. Farm produce
as been active, particularly butter and eggs,
but poultry prices have not been satisfactory.
A great amount of trading has been done in
hops, much of it between dealers, and at the
close the tone is not so good. The week in
meats and provisions has been good. In ce
reals, there has been much activity, and a
general upward trend of prices Is noticed in
wheat.
WHEAT The local and country wheat mar
kets were decidedly actlx-e during the past
week, except on the last two days. Prices
have moved upward, the advance ranging from
1 to 2&c Club is quoted for export purposes
at 04 c. and bluestem at GSc The firmness
yesterday was due to the strong demand and
the advance in Eastern and California markets.
The amount of business hate fallen off, as the
farmers are not disposed to sell on a strong
market. Twenty ships are In the river loading
or preparing to load, having a net registered
tonnage of 40,320. Fifty-two ships of a tonnage
of 0C.CC2 are en route chartered or available
for grain loading here.
The Paris Bulletin des Halles places the
world's wheat crop at 353.500.000 quarters,
against 342,000,000 quarters last year, Beer
bohm's last estimate was 357,000.000 quarters,
against 350,000.000 last year. Bcerbohm, places
the requirements of Importing countries for the
crop year at 54.000,000 quarters, and the prob
able surplus in exporting countries at 56,000,000
quarters.
Germany Imported for home consumption dur
ing the first half of September 3,320,000 bush
els, making, with quantities previously report
ed. 10,416.000 bushels from August 1, compared
with 11,"072,K)0 bushels In the corresponding
period of last season.
"The Marche Francals.". says Beerbohm, ."es
timates the French wheat crop at 47,750,000
quarters, whilst the Bulletin des Halles con
siders that it will not exceed 43,500,000 quar
ters. The area Is put In the" one case at 17.-.
1C0.000 acres, and la the other at 17.050,000
acres. Last year's crop, It will be remem
bered, was offlcially estimated at 38,000.000
quarters, on 10,075,000 acres. The Bulletin des
Halles remarks that, although Its estimate of
43,500,000 quarters shows that the production
is about equal to tbo annual consumption -of
France, there must be a considerable reduction,
owing to the defective quality of much of the
wheat In the North and Northwest, so that im
ports to some extent may be necessary. The
Marche Francals, whose estimates always ex
ceed even the official ones, makes the crop
about 5.750.0CO quarters larger than its estimate
last year; but Its estimate of the consumption
of France is also larger than the one ordinarily
accepted.
"The official estimate of this year's Rouma
nian crop shows the yield to be 9,750,000 quar
ters on 8,720,000 acres, against 9.100.000 quar
ters last year, and 7,800,000 quarters in 1900.
All provinces in India except Northwest Fron
tier report fair to heavy rain for the. week
ended September 20. More rain has fallen. In
cluding good showers In Rajaputana and Cen
tral India, where rain was much wanted. Tlfe
season's rainfall Is now nowhere much below
the average, except in tho case of Baluchistan
and a small part of tho central provinces.
Generally favorable accounts of coming crops
received from all provinces, but more rain Is
needed in places. On the other hand, consid
erable damage .from floods or excessive rain is
reported from Assam and Burmah."
Official statistics place this year's Italian
wheat crop at 131.20S.O00 bushels, a falling off
from the average crop of upwards of 19,880,000
bushels. This decrease Is attributed to drouth,
cyclones and the smaller area under cultiva
tion. The Argentine Ministry of Agriculture states
that the rains entlrptv ..
, , uuyit, uuu n
4s estimated that the yield will exceed that of
last year by more than 40 per cent."
United Stataes Consul T. E. Heenan writes
from Odessa:
The year 1902 has been an extremely satis
factory one in Russia, as far as the crops a-e
concerned. With the single exception of flax
seed, which is almost an absolute failure the
crops of the present season are the largest
which this country has produced fnr th
10 years.. The yield of barley and rye has been
much above the averago In quantity, though
the quality of the barley Is not so good. The
wheat harvest Is exceptionally large, and. as a
rule, the quality is also good. Oats yielded
largely In. almost all localities, and I am In
formed that the weight Is heavy. Corn Is re
ported to be suffering from some sort of Insect,
but on the whole tho crop In Bessarabia will,
I believe, be an average one. Sugar beets are
progressing favorably, and have thus far es
caped tho many enemies- which attack this
vegetable. As to flaxseed. It is to be feared
that Russia will be obliged to Import It from
Argentina. The above docs not apply to nor
Include Siberia. Reports from that eectlon are
very unfavorable.
