Portland has long been supplying Siberia
with the best apples that country ever saw
and now has commenced to ship watermel
ons, grapes and pears over there. The W. B.
Olafke Company will today forward two car
loads of assorted fruit to Seattle that will
be shipped across the Pacific on the big
Great Northern steamship Dakota. The lot
will be trans-shipped at Nagasaki or Kobe
for Vladivostok. D. Yogdgoglou, of Vladi
vostok, has superintended the packing of the
shipment.
This venture Is in the nature of an experi
ment. It is known that apples can be sent
to Siberia In perfect condition, but it re
mains to be seen whether the grapes and
melons will stand the long Journey. Great
cure has been taken in packing the fruit,
and If It Is properly handled on the steam
ships It Is almost certain to arrive at Vladi
vostok In good condition.
The grapes have been packed In kegs,
after the Spanish method. Odorless, kiln
dried, cedar sawdust is used for packing.
Mr. Glafke tried to secure a quantity of cork
dust, but could not get It in time. 'The
sawdust will prevent the grapes from getting
bruised and will also take up any moisture.
The varieties of grapes packed are Muscats,
Tokays and blacks.
The first Oregon watermelons of the sea
son will go in the shipment. They came
down from The Dalles yesterday and are of
good size and well matured. The melons
are packed with straw in banana crates,
three melons to the crate.
Only Hood River apples were selected by
Mr. Glafke to fill this order. They are
Gravenstelns, Kings and Alexanders, and are
the best that could be found. They were
packed in regular apple boxes and each box
was burlapped. The pears are Clapp'a Fav
orite and are carefully wrapped and put up
In half-boxes. A large lot of boxed onions
was also Included in the shipment.
It will require about 22 days for the goods
to reach Vladivostok and if they arrive in
satisfactory condition the shipment will be
followed by many more. .
INFECTED PEARS CONDEMNED.
County Fruit Inspector "Kerosenes" Two
Lots Shipped From Fisher's Landing.
County Fruit Inspector Delch found' an
otner bad lot of . pears, 40 boxes, on the
"Washington-street dock yesterday morning,
which he condemned. The pears were in
fected with San Jose scale and were about
the worst-appearing lot that has come In
this season. They were shipped In by farm
ers living near Fisher's Landing.
Monday morning the Inspector condemned
62 boxes on the dock that came from the
same section. Both lots were for East Side
canneries.
OREGON WATERMELONS ARRIVE.
Carload Comes in From The Dalles Peach
Train Late. 4l
A carload of Oregon watermelons from
The Dalles, the first of the season, arrived
yesterday afternoon. The melons came In
competition with a large supply of Call
fornias, but sold well. The Southern Express
was late, but when it did arrive It was dif
ficult to handle the Immense quantity of
peaches brought up. The demand for peaches
was exceedingly strong and prices were well
maintained. A quantity of California Tokay
grapes were on the Express.
The potato market rules quiet now, as the
shipping demand Is practically over for the
present. Offerings continue fairly large.
EGGS AT A WIDE RANGE.
Actual Values About One Cent Higher Than
on Monday.
The supply of eggs ran very low In the
wholesale district yesterday. The demand
was strongknd prices made a further ad
vance. Exact quotations are hard to give, as
sales were made at a wide range, but prob
ably 23 24 cents would represent nearly
toe real values. Some large lots were
moved at the former figure. Several in
stances were reported where single cases
brought 25 cents.'t The tone la very strong
and 25 cents will doubtless be the market
price soon.' A wholesale grocer in the North
End, who did not read The Oregonlan and
was not aware that conditions had changed,
'sold all of his forenoon receipts at a fiat
price of 21 cents. By this time he probably
knows what he lost.
The-poultry market was also strong with
an active, demand and only moderate re
ceipts. Butter moved freely at the advance made
yesterday by the city creameries. Some of
the plants sold out their entire make before
the day closed. Receipts on Front street
were very light. An advance in the best
grades of outside creamery will be an
nounced today.
ENGLISH HOP ACREAGE.
Official Government Estimate Shows Reduc
tion of 2245 From Last Year.
A London cable received by Isaac Pincus &
Eons, of Tacoma, said that the official esti
mate of the English hop acreage, issued yes
terday, shows a reduction from last year of
21M.- acres. The acreage now In hops ""In
England is 46.723, the smallest acreage lu
the last quarter of a century. In addition to
this reduction the crop has suffered worse
this season from lice than for many years
past, so it would not be surprising If the
ield were Indeed under the low estimated
that have been made.

SOME HOPGROWERS ALARMED.
Owners of Small Yards Expect Trouble in
I Getting Pickers.
OREGON CITY, Or.. Aug. 28. (Special.)
Alarmed that they will be unable to get
enough help with which to pick their hops,
several growers, owning yards as far up the
Valley as Gervals. were in the city today en
gaging pickers on whom they may rely.
Owners of small yards anticipate trouble
tnls year in procuring pickers whose disposi
tion to seek employment in the large yards
will be the greater this year by reason of
the fact that in the consolidation of some
yards the number of the larger yards has
been Increased. I
R. R. Lee, who owns a yard in the south
end of Clackamas County, opposite Butte
vllle, reports that he refused an offer of 21
cents a few days ago for his crop. In dis
cussing the outlook, Mr. Lee said he does
not expect the Clackamas County crop to
average more than 800 or 900 pounds per
acre, the predicted decreased yield being due,
he claims, to the long siege of hot weather
in July, with no rain, together with Im
proper cultivation by many growers.
Mr. Lee says that fully two-thirds of the
hop crop in his section of the county is
contracted, the consideration in a majority
of cases being 8 or 9 cents, seldom exceed
ing 12 cents. Not a few growers, he says,
were caught two and three years ago on
three-year contracts that were written for
about 9 cents.
LARGE HOP SALE AT 20 CENTS.
Independence Grower Disposes of, 100,000
Pounds to Salem Finn.
SALEM," Or.. Aug. 28. (Special.) Lach
mund & Pincus today bought 100.000 pounds
of tne C. A. McLaughlin crop at Independ
ence at 20 cents. This is part of the crop
of 395 acres In which Joseph Hlrshberg has
a partnership Interest.
Lachmund & Pincus received a cable from
England today saying that government re
ports show a decrease of 2245 acres in the
hop area, as compared with last year. A
telegram from New York to the same firm
says that 25 cents Is being freely paid in
that state to growers for 1906 hops.
Sheep Sale at North Yakima.
NORTH YAKIMA, Wash., Aug. 28. (Spe
cial.) Ernest Burg today sold to the
Wright Bros, and U. Hamilton 8000 sheep.
The purchase price Is not given out, but will
amount to about $30,000. Burg leaves to
morrow night for Walla Walla, where he
has arranged to purchase a herd of 1000
sheep. '

