CANNED GOOD3 California gallon

The English hop crop la deteriorating, ac
cording to two cables received by Klaber,
Wolf A Setter, which place an estimate on
the crop below anything heretofore received.
This firm's cables follow:
"Conditions still critical. Difficult to esti
mate crop. Market firm and advancing."
"Prospects for crop very disheartening. Crop
greatly damaged by vermin. Estimate of
crop, 270.000 to 380,000 hundredweight. Mar.
ket advancing."
The Kentish Observer of July 26 in its de
tailed plantatlbn reports repeats the story of
previous weeks. A few axe given as typical
of the general report:
Benenden. While the bin has been well
cultivated and thoroughly washed from the
beginning of the aphis attack the prospect
points to an average crop, and perhaps some
thing more, but the neglected grounds are
well-nigh past recovery, the severity of the
blight having proved too much for the weak
and backward plants.
Blddenden. The blight etlll goes on and
washing is general. Where beet washed the
bine looks a good color and la making fresh
work. The crop must be very small now,
whatever happens In the way of weather.
Canterbury. Under the Influence of the
sweltering heat and brilliant sunshine, the
healthy bine is doing well, the laterals de
veloping vigorously and the burr on the for
ward sorts making a good show. The weak
and neglected grounds, however, do not make
much progress, and the crop from these will be
very small.
Chilham. As fas as one lot of lice are
destroyed by washing there comes another
lot of fly which makes the hops Infested with
lice as -bad as ever, and makes no end to
washing this season. It is doubtful whether
we shall get rid of them this time. There
are gardens In this parish that will not pro
duce more than one hundredweight per acre If
picked at all.
Godmersham. Fresh attacks of fly are in
cessant: no sooner than one washing Is fin
ished, it is absolutely necessary to commence
again. Mould is far too plentiful. The ex
penses necessary to check these two evils alone
have run up an enormous bill. The crop
must be a very light one, and the proceeds
from the sale of hops this year are looked
forward to with great anxiety.
Petham South and Waltham. I hoped last
week that the vermin were weakening, but
they seem to have taken a new lease of lite,
and washing has had to be done all over again.
Unwashd gardens will hardly be worth pick
ing. Bine is short everywhere, and as the
Bramllngs are coming into burr there Is no
time to ail up, and the crop must be the
shortest we have had for some years. If the
average is only going to be 5 hundredweight
per acre they will cost us 8 to produce.
"With the large stock on hand and the proba
bility of a large Import, the lookout is decid
edly b'.ack.
Petham and District. Some of the bops in
this district have gone from bad to worse.
Others, where washing began early, have Im
proved, but It is a rare thing to And a ground
free from vermin. I do not think we shall
grow more hops than we did in 1004 unless
things change for the better ln a few days'
time. Not much mould. Cultivation neglected
on account of washing.
Sheldwlch (Faversham). There Is sufficient
bine in this district to grow eight to ten
hundredweight per acre, but there are lice
enough to reduce It to one pocket of sound
hops per acre. I only know one clean
ground: all the rest are dirty, although they
have been washed well. A small crop Is cer
tain, and no one can say how small' It may
be.
Worcester (South). Hops have made no
progress this last week, the nights being so
cold. The unwashed yards have gone Into a
black blight and the leaves are falling off.
Taking the washed and unwashed yards gen
erally they have not looked so bad since 1882.
HAWAIIAN FRUIT IN PORTLAND.
Sample Lot of Papains, Avocadoes and Man
goes Brought Here.
Portland has an opportunity now to sample
the fruit rroducta of the Hawaiian Isles. J.
Edgar Hlggins, horticulturist of the Hawaiian
agricultural experiment station, which is con
nected with the Department of Agriculture, is
here with a shipment of Island fruit for the
purpose of Introducing It in this section. The
lot was opened up yesterday In the store of
the W. B. Glance Company and attracted much
attention. It consisted of papaias, mangoes,
avocadoes. or alligator pears, pineapples and
bananas. ...
Mr. Hlggins Is not only anxious to Introduce
the fruit to Americans, and thus find & wider
market for It, but another purpose in bringing
It here was to see how it would stand ship
ment. There was an idea at Honolulu that
the fruit would not stand up under the long
trip. The experiment proved to be an entire
success, for not 5 per cent of the lot was
spoiled In transit. Most of It was gathered
between July 28 and 30. The shipment was
brought to San Francisco under Ice, but there
was no refrigeration on the railroad trip up
through the hot Sacramento Valley, yet the
tender papaias were as sound when unpacked)
as when they left Honolulu.
Some specimens of the fruit were served at
the Commercial Club yesterday, and today
they will be In all the leading hotels and fruit
CHICKENS ARE LOWER,
feprings and Old Ones Now Selling at About
Same Price.
Spring chickens and old hens are selling
now at about the same price. For Springs, 14
cents was the top quotation made yesterday.
The demand was very slow, and. although re
ceipts were not as large as recently, some
stock was carried over.
The egg market was steady, with receipts
and demand about equal. '
No change was. reported In the creamery
butter situation. Store butter was a shade
firnser.
GraJn Bag Market Uncertain.
The market for grain bags has a somewhat
eaeler tone, but quotations have not been
changed pending the arrival of the Numantia.
It Is understood she has a quantity of bags
aboard, but no one knows how many. The
steamer Is due the middle of next week.
Delayed Melon Arrive.
Railroad communication with California was
fully established yesterday afternoon, when
eight cars of watermelons and two cars of
BRITAIN
HOPCRQP
cantaloupes arrived. No other delayed fruit
was received up to the close of busine hours.
It Is needless to say there was a fine mar
ket for the melons and cantaloupes. Liberal
shipments of local orchard fruit came in and
found ready sale.
California Gallon Fruits Advance.
Gallon canned fruits In California have stiff
ened up materially in the last few days. The
strongest advance was in apricots, which are
now quoted 60 to 75 cents higher. Peaches,
blackberries and other fruits have alio ad
vanced In sympathy.

