PROVISIONS Changes In local list.
Conrad Krebs, of Salem, was in the city
ytsterday on his way home from a visit to
the Washington hop fields. He Inspected most
of the yards in the Chehalis, Puyallup and
Taklma districts. The crop, he says, looks
exceedingly well. There la very little vermin
to be sec-n and everything promises a large
yield. His Oregon reports all continued favor
able. The Arm's English cable yesterday said
that conditions In both England and Germany
had grown worse In the last few days owing
to the increase of Uce.
Mr. Krebs stands by his former proposition
to pay the regulation price for picking 91 a
hundred or GO cents a box. He said:
"There is a disposition on the part of some
growers to reduce the price to 80 cents a
hundred, claiming as an excuse that the low
price of hops now does not warrant paying
as much as when the market was high. I do
not see that such a course Is Justifiable. The
laborer Is worthy of his hire, and his time
and labor are Just as valuable when the grower
gsts lo cents as when he gets 30 cents for
his hops. We will, therefore, pay Just as much
for picking this year as we did last."
The Krebs Bros, yards at Independence and
at Brooks will this season produce about 1,000.
000 pounds, or S000 bales of hops. In the
entire State of Oregon. $1,500,000 will be paid
out to hop pickers this year.
The local market Is exceedingly dull. Some
contracting Is being done in the country, but
the demand for futures is not so strong as
It was last week. Prices are unchanged.
Late New York papers contain the following
reports of crop conditions In that state:
Ideal weather for crops of all kinds has
prevailed the past week and hops are arming
very rapidly in all the yards. It Is high time,
for the hop will be In blow early In July.
A careful inspection of the yards of Schoharie
County indicates that the crop will be of
moderate size, as the arms upon which the
hops appear are not very numerous. Parties
who have t raveled t hrough Ostego and other
m-n counties report the same condition aa here,
so that New York State may be set down for
a' crop of average sise only, with indications
of a fine quality, as the vines are healthy and
vigorous. Schoharie Republican.
In a drive through the hop district of the
county there are several good yards to be seen,
while on the other hand there are not a few
old yards that look sickly. Many mlae hills
are to be seen, and some look doubtful whether
the yield from them will pay for the labor
and material used to coax them to be produc
tive. Cooperstown Journal.
Old yards In this vicinity are In bad shape,
fully one-half of the hills having been killed
by the open Winter and no snow. New yards
are looking very good. Coblesklll Times.
Hops look clean and healthy in this locality
and appear to be doing nicely wth all the
Indications pointing to a fair average crop.

Only Half a Crop of Oregon C oncords This
Year.
A man who has been invest (gating grape
crop conditions In Oregon says there will be
only half a crop .f Concords this year. There
was too much rain at blooming time. The
nollen washed off and the fruit did not set.
This was the case at Forest Grove. Milwaukle
and Oak Grove. All early grapes. Wardens,
Delawares. Diamonds and Niagaras, he saa,
will be practically a failure.
The fruit market was fairly well supplied
yesterday morning, but a strong demand al
most cleaned up the street by evening. Peaches
were In especially good demand, selling from
65 cents to $1 according to quality. California
aprioois are aoout uone ror and the few ar
riving are generally poor. Snake River cots
will soon make their appearance. Three cars
of bananas came la in good condition. Ripe
bananas are scares. A car of cantaloupes is
due today. Cariot shipments of Fresno canta
loupes will begin next wwk.
A car of Merced tomatoes arrived in the
forenoon. They offered at fl 25$ 1.50 a box.
Fancy outdoor tomatoes from The Dalles
bring $2 25.
CHEESE MARKET STRONG.
ActUe Buying at Tillamook for Seattle and
San Francisco Account.
The Tillamook cheese market appears ready
to take another spurt upward. Heavy buying
for Seattle and can Francisco has strength
ened the price and it is probahls that 13 cents
will be quoted here before the week is over.
A San Francisco buyer bid 11 cents at Tilla
mook yesterday for 1000 pounds.
The week opened without change in the
butter market. Country store butter is ar
riving in better condition than last week.
Eggs were rather slow sale, as the hot
weather has checked consumption. Dealers
complain loudly of the quality of receipts. A
new car of Eastern, said to be good. Is offer
ing and two more cars are on the way.
The feature of the poultry market was the
sharp demand for large Spring chickens. Al
most any kind of fryer will pass muster these
days. Old hens do not move so well.
COACHELLA CANTALOUPES.
California Fruitgrower Pays Its Respects to
a Los Angeles Paper.
The California Fruit Grower, In an article
headed "A Palpable Fake," has the follow
ing to say of a story recently circulated con
cerning Coachella cantaloupes:
An unusually virulent attack of Idiocy re
cently impelled a Los Angeles daily paper
to publish a story to the effect that the
Coachella cantaloupes Dave been rendered
dangerous as food this season on account of
the vines being Infested by aphis. The chances
are that the entire story Is a rank fake and
that there Is no more aphis in the Coachella
Valley than in other years. But even if
there were, common sense would! tell anybody
except the rattle-brained faker who wrote
the story and the Incompetent editor who al
lowed It to appear In the columns of his pa
per that the attacks of aphis on the vines
could have no deleterious effect upon the mel
ons as food. The Idea that their presence
renders the cantaloupes poisonous is the
rankest nonsense. The apology for a news
paper man who wrote that story ought to be
shut up In a barrel where he could do no
harm and be fed through the bunghole until
he attains years of discretion.
Changes in Provisions.
A new pricellst of provisions was Issued to
the trade yesterday. Hams are advanced 4
to H cent and boneless bams are 1 cent higher.

