MEATS Veal and pork In demand.
News was received from Washington yes
terday that hops in the western part of the
state are suffering from a very serious attack
of red spider. The presence of the pest was
detected on the preceding day in several dif
ferent aectlons, but the rain prevented a close
Investigation from being made then. Yester
day morning the yards were examined thor
oughly and the worst fears proved true. Spi
der was found almost everywhere. Reports
lrom Puyallup, Ortlng and Chehalts all agreed
that the vermin was Increasing.
Considerable damage has already been done
by the spider, and If the weather continues
favorable for it, it is difficult to say where
it will end. The insects multiply with great
rapidity and In a remarkably short time can
ruin an entire yard or district. The weather
in' Western Washington yesterday was cer
tainly against the grower, as a heavy rain
atorm occurred in the afternoon. The scarcity
of pickers made matters even worse. Some
of the growers became discouraged, and, ac
cording to the reports received, a number of
them have already abandoned all intention
of picking their yards. It was said yesterday
after all the various reports from the west
ern part of the state had been canvassed that
not over two-thirds of the crop in Washington,
excluding the Yakima section, could be con
sidered as Bafe. This would imply that hop
men regard a third of the crop of Western
Washington as past redemption.
No indication of the presence of red spider
in Oregon has been found yet. The pest Is
practically unknown in this state, but if it
Is so abundant in the north it may have time
to develop here before the hops are gathered.
A few years ago spiders were found in sev
eral district up the valley, but disappeared
before they did much damage. When they
once arrive and climatio conditions are Just
right, it is exceedingly difficult to get rid of
them. Except for an occasional report of
lice, nothing has occurred In the Willamette
Valley yet to annoy growers, except the dif
ficulty of securing a sufficient number of
rlckers.
Picking is almost general in Oregon now.
The earliest returns received show rather un
even conditions. In several yards on the
East Bide the crop, as was predicted, is com
ing down light. The best results so far have
been made in A. J. Ray & Son's WUchhazel
yard. Picking began there Tuesday and up
to last night 18 acres had been picked. Mr.
Ray said the crop la turning out-10 per cent
heavier than last year. The boxes weigh three
pounds more than in the previous harvest. So
tar as can be seen the . quality Is good, with
no signs of lice, red spider or mold.
The Kentish Observer of August 23 has this
to say of the English hop crop:
As Indicated by our reports for many weeks
past, the hop crop this season will be a very
short one.- Whether it will equal that of 1904,
which was officially estimated at 262.330 cwts.
on 47.709 acres the smallest crop since 181)0
-r-seeras reasonably doubtful. ' Borne experts
put it as low as 250,000 cwts., while a few
others think it may total 300.000 cwts. The
probability is that it will be somewhere be
tween the highest and lowest figure. Although
the acreage returns for the present year have
not yet been Issued by the Board 'of Agricul
ture, it Is understood that they will show a
reduction of 1500 acres compared with 1905.
' "We notice that the Brewers' Journal,
whose reports are furnished by a special cor
respondent who personally Inspects the var
ious districts, says that 'there seems reason
to doubt whether the total yield will equal
the small crop of 1904 When the leading
organ of the brewing industry utters such a
dismal prophecy we may be sure that nothing
better can be said, if there was the least
prospect of anything more hopeful we should
expect to find it noted in Its columns.
"The outlook would no doubt have been
somewhat brighter If heavy rain had fallen
a fortnight ago; the weak and blighted bine
would then have made some recovery and per
haps have grown another hundredweight per
acre more than it will do now. The nro
longatlon of the drought has rendered it im
possible for a very large proportion of the
worst bine to produce anything more thun a
couple of hundredweights per acre of poor
quality hops, whils in many Instances the
quantity will be so small that growers will
not pick at all. In the best grounds the av
erage yield will probably range from 8 to
15 cwt. per acre, and hers and there a ton
per acre may be obtained, and it red mold
does not set in, and the hops keep well,
there should be some very tine quality. A
very large percentage of the crop, however,
will be of medium to Inferior quality."
Spider in Chehalls Tarda.
CHEHAL1S, Wash., Sept. . (Special.) Red
jplder has appeared in the hopyarda In and
about Chehalls. The pest to pretty evenly di
vided In this district, the majority of the
yards being more or less affected. The spi
ders have dona little material damage, very
slight, as compared with two years ago. They
attack only the weaker vines and on the
higher, dry ground. Picking has commenced.
