Although locks of eM wheat are comparatively small. rratxv wUt not require to import much before knottier harvest, there being nearly enough ro round. United States The progress of the Import- crops of thin vast country 'the largest Jucer of what in the world), has been ml and anxiously watch M during the past r three month, particularly by those inrcted with the grain trade. The "Winter iheat crop was harvested several weeks ago. p.nd It is mndoubtedly a good one, both in quantity and quality, the milling properties the new grain being highly spoken of. lie Sitting wheat crop has suffered eomcwhat from rust, but the damage la not serioui. nor IgeneraL It being confined to rath'r a small rea. Harvesting has begun and will oon be full swing. Mr. Carthew has estimated for a fair average crop, both as regards yield and Quality. Canada Is fast earning to the front as (wheat grower and exporter, and tnls ;ear s (crop points te a large yield of excellent qual ity. Rustda Reports of the crops In this coun- f try are somewhat conflicting. In ame parts thy have progressed unsatisfactorily, through protracted drouth and scorching weather. t while In other districts, particularly in the i south, the outlook is vers- favorable. On the I whole. Mr. Carthew estimates that it will be fair average yield, but not equal to the lumper crops of the past three years. There are, however, good reserves of old wheat, and he considers that Russia will be a large ex porter during the coming season. $3.004.10; Dakota hard wheat.

A band of 2000 head of Grant County cattle for feeders have been contracted for delivery at Ontario on October 1, says.the Canyon City Earle. There will be gathered from the ranges of the South Fork country and are the property of Brown & Sommervllle, H. H. Trowbridge, John Laycock, Jr., Dave Maglll and other stockmen of the Izee country. The price for which the cattle were contracted was $2.75 per hundredweight, the cattle to be weighed at Ontario. This Is a slight Increase over the prices offered for feeders or beef a few weeks since, and Is an Indication that the cattle market has an upward tendency. Heretofore the large ban do of cattle from Southwestern Grant County have been drl'en to Pendleton and were fed on Batter Creek. This year a large number of head will be fed in Malheur County, where alfalfa bay can be bought in large quantities from $3 te $4 per ton. WOOL DOWN H GENT Decline Noted in the California Market'.

Three ears of cantaloupes arrived yesterday on a market that oould have gene along just ns well without any at all. 'For some time the inquiry on Front street haa been very light, as retailers have been supplied by far- mrs and gardeners. Testerday'a receipt!. therefore, had to be sacrificed and price; cut no figure whatever. Sales wore made as low as 25 cents a orate and the dealer who got Od or 75 cent was lueky. Hawkem took jrcKvd many, but could net handle all that came In. and it Is probable that there will be wme no!!ed fruit on the market. Bartlett pears are being taken out of cold rtorage. and are meeting with good demand. Tokay grapes by the steamer are selling well nt $1.25 and blacks are slower at 50985 cents. The first shipment of pomegranates of the (canon was received. The fruit was offered nt $191-25 and wa rather green. A small rhlpment of blackberries will arrive from Buraner today. ALL KINDS OF EGG PRICES. S"o Uniformity of Quotations, but Market Is Firm aad Active. All norts of prices were quoted in the egg market ( yesterday. Some sales of Oregon eggs were made as low as 24 cents, and coneld c ruble bustneos was reported at 25. One dealer quoted 2S to 26 cents as the market. and another announced that he had Ju?t sold Elx caws at 27 cents. Tnen, later, there was a report that soneone wait getting 27. From nil this, the difficulty of quoting actual val ves Is evident. One thing is certain, and that Is the market In Arm and likewise active, Receipts yesterday were reported to be fairly good. The chicken market was in satisfactory chape. Receipts were liberal, but were taken up readily at about the prices of the preced ing dav. The tone of the butter market on Front street is about steady, but some of the city creameries continue to report it firm. Coos Bay butter was offered yesterday at 52 centu a roll.

A prominent authority reports th local market at a standstill and the outlook Is that until growers modify their views, wools will accumulate at shipping points as buyers cannot pay within 3 to 6 cento of growers' asking prices In the country. Locally there is no trade In either scoured or grease wools. The grain market was very dull on account of collection day. and the relapse In Chicago putting a damper on local wheat speculation. December wheat and barley had a light de cline. Cash prices for all cereals remained steady. . Conditions and prices in the fruit market had little change. Good apples St for Immedl-. ate use wes the firmest feature. A conslgs- raent of 1350 boxct of Southern Oregon grav ensteins, due tomorrow. Is nearly all sold to arrive at $1.23 to $1.33. Grape and peaches were generally weak. Potatoes were weak with liberal offerings' of livers and Salinas Burbanks. Onions are dragging. . Dairy products are firm. Receipts. 24.300 pounds butter: -4500 pounds cheese; 34.050 doz en eggs. Handlers of hops In this city report pur- chapes of old and new hops In the country at 13 cents. The present quotable range Is 13 to 15 cents. The market Is quiet and without special feature.

