Tactically all the Oregon hops held by opec-

bales can be accounted for, and of these
fO bales are held by Krebs Bros., who will
cell beore September or October. Buyers
est now go direct to the grower for their
;ds. It is believed some 8000 bales remain
Lid in first hands in the state. The grow-
fe holding very firm, which accounts 'for
tscnt lull in the market. There are
Ir'cf orders here and at Salem, but dealers
it almost impossible to fill them. Should
growers continue to stand together as
HI, it is likely they will force . the market
a notch or two, something that could not
done while the speculators were unload-
Ittggo. of Dallas, sold the last of his hold-
js yesterday. 85 bale at 18 cent. , This
usaction and the purchase by A. J. Ray of
bales from Trulllnger. of Liberal, at 16,5
Ints, was all the business reported.
Rome of the bear dealers arc sending out
Sports that the English crop- la estimated at
13,000 to 700.000 hundredweight. The wide
ngc in the figure shows the lack of value
such estimates and discloses the fact that
ey are purely guesswork. The London Times
its last report on English hops placed the
Indltlon of the growing crop at 98 per cenL
it average output in the past 15 years has
hen -450,000 hundredweight. This report was
lade two weeks ago and the crop is Just
pw enterlnc on the critical season, the period
then in past years the greatest damage has
ben wrought.
(Hopmen declare, that It is not the size of
he English crop, but that of America, that
the leading factor in the making of prices.
uere is a normal demand in England for
sout 0,000 bales of American hops, and no
tatter what their crop will be, they will re
quire that amount from this side. Uneatls-
irtory reports continue to come frpm the
irds of California and New York, as well as
it state, and it Is undeniably this fact thai
a- lately stiffened the market
DECIDUOUS FRUITS SCARCE.
caches Advance Under a Strong Demand
California Melons Palmed Off for Oregons.
The market 'was almost bare of deciduous
iruit yesterday. A car arrived In the after-
toon, but too late to be of service. Peaches
s-ere In very strong demand and Roseburg
Prawforda sold up to 60 cents and $1. Two
tans of peaches are due today.
There was much indignation on Front street,
Caused by an effort made to palm off small-
Hie Lodl melons as Oregon fruit. No Oregon
vatermelons are expected before the 15th of
als month. Three cars of Lodl melons came
In yesterday, also one can of Exeter canta
oupes, two cars of lemons and a mixed car
3f lemons and oranges. Grapes were over-
lentlful and sold as low as Jl a box.
There was a good demand for tomatoes and
he price advanced to COffSS cents. Green corn
ras a drug on the market and dropped to
75 cents a sack. Potatoes are steady with
ttvr arrivals of strictly good stock.
CHICKEN MARKET WEAKER.
ceipts Are Good, but the Demand Is
Light Poor Eggs Arriving.
The chicken market is rather weaker under
fairly large receipts and a light demand. Hens
mge in price from 12V41S4 cents, and on
Springs 10 icents is the top, with most rales
ade one cent under this. Very few turkeys
coming In and the market on thorn Is
Spring turkeys are quoted up to 23$?24
hi old ones at 1S19 cent. Ducks and

pre are no further developments in the
r situation. Trade Is fairly good and.
ti are quoted firm.
Grocery Notes.
Sago and tapioca have advanced S5 cents
hundred.
Dried peachea are scarce and firm. The
rflrat arrtal of new peaches is looked for soon.
The market is stiff on canned salmon, par
ticularly Fraser River sookeyes. The trade
looks for an advance all along the line, on
both Alaska and Fraser River goods.

SEEKING . MARKET
Large Offerings of Northern
Wheat at San Francisco.
CAUSE SLUMP IN PRICES
December Option Declines Sharply
Despite Firmness at Chicago
and Abroad Fruit Season
Reaches Its Height.
SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. 4. (Special.)-Tbe
slump In the local wheat market during tbe
past few days Is attributed to Urge offerings
of Northern wheat here at less than option
prices. Weakness continued today, and De
cember was freely sold down to 1.42. despite
the firmer tone of Chicago and foreign mar
kets. Cash -prices closed weak, buyers hav
ing withdrawn for tbe time being. December
barley, affected by the wheat decline, had a
sharp drop, but became steadier In the final
dealings. Cufh barley and other grains were
fairly steady for choice lots and easy for
lower grade.
Receipts of leading descriptions of Summer
fruits were lighter. The season has about
reached Its height. Surplus stock? of peaches
and pears are still heavy, but are expected
to be largely reduced' In a few days, when
firmer prices may be seen. The market Is glut
ted with common apples. Fancy shipping plums
are ecarce. Seedless grapes- advanced sharply.
Lemons and oranges -are easier. Mexican
limes are hither.
Prices for potatoes are bo higher, but a
steadier tone was reported In river kinds, as
the low values have awakened a shipping de
mand. New Merced sweets- are more plentiful
and lower at 3 to 3Vi cents. Onions are'
in heavy supply and generally weak. Fancy
Lima beans are scrace and higher.
Butter Is steadier, with more movement.
Cheese is well sustained. Eggs are unsettled
and irregular. Receipts, 67.000 pounds butter,
20.900 pounds- cheese. 44.1M dozen eggs.

