The 1905 apple ere of Head River has
raxed Into the possession oi a New York
firm. Rea & Hatfield, et that city, haw
rr-v.ased the entire output ef fancy apples,
aggregating about 16.00 boxes. The price
paid f-r the fruit was not divulged. Mr. Hat-
fir! 1 Is now at Hood Rlvnr closing up the
deal and arranging for taking over the lot.
Ar.tther New York firm, Sgober &. Day. had
& rrrresentative on the ground, but he failed
tD re; the much-covet d crop. None of the
larg" Portland apple-shippers entered into
the competition.
Hood River apples, from growers owte the
L'r.ior, are beginning to reach this market.
A number of smalt ahlpments of four and 44
tier Gravensteins came down yesterday and
were offered at $1.5094.76. A handsome lot of
Maiden Blush apples, shipped in by the
Rogue River Fruit Growers Union, were heid
at J125.
The latest Irmie of the Chicago Packor con
tains a long report on the apple crop of the :
Vr.lted States, which it figures will not
average more than 46 per cent of an average
crcr. This pessimistic view Is not taken
7c 7 :-cal applemen. They acknowledge a con
siderable shortage, but do not go to such
extremes. If the Packor Is right, good priced
wiil oo realized by American apide-gnswere
V.:'.a year. The Packer says:
It looks now as though the crop is going
ti be a very short, one. It U going to be
f--.".y 40 per cent abort of last season's crop.
If not more. The detailed reports show that
a-. s In many recttone are dropping badly,
an J that many orchards are infosted with
fungus, scab and other diseased, which in the
octree of the next few weeks can, by their
raages, materially decrease the yield. A
summary of these reports shows that in the
New England State the yield will not reaeh
more than half of last year' crop. Baldwins,
efi-re-laijy, are dying out, particularly those
whlrh bore heavily last season. An unknown
parasite Is doing the work. Reports from
w York State indicate that the crop will
rt be more than 40 per cent of last year's
cv "Weather conditions and the ravages
cf Tungl from now on may materially lessen
tls estimate.
Jn Pennsylvania, TWst Virginia and Vir
ginia, the crop will not be up to the aver
age Delaware reports a good crop, but the
c !rut of this state does not amount to so
rr-'i In a commercial way. In Maryland the
-r'p la below the average. In the middle
s;t!-n, Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois have leas
tv.an an average crop. The yield will in no
car be as large as the yield in thwo Kates
last Fall. Jn Michigan there Is the promise
-cf something like 35 to 40 per cent of full
crop. In Missouri the yield will be about
IB to 20 per cent of full crop. In the South
west, taking the State of Arkansas and the
two territories, . the crop will be very light,
not exceeding 15 per cent at the outside.
Kansas will have about 30 per cent of a full
crop. Iowa, Minnesota and Idaho have very
pocr crops. Colorado reports about an aver
age yield. California has a good orop.
while the "Washington and Oregon crops
villi be short. Nova Scotia reports a
very poor crop, while Canadian grow
er will do well if they get 59 per cent
cf last year's yield. Taking the reports of
the apple-growing states in detail, the pros
pects are that the crop will be the smallest
raised in many years. The latest weather
bureau reports on apple prospects are the
gloomiest Issued in years. Taken altogether,
it looks as If those growers who wilt be so
f-rtunate as to have apples this Fall will
realise good prices for thorn. The home de
mand promises to be very good', and already
European inquiry for American fruit indicates
that there Is going to be a good outlet for
all the Fall and "Winter apples raised.
OREGON MELONS PLENTIFUL.
Four Cars Arrive From The Dalles Slump
in Bartlrtt Pears.
Four cars of watermelons arrived from
The Dalles yesterday, but none of them was
unloaded. The steamer brought up a good
supply of apples, pears, plums, lemons and
grapefruit. Bartlctts were numerous, and
declined to $1.50 for some offerings. A ship:
ment of cantaloupes was received from Pay
ette, Idaho, and brought $8 a crate. Black
berries were more plentiful, and wore held
at 5 cents a pound. Large and medium-size
cranges are scarce.
The Puyallup &. Sumner Fruitgrowers' As
sociation Vhas issued a statement in refer
ence to the berry crop of this year. Up to
ana Including August 5, 40,000 crates of rasp
berries had been shipped and $86,610 received
and turned over to the treasurer, G. VvV
Edgerton. There are still many outstanding
accounts, but these arc being collected dally.
The association Is receiving orders for canned
goods and sample cans are sent out for In
spection. HOPS MAY REVIVE SOON.
Active Market Is Expected Before the
Month Is Ended.
The deadlock in the hop market continues
as growers decline to accept proffered .prices.
Dealers report a number of offers on hand,
but arc not disposed to advance their bids.
It Is likely that after the 20th of the month
the market will show activity, as some
overing will have to be done them. James
Linn, of Salem, was In towr. yesterday get
ting ready a hop float for the Elks' parade.
He says the yards on the whole are doing
well, and he expects a crop around 100,000
bales. "V.'. W. Cotton states that his yard
In this county Is in rood oendlflen, and has
rot suffered from the drouth.
The Kentish Observer, of July 27, reported
on crop conditions In the several English
districts as follows:
Bridge and Neighborhood Excepting that of
the Early Whites, burr la as profuse as the
bine, and promises to be an imposing sight
when fully developed.
Bethersden Mould is reported In some gar
dtr.s and growers are sulphuring this week.
The hops are coming out Into burr very fast.
Biddenden (Weald) The bine Is making good
progress, but since I last wrote I find red
spider has come and is spreading fast. Grow
ers are watching their progress, and If they
continue washing will have to bo done. The
prospect of a good crop 1h not so- favorable
as I thought U was last week.
Canterbury The development or the burr on
the Bramllngs is quite satisfactory, and the
latter varieties are also doing exceedingly
well. Since last weok ne-eral rrowers have
been washing, and it Is believed that the
lice have been cleared oft.
Maidstone and District The nine continues
to make vigorous growth, and there is an
excepUonal show of burr, everything thus for
pointing to a big crop. Some growers, how
ever, are of opinion that there will be too
much bine, and that as a consequence, the
burr will not develop properly, especially if
August proves to be a wet month. Cultiva
tion Is well forward, and there is very little
vermin.
Northlam St, James day has now parsed.
end to all outward appearance the general
prospect is ,for a crop f hops.- But many
things may even now transpire to curtail
both quantity and quality. However. the
vigorous Bine, and .strong laterals pushing out
burr, are a sight to gladden the eyes of
every grower who is old-fashioned enough
to expect to Hve by "the sweat of his brow."
May he do so!
The New York Journal of Commerce of Au
gust 9 raid:
lp-tate advices reported steady markets,
and the outlook for the crop is a yield of
IS to 26 per cent lest than last year. Cable
advices have been received from Europe re
porting that In Germany the crop 1a in need
of rain, hut that In Bohemia crop prospects
are favorable, and ttiat the German and Bo
hemian crops together promise to yield about
12 per cent more than last year. The
spot market was steady.
Huge O. Loewl has received the first bale
Oi KtOw New Tork State hops, and same has
gone forward to the Continental Brewing
Company, of Philadelphia.

