The hop market was definitely placed on a
20-cent basis yesterday. Four transactions
that were fully con firmed took place at that
figure. The market was given a good, healthy
bocet, and predictions were freely made that
the coming week, will see prices climb higher.
Three of the 20-cent purchases were made
by Lachmund & Plncua, of Salem. The first
to be announced was the Hill & Bernard lot
of 10,000 pounds at Luckiamute. Later the
Arm bought 10,000 pounds from W. W. Falk,
of Balem. and in the evening closed a con
tract with a Reedvllle grower, whose name
could not be learned, for 60.000 pounds. An
other 20-cent deal involved a block of hops
sold by Catlln & Linn, of Salem, but the
particulars were not made public. Lachmund
Sl Plncus during the day also made a con
tract for 40,000 pounda of primes with A. J.
Ray & Son at 18 cents. Several other 18-cent
transactions were reported from the country.
A California, wire stated that 20 cents had
been paid yesterday for Sonoma hops.
The following special dispatch received by
The Oregonian from Dallas last evening shows
that the excitement is spreading up the
country:
''Dallas, Or.. Aug. 17. (Special.) E. C.
Kirkpatrlck. the hop exporter and plunger,
arrived home unexpectedly by private con
veyance from Newport late last night, and
today is freely offering 22 cents for growths
of choice yards. The offer was made person
ally to three prominent growers of the Dallas
district, but was refused by each.
"Mr. Kirkpatrlck is reticent, and refuses
to give out any information as to whether
thne offers are made for the purpose of ex
port, speculation or otherwise, but admits that
he will take all the choice goods offered.
Cables received from Europe yesterday were,
as they have been of late, more or less con
flicting. The Associated Press reported rain
in England. Foreign newspaper reports re
ceived by mall were too old to be of much
service, as the crops have undoubtedly dete
riorated since the reports were made up, ac
cording to most of the cable advices received
since that time.
The Kentish Observer of August 2, in Its de
tailed plantation reports, showed the im
provement that was noted In the cables re
ceived at that time. The correspondents,
however, were generally of the opinion that
under the most favorable conditions up to
the end of harvest, the total, crop was not
likely to exceed that of 1904. That paper
rubllahed the following letter from Klelber &
Co.. of Nuremburg, under date of July 2S:
"We beg to report about the prospects of
the new crop. It Is as yet far too coon to
form a positive opinion about the growing hop
crop on the Continent; it is, however, almost
certain that under the most favorable cir
cumstances the yield must be a moderate one;
the next 14 days will decide the definite" re
sult. In Bavaria the principal and most re
nowned diftrlcts of Spalt and Hallertau are
likely to be the moet favored onee, but the
Mountain and Frankonlan districts are suf
fering heavily und-r the prevailing vermin
pest. Bohemia and Austrian, reports .speak
of about half the quantity of last year's crop,
which was an extraordinarily good and large
one. Stocks of lft06 hops on offer are very
limited, and prices about 20s to 30s higher
all rpund than four weeks ago."
LARGE DEALS AT 20 CENTS.
Lachmund Plncus Buy Big Hop Crops In
Polk County.
BALEM. Or., Aug. 17. (Special.) Twenty
cents was the contract price at which Lach
mund Plncus bought the W. W. Fawk and
the Hill and Bernard hop crops In Polk
County today. The.se crops are 10,000
pounds each. The same firm reports the
purchase of a . 60,000-pound, crop In Polk
County at the same price, but the deal was
confidential and no names are given.
McKinley Mitchell informed Salem hopmen
today that ne bad bought hops today at 20
cents, but nothing about the deals could be
learned.
BUTTER MOVING STEADILY.
Supply on Front Street Is Still Somewhat
in Excess of the Demand.
A steady movement in butter Is reported
by the city creameries, which are quoting
their top brands at 2Mf20 cents. On Front
fitneet, the supply is still somewhat In excess
of the demand, but the leading handlers have
raised their prices In sympathy with the ad
vance on city make. The best outside brands
were quoted yesterday at 25 cents, and the
output of creameries not so well known was
held at 22 cents.
The egg market was steady at 21 to 22
cents. Some firms cleaned up entirely, while
others were not so successful. There was a
good demand, and some effort was made to
advance the market, but It did not succeed.
