WHEAT IS STRONG
Market Shows an Upward
Tendency.
FOREIGN PRICES HIGHER
Increasing Demand for Bluestem In
the Pacific Xorthwest General
Advance In Prices Is
Looked For.
Sentiment In the local wheat market has
become decidedly bullish and another ad
vance In prices seems Imminent. For sev
eral weeka Portland exporters have been
buying heavily. In many Instances at prices
considerably above the market. They oper
ated on the assumption that such specula
tion was justified by the strong underlying
position of the market and that foreign
prices would In time come up to their basis.
Their assumption proved correct, for the
European markets have now reached the
stage where the recent purchases show a
profit. Instead of buying above export
values now. the prices current here are
probably under the foreign basis. At any
rate, it Is believed in the trade that a gen
eral elevation In quotations la likely to be
made In the next few days.
Private cablea received yesterday showed
strengthening markets In Europe and made
the prediction of better prices In the near
future. The cables ot the Merchanta- Ex
change reported cargoes steady at 87s 6d.
with Liverpool options 4 higher at the
cloee.
All the world is looking to the Pacific
Northwest for Its supply of white wheat,
stocks of which. In Europe, are deficient
and are absolutely required for mixing with
the darker wheats. The demand for blue
lem In this section Is. therefore, becoming
stronger.
The Merchants' Exchange reports Argen
tine shipments for the week as 560.000 bush
els as compared with 1.472.000 bushels laat
week: India shipments 2B4.O0O bushels
against 112.000 bushels last week, and Aus
tralia. 160.000 bushels compared with 224.000
bushels last week.
Oats were prominently strong at yester
day's session of the Board of Trade. For
September tl 40 was bid, an advance of S
cents over- Thursday's closing. For Decem
ber, f 1.41 4 was offered. Wheat waa about
ready with 89 cents offered for September
and 90H for the later month. Barley was
firm and 2 cents higher than the pre
ceding day.
Receipts for the day were 58 cars and
8250 aacks wheat, 3 cars and 233 sacks oats,
cars and 300 sacks barley, 2 cars mlll
aturTs. 22 cars and 487 bales hay.

RAIN GOOD FOR THE HOP CROP.
rale erf .Salem Ijot at S Cents Vtewa of
James Plncus.
Yesterday's rain, which extended over a
good portion of the Oregon hop belt, was J
welcomed by the growers. It will nelp tn
hopeio -mature and will add many bales,
even to the yards that were but poorly cul
tivated. The rain la also likely to extermi
nate the red spider, which has become trou
blesome In some sections.
A market transaction of much interest to
the trade was the sale by Thomaa Holman.
ot Salem, ot 327 bales of 1907s to Ed C.
Ilerren at 3 cents. As the hops were ot very
good quality, the sale shows a considerable
depreciation in market values In the last
tew weeks.
There la much talk of contracting, but
nothing definite tn this line has been made
public. It ia said contracts have been made
from 5 to 7 cents and half the rise. It
Is certain, however, that many growers are
becoming anxious with the near approach of
picking time, and some of them are having
much difficulty in arranging for the financ
ing of their harvest operations.
James Plncus, ot Tacoma, who waa at -the
Belvedere Hotel yesterday, says that In the
next two vears Washington will cease to be
a hopgrowlng state. The growers have be
come discouraged over the low prices and
are putting the land to more profitable
usea He bellevea California will be the
next atate to quit hopgrowlng. as many of
the large growers there are about all in,
and In a few years practically all the
American hops will be raised In Oregon.
"I think the market this year will open
at about 8 or 9 cents." said Mr. Pincua
The best export hops will probably sell at
10 cents. I cannot see why there should be
any very low prices or high ones. I look
for a steady market during most of the sea
son. The worst feature ot the situation Is
the big stock ot hops the brewers are carry
ing. The American crop is sure to be light,
not over 210,000 bales, but the foreign crops
will be Increased. England, according to our
latest reports, will have 500.000 cat., and
the continent 1.100.000 cwt. Conditions may
improve In this country after the November
elections, but Just now the brewers are not
Interested.
"There Is a good deal of foolish talk going
on about the short sellers, but anyone who
knows anything about the market knows
there has been but little short selling so far.
The Indifference ot brewers haa made such
business almost Impossible. The big dealers
axe long."
It la not surprising that Mr. Plncus and
the other hop dealers should find the brew
ers hard customers, considering the falling
off In the consumption of beer. The Govern
ment figures on the production In July,
which have Just been received, show a de
crease of 773,330 barrels as compared with
July laat year, while for the first seven
months of the current year the shrinkage
has been 2 138.244 barrels. The official
figures for the seven months compare as