FLOUR. OATS AND FEED There Is a good
demand all around for Oregon flour, and it Is
all that the mills can do to fill their orders.
Aside from the strong local inquiry, a heavy
business Is under way for the Orient, shipments
destined for Asiatic markets taxing the carry
ing capacity of outward-bound steamers. Fol
lowing the advance in the price of wheat cer
tain brands of Valley flour were marked up
yesterday, and a further rise Is expected.
Very few oats are being offered, and there Is
but little shipping demand, but prices are firm
ly maintained.. Best white oats arcquotable
at ?20 50 to $21 per ton. and gray a20. The
barley market is quiet, with a firm undertone
good feed bringing $1920.
FRESH FRUIT-As the Summer fruit season
has nearly closed, and the Fall season is open
ing, several quiet days were seen on Front
street during the week. Yesterday there was
moro activity, in spite of the rain. Late Sol
way peaches are coming in freely, and some of
tho dealers are hadly overstocked. Ashland
sent a notification yesterday of a carload to
be shipped, but local houses were chary about
getting in on it. These peaches were quoted at
40SC0C per box. Grapes are plentiful, as is t
P
be expected at this season, but the tying up
of the San Francisco steamers will shut oft
some of the California supply. -Oregon Con
cords are coming in well, and meet with good
sale. Apples are in good supply, fancy Hood
River stock easily bringing $1 25. A few
crates of pineapples were received yesterday,
and sold slow at $0 per dozen.
DRIED FRUIT There is little that Is new
to say of dried- fruit, Oregon prunes are find
ing favor in Eastern markets, and prices here
are well maintained. As before announced, the
crop in this state is short. In California, the
latest estimate places the prune crop of tho
state at 190,000,000 pounds. According to re
liable press reports a large part of the Santa
Clara prune crop Is under cover. In a few
days the small remaining balance "Will be la
the warehouse, and it Is possible to estimate
closely the amount that will be exported from
the county. Those best qualified place the.
Santa Clara crop at near 90,000,000 pounds,
making it about 29,000,000 pounds short of the
record-breaker of 1900. The fruit runs small,
about the same as in 1000, so that large sizes
will bring f.io premium. "
HOPS The hop market has been, up to the
present, what mlght'be called "a dealers' mar
ket. In the absenco of any particular demand
from brewers or from abroad, purchases have
been made by local and Eastern houses for
speculative purposes. As the new buyers have,
no Intention of holding their hops any. longer
than necessary, the price has been gradually
worked up to 23c or 24c, and even 25c for
choice. This condition, according to dealers
here, cannot last long. Trading of this sort
will only go so far, and when It stops and the
price ceases to advance, growers will let go
freely. According to the trade, that Is what
they are waiting for, for a stampede will un
doubtedly mean a slump in prices. Represen
tatives, of New York firms have been wired
to withdraw from tho market until the price
drops, consequently little business has been
transacted In the past few days. Tho feature
of the week was" the sale of SOO bales at Dallas
at 25c for a London house.. As explained by
local hopmen. the buyers have been taking the
output of the Dallas yard for several seasons,
and were wllllrur to bid above tho market for
this year's crop. As Eastern brewers and Lon
don buyers have not come Into this market, but
have been buying freely of Germans, the price
of the latter has been run up until it Is near
a parity, all things considered, with Coast hops.
This may mean an entry of these buyers in the
local market soon, in fact, brewers' agents are
sounding the market now. Many of them be
lieve the present prlcewlll not be maintained,
and say they are only waiting for a decline
before Investing. On the other hand, as will
be seen by the New York dispatches, there is a
strong buying interest by brewers at New
Yorkwlth sales of Coast, 1902, choice up to
29c The majority of Oregon growers are firm
ly convinced that 25c will soon be the ruling
price here, and are holding for at least that.
It is believed that there are 50.000 bales of
hops still unsold In this state.
FARM PRODUCE The poultry market has
been a dragging one. Quotations were re
duced to what was believed to be a reasonable
basis, but even with this Inducement the retail
markets would only buy sparingly. With the
rain and the ducks and other game It will bring
in, a further slackening up of trade may be
expected. The only firmness shown in this
line was In ducks, which were freely bought
by Chinese for their celebration.
Eggs moved up to 27 c .during the weGk. and
fresh Oregon stock sold readily at that figure.
