THE MORNING OREGONIAN. SATURDAY, AUGUST 25, 1906. 15 FIND NEW OUTLET San Francisco May Not Want Many Fancy Potatoes. HIGH-PRICED TRADE GONE Bulk of Oregon Crop Will Probably Have to Be Marketed in the Southwestern and South ern Markets. POTATOES Ban Francisco demand for fancy stock may b less than usual. POULTRY All kind Inquired for. ECitJS Firm with upward tendency. BUTTER Steady and unchanged. HOPS Local market quiet. FRUIT Peach season now on. It is probable there will not be aa heavy a demand as usual this season from San Fran cisco for the beat grades of Oregon potatoes a there Is not the high-priced trade there- to consume them now. This Is the opinion of W. H. McCorquodale, a local potato dealer, who has been Investigating conditions In Cali fornia. Every thing indicates." he said yesterday, 'that Oreaon will have to look to the South western and Southern markets for the biggest outlet thLs year. It Is too early to epeak defi nitely of conditions elsewhere than In Califor nia, but I am satisfied not much business can be done with the San Francisco market. While the early crop of Sacramento Rivers Is not up to the usual standard, either In quan tity or quality, the arrivals at San Francisco now are showlnr up much better than, was expected. So fax as can be judged, there will not be any great difference this Beason in the yield of late rivers. "What I saw In a trip up the Willamette Valley of the late crop was looking very fine, but the potatoes will need rain .shortly. Indications point to the early crop being short, but if we get rain when it usually comes, the late crop will be about normal, and should there be any shortage in the yield, it will be made up by the Increase In acrease. In some sections I found the late potato acre age double what It was last year. "I would attain advlae the growers. In the strongest terme possible, that they pay par ticular attention this year to grading, aa the sizes will probably run smaller than usual. There is no earthly use for a farmer to try to sell seed potatoes for table purposes. "The market Is not quite as brisk as It has been and for the present there will be prac tically only a local demand. The majority of the Alaska orders have been filled. "In onions, the sizes this year will be con siderably smaller than usual, on account of the dry weather, but Indications point to a very good crop In all sections, as the weather has been extremely favorable for drying them out. Aa the farmers are now pulling their onions, there does not seem any, chance of havlnj? the trouble we had last year with frost-bitten stock. Just at present It Is doubt ful to what extent California will make ship ments to Australia In September and October, as the latwrt advices received from Australia were forwarded too early for definite Infor mation." WAITING HOP MARKET. Mall Report of Crop Conditions In England and Germany. The day pafwed without any new develop ment In the local hop market. There was no report in any of the local offices of a trans action and at the Belvedere, even rumors of sales were lacking. The Associated Press re port of rainy weather In England caused much Interest as picking Is beginning In that country. The plantation reports In the Kentish Ob server of August 0 show the condition of the English yards at that day. Several of them are here reproduced: Blddenden The hot sun and dry winds have now about dried up the vermin and also the bine, which looks either yellow or too black, very few pieces look green. The rop will be much lens than I thought a fortnight ago. A good rain is the only thing that can now do any good. Bridge and Neighbourhood Most of those garden that have received greaV attention from the beginning, now look like growing an average crop of hops, but there Is no certainty yet, as washing is still going on, and there is some blind bine, and the cones may not grow out well after the trying ordeal through which the bine has passed. Canterbury District There Is very little change in the situation since last week. Sat isfactory development Is going on In the healthy grounds, the burr coming1 out well, but vermin still remain at places In spite of the tremendous amount of washing that has been done. The neglected grounds present a very bad appearance, and the few hops they may grow will not be worth picking. On the forward sorts small hops have already formed, and these In most Instances look healthy and are free from mould. Chllhair. and Chartham Hops in these parishes vary very much. All are feeling the effects of the dry weather. A large proportion of grounds can produce a very small crop only, some have gone absolutely black, and look as though they will not have a basket In them. The best managed and well washed gardens . are Improving, but even here the crop must be a light one. Vermin not so troublesome now, but mould is Inclined to run at places. Dunkirk The hops are improving where they have been constantly washed. There Is mould at places. The Bram lings are now fast developing into hope. With a continuance of the fine hot weather they may come out fairly well, but the crop will be very short. Harb led own The clean- hops continue to Improve, but the indifferently washed get blacker and most of the laterals are blind. Even the cleanest do not show that vigor in the burr which denotes a prolific crop. The burr seems to hang too long. There Is an increase of mould, and sulphuring seenuf of little avail at present. The outlook Is still