AFFECTS COST OF BURLAP Oregon Cannerft Hold Back An nouncement of Price List of This Season's Goods No Fu ture Delivery Business. According to report received by the New York Journal of Commerce from India the forecast for the coming Jute crop as made by the Indian government falls to a 28 per cent decrease compared with the last yield. If this estimate proves to be well founded and should appear in the final re turns, the result will be severely felt In this part of the .country, on account of the ad vance In price of grain bags, wool sacks, hop-baling and other important Industries here that make large use of burlap. The market Is reported as fairly steady at the present time, with full stocks in Jobbers' hands, but many of these large holders will be unable to hold their stocks against a possible rise in prices next sea son. Many of these have obligations to tneet In the banks that have advanced money on storage certificates and which will not be willing to carry over the loans for another year, even if the Jobbers cared to run the risk of carrying over the stocks. For this and similar reasons the probability Is that no apparent effect will come this eason from the reported short crop. The Journal of Commerce report is as follows: The preliminary forecast made by the Indian government regarding the jute acre age for the year JftOS-u was received yes terday. The figures given are 2.8H8.0O0 acres, a shrinkage of 2 per cent compared with the amount planted a year ago. This Is shout what was generally expected, and confirms the reports on Jute that were pub lished In these columns during the week, which stated that the jute acreage In India this year would be 27.2 per cent less than last year, although the estimates printed before were based on the returns from only a part of the Jute growing districts. There is a difference of opinion regard ing the probable yield per acre. In some quarters It is contended that only 24 bales of Jute to the acre will be harvested, while other well-informed authorities believe thnt 2 bales can be obtained from every acre sown. In the former case the total number of bales of Jute will he about 7,100,000 and In the latter case 7.tVOO,noO. If the government estimate Is verified by the final forecast in September it will show that the acreage planted this year Is the ffmallent since 1904. Among local dealers it is thought that the effect of the figures received yesterday will be to slowly strengthen the market. In the year of an abnormal burlap demand prices would harden immediately and a sharp upward flight of values would he the outcome; but while It Is not considered likely that this will happen in the near future because of the star kness In the burlap trade, advices from Calcutta state that sellers have with drawn from the market to await the eltect of the forecast. Moreover, It was reported that the di rector that Issues the acreage figures Jias supplemented his report with a statement concerning the size of the holdover of old material, which this official Is alleged to have stated would be quite small. This, however, could not be confirmed, and the general opinion here Is that the amount of Jute that will he carried forward will be close to 1.000.0O0 bales. RETAIL, GROCERS HOLD BACK. Hevy Pack of All Varieties of Fruit Rea son of Drlay. Retail grocers are holding off In placing their orders for future delivery canned fruits, principally for the reason that the pack this season promises to be extremely heavy, both in this state and in California. Oregon canners have not yet announced their prices for this season, but of course will do so before many days. All varieties of frutts are of prolific yield this year with the exception of plums and prunes, which are reported as dropping badly in the Santa Clara Valley. California. Canners have made a large pack of cher ries and berries and are now working apri cots and the later varieties of cherries. The Eastern packers are also prepared to handle unusually large amounts of fruit this season, and peaches, particularly, will reach former proportiona Last year the yield waa small, but this year came back to normal. The following report Is from a New York trade paper: The peach crop from the Delaware pen insula last year amounted to only ltsti cars, by reason of adverse conditions. It Is ex pected that this year it will require more than 3S00 cars to handle the output. With this Idea In mind, the Pennsylvania Rail road is planning to send to the peninsula during the next six weeks a large number of refrigerators and ventilator cars. These will be stored on side tracks, and be ready for immediate use as the peaches are brought in from the orchard. Trains will then be made up as rapidly as the loaded cars accumulate, , and the cars will be rushed to market on passenger train sched ules. GRAIN OPTION'S REGAIN LOSS.

On account of the good prices prevail ing In the country for cream, there is re ported to be quite a marked falling oft In the amount of country butter coming In to this market. Besides, the pastures are not in the best condition and supplies of cream are affected for that reason. There is a fairly good demand for country butler In Sau Francisco, and the occasional lots are stut there after butter is allowed to rest in cold storage few days to get Into some Sort of shipping shai.e. The last steamer brought up from Cali fornia an assortment of mixed vegetables which were handled promptly. The lot was mostly of artichokes and celery New potatoes were quoted yesterday tn some quarters at uoe with a fairly full supply reported. Oregon Eurbanks were priced at 7ofc0e. Bank Clearings.

ALL TAKE PROFITS Wall-Street Speculators Both er Investors. HARRIMAN NEEDS MILLIONS Central Pacific Issue of $18,000, 000 Bonds Rather Staggers Bond Market In Xew York, Caus ing Some Reaction. NEW YORK, July 21. An added weight of sales had to be borne by the stock market today and some effect waa produced on price, by this pressure. The market comported Itself on the whol. in a manner to keep up the courage of those committed to a con tinuance of the rie In prices, showing good power of digestion of the selling and excellent recuperative force when the pressure light ened.. An element of the speculative holders was disposed to take profits on the rise already achieved, and another professional element, watchful for Buch a contingency, joined in the selling on the short side and offered prices down In an attack on the. long position. The process of digestion of profits was healthy for the market and the building up of the short Interest made a supporting factor for values. Reading was a prominent sustaining force in the market and it was run up aggressively In the face of a declining tendency in the genera liHt. There was no news to explain the strength of the stock. The suggestion found currency that the movement was in an ticipation of an outcome of the suit to test the validity of the commodities clause of the Hepburn act In favor of the contention of the company. The small effect produced on United States steel by the sales of It to realize and its ag gressive recovery to a price higher than was touched yesterday was a sentimental sus taining Influence on the whole market. Reports were current that the revival In the steel trade was making such demands for additional care In the Pittsburg district as to threaten a shortage in a few weeks and to caufs a rush in the repair shops to replace equipment. Shops In that region, however, were under the disadvantage of the poor showing of the net earnings for June reported by the Baltimore & Ohio. The announcement of an Issue of $18,000,000 Central Pacific bonds proved of rather chilling effect, both to the stock and bond divisions of the market. Southern Pacific. which guarantees the bonds, was noticeably affected. The prospect of this amount of new supplies of offerings caused some reaction in the gen eral bond market. Bonds were irregular. Total sales, par value,- 4.7o8,uOO. United States bonds were unchanged on call. CLOSING STOCK QUOTATION'S. Closing ' Sales. High. Low. Bid.
