THE 3IOKNING OREGONIAN. THURSDAY. AUGUST SO, 10S. 15 BARK TRADE BETTER Improvement Shown in Market for Cascara. SMALL CROP ON COAST Peelers, Discouraged by Low Prices, Turned Their Attention to Other Pursuits Condition of English Hop Crop. CASCARA BARK Market Improve after long dull period. HOPS Pamplfs of fuggles received. WHEAT Dull and weaker. FRUIT Peaches acarce and higher. BUTTER Front street auotaUons . advanced. BOGS Firm but unchanged, POULTRY Movement not o brisk. CHEESE Firm and active. After a long period of depression, the mar ket for cascara bark Is beginning to look up, and the proepecta now favor materially higher prices. The improvement la due principally to the fact that very little new bark was peeled on the Coast thia year. So far as can be learned not over two car were gath ered In Oregon and only four or five car were peeied In Washington.. Thla ia a very small harvest as compared with . former season when high price have ruled In the market. Low values were largely responsible for the lack of Interest shown this Summer by peelens, and the high prices paid for labor In. other pursuit kept men out of the woods, who. In previous seasons, spent much time in gather ing bark. Late advices from the Eat Indi cate a renewed Inquiry for cascara, as the available supply there hae been much re duced by the large consumption of medicine this year. The local quotation on new bark in small quantities Is Si cents, and A cent Is quoted on new bark In car lots. Bark peeled in 1904 and 1005 Is worth 4 to 5 centa. FIRST HOP SAMPLES RECEIVED. Early Fuggles Arrive From Lane County. English Crop Prospects. Several samples of Oregon fuggles have reacnea tnis market rrom Lane county, where baling of this early variety of hops Is now under way. No opening price on fuggles has been made yet. California is producing fuggles this year for the first time In Its hl3tory. The London Standard, of Aueust 10 con tained the following interesting report on bop crop prospects In England: For the first time this season we are able to report a slight improvement in the condi tion of the hop plantations more .particu larly so in Kent and the Midland counties. Soon the pickers will be making their way to the plantations, but In greatly reduced num bers, for it is questionable . if employment will be found for more than half the usual number, or If the number will be so great as that. From almost every standpoint it has been a most disappointing season. The most persistent attack of the hop aphis or "tty" that has been known for 30 or 40 year has hd to be battled with, and in spite of all efforts- and considerable outlay the "fly" has proved the victor; would that we could state it to be otherwise. The hot sun of last I week has brought about a perceptible I change, the burr is now well out, and some i optimistic growers see possible chances of a yield of 1000 pounds per 1 acre. We very much doubt this; excejjt In a few exceptional cases. 400 to 5K pounds would seem more likely figures, whilst there are many planta tion where not half these quantities will be gathered. There is yet plenty of time for further loss from mould, which is plentiful, and the climatic conditions at the time of writing are such as will "suit it admirably. Very disheartening reports come to hand from Herefordshire; there seems a general consensus of opinion that few, if any, plan tations will show a yield much over 21)0 pounds per acre, whilst not a few will fall below that figure. The "Watervllle (N. Y.) Time of August 24 said: Humphreys are being picked this week and by Monday work In the late crop will be general, it having ripened very fast in the past two weeks. Some growers of the late varieties are picking them this week. The Humphreys are coming d' wn very well and in fine condition. We have heard of no sales of these. The late yards are still in such a condition that former estimates of an ex cellent crop In yield and quality are still Justified. It doesn't seem as if anything could hurt them now with the harvest fco near. One grower has sold one-half his crop at 20 cents. WHEAT MARKET WEAKENS. Millers Have Apparently Bought All the Grata They Need for the Present. The wheat market has become very quiet In the last few days. The millers who fur nished most of the activity at the opening of lh onrtn a r nrjtrt trail v nut nf It now. evi dently having provided for their early re quirements and some of them may ' have taken on more than they needed at the higher prices. At any rate, there is hardly any buying now and in the absence of de mand prices have eased off until 66 cents track is quoted here for club and 69 cents for bluestem. These are export prices, but as there is no foreign inquiry, the shippers are doing no more than the miller. Even the California situation doe not offer any encouragement for active trading in the near future. In the opinion of some of the local grain merchants prices here must fall away a full 4 cents more before the market gets on a satisfactory business basis. They figure that Coast price are that far out of plumb with the Eastern market and until the parity I restored normal conditions will not prevail. An equal advance at Chicago would answer the purpose Just a well, but they would be surprised should that market gain much In the face of crop conditions. FRONT-STREET BUTTER ADVANCES. Best Brand Are Quoted Vp to City Cream ery Price. Top grades of outside creamery ' butter, handled by Front-street commission. firms, were advanced to 27 cents yesterday. Other grades were quoted on the street down to 24 cents. Most of the city creameries held at 714 cents and all will probably reach that mark today. A strong market can be looked for until after the Fall rains begin. The cheese market Is firm at unchanged prices with a good local and shipping demand. There were no new developments in the egg situation yesterday. The range of price quoted wa not eo wide and .nost of the day's business was done around 23 4 and 24 centa. It is said that a considerable quantity of Eastern eggs re being worked off as Oregon, and a most of the imported eggs are of good quality, no complaint is heard. Receipt of poultry were light again yester day and though the demand was not very brisk, nearly all the arrival were moved. Bank Clearings.

