Bark Gets Close in Shore.
ASTORIA. Or.. Aug. 13. (Special.)
The pilot schooner Joseph Pulitzer sig
naled this morning that a steam schoo
ner bound south had reported a four
masted bark anchored close- in shore
about 10 miles above North Head. The
tug Tatoosh immediately cruised 15
miles up the coast, but could find no
trace of the vessel, so she is supposed
to have raised anchor and put off shore.
The name of the bark is not known.

RAIN HELPS HOPS
Moisture Was Needed in Val
ley Yards.
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

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.

PORTLAND LIVESTOCK MARKET.
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. The scarcity of hogs la
marked and will continue, as the Coast sup
ply Is entirely Inadequate and packers have
to rely on shipments from the East. Re
ceipts yesterday were 100 cattle, 900 sheep,
240 lambs, 45 calves and a few hogs.

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.
Veal Is still very Arm.
Tomatoes are arriving more freely.

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.

During September the frequency of
typhoons Is at Its maximum, and four,
five or even six of these storms may
be expected. For October the frequency
is considerably less. One of the earliest
signs of the approach of a typhoon is
the failure of the barometer to respond
to the diurnal oscillation.
