Tha wheat market rulee, firm with a fairly
active movement, but there Is likely to be a
cessation of buying, on tho part of exporters
If the gralnhandlcrs' atrlko should be continued.
Opinions differ as to the future course of
prices, soma believing that the upward move
ment will continue, "while others think the
recent advance was due solely to manipula
tion and that a reaction ia bound to follow
soon. Yesterday's local track quotations were
a follow: Club. G4S1J3 cents; bluestem, 63
cents: red. 61&62 cents; Valley, 67COS cents.
The export flour trade is not yet of a sat
isfactory volume. The Japanese are still well
Mocked up and are not likely to do much
buying until later in the Fall. Some In
quiries are coming In at low figure, but ex
porters decline to accept lower prices than
those asked. Mall advices from Hongkong
dated August 21. reported stocks there as
follows: 400,000 bags Washington and Oregon;
150.000 bags Californlan, and 80.000 bags Aus
tralian. Prices had advanced slightly since the
previous advices and deliveries were satis
factory. Liberal consumption was predicted
for five or elx week from the date of the
letter. Several fair orders for flour have been
received by Portland shippers from Shanghai
and North China ports.
CAR OF "CAPE COD CRANBERRIES.
First Lot of tho Season Is of Good Quality
Tbo Eastern Crop.
The first car of Cape Cod cranberries ar
rived yesterday. They were quoted at $9 a
barrel and were of excellent quality. An
, Eastern tradepaper eays of the Cape Cod
crop and tha future market outlook:
Cape Cod cranberry buyers say tho crop
this year Is to be a largo one, estimating n
at fully 250,000 barrels; a figure which the
growers say la grossly exaggerated, for they
maintain that many growers are running
short and that tha crop cannot possibly ex
ceed 200.000 barrels. Conservative Interests are
Inclined to epllt the difference and estimate
i the crop at 235.000. Figuring on the percent
age of ahlpments this year up to September
15. the crop is estimated at 280,000 barrels.
Keener competition among buyers than In
recent years Is in progiass. Last year the en
tire crop was handled by a combination known'
as the American Cranberry - Company. This
year one of the Interests which waa repre
sented In the combination last year has drawn
jut, and Is fighting Its own battles. This firm
has offered higher prices for berries than the
others, and. it is said, has done more ship
ping than any other two dealers.
A war of campaign literature has been the
result and It la said that the market Is In
danger of being demoralized by the efforts of
the contending factions. The grower, mean
while, sees the price of berries going down,
and la anxious to have the crop estimated as
small as possible, for an impression of a large
crop. It Is feared would tend to make the
price of berries go lower still.
PRUNE MARKET STEADIER.
Improvement Is Noted In California Con
dltlons. A steadier feeling pervades the prune mar
ket, ow-lng to the damage to the Oregon crop,
caused by the late storm, and to the Improve
ment In the California situation. Regarding
market conditions in that state, the Califor
nia Fruitgrower says: "
While there is very little new business
passing In prunes, tho general feeling In the
market Is one of slightly increased firmness
over' recent conditions. This Is not consequent
on any improved demand, but through a
firmer holding In the country on the part
of growers and tho shortage of some dealers
In the larger sizes, which are being bought
in the country on a better basis than has been
ruling up to ten days or so ago. The situa
tion at present Is a demand on the part of
packers for the larger sizes, with prunes av
eraging 70s and smaller not being sought for.
The general asking price for anything smaller
than 4Ua is on the basis of 2c for Santa
Claras, and, while 2o for intermediate sizes
Is quoted on outsldes, In some Instances many
holders have pushed up their figures a notch
to 2c. Of course, under increased crop
prospects it is natural to expect a larger
proportion of smaller sizes than was origin
ally figured on.
HOP TRAD& STILL QUIET.
Krrbs Crowd of Pickers Return After Prof
itable Season.
