There were no transactions In the hop
market yesterday. Neither buyers nor fellers
Showed anxiety to do business. So far as
the former are concerned, . the care that af
fected the market last week appears to
have subsided. Should the celling pressure,
be relaxed throughout the remainder of the
week. It will doubtless go far toward steady
ing the market.
Reports that are coming in from the coun
try Indicate 'that the hot ppcll ending Sun
day did a world of good to the crop. Though
it was cooler yesterday morning, another hot
wave is promised which Is expected to put
the finishing touches to the vermin that
has been infesting the vine.
A. J. Ray made a tour of the "Woodburn
listrlct Sunday and found that the heat had
killed nine-tenths of the lice In that section.
He believes that the danger on that score
Is past for the present, but there may be an
attack later If the conditions should favor
it. Mr. Ray, Hko -most of the other large
growers, believes In spraying regardless of
the weather and still has his men at work.
J. A. Jones, who has a large yard at
Newberg, says his crop In coming out well
anfl that the lice have practically disappeared.
He did not -spray, being satisfied that the
eun would do the work.
While conditions arc on the mend In this
part of the country, the latent reports from
California are not eo ratisfactery. as the in
tense' heat in the latter part of last week
did considerable damage to the vines. The
New Tork crop also seems to be infested
with a new evil, according to the. "Watorvllle
Times of July 3. which said: "Some of the
growers In this vicinity are now worried over
the attack of worms which cat off the vine
Just below the surface of the ground. There
is no question but some yards are afflicted
in this way. but to what extent It will
spread cannot be told. They may disappear
as suddenly as they came. Some growers
are putting sufficient help Into their yards
to dig out the worms- before they destroy
the whole hill."
.FRUIT scrrixES LIGHT.

- -rjtHjrlirtner. -
There was- not much In the way of fruit
to offer on ' Front ,' street -yesterday morning.
The market was almost bare, notwithstand
ing the arrival fjf the- steamer good, and
the delay In the express made matters worse.
A. supply' of Fresno watermelons carried over
from Saturday . -and the receipt of a car
from Coachello. helped, tilings out until the
Southern Pacific's- train was In. Melons were
quoted someWhaC easier at 22& cents.
Harry Arakellan. the Fresno grower, has ap
pointed the Pearson-Page Company to act
as his agents and will send, several hundred
cars of watermelons to Portland this Sum
mer. Cantaloupes were well cleaned up and
will be scarce until Wednesday, when the
next car is due.
The lemon market was very strong yester
day. Some firms were holding for $6 a box.
while others refused orders. Ripe bananas,
peaches. -,and good cherries were particular
ly scarce. Raspberries were quoted firmer at
0 cents.
Count ry Troduce Steady.
Xo changes were reported in country prod
uce lines. Eastern eggs offered freely at
1820 cents and Orcgons at 2021 cents.
Some firms -made -no distinction between the
two, quoting both at 20 cents flat. There
were no arrivals of poultry. The butter
market was about steady.
Fewer Veul Coming.
There was a scarcity of veal on the local
market yesterday, as well at Saturday,
but that fact had no influence on prices.
as the butchers arc all well stocked In
storage and there Is known to be plenty of
calves in the country waiting to be mar
keted. In other lined of dressed meats the
demand was only nominal and the limited
supplies proved adequate.

Reports of Crop Injury Cause
Firmness at Chicago.
CONDITIONS IN NORTHWEST
Later In Session Most of Gain Is
Lost on Profit-Taking and Close
Is Easy at a - Fraction
Over SatuYdaj-.
CHICAGO. July 10. The wheat market was
weak at the etart. Initial quotations oa Sep
tember being unchanged to e lower, at
86:40 S7;c The weakness was doe largely
to clear weather, both In the Northwest and
In the Southwest. Sentiment soon became
bullish, however, on numerous damage reports
from tho Northwest. One report from Minne
apolis stated that many advices from Minne
sota and South Dakota had been received of
damage by rust. Commission bouses became
active buyers and as a result prices advanced
rapidly. In September the highest point of
the day was reached at 6S.c. During the
last half of the t-esslon r-entlment again
changed to bearlshnezs. Under liberal profit
taking most of the gain was lost. The selling
was brought out mainly by Increasing primary
receipts, especially In tho Southwest, result
ing In a sevens break In tho price of cash
wheat at Kansas City. Another weakening
Influence was the bearish tone of -the Michi
gan crop report. An easy tone prevailed at
the close with final quotations on September
at S7H0!S7c. a net gain of V40c over Sat
urday. The corn market closed decidedly weak with
prices at the lowest point of the day. Sep.
timber opened a shade to tSSic lower at
5US54HC, sold up to 50jc and then declined
to 55c. closing at the "bottom.
The oats market was firm early, but weak
ened in sympathy with the break In corn.
September opened HfiUc higher at 2U&031KC,
sold up to 31'?s0S5Ke and then declined to
31Uc. where It closed.
Provisions were firm early on moderate
coverings by shorts. Later the market weak
ened on selling of lard and rlba by packers.
At the close September pork was off 15c at
$12.85. Lard was down 74c at $7.22 V;. Ribs
were off 7H"gl0c at $7.S2U7.S5.

