17 1WUJ5. BUY HOPS STEADILY Largest Operators Are Klaber and Horst. INCREASE .THEIR STOCKS This in the Face or a Lack of De mand From the Eat or Europe. Weaker Tendency in the Oats Market. A cnmUfrahl amount of buslnM III ondr wit 1n tha hop market at prices around 7 trd 7 cents, with a rw deals at 7H renta, but the details of th tran sactions are not betnr; made public The heaviest buyers on the Coast ana understood to be the E. C. Horst Company, and the threw houses with which Herman Klaber Is ronnied. At Salem it was said yesterday that Kola N-els. Catlln A Linn and Charles Uvealey were also In the market. The heavy operations y Klaber, Wolf ft Xetter and the steady buylnr by Horst re vive Interest In the story recently current, to the effect that these firms. If not work ing Jointly, at least have the same object In lew, the securing control of the balk of the Oiiron crop, which It Is now conceded Is by far the best In quality on the Coast, and hort In quantity at that. The Ifshtness of orders fmm the Kuat and the stagnant con dition of the foreign markets ft lies color to a mrm Ine of this kind. It is Interesting to peculate on what would happen If tha ajrents of the bis; London firms were to re ceive orders now to buy several thousand bales of Oregon hops. No cables or wire advices from any of the ontnlde markets came to hand yester day. In their annual circular. Wild, Neame A Co., of London, say: Had It not been for the disastrous gales rrently experienced we KhouM have been sble to conaratulute our friends upon arow tnjr tha finest cmp of hops for many years pant. The quantity has undoubtedly ben ) tmintshed, but there Is every reason to hpe that growers will obtain some com -pnatton In tlw relatively hlpher prices thetr produce Is likely to realize. A great majority of the BHmples will, however, show tne efTt-ct of the wind as regards their color, but t bo brewing quality generally will, we believe, be very superior to the growths of recent years. furtng the past fortnight some consign ments of new hops have reached our mar kt. but we have met with a limited de mand, the brightest samples only being In quired for. 1 lscolored and diseased hops are practically unsalable, and we would most emphatically Im press on all growers the advisability of leaving thesv unpicked, as ttu-y will materially reduce the value of better grades. As to the future of the trade, it Is most difficult to form an opinion, but we trust when our market Is fully supplied to good iUmiinl will ensue and that English brew ers will confine their purchases to Kngltsh hope. Rv mt doing they will materially as sist In checking the elimination of a stilt grvHter a'reafi than has Just been re corded bv the Itoard of Agriculture, namely, so.--j ncres. thus reducing the total hop plantations to 3.S.91i acres, which Is very little more than half that of -3 years ago. ACT1VK DEMAM)FOR FRKSH FRUIT .rapes N! I at Mrm Prlr Tomato-rs lower on BeUer Receims. There was the usual active Friday buying in the fruit market yesterday. Supplies were pot excessive and prices were well main tained. A car of grapes wae received from Fresno, but the car from Lodl that was due will not be In until this) morning. Grapes were very firm. ll.SA being realised for the best Tokays, Local grapes were In good supply and sold from ft) cents up. Peaches have ceased to attract much Interest in the market. Apples are moving fairly welL - That all the tomatoes were not killed by frost Is rhown by the Increased receipts yes terday, which caused prices to drop to 60 6 cents. A car of sweet potatoes arrived and a car of cabbage Is due today. Three cars of bananas are due this morning. WEAKNESS IN OATS MARKET. Trices Decline 21 Cents at Board of Trade. A V heat Steady. Oats bide at the Board of Trade reflected the weakness In the pot market, prices of fered and asked being 2H cent under Thurs day's quotations.

Interest not unmixed with apprehension has been aroused here by the discharge, of a Maori patient from the leper station with a clean bill of health, lie was at the stution tor 11 months only. The chief health officer. Dr. Mason, declares that the patient was cured by injections of cultures of the leprosy baccillus. This treatment is the discovery of Professor Ivyeke Tassa. director of the Imperial M-dicaI School of Constantinople, and Kesched Bey. .senior physician of the same Institution. Dr. Mason says that other patients treated by this system have shown great Improvement. The treatment for leprosy referred to In the Wellington dispatch is known as the Nastin system. A dispatch from Honolulu on September 30 said that Drs. W. P. Brinkerhoft and J. T. Wayson had notified tlie board of health of that city that they believed they had suc ceeded in enrinir a leper patient by means of this treatment. PAYING THEIR WAY Earnings Report of Harriman Pacifies Is Favorable. CUT IN EXPENSES SMALL Statement Has a Beneficial Effect on the Stock Market and Ad vances Are General Throughout the List, NEW TORK, Oct. t. The professional room traders still held the stock market much to themselves today and tor much of the dsy their device for moving prices were as lacking in force and success as on pro ceeding days. The publication of the statement of the August net earning of the Hsrriman Pa cific railroads midway In the session put a different face on the market and proved an effective supplement to the rather futile ef forts of the traders to advance prices. The Union Pacific statement especially was re garded as evidence of a notable turn for the better In the railroad business situation. The special force of the statement lay in the fact that lu reported gain of 68,138 In net earnings compared with August of last year was not secured by so drastic a cut In operat ing costs as those In recent reports of other rallrosd systems in which any Improvement In net earnings have occurred. . Gross earn ings themselves are shown to be only $33,041 less than the preceding August, whllethe S749,S2 eut In operating costs amounts to less than IS per cent. This demonstration of sustained earning power in a stock, the price of which implies a doubt of the maintenance of present dividend rates, proved an incite ment to an active speculative movement. The price mounted bouyantly and carried the rest of the list with It, at first Irregularly and hesitatingly but with gathering mo mentum. Estimates of a loss In cash holdings by the banks of !7,CO0,Cft for the week caused no uneasiness, in view of the ease with which the October settlements have been financed. The same Indifference was shown to a suggestion that another call for return of an Instslltnent on Government deposits was an early probability in view of the declining cash balance In the Government Treasury. Bonds were firm. Total sales, par value, 13.606,000. United States bonds were un changed on call. CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS. Closing SalfW. High. Low. Bid.

