EGGS Eastern giving geod tatls faotton. BVTTER Local market steady. CHBESE Prices are Strang. Hopmon who have returned from sampling trips up the Valley eay that the growers are almost a. unit" In holding for higher prices. Most of then have set their mind en 15 cent. wd the 16 and 11 -cent offers made them by dealers arc naturally rejected. No business In new goods is therefore pofJWe now. Holders af M bops, as a class, are also very firm, though the sate of an occasional lot Its re ported. A deal in 1904s at Salem yesterday at 12 toRti fhawfl-that values in this state are Mt receding. .The hops belonged to Hackett Bros., and were bought by Lachmund & Co. A private wire from Taeema stated that Klabor had bought 50 bale of strictly choice M Ortlng at 95; cents. CMher reports from that section indicated that the growers were stiffening up, but It Is to be expected that an oooasteaal weak xetler can be found in any teeaNy. In the Yakima, and Chchalls dis tricts, the growers are holding very firm. The continued rain Is oauoing much appre hension among the farmers who have not fin ished picking, and report of mold are begin ning to come In from several points. Picking in the Shores yard at "Voo4burn, the last in that neighborhood," was finished yes lord ay. in tte a number of yards around Independence. MeedvWe and North YamMII there is much yet to be done. A local dealer raid yesterday: "People herl arc making a mistake about the Quality ol Weotern Washington hops. There may be jorae poor hov grown there, but 1 have seen plenty of samples from the Puyatiup district that are wt as choke as Oregons. The WatervWe. X. Y., Times of September 22 reported that market as fellows: The market that was established 1am. week hr several sales at IT and 18c does not bag. and other sales have been made at ho-e prices this week, the majority at the tatter price. There is a great diversity in the quality of hops this year, some choice and Mime poor and of course when all these 'differ ent grades eomc Into the market the prices of fered will show a corresponding diversity. "U'e have heard of nothing otd above ISc. W. S. Smith and IV. T. Ioftun are reported to have COM en that price for their growth while It. 31. Usher got lTVic and C I.. Terry. Phllio Ph, Terry Bros, and A. J. Barber received I7 for their growths or parts thereof. "What the next fow days will blng forth In regard to prices is a problem. Many would be rottsfied to ece them remain firm at the prevent lUts. The Kentish Observer of September 7 sold f the HngMsh crop: Aefe-Next-Sandwlch Picking is now in full wing, but very little could be done before Thursday. 1 am afraid moldy samples will be rather more numerous than gene-ally expected. Bridge and neighborhood A few gardens still have good hop, but the majority are getting more moldy every day. One grower, after picking only one wef-k. has left them and sent his pickers to a more fortunate neigh bor tilt Ms late GoMings are ready. The crop varies from 10 to 20 cwte. per acre. Canterbury Picking is likely to last till the end of the month, the crop being no very heavy. The average yield will probably work out at IS cwt. per acre. Some pieces will average nearly a ton per acre. The general quality Is exceptionally good, and there la but Utile mold anywhere. Maidstone and district Hops are coming down quite up to growers expectations, and the average range from 12 to 18 cwt., but at Roxtey they are getting quite 15 cwt. all through. At Hotttnghourne the quantity av erages between 11 and 12 cwt. At Alllngton. Aylosford and Dltton there is a eplendld crop, uooaoslcd probably la respect of quality any where in Mid Kent. An avcrago of at least IK cwt. per acre wHl be obtained. From the annual statements of several Eng lish hop dealers, the following extracts are taken: Manger & Henley For some years we have had to report that the hops have been Buffer ing from a severe attack of aphis blight. This year, we are glad to ay. we hardly remem ber a crop being grown with less vermin. Very IttUe washing or sulphuring has been done, so the bountiful crop before us has been grown naturally, without the usual trouble and difficulties, and must, therefore, be of more than ordinary value to the consumer. Pattenden & Smith This year there is a crop of bops in this country which has been grown under the most favorable circumstances thus far. and which promisee better brewing qualities than any we have had for many years past. There is. as usual, a certain pro portion of moldy pieces, and these the grow ers win be well advised not to pick. The Quantity Is variously estimated, but is prob obty about sufficient for one year's consump tion without the aid of any foreign oupplles. Wests