The hop market continues In an inactive
condition and no one looks for much sign of
life until samples of the new crop reach the
East and London. The only transaction report
ed this week was the purchase by a. Muecke
of the small Errandt lot of 20 bales at -Aurora
at 15 cents.
Tha Krebs pickers, five coaches full of
them, returned to the city yesterday after
noon. They were in excellent humor and
appeared aa If they had had the tlmea of their
lives. All of them made good money at the
yarda One man earned $7 In one day and
averaged $5 a day all the time he was at
work. Picking was finished almost at the
same hour In the Independence and Broaks
yarda.
Leaves Hops on Vines.
CHEHALIS, Sept. 25: (Special.) Owing to
the continued rains and the over-ripe condi
tion of the hops In his yard, Francis Dona
hoe was obliged to quit his hop-plcklng, leav
ing many hops on the vines. The mold had
begun to do very serious damage. The grow
ers who have not yet finished have announced
that beginning tomorrow morning they will
pay pickers $1.25 a box for the rest of the
picking season. Thus far they have been
paying $1 a box.
SLOW PICKING IN YAMHILL.
About One-Fourth of the Hop Crop Still
I nhorve sted.
M'MINNVILLE, Or.. Sept. 25. (Special.)
Reports from various portions of the county
indicate fully 000 acres of hops unpicked. This
! approximately one-fourth of the entire acre
age of the county. George Ball, of Ball&ton,
saya that It will take a week or ton days to
complete the harvest In his locality; that
the mold has not as yet done any groat dam
age and that the growers will not pick the
hope that are aerlously affected. R. W. Mag
ness. of Wheatland, thinks that this week
will complete tha picking In his vicinity. He
Mates that some portiona of yards have been
Abandoned on account of moid. It Is doubt
ful if more than one-half of the unDicked
hops will be cared for, as It is quite suro mold
a111 develop In large quantities during- the
next fow days.
Tha bast price offered thus far ia 17 oantaj
for tha lot of Bransons grown on the farm of
Mlso Hendrick. of thla city. Tha offer was
declined. The- Blough & Huston hops con
tracted" were recently delivered to the agent
of Klaber. Wolf A Netter. The estimate in
the contract called for the entire crop of
about 10,000 pounds, while they produced and
delivered only about 7500 pounds. Tha F. M.
Davla yard, contracted to the same firm, fell
abort of the estimate In the contract about
one-third.
Poultry Holds Ita Own.
The poultry market holds its own, but it
Is evident that if more hens arrived the price
of Springs could not be maintained much
longer.
Another car of Eastern eggs arrived. Prices
of both Eastern and Oregon eggs were un
changed. The butter market was steady at the es
tablished quotations.
Vegetables on Ice.
A good supply of beans, sprouts and other
truck on Ice was brought up on the Roanoke
yesterday. The market was poorly supplied
with peaches, but most kinds of grapes were
plentiful. Cantaloupes were also in better
supply. Huckleberries arrived freely and were
cheaper. A car of lemona came In. during the
day and a car of aweet potatoes Is due this
morning.

WHEAT MOVIHB FREELY
IXCliEASE IX RECEIPTS CAUSES
SELXJXG AT CHICAGO.
Easier Tone at the Close Is the Re
sult Deterioration in
the Oats Crop.
CHICAGO. Sept. 25. Weather in the Spring
wheat country continued favorable to the move
ment of the new crop and arrivals today at
the Northwestern markets showed a consider
able increase, although they were still less
than for the corresponding day a year ago.
This Increase in receipts furnished the main
incentive to moderate profit-taking by local
longs. The demand lacked animation and In
consequence prices eased off a trifle. The close
was easy. December opened unchanged to
He lower at 75 73c, sold up to ?hftj1c
and then declined to 74"fcc. Final Quotations
were iHic off at 73M(12'75Vic.
Selling by elevator Interests and cash houses
caused moderate weakness in the corn market
early in the day. -During the last half of
the session the market became firmer on cov
ering by shorts. Advances in the price of
oats and cash corn were the main Influences
that brought out the Improved demand. The
market closed steady and a shade up at 43c.
