CHEESE Market Bp -cent County Fruit' Inspector James A. Held yes terday seized nearly a- carload ot infected California fruit. The lot comprised 38 boxes of peaches and 50 boxes oT pear. The condition of another car en the track is being Investigated. Oregon growers knew by this time that there is a law prohibiting the sale of diseased fruit, and. furthermore, that the law is be ing enforced, and California shippers are now to be made aware of the fact. Portland has po long been made the dumping ground for all the scaly produce that cannot be cold in other Coart States that It will reaulre a few jolts like these administered by the inspector to teach shippers a lesson. The goods condemned yesterday wore in spected while in the oar, and the lou will therefore fall on the grower and net on the merchant to whom they were billed. The peaches were of the Elberta variety, and were shipped by J. A. Ferguson, of Loomls. P2acer County, California. These were In fested by some kind ot a worm that operated under the skin, but did not attack the -eeed. The pears were Bartletts and were also full cf worms. Inspector ReM 16 finding less work to do every morning at the Plaza market, where he Is on hand at 4 A. M., before trading be gins. Yesterday he found only one bex of apples that would not pass inspection. As an Instance of the good results :of his work, It may be mentioned that apples that a week ago sold for only 76 cents a bex were yesterday morning selling at $1.2SC1.50. Heretofore the price of good fruit has been held down by the great quantity of trash offered, but as soon as the sale of diseased stuff was stepped, the grower -who took care of hl& orchard, and produced only' eound fruit was the first to profit jy it. Fruit inspection may mean higher prices to the oon Kiir.fr at the start, but it will protect him ar. : encourage the industry as well. .MELON TRADE BOOMING. Two Cars of Large-Size Lodls In Grapes Are More Plentiful. Two cars of fancy Lodi watermelons v were cn the track yesterday, averaging "25 to 30 pounds. Orders for Fresno melons have been discontinued, but the supply etill on hand Is large. The trade in melons was booming. Oregon cantaloupes were only fairly aotlve at $1 501.75 per crate. Seme Sacramento musk melons are offering at $1.75 a dozen, but most of those on hand yesterday -were moldy. Grapes were plentiful and sold weM. Mus catels were held at 51.50 a box, and Malagas from Sultana, Cal., at the same price. Sweet waters and Thompson's eeedltngs were quoted with a wide range of 08 cents to $1.25, ac cording to condition. Lodi advices are to the effect that the crop of Tokay grapes -will be heavier than cvor before, notwithstanding the hot spelL Oregon peaches were more plentiful and moved well at 60 00 cents. Two cars of lemons are due today. WHEAT MARKET WEAKER. Trices Are Gradually Declining to an Ex port Basis San Francisco Lover. The wheat market has a -weaker tone, in sympathy with the decline at San Francisco, which was largely brought about by the heavy offerings from this section. "Wheat mer chants yesterday quoted club at 7273 cento on the basis of the California prices, but millers were offering' up to 75 cents for choice milling grades. The -oeast market ap pears to be gradually declining to an export basis, which will permit of activity. , It is believed the California demand for early shipment has beon about satisfied, and If surh Is the case, a good movement to Europe in be looked for as soon as prices descend to a figure that will make suoh business profit able. No sailing ships or steamers have been chartered yet, and It Is not likely Jhal any will he taken until the exporters have bought the wheat with which to fill them. ADVANCE IN BUTTER, City Creameries Go Up to 27 Cents Front Street Stocks Light. The city creameries have advanced the price of butter to 27 cents. The new quotations were sent out yesterday morning. Drying up of pastures and consequent decrease in the supply of cream are the reasons for the ad Vance. On Front street, the market was very Arm yesterday, but no higher. 25 cents being quoted as the top. Some sales of stale brands were made at 234 cents, and butter that was not sr. fly fresh was offered at 224 cents. The street was almost bare of desirable grades, and some houses were onilrely without tun. piles. The cheese market was quoted strong, at 13 cents for twins, with an advance ten dency. POTATOES SLOW SALE. Prospects Are for Largo Crop In This State. Car of Streets Coming. The potato market continues slow, as re ceipts are good and there is as yet no ship ping demands Jobbing quotations hold at 65 75 cents SOr average choice offerings. Reports from the country are that the crop Is large and of good quality.- but- it is feared that if the hot weather continues, at may cut down the size jpf the yield. ' The first car of rnerce'd sweets will etart Friday for the market. Some small ship ments have already been received. Too Many Poor Tomatoes. Complaint was made yesterday of the large receipts of poor tomatoes from the White Salmon country, which dealers were offering at 50065. -cents a box. A "better grade from The Dalles was bejd at 75S5. cents, and some very choice cnes-.from-.the same place brought $1- Green corn was in oversupply and weak at 75 cents a sack. Hothouse cucumbers are out of the market. There Is plenty of out door tock. but little of It reaches Front street Oregon egg plant has declined to'6 10 cents. A car of fancy yellow onions came la yesterday. More Eastern Eggs Coming. Another car of Eastern eggs will arrive the early pan of this week, which it U- sup posed will be the last of the season. The egg market was slow all around yesterday, with a weak tendency. Quotations were given of 22224 cents, with most of the business at the lower figure. The presence of Eastern eggs, the hot weather and the poor quality of most of the offerings, have combined to dopress the market There was no poultry market yesterday. but a fair trade' Is looked for during the week.

