The Eastern Oregon wool market has been
very quiet In the past week. Only a small
quantity of wool remains unsold, but the
holders of these lots are practically out of
the market. Most of them are holding for
higher prices than are at present offered,
evidently being Influenced In their views by
the firmness lately manifested In the East
ern markets.
Advices from Boston Indicate a fair de
gree of activity In No. 2 Eastern Oregon
wools in the past week with the sales In
volving several hundred bales. The price
was In the neighborhood of 25 cents. The
scoured cost was estimated at 63 to 65 cents.
Some statistics of the wool movement at
Pendleton this season are furnished by the
East Oregonian, which says:
Of the 1006 crop of wool there have been
already baled In Pendleton 5,000,000 pounds,
or 133 carloads, estimating 75 bales of an
average weight of 500 pounds, to the average
car. Of the above amount the Judd & Root
Company has baled 2,500,000 pounds and has
at this time not less than 650,000 pounds on
hand unbaled. The Furnish Company has
also baled 2.500.0OO pounds, but has none,
or at least very little, on hand unbaled.
The aggregate for both establishments, of
5,000,000 pounds, has been shipped almost to
the last bale, and practically all went to
Boston and to Hartford, Conn.
The Judd & Root Company handled from
800,000 to 900,000 pounds from Wallowa
County, the balunce coming from Umatilla,
Morrow and Gilliam Counties, for the most
part. Of course the larger part of the bal
ance of about 1,600,000 pounds was raised
in Umatilla County.
One million pounds of the wool put
through the Furnish baler was raised In
Umatilla County, the balance in Baker and
Wallowa Counties, and considerable .from
Asotin and adjacent counties in Washing
ton. The latter is generally called "Lewis
ton" wool.
In addition to the above as the record for
this uncompleted season, the Judd St Root
Company has scoured a. 500,000 pounds.
The season lacks approximately a month
of being at an end. but none of .the man
agers would venture an estimate of the
amount of wool that will yet be brought-in.
Reviewing market conditions In Boston,
the Commercial Bulletin says: .
It U a firm market on the whole. Neither
In the talk of leading merchants nor In the
sales as reported Is there any evidence of
weakness. Strong efforts to break prices
have been and still are being made, but so
far without success. Wools suitable for
worsted purposes are held with especial con
fidence, and holders refuse to consider seri
ously some of the bids' that are being sub
mitted. There are cited instances where
bids within half a cent of asking prices have
been turned down on good-sized lines. Bids
a cent too low, according to the views of
holders, are scorned.
CLUB WHEAT OFFERED 31 ORE FREELY.
Premium of Four Cents Is Paid for Blue
stem Weekly Statistics.
, With the decline In wheat prices, a fair
amount of business has developed and were
buyers more disposed to take hold a good
deal of activity would follow. The dealers,
however, want to know where they can place
the wheat before they take on much. The
spread between club and bluestem is widen
ing and now amounts to 4 cents. This is due
principally to the fact that very little blue
stem la being sold, while club Is being offered
more freely.

EGGS MOVING I PWARD.
Market Advances Another Cent and Prom
ises to Go tit 111 Hither.
Eggs advanced another cent yesterday af
ternoon and promise to go still higher. Re
ceipt were moderate and the demand exceed
ingly wrong.
There was not much change In the poultry
market, but the undertone was Inclined to be
weak. Receipts continue to show some gain
each day. but It Is expected the established
prices will be maintained for the remainder
of the week.
The butter market Is very firm and an all
around advance Is looked for. All the city
creameries are at 27 cents and most of them
are abort. On Front street a few brands are
offered at 25 cents, but the general price Is
27 cents.
CHEAP FRUIT STILL ABUNDANT.
Peaches Are the Only Firm Article on the
List.
The congestion In the fruit market Is be
ing relieved somewhat each day, but normal
conditions have sot yet been restored. Job
bers fear that should the weather become
stormy for a few days conditions will be even
worse than they have been. Another large lot
of overripe Bartlett pears were on hand yes
terday and as they had to be moved price
were no consideration. The best were let go
at 25 cents and the poorest at 10 cent. Some
scrubby cantaloupes were sold at 10 cents,
but choice, marketable stock found sale at
$1 to $1.25.
The peach market was firm. Receipt were
fairly large, but there waa a atrong demand
which will doubtless hold up until the end
of the season- Quotation ranged from 75
cents to tl. Tomatoes continue to be a drug
on the market and now bring only 12 to 25
centa.
HOPG ROWERS AlARMIO.
Change In Weather Causes Apprehension.
Market Dull.
The showers that began falling yesterday
evening were welcomed by everyone except
the hopmen. Much will depend on the weath
er In the next fortnight. A day or two of
rain may not cause much trouble except to
delay picking, but what the growers fear
most is that If a good hard rain once e tarts,
It may continue for too long a time.
A report waa received from Aurora yester
day that lice bad been found os the vlnea
there, having bred during the cloudy weather.
This report caused some apprehension that the
pest might spread under the present condi
tions. There was nothing done In the local market.
A cable sent to London offering hops at 17
centa brought the response that lower prices
must be quoted before offers would be con
sidered. .

