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

Local Flour Market Is Stronger..
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.

Largest Volume of Trading
Since Year Began.
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.

1H THE RIGHT DIRECTION
BUSINESS IS IMPROVING, BUT
PROGRESS IS SLOW.
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.
Business failures In the United States for
the week ending August 6 number 205,
against 275 last week, 157 In the like week
of 1807, 137 In 1908. 16fl In 1905 and 187 In

same period number 19. compared with 32 last

Holding; Curry County Wool.
GOLD BEACH. Or., Aug. 7. (Special.)
Sheep shearing Is about completed In this part
of the country, 1he clip has averaged fairly
well, but there will be little or no selling at
present prices. Growers think a rise in price
is to be expected and almost without excep
tion will hold for It. Offers have been made
as low as 13c. T. S. Dlcklns, of San Fran
cisco, lately passed through the county, but
made no offers, saying he could not meet
the 16e which waa asked by the growers here.
Last year at this time wool was bringing 21
and 22 cents.

Large salmon. 30 pounds or over, 7 cents
per pound; small salmon, under 30 pounds, 5
cents per pound; silversides, 2 cents per

line between "small" and "large" flsh Is
raised from 25 pounds to 30 pounds.
