SALEM. Sept. 22.--Special. The prune
harvest In the Willamette Valley became gen
eral thla week though many grower began
picking and drying their fruit last week.
The opening of the harvest eaaon for prune
la about ten day earlier thla year than usual,
due. it la uppoaed, to the lateness of the
6pring.
Report from . grower who have already
dried aome fruit are that the quality will be
flrat-claas and the alaea large, though the
quantity, aa expected, will be mall, owing to
the fact that the fruit did- not "eef well. In
the Spring. The preeent fair weather la Tery
favorable for prune drying and It seems prob
able that the entire crop will be saved with
out Injury. In this section of the etate the
prune market la inactive at present, neither
growers nor packers showing any desire to do
business. .-

The strong tone In prunes, large sixes, con

BOP BUYING ON THE WEST SIDE.
Weadner Gets 455 Bale at H and 7 Cents.
KJaber's London Cable,
Hop dealers ascribe the Inactivity of the
market to the desire of the Eastern trade
to ee new-crop Oregon samples before they
place their orders. Samples are going for
ward freely and their fine quality should
soon produce definite results. Another thing
that may be tending to hold back Eastern
orders at this time 1 the low offers that
certain Coast dealers are making to the
Eastern trade, some of them at V ceats
delivered.
The purchase of 455 bales by O. Weldner
A Co., on the West 8 ids at 64 and 7 cents
la reported. The hops were bought In the

GAME OF WALL STREET
Shorts Take Advantage of Situation
to Cover and Result Is Sharp
Rally That Wipes Out
the Losses.
NEW YORK, Sept. 22. The disorder of the
transactions at the Stock Exchange today
during- the demoralized break In prices was
not gieater than ths excessive confusion and
contradiction of the opinions held as to the
causes of the collapse. That it was proof
amounting to a demonstration of the fictitious
and excessive nature of the previous advance
was agreed to without dispute.
There has been a general admission of
this fact, however, for weeks past and also
general agreements as to the responsibility of
group of powerful capitalists for the ad
vance. The sensational collapse which price
have undergone has not altered the convic
tion aa to the source of the operations which
advanced them previously, but the motives
which prompt the abandonment of the previous
position offer a subject for the most divergent
opinions.
The rise In, prices had the effect of bring
ing to market holdings of an investment char
acter, both from home and foreign source.
The necessity of accepting these offerings, in
order to maintain prices, proved a growing
burden to the efforts of the supporters of
the market. It Is not believed, however, that
it bad become impracticable with the re
sources credited to those supporters.
That the bitterness of the revived agita
tion against corporations- and the public re
sentment agalnet the supposition of corporation
Influence in politics has proved a shock to a
feeling of security which had grown up among
groups of very wealthy capitalists, is an in
terpretation of ths present market decline
much heard. The recent tone of the polit
ical campaign and the sensation created by
the Archbold-Foraker correspondence has
shaken confidence among capitalists.
In connection with this element of the situ
ation, there was the openly expressed sus
picion on the stock exchange floor that dis
order in the market was a deliberate purpose
of forces which had fostered the previous
advance with the object of pointing a warn
ing of the dangers to be apprehended from a
revival of political activity against corpora
tions and wealth. Sales of more than 1H),C00
shares in today's market were ascribed to
brokers who have had tha largest share In
exeooting order which carried forward the
long advance in price. Blocks of stocks were
hurlejl upon the market today from such
sources time after time when prices showed
any disposition to rally.
With the market seemingly lacking all sup
port, the bears operated very recklessly, and
their buying to cover shorts toward the end
of the day was on an enormous scale. The
violent recovery thus caused- left gains for
the day in not a few instances and materially
Altered the whole appearance of earlier losses.
The closing tone was feverish and excited,
with the shorts still covering heavily.
Bonds were weak. TotaL sales, par value,
$4.142,t'00. United States bond were un
changed on call.

EASTERN WASHINGTON FRVIT
SEIZED IN SEATTLE MARKET.
Easier Tendency, in Wheat Due to
Lighter Buying by Millers.
Produce Is Firm.
SEATTLE. Wash., Sept. 22. (Special.)
"Wheat was not a strong on the Merchants
Exchange today. The highest offer made on
blueetem wtts 94 'cents with 04 cents asked.
The dullness of the spot market here is due
largely to the fact that yard stocks are heavy
and millers who have been bidding the grain
up are unable to take on much more grain
at present.
In fruit there was a decided hardening ten
dency all around. The best Tokay grapes
moved up to fl.2Z. The best Bartlett pear
moved up 10 cents to 1.35. Peaches were
not very plentiful and sold readily at yes
terday's prices.
The fruit inspectors today condemned 300
boxfs of Eastern Washington apples. The
fruit was heavy. Heavy receipts of mixed
fruits, grapes and onions from California had
no effect on values today.
Butter, egg and poultry are all firm.

Chicago Market Breaks on
Statistical Reports.
OFFERINGS ARE LARGE
Big Increase In the World's Visible
Supply Rain In Illinois and
Heavy Northwestern Receipts
Add . to Weakness.
CHICAGO. Sept. 22. Wheat at the open
ing and In the absence of marked pressure
succeeded in advancing to $1.01 for De
cember on the fact that Liverpool did not
follow the decline on this side yesterday
and because of the dry weather in the Win
ter wheat country. Then came Bradstreet's
report of a tremendous Increase In the
world's visible, 'which included an Increase
at Minneapolla of 972,000 bushels in the last
three days and news of rain 4n Southern
and Central Illinois. On top of the heavy
Northwest receipts, these items brought
out a lot of wheat and December declined
steadily to 9999c, and clcsed only a
over that mark and e under yesterday.
The market for corn started easier, but a
good demand developed and selling pressure
fell off. The Illinois Grain Dealers' Asso
ciation made public a report claiming that
this year's crop of corn in Ilfclnois would
be only 221.500,000 bushels, as against 342.
756.000 bushels a year ago. This factor
sent prices upward, December reaching
65c, or c over yesterday's close. The
wheat weakness- however, was not to be
Ignored, and the close was at last night's
level.
Trade in oats was limited and the tone
comparatively steady. December ranged
within c all day and closed only a shade
down.
The provisions market received some sup
port from packers, but the wheat weakness,
coupled with commission . house liquida
tion, was against the price and closing iLg
ures were 710c lower.

Will Get Short Measure
This Season.
M'MIXN-VIt-I-E, Or.. Sept. 22. (Special.)
Yamhill County hopgrowers are experienc
ing a shortage of 40 to 50 per cent In the
crop this year as compared with last year
on the same acreage cultivated on the old
yarde. while the yards that were set three
to five years ago have yielded about 75 per
cent of the 1907 crop.
Only a little more than half of this year s
crop has been' picked and weighed at this
date, but this has shown a great falling oft.
A number of growers who contracted to de
liver their crops estimated at the 1007 yield
have fallen short and when account Is
taken of the acreage not cultivated this
year and the yards plowed out the buyers
re likely to be disappointed.
Following are the yields In pounds ot a
few growers compared with last year, on
Identically the same acreage:
