In a letter to the Sacramento Union ef Sep
tember 16 M. H. Durst, the "Wheatland grow
er. atd:
Tbe IT. S. A. crop will run from 200,000 to
236.000 bales net mere. Our net exports will
be from 40.000 to 00,000 bales, leaving about
JS.fOQ bales for dwrnertlc consumption. Ac
cording to tbe United States Internal revenue
reports the bop consumption In the United
Stales last year was about 224,000 bales. The
bears deny that any such quantity of hops
was used. There la no doubt brewers skimp"
as much aa they can. but they can hardly
ft le than .85 of a pound of hops te tbe
barrel of beer. It seems to me that the
consumption demand for 1004s has been seem
ingly decreased for the reason that nH brew
ers have been buying and using all the old
stock they could lay bands on.
It Is generally admitted that the obi Mock
Is shorter now than for years. One thing Is
sure, what was brewed last year can never
be used again. The brewers cannot "squeeze
tbe pot." aa ear grandmothers used te do
when tea' was high.
Every bale of 1006 bops that Is found will
be needed, even If England has the large
crop predicted. Bttim&tes for England run
from 4e.800 to 0&0.000 cwts. As I stated once
before, tbe bent crop in the last 20 years was
only 12.7 cwt. per acre, or 570,000 cwts. on
tbe present acreage. If the 1905 crop exceeds
that It will be phenomenal. I don't think It
will. The conditions there are much as they
are here flnc ones but If they yield no bet
ter than here the crop will not be mere than
an average.
It will be the first of October before they
can really say what the English crop has
come down at. So we need not. any of us.
be scared by the almost dally reports we hear
of the tremendous crop In England. For my
part I do not take mueh stock In them, and
it seems to me that we ean all afford to go
slowly with our wiles until October and No
vember, when there will be a demand for
quite 100.000 bales of the 1906 coast crop.
One thing Is sure, no foreign hops can be
imported without paying the duty of 12 cents
per pound. So we need have little fear on
that score. 1 can eee no reason why prices
should "not rule from 20 to 25 cents, unless
tbe growers will sell for less, in which event
they hare only themselvee to blame.
Of conditions In New York, the "Watenille
Tinttfl of September 12 said:
Those growers who finished picking last
week can congratulate themeelves. for the
weather this week so far has been wet and
disagreeable and very little has been done
In the yards, which are not Improving by
landing. The la'te storms will still further
decrease the yield, for there must be many
bopa that will not be worth picking, owing
to their turning mouldy. Very few now place
their estimates above 50 per cent of last
year. We have beard of no eales of the late
crop. Dealers appear to want to see samples
of the general crop, from tho bale, before
buying. It Is quite uncertain aa yet ' as to
the price at which the market will open.
Hep crop conditions in England were re
ported by the Kentish Observer of Auguwt
21 as fellows:
Bridge and Neighborhood. A big crop of
bops of good quality. Although we hear much
about mould we do not find enough yet to
damage the sample. The heavy rain of Mon
day will, we think, do good, as some leaves
were getting yellow, and where the cones are
thick some, seemed to have stopped growing.
Canterbury The rains this week have un
doubtedly been of benefit to the hops, but
mere especially to the later varieties, which
will now probably be a finer crop than has
been grown for many years, provided of
course mould does not affect them. "Where
picking has commenced the hops are coming
down at from 12 to 15 cwt, per acre, and the
crop generally looks like averaging 12 cwt.
right through.
Mid Kent. The reports this week with but
few exceptions all speak of more mould, which
may reduce the yield of hops to a. considerable
extent, but judging from present appearances,
the crop will be a record one in point of
quantity, the general average being esti
mated at from 11 to 15 and 10 cwt per acre
or from 5 to 7 cwt. per acre more than last
year. A good many pieces will average a
ton per acre. Picking began pretty gen.
crally on Monday and Tuesday, but the prog
ress has been rather slow .on account of the
ehowery weather. Both white and red mould
are present in some grounds, as Is also red
rplder, but on the whole the bops are com.
paratlvely free from disease, and a very
large proportion c the crop will be of splen
did quality. The choice Goldlngs at the Far
leighs will Improve very much now that the
have had a good soaking rain.
Under date of August 31. Bernard Blng,
of NurnberSai:, wrote":
Picking" la 'Bavaria and Bohemia lc In full
swing. The splendid'- breather 'of thVU3t:
weeks has had an excellent effect. Bohemia
and Bavaria -will produce onr of the biggest
and best crops of hops ever put upon the
market. Our hops show perfect In every par.
tlculsr. being full of lupullne and bright
in color. Our crop estimates are aa follows
1005. 1904.
Germany 630.000 445.000
Austria 343.000 200,CK

