"THE MORNING OREGONIAN, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 7, 1903. DROP WILL BE LARGE Estimated Cranberry Yield in United States, NEARLY UP TO RECORD FIGURES Indicates That SteaHy Prices Will Jlnle Again This Year Local Ap ple Market Portland Produce and Jobbing Quotations. The cranberry crop of the United States this year is estimated at 1,100.000 bushels, as com pared with about 050.000 bushels raised last yc-r. This indicates that steady prices -will ru-e again this ycar. An Eastern firm hand ling cranberries ,on a large scale has been col lecting statistics on the yield, and finds that the United States this year will produce about as follows; Cape Cod and other New England dis tricts 550.000 New Jersey and Long Island 450.000 Western States 100,000 Total estimated crop in bushels 1,100,000 Plymouth and Barnstable Counties, - Massa chusetts (Cape Cod), last year shipped 210,451 bushels, and estimates tor this year are 188,009 bushels, a decrease of about 10 per cent. The New cJrsey crop last year was 4,550 bushels, and this year will be 250.085 bushels, a gain tf nearly 20 per cent. Wisconsin will yield 37,120 bushels, against 20,345 bushels last year, a decrease of about 8 per cent. Rhode Island and Interior Massachusetts show a gain this year of about 10 per cent, and Long Island Is reported nearly the Eame as last scaison. Since many of the Cape Cod reports came In some growers have reported a Utile damage by frosts, and others escaping frost nave found earlier estimates too high. Many write of dimeulty in securing enough pickers In New Jersey, and Is therefore quite doubtful whether all the berries" can be gathered before frost, which, if coming soon, might mak a large Shrinkage in the protpeotlvo yield. No allowance being made for increased acre age, fine weather conditions continuing another month may bring the crop up to the record one of 1001 (1,250,000 bushels), but this is not probable. THE APPLES 3IAH3CET. Season for GrnvenxteiiiH Is Nearly at an End. Thclpcal apple market is fairly well sup plied now, though tho season for Summer va rieties is about over. Fall apples are coming in, and sell at generally good prices. The real active season In the trade will not open until "Ulr'er apples begin to arrive. The -arieties now offering are pippins of va rious kinds. Wolf Rivers, Snows, Kings, Wealthys and Graveneteins. The season for the latter Is about closed. The Gravensteln It a favorite table apples, large, showy and well flavored. No other apple of the medium early class is so sure of a good market. Tho original Gravensteln tree grew in the garden of the Duke of Augustenberg. at the Castle of Gra-enstcln, in Schleswig-Holsteln, in Germany, and was still standing about the year 1850. Hlrschfelt, a German pomologlst, in 178S, wrote the first description of the apple, end stated that It was brought to Germany from Italy. The earliest trace of ibis apple dates back to about 1700. It is now widely grown in Western Europe, and is a favorite everywhere. About the only special drawbacks of the Gravenste.in are that It Is only moderately productive and requires good coll and culture to produce large, attractive fruit. It will not profitably endure neglect like the Ben Davis or Baldwin, but is one of the best-paying va rieties where thorough methods are practiced. STANDS BY ITS PRICES. "Willamette A'nlley Prune Associa tion a. Firm-Holder. SALEM, Or., Oct. 0. The sales committee of the Willamette Valley Prune Association held a meeting today, and after canvassing the situation decided to continue the present prices, which are a 3-cent basis for 30s and a 2& cent basis for 40s and over. The members of the committee are of the opinion that not all of the present crop will be saved, owing to insufllcjent drying capacity, and that the rains will spoil a small portion pf the crop, so that the yield will not be as large as was expected. It was alto learned that California will produce but 2517 cars of prunes this year, as compared with 30S3 cars last year. The shortage in the supply of all fruits also encouraged the committee to stand by its prices. J. H. Fletcher, of Vancouver, was in Salem today. He reports that the Clam County As sociation is making a few sales of the first packing on a 27j-cent basts. Some of the grow ers on the lowlands finished drying today, hut the work will not be completed In the hills for MO days yet. S Lewis County Hop Sale. CHEHALIS. Wash., Oct. C (Special.) The first hop. sale of any considerable ".Quantity in the Chehalls district was made here today, A. L. Coffman, for Plncus & Eons, of Tacoma, Llllenthal's Washington agents, bought John Dobson's 25 ton3 at 25 cents. The quality of Mr. Dobson's crop Is good, and this price is the highest paid here this season. He had 40 tons on CO acres. Plncus & Sons previously contracted 15 tons at 15 cents per pound. Northwestern Wheat Markets. PULLMAN, Wash., Oct. 0. (Special.) Farmers here are holding for 70 cents for wheat and $1 for oats and barley. Not a sale was made today, buyers offering CI cents for club wheat, 85 cents for oats and 80 cents for barley. Less than 20 per cent of tho crop near Pullman has ben sold. Government Crop Report. WASHINGTON, Oct. C The Weather Bu reau's weekly crop report bulletin: On the whole, the corn crop has experienced another favorable week. In Iowa 1 to 15 per cent of the area planted Is still exposed in some measure to damage by heavy frost, but , another week of warm, dry weather would ripen most of the belated crop. In Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri, Michigan and Wisconsin about 10 per cent of the crop Is still exposed to injury from frost; in Indiana, about 5 per :ent, and in Ohio from 5 to 25 per cent. In Wisconsin, Minnesota and South Dakota from 10 to 40 per cent has already been Injured to a greater or less extent. Rains have retarded threshing of Spring wheat in Minnesota and the Dakotas, and caused further Jnjury to grain in shock In South Dakota. Early-sown wheat has germi nated and is coming up well, fine 6tands being reported from Nebraska and Kansas. Recent rains, in Texas have put the soil In excellent condition, and seeding is now active in that itate, PORTLAND MAIUCETS. Grain, Flour, Feed, Etc.