In spite of plentiful arrivals of Eastern, which
are quotable at 2526Hc Cold-storage eggs
are also In good supply, and bring from 224
25c
Butter, after a week of firmness, moved up
2V4c on fancy creamery and dairy grades. Store
butter is unchanged. Cheeso Is selling at the
old Drlces.
SALMON The salmon market continues
strong, although business at present is not
heavy. The shortage this year Is variously
estimated at from 1,000,000 to 1,500,000 cases,
but no definite statement can be made, as the
canneries have not yet sent in full .reports, and
the Fall run is a- matter of guess work. The
demand for salmon. Jiasl&cccgEd rnore .than
100 per cent since J698.- due to the Increased
consumption In the Orient. Australia, South
Africa and the United Kingdom. 'Fall packing
Is under way on the Columbia River, the Ore
gon coast and Puget Sound. The pack on tho
Columbia will probably, exceed that of last
year, but in the other two districts It Is too
early to determine the results. The total
Alaska pack Is placed at nearly 4.000.000 cases.
Mail advices from London state that the sal
mon market Is steadily strengthening, and the
article going well Into consumption. Choice
descriptions are becoming scarce, ana nign
prices are being paid for both spot and future
delivery.
GROCERIES. MEATS. ETC. Business In tho
wholesale grocery district has been unusually
good in the week Just closed. Aside from the
usualadvance In beans, no changes of Im
portance have been made In the list. Keg
pickles are very- firm, and an advance of 510e
Is expocted shortly. Reports from San Fran
cisco state that the market on evaporated and
sun-dried apples is c lower. Royal apricots
are c higher. Packers have advanced white
figs by agreement, while black, being of moro
limited serviceability, are decidedly lower, tho
second crop being abundant and now available.
The San Francisco Trade Journal says of
canned fruits:
It Is seldom that the market has been so
strong so early In the season as at present.
The demand has been exceptionally good, with
Europe taking quite freely. The pack of aprl
cots is practically cleaned up and higher prices
by from 24S"5c per dozen is asked, although the
list prices have not been revised yet. We note
the sale of 2000 cases of standard taken by
a large packer at the list price, $1 10 per dozen.
This shows the trend. The old carry-overs.
running back two and three years, have been
cleaned up, and all of this year s nave prac
tlcally passed out of first .hands. The large
carry-over prevented heavy packing this year.
so that the market cleans up well. The other
fruits, particularly above standards, are in
Btrong position, and better prices are looked
for.
Meat prices, both for fresh and smoked, rule
as they did last week. Beef and mutton con
tinue firm, and hogs are somewlxat scarce.
Lard Is as last quoted.
WOOL Of Oregon wool at the Eastern sea
board markets, tho American Wool and Cotton
Reporter of October 9 says:
After the enormous business recently done In
Oregon wools, referred to In our issue of last
week. It could hardly have been expected that
a very large business would have been realized
this week, and as a matter of fact the mar
ket has ruled comparatively very quiet. The
sales made have cut a large hole In the avail
able supplies of Oregon, and prices are firm.
Some lots of choice Oregon are held at 19c,'
but no sale of Eastern Is reported to have
been made above 18c. Some business in staple
Eastern has been put through the past week
at 17c.
In California, buyers are paying 1414c for
choice Northern Fall wools, to cost 45c, clean,
landed. In this market there has Been a mod
erate demand. Some of the choice 12 months
Northern wools have been moved at a clean
cost of about 52c, and middle county wools.
have sold at 4C4ic- Fall wools, of which
there are not many here, are quoted at 4345c
Of California defective wools, which have to
be carbonized, there are not many "here, and
moderate sales, wherever consumers can get
them, are reported at prices ranging .from 30c
to 35c

PROGRESS TOWARD A HIGHER
LEVEL OP PRICES. ,
FeellHB Is Prevalent That Coal
Strike Will Reach aa Early
Amicable End.
NEW YORK, Oct 15.-Further progress was
mnrto tnnrd a hleher level of prices in the
stock market today, although there were no
new developments In eitner ine rooneiurjr
tho coal strike situation to indicate any mate
rial change in conditions. Nevertheless, the
feeling was prevalent that the coal strike would
reach an early amicable end, and that meas
ures aro to ba taken by Secretary Shaw that
will shortly relieve-- the present stringency of
tho money market. His action was said to be
in tho nature of further large Government bond
purchases, various Interests being credited with
holding large amounts which would be shortly
turned In. The sums named ranged from $10,
000,000 to $30,000,000, and the report wa3 vig
orously circulated throughout the street.
