EUROPEAN YIELD LARGER English Crop Is Placed at 30,000 Cut. Oregon's Production Esti mated at ISO, 000 Bales.. Market Active and Firm. TCtanr, Wolf Nttpr, hnp-oalprs of tliis city, yesfprday finished the compilation of their annual statistics of the hop crop of the world. Thdr estimate of thfl American crop of 1!W7 is smt.000 hales, as compared Trim a yioia or dbicb ihm imi. -rop of Europe they estimate at 1,325.000 Pitindredwelght, as against 087,000 hundred WPiRht in l'.KKi. These figures ape the result of a large number of cables and wires received in the jjast few days. As the crops of the different countries have not hern entirely harvested to date, later developments may cause some Slight alteration in the estimates. It is worth noting that the firm k esti mates the, Oregon crop tills year at 130,000 bales. Its agents have covered the ground thoroughly and made detailed reports of the harvest returns up to the present time In every section. Estimates of Oregon nereto fore made by other dealers have varied widely, hut most of them have been consid erably belo.w this estimate. The probable production in England, vhirh is placed at 3HO.0O0 hundredweight, was estimated from the latest cables re ceived yesterday afternoon. The estimates of Klaber, Wolf & Netter follow: Kuropean Crops. Crop 11103 Crop tiWX. Crop tW7 Cwt. rwt. Cwt. Germany AUHtria . .Trance Belgium Russia . .

The market la taking on a considerable degree of activity, and dealers agents are numerous In several sections of the country. Values are regarded as on a firm basis, and the presence of so many buyers in the field "has further strengthened the views of grow ers. During the week Klaber, "Wolf & Netter liave taken on 900 bales, buying on both the East and West Side. Most of their orders f in the past two days have been for the American tradt but they have received a few export orders, and In filling these have Vaid S1. cents to the grower. ENGLISH HOP MARKET IS FIRMER. Ironmonger Cables There Is an Advancing Tendency. A London cable - received yesterday by Isaac Pincus & Sons, of Tacoma, from Iron monger, says: "The crop la coming down below the aver age expectation. Weather conditions reduce estimates 10 per cent. We estimate our crop at not exceeding 300,000 cwt. The market la firmer, . with Indications of an advance. At Worcester Fair yesterday the market was firmer, with the demand increasing. Grow ers are holding Arm." r The London Standard, of September 3, printed the following: The receipt of nop plantation reports of a distinctly more cjncouragtng character has caused the marke to relapse into a quiet state, report Messrs. Morris & Co. Foreign hops share In the dullness, and values of all descriptions continue in favor of brewers. In Vil districts a great improvement has taken place among the goldlngs, which are always more susceptible to the unfavorable influences of cold, wet weather than other more hardy ports. This year the improvement Is must noticeable in East Kent, where, at one period, a general collapse seemed imminent. Mid Kent, where the hops are now looking re markably well, does no seem to have suf fered so severely, and there is every - prom ise' that a crop of bright, stout hops, full of condition, will be harvested in this district. In the Wealdo of Kent and Sussex In both of which districts f uggles are mistly grown they are looking well and sound, having withstood the adverse conditions more easily. Surrey, Hampshire, Worcester and Hereford have not suffered to the same extent as the more easterly plantations: very little mould Is to be found, the cones are beautifully bright and healthy, and some of the growths - from these districts may ultimately prove to be of the choicest quality. It Is estimated that this season's crop will yield, with a continuation of suitable weather, 11 cwt. per acre, or a total of -403,10 cwt. This, coupled with foreign produce, and the residue of the last two years' crops still held by brewers (a large quantity of which Is lying In cold more), is sufficient to prevent any dearth of mocks for the next 12 months. The harvest will be two or three weeks later than usual. The quality of the English crop promises to be unusually good. Prices will be most reasonable, and an early and large trade Is fully anticipated. All foreign reports continue of a satisfactory character. The continental growth will be larger than last year, and their shippers are prepared to make forward contracts with London mer chants at low price for delivery this and next month A lost, Poperlngh and North French (packed in pockets) of first quality, at prices ranging from 42s to 45s (coftimoner sorts at less), Hollidaus 56s to 75s, Bohe mians 5fl to 70s (London term), America and the Pacific CoaM have large crops of good quality, and lnw prices have been quoted for forward contracts, but few brew- ers or London merchants are interested, most traders being now shy of this kind of bar gain, preferring to buy an average sample in order to prevent disputes. iWHEAT A CENT HIGHER AN"I ACTIVE. Car Situation Is Better Than It Was LuNt t Week. With a marked improvement in the car situ ation in the Northwest and higher prices in the San Francisco, Eastern and European mar kets, wheat had a very firm tone locally, yes terday, and quotations were up about lc all around. Dealers quoted club at 83c and blue stem at 84 85c and bought freely at these prices. Farmers are ready sellers, though many are asking more than the current quota tions. Whilo the car situation Is not all that can be desired, it is so much better than it was a short time ago that but little complaint Is heard. AM the principal grain markets of the world showed advance 3'epterday, Chicago leading with a rise of lc over the closing figures of . the previous day for the December delivery. The same option advanced lc at San Francisco. Liverpool -Options rose 2d, while cargoes made Jump of 8d. The Portlrfnd Merchants' Ex- change report Argentine shipments for the week, at only 28.000 bushels, as against 900. 000 buehels last week, while Indian shipments were M. 504.000 bushels, a gain of 144.0OO bush els over the previous week. . KRKSH COUNTRY EGGS VERY, FIRM. CHy Creameries Report a Shrinkage in Cream Receipt. One or two dealers report good arrivals of country eggs, but on the whole the supply rs limited. While the general quotation on Frffnt street is 30 cents, there are reports of sales being made as high as 32 H cents for strictly fresh guaranteed egg!. Poultry receipts were not as henry p.s on the preceding day. and, with a first-class demand, everything cleaned up at firm prices. The butter market would be !n better condition If it were not tor the big stock of second-grade butter on Front street. There Is a steady demand there or first- class creamery, hut the seconds are hard to move at any price. The city creameries report a gradual shrinkage !n cream re ceipts.

