CHEESE! Prices have upward ten
dency. The Kentish Observer of June 28 printed de
tailed reports from English hop districts,
showing the vine to have made good progress,
tut there was no decrease In the attack of
vermin In spite of all efforts to check it.
With theaw prospects of a short crop, the Eng
lish market has steadily gained strsngth. The
following plantation reports indicate the gen
eral conditions:
Canterbury Under the Influence of tho
warm, sunny weather the bine Is growing1 well
and In most (rounds Is nearlng the tops of
the poles and strings. There Is little or no
Improvement tn the matter of vermin, and
even the grounds thaL have been washed are
not clean.
Chtlham The hops are still Infested with
vermin. As soon as the fly Is killed by per-sU-tent
washing there Is a lot of fresh fly in
less than two days after. Mould has also
made tta appearance.
HemhIII Hops In this neighborhood are
anything 'but satisfactory. Where they were
washed a few days ago and left fairly clean
they are now black and shining with honey
dew and full of fresh fly and lice. Although
the weaxher hat been of late more favorable,
they have made but little progress. The out
look Is bad.
Mad way Valley Aided by the warm
weather, with brilliant sunshine, the bine has
made considerable headway since last week,
and is now about as forward as usual at this
period of the season. There was a storm on
Saturday night and the rain has benefited the
plants, the color of which is all that could be
desired. Vermin are still very troublesome.
Even where washed three times the bine Is
still Infested, and fresh arrivals of fly are
reported ty several growers.
Petham South and Waltham The warm
weather has Induced growth and the plant
looks a better color, but It has also caused the
vermin to Increase enormously, consequently
washing has become general. Mould Is re
ported from all quarters. The look out for
hop growers Is more gloomy than ever.
South Worcester Hops Improved last week
during the warm days and nights, but the
wind during Monday and Tuesday has knocked
thorn about a great deal. They are still In
fested with blight.
Adolph Heller, of Prague, writes to the
Observer under date of June 25 as follows:
The forcing weather of last week was very
beneficial for the hop plant, which In all the
Bohemian and other Austrian hop districts
made a rapid progress tn growth, and now is
in most Instances quite up to the usual for
this time of the season. The attack of fly
blight Is still as severe as before, but tho
effects of this pest were counterchecked by
the fast growth and the occasional warm
rains which cleaned the plant of the honey -dsw.
So far the prospects are much more
cheerful than a week ago. The reports from
those parts of the German plantations where
the plant was vigorous are very similar to
the Bohemian, but where the plant was weak
It suffers very much of the vermin and Is not
likely to produce an average crop. Hop
markets were not so active as the week be
fore, but prices remain very firm.
WATERMELON SEASON OPENS TODAY.
Two Cars Will Be Received From Cali
fornia Cuntaloupes Overdue.
The produce trade Is looking forward to the
arrival of two cars of watermelons today as
the real opening of the melon season. There
Is no doubt that the fruit wttl sell exceedingly
well If it Is in good condition. The price will
probably be 2 or 3 cents a pound. The two
cars of canteloupes that were overdue failed
to put In an appearance. Deciduous fruits of
all kinds sold well. Another lot of muscat
gTBpes arrived from California. Fancy apri
cots were received from Yakima and brought
$1.50 a box. The first. Bartlett pears were re
ceived from San Francisco and were quoted
at $2-25. A part of a car of lemons arrived.
Florin tomatoes made their appearance, but
were too green to put on sale. Some corn
received from The Dalles showed the effect
of the heat.
Eggs Are Slow Sale.
The hot weather continues to have an ad
verse effect on the egg market. Buying has
been checked and as the supply of Eastern
eggs is plentiful, the market for the Oregon
product has a downward tendency.
Spring chickens are in strong demand, but
old chickens are slow sale. Receipts of all
kinds are only fair.
The butter market shows no change. Stocks
on Front street can only be cleaned up by
making concessions. City creamery butter la
steady. Cheese Is strong.
Apple Line of Steamships.
The first steamship service ever operated
exclusively for the exportation of American
apples la now being arranged for by a firm
of fruit Importers of London. The shlpa will
ply between Boston and London and Hull.
Formerly It has bees the custom to ship the
apples on the large freight ships, but the
business has groan so as to support a line of
steamers. The steamships will sail every
fortnight and will have a capacity of 20.000
barrels. The total exports of apples last
tason from all ports waa 2,411.473 barrels.
Inspection of Fruit.
.County Fruit Inspector Dlech, accompa
nied by District Commissioner Reld. made
the rounds of the produce district yesterday
and condemned a quantity of apples unfit
for sale. From now on the Inspector will
keep a close watch on the supplies reaching
the street as well as the fruit offered at the
Italian market. This, with the field work
done by the commissioners, will be of Im
mense benefit to the fruit Industry of the
state. V

