MARKET HERE IS QUIET Beerbohm' Report of Foreign Wheat Production and Requirements. Iocal Fruit Market Badly Overloaded ButUr Scarce. A few scattering lots of wheat ara being twvught up by local firm's, but oo the whols the market Is quiet. European buyers are showing but tittle Interest in Pacific Coast wheat now. and It looks as If they had com bined against the American sellers. They will have to come after the wheat event ually, however, and In the meantime the holders In this sectloa maintain a firm atti tude. Things' were quiet at the Board of Trade yesterday. Wheat buyers and sellers were apart le In their views. Less firmness was shown In the oata market. Barley was un changed from Saturday. Receipts for the 43 hours ending at 11 A. M. yesterday were 223 cars wheat, 9 cars oats. 20 cars barley, 2000 sacks flour and 8$ cars hay. The range of futures was as follows (f. o. b. warehouse. Portland): WHEAT. Open. High. Low.

Fept, .... 1 37 127 B Dec 1 29 1 29 B Beerbohm's weekly crop report estimates the total production of the United Kingdom at S.3OO.00O quarters, against T.000.000 quar ters last year and adds: "In such a esse we should expect the Imports of foreign wheat In the coming season to reach a total of about 2U.5O0.000 quarters, aa compared with 24.803.000 quarters In the past season." Of the other European crops, Beerbohm says: In France there is still much diversity of opinion aa to the actual yield, but most authorities are disposed to take a less pessi mistic view of the probabilities than was the case a month ago. although It Is generally arknowlertged that there Js a considerable deficit compared with last year-s obviously abundant crop. Our own estimate, made some weeks ago. was 3. 000.000 quarters, and this fairly well represents present Indica tions Burh a crop would be about 5.000.000 quarters below the normal requirements of France, but wirh very large reserves of old wheat carried foraard. It is not expected that any large quantity of foreign wheat will be needed. In Germany the late harvest has been favored by the weather, and new wheat la now being freely offered all over the coun try. There are some authorities In Oermany who believe that, owing to the exhaustion of old wheat reserves, a record net Importa tion of ll.ooo.04K quarters of foreign wheat will be necessary this season, as compared with 0. 150.000 quarters last season. The previous Isrgest Import was 10.400.000 quar ters In 1905-O. It Is. we believe, a fact, that the consumption of wheat in Oermany Is Increasing at a far greater rate per capita than In iny other country, and it Is quite probable that our estimate In last week's review. In which we placed Germany's re quirements at 9.000.000 quarters, may prove to be below the mark. In Hungary the latest, and practically final estimate of the wheat crop, is 1T.800. ono quarters, against U.O.'iO.OOO quarters last year, and 3.-,.50.fOO quarters In lo. . In Roumanla the weather has favored the finish of the harvest. New wheat haa moved freely to the seaboard, but the quality la not so high aa was expected. 00-pound wheat being said to preponderate. In Denmark heavy ralna have eerlously Interfered with the harvest. In Italy the new crop Is evidently so deficient, and the necessity to Import for eign wheat so great, that there Is an agita tion In favor of reducing the import duty, which Is about 12s ad per quarter. In Spain the wheat crop appears to have turned out very disappointingly In some parts of the country, but there are vio pres ent signs of any serious need of foreign wheat. In Russia the weather has favored the late harvest, and from some districts we have received rather better reports as to the yield of the crops. Very pessimistic reports, however, continue to be received about Russia's capacity to export wheat this season, very few expecting the movement . to equal last year's total "of about 7.500.000 quarters. FRUIT MARKET IN A BAT WAT. Front 8treet Overloaded With Pewches and Prs. for Wblcti There la No Demand. The peach market has never been In worse shape this season than It was yes terday. Receipts were large and there was a big carry-over stock, but It was the poor quality of the fruit that caused the trouble. The bulk of the offerings were Inferior. There waa no difficulty In selling fanCy peaches at one and some large Taktma Rlbertaa brought more, but small, scrubby stock could hardly be moved at 25c to 30c. The situation with regard to pears was Just as bad. The market was full of dead ripe fruit, for which there was absolutely no demand, even the hawkers refusing to touch them at 2c, and, aa a result, a .lot of pears had to be dumped last night. Good green shipping stock was worth 60c, but very little of It waa to be had. In other lines the market was quiet. Grapes sold at last week's prices. A car of grapes Is due from California today. The few cantaloupes that came In were hard to work off. Watermelons do not move at all. HOPS INACTIVE. BCT FIRM. Buyers rnable to Pick C An More Cheap Lots. ' There la a pause In the movement In the local bop market. Dealers- evidently are unable to secure any ' more 7-cent contracts and hesitate to raise their bids. There has been talk of 8-cent offers) and there are probably 8-cent orders on hand, but they have not resulted In any buslneae. so far aa can be learned. Although quiet, the market has a decidedly firm undertone. Trade advices received from New York are to the 'effect that the crop of the state Is larger than anticipated and may equal that of last year. The WatervlHe Times says on this subject: The harvest of hope Is practically over about here. . only two or three of the largest growers being still at 11. It ha been a remarkably short season, and as Teports come in of the yield there seems to be a great di versity in the amount harvested by the dif ferent growers. Some report more than last ear. some about the same, while other lea, down to one-half aa many. It la probable that the yield will be a little less thsn last year. but. as to how much varies according te the different estimates from one-fifth to one-Third. The crop kept well In the great majority of yards, so that a line aampla will be shown to buyers of state hops. We have heard of no traneartior.a In the late hops, a price for them not yet having been established. There are reports, however, that a few were bought before they were picked at 12 to 13 cents. POTATO MARKET ON STEADY BASIS Good California Demand Expected in Com ing winter. The potato market Is slow and steady. For fancy shipping stock buyers are quot ing 0c to $1 to growers, while for ordinary potatoes SOc is offered. This la ideal weather for the crop and the farmer are not In a hurry to dig. The supply coming forward, therefore. Is light. There Is very little shipping at present. The Sound markets are getting their aup ply from Taklma and Ban Francisco Is using Salinas and Rivera It will be a month yet before the shipping movement fully sta;s A good California demand la expected this Winter. Receipts of Produce). Produce receipts aa reported by the Board of trade: 184 boxea butter. 85 coops chickens. 687 cases eggs. 27 veal. 1 coops ducks, 1 sack turtles. 32 boxes apples, 1 car applea. 3 sacka beans. 24 boxes berries. 84 exatee cantaloupes. crates celery. 1 crate cabbage, 6 cases cheese.

