THE MOB&JQftx OKJEGOJlAJf, FRIDAY, AUGUST 4, 1505. ' 15 IN Market Is in Strong Shape in the East. OREGON WOOL IN BOSTON Ample Supply or Fruit, but Dcmnnd Is Checked by the Threatening Weather Country Produce, Except Butter, Easier. SUGAR Eastern situation reported as strong. WOOL Trading In Oregon wool at Boston. OATS First arrivals are of poor quality. BARLEY No new orop coming In. FRUIT Ample eupply of all varie ties. POULTRY Easier tone to the mar ket EGGS Complaint of quality of Ore gon and Eastern. I BUTTER Firm tone on Front street. The sugar market maintains a very strong position following the 10-cent advance early In the week, but beyond that, men In the trade decline to commit themselves, as there Irt not much to be gained by forecasting prices In this commodity. The markets In the "United States and Europe have acted Independently In their approach to the level of new-crop beets. On this side of the Atlantic stocks arc larger, both In the United States and In Cuba, Jh&n they were a year ago, and the stagna tion, caused by the continued absonce of buy ers during June and July, has brought the market nearer the new level than has boon the caee In Europe, where there Is a real shortage as compared with last year, and the bulls have had' things their way for the- last two weeks owing to the large uncovered sales of August beets. It Is probable that 30.000 tons of Java and 10,000 to 15,000 tons of Cubas were sold last week, further business being checked by the hlghor prices demanded by sellers. All the reports seem favorable regarding the growing beet orop, and the estimate made 60 far gives statistical Europe 5,881,000 tone, or 1.200,000 more than last year. Consider ing that the Invisibles throughout the world have been exhausted and will have to be re plenished, apd that consumption will be greater, particularly in Europe, than during the bumper crop of 6,700,000 tons in 1901-1002, the new crop excess production of 1.209,000 tons over last year should all be wanted and a stable market maintained throughout the next campaign. OREGON WOOL IN THE EAST. Selllmr Freely In the Boston Market Buy ers From Large and Small Mills. The feature of the Eastern wool market In the past week was the advent of many buy ers from lar,ge and. small mills. Sales have been frequent and well distributed, the medium, fired mills having been large buyers. Pur chases have likely touched the 10.000,000- pound mark, some even estimating higher. w;t"i the activity mostly, confined to all grades cf the new territory wools, says the Boston Commercial Bulletin. The goods, market has quickly responded to the high price of wool, and now all mills are looking for supplies. The production of the finished material' Is keeping pace with the available wool, and it Is said that there will be no more than enough to meet the require ments until the next clip. Although the clip of Australia has been lncrased this year and Is expected to be still further augmented in 1906, the demand will be able to take care of the production, and consequently the situation will be unaffected. The season has been more active than the same period of last year, and owing to the fact that the activity began earlier, more wool has been bought for con sumption. It Is cstlmatod that from one-half to two-thirds of the 1905 clip has already been disposed of. Sales of Territory have been made on scoured Basis of 72 to 75 ents for fine, up to 70 cents for fine -medium and 65. to 70 cents tor medium, according to grade. Oregon and Texas wools have been selling freely, and are now well cleaned up; Californlas are moving steadily. Arizona wools are also woll sold. Ohio and Pennsylvania fleeces have had a fair movement at full prices. -n-oois irom jaontana are arriving In uuui uiu wm continue to do ao for some four weeks Vet. Those wools received notwithstanding reports to the contrary, have. in most instances, appeared well. There has been talk of contracting the 1000 argentine clip, but the sheepmen demand Buch high prices that nothing has been ac complished. POULTRY DEMAND LIGHTER, Weaker Market for Spring- Chickens Com plaint of Quality of Eggs Butter' Tirm. An easing up In the demand for poultry Is reported by most dealers. Receipts have been running large and the demand, especially for fcpnng chickens, has fallen off. Old hens still sell well-. There Is a firm market for turkeys, but ducks and geese are very dull, There is also a lessened Inquiry for egge. yruun-uiy uue 10 u