OREGON - CITY, Sept, B.-MSpeclal.) A.
McConnell and William S. Flynn. of Wllson
vllle. report that the yield of hops in that
section will fall 25 per cent short of an aver
age crop. They say the disastrous effects of
the long dry Summer are disclosed to a sur
prising degree as the picking of the crop
proceeds. The yield Is exceedingly light and
this Is attributed to the long period of hot
weather, with absolutely no moisture, at a
time when rain was essential to the proper
growth and maturing of the vines.
An unusually large number of chattel mort
gages, covering this year's hop crop, are being
filed in the office of the County Recorder here.
It is significant In this connection that rarely
Is a contract filed. This is taken to indicate
that growers are largely abandoning the con
tracting business, and for harvesting money
are resorting to this course as a means for
raising the necessary funds. The mortgage
usually bears 8 per cent Interest and the bank
or individual making the loan Is protected
from possible loss through dishonest practices
on the part of the borrower in secretly dis
posing of the crop and pocketing the pro
ceeds, by a provision in the instrument which
stipulates that Immediately following the harvesting-
of the crop the bales are to be de
livered at a designated place. While the
sale of the crop is optional with the grower
as to time and price, still, the sale cannot be
closed without the knowledge of the man
making the loan, who is in this way reason
ably certain of getting his principal and In
terest without any inconvenience to himself
or possibility of losing in the transaction.

SPECULATION IS CHECKED
Stocks Resist the Influence of the
Money Stringency, Showing Con
fidence That Relief Will Be
Promptly Forthcoming.
NEW YORK. Sept. 8. The continued strin
gency of the money market kept the specu
lation In stock in check today, as Is shown,
by the shrinkage in the total of shares sold
during the day at the stock exchange. There
was some depression in the market, but its)
moderate proportions. In view of the unpro
pitious circumstances, was accepted as nega
tively favorable.
First loans on call were made at 17 per
cent and the rate ran up almost Immediately
to 2414 per cent, and in the afternoon to 40
per cent. Many of the banks asked 20 per
cent as the renewal rate, on standing call
loans. The local banks were practically out
of the money market in the sense of extend
ing any new credits and the supply for fresh
borrower came almost entirely from out-of-town
banks.
The resistance shown by stocks to the in
fluence of the money stringency during the
mid-session was due to the confidence that
relief would be promptly forthcoming for the
money market. This professed confidence was
based mostly on oonjecture. The favorite
measure pointed to in the current surmise
was action by the United States Treasury
Department. The prevailing stringency in
money -was urged as Justifying action by the
suthorltles to release the Idle surplus funds
at the command of the Treasury. Hopes were
expressed that the Secretary of the Treasury
would resort again to the measure employed
last April for facilitating gold Imports when
Government funds were advanced to National
Banks which intended to make gold imports,
thus saving Interest charges during the period
of transit, but the Secretary's order to that
effect did not become publicly known until
after the close of the market. Today $1,800,000
was transferred to San Francisco.
On the side of the foreign exchange market,
the influences were mixed. Some of the en
gagements reported yesterday of gold ship
ments to New York were contradicted today.
Time loans for 90 days advanced to 8 per
cent and the six months' rate was 614 to 1
per cent.
A strong rebound In American Smelting, on
the appearance of the annual report, sympa
thetic strength In Amalgamated Copper and a
fresh rise In Union Pacific were the sus
taining features in the market and the late
advances were fairly well sustained until the
closing, in spite of a rate of 40 per cent tor
call money...
Bonds were Irregular, total sales par value.
$2,292,000. United States 2s advanced per

FUTURE OF STOCK H
DEPENDS ON TACTICS EM
PLOYED BY BIG LEADERS.
Large Quantity of Securities Yet to
Be Distributed Weakest Fea
ture Is Money Market.
Henry Clews, of New York, writes of Wall
street prospects under date of September 1
as follows:
As to the future of the market, that de
pends entirely upon the tactics employed by
the blgr leaders. Up to date they have not
effected a distribution of stocks sufficient to
satisfy their expectations. Their policy
seems to be to make an Irregularly advanc
ing market, thus promoting activity In trad
ing, encouraging .outside buying, and skill
fully avoiding dangerous manipulation. Thus
far they have been exceptionally successful,
and their position has been much strength
ened by the fact that stocks are adjusting
themselves to monetary conditions by
means of Increased dividends. Bonds or in
vestments with fixed returns cannot effect
such an adjustment, hence their compara
tive weakness.
Of course a big break must be expected as
soon as these corporations are placed in a
position where, through poor business,, they
will be obliged to lower dividends. Such a
contingency, liowever, is not yet In sight
and cannot be looked for while present con
ditions of business activity last. The weak
est feature In the speculative situation is in
the money market. Those who lead the
present movement profess entire confidence
in their ability to prevent undue stringency,
but such promises must be accepted with re
serve. Prudent operators will dispose of
their long stocks on the rallies hereafter
rather than buy at these prices. The fail
ure of a trust company last week engaged In
real estate operations was an Incident of
much suggestiveness. Fortunately, the ef
fect was only momentary. Yet the real es
tate situation in general Is a weak one,
owing to excessive and Imprudent specula
tion. The best feature connected with this Inci
dent Is that it was the first serious setback
in the real estate boom which has been rag
ing all over the Nation, tying up Indefinitely
vast sums of money. This disaster may
prove a wholesome warning and check in
stitutions from making loans on inflated val
ues in real estate hereafter. If It Is pro
ductive of that result some good will be
accomplished Inuring to the benefit of the
money market.

AVith Gasoline.
WICHITA, Kan., Sept. 5. A special to
the Eagle from McPherson says: While
filling a balloon preparatory to making;
an ascension. Jack: Leroy was fatally
burned as a result of the explosion of
the balloon, when gasoline was thrown
on the fire.
Burning from head to foot, he broke
through the crowd of terror-stricken
spectators. Several men caught him and
tore his clothes from him, but he was
so severely burned that no hopes of his
recovery are entertained.
Leroy was working for J. C. Laprl, who
fell from a balloon In Wichita a short
time ago. Laprl was also the employer
of Mrs. May Napier, who was killed in
Wichita In a similar manner last week.
