tkltat County '"Fruit Inspector Condemns
Oranges Shipped From Here
o bcxes C'f oranges shipped by a Portland
ta Oo'.lendale were seized recontly by the
Lt Inspector of that county on tho pre-
that they wore Infected with San Jose
le, and he owner was ordered to put them
lugh a proeees of disinfection. Believing
the "Washington Inspector was In the
Ing, the shipper applied to the Bureau of
ir.ctogy, Department of Agriculture, for
hrn.ailn on the subject, and received the
pwlr.g reply from F. H. Chittenden, acting
f of the bureau:
Kn the temporary absence ofDr. Howard,
j-f of this bureau, I "have to acknowledge
i'lft ef your letter of August 12. Comply-
wlth jour request, I take pleasure In
Iding you some publications treating of the
Jose ecale and of insects -which affect
Jus trees. The San Jose scale does not at
tic citrus fruits, nor will the ordinary citrus
lie attack deciduous fruits; so that you
ild be perfectly cafe In importing oranges
lemons from California."
his official statement from the department
fuld put a stop to the vexatious treatment
orded Portland shippers by certain of the
Ipectors of "Washington. County Inspector
lid, who keeps watoh over the Portland
Irket, has never condemned any oranges or
lions for the reason given above.
PEACHES IN' STRONG DEMAND.
City and Country Orders Move "Largo
Stocks '"Watermelons a Drug.
peaches arrived more plentifully yesterday.
It the demand was equal to the receipts, and
stxk worked off satisfactorily at an aver-
Ie price of 75 cents. Some very fancy lots
:ught 00 cents and Inferior stock sold as low
50 cents. The shipping demand was also
lod.
fhe only fruit that was a glut on the mar.
It was watermelons, the Inquiry for which
s lessened considerably. Only three cars
melons were sent to Astoria for the re-
Ltta. Cantaloupes ..are cleaning up in good
Iape Grapes were again abundant and In
!r demand, Tokay bringing $1.50 and Mus
ts $1 25. Another shipment of needless
ipea waa received.
"here waa a scarcity of bananas on the
reet, most of the big lot that arrived last
Ieek going to hawkers. Good shipping stock
as hard to get bold of. The' next cars are
je Frldaj,
Another big lot of tomatoes wan received
terday by a house that already has a store
I ill, and prices on the cheaper grades dropped
to to 25 cents. A new car of eweet pc-
toes will be offered today.
EGG MARKET ACTIVE.
poultry Receipts Large and Generally Clean
I'd Butter Unchanged.
i The egg market was active and very firm
jestcrday. The top quotation usually given
t-aa 23t cents, but quite a number of sales
ere reported at 24 and some dealers ex
pressed the opinion that 24 cents would bo
Ihc rrice today. Cold-storage stocks are be-
:ig drawn upon to make up the shortage In
jecclpts from the country.
Poultry receipts were quite large yesterday.
Ihugh not evenly distributed. Old hens were
In strong demand, but Springs, which wore
sere numerous, were hard to move.
There was no change In the price or condi
tion of the buttor and cheese markets.
EXPORT ORDER FOR HOrS.
Bhlpper Is Willing to Pay 10V6 Cent for
Delivery In October.
The likelihood of low opening prices for
the 1005 hop market has been dissipated by
the receipt oT orders here for new hops at a
;ood figure A prominent exporter is seeking
io contract for 500 bales for October delivery
it 10gl6fc cents. Under the circumstances
St is not probable that growers will care to
ell in the coming month below this price.
The exporter, who wants hops of a shipping
quality, made an offer of 10 cents for the
300 bales to E. C. Klrkpatrlck, cf Dallas. Mr.
Klrkpatrlek refused the offer, when the ox
porter asked for a refusal at 16 cents. This
was likewise rejected and the Dallas man
said he would not sell any at 17 cents for
October delivery.
A local broker had orders yesterday for'
250 Dales of 1004s at 16 cents. He asked for
nothing better than primes, but said he could
not Clt the order. One small let of 08 bale
of 1KH bops wan sold at Eugene yesterday.
Good Demand for Choice Meal.
