LOW.PRICE OFFERED
Oregon Canners Only Pay $20
to $2fc for Bartletts.
GROWERS ARE INDIGNANT
In California tlie Price for Canning
Pears Runs From $35 to $85
Per Ton Quality Here
Is Better.
Growers of Bartlett pears in Oregon are
up in arm against the. canneries of this
state, because of the low prices they are
offering for the fruit in comparison with
what the orchardlsts of California re
ceive. . DiBtriot. Fruit. Inspector James H.
Reld voices the complaints of the growers
as follows: ,
"The canneries in Portland and other
parts of the state have made the price
for Bartletts of the 2 caliper size, which
Is the largest grown here, $25 per ton.
For the 2'4 caliper size they pay 120 per
ton In California, the largest Bartletts
only gauge 2y. caliper, but the Tanne of
prices paid by the canneries of that state
Is from $35 to $75 per ton and it Is re
ported 'that a few contracts have been
made there at JS5 per ton. The bulk of
the contracts for No. 1 California Bart
letts run from $50 to $85 per ton.
"Like the cherry crop, the Oregon pear
crop this year will be of unusually fine
quality. Although the yield will be lisht
around Eugene, and south of that point,
in the remainder of the Willamette Valley
there will be a very ' fair crop. The
farmers should have what they are en
titled to. If the conditions in the can
ned goods trade Justify the California
canneries In paying an average of $50 to
Iti5 a ton for pears, the canners of Ore
gon should do likewise. .
"I understand that the 'tt'eber-Bussell
company of Seattle made a few contracts
for Bartletts In the Valley at good prices,
but that the Oregon canneries induced
them to quit, by offering them all the
pears they wanted at the low prices that
have been fixed."
SO MOVEMENT IN HOP MARKET
Latest Reports of Crop Conditions In
New York State.
New York State.
The Oregon hop market is in a most
inactive condition. There Is some little
inquiry for spot goods at the low prices
lately paid but growers are not disposed
to sell. No demand for contracts is re
ported. . The Jefferson Review finds the 1907 hop
The' paper says: It is freely predlcate'd
that 8 .cents will be the top figures, unless
the European crop should prove much
shorter than at present seems possible.
Prime 1906 hops are selling at 4 to 6 cents.
Buyers claim to have enough 1907 hops
contracted to fill all foreign orders,.- and
are not making any attempt to contract
more. If this condition continues there
will be practically no market at picking
time and hops in many yards will be left
on the vines.
New York hop crop conditions are thus
reported by papers of that state: The
frequent rains- the past weeks have in
creased the growth of the vine materially,
especially In the early varieties so that
they present a very luxuriant appearance.
We have had a good deal of wind lately
and some yards show the effect of the
whipping which the vines received. It
Is thought that the picking season will
be fully two weeks later than last year,
but to all appearances the crop will be
3f excellent quality, although light In
quantity. Waterville Time.
The growing crop has been damaged
io a considerable extent by the high
winds- prevailing since Thursday last.
It has been reported that the vines are
Infested with lice, but we are Informed
that the report is false. Cooperstown
Farmer.
Hops are coming into view in the early
yards and will soon appear in the late
ones. The cool nights which have been
in evidence lately do not favor their rapid
growth. Growers are cultivating their
yards with care in the belief that the
price will yield a fair return this year.
Schoharie Republican.
The growing crop has improved with the
fine weather we have been having. The
wind storm last week did considerable
damage. A careful estimate places the
crop fully one third short of last year.
The yield promises to be of good quality,
tnd if present indications and reports of
the crop continue, the price will prob
ably start for new hops around 20 cents.

