WEAK FRUIT MARKET
Supply Is Much, in Excess of
the Demand.
BUYERS ARE FILLED UP
Stocks Hard to Move at tow Prices.
Latest Doings In the Hop
Trade Advance in
Cheese Quotations.
The fruit market is again In a bad way.
Retailers and nntontri seem to bs filled
up with everything, pearhes especially, and
In spite of tow prices. It U difficult to mova
stocks.
Peevh receipts were very heavy yesterday.
The atorea and sidewalks were plied high
and In addition there wera four cara on the
tracks. Some sales of extra fancy lota wera
made at Sc. but the treat bulk of the of
ferings were at much lower prices. Oood
B'a wrapped were aold at 27 H 30c and
unwrapped atock could not ba dlapoaed of
at any price.
The demand waa equally light In other
Ilnea. peers, apples, cantaloupes, bananai
and oranges moving very slowly.
Soma concord grapea came In from For
est Grove and Dllley. well ripened and of
fine flavor. They were held at 30c a bas
ket, but buyera did not take to them read
ily. California grapea declined all around
with the arrival of a mixed ear. Tokaya
and Malagas were offered at $1.25 and Rose
of Peru at 80680c.
Tomatoea cleaned up better and the mar
ket waa steadier at 33 9 40c. A car of mixed
California vegetables waa received.
The California Fruit Distributors report
shipments of 188 cars of grapes In the past
week and say of the movement :
"The Malagas will soon clean up. Ship
ment has not been quite aa heavy as earlier
anticipated. Still have plenty of Black
Prince, etc. We had expected Tokaya to go
out heavier before this, but the different
reports coming to hand seem to Indicate
that they are a little backward about ripen
ing. All reports generally agree in declar
ing that there will not be aa large a crop
as earlier anticipated. In other words, we
will not ship quite as many of them aa we
did last aeason. Their quality la fine and
aa there la no mildew they should carry In
fine shape."
NO TROUBLE IX KREB-S' YARDS.
Ever body Satisfied, and Picking; Is Rapid.
Doing's la the Market.
Conrad Krebs emphatically denies the re
port of trouble with pickers at hts Inde
pendence yards. Mr. Krebs said yesterday:
"We have had no trouble with the pick
era at our yard on account of weighing or
for any other reason. The pickers are well
satisfied with our treatment of them and
we are satisfied with the pickers, who are
doing excellent work. There haa been some
trouble In yards In thla section, but none at
our place.
We are getting over 1000 boxes a day
and one day picked 3600 boxes. Our crop
will be 800 bales larger than last year ana
the quality la One. We will finish picking
by the middle of next week."
The sale of a lot of Salem fuggles to the
E. C. Horat Company at Tc was reported
yesterday. No other business waa heard of
In thla state.
A report from Yakima said 1500 bales of
Taklmaa had been aold hi the last week or
two at 70, A Western Washington dealer
gave 8000 bales as the maximum estimate
for the output of that section.
A California dealer wrltea that the crop of
. that state will be 70,000 bales and that the
quality la not aa good aa last year, owing
to drouth, hot weather and poor cultivation
There was a report in the local market
yesterday that Clem Horat will reach Salem
today with hla picking machine.
AITATAL REPORT OF ENGLISH FACTORS
La May Says Hops Are of Mamifleent Qua!
Ur Bmnn Stocks Kxbaosted.
The first of the English hop dealers to
Issue an annual report this season la W. M.
H. Le May, of London, whose circular
avi. In oart:
We have, aa has been our custom for
v.n nanv vpRn. made an exhaustive ex
m.xtrin nf the olantatlona In Kent. Sus
sex. Hurrev. Hampshire. Worcester and
ur-fnrfi. and have areat pleasure in 3
porting that on the whole the hops are of
magnificent quality, being fully developed
both In size and lupulln and of a rich color.
