FELT ALL OVER THE WORLD J With' Continuance of t'prislng, Prices Are Likely to Advance i Vo a High Point Hongkong Storm Affects Plour Trade. SUGAR Cuban revolution unsettle world's market. WOOL. Sales of Oregon clip In the East. ONIONS American crop larger than last year. WHEAT Farmers holding for bet ter prices. FLOUR Typhoon checks business., with Hongkong. HOPS Conditions In Lane County. POULTRY Market In good shape. BOGS Oregon ranch firmer. CHE&SE2 Advances not looked for. The leading factor In ths world's sugar market at the present time is the Cuban political situation. On the Coast here local conditions are playing an Important part In the price movement, yet even here the un derlying cause of the strength can be traced to the revolutionary disturbances In the Islands. Since the early part of this season a steady readjustment of the demand and supply conditions has been In progress, and through Its Influence prices have benefited and stability has been recovered. Now en ters into the situation a revolution, but since it affects the Island of Cuba, it Is so closely allied to sugar industrial conditions as to affect the price of that staple In every world's market. In so far as it has a bear ing upon United States prices, and this coun try gets from Cuba almost half of the sugar used, the revolution -has already caused re finers to buy Increased quantities of the best products from Europe, and has stimulated them In their endeavors to pick up the few remaining cane supplies on this side. i "The contlnuanco of the revolution thus far," says an Eastern authority on this sub ject, "has already produced damage In the field work, and the care of the growing cane has been neglected In many districts. Such neglect means a decrease in the crop out turn. Then, unless affairs are settled with in a very short period, there will not be suf ficient labor to' carry on transporting or grinding operations. Threats have been made by the revolutionists to burn the sugar houses and the cane standing In the fields. During Cuba's uprisings against Spain the cane fields were always burned. In this In stance there has not yet developed the. need for a resort to such wanton destruction of the Island's wealth, but there are ends that may be served through Incendiarism. Amer ican. English, German, Spanish and Cuban Interests own the plantations.. Spite might result in attacks being made against some owners. ; . "In case of American Intervention in or der to protect the property of Americans and foreigners, should the Insurgents con strue such Intervention as an upholding of the present government, general attacks upon property Interests might thereby be prompted. A handful-of rebels, armed with nothing weightier than parlor matches, can put Cuba back. Industrially, a good many years. In the meantime the world's sugar markets are watching events and advancing prices. Other things today have been sub ordinated to this factor. A prompt settle ment means that regular sugar conditions will again soon prevail. A continuance of the uprising makes difficult any prediction as to what point prices may reach." OREGON WOOL, IN THE EAST. Arrivals From This State of Satisfactory Appearance. Mall advices from Boston statu that Dra gon wools are arriving more freely and are appearing -very satisfactory. It is rumored that a few sales of Eastern Oregon have been recently made at current quotations. Eastern No. "l staple is held there at 72 74c. and No. 1 clothing at 6708e. In a review" of general conditions in the Boston market, the latest Issue of the Com mercial Bulletin says: Continued activity in both worsted and clothing wools Is the story told by several of the leading merchants, while In other quarters It Is said that the situation still remains rather draggy. Unquestionably, there is some business being accomplished In territory and fleece wools, but It Is by no means of a volume to be expected at this time. Manufacturers are not taking hold of large blocks of wool with any degree of alacrity, owing to the high price basis, but are rather confining their efforts to buying only enough for current requirements, al though they have no surplus stock on hand. Many opinion In regard to the refusal of the larger mills to operate extensively are being advanced. Some dealers say that these consumers are awaiting the attack of tie American Woolen Company, others claim that the quietness is due to the fact that manufacturers are going to let merchants carry the wool until needed for consumption, while others contend that buyers are hang ing back until the tone of the coming Lon don auction will have been determined. It Is argued that If the sales are firm or ad vanced In price, sales of magnitude will fol low here, while if they should show an easier tendency manufacturers will continue to purchase raw material as conservatively as they have done up to the present time. AMERICAN ONION CROP. Leading I'rod tiring states Will field More) Than Last Year. An estimate of the onion crop in the leading producing states of this country is made In Rice' Onion Crop Report., The acreage In the 13 states is placed at 18.194 as compared with 17,230 In 1005. and the yield per acre at 272 bushels as against 250 bushel last year. The total crop of 1005 and the estimate for this year follows: Bushels. Bushels.

