TRADE WILL BE GOOD
Splendid Outlook for Fall
Jobbing. -Business,
HOW IN THE QUIET MONTHS
Wbeaticrowers and Shippers Apart
in Their Vievra Activity in Hops

"With the warm weather on and a large por
tion of the population at the Summer resorts,
the Jobbing as -well as the retail trade leels
the effect of the usual August dullness. In
merchandise lines, preparations are being made
for the Fall trade, which, from present Indi
cations, will be entirely satisfactory. The
handling of fresh produce absorbs much of the
attention of the Front street trade, as tha
season is on in full blast. New wheat is
changing bands slowly, as farmer's views are
above those of exporters. Hops are active
and slowly advancing, as the time for the
opening of the new market approaches. Con
e!derabl business Is passing In wool at firm
prices.
WHEAT Considerable new wheat has been
bought during the week, but at the moment
the market Is Quieter. Purchases made so tar
have been principally on milling account, ex
porters not belnc; able to pay ruling prices.
Farmers are stiff In their views as to what
wheat should be worth, but shippers believe
that when the milling demand is satisfied,
values will decline to a lower level that will
permit of business for export. Present condi
tions. It Is said, cannot last long. Under the
circumstances, nothing Is doing In the freight
market. Of crop and market conditions in Eu
rope. J. "W. Bush, of London, writes in the
.Northwestern Miller of August S:
The wheat market has been In .an apathetic
condition during last week and prices have been
difficult to maintain In the face of weak Amer
ican advices and favorable harvest weather.
Han-eat Is now in full swing In the southern
half of France, In Austria-Hungary. In Rou
manla and In South Russia. After the .extra
ordinary character of the early part of tho
season and the many complaints which were
made regarding the crops, the trade, as I have
already advised you. Is expeoting a much
smaller European crop than last year. During
the past month, however, the weather has been
so favorable that opinions have been modified,
whether correctly or not, remains to be seen.
Meanwhile it is difficult to move buyers out
of the policy of reserve and will continue eu.
doubtless, until some more definite news be
received with regard to the crops. AVe have
some relatively cheap offers of new American
Winter wheat but the first samples show that
garlic Is present and our millers consequently
light shy of this wheat, preferring hard Kan
sas at GGJOd per quarter more money. There Is,
moreover, a plentiful supply of Calcutta wheat.
which is a favorite with our millers when It
comes to hand tolerably clean, as well as of
South Russian wheat. It may Interest you to
know that the pricft of No. 2 red Winter wheat
Is 27a Cd per 480 pounds c i. f. for promp
shipment, of No. 2 Calcutta wheat. 20s Cd
30s per 492 pounds c L f.; of No. 2 hard Kan
sas. 282Ss 3d per 4 SO pounds c i. f . and of
South Russian wheat. 27s Cd?30s per 49:
pounds c i. f., while No. 1 hard Manitoba is
at 31s per 480 pounds c i. f .
Tho feature of the week Is the publication
of the oniclal French crop report for July 1.
whl-h compared with June 1 shows a slight im
provement, but is still rather below last year's
condition on July 1. The report Is summed up

I may explain that the northwest and north
produce about 40 per cent of the entire French
crop, and the next three districts, northeast.
west and center 33 per cent, leaving 25 pe:
cent for the remainder. The best outlook Is
therefore In the least important wheat growing
sections of the country. The acreage is about
035,000 acres less than last year, owing to
A r.tor killing, so that the Indicated total crop
is put at 38,000,000 quarters, and as Franco
consumes annually 43,500,000 quarters that
counay will have to Import at least 4,000,000
quarters next season, stocks of old wheat being
practically exhausted.
From Germany the latest accounts are that
tho crops have suffered from floods In the
North but are satisfactory In the South; the
estimated crop Is 15,000,000 quarters, against
17,000,000 last year; during the past season
Germany has Imported net about S.000.000 quar
ters.
Austria-Hungary complains of damage by
excessive rains and the latest Hungarian offi
cial report estimates the wheat crop at 17.
675,000 quarters, against 21,300,000 quarters
last year.
