13 THE MORNIXO OKEGOXIAN, WEDNESDAY. JULY 31, 1907. FRUIT OF OUR SOIL Inland Empire Wheat Brings $42,000,000. . RECORD CROPS REPORTED Counting Grain, Fruit, Wool, Hops and Lumber, Total Products of Year Foot Enormous Total of $150,000,000. Farmers of the great Inland Empire, that Is, the states of Oregon, Washington and Idaho, will receive for their wheat crop this year the ' enormous, eura of 142,000,000, according1 to the statement of President A Ins worth, of the United States National Bank. The commercial banks are In the best position, to obtain ac curate Information on this subject, as the trust companies do not deal tn paper secured by warehouse receipts or cargo manifests. Large amounts of money are required by ex porting houses with which to purchase wheat In the Interior, and whea they delre to raise additional funds, banks are prepared to make advances on bills drawn against shipments abroad, represented by certified manifests. Farmers depend upon their local banks for funds to carry them over harvest, and from Information received by city banks from their correspondents In the Interior, the "country" banks are in excellent shape to provide , all the money farmers need, without calling vary extensively on the city for help. To quote Mr. Alnsworth again, he estimates that in view of the prospect of marvelous crops of wheat, barley, oats, fruit, hops and wool, and counting In the lumber output, the total amount of money coming to the Inland Empire for products of the soil for the vear ending Decemher 31 will foot up 150. 000.000. Banks are reported to fce In fine shape to handle all adrvance fundjs neceesary to market the extraordinary crops now being harvested and to take care of thoe yet to come. While Portland banks will be called upon to furnish a large proportion of needed funds, the other cities in the great Pacific Northwest Seattle, Tacoma and Spokane wilt 'contribute their respective share. COUNTRY PRODUCE INACTIVE. Eggs Continue to Drag Under More Eastern Receipts. The local egg market continues to be con siderable of a problem. Most dealers, when asked about the situation, make replies that would not look well In print. One house will report that a somewhat better tone is ob servable and that stocks are cleaning up nice ly, and the house nntt door will report the market all shot to pieces and stocks accu mulating as fast ss ever. Nearly every dealer seen yesterday said he had advised his ship pers to send in eggs on their own responsi bility, not caring to name any advance price. As to the market price, dealers are holding for 22a for fresh ranch stock, with receipts keeping ahead of demands of the trade. An other oar of Eastern eggs arrived yesterday. No change Is reported in poultry. Hens till are in better request than, fryers, but prices remain about stationary. Fresh meats are In moderate request, fancy veals being In best demand. Butter continues firm at quotations. An occasional lot of store butter makes Us ap pearance, but on account of the hot weather, arrives In an oily condition and is difficult to handle. CLIMATIC CONDITIONS RIGHT. Sacramento Report Fruit Trade Improves With Splendid Weather. Alden Anderson's weekly report from Sac ramento to the fruit trade says that climatic conditions remain all right In all respects, it Ibelng splendid weather for handling and ship Iping. Specifically he reports with reference jto the several seasonable fruits as follows: Plums and prunes Shipment has been steady -for the past week. The shipment for the next ,seven days will remain reasonably so,, al though there will probably be a decrease. Peaches The shipment of Fosters and Early iCrawforda is nearly done, hut we will have other yellow free varieties, including Susque h annas. Late Craw fords, Elbertas, etc., to go forward. The quality of the peaches has been Improved rather than otherwise and we look for them to arrive in the markets In bet ter shape than they have been lately. Pears This will be the highest" week of Bartlett pear shipments we shall have to go forward, but there will be quite a quantity going forward right along for the next three or four weeks. Grapes We still have no general adverse reports to advise you of from any district. Crop Its doing nicely. A few Thompson Seed less and Malvolse are going forward this week and before very long Malagas will make their appearance. Front Street Friiltmen Busy. Reports from the Merced district. In Cali fornia, state that shipments of sweet potatoes ; from that point will begin shortly In carlots by freight, which will bring the price down .to a more reasonable figure than Is possible at (Present under express shipment. Yesterday's quotation remained at 7 He a pound. The ; yield Is reported to be under the average. Cantaloupes and watermelons continue to1 ! arrive In large lots, but the price remains the ieame as for several days past. Carlots of peaches and grapes from the Cali fornia shipping points are expected in the jBext few days. The grape market Is re ported to be In good shape tn the South and crops promise to be up to expectations. Green apples are coming In better and are bringing around f 1 a box. A car of oranges Is due and lemons are also rolling. The tropicsl fruit market ra the South Is reported quite firm, principally on account of the difficulty In obtaining help. packers finding men scarce and Inclined to sak an advance in wages beyond ability to pay. The northern part of the state Is also attracting large numbers of laborers. Good Movement In Cattle. With receipts of six carloads of cattle at the local stockyards, the market held fairly steady both for cattle and other livestock yesterday. According to tho Blue Mountain Eagle, cattle are bringing good prices in the Isee country this season. A