31alntenancc of Union Pacific DIvI
'dend Rate Leads to Shifting of
Speculative Demand.
NEW YORK. July 10. The rtlllng to take
profits on the open rise In prices or stocks
today was of such character as to cause a
pause In the operations for the advance and
a marked falling off in the volume of the
dealings. y
Not only was the selling to realize of a
sufficient nature, but an influential element
In the speculation began to give voice to
suggestions of an unfavorable character. It
was broadly asserted today that Information
had been received that it had been deter
mined to maintain the present dividend rate
on Union Pacific for the next period, instead
of Increasing it, and a section of the recet
enthusiasts on that stock allowed It to be
understood that they were selling out their
holdings and transferring their Interests to
portions of the industrial list. The Iron and
steel industrials. Amalgamated Copper and the
Erics, seemed to be the principal beneficiaries
of the shifting of speculative demand said to
be going on.
The London market was unsettled by fears
of trouble In the coming Kaffir settlement.
.Discounts hardened-there under this Influence
and the coming offering of the Japanese loan.
I
Gold also rose in that market on the Paris
demand, which continued In spite of the an
nouncement of the definite re-establlshment ot
an entente with Germany. Exchange here
was inclined to sag. and no more gold was
taken for export. There, was quite an active
demand for time loans carrying over the end
of th -year. The opening of subscription on
Wednesday to the $50,000,000 Japanese loan
apportionment and the return of Government
deposits set for Saturday next were also sub
jects for no little consideration.
The commodities marked continued urn fi
lled. The cotton market scandal was madjs
the text of some dtecurwion of the adverse ef
fect on 'capital outlay of the successive de
velopments of the last few months. The mar
ket closed heavy at partial recoveries.
Bonds were irregular. Totall sales, par value.

Fruit Is Quieter.
SAN FRANCISCO. July 10. (Special.)
Wheat and barley speculation was again
active and the December delivery of both
reached the highest prices of the present
season; wheat touching $1.40 and barley
074 cents. Spot prices were strong in sym
pathy and other cereals, except rye. which
was wear at $1,474 asked for choice new
crop, shared In the "firmness. Leading op
erators' are all convinced that the Caltfor
irfa wheat crop will not' exceed 400.000 to
450,000 tons and barley 500,000 to 550.000
tons, but as present figures prohibit exports,
a more conservative, feeling Is apparent and
unles distant markets should boom, prices
may soon have a setback.
A sharp return of fresh trade winds and
cool weather quieted the fruit market. Al
though choice deelduou and citrus varieties
were in light supply, prices for most lines
were easier. Peaches and apricots were ac
tive at sUshtly reduced prices. A carload
of lemons arrived but buyers were disposed
to hold off. Bananas were dull and dragging.
Selected potatoes and onions were In good
demand and firm, but much poor stock was
offered at concessions. Tomatoes were In
larger supply from the river.
Fancy butter and egg were firm. Cheese

CLASH FOR SPACE RESULTS
Doctors and Dentists Had Both. Been
Promised School Basement.
The meeting of the City School Board
last night developed a queer clash of In
terests between two National conventions
about to be hold In this cit from which
It appears that last December the local
Medical Association, through Dr. Tucker,
applied for and was granted permission
to use the High School and "one or more
rooms'' of the Atkinson School, accord
ing to the minutes of proceedings, for the
benefit of the National Medical Associa
tion, which opens its sessions here today.
About the same time. Dr. Cox applied
for the use of the basement of the Atkin
son School upon behalf of the National
assemblage of dentists, which is sched
uled to convene here next week, and this
Idea likewise found favor In the eyes of
the accommodating Educational Board.
It now transpires that ,the doctors did
not stint themselves in the matter of
space, so that when several carloads of
dental appliances reached the Union De
pot the other day and application was
made at the Atkinson School for storage
in accordance with the agreement. It was
found that the entire basement had been
pre-empted by the medicos, who had also
filled several rooms of the building with
tjielr paraphernalia.
At the meeting of the School Board last
night It was stated that tho doctors had,
contrary to orders, removed the seats
from the classrooms occupied by them,
and when -expostulated with had Informed
the committee from the board that they
preferred to pay a fine rather than be
encumbered with the seats.
In the meantime, the dentistry appli
ances are at the depot, and their conven
tion Is almost ready to proceed. The local
School Board appreciates the embarrass
ing position it Is n. and last night adopt
ed a resolution instructing the clerk to
DO YOU DIE?
direct the Janitors to notify the Medical
Association to make room in the base
ment for the dentists.
The sharp competition for space in this
particular school building arises over Its
proximity to tho Armory, "where the two
conventions are to bo held.