MONEY MARKET RESOURCES
Husbanding of Funds Needed for
Coming Period of Crop Moving.
May Be Difficult to Get
Gold From England.
NEW YORK. July 9. The symptoms of
the pressure being off the stock mar
ket which promoted the rallying ten
dency of the latter part of the last week
showed themselves again today to some ex
tent. But this failed to attract any demand
for stocks or to encourage any attempt to
get prices higher. The most notable conse
quence of this state of affairs was the
shrinkage in the volume of speculation, the
day's aggregate transactions falling to a
smaller figure than for many weeks past.
Immediate developments played but a small
part in the action of the market, but the
general outlook for the future was kept In
consideration, especially on tihe side of the
money market. Conservative action in specu
lative matters was felt to be desirable, and
In fact necessary, to Insure a safe progress
through the coming period of crop moving
and active demand for money incident to It.
Pressure from influential banking sources and
admonition, not through public channels, but
by personal Injunction In many cases, are
believed to be employed to effect this course.
Large banking resources are not available
for speculative attempts to lift prices and
banking opinion is believed to favor an un
fettered price movement.
If prices seek a lower level It is consid
ered desirable not to oppose artificial re
straints, and It is urged that If further
liquidation should be found necessary and it
should dtart suddenly from a level of prices
so high as to offer no attraction for the ab
sorption or offerings, a disastrous outcome
ml-fht follow. The Saturday bank statement,
with the surplus showing reduced to $6,465,
075, had Its continuing effect In chilling
speculative enthusiasm.
Railroad earnings and traffic reports, mer
cantile advices, trade and Industrial activity
and other Indications of undiminished pros
perity gave rise to a repetition of a well
known Wall-street argument advanced! in
times of tight money formulated in the term,
"too much prosperity." The suggested ab
surdity is due, of course, to a fallacy in the
argument. This is found in the assumption
of an exhaustion of supplies of capital In
volved In the active extension of enterprise.
Profitable investment in successful enterprise
means Increase and not depletion fit avail
able capital. The borrowing of capital, tts
expenditure in enterprise that produces wealth
and the lodgment of securities issued in the
process may go on indefinitely without other
effect than the constant increase of wealth
and capital.
But an interruption at any step In the
process closes the whole machinery and pro
duces what Is so strikingly defined by a fore
most capitalist as lndiigestion of securities.
The cause of the closing is doubt of the suc
cess of the outlay in producing wealth ade
quate to meet carrying charges, which makes,
the security unsalable beyond first hands
which employ borrowed money to carry them
and so leave financial affairs dependent on
their liquidation to restore the free current
of their flow and their mobility. Financial
leaders at this time are growing into accord
in favoring a pause in the process of outlay.
Some attention was attracted by English
financial criticism of Wall street's speculative
demands for funds and bankers here expressed
an opinion that a movement of gold from
London would not be forced at this time
from a danger of prejudicing the facilities
for a movement In the Fall when greater
need might exist.
The constant fluctuations of the day In the
stock market reflected the shifting operations
of boom traders. The closing was firm at re
coveries, but not far from last week's levels.
Reiterated reports of the floating of a St.
Paul loan In Paris, which had some sem
blance of authority, helped to the late re
covery. Bonds were steady. Total sales, par value,
Jl.695,000. United States bonds were un
changed on call.

the Kali-Sown Croj Cash
Prices Lower.
CHICAGO, July 9. Prior to the announce
ment of the amount of wheat expected) to ar
rive In Chicago tomorrow the market was
firm on good buying by shorts. The demand
was largely due to the comparatively firm
tone of the Liverpool market, where prices
were steady notwithstanding Saturday's de
cline on the local exchange. When It was
posted that 166 cars were expected here to
morrow, prices declined abruptly and senti
ment was bearish for the remainder of the
day. Weather conditions were ideal both for
the harvesting and marketing of the Fall
sown crop andt for the maturing of the grain
In the Northwest. Lower prices for cash
wheat at Kansas City and St. Louis depressed
the prices of options here. The market closed
weak at about the lowest point of the day.
September opened a shade higher, at 78c,
advanced to 78c, and then declined to 77c.
Final quotations on September were at 77o
a decline of $3ic.
The corn market was firm because of re
ports of deterioration of the new crop on ac
count of lack of moisture. Late In the day
the market eased off temporarily on selling
caused by rain In the Southwest. Offerings,
however, were readily taken by shorts and
commission houses, and the market quickly
recovered- The close was firm. September
opened unchanged at c higher at 51524c,
sold up tfx r-V-i-V-. and closed V- up at
52c.
Oats were firm on an active demand by
shorts and commission houses. Offerings were
light. Small local receipts and the strength
of corn were the chief bullish influences. Sep
tember opened c higher, at 34&34c,
sold up to 34g;C. and closed at .
Provisions were quiet but firm. Small re
ceipts of hogs at the stockyards and higher
prices for packing products at Liverpool were
the strengthening factors. At the close, Sep
tember pork was up 7c, lard: was 2c
higher and ribs were unchanged.