NEW YORK, Oct. 6. Today's stock market lay practically in a lethargy pending the ac tion of tbo United States Steel directors on the common stock dividend. Tills action had not been decided up to the close of the market, and the repressive influence of the suspense accordingly was not removed. Dealings were the smallest for many weeks, and. smalj as they were, a large 'proportion of the whole was absorbed by the United States Steel securities, which were the only stocks in which the uncer tainty over the dividend action was made the occasion for speculative price movements to any extent. This Is largely due to the fact that the financial world has been in great doubt over what the effect wpuld be of tho dividend action. Whether the passing or reduction of the dividend could result In any further fall in the price of the company's securities had been most questioned. The conservation of a surplus, it is now believed, would have held the market price of the securities better than the distribution of dividends on the common stock, which has proved utterly unavailable to hold the market. The sharp advance in the preferred Mock this afternoon of more than 2 points, while the common stock was slightly affected, was due to the party that ws la doubt over the consideration of the dividend, and which believed that the additional security for the preferred by the retention of the sur plus In the treasury would 'result in higher prices. Outside the steel stocks, tho market was ex ceedingly narrow and the movements Insignifi cant. Only a handful of stocks got as much as a point away from last night, and extreme movements were not sustained in any place The early movement was downward, and Lon don assisted In this tendency to some extent on account of the unsettled opinion in the market from the British Cabinet changes. Some selling was reported to be for Western account, and may have been associated with reports of deterioration of the wheat yield in one or two of tho Western States, which also caused u firm tone In the wheat market. The Government's weekly report on cotton was felt to leave a good deal to be desired. There was no pressure of liquidation at any point, and the market rallied in sympathy with the late upward movement In United States Steel pre ferred. The full recovery was not held, but the closing was steady, and showed very slight net changes as a rule The time money market seems to be growing softer, and apprehension of any real stringency has been pretty well dissipated. The large movement ofold toward London and the ces sation of Berlin demands for gold seem to as sure the prospects for that center. The belief is gaining force that the deposit of Govern ment funds witn Uestera banks has supplied a sufficient proportion of the usual demand to relax tho pressure on New York. The market for bonds was very dull and about steady. Total sales, par value, $2,043, 000. United States 3s declined 4 and the ola 4s H per cent on tho last call. closing Sales. High. Low. bid.

A better undertone pre vailed In the wheat pit, and at times the mar ket was quiet and strong, with trading of a more active character than of late. Opening prices were firm, notwithstanding lower foreign" markets, December being up c, at 70 76c Scalpers were liberal buyers of Decem ber, but the buying of July was quite gen erally neglected. There was very little of the nearby option for sale, and as the session ad vanced, prices gradually went higher, until 77o was reached. Bullish crop reports from Missouri and Ohio, with strength In outsldo markets, were early bull factors. When Brad etrcet's figures were issued, showing an in crease In the world's visible supply of over 12,000,000 bushels, considerable- selling devel oped, and the market suffered a decline. De cember slumping off to 76c During the last hour, however, prices again rallied on a good cash demand and on reports of big export busi ness done via the Gulf. It being claimed that 60 or 70 boatloads had been sold for shipment by Southwestern bouses. The close was firm, with December 0c higher, at 777Jc Corn was on a bull tack, and more than made up tho ground lost In the previous session. Buying was of an Influential character, pro vitton interests taking the initiative on that hlcher. 44tte44T.Cc Trading In oats was of a moderate volume. December closed up c, at 36c. There was very little trading In provisions, and the market lacked any features. The close showed slight declines, January pork being off 10c. lard and ribs 2c lower.