unsatisfactory quality or many or the offerings, both Oregon and jwwru. Aoouitr car or tne latter Is due the middle of next week, which will prob ably wind -up the season's business in East em eggs. Quotations yesterday were un changed. The butter market Is In good shape all arcund. "While a slow movement Is reported raoci ox uie Toni-reei dealers; yet re ceipts are growing lighter, which is causing a firmer feeling. Thore is no longer a sur plus on the street. Fancy creamery Is quoted a 22425 cents. The city creameries hold steady at 25 cents. FRUIT SUrrLY AMPLE. Oregon Cantaloupes Are Coming In Freely Diseased Fruit Seizures A fairly good business was done In fruits and vegetables yesterday, but the demand wouia nave Deen Better tout for the threat ening weather. The supply was ample and prices generally held steady. California can taloupes were abundant and were offered at 2.753T3. Oregons were held at 52.50S2.73. Watermelons were quoted at $161.40 per hundred pounBs. Somo Oregon grapes arrived lu the forenoon and were put On the market at $1.25 per crate. California grapes are abundant and are hold at $1.75. Another shipment of black cherries was received from nip the Valley and wore quoted at 50 cents. The County Fruit Inspector seized two loads of Infected fruit In farmers' wagons on the East Side, and albo condemned five boxes of pears at the Plaza market. .Sale of Powers' Hops. The sale of Judge Powers' hops, reported in tfcis paper yesterday, was At 14JS cents pound. This Is the lowest pries at which any thing except trash has been cold this reason. However, the price Is not an inaex to actual market conditions, as the lot was of low quality, such as la raised In many yards in the lower Sound country. There were 229 bales In the lot, which was the largest lot of hop remaining In Western Washington of the 1904 crop. The hop have been on the market for ten daya and only one offer was made for them. Joe Harris yesterday bought the Pooler lot at Salom, 23 bales, at 18 cents, which la the ruling value of good hops. Light Arrivals of Oats. A few mall shipments of new oats have been received, but they were of poor qual ity. Washington County oats are expected in the market Monday, but It wlU be a week or 10 days before much of the grain Is re ceived, and until then prices cannot be defi nitely established No new barley has come to band yet. Con siderable quantities are being offered In the Walla Walla country at $16. New bay is arriving more freely, but the. sale Is slow. Bank Clearings.

The iron trade gen erally continues In a very aund and satis factory condition, says the Iron Age The rush of buying In the Southern Held is ever for the present, and In the leading distrib uting markets Southern iron is slightly easier since some of the smaller companies are willing to sell on the basts of $11.59 for Bir mingham. The larger Interests who o4d heavily lately are asking better prices. A lot of 1060 tons of gray forge was sold for Pittsburg delivery at a rather low price. Considerable further quantities of mallea ble Bessemer pig have bees marked during the past week, and la the Chicago territory the condition of furnaces Is such that the eupply Is rather restricted. Domand for billets and sheet bar has con tlnucd good, and prices are higher, with some good business pending in Eastern Pennsyl vania both for steel and for muck bam The rail rnllln'are full of work. Seme large or ders which have been pending have not ye: been placed. For some ma!! lots. September delivery, there Is an Indication of readiness to pay moderate premium. The condition of the structural trade Is welt Illustrated by the beginning of construction work on a mill for rolling structural shapes at the Clalrton plant. This mill, which will have a capacity of 10,000 tons. Is to be com pleted In the extraordinary time of 18 weeks. The plate trade Is looking forward to a heavy additional tonnage for the large lot of eteel cars. Agricultural Implement mak ers have entered Into additional season con tracts for steel bars. The strong position of -cteet is having Its reflex action .upon sheets, la which conces sions are not being made as freely as before. The general demand for pipe shows little improvement, the oil country requirements are fair, and the buying of boiler tubes la good. There are at hand the first Indications of. the approach of buying of wire products for the coming eeason, but the movement ha not yet become pronounced. Dried Fruit at tr York.

