There are few features to report In the trade

to be Quiet in grocery and merchandise lines,
but Jobbers report the outlook ahead as en
tire r satisfactory. The trade In fruit and
other green produce Is of Immense volume.

produce has moved- slower than , last week.
Hops are quiet, as buyers and sellers are apart.
la their views. "Wool Is moderately active.
Borne business Is doing In wheat, but -the
market has not fully opened.
WHEAT The grain that Is now changing
hands In the interior is wholly on milling ac
count. Prices offered farmers up the country
are from 3 to 5 cents above export values, but
as long as there is a demand from millers.
there Is no likelihood that growers will look
at figures below those now quoted. When the
mill demand has been satisfied, shippers be
lieve prices will drop to a basis that will per
mit some export business being aone.
Of crop and market conditions In Europe,
)J. W. Bush, of Londoni writes in the North
western Miller of August IS:
Very wet and ungenlal weather has stiffened
the wheat market this week, but so far It has
not led to much activity in the demand. Prices
are. however, rather higher, and there is little
dlsooaltlon to sell except from Russia and
Roumanla. In both those countries the har
vest has been favored by the weather and
some very flue samples of new wheat naie ai
ready been shown.
It can not be expected that the Russian crop
will eaual last year's abnormally large yieia,
but it will doubtless be a good average, and
as there must be fairly large stocks of old
wheat In the country, although they are not
visible In the ports, the available quantity
for export next season may not be far short
of the amount exported during the present
season, which will reach 135.OW.wo Dusn
els against only S0.O00.O00 bushels last sea
son and 76.000.000 In 1000-1001,
Russia. In fact. Is likely again to be the
chl"f competitor of the United States during
the coming season. Her exports in the season
lust closing are the largest since 1S91-1S95,
when they reached a total of 145.000.000 bush
els. Roumanla's exports in me pasi et
eon have amounted to about 45,000.000 bushels,
against 40.000,000 In each of the two previous
seasons, and In the forthcoming season are ex
pected to be very little short of the past sea
eon's total.
India's contribution this season, however.
Is likely to be a large one. Since April 1
the total exports are 2,035.000 quarters, against
only fiOO.000 quarters last year.
In my lotter of July 1 I suggested that the
requirements of European Importing countries
are likely to be as large as in tne past sea
son. This. I think. I can reiterate, and un
less the weather soon changes for the bet
ter the requirements of England, Franee and
Germany will be even larger.
At present there' Is no sign of cutting wheat
In this country 'and farmers are beeemlns
anxious. In Franco the aroe unfavorable
weather prevails and the position Is besoming
critical, for the great wheat fields of tho cen
ter and north are ready for the sickle and are
suffering unquestionable damage from the
present heavy rain storms.
In Germany the latest official report (July
20) gives the following result, compared with
the two previous years:
Wheat 2.2 3.3
Bye 2-3 2.3 2.0
Potatoes 2.S 2.0 2.3
The symbol "2" represents a good yield;
"3" a fair one and '4" a bad one.
In Hungary, tbe latest official estimate of
tho wheat crop is 18,100.000 quarters, against
21,300.000 quarters last year; while In Aus
tria heavy storms have done so much dam
age that the crop may not much exceed S.OoO,
000 quarters, against 0,250.000 last year.
My present estimate of the probable require
ments of European countries, compared with
the actual Imports In the 12 months cnde4
July 31 (approximate) Is as follows (hundreds
omitted):
1003-02.
bushels.

