PRICE WILL BE HIGH
Good Season in Sight for Ore
gon Onion-Growers.
HEAVY DEMAND CERTAIN
Twenty-five Per Cent Shortage In
W alla Walla Crop, the Principal
Competitor of This Section.'
Active Produce Trade.
The onion grow of Oregon have reason to
ixpect very profitable pricea for their produce
the coming Fall and Winter. The Califor
lla demand will be largely Increased because
f the short output In that atate and the
Northern Inquiry promises to be even better
lhan It waa last year.
A. 3. Far.no. president of the Confederated
Onion Growers' Association, has been Informed
y W. S. Offner, of the Walla Walla Produce
association, that the crop of late Banvera
nlons In that section will be only about 75
per cent of . laat year's, as many acres of
mlona were killed by freezing In the Spring.
These Walla Walla onions will be about the
nly ones that will come Into competition with
Dregon onion. a the California crop la prac
tically a failure, owing to the floods in the
Sacramento Valley, so a 25 per cent shortage
m the Walla Walla country is bound to have
iffect on price here.
Mr. Offner also saya the early Summer onion
srop will be exhausted in about two weeks,
swing to the unusually heavy demand.
The Oregon onion crop is In excellent shape.
The season has been entirely favorable so far
ind the hot wave in the early part of the
week did no damage. Everything will depend
n the weather from now until September
I. Cold rains would cause Injury, but they
ire not likely to occur In that time.
MELONS AND CANTS IN GREAT FAVOR.
Two Cars of California Crawford Peaches
About Due Bananas In Today.
The movement In watermelons and canta
loupes is the feature of the local fruit mar
Vet. Melons are firmer In California than
here, having advanced II per ton in tne
southern market yesterday. Telegrams re
ceived said that good melons were very
scarce and some patches are already cleaned
up. Local receipts average three cats daily.
The California cantaloupe crop is also short
and shippers are'packlng all sizes for the
outside market. Local quotations yesterday
ranged from 2.2S3.25 according to
duality. Fine Oregon cantaloupea from The
Dalles are more plentiful and readily bring
the top price. Toppenlsh cants In carlots
are due next week.
Peaches were scarce and good white Ore
gon stock was in demand at 85cill.25 per
box. Two cars of California Crawfords are
due sometime before Monday. Four or five
- cars of bananas are due today. They will
be In better condition than the last ship
ment. CONDITION OF EUROPEAN HOP CROP,
progress of the Vines In Mid-July In Eng
land and in Germany.
Hop conditions In England, according to
the Kentish Observer of July 18 were aa fol
lows: Aeh-next-Sandwlch The bine has made good
rrogreeu during the week where it is free or
r.early so of vermin. The unwashed, portion
has now a goodly company of lice, which are
Increasing rapidly, and look Ilka proving seri
ous. The later bine, where kept fairly clean,
has a more sappy appearance than where the
early bine waa put up. Mould is on the in
crease and threatena to cause growers some
anxiety. Cultivation at present somewhat In
arrear owing to haying operations, which are
now drawing to a close.
Betheraden The better weather has im
proved the hop garden In this parish, but the
bine la atlll very backward, and there Ja much
trouble In places with vermin. In these,
washing is going on.
Bridge The hops have decidedly Improved in
appearance during the past few days, the
weather having been more favorable on the
whole, but vermin appears to be increasing
and washing is becoming general.
Canterbury Prospect are decidedly better
this week. The warm sunny weather haa
accelerated the growth of the bine, the Jaterata
coming out well, and looking strong and
healthy. There Is still some vermin, but it
does not appear to increase.
District North of Canterbury The warmer
weather has Improved the appearance of the
plant, which la now developing laterals. But
the previous long spell of cold so retarded
growth that geenrally there Is an appear
ance of shortness of bine. Now a most un
kindly east wind to blowing, which will not
mend matters.
Farnham The general prospect haa slightly
Improved, but the change to warmer weather
has come too late to be of much help to the
backward and weak pieces. Even under, the
most favorable weather conditions the crop
cannot be a full average one. The continued
presence of vermin is causing growers touch
uneasiness.
Halden The bopa in this pariah are in a bad
state, many of the bines having failed to reach
the. tops of the poles. Uuder the most favor
able conditions the crop must be small, aa
there cannot be enough bine to carry a large
one. There ia also some trouble from vermin.
MaidMone and District The warmer weather
of the laat few days haa effected a marked Im
provement in the appearance of the bine, which
as now a good color and growing rapidly. In
neglected grounds, however. It la Mill back
ward. The vermin attack is only light at
present, and there Is very little mould.
Woodnesborough The hops have made more
progress during the past week, the few bright
days with a higher temperature, having bene
fited them considerably, but it la very evi
dent that, through slackness of bine, the crop
will be a light one. Washing Is In full swing.
' as the lice are rather persistent.
Adolf Heller, of Prague, wrote to the Ob
server under date of July 15 aa follows:
In aplte of the ungenlal weather the hop
plantations In the Bohemian hop distrlcta have
made fair progress. About three-nfths of tha
whole area ia very well grown, with plenty
of laterals, promising a very good yield; the
remainder ia partly much weaker, partly very
poorly grown. The reports from seveal large
Bavarian distrlcta that ia the Hollelau and
Spalt are In the main very favorable; but tha
state of the plant In the market hops district
and Aiachgrund Is less good, but without
being unfavorable. The plantations In Wurt-
emberg. AK-ace and Baden are so far promis
ing well, but more genial, warm weather la
very much needed for the development of the
burr. The hop markets are dull and pricea In
' favor of buyers.
MOVEMENT OF CALIFORNIA FRUIT.
Shipments Laat Week of Leading Deciduous
Varieties.
The movement of deciduoua fruita from Cali
fornia is thus reported In the weekly market
letter of the California Fruit Distributors, of
Eacramento:
Plums and prunes Shipment haa remained
steady and quality strictly first-class. General
conditions have been-good In all respects but
the shipment for the next, seven days . will
slightly decreaee.
Peaches Shipment Increased somewhat over
the amount expected on account of adverse
P ruling with respect to the use of sulphur In
drying fruit. Shipment will be steady for tha
next week. Quality of all shipments going
forward now la good and when they reach
market we look for good results.
Peara-Phipment remained steady and qual
ity is still good. Shipment will slightly de
arease for tha next week, but there will atlll
be & large shipment nearly approximating that
of the last week.
Grapea The shipments of the last week
have been mostly Fontainbleau, trweetwater
and Thomrwon seedless. There will be atill
further shipments of these going forward and
the latter part of the week some Mate. gas.
Malagas promise to be exceptionally fine this
year and shippers are not showing the dis
position to rush their picking until they are
fully matured, all of which ia best for all
concerned. All other varieties of grapes, espe
cially Tokays, are showing up fine and prom
tee to be of good color and plenty of 'sugar.
SMALL SUPPLY OF CHEESE AVAILABLE
Market Is Firm With an Upward Tendency.
Manufacture Falling Off.
Tha cheese market has a very strong un
dertone. The demand haa been unusually
active and every boat cleans .up- Stocks
both here and In Tillamook are light. The
factorlea report a falling off of 30 per cent
in the make since the flush season.
The city creamery butter market is quoted
firm with a marked decrease in cream re
ceipts. Outside brands on Front atreet con
tinue plentiful and the tone there la only
about steady.
The egg market was unchanged yesterday.
There waa a ateady demand for No. 1 atock,
but the general run of recelpta waa not of
satisfactory quality.
In the poultry market the aupply and de
mand were about equal.