A report emanating from Minneapolis,
claiming that the oats crop of Minnesota and
the Dakotas Kod deteriorated 20 per cent since
the publication of the' Government report,
caused decided strength in the oats market
during the last part of the day. The market
closed etrong, with December c up at
34 lie
The greater part of the business transacted
in provision consisted ' of the changing of
holdings in the near-by deliveries to the Jan
uary option. As a result of such transac
tions, October ribs were conspicuously weak.
A 5-cent advance in tho price of live hogs,
however, tended to hold the market. At the
close, January pork was a shade lower" at
$1:1.3216, lard was oft a shade at $7.S24 and
ribs were up a "shade at $7.12li&7.15.

SELLING TO REALIZE
Fears Expressed of a Flurry in the
Money Market Occasioned by
Prepartlons - for the Oc
tober Settlements.
NEW TORK. Sept. 25. The market was
held under dull depression for the most
part today, but this Influence was contested
and was not allowed to make much head
way in affecting prices till the selling of
Amalgamated Copper to realize broke the
whole market in sympathy.
Rates for call loana fell below 5 per cent
early in the day, and conditions In that part
of the loan market offered no sign of dis
turbance. Nevertheless, the expectation Is
quite general that the preparation for the
October settlements will Involve a flurry In
the money market. The requirements then
are unusually heavy and money is undoubt
edly tight in all departments. The uni
versal confidence that the Secretary of the
Treasury Intends to extend aid is the only
assurance felt against a severe pinch- Con
fidence has been very strong In "Wall street
that ' the usual recourse to stock market
liquidation for relief from such a situation
was to be escaped, but there Is no disposi
tion to extend commitments in the market
even among those with Vhom this opinion
has prevailed. That there Is an element
not so sure of exemption from the usual
pressure was Indicated by the growth of
the selling movement toward the latter
part of the session.
The Bums to be paid out next Monday
will be very large. The Union Pacific semi
annual 5 per cent dividend and the South
ern Pacific 214 per cent dividend alone will
call for nearly $15,000,000, and the aggre
gate of such payments on that date is esti
mated at $60,000,000 or more. In addition,
the New York trust companies will be
called upon to increase their cash holdings
on October 1 to the extent of $10,000,000.
There was no relaxation In the demand
making upon New York bank reserves from
Interior sources and an unusual amount of
redlscountlng from Interior banks is being
offered to New York banks. The amount
of new gold secured abroad for New York
fell today to a meager $200,000. The stock
market settlement in London revealed high
carrying charges and discrimination against
American securities in that market. In
Paris, the discount rate advanced to within
a shade of the bank rate and the weekly
statement of the Imperial Bank of Germany
showed the continued drain upon the
money market at that center.
The compilation of reports of conditions
of tha National banks throughout the
United States, as on September 4, given out
at Washington today, shows clearly that
the Inflation of credits Is common to the
whole country. Tae percentage of legal
reserve to liabilities on that date was 20.20
compared with 21.44 on June 18, the date
of the preceding reports to the controller,
and with 21.69 on August 25. the nearest
corresponding date of last year. Politics
came in for some consideration in tae mar
ket by reaBon of the sessions of the New
York partv conventions. Traders made a
special demonstration against the municipal
corporations of New York City on this
score. . .
The dividend Increases on Anaconda con
formed closely to the general expectat on.
But the heavy realizing In that stock and In
Amalgamated Copper had a bad effect on
general speculative sentiment as showing
a disposition to ell on good new, in a
stock that is regarded as a epeculatlve fa
vorite of the group of capitalists most re
lied on to carry through the present spec
ulative campaign. This broke the whole
market and led to violent declines and a
Weak and active closing. .
Bonds were Irregular. Total sales, par
falue. $2,392,000. United States bonds were
unchanged on call.