Oregon Ranch Kgg Quoted 1- Irmer Cheese Moving Well. The poultry market ha been In good Hasps l tb week, with a heavy demand on account of the Jewish holidays. Firm prlce for ail kind continued yesterday. The egg market was strong, with strictly fresh Oregon ranch scarce and quoted at 27 V4 28 cents. Fresh Eastern egg moved well at 25f26 cents. Butter was firm and unchanged. The cheese market Is also firm, but no further advance Is looked for, unless there should be heavy Seattle or San Francisco buying. At the Coast factories, the supply of ripe cheese Is about equal to the demand. FARMERS HOLD THEIR WHEAT. Flour Trade With Hongkong Checked by the Typhoon. The firmer feeling 4n the wheat market Is causing farmers to hold back their grain more than they did last week, and the mar ket Is consequently quieter. Exporters yes terday quoted track prices here as follows: Club, 63 cents; bluestem, 87 cents; red, 00 cents. The typhoon at Hongkong, it Is feared, will check flour business with that port for some time to come. A few sales of flour are re ported on Japanese , account, but the recent advance of 6 cent In export , price ha caused something of a pause in trade. Lane Cotinty Hop Condition. The reports that have been received of un satisfactory conditions in Lane County hop yards are confirmed by the Eugene Register, which says: "W. B. Smith, who made a trip out over the river road yesterday, informs us that the Wilson yard has been abandoned on account of mold, about half the crop remaining on the vines. The damage to Lane County hops by the recent storm will reach 20 per cent of the entire croo." Few California Grape Arrive. One car of Salway peaches and three car of sweet potatoes comprised yesterday's heavy arrivals. Another car of Salway I due to morrow. Very few California grapes arrived on the express, owing to the rain In the South ern state. Oregon grapes were in good sup ply, but many of the offerings were of In different quality. The potato market contin ues firm. Bank Clearings. Bank clearances of the leading eities of the Northwest yesterday were: ' Clearings. Balances.

PRICES MOVE UPWARDS 3Ioney Conditions Show Improve ment More Gold Secured in London Less Attention Given Harriman Deal. NEW YORK. Sent. 20. Dealing In the first few minutes of today's stock market In dicated the continuance of tha pressure which carried prices downward yesterday. Then the course of prices was reversed and professional traders who had sold stocks yesterday proceeded to rebuy and to revise their views ot the factors working in the market. There has been more or less discussion or the political outlook for some days past. Traders who profess an apprehension of a growth of Socialistic views and of extreme antagonism to capital in all forms were among the sellers yesterday and the buyers today. There was some revision also of a story circulated yesterday with great detail to the enTect that a conspicuous figure in tne woria of capital had been getting out of the mar ket. Prominence bas been given to the in dividual oointed to iri all recent deal rumors. as for instance in co-operation with the Union Pacific attempt to control Reading, the formation of a holding company for the anthracite . companies and so on. When pressure was seen to be lifted today from United States Steel, Reading, Atchison ana other suDDOsed favorites in the speculative operations referred to, the traders changed their opinion of the market attitude or tne speculative leader. The day's market opera tions had much to do with consideration of this professional nature. There was diminishing attention paid to the Union Pacific-Baltimore & Ohio transac tion. Ths opening drive against Reading was encouraged by the decreased earnings reported In the annual report, owing to the coal strike. The Union Pacific acquisition of Baltimore & Ohio has thrown out of con sideration the earlier supposition that the Reading movement was based on a plan for transfer of coal properties to a holding com pany. But It Is plausible to suppose that some plan of transfer might be involved in Pennsylvania's willingness to part with Baltimore & Ohio. Sentiment over money conditions today was better than yesterday. Additional gold was secured from the Bank of England for New York, as that Institution refrained from advancing its