Receipts of poultry this week have been
smaller than last week, probably owing to the
drop In prices, and as the demand has con
tinued good, the week promises to close with
a steady market. Some dealers make no dis
tinction now In prices between Spring chlck
ena and old hens.
FRESH FRUIT IS SCARCE.
Only Watermelons Are in Good Supply on
Front Street.
There was a general scarcity of fruit on
Front street yesterday, and firm prices were
paid In several lines. Watermelons were In
good supply on the street, but no unsold cans
were left at the railroad yards. Of the heavy
arrivals of the preceding days, six cars were
diverted to other polpts. No cantaloupes
came In, but a car or two are due today.
Peaches- -were practically cleaned up, and
the strong demand sent prices for the best
offerings up $1.40. Grapes are moving better
In the absence of other fruit. Local sweet
waters are offered at 75 cents, and California
grapes at $LfiO1.85, ths former for muscats
and the latter for Black Prince.

TAKEN BY SURPRISE
Wall Street Electrified by Har
riman Dividend News.
STOCKS BEGIN TO SOAR
Union Pacific Takes a Jump of 1 7
Points, and Southern Pacific
Advances Six Points Entire
List Is Affected.
NEW YORK. Aug. 17. Union Pacific, on
a 10 per cent dividend basis, and Southern
Pacific, on a 5 per cent dividend basis. Offi
cial announcement of this result of yester
day's meeting of the executive committees
of the two companies electrified Wall stree;
almost immediately after operations in the
stock market had begun today. Speculative
excitement blazed up of a sudden and in
stead of burning Itself out In a flash, as is
not unusual on . such an outbreak after a
period of continued speculation, the flame
thus kindled increased and spread until prac
tically all parts of the stock exchange list
were embraced In the fervent demand to
buy stocks.
Wall street turprises commonly are not
due to under-estimatlon of coming events.
The usual rule Ib that a period of speculative
excitement, such as has occurred this week
In the Harriman Pacifies, gives rise to so
many excited conjectures, partly voluntarily
and partly incited for a purpose, and that
the actual event on which a speculation has
been baaed brings disappointment, and more
likely a rush to sell than an extension of the
buying movement. Yesterday rumor-mongers,
who alleged that Southern Pacific was
to receive a semi-annual dividend of 2 per
cent rather lhan the ex-dlvldend of 2 per
cent,, were regarded as extravagant. For
the prospects of Union Pacific stockholders,
the most hopeful prophet offered no sugges
tion that more than 3tt per cent for the
half year would be disbursed on that stock,
opinion being" divided on this as to whether
the Increase over the preceding 3 per ent
rate would be Incorporated in a regular 3
per cent dividend or distinguished as V, per
cent extra In addition to maintaining the
3 per cent regular rate.
The dazallng effect of the announcement
of a regular 5 per cent semi-annual dividenl
on the speculative imagination was thus
magnified many fold. Opinion leaped to the
conclusion that there was a decision repre
senting financial power and authority of the
first magnitude and likely to effect by Its in
fluence and example the control of corporate
management as a whole, that the period
making desirable strict retrenchment In the
disbursement of corporate profits for the ex
pansion of facilities and the Improvement of
plant and equipment had reached Its com
pletion and that the way was open for the
enjoyment by stockholders of a fuller share
of earnings, secure In the capacity of their
property to care for the requirements upon it
and to maintain the earning power thus de
fined. The convulsive rise In Union Pacific and
Southern Paolflc aroused some anxiety at first,
owing to the distress of an uncovered short
Interest which was indicated. The movement
elsewhere in consequence was feverish and ir
regular for a time. The general deductions
drawn from the dividend action on the Pacifies
was too Important and far-reaching to allow
the general advance to be long restrained. The
new income basla offered by the Pacifies them
selves, especially Union Pacific, left such wide
room for readjustment In the price that the rise
was vigorously extended by spasmodic move
ments. Other stocks most acutely affected nat
urally were those in which condltlone bore the
closest analogy to those of Union Pacific Penn
sylvania and New York Central were the prin
cipal examples by reason of their large stock
holdings of controlled companies. The in
crease In the Union Pacific dividend was defi
nitely assigned to the resources of it Income
from investment. Hence the analogy. The
strength of the market, however, became fair
ly comprehensive.
