The definite news from London of Increas
ing damage to the English hop crop has
caused a flurry In the hop market here. Con
tracts have advanced a full cent to 12 cents
and are strong at that. Business In futures at
this price was reported from various parts of
the Valley yesterday. Nothing higher than
12 cents was announced during the day, but
the opinion WM freely expressed that the
market would advance.
Among the buyers at 12 cents was Krebs
Bros., of Salem, who contracted for 50.000
pounds. L. Lachmund & Co., of Salem,
bought the Major and Jacobsen crops In An
keny Bottom at that price, and the Salem
agent of Klaber was also reported to have
paid 12 cents, hut this was not confirmed at
Klaber's local office. Buyers around Wood
burn have been offering this price and word
was received from McMinnvllle that 12 cenUi
was also paid there.
There Is no doubt now that the English crop
is In a bad way. Vermin, according to all
reports, are multiplying, and repeated spray
ing docs not check the evil. Various esti
mates are made of the size of the coming
English crop, ranging from 500,000 cwt. down
ward. What Is of equal .Importance from a
market standpoint Is tho'newe received from
Germany that the Continental crop will also
be less than first estimated. Vermin and!
cold weather have caused the damage there.
The New York crop, according to most of
the tn formation at hand, w 111 be less than,
last year's. On the Pacific Coast, everything
Is favorable, fortunately, for the growers. In
the present state of affairs elsewhere. It Is
probable that the three Coast states will not
raise as much as some sanguine hopmen pre
dicted a short time ago, yet bumper crops are
looked for. The Oregon yards will likely pro
duce more hops than can be cared for an,d
for this reason many dealers are making their
estimates on the picking capacity rather than
the capacity of the yards.
The statistical crop rftuatlon Is viewed by
some of the local traders as follows. The
figures are not given as accurate, but are as
close as can be estimated at this time:
Bales.
Oregon . 125.000
Washington 55.000
California - 80.000
New York - 40,000
Total crop 300,000
American consumption 225,000
Surplus 75.000
The question of consumption in this coun
try is the subject of dispute among hopmen,
but as some of the most pronounced bears
placed It last year at 200,000 bales and the in
crease in beer production In the meantime Is
well known. It would seem as If 225,000 bales
for the coming year Is not an extravagant
figure.
The surplus, according to the above reason
ing, Is not alarming when the foreign situa
tion Is considered. England last year, with
one of the largest crops on record. Imported
about 45, 000 bales of American hops. The
same quantity of foreign hops was brought
into this country, which balanced things, so
far as the American market was concerned.
Two years ago, when England's crop was al
most a failure, she bought nearly SO. 000 bales
of American hops. At that time, however,
Germany had a fairly large crop nnd sup
plied the bulk of England's requirements.
Thifl year the crops of both England and
Germany are Buffering and that's what makes
the bulls happy.
LEMON SI PPLY GIVES OUT.
Delay In Trains Causes Famine In Local
Market.
The delayed trains yesterday caused a fam
ine of lemons In the market and stocks were
pra.-tlc'ally exhausted. Conditions were re
lieved somewhat late In the afternoon on the
arrival of the San Francisco steamer, which
brought up a small supply. There should be
plenty of lemons on hand today, as fouror
five cars were due last night. Two cars of
mixed fruit, peaches, plums, apples and pears,
reached the market yesterday and sold well.
Local peaches, peach plums and apples are
coming In from The Dalles and M osier. A
straight car of apricots Is due from Wenatchee
today. Blackberries have begun arriving from
Dlliard. Logan berries have become scarce.
Another car of cantaloupes Is due today.
Cabbage has become scarce on Front street,
as local gardeners stock !s nearly exhausted.
A car of California cabbage Is on the way
and will be here In a day or two. Bell pep
pers are In better supply and are lower. A
quantity of celery arrived on the San Fran
cisco steamer. Two cars of California on
ions will be In on hand this morning.
Most of the Jobbers and commission men
will give a part of their employes a day off
today in order to attend the grocers' picnic.
The press of shipping business prevents the
rnolesale houses from closing.

Poultry in Better Demand.
A better demand for poultry was reported
yesterday, buyers asking for old chickens as
well as young ones.
The egg market held steady with a fair
movement.
Butter was unchanged In price. Some of
the city creameries quoted the market easier,
but others were satisfied with the demand.
Clark County Prune Crop
A Portland man who visited the prune dis
tricts of Clark County, Washington, yester
day, stated that everywhere the growers were
CON
busy building new drying bouses or additions
to the old ones. Unskilled laborers were be
ing given work at $2.60 a day and board. The
orchards never looked better than they do now,
and even If there should be no more rain,
the crop will be a phenomenal one. The only
damage that could come now would be from
rain in the drying season.