Hop Contracting Ceases.
If any hop contracts were written yester
day they were not reported In the local mar
ket. The statement by George Rose seems
to have worked upon the views of growers
So this extent. One prominent buyer con
fessed that he did not expect to get any
more contracts under 11 cents, for the pres
ent at least. No transactions In spot hops
have come to light since the purchases of
Lachmund & Plncus, announced yesterday
morning.

Spring Wheat Yield Said to
Be Record-Breaker.
CHICAGO. July 13. Early In the day the
market was inclined to be bullish, because of
firmness at Liverpool, which was based upon
wet weather In Russia, which is said to be
interfering with the harvest. Several promi
nent traders sold wheat freely, and as sup
port waB lacking the market slumped sharply.
Crop newa from the American Northwest was
extremely favorable to the bears, several re
ports claiming that the Spring wheat crop will
be the largest ever raised. The market was
further weakened by a considerable increase
in prairie receipts. September opened a

MARKET CLOSES FEVERISH
UNCERTAIN STATi OF SPECULA
TIVE SENTIMENT IN STOCKS.
Prices Yield Sharply Under Selling
Pressure and Then Recover
Part of Loss.
NEW YORK. July 13. An extremely un
certain state of speculative sentiment de
veloped In the stock market today affer prices
had yielded sharply under a continuance of
the selling in evidence yesterday and then
recovered with some semblance of strength.
There was no important news development to
account for the decrease in the selling pres
sure. Most of the demand was attributed to
the uncovered professional short Interest. The
extent of the recovery was not sufficient to
force bear accounts to cover. The intense
dullness of the demand which developed on
the recovery did not argue a feeling of great
solicitude on the part of the bears of larger
caliber, whose outstanding account Is now be
lieved to have reached large dimensions.
Some stress was laid on the prospect of a
favorable bank statement tomorrow. Rates
for call loans were in fact easy for a Friday,
which Is accepted as a more reliable Index
of the actual money situation than the bank
statement itself. A resumption today of a
strong demand for loans carrying over the
end of the year was a true index of the
money situation. Lenders are indisposed to
place .money for that length of time and by
keeping funds in hand or In day to day loans
they conduct to the ease of the call loans
market. Banks have made apparently a
small gain in cash on the week, none of the
accepted estimates placing the figure at over
$1,000,000, Rates for foreign exchange were
lower, discounts yielded in London and. sterl
ing exchange rose in Paris, all these move
menu being calculated to facilitate a re
sponse to New York demand for gold.
The market tone was uncertain throughout
and the closing was feverish on small deal
ings. Bonds were irregular. Total sales par
value, $1,178,000. United States 2s advanced
per cent on call.

waa that such pictures "suggest evil." H.
G. Sanders, of Pittsburg, made the only
objection, saying that his interest lay en
tirely in his desire to oppose the sacrifice
of so large a fund of artistic material as

