Moreover, being available for the slUee During tart reason we consumed abowt MI.(i.M bwsfcets of native and for emen wboat In the form of flour, besides a c Moveable quantity on the farms for p(g and cMriten load, la the former season the quan- ttttr wax 4.ttft,0 bushels in the form of flow ta addltlOB to 24.000.000 to 32.000.000 bwibt t for eed and animal food. If we reck' en that we shall require nearly 248.000.000 bwt-beU for k In the form of flour thU sea ran and alien that 44.900.000 bushels out of ".4dA.M bushels British wheat will reach tbe ndU bopser. K will leave a void balance of vatber over 3OA.OMiO00 bushels to be filled with foreign wheat France As to the likely quantity of foreign wheat which Fraaee will Import during the wuret reason, oplnlona are lew at variance than Is ha Ml. tor nearly alt are agreed that owing to denuded stock of old wheat and poor woulta from the recent harvest that France 1U prove to be dependent upon foreign sources f eupplr during the current eeaion for a portion of her wants. Estimates of what this portion may be van- all the way down from i4.oM.OO0 bushota to as low as 16.000.000 bush el. It Is evident that the "market In Paris la reckoning aa serious the problem of future reentrameat. for native wheat In Paris is woted at 8fs 4d for prompt and 41s for dis tant deliver-, compared with 27 per 4 SO lbs. the mrrent price of native wheat in England, a difference of 12a to 14 per quarter, com pared with ISs 3d. the preeent rate of duty. V do not forget how rarely France Imports wheat on a large icae. once only in the past ten years baa the quantity Imported exceeded So.W.000 bwettel. but In view of such a con etUA of opinions that stocks of wheat were at vantefeing point a month ago and that the new crop on nearly half the entire acreage of France Is more or lew Inferior, we think we hall not be aooused of sensationalism If we reckon that France will Import for consump tion and for the manufacture of paste, etc. In bond during the current reason about 32.000.- bushels of foreign wheat, compared with an average of 16.000.000 bushels during the yat three seasons. Germany The Imports of the Fatherland may be on an increased scale this season, aa the Impending advance la the rate of duty ext March should be an Incentive to ralllere and merchant to load up heavily after the turn of the year, while in addition the Ger man crop this season li hardly likely to turn out equal to last year's, which was the larg est on record. For these reasons we ehall not be surprised if Germany imports two to three million quarters more than last season, say, rather over S0.00d.CKX) bushela. compared with erMO.000 bushels In 1004-5.

Among the visiting hopraen at the Belve dere Hotel yesterday was John "W. Dole, a dealer of Boston. Mr. Dole la a veteran in the trade and has spent many years studying the market, but he oonfecfes that this year it is a mystery to him. 1 had ne Idea that prices would go eo low be said yestorday. "but then it must be remembered that the market has not fairly opened yet. The sales made in the last few days In 'Washington, though they appear large, are only a drop In the bucket None of the brewers are In the market yet. They are ali holding off expecting to oee prices lower. They have been bombarded with circulars and letters from dealers on this Coast and in the East, every erne predicting extremely low prices, and naturally they refuse to buy now. I believe It Is because of this lack of demand that prices have declined 'to far. "This year the hop market Is. strictly speak ing, a bear market. It does not eeem'to have & single friend. Everyone seems to be in dustriously engaged in hammering i. down, and tt Is no wonder that prices have gone off. I nave een many bear campaigns before, but sever such a rank one aa this. "One thing Is certain, however, and that 1 that the consumers are going to insist on having choice hojE this Fall. "Where their contracts call for them, they are going to have them I understand the crop of Oregon, as a , -whole, is very good, and If that is the case. there Is bound to be a very strong demand here for hops of the best quality. I believe the market for Oregons will be decidedly ac tive as eoon as the caraplea get East. "I have just come through the Xaklssa. "dis trict, where they have a big crop of "about the same quality - aa last year. The growers tbere ere firm. I do not know what the w York crop will be, except that It Is less than last and there la much complaint there of quality " A telegram received ln this city ' yesterday from Yakima said the growers were holding firmly for 12 cents and rejected offers at lower prices. The Qrcgon growers, aa a class, are also strong and cannot be touched with offers under 15 cents, though one 50-bale sale was reported from Eugene at 12 cents, the hops grading prime to choice. 'While In all other sections the market appears to be hold ing -up well, the growers of "Western "Washing ton continue to selL About A00 bales were reported to have been sold there yesterday at 10 and 11 cents. Most of the buying In Wash ington was done by McNeff Bros., and It was eald here yesterday that it was for the ac count of XI a be r and Pincus. From "William H. Overlock, of Kent, McNeff Bros, bought 200 bales and secured an option on 300 more. Kohler Bros., of Ortlng. sold 250 bales. Leach Bre., of Ortlng. 100 bales, and small amounts were secured from other growers. FRUIT EXPRESS ARRIVES LATE. Front Street Well Cleaned Up Before Train Gets In. The express did not reach Front street until late yesterday afternoon, and the market was almost bare of peaches and grapes when It arrived. There was a good demand for the former after train time, and sales were made freely around 00 cents. Concord grapes were In good supply In the forenoon, one bouse alone receiving 400 hair baskets, which fM at 20 cents. A shipment ef excellent Malagas and Rose of Peru came tip from Jacksonville In the' evening. A car of Sal way peaches Is due from California today. The lemon market is easier and choice are now quoted at ?4 and fancy at fS. Oranges cleaned up well yesterday. Cranberries are more plentiful. A lot has been received from Ilwaco, which are held at f 10 a barrel. Fine ripe Tillamook berries are selling at St.ZO a box. rOULTRY MAY 'OT HOLD UT. Receipts Continue Large, but Demand Seems to Be Well Filled. There was no npeclal change In the poultry market yesterday. Receipts were very heavy, but most ef them cleaned up. The demand has been pretty well filled and dealers anticipate a decline In the coming week unices arrivals arc smaller than they have been. Turkeys are coming in rather heavily. Eggs are reported rather slow of eale. but the prices quoted by the different houses fbow but little change. The butter market Is also dragging. Dressed -Meat Trade Quiet. TTw market for all kinds of dreased meats was quiet yesterday. Veal howed weakness, owing to heavy receipts of poor grade stuff, but prices were not quotably lower. There was a fair demand for block bogs, but no In quiry for packers. Beef was in abundant iwp ply, but Jt was practically Impossible to move tu Bank Clearings.

