New hay is being offered on the market lib erally, but up to the present time only a limited quantity has came in.

T7e following reports by counties "have been "received from correspondents of the "Weather Bureau. Clackamas County Cheat hay is all cut.

HOPGROWEUS HOLD FIRM. Efforts Made Up thr Valley to Check Rav ages of Vermin. There was not much activity in the hop market yesterday, as growers showed them selves to be strong holders and generally re fused to consider bids offered by buyers. There was much interest in the report from North Yamhill of the loss of 335 bales of hops there by fire. This disposes of all the remaining 1004s In that district. The weather of the past two days has been good for the crop, but lice are Mill very numerous, and spraying is under way. The following reports have been received by the Weather Bureau: Yamhill County Hop spray ing Is progressing, the weather favoring the lice. Clackamas County Hop are doing bet ter, Marlon County Hops are doing wc.ll. but on account of aphis, no one can guess how large or how good the crop will be. Polk 'ounty Liberal spraying and favorable father are holding vermin in complete cheek. New York advices explain the Increased ac tivity of that market by the hot weather that has been prevailing, which has caused a better demand from brewers. A New York letter of the 14th said; 'For eign advices reported a favorable crop out look tn England, but advices from the Con tinent ar conflicting, some reports stating that German crop prospects are less promising. TEN CARS OF WATERMELONS. Market Weaken Under Excessive Re Receipts. There were heavy receipts of fruit on Front street yesterday, but a good demand was ex. preienced for all varieties. Still, the surplus In some lines caused a -weakening of prices, notably In the case of watermelons. Six car loads of this fruit arrived in the morning, and four more came in in the afternoon.

Spot Prices at San Francisco Held Firmly. Despite .Continued Heavy Arrivals. SAN FRANCISCO. July 18. (Spcla!.)-Grain speculation was less active in the local mar ket. Wheat, though opening higher, soon had a weaker tendency following Chicago Barley showed stubborn strength throughout, due chiefly to poor harvest returns from counties north ef San Franclscc Holders of pt barley ask stiff prices despite continued large arrival. Receipts of oats are far below requirement, and the markt is very firm. Rye is stronger at $1.45(51.50. Flour is steady, with a fair movement. Hay is easy on large .arrivals. Leading mill feeds are firm. The fruit market was badly glutted with peaches, apricots and plums, and aside frccn extra hlppiny stock, prices were very weak. Fancy wrapped Bartlett pears and. Gravea stein apples were In good shipping demand for Sound ports and steady. Grapes were In larger supply, but the quality continues poor. Trordeal fruits were dull. Lemons were weaker. Oranges were scarce. The potato market Is largely stocked and weak. Choice yellow onions are selling read ily for Australian shipment. Lima beans are easier. Tomatoes are In oversupply arx lower. There Is a short repply of strictly fine but ter. Houses thst have little on hand are forced to buy of their neighbors who have the goods, and the latter are charging all the t riffle will bear. This makes a very firm maiket. Cheese Is easy. Eggs are strong. Receipts. 61.000 pounds butter. 2100 pounds caceie. 35,130 dozen eggs.

