Plenty of Declduons Fruits To day Early Celery Reaches the Market From Salem. FRUIT First Orego cantaloupes arrive. Plentiful supply of decidu ous .fruits today. VEGETABLES Early celery from Eel cm. BUTTER Receipt decreasing but market weak. EGGS Local trade dragging. POULTRY Not enough chicken recefted. GROCERIES Condition of Southern rice market. HOPS Railroads grant reduction la rate to East, The first Oregon cantaloupes of the season reached Front street yesterday. They were grown by A. J. Anderson, of The Efelles, and ere equal In size to the fruit brought - from California. They sold for $3.25 a crate. From now on receipts of Oregon cantaloupes will Increase rapidly. A car of San Joaquin Val ley cantaloupes was reported! on the tracks yesterday afternoon, which will be hauled this morning. A car from Exeter Is also due today. Two cars of watermelons arrived dur ing the day, and one or two more will be in this morning. The demand for watermel ons Is particularly strong, and) as supplies re Increased gradually prices are well main tained. It will be a month yet before Ore gon watermelons make their appearance. Two cars of fresh deciduous fruits from California will be on sale this morning. The shipment will Include Crawford peaches, plums, apples and pears. A car of lemon was distributed along the street, but It proved -wholly inadequate to supply orders on band. A number of cars are on the way, but there Is no danger of the present market being overstocked. A feature of the vegetable market was the receipt of the first Oregon celery this season. It came from Salem and was large and of fancy quality. Tha price quoted was 85 cents to $1 a dozen. Open-air grown cucumbers re reaching the street more freely, and are taking the place of the hothouse article. The supply of Oregon tomatoes Is also Increasing. LOWER RATE ON HOPS. Railroad Companies Reduce the Charge on Carload Lots One-Half Cent. The transcontinental railroads have grant ed the request for a reduction in the tariff on bops from the Pacific Coast to New York, and on and after August 25 the rate In car load lots will be m cents a pound. The lees th an -carload rate will remain at 2 cents. The agitation for a reduction was started by the E. C. Horst Company, who asked for a 1 cent rate. . , Several deals were pending In the hop mar ket yesterday, but no further business at 13 cents was reported since the Independence transaction detailed In this paper yesterday. A number of contracts is) 12 and 12 cents were made by Portland and Salem firms, and offers of 14 and 15 cents on options were till reported from Valley point a The mar ket is certainly being well boosted by some members of the trade. The New York Hop Reporting Company has Issued a statement of the beer output of the country as follows: Barrels. XJ. S. Beer output for 11 months of fiscal year ending June 30, 1905. .43.8R3.8S4 U.

Price Hold Strong; With Southern Mills Shut Down Drouth Affects Crop. Regarding the Southern rice situation, the latest report of Talmage, the authority on that commodity, says: "Advices from the South note steady de mand on the Atlantic Coast. At New Or leans the market Is very strong. AH city mills shut down, and demand Is being par tially supplied from stocks In dealers' hands. Under these conditions prices have advanced quite an item. ( In th Interior1 Southwest Louisiana and Texas the principal item of Interest Is the growing crop. While the rains of past three weeks have done an immense mount of good to the crop in general, there re districts which are still suffering from Jack of moisture. Cables and correspondence from abroad note dull conditions on cargoes and pot cleaned; with much stronger feeling on forward cleaned. The Louisiana crop movement to date Is as follows: Receipts, rough, 1.591.186 sacks; last year, 2,246,101 sacks; sales, cleaned (estimated), 1,634,830 pockets; last year, 1,830.406 pockets." BUTTER RECEIPTS DECREASING. But More Than Enough on Hand to Supply the Demand. Receipts of butter are decreasing os Front street and the. city . creameries .are. also re ceiving a somewhat shorter supply of cream, yet the falling oft Is not sufficient to bene fit the market. Prices hold barely steady and there must be a considerable reduction In the supply before prices can show any Improve ment. A marked decrease in receipts of country store butter is noted. The egg market is still weak and sluggish, snd will probably continue so as !ong as the present warm spell lasts, which not only checks the demand, but is also responsible for the poor condition of receipts. The poultry market opened with a brisk de mand for young and old chickens, the supply of which was far from being sufficient. A few ducks came in and were hard to move. TAKING OPTIONS ON HOPS. Fifteen Cents for ia Independence Crop. Growers Very Firm. INDEPENDENCE, Or., July 24. (Special.) K M. Young, representing Kiaber, Wolf & Netter, has taken an opUon on Fred Hoop er's hop crop at 15 cents, and that to the figure talked In Independence now. J." e. Hubbard, for Charles Lrvesley, la offering 14 cents. Growers show little disposition to contract at the present time, however, and but little Is doing In the hop market. The crop Is looking; well, but the protracted dry. hot weather will cut down the estimates of a month ago on the yield. PORTLAND QUOTATIONS. Grain, Floor. Feed, Etc.