There are plenty of pickers In this neigh
borhood. YIELD LIGHTER THAN ESTIMATED.
Hops Are Coming Down 40 Par Cent Short
In Some Marion County Yards.
SALEM. Or., Sept. 6. (Special.) Hon
ptcklng became general in this section today,
though in a few yards pickers have been at
work since Monday or Tuesday. Early re
ports indicate a much lighter yield than was
estimated a week ago. In some yards the
hops are coming down 40 per cent lighter than
anticipated. The general price for picking is
50 cents a box. though only 45 cents Is paid
In a number of the yards west of Brooks.
Lachmund A Plncus bought a crop of
primes. 100 bales, at 18 cents this evening,
but the name of the seller Is -withheld.
Clatsop County Contract.
ASTORIA. Sept. 8. (Special.) A contract
was filed in the County Clerk's office today
whereby W. E. Johnson, of Vesper, sells to
W. M. Hendershott, of Portland, his entire
crop of hops, estimated at 16.000 pounds, at
the rats of 14 cents per sound.
COUNTRY PRODUCE IS SLOWER,
firmness In Egg nod Butter Market Con
tinuesPoultry Unchanged.
The movement in country produce was not
-quite so brisk yesterday as it was earlier In
the week. The firmness of the egg market
continued, as receipts were exceedingly light.
6ales were reported at 25 to 26 cents, but
ome dealers wer holding for 274 cents.
though "it Is not known that any business wss
done at that Dries.
The weekly market letter of a Front-street
firm says of the poultry situation:
"Receipts have been pretty good this week,
and demand has also been very fair.' We
have had no trouble In getting rid of all
our goods, and are of the opinion that there
will also be a very fair demand the coming
week. Many people are returning from their
vacations and this stimulates the trade in
poultry. Hens are selling at about 14 cents
and Springs at the same price large, fat
Springs preferred. Geese are also selling fairly
well at 8 to 10 cents, and ducks seem to
have picked up a little at about 14 cents.
Turkey hens are in demand at 18 to 17 cents,
and some large Spring turkeys ' will sell for
a premium on these prices of from 3 to 5
cents. While, it Is likely that receipts of
poultry for the balance of this week will bo
pretty heavy, we think that we can safely
say that there will be a good demand next
week."
The butter market was firm, with the short
age in local stocks more marked than ever.
The tendency of the market is upward, but
the trade seems to be dlpperlng the advance-in
the fear that it will bring out storage butter
too soon.
PEACHES ARE VERY SCARCE.
Fruit Stocks Generally Are Being Reduced.
Tomatoes Steadier.
A fair degree of activity was reported in
the fruit market yesterday. Stocks were not
so heavy as on the preceding day and prices
generally were on a firmer basis,' though In a
tew lines values were still demoralized.
The scarcity of peaches .was the feature of
the market. Receipts from Southern Ore
gon were exceedingly light, and few came In
from other points. The season for California
watermelons and Casabas is practically over.
Six cars of California watermelons were on
the tracks yesterday and were being dlspoaett
of indiscriminately . to retailers and peddlers
at any old price. When they are worked oft
it will be smoother sailing with Oregon melons.
A mixed car of Casabas, melons and tomatoes
will be in today from Grant's Pass. Canta
loupes are working off slowly at various prices.
Fancy Fayettes bring $1.25 to $-1.50. but com
mon stock goes at buyers' figures.
The local supply of tomatoes was not so
heavy yesterday, and the market was steady
at 25 cents, with likelihood of going higher
today If receipts are not excessive. Some
choice celery was received from Salem and
brought 90 cents.
Dressed Meats Firm.
The market for dressed meats Is In very
good shape. Choice fat veal are In strong de
mand and prime stock readily sells at 8
cents. Large and ordinary carcasses are
cuoted at 5 to 7 cents. Good solid pork of
light to medium weight is firm at 8 to 8!?
cents.

MONEY GETS EASIER
Call Loan Rate at New York
Drops to 5 Per Cent. .
