WHEAT Market quiet but ateaJy.
FRUIT Local receipts heavy.
BUTTER Steady at recent advance.
EGGS Slow and unchanged.
POULT RT Chickens In good demand.
MEATS Veal and pork tell well.
Over 70 per cent of the wool clip of "Ore
gon has paesed out of growers hands, ac
cording to estimates of local dealers. Hold
ers of the ' small quantity remaining are
ready sellers at current prices. In the Val
ley the clip 19 closely cleaned up, so far aa
growers are concerned, but a considerable
quantity remains yet In the country.
The demand for the low grades of Valley
wool Is not brlslt.
The woolmen of this city have taken a de
cided stand on the question of taglocks and
hereafter will not buy them at fleece prices.
An exporter said yesterday:
"In the future the merchants will refuse
to buy any Valley wools unless the tag locks
are cut off and sold separately. We are
tired of paying the same prices for taglocks
that we do for fleeces. In Eastern Oregon
they do things differently and the taglocks
are, as a rule, separated, but in the Valley
the growers have left them in and some of
the buyers have been heavy loaers for that
reason. Therefore, the growers will be no
tified in the coming season that the taglocks
must be baled and sold separately."
A f ter a deadlock lasting several weeks,
wools have begun to move in Montana, The
growers or mat state have receded from their
high position and are accepting offers made
on the basis of the Eastern markets. Some
sales have been made at Great Falls at 21, 22
and 2214 cents, an estimate of the scoured,
landed cost In Boston by people on the spot
being "5 cents. The wools were fine and
fine medium. A comparatively large amount
has been purchased at Glendlve and Billings
at a variety of prices, ranging all the way
from 10U to 24 cents, good average clips sell
ing at 21 to 22 cents and medium at 23 to
24 cents. At 22 cents and 23 cents, at which
prices considerable was bought, the scoured
cost In Boston Is placed at 67 to 68 cents.
Conditions In the Eastern wool markets are
good, from the standpoint of the merchants.
Reviewing the week, the Boston Commercial
Bulletin says:
With business In the woolen Industry excel
lent and consumption of wool heavy, there
was never any very sound reason for the feel
ing that has seemingly prevailed here for
some time. Last year was an exceptional one.
and because there was not the same big rueh
of buyers to cover their wants this year. It
was thought by many in the trade that a lean
period was upon us which might continue
Indefinitely. The fact was temporarily lost
sight of that the mills of the country were
no shut down JiH were actively employed in
making cloth and that the people of the
country were engaged In rapidly consuming it.
It was forgotten that there was nothing on
the trade horizon to indicate the close of the
ra of prosperity. It is admitted that cur
rent traffic in all branches of legitimate trade
Is on sound principles, that supply and de
mand are the controlling factors. It Is be
lieved now by all unbiased minds that the
wool situation is strong and that business
will be good if not lively during the greater
part of the balance of the year. The night
mare of closed mills and the uee of substitutes
for wool by those with the courage to keep
running have passed.
BUTTER STEADY AT ADVANCE.
gg Market Dragging One Chickens Sell
ing WU.
There was no further change In the but
ter market yesterday. All the city creamer
ies are believed to be up on, their top grade.
The market, and on Front street as well.
Is steady at the recent advance.
Eggs were dull and weak yesterday. A lead
ing dealer's opinion , of the market follows:
"The market has been a dragging one for
the past two weeks, and stocks have been
moved with considerable difficulty. A large
quantity of Eastern eggs has been dumped on
this market and bn the Sound, and this has
had a bad effect oa the pries and market for
the local goods, aa the quality of the Eastern
eggs has' been very good and prices quite
low.' " i
Regarding the poultry trade, the weekly
price current of a Front-street Arm says:
'Receipts have been pretty good the past
week, but alt nave been quickly taken and
vr could use many more hens and fancy
Spring than we are getting. Strangely
nough. while a. few days ago the largest in
quiry was for Springs, at present hens are
more sought for. Trices are about as last
week. 13m3He on hens and. 17c on Springs.
Ducks are selling a little better at 13g13c,
.nd gese- are dull at 8$lQc. Turkey are
scarce at ItftfttSUtC. Squab pigeons are firm
sit f3. While there is a disposition on the
part of some to neglect Springs the past
few day we are- quite sure that we will have
none too many of them for some little time.