Italy looks for a yield nearly equal to last
year's, which was over 10.000.000 quarters, and
nearly C, 000.000 quarters has been Imported
In the past 12 months.
Spain will not have so good a crop as last
year and will probably have to Import more.
next season, than tho 450,000 quarters which
have sufficed for the present season.
Belgium and Holland will, during the present
season, show a total net import of nearly
B, 000,000 quarters, and will require very little
less the forthcoming season.
Tho crop In tho United Kingdom aDoears
better than a close examination shows It to
be and the crop may not reach 0,750,000 quar
ters, against 7.500.000 quarters last year. With
fine weather, however, the quality will be
much better. During the 12 months ended July
tl, the X'nlted Kingdom's net imports will prob
ably reach 25,000,000 quarters; and during the
ensuing season will not be less than 24,500,000
Quarters.
From this brief summary you will be able
to Judge approximately what the European re
quirements ior next season are likely to b.
In my opinion they will not fall far short of
60,000,000 quarters; which with 6,000,000 quar
ters required by non-European countries, means
a total requirement of 65,000.000 quarters.
FLOUR AND FEED The local flour market
Is exceedingly strong and every indication
pclnts to an advance at an early day. Flour
qu.-atlons are clearly too low in view of the
jrstnt prices asked by farmers for wheat.
IV s of some outside brands have already
been raised. There Is a good foreign demand
f:r f.:ur, but business Is net as heavy as It
wiu.J be If the available supply were larger.
When millers can get & sufficient quantity
ct new wheat and turn it Into flour there will
be xzsre activity in the export trade If the
foreigners are willing to pay the prices thn
asked. In this connection It Is Mining to note
that United States Consul Henry B. Miller, at
N.u Chwang reports that the number of flour
mills at Harbin has Increased to six. with a
telly production of a little over 1474 barrels.
This flour is pronounced entirely satisfactory
la quality wherever It is used, and Is gradually
controlling the market of Manchuria. It has
reached Port Arthur In small quantities, but
has not yet Interfered to any appreciable ex
tent with the importation of American fleur.
although doubtless It wM have this effect in
time.
The mill feed market continues firm in sym
pathy with the strength In wheat and some
advances are probable soon.
HOPS Activity has ruled in the local hop
market during the week and prices have shown
considerable firmness. A number ot sales, most
of them small, hare been made at 17$1S cents.
Contracts are also at a better figure, several
being made at 18S18 cenfL In the trade it Is
believed that the present movement Is due to
manipulation by Eagllsh bulls and it is said
there is nothing- in the situation to warrant
the higher price being paid. Nevertheless
growers are profiting by the spurt and the
carry-over stock will be much less than was
anticipated. Reports from the yards are more
favorable. Lice are gradually disappearing with
the hot weather and not much fears are ex
pressed on this score. Reports from the Amer
ican River, in California, are that picking has
begun there already and will be general in
the early yards next week.
Cable advices from England Indicated more
favorable weather for the growing crop. Jto
changes were reported from the Continent.
The Waterville Times of August 4 says of
bops: "Hops that started well are now growing
nicely under the Influence of favorable weather.
The yield from these ,wlll be good, but there
are so many that will not amount to xnucn,
even under the most favorable conditions, that
the yield for the sutowill be small, compared
to what It used to be in the best years."
The Otsego Republican of August 5 says ot
hops: "The outlook for the new crop Is very
uncertain Just now. The hops are Just coming
out of the burr. If conditions continue favor
able from now on & small crop, a little larger
than last year, of good Quality, will be har
vested. Considerable complaint of blight Is
heard, and it -is yet impossible to tell what the
result will be."
WOOL The local market Is moderately act
ive, though the larger part of the clip has
passed out of first hands. The latest sales show
that the strength of prices has been fully
maintained.
The Americas' Wool and Cotton Reporter of
August 0 sal's: .
The market has quieted down considerably
during the past week, but there is still -a fair
business going, with the demand pretty well
distributed over the various grades of wool.
although the chief Inquiry Is still tor medium
and lower stock. A little more call for fine
and fine medium grades of territory Is noted
here and there and one house reports quite a
sizable business In this class of stock; but the
bulk of the week's transactions have been In
the lower wools.