Total Europe 462.750 442.000
Total non-Europe countries. 52,000 C2.O00

It Is rather early to give such an estimate
as that above, but I beHeve the figures will
be found to be approximately correct, and they
certainly are, of. Importance to the trade In
America.
FLOUR, FEED, ETC The flour market Is
firm, but the exiected advance has not yet
taken place. Local business Is only moder
ately good, the bakers and other heavy buy
era having already laW In their stacks. No
new export business of large dtBienstons has
come forward during the week, and the sblp-
plng trade can be expected to be qutet until
tho millers aro better stocked.
MHIfeed Is quiet and somewhat lower. Hay
Is In good supply and Is also caster. New'oats
are oemtng In quite freely a4 are quete4
steady. Feed barley Is In gool demand and
firm.
HOPS There Is a good deaaad frem brew
ers tor Oregen hps and deatera are freely
offering 20 cents fer 1P02. as weM as willing
to OMtaet for new hps at the same figure.
but growers are lrss Inclined to do business
at IIhm pries. The result Is" a momentary
dullness Ir the market. Farmers have their
eyes n a 23-coat market bofere the new crop
1k bated, but In the trade it 1 not believed
there wilt be a further advance.
The New Trk Journal of Commerce of Aug
ust 14 says:
The markets on the Coast wore reported as
holding firm, the feature being the Indifference
shows by growers to sH remaining vtocks
of 1002 hots or accept contractu fer 1003 hone
Elds were freely made for choice 1002 hops of
20 cents, bat with little success, dealers stat
ing that they were unable to purchase sap
rile of Importance: growers also turned down
bids of 2d cents for desirable growths of IMS
hops. It was learned that earlier tn Jhe week
a sale was made by second hands of 75 bate?
Russian Rivers at 16- cents, and that a Hne
of good Orgens also heW by second hands
could, he purchased at 10 cents. Crop pros
pects In. .California have improved some
what latterly, but they are offset by a lss
favorable outlook for the Oregon crop. It being
stated that there was a disposition shown
to iJwer estimates atightly of the yield
this crot). The advice received from up tne
state reported firm markets, and the present
outlook for the crops Is not consicerea promis
ing. Latest cable advices received from Eng
land reported the weather cool and showery.
The local market was firm. Demand was light,
but there was anabseace el sellers. It being
stated that choice Oregons would be ciniculi
to purchase at 23s.
The WatervllbJ Times of August 11 say:
Lice are generally prevalent In the yards
about here, and some of them are badly af
flicted, so mnch eo that If more favorable
weather does not prevail the crop will he
seriously Injured. Dry, hot weather Is what
Is needed. Hops are going from the burr Into
the hop. and It Is a rather critical stage In
the growth of the crop. There have been no
sales of the 1002 crop about here of late, and '
no contracting for the 1003 growth Is being
done.
The Otsego Republican of August 12 says:
Lice are Increasing In numbers In many sec
tions about here, and growers are -much dis
couraged on account of them. Unless some
thing happens to get rid of the lice many-
yards will not pick a box of hops. 'Prices oa
last year's crop have hardened somewhat.
WOOL Though the bulk of the crop has
been shipped, there Is still a fair amount of
activity in Oregon wools and the good prices
of the early part of the season have been
maintained.
The American Wool and Cotton Reporter of
August 13 said:
The market has been a shade quieter the
past week, but there has been no change of
consequence in Its essential features. The sales
continue to hang around the 4.000,000 pound
mark, which formerly used to be considered
a normal week's business In this market; and
If that was the case formerly. It Is easy to
see that 4.000.000 pounds represent a quiet
week's business now. Conditions have not
changed sufficiently t create any material
improvement In California wools, and Oregon
wools do not appear to have figured In any
appreciable measure In the recent trading.
The Reporter quotes Oregon wools at Eastern
seaboard markets as follows: Eastern staple,
17HlSc; Eastern Oregon choice clothing. 15
rl6c; do average, 13014c: do heavy, 12 13c;
Valley Oregon No. 1, 10S20c; do No. 2. 10g20c;
do No. 3, IS&lOc: do lambs, IGSlTc
PRODUCE Receipts of California fruit are
still large, but the bulk of the supply received
on Front street now comes from local territory.
This Is not the case with watermelons, how
ever. California holds the market for melons.
but the Oregon product will begin coming In
In a few days. The Dalles and Rogue River
are already supplying their own territory
with melons. Receipts of Oregon peaches are
Increasing and Oregon plums are In heavy sup
ply. Fruit prices have shown little change
during the week and vegetable quotations have
also been steadily maintained.
The egg market Is in poor condition. Sup
plies are large and the demand slow and
prices consequently weak. Poultry has moved
better lu tho last few days and hens and
old chickens are firm. Springs ere weak and
lower.
Butter Is firm, as stocks are cleaning up
better.
GROCERIES. MEATS. .ETC There has been
no change of Importance In the staple gro
cery list this week.
Receipts of livestock this week have been
up to the average. Prices have undergone no
change, but cattle have continued weak and
bogs and sheep steady. Dressed beef, mutton
and lambs have been quoted & shade lower.
Dressed hogs are unchanged. Provisions are
as quoted a week ago.
"VVnKhlngrton Crop Report.
The AVashlngton weekly crop bulletin says
In part:
In the western section the week was mostly
cloudy and cool, with a light rain on the
13th. and a sprinkle on the 15th. ICth and
17th. While the rain was very beneficial to
root crops and gardens, It was quite Insuf
ficient, as much more Is greatly needed, for
pastures are becoming short In all sections.
This has been an Ideal week for the har
vesters and threshers In the eastern section.
where it has been clear, warm and dry. Har
vesting of Winter wheat Is about finished.
exeept In Stevens and Whitman Counties.
Threshing Is now In full progress and grain
is being hauled to the warehouses. There
will be a fair average yield, the quality Is
fine, except In a ftw localities, where soma
smut Is reported.
In Spokane County oats and barley will -be
good crops; sugar beets and all root crops
are looking fine. Oats in the Sound country
are "reported heavy and lodged In some, places.
Hop spraying Is finished and the yield will
be very good.
Idnho Crop Report.
The Idaho weekly crop bulletin says In part:
Correspondents in eastern counties report
grain ripening very rapidly under the Influence
of hot, dry weather, and harvest as becoming
general. In other sections harvest Is approach
ing completion. The yield of grain is expected
to equal he average, as a whole, and the
quality Is generally good; dry farm grain In
some localities Is better than was expected.
'Harvest of second crop alfalfa Is extending
Into the more elevated districts In the eastern
portion of the state. Except where there has
been a scarcity of water, the yield is good.
Ranges continue to fail, causing stock to suffer
In limited localities.
Sugar beets are la good condition. With
few exceptions potatoes are yielding well. The
acreage of melons Is somewhat reduced, but
the yield is good, and the quality Is excellent.
Shipping of apples has been begun, and other
fruits will soon be ready for shipment. The
weather has been especially favorable for rapid
development of fruit."

