DECLINE IN
Market Takes a Sharp Drop of
Twenty Cents.
DUE TO FALL IN RAWS
Scarcity of Fruit Still Checks Trad
ing on Front Street Better De
mand for Wheat, hut Offer

WHEAT Stronger oh letter Call-

i FLOUR Local movement f-ood, but
4 no export bustneee.
After showing much eteadtnes" for tho good
part .of a month, the sugur market resumed
its retrograde movement y ester A. declining
lull 20 points on all refined Rredf. The
drop was olely in re.yo:to to a simitar fall
In th East. Th New Virk market declined
20 cents' a hundred In tho rare boor, snd tit?
Portland. San Francisco mm4 Cohm markets
moved down to the nnc extent In the after
noon. lower pr!cf for raw michi at Now Tork
caused tho break in rcfiMd grades there. The
Eastern market at the dwltne exhibits no
strength whatever, and a further drop would
cause no 'surprise on the part of the trade.
It in a hand-to-mouth proposition with the
refiner? who ar only buying raws as Tthey
need thorn.
niUIT STILL SCARCE.
Front Street Was Never So Bare of Slocks
" Before.
Never In the history of the Jobbing trade
has "Front street been so bar of fruit' as it
was yesterday. -Aside from a lot of water
melons and a few small shipments of local
fruit, nothing at all came In in time for trad-,
lng. All dalern have Wg orders jriaced at
fchlpplng points, but are unable to get the
goods. It Is an unfortunate condition, as the
demand Is vary strong now. and an enormous
business would be done were stocks avail
able. Two cars of Frounomelnn-. destined for
northern point, that bad been In a wreck
at Dan-mulr. were sold by tho railroad com
pany here. About half the let wo save.. A
car of oantaloupoe arrived too late for the
day's business. About 7fc boxes of Crawford
peaches made up the arrival in that line.
They sold quickly at $141.10. Some Wenat
che apricots "were offer asd brought $1
1.25. There were hardly any ohnrrios on
hand. Btngn readily brought 184121, cent,
and tbe commonest offerings were in demand
at 7 cent. One firm that was fortunate
enough in having a good supply of lemons
on hand did a thriving trade in them at
$5C.
Plenty of tomatoes cae in from local
points, and some green ones from California.
Green corn, beans. lettuce and cucumber
wore also plentiful from receipt of tho day
before. New Oregon potatoes arrived freely,
and sold at the wide range of 75 cents to
$1.10. New California woro offered at $14$;
1.25. There is no longer any demand for oM
potatoes.
STRONGER DEMAND FOR WHEAT.
Bat Trading Is Light a Available Supplies
Arc Small.
More strength was shown in the whoat mar
ket yesterday, owing to the urgency of the,
California demand. Trading, however, was
not much increased, as but little wheat was
available'. Nearly all the grain in the North
west now is in the hands of millers. Some
of these'have cleaned out their surplus lately,
but those who Mill have stocks on hand will
hold them. Needing sime old grain to mix
with tho new. Club wheat was quotod yes
terday at-S24S3 cents and bluestom at 89490
cents. For Valley. S5 cents is given is the
outside quotation.
The flour market has feown. no new de
velopments in the past week. Local trade it
of normal proporUon. but there is practically
nothing doing In an export way.
BUTTER STILL PLENTIFUL.
o Decrease. Yet in Receipts From tho
Country.
. Butter continues in heavy supply on Front
t street. The trade expected receipts to fait
off by this time, as the pastures have begun
to dry up. but there in no sign yet of a de
crease, and the market therefore continues
weak.
Eggs sold well j-cfterday at former prices.
Not many Oregons.came in. but there was a
plentiful supply of Easterns to draw upon.
There was a strong demand for ohickens
that cleaned up all the arrivals. Geose and
ducks were not wanted.

LIST HELPED
Prices 'Rise on Publication of
Crop Report.
SELLING PRESSURE CEASES
Promise of Profitable Traffic for the
Granger Roads Hope Revived
of Increased Union Pa
cific Dividend.
NEW YORK. July 12. The report of the
Agricultural Department on the condition of
the cereals crops as of July 1 was an ef
fective sustaining influence on prices of
nocks today, and served to protect the mar
ket agalntt the effect of tbe continuation of
yesterday" profit-taking movement. On the
open-, rise in prices, the selling of this
character was conspicuous, but with the per
sistence of tbt firmer tone in the market the
pressure to sell became less urgent. The vol
ume of the buying was moderate and Jlhe de
cline in the total of the day's salon from the
recently prevailing averages was perhaps the
most significant feature of the market.
For the first time in many days, the price
movement was consistent In the sock and
commodities market, wheat declining -when
stocks advanced. The Indicated wheat crop
of nearly 7.XK).000 butbela and the possibility
of k bumper corn crop were accepted as giv
ing full promise of profitable traffic for the
granger railroads.
The failure yesterday to secure a. quorum
of Union Pacific directors wss regarded from
a revised standpoint as leaving open tho pos
sibility of later action for Increasing the divi
dend, and discussion of this probability was
an active factor In the market.
Th" hardening of the money market attract
ed offerings of foreign funds in this market,
and the celling of exchange bills on this ac
count weakened the foreign exchange market.
The late rise in Northern Pacific, accom
panied by rumors of an intended extra divi
dend, and Just before the clos-. the action
increasing the Baltimore & Ohio eml-annual
dividend to 2U per cent was announced. The
closing In consequence was firm, but dull.
Bonds were irregular. Total sales, par
value. $3,440,000. United States bonds were
unchanged on call.

