What practically amounts- to a 10 cent cut
In the price of refined sugar wu made in
this market yesterday by the Western Sugar
Refinery. It was done by putting two new
brands of ausar on the market, which, al
though similar to the old grades, were sold at
10 cents under the former price.
The new brands are named by the refinery
St. Francia XX and St. Francie XXX. The
jobber, to simplify matters, call them P. C.
green and P. C. red from the color of the
lettering on the acke. The St. Francis XX
Is of a grain similar to standard fine granu
lated, while the St. Francis XXX is similar
la grain to the fruit granulated. While both
dry granulated and fruit sugar are held at
$4.65 per hundred, the new brands are offered
to the retailers at $4.85. What the refinery
calls Its P. C. brand had been on the market
for eome time at 10 cents below the y price
of granulated.
This latest departure of the Spreckels re
finery Is causing eome trouble to the Jobbers.
There Is a multiplicity of brands on the
market which, to say the least, is confusing
It does not bother the retailer much, but the
wholesaler La required to keep a full stock
of the various kinds on hand to meet all the
calls made on him. When there was but one
refinery on the Coast, It had only one fine
ness of beet sugar and- three of cane sugar,
coarse granulated, fine granulated and fruit
granulated. The coarse was for manufac
turing purposes, the fine for general domes
tic ue and the fruit sugar, because of Its
fine grain, was put out to take the place of
powdered sugar. After competition in the
shape of the California & Hawaiian Refinery
Company came upon the market, the Spreckels
Company found it necessary. In order to secure
butunessi to begin putting out new brands at
lower quotations, in other words, to cut the
price on the same sugar under new names.
COFFEE VALUES MAY SOAR.
Effect of Brazilian Valorization Scheme on
American Markets.
Local coffee handlers yesterday received
wiree from Xew York to the effect that the
Brazilian Congress had parsed and the Presi
dent of that country had signed the valoriza
tion bill. This la looked upon as the begin
ning of high prices In the coffee market. The
local advice, were confirmed by the following
Associated Press dispatch from New York:
Private cablegrams received in the coffee
trade yesterday stated that President Alves,
of Brazil, had finally signed the bill recently
passed by both houses of the Brazilian Con
gress, providing for the valorization of coffee
and the financing of the project.
The provision of the bill as amended at
the last convention of the delegates appointed
by the three coffee-producing states of Rio de
Janeiro, San Paulo and Mlnas. which has
finally been made a law by the affixing of the
President's signature, do not appear to be
fully understood by the trade here. According
to local opinion the law provides primarily
for the raising of & loan approximating $t0.
000,000 to $7o,000,0C0, to be guaranteed not by
the federal government, but by the three
states above enumerated. The Interest on the
loan will be met from a elnklpg fund to be es
tablished by the Imposition of what is known
as a sur-tax of 3 francs on each bag of
coffee. It Is understood from the cable that
at least a part of the loan becomes available
with the approval of the bill by the Tresi
denL The immediate effects of the signing of the
bill upon the local market for coffee options
were seen in the sharp advance on the ex
change following the receipt of the news.
Eastern importers figure that under the
valorization scheme It will cost 11 cents to
Import coffee, or- about 3 cents above the
present market. Until two weeks ago, No. 7
Rio was quoted at about 8 cents. All sorts
of Santos and Rlos will be advanced In the
same proportion and other kinds of coffee
will go up In sympathy with the rise in Bra
zilian aorta, according to the general opinion
in the trade. The fact must not be lost
sight of that Brazil supplies 80 to 85 per cent
of the world's coffee and aaturally the price
of Brazllllan coffee will control the world's
market.
Local roasters have telegraphed to New
York for further particulars. The market has
already advanced 1 cent and it is believed
that prices on the Pacific Coast will be ad
vanced another cent and probably the, full
amount estimated by New York importers as
a result of the Inauguration of the valorisa
tion scheme.
BUTTER PRICE NOT UNIFORM.
