The market for new crop wheat will not lopen fully until the crop has been harvested. but some business In a email way is being I done for nature deliver'. Seventy-five cents has been paid for club, but all that buyers I would quote yesterday In view of the slumps I in all markets, was 72&T3 cents. Bluestem was quoted at 77060 cents, and Valley at 175 cent p. There is no old wheat for sale, except in insignificant quantities, and prices are therefore nominal, but it is probable tbat About SO cents club would be paid for such if it were offered. I Puget Sound dealers have been rending out Mjuotatlons on the basis of the old market. which can be explained in part by the re cent strong demand and extreme prices paid lor wheat for shipment to Mexico. Had the transportation 'companies that control the ocean business out of Portland also placed a, steamer at the disposal of merchants here, eo they could have Joined in the shipments to Mexico before the new duty becomes effective, local dealers might also be able to quote the zame figures. As It is. the buying is on the basis of San Francisco, the only present out let, and the markets of that state govern values here. Some samples of new wheat have been re ceived from East of the mountains, and tbey are pronounced to be unusually fine. Advices regarding the wheat crop in for eign countries up to the present time are not very definite, and somewhat conflicting. In Europe the changes, compared with last year, will be unimportant. Unsettled weath er bas reduced the crops slightly in some of the smaller countries. Indications point to fairly good yields of wheat In England. Germany. Rou mania, Bulgaria and Austria Hungary, moderate crops in Russia, Spain. Portugal. Turkey. Sweden and Norway. Rains have slightly reduced the French crop, and war -complications may curtail the production in Russia and internal dlssenrlons possibly in terfere with the export movement. In the ag gregate It may produce a slightly reduced crop. Harvesting Is progressing favorably in some of the leading countries. Rye crop In the aggregate will probably not be ne large as last year. Asiatic countries will probably not have as large crops as in 1001. India's crop was about S0.O00.000 bubhels less than last year. In Africa, about the usual crops will be secured. In Argentina and Uruguay the outlook favors a good crop, but in Chill it will be reduced. Australasia will probably raise a better crop than last year, as the outlook is encouraging. Canada will undoubt edly have a better wheat crop In all sec tions than secured in 1001. Mexico will prob ably have less. The following estimate Is given of the probable world's wheat crop for the past two years: Countries 1005. bu. 1004. bu. North America .... 783.000,000 641,000.000 South America .... 165.000,000 141,000,000 Europe 1.700.000.000 1.726.000.000 Asia 450.O00.O00 51Jt.000.0C0 Africa r.o.ooo.000 &0.000.000 Australasia 70,000,000 55,000.000 Total 3.220.000,000 3. 132.000.000 CALIFORNIA HOr CROr SHORT. Mendocino County Grower Says Yield "Will Be Two-Thirds of Last Year's. Charles Cunningham, one of the most ex tensive hopgrowers of the Russian River dis trict, in Mendocino County. Cal.. who has been visiting hopyards of Oregon, says that the yield of hops in California this year is estimated at about two-thirds of that of last year. The decrease, he believes to be due to warm weather In January and February, followed by cold weather in March. The im opinion was expressed by O. A. Lor ds, a Sacramento grower, when he passed through this city recently. Mr. Cunningham visited several yards in the vicinity of Salem and says he found come that will yield heavy crops and others that, practically speaking, will not yield a pound. The difference, he thinks. Is due to spray ing. Some yards not sprayed at the proper time are badly affected, by lice and honeydew. and the crop will be a total failure. Mr. Cunningham speaks only of the few yards he has seen and does not estimate the Ore gon crop. From the fact that one yard will yield a heavy crop while another yard with Just as good a stand of vines will yield nothing, he thinks the value of spraying should this year be sufficiently demonstrated. J. A. Jones, of Newberg, says that In his part of Yamhill County the yards are doing very well, especially those that were sprayed. There are no bad yards in the neighborhood of .his. ranch. Mr. Jones believes the crop of the stale will be large, exceeding 100,000 bales, and he cannot see anything In present conditions the world over to cause high prices this year. lie ports to the Weather Bureau from its cor respondents throughout the Valley are that hop burrs are forming and the vines grow ing, well. Hop lice are still to be fqund, but they are lew numerous than formerly. Some of the reports follow: Yamhill County Hops are doing fairly well. Marlon County The weather continues hot, proving of great benefit to hops, by causing the lice to dis appear. Polk Count' Hops are making good growth and seasonable development. Lice are still in evidence, but are doing no harm. Spraying is still being done. Linn County Hop .spraying is about done, and the crops look fine now. BUTTER ADVANCE CHECKS TRADE. Bttt Demand Is Expected to Recover Qalck ly Supply of Cream lacreasteg. The advance by the city creameries to the atVcent basis has temporarily checked trad ing, as is generally the case, but the usual volunje of business Is expected to return in a 4y or" two. The weekly report of the Weather Bureau teewed yesterday shows that pasturage is get ting afeert amf tb 8ew of milk Is decreasing, but Mt mora than ueml at thU season est Use year, which JiMtMec t action taken la rate lug prieaa.