CALIFORNIA HOP CROP
DAMAGED IX SOME SECTIONS,
YET HEAT IS BENEFICIAL.
Expected Set-Back In Speculative
Prices for Wheat and Barley
Occurs Dried Fruits Firm.
SAN FRANCISCO. July 12.-(SpecUI )
While the recent excessive heat damaged the
California hop crop In some districts, the
warm weather on the whole was of benefit.
and an average yield Is now expected. The
local market is easy for Jack of business.
Spat quotation!" for 1904 crop remain at 1S4
20 cents. New-crop contracts are nominal at
16 cents.
Wool Is closely cleaned up and firm.
Tbe setback In -peculatlve prices for wheat
and barley, feared by conservative operators
for several days, occurred today, influenced
to some extent by the drop in Eastern mar
kets, caused by the bearish Government re
port. Cash prices for all cereals remained
fairly firm, owing to small available sup
piles, but buyers were cautious. Heavy ship
ments of old wheat arrived from the North,
mostly sold ahead to millers.
The fruit market had little change, though
the general tone was easy for nearly all de
ciduous varieties, as supplies were ample.
Citrus fruits were quieter.
Dried fruits are firm, especially prunes, but
no reliable prices for the new crop can yet
be given.
Upper grades of white potatoes are In mod
erate tupply and firm, but much poor stock
could be had below regular rates. Onions
were easier. Tomatoes were lower under a
large influx from tho river.

Idaho Crop Report.
The Idaho weekly crop bulletin eays In part:
Fruit made rapid advance during the week:
raspberries are being marketed in increasing
quantities; berries In many elevated sections
prom'-se a better yield than was at first ex
pected. Later fruits are growln- well.
The warm dry weather was beneficial to
all grains in northern counties, and during
the week there was no complaint of lodged
grain; the outlook for wheat In that portion
of the state is highly satisfactory. Irrigated
grain In southern counties Is maturing rapid
ly and promises good returns, but "dry farm
crops are suffering from drouth. Corn has
made good growth in all sections, and the
earliest Is in tassel.
Second-crop alfalfa Is starting well where
well watered: harvest of the first, crop pro
gressed rapidly In eastern counties except
where retarded by high winds. High ranges
are still good and stock Is in excellent condi
tion. Some beets have not yet been thinned or
properly cultivated owing to scarcity of labor,
but welt cared for fields are making excellent
progress and promise- good returns. Potatoes
and garden vegetables are doing welt.
WaehJnston Crop Report.
The Washington weekly crop bulletin saya
In part:
The first part of the week was cool and
fine, and was very favorable for the growth
of grain and all crops. The last three days
were very warm, culminating In a hot spell
on tho Sth and 9tlc accompanied by hot
winds which were injurious to wheat, espe
cially to Spring wheat, which' Is heading out.
If the hot term is net prolonged beyond the
10th the damage to wheat wilt be compara
tively slight, however.
The warm weather Is ripening Winter wheat
very rapidly, and some will be ready to cut
by or before the 15th. Harvest will become
general before the close of another week.
Some Winter wheat la lodged rather badly.
There are a few reports of rust and smut,
and sosi report fields very weedy. Not
withstanding the hot winds, the present con
dition of Spring wheat is exceptionally fine
and promising. Oats are heading out nicely.
Cam. hops and potatoes are thriving.
The weather has been Weal for haying,
and hay-making has been the principal farm
work of the week. A fair crop is being- se
cured In very fine condition. A heavy crop
of berries Is now belm marketed. Pastures
are In very good condition for the time of
year.

SHARP BREAK AT CHICAGO
Government Figures Indicate the
Total Yield or Spring and Win
ter Wheat This Year Will
Be 680,000,000 Bushels.
CHICAGO, July 12. The wheat market was
weak from the start. At the opening the
September option was off 4c to ic at
874c to S74c As the session advanced,
prices continuously dropped off under general
profit-taking.
Two factors were responsible for the ex
treme weakness that prevailed throughout the
day. One of these factors was the Govern
ment report. Issued late yesterday. A bullish
report hod been generally xpected. but In
stead the report was decidedly bearish. Ac
cording to the official statistics, the condition
of S2.7 reported for Winter wheat indicated
a production of 416.000.000 bushels. The con
dition of 91 reported for Spring wheat gave
promise of a yield of 273.000.000 bushels. The
estimated total yield of Spring and Winter
wheat. 659.000,000 bushels. Is much In excess
of last year's crop, tho yield for the United
States a year ago having been estimated at
532.0CO.CiH) bushels. Aside from the Govern
ment report, the chief factor In contributing
to the selling pressure today was the weather
throughout the greater rart ot the wheat
growing country. Little or no news of a
character detrimental to growth was received.
Extreme weakness of the September option
at Minneapolis had a beartah effect on the
market here. For September, the lowest
point of the day wa- reached at $3"4e. The
market closed weak, with September at 86
8616c.
The corn market was decidedly weak early.
Toward the middle of the session. a,ctive sup
port from bull leaders Imparted a firmer un
dertone nnd caused a fair recovery In prices.
September closed at 53c. a loss of gc.
Weakness of other grains caused a slight
reaction In the oats market. September
clesed 4c lower at 314'3314c.
Sc-lltng by prominent packers was responsi
ble for a weak market An provisions. At the
close.' September pork was oft 224c. lard was