Only Three City Creameries Have So -Far
Advanced to 24 Cents.
Only three of the city creameries have so
far advanced their quotations on extra cream
ery butter to 4 cents. Others say they will
go up later in the week. The Front street
butter market has not been affected. Receipts
have fallen off somewhat, but this has been
offset by the shutting oft of the outside de
mand, making It necessary to dUpoee locally
of everything that comes in. There is a good
shipping Inquiry for country store butter,
but a good part of the receipts prove to be in
unsalable condition, owing to the hot weather.
One dealer that made a large shipment from
San Francisco was invited to go down to
Ainsworth dock with some buckets and
brooms as the stuff had run all over the floor
of tha dock.
The egg market was dragging and unin
teresting. Receipts were quite plentiful, but
the demand was alow.
Prices of Sprmg chickens are gradually
tending to a lower level. The big markets
are buying .sparingly, while arrivals on Front
street continue to be large.
RUMORS IN HOP MARKET.
Horst Said to Have Bought Large Block of
190AS From Burst.
Another reported purchase of a large block
of hops by the E. Clemens Horst Company
was regarded by the trade yesterday as
further evidence of the stability of the market.
According to the story, which came from Saa
Francisco, Horst bought 3000 bales of M. H.
Durst own growth of 1&05 hops. The price
was not stated. Some local hopmen were
inclined to think that something was wrong
with the story, as it was not known that
Curat stUI cad that many hope on hand. No
one doubted, however, that Horst was In the
market, and If he Is buying up -last year's
growth, it certainly Indicates hie confidence In
the market.
Regarding the 17-cent contract deal at
Wood-burn, which has been agitating the
Portland and Salem trade for the past two
days, dealers were divided in opinion. One
Salm dealer wired down what purported to
be a confirmation of the sale, stating positively
that the lot. 200 bales, had been bought by
Horst from E4 Seeley. Charles Llvesley,
Horst'a Salem representative, denied the pur
chase. The Oregon tan" correspondent at
Woodburn wired:
"Diligent inquiry falls to confirm the re
port of a 17-cent hop sale in thfs section.
Ed Seeley denies having contracted his hops
at that figure and declares he will not con
tract at any price."
What Is again said to be the last lot of
1006 hops left la Oregon was disposed of Mon
day. Chester G. Murphy sold 35 bales to L.
Lachmund & Co., of Salem, at 13 cents, a
better price than he could have realized dur
ing the past season. Mr. Murphy recently
contracted 18.000 pounds of this year's crop to
the fame firm at 16 cents.
The contract price of the Ladd A. Reed hops,
which were were bought by H. L. Hart, of
this city, was 164 centa. and not 164 cents as
first reported.
G. Meucke yesterday received a cablegram
from his London correspondent, which esti
mated the coming English crop at 350,000 cwt.
A cable to Isaac Plncus & Son of Tacoma,
gave 300,000 cwt. as a maximum estimate in
England, reported the weather too dry for the
crop and said German conditions- were some
what better.
Wormy Peaches Condemned.
County Fruit Inspector Delch yesterday
condemned 100 boxes of Ashland peaches on
Front street, finding the fruit wormy. The
market was almost bare of California produce,
owing to the tunnel fire. Some few lots came
In on the express, but they did not go far
in filling orders. The regular movement is
expected to be resumed today. Cantaloupes
were higher yesterday owing to the scarcity,
but other prices were unchanged.

CLOSING TONE IS HEAVY
Shifting Process Goes on in Order to
Facilitate Digestion of Profits.
Break Takes Place in Con-,
solidated Gas.
NEW YORK. Aug. 7. The volume of trans
actions In today1, stock market was much
better sustained than yesterday after the
normal activity of the opening dealings, but
prices did not fare so well. It was evident
that a shifting process was going on such mm
is usual in the market leadership of a cam
paign under skilled generalship to facilitate
digestion of profits and to lighten the burden
of the large accumulations necessary to force
the upward movement of prices.
