HOP CROP CONDITION IX NEW YORK
Picking of Early Hops Sheas Exceptionally
Fine Quality.
New York hop crop conditions are re
ported by tha latest state papers as fol
lows: Soma of tha local growers began tha har
vest of tha lata crop today, but the majority
of them will wait until the end or tha
week and ooma until first week of September
before beginning. Tha Humpnreys are now
practically all picked and are said to . ba
a few boxes short of last year, of very
fine flavor and color and all In all very
satisfactory considering the hot, dry
weather that prevailed throughout most of
tha growing months Watervil'.e Times.
Picking of tha Humphrey seedlings be
gan this week, and the quality la re
ported fine. The reports from thla county
and othera In New York axe of a light
crop as heretofora predicted Schoharie
Republican.
Hopplcking commenced In many of tha
yards In Otsego County on Wednesday and
by tha first of next we ;k wilt be under
way In practically all of tha yards of that
county. Tha present Indications are fav
orable, with good weather, for nice quality
of hop with a yiid below the average. It
is safe to aay the town of Richfield will
not produce one-half as many as last year
aa several growers have plowed up their
yards and are going out of the business.

chickens, were therefore weak.
Egga are firm with a good demand for
extras which are not plentiful, but there
are frea offerings of good Eastern eggs.
General conditions in the butter and

WHEAT BUKLNESS ACTIVE AT GARFIELD
Warehousemen Bui lng Freely for Shipment
to Tidewater.
GARFIELD. Wash.. Aug. 31. (Special.)
There is greater activity In the grain busl

William Bishop of Johnson. Duling A
Bishop, said:
"Wa ara running 12 grain warehouses on
the Inland Electric Railroad. The O. R.
A K. and the Northern Pacific. We are
shipping 10 carloads a day to the coast
and to Portland, and we are receiving each
dy 15.0OO sacks of grain tr approximately

N grain rapidly and wa are paying tor Red
l:ustan 78 crnts. for club 75 cents and
r forty-fold. T7 centa Ths quality of the
craln Is very good. There will be harvested
a two-thirds oat rop. alpo a two-thirds

There la considerable Summer fallow
throughout the Pa1u country thi year
and there will probably t a greater acre

for many yeara
rmatilla Wheat Farmen Holding.
PENDLETON. Or., Aug. 31. When
wheat went to 80 cents In the markets
here a minth ago. trading was sharp and
much of the staple changed hands. Sine
that time, however, with the price ranging
from 75 to SO cents a bushel, there has been
a disposition among the farmers to hold
their crops for a time and watch the mar
ket. There Is a strong belief here that the
price will again reach 80 cents, and many
of those well situated financially are hold
ing for tha higher price.

BULLS Ifi CONTROL
But Use Their Power in Stock
Market Moderately.
DAY'S NET CHANGES SMALL
Strength Shown Mostly In Indus
trials Except Southern Pacific,
Railroad 1. 1st Is Slow.
Bonds Are Strong.
NEW YORK, Aug. 81. Tho bull party
easily demonstrated Its control of the market
again today, but It showed a disposition to
uee It power with moderation. There waa a
fair degree of realising conducted at various
times during the day, especially during the
execution of buying orders at the outaet by
commlsslson houses, representing the accumu
istion of business of the past week. Tha
punishment dealt to the bears last- week and
the Important feature of the stock exchanga
house short of the market was not lost sight
of and served as a continuing Influence of
Intimidation against operations on tha short
side of the market.
The continued redundancy of tho local
money market Is all that prevents our strong
control of International exchange from becom
lng operative. Beetdeo the unusual excess of
merchandise exports from this country, which
is computed as probably $400,000,000 for tha
seven months Including August, tha usual
Summer borrowings of the Xew York market
abroad have been on an unusually light scale,
owing to tha liberal supply of money In the
home market. No doubt la felt that a rise
in Interest rates by reason of Interior with'
drawals either for crop movement or increased
business activity, or Indeed for a speculative
employment of funds would draw gold from
Europe up to the point' where interest rates
would rise to a level attractive enough to turn
the tide of the movement again.
Tha day's strength was shown mostly in
tha industrial specialties, including the cop
per group and the New York publlo utilities.
The railroad list was Inclined to lag In spite
of the leadership of tha Harrlma.l Pacifies.
Southern Pacific raised its high record prlea
again. United States Eteel preferred, at
1124, sold practically at a record price, since
the dividend of 14 por cent was deducted
this morning. This stock sold at 113 in
January of 1&06. The day's net changes
were small.
Bonds wera strong. The special strength of
Japanese bond was due to the adoption of
retrenchment measures by the imperial Japan
ese government. Total sales, par value.
$4,260,000. United States bonds wera un
changed on call.

Heavy Wheat Movement Does
Not Affect Prices.
CHICAGO MARKET STRONG
Cash Premiums Are Steady and Of
ferings From Interior Are
Small Record Price for
December Corn.
CHICAGO, Aug. 81. Ti-.i wheat market
waa strcig all day with ths exception of
a slight decline at the start, due to liberal
receipts In the Northwest and to bearish
weekly statistics. The heavy movement in
the Northwest had little effect, Inasmuch
as lt was claimed that aH the newly ar
rived grain was eagerly taken by mills and
elevators at tha same premiums as prrvlous'
ly. One of the main reasons for the
strength was the purchase of about 1.000.
000 bushels of September wheat by a lead
ing elevator Interest which led many traders
to believe that deliveries on September con
tracts tomorrow were likely to go Into
strong hands. Another factor that was held
to cause the advance was a decrease of
542,000 bushels In the visible supply of
wneat in the cnited states and Canada.
Cash premiums here were steady and offer
ings from the Interior wera very small.
The corn market was weak early in the
aay. tne greatest weakness being man!
fested In the September delivery, which
declined one cent on liberal profit-taking.
The market rallied sharply on an official
prediction of frost tonight In Nebraska and
&oum Dakota. The December option made
a new high record for - the season, selling
at G754c The market closed strong and
near tne top at net gains of 54 c to 154
4C.
Oats wers quiet and easy during the first
part or the day but later trading became
more active. The market closed firm with
gains of MSj54e to 54 fi Sc.
Provisions were firm mainly as the result
of buying by a local packer, which was
nasea cn a lo-cent advance In live hogs.
