THE MORNING OREGONIAN, THURSDAY, SBPTEMBEE 10, 1903. ,S. T i ' i ALL DEMAND GOOD obbing Trade Better Than Was Anticipated. IEAVY BUSINESS "IN FRUITS )ecline in "Wheat Prices Checks Sales in the Interior Hop Mar lf.et A'ot Tet Opened Lo cal Price Current. No complaint la heard from Jobbers of the Ihoracter or volume of Fall trade, -which Is taw under full swine. Earlier In the season he outlook was not for an unusually heavy business. In view of the enormous trade of last 'all, but the results of the past two -weeks It local relling- have certainly exceeded ex- ectatlons. And, .'what Is more, the Indications Lrc that the movement -will continue unabated through the rest of the season. Hlch prices cr iroductr, and good. If not bumper, crops In every line have put the population of the orthwest in good financial condition. The we-k has seen the usual activity In the fresh prcduce markets Incident to the season. eroding in -wheat was not so active as in the preceding -week. The hop market has not bpened yet. "WHEAT After considerable activity at tho ppenlng of the wheat season, business has fallen off, so far as Portland buyers are con cerned. The dropping of bids Is responsible for the lessening of activity. A less urgent iemand from millers of this section, and con- equently less keen competition has resulted In a lowering of prices of from 1 to 3 cents. Che result has been that the decline has bhecked sales. Farmers have not yet altered their views as to -what their wheat Is worth. id a wide range exists between asking prices and export values. For club wheat In this aarket 78 cents Is quoted, and bluesteam Is luotable at 82 cents and Valley at 80 cents. Summing up market and crop conditions aboard, J. W. Rush, of London, writes to le Northwestern Miller of September follows: Tho weather continued very unsettled with frequent rain, and the harvest in England id In the north of France is exceedingly ackward. Hardly a slgle sample of new Eag. llsh wheat is yet visible on the English mar tcets, and red Is so scarce that It is worth 3133s per quarter. There is, therefore, an inusually large consumption of foreign wheat, so that the very large imports averaging over 9,000 quarters per week In the last six veeks have led to only a very slight increase our stocks. Another two or three weeks of wet weather rould simply mean disaster to the British fcrop, which, in any case, must be a small one. probably not exceeding C.O00.000 quarters, and thus requiring 25,500,000 quarters of foreign to supplement it during the forthcoming sea- Bon. In France, however, the outlook seems to ivo Improved. Present estimates of the prob. able total crop are better than those of a few Iweeks ago. It is believed that over 40.000,000 (quarters will bo reaped, and tlus leave a de ficiency to be supplied from abroad of only laDcut J.OOO.000 quarters. This presupposes lowever, that the two-fifths of the crop, still I to ha harvested in the north, will be safely gathered. If tho weather be wet the new cheat will be unmlllable, and foreign wheat will be needed at once. Meanwhile the French aarkets take the optimistic view, for where Inew wheat Is offering It is obtainable at equal Ito 343 0d3Ss per 480 pounds, which la 4ff5s jper quarfer below the importing level of for- leign wheat. Germany complains of damage bv excessive jralnfall and lk, still Importing foreign wheat lireuiy. ic may do estimated mat this country Iwlll require to import fl.OOO.O&O quarters in the lensuing season, against 8,300.000 in the past lone Belgium and Holland do not etow much rneat. but will probably produce less than usual this year, so that probably eauallv as Imuch foreign aid will be required as in the ipast 12 months, viz., 8,000,000 quarters. Italy reports an average crop, so that It is Iprobable that 5,500,000 quarters of foreign iwiu suillce to cover the reaulrements In 11003-04, compared with about 0.250.000 auar- iters in 1U02-03. Spain will, on the contrary, have to import iratner more tnan last season, as will also Ibwitzerland and Greece, but Scandinavia has la tetter crop than last year, and will not re- Iqulrc so much help from abroad. Summing up tho position, I venture to suit- Igest that tho probable requirements of tho importing countries In the season of 1003-04 Iwlll compare as follows with the actual Im ports cf the past season: 1903-4, 1002-3. quarters, quarters, I United Kingdom 25.500.000 25,500.000 3.1100,000 2,400,000 and iFrar.co Germany.

