BARLEY Firm and 'unchanged.
OATS Strong and slightly higher.
FRUIT Wet weather checks trad
ing; POULTRY Prices probably at low
est point.
HOPS Picking not finished at Che
halls. Flour buying for the Orient at the moment
le rather quiet. The Japanese are making some
offers, but do not respond readily to the late
advance In prices here. Not much trading
U looked for for the next two weeks at least,
but If the market holds steady It is believed
the Orientals will hen take hold more freely.
Just now they have .apparently all the flour
they want to take care of. owing to the heavy
purchases in July and August. There Is. no
buslners passing with Hongkong, as the boy
cott there Is still effective. The local -flour
market continues moderately active, with
prices steady In accordance with the un
changed wheat values.
The wheat market yesterday had a quiet ap
pearance, and prices were quoted as form
erly, club at 71c and bluestem at 74c Oats
-were firm and slightly higher, some dealers
quoting S24..50. The barley market was
etrong at the' old price.
Crop conditions in foreign countries arc thus
reported by Broomhall'a Corn Trade news of
September 18: -
United Kingdom A week of fine weather ljas
enabled growers In the United Kingdom to
finish harvest work In all. except the very
latest, districts; and. moreover, owing to the
prevailing low temperatures, the crops appear
to have taken little serious harm from the
recent rains. Reports generally speak well of
threshing results for .wheat, although -naturally
there are some complaint both as regards
quality and yield. Deliveries of English farm
ers continue on a liberal scale, but last -week's
average price; viz.. 26s lid per 480 lb.. was
2d lower than the previous week's.
Germany Autumn field work Is progressing
under favorable conditions, and with more fa
vorable weather people are feeling more hope-w
iul about the potato and root crops. There
are continued complaints of the scarcity of
native rye.. Wheat, rye and coarse grains
meet a good demand, partly owing to the in
different harvest and partly because of the
prospective increase of Import duties. The
dearnees of meat la also a factor and there.
can(be no doubt that raisers of cattle and
pigs will feed on a large scale. In order to
take advantage of the present high prices.
Russia The preliminary crop estimates we
mentioned last week have been since with
drawn, and Xhe semi-official Journal of Indus
try and Commerce has Issued estimates mak
ing the supposed crop of Winter and Spring
"wheat In 64 governments 440.00a.0OD bushele.
against 610,000.000 bushels In 1004. In spite
of this, however, and notwithstanding contin
ued talk of scarcity of railway wagons the ex
jort movement Is on an Immense scale. Ship
pers still say they expect to see the move
ment fall off sharply later in the .season, but
at present there are no signs of any reduc
tion, and It is fairly certain that if the Ger
mans want the wheat and keep prices high
enough they will be able to fill their require
ments. Very bot weather now prevails In
South Russia. A report Just received says
that not a drop of rain has fallen for about
three weeks, while the thermometer has dally
registered 00 to 100 degrees Fahrenheit. It is
"suite impossible to commence plowing or seed
ing for the crops of 1906.
India Wheat crop prospects have been great
ly improved by the recent heavy rains. Ship
pers are now more disposed to offer, and it
Is expected that shipments will increase at no
distant date.
Argentina The wheat crop -continues to
trow well and the latest sown, In the South,
now shows an excellent plant.- Shipments of
wheat and corn are very .fair for the time
of year, but a strike is. reported from Rosarlo,
ind If It develops the movement may be re
duced. POULTRY TRICES AT BOTTOM.
Low Quotations Are Expected to Shut Off
Shipments.
The poultry market showed no improvement
yesterday, notwithstanding the liberal buying.
Retailers were out In force, attracted by the
low prices, but probably would not have oper
ated so heavily had quotations been advanced.