Yesterday's strong market had the effect of
brining In some additional outsids demand
overnight and It was the execution of orders
of this character which mad the activity of
the first hour. y
The narrow range of fluctuations on which
this large volume of business was transacted
disclosed the fact that the supply of stocks
was kept closely commensurate with the de
mand. The professional reading of this ac
tion In the market was that stocks were being
distributed Io take profits by the recent specu
lative buyers.
After this stage of the dealings had passed,
the state of activity with sharp advances
which has recently signalised the Harrtman
Pacific developed in other quarters of the mar
ket. Pennsylvania was the aggressive leader
of the upward movement. This diversion of
the speculation to new quarters of the market
was regarded at first with satisfaction by the
professional element committed' to an advance,
as the excessive movement In the trans
continental stocks and the Urge congestion
of the dealings 1n them had begun to arouse
suspicions. This group -of stocks Is almost
alone In the list in having risen above the
high figures of the June movement on the first
recovery after the San Francisco losses. But
the change in the leadership of the movement
proved lacking In efficacy and In the dealings
the transcontinental group began to rail off.
The effect of this on sentiment proved of
more Influence than the . new points of
strength. A break in Consolidated Gas helped
to unsettle the tone of the market. This was
bated upon the adjournment of the executive
committee with a formal announcement that
the quarterly dividend, the declaration of
which is now due, was not considered. Attention
was attracted by the agitation among stock
holders of the American Express Company for
larger dividends, which added ten points to
the price on top of yesterday's ten-point ad
vance. The early buoyancy of the Hill stocks was
based on renewed rumors of an early consum
mation of the ore-land deal. Large Increases
In gross earnings for July in the Vanderbllt
companies benefited New York Central. The
cheerful resumption of financial markets in
London after the holiday helped ths early tone
here.
Foreign exchange was firm and money rates
were also maintained, except that time loans
for some of the longer dates maturing beyond
the first of next year were somewhat easier.
Five and six months' mosey, however, was
firmly held and 5 per cent was said to be
obtainable for January money. Last prices
of the day showed mixed changes and the
transcontinental railroads and some of the
leading industrial stocks were on the side of
the declines. The closing tone was heavy.
Bonds were heavy. Total sales, par value,
1. 805.000. United States bonds were all un
changed on call.

lower at 72S-72c, advanced to 73c and

BIG DEAL IfJ WHEAT
Athena Miller Signs Up. Con
tracts for 200,000 Bushels.
SIXTY CENTS IS PAID
Over Half of This Year's Crop on
Umatilla Reservation Has Been
Sold by Farmers Others
Hold for Higher Prices.
PENDLETON. Or., Aug. 7. (Special.) The
biggest wheat deal of the season is reported
to have been made today when D. H. Preston,
of the Preston-Parton Hill, at Athena, finished
signing up club and red chaff contracts for
200,000 bushels of choice wheat at 60 cents
per bushel.
While lical buyers for the various ware
houses are secretive as to the number of bush
els they are buying daily. It has been learned
by a careful canvass that over half this year's
crop 'on the reservation, or more than 500,000
fcusbela. has already been sold by the farmers.
From reports all over the wheat-growing sec
tion of Eastern Oregon It Is learned that
about the same ratio of sales Is being kept
up. Some of the most successful wheatraisers,
farmers who keep a close watch on the mar
kets, augur from these conditions that ths
graindealera are anticipating a shortage and
are consequently holding for a high price.
One of the most prominent of the large
ranchers In the county said today that he
looked for 80-cent wheat before snow files.
In spite of earlier reports of poor crops,
the yield In every part of the county Is prov
ing a surprise. No reports of less than 95
bushels per acre have come In, and for the
most part the crops are averaging 40 bushels,
while frequently as high as 50 and 60-bushel
yields are noted. Tomorrow is wheat sales
day at Pendleton, but dealers and farmers
alike anticipate that but little business will be
done.