America. 480,000 400,000
World's crop 2.13S.OO0 3.522,000
There is no question that stocks of hops
In breweries are nearly exhausted all over
the wbrld; brewers therefore have such aa
opportunity to replenish their depleted stocks
as never before
CALIFORNIA FE ACHES ARRIVE,
Sal ways Sell Well, aa Oregon Stock Is Light
Grapes Do Better.
A full car of Sal way peaches arrived from
California yesterday, and another will be In
today. As arrivals from Southern Oregon
and The Dalles were light, the Sal ways met
with a ready demand at 75f?85 cents.
The market for grapes was in good shape
yesterday. Blacks were very scarce, as the
lew prices lately ruling caused shippers to
cut down the supply. Quotations on this va
riety ranged from 00 cents to 11. Muscats
were In fair supply In some quart ors and
were held at 11.25. Tokays sold readily at
$1.25d.&0 for fancy offerings, but a poor
lot brought op on the last steamer was closed
out at 75 cents. Delaware were bard to
move and wore lower at 10915 cents a bas
ket. Cenoords were scarce, but will be plen
tiful today. Other fruits were unchanged. A
car of Lodl melons was received, the last but
one probably of the season.
DRY KrELL BROKEN.
Rains Did Not Injure Hops, but Were Detri
mental to Prunes.
The weekly report of the Oregon Weather
Bureau says in part:
The long dry spell wan broken on the 12th
by good rains which fell generally in tbe
western and northern portions of tbe state.
These rains were supplemented by showers
in scattered places on the 13th, 10th and 17th.
Some Fall plowing and seeding ban been done,
but the soli is not soft enough for this work
to become general. Light frosts occurred In
exposed plac on several days, but they did
no harm.
Hopplcklng Is nearly completed and the
crop Is turning out better than expected. Tbe
rains did not Injure tbe bops, but they were
detrimental to prunes, the picking and dry
ing of which arc well advanced. Reports
indicate that the prune crop wilt be larger
than last year, but much lesa than a full
erop. Late apples are ripening and indicate
from fair to good yields.
Corn is nearly ripe and it is a good crop.
Potatoes are generally free from blight and
the prospects for a good yield in much bet
ter than it was bofore tbe rains set ha.
Oregon Hop Best In tbe World.
SALEM. Or.. Sept, 19. "The beet bops la
the world this year are Oregon bops," says
John Carmlcbael. a buyer for Sngtteh deal
ers. "Oregon growers will make a mistake
If they sell before ampl of the Oregon erop
reach England. The quality of the English
crop is poor, and the Washington. California
and New York bops are interior to these of
Oregon. English brewers must have some
choice hope for the best beers, and the)- will
send to Oregon to get thorn. I do not think
the market wilt be fairly open until England
has seen our samples."
Wheat Active and Steady.
The wheat market continues very" active,
with farmers offering liberally. Jn fact, the
selling so free that the railroad is usable
te bring to tidewater alt the grain offered It.
Dealers arc in hopes that the transportation
difficulty will soon be solved. The tone of
tbe market is good and prices bold steady at
00970 coats for club and 72673 cents tor btue
etem. Let Demand for Eggs.
Leading egg dealers reported a quieter mar
ket yesterday. Buying has been ro active for
the past two weeks hat the falling off in
the demand yesterday was noticeable. Prlees
were stilt Arm and unchanged.
Poultry" receipts were good, but the de
mand was very slreag, and the receipts did
not last long.
There was no change In the butter situation.
Sugar Decline Again.
The sugar market took another 10-cent drop
yesterday en all refined grades, making a de
cline ef 20 cents in two days.

