Newspaper Page TextTHE MORNING OREGONIAS, THXJRSDAY, 'AUGUST 6, 1903. 13 FALL TRADE IS ON Wheat, Barley and Hops the Big Factors, HIGH PRICES LIMIT SALES Salmon Itnn Help Basines oa the Lower Colombia Fruit Is Cominff in, Freely. "Wheat, barley and hops are the big lac tors la the trade situation this week, and while sales of any or all of them, except la barley, were In the aggregate of only moder ate proportions, there has been more than the usual dickering over prospective business. Prices on wheat and barley have both been way abovo export value, and the few sales that have been made would leave the buyers Jar la the lurch If they were obliged to de pend on the foreign market. Hope are bold lag their strength and the outlook continues favorable for the most profitable season of recent years. Some complaint Is being made of hop lice, but ae yet the damage from this source Is only nominal. On the Lower Col umbia the enormous salmon run Is closing the season la a blaze of prosperity. The run Is unprecedented" In volume, and If It continues lor the remainder of the season will materi ally aid In reducing the shortage In the pack that was so apparent a few days ago. Fruit Is now coming in quite freely and finding a good market. The early Oregon peaches arc mostly out of the way, and the later ones have not begun coming, so that there Is still considerable demand for the California freestone varieties. The potato market la showing a little more activity and a slight ynprovemcnt In prices. Groceries are steady 'with an excellent demand from nil over the country, especially for staples, which In some lines arc showing signs of an advance. But ter eggs and poultry are dull under heavy receipts and moderate demand. Cheese is lower. WHEAT The unprecedented demand for flour for the Orient Is responsible for the strongest wheat market that we have had In many years. Exporters are unable to pay anywhere near the prices asked without suf fering a loss and as a result the business Is practically at a standstill. Exporters in the North are better prepared for such a condi tion of affairs than they have ever been be fore, for there is the smallest amount of chartered tonnage to be taken care of that has been secured In any previous season in the past 12 years. New wheat Is now coming In, but not In sufficient quantity to have any visible effect on stocks or to cause much ac tivity In the market. Prices cover a wide range and are governed entirely by the Im mediate needs of the buyer. For "O'alla AValla cents Is generally bid for new crop, with old wheat commanding a premium of about 2 cents. New bluestem Is quoted around 78 and 70 cents and as high as SO cents was paid for one round lot In the Walla Walla country. The Eastern markets have ruled firm for several days, but cased oft a little yesterday. Tre foreign market has thus far been slow to respond and unless It does, make a movo some difficulty may bo experienced In maintaining prices. The Northwestern Miller, under date of July 0. prints the following from Its Lon don correspondent: Influenced by the advance In the American markets, the trade here has been firm, but buyers act with much caution, owing to the continued favorable weather for the crops in England, France and Germany. The improve ment In the crop outlook In these countries la indeed very marked, but In Austro-Hungary torrential rains have done considerable dam age, and In parts of Roumanla also. South Russia sends better news of the weather, but there Is little doubt that the crop In that country will be a varied one, vory good In Borr.o districts, but poor in others, so that the total will doubtless come out much below last year's reported extraordinarily large yield. It Is a very noticeable fact that In the face of this the stocks of wheat In