Grapes were plentiful, a lot being carried over from the previous day. Two car of watermelon arrived In the morn ing, making eight car for the two days, nearly all of which were eold.

WILL NOT JOifl G9HE SALE3I DEAIiERS WILIj TAKE CARE OF THEIR CONTRACTS. Flatly Refuse to Assist Portland Hop Firms In Keeping Growers to Agreements. 6ALEM, Or.. Aug. 29. (Special.) Salem hopdealera have flatly refused to bo into a pool with Portland dealers for the purpose of bringing suits to enforce contracts on this year's crop. This determination was reached after an informal discussion among dealers; It seems that a firm of Portland dealers holds a number of contracts at 8 to 10 cents with growers who are renters and who, not being financially responsible, are threatening to violate their contracts. The situation was presented to Salem dealers as one in which the buyers have a common interest and it was proposed that Salem and Portland buy ers combine in employing lawyers and pay ing the cost of enforcing all contracts. After considering the matter the Salem dealers concluded that they have no contracts that are likely to be violated and hence they have no Interest In the proposed litigation. Only one deal In hops was made here to day, that by Lachmund & Pincus, who bought the Clifford & BrownN crop of about 20.000 pounds at SO cents. LIVESTOCK MARKETS.

' UNDERTONE IS GOOD Stocks Little Affected by Ad verse Conditions. MANY SUPPORTING ORDERS Adrances in Hill Issues and Union Pacific Drive Against Reading Followed by a Recovery Call Money Higher. NEW YORK. Aug. 29. In the face of fur ther adverse conditions, such as the Philadel phia failure and heavier, drains on local financial resources, it must be said that to day's stock market for the greater part of the session exhibited an unexpectedly strong undertone. This condition was brought about largely by the heavy volume of supporting orders with which business opened, coupled With assurances that the harm wrought by the closing of the Philadelphia Institution would be almost entirely local in its effect. Nevertheless, the Inferences drawn from this last event, following so soon after similar occurrences In Boston, Chicago and elsewhere, left a painful Impression. The ease with which early offerings were taken bespoke support of an unusually strong character, but served to heighten the im pression that the so-called big interests have yet a great deal of stock to market. Pennsyl vania and Reading were pressed for sale In large quantities at the outset. Pennsyl vania scored an inttlal gain, but Reading, which was under pressure. - made a decline. Other conspicuous features of the opening were St. Paul and Canadian Pacific, the for mer selling with Us dividend and "Tights" off and showing a gain of almost three points. Canadian Pacific continued Its activity of the previous day, soon advancing to 179, a six point gain, but for more or less patent reasons the rise attracted little attention. The Hill stocks were strong, presumably on the publication of an unconfirmed re port that an ore deal with the United States Steel Corporation had -been fully ratified. Great Northern preferred advanced to the high est price of the present movement, and North ern Pacific was materially stronger. The Steel issue, naturally reflected the strength of these stocks, though In lesser degree. Sales In the first 15 minutes were about 225. 0O0 shares, with Reading contributing the largest share. The market quieted before the end of the first hour, but not before another drive against Reading lent that stock lower than before. Recovery was soon made under the lead of Union Pacific, which advanced to the highest price of the week, the movement being again accompanied by the now famil iar St. Paul story. By noon trading became comparatively dull, with Atchison's new high record the most noteworthy feature. The late session developed no marked ten dency either way until the last hour, when call loans advanced to six per cent with a further weakening in exchange to 483.70. This latter was one of the most significant features of the day and gave rise to fresh rumors of gold Imports. The drop In ex change resulted largely from heavy offerings of finance bills by foreign banking Interests, which speedily availed themselves of the flurry In call money. There was general sell ing of these bills and the proceeds were prompt ly lent at the higher rates. Despite the rise in money, the market gath ered renewed energy in the final trading, the feature being Reading, which advanced over five points from the low point, while Pennsyl vania moved up smartly and the remainder of the active group gained a point or more. Trading; was active at the close, which was strong and generally at the best prices of the day. Exoluolve of the $750,000 transferred to San Francisco today, the banks have already lost almost $3,000,000 to the sub-Treasury for the week. Aside from the freer offerings by foreign bankers there was no appreciable chanae in time money rates. Bonds were Irregular. Total sales, par value. $3,485,000. United States bonds were all un changed on call. CLOSING! STOCK QUOTATIONS. Closing Sales. High. Imw. bid.

