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.

LEPER CURED OF DISEASE
Discharged From New Zealand Hos
pital After Treatment.
WELLINGTON. N. Z.. Oct. 2. 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.

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.
The strengtn 01 casa ob.ib 11 -'-' "
c to c. was one of the bullish Influences.
Provisions held firm all day despite the
weakness manifested In the grain market and
closed at net gains of 2c to 10c A feature
of the trading was the buying of October
pork by local packers.

UIHGESTIN MONTHS
Business in the Past Week
Exceptionally Good.
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

OSTS iO M HME
DEALERS PUT PRICES VP IN
THE SEATTLE MARKET.
Holders Firm on the Seller the Gov
ernment Order Will Be
Filled There.
SEATTLE, Wash., Oct. 2. (Special.) Oats
and hay were higher today. Dealers sho;d
the price of good Eastern Washington oate up
to g;l.".34 and ?."3 was asked for the best
Puget ound oats. The firmness of the oats
market Is due largely to the fact that
growers believe the bulk of the 9000-ton
Government contract will be filled out of
the Washington crop. Eastern Washington
hay has been advanced to 1S19 and some
fancy timothy commands S2u.
Wheat was active but no higher today.
Milling Interests bid 94 cents for bluestem,
91 'for fortjfold, 87 for fife and 87 for
club. For barley, $26.25 was bid.
Potatoes were weak, few selling above
120. Onions were steady and In fair de
mand. -Tomatoes are rapidly disappearing.
Fancy stock commands almost any price
asked.
The arrival of two cars of sweet potatoes
forced the price down to 1 cents, one of
the lowest ever known here.