The fuit business was good yesterday, considering the local supply on hand. Apples comprised the larger part of the offerings. Only a few Mulr and Crawford peaches were on sale. Sal ways are due next week, but It is feared the rains in Southern Oregon may have damaged some of the crop. A shipment of fancy Toppenlsn cantaloupes was received, which were quoted at $1.50 per crate. Four cars of bananas will be on sale today. , Bla; Shipment of Clover Seed. ALBANY, Or., Sept. 20. (Special.) Seven cars of AUike and red clover seed, worth $24, ooo. have been shipped this season by Carter & Robson, of this city, to a wholesale house In Milwaukee, Wis.

BUT UNDERTONE IS FIRM Favorable Forecast or Week's Cur rency' Movement Strong Foreign Demand for New York City BondsPrices Are Higher. NEW YORK, Sept. 2". The stock market became very quiet today. Reports from brokers of the return of large blocks of stocks which had been borrowed for deliv ery afforded a clew to one : eason for the slowing down of the buying in the extent of the covering of short contracts which has been done. With the perception that buying of this character was largely responsible for the advance which has occurred In prices, operators were disinclined to enter on com ments on the long side of the market. Estimates of the week a currency move ment pointed again to a gairiby the banks. the figures Indicating between $2,000,000 and $3,000,000 as the amount of the increase. As the forecasts of the bank statement have In dicated a cash gain, which the actual state ment In turn failed to confirm, there was some hesitation today in operating in stocks to discount a favorable bank statement. The call loan market, however, ehowed return ing ease., . The foreign trade statement for August at tracted attention by reason of the small bal ance of excess value of exports over Imports for the month. This amounted to but $1,833. 352. compared with $24,104,453 in August of 1906. Not only was there a falling off of upwards of $2,000,000 in value of exports, but value of Imports had ruen more than $20,000,000 over those for Augunt last year. The present , movement of grain for export trade, however. Is heavy and reports were current In the grain markets .of some sensa tional buying of futures. It Is asserted also that the foreign demand for the New York City bonds is a pro nounced factor in the active market that has sprung up for thesesecuritles, dealt In "when issued." Their continued avance was the feature of the bond market today, the 50 year issue rising to 108. compared with an average price to subscribers of about 102. The 10-year issue also became active, today. advancing to 102, compared with an Issue price below 101. This movement Is of pro nounced tonic effect on the whole market The late reaction in the market was partly retrieved and the closing tone was firm. Bonds were firm.. Total sales, par value, $3,000,000. United States bonds were un changed on call.

FUNDS ARE NOT COMPLETE More Money Needed to Pay for Mc laughlin Memorial Insttiute. OREGON CITY. Or.. Sept. 20. (Spe cial.) The new McLoughltn Institute will be dedicated Sunday. October 6. it was originally planned to dedicate the building next Sunday, but numerous de lays in the construction have had to be reckoned with. Rev. A. Hlllebrand, pas tor of St. John's Catholic Church, Is ar ranging for the dedication ceremonies, and among the speakers will be H. W. Scott, editor of The Oregonlan; Freder ick V. Holman,. the biographer of Dr. McLoughlin; Archbishop Christie and several other well-known Oregonlans. The cornerstone of the McLoughlin In stitute was laid last Spring and the con struction of the building has been pushed with all possible speed. . The school will be thrown open for the re ception of pupils Monday, September 30. and as there are six large study and recitation rooms in tile -main building and annex, suffiolent accommodations for the work of the. institution is as sured. The cost of this memorial to Dr. John McLoughlin. the father of Oregon.' is about $11,000, and the expense has been borne mainly by voluntary subscriptions from the friends of education and from admirers of the sturdy old empire- builder, whose grave occupies a corner of St. John's churchyard. Father Hille- brand, who has been indefatigable in the work of bringing the establishment of the school to a successful termination states that there is not sufficient funds yet raided to defray the entire expense of construction, but that he hopes to be aided by the business men of Oregon City and the pioneer residents and by Portland people who - are interested in the project. The Dr. John McLoughlin Institute will be conducted along the broad, lib eral lines advocated by the old Doctor himself, and all who apply will be given an eaucation, regardless of their reli gious association. Instruction will be given this year In 10 grades, and next year two more grades will be added It is likely that a night school will soon be established for the benefit of the workers in the mills.
