Frank Woolsey. agent for Ralli Bros., re
ceived a cablegram yesterday giving" the In
dian government's first forecast this season
of the Jute crop, which. If present conditions
are borne out, will break all records. The
government makca two estimates each year,
which In the past have been found to cor
respond closely with the actual outturn. The
acreage this year Is placed at 3,275,000, and
the production at 8,850,000 bales. The con
dition is given at 90 per cent, which is very
satisfactory.
The Jute acreage and production, according
to the British Government's figures, in the
past six years was as follows:
Acres. Balea
1900 8,145,000 8,200.000
1904 2,860,000 7,400.000
fl08 . 2,250,000 7,150,000
1902 2.200,000 6,500.000
1901 2.244,000 7,300,000
3900 2,433.400 6,450,000
What effect this big crop will have upon
prices remains to be seen, but from the ex
periences of the past oeason it does not look
as If values can be lowered materially. The
production In 1906 wot 8,200.000 bales, ths
largest on record, yet the average export price
at Calcutta was 25 per cent higher than in
the previous year. This goes to show that al
though the production of jute Is growing, the
demand is Increasing even faster than the pro
duction. Tho crop as above estimated will be
harvested In the next few weeks and deliv
eries will be made on this coast In (he com
ing Spring.
The local bag market holds firm around the
lO-cent mark. Buying for the season is about
over, though there are still some farmers who
have held off waiting to see If there would be
a break In prices.
NEW CROP WHEAT PRICES.
Puget Syind Buyers Paying Same as for
Spot Grain.
A LIVERPOOL, cable received by a wheat
exporter yesterday quoted the English market
"very firm and Russian crop conditions de
plorable." The local wheat market was quiet
and unchanged. There has been some buying
of :icw crop club wheat by Puget Sound In
terests at 71 cents, the same price as quoted
on .spot wheat, which would Indicate that no
decline in new wheat prices Is looked for. In
fact some dealers express the opinion that the
bottom of the market has been reached andi
any change from now on will be In the na
ture of an advance. Fragmentary crop re
ports received from East of the mountains In
dicate considerable damage in some sectiona
by hot winds. One exporter' stated It as hls
belief yesterday that the damage to the crop
as a whole would amount to 25 per cent.

chants' exchange show the American visible

MELONS AND CANTS ARRIVE.
Deciduous Fruit Held Buck by Wreck Down
the Road.
Two cam of watermelons arrived yesterday
Two cars of watermelons arrived yesterday
and two cars of cantaloupes were unloaded.
The latter were not all In good condition. A
car of bananas was also received that was too
ripe. 0?her heavy arrivals were a car each
of lemons. oranges. and potatoes and
anions. The wreck on the Southern Pacific has
tied up a lot of produce. In two cara
of green fruit, one car of lemons, one of
cantaloupes and two of onions. Peaches were
In only moderate supply yesterday, and were
D.eM Arm. Some fancy Crawfords from Win
ters brought SI. 10 a box. A San Francisco
wire etates that fruit Is scarce in California,
as plums are giving out and it Is between
times In peaches.
Potato shippers are without definite Informa
tion yet on which to base forecasts of the
coming season. It is known the Oregon crop
will be large, but what effect the unusual
weather has had on Quality Is uncertain. Some
damage has been dons to the California crop
by floods.
Ears Move Better.
The cooler weather stimulate,! the local de
mand for eggs somewhat and with, better
shipping orders the market had a steadier
tone.
There were no receipts of poultry during the
day.
The butter market was without fresh feat

Ths export flour market is atlll aulet. A lit-
A business Is being done with South and
central American ports and soma flour la go
ing to Hong Kong, but the expected buying
by the Japanese in anticipation of the In
crease in duty on October 1 has not yet ma
terialized. If ths Japanese expect to stock
up before that date the hip meats will have
to be made not later Chan the coming
month, but up to the present time they have
given no Indication of liberal buying. It Is
surmised that the Orientals arc figuring on
securing cheaper flour when the new crop
comes in that will offset the higher tarilT, but
they may get left in this deal.

ENGLISH HOP CROP SMALL
DURST CABLES MOULD AND VER
MIN ARE CAUSING DAMAGE.
Xield Is Estimated by Local Dealer
at Only Half of Last
Year's.
Henry L. Bents, of Aurora, yesterday re
ceived) the following cablegram from M. II.
Durst, who is now in London:
"Prospects much better than at this time
last week. Mould and vermine causing much
damage. English hop crop will be small."
Even the most sanguine bears in the hop
trade have about given up hope of the Eng
lish crop helping them out this year. A prom
inent dealer stated yesterday that according
to his advices the English crop would only
be half what it was last year. In 1905, ac
cording to the English government's figures,
the crop was 695,043 cwt. An average crop
in England is about 500,000 cwt.
The Maidstone Southeastern Gazette, of June
26, said of crop conditions in that country:
The bine has made good progress as a re
sult of the warm weather of the past week.
The insect trouble, however. Is Mill very se
vere, and growers find repeated washings of
little avail, as fresh fly arrive daily in large
quantities. The thunderstorm of Saturday
night Is expected to improve the condition of
the plant, but a large crop cannot be looked
for.
A dally contemporary, speaking the other
day on the prevalence of vermin among hops,
fruit and crops generally, remarked that "we
are on the verge of an insect peat unprece
dented for many years." So far as the hops
are concerned, the attack of aphis is already
more severe than It has been for a number of
seasons, and growers are hoping that they .are
no "on the verge" of the pest, but have
passed through the worst part of It. The
quantity of aphides, however, have at present
shown no signs of diminution In any of the
districts, notwithstanding the fact that In
many cases gardens have been thoroughly
washed three times. Immediately After each
wash the leaves have apparently been clean of
their unwelcome guests, but in a comparatively
short period they have once more been cov
ered as quickly as ever, and it has been al
most impossible to recognize that the work
has been carried out.

