THE MOR&IHGr OBEGOINIAN, THURSDAY, JULY 30, 1903. 6 V TRADE HOLDS GOOD Large Volume of Business for the Season. NOT MUCH WHEAT MOVING Oregon. Potatoes Have Retired the California Product From -the Market Melon Season at Its Height. Trade is holding up through the quiet sea son much better than usual, a tact that is evidenced by bank clearings largely In excess of those for a year ago. "Wheat has not yet commenced moving, and as the old crop Is pretty well cleaned out, there is not much do ing In the cereal markets, although some new crop transactions are reported. The fruit sea son is on at full blast, and in spite oyarge receipts, prices have been well maintained. Teeterday's receipts Included some of the first of the Oregon crabapples, and there was also a few crates of Oregon nutmeg melons re ceived. Oregon peaches are becoming moro plentiful, but we are still dependent on Cali fornia for freestones. The potato market is in good shape with enough Oregon stock to prac tically shut out the California stock but not enough to cause much weakness in prices. TVeXl jnatured Oregon Burbanks sell at SO cents to $1 per cental and those not quite so good at 70 cents. The market is still supplied with onions from California. Butter and eggs are hoth weak, and poultry is steady, except for Springs which are too plentiful to bring best prices. The melon season is at its height so far as the California product is concerned and Oregon stock will he along in a few days. Oats and barley are strong in- sympathy wltn wheat. Hops are steady and wool is quiet. WHEAT Tor the first time in many years. the exporters are in a large measure indepen dent of the action of the farmers regarding J wheat. The experience of former years has at last taught them that there was a very large element of chance in chartering ships with tho expectation of securing cargoes for them at aa export value. They are according ly buying wheat when it can be se cured at somewhere near the export valut, and with a plentiful supply of tonnage in sight, are not making any effort to force matters. At the same time, the millers are in the market at pretty full prices la order to meet tne demand for flour which is -unusually brisk at this time on account of the impending strife In the Orient. The weather has been very satisfactory for harvest, and It :s on at full swing south of Snake River. The yields In some localities arc disappointing but in others they are very good. Tho Vnstorn -rripnt market was violently agl- B tated by poor threshing returns and a cover W inf hv ehnrjs hut the foreicn market was less excitable. Tho outlook on the whole, is not favorable for lower prices and some operators are predicting that the market will go much higher. The Cincinnati Price Current reviewing the crop conditions for the week ending last Saturday says: The harvest season of tho 1903 Winter wheat crop is practically at an end. 'Weather conditions as rule have been very favor able for saving the crop, but as the season has advanced and threshers' returns have been received, it has become more and more evl- dent, from the disappointing returns, that tne yield has not come up to expectations. Tho greatest deficiency has been in the Ohld River Valley and in Mlssour The quality Is above the average, and a large proportion will mate contract grade. There ha not been much change In Spring wheat prospects during the past week. "The past week, was not so generally favor able for the corn crop as the preceding few weeks, due to some drawbacks from cool nights, and in some instances of needed rain, but on the whole the crop seems to show some Vi!nVrff nn i'mnrovlnc tendency, thouxti con 's dltions vary widely. The condition of the crop JJf in Illinois gives hopes for a full average, but in lowa an average croji aeeiua juijunutLuii; with the most favorable conditions. The South ern States promise very large yields for those regions. Oats harvest is progressing in the Central portion of the oats section, and the crop is maturing with fair satisfaction la the nortn- ern portion. In Iowa and the western States .in general there have been increasing com plaints of damage by rust, and prospects are fit quite so satisfactory as a week ago, while ir the Eastern oat states the crOD has been ttterlng in prospects, and on the whole the jp continues to promise slightly less than 4tm average crop, but of good quality. " The foreign situation Is thus reviewed by F. Lenders & Co., of London, under date of July 9: Harvesting operations have already com menced in France and are making steady progress In the early districts. General sat lsfactlon has been expressed with the early results, but it is generally anticipated that the final results will show a crop superior in quality to that of last year but Inferior in quantity. Favorable weather has prevailed throughout Germany and no fresh complaints have been received respecting their crops. In this coun try, the wheat crop is expected to be some what deficient In yield, although if fine weath er should continue through harvest the con dition will be much superior to that of last year. The rain which continued 30 persistently in the south of Russia has now ceased, and much better weather conditions have prevailed dur Ing the last few days. This improvement came in the nick of time and has no doubt saved the crops in a good many districts. Drouth, however, is reported in other districts of Rus sia, so that in this country we quite expect that the early brilliant promise will not be realized. Perfect weather has -been reported from the Danube, and no signs have been forthcoming yet of the serious damage which was at one time reported owing to the per slstent rains, and wheat cutting has been progressing for several