COOt, WEATHER CHECKS FRUIT TRADE
Melons of All Kinds Are Hard to Move.
Pencil Kerelpta Lighter.
The fruit business continues quiet because
of the unfavorable weather. Watermelons
are especially slow and cantaloupes do not
fare much better. A lot ot poor local canta
loupes are on the market and some are sell
ing as low as 50 cents. The beat are quoted
at ft. 3091.73.
Peach receipts were not so heavy yester
day and the market waa firmer at 60 R5
cents for good average offerings. Grapea
moved fairly well at the former range of 1
prlcea A good many off-grade apples are
coming In and ara hard to dispose of even
at low prlcea.
Tomatoes are still a drug on the market
and receipts are moved with difficulty.
Sales were made yesterday as low as 23
cents. A car of sweet potatoes was re
ceived. Poultry Receipts Are Large.
Poultry receipts were again large and
with a lighter demand the market was
easier, especially for chickens.
Egg receipts were small, only 170 caaea.
The mirkft -was quoted firm with nlu of
extras at 200 2T cents. I
Butter was firm and unchanged. Receipt
from the country were 73 boxes. The cheese
market was Quoted firm with a moderata
movement.
Sugar Down 20 Cents.
All grades of sugar declined 20 cents per
hundred yesterday. This change, which was
the first In many weeks, was the result of
the weak condition of the Eastern market.

STOCKS ME BID UP
Aided by Increased Demand
for Bonds.
TRADING FAIRLY LARGE
Southern Pacific Establishes New
High Record Earnings of Atch
ison and Missouri Pacific.
Close Is 'Heavy.
NEW YORK, Aug. 28. There was another
up bidding of prices on the stock exchange
today, interspersed with frequent periods of
profit taking. The day's business was fairly
large, but again the bulk of the trading
was in half a dozen Issues, Reading, the
Harrlmana, Smelting, the Steel shares and
Amalgamated Copper.
Some new theories and conjectures were
advanced to account lor the rise in toum
ern Paclflo, which made another new high
record, but they were given no encourage
ment in official circles. Obviously, the large
short Interest which existed early In the
week haa been put to rout. If not com
pletely eliminated.
The Increased demand for bonds, a con
splcuous feature of the last few days, haa
done much to restore confidence in the
market and a broader and more general m
ouirv for high-class issues Is confidently
predicted. Crop advlcea at hand today were
In line with the encouraging news ot
early week, but latest advices from the
flood districts In the country fully confirm
previous dispatches telling of very heavy
damage to growing cotton and serious losses
In various Industrial and mercantile lines.
The stock market became dull in the
early afternoon, but not until a demonstra
tion In Reading had carried that stock up
1 points. The buying came from interests
previously Identified with bull movements
in that stock, and was attended by rumors
of favorable developments tn the property
shortly. In the group of specialties, the
feature was Consolidated Gas, wnicn u
vanced over four Dolnts on moderately
large purchases. The result of the day was
hardly satisfactory, some of the more sub
stantial early gains being changed to losses
before the close, wnicn was neavy.
Estimates for the week's cash gain varied
from $3,300,000 to $3,500,000, but whatever
the showing tomorrow, the banks are now
so glutted with money as to maac n m
l,Hal HlffdP.llMi.
The most Interesting railroad returns of
the day were that of Atchison lor juiy,
which show heavy decrease in gross earn
ings, but reduction of expenditures converted
this into a net gain. The publication of
this statement was followed by a smart
rise in the stock and Increased activity In
the convertible bonds. Missouri Pacific
rendered its report for the fiscal year show
ing a net decrease in operating revenue of
about $.1,800,000. but like Atchison Its June
statement showed a net Increase.
Bonds closed steady after some loss of
their early strength. Total sales, par value,
$3,440,000. Government bonds were un
changed on call.

Wheat Market Is Strong Most of
Day at Chicago Bearish
Ji'ews Ignored,
CHICAGO. Aug. 28. The feature of trade
in the wheat pit waa an urgent demand for
the September delivery by snorts and caen
Interests. The amount of offerings of that
option caused lt to cell at one time on a par
with the December option, and at tne close
the premium on the latter month waa only
ec. '
The market opened strong on a general de
mand by comrniaselon houses, Inltiel quota
tions) ahowlng gains of c to S,c. The
strength at the start was due largely to an
advance of d at Liverpool, which, it was
said, was the result ot the small amount of
shipments of wheat last week from Argen
tina. Liberal receipts in the Northwest and
weather conditions In the Spring wheat coun
try, which were generally favorable for the
harvesting and movement of the new crop,
were seemingly ignored. . The market lost
some of Its bullishness later in the day, owing
to selling, based. It waa claimed, on a de
cline In the price of caeh wheat at Minneapo
lis and Duluth. The greatest selling press
ure was on the December and May deliverlee.
The market for caeh wheat waa steady on A
fair demand.
Export business waa quiet, but It waa re
ported that a lot of hard Winter wheat had
been sold for export, and Duluth and Toledo
also reported moderate sale. The close waa
firm. Export for the week, as shown by
Bradstreet's. were equal to 4.625.000 bushels.
Corn was firm all day. The close was firm
at net gains of c.
Oats closed easy at declines of 'c.
Provisions were firm. The market closed

