THE SAME IN CALIFORNIA Big Dealers, for Some Reason, Buy Vp Nearly All of the Paclflo Coast Output Even Before It Is Harvested. Interesting times are promised in the Pa cific Coam hop market this Fall. From the way the hops have been gobbled up by bur era at this early stare of the game. It looks as If It srlll be mora of a dealers' market than anything; else. Growers sales are likely to play but small part In the trans act tons, as when tha crop la all harvested It will very likely be found that but a small part of It remains la the possession of pro ducers. The percentage of the Oregon crop said to be In dealers control now la from 60 to 75 per cent, based on the maximum estimated output of 100.000 bales. If the crop comes down to 80,000 or 90,000 bales, aa la likely. It will be aeen that but m small quantity of Independent hope will be mar keted. The California crop la closely sold up, not to exceed 15.000 balea, It Is said, re 'malnlng In growers' control. The Washing ton crop Is, for all purposes, entirely off tha market already. No one denies that the bulk of the Paclflo Coast growth of 100S Is In dealers' control, but what object the buyers have In view In thus cornering the production cannot, of coarse, be stated. Whether It la the carry ing out of the programme of a combination of Influential merchants or whether It Is the beginning of a battle royal between speculative longa and short aellers remains to bs seen. At any rate, the hops have passed Into strong hands, and this should preclude the possibility of low prices, for a time at "least. There Is abundant proof of the fact that buying operations, before the hops were picked, were on an enormoue acale. Every hop man who haa been In the country In the last few weeks haa found this out. H. C. Wahlberg, who returned yesterday from a trip on both sides of the river, and who estimates the crop at 90.000 bales and no more, says that from 43,000 to 70.000 bales are already out of the banda of growers. The dealers are keeping this quiet," said Mr. tVahtbera. "but It la a fact, neverthe less." Borne reports of contracting are still com ing In, but, aside from Fuggles, there have been no sales yet of hops In the bale. Pick ing is progressing rapidly and by the end of the week nearly all of the crop will be harvested. Many of the small yarda and some of the large ones have finished. Klaber. Wolf ft Netter Teport that hops re coming down very light In Washington. "It is not possible," said Herman Klaber. "that Western Washington can have over 5000 bales. The Taklma crop Is figured there at 4O00 to 5000. but I place It at 000 to TOOO bales. Our California estimate Is 75.000 bales, and for New York 35.000 bales Is now the accepted estimate of Kaetern dealers. We have not changed our Oregon estimate. "This will easily be the best crop In, point of quality Oregon haa ever seen. There are practically no reports at all of dlseasa In the yarda." Klaber. Wolf ft TCetters London cable, re ceived yesterday, said: "There la no change In crop or market. Demand la only for choice." Barth ft Sons, of Nuremberg, cabled that their estimate for the continent remalna at 1,100.000 cwt. Heller, of Prague, cabled: "Crop la coming down over our estimates." Harry B. V. Bolam. of Salem, recently appointed Oregon representative of the Horst Company, of London, which Is headed by Baron Louis von Horst. was In the city yesterday. Mr. Bolam came to Oregon di rect from London. He says Oregon hops are growing In popularity on the other side be cause of their fine quality, but tie doea not expect good prlcea this year, because of the world's overproduction of a quarter of a million hundredweight. He believes the English .growers will grub up a large acre age before next season. CHAIN' MARKETS ARE SLOW. Bone Weak ares shown by Oats Didders at Board of Trade. Tha grain markets at the Board of Trade showed no change yesterday beyond some weaknesa on the part of oata buyers, bids being from H to 1 cent below those of Mon day.

