PROVISIONS Lard and salt meats

Several hundred bales of "Washington hops
bave changed hands In the pact few days, re
ducing uneold stocks In that state to about
3000 bales. Dealers have enough orders to
take up the entire unsold quantity were it
marketed. They are turning their attention
now to the North, as it Is practically impossi
ble to buy In this. tate, except at an advan.ee.
In a letter dated August 6 to the Santa Rosa
.Republican, M. H. Durst, the Wheatland
grower, replies te the estimates of an anony
mous correspondent of that paper, who figures
out that, the' United States will produce 302.500
bales this year. Mr. Durst says:
I am in touoh with growers and conditions
In all sections of California, and my belief
Is that 00,000 bales will be an outside yield
fpr this state, wfh 55,000 the more probable J
figure.
The estimate of 115,000 bales for Oregon Is
ridiculous. It Is an open question among all
hopdealers In Oregon whether the 1905 crop
will equal last year S5.000 bales. There is
no possibility of "Washington growing over
40,000 bale. I take nine New York papers,
and the latest is that if the weather continues
favorable- the orop will be two-thirds to three
fourths of last season, which was 80,009 bales.
As for England's outlook. It promises well,
but It is too early yet to tell much about
how tho crop will come down; and my bollef
is it is not much use trying to forecast the
English crop before the 10th of September.
Just a few instances of California, crops. A
few days ago I was in .the big Pleasanton
yards at Llllenthat & Co., often said to be the
"largest on the Coast." The crop Is almost
unbelievably poor. Acres and acres won't
make two bales to the acre.- There is .not a
one-third crop over the whole of It. This
means a shortage of perhaps 2000 bale.
The hops In Sutter County are caW to prom
ise only half a crop. In the Wheatland dle
trlct we wilt do well If we harvest as many
hops as last season.
The crops In Sacramento, Yolo and Con
sumnes -district only "look fairly well. Tour
readers perhaps know mere o; tho outlook
in Sonoma and Mendocino Counties than I do.
"Where are the 03,000 bales coming frsm? One
word as to prices. If the crop of the United
States should come down at 302,500 bales, as
predicted by your prominent Sonoma County
grower, and the English crop "be VC50,000 to
600.000. -hundred weight, instead of hops being
worth 18 cent-j per pound, they would not be
worth 12 cent?. There would be a great over
production. Hops would be a drug. Dealers
wouli get them at their own price. The sug
gestions of crops and price do not square
with one another. It looks like somebody's
ruse to get Sonoma County growers to sell 1005
hops at1 18 cents. Also -this is an intimation
that somebody would like very much to buy
hops at 18 cents. There are no Durst hops for
sale at 'this date at any such price.
"Writing on the vigorous condition of Eng
lish hopyards, Lupulin, the hop expert, says
In a London paper of July 24:
My own observations, during a short Journey
Into Kent this week, suggests that there is
risk in the excesslvo luxuriance of bine and
foliage, lest there should not be sufficient
energy in the roots to carry the growth for
ward to the fullness of flowers and fruit. Some
gardens I have seen are exceptionally rich,
presenting an almost Impenetrable mass of
bine, the poles, wl. and strings being so
heavily laden that It seems almost Impossible
for the plants to progress further. Others that
are more moderately blned have been seriously
infected with mold spores, and copious appli
cation? of sulphur have not completely reme
died the evil, as fresh manifestations are
plainly visible. Again, there wore doubtless
sufficient ilee remaining to develop into a
dangerous attack of blight should the weather
encourage them, and on many of the abundant
laterals the pin had perished, becoming use
less for flowering. It is, therefore, quite pos
sible that the present brilliant external appear
ances may result in faHure, and that the ac
tual crop wJU not be nearly so heavy as has
been predicted. I am inclined to think that
that the chances for and agaln&t a greater
than an average yield aro about equally bal
anced. "JbHW SAIXS OF NEW OATS.
Government Contract May Bo Placed In
the East.
Very lew sales of new oats have been made
yet. though offerings have been ire. Dealers
are quoting $22 for gray and $23 for white
oats, which, it is believed, will be the basis
on which tho market will open.
The Government is in tho market for 3.000
tons of oats and 2500 tons of hay for delivery
by September 15. Tho bids will bo opened
August 10 at Portland. San Franelsco, Seattle,
Tacoma and St. Paul, Minn. It is thought
very likely that the contract for the oats
will go East, though Portland dealers will
submit "bids.
WATERMELONS SCARCER.
First Cor of Oregons Left The Dalles Yes
terday Morning.
Trading In the fruit line was only moder
ately active yesterday. Supplies were ample,
but most buyers appeared to "be well filled up.
Peaches wore again abundant and cold be
tween 50 and 75 cents. Melons have been
comparatively scarce for a few days, which
has given the market a firmer tone. Two oars
" of Lodls came In early yesterday. The first
car of Oregon melons of the season did net
get away from Tho Dalles until yesterday
morning, and will be on sale here today. A
considerable quantity came down loose on the
afternoon beat. Cantaloupes of all 6lxes and
qualities were abundant.
POULTRY STILL WEAK.
Eggs Steady With liberal Receipts Position
of Butter Market.
The poultry market stll showed a weak ton
yesterday. The demand was very slow and re
ceipts were large, but most dealers succeeded
in cleaning up. Young chickens were much
weaker than old ones. There was practically
no demand for ducks or geese. Turkeys were
scarce -and -sold well' on -arrival. -
Tho egg market was steady. Recelcts 'eon-
tlnue large, and stocks generally are poor.
All the local creameries yesterday "were on the
SO-cent basis, hut the market was not consid
ered strong at that price. There "was no
change In the situation on Front street..
Advance la Provisions,
A new price list on provlrtens Issued yes
terday quotes advances of "4 cent each on
lard, sides and experts and &-cent on hacks.

