Ths (nt purchases of haled hot of the
lot' crop in Oregon have been made by

The price paid for the first Fuggles
marketed la not always an Index of values
that will rula on the later bops. Uusully
Futsles sell at something of a premium,
though last year thla wu not the case, the
Fule brlntln T and T centa and tao
latter variety opening at 9 cents.. There
fore, it la not safe to baae the opening of
the market this year on the price of the
early crop. The general opinion pre-
valla that the late hops, when in the bale,
will aell at around 8 cants.
Contracts) were made by Julius Blncua Co.,
of Salem, yesterday at 7V4 cents. The sellers
were Mrs. Fred Knapp. of. Chempoeg, 15.000
pounds, and August Relchel. of Woodburn,
1J.000 pounds. This la the best price paid for
contracts recently. In fact since John Car
mlchael paid 10 centa earlier In the season.
On one point the trade Is united, and
that, is that the market at the start will
be a dragging one and may not develop
activity for a considerable period. Brew
ers, for varioua reasons, are not Interested
In the coming crop at this time, many, of
them axe well supplied with ild hops and
some of them have hopa to sell out of their
surplus stocks. There is much uncertainty
as to the future of the beer trade and the
Irewers are not, therefore. Inclined to
commit themselvea beyond their known
requirements. The first seven months of
this year uw a shrinkage uf over 2.000.000
barrels In beer consumption as a result of
the business depression In the Eastern fac
tory centers. There Is no certainty how
long this depression will last In the East or
what effect futura prohibition agitation may
have on the beer demand. Added to this la
the fact that probably 80.000 balea of the
coming crop have already been sold to brew
ers by contract. For all these reasons, tt
Is figured out that the buying In the first
few months of the season is bound ts ba
light and cautious. V
On the other hand, the market Is not
without Its strong points. The reserve
stocks in the breweries cannot last through
out the entire season, and when they are
gone and buying sets In in earnest, there
will not be much of a supply to draw upon.
Crops in the United States are light, prob
ably not over 210,000 or 220,000 bales, and
should there be a general business revival
after the election, the shortage would
quickly become apparent- Furthermore, the
large dealers are more likely to be arrayed
on the long aide than the short aide of the
market thla year and when the proper tlma
cornea, they may show their true colors.
"Cables from London vary In their esti
mates of the English crop from 523.000 to
675.000 est. A cable from Ironmonger, of
London, to Isaac Flncus A Sons, of Tacoma,
yesterday, said:
"Picking is now general. Harvesting Is
progressing unfavorably. A very unfavor
able change of weather has set In;
rain la doing severe damage. Mold
Is Increasing. Crop' prospects are less fav
orable but do not think over 10 per cent
will remain unharrested.
LOCAL BITTER PRICES TOO HIGH.
Pert land Above a Parity With Other Mar
kets and FUUng with Eastern Stock.
There ts an absence of uniformity In local
butter pricea Two of the city creameries
still maintain the top price of 31 Vj centa but
the others ars all down to 30 centa In fact
some of them have never been above it. One
or two outside creameries are offering but
ter under SO centa and probably would not
turn down an offer of 27Vj cent. All this
Indicates a breaking down of the market In
the near future unless something unexpected
happen a
Portland has the distinction now' of being
the highest butter market on the Coast. This
ts a good thing for the owners of dairy herds,
but unfortunately It prevents Portland from
having an outlet for any surplus that may
accumulate. Such a surplus Just now Is evi
dently piling up, for some of the local and
valley creameries that have been shipping
to Seattle and other Sound cities have- had
their orders cancelled and the butter Is being
thrown oa this market.
Another weakening factor Is the Influx of
Eastern butter, which csn be laid down here
from S to I cents under the local creamery
price. Unless thus Eastern movement Is
checked It may not only demoralize the present
market but affect conditions later In the sea
son, ss was the case last rear.
The smaller creameries declare' the two large
city creameries are holding the market up
arbitrarily in the fase of - weak' conditions;
that It la merely a game to squeese the small
manufacturers. They consider It an unsafe
time to try such t msnlpulatlon and predict
much trouble for all In the later market un
less prices here get down. It remains to be
seen what effect today's advance, at Seattle
will have on the local situation.
LOCAL WHEAT MARKET IS STRONG.
Oats Are Quoted Firmer at the Board of
Trade.
Ths wheat market was very firm , yes
terdsy. but exporters generally . quoted the
previous rsnge of pricea Business contin
ued on. a rather small scale.
Oats were firmer st ths Br.srd of Trads
yesterday, with $1.42 offered for December,
an advance of about a cent over the previous
day's figures. September wheat was un
changed and December was H aent lower.
There were no changes In the barley prices

