15 THE MORXIXG OREGOXIAN, SATURDAY, AUGUST 8, 1908. OR ALASKA Early Potatoes Will Command the Best Prices. LATER THEY MAY BE LOW Present Prospects Are lor Average Crop In Oregon Acreage Is Larrer, bat Drouth May Re duce Yield Per Acre. It Is too early for an accurate forecast of the Onion potato crop and Fall and Winter markets, but conditions at they stand now point to an average yield and the customary range of prices, varying with the progress of the season. In the opinion of D. E. Melkle. one of the leading potato buyers and shippers of Portland. The crop Is doing fairly well." said Mr. Melkle yesterday. "The acreage Is larger than last year, and If we should have fav orable weather from now on, we will prob ably have as large or larger crop than last season It is too early yet to tell what the quality will be. The hot weather has been ripening the early potatoes fast, those In tended for the Alaska trade. The later planted potatoes, however, are not doing so well, and if It should continue dry and hot they will ripen before they are fully ma tured. "Early potatoes for Alaska shipment will command good prices, as the buyers will have to look to Oregon for most of their supplies. Buying Is now under way for shipment to the Yukon and buying for the Southern Alaska trade will last until about the end of September. After the Northern demand is satisfied, potatoes will be cheap." WREAT 18 AS FIRM 'A3 EVER. But Not so Much Activity Is Reported From the Country. The Northwestern wheat markets did not show the activity yesterday that charac terised them on the earlier daya of the week, but there was no abatement In their strength. Reports from the country noted less pressure to buy on the part of export ers, but the buyers that were still In the market were talking up everything offered them at the same prices that were bid on Thursday. Otherwise the situation showed no change. The majority of farmers take a bullish view of the situation and their be lief In higher prices later Is fully shared by the local buyers. Judging from the readi ness with which they have absorbed all offerings at prices above current values, as based on the foreign markets. There was not murh change In grain prices at the Board of Trade yesterday. The last bid on December wheat was at 01 H cents, an advance, of i cent over Thurs day's close. September wheat was un changed at $1) cents. Oats and barley were practlcaly unchanged. Receipts were 15 cars and 2S07 sacks wheat. 1 car and SOB sacks oats, 4 cars barley. 400 sacks flour and 8 cara and 177 bales hay The range of futures was as follows: WHEAT. Open. High. Low. Close.

The sharp advance in the wheat market this week has added materially to . the strength of the local flour market. 'While there were Indications some time ago of weakening of values along. the Coast, these have passed away with the rise In wheat prices. Not' only Is there no likelihood of any decline In prices of old wheat patents, but there Is a possibility that flour quota tions may be raised in view of the general stiffening In grain values all over the coun try. Fruit and Vegetable Supplies Larger. The fruit and vegetable markets were better supplied yesterday and an Improve ment In the demand was reported. The re ceipts Included one car each of bananas, peaches, watermelons and Walla Walla on ions. There are due today a mixed car of orangea and lemons and a car each of watermelons and cantaloupes. Prices showed no Important change In any line. Slight Advance) in Hens. The country produce markets were slow, except In the poultry IJne. where the de mand for hens caused a half-cent advance. Eggs sold at the former range of prices. Receipts were 335 cases. Butter -was- In ahort supply and very firm with receipts re ported at 118 boxes.

FLUCTUATIONS VIOLENT Prics Are Steadily Upward Cntil Advance Overruns Itself and Sharp Setback Follows. NEW YORK. Aug. T. It wae a day of spec ulative excitement in the slock market and of violent and erratic price fluctuation. The bull movement started on Its way pros perously and reached a new high stage of prices for the year with great animation and buoyancy In the dealings. At the accelerated pace of the advance the movement over-ran Itself to some extent and paid the penalty In a sharp setback. The market was the largest In volume of the present year, the number of aharee which changed hands rising to 1,000.000 before 1 o'clock. Extensive covering by shorts has been a recognized factor In the later stages of the rise. The distress of the short In terest In American Smelting and" National Lead became so acute In the course of the day and desperation to punish them seemed so ruthless that the speculative temper be came discomposed and heavy unloading of several large accounts) waa precipitated. The buyers saw a chance to regain an advantage and raided prices downwrd In a quest for atop loss orders. The two Guggenheim stocks were con spicuous features from the outset by rea son of the late bulge yesterday. When 74 points had been added to yesterday's 64 points gain In American Smelting and Jumps of a full point between sales were made, the market took alarm. Considerable disorder resulted from this episode In the market. The Increased volume of transactions rep resented a substantial broadening of the participation, although concentrated buying from a few houses has been a feature through out the movement. There "was notable In crease in the attendance on. the floor of the stock excharexe. many brokers having re turned from vacation absences to share In the dealings. , Forecasts of the week's currency movement pointed to another heavy accretion to the cash holdings of the bar.Ui. The Subtreasury has supplied over (5,000,000 during the week, the continuing Government deficit requiring heavy disbursements by that institution. The movement of currency from the Interior, al though on a diminished basis, still added be tween (1,000.000 and (2,000,000 to the gains of the banks. The decline of Spring wheat during July, shown by the Government crop, represented a degree of deterioration that disappointed expectations as expressed by other expert estimates, especially as a small decline in condition Is to be allowed for in the weeTt elapsed since the date of the Government's estimae. The firmness of wheat prices after the publication, In spite of the active specu lation that has preceded It. was regarded as significant. The day's price changes are small when the width of the day's extreme fluctuations is considered. Bonds were firm. Total sales, par value, (5.394,000. United States bonds were un changed 'on call.

Fall Trade Opens at Leading Job bing Centers Failures Are Decreasing. NEW YORK. Aug. 7. Dispatches to Dun's Review Indicate further progress in the right direction, although improvement is slow. Boston reports that cotton mills are still curtailing- output, but larger sales of wool promise greater activity in the woolen in dustry. Drygoode Jobbers are placing Fall orders freely and the situation will be im proved by the auction sales. Drygoode trade is quiet at Philadelphia, but wholesalers re port more Inquiries. The steel Industry and building trades are more active. Drygoods markets at Pittsburg are seasonably quiet, but there Is a noticeable Improvement in or ders for the future. Conservatism prevails In all lines. Industrial conditions are slightly better at Baltimore, and more factories are operating, but wholesalers report a small attendance of outside buyers. The Interstate Merchants Association opened Its first meeting at St. Louis on August 1 and country merchants are arriving In large numbers, making satis factory purchases in most lines. The Influx of buyers is expected to continue until the middle of September. Kansas City reports that firms are placing orders freely in most lines. . Retail trade at New Orleans and shipments by Jobbers have been interrupted by heavy rains, which also retard harvesting of cotton and rice, but sugar cane prospects are bright. At Chicago, country merchants attend the wholesale and Jobbing markets In large num bers, placing orders that compare favorably with those of a year ago. DEVELOPMENTS MAINLY FAVORABLE Improvement In the Building Trade Fail ures Are Decreasing. NEW YORK, Aug. 7. Bradetreefs tomor row will say: Trade, crop and Industrial developments of the week are mainly favorable. The first of the Fall merchants" excursions are reported in leading cities, thereby enlarging sales by Jobbers and wholesalers. Industrial reports are generally of increased time run and the leading crops have approached a week nearer harvest. There are, however, some features accom panying this development deserving of note. There are statements from quite a few mar kets that early Fall buying is hardly up to expectations and that caution and conserva tism govern buyers' actions. The railroad are certainly buying more rails, care and also light supplies. The building trade evidently turned the corner In July, but reports of cur tailment in output of certain lines of cotton goods are still prominent.