TRAFFIC 15 LARGER
June Railway Earnings 10 Per
Cent Over Last Year's.
STEEL MILLS RESUME
Building Operations Continue Active
Without Apparent Check Scar
city of Labor In Almost
AH Lines.
NSW TORK. July 13. R. G. Dun & Co.'s
Weekly review of trade tomorrow will say:
Railroad earnings in June were' 10.8 per
cent larger than in 1905 and foreign com
merce at this port for the last week shows
an Increase of $1,899,887 in imports and a
loss of $794,622 in exports as compared with
last year's figures.
Temporary ease in call money did not
weaken time loans, which reflect the expecta
tion of heavy shipments of currency to the
interior for . crop moving in the near future.
Many iron furnace and steel mills have re
sumed after a brief season of Idleness for
repairs, inventories and settlement of wage
scales, so that the production Is once more
very heavy.
Failures this week numbered 202 in the
United States against 223 last year and 21 in
Canada, compared with 26 a year ago.
BUILDING CONTINUES.
Indications Point to Early Expansion In
Grain Exports.
NEW YORK. July 13. Bradstreefs sum
mary of the state of trade will say tomorrow:
Building continues active without apparent
check; the iron and steel trades report
shorter than usual Summer shut-downs prob
able and the likelihood of large surplus sup
piles of wheat and com lead to the hope that
export trade will show exparion In a short
time.
Railroad interests themselves have been sur
prised at the immense volume of business
offering which has resulted in a gain In gross
earnings of over 13 per cent for June as
compared with the same month a year ago.
The almost universal complaints of the
scarcity of all kinds of labor are confirmatory

GREEK HERO BARRED OUT
Principal Actor In Drama of Sea
Has Trachoma.
NEW YORK, July 13. Emmanuel Alex-
iadis, a Qreek, and his young Spanish
wife, Adelalda, who were wrecked in a
small schooner off the Cuban coast a
month ago, and subsequently brought to
this port from Havana on the steamer
Ripley, are held at Ellis island, and will
be deported because Emmanuel has
trachoma. The couple were married six
years ago in Galveston. They saved a
small sum and planned to go into busi
ness at Havana, sailing for that port In
a small schooner over a month ago. On
the fourth day out of Galveston a squall
came up and sent the schooner to the
bottom.
Alexladis, who 1 a powerful man, took
his wife in his arms and leaped from the
schooner before she sank. It was dark
when he started with his wife on a two
mile swim to a small island on the west
coast of Cuba. The couple reached land
in safety, but were marooned for two days
before a passing steamer sent out a
boat and brought them to Havana. The
British Consul at Havana helped Alexia
d!s to get passage to New York on the
steamer Ripley. The Greek failed to take
out naturalization papers when in Galves
ton, and as he is afflicted with trachoma
he will be deported to Havana.

RAILROADS PLAN FIGHT
Will Resist Amendments to Inter
state Commerce Law.
CHICAGO, July 13. The amendments to
the interstate commerce law, which were
passed at the recent session of Congress,
are to be discussed by general attorneys
and solicitors of railroads running west of
Chicago at a meeting here Monday. If
it is decided to make a. test case, the line
of battle will be planned and all details
arranged. This conference will be the out
come of several smaller ones which have
been going on at the headquarters of the
several great systems during this week.
The Harrlman conference has been in
progress in the office of General Manager
Stubbs, and at this representatives from
each of the roads have been in attendance.
Similar meetings have been held by tho
attorneys who represent the Rock Island
Frisco interests, the Santa. Fe and the
Hill lines.
The roads do not. propose to surrender
any of their rights to the commission
without a light, and as the law goes into
effect In 60 days it was deemed advisable
to consider the plan of campaign.
Charles E. Miller III.
NEW YORK, July 13. Charles E. Mil
ler, who recently resigned as a trustee
of the Mutual Life Insurance Company,
is seriously sick at his home in South
ampton, L. I. He waa a member of
the old expenditures committee of that
company, which passed the alleged padded
bills paid to Lysander W. Lawrence &
Co. and others. It was explained on their
behalf that they had passed the bills as
a matter of course, as they had the "O.
K." of one of the vice-presidents. This,
however, did not prevent the Mutual Life
from bringing suit against Mr. Miller,
Robert Oliphant and James C. Holden,
the other members of the committee, for
an accounting.