ScpL 22. (Special.) The whoal harvest throughout the Palouse country Is about over. A few more busy days for the threshing machine men and the big -wheat crop will he threshed, sacked and hauled to the eleva tors that line the O. Rl & N. and North ern Pacific roads and the machinery that did the work will be put under cover to await the next harvest. Already seeding on Summer fallowed ground has begun by many of the Palouse farmers. R c. Mc Croskey. "the wheat king," who at one time said "I'd rather be the best farmer in the state thaa to be Governor of the state.", has his crop of wheat all threshed and housed and Is very busy with men and teams seeding his vast acres of rich Palouse soil for next year's crop. Mr. McCroskey Is one of the successful fann ers of this section and by looking after every detail of his farming operations he has -made a grand success of the busi ness, he farms 2300 acres. Summer fallow ing a part of It each year and having from 100 to 1000 acres. Into wheat each year. Two years ago he sold his wheat for 67 cents per bushel and cleared $13,(0) above all expenses for the year by farming POO acres. Last year he farmed 130Q acres and sold his wheat for 68 cents, clearing above expenses about 133,000. J. N. Livingston, another successful farmer, has his wheat crop threshed and is now busy with men and teams seeding on Summer fallow. Mr. Livingston farms 500 acres and this year harvested a- wheat crop that yielded GO bushels to the acre. But very little wheat is being sold by the Palouse farmers. They are all out of debt and have money In the banks of Whitman County and do nbt have to sell their wheat but are in a position to hold for a higher price, which they expect to geL The potato crop of Eastern Washington is a failure this year, with SI days with out a drop of moisture the late-planted potatoes will not be worth digging. Hun dreds of acres were planted but the June and July rains failed to come and the farmers expect to raise only enough for seed this season. The apple crop of the Palouse country is also a failure this year. The trees blossomed nicely In the early Spring but heavy frost damaged the crop in June, and a wind storm about two months ago destroyed the remainder of the crop. Cattle are looking fine but the price is low. Hogs and sneep are bringing the farmer big money Just now. Hogs are worth on foot $6.50 to $7, which Is the highest price paid to the farmers here in two years. Sheep are worth on foot $3 to $3.25. pried Fruit at New York." NEW YORE, Sept. 22.