Whether there was any foundation or not in
the rumor, the money market reflected greater
ease than in some time, call loans opening at
9 per cent, the highest, and then shading grad
ually to 5 per cent.
Considerable attention was given to the report
that there would be certain modifications in
the terms proposed by the coal operators for a
settlement of the strike, which would insure
less opposition tram the miners than the points
contested. Nothing definite developed concern
ing this report, although It was colored to some
extent by the heavy buying of Reading, which
showed considerable strength throughout tho
day. The dealings were-smaller than usual In
other stocks of this class, and there was a dis
position In general to await actual develop
ments before pursuing active operations In this
quarter.
Recent sDeculative leaders among tho gran
gers. Pacifies and Southwestern stocks were
bought freely, and the entire market showed
decided strength at bne time or 'another. St.
Paul. Louisville &. Nashville and nilnols Cen-
. . " i 1 t 4V. Utr. .leollncra
trai were conapicuouu iu ic v.v......D-
and made exceptional advances of 2 or more
points. Prices elsewhere averaged a point pret
ty generally, with quite an acuve aemanu ia a
number of specialties. Tho Gould atocks, aa a
group, received the most consistent support,
tho heavy buying of Missouri Pacific having a
sustaining effect on the lower-priced stocks.
Some disappointment was leit over me Heavi
ness of the London market, and as the ar
bitrage dealers turned sellers, the early -mar
ket showed some weakness. Realizing saics,
however, by the local traders were soon over
come by he appearance of & large order for
the transcontinental, and the movement
throughout the day was mainly upward. Trad
ing lacked the breadth, however, and activity
of the early operations of the week, but there
was a marked undertone of confidence In tho
general situation. :
Sterling exchange rates made a further de
cline today, demand bills declining to ?4 85.375,
and there was some talk of the likelihood of
early Imports of gold. Payment was made by
the Subtreasury today of $200,000 on transfer
account from San Francisco, and It Is expected
further consignments of Klondike gold will be
available to the money market In a few days.
In the late session, stock trading was virtually
stagnant at times. The close was dull and
easy.
The bond market was dull today, but dis
played a firm tone. Total sales, $2,475,000.

AN EVENTFUL PASSAGE.
Accidents and Bnd "Weather on tho
Shenandoah's Trip.
NEW YORK. Oct. 15. The American
four-masted ship Shenandoah arrived to
day from San Francisco after an eventful
passage of 123 days. One man was killed
on the voyage ana two otners injured,
and the ship had several combats with the
elements which "damaged her sails and
deckhouses.
The Shenandoah had fine weather until
July 27. On that day, in a slight gale,
while furling the upper malntopsall, a
seaman named William S. Varney. of
Quincy. Mass.. fell to the deck, breaking
both lege and fracturing his skull. He
died on August 9 and was burled at sea.
Several days before his death the ship en
countered a heavy southwest gale and
a sea boarded the ship, stove the 'mid
ship house and the bulwarks on the port
side, and .started those on the starboard
side.
On August 4 -a huge wave struck the
cabin boy, washing him against tho rail
and breaking his leg. On September 23
the rudder-head was twisted cf and the
crew thereafter was obliged to steer by
tackles on a monkey tiller. Under this
jury rig tho ship came Into port.

rWILSON CREATES A STIR
Hostile to Roosevelt's Plaa of Curb
lag: Trasts.
SPOKANE, Wash., Oct. 15. (Speclal.)-Ex-Sehator
John L. "Wilson, In "a political
speech tonight, created something' of a"
sensation by declaring his hostility to the
plan of President Roosevelt for a Consti
tutional amendment giving the, Federal
Government power to regulate trusta and
combinations. Mr, Wilson said.
"I don't know about this trust busi
ness; I don't know about this Constitu
tional amendment business; "We may aa"
well discuss this question rankly. I don't
believe the man has yet been born who
can draft a Constitutional amendment
taking awny from the state the right to
control corporations and vesting that
powe in the Federal Government, which
will bo ratified by the requisite number
of Btatea Such a plan means the cen
tralization of power in the Federal Gov
ernment beyond even what Alexander
Hamilton ever dreamed of. I believe It
would be possible for the Government to
supervise corporations after the manner
in which National banks are now super
vised. This could be provided for by act
of Congress, which would obviate the ne
cessity for a Constitutional amendment.'
