AIDS BURR DEVELOPMENT Crop Conditions In California and In New York State Wheat Star- ket Quiet, but No Lower. Plenty of Watermelons. Hopmen w'elcome the rain and hope it will continue for several days. The long period of drouth haa affected all the yarde. the poorly cultivated ones severely and others to a less extent. The rain will help bring the hops in the burr and freshen the yards generally. Some reports have- come in of the presence of red spider, but they excite no alarm. R. Cunningham, of Santa Rosa. Cal., writes to The Oregonlan under date of August 10 as follows: Since my last hop report there has been no marked change in the market or crop. There is no business doing in the market and no sales, save 200 bales of choice So nomas at cents. No desire to purchase new crop on contracts Is ehown by dealers or agents here and nothing le being done. Extremely dull or dead Is the thing called a market for hops. The crop Is looking as well an last year and making about the same advancement. The yield is estimated In fhut county at about 20 to 30 per cent leas than last year, but dealers are claiming it to be almost as heavy ae last year. Sacramento and other counties report a decrease In the yield of 30 per cent from last year's crop. No vermin has appeared yet and picking will begin In this county in about two weeks. There are about 15O0 bales of 1907 hops yet In growers' hand and no demand for them. Hall & Richardson, Santa Rosa hop dealers, report on August 10: Our market continues very quiet, with lit tle or nothing doing. There was one con tract made in Sonoma lae-t week for a term of Ave years. 250 bales at a price averaging slightly better than 10 cents for each year. It would be no trouble to contract here In this county for the 1908 crop at 8V, cents and probably there are some growers that will need money to harvest their crops that would consent to contract at loss than 8tfc cent. It looks like some hops will be left on the poles unpicked, as there are some growers in this state who will not be finan cially able to harvest their crops. There has been aome talk of late by growers In both Sonoma and Faaramento sections to pick only a certain portion of the crop. They want the growers of thie state to leave about 20 per cent of their crop on the poles. They are agltatlag this movement now, but we doubt if anything will come of it. The crop here seems to be doing fairly well. Some yards seem to be turning a little yellow; this Is no doubt caused by the drouth we had early In the season. The general opinion here Is that the crop will be light. Some dealers put the crop in this state as low as 65.000 bales, while others put It ae high as 80.000. but we think our esti mate of from 70.000 to 73.000 bales' will be very near correct. New York hop crop conditions are reported by the latest state papers as follows: The hot, dry weather still- continues and Is holding up the growth of the hops, which are now well burred out. We hear of no tendency on the part of any growers In this vicinity to estimate their coming yield above that given In former reports, the tendency being toward reduction If anything. How ever, the yards are Mill clean and free from blight of any description. Waterville Times. There is no change to be reported in the new crop. The hops are not making rapid progress on account of the dry weather. Cooperstown Farmer. With the hop harvest due Ui a little mora than five weeks, the condition of the crop In Franklin County at this time may be said to give promise of a far better yield than last year. We hear of lice In some yards near Malone. but the complaint le not gen eral. 'Malone Gazette. The copious rain of Friday and Saturday saved hop9. as well as other crops, from serious damage by drouth. The yards are greatly benefited, but no new arms nor blows will appear, and It is now certain that the crop will be a light one. not over two-thirds in Schoharie. as well as in the other hop growing counties of the state. Schoharie Re publican, a WHEAT DULL BUT SO LOWER. Farmers Firm Holders in All Parts of the Country. The wheat market was very dull yesterday. Shippers were not In the market as buyers and very little business was reported from the country. Local prices were quoted un changed by the trade, notwithstanding the drop In the East. -The firm position of the Pacific Northwestern markets can be at tributed largely to the strong stand taken by the farmers, who, since the recent ad vance, show no disposition to sell at any lower prices. They are not alarmed by the temporary slumps occurring In the Eaetera markets and. as a class, are well able to hold their . wheat until they get ready to se it. The best bid for wheat at the Board of Trade yesterday was 88 cents. September was offered at 9134J2 cents and December at 91593 cents. For September oats $1.22 1.25 was bid and fl.2Vj9-l.30 for December. There was a single bid of fl.MH for Septem ber barley. Receipts for the day were 22 cars and 1970 sacks wheat. 3 cars and 1181 sacks barley, 1900 sacks flour, 6255 sacks corn meal and 1 car and 605 bales hay. x SMALL CROP OF EARLY POTATOES. Long Drouth Had Serious Effect In the Valley. t It Is the hope of potato dealers that the rain has been general In the growing sec tions, as the farms have been much In need of moisture. A hard rain three weeks ago would have been more welcomed, but even sow It is not too late to do good. A very light crop of early potatoes Is pre dicted by JSV. H. McCorquodale. who has been Investigating conditions In the Valley. He says: "The early crop will be even shorter than the growers anticipate. The acreage Is con siderably larger than last year, but the yield per acre has been cut down by drouth. In some patches I found from 35 to 60 per cent of the potatoes undersized, that cannot be sold at all. In some isolated sntts the potatoes have matured well, but there will be very few for shipment to the North be fore three weeks.' Clover-Seed Crop Short. The clover-seed crop In the Willamette Valley is reported to be very short. Owing to the dry weather, the clover from which the farmers expected to get seed did not fill at all and it is probable that little or no seed will be shipped from the Valley this year. In the past many carloads of clover seed have been shipped from Oregon to California, Texas and other points in the South, but this year supplies will have to be brought from the East. Poultry Market Is Firmer. Light arrivals of poultry and a good demand have caused a stiffening In values, especially of hens, most of the sales of which yesterday were at 18. cents. Springs were in lair de mand at 15 cents. There was a better Inquiry for eggs all along the line, which caused a decidedly firm tone In the market. The advance In butter was general and buying was active at the new pries. Six Cars of Watermelons Arrive,. Watermelon receipts were heavy yesterday, consisting of six oars. Because of the rain the local demand fell off somewhat, but ship ping orders were good and most of the stock cleaned up. Cantaloupes were In fair sup ply and cheaper at 1262.50. Prices other wise were about steady. A car of oranges and lemons was received. Bank Clearings. Clearings of the Northwestern cities yes terday were as follows: Clearings. Balances.

