ONMARKETFIRM
Walla Walla Crop Has Been
Disposed Of.
THE CONDITIONS IN OREGON
-
riook Good for High Prices This
f'Fall First Sale of Xew Oregon
i Hops Reported Big Local
Demand for Fruit.
President A. J. Fanno. of the Confed
erated Onlongrowers' Association, hm re
ceived word from W. S. Ofrner. of the Walla
"Walla Produce Company, to the effect that
supplies of Walla Walla onions have been
practically exhausted. The crop, which waa
all along known to be light, turned out to
be- even less than expected. All the globe
' onlone .have been disposed of jind the Dan
vera are about gone. The latter did not
hold up as well . as expected and growers
have been pulling them out of the fields
and -.lipments of late have been heavy.
The onion crop In other parts of Wash
ington Is a light one and the California
nop is also short. It Is regarded "by onion
men aa certain that high prices will pre
vail this Fall, and by reason of the removal
of tne: Walla Walla crop as a factor, the
market Is already taking on a firmer tone.
The members of the Oregon association are
Voicing their onions stiffly, and while there
ts no Intention to pool their holdings, they
are determined to market the onions Judici
ously, as they did last year, and thus get
all that Is posisble out of them. In spite of
the good market prospects, however, there
are a Jew growers outside the association
who1 are selling rather freely and speculat
ors are eagerly buying up such lota at
about 11.10.
The condition of the Oregon onion crop
shows no material change since the. last
report. Borne fields are showing Improve
ment, but the total output will not be very
much Increased.-
. HIDE MARKET IS DEMORALIZED.
Prices Are Lower Than They Have Been
for Years.
SAn extremely weak tone prevails in the
Ide market. Prices now are lower than
tney have been for several years, some
grades of vgreen hides having decltned 4
cents since the first of the year, while dry
hides have dropped fully 6" cents In that
time. The trouble with the market, on the
whole, is overproduction.
Chicago mall advices, received yesterday,
said of the situation there:
There are no signs of Improvement in the
hide situation. Packer branded hides con
tinue especially weak and sharp declines
have occurred. One packer has accepted
very low bids as compared with previous
.mles. but other packers have not followed
the lead In these declines as yet. Recent
sales of Texas hides have been made as
low as 13c for heavy. 11 &c for light and
lOHc for extme. Colorados have dropped
to 11c and branded cows to lOfec. The
market on branded cows Is particularly
easy and buyers' bids for further lots of
these are not over 10c. There has ben a
fnlr demand for native hides. notably
steers, and the market on these has ruled
steady. i-iales of late salting native steers
during the past week hav amounted to
about 20.000 at 14c, and about 1.1,000. heavy
native cows have been sold at 12Hc. Coun-,
try hides continue to decline and 'Chicago
Mlffs are now freely offered at 10 c. with
buyers only bidding 10c. The market on
foreisn hides Is absolutely stagnant and not
a single sale of these has been made In
New York during the past fortnight. Prices
are entirely nominal and . the largest hide
buyer in the-country Is keeping entirely out
of the market, not only on domestic packer
and country hides, but on all descriptions
of foreign stork.
The market on all kinds of sole leather
continues to hold steady despite a lack of
demand, as the receipts from the tanneries,
owing to the curtailment, are light ami pre
vent supplies from accumulating. It Is ex
pected, however, that stocks of sole leather
will be Increased In the future, as the pack
et's are tanning their old long-haired hides
which the tanners refuse to purchase, and
arrangements are already being made with
leather dealers for the marketing of this
leather owned by the packers as soon aa it.
is ready for sale.
FIRST SALES OF 1907 OREGON HOPS
Price Is IVfr Cents and T. A. Llvesley Is the
Purchaser.
It was reported from Independence yes
terday that T. A. Llvesley & Co. had bought
two lots of hops on the West Side at 7tt
cents. The particulars were not learned.
These are the first spot transactions in 1907
hops, except In the Eaily Fuggles, most of
which have now been sold.
A coble was received yesterday by Isaac
iPlneus & Sons, of Tacoma, -from Ironmonger,
at London, as follows:-
"Our market shows a decided -Improvement
this week and a better Inquiry pre
vails. Sales were made as high as 70
hillings."
A Utlca, N. Y., wire to the same firm was
fes follows:
"Picking Is general. Lice have made their
appearance In most yards. There Is enough
vermin with unfavorable weather to cause
mold. Since our last report crop prospects
are not so promising. Weather Is too rainy.
Crop promises to be 25 per cent short of last
year."
Plncus At yjns also received the following
wire from Santa Rosa. Cal. :
"Vermin is increasing and honey dew. Is
showing. Mold and vermin are causing
great damage and the crop promises to be
a third short In Sonoma."
The Ireland-Wells Company has received
samples of new hops from E. C. Horst's
Sacrament yards, which show a crop of ex
cellent quality and very cleanly 'picked.
ITtllT TRADE OF LARGE PROPORTIONS
Watermelons Clean fp. and May Be Scarce
for .Some Time.
The hot wove Is having a very cumulating
effect on the fruit market. Loctl stocks
have been sharply reduced In the Het two
days and In some II:. es. watermelons e.-vca-dally,
a shortage exists. Only a few cars et
California melons are known to be rolling
and owing to the scarcity .of cars in the
Scuthern state, it Is a question whether
further supplies will be available from that
quarter. Southern Oren melons are also
slow to put In an appearance, but some may
be received later In the weeg.
Arrivals of peaches were light, and as
most of the poor stock has been worked
off. the market has a healthier tone.
Two Curs of Eastern Eggs.
Two cars of Eastern eggs were put on
the market yesterday, but fresh country
eggs were so scarce that some dealers quot
ed up tc 30 cents for ranch stock, most of
the sales, however, were reported at 28 and
29 cents.
Poultry was In excellent demand, hens
especially, but Spring chickens also sold
well. The trade would be gladd to have
more hens, but farmers seem averse to part
ing with them now.
There were no new developments In the
butter market, which, on Front street, was
generally quoted weak.