The continued rise In interest rates on time
loans and the testimony of tbe current move
ment of the growh of the interior demand for
harvesting purposes "were forced out of sight
almost completely in the speculative enthusi
asm of the day.
Union Paclncs extreme high price was 170,
COmnared With IrtU In at nftrht Rnnrhern Pa.
clflc rose to 89 early in the day. an extreme'
advance of 6T4, but did not rise again to
that level later. Pennsylvania gained 6. New
York Central 4. and the active list generally
from 1 to 3. The irregular closing below the
best of the day was the natural result of real
izing the day'a inviting profits.'
Bonds were irregular. Total sales, par
value, $2,930,000. United States . bonds were
all unchanged on call.

WHEAT TURNS FIRM
Sharp Rise in the Chicago
Grain Pit.
OPENS STRONG AND ACTIVE
Advance t Tjiverpool Comes as a
Surprise to the Shorts Argen
tine Shipments, Decrease.
Russia Is Buying.
CHICAGO, Aug. 17. The wheat market
opened strong on a lively demand by shorts
and commission houses. A sharp advance in
the price of wheat at Liverpool came as a
surprise to the majority ot pit traders, many
of whom had sold short the previous day, and
In an attempt to cover the short sales, prices
were forced up materially, the September de
livery showing a gain of o to c on initial
transactions. The total movement for the week
from Argentine was 856.000 bushels, compared
with 1,376,000 bushels the previous week. As
the set-slon advanced the market was further
strengthened by a report from St. Petersburg
to the effect that wheat was being imported
into Russia from Germany. Late In the day
sentiment lost much of Its bullishness owing
to a sharp decline In the price of corn. The
close was, however, firm. September opened
c to c higher at 70c to 70c, sold off to
70e, and closed at 70j70c.
Likelihood of a material Increase in the
movement caused liberal profit-taking In Sep
tember corn and resulted in a break of over
1 cent a bushel in the price of that delivery.
Although cash houses disagreed as to the
amount of acceptances. Indications pointed to
large receipts in the near future. The market
closed weak. September opened a shade to
c higher at 48c to 48c, and closed
at 49 S49 c.
Clear weather and large receipts, both, local
and at other primary points, had a weakening
effect on the oats market. Cash houses were
the principal sellers. September closed at
9c.
The feature of trading in provisions was
profit-taking in pork by local longs. A 8-cent
advance in the price of live hogs had a
steadying effect early in the day. September
pork closed 27c lower, lard 2c and ribs 5o
lower.

COXTIXUAXCE OF THE PRESENT
GOOD CONDITIONS ASSURED.
Railways Will Be Unable to Handle
All the Business When the
Crops Begin to Move.
NEW YORK, Aug. 17. R. O. Dun St Co.'a
Weekly Review of Trade tomorrow will say:
Abundant crops and an oversold steel indus
try engender sentiments of confidence that
make the outlook bright for a continuance of
present prosperous business conditions. Each
week brings a new high-water mark in some
department, and the net result is uniformly
better than for the corresponding week In any
previous year.
Despite unprecedented preparations for busi
ness by liberal purchase of rolling stock, the
railways are facing a serious traffic blockade
that .cannot be avoided when the crops begin
to move freely. Earnings thus far reported
for August were 11.7 per cent larger than
last year.
No relief appears as to the supply of labor,
production being reduced in some cases where
consumers are most urgent. Fall dry goods
Jobbing trade broadens, clothing-makers make
heavy shipments and the leading Industries are
usually supplied with orders assuring active
machinery well into next year.
July foreign commerce for the whole country
far surpassed the same month in any previous
year, especially as to imports, which were
close to the largest In any previous month
and at this port alone for the last week
there were gains of $5,801,463 in Imports and
$1,519,833 in exports, as compared with the
same week In 1905.
Failures this week numbered 176 in the
United States, against 218 last year, and 16
In Canada, compared with 28 a year ago.
CONFIDENCE IN CROPS.
Railway Operations Continue to Be Im
mensely Profitable.
NEW YORK, Aug. 17. Bradstreefs to
morrow will say:
Confidence Increases as crops, promising
large If not record yields in nearly all In
stances, approach maturity, and Jobbing
operations' demand from first hands and
orders from manufacturers 4roaden as the
