YIELD OF APPLES
Prospect Good for Average
Crop This Year.
VALLEY MAY FALL BEHIND
Growers by Keeping Standard High
Obtain Highest Price and Com
mand Orders From Eastern
and Foreign Markets.
While the time is rather early to make
an estimate on the eomlnic apple crop that
would be of any great value, yet the pros
pect are such as to form a fairly accurate
general eMimate on conditions.
According; to the best-informed fruit men of
Front street, who keep in touch with the
various districts of the state, there will be
an average yield In the Hood River section,
lightly lets In the Valley and conflicting
reports a regards Rogue River district,
though the majority favor an average yield.
Cocs Bay country, partly because of lack of
quick transportation, has not yet figured in
the apple trade of Portland to an extent
that affect prices one way or the other. That
district, however, made an excellent showing
In Its thibit last Fall and is bound to be
come a factor in this market before a great
while.
The friendly competition between Hood
River and the Willamette Valley, carried on
for the lat few years for supremacy in the
apple industry, ha resulted in making Ore
gon apples bftter known in Eastern markets,
and orchardlsts are reaping the benefit tn
receiving higher prices for their product and
enjoying an increasing demand for their fruit.
Fo far as the state at large is concerned
it matters little whether Hood River or Wil
lamette Valley captures the greater number
of prizes at apple shows; but it doc concern
the whole state that the Industry he kept
up to the high standard attained so that the
besi prices may be obtained for the fruit and
added wealth flow into the coffers of our peo
ple. laft year there was a marked shortage of
cars at apple picking and packing time, which
Is expected not to happen thie year. Prompt
handling and delivery to KaMern markets are
iwwt desirable in the apple-shipping business,
and reports from the centers indicate that
the matter of good transportation facilities
la being brought to the attention of general
frotght agents now so that when the time
arrives everything shall move quickly and
atlsfactorlly.
Some Jmal1 early green apples appeared on
-the street yesterday from The Dalles, but
size and flavor compared unfavorably with
apple from California. Price was from 0e
box up, according to quality.
ACTIVE SESSION OF BOARD OF TRADE

C lose at 84c.
There was a better attendance thaii

ference of opinion among brokers as to

reasonable bids, the- former clslng at $1.15
and the latter at $l.12i5,

LEMON PRICES ARE ADVANCED
Hot Weather Causes Increased Consumption
All Along Coast.
Hot weather all along the Coast for the
last two weeks has had its effect on lemon
stocks. California reports a very firm mar
ket and an advance in price of 50 cents,
which was followed tn this market. Stocks
locally are by no means heavy, and besides
the local requirements ther is an Increased
demand from outside points supplied by
this city. i
Best grade fruit is now quoted at $5 to
$5.50 a box, the higher quotation being
pretty, generally reported by the largest
dealers. Limes are coming into more gen
eral use on acount of the advance in lemons.
Trade Note Picked Up Along; Front Street.
Commission houses handling baled hay
report the market In a weak condition, and
! that heavier receipts are reported than
this trade can absorb readily. While no
shading of figures has been reported as
yet, it Is the opinion of dealers that before
many days price lints will be revised.
The" Dalles country is sending to this
point Increasingly larger consignments of
fruits. There was nearly a glut in some
' kinds yesterday, caused by the fruit be
coming over-ripe in some varieties. Sugar
1 pears, for instance, weie not in prime con
dition, but sold fairly well at that.
All lines of fruits were in full stock
all day. Seedless, grapes came through in
shipping quantities, as were also apricots
and peaches.
Two cars of bananas were due to arrive
last night.
Strawberries and gooseberries are prac
tically out of the market.
There waa a noticeable scarcity of black
raspberrlee reported along the street.
Futl stocks of red raspberries and logana
were carried by all fruit houses.
Cantaloupes were very scarce toward the
close of the day and price was advanced
to $3 a crate. Full receipts are expected
Monday.
Smooth, plump tomatoes are hard to find
1n the market, but reasonable stocks of In
ferior grade are found in some of the ware
house !.
Hravlrr Kkb R-M, Affect Price.
I"ndr heavier receipt, of epits the price
receded yesterday to 24 to 24 Vi cents a
doaen. with moat aalea reported at the lower
figure. An effort wu made to hold the price
at 25 cents for best frrade. and a few com
mission houeta declined to sell at less, but
some of the others wera willing to close at
24 and got the hutMness. The market may
not remain longer than a day at the decline,
but commission men hsve found it much easier
to drop the prlre than to restore It again.
This time tn both liM) and l'.tv" eggs were
quoted in this market at 22 cent, but as
consumption Is greater and production not
proportionately keping pace, the camparison
has no particular signilloance.