STOCK MARKET STAGNANT
PROFESSIONALS DISCOURAGED
BY LACK OF INTEREST.
Week's Currency Movement Indi
cates an. Unfavorable Bank State
ment Effect of Crop News.
NEW YORK. Aug. 2. The discouragement
of the profeasional traders over the absence
of outside Interest in stocks resulted today
In a condition bordering on stagnation. The
trading was practically idle at. times and the
professionals, finding no satisfaction In scalp
ing profits from each other, desisted from op
erations. There were no other notlceaole op
erations outside of this cla9.
The forecast of the week's currency move
ment gave warning of the unfavorable factors
at work In the money situation. Teaterday'a
heavy credit balance of the cub-treaeury at
the clearing-house on account of the Central
Pacific note payment to the Government ex
tended the week's loss of the banks to the
Government to $3,812,000. This includes the
gold shipment to France on Tuesday, for which
payment was made at the sub-treasury, but
not the outgo to Canada, which amounts to
nearly $1,000,000. Foreign exchange here con
tinued to decline today, in spite of a rather
easier tone in the call loan market and- firm
ness In London and .Berlin discounts. The
feature In the time loan market la the special
urgency of the demand for the six months
period, which now carries o-er the first
month Into the next year. The quoted rate
waa 6t?6H per cent on thia maturity.
Ine Government report of the cotton con
dition waa again a disagreeable surprise, the
improvement during July having proved much
less than waa anticipated In the trade. Tht
fact that some of the cotton carriers advanced
on the report was attributed to the likelihood
that ehort sellers. In anticipation of the poor
report, were buying to cover. Report of
grain conditlona also were rather unfavorable,
low temperaturea In the Northwest .calling at
tention to the danger of delayed frosts for a
crop that la late. The rise of the early part
of the day waa about all lost at one time and
then recovered in the last half hour on scanty
dealings.
Bonds were Irregular. Total sales, par
value. $638,000. United States bonda were un
changed on call.

weekly review of trade tomorrow will say:
Trade reports from the leading cities are
singularly uniform in 'making favorable com
parisons with the corresponding week in any
previous year. At most Western' and Southern
points the improvement In crop prospects haa
brought out liberal Fall orders, and there la
evidently more confidence in the future than

start. Jobbing houses are preparing for Win
ter trade on a scale aeldom equaled.

vious maximum.
Demand for leather is limited to immediate
requirements and tanners curtail production,
which adds to the accumulation of hides and
depresses quotations still further. . Country

stocks of poor quality back saltings.

Raw. wool ia' notably strong, particularly
fine ataple wools adapted to making worsted,
and prices tend upward. The new clip appeara
to have been well cleaned up and intereat haa
transferred to the East, where the new wools
are arriving slowly.