Prices Boosted in Order to Make Wholesale Distribution of Stock Profitable. Writing from New York under date of Au gust 25. Henry Clews says of Wall street con ditions and prospects: .-Two striking facts are noticeable in the stock market. . First, an extraordinary com bination of favorable circumstances, and, sec ond, the undoubted purpose of powerful finan cial interests to take every advantage of these circumstances possible. Without going Into the already familiar details about good crops, satisfactory business prospects, the great ac tivity In Industry, etc., the present situation Is probably the most remarkable In the his tory of Wall street. Not in the memory of the oldest operator has there been a time when the financial skies were so universally bright or so free of clouds. The plans of our large operators, therefore, need cause no surprise; they are the natural sequence of the times. While their methods may have Involved them in an outburst of criticism, their objects are the same as those pursued by all other men In gainful employment. They have large amounts of stocks to sell, and the probabilities of -finding a profitable market are beyond their most hopeful dreams. There Is nothing unusual, therefore, In their pulling to gether for this purpose. Just now their prin cipal argument is that of Increased dividends, such talk being stimulated by the large earn ings of both railroads and industrials. When this line of argument is exhausted, others, such as new deals, etc., will follow. Success In the present bull movement depends entirely upon the extent to which the public Joins. Hitherto the latter has been exceedingly apa thetic, partly because very skeptical at the present high prices and partly because they have frequently found better employment tor money elsewhere. As to the future of -the market. It is evi dently within the power of those in control to carry It up to a still higher level, and skillful tactics may bring success. Just now optimism Is rampant, bearish factors are en tirely ignored, and the. market is stiffly keyed up to the distributing point. In our opinion, while the opportunities are tempting, the sit uation is a dangerous one. Investors are practically out of the market, and speculative operations should only be conducted with ex treme care and ample margins. The Pacific men in the market (I don't mean In temperament, but those associated with the Pacific roads), have for a long time past worked the market In order to buy cheap, knowing their ability to originate a big factor by increasing dividends. The stim ulating effect having been accomplished, ac cumulation by the same parties has ceased, and they now occupy the position of distribu tors of their vast holdinKS at very remunera tive prices, and the public is invited to par take of their generosity. My advice, however, is to abstain from buying dear, and wait for the time when stocks can be bought cheap, after the fashion of the "Pacific" men. Our future market will be a good, trading one for fluctuations, but It must be quick In and out, like taking a cold bath in Winter. Dried Fruit at New York. NEW YORK, Aug. 29.

Have your abstracts made by the Security BOND WOULD BE IMMENSE g standard oil Attorney Says It May Not Be Required. CHICAGO, Aug. 29. The question ol whether the sStandard Oil Company will be required to give bond for Its appear ance on each of the indictments returned Monday by the Federal grand juries on charges of accepting rebates from rail roads has not been settled. A bond of $25,000 was filed by Judge Bethea when the first intllctment was returned against the company several weeks ago. The In dictment was on 19 counts, and If the same ratio la maintained with the 6428 counts In the ten returned on Monday, the required bond would be $S,o."0,000. "I don't think bond will be required," said John S. Miller, attorney for the Standard Oil Company yesterday. "So far as I have been able to discover, there Is no provision requiring It when a corporation Is Indicted. The Standard Oil Company is not going to run oft to Europe. It Is different when an Indi vidual la charged with crime." Celebration at Ossaw atomic OSSAWATOMIE, Kan., Aug. 29. A semi-centennial celebration of the bat tle of Ossawatomle was begun here to day in this, the one-time home of John Brown. While the battle of Ossawat omle was but a skirmish when com pared with the many conflicts that followed. It was here that the advo cates of abolition made their first stand against slavery, and more than ordinary interest, therefore, surrounds the place. Business houses and resi dences are decorated . with flags and bunting, and hundreds of persons are here to attend the affair. Today Rep resentative Charles P. Scott, of Iola, delivered the principal address. Vice President Charles w. Fairbanks will arrive tomorrow morning and speak. An Impressive service was conducted at the monument of John Brown. . A chorus of 60 voices sang the "Star Spangled Banner," which was taken up by 4000 spectators. The cavalrymen, drawn up In line, saluted, and a cheer which echoed from hill to hill was sent up. Then the National colors were run up on a flagpole 80 feet high, after which Rev. C. K. Creager offered a prayer and the crowd marched to the grove on the battle ground.
