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

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

street was almost bare of desirable grades,
and some houses were onilrely without tun.

The cheese market was quoted strong, at
13 cents for twins, with an advance ten

Prospects Are for Largo Crop In This State.

The potato market continues slow, as re
ceipts are good and there is as yet no ship

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

receipts of poor tomatoes from the White

More Eastern Eggs Coming.
Another car of Eastern eggs will arrive 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

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.

SHOW OF STRENGTH
Striking Advances Made in the
Stock-Market.
SPECIALTIES IN DEMAND
Little Movement in the Standard
Railroad Issues Assurance of
Large Grain Crops the
Underlying factor.
NEW TORK. Aug. 7. An imposing show cf
strength resulted from today's trading In
stocks. 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.

Growers at a Meeting Declare
Their Intentions.
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

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.
