Strong Demand From Alaska
Points.
FAIRBANKS ORDERS IN
But Crop Will Not Be Ready for
Large Shipments to That Sec
tion Active Demand for
Fresh Fruits.
Potatoes are going forward on Alaska
orders and buyers are paying from $1.10 to
II 25. the top figure for atrictly fancy stock.
The quantity available at thia time, how
ever, la not lance. Were the Oregon crop a
little earlier, the movement would be a
heavy one, aa shippers have good orders
from Fairbanks and Cltena. but they have
to get the bulk of the supply from Cali
fornia. Potatoes for Fairbanks go in by
way of St. Michaels, and the Mackinaw, the
last steamer to leave, sails from Seattle on
September 1. a date too early to permit of
the handling of much Oregon stock.
Fairly good potato prices should rule
throughout the country this season. Invest
gatlons by the Department of Agriculture
showed the condition of the ITnited Statee
crop on August 1 to be S2.9 per cent of a
normal, aa compared with S9.8 on July 1.
UK'S. SS.5 on August 1. 1P0T. S9 on August
1. 1906 and S8.S. the ten-year average on
August 1. In the Pacific Coast division the
condition on August 1 last was S3 per
cent, a decline of 3.3 per cent since July 1.
and 4 4 per cent lower than August !. 10O7.
The ten-year average condition in the Coast
district is 9. 4 per cent.
LOCAL. FLOCR MARKET 18 FIRM.
Prices Not Affected by Scrapping at
Seattle.
The recent decline In the Seattle flour
market has no effect on flour prices here or
elsewhere In the Northwest: In fact, prices
hare been advanced In the last few days at
some points east of the mountains. The
Plica cutting at Seattle is the result of a
fight between a few millers there and the
low prices named are not Justified by con
ditions In the wheat market. The flour
market !n Portland is quoted firm with a
steady demand.
Wheat buying continues on a small scale,
as farmers are hard holders. Prices offered
oy exporters yesterday were unchanged.
At the Board of Trade the feeling was
firmer. September wheat cloyed with a gain
of one cent and December closed lj cents
higher. Oats were unchanged with $1.30
bid for September and $1.35 for the later
delivery. For spot oats $1.35 was offered.
Barley was 2 4 cents higher at the close.
Receipts for the day were 1 cars and 850
sacks wheat. 300 sacks oats. 5 cars barley.
4 cars middlings and 14 cars and 74 bales
hay.

STRONG DEMAND FOR FRESH FRUITS
Large Receipts of Peaches From Roeehurg.
Cantaloupe Are Firmer.
The fruit market was booming yesterday
with supplies amp In all lines. Peach re
ceipts were the largest of the week, 1500
boxes arriving by express, mostly from
Roseburg. Many of these showed the effect
of heat. Prices ranged from 40 to S5 cents
with most sales around GO cents. California
peaches wera weaker at S5 cents.
Five cars of watermelons arrived and
they moved freely at firm prices. Jobbers
find It hard to get their orders filled. Canta
loupes cleaned up better and were quoted
firmer at $1.75 for the best.
A straight car of Malaga grapes, the first
of the season, was due last nignt. They will
be offered today at $1.50. Rose of Peru sold
at $1.25. and for common Dalles stock 85
cents to $1 was the quotation. Seedless
( grapes will be out of the market until shlp
menta from Yuba City arrive.
Two cars of bananas were received in the
afternoon.
Hot Weather (berks Baying of Eggs.
The sultry weather has had the effect of
checking tho demand for eggs somewhat,
but recelpta of strictly fresh stock are so
limited that full prices are readily ob
tained. Extras were again quoted firm at
24327 rests. Total receipts for the day
were 2S caaes. Seattle la In the market,
but at low prices.
Thera waa a strong demand for chickens,
which were quoted Arm because of light ar
rivals. The butter and cheese market waa quot
ed firm and unchanged. Butter receipts
were 67 boxes.

Butter Expected.
SEATTLE, Wash., Aug. 19. (Special.)
Ninety-two cents was asked today for blue
stem wheat on the Merchants Exchange, but
no sales were put through at that price.
The highest bid was 00 cents. An impres
sion prevails among some of the dealers
that the buying movement of a. week ago
will be" resumed toward the end of the
month, when boats begin to arrive on the
Sound to load for export. Oats and barley
were firm. The tendency ts for higher
prices.
Although late varieties of peaches are not
abundant, this was the leading fruit on the
street today. The top price was $1. Prices
ran down to as low as cents.
Butter is Arm. In view of the fact that
prices are several points lower than at the
corresponding date last year, and with an
exceptionally heavy demand, -the prediction
was made on the street today that an ad
vance will occur soon, possibly on Satur
day afternoon.
Poultry Is strong.