Russian ports are now reduced to the small total of 450.000 quar ters, Russia, however. Is fulfilling the early ex pectations in the matter of exports. Early last August I predicted that Russia would this season be a larger exporter of wheat than for many years; so far. in the 4U weeks since August 1 last yi-ar, she has shipped 1C.O00.0OO quarters, acainst 0.015.000 "quarters in the cor responding period last year. Only one sea son In the last 15 has exceeded the season's wheat exports from Russia., viz.. lSSi-lSJXJ. Below I give you the actual shipments from each country In the 49 weeks ended July 11 for the past two years, wheat and flour com bined. 1902-03, From- ors. 1P01-02, qrs. !0, 335.000 9,015,000 4.S20.000 2.635.000 1.616,000 2,425,000 Vnlted States and Canada.S2.M5.000 Russia llUiO.000 Roumanla Argentina India ..... ... 5.820.000 ... 5,536.000 ... 2.Bltfi.0 ... 1,150.000 Sundries . Total 53.W7.O0O 47.040,000 We are Inclined, on this side of the Atlantic. to regard the July report oi the Washington bureau as a "bullish" document, and it Is even suggested that the final result of ths inter wheat crop will be much less than Is Indicated In that report. However, It may In' terest you to know that we deduce from. that report that the total American crop this year will not exceed 70o.O00.O00 bushels, which with 03.000.000 bushels "visible" and In farmers' hands gives a total supply of 765,000,000 bush- keif. against s:,jw.'.w last year oa the same date. If this be the correct view, we feel that It Is probable that the United States may not, during the coming season, have roucn more to export than the 205,000.000 bushels exported during the 12 months ended July BO. 1003. Vou may. 1 think, take It for granted that the requirements of all Importing coun tries, European and non-European, In the com Ing season, will not be less thaa 500.000.000 bushels, a total which has been reached in the fast season, and may potulbly be more. America a surplus, therefore, will not go beg The present feeling in the trade here Is some what mixed. Nobody eeems inclined to spec ulate, but It Is 'noticeable that nobody warns to tell, there Is Indeed a remarkable absence of offers for shipment, with the exception pet haps of India, whleh country seems likely to exrrt. during the present year, about 5.000. . ' quarters. American crop conditions are thus reviewed by the Cincinnati Price Current for the week rrd.ng last Saturday: Tiia past wecx was too dry tor the best ad-van-reat of the corn crop, there being a 0ceEy of rain over nearly the entire corn bel ".a some localities, particularly In the E.thwest and In Southern Kantas and Okla trria, the crop Is reported to have suffered i:! by the drouth, but the net result of the week's growth Is a maintenance. If not a w-f,ht Improvement In the general condition, tut an urgent need of rain reported from Bst ecctiona to maintain the condition. Show ers, tr are or less general, la the past day rr two over the more Northern aad Southeast ern rsrtloa of the corn section, will doubtless rrrve beneficial, but general heavy rains are Cet.reC Nothing new of Importance has developed dcrlng the wk la the Winter wheat situation. Late reports from the Pacific Coast Indicate a rr.aintvnaLce or slight bettenaeat in the out elsok tier Reports oa quality continue very fay at 'While the week has been sore or lees favorable for the devMopmeat oi the Epr.ng wheat crop, the Impairment of too crop previously Intimated Is being verified by late Infonratlon. The Weather Bureau report of Tuesday states that la Minnesota, notwith standing continued drouth la the Red River Valley, wheat is lilting well and generally im". proving, but late wheat Is poor, some wheat in the South, rusting. Oats harresUns la advasdag, extending to come oi the northern sections.