Receipts were no so heavy as on the pre
ceding day, and stocks were cleaned up long
before nightfall. Prices on chickens ran all
the way from 11 to 12 cents.
Turkeys were a drug on the market and
were hard to dispose of at any price. Geeso
and ducks were In good demand. It is be
lieved that the low prices that have prevailed
on chickens and turkeys will result in much
smaller receipts in the coming week.
There were no changes in other lines yes
terday. Strictly fresh Oregon eggs were firm
at the top price and other kinds were eteady.
Butter quotations remained Unchanged.
RAIN CHECKS FRUIT TRADE.
Orders for Produce Lost on the Wrecked St,
raul Will Be Duplicated.
The rainy weather put a damper on the
fruit business, but still, there was a fair de
mand yesterday for grapes and peaches. Of
the latter, a few only came. In from The
Dalles, and they' were rather small. The beet
brought 75 85 cents a box. A car of delayed
bananas arrived in 'very fair condiUon, and
two cars of sweet potatoes also came In. To
matoes were a drug on the market and were
Hot quotable above or 40 for the best
'Ashland stock.
In the cargo of the wrecked steamer St.
Paul was a lot of grapes, lemons, navel or
anges and cocoanuts. The fruit orders will
be duplicated for shipment North by the
Columbia.
THIRTEEN CENTOS. FOR HOPS.
Harris, of Salem, Bays ihe Yeargea Crop at
That Price.
Thirteen cents Is the market quotation for
choice Oregon hope, another eale having been
made at that price yesterday. Joseph Harris,
of Salem, bought the Yeargen crop of 105- bales
.at l?c. making the purchase for Schwartz &
Sone. of New York, for Export.
The Oregonian Tuesday last reprinted an ar
ticle from the Watenille, N. Y.. Times,
credited tof the Kentish Observer of September
14. forecasting the "English crop at "some
thing over 800.000 cwt." The figures, in the
Kentish paper were "GOO. 000 cwt," and the
mUrtake made by the WaterviUe -Times was
therefore inadvertantly continued in this pa
per. The subsequent .issue of the Kentish Ob
server, that of September 21. quotes the East
KentWh Chamber of Agriculture as authority
for the statement that the crop of 1905 will
equal that of 1001. which was 049.000 cwt.
Ernest, Wells, the local representative of the
E. Clemens Ho rat Company, who returned yes
terday from a trip to Chehalla. reports that
hopplcklag la .still under way there.
"Some of the yards," he said, "will not fin
ish picking until the middle of next week,
but there Is little, if any. sign of mold as a
reeult of the rain. 7be. quality of the crop
in that section, as a rule. Is very fine. 1 found
the growers to be very firm In their views."
Press telegrams continue to report the New
York hop market as firm. The Boston Com
mercial Bulletin of latest date says of that
market:
"The stock of old hops Is practically cleaned
up, and dealers are cn the cve of opening up
their. supplies of the 2005 crop. Actual busi
ness during the past week has been small.
There is a good Inquiry, however, from brew
ers, many of whom are now much shorter
stocked than for yeans past, and much ex
changing of letters and telegrams between the
buyers here and the sellers on the Coast. Al
though the quality of the new crop Is, on the
whole, -ery fine. It Is apparent that the crop
will be somewhat shorter than last year. The
New Tork state output will fall very far be
hind that of 1004, and the -Coast output slight
ly behind that of last' year. Local dealers are
opening sample bales Just arriving and ex
press satisfaction at the general good qual
ity. yThe following quotations contain prices
for the 1903 and 3904 crops, and are repre
eentatlve of the quotations at whtch all pres
ent actual business Is bring accomplished: Pa
cific Coast, 1004. 2023c; do, 1905. 2324c:
New York atate. 1904, 20Sr3c; do. 1905. 2331
24c"
Veal Market Lower.
The veal market Is very weak, owing to
heavy receipts In the past few days, and prices
generally show a half-cent decline. Pork,
Is in good condition, sells', readily 'at the oldw
quotations. There 1s no change In beef or
mutton, both 'of which are vt-ry .dull.