Prices Current Locally on Cattle, Sheep and Hogs. With good receipts of livestock, prices hold up very well, as the demand continues active. Some interior cattle are coming In, but this is to be expected at this season of the year, but the proportion of underfed stock is light.

WHEAT DOWN AT SEATTLE MORE GRAIN IS OFFERING AND PRICES WEAKEN. Quotations Shaded by Butter and , Egg Trade Yakima Fruit SEATTLE, Wash.. Aug. 12. (Special.) No effort was made to hold the wheat mar ket up here today and prices dropped of their own accord. There was a decline of 2 cents on all grades over yesterday's prices and this afternoon bluestem was selling at 90 cents, fife at 87 cents and red "Hussian at 85 cents. With more SDOt grain offer ing, the sentiment of dealers Is that prices will continue to soften. The grain committee of the Merchants Exchange has recommended that an allow ance of 3 cents per bushel be allowed on deliveries of cars of bulk wheat during this season's crop. Yakima fruit was conspicuous by its ab sence in this market today. Shippers are apparently making good their word that fruit will not be shipped here until some adjustment of the express charges is made. Despite advances In butter and eKKS, there was some price-cutting in a wholesale way today. One or two concerns are long on butter and anxious to clean up. There was a weaker market on poultry today.

BEGIN WORK ON NEW DEPOT Foundation of East Side Passenger Station Is Under Way. The preliminary work on the founda tion of the East Side passenger depot, to be built on the northwest corner of East First and Bast Morrison streets, has been started. Between East Alder and East Morrison etreets East First street is being rilled. The west half of the plat form has been removed and it is an nounced that someof the contracts for the building have been let,, although It has not been announced what sort of a depot building Is proposed. Piles will be driven, through the fill for the foundation. Under the fire ordinance it must be fireproof. The Southern Pacific had a permit for a stucco building some time before the fire ordinance was extended to cover this site, but assurance was given a committee recently by Manager J. P. O'Brien that a fireproof structure would be built, and that It would be finished before the end of the year. Mr. O'Brien also said that it would be adequate to take care of the traffic and would be an attractive structure. Agitation for the defiot wa3 started several years ago. Forecasts for September.