NOT MUCH ACTIVITY
Stocks Recover Partly From
Selling Attack.
BUYING MORE SUBSTANTIAL
Easier Feeling Over Money Situation
Caused by Purchase of Gold in
London Amalgamated Cop
per Helped Along.
NEW YORK, JuJy 16. Ths relaxation In
the pressure to sell stocks, which had been in
evidence at declines for several days, was
not altered materially today by the advance
in prices. A material change in the tone of
the market was the consequence. Hitherto,
the sentiment of the speculation has contend
ed in vain against the steady and determined
pressure to sell stocks whenever prices turned
upwards and on every occurence which could
be interpreted in a way favorable to values.
Uncovered bears showed more uneasiness to
day than at any time since the decline, as a
result of the light offerings of stocks which
appeared in the market. Their buying was not
on a very heavy scale, as is testified by the
moderate aggregate of the day's sales, but
they were obliged to raise bids consecutively
to fill up their needs and a rather wide and
comprehensive rise in prices followed. Opin
ion was general that the demand was still
largely confined to the short interest, and It
was not considered probable that their de
mand would spring up at the sharp recovery
after having been so backward at all reces
sions. The belief has become prevalent, how
ever, that buying of a substantial character
has been in effect for several days.
The principal event of the day was the pur
chase in the open market in London of
$2,000,000 in gold for shipment to New York.
The demonstration of the ability to draw gold
without the facility of Government deposits
caused an easier feeling over the money sit
uation. The pries for the gold, however, was
at an advance of a tull penny over the mar
ket price. Sterling exchange at Paris also
fell back. The call money market here was
easy in spite of some large requlrepaents fall
ing due on the 15th, and the 40 per cent in
stallment payable on Baltimore & Ohio stock
subscriptions. Saturday's strong bank state
ment had some belated influence in helping
stocks. Something was made also of the
coming return of J. P. Morgan to New York,
which occasioned a revival of the rumor of the
Greet Northern ore lands deal wrth the United
States Steel Corporation.
Hopes are entertained that the manner in
which tho Panama Canal bond flotation is be
ing managed may yield some help to the
money market by the shifting about of Gov
ernment deposit. A strong market for cop
per in London -was a favorable factor for
Amalgamated Copper. The rise in the minor
Vanaerbilts was based on the organised agita
tion for an increase in the dividend distribu
tion on Michigan Central. The demand be
came very dull late in the day, so that there
were fractional recessions and a slightly
heavy closing, but active selling pressure was
not renewed and substantial net gains re
mained as a result of the day's business.
Bonds were irregular. Total sales, par val
ue, $1. 726,000. United States new 4s ad
vanced 54, the 3e and old c and the 2s
per cent on call.

BURTON ENTERS HIS PLEA
Supreme Court Afiked For New Trial
on Alleged Errors.
WASHINGTON, July 16. The petition
of ex-United States Senator Burton
for a rehearing by the Supreme Court of
the United States in the case against
him was today received by the clerk of
that court. The petition is signed by all
of Mr. Burton's counsel. They contend
that the court snouia have sustained the
contention that section 1782, the statute
under which Burton was prosecuted, was
unconstitutional and void, and it is urged
that the opinion of the court snows that
many important considerations bearing
on that statute were overlooked.
It is also urged that there was no proof
to sustain the charge of the indictment
that Burton rendered services to the
Rialto Grain Company in the proceedings
of the United States against it; that the
offense, if any, was committed only once,
and not continuously every month during
the term of Burton's employment as
counsel by the company; that the letters
of complaint sent to the Postoffice De
partment should not have been read to
the jury and that much testimony was
admitted that should have been excluded
and much excluded that should have been
read.

WHEAT GOES HIGHER
Chicago Market Closes With
Gain of Three-Fourths Cent, i
PRIMARY RECEIPTS LARGE
But This Factor Is Offset by Advices
of Unfavorable Weather for Har

Decreased Exports.
CHICAGO. July 16. Notwithstanding
enormous receipts at primary points in this
country, the wheat market was interesting all
day because of advices from Russia which
told of, continued unfavorable weather for har
vesting and the decrease of exports. Weekly
statistics were favorable to the bulls, the
amount of breadstuffs on ocean passage show
ing a decrease of 3,176,000 bushels and the
world's shipments being only 6,066,000 bush
els for the week, against 9.920.000 bushels last
week. September opened c to Tslc