TEA MARKET IS CLIMBING VP
Prices In Japan and China Advanc
ing Steadily.
Cables just received from Japan re
port that all the lower grades of tea
are very strong with prices advanced
from 2 to 3 cents per pound. The higher
and medium grades are firm, but do not
show the strength of the lower grades.
The cause of the flurry is the lighter pro
duction of the lower grade of teas. Grow
ers are turning their lands to other pur
poses which they find more profitable,
and this, with the strong demand, has
had the effect of lifting prices. Compe
tent authorities declare that it will not
be many years before Japan goes out
of the tea-raising business. Labor has
become expensive there, as in Western
countries, and it is being found that the
land will produce other crops in which
there is more money.
Not only are Japanese teas advancing
in price, but Chinese teas are likewise
higher. Foo Chow Standard English
breakfast, which could be purchased last
year at 9 cents, now costs 2 cents and the
tendency is toward a still higher value.
Low grades in English breakfast teas,
both NortH and South China, are very
high. The Russians have been heavy
purchasers, having bought this year 300,
000 chests, against purchases of 100.000
chests last year, which leaves but tOO.OOO
chests for English and American re
quirements. Importers 111 have -j draw
on the second crop for supplies, but they
do not know yet how it w ... turn out.
Ping Sueys from Shanghai also hold
firm and Ceylon teas, though they are of
less importance in this section, are in a
strong position.
Taken altogether, it may safely be
said that tea prices are as low now as
they will be any time this season, and it
would not surprise the trade if prices
reached a higher figure in the near fu
ture. THE EGG MARKET IS FIRMER
Stocks Are Being Reduced and an
Advance May Occur Soon.
A steady Improvement is noted in
the tone of the egg market; but prices
have not yet been advanced. The ac
cumulation is being steadily reduced,
and as receipts are becoming very
light. It Is evident that higher prices
roust soon be quoted.
The poultry market is also firmer.
with arrivals decreasing and the de
mand active.
Two of the city creameries have ad
vanced to 35 cents. The market for
butter is firm, and the new price will
probably be general in a few days.
DRY ROT AFFECTS PEACHES
Much of the Fruit From the Rose
burg Section Is Bad.
The local fruit market is being swamped
with poor peaches from the Roseburg
section. Nearly a carload of them came
In by express yesterday and only added
to the accumulation carried "over from
Saturday. Most of these peaches are
affected with dry rot which makes them
practically unsaleable. The Roseburg
growers have had this trouble for several
years, though It was not very serious last
Summer. This year, however, the blight
Is" worse than ever before, judging from
the fruit now reaching this market. There
is a strong demand for good peaches and
jobbers find it a problem how to get hold
of any. Fist-class stock will sell as high
as $1.25 per box. but the poor offerings
go around 70 and 75 cents. A car of
Merlin peaches passed through Portland
yesterday enroute to the Sound markets.
Five cars of bananas arrived, about one
third ripe. A car of sweet potatoes also
came in.
Grain Markets Are Unchanged.
The cereal markets presented no
change yesterday. Wheat was rather
quiet and quoted steady. Oats were
dull and still easy, with but little In
quiry for new crop, though It is said
that the surplus of old crop oats has
been considerably reduced. Continued
activity is reported in barley, which is
always the earliest of the grain mar
kets. , Bank Clearing.
Bank clearings of the leading cities of the
Northwest yesterday were:

GOOD RUN OF SALMON IN ALASKA.
No Lack of Fish In Northern Waters This
Year.
E -IATTLE, Wash., Aug. 12. While salmon
is scarce and the pack is light on Puget
Sound there seems to be no lack of fish in
Alibkan waters according to advices brought
down by the steamship Cottage City which
an Ived here Saturday.
The Cottage City brought down 8000
cases of salmon from Funter Bay and of
ficers of the vessel say the pack there will
run as high as 100.000 cases for the season.
The cannery is closed now and refusing
fish awaiting the ru nof sockeyes to com
plete its pack. The George F.. Myers Com
pany at Sitka Bay will complete Its pack
in about tnree weeks. The run of salmon
in northern waters is large and fully as
early as last year. According to travelers
from the north who are in touch with con
ditions the run In southern waters will be
good.
Notwithstanding the encouraging reports
from the north the cannerymen on the
Sound are discouraged. It Is reported from
Bellingham that keen competition among
the salmon buyers on the Sound has re
sulted in raising the price of sockeyes to
50 cents each and the indications are that
choice red fish will cost the packers still
more before the season is over. The boats
coming from the traps and the seiners'
fields are bringing fewer and fewer fish as
the season wanes and the end of the sock
eye run is in sight - according to the
prophecy of the fishermen.
Lane County Growers Discouraged.
EUGENE, Or., Aug. 12. The condition of
hops in this county Is rather unfavorable.
During the recent cloudy and rainy weather
the lice spread all over the vines so thickly
that most of the growers are badly dis
couarged. John Mlddleton, of Harrlsburg.
recently sold a car of last year's crop at
5 cents. Another grower In the same vicin
ity has held his hops ever since the high
prices of a year ago. At that time he was
offered 31 cents but asked 32. The price
went down, and since then he has stored
bis crop. He is wealthy and his friends are
wondering how long he can wait for prices
to rise to 32 cents.

Bark Hecla Collides.
PORT TOWNSEND, Wash., Aug. 12.
The American bark Hecla, Captain
Henry Nelson, reached port yesterday
morninfr, leaking and with her hull
damaged through a collision with the
Duncan Rock, near Cape Flattery. The
grounding occurred while the bark was
in tow of the tug Richard Holyoke,
bound for this port. The strong tide
is credited with being the cause of
the trouble. In passing the obstruction
the tug escaped Injury and brought her
tow here. The damage to the Hecla is
not regarded as serious, but she will
probably require drydocking before
being permitted to proceed to Hadlock
to load lumber for Sydney. The Hes
la's pumps have been kept constantly
going.

GAS COMPANY WILL MOVE
Is Arranging to Occupy Present
Quarters of Wells, Fargo &. Co.
Arrangements are being made by the
Portland Gas Company to remove Its
offices from Fifth and Yamhill streets
to the building now occupied by the
Wells-Fargo Express Company as soon
as the latter . company removes to Its new
12-story building at Sixth and Oak. It is
understood that as soon as this change is
made the Failing estate will begin the
erection of a six-story building on the
site ' now occupied by the gas company.
Tiie Failing estate is the owner of the
site and one-story brick building where
the offices of the gas company are located
at the southeast corner of Fifth and Yam
hill. This building will be demolished and
In its place will rise a' modern steel-frame
office structure. The plans for this build
ing, it is reported, are now being pre
pared. When completed it will be' the
home of the gas company.
In preparing the site for this building,
the old frame dwelling at the rear of
the gas company's office and facing on
Fifth street, will be torn down. This Is
one of the landmarks of Portland, having
for years been the home of Josiah Failing.
It first stood facing Yamhill streat. but
was removed to its present site wnen the
brick was erected on the corner.

much work ahead of It. On this account
it will not be necessary for him to remain