The point which stands out clearly to my mind Is that xwhIIe tho importing countries look like requiring 512,000,000 bushels in the season Just begun, America and Canada may have only about 210,000,000 bushels to supply. To obtain 300,000.000 bushels from all the other countries will. In my opinion, be found I difficult at anything below the present level of prices; such a total has at any rate never Ibefore been reached by these "other countries." FLOUR, FEED, ETC The local Sour market I enjoys a good demand, and prices are firm as quoted, patents being lOcents higher than a week ago. From an export point of view, conditions have undergone no change in the week. There Is a better demand from the lOrlent, hut at lower prices. Buyers there are I anxious to got tho flpur. and will take It If values here are lowered to meet their views. No new business of importance Is reported from other foreign quarters. The feed market Is strong, with bran and shorts $1 per ton higher than last week, tho advance being due to the rise in wheat. Deal ers In oats are interested in theVoutcome of the bidding for the Government contract. This business has not affected local prices dn any way. Barley Is as last quoted, and hay' la un changed. HOPS A few orders are out for 1902 hops. but no new business in the new-crop has come to light yet. Baling is .under way, and sam- Iples arc coming in slowly. No particular ac tivity can be expected until the samples get East From all Indications, hops will sell this season on their actual merit, and the element cf speculation will be largely eliminated. According to the Custom-House returns, the I total exports of hops rrom the United States for the year ended August 31, were 8,850,735 I pounds, of which 7,050,829 pounds were shipped from New York. Imports were 5,993,010 I pounds. Including 3,919,114 pounds received through the Port of New York. Eastern hopmon estimate- the yield of New I York State at from SO.OOJL-to CO.000 bales. Tho "Waterville Times of September 1 says: Just at present the outlook for bops Is not the brightest. It has got to that point that la many yards, to save any of the crop It will be necessary to pick them at once. In alniost all the yards there are spots where the vine is left standing, the hops being too poor to pick. Vermin have made disastrous Inroads In far too mary yards, and growers generally feel that the sooner they got their hops picked tho etter. The early hops have all been picked. mfl work Is now general In tho lato yards. Reports from the Humphrey yards are to the effect that the crop Is .much lighter than last year from the same acreage. Not enough of me iaio crop nasMeen picicec.yet to enaoic a fair estimate toe made, though a short crop is looked for. Bales of Humphreys have been made from 20c to 30c The high winds of Saturday night also damaged some yards con siderably by blowing down many poles. Fortu nately the hops on them can be picked at once, and Drobably saved. English cables continued to report firm mar kets, and that,, owing to tho spread of the mold, there will be a considerable percentage of the crop, especially in East Kent, of a low" grade, and a wide range of prices Is antici pated. WOOL The Oregon wool markets are quiet, nearly all of the clip having been disposed of. Tho American "Wool and Cotton Reporter, of the 3d said of the Eastern situation: "While trade Is not yet active, there Is some business belngdbne all the time, and during tne past few days a slight improvement in tne Inquiry has been noticeable. Somo of the larger mills are showing somewhat more of a dispo sition to take hold. Tho demand, however, ex cept In a very few Instances, has not been for any sizable amounts, the greater portion of the business effected being In territories and medium fleeces In lots of from 60,000 to 100,000 pounds each. The Reporter quotes Oregon wools at Eastern seaboard markets as follows: Eastern staple. kllSc; Eastern Oregon, choice clothing. lSJMCc; Eastern Oregon, average, 1314c; Eastern Oregon, heavy, N 1213c; Valley, Ore gon, No. 1, 1920c; Valley, Oregon, No. 2, 10Sj20c; Valley, Oregon, No. 8, lSglOc; Valley, j Oregon, lambs, 1617c Advices from Australia report the new clip of wool In that country as being in good con dition. They have had more rains than during the average of late years, and with good feed tho wool clip Is very satisfactory, although It will show a heavier shrinkage, the fleeces being more yolky than during a dry season. Shearing has Just begun in some sections cY Australia, and if theso wools aro needed In this country. It will be after the turn of tho year before any arrivals can bo looked for. PRODUCE Although weather conditions have not been entirely favorable for the fruit trad. a heavy business has been done nevertheless Tho market Is liberally supplied with all sea. sonable varieties, nearly all from this state or "Washington. "Watermelons are particularly abundant, and cantaloupes are coming in by tho carload from the Yakima country. Craw. ford peaches have been scarce, but their place has bee.i taken by other varieties. Prices for fruit generally have ruled steady. Green vege tables aro In good supply. Oregon onions are scarce. The feature of the country produce trade has been the egg market. Supplies have been scanty for the whole week the price has gono up to 23 cents. A good shipping demand has helped to keep local stocks low. Poultry re ceipts have been better, but still the supply Is below the demand, and quotations, especially on chickens, are very strong. Butter is also firm at 27 cents for creamery brands, and receipts are inadequate, put prices are not likely to bo advanced, as