CHICAGO MARKET STRONG Urgent Cash Demand at Minneapolis Wlthr Millers Competing for Offerings Kansas City Wants Spot Wheat. i CHICAGO. Sept. 22. With the exception of a slight reaction immediately after the open ing, the wheat market was strong- the entire eeselon. At the start, the December option was a shade lower to He higher, at S4Vjc to S4KJS4?ic. Pit traders were free seller for a time, and In cooMquence December eaWd off to 84HtfS4He- Weather In the Northwest was clear, and this fact was apparently the chief cause of the selling pressure. Sentiment in the pit, however, noon became bullish. The cauee for the change In feeling was a report from Liverpool stating that the price for Sep tember delivery had advanced almost 4d there today as a remit of an attempt to corner the market. This news brought out active buying from shorts. In addition, a leading bull be came -active on the buying side, and this caused the demand to become more general. Advices from . Minneapolis reporting an excel lent demand for cash wheat, with millers bid ding In competition for the ofTerlngu, rein forced the bullish feeling which the news from abroad had Inspired. At St. Louis and Kan sas City cash wheat was reported to be In demand. Prices were steadily forced upward until December touched S5jc The market continued strong the remainder of the day, closing quiet, with quotations at. almost the highest point of the session. Final quotations on December were -i9:ic higher, a 85 Vic. The feature of trading in com waa the per sistent demand from a leading trader for corn for May delivery. . Notwithstanding this urgent demand, the market exhibited no unusual strength, owing to liberal offerings from com mission houses.

NEW YORK. Sept, 22. The call money rate today carried an admonition against specula tive excess, and the rise in the rate had its effect In the. stock, market. Operations were conducted with caution, and the market waa undtr pressure at times, hut the disposition to proceed with the upward movement was never free from the actual necessities of the money market, which was In evidence. Call loan rates advanced to the highest level of the year under the demand for accommodation to carry over until Monday,. which la required under the stock exchange rule. On the other hand, lha promise was for a good bank statement, and operators In Mocks were loth to forego the advantage which sight come from the sentimental effect of this to rn orow. It appears" that the movement of fund oa balance to the latertor darioz the week had hardly been lufflcent to wipe cut the small gain on the week's Sub treasury opera tions. - The cash reserves of the banks should eeem, therefore to bellttle changed from laet week. The principal Interest attaches to the loan item. There have been some withdrawals of credits during the week, but it Is not clear whether thje has been on the part of the banks or has been due to some retrenchment on the part of the trust companies loans previously taken over from the banks. A decrease in the Joan item of the banks should result In an Improvement of the surplus" reserve Item. Each ad Improvement undoubtedly would be welcomj as a margin against future needs. It ia noi supposes -mat tne movement ot tunas to the Interior has ceased for the season. From September 23 to September 30 there will fall due a 50 per cent Installment of oub scrlptlons to the $100,000,000 Pennsylvania con vertible bond issues. On September 30 is pay able a 37Vi per cent Installment on $32,000,000 ot Atchison convertible bend. Bankers con nected with these operatleno assert that fall payment has already been made In anticipa tion of the maturity of the obligation by a large number of subscribers, in order to save interest. The same is true of the final install ment of the Japanese loan. Dread of a possible violent flurry In the money market late In the afternoon had some thing td do with the early depression, and when the money demand for the day was tnt- isfled without any actual flurry, an active de mand for stock sprang up, which extended, to moct all the list. The closing was Arm at the top. Bonds were irregular. Total sales, par value $4,280,000. United States 2s, coupon, advanced Vi per cent on call. STOCK QUOTATIONS. Closing Sales. High. Low. bid.

At the leading Jobbing centers activity continues. Industry ts active. Building- materials, par ticularly timber and hardware reflect unprece dented activity for thto season of the year. There Is more doing In retail trade. The ab sence of frost is still the favorable feature in the crop situation, favoring, as it does. the almost total exemption of corn from dam age. Taken as a whole, collections have improved, Money Is easier, though shipments to the country still continue large. Railway ton nage offering is very heavy. It is noted that enough cars to move coal to the lakes cannot be obtained In the Pittsburg district. Labor Is well employed, and additional reports of scarcity of help come from widely Separated points.

Crop reports are reassuring and evidence ot con tinned activity are noted In almost every de partment ot Industry. A wholesome growth without the threatening danger of reckless In flatlon of prices is a commercial condition greatly to be desired, and these elements are recorded In the majority of dispatches. As grain comes to market more "freely there Is difficulty in averting freight blockades, and railway earnings thus tar available for Sep tember exceed laat year's by 2.5 per cent. Foreign commerce at this port for the last week showed a gain of $535,846 In imports, but a loss of f4.C68.163 In exports.