BUYING IS HEAVIER
Business Is Growing in the
Western States.
TRADE ON PACIFIC COAST
Activity Slowly Increasing In Indus
trial Linefj Lumber Production
Expanding Labor Trou
bles Are Few.
NEW YORK, Aug. 28. Bradetreet's tomor
row will say:
Buyers are more in evidence this week, and
as a result business has expanded measurably
at leading Western and Pacific Coast points
and at a few Southern centers. Some new
stocks are reported being bought at Chicago,
which - Is rather In contrast with a year ago.
when the coming depression had already be
gun to make for precaution In embarking In
new enterprise. Despite the Improvement,
however, the volume of business does not
equal that of last season, and conservatism
and caution are still visible. Retail trade
is dull the country over.
Industry tends to Increase in activity,
though elowly, but current production ts still
be'.ow anticipations In many instances. Lum
ber production has, however, shown expansion
at the South and on the Pacific Coast.
Money has begun to flow to the country
to move the crops, but otherwise the demand
Is light and rates are very easy. High-grade
commercial paper is in notably light supply,
an evidence that uw mercantile operations
are, being governed by conservatism. Crops
generally have made fair progress toward ma
turity. Business failures In the United States for
the week ending August 27 number 232. against
238 last week. 167 In the like week ot 1907,
138 In 1906 and 161 in 1906. Canadian fail
ures for the same period number 27, as against
89 last week and' .29 last year.
Wheat. Including flour, exports from the
United States and Canada for the week end
ing August 27 are the largest since last Feb
ruary, aggregating 4.523.603 bushels, against
8,907.779 laat week and 3.808,868 thts week
last year. For the nine weeks this year the
exports are 27.298.351 "bushels, against 26.285.
406 in the corresponding period last year.
Corn exports for the week ere 39.108 bushels.,
against 34.378 last year and 798.071 in 1907.
For the nine weeks of this fiscal year the
corn exports are 453,191 bushels, against
2,630,576 In the same period last year.,
MILLS ARE RESUMING OPERATIONS
Country Merchants Disposed to Replenish
(Stocks.
NEW YORK, Aug. 28. R. O. Dun's Review
of Trade will say tomorrow:
Gradual Improvement continues, especially
In respect to the percentage of manufacturing
plants In operation. Country merchants are
more disposed to replenish stocks.
Retail trade la seasonably ojulet, except
where stimulated by clearance sales, but
wholesale and fobbing houses are doing a good
Fall business, although collections are irregu
lar. With the exception of the cotton mills,
there Is much less Idle machinery In the lead
ing Industries. Several wage agreements have
been signed and there la little strife between
capital and labor.
On the whole, crop prospects are satisfac
tory and producers obtain unusually high
prices.
Packer hides are firm, but other descrip
tions have sold at concessions, while trade ts
less active.
Bank Clearings.
NEW YORK, Aug. 28. Bradstreet's bank
clearing report for the week ending Augu6t
27. shows an aggregate of $2,189,543,000 as

SEATTLE. Aug. 28. (Special.) This waa
a day of declines in thle market. Fruit,

All fruits were weak.
Butter, however, was firm, and dealers
were reluctant to dispose of fancy Washing

BIG SALE OF IDAHO WHEAT.
Product of Dry Land Farming Brings Good
Prices.
LEWISTON, Idaho, Aug. 23. (Special.)
Yesterdav the sale of the largest amount of
wheat ever marketed in this territory was
made when Daniels A Wallace, who are
known as the Wheat Kings of Idaho, sold
100 O00 bushels to the Vollmer-Clearwater
Company of this city. This is the largest
sale so far recorded in the Northwest this
season. The price ranged from 75 to NO
cents per bushel, according to variety,
bluestem bringing the higher price, and
Turkey red the lower.
Mr Eaves, of the Vollmer-Clearwater
Company. In speaking of the deal, said:
"This crop has shown the most remarkable
wheat yield ever grown in the Tammany lo
cality. It is a distinct proof of the success
of what is known as dry-land farming. Mr.
Wallace came here from Colorado and was
familiar with dry farming methods as ap
plied In that state, and he applied these
principles to the valley lands bat'lt of Lewis
ton. Some of the Daniels & Wallace grain
ran 40 and 50 bushels to the acre. Some of
this land has been farmed for 30 years, yet
no such yields have been returned