DISCUSS CHARTER SYSTEM
Members of East Side) Clubs Hear
Dr. Chapman's Views..
The advisory committee of the Fed
erated East Side Clubs listened to a full
explanation by Dr. Chapman of the
Des Moines municipal method of gov
ernment last night at a meeting held
in the Sargent Hotel, and while no vote
was taken, those who spoke favored
the general principles of ' the Des
Moines Bystem.
Dr. Chapman . explained that Des
Moines is a considerable city, so that
Its experience Is worth taking- into cort-
slderation. .The main point of his talk
was mat tne cnarter ;oi lies raoines
Axes the responsibility, and authority
Is not diffused and dissipated among;
irresponsible boards and departments.
Folowlng the address there was a dis
cussion, and the speaker was asked and
answered many questions.
Dr. C. H. Raffety declared that under
the present charter it is not possible
to lay water mains economically or do
business promptly because of the want
of power to do things. In the early
history of the water committee when it
had power, business Was expedited, he'
said, and work was done 25 per cent
cheaper than at present. He said he
favored the centralization of power.
The subject - was '.exhaustively dis
cussed by W. I Boise. J. H. Is'olta. Dr.
L. l. Davis. Henry Denllnger, Council
man 'A. N. Wills. Dr. DeVeny and Dr.
H. M. Greene. Dr. DeVeny was the
only one outspoken against the Des
Moines plan. H. H. Newhall. also a
member of the charter revision com
mission, spoke conservatively. He said
he favored concentration of power so
that business could- be done more
promptly than under the present char
ter. The chief objection urged against
the present charter was that it encour
aged delays in every department, and
especially in the Improvement of
streets. It was suggested that Dr.
Chapman prepare an abstract of -the
Des Moines system for circulation.
STEALS MARCH ON MOTHER
Aberdeen Belle .Secretly Marries
Traveling- Man at Midnight.
HOQCIAM. Wash., Sept 1. (Spe
cial.) Because those "wise" were
sworn to secrecy, the facts of a par
ticularly clandestine marriage which
took place last night in this city have
just come to the surface. A loving;
mamma is now studying the contents
of a note mailed her last evening con
taining the news that her daughter.
Miss Bertha Wilson, a prominent so
ciety belle of Aberdeen, is now the
wife of Fred Irwin, a traveling man
visiting Grays Harbor., and that the
young lady is now living with her
husband in Seattle.
It was close to the hour of midnight
when in the rear of Mrs. Weed's mil
linery store the solemn words were
said which united the happy couple.
Because. of parental objection to the
marriage, the greatest secrecy was
maintained. Judge Ogden was notified
to be present at the millinery store
that evening.

MANY RUMORS ARE AFLOAT
Southern Pacific Reaches New Ree
- ord levels Pennsylvania' Un
favorable Report of Earn
ingsBonds in Demand.
NEW YORK, Sept. 1. The firm under
tone of the market again today was un
doubtedly attributable to the sympathetic ef
fect of the strength of the Harrlman stocks.
Southern Pacific was the conspicuous feature
of the day. As on many days past, the move
ment extended to a greater or less extent
to stocks of all properties with which the
Harrlman name Is connected as 'a supposed
dominant or controlling force. This brought
In Illinois Central and Rrle as well ss Unloh
Pacific. Southern Pacific proceeded on its
way to new record levels, crossing 108 dur
ing the day. The moTements elsewhere were
not notable, and the volume of the market.
outside of the Harrlman Issues, was not large.
Rumor continued busy with the supposed
projects for new financing of Southern Pa
cific looking to the retirement of the pre
ferred. These rumors are discountenanced In
official quarters where the persistent rise in
shares of those properties are preferably at
tributed to Improved business conditions and
continuance of the Improvement. uch Im
provement was not strikingly reflected in sny
news of the dny and news items were, re
garded as evidence of the slowness of ths
betterment.
8uch was the atatement of earnings of ths
Pennsylvania system for July 20. The drastlo
cut of $2,500,700 In the operating expenses
effected for that single month fell 1817.800
short of ths amount of the falling off in
gross earnings which thus measured the de
crease In net returns foe the month. The
lines west of Pittsburg snd Erie also showed
a decrease of $311,500 in the net earnings
compared with last year, showing a retrench
ment of $1,402,600 in the operating cost. Such
a showing is not encouraging for the belief
in effective recuperation up to that time in
ths traffic of that extensive system. Ths
effect is offset to some extent by the claim
that the rate of Improvement has become
more rapid since then. Ths Government
report on the condition of cotton showed
wldr decline in the percentage than had
been foreshadowed by any . of the expert
private estimates which preceded It.
The market had a period of decided heavl
ness at the outset, during which selling or
ders were said to "come both from Western
wire houses and from foreign quarters. The
profit-taking sales were resumed -at different
times, so that the sustaining Influence of
the Harrlman stocks was partly neutralized.
The large absorption of bonds is a feature
of ths present situation, which Is not surpris
ing in view of ths redundant state of ths
money market. August sales of bonds at the
stock exchange reached an aggregate par value
of 2.647.30O, which, with the exception of
In 1805, Is the largest August business in
bonds In the record of the stock exchange. In
connection with this active market for mort
gage securities It is regarded as significant
that new Incorporations for $1,000,000 and
Upwards fell to a lower capital for August
than for any other month since the era of
large corporations opened. The day's oppos
ing movements balanced each other so far as
to leave ths net results small.
Bonds were firm. Total sales, par value.

than at any time this season. Scarcity and
high price of locals Is responsible for this
condition. Good Oregons are quoted at 30 to

CHICAGO. Sept. 1. Interest In the wheat
market centered In the dealings In the Sep
tember delivery and the sharp- advance In the
price of that option growing out of Its con
gested condition. The market waa strong all
day and closed at almost the top point. At
the opening prices were a ehade lower to e
higher, first quotations on September being
at 95 to 95o and on December at 95 to
95c. ' An advance "at Liverpool was partly
responsible for the, initial firmness. Shorts
snd cash Interests were active bidders for, the
September delivery early In the morning and
continued to bid freely throughout the entire
Ion. The general news of the day also
helped to strengthen the market. One of
tbe factors of- a bullish nature was aft estl
mate on the world's crop of wheat made by
the Hungarian Minister of Agriculture, which
placed the entire yield this year at 55,000.000
bushels less than last year'e crop. This
estimated falling off In yield, together with
the generally recognized depletion in the
world's reserves, it was claimed, made the
position of shorts a very precarious one. At
the sams time the cash wheat situation in
the Northwest was also bullish, the markets
there ruling strong, desplts the liberal re
ceipts. Red Winter wheat- In the market
here was firm, but the hard Winter varieties.

Inclined to drag. The highest point reached
by the September delivery during the day was

to 96606c. The market closed strong,
with Seotember at 96o and December at