OFFERINGS FROM INTERIOR
Government Also Conies to the As
sistance of Wall Street by Pro
viding for Deposits Against
Gold Engagements. "
XEW YORK, Bept. 6. The stock market
today showed some stimulating effect from
the order of the Treasury Department permit
ting deposit of Government funds with Na
tional banks against engagements of gold for
Import. The effect was moderate, partly ow
ing to the selling to realize profits by those
who bought stocks on the confident assumption
that action was imminent by- the Secretary
of the Treasury for the relief of- the money
market and partly owing to the fact that
the call-money marjtet did not show the
expected relaxation as a result of the newsj)
As the measure of relief does not become
operative until next Monday, no actual In
crease of banking resources was immediately
supplied, but it was hoped by operators in
stocks that the assurance of new supplies, al
though delayed, would cause freer offerings
of credits and relieve the stringency at once.
When this was seen to be doubtful, the spec
ulation was inclined to take a waiting posi
tion. Good resistance was shown to any
selling pressure and prices were sustained by
tbe conspicuous strength of some of the spec
ulative leaders In the list of stocks.
No actual steps were announced to take
advantage of the facilities promised by th
Secretary of the Treasury to help the gold
movement. . Gold In transit to New York
next Monday will give the consignees the
right to the use of Government funds until
its arrival, as well as the gold engaged on or
after that date. The order makes no restric
tion on the time that may be required for
the receipt of the gold. If It has been actu
ally engaged or shipped. It was supposed
that, some of the recent accumulation of gold
In Lpndon by .undisclosed agencies has been
for New York account In expectation of the
Treasury action, which has been taken. In
M that case sufficient sums would be promDtly
available on Monday, when the Treasury or
der goes into effect, for use in New York.
There was much discussion of the probable
adeouacy . of this means to ease the money
market.
The time money market seemed to be un
affected by the news and loans for 60 and 90
days still commanded premiums equivalent
to 7 to 8 per cent, with six months money
lending at 6Vs to 7 per cent. The only lend
ers in any amount were foreign bankers. Yes
terday's $2,000,000 transfers to the interior
through the Sub-Treasury were offset' In the
dally statement of operations by extraordinary
Government disbursements to the amount of
$3,000,000, leaving that day's loss by the
banks only moderate. The Government insti
tution has taken from the banks since the
last bank statement, however, $4,923,000, and
$500,000 was deposited for transfer to Ban
Francisco today. '
The money stringency here Is bringing of
ferings in small amounts from widely sep
arated points In the interior, which make an
appreciable aggregate. New York exchange
at Chicago also recovered to 5 cents discount,
compared with 50 cents discount on Tuesday.
Reading bore the brunt of sustaining the
general market up to the later afternoon on
rumors that control of Baltlmbre 4 Ohio was
to be transferred to that company. The Great
Northern ore lands report was revived later
with effect on United States Steel and Great
Northern preferred, and a strengthening in
fluence on the whole market. When the de
mand for call loans had beenr satisfied, offer
ings of the unplaced remainder carried the
rate off from 25 per cent, the high rate of
the morning, to 5 per cent, where if. closed.
Bonds were heavy. Total sates, par value,
$3,152,000. United States bonds were un
changed on call.

BUT LATER IT RECOVERS
Stimulating Influence Near Close Is
Report of Export Movement at
New York Argentine
Shipments Small.
CHICAGO. Sept. 6. During the first half
of the session the market was decidedly
weak. The cause was the continued absence
of rain in the Spring wheat territory. On a
decline at Liverpool prices here dropped to
a new low record for the season. Late in
the day much of the loss was regained on
reports from New York that considerable
quantities of wheat had been taken there for
export. . A private estimate on the total
shipments of wheat for the week from
Argentine placed the amount at only 800.000
bushels. -This small movement lent strength
here. . The close was steady. December
opened unchanged to 4 c lower at 72 &
T2c. sold off to 7214c. and closed 4c off
at 72 c.
The corn market was weak the greater
part of the day because of selling Induced
by the continued fine weather. Th close
was steady. Final quotations on December
wFere a shade lower at 42c.
Proat-taklng In oats depressed that mar
ket early, tout later on buying by shorts and
commission houses became steadier. De
cember closed a shade off at 304c
Provisions were barely steady. At the
close January pork was oft 7 4c at $13,37 4;
lard was down 24c at $7.00; ribs were
down 24c at $7.25.