Belief " In a heavy movement of wheat impending in the North west produced weakness in the wheat maritet today. Sentiment was bearish at the- open ing, the December option being off a shade at 82c The origin of the easier undertone was a continuation of clear weather In the Northwest. It wa Inferred that as a result arrivals of new wheat from the farms would be materially Increased. Notwithstanding, however, that the day's receipts of wheat at the Northwestern grain centers were more than double the receipts of the corresponding day last year, the demand from millers today was so urgent that all of today's arrivals was readily disposed of. This faet temporarily checked the free selling of wheat here On a fair demand from a leading bull, the market soon became quite firm. The upturn waj hastened by reports, from Canada to the effect that threshing returns from Manitoba showed an increase in the number of complaints re garding email yield. On the bulge a large majority of traders in the pit. recurring to the Idea of Increased receipt in the North west, seemed eager to take advantage of the higher prices. The result was a quick re action. Part .of the selling was attributed to bearish European advices. According to a prominent English statistician, the wheat crop of France is estimated at 320,000.000 buohels,. compared with 292.000.000 a year ago. Re ports from India assert that the wheat crop there had been greatly benefited by heavy rains In provinces where drouth had previ ously prevailed. For December the lowest point was reached at 8282e. The market closed weak, with December at 82c As a result of unsettled weather, in the Middle West, the corn market was quite firm, early in the session In spite of liberal primary receipts. The market, however, closed weak. with prices at the lowest point of tne say. December closed at 43c. Small local receipts had a strengthening in fluence on the oats market. The roarxei closed firm with December at 27c. Provision were weak, following a 10-cent decline In the price of live. hoga. At tne close, pork was off 12c at $12.17; lard waa oft 12c at $6.72, and ribs were down oc at $6.35. The leading futures ranged as follows: WHEAT. Open. High. nue. between $1330.

As a reflection of any fixed conviction on the prospect of values. today's stock market was not of much use. The fluctuations were constant and never far In one direction. In the stocks which moved most notably, the action suggested profes sional operation tor manipulative purposes, Gains which developed first were not con tinued, the stocks affected being left to them selves in the later dealings while attention was turned to new points. The engagement of gold yesterday for ship ment to New York continued dta good effect on sentiment, but the more urgent demand -for stocks which It stimulated yesterday was evl dently from uncovered shorts and with the satisfaction of this demand, trading today be came languid and lcdlfferenL Such opera tions a were dons seemed to be for the pur pose of nursing the market and guarding acalnst a recurrence of weakness. Cemmlcslon house business" was reported to be of Insignifi cant volume. The perception grew that the relinquish ment of gold from foreign centers, while It might constitute a resource against severe damage from money stringency in the New York market, was by no means calculated to provide a redundancy of funds such as might stimulate an unrivaled speculation. Whatever mar be New York's ability to draw on foreign money markets. It is believed a period of oon- ldernblv hither rates for money is sun in vltable between now and tne penoa wnen me movement of the crops Is completed. The Government's figures of dorawrtlc exports for -August throw considerable light on the command of foreign credits established, the exports of cotton amounting to 821,816 bales. as compared with 109,832 in August of last year. As the comparative price of cotton be tween the two periods has become adjusted almost to an equality, the Increase In value for this year's export Is over $11.000.00O.v With the increase in value of breadstuff principally due to the outgo of com and of provisions added, the Increase In value of exports for last year Is raised to $16,533,501. It Is known alto that some Jarge payments have been made for railroad securities transferred from tne hands of local syndicata holders to foreign pur chasers. It is evident, therefore, that heavy obligations are due to this center from foreign markets. Sterling exchange steadied here and the sug gestion found credence that the exchange bills were being purchased again for the remittance of Japanese funds on deposit here to London, the process which has developed of late when ever exchange rates went to a profitable level for that operation. It was" generally expected as well that the Bank of England would make a further advance in Its official discount rate at tomorrow's session of the governors in or der to present a further obstacle to the Jess of gold by London.