DULL Hi NARROW
Stock Trading on Very Small
Scale.
IN PROFESSIONAL HANDS
Harrlman Issues Show Increased
Strength Metal Shares Pressed
for Sale Railroad Bonds
Are Heavy.
NEW YORK. Aug. 19. Brleflr summarized,
today's Mock mark.t waa dull, narrow and
meanlngls. Trading waa very much cur
tailed and It required but a cursory glance at
the list of buyers and sellers to make clear
the professional character of the day-, opera
tions. The Increased strength of the Harrlman is
sues la ascribed to further digestion of the
annual reporta of the Union Paclflo and South
ern Pacific, recently submitted, wherein It
was manifest that both systems have mada
material reductions In operating expenses,
despite the increased taxes Imposed, which,
In the case of tha Southern Pacific, seemed
well nigh onerous. '
The metal stocks wera pressed for sale fre
quently during tha day, American Smelting
being heavily sold by an operator recently
Identified with tha advance. Belief that the
movement in American Smelting and Amal
gamated Copper has been somewhat overdona
prevails In many, quarters, especially as trade
conditions have taken a less favorable turn
with three distinct reductions In the price of
copper metal. United States Steel shares
were relatively heavy. Advices from the lead
ing' Industrial centers indicate a very slow
renewal of operations, but with better pros
pects for such.
The only feature of the money market was
tha offering of call loans at per cent. The
general tons was easier on larger offerlnga
Railroad bonds were heavy. In sympathy
with the stock list. Total sales, S2.436.U0O.
United States bonds held steady.

ABUNDANCE OF MONEY
IDLE CAPITAL IS BEIN'G USED
FOR SPECTJIATIOX.
Cause) of Late Rise lrt Stock Spec
ulation Position of New
York. Banks.
Henry Clews writes from New York
under date of August 15 as follows:
Bevond question the abundance ana
cheapness of money has been one of the
most influential factors In the late rise In
the etock market. It furnished the big
eperators with an unlimited supply of funds
with which to carry stocks at low rates;
and cheap money always means dear stocks
sooner or later. Our banks are literally
glutted with Idle funds, and although crop
moving demands have commenced the New
York banks show a surplus reserve of about
$60,000,000. which is near. if not exceeding
the record. This phenomenally plethoric
condition of the money market Is attribu
table to two Influences: First, the dimin
ishing activity of business; and, second,
an excessive and unwholesome expansion In
our currency.
As to the first cause the facts are un
pleasantly familiar. Business in general Is
running between 10 and 20 per cent below
last year in volume, and In some cases the
shrinkage Is even greater, the Iron trade,
for example, running less than 60 per cent
of Its capacity. The lower range of prices
established for many commodities also
lessens the requirements for money. Happily
these depressing elements are gradually
passing away; and surely, if slowly, we are
recovering from the disasters of 1907. The
great expansion of our currency, however,
has not received the attention it deserves.
According to the last statement lsaued by
the Treasury Department the amount of
circulation In the United States was $3,045.
000.000 or $264,000,000 more than a year
ago. This Is a huge Increase, and comes
at a time when the supply of currency
should contract rather than expand. Of this
enormous circulation $1.309".900.000 was in
gold coin, bullion or certificates, which Is
$219,500,000 more than on August 1, 1907.
Here is inflation of the most pronounced
type, especially If the banks are to grcnt
credit on the usual basis of 4 to 1 on gold.
Where does this great pile of gold come
from? Well, the United States. In addition
to an already large stock of the precious
metal, la producing annually at the rate of
$100,000,000 and over. Last Fall we Im
ported -more than $100,000,000. of which we
returned only about half. Much less is now
being consumed in the arts or for adorn
ment than formerly, owing to business de
pression, and . considerable amounts have
been returned from hoarding since the
panic.
In ordinary times we should reduce such
a swollen surplus by exporting it to Eu
rope. But the foreign banks already hold
about $150,000,000 mere gold than a year
ago and have no present need to cfcll upon
us, with South Africa breaking all records
In output. In July the Rand district pro
duced 690,000 ounces of geld, compared with
683,000 ounces in December.
1 This world-wide ease In money and surfeit
of gol.1 must exert an Inflationary effect
upon value.. When not wanted for pur
poses of legitimate business lt will surely
be used for speculation. Such a state of
affairs may be undesirable, because reaction
will surely follow, delaying rather than
accelerating genuine recovery.

OPTION MARKET IS FIRM
September and December Deliveries
Show Greatest Strength Oats
and Corn Advance Pro
visions Strong.
CHICAGO. Aug. 19- The wheat market
was firm all day. but trade was of slender
volume. The September and December de
liveries showed the greatest strength, the
May option being depressed to some extent
by the excellent weather for harvesting the
Spring crop in the Northwest. There was
a fair demand here for rash wheat and a
local mill paid the highest price on the
crop, $1.33 per bushel for old No. 1 North
ern, for. It waa said, delivery In Chicago.
Advices from Minneapolis reported a brisk
demand for cash grain at a stiff premium.
The market closed firm. September opened
ttc lower to Ve. higher, at 92 (&92t4c, ad
vanced to S3V4(a93c and closed at 934
93 He.
Corn was firm at the start and contin
ued more or less so all day. September
opened Hc to llAe higher at 76
77 &c, held within that range, and closed
firm at 774c.
The feature of the oats market was the
relative strength of the September de
livery compared with the distant futures.
September closed firm at 48 c.
Provisions developed a firm tone about
the middle of the session after an easy
opening. The close was firm, with fleptemf