flays under Ideal con ditions. Ilere, again, we do not anticipate that the result will be equal to what was at one time anticipated, but we think that a good average crop can be relied upon. The sltua tlon appears to be that none of the principal exporting or Importing countries are likely to secure crops equal to what was at one time anticipated, and the probability of the world's harvest proving exceptionally bounti ful seems to be gradually disappearing. In the near future markets are sure to be af fected by weather conditions, but It .seems pretty evident that even under the most fav orable circumstances we shall seo any material lowering In values, whilst it only wants bad harvest weather for some of the principal crops to cause a considerable advance. HOPS The nop market Is showing consider able strength with very few new transactions reported. The -weather has been very satls- 1 factory and if it continues, until picking time. the output will be fully up to early esti mates. The "Waterville Times under date of , July 21 has the following: The hop market, prospects and conditions do not change much from those previously out lined in these reports. There ara hoDs of 14 the 1002 growth in growers' hands, but they j uui M.-ciu wiuing 10 soil at present oners, which aic not high. Just at present the mar ket may b said to be dull and lifeless. ' The jards arc doing fairly wclL In some of them the vine is thrifty and vigorous and good crops from these are predicted. But there are many yards In all varieties of condition from the very poor to the fair. Not much Is heard about lice though some are reported. Both the earlier and late varieties are now in blossom, which is earlier than usual. Tho situation abroad is thus reviewed by the Kentish Observer ot July 0: Ashford The colder weather of the last few days has checked the .growth of the bine and encouraged the attack ot vermin, which In some cases has aseumed alarming proportion. Washing is In progress in many places, and where the attack is thus met the hops look well, but neglect soon shows in the appearance of the bine. There is a good deal of mold In many gardens, which is very difficult to deal with while the vermin remain, because the sulphur which checks the one feeds the other. Maidston District Down to the end of the past week the progress of the bine was very satisfactory. "We arc afraid, however, that with the cold wind of Monday and Tuesday, and the low temperature by. night, the plants will sustain a check. Washing is being car ried out pretty generally, but the aphis attack Is still severe, and unwashed grounds will fare badly. Cultivation is -fair on the whole, but there are many gardens that have not had much done to them. Messrs. W. H. & H. ,LeMay, hop factors, London S. E.. report: The demand for all .de scription of hops continues, merchants having great difficulty'' in finding what their custo mers require. The aphis blight is increas lir. fresh fly making Its appearance every day. Albert Heller, of Prague, writes: No Im provement is to be reported from the Bohe mian hop plantations. A good many planta tions have been totally destroyed by vermin and excessive drouth, and a good many more are in danger of drying up, if -we do not get heavy rains in very, short time. The position Is: One-fourth ot the plantations will yield nothing at all, two-fourthB might v produce some hops, and one-fourth even a good aver age crop, if suitable weather sets in imme- aiateiy, otherwise the ctod will be a vrrv short one. PROSPECTS ARE- EXCELIBXT. Lane Countys Hop Yards Will 'Yield Heavilr. EUGENE. Or. Jniv-ri rfinwlii -Ti- r t. Prltchard, the well-known hop buyer, of In dependence, is here examining Into the condi tion of the crOD in this county- H PT-rrnnp .himself In glowing terms regarding the con- aiuon or. several yards and the prospects of a good crop. For the county he Is satisfied that tho estimate published In The Oregonlan of an average yield is correct. That is. present pros pects indicate that with favorable weather for maturing, no danger coming from Insects, 710. moia appearing ana xavorable weather for harvest, the county will have about 6000 bales. All these favorable conditions must exist, and any one of them being absent will curtail the crop. The critical period with the hop crop is lust at the last end. Th fln.t nm- pect at the beginning of the harvest has been known to suffer In a week so that not more man naif a crup was realized when the har vest was finished. So It Is nr rnnt a fl- yleld is possible, but nothing extraordinary; ana again it is possible for failure to result. When 3Sr. Fitchard visited the vnrA nr n 1 Dorris, near Springfield ho was very much erniea at me spicnaia showing of the vines, with their rich color, long and numerous arms and the thick settlmr of bloom. He Kv ,. i the finest-looking yard he ever saw in any t-ouuirj-. ao a matter or fact It Is one of the best producers in the world. Tj,t- vr ,. yield was about 2500 pounds per acre, and anything less than 2O00 pounds per acre Is a light crop any year. This year it has been Cultivated With KneclB.1 IMln n1 It mair duce more than 2500 pounds. The price and the general tone of the mar ket are now being carefully watched by the growers. The growers In this county have a reputation ior avoiding pre-harvest contracts. In years past contracts have been very rare here, and last year especially the growers prof ited by being free when the rlso In the mar- k came, juany oners to contract have al ready been made this season, but not ac cepted. At first IB cents' was offered, but the offers afterward dropped to 16 cents. Now a stronger tendency Is noticeable and 17 cents has been offered in some Instances, but even this finds no takers.