partment of Agriculture gives the feHewiBg

"WHEAT MARKET WEAK.
Local Prices Now Arc Practically on an
Export Basis.
The wheat market yesterday was weak all
around. and quotations were reduced from
1 to 2 cents by dealers. For club, 71 cents
was quoted In some Instances, but the goaeral
quotation -was 70 cents. This is practically
the export value, but a further" reduction is
necessary before wheat can be shipped at a
profit. Several fairly large sales have been
reported In the past few days. .Bluestera I
quotable at 737c. Millers yesterday quoted
-valley wnent at 77 cents. It Is not usual
that such a disparity is quoted in the juices
of valley and bluest em.
Advance In Cured Fruit.
The Arm position of the evaporated fruit
market has resulted in advances of 49 per
cent on poaches and 25 per cent en apricots
from the opening prices. The prospect of
a light output in California has capped a
coram We- among buyers. The local market is
cleaned up on -prunes and apples.
Potatoes Are Easier.
The potato market has been weakened by
heavy receipts from the country, with only a
fairly good leeal domand. The average ran
of potatoes on the street are eiHng at 759
Sfe. with 9 cents quoted for fancy. A
wire received yesterday from San Fraaciseo
sate the shipping demand there would be
late.
The first straight car of Merced - sweets
arrived yesterday. They were put on sale
at SJ6 cents.
Small Veal Sells Well.
A brisker demand was reported for first
class small veal, but no firmness was shown
by grass stock or large sises. Other kinds
of dressed meals were ntow and unchanged.