SHARP SETBACK IN PRICES
REACTIONARY FORCES PREPO-
DERAXT IX STOCK. MARKET.
Effect of the Rejection of the Canal
Treaty oa Speculation Activity
la Copper.
NEW YORS, Aug. 10. Tho reactionary
forces developed In yesterday's late stock mar
ket became preponderant la today's stock mar
ket and caused a sharp backset In prices.
Yesterday's profit taking left the market In a
weaker technical position The concerted sell
ing an through the list caused the belief that
large bear party had been organized among
the professional traders to contest the ad
vance.
As for the news developments that were an
Influence, an Important place must be given
to the question raised whether the rejection
of the Panama Canal treaty by the Colom
bian Senate is to be regarded as final. Yes
terday's news of the rejection was made much
of by the bulls as relieving the exchange mar
ket of the need of supplying means for re
mittance on the canal payment and leaving
the Treasury Department free to use meas
ures of relief for the money market. Buyers
this factor were naturally disappointed
by today's revised view of the canal treaty
outlook. Much attention was devoted to a
circumstantial report that the legislators who
are locked to frame the legislation have been
unable to agree, and that any currency meas
ure at this coming session of the regular ses
sion of Congress is improbable.
The selling was much concentrated, a single
commission house disposing of many thousands
shares during the day.
The concentrated selling largely converged
on Amalgamated Copper, and Rock Island was
leader In the reaction. The low tempera
tures In the corn belt and the necessity of
early warm weather to Insure the crop from
frost were considerably dwelt upon. There
was a considerable covering movement at the
beginning of the last hour, but the beat
made a fresh onslaught and forced a weuc
closing at the lowest of the day. Declines in
the active list ran from I to 4 points. Som
early strength In the bond market gave way
to heaviness In sympathy with stocks. Total
sales, par value. $1,952,000.
united States bands were unchanged on call.

CHICAGO WHEAT MARKET.
Stampede in September Option Fol
lowed by Sharp Rally.
CHICAGO, Aug. 10. There was a fairly
steady opening In wheat, due to reports of
continued wet weather la the United Kingdom,
and September opened a shade lower to a shade
higher at 60X680c Local longs showed
a disposition early In the day to buy back
some of the wheat .they had sold out during the
past few days, and were encouraged In that
by the action of cash houses, which bought
freely of the September delivery. This de
mand resulted In a better tone during the
first half hour when September sold up to
hlc, but later In the day reports of good
weather In the Northwest, together with a
better yield than had been expected, caused
heavy liquidation, and prices declined rap
Idly. A break of 2c In the price of the cash
commodity at Minneapolis, heavy receipts at
all primary points and light clearances added
to the weakness and started a stampede to sell
by local longs which "resulted In September
declining to 70;c Covering by shorts during
the last halt hour caused a sharp rally and
the close was near the top. with September
s6c higher at Slc
There was some covering in corn early In
the session on the firmness in wheat, and with
light offerings the market became firmer.
September closed a shade higher at 51c
Oats were Independently strong throughout
the day. September closed c higher at
34c
Previsions were without support and con
tinued selling by longs forced prices to a
lower level. Trading was dull the entire day.
The close was weak; with September pork
down 15c. lard -waa off THSlOc. while-; ribs
were down 5c.
