WOLLABER, Acting Section Director, Portland, Or. General Crop Report. WASHINGTON. Sept. 22. The Weather Bu reau's weekly crop bulletin: Notwithstanding the recurrence of light to heavy frosts generally throughout, tho corn belt, tho corn crop has escaped injury except In the western portions of Kansas and Ne braska, and in the Dakotas, Minnesota and Wisconsin. While low temperatures have pre vented rapid ripening, especially over the West ern district, the crop as a whole has advanced favorably. A large part of the crop Is now safe, but the bulk of the unmatured will re quire from one to two weeks of favorable weather. The weather has been favorable for the com pletion of Spring wheat harvest on the Paclfio Coast. In the Dakotas and Minnesota wheat In the shock has been injured, and threshing delayed by wet weather. GOOD QUALITY OP HOPS. Kola Nels Says Crop Has Turned Out Better Tliun Expected. SALEM. Sept. 22. (Special.) "The quality of the Oregon hop crop will be much better than we expected it to be when the rains were falling just before picking time," said Kola Nels, a. member of the firm of Fober & Nels, Siopgrowers and buyers. "Many yards had moldy hops," continued Mr. Nels, "but the mold was not so bad as we 'were afraid it would be. I have heard many dealers express their surprise at seeing the hops coming out sp well. The damage will toot be near so great as In 1897. "Eastern dealers are waiting for samples of our hops, and I do not expect to see a very active market until they have had a chance to see what the hops are like. They know that we have some mold, and they "nat ural'.y hang back a little until they get the simples. I believe they will find the hops better than they are expecting to find them, and that they will be pleased with the Oregon crop. Samples of the best Oregon hops will not reach England until after October 1, and we cannot expect orders from these before the samples arrive. Many dealers bellove there will be an active demand from England for our hops, and the market depends largely upon whether that expectation shall be real ized. "The Review of the hop market on the com mercial page of todUys Oregonlan gives th'j situation exactly as It is. All the dealers have orders at 23 cents, and a grower with an extra choice lot of hops could get 24. cents, though this additional cent would be p&td as a speculation on the part of the dealer. In other words, while his orders might authorize purchases at only 23 cents, the dealer might pay 21 cents In order to secure an extra choice lot, and If the price failed to advance he would lose the one cent a pound. "Judging by reports that have been received since the hops have been picked, but before they have been baled, I would say that this year's crop In Oregon will amount to 75,000 to 80.000 bales. About 20 per cent Of these will be strictly choice hops; 40 per cent prime hops and 40 per cent mediums. In some sec tions the crop has been lighter than it was ,laut year, while in others it has been heavier. In the north end of Marlon County, for in stance, the crop was lighter, while It was .heavier all through the Independence country. As a rule, the yards that were sprayed pro duced the best hops, though I know of yards that were not sprayed but produced crops of choice hops. Some yards that were sprayed late have mold. In all the yards where spray ing was done thoroughly, and at the right time, there is no mold. This season has been a lesson to the growers, and I think that here after owners of hop yards will spray at the proper time, and in the proper manner." PORTLAXD MARKETS. Grain, Flour, Feed, Etc.

NARROWANDDULLMARKET STOCK PRICES SHOW CANT GAINS. INSIGXIFI- Liquidation in United States Steel Comes to an End Favorable Nevrs From the Crops. NEW YORK, Sept. 22. There was no change today In the narrow and professional character of the stock market. Thef dullness and lassi tude were somewhat accentuated by tho occur rence of the Jewish New Tear, which caused an absence of a part of the membership of th exchange Tho price movement was the same as that of yesterday, the advance coming early and tho reaction later, with final prices show ing insignificant gains from last night. For the first time in a. number of days United States Steel did not touch a new low record, and this was taken by the leaders to Indicate that the liquidation in that security was over. They marked up the rrlce accordingly, and the advance In the general market was little more than sympathetic Late In ' the day, urgent selling pressure developed in the United States second mortgage bonds. They were forced down to 73, which is lower than their pre vious low price. This prompted the traders to throw over the stocks they had takon early In the day. and wiped out the day's advance, with the result that small losses are inter spersed with small net gains. The buying movement of the morning was largely, concen trated, a single house being credited with the purchase of no less than 50,000 shares. There was little in the news of the day to account for the movement of prices. The col lapse of the efforts to save the Consolidated Lake Superior Company from bankruptcy seemed to have been discounted, and may even have been a factor in the recovery of United States Steel. The removal of the prospect of the Immediate demands upon capital to keep this company1 afloat seemed to afford a grim sort of relief to the spirit of dread of corpora tion requirements which Wall street has come to. The same spirit was responsible for the sharp drop In New York Central on the revived reports that the company was negotiating a large loan to provide for Its Immediate require ments In connection with the terminal improve ments In this city. The news from the crops continued favorable, the Weather Bureau's weekly report receiving a bearish Interpretation both as to corn and cotton. The grangers were well supported in consequence throughout. A round million dol lars was deposited at the Subtreasury tor tcio graphic transfer to New Orleans, showing the approach to the maximum flow for the season of cotton crop funds. The market closed easy. The late break in United States Steel bonds caused a sympathetic weakness in the former ly Irregular bond market. Total sales, par value, $1,981,000. United States bonds were all unchanged on the last call. STOCKS. 2 a- ? i ' Atchison do preferred 1. Baltimore & Ohio do preferred Canadian Pacific Central of New Jersey.

There was good buying In wheat early, after a moderately strong open ing, based on fairly firm cables and good ex port trade prospects, with December up lc to c at 7878c, and soon going to 78c.
