HOPS AT 7 CENTS
Active Contract Market in
Oregon and Washington,
DEALERS BUYING FREELY
Crop Estimates of A. J. RT nd
Herman Kiaber Weather Con
ditions In England Steln
er's World Crops.
To P contract market U activ. Deal
r not ylng much, but It l known
that a considerable amount of business haa
been transacted In the lat few day. Th
market i now practically on a I-cnt
bast for future.
Tb heaviest buying haa been dona by
Klaber. Wolf Natter, who have secured
about 600 balea In Oregon alnca Sunday
at 6V4 and cent, and half the advance
and eoma at T centa In TVhlngton thla
firm haa been operating tenalvely. the
latest contracta being with Leech An
derson, of Ortlng. for 70 balea at centa;
with John Garb, of Chehall. for 130 balea
at T centa; Clevenger & Holx, of Lakehead.
for 1TO bales at 8 centa and half the ad
vance, and with Chaaa Henrlot. of Cow
lit, for 3 CO balea at S cents and half the
rise. Seven centa la also the ruling price
for contracta In Yakima. Huntington so
curlnr 100 balea from Beadet and 80 bales
from Slavln at that figure.
Picking la now more or leas general In
Oregon and harvesting conditions could
not ba battler. In a M sections the grow
ers will not begin until Thursday. In
Washington picking began In a small way
Tuesday and will be general by tomor
row. A. J. Kay takea exception to the esti
mates of a New Tork dealer. 530.000 bales
for the American crop, printed In this pa
per yesterday. Mr. Bay aald.
1 do not think the American crop will
exceed 205.000 bales, allowing 85.000 for
Oregon. 70.000 for California. 13.000 for
Washington and 83.000 for New Tork. Hop
In this state are going to coma down light.
The resulta of the first few days' picking
In our yards do not show aa heavy aa we
expected.
I think the market will open at 8 centa
I hear predictions of a decline to very
low prices, but I do not think hops will
go lower than 6 cents, aa It la not likely
the growers will force their crops en the
market this season. If the English crop
proves to be of poor quality wa may ha
an advance."
A London cable received by Klaber. Wolf
A Netter yesterday said: "Weather Is fav
orable for the crop. We do not alter our
estimate of the crop. Market ateady at
unchanged prices."
Another Knglish cable to the same firm
follows: "Crop haa been eomewhat In
jured by unfavorable weather. Damage
only nominal. Estimate crop at 500.000 to
525.0OO cwt. Average English hope sell
ing at 8T shillings (8 eents."
The firm's continental cable aald: "Con
tinental markets firm for choice and weak
for other qualities. Market Is expected to
decline. Crop will be large."
The following estimates of the world's
hop crops In centners are made by Simon

ing a cheap peach market yesterday were
m4t disappointed. . With the carryover stock
and the accumulated receipts sine Satur
day, there were no less than seven cars of
peaches on sale when the market opened.
This big quantity naturally pressed heavily
on the market and prices suffered. A few
fancy lots were teold at "O cents, but the
bulk of the stock was moved at about M
cents, with 30 to 40 rents quoted on the
lass uealrabla lota. Soma small. Inferior stud
was disposed of at 10 cents a box. Ro?"'1'
bought heavily, but there was a good deal
left on hand when business hours war
VOt'her fruits were more or less neglected.
Pears and cantaloupes were In large supply
Potatoes were quiet and onions were
steady.
Eggs and Butter Firm.
Two cars of Eastern eggs have rrived
Inc. Sunday, but local . ranch oek Is
scarce and firm, with sale reported at .1

The butter market Is firm with supplies
light and the demand active

Report Xot Liked.
NEW TORK. Sept. 8. Undisturbed ease In
the money market and aggressive strength
In the Harrimaa stocks were the sustaining
Influences in today's etock market. The In
fluence waa moderate In Its effect, an over
whelming proportion of the day' bisslness
being In the Harrtman themselves or In
stocks In soro way affiliated with that name.
United States Steel was the only addition of
flrst-clsew importance to the list. Dealing
elsewhere were dull and the prlc mpvement
narrow.
The Harrtman stocks failed to exert any
pronounced sympathetic effect, even In th
groupa In which similarity of conditions
would place them. In the transcontinental
group ther wa an early advance In the Hill
stocks, but even thl wa ascribed to the
assurances offered ' by Mr. Harriman. In the
Interviews) reported with him that mutually
helpful Intention now ruled between the two
controlling railroad powers thus represented.
Atchison and St. Paul, usually In close sym
pathy with the group, were comparatively
norlected. In the trunk line group the same
peculiarity was manifested. The rise In
Erie and Baltimore Ohio was frankly at
tributed to the Harriman dominance In those
properties and other stocks In the trunk line
group were stuggtoh and dull. The coalers,
which are affiliated with those two stocks
In another connection, were equally Indiffer
ent, th activity In Reading being at some
expense to Its price. Pennsylvania and New
York. Central scarcely moved.
The Immediate new development affecting
the Harrlmans wa the confident and cheer
ful tone voiced by the head of the system In
public Interview on his way home from hla
vacation. Intimation that Southern Pacific
had soma financing In propped seemed to be
of as good effect on that stock aa wa th
assertion that Union Paciflo needs had been
supplied In it effect on that.
Material development affecting value of
securities were lacking after the lapse of
three day sine th preceding dealings on
tn etock exchange. The decline In the sur
plus reserves of the banks, show by the Sat
urday bank statement, were not considered
Important, In view of the large proportion of
reserve still held. Th hardening of the
foreign money markets, while It pulled np the
rata of foreign exchange In this market, was
without apparent Influence on our money
market. London baying of stocks was said
to play a part In the strength of some of the
low-priced railroad stocks. The strength In
the exchange market, however. Is attributed
by exchange experts to remittances for Ameri
can securities sold by foreigner on account
of the firmer money rate abroad.
The Government report on condition of tlie
grain crop waa not liked. The condition of
corn was not accepted a threatening; any
disastrous ontcome of that crop, but a re
vision of earlier and more heopeful views
wa Impreesed aa a .necessity. Tha Spring;
wheat figures helped to lighten the chilling
effect on speculative confidence.
American Locomotive suffered from fear of
a coming reduction in dividend and -American
Smelting from distrust aroused by a resump
tion of advertised tlpa to buy the stock.
Bonds were Irregular. Total sales, par
value. $4,400,000. United States bond were
unchanged on call.

conelderable strength, owing to a moderate
demand by commission houses. The move
ment In the Northwest was not so heavy as
had been expected. Export business today,
according to all reports, was nil. Cash, wheat
premiums displayed a declining tendency at
all market la this country, the hard Winter
variety showing the greatest weannesa nero,
while Spring wheat In the Northwest was
weakest, owing to the liberal movement. The
market lost nearly alt Its strength late In

chief reason for a strong market for that
cereal. Government figures, which showed

Trade In oats was light and the market

a condition of 68.7. compared with 76.8 last
month, caused considerable covering by short

twepn them the crucial problem con-,
fronting British statesmen In th.

be advisable for Australia to set aside
national Jealousies, which only serve to
check tha stream of Immigration.