Depression Caused br Clear "Weather Generally Throughout North west Decline at Minneapolis. CHICAGO. Aug. 7. Bearish sentiment was dominant in the wheat pit throughout the en tire session. Notwithstanding a decreare . of 2.326.000 bushels in the amount of wheat on passage, the market opened weak -with Sep tember down H to ic. at 63", to S3ic The principal factor responsible for the depression was clear weather generally throughout the Northwest Some rain had fallen in Minne sota, but practically no precipitation bad been recorded in the Dakota. Moreover, the Weather Bureau forecasted a continuance of favorable condition during the next twenty four hours. Reports from Minneapolis Indi cated that the crop was maturing rapidly In the Northern districts, while In the Southern districts harvetlng was making great head way. A sharp decline at Minneapolis added emphasis to the dispatches regarding crops. Practically nothing of Importance was found in the day's news to give encouragement to bulls. Selling was liberal during the first hour, and as a result the prices of September decreased to S2. Trading waa jqulet there after until the last, when a steadier tone developed on moderate covering by shorts. The market closed easy.

A study of the list In detail re veals that the market was somewhat narrow and restricted In spite of the general ap pearance of strength. The Inertia, of a larga proportion of the etandard railroad stocks was a striking feature of the market which is only dull, however, by considering what was not done In trading as well as achieved. The dosing of the London Stock Exchange for a holiday and the continued vacation absence of a large element of the Stock Exchange membership here are factors In the compara tive dullness of the market But these qualifying considerations do not obecure the fact that some very striking ad vances were accomplished during the day. The buying which caused these was concentrated upon the specialties to a conspicuous extent In the same way that the market of last week was affected. The motives for the demand were, however, to a large extent Jn the general conditions. The news or the day waa pretty favorable In Us general tendencies, and covered crop conditions and prospects for rail road earnings, and traffic demand for anthra cite, large orders for all claetes ot steel products and austalned ease In tht money market Reports were specific of the very large orders being placed for Iron and steel products, some of the mills refusing, as It waa said, to consider new business, except for shipment late in the year or next year, as they are already overcrowded with work. The iron and steel Industrial gave evidence ot -organized sup port and moved as though a speculative party had embarked in the campaign for higher price. The United States Steel stocks did not meet the widest movements, "but had an Important sentimental influence on the general list Railroad traQc officials were quite unani mous In reporting a volume of traffic which was fast taxing the greatly expanded equip ment facilities which have been added to alt the great railroad system m tie last few months. Grain has commenced to move freely, except fcr eome backwardness In the corn movement and orders for all grades of mer chandise are reported to be on a large scale based on the growing confidence in the crop outturns. The grangers were- relatively back ward, owing to the comparatively small move ment of grain and the critical period yet to be parsed tor its maturity. The action of the market was due in no rmall part, however, to the maturing ot the conviction that the country's grain crops are practically assured and that they will prove large. The Southern railroads enjoyed another advance In concert without regard to the poorer outlook for cotton. Saturday's unfavorable bank statement was the subject ot some discussion, but the sus tained ease of the money market soothes all apprehension based on possible future devel opments. There was some profit-taking late in the day. but prices recovered again and the closing was strong and quite active. There waa a large demand for United States Steel second fives. The movement of prices In the general bond list waa slightly irregu lar but mostly strong. Total sales, par value, $4.1&2.rC0. United States bonds were all un changed 6a call.