sals was recently made of 2500 head of 8-year-old steers for October delivery at a figure above last year's price on the corresponding dat, The sale Is to net the cattlemen In the neighborhood r fiw.wo. New York Hop Report. In the last Issue the Waterville Times says of the conditions In New York hopgrowlng sections: The yards in this vicinity present a most beautiful appearance. cenerallv srieakinir. Tha Humphreys are coming in blow and the vine is clean and healthy looking, no vermin having appeal eu as yet. We have been vit lted with several heavy storms recently, the one last night almost resembling a cloud burst. The yards north of here which were so badly damaged by the hail -rm of about two weeks ago are recovering to a certain extent. Yards that were said to have been practically ruined at that time are now believed to be In a fair way to yield a small crop. The vines are branching out again and are beginning to look more as they did before the storm. A writer in the Forest Grove News favors hopgrowers forming a combine. The news says: Fred Parsons, a Dlllsy hopgrower. believes that all of the growers over the whole United States should organise, "and then," says he. we would have an organisation worth while and on that would force buyers to pay a fair price." He is not an advocate of state union, for he Bays that Is not suf ficient and therefore he Is not a member of that organlxatlon. "''California, New York. Washington and Oregon should unite and se lect a man and his assistants of business principles and not hopgrowers to look after the interests of the growers- Mr. Parsons thinks that 15 ctnts would be a fair price to both consumers and producers.

LOW RECORD FOR CONSOLS Some Improvement In Sentiment En sues When British Crisis Passes, but Wall Street Awaits Fuller Information. NEW YORK, July 30 The stock market developed a period of unsettlement tn the early dealing, followed by quieter condition, and some recovery. This was In consonance with the course of events In London, to which this market had become peculairly sensitive by reason of the developments at that center yesterday. Before the recovery there set In British consols had extended the low record touched yesterday by selling as low as There was some further dis order manifested In copper securities abroad, also because of the additional decline In (Jie price of the metal there. When conditions settled in London It was accepted as the passing of the crisis and sentiment corre spondingly Improved. The completion of preparations for the stock market fortnightly settlement in Lon don, for which tomorrow Is the payday, was given the responsibility tor the situation in London. Money rates had a sharp advance there by reason of these preparations. Money on call In New York also was appreciably higher. Paris is about to complete a stock market settlement as well. Between the In fluences of these various centers the question of the continuance of the gold export move ment was suspended. Rising money rates here Invited some of ferings of financial bills in the foreign ex change market, and this helped to curb the advanced tendency of progress. The weekly bulletin of the weather bureau on crops reported conditions In some sections that were unfavorable, but the Immediate action of the grain markets today deprived the showing of influence on stocks. Some or the buying of stocks was for London account and marked the covering of shorts for that account. London also reported some buying of Americans there for continental account, especially Kansas and Texas, which was one of the features of strength. There waa no disposition to operate in an ticipation of the United States steel dividend meeting, as it was known that the directors would not go into session until the hour for closing the exchange. The supposition that there would be any change in the dividend rate had been quite definitely advanced, in terest centered In the report of unfilled or der, on band, which were 7.608.878 tons, showing' a falling off of about 400,000 tons from the amount on hand three months ear lier, a rate of recession not unusual for- the second quarter of the year. The speculative anticipation of record earnings for the quar ter of as high as 44, 000.000. compared with the actual showing of S45,5O3,705, a greater Increase than expected. Bonds were irregular. Total sales, par value, $840,000. United States bonds were unchanged on call. CLCB-INQ STOCK QUOTATIONS. Closing Bales. High. Low. Bid. Adams1 rxpree 160 87 43 10OH 35 85 210 20 66 8 22 Amal.

Chief of Police Snip py, of Chicago, received a telegram last night asking him to suggest a plan for crushing the organizations to which many of the atrocious crimes committed In the large cities recently have been charged. It reads: "New York Is experiencing unparalleled outbreaks of crime, many of wfiich. are as sassinations by members of secret soci eties, blackmailing plots and criminal as saults on women and little girls, chiefly by foreigners. Commissioner Bingham suggests organizing secret service. Will you state your ideas of how best to cope with the situation?" The telegram was from an organization Interested In the suppression of crime, and not from the police directly. "I stated that I thought Commissioner Bingham perfectly able to cope with the situation," said Chief Shlppy. "I don't credit the crimes to foreign secret soci eties, however. I think the crimes that have been troubling New Tork and Ber lin of late are th work of mental per verts." The Chief said the time might come when Chicago would deem It necessary to enter a National compact to suppress the Black Hand organization, so-called, but such a movement further than the Police Department has in hand all the time would not be practical now.
