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:

POl'LTRT MARKET IX FINE SHAPE.
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.

TREND IS REVERSED
Pressure Withdrawn From
Stocks in New York Market.
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.

CLARK COUNTY PRUNE CROP.
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.