SPORT IN STOCK TRADING
MARKET SHOWS BOTH CONSIST
ENCY AND STRENGTH.
Union Pacific and St. Paul ParUclr
pate in the 3Iovcmcnt Con
fidence In Grain Crop.
NEW YORK. Aug. 4. The exchange had
quite a lively hour following the opening to-,
day and the market showed more consist
ency and strength during that period than
at any time during the week. A' good effect
was produced on sentiment by the fact that
tnich eubstantial market leaders as Union
Pacific and St. Paul were fully partlclpatant
In the movement, to the exclusion to some
of the less Influential specialties which have
made up mueh of the market's prominence
on recent days. But the effort to carry prices
higher seemed to have exhausted itself with
this 'spurt, and the later trading reverted
to the class of specialties which may be
moved with much less effort. With the sub
sidence of the early active demand, a drop
ping tendency' In the standard stocks became
observablei The heaviness had no mere news
to explain It than did the early strength.
The active buying of the first hour was pro
fessedly based on growing confidence ' In the
grain crops, and It was sought to convey the
Impression that information was available to
the buyers on this subject through the ar
rangements for securing supplies by tbe great
cereal-producing companies.
The preference tor less conspicuous market
Readers in the later movements turned to some
of the high-priced railroad t locks which the
extraordinary market course of Lackawanna
has helped to make attractive. Record prices
for Central Railroad of New Jersey and for
Northern Pacific, with the exception of the
comer in the latter stock, -were the conse
quence. American Smelting was another stock
to touch to a. new Thigh record prlcV A num
ber of minor stocks made their appearance on
the tape for the first time la' months, to be
moved upwards with a dash on llgbr transac
tions. The Coalers and tbe Southern group
rested after their previous advance.
The early atrength in Union Pacific waa ex
plainable by the reports of net earnings for
that system and for Southern Pacific for
June, which made their appearance during
the day. showing an Increase over the pre
ceding June, which reported nearly 41.000,000
for the two systems.
The check to buying which showed In the
later market may have been due to considera
tion of the bank statement. It was notice
able, however, that an easier tone was reported

'JETW YORK. Augr. 4. Engineer Wil
liam Moody rolled with his -engine down
a steep embankment at Bayonne. N. J..
today, and was drowned. The engine
plunged out ot sight into deep water.
The crowded excursion train on the Cen
tral Railroad of New Jersey was left
marooned and with passengers panic
stricken, on a trestle above the bay, saved
from the same fate only by a broken
coupling-pin and the bravery of the lost
engineer, who went to his death while In
the act of setting the emergency brakes.
The train was running from Atlantic
City, and had Just passed over a bridge
at moderate speed, when the engine ran
into an open switch, and was derailed,
along with the tender and two baggage
cars. At this point the rails are laid on
a steep embankment, which forms the
bridge approach, and the engine and
tender toppled over the embankment.
The coupling-pin between the tender and
first car snapped, leaving the coaches,
which, fortunately, stopped, on the em
bankment Tne fireman saved himself by
Jumping. No passengers were injured.

ASHEVTLLE. N. C Aug. 4. Two let
ters and a photograph received tonight
from Fort, Worth. Tex., indicate that the
body of an Englishman which has lain
unidentified In a receiving vault In this
city for nine months Is that of a man
who claimed to be "Lord Douglas.' but
who was. In fact, known to the police ot
Fort Worth as a bigamist. The photo
graph and description accompanying it
fits the body perfectly, as can be ascer
tained from such a short examination.
The., letters contain evidence of
the statement that Douglas was married
to at least four women. The Mesdaraes
Douglas known at present are women
In California and Colorado, from whom
the first Mrs. Douglas has heard.
All of the women claim, according to
the letters, to have been deserted shortly
after marriage, and Mrs. B. E. A. Doug
las declares that Douglas robbed her of
all her money and Jewelry.