It could hardly be expected that much activ
ity would be experienced In Oregon wools,
after the large business last week, but Inter
est in Oregon wool has not subsided by any
means, and about 110,000 pounds have Itoen
moved the past week at unchanged but firm
prices, with the possibility that there may
be more business put through next week. The
best wools sell at about S2&33 cents, cleans
The Reporter quotes Oregon wools at Eastern
seaboard markets as follows: Eastern staple,
17lSc per pound; Eastern Oregon choice
clothing, 15lCc; Eastern Oregon average,
1314c: Eastern Oregon heavy, 12013c; Valley

18g0c; Valley Oregon No. 3, 1819c; Valley
Oregon lamb3, 10 17c
PRODUCE Melons, continue to be the feature
In the fruit trade, but peaches would be a
close second If stocks were larger. From two
to a dozen cars of watermelons arrive dally,
but a strong city and country demand keeps
the supply down. Among receipts yesterday
was a car of late Valencia oranges, probably
the last of the season. Pears are scarce and
none will be available until Friday's steamer
Is unloaded. Crawford peaches are selling at
00 cents and local Hale's early at 60070c.
Fuller arrivals arc expected shortly. Vegetables
of all kinds aro In good supply with prices
steady.
The farm produce market is oversupplled.
Eggs are especially abundant, weak and likely
to go lower. Chickens, Springs particularly.
are overabundant and the local supply Is only
kept down by .unloading on other cities. But'
ter, which was scarce a week ago. is again
plentiful and prices have steadied down some
what.
GROCERIES. NUTS. ETC Midsummer dull
ness has settled down on the grocery trade.
yet Indications tor Fall business are quite
satisfactory. No price changes of any mate
rial importance have occurred during the week.
Sugar Is moving in good-slced lots and flour.
as noted above. Is a good buy.
The meat trade Is affected, as usual at this
season, by the diminished population, but prices
are held fairly steady. The only change of Im
portance In bog products was a decline of
cent in sausages.
TVntshliiicton Crop Report..
The Washington crop report says In part:
The whole week was one of Ideal weather, for
the small amount of hay-making that remained,
and for the harvesting ot Winter wheat. The
Winter wheat cutting Is now finished, or near
ly so. In most localities. What threshing has
been done has &ewn variable yields, accord
ing to locality and cultivation. In Walla Walla
County the yield Is about average on hill lands,
and below average on the low lands. The
quality Is excellent. In Adams and Lincoln
Counties the yield Is fair. Oats are ripening,
and cutting Is In progress. Tne yield Is omv
iwhat short In the eastern counties, but very
good in the western counties. Spring wheat
has filled well and Is maturing rapidly. Cutting
has begun in a few fields, but will be general
about August 17. On account of the July rains,
and favorable weather since, the general yield
will be somewhat tbetter than was expected a
month ago. The straw is short, but the heads
are well filled, and the wheat will be plump
and of high grade.
Rain at this time would bo bad for the
wheat and oats harvest, but It Is much needed
by late vegetables, fruits, meadows and pas
tures. The latter are becoming short and
dry, and the roads very dusty. Potatoes In gen
eral are doing very well, though there are &
few reports of blight. In such cases. It is said,
the tops are large and thrifty looking, but
there are few potatoes In the hills. On the
whole, however, the potato crop gives promise
of being a large one.
Payette Shipping; Melons.
PAYETTE, Idaho, Aug. 12. tSpeclal.)
Three cars of watermelons have been shipped
from this station and cantaloupes are coming
In from 35 to 50. crates per day, which sell at
$3.50 per crate. Poaches are worth CO cents
per crate. The second cutting ot alfalfa Is be
ing stacked this week.

WALL STREET IS HOPEFUL
EXCOURAGIXG OUTLOOK. REFLECT
ED BY UPWARD MOVEMENT.

General Advance ThrOBSk
OBt the List.