In so important section Is It excep tionally poor, nor exceptionally good. 3ITJST BE SPIIAYED. Hop Lice Have Appeared, and Many Yards Arc In Danger. SALEM. Or.. Aug. 5. (Special.) That bop lice have appeared la the 'Willamette Valley hep yards in alarming numbers Is declared by a number of prominent growers. Prompt work In thoroughly spraylag the vines wlH be neces sary la order to prevent extensive Injury. "Only twice In 13 years have I ever seen hop lice as thick on the vlaes as they are now," tald Hark F. Skiff today. "The weather has beea exactly right for the multiplication of the vermin, and it seems to me almost certain that the hops will be Injured." Ia some of the yards, where spraying has been conducted la a thorough manner, the ' vines are practically tree from lice, but the number of growers who hare sprayed are comparatively few. Nearly all the large grow ers, and those who conduct their business upon the most up-to-date plan, have sprayed once or twice. In the Llveslay, Ottenhelmer. Gil bert & Pattersoa and other well-known yards the hops have been sprayed with the greatest care. But a large majority of the growers have either trusted to luck or have put oft until a more convenient time the spraying of their vines. The hops are Just now in a transitory stage, passing from the burr to tSe hop, aad the danger Is that the lice will crawl Inside the hops, where It will be Impossible to reach them with a spray solution. The weather has not beca hot, and there Has been little bright sunshine. The warm, cloudy weather Is per fect for the multiplication of vermin. Hot days now, according to growers who have studied the subject, would not kill the lice, but would prevent their further Increase. The only way of destroying them seems to be by spraying the hop vines so thoroughly as to reach every place where the pests find lodg ment. It has often been said that excessively hot weather will kill hop lice. In order to deter mine whether this is true. Manager "WInstanley tried an experiment on one of the hottest days last Summer. He placed some hop leaves. covered with vermin, on a board oa the south side of a house the hottest place he could find, and left the leaves there all day. The lice remained Inactive while the heat contin ued, but the not day they were Just as much alive as ever. ITobably the hot weather drives the lice inside the hops, and their disappear ance from view has given rise to the belief that the hot weather killed them. Leading growers say that it Is not yet too late to spray hops, but that It will be very eoon. PORTLAND MAIUCETS. Grain, Flour, Feed, Etc WHEAT Walla Walla, 7G7Sc: bluestem. 78Slc; alley. 7&fcoc . .

DECLINE OF A CEVT, Selling of Long 'Wheat Hammered Prices Down "Wltli a. Ruth. CHICAGO, Aug. 5. There was a Ann open ing in wheat, due to the higher cables and to the continued rains throughout the Northwest, September being UOHc higher at SOHc to 81c All the outside markets were strong early In the day, and this was a bull factor here during the first few minutes of trading and helped to hold prices temporarily, but so much long wheat came out on the advance that the prices began to decline steadily. The Northwest markets, which had been strong early, had quite a severe decline later In the day, on predictions of more favorable weather for that section of the country, and this fact added to the down turn. Extreme weakness prevailed the latter part of the day. and Sep tember declined to TOJic, closing at TDKSTS'.i, a net loss of lc Trading In corn was rather quiet and gov erned largely by the action of wheat. Favor able weather for the crop restrained the bulls, and small receipts held the bears In check. The Illinois com report, making the condition of the crop 73c on August L agatast TSc lat month, had a strengthening 'influence, but the weakness la wheat overbalanced all other factors. The close was weak with September HSSc lower at CHc Oats ruled quiet throughout the entire day, and prices were influenced mainly by the course of other grains. Trading was mostly of a local character. September closed He lower at 31tic Provisions were exceedingly dull -and prices were Inclined to drop.

Aug. 5. The hour for closing of today's stock market was hailed with re lief by the highly strung members of tne Stock Exchacga. The day was one of ex citement aad alarm, and the fading away of prices of securities was so rapid aad compre hensive as to arouse grave rears of the co zequeaces. The announcements of two failures were the only two distressing developments, and neither of them was a surprise. Some of the day's liquidation Is supposed to be of col lateral on the loans of the failed firms, al though it was announced In one case that the creditors had decided to withhold the collat eral from the market In Its present condi tion. It Is very evident that a very general closing out of collateral In loans was In prog ress aad much' of it was. allowed to go for what It would bring. As the demand for stocks Is still exceedingly light, the natural result was a demoralization of the market, and the pre ture grew more acute by the reactionary effect of the selling ia forcing a shrinkage of the collateral la other loans. So far as the news of the day was con cerned, there was very