cember wheat waa freely traded In and worked
In sympathy with the Chicago marker, first
falling to $1,374. the lowest point of the pre
ent Karon and recovering to I1.3S, The okkM
was $1.37. Cash wheat was featureless and
nominally unchanged. Barley developed ad
ditional strength. December rote to Sl.OOVi
and strictly choice feed on spot was firm up
to $1.05. Oats were not quotably changed,
but easier on account of larger arrivals. Bran,
middlings and rolled barley were firmer.
New brown mustard seed i 25 cents higher.
Grain freights are dull and nominal at union
rates. The engaged list Is gradually increas
ing, owing to the arrival of French vessels
under srtor charter.
Fresh fruits were quieter but firm for lead
lng orchard varieties. Receipts of Bartlett
pears and peaches are lessening. Grapes are
easier owing to the temporary cessation of
the shipping demand. Citrus and tropical
fruits are in moderate supply and steady.
The principal dried fruits are firm and ad
vancing.
Receipts of river potatoes were light and the
market steady, but not aetlve. Sweets were
easier at 161c for river and 262c for
.Mereed. Onions were lower, as shipping or

Received by Exporter.
CHICAGO. Aug. 11. Notwithstanding higher
prices at Liverpool, the wheat market opened
lower here with September at S25ic SborU

nees of shipments from Argentina inspired de
mand. After the first hour the market, how
ever, eased oC Commission-housed made
quite liberal offerings. News from the North
west was bearish, the crop being generally
reported as in excellent condition. For Sep
tember the lowest point of the day was reach d
at Sine During a considerable period the
market was inclined to drag. Later, how.
ever, prices made a quick recovery on active
buying by shorts. The cause of the revived
demand was alleged confirmation of serious
damage to the wheat crop of Russia, Accord
ing to a New York exporter, the crop in 42
cut of 54 provinces in Ruc!a la a complete
failure. Under the stimulus of this report.
the September option advanced to S3Vc. The
market reacted a trifle en profit-taking, but
the close was strong with September at 62c
Heat and drouth formed the basis of a strong
com market. The market closed practically
at the highest point of the day. September
closed at 54fic
Liberal acceptances and heavy receipts caused
considerable selling of oats by cash houses
early in the session. Later the market be
came quite firm. September closed un
changed at 2CH'Ctc
Provisions were strong after a slight de
pression early In the session. The market
was rather easy early, but received support
from packers later. September pork closed