Bullish Factors Are Crop Damage Reports From North Dakota and Manitoba. CHICAGO, July 24. Th, wheat market to day opened steady, chiefly because of the un certainty regarding future shipment. 1 from Russia and llgrht offerings. After prices had advanced about c, reports were received from North Dakota declaring that the crop In the northern part of that state -would be 80 per cent less than last year. Other re ports were less pe&sixniitle, but declared that the crop undoubtedly had suffered damage. It was also declared that rust in considerable Quantities had- made its appearanc in Mani toba. A letter from an Englelh statistician declared that importing countries would buy at least 200.000,000 bushels of wheat this Fall from the United States, i Against these bull ish advices which held the market very stiffly, were the large local receipts which exerted a strong influence in checking tbe upward movement. The close however, was firm. Sep tember opened at T6C sold between 76V4C and TIc, and closed at 76igtf7c. which was 4c higher than yesterday. Dry weather reports from Illinois, Indiana and Missouri caused active covering by shorts and resulted in a Arm corn market throughout the session. September opened at 60330c, 801(1 between 60V, and MVec and closed firm and a higher at olc The oats market ruled Arm, partly in sym pathy with corn and partly because of small receipts and some reports of damage to the crop. September opened at 82c sold between 32c and 33ViS3c, and closed firm and (Se higher at 333c. The provisions market was dull but firm. Xard and ribs closed higher and pork was steady and unchanged. Hogs were in small supply and 5c higher. At the close Septem ber pork was unchanged at $17.32H. lard and ribs were each 23c higher, at $.9TV and 9.27V49.30. respectively. WHEAT. Open. High. Low.

REACTION IN STOCKS New York Cut Off From Iiondon's Gold Supply by Abrupt Change in Foreign Exchange Mar ket Call Loans Easy. NEW YORK. July 24. Th operating: forces In tha stock market whloh bad embarked In a movement for an advance in prices of stocks apparently reconsidered their immedi ate plans today and1 desisted rather abruptly from ther activities. It did not develop to day what was the motive for the change in market tactics, hut it was the genera, suppo sition that a revision of previous estimates of the importance upon the world's financial out look of the Russiaa situation lay at the root of the matter. It did not appear immediate ly that the tone of the market, bad under gone an alteration, although the opening dealings showed the same response to the foreign disturbances as yesterday. Then fol lowed a vigorous recovery In response to sup porting' orders. It was then that an outpour ing of stocks to realize gave the signal that accumulation and support were no longer to be in order. The temporary upward spurt was attributed to the initiative of traders who aimed to fol low the leadership pointed out toy yesterday's action of the market. The day's principal aotlvlty was exhausted by the end of the first hour, and there was a marked shrink age afterwards and a growing apathy In spec ulative interest. The abrupt change wrought In the foreign exchange market by the Rus sian developments and the cutting oft of New York from the large incoming gold1 arrivals in London was pointed to as a striking ex ample of the indirect effects here to be ap prehended from disturbed- foreign markets. With foreign, markets under pressure, any attempt to advance prices In New York would bave the effect of inviting realizing sales on securities marketable here to afford means of protection of lees favoraibly placed holdings abroad. Hitherto the argument has been advanced that the growing weakness of Russian securities would serve to divert French Investments from them Into other fields, thus promising . well . for applications to French capital to share in American bond issues. But it was realized that the immedi ate effect of the disturbed financial condi tions abroad is unpropltious for any new commitments. The New York money market was tin changed today, and call loans remained' easy in spite of probable preparations for tomor row's sale of 12, 500,000 of New York City bonds. The announcement of the ' extent to which Government funds, are being deposited in banks in connection with the Panama Canal bond issue, the amount reaching $35, 000,000, was a reassuring factor on the money situation. Reports of a $5,000,000 note issue by the American Telephone Company in anticipation of subscriptions to its bond issue was regarded as evidence of the continued heavy requirements of corporations for new capita! . Interest was shown in the report of the selling of a stock exchange seat at $T8,000, as against the preceding price of $81, 000, and a high record price above $00,000. The drop of prices was due as much to with drawal of demand as to any selling pressure, and there was some recovery from the bot tom prices, but the closing was "heavy. Bonds were heavy.