WHEAT WEAK AND LOWER AT
CHICAGO.
Decline at Liverpool, Liberal Re
ceipts and Weather Conditions
Are the Causes.
CHICAGO. July 17. The wheat market was
(".ominated by the hearo throughout ths 4ay.
At the opening the ma-ket was influenced by
lower prices at Liverpool "and liberal local re
ceipts. 'Weather conditions in this country
were also favorable to the bears. Many local
traders who bought yesterday were eager to
ecll today. Primary receipts continued un
usually heavy and this canaed additional
weakness iate in the day. despite the fact that
sales' for export were reported from Minneap
olis and New York. The market closed weak
with prices almost at the lowest point. Sep
tember opened )te lower, at 78H87"Hc.
sold off to TT6Tc and closed' Vic lower,
at TTifcc.
Corn held steady on a good demand from
commission houses and cash buyers, despite
the weakness of wheat. The close waa firm.
September opened a shade lower at 51 c.
sold between 51c and 51S11ic. and closed
y,fiUc lower at 51 Vic.
Oats were easier on moderate selling by
cash houses. September opened a shade A8r
y,c lower, at 3434c. sold between 34Vic
and 34Tfcc, and closed unchanged at 34c.
Provisions were quiet and steady. Short
and local packers were fair bidders, but offer
ings were not large. Receipts of live hogs
were light. At the close September pork was
unchanged at $17.30. Lard was on SVio at
9.2VJ. Ribs were 2Vic up. at 9.S7Vi.

Stock Prices Slip Back on
Lack of Demand.
DAY'S TRADING IS SLACK
Publication of the Statistics of the
Country's Foreign Business for
the Fiscal Year Has Little
Effect on the Market.
NEW TORK. July IT. Speculative senti
ment seemed bewildered today by the novelty
of advancing prices of stocks and the main
tenance of the advance with such persistence
as was shown yesterday. There was a marked
lack of speculative initiative manifest as a
consequence in today's dealings and the mar
ket was almost Idle for a large part of the
time, with prices drifting listlessly and with
no well-denned course. The number of shares
dealt In was somewhat in excess of the to
tal of last Tuesday, which made the low rec
ord for the present year, but the character
of the trading otherwise was much the same.
Professional board-room traders openly ex
pressed skepticism of the stability of the
higher level on the ground that covering of
shorts was wholly responsible for the rise
and the reduction of the short interest les
sened the potential support of the market at
every step of the advance. It was only with
the most extreme caution that purchases
were made at the higher level established at
the opening, and these gains were mostly lost
in the subsequent uncertain fluctuations.
Amalgamated Copper and Southern Pacific
were responsive to gossip of intended In
crease of dividends. A coming meeting of St.
Paul directors gave occasion for repetition of
many versions of the supposed plan to finance
the Pacific Coast extension, and the Hill
stocks once more moved on account of the
ore lands deal.
There was some confusion as to the present
situation In the gold Import movement, due
in part to contradictory reports of the actual
amount secured yesterday. Cabled reports
from London pointed to $2,000,000 or up
wards, but confirmation could be had or only
$1,500,000 from New York bankers.
Call money was very easy, but rates for
time loans were fully sustained. Foreign ex
change continued to decline In spite of the
gold engagements, and belief was maintained
that a further movement was In Immediate
prospect. The promised success of an offer
ing of Wabash bonds in Paris was a furthering
Influence on this prospect.
The publication of the statistics of the coun
try's foreign trade for the fiscal year was
perused with Interest and gratification for the
wide advances established over all previous
records, the total trade, both exports and Im
ports, rising In value to near f3,000.00w,000.
But this demonstration of the vast expansion
In the country's resources was of little Im
mediate effect on stocks. The dying out of
the demand on the advance allowed prices to
slip back, and except In a handful of the most
active speculative stocks, the day's net
changes were Insignificant and the clothing
tone was dull snd heavy.
Bonds were Irregular. Total sales, par val
ues, 1. 233,000. United States 2s and 3s de
clined i per cent, and the old Is 14 per cent
on call.

BOSTON, July 17. Th Improved conditions