Of course, the season Is progressing, and It
will not be very long ere prices on Springs
will get closer to the price of hens. Ship
pers must take this Into account.
Good Receipts of Fruit.
The volume of the fruit trade yesterday was
not quite so large as usual, probably owing to
the exceedingly heavy business done the day
before. Shipping orders, however, were good
and stocks were well cleaned up. The heavy
receipts of the day Included four cars of
watermelons; two of cantaloupes-, two of lem-
ons and one of oranges. : Another car of Ne
vada cantaloupes is due ' today. Prices gen
erally were unchanged.
Delayed Groceries Received. "
Wholesale grocers are much pleased with
the resumption of steamship service between
Portland and San Francisco. Freight was de
livered from the Barracouta yesterday that
had been oa the San Francisco dock for about
six weeks, and the Costa Rica which is
booked to leave the Bay City Saturday, will
also bring a lot of merchandise that has
been badly wanted.
Wheat Steady and Quiet.
Business in the wheat market is quiet, both
as regard old and new crop. The under
tone of tha market Is good and the feeling
Is cheerful. Crop developments In the East
have caused fairly steady markets there, and
the European markets are also holding their
wn, the Russian trouble being a steady
ing Influence,
nressed Meat Receipts light.
The market for dressed meats shows some
Improvement, notwithstanding the warm
..h.r. Receipts of veai are very ngnx
and for that reason good fat prime offerings
are aeillng readily t 8 cents. Thers 1 still
a. good demand for light and medium pork
at 860 cents.

JUMP IN HOP MARKET
FIFTEEN CENTS REPORTED
' PAID IN POLK COUNTY.
Three Salem Firms All Are Said to
Have Bought) Heavily at
That Figure.
SALEM, Or., July 26. (Special.) The 15
cent mark has been reached in the hop mar
ket " by the purchase of several Polk County
crops at that figure by Salem dealers. Krebs
Bros, have bought 50.000 pounds at 15 cents
from R-, Williams, of Dallas. Lachmund 8c
Co. have bought 750 hales at the same price,
and Joseph Harrie reports the purchase of
40,000 pounds also at 15 cents.
Word was received from Salem early in
the afternoon that some of the dealers there
had Jumped the market to 15 cents. The re
port was not credited In the local trade. It
was asserted that the time limit of most of
the 15-cent options had expired without ac
tion being taken, and so ar as the Portland
dealers could see Into the market, the situa
tion was unchanged from the day before. Two
13,-cent contract were In evidence, and no
better price for actual business could be
learned. A 2-cent jump, however, was a pos
sibility. If the market was on the advance, for
the stiffness of growers might easily cause
an elimination of the intermediate cent. If
the Sal em it es have climbed to 15 cents, they
must be in possession of some bad crop news
not known to the Portland dealers. Until
they could get actual confirmation of the new
price, the latter were Inclined to discredit the
story. A hop man who came down from the
West Side last evening said he had talked
to some of the growers who were reported
to have cold at 15 cents, and they had not
only not cold their crops, but were consid

Clackamas County Contracts,
, OREGON CITY, Or., July 26. (Special. )
The first contracts covering Hie 1906 hop
crop were filed here today. In both Instances
the contracting firm Is Klaber, Wolf & Net
ter, of Portland. George Pope, of Wood
burn, as trustee, contracts 13.000 pounds at
13 cents, and will receive $600 as an advance
payment September 1. Jens Boe, of Needy,
agrees to deliver to the same firm 6000
pounds at 11 cents and will receive $419 for
harvesting purposes. Growers are not being
very largely tempted by the contracting busi
ness this year, several refusing contract of
fers of 15 cents for their 1906 crop last
Saturday. The prospects for a big crop are
good, and In the absence of vermin of every
description, growers predict a crop of un
excelled quality.

WALL STREET IS PLEASED
Belifeves Delay Means Combination
With Union Pacific Market
Advances All Around on
This Assumption.
