FALL TRADE OPENS
Conditions Are as Favorable
as a Year Ago.
COMMODITY PRICES LOWER
Distribution of -.erchamllse So
Heavy Tluit Kail war Equipment
Proven Inadequate Irua and
Steel Purchase Restricted.
KEW YORK. Ang. 7. R. G. Dun & Co.'
"Weekly Review of Trade tomorrow will say;
Trade advices from nearly every section con
tinue to chow as favorable conditions as a year
ago, and In rainy lines the transactions have
been Increased. Jobbers report Fall business
opening with excellent prospects and manu
facturing plants are well occupied with the ex
ception of cotton mills- Distribution of mer
chandise Is so heavy that railway equipment
already proves Inadequate, although crops aro
not the factor that they will be In a few weeks.
Earnings In July exceeded last year's by 12.7
per cent and those of 1901 by 20.2 per cent.
On the whole, news from the farms 1$ less fa
vorable, but no serious curtailment Is assured
and many sections make very bright reports.
A ducUne of 1-5 per cent In commodities in
July Is evidence that prices are less Inflated,
since the change was mainly in meats and
other food, which have been ruling M an ab
normal position.
The consumption of Iron and steel Is on a
large scale and In many departments tue
past week has witnessed the signing of numer
ous contracts, but there Is a tendency to re
strict purchases beyond early needs. This
conservatism 1m not surprising In view of the
uncertainty regarding the security and finan
cial markets, together with considerable In
terruption to structural work through labor
controversies, The rate of consumption and
the moderate size of orders, however, indl
cate that stocks are running low, which en
courages furnacemcn and mill operators to
hold quotations fairly steady. A moderate
tonnscre of file Iron has hen nrrlfrid. and In
L partly finished products the best feature Just
now is the bidding for agricultural Implement
makers. More pig Iron was Imported In July
than anticipated and German billets are still
offered at Pittsburg, but the domestic makeu
announce their intention of meeting foreign
competition. There Is pressure for tin platen.
the peculiar weather extending the canning
season and giving more time for delivery of
cant. There Is full occupation In all branches
of this Industry and In merchant pipe, alsii,
the mills have full orders booked for many
months.
No change Is noticed In the attitude of cot
ton goods buyers, who appear determined to
-postpone business during the readjustment uf
prices for raw material. Owing to the gradual
reduction In mill stocks there Is a similar dis
position to delay undertaking new contracts
and the result Is further added Idle machin
ery. In view of the comparative steadiness of
retail prices and the actvlty in dry goods
trading at many points, it Is evident that
stocks In other than first hands were larger
than was believed when the speculative ad
vance begun. Although Jobbers report bright
prospects for Fall trade, it is remarkable thai
they make so little effort to secure forward de
liveries. Irregular distribution of orders is reported in
woolens, some lines being withdrawn, whne
others make little progress. An Increase in
the number of buyers Is encouraging and In
the aggregate sales are fully .up to normal.
Healthy conditions continue In footwear, some
grades advancing In price, while New England
shops are not able to accept orders for delivery
In xeveral months.
There were 17S commercial failures this week
In the United States against 100 last week and
106 last year. In Canada, 10 against 10 last
week and 21 last year.
FUTURE IS PROMISING.
Brlfrht Outlook for Gcueral Trade In
the West.
NEW YORK. Aug. 7. Bradstreets tomorrow
will say. Summed up In a sentence. It may
be said that the past week in trade and In
dustry is satisfactory while the future, despltfl
some mainly sentimental drawbacks. Is highly
promising. Divided geographically. It Is to be
noted that the East feels the effect of specu
lative liquidation and the dulling effects on
manufacturing of high prices of raw material,
or of strikes, while the West and South con
template the prospects of good yields of staple
crops and remunerative prices for the same
with confidence and even optimism.
Staple prices sare drifting lower. Food
products certainly tend lower. Other develop
ments In actual trade and manufacture ara
favorable. There are more buyers of dry goods
and clothing, hats, shoes and hardware lu
Western markets and In nearly all lines busi
nest is said to bo equal to. or :n excess, of last
year, so fat. The dry goods season has open
ed well at New York In all lines except cot
ton goods. a ,
For the first time In weeks something ap
proaching Ufo Is seen In the Iron trade.
Railway earnings thus far reported for the
month of July Indicate a gain of 14 per cent
over the same month a year ago, and therefore,
to this extent, are the best ever reported for
that month. Hides are easier. Lumber Is
active at the West, but new enterprises In
volving Its use at the East are reported held
up by financial uncertainties.
