A trattoaetlea tavotvtag about 700 bales of OrtfiM haps took place at Salem yastcr-Jay. the prlee hdng 12 to 12i cents. The partlea lar were let obtainable, bet It was retri ed that the parehaser was Joseph Harris, the rreeeBtAtve of Sohwartz. of 2Cew York. Hwmera were alto eurrent of another large deal at about the aame prlec. In the mean ttme. the activity In the Washington market e dwtedHng. prSng that the weak cellars there are about oxhausted. Tacema dealers haw been careful to end word ever of every low-priced purchase they have made, but all they oeuM rojwrt yesterday waa two small let-" of 40 and 50 bales taken at 0 and t cents. Surprise is tntN erpretsed by heptraders here at the wtttmgaess-at which Washington grow ers have diapered of their crops at low prices, when by betdlag en until the market had really opeaed they might have eeourod much better firvrca. "There Is no reason In the world why hop prices eheuM be se lew," said one of the beet-ksewn grower-dealers In the state at the Belvedere yesterday. "The market should be Tatty 15 cents today. Instead of 12 cents In Orejcen and 16 cents in Washington. Hops are elttng In Xew York at 16 and 17 cento, and the lew prices that growers arc accepting here are ridiculous. The trouble, of course, can be laid to the bears, who havo fright ened the growers Into relllng at these unheard of prices. Oregon Is going to have a fine crop tato year, probably 110.000 bales, and the c,ttajltr will be excellent, except in the few yards where picking was delayed until the ram started. I believe the English crop win be 800,000 cwU, but a big portion of it win be inferior, as they had very bad weather there during picking time. As soon as the Oregon samples get to London, the English will -commence to bay here, andthen proper prlees wlH be paid." "It is hard enough to bus Oregon hops." nald a local dealer yeejerday, "but, " ' rood deal harder to sett them In the Bast. I have made all kinds of offers te my customers, houses that I have had for years, but I can get no response from them. It Is those fel lows up In Tacoma that- hae paralyzed the Eastern market. They have picked up a lot of cheap heps of eme kind of quality and are offering them at correspondingly lew prices in the EaM. The result Ls that the Eastern buyers havr come te believe tbat they can get hops at any time at thotr owr price. However. I believe the supply ef cheap Wash tagton heps le about exhausted, and tbat the thfc ef the market ls going te turn." GOOD DEMANDrOR FRUIT. Froj In ToppenUh DUtrlct Will Cut Off Cantaloupe Supplies From There. Trading in the fruit market waa active yes terday, notwithstanding the weathor, as to day wilt be practically a holiday en the street. Supplies ef nearly every variety were ample. Poach as wore particularly abundant, and 75 cents was all that was aoked for the hret offering. Cantaloupes ranged hi price from 75 coats to J 1.26. according to fHallty, the best oemmandlwg ready rale. Word was received from Yakima of a heavy frost in the Toppenlsh district, which may shut off eupptice from that quarter. Bank Clearings.

SMALL EFFECT ON STOCKS General Belief in Speculative Quar ters That Rate Will Relax N'cxt Week Drain on Bank Re serves Is Expected. NEW YORK, Sept, 29. Today's stock mar ket shewed remarkable resistance te the squeeze la the money market. As leans made at the Stock Exohange on Friday earn aver uatll Monday, this was practically the last day ef the month for stock exchange borrow ers and consequently making-Hp day previous te the quarterly settlements of October 1. The heavy special requirements at this time. In addition to the ordinary demand for the quar terly settlements, have been so well under stood tbat the stock exchange community was quite .prepared to see a 6 per cent rate for call money today. When the rate went above that almost Im mediately after the opening, the market fol lowed slightly and there came a light spill ing out of Mocks which carried the price level comprehensively below last night. The heavy offerings of money brought Into the market from some of the principal Wall street hanks by the 6 per cent rate carried call leans back again to 5 per cent. Stocks there upon recovered, and when the rate for money went higher than before, the stock market was practically unaffected. Today's rate was the highest of the year, with the exception of a few leans made late In the afternoon preced IngVthe Good Friday holiday, when 7 per cent was quoted to carry over until the following Monday. The eeuanamlty with which today's flurry tvas accepted Is due to the general hope In dulged In speculative quarters that the rate will relax next week. The Atchison and Pennsylvania bond subscription payments are expected to be pretty ckeely eonnnod to shifting of book accounts and the proceeds are expected to be quickly available for re turn to the money market. The rome Is true of the tax payment to be made in this city next Monday. The compilation of the current movement for the week makes sufficiently plain, however, that other causes than the syndicate and tax transaction g to account for the stlffer money market. Banking authorities expressed the opinion that on the regular express move ment with the Interior, receipts have about balanced the shipments, but the sub-Treasury had taken from the banks up to Thursday evening $6,679,000. The Government Institu tion had a credit balance at the clearing house this morning of $265.7t-0. thus lndleat Isg another day's very heavy drain to figure m tomorrow' bank statement. After this week'a bond transactions are out of the way the Japanese bond subscription for October 16 will come Into consideration. The heavy drop In sterling exchange here to day awakened hopes of a revival of the im port movement of gold. The money rate showed a tendency to settle at about 6 per cent late In the day. after having run up to 64 per cent at one time and having fluctu ated below that figure with a belated flurry to 7 per cent. The effort to rally the market centered en the Reading stocks and an increase in the dlvhf ed . 1h Railway Steel Spring caused a Jump m the mock and speculative advances In a number of other low-priced industrials. The market dosed strong In spite ef tiI dullness. Beads were Irregular. Total salts par value, $2,764,000. United States bonds were all unchaBgeQ on call. CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS. Closing Sales.

