and only a few yards remain to he finished
up. The yield continues below average, but
the quality Is very good. Early planted pota
toes are being dug; the yield Is very disap
pointing. Late potatoes continue to do poorly
on account of lack of rain. The third crop of
alfalfa Is about ready for harvesting, and some
cutting has been done In portions of Eastern
Oregon.
But little plowing or eecding was accom
plished, as the 'soil is too dry for working.
In the Willamette Valley a few fields have
been "disked" In ba ground plowed last
Spring.
Corn is ripening nicely; the ears are large
and well filled, and on the whole the crop
promises well. Pastures are very dry and
stock Is losing flesh.
Prune-drying is progressing rapidly In South
ern Oregon. In the Willamette Valley the
fruit Is rather slow in ripening, and picking
and drying will not begeneral much before
next week; the crop lsvery light. Late ap
ples, while rather small, promise' abundant
yields; the early varieties continue to drop
more than usual.

General Crop Report.
WASHINGTON. Sept. 20. The'weather Bu
reau's weekly summary of crop conditions
says:
Frosts occurred as far South as Oklahoma
and Tennesee, but little or no damage re
suited, except to tender vegetation in the cen
tral valleys and to unmatured crops in Wis
consin. Minnesota, the Dakotas and Montana,
The conditions were generally favorable In
California, but drouth was injurious in Ore
gon, and no rain fell In Washington.
A light and Inferior crop of apples is indi
cated in a majority of the states of the Cen
tral valleys, but in Michigan and Ohio and the
northern portion of the Middle Atlantic States,
as well as In Now England, ths fruit is plen
tiful.
Plowing for Fall seeding has been delayed
by dry soli In the Indian Territory.

SHORTAGE IN CORN CROP
HAS -FAR-REACHING EFFECT jN
STOCK MARKET.
Union Pacific's Successful Resist-
ance
to " the Decline Money
Continues to Harden.
NEW YORK. Sept. 20, An export estimate ofx
only 1,900,000 bushels of corn, which was given
to the public, caused a momentary Jump In
the corn market, which was more than lent
before the day was over, white the decline In
stocks was partly relieved. But that estimate
was reinforced today by the expressed icredence
of President Hill, of the Great Northern Rail
way, and was thus given renewed Influence
on stocks. The coneequenco was a decline In
prices, which affected not only the corn-carriers,
but the stock-carriers, the grangers, Pa
dflcos, coalers, trunk lines and. In fact, every
department of tho railroad list. The estimates
of the crop, based on conditions past, were
given added force by the weather reports show
ing lower temperatures In the Northwest. The
weekly crop bulletin of the weather bureau was
somewhat ambiguous and obscure la Jts ex
pression, but offered little to cheer the more
apprehensive over either the com cr the cot
ton crop.
Some of the recent strength of the steel
stocks has been based on the advantages ex
pected to follow the cut In billets. Amal
gamated Copper offered some temporary re
sistance to the decline, due to an advance' in
bids on copper, but ultimately yielded to a
more effective resistance offered by Union Pa
cific, which was 1 over last nighty This
argued that Union Pacific's corn territory Is
safe from frost damage, and this statement
may also have been Intended as a reassurance
to some current rumors regarding the health
of the head of the system.
It could not be learned that there was any
actual calling of leans on the Stock Exchango,
but the tone of the money market plainly con
tinues to harden, and tho prospect of re
trenched credits was undoubtedly a factor In
the liquidation of stockholdings. Declines
were fairly uniform at botween 1 and 2 points,
but wide declines in a few high-grade Invest
ment stocks were a feature. Such closely
held stocks are easy to bid up for effect In a
bull market, and the abandonment of protec
tion for the high level Is likely to be signifi
cant of the speculative mood of those who ad
vanced tho prlco previously for effect. Mis
souri Pacific's poor showing of net earnings
for July cost It an extreme decline of 2i.
Unloa Paclfla was turned against the bears
when they began to cover to take profits in
the final dealings, and some brisk rallies re
sulted, but the close was feverish and unsat
tled. Bonds were weak. Total sales, par value,
$3,805,000. United States bonds were un
changed on call.

COLD WAVE IN NORTHWEST
GIVES WHEAT PRICES STRONG
START AT CHICAGO. -
Firm Tone of Foreign Markets and
Bulge in Corn Also' Have
Influence on Values.
CHICAGO, Sept. 20. Active covering by
Shorts as the result of a cold wave In the
Northwest caused a net advance of lo in
the price of both wheat and corn here today.
Oats are. up c. Provisions show a gain of
2252c.
Reports of general frosts last night through
out the Dakotas and Western Minnesota, gave
a strong start to the wheatmarket, there be
ing a lively demand alike from shorts and
commission-houses. The December option
opened with a gain of llc to llc May
was up 1 to la at $1.105?1.11. Fac
tors that contributed considerable strength
were the comparltlvely small receipts In the
Northwest and tho exceedingly low grading
of the fresh arrivals. The market was affected
also by a bulge in corn prices and by the
firm tone of foreign grain markets. On the
resulting advance there was considerable cell
ing by pit-traders, causing a loss of much of
the Initial gain, December declining to $1.03.
Meantime, May sold off to $1.10. The re
action, however, .was only temporary. With
bullish reports coming from the Northwest
and the market at Minneapolis showing a big
advance, prices here started up with a gain.
A decrease in total primary receipts and a
smaller Increase than expected In the world's
visible supply were factors that stimulated buy
ing late in the session. Tho high point of
the day was reached at $1.09 for Decem
ber. May sold up to $1.111.12. The market
closed strong with Docember at $1.07 and
May. $1.111.11.
Predictions that the cold wave in the North
west would swoop down upon the cornfields
of Iowa and Nebraska tonight gave shorts
a fright at the opening of the corn market.
Traders had not yet entirely recovered from
the bullish statements of the two well-known
crop experts made yesterday, and this fresh
source of anxiety caused a wild scramble
for offerings. December closed with a gain of
lo at 5151c A dispatch from New
Tork crediting James J. Hill with a state
ment that tho total yield of corn will not ex
ceed 2.000,000,000 bushels gave the market ad
ditional support during the latter part of the
day;
Oats held firm. December closed c higher
at 32c.
Provisions were strong and active. Continued
light hog receipts and stronger grain mar
kets were the principal Influences. At the
close, January pork was up 62c, lard was
up 2c and ribs 2225c higher.