' HARRI MAN GROUP STRONG Effect of Maine Election Returns on Speculative Sentiment Effec tive Support Given Most of the Day. NEW TORK. Sept. 15. Evidences of benevolent control of the prices of stocks by wall-fortified powers was still apparent today. Its exercise did "not save prlcea from a downward drift, but the fall waa regu lated and restrained. That the aupport ac corded the market waa taken advantage of to effect realising sales waa the suspicion of the trading element and confidence in the market was dissipated In consequence: That element waa unlmpresed by the occa sional strength In the Harrlman group and Reading and by ostentatious buying of those stocks by brokers supposed to be often em ployed by members of the Standard Oil party. At momenta of weakness, however. the support of the market waa maae eneci tve and numerous ralliea were the conse quenoe. Such aupport was accorded when prices opened at sharp declines In response to the Interpretation placed on the Maine elec tion by the professional tradera. It devel oped again when the Hill stocks first weak ened and was thus timed In a way to sug gest protection of the market against un favorable Influencea. It waa only In the last hour that aupport lost Its effect. The weak tone of the two Hill stocks, especially Great Northern preferred, waa of alnlater Influence on apeculatlve aentlment and some occult explanation was looked for. The recent return of the head of the system to the financial district caused that event to be associated with the decline In the stock. That gentleman's public expressions of opinion were cited aa refraining from enthusiasm over the business outlook and some discontent with the Western political situation also came from blm. Aa a similar political view was voiced by the newly returned head of the Union Pa cific aystem. there waa a greater disposi tion to take account of present matters In the eatlmate of the market outlook, the Maine election emphasizing the tendency. ' Another cause, of disappointment In the return of Harrlmnn to hia office waa that the much discussed financial readjustment plan was not Immediately forthcoming. Rumor waa busy over this plan during all the time that the head of the ayatem waa In retreat In the Oregon woods. One obvious reason for weakness In Great Northern, which waa not discussed on the stock exchange, was the fact tnat ita $60, 000,000 of new stock cornea Into Its rights to dividends for the coming fiscal year. As the gross earnings of the company for the first two months of the fiscal year have fallen nearly 25 per cent below those for the two similar months last year, the pro portion of dividend requirements to earn ings Is stll fairly distorted. The price of copper waa reduced at the New York metal exchange. Bonda were Irregular. Total Balea, par value. $2,974,000. United States 4a coupona advanced per cent In the prion on call.

Potatoes Decline Under Heavy Re ceipts Better Inquiry for Fruit. Egg Orders From Nome. SEATTLE, Sept. 15. (Special.) Some Idea of how bullish this market is on wheat may be obtained from the fact that 96 cents was asked for bluestem on the Merchants Exchange this morning, and several offers of 94 centa were refused. While two shlpa are loading for export, the millers are still In the market for large quantltlea of wheat and their operations probably more than anything else are responsible tor the strength of the market . Potato recelp'ta are much heavier - tnia week, 20 cars arriving today. Such heavy receipts were unexpected and prices dtoppud 12 per ton to 11810 22. While fruit receipta were heavy, under an active demand stocks were fairly well cleaned up tonight. There was no very marked recovery in prlcea All attempts to advance eggs above 35 cents havo been temporarily dropped. The lata ordera from Nome are coming in. In dications point to heavy shipments on the last boats. QUOTATIONS AT BAN l'KANCISCO. Prices Paid tor Produce In the Bay Cits Markets. BAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 15.

GINGER DP T0DR LIVER You've heard of the Boss of the Bisr Store gingering up his salesmen, the factory foreman putting ginger into his workmen, you have even heard of the Lady of the House gingering the cook. Now, this gingering Is for the purpose of better results. It Is generally ap plied upon the appearance of the first svmptoms of deterioration in service. Gingering the liver is to keep that important part of the human machine from getting clogged and impairing the health. When the liver gets clogged and doesn't work right, the firoprietor of that liver suffers. Bil ousness, sour stomach, indigestion, jaundice, coated tongue, bowel troubles, constipation, sick headache, -are some of the things from which a disordered liver makes its owner suffer. Ginger ing the liver prevents these troubles, removes them when they catcli one un aware. Lane's Plils will ginger up the liver. They never pain, never gripe, never leave any baa effects, are safe for delicate women and children, and one !s a dose. Compounded by Chas. E. Lane & Co., chemists, St. Louis, Mo.