WEAK TENDENCY IN WHEAT CHICAGO MARKET BEARISHIST AFEECTED MOST OF DAY. Heavy Export Movement From Ar gentina One of the Depress ing Factors. CHICAGO, Oct. 2. With the exception of one or two mild rallies, the wheat market was weak the entire session and closed at almost the lowest point of the day. At one time a fair rally was 'experienced on reported heavy sales of flour by Minneapolis millers and later prices again made slight gains on a report from New York which claimed that 62 boatloads of wheat had been, sold for ex port. This later was found to be untrue, the shipment being only 16 boattoads. The mar ket was atoo beartshly affected by a liberal export movement from Argentina, and con tinued heavy movement from the Northwest. Clearances of wheat and flour were equal to 828,000 bushels, exports for the week as shown by Brad street were equal to 64,483.000 bushels. Corn was strong early in the day on con tinued excellent demand for cash grain by shippers. Trade was rather quiet late In the day and the market closed at almost the bottom prices down lMc to 1C Oats were firm the greater part of the day. but eased off late In the session owing . . 1. .. u n wh-at nA mm and' closed a shade to c below the previous close.

BUYERS TAKE'.HOLD WELL Satisfied That Future Trade Will Show Lasting ' and Substantial Gains Less Idle Machin ery Is Reported. NEW TORK. Oct. 2. Bradstreet'a to morrow will say: Cooler weather is the mainspring of the moderate Improvement In retail and jobbing trade reported at most cities this week. While thene are reporta of holding crops, notably at the south, where prices are much lower than a year ago, rtie crop move ment Is liberal as a whole. Reports from industries are rather better as a whole, also. Good reports come from the .lumber trade South and West, and a good volume of buy ing la going forward. Election uncertain ties are reported affecting demand for Iron and steel," but cool weather has helped the coal business East and West. The wool trade naports the largest week's sales for over a year past, and from 60 to 60 per cent of the leading Interests, ma chinery is reported in operation. On the whole, this week's distributive trade was probably the best enjoyed for months past and while tne pending elec tion Is a deterrent factor, there eems to be a general tendency in most lines to take hold, on the theory that future trade Is likely to show lasting substantial gains. Business failures in the United States for the week endlnif October 1. number 21'd, against 267 last week, 177 m the same week of 1907; 3S in 1906; 139 in 1905. and 19j in 1904. Canadian failures for the week number 36. which conpSKl with 32 last week and 3! in this week of 1907. Wheat, including flour, exports from the United States and Canada for the week end ing October 1. aggregate 6.473,82 busrwls. against 6.43,52 bushels last week ana 4 731.950 this week last year. For the 14 weeks ending October 1, this year, the ex ports are 62.112.127 bushels, against 48. 460.522 bushels in the corresponding perloa last year. RETAIL TRADE OX LARGER SCALE. This Leads to More Activity In Jobbing and Wholesale Lines. NEW YORK, Oct. 2. R. G. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade tomorrow will say: Seasonable weather stimulated retail trade materially and the better distribution to consumers broug.u a large movement in wholesale and Jobbing departments, but In most leading Industries there is still heslta- tlLow stocks of merchandise necessitate ur gency in replenishment when dealers find retail buying on a normal scale, as Is the case In many sections of the country, but preparations for distant requirements pro ceed cautiously, although expressiona of con fidence are heard on all sides. On the whole, there is Improvement in mercantile collections, yet In many lines, especially in the East, Irregularity Is noted. Many fac tories have further Increased the number of hands at work. Tanners exhibit little Interest, taking only such lots as are needed for Immediate business, and buyers of country hides defer operations in the expectation that Fall re ceipts will be heavy. 0 - Bonk Clecu-lngs.