INDEPENDENCE. Or.. Oct. 6. (SpeciaL)
It la not often that hopplcklng runs into Oc
tober, but such is the case thl year. Today,
October 6. practically winds up the hopplck
lng season. The scarcity of pickers, the In
dependence of those who did pick and rainy
weather the pan 10 day have combined to
prolong the season. Most of the white pack
ers have quit and tone home A few, how
ever, remain to see the wind-up of picking;
arid all the Indians are still here. The local
printing office turned out the last batch of
hop ticket today. . They are being used In
the Perclval jard run by J. F. Groves, and
are a change from the weight to the box sys
tem. The Rote yard has more unpicked hop
than any yard in this district. If the weather
a-hould clear up and the same force be now
has would remain, there is about two days'
picking yet, and tbey are fine hope
C. A. McLaughlin finished the Hlrschberg
yard today in the rain. T. A. Rlgg has
quit In the George Wells yard. Kreb' pick

factor in the situation. The fact that the
German have been buying American wheat
seemed the. principal point around whlch re

sumption. This may be taken as a "sign."
cays the statistician that the German crops
of wheat and rye are even worse than had
been thought and that more demand for for
eign wheat exists. Further confirmation of
the Improved demand for wheat for export waa
received in dispatches from Duluth and Win

.NEW YORK, Oct. 6. Dun's Weekly Review
of Trade tomorrow will say:
Favorable trade re porta still predominate
and there Is no anxiety regarding the future.
Superlatives are needed in commenting on
real estate transactlone, building permits, bank
exchanges and railway earnings, and statis
tics for the third quarter show a very low
commercial death rate. Quarterly records
back to 1S75 disclose no three months period
when the ratio of liabilities to solvent pay
ments through the clearing-house was lower
than Just recorded, while the average loss to
each firm In business was less In any year
except 1S61.
Latest reports of railway earnings In Sep

Collections for the country as a whole are
good. Money Is still moving to the country,

purposes, higher quotations at home and
abroad seema certain.
Something like a downward swing in prices

crops of fine quality, which augurs' for lower
prices of feedstuffs. Meat products are becom
ing cheaper.

BANKER SCHIFFER IS LOST
Partner in "Wrecked Alamosa Bank
Disappears Suddenly.
NEW YORK. Oct. 6. Through police
headquarters a country-wide alarm has
been sent out for Abraham Schlfter. a.
part owner of the Alamosa Bank, of Ala
mosa, Colo., which closed Its doors a few
days ago, after '230.000 of Its funds were
reported missing.
Mr. Schiller left New York last Thurs
day, ostensibly for Alamosa, and has not
been heard from since. He did not" reach
his destination, and telegraph messages
to various mparts of the country having
failed to reach him, his brother, Herman,
fearing that ho had met with violence,
yesterday csked the police to aid in find
ing him.
Isaac Schiffer. another brother, was
Abraham's partner in the "Western bank.
Accordirfg to a statement made at their
office yesterday, they were interested to
the extent of $33,000 each. Their first
knowledge of trouble in the bank's affairs
came to them last week, when it was re
ported that $70,000 had been lost in some
unknown manner. They at once prepared
to go to Alamosa, Isaac starting first.' He
is there now. Abraham was unable to go
until last Thursday.
About a year ago Mr. Schiffer was shot
while in charge of the bank at Alamosa,
and his brother thinks he may have been
again assaulted.
In speaking of the management of the
Alamosa Bank. Herman Schiffer said yes
terday he knew nothing of any specula
tion in mining stock or mines, which is re
ported to have caused the collapse of the
bank. He said that, so far as he knew,
his brothers were not Interested In any
such deals. He said he was unable to ex
press any opinion on the cause of the fall
lire because he was without news, except
the public printing.

Xo Clow to Black Hand Gang:.
NEW TORK. Oct. The abandonment
of Tony Marendlno by the persons who
had kidnaped and held him for ransom
and the return of the little Italian boy to
his parents, which occurred last night,
has given tho police no clew to the kid
napers. So Impressed with fear pt the
persons who had stolen him was the lit
tle fellow that he either could or would
give no other description of his captors
than a mass of contusing contradictions,
out of which the police could extract
nothing that would point, to the identity
of his captors. He had even bfcn "so
schooled by them that he called them
'papa" and "mamma," but said, upon
closer questioning that they .were not his
real parents.
