HOPS ARE FIRMER
Healthier Tone in American
and European Markets.
DEMAND FOR CONTRACTS
Salem Firm Lifts 1908s to Nine
Cents Slow Movement 'in Last
Year's Hops Local Fruit
Trade Shows Less Activity.
A distinctly firmer tone is apparent in
the hop market on the Coast, In the East
and In Europe. The demand for apot hops
In the Went la still mlnw, and will proba
bly continue so throughout the remainder
of the season, though rather more inquiry
Is reported in New York. The healthier
undertone in the; market is attributed to
the clearer view that can be taken of the
coming crop situation. That the 1008
world crop will be considerably under that
of last year Is now plain.
Interest in the Oregon market centers
in the contract trade. The price of lOSs
has advanced from 8 cents, which was paid
last month, to 9 cents, which lias been
paid In the last few days. This figure
has been freely offered by Lachmund &
Pincus, and it Is reported they have writ
tea several contracts in different sections.
One of these deals was with Miley, of
Aurora, for 10,000 pounds, and another. was
, with a Champoeg grower. H. 1. Hart this
' week closed a contract at 8 cents. There
is a difference of opinion as to the quan-
1 tity of new hops contracted for. Very few
have been recorded yet. but It is said that
fully 25,000 bales have already been bought
in advance in Oregon, and some authori
ties estimate the amount at 35,000 bales.
There is much speculation as to the part
being taken in the movement by Lachmund
& Pincus. Their connection with Paul
R. G. Horst naturally leads to the surmise
that Korst has found means to launch
another bull campaign for' the benefit it
would have on his enormous holdings of
old hops. Whatever is the object, any
thing that will have the effect of lining
prices will be 'cordially welcomed by the
growers.
Trading in 1007 hops has been on a small
scale in the past wek. The demand is
slow, but at the same time growers are
holding decidedly firm. One of the most
recent transactions was the purchase by E.
C. Hirren, of the Killenberger & Mayer
. lot, of OS bales at Lebanon at f cents.
H. L. Hart secured several small lots ag
gregating 70 bales at prices ranging from
4 to 4 cents. The Seavey Hop Company
bought ISO bales at 6 cents, and Henry L.
Brents bought 71 bales at 4Vi cents from
J. P. and A. Fuller, of Aurora.
LIGHTER DEMAND FOR FRESH FRUITS
Cantaloupes Are Quoted Lower Strawber
ry Market Wnk.
The fruit mHrket was not as active yes
terday as it - was on the preceding day.
Retailers evidently bought too heavily
earlier in the week and the cool weather
also had the effect of putting a damper
on the demand. Receipts were not large,
but a good assortment was carried over
and prices generally were maintained, ex
cept on cantaloupes,' which declined to
$2.75 3 per crate. The supply of this
fruit was increased by the arrival of an
other car from California.
This strawberry market was weak and
the street .had a considerable supply of
stock on hand at th& close of the day.
Cherry receipts were lighter than . usual,
and this gave the market a .chance to
clean, up. -
TERRITORY WOOLS IN THE EAST.
Better Movement Is Reported in Western
Clips.
Mall advices from Boston report a bet
ter business passing In territory wools, in
the past week about 1,250.000 pounds in
all is estimated to have changed hands.
Including considerable sold by one firm.
Most transactions, however, are in lots of
25.000 pounds to u 0,060 pounds each. A
good portion, of the transfera of clothing
wools was at prices ranging from 13j to
3 4 He, the scoured cost -being around 45c.
A fair amount of medium sold at lti to 10c,
including a small lot of 12,000 pounds Soda
Springs quarter blood at 10c, about 175,000
pounds, part half blood and fine medium,
at 10 to IS Vic, and fair-sized quantities of
New Utah and Wyoming" at 19c, to cost 47
to 48c, clean. Other transactions include
150.000 pounds fine clothing at 16c. cost
ing 50c scoured; 100.000 pounds line and
fine medium at 14 He; 100,000 pounds fine
and fine medium Idaho at 15c, and "5.000
pounds fine at 13 to J.5c. Of new Arizona
clothing wool 50,000 pounds changed hands
at 15Hc, to cost 44 to 45c, clean. Trans
fers of 125,000 pounds fine clothing are re
ported on the scoured basis of 50c.
BUTTER MARKET IX HEALTHY TRIM
No Prospect of a Change Jn Prices In the
Immediate Future.
The butter market continues firm here,
as it is in all parts of the United States,
and there is no Immediate prospect of a
change in conditions. The city creameries
have little surplus over their local and
shipping orders and what is left Is put
into storage.
There was a fair demand for pqultry
yesterday, but it was not sufficient to cause
any material advance in prices.
The feeing in the egg market is stead
ier. Buying has not expanded, but receipts
have fallen off considerably In the last few
days.
Hop Crop Con clit ions In w York.
The latest issue of the Waterville Times
says of the hop crop in that section of New
York State:
With perfect weather the vine is put
ting forth its best efforts, is free from
vermin of all kinds and presents a most
grutlfying appearance. If the growers will
live up to t heir best interests and pick
only clean, bright hops it would seem that
after the miserable stuff offered last year
a sample of this kind ought to bring a
fair price.
Grain Trade Is Dull.
All the grain markets are slow at the
present time. There is little demand from
any quarter. Several of the grain mer
chants are in the act "of moving their
offices and are paying but little attention
to the grain business, prices are unchanged,
except on wheat, which Is quoted lower.