slender basis for the sacrifice of securities beyond the uneasy sense that collateral cculd cot be readily realized on and the consequent desire to convert It Into ready money. This Is tne essence of de moralization la any market and It had Its natural result today. Expectation was at the high pitch at the opening, and demoraliza tion was preveated only by the most vigorous aad determined support oa the part of .bank ing interests and market managers for various prominent stocks. The support was especi ally notable In the United Slates Steel stocks and succeeded In raising the pneo or common a point and the preferred l?i over last night's leveL The support of thece stocks was helped by the fact that some of the developments which were feared frcm yesterday's meeting of directors did aot occur. As the weakaess of these stocks was a po tent factor In the weakness of yesterday's market the stroag support accorded them had a soothing effect on sentiment. The result was a pretty rally from the opening decline. Then came the announcement of the first failure. that of an Important firm with commitments In a variety of stocks. From that time until the close the liquidation was Intermittently pursued with occasional rallies on short cov ering. There was an eager rush to cover among the bears la the final dealings, but even then there were renewed breaks at other points, and the closing was extremely nervous and excited, with very Irregular fluctuations. The United States Steel stocks suffered com paratively small losses, but both the common and the preferred and the finking fund 5 per cent bonds touched low-record prices during the day. Llauldatlon In Missouri Pacific was very great, and It suffered an extreme loss ot Gv Mucn or tne liquidation in tnis was attnouiea to the account of one of the suspended firms. It carried down Wabash preferred 5 points with It. Erie was also very heavily sold as the day progressed. The Pacifies and Grangers were under steady pressure during most of the day. The vio lent declines la the Colorado & Southern stocks aad Virginia-Carolina Chemical were associat ed with the failures. Some of the high-priced comparatively Inactive stocks were severe suf ferers, American Snuff breaking 15 and New York Air Brake, Pullman. Consolidated Gas. General Electric and Chicago & Eastern Illi nois certificates from 3 to 10 points. Call loans were slightly firmer, but there was nothing la the time money market to ex plain the Dressure to retire loans. A further sharp breatc In sterling exchange caused an approach la tho rate toward the gold import point. lyoiu-taKing in tne gram marxets was a sausiaciory development, wnicn was onset. however, by the continues speculative manip ulation in cotton. A cut In the price of steam coal by tho Reading aad talk of a Rock Island strike. which was denied, were made something of by tbe bears. Satisfactory reports of railroad earnings, including a. 13 per -cent increase in gross earnings ror July over last year by the New lork central, were without a direct In fluence upon sentiment. Bonds were weak In most important stocks- Sales, par value, $4,040,000. United States bonds were all unchanged oa last calL STOCKS. Atchison 71.0)01 69HI 57 86 C7JI do preferred .........

A summary of the Idaho crop report for tho week ending Monday is as follows: The temperature averaged somewhat below normal throughout the week; as a rule, the days were bright and warm and nights were cool; some light showers occurred in limited localities about July 30, and In some Instances these were accompanied by brilliant electrical displays. Water la streams is falling rap Idly, and the area affected by shortage of water la canals Is becoming larger, though fortun ately It is still a very small part of the im gated portions of the state. FRUIT Fruit crops continue to make good progress; blackberries, apricots, early plums. peaches and apples are abundant: the crop is very uneven, but on the whole It Is thought that the crop of apples will be only a little below average; pears are rather thin generally, as are prunes, though In .many orchards Ital ian prune trees are well laden; there are more peaches than usual, aad the quality Is gen erally good; some correspondents report that early varieties of fruit are better than later varieties. GRAIN Harvest of small grain progressed rapidly, with weather conditions generally fa. vorable, and some threshing has been done. A. good crop of oats will soon be harvested In tbe southwestern valleys, while In eastern sections harvest of wheat will be commenced la a short time; except In some southeastern sections where Irrigation Is Impracticable, grain. Is filling well aad promises good re turns. GRASS Harvest of timothy hay Is complete In most sections, with results highly satisfac tory; cutting of second crop alfalfa la south western valleys progresses, and some has been stacked: In eastern couatles second crop hay has started well. High ranges and Irrigated pastures continue to afford sufficient grass, and stock Is la excellent condition. VEGETABLES AND MELONS Garden veg' etables have done well; the condition of po tatoes and sugar beets continues excellent melons are thriving and early varieties of watermelons In the Payette Valley are ripe.