NEW YORK. July 26. Sieculat!ve senti
ment showed Itself sensitive today to- the in
fluence of the Harriman and Standard Oil fa
vorites, or what is equally effectual, what are
acepted aa favorites of those powerful finan
cial forces. Yesterday the general market
advanced because Southern Pacific. Union Pa
cific and St. Paul were strong. When these
stocks were seen today to be subjected to a
process of market digestion and of diligent
selling on all favorable opportunities, there
was a revulsion from the feeling created yes
terday by the aggressive buying of these
stocks. The suspicion was aroused that the
so-called news regarding these stocks was s,
result of the buying and not the cause of It.
, The brokers who were employed to buy the
stocks named yesterday gave the Impression
that the Hanrlman and Standard Oil forces
were buying enormous blocks of these usual
favorites and this belief was strongly pre
valent throughout the stock exchange neigh
borhood. The reports of an early dividend
declaration on 6outhera Pacific,, with result
ing benefit to Union Pacific from its large
holdings of the former stock, found ready cre
dence from the movement of the stocks. To
day many of the same persons who accepted
these reports were skeptical and expressed the
conviction that the whole movement was skill
ful manipulation by James R. Keene. The
faith in the St. Paul plan, which was to be
promulgated as a result of the return from
Europe of William Rockefeller and which was
Implicitly accepted yesterday, was shaken
again in face of the selling off ot that stock
and the market fell into an apathetic condi
tion soon after the opening to await the meet
ing of St. Paul directors and advanced
strongly on the nonaction on the plan.
The realizing In yesterday's favorites was
obscured for a time by the rising tendency
of other stocks. The most influential support
was due to sympathy with the large buying
of United States Steel. Trade news from the
country was encouraging, but this was not a
new factor in the market. More Importance
was attached to the news that the steamship
Baltic had been sighted having on board J.
P. Morgan, and was expected to dock dur
ing the afternoon. The effectlveness-of the
movement in United States Steel was marred
by the backwardness of the preferred stock
and by the positive depression of the sinking
fund bonds. The personal element ts thus
seen to have played a large part In the day's
influences continued In favor of
higher prices. There was a conspicuous rally
In Russians on the presumption that a fur
ther smouldering without an immediate con
flagration might be looked for in Russian
affairs. The Bank of England reported some
deterioration of condition, and there was im
provement shown by the Bank of France and
the Imperial Bank of Germany. Foreign ex
change continued to decline here and ap
proached the gold import point again. The
small amount of the bids and the low prices
for the New York City bonds ottered yester
day were the subject of wide discussion, with
unafovarble effect on the opinion ot the in
vestment situation. The effect was more
manifest in bonds than in stocks.
The new upward start in prices came after
the announcement of nonaction by the St.
Paul directors on the supposed financial plan.
This apparently singular action was based
upon a speculative assumption that the de
lay in the St. Paul financing heralded aban
donment of the proposed Pacific Coast exten
sion and a combination with the Union Pa
cific. The market closed strong and active
all around on this assumption.
Bonds were heavy. Total sales, par value,
1,341,000. United States new 4s advanced
3s per cent on call.

RALLY NEAR CLOSE
Chicago Wheat Market Turns
Firm at End of Session.
EXPORT BUYING REPORTED
Continued Rumors of Rust In the
Wheat Fields of North Dakota.
All the Early Loss
Is Regained.
CHICAGO, July 26. The wheat market ex
hibited considerable weakness today during
the first part of the session on selling by
cash houses and local longs. A moderate de
cline in the price of wheat at Liverpool
helped to encourage additional . selling on the
local market. One reason given for the sell
ing pressure was a fear of still larger re
ceipts here as a result of a cut in freight
rates on grain between Kansas City aad Chi
cago. The market continued weak until the
last hour, when a fair rally occurred follow
ing talk of considerable export business be
ing done at New York. Reports of rust In
the wheat fields of North Dakota had some
effect In creating the firmer feeling. Prac
tically all of the early loss was regained
and the market closed steady. September
opened HGUc lower, at T Static sold oft
to 76o, and then advanced to 676c
and closed practically unchanged at 76
6Hc.
Partial relief from drouth condtions In tha
corn belt caused weakness in the corn mar
ket- The market closed with prices at the
lowest of the day. September opened- o
lower, at 61USlc, sold off to &0c and
closed 3ic lower, at 50c.
Reports of more liberal acceptances caused
weakness in the oats market. September
opened unchanged to c lower, at 33H03c,
sold off to 33c and closed c lower, at 33c
The feature of trading In provisions was