PORTLAND LIVESTOCK MARKET.
Prices Quoted Locally on Cattle, Sheen and
Hogs. 9
-The livestock market continues slow with
no important changes in prices. The de
mand for cattle is reported light, and the
presence of much grass-fed stock adds to
the weakness, but in th-a trade it is thought
no further decline will be necessary. Al
though receipts yesterday were light, the
largo number of sfieep. hogs and lambs
lately received have put these lines, also,
on an easy basis. Yesterday's arrivals were
90 hogs, GO cattle and 40 calves.
The following prices wore current on live
stock In the local market yesterday:

Professional Selling Ascribed to
Politioa4 Slot i ves Further Gold
Exports Are Ixoked for
e.t Week.
NEW' TORK. June 19. Operation in
"tock? remained largely In professional hands
today, although the movement of prices wu
iomewhat freer than on earlier days of the
week and a: the expense of value,. Pro
fessional traders professed political motives
for the selling of stocks, pointing to the antt
lnjunctlon plank of the Republican platform
aa a matter for disquietude to holders of
securities and the likelihood of the campaign
dlscuFsslon taking a tone of aggression on
corporations was also dwelt upon.
Th motive of the buying yesterday was
an assumption that with the Republican
nominations out of the way. some general
demand for stocks will soon ensue. London
adopted this supposition and started prices
of American securities higher today. The
expected demand did not develop and dis
appointed professionals who bought yesterday
were sellers In conxequence. News of the
closing of a Philadelphia trust company was
accorded a significance which the dimensions
or the failure seemed not to warrant.
With the news of the arrival In this coun
try of the head of the banking firm which
is purchasing maturing coupons on Erie Rail
road bonds, the troubled affairs of that prop
erty were brought Into notice again and ru
mors circulated that a thorough reorganiza
tion of the finances was In contemplation.
A bad sentimental effect was produced by
another sag in the price of Union Pacific re
funding bonds "when Issued." The resistance
of the bonds at below the subscription
price had given the impression that they
were pegged at that price, which is 9S. To
day they sold at In connection with
reports from bond dealers that the Invest
ment demand generally for bonds had died
out. this Incident was of influence.
Further disagreement in the iron trade
over prices of bar iron and a probable open
market for that product was reported.
No more gold was engaged for export.1 hut
the exchange market was said to be affected
by remittances from abroad for subscriptions
to the TTnlon Pacific bonds and further ex
ports are looked for next week. Discount?
rates were higher in Paris and lower In Ber
lin. Money rates here showed undiminished
ease. The banks have made another heavy
gain In caeh this week. Confidence In the
continued ease of the money market is not
at all impaired Last prices of stocks were
not far from the lowest of the day.
Bonds were irregular. Total sales, par
value. J2.S82.000. United States bonds were

FOR FALL TRADE
Merchants show confidence
in the future.
Seasonable "Weather Causes Expan
sion in Retail Sales, but Business
on Whole Is Quiet.
NEW YORK, June 19. R. G. Dun A Co.'s
Weekly Review of Trade tomorrow will
aay :
Preparations for Fall trade are on a
fairly liberal scale, testifying confidence in
the future. Jobbers are receiving moderate
supplementary orders for prompt shipment,
while retail sales expand In response to
seasonable weather.
Building operations Increase at many
points, creating a better demand for lum
ber and other materials, but there Is still
a decrease in most comparisons with last
year's volume. Mercantile collections are
more prompt and money is abundant, de
spite continued exports of gold.
RETAILERS' STOCKS ARE NOT LARGE
Filllng-ln Orders Are Very Frequent. But
Not Heavy.
NEW YORK. June 19. Bradstreets to
morrow will say:
Aside from the continuance of a better
tone as regards the future and some further
enlargement of Industrial operations, not
ably in textile lines, there is little news to
report as to trade. Business as a whole
has been quiet. There Is general agree
ment that retailers' stocks are not large,
but filllng-in orders continue to be frequent
rather than heavy. Fall bu5-ing has been a
trilie larger at Eastern and Central West
ern centers, but conservatism and a dispo
sition to await crop and political develop
ments operate against anything like free
buying. Collections are backward as a
whole.
Building Is less active than a year ago,
and the unemployed in this line are very
numerous.
Business failures in the United States for
the week ending June 18 number 254, which
compares with 253 last week.
Wheat, Including llour, exports from the
United States-and Canada for the week
ending June IS aggregate 3,419,944 bushels,
agaJnst.jf.004. 57 last week.
Bank Clearings.
NEW TORK. June 19. Bradstreet's bank
clearings report for the week ending June
18 shows an aggregate of $1,163,877,009 as
against $2,226,049,000 last week and $2,562.-

BAD FLOOD IN LEWIS RIVER
Farmers Driven From Homes Hay
Crop Almost Total fioss.
- WOODLAND. Wash.. June 19. (Spe
cial.) High water In the Columbia has
done great damage to the ranchers and
dairy people living In the bottoms west
and south of Woodland. Many farmers
have been compelled to move with all
their possessions and stock. The hay
crop will be almost a total failure, as
but little had been cut before the high
water came, the season having been
very backward on account of cold
weather.
The stage of water at Woodland In the
north fork of Liewis River is now 14 feet
9 inches. The river is still rising at the
rate of three inches a day. Another foot
of water will cover nearly all of the
river bottoms and will run the loss fig
ure up to large proportions. There has
been no interruption to traffic, but the
heavy rains of the last three days, while
of great benefit to the upland farmers.
will probably cause slides in the new cuts
made on the Northern Pacific road and
may cause some delay to Vancouver and
Kalama trains.