CLOSES AT THE HIGHEST
WHEAT MARKET AT CHICAGO
SHOWS STRENGTH AT END.
Sentiment Is Bearish Most of the
Day and Volume of Trad
ing Is Small.
CHICAGO. Aug. 28. Sentiment In the
wheat pit was bearish for the greater part
of the day and the volume of trading was
small. , Lower cables and an absence of rain
in the Spring 'wheat country were the chief
Influences. The feature of the market was
the persistent liquidation of the September
option by local holders. During the last 15
minutes of trading the market became more
animated, there being a good demand by
shorts. A decrease of 30 per cent In primary
receipts for today as compared with the
same day last year was one reason for the
Improved demand. The tone at the close
was firm, prices being at the highest point
of the day. December opened a shade 14 c
lower at 74e to 747414c, sold oft to 73c
and then advanced to 7414c, a gain of 14c
The corn market was Inclined to be weak
early in the day on selling by cash houses.
The market closed firm, December 14 c up
at 44S4414C.
Trading in oats was quiet and the tone
was easy. December closed unchanged at
S0c.
Provisions were weak because of liberal
receipts of live hogs. At the close Septem
ber pork was off 2Hc, lard was down 714c
and ribs were 1214 15c lower.

Reactionary Tendency in the
Stock Market.
LOSSES IN ACTIVE LIST
Decline Is the Kesnlt of the Troubles
of the Real Estate Trust Com
pany of Philadelphia.
Close Is Heavy.
NEW YORK. Aug. 28. For the first time
since the Pacific dividend became a matter of
public knowledge, the stock market today be
gan business in an orderly and rational man
ner. Trading opened In moderate volume, but
prices soon developed a reactionary tendency.
This seeming change of sentiment was as
cribed to a variety of causes, chief among
them being the money situation, disappoint
ment at the absence of gold from Europe and
Increasing distrust at the failure of many re
ported "deala to materialize.
" Local monetary conditions showed no im
provement. Call money opened at 8 per cent
while time rates held at practically T per
cent for all periods, with the supply dimin
ishing. Another batch of Australian gold was
engaged for Import during the day. Exchange
weakened further to 4.8410 early in the day.
The market bore strong evidence of pressure
in many quarters, among the early weak Issues
being United 6tates Steel, Smelting and Read
ing. On the other hand, Canadian Pacific was
pronouncedly strong, advancing over four
points In ths first hour. During the greater
part of this period, the market sagged, but
toward noon, trading continued under the
active lead of Atchison. St. Paul and Amalga
mated Copper. Atchison advanced to a new
high record and board-room gossip had It that
not only would the dividend be Increased to
6 per cent, but there was also talk of an
issue of new stock at par.
The movement In sugar, one of yesterday's
features, flattened, out even before it became
known that only the regular dividends had
been declared.
Early In the afternoon, when the market
wu exhibiting Its strongest tone, heavy sell
ing of Reading and Union Pacific started
a downward movement, which soon took In
the entire list. The cause of the sell
ing was considerable of a mystery until It
became known that a Philadelphia trust com
pany was In difficulties. Reports as to the
magnitude of the Institution's liabilities and
Its attendant effect were of a character to ex
cite great alarm and the occasion was utilized
to advantage by ths shorts. Prices declined
from 1 to 814 points, with only partial re
coveries In most Issues. Much of the .selling
of Reading and Pennsylvania, as well as of
other stocks, was believed to be for account of
the embar rased Philadelphia company, or in
terests connected therewith.
The market remained heavy to the close,
practically all the active Issues recording
lowest prices of the day in the final hour.
There seemed absolutely no support in any
quarter, the big Interests having apparently
decided to let the movement run its course.
The principal net losses were: Pennsylvania 3
points; Reading, 114; Union Pacific. 2; South
ern Pacific, 114: St. Paul. 1: Louisville
NashvUle, 2: Northern Pacific. 2; Colorado
Fuel, 2 ; Amalgamated Copper and Ana
conda, 4. London's participation in this market
was a feature. Americans, the Harrlman
issues excepted, closed strong."
Bonda were easy. Total sales, par value,
$3,170,000. United States bonds were all un
changed on call.

C. A. Stewart, general agent for th

Tillamook County Fair and is enthusiastic:
over the future of that section. He was
struck with the adaptability of the Tilla
mook lands for the cultivation of root
crops of all kinds and predicts that with
the extension of the railroads to that
isolated region Portland will -not want for
a plentiful supply of first-class vegetables)
at low prices. He speaks very highly of
the progressiveness of the Tillamook peo
ple and was impressed with the showing
of blooded stock at the fair. That Tilla
mook County is a veritable garden spot
is the verdict of Mr. Stewart, who saw
it last week for the first time.