but Each Time the Mar
ket Recovers.
NEW YORK. Aug. 12. Liquidation was
on a large scale In the opening dealings of
the stock market today and prices crum
bled away. Sensational losses were regis
tered In all of the Important stocks during
the first 10 minutes of business.
There was a break of 5 points in North
ern Pacific, 3 In Canadian Pacific, 3) in
Union Pacific, 314 In Baltimore and 3 In
Missouri Pactlc, Louisville & Nashville.
Amalgamated Copper and Colorado Fuel;
24 In Reading and Atchison, 2 in Southern
Pacific and Smelting, and considerably over
a point for all other stocks. The market
became feverish and unsettled, some stocks
rallying strongly on supporting orders and
others declining still further.
Effective measures to check the precipi
tate fall In prices were put into force after
the first 15 minutes of business, and al
though there were Isolated cases of further
severe losses, the general market was un
der control and rising briskly, j
Room shorts bought heavily when the
current turned, and there was a large ab
sorption for the long account. Rallies from'
the low point extended to 3 14 In Northern
Pacific. 2V In Canadian Pacific, Atchison.
Great Northern preferred. Amalgamated
Copper and Anaconda. Coth St. Paul and
Great Northern preferred sold a fraction
above Saturday's closing.
During the slump many of the leading
stocks sold at their lowest price of the
year. Business slowed down considerably
when the rally was In force, but there was
at all times a decided undercurrent of nerv
ousness. Reading and Smelting were being
6old heavily and were quoted at the lowest.
The market had to contend with realizing
sales of buyers who bought on the break..
At noon the market was ruling close to the
highest of the morning.
- Business was much reduced between 13
and l o'clock and the market gave evi
dence of having settled to normal condi
tions. Fluctuations were comparatively
trivial until 1 o'clock, when a decline In
Union Pacific to below 125 had some sen
timental effect on the remainder of the list.
In the middle of the afternoon, when most
of the day's losses had been restored and
speculation was lethargic, the bears made
a successful drive against Reading and
Smelting, and soon bad prices tumbling In
all directions. The raid brought the list
virtually back to the low figures at the
outset. Smelting slumped 5 points; Ameri
can Express, 10; Consolidated Gas. B; Illi
nois Central. 0; Reading. 4; Interborough
Metropolitan preferred. 44; Great Northern.
S; Smelting preferred. 3; New Tork Cen
tral, 2V4. and Pennsylvania, 8t. Paul and
United States preferred. 2. The flurry In
prices was over before 2 o'clock, the mar
ket becoming dull again and recovering
slightly.
The closing was active and feverish, with
the rally well sustained. Another violent
decline occurred in the final hour, which
drove prices considerably lower than pre
viously. The bulk of the selling was In
Union Pacific, Reading, Smelting and Amal
gamated Copper. The chief declines were:
North American, 8; Illinois Central and
Consolidated Gas. 76: Delaware A Hudson,
Lead and Interborough Metropollltan, 6;
American Smelting. .1 H ; Union Pacific. 54:
Lackawanna, 5; Reading. Missouri Pacific,
Great Northeren preferred and Anaconda,
4 4; Northwestern, Amalgamated and Smelt
ing preferred, 4 ; New York Central and
United States Steel preferred, 3 4.
Buying by shorts caused a rally of be
tween 1 and 3 points in the late trading.
Tbe bond market was weak.

business and that the canceling of his
license was an Injustice. After consid
ering the matter at length, the commit
tee decided that the auction house could
not be allowed to operate unless Mr.
Kan would pay a license of $20 a day,
which he said he could not do.
Two classes of auction houses are rec
ognized under, the ordinances, the first
paying an annual license of 160, and the
second S20 a day. The auction houses
named as second class are chiefly those
selling Jewelry, Oriental goods and bank
rupt stocks. Kan has been dealing In
Japanese wares although for some time
he paid but ttO a quarter.
Mr. Wood declared that the ordinance
was unjustjy discriminating and that he
believed lt would be held unconstitutional
If tested in the courts. Kan, he said,
had been doing business for more than
20 years in Portland and desired to con
duct a legitimate auction house.
Members of the committee were unable
to grant Kan relief under the ordinance
and did not feel inclined to amend the
measure. They said that prior to its
passage the public had been swindled
right and left by auctioneers dealing in
Jewelry and Oriental goods. These latter
wares had not originally been placed In
the second class, but the measure was
amended to include them after the Expo
sition, when many dishonest auctioneers
began disposing of Japanese goods that
had been brought into Vhe city during
the Fair.
Four cripples petitioned the committee
for free permits to peddle shoestrings
and similar articles on the streets. Only
one of the applicants was present and he
was granted a 30-day permit and the
others were instructed to appear at the
next meeting of the committee. These
permits were regarded by the committee
as infair competition with legitimate
merchants and as a considerable number
has been issued the committee threatens
to grant no more.
