Newspaper Page TextTHE MPRtflNG QREGONIAN, SATURDAY, AUGUST 6;- 190 13 V SUGAR MARKET UP And Prices Expected to Ad vance Still Higher, 1 0 CENT ADVANCE ALL AROUND Change Is the Result of Increased Strength of Raw Sugars In the East Package Coffees Also Advance. The expected advance in sugar materialized yesteraay, wnen all grades of the reflned ar ticle went up 10 cent. The market remains very strong, and the largest holders on the Coast look for a further advance of at least 20 points. Dry granulated is now Quoted at Fruit sugar Is offering at SC. 15. The market is temporarily bare of beet sugar. The advance In prices Is solely duo to the situation In regard to raw sugar In the great markets of the world. The statistical position Is decidedly strong, with spot stocks showing a reduction of about 40,000 tons In the past two weeks. A. New York trade .circular thus ex plains conditions: The improvement In the demand is the com bined result of the better demand for roflned sugar, the additional decrease In the stocks here, due to arrivals being only one-half of the meltings, and the renewed advance In the En ropean market. The latter we consider the most influential factor, because tho advance took place notwithstanding the recent compli cations in international affairs, and the con 6equent higher rates for money In the Euro pean ananclal centers. The favorable statistical situation to which we have .referred so often, continues to Jm prove every week, the shortage in the com bined stock in the United States and Cuba being now 314.000 tons, or 14,000 tons more than last week. These figures, at a period when consumption Is at its height, have not had the effect on prices which was generally expected, owing perhaps to the fact that at each slight rl6e our refiners, have been offered comparatively large quantities of sugar on the spot and for shipment, which induced them to withdraw for a short time, resulting In temporary lull in the market. The always- available large quantities of beet sugar in Eu rope for immediate shipment, to be bought at a small premium, have also kept the market from reaching tho prices CArarranted by the stocks on this side. Should the dry weather In Europo continue 1 the extent of making an appreciable de crease In tho output of the growing crop, con ditions will bo materially changed, for that is the only source from whore prompt sugars larg quantities can be drawn unril October. When the bulk of Java sugars may now be con sidered as negligible. After October, Louisiana and the domestic beet sugars will also com mence to partly supply the demand, especially as this year the higher prices aro bound to stimulate an early start of factories. The outlook for sugars Is favorable for : further advance, which, however, may be de layed for some" time by refiners continuing to make their purchases In a Judicious -nannsr by shifting their field of operations from one mar ket to -another, thus securing a air quantity of sugar without disturbing prices matirlally Javao continue being offered at 10s 4fcd to 10s Cd. August-September shipment, but ?u;ll with out attracting buyers. Unless beets Cecllne. It is only a question of a few weeks lo-iger v ben these Javas will find a market here at these prices, or even higher. The first eteamer bringing sugar of Java's present crop arr.vtd in the early part of the week. i Takima and Hood Elver Apple Crops. HOOD RIVER, Or,, Aug. 5. (Special.) B. "Wees, representing F- Newhalls & Sons, of Chicago, was .in Hood River yesterday, having Just come from the Takima Valley, which section be says will produce the ban ner apple crop In its history. Ilr. "Wees estimates the Takima apple crop at 400,000 boxes. The Wenatchee Valley, he says, will market 20.000 boxes. After a .Srlve through tho Hood River Valley he says the prospects Indicate a splendid crop. "While' the Takima country can produce larger and better Ben Davis and "Wlnesaps, says Mr. "Wees, the Hood River Valley undoubtedly surpasses the world in the' size and "high color of the Spltzenbergs and the Yellow Newtowna. A. X. Mason, president of the Hqod River Applegrowers Union, in reporting to A. "War ren Patch, secretary of the International Applepackers' Association, the crop estimate in Oregon, places the apple crop for tho state at 400.000 boxes, and that of Hood River Valley at 75,000 boxes.

J CONTRACTION OF TRADING DIVERSION OF SPECULATIVE IN TEREST TO PRODUCE. Resumption of Gold Exports to Eu rope Has No Effect on the Stock Market. NEW YORK. Aug. 5. There was a decided contraction of business In stocks today. Cam mission-houses reported the amount of outside orders as "Insignificant, and the speculative operators showed hesitation and talnty. This Is partly due lo a large diversion of sffcclatlye interest to cott.tn and train markets, and partly to "the conflicting inflU' ences from the cotton and wheat crop pros pects. The effect of these is to cause alter nate advances and declines In the markets as a whole, as the effect of the cotton prospects the wheat prospect becemet: alternately dominant. The nndertono of the market was firm today. So far as the produce markets were an Influence, there was a feeling of sus plcion of yesterday's violent rise in wheat. and the roporta of damage to the crop which accompanied It. Tho r action In the wheat market itself encouraged the view that the frlsht over the situation had been -exaggerated. The views on the exteirt of the damage to the Spring wheat crop have become so mixed that nrary operators express a determination to nwal'. the publication of tr.e uoveraiucitw estimates of condition ot Angus; 1, wh.cb i to appear on the 10th, before venturing on fur ther commitments. Tho encasement of $2,500,000 in gold for shipment to Europe next week, and rumors of further engagements seemed to be accepted with perfect equanimity by the stock market. The shipment to Cuba Is of sucn a special character, and has been so clearly foreseen that it was totally Ignored, but the movement to London la regarded as an Indication that the usual recourse to that center for funds to move tho crops will be denied this Fall. The money market was entirely unaffected. The estimates of tho week's currency move ment show that the tide from the "Interior Is uninterrupted, and the large loss to the Sub treasury on account of the payment of a Cen tral Paclflc note has been successively reduced by the dally debits of the Government Insti tution. A gain of over $3,000,000 In cash by fhn witiV! is indicated. The sharp recovery In voonsols in London, helped the early market here. Reactions at the last were only sugni, uui u closing was heavy. Bonds were firm. Total sales, par value. $1,035,000. United States bonds were un changed on call. CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS. Closing Sales. High. Low. bid.

At tho opening the wheat market showed .some signs of weakness. September being unchanged -to Jic lower, at 00e97l4c. With the exception of tavoraDie weather, however, there seemed little to war rant any alteration of the recent bullish atti tude of traders. Influenced by the strength in English markets, shorts covered freely soon after the opening, aavancmg tne price oi aep tember to 9SVic A reaction followed as a re sult of heavy proflt-taklng. The bearish turn to the market was clinched by a report of a Minneapolis crop expert, who has within the past two weeks sent out numerous extremely bullish advices regarding the condition of Spring wheat In the Northwest. According to the Interview given out today by this author lty, while wheat ifi the Dakotas and Minnesota Is damaged by rust, there will be, on the whole, an excellent aggregate production, with much 'variation In sample. Many reports re ceived during the day from the Northwest, however, were flatly contradictory in tenor. The market closed rather easy, with September up.aS'Hc, at 97H37c. Minneapolis, Duluth and Chicago reported receipts of 222 cars. against 225 cars last week and 284 cars a year ago. Proflt-taklng by Eastern holders was Instru mental in creating. a weak undertone In corn. The market closed weak, with prices near the lowest point of the day.

September closed at S3c the low figure, Provisions were weak in sympathy with lower prices at the yards, and on selling credited to local packers.