Activity at New York Centers in Few Issues. PROFESSIONALS CONTROL Effect of the Return of J. P. Mor gan From Europe Interest Is Shown lu Appronchlng Peace Xegotiatlons. NEW YORK. Aug. 3. Professional ' oper ator bad the stock market to themselves to day and material to affect prices seemed to be scanty. Their ventures seemed to be re stricted to a limited list of stocks and these were handled In groups' likely to be subject to common Influence by reason of Identity of large holdings of stock by similar trade Interest or common traffic. Such group movement could be distinguished in the coalers, the Southern railroads, the Cana dian group and the ore and metal Indus trials. Professed reasons for these move ment were not offered In every case and In some Instances the workings of organized pool In the stocks were sufficiently per ceptible. Confidence In the anthracite trade outlook and the prospects for earnings of the coal carriers Is very general. It was sought to convey the Impression also that the return to the financial districts of J. P. Morgan, who appeared at his office today after his return from Europe, might be fraught with consequence to Reading and the Erics. The firmness of the United States Steel stocks was also attributed to the Morgan Influence, together with the contin ued favorable reports from that Industry. The ore and metal Industrials showed the continued effect of the persistent assertions of the working out of a merger plan. The great public interest shown In the approaching peace negotiations was fully ahared In the financial district, but without appreciable effect on the market for stocks here In foreign markets some slight de pression was a perceptible from this cause. Weather new affecting the grain crops was regarded a good. Money was easy, but the possible reduction of resources within the next few weeks come in for consideration. Sub-treasury operations show a balance against the banks thus far this week of over $3,300,000. the payment of Government Interest having shown no offset to the payment last Satur day of the Central Pacific note to the Gov ernment. The second installment of o per cent of the Japanese loan subscriptions was payable today, calling for only $2,300,000. The strength In special stocks did not awaken n comprehensive response at any time, but the greatest activity and strength of the day were in the Anal dealings, and the closing was strong at the highest.

Better System of Curing and Baling Is Required Reputotion of Product Is at Stake. SALEM. Or., Aug. 3. (Special.) If multi plicity of demands from England for more care In the picking and curing of Oregon hop will have any effect, the crop of 1003 In this state should be well cared for. Nearly every prominent hop firm has received urgent let ters calling attention to the need of more care in order that a high standard of quality may be attained. One of the latest of these letters was received today by Kola Nets, of this city, from a prominent London firm. The letter says: Before entering Into next season s busi ness, wc should like to call the serious atten tlon of Pacific growers to the handling of their hops, as. unless greater care Is used. the outlet In thl country will be considerably reduced. Many complaints have been received from cerauroera the past season on the follow ing points: First Arsenic: On analysis. several growths have been found to contain a much larger amount of this poison than is now al lowabte by recent act of our government. From careful Inquiries It ha been traced to the use of crude Japanese sulphur In the kilns and we believe can be entirely eliminated by using other brand of sulphur, easily procur able and practically free of this obnoxious element. 'Second Dirty Picking: The excessive amount of leaves, stems and other foreign matter have often amounted to 15 per cent of the content of the bale. Many of the large users of these bops refuse to accept bales so packed. In former years clean pick ing was a great feature In Pacific hopa and ma terially assisted the sale. Third Heavy Cloth: On all hops sold here. actual weight of cloth. Is allowed to the pur chaser. We find that not only a heavier sack lng, but an unnecejcory quantity Is now be ing used, often amounting to- 8 to 11 pound per bale If this continues, actual tare In fu ture will have to be allowed by growers. In no case should the weight exceed seven to eight pounds. "We hope you will kindly give the above your best attention and notify these growers whose heps we are In the habit of handling.'

Influenaed by higher price at Liverpool, the wheat market opened aulte firm, the September option being up a shade to 4S?jc at S4H81T4c. The strength of the English market was due to reported confirmation of a shortage In the Russian crop. On moderate demand from commission houses the September delivery touched S5c soon after the opening. Sentiment then be came bearish and plt-tradero sold freely. Con ditions affecting the Spring-sown erop formed the principal reason for the cnange m emi ment. Throughout Minnesota and the Dakota the weather was clear and the temperature Tr.nA.r7at in addition, the Government Bu reau predicted for tomorrow a continuance or conditions favorable to tne quick maturing wi the new crop. An a result, the early advance In prices today waa completely oonteratoa. TMit th rr.nrVt sazired below yesterday's final fliir.. September droDoInc to S4ic.
