Portland hepdealer JUBt ,n from the Jttevilte dietriot said yesterday that out of growers he had talked with, only two re m rted yields eeual to 1004. Many of them Etated that their crops wnM be a quarter. third and a half let's than a year ago. Krebs Bros, report that on their Brooks rard of 224 aercs they are coming down flight. They have 65 acros of new hops in Ithle yard which they think wilt bring the field up lo thej'Ield of the 1&04 crop. A cablegram was received yesterday morning L?by an Oregon hopdealer direct from London 'to the efeet -that there Is no further question ; about England's reduction in quantity; that I the estimate now are below 500.000 cwU, I with the poorest tjuallty on record and report' lng choice hops very firm and poor goods weak. Recardlnc the cables that Ironmonger, of 'London, la se-ndlng out about the breaking up of the English pool. E. J. S,mlth. of this city, said yesterday: "The English hop pool has been dissolved for the past six weeks. Ironmonger Is the biggest !lear in the English market and is generally creditod as beinc in the employ of the bears V of Taooma and Tendon." A letter received yesterday from F. V Flint & Co.. of Saeramento. said some grow ers were letting go at 13 cents, which Is a very fair price for Saeramentoa as their val ues usually run from one "io two cents under Eonomas. Nothing Is doing In this state, both buyers ;and sellers being In a waiting attitude, October and November are expected to be the active months. -Consumers are not likely to come into the market now when they know that the allghtert shew of anxiety on their part would only strengthen growers the more It seems to be the object of the bears to tire out the growers by keeping out of the market as long as possible. Whother they will suo ceed. In breaking the producers' spirit by thee tactics remains to be veon, but the chances seem to be in the growers'' favor, as prices are at a" point now where there is less rfik In . speculation. . The .latest mall adviceson the condition of the German hop. .qrp are aa follows: Absberg (Spalt) Hops much. . Improved by rain. "Before 'this 'arrived a .small crop wa expected; 'now,. howe-er,' the outlook favors about, the same as -last year. The quality will "be good.. Early jam late sorts have developed well, and a full crop is anticipated. Plelnfcld (Spalt) Some rain has fallen with good Yesuits, louta hailstorm - has done mueh damage. Hops are sound and free from dis ease. . , Germereberg (Hersbruck) A recent thunder storm has done damage, and caused -much la bor In resetting poles, etc. Heps are fine and pound, nut not mere than half a crop la pected. Schnalttach (Hersbruck) Hops continue t develop, but have been seriously damaged by a recent etorm. "Neustadt fAlschgrund) The early orep is disappointing, and If--nothing occurs In the meantime the later growth may yield about half a crop, not mere. Rqttenberg (Wurtemberg) Hops are growing out well, and present conditions, being satis factory, indicate a favorable crop. Tettnang (Wurtemberg) The hop harvest is advancing slowly on-account of weather. Very hot 'days and cold nights 'have caused the plants n many places to become yellow. The further the picking advances the more evident it is that the orOp will not fill the trade estf mates. In several plantations the yield will be at least one-fourth less than last year. EGO ADVANCE . CHECKED. Fear of Eastern Imports Prevents Price From ioing Higher Now. The egg market holds very firm, but dealers question whether It will advance much far ther. Although one Front-street house yester day quoted 2"H cents, the majority did not ask over 27 cenbs. Eastern . eggs can now. "be spld here at a gopd profit. The same condition exists In the butter mar- ket where high prices are causing a steady demand for, the Eastern art 1 41c. Poultry cf all kinds- was in strong demand yesterday, turkeys, ducks and jseeae. as well las chlcTcens7sclllnVaiobd prTces.' Quotations on hens and springs" 'were about half -a cent higher than op Thursday. The cheese market Is firm for all .kinds of Oregon product. A big shipment of Easterly block Swiss -was received on First street yesy terdayand was. held at 15 'cents, . PEACHES SCARCE AND -HIGH. Best Offerings Bring $1 Per Box Bartlett Pears Also Firmer. Peaches were very scarce on Front street yesterday, and some -of the best offering brought $1 a box. Bartlett pears were alsb scarce and firmer at $1.50. Apples moved well and a- car,,-of -4-tler Bellflowers from Southern Oregon were ih demand at $1.25. Te grape situation "was about the same the preceding day. A shipment of-blackber ries was recelvcdfrom Sumner and was held at $2 a crate. Cantaloupes continued a drug oil the. market, and sales were made at 20 so cents. - Among th day's -recefpU was, a 'car of or anges ana a car of sweet potatoes will be today. ' - ' Wheat aad Flour Steady. The wheat market maintains a steady tone wlthpnly a moderate amount of business re ported by traders. A considerable amount of ' flour Is being shipped on previous orders, but very little new business is being worked with export, markets.

