EXcrnrvrENT ix hops pi-bside
tm; body W la ln feeted In the
Weather Conditions.
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

HALF HOLIDAY IX PRODICE DISTRICT
Oeempply of Peachea Point to Low Prices
This Week.
The produce houses closed at noon yester
day. 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

Last season the British four-masted
bark Crown of Germany sailed north
in little better than steamship schedule.
Sail charters have been slow for some
time. The large part of the tonnage
which has been taken for September
loading haa been for steam. A number
of ships were left without charters
after they had delivered coal to the

loading and exporters accepted them.
The prevailing rate for the steamers

from Portland; B. E. Lytle, president of
the Pacific Railway & Navigation Com

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.

mental faculties. No greater mistake can be made than to consider
lightly the first evidence of the Introduction of any disease into your
system or to neglect the first svmptoms of weakened mind and im

I claim to know a great deal
about a few ailments, rather
than a little of human ills."
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.
MY FEE FOR A CURE IS
IN UNCOMPLICATED CASES
WHAT WEAKNESS IS AND
HOW I Cl'RE IT.
"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. My
treatment is a local one en
tirely. It is original and
scientific and has been proven
absolutely effective by thou
sands of tests. I am con
vinced that by no other meth
ods can full and permanent
r e s t o r ation of strength and
vigor be accomplished.

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.