BREAK IN STOCKS
Stop-Loss Orders Uncovered
in Decline.
SCARED AT ROOSEVELT
President's Order to Push Retrial of
Standard Oil Company Results in
' Selling Orders From Heary
Holders of Stocks.
NEW YORK. July 24. Speculative liqui
dation on a large scale broke prices of
stocks badly today. The fall was gradual
and restrained in the early stages, but be
came more precipitate as It progressed, un
covering stop-loss orders. Knowledge of
the existence of such orders emboldened the
professional operator to make short sales
and to offer concessions in prices in making
these sales, thus forcing declines.
Speculative liquidation and short selling
have been in evidence this week, but were
overcome by the force of the buying de
mand. It was tn this respect the market
show ed a notable change today, the buying
orders, except at prices below the opening
level, showing a material shrinkage.
The order from President Roosevelt to
push a retrial of the Standard Oil case was
a professed motive for much of the selling,
especially among those who had bought
stocks largely on the ground of the decision
in tavor or tne standard oil company
The buying demand prompted by that
decision was fed by realizing sales yester
day and the day before by those who had
bought stocks at a lower level. The di
gestion of profits in that way Is supposed
to have been very large and to represent,
moreover, the passing of stocks from the
hands of the powerful groups which have
fostered the advance into those of scattered
holders, much less wealthy and much less
skillful and practiced in the conduct of
speculative operations and the manipula
tion of prices.
There was developed an element In the
speculation whose dealings had been largely
reduced at a handsome profit and which
was thereby made indifferent to further
maintenance or advance of prices and will
ing to see a substantial reaction and an
opportunity to get hack stocks at an ad
vantage. That such technical considerations
were largely responsible for the turn In the
price movement there can be no doubt.
The extent and duration of the advance
which had already occurred emphasized
this condition. The nature of the reports
put In circulation to sustain the upward
movement has pointed to the excess into
which It was running. Yesterday's reports,
for Instance, that the 'United States Steel
Corporation subsidiary officials were meet
ing here to concoct measures for starting
up full capacity of the companies was met
by the formal statement of President Corey
that the present activity of the plants rep- t
resents 95 per cent of its capacity. ,
There has been active speculation also
based on an assumption of the favorable
outcome of litigation affecting various cor
porate Interests in a large way. such as the
suits under the commodities clause "of the
Hepburn act and against fixing rates for
gas.
The Influence of the success of the Stand
ard Oil appeal against the fines levied upon
it waa seen In the jump In prices of some
of the stocks affected most by speculation
and In which realizing sales, in conse
quence, have been unusually heavy. The
day s news offered a little change In gen
eral conditions.
The week's currency movement indicated
another huge accession to the cash holdings
of the local banks, the subtreasury opera
tions and the movement on balance from
the Interior making an Increase of about
$10,000,000 for the week. The stock market
was quiet in the latter part- of .the day, but
showed -no effective recovery, the day's
losses running quite generally from 1 to 3
points.
There was a pronounced contraction In
the volume of the bond market and the
tone was easy. Total sales, par value,
$3,020,000. United States 2s registered de
clined 4 In the bid price.