LINCOLN. Neb., Sept. 10. Claiming

Railroad with gross discrimination in
passenger traffic and demanded that the
State Railway Commission make an
immediate investigation. 'They allege
that the Union Pacific has barred local
passengers from trains Nos. 1 and 2
and 7 and 8, between Council Bluffs
and the Wyoming line. Hawken and
Nation submit that they were refused
tickets and were prevented from going
from Council Bluffs to Fremont. Tha
railroad .officials claim that the Inter
state traffio demands that the local
passengers .be barred, . A hearing will
be granted.
A BREAK IN COPPER
Mining Stocks Seriously Af
fected in New York Market.
ENTIRE LIST. FEELS IT
Hill Group Depressed by Rumor of
' Coming Inquiry of Interstate
Commerce Commission.
Profit-Taking Sales. .
' NEW YORK, Sept. 10. There were vari
ous cross-currents In . the speculation In
stocks today, and .the most obvious effect
of the conflicting Influences at work was to
stimulate a considerable revival of activity.
Prices moved more freely than for some
time past, and the professional room traders
had their opportunity to operate in and out
of the market on a large acale. It Is prob
able that the day'e dealings were made up
in an Important proportion of this class.
Yesterday's seeming determination to ab
stain from operations until the result of
the New York City bond sale and the Gov
ernment crop report should become known
was abandoned and the business during the
morning at the stock ekchange . was In ex
cess of the average for a full day's aggre
gate for some days past.
The principal development of the day. and
which caused the weakness of the copper
stocks and Influenced the whole market,
was the renewed unsettlement In that trade.
The reduction of the quarterly dividend dls
bursent on the Calumet & Hecla stock from
$20 to $15 was an example of the effect of
the fall In the. price In copper that was of
conclusive effect on sentiment, owing to the
important share In the production of lake
copper enjoyed by the company. Hitherto,
there has been a disposition to assume that
the decline in copper has not seriously Im
paired the earning power of the company,
partly owing to the fact that the previous
high prices were believed to have been made
for small amounts, while the level still
maintained represented a good margin of
profit on production. These assumptions
were shaken by the Calumet A Hecla In
cident. The effect was aggravated yhy an
other disorderly downward shoot 'In .the
quotation of copper In London, and by an
other fractional reduction In the price per
pound in the local metal exchange. Reports
were In circulation of gloomy anticipations
held In the trade of .the possible further
fall in the metal.
The general list was Inclined to disregard
the full effect of the copper weakness for a
time and did not. at any time, share fully
In the weakness of that group. The acute
depression in the Hill group owed some
thing to the report that the Interstate Com
merce Commission inquiry Into the legality
of the close relations between the railroads
In that group was to be revived and actively
pushed. - .
The fact that considerable profits had ac
crued to speculators long of the market at
the low levels touched last month, increased
the disposition to sell with the evidence of
Instability In the market. There waa a
momentary pause In the decline on the an
nouncement of the decision against the
Pennsylvania 2-cent passenger fare law. The
probability of this decision has been can
vassed for some days past and was an in
fluence In the previous betterment of the
market, so that Its effect wal about ex
hausted before the news was announced.
The Government report on the .September
1 condition of the cereal crops was re
garded as bullish in the grain trade, and.
therefore, bearish on stocks. The wheat
crop now made, however, is evidently suffi
cient to supply an exportable surplus at
highly profitable prices. The present prom
ise of a large, though not a record, corn
crop is accepted with the hazards of a late
frost taken Into consideration.
No details of the bids for the New York
City bond Issue in tabulated form were
available in Wall street In time for the con
sideration of the stock market, but enough
was known of the terms of the principal
bids to make It evident that the total issue
would be taken at a pramium fa-iy corre
sponding to the quotations established for
the bonds when Issued in the curb market.
This, also, no more than confirmed previ
ous favorable Inferences and failed to re
store strength to the market, the closing
prices being at about the lowest of the day.
The unprecedented number of bidders for
the New York City bonds waa not without
Itt Impressive effect as evidence of stirring
of Investment Interest in the ranks of cap
ital. The easing tendency of call money rates.
afte.- the early stiffness, was accepted alsoH
as indicating the passing of the effect of
the. bond subscription requirements. The
failure of a minor Btock exchange firm was
wltl.out significance.
Bonds were steady. Total sales. par
value. $914,000. United State bonds were
unchanged.