NEW YORK. Aug. 12. Wall street's more
hopeful views of the outlook were reflected in
the movement of prices upward with which the
day's operations began. The advance beome
so rapid as to overrun the newly-awakened de
mand and attract some selling to take profits,
which caused some hesitation.
A feature ot the market was the dullness
which developed In reactions, due to the
throwing over of stocks at the advancing prices.
The speculative element, made up o profes
sional traders, played as Important part In the
movement and undoubtedly buying to cover
short contracts was on a large scale. Yester
day's market showed signs of being oversold.
the general liquidation having failed to keep
pace with the selling bears. The fact was de
veloped in today's market that there are buy
ers who will come In on an advance who would
refrain from buying at the lower leveL There
Is a large volume of selling which disappears
from the market when prices go upward. Of
course, this Is especially true of forced sellers
by reason of margins wiped out and shrinkage
of collateraL But it Is also true that holders
of securities are prompted to sell them when
the price Is declining who will hold when
prices begin to advance. The selling of col
lateral out ot loans and the contraction of
credits seemed to have disappeared toda).
Aside from these considerations there was no
marked change In conditions to account for the
larger buying of securities.
Rates for time money continue very firm.
The continued heaviness ot foreign exchange
causes active discussion of possible early gold
exports. London Is buying quite freely of
stocks. The increasing sense of security In
the safety of the ripening crops Is encourage
ment to offer exchange bills In the market for
long periods, to be covered at maturity when
the export of the new crop Is In progress. Tha
Weather Bureau's weekly summary on corn-
yesterday added to the encouragement caused
by the monthly report published the day be
fore. In the generally brighter outlook, hopes
were expressed of a good bank statement, al
though there was 'no very obvious foundation
for this In any known department.
Late In the day the market came under the
Influence of a flood of rumors affecting the
disposition of the Seaboard Air Line It Is sig
nificant of the change In sentiment that a
proposition which promised a large addition
to an already largo volume of securities tailed
to cause the chill of apprehension which the
market has shown at all recent suggestions
of the creation of new securities. The leader
ship assumed by Rock Island In the late move
ment foreshadowed the 'announcement Just be-'
fore the close of a deal for Seaboard Air Line
by Rock Island. The gains reached 1 to 3
points for the principal active stocks and
more than that for specialties. The market
closed very strong and active.
, The general tone of the bond market was
strong. Total sales, par value, $2,000,000.

FIRM TOXE IX WHEAT,
All Cereals Close Hiirher In the Chi
cago Market.
CHICAGO. Aug. 12. A firm undertone per
vaded the grain pits today and September
whe.it closed 8c higher. September corn
was up c. oats were up c, but provisions
were off from 7c to 10c '
Trading In wheat was fairly active and the
gereral sentiment was Inclined to the bull
slds under the'lnfluence of continued light re
ceipts and a better casn and export demand.
The opening was somewhat irregular, the dls-
tant deliveries being steady to firm, while
the September option was easier as a result
of lower cables. September was off c to
c at the start, opening at 79679c to 70c,
selling up early to ,80SOc The advance
was due mainly to the active demand for De
cember and May. with but little on the mar
ket. On the advances there was realizing in
all months, but the feature was the heavy
liquidation of September, which resulted In
that month declining to 70c Notwithstand
ing the large amount thrown on the market,
the declines were only temporary, reactions oc
curring whenever the selling had ceased. The
strength in corn was a help In advancing
prices late In the day and caused a firm close,
September being up c at 8080c
The sentiment In the com pit was decidedly
bullish on the cold weather throughout the
corn section, snow being reported at Omaha.
The close was at top figures, September being
c higher at 62c
There was only a moderate trade In oats.
but prices were firm throughout the day, duo
partly to the strength In corn and partly to
the lack ot offerings. September closed c
higher at 34c
A liberal run of hogs and easier prices at the
yards caused lower prices In provisions. Trad
ing was extremely quiet and the market
showed little fluctuations. September pork
closed 7610c lower at $13.27; September
lard was off 7Q10c, while ribs were down 10c
at $7.82.