Durst Points Out the Bangers That Threaten the Producers In This Country Crop Con ditions in England. XsONTON, July 11. (To tfce Editor.) We have numerous letter from Oregon hopgrow era asking about markets aott conditions of the English hop crop. It would require a secretary to answer each letter aa fully as it deserved and, as I would like to, eo that I am asking you for the courtesy of your columns for this open letter to the Oregon hopg rowers, with the hope that each grower who has written to me or to Mr. Hoffman will kindly take- this as an answer to his personal letter, for which we are extremely thankful. Crop Outlook. 1 The crop outlook here is rather perplexing There has been, and Is yet, a very serious Visitation of aphis. Many growers have washed five to six times, and they will con tinue washing until the vermin Is exterminat ed. But if the vermin "sticks" until the hops begin to form, the wash cannot reach them, as they will go Into the burr, and the "strings will turn black," as one grower said to me. - Some say the lice will run their course in due time. This Is on the theory that between the fly (the winged louse) and the last gen eration there are only a set number of gen erations some say ,five, soma say more. I think It depends largely on th season. This, If it were true, would be some comfort to the growers" here, providing no fresh "fiy1 came. But here is the rub. I was In Kent in quite a number of hop gardens last Sun day, July 8. and in every one there were plenty of fresh fly to be seen. Most growers are washing as hard a they can, and it looks to me as if they "must exterminate the pests in the end; but the Question is if the continuous spraying will not of itself seri ously weaken the plant. Soma say it does. One thing Is sure. Where hops have not been sprayed frequently ihe crop will be hard ly worth picking. I am unable to say what proportion of the growers spray, but I should say above 80 per cent. Hop spraying costs, as nearly as I can find out, quite 20s ($4.80) per acre for each time of spraying. So that if the grower must spray eight times it means about $40 per acre for spraying, or, on a basis of 13 1-3 cwt per acre yield, it works out 12 shillings per cwt. on the crop alone for spraying. The fertilisers easily cost 15 shillings more per cwt., and It costs, 'I am told, not less than 30 shillings per cwt. to pick, harvest and lay down In London. Here are 67 shin Inge per cwt., aside from growing the crop. These other expenses of growing would not be less, than 30 shillings per cwt. So that one can easily reckon the cost of the 1906 hop crop, on a basis of about 16 cwt. per acre, at quite SO shillings per cwt. to the English grower; and. If this blight continues, it may run up to 100 shillings per cwt. The outlook, as far aa I can- Judge, la for a small average ' crop. Factors say 300,000 to 400.000 cwt. Merchants put it at 400, 000 to -00.000. and from what I have seen I think there is a fair ohanco of the crop equalling the expectation of the merchants. But it must not be forgotten that August Is the critical month, and it is quite in the range of probability that the crop may be cut down to considerably less than even 800, 000 cwt. With a crop of 500,000 cwt. I should say prices for English would not rule over 60 shillings. This would mean a serious loss on the cost of the crop. Growers who secured a large yield might come out even; but the majority of 'growers would make a heavy loss. I am told that if the price is less than 60 shillings there will be from 5000 to 10,000 acres "grubbed," and this seems quite prob able to me. Coast Growers!Opportunlty. This, then, is our opportunity. We want the EngllBh hop trade. If it costs them 80 shillings, and- we can lay them down here for 60 shillings, wo can eventually have a trade here of 200,000 to 300,000 bales per annum. Instead of 45.000 to 80.000 bales, as now. Even now, with the good crop prospects, there will be a demand In this country for 60.000 to 85.000 bales of our Coast hope. I am ready to say that. But- want also to say that, unless there Is a very small hop crop is England this season, the demand for Pacific