ISE OF BIG CROPS.
Sensational Movements in High
Priced Investment Shares Ef-'
feet of Peace Negotiations.
NEW YORK. Aug. 11. A material broaden
lng out In speculation was a gradual process
in today's stock market, the early trading show
ing only Irregular strength and considerable
hesitation. The growth In speculative confi
dence had as Its underlying basis the Govern
ment report cn the conditions of the grain
crops, but even among the railroad stocks lev
mediately affected by the promise of great
crops to be moved, the eariy movement was
Irregular and halting. The Grangers seemed
notably reluctant to move. In spite of th
stress laid upon the promise of a bumper
corn crop. The character of- the advices
which went out of Wall stretr last night In
the shape of letters and telegrams from com
mission houses, based on the returns of the
grain crop, were circulated to excite spect
latlve activity, and these had their effect on
the trading. Before the day was over, th
Iregular character of the market was repaired
to a large extent, and a comparative advance
had been achieved by the process of rotation
from oae point In the market to another.
High-priced Investment stocks were still
feature, and the sensational movements In
this class exceeded In cumber ans extent any
thing witnessed In the stock market within
the memory of man. The stocks affected were
so varied and so totally disconnected in any
possible grounds of comparison that the ru
mors concerning them, to far as they sought
to sjvoclate them In any way, were given
little credence. These feverish movements
were still suspected to be of manipulative
origin.
Foreign markets were watched with atten
tion for any indications of the probable out
come of the peace conference at Portsmouth.
The stock markets abroad manifested no un
easinees. but the sharp advance in sterling
exchange at Paris was Indicative of a pur
pose to accumulate further reserves there. Dis
count rates hardened in London in response,
and the foreign exchange rate advanced here
also.
The local money market was totally unaf
fected. The estimates of the currency move
ment for the week were also significant as
showing for the first time this season that the
banks have lost cash to the Interior on the
balance of the movement. The amount seems
to be small, and even added to the week's
absorption by Subtreasury operation the ef
fect on the bank reserves to be shown In to
morrow's weekly statement is not expected
to be large. It Is also a premonition of the
beginning of the seasonable demand from the
Interior that the incident has Importance.
The usual profit-taking on the day's advance
unsettled the late market, but there were
rallies which carried last crlces for come
stocks to the highest of the day. but left the
closing tone Irregular.
Bends were steady. Total sales, par value.

NET RESULT IS GOOD
Trade Reports on the Whole
Are Satisfactory.
FEW ADVERSE FACTORS
Manufacturing Plants All Active.
Export Trade In Iron and Steel
Expanding: Increase In
Railway Earnings.
NEW YORK. Aug. 11. R. G. Dun & Co.s
weekly review of trade tomorrow will say:
Trade reports are less uniformly favorable.
but adverse advices are of a temporary na
ture and the net result for the week 1
satisfactory. Numerous strike have oc
curred, exerting the customary pernicious
Influence over business, and the eptUemlc of
yellow fever Is restricting Southern trade.
On the other hand, the normal conditions
have facilitated retail trade, crop prospects
have greatly improved and out-of-town buy
ers are numerous in all the leading markets.
Manufacturing plants are active, textile
mills still occupying the strongest position.
Railway earnings In July were 7.4 per cent
greater than In the same month last year
and foreign commerce at this port for th
last week showed an Increase of $3,917,300
In Imports, while exports decreased $1,345 -323.
Little change Is shown In the financial
situation, rates ruling easy, while prices of
securities have risen close to the highest
point on record. Bank exchanges at New
York for the week were 47-8 per cent large
than last year, and at other leading cities
the Increase amounted to 14.1 per cent.
In the Iron and steel Industry export trad
Is expanding and several Important con
tracts are pending that will add a larg
tonnage to the business of the mills when
'satisfactory terms can be arranged.
Textile markets have had the stimulus of
an Increasing attendance of Western buj'ers.
At present the only event that might weaken
the position of cotton manufacturers would
be the cancellation of Chinese orders, as
many mills have withdrawn from the mar
ket on account of export trade. Woolen
goods are meeting with steady demand.
Western shoe Jobbers have not placed the
customary amount of Spring orders owing
to disagreement as to values.
Failures this week number 222 In the
United States, compared with 222 a year
ago, and 19 In Canada against 33 last year.

NEW YORK. Aug. 11. The following table.

leather trades are doing an Increased busi
ness at steadily advancing prices. Cotton
goods sellers cannot begin to satisfy re
quirements for prompt shipment. Finished
iron and steel show great activity and al
though there U some unrest in labor mat
ters, the industrial situation reveals few im
portant flaws. Taking staple prices as a
whole, th'e level of values is at the hlgh'l t
point reached in Midsummer for period of
13 years past.
Farmers are busy on harveat work and re-
tall trade is naturally quiet, but an ln-
creased amount of Fall buying Is noted In
all leading markets. Cotton bleached goods
have been advanced this week; prints ar
scarce and In demand, worsted goods stt
well, with mills reporting six months or
ders ahead. An advance of 30 per cent In
raw wool Is shown over this time a year a so.
Bradstreet's advices are that the corn
crop of the South will be the best ever
made and that the Southwestern erop Is
well-nigh assured. " In the Northwest. Spring
wheat Is being cut with little or no eoea
plaint as to rust damage and a good wheat
and hop crop Is looked for la the NortU
Paelflc States. California wheat, oata awl
barley will yield below an average
