There was nothing doing In the hop market yesterday, so far as could be learned locally. The eicltement of Friday and Saturday has subsided, but while it lasted, a considerable amount of business was done In the way of contracts, and more was attempted. Seven cents is under stood to be the prtce offered. Mr. Klaber says the report that was In circulation last week that be paid 7 VI cents In the Sllverton and Mount Angel sections was not oorrect, as he has not paid that price anywhere. In and out of the market the weather Is now the principal topic of conversation. If conditions are favorable, picking will be general In all pert at the state today, but It Is feared the rain may delay the harvest. Should the storm last any length of time It might seriously hurt - the crop, but a continuous rain Is not erpected at this period and a few days of It will not affect the quality. Hop picking returns In New York Indicate ' a crop a quarter short of last year's. Pome Humphreys have been sold at 14 cents and 1314. cents haa been offered for the late variety. A New Tork dealer ngurra out the visible supply of hops as follows: "At the beginning of the new hop sea son there are remaining In first hands about . 44.000 bales of 190 and 1907 hops. The ' holdings are divided aa follows: lDOT Ore gon. 6500: California. 17.0O0; Washington. 40oo: New York. lno: total. 2S.no . 1906 Oregon. 40on: California. 7000: Washington. g.VX: New Tork. 00; total. 13.000.

The only selling In the fruit line was to fruit stands and hawkers, who confined their buying principally to peaches. There ' wre no established prices on this fruit. m.tA k was well held, but T'.rm nrhes went at almost any price. In some Instancea 30 centa ander Saturday's figures. Receipts wtra very large and a weak market, today la y Among the day's arrival. aa a car of fcasaba and a car of mixed vegetables. I The potato market baa taken on a weaker tone as a result of the cessation of Northern buying. Shippers are practically out of the . market and at the moment prices ara more or leas nominal on shipping stock rw n ,r nrodure markets were neg lected. No receipts of poultry were report ed and there was no demand. There la a in the tit market. Hold- r of good Eastern and storage stock axe asking 26 cents. FTesh Oregon ranch eggs are very scarce. The butter market Is very Arm. The sup ply, especially of the best city creamery stock, is decidedly light and there Is a strong demand for the best established brands of country creamery. AMERICAN HAT CROP IS LARGE. - Yield This Year May Exceed the Bumper Harveec of 1907. The three main classes of American crops which have primary bearing upon business conditions generally are tha fiber crops, the cereal crops and the fodder crops. Under the last-named class hay Is the leading Item. Last year the farm value of the hay crop was 743.507.000. ' This total waa great er than the entire value of wheat- It ex ceeded the full value of the cotton crop and waa mora than half the value of the com yield. From present prospects both the acreage and the yield of the hay crop for the year 1908 will be far In excess of that of 1907. when No. I bale timothy hay In December at Chicago, the time when 'the Government price estimates are usually made, waa Bell ing at from (13 to 117.50 a ton. The pres ent price there ranges from 111 to 112 a tos. Prices are now about 23 per cent leas than last December. Round Advance la Provisions. An advance of 1 cfnt in kettle-rendered lard will be shown in a new provisions price list which will go Into effect today, standard pure lard will be quoted cent higher. Dry salt and smoked ' cleara and backs will be advanced 1 cent and exports I hi cents. Paeon and hams are unchanged except skinned hams, which go up Vi cent. eplerOolngl . . . .M0S cmf w cmf w cmfwy PORTLAND MARKETS. Grain. Floor. Feed. Ete.

Lytle, president of the Pacific Railway & Navigation Com pany, the Harriman line to Tillamook, and G. W. Boschke, chief engineer for the Harriman interests here, returned to Portland yesterday. They say that Mr. Harriman was vex y much pleased with his reception by the people of Portland and other Oregon cities, and left Ore gon In the best of feeling. Mr. O'Brien says that Mr. Harriman is determined to rush the Central Oregon line and the Tillamook road as fast as possible, and all other construction planned in this state as early as may be. A number of surveying parties are already In the Central Oregon territory going over the surveys of the Corvallis & Eastern extension from Detroit into the interior of the state, from Shanlko, the terminus of the Columbia Southern, and up the Deschutes river from its mouth. Much work will be done to de termine which Is the most practical route for a railroad, and which line can be built cheapest. This preliminary work will require a few weeks, it Is expected, but at the end of that time construction materials for the Central Oregon line will be as sembled and work commenced. Within two months, at the outside, believes Mr. O'Brien, dirt will fly on the long awaited railroad into the interior of the state. Alaskans Flay at South Bend. SOUTH BEND. Wash., Sept. 7.

THE WORK OF A SPECIALIST IS THE DOING OP A FEW THINGS BEST There is not a physician living who can claim o be proficient in the treatment of all human ailments and diseases. To attain the highest pos sible degree of science would require half a dozen lifetimes of studv and as many more of "practi cal experience.. The regular practitioner is pro ficient in a large number of the commonest and most easily conquered diseases. The specialist must first become proficient for general practice- and must then go on to proficiency in a few of those conditions and diseases more difficult to understand and more difficult to cure.

"Weakness" is merely a symptom of chronic Inflamma tion in the prostate gland, brought on by the improper treatment of some contracted disease. A complete and radi cal cure is. therefore, a ques tion of restoring the prostate gland to its normal state, and this I accomplish promptly and completely without the use of internal remedies.

YOU PAY WHEN WELL Varicocele A thorough cure without pain or cut ting. Every caR of Varicocele I treat proves the superiority of my mild and harmless method, and the folly of re sorting to surgery. In most instances it is even unnecessary to detain the pa tient a single dav from his business. The treatment I employ is distinctively my own, and can be had at my office orilv. Do not submit to the knife and hospital expenses, when a complete and permanent cure ran be had without the loss of time, and without pain or cut ting. Specific Blood Poison Others dose the system with mineral poisons scarcely ltss dangerous than the diseise itself. The best they hope to do by this treatment is to keep the disease from manifesting its presence upon the surface of the body. Under my, treatment the entire system Is cleansed. The last taint vanishes to appear no more. I employ harmless blood - cleansing remedies. They are remedies heretofore unknown in the treatment of this disease. They cure by neutralizing and absolutely destroying the poison in the system. Such cures cannot be other than complete and permanent. TRAVELERS GUIDE. PORTLAND RY., LIGHT POWLR CO. CARS LEA VK.