Export Demand for Flour. Come improvement ie noted In the. Ori ental flour demand, but the volume of busi ness under way la still light. There Is a steady movement In local patents. The market la quoted firm with no prospect of change In the Immediate future. Mill feed of all descriptions la strongly held with the demand of satisfactory volume and offerings light. City Creamery Butter Scarce. City creamery butter Is a very scarce article and the manufacturers find much difficulty In filling their ordera The market la yery firm, but conditions elsewhere do not Justify any change 1n prices. Eggs continue firm at Saturday's quotations with a good demand fonj fresh ranch. Poultry cleaned up at steady prices. Bank Clearings.

STOCK TRADING LIGHT Cnlon and Southern Pacific and Reading Are Aggressively Ad vancedOutlook for the Money Market Bonds- Irregular. NEW TORK. Sept. 14. While not pre cisely apathetic, today's stock market lost much in animation compared with last week's rats of activity. The dullness of trading through much of the session waa due to a waiting attitude, rather than to Indifference. The waiting was on an expected announcement of financial readjustment of the Harrlman Pacifies primarily. There were definite Inti mations that some such announcement was to come shortly and speculative surmise waa alive as to Its nature with no authentic In formation to guide It. A segregation of Union Pacific treasury aaseta and their distribution in the form of shares In a holding company was a form of the surmise heard much of. News that E. H. HarrinAn had not returned to his office from his country home left the situation In suspense. A large proportion of all the dealings waa in the two Harrlman Pacific stocks and Reading. These three stocks were lifted aggressively at the open ing and at various times thereafter. The open advance triage outside buyers, who had placed orders with commission house over Sunday, pay high prices. The quiter speculation waa due partly, no doubt, to the recognition that conditions have ceased to work towards Increasing supplies In the money market and havs turned In the di rection of depletion. Foreign exchange showed a hardening tendency again and discussion was revived of probable gold exports. The call money rate here hovered around 2 per cent and the prolonged period of 1 per cent call money was regarded as evidently ended. Time money rates were marked higher .V Railroad traffic officials reported some Im provement In the tonnage movement. The August gross earnings reported by the Great Northern, however, showed a decrease of 81. 883.970, or 24 per cent, compared with Au gust of last year, the comparing showing but slight Improvement, over that for July. The special forecast of the weather bureau that the week would see abundant rains in the drought-stricken districts did not preclude an advance In the grain market. Bonds were irregular. Total sales, par value, $2,558,000. United Statea bonds were unchanged on call. CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS. , Closing Sales. High. Low. Bid.