SEPTEMBER TRADE ACTIVE UNEXAMPLED PROSPERITY IN ALL- COMMERCIAL LINES. Confidence in Future of the Coun try's Business Good Start in Next Year's Crop. NEW YORK. Sept. 29. Bradstreet's tomor row will say: September ("hows a period of unexampled, activity in all lines of trade and industry with optimism as to the future. Favoring a satisfactory winding up of the month's work have been good weather conditions, allowing the maturing of all food crops without dam age from frost. Additionally helDful to dis tributive trade and collections have been the beginning of a free movement of Spring wheat, large sales of cotton at good prices South, an unprecedented demand at top price- for all kinds of building material, marked freedom from strikes and a good market for labor. Winter wheat seeding Is active. A very large acreage will be planted and soli and plant conditions seem to insure a far better start than a year ago. Heavy shipments of raw materials and of goods to consuming centera combine to tax transportation facilities early in the season. Business failures In the United States for the week ending September 28 number 183. against 173 last week and 170 In the like week of 1904. In Canada, failures for the week number 2S, as agalnot 30 last week and 21 a year ago. Wheat, including flour, exports for the week ending September 23 are 2.0O4.9S2 bushels, against 2.178.478 last week and 1.182,203 this week last year. From July 1 to date the exports are 10,020,733 bushels, against 17,442. 783 last year. RETAIL TRADE STIMULATED. Weather Not Cold Enough to Menace Late Crops. NEW YORK. Sept, 29. Dun's Weekly Re view of Trade will say: Lower temperatures stimulated retail trade and Fall openings are largely attended, but the weather is net cold enough to menace late crops. Certainty of a successful season en the farms contributes more than any othvr single factor to the confidence that is felt in all sections of the country. Comparatively little new grain has been marketed thu far. which Is largely due to the planting of Winter wheat and other cereals for next year that are unusually extensive. Railway traffic reports suggest a larger bus iness It rolling stock and locomotives could be obtainable. Gross earnings thus far re ported for September surpass last year's by 1.1 per cent, which in turn were 6.5 per cent greater than those of 1003. Foreign commerce at this port for the last week shows gains 0 $3,165,374 In the value of merchandise ex ported and $2,953,392 In imports an compared with last year. Heavy receipts of cattle at Chicago and other Western markets do pet weaken the hide market. --- Failures this week number 240 In the United States, against 223 last year end 21 in Can ada, compared with 18 a year ago.

NEW YORK, Sept. 29. So far as could be ascertained today, no attempt has yet been made by the thief who got possession of $360,000 worth of securities by pre senting a forged check for them at the National City Bank yesterday to dispose of them. Detectives and the financial men in terested In the los3 are making every ef fort to prevent the negotiation or sale of the securities and to And the young man who presented at the bank a forged check bearing what purported to he the signature of Pearl & Co., the owners of the securities. Much significance is attached to the fact that the certified check exchanged for the valuables was made out with one day's Interest at 4 per cent, instead of 44 per cent. Pearl & Co.. owners of the securities, which they had deposited as collateral on the previous day, thought the rate was 44. although the bank authori ties put it down at 4& on their books, and this fact tends to show, according to the detectives at work on the case that the forger must have been in close touch with the loan department of the National City Bank. Vice-President Frank A. Vanderllp, of the National City Bank, made a state ment regarding the theft. Se said that Pearl & Co. made a loan at the National City Bank through the Stock Exchange in the ordinary way. On "Wednesday a check apparently of the firm of Pearl & Co. was presented, drawn on the Han over National Bank, and with a certifica tion made for the exact amount of the lace or tne loan plus the interest for one day. This showed, he said, that the person who made the forgery had known the details of the loan, the firm, the rate of interest and the amount, which are the elements of interest calculated. The forgery of the name of Teller Burns, of the Hanover Bank, Mr. Van derllp pronounced especially good. He said that no one in the employ of the National City Bank was suspected in the case.