STURGEON APPEAR AGAIN
Canada Revives Dying Fishery by
Restrictive Laws.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU,
Washington, Sept. 10. Wise legislation
enacted by the Government of British
Columbia is reviving the sturgeon fish
ing Industry of that province of Can
ada, according to a report recently
made by Consul L. E. Dudley at Van
couver. Commenting on the situation
Mr. Dudley sayp:
For several years previous to 1901 the
sturgeon fishery In the Fraser River was
an Important Industry. One million pounds
of fresh sturgeon packed In Ice was shipped
East annually. A very considerable
amount of sturgeon roe was shipped each
year to Kurope to be manufactured Into
caviare. The sturgeon then almost en
tirely disappeared from the river, and only
a few barely enough to supply the local
demand were taken. The disappearance of
this fish has been attributed to oyerflahlng.
During the last half of July the sturgeon
have appeared In large numbers. Nearly all
are small, and would easily pass through
the sturgeon nets, but a very large number
have become entangled In the salmon ' gill
nets. These are supposed to be returned
to the water In all cases where they have
not been killed.
Under the law and the regulations, no
sturgeon under four feet In length may be
sold In the markets here, nor shipped
abroad. The fishermen have, therefore, no
temptation to fall to return to the water
all fish under this length which they have
not been obliged to kill to get them out of
their nets. One night recently a sturgeon
11 feet long, weighing more , than 300
pounds, was taken In a salmon net. With
proper observance of the regulations for
conserving this fish. It may again be ex
pected within the next two or three years
to become a profitable Industry.

the selling movement. Later, the market ral
lied slightly because of a decrease of 2.0(12.000

FAILS TO GET ITS SHARE
St. John School District Must Wait
for Pioneer's Bequest:
The residue of James John's estate has
been turned over to the trustees, accord
ing to the provisions of the will, and
after all the St. John School district does
not get any part of It for the reason that
there Is no way, under the provisions of
the will, by which it can be turned over.
The will requires that all funds shall be
turned over to the trustees of the fund.
It la estimated that the entire estate In
cluding block No. 29. in St. John, is worth
about $18,000. The block Is now valued at
$10,000.
There is history yet to be made regard
ing this block and the little fund that yet
remains. Perhaps when Portland has a
1,000.000 people it may be worth several
