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

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

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.

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

EXCITEMENT AND ALARM
WILD
DAY OS" THE XE1V YORK
STOCK EXCHANGE.
Rapid Fadlnp Avray ot Prices of Se
curities Failures From Inabil
ity to Realize on Collateral;
NEW TORK. 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

the day.

It carried down Wabash preferred 5 points

the day progressed.
The Pacifies and Grangers were under steady
pressure during most of the day. The vio

ed with the failures. Some of the high-priced

IDAHO CHOP REPORT.
Wcatlier Conditions Generally Fa
vorable for Hnrvestlnij; Operations.
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.

Umatilla Wheat Yield.
MILTON. Or.. Aug. 1. Harvesting Is In full
swing In the northern part ot Umatilla Couaty
aad Walla Walla Couaty, and a more accu
rate report cf conditions can now be made.
Along the first benchlands where the rainfall
was light the crops are proving better than
was anticipated. It was thought that It 20
bushels to the acre were realised It would be
all that could be expected, but the actual re
sult Is giving 27 to 30 bushels. This condition
extends to Waltsburg and Dayton.- Higher
up on the hills there was more rainfall and
the yield will run about 35 bushels, while
oa what are called the third benchlands la
close proximity to the mountains tho yield on
some places will total 30 bushels to the acre.
The McEwen. Kent and Ferguson ranches,
about seven mites north of Milton, catching all
tho showers which circle the Blue Mountains,
will have a phenomenal crop, running easily
up to 30 bushels to tho acre. This condition
prevails on all the highland ranches In close
proximity to the mountains and embraces
the country extending from Pendleton to
Snake River and running through Adams, Ath
ena. Weston, Milton and Eastern Walla Walla
precincts.