critical, and the estimate must be a low one under the most favorable circumstances. Mailing. East and West Those grounds that have successfully come through the severest phis attack that hae been experienced since 182 are looking fairly well, giving promise of a moderate crop of hops, while those that have not been thoroughly cultivated and waFhed are In a hopeless condition. There is a lot of mould about, and sulphuring will have to be resorted to. Paddock Wood There is still further im provement In the best plantations, but the lite have not yet all been cleared off, though washing has been done seven or eight times. All the well cultivated pieces are looking very fair Indeed, and will no doubt give a good ac count of themselves when picking time ar rives. The neglected gardens show no im provement and will give very poor results. Adolf Heller, of Prague, writing to the Kentish Observer under date of August 6, fays: During the week before last the hop plan tations In Bohemia had shown aa Improve ment all round. The well grown developed quite satisfactorily, and even the black ones have thrown out fresh laterals with some burr. But last week serious apprehensions were en tertained that the Incessant heat without any rains would destroy the burr to a great ex tent, when at last heavy downpours removed all fears. Of course the crop cannot be ex pected to be a good one, but the Saax district will grow about half and the other Bohemian districts about one-quarter to one-third of last year's quantity, and the other Austrian hc growing countries nearly as many hops are expected as last year. The German reports are on the whole much more favorable. The crop in market hops district and the Alsch grund can be only a small one, but in fcspalt an average crop, and in the Hallertau a good crop Is expected. In Wurtemburg and Baden average crops are estimated, and la Alsace, where' three weeks ago all hopes to grow some hops had been abandoned, the improvement is such a marked one that they expect half of last year's quantity. The districts In the North" of Germany report satisfactorily, and so are the reports from Burgundy. Hop gale In Yakima. NORTH YAKIMA, Wash.. Aug. 24. (Spe cial.) Hops sold today for IS centn. the high est price paid here this season. The market shows Uns of strengthening, although few orders are being placed. There la some un certainty as to h,ow the prices will open when the picking is over. PEACH SEASON ON. Coming; Week Will gee It at Its Height. Low Prices Not Likely. Next week will eee the peach season at Its height. The prospects are that very good prices will prevail, as the Southern Oregon crop, which is now -beginning to move, is not going to be a heavy one. The inquiry at Valley points is already very strong- and with the big demand here, the supply may not prove adequate. Word received from Rose burg yesterday said there were no peaches at all at that point. The local market for a few days has been somewhat top heavy, owing to heavy arrivals from California, but these are being worked oft. A car of fancy Elberta peaches Is due from Yakima today. The local market is glutted with grapes, owing to the heavy shipments made here on consignment, and prices dropped sharply yes terday. Cantaloupes are arriving freely from Dlllard and are bringing from $1.50 to $1.75. Some fancy Payette cantaloupes were re ceived and were quoted at $2 on pony and $2.25 on standard crates. The four cars of bananas due yesterday will not arrive until Sunday morning. QUICK POULTRY SALES. Strong Demand Continues For All Kinds. Eggs Are Firm. The strong demand for poultry continued again yesterdty. Arrivals were larger, but did not prove adequate. The inquiry was strongest for hens and large Springs, but tur keys, ducks and geese also moved readily. The egg market was quoted firm, with prac tically all the day's business reported at 22 cents, though on some large lots the price was probably shaded. Trade In butter continued to be satisfactory without change in nrlces. Bank Clearings. Bank clearings of the leading cities of the Northwest yesterday were as follows: Cleartmrs. Balances.

HELMED TO WE ABSEXCE OF EXPORT DEMAND IX THE WHEAT MARKET. Excellent Reports of Conditions of Spring Crop Depress the Prices at Chicago. CHICAGO. Aug. 24. The wheat market was inclined to be weak all day, but In the early part of the session prices were held fairly seady by the firmness of Liverpool cablet. Toward the noon hour, the market became weak on selling; caused by the ab sence of export demand and excellent reports of the condition -of the Spring; crop. Advices regarding the Canadian crops were especially optimistic, one report claiming that the total yield of wheat for the Dominion would ehow a, gain of 10 per cent over that of last year. Late In the day, however, a large part of the loss was regained on covering by hort. September opened a shade to higher at tmtlc to Hc. sold oft to 70c and closed He down at 714c. Kain over a large portion of the corn belt caused weakness today. The close was weak. September opened s14c lower to & shade higher at 48AmSc, sold off to 4T1go and closed V&C off at 4Slc. Oats were weak. September opened a shade lower to a shade higher at 2929c, sold off to Wo and closed USe off at 2c. Buying of lard by packers was the feature of the trading in provisions. September lard closed with a gain of 22 c; pork was un changed and ribs were 25c up. The leading futures ranged as follows: WHEAT. - Open. High. Low.