CALL IV1DNEY HIGHER
Advance Has Weakening Ef
fect on Stocks.
ONLY FEW LEADERS STEADY
Financial Situation Offsets Effect
of Government's Enormous Fig
' ures in Crop Report Talk
of Gold Imports.
NEW YORK. Aug. 10. Today's stock mar
ket was held suspended between the Influences
of the rising rates for call money and the ex
traordinary figures of the Government's re
port on the condition of the great cereal crop.
There was a orlef and slight hardening of
prices of stocks following the publication of
the Government crop report, which served only
to about restore the level of prices to where
they left oft last night. But the market fell
back again Into a torpid state after this brief
sign of animation.
The prom-se of the crops, according to the
estimates of the crop based on present condi
tions, fixes a figure In excess of last year's
bumper crop, and' also Is well above the esti
mate fixed at this date last year. The mod
erate effect of the report either in the grain
markets or In the stock market was due partly
to the confident expectation of its favorable
character previously held. But the money sit
uation undoubtedly had an Important part in
the restraint on the stock market. Call loan
rates and rates for time loans were higher.
Estimates of the week's currency ' movement
indicate a slight movement on balance against
New York to be added to the $2,000,000 lent
to the Subtreasury. But no doubt Is enter
tained that the course of the movement, thus
slightly Indicated, has turned definitely
against New York for the eviujon. Weejtly
withdrawals from the cash reserves of the
New York banks are to be expected therefore
for an indefinite period. Relief from other
sources depends on New York's ability to draw
gold from abroad. ,
Conditions are moving quite strongly to
wards the point of profit on gold Imports. A
further wide decline In foreign exchange rates
today brought that point nearer. It Is be
lieved that new arrivals of gold In the London
market will be available for New York under
present conditions, although they do not al
low withdrawals from the Bank of England
for4 shipment. The official figures of the Rand
production of gold in July were of Interest In
this connection, showing the increasing ten
dency of the output still in progress, the
monthly production rising to 491,713 fine
ounces, the greatest in the history of the
Transvaal.
The desultory showing of strength In a few
stocks during the day, principally the Harrl
man Pacifies and "the Pennsylvania group, was
attributed to hopes of early dividend Increase.
The general market was sluggish and narrow
throughout. The freedom of the call loan
market from a final flurry, which was some
what feared, prompted a stiffening of prices
at the last which established the day's gain
for the few strong stocks. Net changes, as a
rule, however, were trivial. The closing tone
was steady.
Bonds were heavy. Total sales, par value,
$1,720,000. United States bonds were all un
changed on call.

WHEAT WEAKENS AT CHICAGO.
ProHt-Taking; on Publication of Government
Report.
CHICAGO, Aug. 10. The publication of the
Government report came late In the day and
Injected some animation into a previously
inert session. According to the Government
experts, the total yield of wheat In the United
States this year will amount to 759,000.000
bushels, as compared with an actual yield last
year of 092.000,000 buehels. The official sta
tistics Indicated a decline of 4.5 points in the
condition of Spring wheat, but this was more
than offset by the enormous total yield of
Winter and Spring wheat. The Government
report caused considerable profit-taking and re
sulted in moderate declines. Early In the
day the market held quite firm as a result
of a fair advance In the price of wheat at
Liverpool, The close was weak. September
opened a lower to 14c higher at 72c to
7214c, sold up to 72c, and then declined to
717Sc. The close was o off at 72c.
The total yield of corn this year of 2.651,-
000.000 bushels, as Indicated by the Govern-
ment crop report, had a weakening effect on
the corn market In general. The September
delivery, however, was upheld by small local
receipts and light stocks. September closed
practically unchanged at 49Vic.
Notwithstanding a bullish report for oats.
tbe market closed barely steady. Official ng
ures Indicated a total yield of 801,000.000 bush
els, which is 17 per cent less than the amount
of last year's crop. September closed prac
tically unchanged at 31c.
Provisions were Inclined to weakness - be
cause of a continuance of liberal receipts of
live hogs. At the close September pork was
off 6a at $16.90. Lard was a shade higher at
$8.7088.72. Ribs were down 5&7Vic at $.