Outside Demand Gives Stock
Market Strength.
LARGE SELLING ABSORBED
Day's Dealings Are Based on the
General Conditions of tlie Coun
try's Prosperity, Made Sure
by- Immense Crops.
"NEW YORK, Aug. 14. The speculative
forces which developed In last week's rtock
market gathered In energy for a rush with
the opening ef the week, which, swept the
whole of the early market to a higher level
of prices. The very large aelllng to take
profits which the market had to encounter had
Increasing effect as the day progrescd and
gave the later market some appearance of
weariness, but there was no mistaking the
increased force of the miscellaneous outside
demand coming from various sources through
commission housee. which made Itself mani
fest In the circulation of large buying orders
over Sunday. The sufficiency of this sew de
mand to absorb the large selling to take
profits was matter for satisfaction to the ad
vocates of an advance In prices. The quiet
ness of the later demand, however, showed
that the accumulated orders at the opening
were not followed up -la equal volume. The
professional element was left rather obviously
to take the market in hand again. This they
did by the renewal of last week's tactics of
successive advances here and there In the
market. The volatile high-priced stocks were
htrgly In evidence, but some of those which
figured roost conspicuously last week were
somewhat reactionary.
The day's dealings, which made, on the
whole, a broad and effective market, were
based en the general considerations which
were already making themselves felt test
week. Principal of these la the crop outlook
at defined by last week's Government report.
Day-to-day reports of weather conditions keep
up the feeling of confidence In. the outcome of
the grain crop. Railroad officials. In the
cuelotaary weekly reviews published today,
spoke of the widening effect through all lines
of business of the cheerful outlook over the
crops, and Indulged in some very roseate
views of preapeetlve railroad earnings for the
new fiscal year. Available equipment Is said
to be on a diminishing scale, and fear ef
nut damage to wheat In the Northwest is
alleged to have passed.
Confidence Is growing In the unprecedented
yield of the corn crop, and the corn grangers
came into belated prominence in the later
hours of today's market. Raw copper had
another advance, and the favorable reports
front the. Iron and steel trade showed an un
changed tenor. A good effect was produced by
the report that the dispute over freight rates
on certain articles as between the Atlantic
and the Gulf lines had been settled, and thi
cutting of rates done away with. Attention
was given also to reports that the purpose to
call an extra settlen of Congress had been re
considered, thus procnlflng delay in the bring
ing forward of questions which are viewed
with some perturbation from the stock market
standpoint.
The progress of the Portsmouth conference
was foit to promise well. Some attention was
given to assertions that American bankers
were being sounded with a view of sharing In
a Rustlaa loan. The flotation of a Russian
loan somewhere I? regarded as a necessary
consequence ef a peace treaty, and the dis
tributive effect in all the world's money mar
kets of such a flotation leaves the question
of the point chosen ef rather secondary, Im
portance, eo far as the effect on money rates
is concerned.
Stocks made a substantial recovery late In
the day. the com. grangers again leading. The
persistence ef selling to realize made the dot
ing Irregular.
Bonds were Irregular. Total sales, par value.
$9.6w.C00. United States bonds were all un
changed on call.

SAN FRANCISCO. Cal., Aug. 14. (Special.)
Liquidation and hort selling during the
earlj- forenoon drove December wheat down
to $1.34 in the local pit. A small rally
followed, but the market closed heavy. The
repeated stumps In Chicago prices and pres
sure to sell northern wheat here for forward
deliver) are dtseourzglng to buyers. Spot
wheat .aside from fancy milling, was dull and
weak. December barley declined sharply In
sympathy with wheat, but cash prtcea chlefly
fer bright feed remained steady. Other
cereals were dull and unchanged. Feedstuff.
were firm. Hay was In ovenupply and. weak.
California Summer fruits were moderately
active, with peaehes the firmest feature. The
Bartlctt pear season on the river Is over,
but other sectteiwi are sending in good sup
plies and checking any advance. Absence of
tripping demand caused easiness In grapes.
Apples were quiet. The first Beltflowers are
expected m a few days. All citrus frutta are
well cleaned up and firm.
Cured peaches, apricots and prunes still have
sa upward tendency.
Receipts pf river potatoes were liberal but
the market was In better shape. Fancy
whites; are selling well to the local trade at
60 to 65 cents. Low grades are In good
chipping demand at 40 to 50 cents. Salinas

Rains in Spring Grain Belt, hnt
Later Weakens on Con
tinued Liquidating.
CHICAGO. Aug. 14. Soaking rains in the
Spring-wheat country, where dry weather Is
needed for the finishing and harvesting of
the crop, gave the wheat market a semblance
of strength at the start. Minneapolis' quo
tations came strong and accentuated the bull
lrfj sentiment. September prices at the open
ing showed 49Uc to U9sc advance at 8l
S14c. Subsequent news afforded little sup
port for the upturn, however, and early buy
ers began to liquidate. As a result, Septem
ber receded to S049S0e. Acceptances frem
the Southwest were liberal, and so were
selling orders from the Northwest. One re
port which Induced selling by pit traders
told of an unusual number of steamers char
tered for Autumn shipments from Russian
eeaports, 'and forecasting an enormous crop
In that country. A rally occurred late In
the session, due chiefly to shorts covering
on a report of Improved export business.