Important evs Developments 01 the Day Arc Almost Ignored. "Week's Currency Movement. NEVYORK. Sept. 15. The. money market situation reasserted Its Influence on stocks today and checked the efforts by profeasSooal operators to lift prices. The Influence of the money situation was due more to the pros pects of a poor bank, statement than to any actual operations in the loan market, although the 4 jx-r eent touched for money or call reg istered the maximum for the season thus tar and served ao an admonition of- the actual scarcity "of funds. Some of the news developments were of a character that would have been regarded as Important at another time, but were over shadowed almost entirely by the money ques tion. The demonstration for wresting cob trol of the Wabash system from Its present hands caused a sharp advance In thfc securi ties of that company. But hostile demoastra- Hons among railroad owners and capitalists are not relished by stock market operators, and the effect of the news en the general list be came more depressing than Otherwise. There was a dread that the contest might reveal a struggle between vast Interests behind the nominal contestants which might cause dis astrous consequences. Contrary Inferences were drawn from the announcement of the passing of control of the Cincinnati, -Hamilton & Dayton syHtm to J. P. Morgan & Co., as it was believed the effect 'would be harmonizing of the various claims. It was considered probable that the newly acquired property would be parcelled out among various companies with a common interest in its control. The effect of this sup position bad to do .with the special strength of Cheseneake & Ohio. Estimates of the week's currency movement differed., widely, but only as to the amount of their excers oyer the lets to the banks by the sub-Treasury absorption oi funds. This had xaehed $6.27.O00 up to Thursday, with one more day to figure In the result as It will -ehowMn . the bank statement. Confidence Is felt that the process of shifting of loans from banks-to tru'tn companies has been continued in sufficient' force to affect , the showing of loan reduction by the banks and the conserva tion of their .reserves within the legal limit. Nothing developed from yesterday's rumors of furthrr large Jgold engagements for Import. A reduction' in the price "of copper was an Inci dent of the day. The volume of sales under went considerable shrinkage for the day, and the dullneea-Tvas .progressive up to the close. The day's changes- arexmotly unimportant- Bonds were Irregular. Tptal sales, par value. $2,010,000. United States bonds were all un changed on, .call. STOCKS. Sales. High.- Low. dote. Adams Express Amalg Copper .

CONFIDENCE IS STRONGER. Industrial. Commercial and Agricultural Progress I Satisfactory. NEW YORK. Sept. 15. R O. Dun & Co.'s weekly review of trade will say: Industrial, commercial and agricultural prog ress Is satisfactory- Nothing has occurred to weaken confidence, the deposition being to ex tend plans further Into' tha. future and many plants have their facilities engaged well Into next year. As demand broadens there Is natural tendency to enlarge capital, which adds to the already exceptional structural ac tivity. Thus far the weather has not been cold enough to harm the crops that remain to be harvested, and another week of favor able conditions should assure an unprecedent ed yield of corn, several settlements maintain labor disputes at a minimum and mercantile collections continue prompt. A few complaints of Inadequate trans porta tlon. facilities from manufacturing centers are attributed to the requirement of grain mov ing Railway earnings thus far reported September were 3.7 per cent larger than 'last year, while foreign commerce at this port the last week showed gains of 32.364.1&Q. In the value of exports and $97,651 In Imports, as comp.ared.with 1904. r The" official report of export?6f stapIeVproi' ucts from all porta 0C the United States in August exhibited a gain of $16,S33.SBt over the same month last year. Large exports of packer hides are reported. but on heavy Texas steers small concessions were made, although the limited offerings' in other sections of the market maintained the average prices at the highest point. Failures this week numbered 104 In. the United States, against 240 last year, and 29 In Canada, compared with 21 a year ago. OREGON CLIP TURNED OVER. All of This Yeart Wool Now In Consumers ( Hands.