official discount rate. Gold was also announced as being secured from other sources not disclosed. The ruling rate for call loans was lower, but time loans were very firmly held, with bidding strong for the shorter periods and very little offer ing. New York exchange at Chicago hard ened somewhat. San Francisco again re ceived $500,000 from New York by transfer to the Subtreasury. The main stress was laid, however, upon Slopes of relief measures for the money mar ket by the Treasury authorities, supposedly by deposit of Government money with the National banks. Interest was aroused by a report of the coming of the financial agent of the Japanese government to negotiate a $40,000,000 loan In New York. Also by a reportof the placing of $20,000,000 of Santo Domingo bonds with New York bankers. Multiplying evidences of demands for capi tal on New York keep alive anxiety over the money situation. .The special strength of Southern Pacific was due to reports of coming rights to stockholders which were vaguely defined in the current rumors. The closing tone was irregular, but sustained by the late support in Southern t'aciflc. Bonds were steady. Total sales, par value, $1,228,000. United States bonds were un changed on call.

Damaged From 25 to 80 Per Cent by the Late Storm. VANCOUVER. Wash.. Sept. 20. (Special.) Owing to the recent rains It Is considered by reliable authorities that the prune crop of Clark County has been damaged from 25 to 30 per cent, and In some parts of the rounty even more. The neighborhood of Prune Hill Is said to have received the greatest amount of damage, as the fruit in that vlclntty ripens earlier thanln most of the other parts of the county. The crop this year' throughout the county is estimated to be -neavfer than ever before, and the picking and drying season Is now at its height. All the dryers are being worked to their utmost capacity, and In many Instances temporary buildings have been fitted up In order to take care of the fruit. In many parts of the county other fruit such as pears- and apples. Is going- to waste because of the lack of a local market where It could be shipped on short notice. hat Clark County needs Is several canneries for tne purpose of taking care of this abundance of fruit. The prunepacklng plant of the J. K. Arms by Company Is being enlarged and remod eled In preparation of the shipment and packing of the prune crop this Fall. Lane County - Prunes Damaged. EUGENE, Or.. Sept. 20. (Special.) Last week's rain damaged Lane County prunes to the extent of 20 per cent, according to con servative estimates. Cloudy weather pre vented ripening, and now the fruit Is com ing In faster than the dryers can handle it. Little Is cracked by the rain. The Lane County crop had promised to be larger than UBual by a tentn. Hopgrowera are hurrying picking as fast as possible, and some hops are coming Into warehouses. The outlook is unchanged. Good Yield In tbe Nichols Yard. OREGON CITY. Or.. Sept. 20. (Special.) Jrpproximately 60.000 pounds of cured hops represents the product of the Dr. Nichols 38-acre yard near this city and In which picking was finished today. This Is an aver age yield of 1580 pounds to the acre, which is considered exceptionally good considering the uniform shortage in the crop, amount ing te about 25 per cent, In the yards In this locality. Slight Mold In Gervals Section. GERVAIS. Or., Sept. 20. (Special.) A few hop yards report mold as appearing, but only ellghtly. The growers are Increasing the number of pickers and claim tbey have the pest under control. They fear ao evil re sults unless the weather turns off warm. A number of yards are coming down heavier than was anticipated, which Is attested by orders on the printer for more tickets. This Is especially so In the Gervals section. One yard near here waa so heavy that the vines fell from the weight of the croo and It was only by diligent work they were returned to the wires. As a rule most yards are devoid of foliage and hopplcking Is eaey. No aalea have been made In this section. Growers who have not contracted are talking 25c and do not seem much worried about prices. The average yield will not exceed 3V4 bales to the acre on all upland yards In this section. Coffee and Sagar. NEW YORK. Sept. 20. CofTee futures closed steady at an advance of 1520 points.