Reports of car shortage troubles are Increas
ing, the latest sufferer being the Western lum
ber trade.
Wheat. Including flour, export? for the week
ending August 6, aggregate 3,uJ.2C9 bushels
against 3,101,442 bushels last week. 4,244.363
, bushe's this week last year. 8.S31.100 bushels
In 1001. and 3.318,760 bushels In 1000.
Corn exports for the week aggregate SS4,
428 bushels against 028.830 bushels last week.
70.311 burhels a year ago. 000.714 bushels In
1001. and 2.SW.754 bushels In 1000.
"Wheat TO Ccntr- at Pendleton.
PENDLETON. Or.. Aug. 7. The price of
wheat went up to 70 cents per bushel yester
day afternoon, and there Is every Indication
that It will go etlll higher. Never in the his
tory of the country did farmers hang on so
doggedly for bigger money as they are do
lnir this season.
No large contracts have been made, and it
ts not likely they will be made for some time.
Farmers are refusing to sell for anything less
than 70 cents, and some of them, are asking
even as high as 75 cents per bushel. Of course
these quotations are for blurstem, and club Is
se .Ing at 3 cents lower.
Practically the only buying "done at the
present time Is by the flouring mills. They
need a supply and have to pay what the
farmers are asking. If the mills did not buy
new they would be forced to shut down, and
In fact some mills -of this section of the coun
try have already suspended operations. There
ore no export buyers In the country beyond
the few who are living In the "wheat centers.
These men cannot at the present time pur
chase wheat at the high price and ship It at a
good profit.
There is one advantage the farmers have
th.s season, and that is that most of the wheat
wi:i be classed as No. 1. Some of the wheat
wh'rh has been brought into Pendleton has
Hated as high as 63 pounds to the bushel. That
Is even better than last year's crop.
Thermits Hop Sale.
CHEHAL1S. Wash., Aug. 7.-MSpeclal.)
C McCarthy and JohniReagan have sold their
1902 hop crops. 146 bales, to Klaber at terms
which they declined to make public. Aa of
fer of 20 cents a, pound was made to one of
the big growers today for the second halt of
his 1003 crop, the first half having been con
tracted some time ago.

BUYING POWER SHOWN
PLENTY OF SUPPORT BACIC OF THE
STOCK MARKET.
N Reaetral of the Tone of Demoral
ization That Characterised
the Previa as Day.
NEW YORK. Aug. 7. Today's stock market
soared upward In continuation of yesterday's
late movement toward recovery, but It be
came apparent very quickly that the further
advance in prices was encountering sales to
take profits In yesterday's late rise. The
buying movement also seemed to have spent
Its force and there was no disposition shown
to follow the ad ranee in prices. On the other
hand. It was apparent that support was fortn
comlng for the market on declines and there
was no renewal of the tone of demoraixatlon
such as characterized the market yesterday
before the rally set In. Even the resumption
of liquidation In spots, which waa. easily per
ceptible, was taken calmly by the market,
whlen developed no appearance of disorder at
any time.
There was free selling of some of the West
ern grain-carries, New York- Central and the
specialties. The pressure was renewed In Vlr-.glnla-CaroUna
Chemical and It was believed
that collateral for loans was being thrown on
the market again. Later In the day raiding
tactics by the bears showed Itself directly, espe
cially In Canadian Pacific, which was forced
down four points on the circulation of baseless
rumors alleging that the closing of the Mon
treal Stock-Exchange was due to financial dif
ficulties there. Even this did not disturb the
market.
The tone was heavy and sluggish all day,
but the character of the market was very dif
ferent from the acute weakness shown In the
later stages of the recent decline. It was
believed that some very large settlements had
been elected by the taking over of Important
holdings of various stocks by private agree
ment. 'Yesterday's demonstration of buying
power was accepted aa evidence that Import
ant financial Interests were prepared to afford
support to the market .If necessary to prevent
Its running into demoralization. Yesterday's
supposition that a vigorous upward movement
of prices had been determined upon by tne
financial powers was seen to be without founda
tion. But this did not prevent a feeling of
comfort over the check to the neadlong down
ward course of prices and the consequent con
traction of loans which was threatening dls-
.aster.
One of the developments of the day was a
steadier tone In the foreign exchange market
which seemed rapidly approaching the gold
Import point. The heavy offerings of the last
few days have not been against commercial
exports, but have been of banxers' loan1 bills
which It was feared represented an urgent
pressure for credits that could not be satis
tied at home. The lighter offerings of this
class of bills today was viewed with satu
faction.