Coast hops will not come on here un til In December, at the earliest. This state ment can be depended on. The English brewers are carrying 18 months' supply. They prefer to use Coast hops as yearlings. Why should they hurry to. buy the Pacific Coast hops early and pay stor age. Insurance and interest for six months before they want the hops? I would not do It, nor would any one else. So here Is the condition facing the Pacific Coast growers: First We will have a sur plus over home demands of 100,000 bales to 125,000 bales. So the dealers are advising every one on this side. Second England won't want a bale of these hops until January, 1807, and after. Third This surplus must be cared for by the growers, or it must be left as an Incubus on our home market. If these 100,000 bales surplus are not taken In hand by some co-operative movement among the growers and grower-dealers, it will drag October and November prices down to a ruinous figure. Lost season was bad enough, but 1906 prices will be worse unless some thing is done and done effectually and quick ly. Prices may easily run down to 4 or 5 cents per pound, because when every one wants to sell and no one wants to buy, ex cept on speculation, growers must take any thing they can get and be glad they are left their whole skins and their debts, perhaps. A stage of the hop-growing business is coming when the industry Is either to be ruined or saved, according to the way those most interested act. The grower-dealers of the Pacific Coast are the ones most inter ested. We have many very shrewd and bright tousienss men among our hop growers and dealers. -The preservation of the hop growing Industry depends largely on what they will do. What Co-Operation Will Do. It seems to roe each of these grower-dealers will profit more by considering and act ing for the best Interests of the hopgrowing Industry as a whole, than by simply, work ing on the old-time principle of "each for himself and the Devil take the hindmost." Every dealer-grower will profit more by helping to upbuild the industry than by mere ly standing around to help pick the bones of the hopgrowers, who will be forced to the wall by the knockout prices likely to rule. If some co-operative effort is not made to pre - vent our 1906 surplus from acting as an in cubus to smother prices for all of our 1906 crop. The growers and grower-dealers of our three Pacific Coast States should give this matter their Immediate and serious atten tion. Selfish motives should; for the time being, be laid aside for the public good. There are too many hops grown in the world. Some one must go out of the business. Will it be Pacific Coast growers or foreign grow ers? Wlth a proper co-operative effort among all who are. interested on the Pacific Coast, I have no hesitation in saying that we can drive one-third to one-half of the English and Continental acreage out of hop produc tion. That would mean we could export 300,000 to 400.000 bales of hops annually. It would onean that the Pacific Coast could grow the bulk of these hops. If we had 230,000 bales to grow for home protfuctloa and 200.000 to 400,000 bales to grow for export there would be no surplus. We would have established an industry, mainly lc Oregon, that would bring millions annually to be divided among the laborers, mainly women and children, of the Pacific Coast. Is not this an object worth our while working for? If we do not succeed in this our profitable hopgrowlng Is at an end, per haps for a long series of years. Total fail ures, even In England or New Tork State are becoming less likely each year. I wish to ask every hopgrower of the Pa clflo Coast to give this matter hts serious consideration. It must be settled before the last week In August. Consignment Delayed. Unfortunately, owing to delay In receiv ing some of our hops here, which will not arrive until July 20, I will not be able to return before the first week in August. when I do reach the Coast I will be ready to co-operate with any and every one who is prepared to join In an honest effort to do something to keep the expected surplus from swamping the horns demand we have a right to expect.
