X new developments were reported In the
ha mar'Kot yesterday. As It was a holiday
the dealere generally closed their offices at
rro aM the growers "wore too busy In their
yar4s w getting ready far harvest to con

Mil be liMwn pretty aocurately what Ore
gem will produce, whether it will he the
16.0 bales promised by the bears or under
Ht. prr4Ut.& by the bulla. Crops In othor

Mull atvlees were reaelved yesterday giving

Mid of thr New York crop:
Estimate must te still further reduced
tn-- hop'plrklni; has beg-un and the yield Is
r-r-tx to bf much lighter than it was thought
It would b. The general vordlct is that
hope are coming do v. n light. The crop in
thin port of the Mate, it Is believed, -will be
lews ttocn two-thirds of last year. Some put
a a noe-holf. Picking is In full blast, some
of th growers appearing to be afraid lice
wouM gt into the hops if left much longer
e tte vkK. A Mttle mould is ecen'ln some
of the yaro. but It is beMeved the crop can
be hart-AMtMt in good shape, the weather be
tog cool and pleasant.
The CoMeskW. X. Y., Index of August 24
eaM:
The past week has been an unusually
fawwraMe ue for the growth of the growing
nop, which Is now ripening so rapidly that
mt growers "will begin picking several
dare eartter than was at nrst intended. Pick
tog of the early variety Is now In progress,
la the Utter yard work will. In general, be-f-ta
est Thursday next, though some will not
hogtu until the following Monday. Hops In
this vtctalty are looking unusually bright.
There t little or no mould or vermin and
th prospects are bright for a yield of ex-cofMaltt-
good quality. Thore will prob
ably be at toast three-fourths of last year's
ladleatlons now point to tne marKet
at about 23 cents.
The Schoharie. N. Y.. Democrat of August
SI Mid:
Picking of the crop of 1095 has already be
gwa la fact the harvesting of the Hum
phrey eeedllngs began last weak, and show
a very goed yield. The weather at present
to Mm and the hops are maturing finely. In
mm i eecttOM lice and honcydew have ap
peared and done much damage, but In this
rton a choice crop will be gathered If the
weather cod!t!on continue favorable. The
yteld will be about one-third less than last
roar ac heretofore estimated.
Th CooperstowH. N. Y.. Farmer of August
SS cotrtalnod the following:
Several growers In this vicinity have al
ready begun the harvesting of their crops,
aad picking will be general next week. The
weather staee our laot issue has been more
favorable fr the growing crop. Reports
from the yard1 are very conflicting. Al
though It is certain that rod rust and blight
are very prevalent in some sections vermin,
aad mould have rather decreased under fav
orable weather conditions. One grower re
port that the blight has so injured a ten
acre yard of hfcs that he does not expect to
put a box Into it. This yard grew a vine
that would warrant a yield of 1500 pounds
per acre.
Mop conditions in Bngland were thus re
ported by the Kontleh Observer of August 17:
Beoenden (Weald) There is a splendid
show of hope ta alt gardens and the pros
pect are brighter than for many years past.
Mould Is prevalent here and there, and will
doubt lee affect some of the s&jpplcfc, but
not to any extent. Warmer nights are re
quired to accelerate development.
Bridge and Neighborhood Hops are Mill
going on well, where they are all right, and
will be a big crop, but, we regret to say,
mould Is very threatening In some gardens.
Canterbury o well are the hops develop
ing that there Is every probability of an
early picking. With the exception of a
little mould here and there the vine Is in' a
mot health)' condition and the prospect Is
not only for an exceptionally large crop, but
for nrst -rate quality.
Faraham Hops are developing fairly well,
hot on aooount of the low night temperature
they are not making rapid progress. They
look very bright and are free from disease.
The crop will be an average one.
Northam Although the hops make progress
the burr to my ml Ml seems very slew In its
tftevelepmont into hops. The night tempera
ture ha been too cold. One night there was
Mtfadent frot In the lowlands just here to
brown th tips of rowen grass. Besides,
although a good it will mainly be a "top"
crop, and such is always affected by hot suns
or cold. The exportation of so many hops
mdteate shortage of stock abroad, which I
hop will help the demand for, and tho
value here of, thlv new crop.
Cablegram received since that date have
shew the Bngttsh crop to be oomlng down
lighter than first estimated.
A coble received yesterday from Bernard
Atag. a hop merchant of Nuremberg, said of
the Oerman crop: "Continuous rains prevail
ing. Crop damaged."
The New York Producers' Price Current
oontatned the following report of the hop
movement at that port:

LOWERS RECORD
Steamer Telegraph Makes
Phenomenal Run.
MAY -YET "DO EVEN BETTER
Captain and Engineer Say Run' W'&s
Xot Made Under the Best Con- ,
ditlons Reported Brcak
. down Xot Correct.
When the steamer Telegraph left tho
dock at Astoria last Sunday afternoon the
crew did not expect, nor the passengers
on board, that she would lower the record
to the phenomenal time of 5 hours and IS
minutes.
The steamer left the dock at Astoria at
2:37 P. M., with the usual amount of
steam up. She passed Skamokawa at 3:32,
a few minutes ahead of time. This ex
cited no comment, for she had done this
before, but when Oak Point was passed
at 4:31. several minutes ahead of her
scheduled time, the crew began to get ex
cited, and when Warrior Rock at St- Hel
ens was passed at 6:21, all knew she was
running in record time or better, and tho
excitement of the crew was communicated
to the passengers. It was 7:15 when she
put Into the mouth of the Willamette, and
at exactly 7:53 she reached her dock in
Portland, making the fastest time be
tween Astoria and Portland ever made by
any steamboat,.
The steamer was in charge of Captain
Arthur Rlgga. and the engines under
Chief Engineer B. Dlonne, both of whom
declare she can do better, and that the
run was not made under the most favor
able conditions.
Captain U. B. Scott, the veteran steam
boatman, was delighted with the showing
made. This Is the seventh boat he has
designed and built. The others are: The
Ohio, City of Salem, Fleetwood. Tele
phone, Flyer and City of Everett.
The Telegraph was built at Sumner
Iron Works, at Everett, in 1S03. under
ppeclal plans of Captain Scott's, and un
der his personal supervision, and is the
result of 57 years of experience in steam
boating. The reported breakdown of the steamer
yesterday morning was not correct. No
part of her machinery was broken, but
she was delayed at the mouth of the
Willamette for over an hour on account
of clinkers In the grates caused by poor
coal. Those were removed and she was
soon on her way to Astoria.

ings from their foundations, uprooted
trees, washed out telegraph and telephone
poles, destroyed the railroads running
through thost villages and washed out
great see t lor s of the roads and dozens
of bridges.
The extent of the damage cannot be
detailed, as communication was cut off
early today and little news can be ob
tained from the flooded district. In New
Berlin a large house occupied by Mrs. J.
M. Demlng was washed down through the
main street and carried away. It Is sup
posed that the woman was drowned.
Three bams containing horses and other
stock, a blacksmith shop, a carriage
shop and two small houses were also
washed down the main street. The Con
gregation at the Presbyterian church was
imprisoned in the church during the night
and could not bo rescued until daylight
today, when the worshipers were taken
out on a raft. The damage to the busi
ness part of the village was very large.
A large part of the village of Edmlston
was torn up by the floods and the dam
age will amount to thousands of dollars.
Several small towns besides the two
named have suffered severely.