Tomorrow's bank statement promises to
show a small loss in cash, the receipts on
balances from the Interior being so much
smaller than last week as not to wipe out
the loss by the banks to the sub-treasury of
$3,500,000. The outlook for the loan Item ts ob
scure and there Is nothing to Indicate that the
week's liquidation in stocks will be any more
reflected In the Joan Item than was the. dis
appointing case last week.
Bonds were all unchanged on the last call.
Total sales, par value, $2,135,000.

Closes "VVealc and Lower at Cnlcaso.
CHICAGO. Mix. 7. Wheat had a sharp set
back from the advance It made yesterday and
the market ruled weak the greater part of the
day. Opening prices were weak on a severe
decline at Paris, together with excellent har
vest weather In the Northwest, and Septem
ber was oft H6Hc at 79i784e- There was
quite general selling at the start with seme
of the large commission houses .and some
local longs prominent on that side of the
market, and aftsr touching SOc, September
started on the down grade, and although there
were some reactions, the general tendency was
toward lower prices. The Northwest and St.
Louis markets were lower, which added to
the depression here. After selling down to
79Jtic. September rallied somewhat, but the
close was weak and Hc lower at 7SKc.
Notwithstanding the weakness In whsat.
corn prices held comparatively firm, but traa-
lng was of a small volume. The weather gen
erally was more favorable for the growing
crop and the movement was freer, cables were
strong, and but for the decline In wheat, the
market would have made a good advance.
September closed unchanged at 02 &c
Oats ruled fairly active and held steady In
spite of the weakness In wheat. The close
was steady with September He lower at 34V&C
Provisions sold off sharply eany In the day,
due to offerings from outside sources and some
selling by packers, but later a fair demand de
veloped for lard and the whole list responded
to the upturn. September pork closed 20c low
er; September lard was 2Hc higher and ribs
were off 124c

-SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. T. (Special.) Cash
wheat Is still firmly held at figures which
prohibit much trade. Futures were lower in
sympathy with Chicago. Barley was weaker
for spot and futures. Heavy deliveries of bar
ley are being made at tidewater, but chiefly
represent prior purchases for export. Oats
were fairly active and firm. Flour, feedstuffs
and hay were well sustained.
The fruit market was quieter, as usual on
Friday. The city ordinance prevent peddlers
selling on street corners is causing less local
demand. Supplies ot most kinds of .tree fruits
are ample aad prices easy, except for strictly
fancy apples, pears, peaches and -plums. Ar
rivals of Bartlett pears were heavy, but nearly
all go to canners on contract. Figs were still
scarce. Grapes were abundant. Black Mai
volse and Rose, of Peru are now arriving and
Tokay Is expected soon. Cantaloupes and nut
meg melons were weaker.. Watermelons were
steady with some shipping demand. Mexican

SUGAR TRUST WINS.
Important Decisions on "When Im
portations Can Be So biassed.
NEW YORK. Aug. i.-udge Ray, In the
United States Circuit Court, handed down
two decisions today, overruling the de
murrer taken by George R. Bldwell, when
collector o the port, in the suit 01 tne
American Sugar Kenning Company to re
cover duties on certain sugars drought
Jrom Panay, In the Philippine Islands, and
from Porto Rico.
The reflnins: company sued for $58,027.
with interest from October 11, 1S33. In the
matter of the Philippine sugar, and for
$21,723 In the Porto Hico sugar, with in
terest from April IS. 1S39. The allegations
ot the plaintiffs say that the amounts
were illegally extracted and collected. The
action was begun in the Supreme Court
and removed to the United States Circuit
Court. Collector Bldwell demurred oir
the cround. in the Panay matter, that
when the sugar was shipped on March
14. 1899. the Philippine Islands were for
eign territory, as the treaty ot Paris was
not ratified by the Spanish authorities un
til March 19, and the Washington authori
ties until April 1L Judge Ray held:
"It would seem that merchandise Is to
be deemed imported on the day when it
arrived at the port of entry, and not be
fore. The demurrer of the defendant
must be overruled with costs. So ruled.'
The same arguments were advanced by
the Collector and the plaintiff in the Porto
RIcan sugar matter, and the Collector was
again overruled, Judge tRay stating- that
"this court is of the opinion that the
transportation of goods on the high seas
was an act preliminary to importation,
and not any part of the Importation. Had
the vessel with its cargo been lost at sea,
it is clear that the sugars would not have
been Imported Inta the United States, nor
would they have been imported had they
been thrown overboard during stress of
weather."
"The best pill I ever used," is the fre
quent remark of purchasers of Carter's
Little Liver Pills. "When you try them
you will say the same.