There was a good demand yesterday for
choice dressed meats. Good veal was Quoted
at 7&8S cents and block hogs were strong
at the same price. Fancy yearling weathers
and lambs can be placed at quotations. Not
mueh encouragement waa offered, so far as
beef is concerned. The country la full of
beef, but there Is no demand for It what
ever, except for ftne steers.

LIGHT EFFECT
Wall Street Barely Responds
to News of Peace.
MARKET . GENERALLY DULL
Attention of Bunking Interests Will
STow Be Engaged In Figuring
on the Russian and
Jupancsc Loans.
NSTW YORK, Aug. 29. To thoss who ex
pected a tremendous manifestation of bullish
enthusiasm to follow the peace news from
Portsmouth, the courw of today's stock mar
ket must have been somewhat disappointing.
To be sure, the early announcement brought
an upward move In which the greater part
of the list participated, but this movement
wom not well sKfltalned. being followed by
periods of dullness and some hesitancy. Oper
ations broadened later, and the momentous
event was received with satisfaction by the
banKtag Interests, relief being expressed at
the eHmhmrion of a disturbing factor.
The attention of these name banking inter
ests will now doubtless be engaged In figuring
upon the peace loans which lt Is generally
SMmwd both Russia and Japan will ' find It
oonvemcnt to negotiate. Prdtmln&rles to this
end have been In program for raveral weeks
here and abroad, and It Is strongly intimated
that American bankers will play an Impor
tant part in whet promises to be the great
eC nnaadat game of recent years.
Tho conspicuous 'feature at the opening here
was Canadian Pact 9c which advanced to a
new high record, credited to buying of for
eign Interests. There was & renewal ef the
recent pretnure on Reading and some of the
other coalers moved in sympathy, but later
recovered. Amalgamated Copper was strong,
with another advance In the price of the
metal. Of the other standard issue. Union
Fadnc .which was sold ex dividend ef 2
per cent, was strong.
Although, the . new from Portsmouth be
came known soon after noes, reporut dis
crediting It were current, and It was not
until an hour later that the traders seemed
lo grasp Its slgnlflrance. Much of the buy
ing that then set In came from shorts. Fea
tures of strength were the United States Steel
shares. Pennsylvania. Reading, Southern Pa
dAc and Chics go & Northwetern. London
restricted Hs trading In this market because
of settlement operations; but bought on the
peace announcement. A new feature was the
strength of Americans on the London curb,
following the closing of tho regular market
there. A reflection of existing mercantile
condtUons was found in the eml-annual etate
ment of tho Associated Merchants Company,
which operates a number of dry goods store
in this and adjacent cities. Its surplus for
the pertor showe an Increase of $215,000. An
other heavy transfer of cash to Chicago was
reported today, making a total of $3,000,000
whipped during the month.
The dosing was strong, the highest prices
of tho day being shown.
The bond market advanced in sympathy
wKh the rise in the Japanese government
bond. Total sales. $7.2.C0. United States
bono wore all unchanged on call.

Well-Packed Apples.
SAN FRANCISCO. Cal.. Aug. 29. Special.)
The reorganized dairy exchange is not like
ly to hold regular sessions before September
15. Progress Is slower than expected, as the
by-laws and rules have been ohanged to
adopt Eastern methods In local business.
These changen must be put in legal form, and
then submitted to the whole body ot mem
bers for ratification. Tho market for dairy
products was without new features. Fancy
butter was steady and lower grades easy.
Cheese was dull and topheavy. Eggs were
steady. Receipts, 52.500 pounds butter. 63,100
pound cheese. 25,590 dozen eggs.
The local wheat market bears still had the
advantage and drove December down to $1.30-
and May to $1.35,. Spot wheat weakened in
sympathy and cash prices were quoted 2Vj
cents lower all around, excepting choice white
Australian, which remains firm. Barley also
had a slump for cash lots and futures. Fancy
oats were firm and lower grades weak. Bran
and middlings were firm.
The shipping movement In choice, well
packer apples was more active, chiefly for
Honolulu. Best Gravenstlnes command
$1.25. Bellflowers from Watsonvllle, medium
sized and green in wrappers, are selling at
$1. Kings are in good demand at $1. Graphs
were In larger supply and easier. Crates for
shipping were quoted at 75890 cents, accord
ing to variety. Lemons were In larger supply
at prices firm under a good shipping demand.