Clatsop County Pastures continue good and the milk supply is abundant. Tillamook County Some cows are drying up. BANANAS FROM THE SOUND. Small Local Ship hi rat Brtracat In Scarcity of Good Orrgos Teaches. A email local shipment of bananas was brought over from the Sound to tide over the market until some come rom the South. Good Oregon peaches were scarce, but there was a sufficient supply of deciduous fruits. Thirteen cars of watermelons were reported to be on the track. A fine lot of Oregon celery was received from Salem and was - offered at SI. Oregon cucumbers were a drug on the market and were quoted as low as 5 cents a box by same dealers. Weather Is Against Eggs. Not much poultry was received on Front street yesterday for the second day of the week, and It cleaned up readily. For old hens. 14 cents was quoted as the extreme, with 13 cents generally asked. Springs ranged from 15 to 17 cents. The weather was against the egg trade, and the .market was further unsettled by the quantity of poor eggs received from the country. , Light Trade la Meats. Receipts of veal In the last few days have been light, and so has the demand. It is probable that the warm weather Is responsible for the decreased consumption. Hardly any pork Is coming in, which is a good thing, as the Inquiry le light. Prices for dressed meats are unchanged, and to a certain ex tent nominal. Bask Clearings.

Some dealers de mand 26 cents and upwards for fancy cream ery. Others arc sending out card prices of 24Q24H cent. A fair average quotation is 25 cents. There- Is no lack of butter, but war is on between rival factions. Meanwhile, the reorganization of the old dairy exchange Is being pushed ahead In the hope of placing the market on a more legitimate basis. Stocks of cheere are large and prices weak. Eggs are plentiful, but prices are being boomed to as sist the tale of cold-storags and eastern goods. Receipts were (12,700 pounds butter, 7S00 pounds cheer e. 33.240" dozen eggs. Wheat and barley rpecuUUve markets had an off day and closed decidedly -weak. Cash barley was lower on liberal offerings, but spot wheat was quite steady. Oats were Arm for choice and weak for lower grades. Flour and mill feed were rteady. Receipts of hay were large and the market weak. Summer Trull were mederately active on local and shipping accounts. Peaches and apples were the weakest feature, supplies of both being heavy. Receipts o'f apricots are lerrenlag and the reason will soon be ever. Citrus and tropical fruits are unchanged. Arrivals of potatoes were much lighter, but a Urge accumulation on the wharrrs pre vented Improvement. Onions were In free supply, but steady under good shipping de mand. Other vegetables were easy. The hop market Is Alll unsettled. Picking will begin around Wheatland August 10.

Market Fluctuates on Crop Reports. CLOSE NEAR LOWEST POINT BHllIsh Streak In Middle or Session on'FHrtber 2ews or Damage by Black Rust Weather Bureau Advices. CHICAGO. July 23. Nervousness pervaded the wheat pit throughout the entire session. At the start the market was decidedly -weak, initial quotation on September being down HOlC at SSSSMUc Conditions In the North west constituted the chief source of weak ness. The weather throughout the Dakota and Minnesota was still of a kind to min imize the danger of spread of black rust. Another rtason for heavy selltng that pre vailed at the opening was found In liberal ar rivals of new wheat at Chicago.

Today stock mar ket bad clearly enough fallen back Into the hand of the smaller professional element which trades at the board room day in and day out the year round, a against the ele ment which embarks In extensive speculative campaigns with Intervals; away from the stock market. The general public shows no sign ot Interest In tne market. The buying movement ct Monday to cover short contracts put out on Saturday was carried over lnio the early part of today, and small speculative partle operated for an ad vance In one of two stock In which there were plausible motive for an advance Read ing rebounded sharply from Saturday's at tack, owing to the disclaimers publicly ex pressed by the president of the United Mine workers of the alleged danger of a strike. The United States Steel stock were taken In anticipation of a strong showing to be made by -the-quarterly report of net earnings. The demand for stock wa not extended largely beyond the needs of the short sellers of last week. The recovery In the pric of wheat today wa accompanied .by some .trivial black rust reports trotn Washington wheat regions. The glaring discrepancy between the tenor of tnese report and thos of the Weather Bu reau weekly crop bulletin did not deprive them ot Influence both In the wheat and stock market, and the late reaction In stocks was largely attributed to this cause. Report from th West spoke ot a hardening tendency In the money market there and the expectation of higher rate within a short time owing to the loaned-up condition of the banks and the prospect or active business conditions a the crops are harvested. The New York money market was called easy, but principally from the lightness ot the de mand, the funds offering showing no notable Increase in vilume. The stock market of tit latter part of the day fell Into almost total neglect, but the decline wa partly recovered and the closing was steady. Bonds were steady. Total eales. par value, $l.S14.(XO.

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 the Philippine Islands are soon to have Marconi stations. News papers the world over have adopted the system to facilitate waterfront corres pondence. "The last America cup race Shamrock ITI vs. Columbia, was reported to New York by wireless. Its practical utility In warfare has been demonstrated in the Boer war and during the present Japan-Russia conflict." It is only a question of a shorf time before Marconi stations will girt the globe the great ocean liners act ing as connecting links. The It Atlantic cables cost J100.fOO.000. A Marconi station costs $200,000. Twenty-eljrht wireless stations at a cost ot 52.SO0.O0O will be able to -compete at every point with the 14 existing cables. Note the difference in cost of equipment and maintenance. The Atlantic cable will In time give way to the wireless sys tem, Tho old line telegraph companies will be unable to compete with the cuts In transmission charges1 which the Marconi Company will bring about." The stock of the British Marconi Company was put out at $5 a certificate and has since sold on the London Stock Exchange at $22, an advance of 340 per cent. "H. H. McClure. publisher: E.