WILL USE PURE SULPHUR Picking Will Be by Weight, Prob ably at the Rate of Ninety Cents to One Dollar a Hundred Pounds. INDEPENDENCE. Or.. Aug. 7. (Special.) The hopgrowers meeting announced for thlo afternoon brought together the largest num ber of growers ever assembled In one body in Oregon. "We meet." said E. C. Kirkpatrkrk. chair man of the meeting. "In the center of one of the world's biggest hop districts." The Horst Bros. vast acreage and the big Krebs' yards wnre represented; also the Otten helmer yard. Rose yard. HIrschberg's. Wal ker. Groves. Percival. Hubbard. Hill Bros.. Fltchard's. Cooper's. Taylor's and others. The Dalles country was represented, and there were representatives from the Baltston dis trict. King's Valley, Lucklamute. Independence Bottom. Buena Vista, Rtckreall and Lincoln. Upwards of 4000 acres of hops were repre sented and yards that will produce over 33 1-3 per cent of the State yield. The smaller yards were also represented by In all 85 growers. A variety of subjects were dis cussed and marked harmony prevailed among the growers. The matters discussed are em bodied In the following resolutions, which were unanimously adopted: "Resolved, That this meeting of bopgrowers assembled, representing the majority of the hopgroweri of Polk and Marion Counties, de clare as Its aim and desire to pick hops as cleanly aa possible, baling them In neat and square bales, carefully sewed, using not to exceed five yards of standard hopcloth, bales to weigh between 173 and 210 pounds each. That we will not use any sulphur that Is not guaranteed to be free of arsenic That we will pick our hops. by weight, believing that to be the fairest to both the pkker and the grower." The resolutions settle the matter of picking by weight under the new law. It may also be considered as giving voice to the deter mination of growers to have clean picking of hops this year. The meeting did not go to record on the matter of price to be paid for picking, though It seemed to be the con census of opinion that the prlee be 90c to $1 per hundred pounds. HOP TRADING DULL. Growers Refuse to Consider Buyers Offers. Conditions In New York State. The local hop market was very dull yester day and the same conditions prevailed at Saltm. Quite a number ot orders were on hand, but 'dealers found It impossible to do business with growers. The latter held firmly and declined ta market supplies at current rates. Among the day's advices was the following telegram received by E. J. Smith from Seth Parsons, a prominent grower of Sharon Springs. N. Y.: "Crop prospects fnliy one third below last year." The New York Journal of Commerce Is grad ually reducing Its estimates from the high figures of the early part of the season on the crop ot New York State. In the issue of August 2. that paper said: The market was reported as holding firm. The advices received t from up the State were to the effect that tte crop will fall short of earlier expectation, and estimates of the crop now range from 50.000 to 60.000 bales. It Is stated that the crop ta budding poorly and that It will be largely a top crop. Re ports being received from the Coast also claim that the outturn of the crop, particularly In California and Oregon, will not come up to earlier estimates. Offerings are small, and there are buyers at full quoted prices. The California Weekly Crop Report says that In the Sacramento Valley hops are making satisfactory growth and the outlook Is good for a cair crop, but In the Coast section the crop will be below average, though the vines are In fair condition. The Santa Rosa. Cat. Republican of Aug ust 3. said of the market In that section: Almost every dealer In the field has orders for 1904 hops, but there are no sales re ported, although an ofTer of 1S4 cents was made yesterday afternoon to Homer Goulet and P. P. Goulet for their holdings of 60S bales, but it was refused. Some little effort has been made by some dealers to make con tracts on futures, but with no success, as the growers are holding out strong against con tracting their 19C5 growth. Among yesterday's arrivals at the Belvedere were Frank D. Miller, of Oneonta. N. Y.. and Charles May. of Albany, two well-known East ern hoproen. Julius Plncus. of Lachmund & Plncus. Salem, was also In the city. He eays the crop is coming down well around Salem. Coffee and Sugar. NEW YORK. Aug. 7.