MARKET IS IRREGULAR TJnlon Pacific Touches a New High Record and Southern Pacific Sells Nearly at the Top. Money Is Easier. NEW YORK. Aug. 24. In the main, to day's stock market was largely a repetition of -the previous days. Pretty much the same stocks were used as market leaders and for the greater part of the day the same degree of Irregularity prevailed. To round out the ana logy, trading was in almost the same propor tions. The movement took In a number of spe cialties not especially prominent in the recent activity, such as National Lead and Interna tional Pump, but a fresh upward movemsnt In the Pacifies the Harriman Issues was again the most prominent feature. These stocks, together with United States Steel com mon, which early distinguished Itself by scor ing a new high record for the movement; the Hill Issues, Amalgamated Copper, Atchison, St. Paul and Reading comprised the bulk of the business. In fact, sales of Steel and Cop per overshadowed all else In the final hour. Fears of a flurry in call loans, which opened at 5 per cent, seemed to vanish In the early afternoon, when prices were at their highest. Forecasts showing bank losses for the week approximating $9,000,000 were received with apparent indifference In spite of the low state of reserves and surplus. Those who had looked for some measure of financial relief from Washington must have had their hopes rudely dashed by the pronouncement of the Secre tary of the Treasury that present condition call for no Government assistance. The early boom in Steel bore all the ear marks of yesterday's open manipulation and was accompanied by rumors that a large pool had been floated In one of the Western In dustrial centers to accumulate the stock. The 'increased dividend" rumor in connection with this stock was again industriously circulated, while veiled suggestions of a further distribu tion In Union Paolfio were given as the rea son for the new move in that issue. This stock was issued as the market leader in the early afternoon rise, but trading soon fell oft to very moderate volume and the effort to sustain the market was for a time aban doned. The market gathered fresh impetus in the last hour, when call money fell to 8 per cent, in spite of the popular belief that the bank reserves on the known movements of money would probably show a deficit tomor row. ' The bull element trotted out an old rumor about this time the purchase of St. Paul by Southern Pacific. 6t. Paul sold within a fraction of its high price of the week and the buying today seemed to come from brokers who are frequently employed by Harriman interests. Much of today's trad ing In that stook was believed to be for ao count of a belated short interest. Tha sale of a small block of American Express stock at 260, the highest price In four years, was a feature of the special group. The market grew dull in the late trading with no marked tendency in either direction. Prices had yielded fractionally, however, and the market became almost Inert. In the last 15 minutes a new movement caused, an upward bound in the Harriman stocks, which were heavily traded In. Union Pacific went to 189, a new high record, and Southern Pacific to 92. a fraction below its top price. Steel common also made a new high record for the movement at 47, and the remainder of the list Improved, though not in the same relative degree. There was absolutely no news to account for the advance, other than expectations of gold Imports, and, aa previously stated, inti mations of further dividend disbursements in Union Pacific. The closing was active and strong. American securities held well in London, where the general market seemed un disturbed over the probable changes in the Cabinet. ' Time money was firmer and in more limited supply, a Per cent commission go ing with most 90-day and four months loans, while for over year accommodation, the rate was eauivalent to 7 per cent. Bonds were Irregular. Total sales, par value, $2,165,000. United States bonds were all unchanged on call. CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS. Closing Sales. High. Low. bid. Adams Express 2M Amalgam.

Bradstreet's tomor row will eay: Fall trade has still further expanded; buy ers are in all leading markets in large num bers and are operating freely despite tem porary checks caused by hot or rainy weather. The came ts largely true of industrial opera tions, which go forward with a steadily in creasing volume of output and with available capacity in leading lines booked far ahead. A heavy Spring wheat outturn and a cotton crop next to the largest ever gathered are in sight. Railway tonnage is of enormous volume. The record for August being the best ever attained in that period. Despite marked ad ditions to equipment, a car shortage of more or leas Importance Is not unlikely later. Business failures in the United States for the week ending August 23, number 155 against 148 last week, and 176 In the like week of 1905.

Heavy Increase in Building Permits Outside pf Kew York. NEW YORK. Aug. 24. R. G. Dunn Co. 'a weekly review of trade tomorrow will say: Wall street provided the only important de velopment In the business situation during the past week. Prices of eecurltles rose within an average of $2 per share of the high record established last January, while the general public became interested to an extent that lifted money rates for all periods to the legal maximum. Owing to a few exceptionally large under takings last year in this city, the total value of all building permits issued In July was slightly smaller than a year ago, but out side of New York there was a heavy Increase. Railway earnings in August ehow an aver age gain of 12.1 per cent over last year's figures, while foreign commerce at this port for the last week provided gains of $2,275,692 In imports and $1,446,521 in exports, as com pared with 1905.