Wheat Advanced "With, a Rusn Ifear the Close. CHICAGO, July 29. Improved weather and the heavy selling of yesterday caused weak ness In wheat at the start and the early de pression was. considerably augmented by the severe break In corn prices. September opened with a loss of 5ic to c at 77S77Ue to 77c and there was very little wanted at the decline. Prices held fairly steady during the first hour but later a better demand devel oped. Influenced by bullish news from the Northwest, reports from Manitoba showing greatly reduced crops in that section. Shorts covered freely, and some prominent longs re instated lines which they had sold out, which resulted In tho market taking a sharp upturn. September selling up to 70Hc On the advance offerings became extremely scarce and prices were well maintained throughout the remainder of the session. September closd at "9VsC a net gain of lWfflHc General rains throughout Iowa, Illinois and Nebraska caused heavy selling In corn at the opening. At one time the offerings were overwhelming and the market was badly de moralized, but later a good demand developed on reports from sections of the com belt to the effect that only light showers had fallen and that more rain was needed. September corn, after selling between 510524c, closed c higher at 52c Oats acted In sympathy with corn, opening weak, but showed a good rally later, with local longs who had sold out their line, replacing them on the break. The close was firm with September Uc higher at 33c Provisions ruled active and strong the great er part of the day. There was an excellent demand for lard jind ribs supposed to be for the account of a big packer which advanced prices materially, pork being carried up wltn them. The close was strong with September pork up 32 c September lard up 4245c and ribs 17c better. The leading futures ranged as follows: WHEAT. .Open. :so.7ig 77 High. ?0.78 78 July (old).. July (new).

Investment Bnycrs Are NotYet Bay. ingr Heavily Transactions Were Mostly In Specialties. NEW YORK, July 9. Operations' In the stock market took on. a mare, conservative tone araln today and the leaps and bounds of the first recovery from the long depres sion gave place to a more creeping . process. Even this moderate upward pace was not maintained and there was frequent hesitation and reaction. The news of rain In the South west and the resulting weakness In the grain market vas a benefit to the stock market as a close eye Is kept upon all news bearing on the conditions of the corn crop. There was an evidence of renewed liquidation of the forced character that cost the market so dear for some time past. But the demand for stocks, nevertheless showed signs of satisfaction and the selling, though light was sufficient to force prices backward again. There ' Is an element among stock buyers which refrains persistently from entering- the market until conclusive evi dence that the turn has come. It Is made up in part of speculative shorts for a Jong turn and in part ot Investment buyers who dread to hold stocks through a decline. In distinc tion from that class called bargain hunters which takes stocks and holds them regardless of the market prices. The demand from this clement seems .o have been exhausted today. The bargain hunting element, of course, wish declines to follow any advance In prices. The recovery here- had sufficient dimensions to In duce profit taking alsoby the speculative buy ers for a short 'turn, who were so fortunate as to get In at last week's low prices. It Is an inevitable consequence of such a forced liqui dation with little sustaining power in the market that the strong class of holders should have been able to hold through the weakest point by an agreement between themselves and their creditors in order to avert needless sac rifices. The result Is a considerable amount of credits extended with a. stipulation for liquida tion at the first good opportunity. A rising market at this time meets a considerable pressure of such contingent of liquidators. Aside from these technical considerations there remains a conservative spirit ot waiting to perceive how far the business and Indus trial affairs of the country will respond to the possible Index afforded by the recent move ment of securities prices. The opinions of prominent bankers on the situation imparted yesterday to "the Assoslatcd Press made an Impression upon the financial district especial ly the tone of warning adopud" by one Influ ential; banker that the combined Industrial In terests of the country may have to undergo later an era of liquidation like that through which Wall street has Just been passing. There was a. -distinct relaxation In the time money market today. The wide movements In to day's market were confined to specialties under the Influence o special causes. The day's net changes are not Important, the earlier gains having been rather more than wiped out by the reaction. The Atchlsons were conspicuously pressed for sales. Bonds were generally Irregular. Total sales, par value. $2,565,000. United States bonds were unchanged on the last call. O STOCKS. Atchison I do preferred Baltimore & Ohio do preferred Canadian Pacific Central of New Jersey.