Strength Stays With Chicago!
Wheat Market.
FOREIGN DEMAND HELPS
Revival of Damage to Dakota Crops
Is Important Factor in Keeping
Market in Strong Posi
tion All Day.
CHICAGO. July 24. Tha wheat market dis
played the greatest strength of tha day soon
after the opening, when price advanced ap
proximately lc above the previous closing.
Shorts and commiaelson house were eager
bidders at the outeet and offerings for a time
were meager. ,'
The chief reason for the sharp upturn was
the strength of foreign market and a hot
wave throughout the Spring wheat country,
whicrf revived old rumors of the wheat crop
in the Dakota deteriorating on account of
drouth.
Toward the end of the first hour offering
in the pit became more free, which resulted
in a reaction. The trade during the last
half of the session was rather quiet, but sen
timent continued bullish. Large primary re
ceipts, however, tended, to check any further
advance.
The market closed firm. September opened
to c higher at 91 to 91c, advanced to
92c and closed at 91S91c.
The corn market showed decided strength
early, owing to the continued small move
ment and the limited amount of contract sup
plies In store here. Shorts 'were active bid
ders for the September delivery, which re
sulted In forcing the price of that option up
to 77c the high point of the season. Later
the market eased off somewhat. The close
was steady. September opened 1Tc higher
at 7676c, advanced to 77c and closed at
7Wic.
Oats were strong early, September advanc
ing lc. Nearly all the gain was lost later
on libera realizing by local holders. The
close, however, was firm. September opened
Bc to u.(ac higher at 45 to 4531c.
sold up to 46c and then declined to 454
45'ttc. The close was at 4&lfii4:c.
Provisions were weak all day because of
general pront-taklng ny both local and out
side longs. At the close September pork waa
off 17 c. lard was down 12(415c and ribs
were 12c lower.

Bradstreets Report ConBdenco In Trade Out-
. look Throughout Country.
NEW YORK, July 24. Bradetreet's to
morrow will say:
Good crop reports, the advance of the sea
son and growth in confidence as to the trade
outlook are reflected in reports of moderate
enlargement or future buying at a few large
centers, notably in the west and Southwest.
Industrial lines, too, have been benefited
by evidences of revival In demand and the
number of idle operatives has been reduced
as a whole. Still the progress-making is of a
very conservative kind, curtailment of indus
try is still a marked feature and small orders
for immediate shipment largely make up the
volume of business aoing ny jobbers.
Retail trade Js fair as a whole, twlng stimu
lated by price reduction aaies, though com-
Blalnt of mocks not moving rapidly come
from other cities and collections show little.
If any. Improvement. Best reports come from
the Central West, Northwest and Southwest
and the excellent outlook for the cotton crop
makes for a bitter tone ox advices from tha
South.
Numerou resumptions of cars hope concerns
are a feature and the number of Idle cars
has unqueionab!y been reduced by the lib
eral movement of wheat to market. Lumber
has a better tone and there is more doing in
building at many cities. Business failures

Dunn's Review Optimistic.
NEW YORK, July 24. R. Q. Dunn & Co.'s
weekly review of trade tomorrow will say:
Industrial plants gradually enlarge the
percentage or active machinery, furnish
ing more work for wage-earners, which
stimulates retail trade, while favorable crop
progress strengthens confidence in a con
tinuance of recovery In business. New con
tracts for steel products are being placed
witn more rreeaom ana collieries resume
that were closed by the drought.
Both Chicago packer and country hide
markets tend upward, cattle receipts show
lng a decrease. A further advance of i
full cent is noted In foreign dry hides, which
are scarce.
KIDNEY CALISTHENICS.
The kidneys are very much like the liver
and other organs of the body. Frequently
when they get out of order all they need Is
the proper exercise to strengthen them, tons
them up to the proper performance of their
duties, and assist In getting rid of the
Impurities which are clogging them. Lane's
Kidney and Bachache Medicine Is the one
best medicine for this iwork. It acts direct
ly on ths kidneys and restores them to
health In ths proper way. You should buy

lowing symptoms: Dull pains In ths calves
of the leg, loss of appetite, swelling In the
lower limbs, dizziness, blurred eyesight or