Jones fc Co. The present year will doubtlees be remembered as a very exceptional one In regard to the production of the hop crop, owing to the remarkable absence, from the start of the plant to the present time, of any serious attack on the plantations by the usual enemies of the plant. The result is a sound, naturally grown crop, which, in our opinion, although considerably smaller than the growths of 1880 and 1901. Is still a. plenti ful one. The English acreage Is returned at 46.06S acres, a' slight Increase over last year's return, which was the smallest for nearly a century. J. T. Nekes & Co. The sca6on of 1005, we are glad to cay. will be exceptional In one great respect, the absence of vermin and at tendant remedies having resulted In a crop of unusually healthy quality; better in fact than we have had for many years past: while the quantity, although perhaps hardly equal to the anticipations of some weeks ago, owing to Mind bine and other causes occasioned by the lorclng weather, will be sufficient to fill alt heme requirements. TLENTr OF POULTRY. Front Street la Liberally Supplied "With AU . Varieties. Front street had more poultry on it yes terday than for a long time past. Mostot tho arrivals were worked off at quotations, but it wan with some difficulty that prices-were held up. The turkey market was particularly weak, as. receipts of these fowls have been unusually- heavy. A great many Eastern eggs are being of fered, but Values bold steady, as good Ore gon errs are scarce and most of the Eastern stock .1 giving satisfaction. Butter and cheese are unchanged, the for raer remaining steady and. the latter firm. XteeHn in Llmeed OH. Unseed oil quotations- declined 4 cents a gallon yesterday. Raw is now auoted at 55 cento la gates' and boiled at 57 cents In cases. FRUIT DEMAND GOOD. In Spit f Cool Weather Grapes and Peaches Are "Wanted. There was a steady demand for fruit yes terday and euppllea were ample, the only scarce article being ripe bananas. A car of peaches was received from Ashland and fair supplies came in from other sections. Among the grape shipments received was one of Tokays, grown by B. Barbtffijf Jack sonville, which were without doubt'-the finest Tokays brought to this market this season. They sold readily at $L50. Two cars of or angeo and one of sweet potatoes feaxae in In the forenoon. LACK OF CARS. "Wheat Movement "Would Be More Active If Facilities Werr Better. There i a moderate -volume of trading in the wheat market. Selling Is free In some sections, but in others there is mere dteoosl tien en the part of farmers to hold on. Deal ers report that they are able to get all the wheat that the railroad can handle, but were transportation facilities better, the movement would be more active. Some firms quoted 72 cents on club yesterday, others 71 cents. On bluest em, 74 and 75 cents wan offered. Valley wheat was quoted quiet at 71 cents. Bank Clearings.

There was a per ceptible pinch In money conditions today, and the stock market showed the effect, although the course of money has been very definitely and confidently foreseen. Both call loans and time loan rates were quoted higher, call loans going to 5 per cent, and the supply was ob viously growing scarcer. Some slight effect on prices of stocks was produced, but the principal result in the stock market was the stagnation of the speculation. Various factors conduced to the course of the money market. Doubtless there Is an ex tensive shifting of loans going on to prepare for the great syndicate operations which fall due Saturday, but aside from this the actual cash reserve of the banks are subject to la crealng drain. The event ef the day was the advance in the Bank of England discount rate of a full 1 per eent to 4 per cent, carrying It baek to the level of two years ago. since whleh time It had, progrejwlvely declined until the adjranco of three weeks ago. The proportion of the bank's reserve Is lower than for many yearn. The action of the bank Is thus made clear after allowance Is made for the large amount of gold in cash speculation which Is "ear marked" for the Indian government and which does not figure In the reoerve. It Is con fidently expected that the Imperial Bank of Germany wilt Imitate the English bank at Its next meeting. The resumption of refunding announced by the Secretary of the Treasury made a good Im pression, but the relief to the money market by thbt method will depend on the taking out of new circulation whleh may result, and wilt operate but slowly at the best. One or two stocks showed some degree of strength and helped to sustain the market. Bonds were dull and heavy. Total sales, par value. $3.U2S.1k.,U. United States 2s de clined on call.