' This Is undoubtedly due to the great amount
or sunshine we have had thla Summer. The
hmnn are fortunate in having the oppor
tunity to buy such a crop, aa there can be
no doubt that the quality of the English
hop this year cannot be surpassed by any
othsr country. With such fine quality the
demand should be good, and we confidently
anticipate a larger sale than has been the
mse the last -two years, as without doubt
' many brewers will avail themselves of this
! most favorable chance of refilling the cold
atorea which have been practically emptied
during the period.
The Kentish Observer, In Its Issue of Sep
tember 3. reduces Ha estimate of the Eng
lish crop from 14 cwt- to IS cwt. per acre.
Commenting on the government acreage
figures, which showed the abandonment of
iim acres alnce last year, the Observer
ears:
We hear that further grubbing will take
place both In Kent and Sussex at the end of
the ore sent aeason. The foreigner will be
pleased to know this; and the Radical gov
- . -H, -tft.tr affection for the dump-
era, will find some plausible explanation of
the lamentable ateady decline or tne in
dustry. BARLEY PRICES ARE ADVANCING.

Wheat Prices Rise Sharply at
Chicago. . '
OREIGN MARKETS FIRM
Duluth Reported to Be Doing the
Heaviest Export Business In Its
History Italy May Reduce
the Import Duty.
CHICAGO, Sept. 16. At the outset the
wheat market was firm, with December H to
o over yesterday's close. Early offerings.
based on heavy Northwest receipts and in
some Instances to a desire to secure profits,
were hx large volume, but December
dropped off only c from Initial prices under
this pressure. A reaction followed gradually
and drew most of the straders to ths hull
side. At its best the market was at 11.01
for September. $1.01 , for December and
$1.03 for May and these prices held at the
close, being for September and December 2
cents over yesterday. Duluth was a heavy
buyer in this market .and one house akld
that the Northern city was doing the biggest
export trade In its history. Local export
brokers stated that all the wheat offered
abroad last night had been accepted, an ad
vance from Id to Sd In spot wheat at Liver
pool and the firm tone In Continental mar
kets giving color to this claim. There were
houses, however, which gave out statements
minimising the extent of the export business.
The talk of a reduction by Italy of the Im
port duty on wheat was also a factor la de
termining the trend of prices. The advance
at New York created more than a full ship
ping difference between that market and this
one.
The com market was under a great deal
of pressure today, leading longs apparently
leaving the market to take care of itself.
September at one time aold at 78c, 24o un
der yesterday's close.
The weakness of corn was shared by the
oats market. Cash oats In the sample mar
ket were off c. The close, while at loss
of pc was comparatively steady.
The range of prices for provisions was
lower. December options at the' close were
from 10 to 20c lower.

HANGS HIMSELF AND DIES
Cellar Worker Commits Suicide in
Order to Escape Worry.
John Weis, 25 years of aire, committed
suicide last niirht by hanging; himself In
the cellar of the Fritz Theater, corner of
Second and Bui-nBide streets. He had
been employed for the past 10 day as
the porter of Fritz's saloon adjoining the
theater. Nothing- is known of hla home,
friends or relations. It Is said that he
was formerly in the army and had served
in the hospital corps. He hanged himself
by tying a handkerchief about his neck
and placing a loop of it over a clothes
hook on the wall. In order to effect
strangulation he had been forced to lift
his feet from the floor. Just a short time
previous to hla death he had been seen
by other saloon employes and appeared In
the best of humor. He went down In
the cellar, where he had a gaa stove,
shortly after 5 o'clock for the purpose of
cooking his supper and was not seen until
tmir. rlnarl a few TYllniltpa After 7 O'clock.
Dr. Ix. Buck, of Third and Burnslde
streets, was hastily summoned but found
life extinct. He notified Captain Moore
at the police station and Detective Price'
took charge of the body until the arrl-.
vai of Deputy Coroner Dunntng. Wels
was a good looking young renow oi re
fined appearance and some education and
the belief exists that he came from a
good family and took his life because of
estrangement from his relatives. Tester
day was his pay day et the saloon and
he had a week's pay due him last night
which the proprietor of the place is hold
ing, waiting lor a claimant..