any rise here would bring In Eastern butter. GROCERIES. MEATS, ETC. Tho week has passed without any change of Importance in the staple grocery list. Receipts of livestock have been fairly liberal and prices have held their own. The move ment in dressed meats has been steadyf with no change, except a slight advance In small veal. Hog products are as quoted a week ago. Washington Crop Report. Tlie Washington weekly crop bulletin say in part: t Spring wheat cutting is completed with tne exception of a few lato fields. Threshing is, pernaps, about one-half completed. The yiem, aitnougb considerably below the aver age. Is, however, of such excellent Quality. and so much above what was expected at one time during the Summer, that, consld erlng the good price, growers are well sat lsficd. Oats have been a very good crop west of the mountains. Corn has been cut in Kllcki tat County, and potatoes are about all dug there. In other sections the digging of po tatoes has Just begun. A good crop is ex pected, although some blight is reported Hoppicklng has begun in a few early yards, but It will not become general until tho 10th, or, perhaps, as late as the 14th. Al though the conditions have Improved some in the last three weeks, it is not'thought the hop crop will be up to the average this year, The fruit yield Is variable. In some lo calltles it is generally abundant. Peaches have done exceedingly well In tho Irrigated districts. Apples will not be xnbre than fair crop. Prunes are abundant In Clark County. Tho rains have been of great benefit to pastures, late vegetables, and root crops. Considerable plowing has been done, al though more rain is needed to put the soil in good condition for plowing. A small amount of Fall wheat sowing has been done, Idaho Crop Report. The Idaho weekly crop bulletin says in part 'Threshing of grain in practically complete in some western localities, and is making rapid progress in other parts of tho state. Grain is yielding well In most sections, except where there has been a shortage of water. "Whero cprn Is grown the crop Is above tho average, "Cutting of the second crop of alfalfa Is approaching completion in all but tho most elevated sections, and except In a few local! ties, whero they has been damage from hall or from lack of water, the crop Is a good one third-crop alfalfa is growing well in south western counties, though somewhat lodged In places by high wind. The second crop of clover and timothy is being harvested In favored localities. Some of the ranges are Improving, due to recent rains. "As a result of slightly Improved ranges, the condition of stock Is somewhat better. How ever. In some localities rains have riot been sufficient to be of lasting benefit to ranges, and stock Is falling In flesh. Where there are farming lands near the ranges, cattle are causing some trouble by breaking Into fields of growing crops. As a result of excessively close cropping, necessitated by shortage of grass, some cattle in Bannock County hav been killed by eating poslonous roots. Sheep and "Wool In Klamath. This has been tho banner year In Klamath County for tho sheep and wool business, eays the Klamath Falls Republican. It Is est! mated we now have about 20,600 sheep, or nearly four times the amount of last year. uave jailor is our Heaviest wool grower. wun nearly iuu.uuu pounds. Then comes Applegate & Stoble, E. L & F. L. Applegato and John Smart, with probably 25 to more small growers. From Information glv en by some of the best informed wool men in the county we find that there will bo about 218.500 pounds of wool shipped from hero this year. Edlers wool was handled by MassenglU of Lakeview, and we-are in formed was shipped to Boston. E. W. Gow en, of Klamath Falls, bought 79,000 pounds which ho shipped to San Francisco. The price paid was from 12 to 14 cents, dellv cred at Klamath Falls or MerrllL Yamhill County's Peach Crop Short, McMINNVILLE', Or.. Sept. 9. (Special.) The peach crop in Yamhill County vmd almost a complete failure, due to the cold rains while the trees were yet in bloom. M. E. Hendricks, a merchant of McMlnnvllle, who owns a large peach orchard 13 miles from here, on the Willamette, will only realize 100 bushels this year, while In former years the orchard has produced 1000 bushels. v McMlnnvllle Grain Shipments. McMINNVILLE. Or., Sept, 0. (Special.) McMlnnvllle will ship this year about one third the amount, of grain that It has In for mer years, due to mixed farming and stock raising. Livestock From McMlnnvllle. M'MINNVILLE, Or., Sept, 8- (Special.) Aug. Ford shipped three carloads of hogs to Portland today. Holmes & Keyt shipped carload of cattle to Portland. "Wheat Loiver at Tacoma. TACOMA, Sept, 0. A marked 'improve xnent In wheat receipts was reported today. CO cars having arrived during tho past 24 hours, which is nearly double any single day's receipts 6lnce tho present season open ed. The milling demand, which has kept prices about 3 cents above the export basis. is easier, and prices, which dropped a cont, fell off another cent today, quotations being 83 cents for bluestem and 80 cents for club. A decline of another cent will satisfy the exporters And tho wheat will begin to move. more freely. PORTLAND MARKETS. Grain. Flour, Feed. Etc. WHEAT Walla Walla. 78c: blueste-m. 82c: Valley.

Trading in the iTands of Profes sionalsDay's News Tiot of an Encouraging Character. - NEW YORK, Sept, 9. The stock market opened dull and less interesting than at any tlmo for tho past fortnight. The price movements were narrow' and without mean ing, in fact the market as' a whole was de void of any special feature, and operations almost wholly professional.