WHEftT III TRANSIT
Heavy 'Movement in the East
Causes Weaker Markets.
DEPRESSION AT CHICAGO
Buying: by Bull Icadcr for Timo
Supports "Market, but General
Selling: Causes an Easy
Closing.
CHICAGO. Sept. 19. Heavy movements of
wheat In the Northwest had a heavy effect
on the market here today. Sentiment at the
opening was rather bearish, and initial quota
tions showed slight losses. December being off
a shade to H0C at S3i,64c The principal
factor contributing to the easier tone was the
continued market ward movement of enorm
ous quantities of new wheat In the North
west. Notwithstanding additional rains
throughout the greater portion of the Spring
wheat belt, arrivals today at Minneapolis and
Duluth totalled 1063 cars. At Winnipeg, also,
reports showed a marked Increase It -was re
ported that the movement would be much
greater but for the Inability of the railway
companies to furnish sufficient cars. Lower
prices for wheat at Liverpool added emphasis
to the bearish sentiment here. For a time
the market had tbe appearance of being on
the verge of a sharp decline. Pit traders sold
freely and caused a slump in tbe December
delivery to S3Hc A prominent bull, how
ever, came to the support of the market.
Forced by the demand from this source the
market rallied. December advancing to &4Hc.
Later the market eased oft again on renewed
selling by pit traders and commtulon-houses.
The close was easy, with December at 83!
064c
Damage to the com crop, resulting from
heavy rains In tbe Southwest, had a bullleh
effect en the corn market- The market closed
firm. December opened unchanged to He lower

Oats were steady. December opened steady
at 2S02S!4c sold up to 2SVic and closed at

Provisions were comparatively steady. At
the close January pork was oS 10c, at

BUT STOCK PRICES DESCEND TO
LOWER TjEVED.
Paris Bankers Will Place No Ob
stacle in the Way of Gold
Importing.
NEW YORK, Sept, 19. It has been assumed
for some time past that anxiety over the
money outlook was the sole restraining In
fluence against speculative advances In stocks,
tbe general brightness of the industrial sit
uation serving to -cause a chafing against this
restraint In professional operations of all
classes. Tbe Interesting developments In the
maney market today were distinctly a relax
ing of tension., but this did not cause inter
est In stocks, the tendency of prices being
toward a lower level. The technical condi
tion of tbe market after last week's consid
erable advance, which was made In the face
ef admonitory pleadings eh the part of a
large element In Wall street, might be held
accountable for tbe reaction In Itself.
There were some factors of a positive nature
against the market. On the side of the money
situation the most disappointing was the ex
pression of the officials of the Bank of
France and other Paris bankers contained In
a cable to tbe Associated Press last night
on tbe prospects of a gold movement to New
York. It was dteclored that the Paris bank
ing world would regard a surrender of gold
by the Bank of France for shipment to New
York with entire equanimity. The Impres
sion which has grown up In New York that
the forthcoming Russian loan would prompt
the placing of obstacle to the withdrawal
of gold from Paris Is dispelled by this ex
pression of opinion on the part of the Parts
bankers. The news of the engagement of
$1,850,000 of gokl for shipment to New York
contained in the Paris dispatch was con
firmed today. The withdrawals up to this
time are all from the London marker.
The revival of the crisis regarding affairs
In Morocco was another disturbing Influ
ence In foreign markets. Tho volume of
selling for foreign account was heavy and
this played no small part in the market. Pen
sion payments and purchase of foreign ex
change by tbe Postofflee Department are the
special Items of the Treasury Department's
demands. The prospects of the money market
were brirhtened.
Bonds were heavy. Total sales, par value,
$3,150,000. United States bonds were all un
changed' on call.