MUCH ARSENIC FOUND IN IT British Chemist Examines Samples Sent From This State and Re ports His Findings to Carmichacl. SALEM. Or., July 15. (Spedal.)-That Ore gon hopgrowers' must exercise more care In the purchase of sulphur for use in th curing of hops. Is asserted by John Carmlchatl. an English hopbuyer In this city. He secured eight eamples of sulphur from Oregon grow ers and sent them to England fcr analysis. The report of the chemist shows that only two out of the eight samples were fit for 'tu in the curing of hops, all the others contain ing so much arsenic as to make them In Jnrious. The (reputation of Oregon bops. Mr. Carmichacl thinks, depends upon the use of purer sulphur. The analysis was made by' a chemist at the request of the largest tlrflf of bop merchants In London. In transmitting the result of TbiA&lfV? thi Arm whose name Mr. Carmichael withholds, eays: "London. England. June 2S. 1SOS. Mr. John Carmichael. Dear Sir: Owing to the ablu tion In England on the subject of arsenic In dried bops we have been requested by the Board of Trade" to Investigate this matter. We have bad made most careful analyses of the samples, of sulphur, fertilizers and spray ing emulsion you submitted to us eome time g- We IncJor you our chemist's report, which speaks for Itself, and. to our mind, quite disposes of the necessity of investigat ing further the source of troubles as regards the presence of arsenic la Oregon hops. Will you be good enough to take up this matter at once with all grower and warn them of the danger they are running In not using the purest sulphur obtainable. After the ad vice we are now able to give there is no ex cuse for growers not producing a hop prac tically fre from arsenic It Is most Im portant in the Interest of growers generally that this subject should be thoroughly venti lated. Some few years ago several people died In the north of England from arsenical poison ing, caueed througn drinking certain beers. In this partlcutar Instance the arsenic was traced to the sugar used In making the beer, and several brewers and sugar rtflners were ruined, one of the former pouring as much as 63.000 barrels of beer down the sewers. It was discovered that arsenic was to be found in hops with the result that the English Board of Trade determined that the minimum amount of arwnlc to be allowed In any hops used was to be .01 of a grain of arsenic to the pound of heps. The merchants used all their Influence to have this amount In creased to 1-50 of x grain to the pound pf bops, but without success. The London mer chants now have each their own expert ta whom all samples received are submitted, and they will be- unable- to purchase any hop, whether domestic or foreign, which contain more than .01 part of a grain of arsenic to the pound of hops. Many English growers samples show a very much largtr percentage of arsenic than any samples received from the Pacific Coast, which may be accounted for by the fact that they "dry" largely with coke and smokeless coal In an open fireplace; and that they burn their sulphur In the fire itself. Once again if the Oregon growers will use only the purest refined sulphur there Is no reason . whatever .why all. jhelr- hops should net paes the test. Chemists' Report. Dear Sirs: I now btg to report" the eight samples of sulphur received from you on June 14. The only two satisfactory are H. H. 7 and H. H. 10. II. II. 7 shows 1-H0th grain of arsenic per pound of sulphur, and there Is no evidence ef selenium. II. H. 10 shows l-100th grain of arsenic and no evidence of selenium. All the other samples are unsatisfactory. They contain dangerously high arsenic rates and also show distinct evidence of selenium. Selenium, as I explained In a previous re port. Is & very objectionable form of con tamination. The Selenium rather Interferes with the arsenic test, tending to make the arsenic come out too low. I am. therefore, reporting the unsatisfactory results as "at least" such and such an amount. By this I mean that each sample at least contains the amount of arsenic stated, and may contain raorc As the arsenics shown In my analysis are so high as to render necessary the condem nation of there sulphurs for hop-drying, the exact determlnatlou would enly tend to strengthen that condemnation. The results are as follona: H. H. 5 shows at least 1-3 of a grain of arvenlous oxide per pound of sul phur: H. H. 6, H of a grain; .H. II. S 1-16 of a grain; H. H. 0. 1 grain per pound; II. H 11. H grain per pound; H. H. 12. lh grains per pound. TRADING ON SMALL SCALE LACK OF 'BUSINESS IiEAXJS TO LOWER PRICES FOR STOCKS. -Bulk of the Day's Transactions Was in the First Hour of the Session. NEW TORK. July 18. A glancs.of fjvs total sales of stocks for the day wtfl 9nake clear that the trivial flnctuaJ06ra TfTcrA-era owing to the fact that no important tradfeg1 was done. The bulk ef the day's meager.busl neas was doss la the first hour of the ses sion, when a few testing operatlooa by trad ers wer in evidence. These attempts demon strated the llfeltfa condition of the market, and left It to the semi-stagnation of the rest or the day. The gravitation of prices to a. Sightly lower level during the day was aserfbable as much to Inanimation as to any active cause. Th9 Union Pacific dividend to be declared In the future was still much discussed, the contin ued belief being that the stock would b placed on a 5-per-cent dividend basis. There was nothing In the weekly crop bulletin to dis turb the recent confidence In the condition of the grain crops. Efforts to market small amounts of some of the dormant Industrial stocks resulted In heavy declines before bids were encountered, and this had a slightly dis turbing Influence on seatlsstst. The recent added demand for six months' tlma money was extended ta that market for loans of some of the shorter periods, and loan bnla were offered 4a the foreign exchange, marktt with the effect of keeping down the price of exchange. Some effect was produced by reports ef further sales of foundry plx- iron and by the strong Leaden market for copper.

MARCONI SECURITIES Offer an Exceptional Opportunity for Profitable Investment Shares In the American Marconi Company offer tne greatest opportunity for money-maklnjr (with less, chance of loss) since Bell Telephone stock -went from One Dollar to One Thousand Dollars a share. Millions have been made by the fortunate holders of trans-Atlantic Cable Stock: additional millions by Edison Electric Shares In the English Marconi Company In creased In value from $100 to $150. What the English company has done the American company will do and more. Is that not the history of English and American enterprises? The Marconi "Wireless Telegraph Company has passed the experimental stage, thereby entirely eliminating the element of chance. It is an assured entity a "com mercial necessity"; an assured money-maker. There are now no less than eight Marconi Stations In active operation on the Atlantic Coast: three In Alaska working uninterruptedly two hundred miles over mountains. The Pacific Coast, the "West Indies and Philippine Islands are soon to have Marconi Stations. It is only a question of a short time before Marconi Stations will girt the globe the great ocean liners acting as con necting links. Then you will see the Atlantic Cable abandoned and the old-line Telegraph Companies put out of business: mark the prediction. And all this is going to be brought about within a- few short years. The possibilities of "Wireless" are practically un limited. The Marconi system will reduce the cost of transmission and still pay enormous dividends on. every dollar Invested. Now is the time to put yoar money lato Marconi Securities before the price becomes prohibitive. A sensational advance in "Marconi Wireless" is looked for by the most conservative investors: we consider it absolutely safe, and almost certain to at Jcast double in value before another year. We are fortunate In obtaining a small block of Mar coni Wireless before the advance. This we are going to distribute among- our clients at the present ruling price. provided orders are sent In at once. Delay is almost certain to mean disappointment, as there are but a lim ited number of shares to be disposed of.

SLIGHT GAIN AT CHICAGO Falling Off in Deliveries of Xew "Wheat Expected In the Xear Future as a Result of the Declining- Prices. CHICAGO. July 18. Firmness In the wheat market developed soon after the opening. At the start a weak tone prevailed. Initial quo tations on September being; down c. at 62HtJS2Hc. news at hand being- entirely of a bearish character. 'Weather conditions throughout the wheat-growing sections of the United States were almost Ideal for the new crop, no rain being reported except scattered showers In the Dakotaa and Minnesota. The movement of new wheat In the Southwest was again ol large volume, aggregate arrivals to day at Kansas) City and St. Louis being 604,000 bushels, compared with 163,000 bushels a year ago. In addition, prices for wheat at Liv erpool showed considerable decline. However, after the first rush to sell was over, shorts became active buyers, and there was also a good demand from many traders who thought that the market had been oversold. Bull sentiment was stimulated by a report from Kansas City, predicting a falling off of new wheat in the near future, the continued de cline in the price of csjh wheat being given as the reason for the prospective decrease in arrivals. As a result. th market continued to become firmer, but the chief influence that teaded to encourage the bulls was the- fear of damage to Spring wheat by extreme high temperature and other potential causer.
