OVER HALF TIED UP
Hop Contracting Heavy in Cal
ifornia. CONDITION OF THE CROP
Eitelish Growers Are Still Laboring
Under Difficulties Early Ad
vance Kxpccted In the
Butter Market.
Ai la the
ease In Oregon, a large part of
Cal"la hop crop has been sola. Deal
tnat atate estimate that fully 43.000
bales of the growing crop are under contract.
Estimate. f the total yield in the 8outher
state range from 75.000 to 85.000 bales.
Of the entire crop of the Paclflo Coast,
probably 100,000 bale have been signed up
by dealers. Only a email part of this has
a yet been resold to brewers. It Is this
tor.r" Interest la the market that la Its
chief element of strength.
T7p to the present time crop conditions In
California, nave been Tory favorable. In the
past day or two, however, there have been
rumora of attacks by red spider. In response
to an Inquiry from this city, B. F. Hall, of
Eanta Rem. Cal., yesterday wired:
"Red. spider taking everything. Growers
sulphuring to prevent damage." Other wtrea
from California dealers said the possible dam
age would be small.
The contract market In California Is re
ported strong at 16 cents. The last sale of
1908 Sonomas was at 10 cents. Two hundred
bales of 1007s sold at ft cents and 1906a were
quoted at 3 cents. There were no new de
Telopmenta during the day In the Oregon mar
ket. Reports from the various English hop
growing sections to the Kentish Observer of
June 17, follow:
Ash-Next-Sandwich. There haa been a
very strong night of fly, but thanks to the
cold nights and ungenlal weather the de
posit haa not hatched out very rapidly.
There are a quantity of nigger eggs depos
ited upon the foliage. Some growers are
washing, but the difference between the
waahed and unwashed, la very slight up to
the time of writing. The bine continues to
grow in spite of the low temperature, no
doubt assisted by the more than ordinary
good state of the cultivation, and the train
era are kept busy. A large proportion of
the grubbed hop gardens In this Immediate
neighborhood produced very' few and some
no marketable hops last year.
Bridge. Owing to adverse atmospheric
conditions, the plant has made but little. If
any progress since previous report, and ver
min la decidedly on the Increase.
Canterbury and District. The acreage of
hops left in the Canterbury parishes Is now
a very small one compared with what It waa
a few years ago. The recent cold weather
baa retarded growth, and there Is a rather
severe attack of vermin, whTch necessitates
washing. In the Immediate neighborhood
the conditions are very similar, so that
nothing very favorable can at present be
aald aa to the prospects.
Davlngton (Faversham District). Not
much growth this Inst week, owing to the
cold nights. A plentiful supply of live stock,
and washing Is being carried on generally
Ooudhurst (Weald). The bine made a
very good start, but the recent cold weather
has put a stop to development and now we
have a severe visitation of vermin, which
we shall apparently only get rid of by re
pented washing. Some mold may also be
found.
Hlnxhlll. The hops are seriously affected
by the blight, and the outlook is very bad
Maidstone and District. The low temper
ature and lack of sunshine do not suit
the hops, which are assuming an unhealthy
appearance. Washing has been going on in
many grounds and has cleaned the plants,
but where none has been done the vermin
are very thick.
Sturry. A medium run of bine Is to be
seen In hourly all gardens, but Infected with
lice and fly. Not much washing has been
done yet. although the attack is a serious
one.
Woodnesborough. The bine haa not made
much progress during the past week, owing
to the low temperature and lack of sun
shine. Vermin appears to increase, and
washing operations have commenoed In
some grounds. Cultivation, as a rule, is
very good.
North Hereford. The bine is making good
progress, considering the very severe attack
of aphis. The nights continue very cold
Washing Is In fullwwlng in moat yards. Rain
la wanted very badly.
FIRM rSBERTOXE IX BUTTER MARKET
Loral Price Likely to Be Advanced In the
Near Future.
The butter .market has taken on a firmer
.undertone and an advance in local prices
in the near future would occasion no sur
prise. Portland Is about the cheapest butter mar
ket In the United States now. Eastern or
California butter cannot be laid down here
within one or two cents of the local price
and the fact that the Portland market la'
low haa naturaly directed the shipping de
mand this way. With production on the
decline, the scarcity of local stock Is be
ginning to be felt.
The cheese market holds firm, with a
good local and out-of-town demand and a
moderate supply on hand.
AH kinds of poultry cleaned up yesterday
but at former prices. Not much Interest
was shown In eggs.
POTATO BUGS IN PALOC8B COUNTRY.
Found for the First Time North of Snake
River.
MOSCOW. Idaho.. June 30 (Special)
For the first time In the annala of the Pal
ouse country north of Snake River, it Is
claimed, the old-fashioned striped potato

Aldrlch on the Idaho Agricultural College
farm, near town. K
J. M. Aldrlch. professor of biology at the
University of Idaho, regards his find as
very important and recommends that vigor
ous action be tiken this season against the
spreading of this pest. (The few bug" dis
covered for the first time in this vicinity
Mr. Aldrlch states, have deposited manv
eggs and unless wiped out will spread very
rapidly, as has already been demonstrated
on Camas Prairie. In N Perce County

spray used for the codlln moth on fruit
trees will be effective treatment for the

amine their vines and where any bugs are
discovered, they should be promptly erad
icated before getting a start aa they have
In Nes Perce County.
CAXTALOITES ARE CHEAPER,
Too Many Offered on Front Street Good
Peaches Sell Well.
There were too many cantaloupes on the
market yesterday and prices were weak at
$2 P 2.75 per crate. Large peaches were In
good demand up to $1.13. but small sixes
were slow. Logan berries were more plen
tiful and lower at $1 fill. 60. Raspberries
anl black caps were also a trifle lower
Cherries were steady. Three cars of water
melons are now In transit to Portland, the

Barley Shipped to California Early
in Season Xow 3oming Back
Because of Slump.
SEATTLE, "' Wash., June SO. (Special.)
The first shipment of red Alaska salmon will
be In the city In four or five days on the
Cottage City. George Meyers, of Meyers &
Co.. owners of a. cannery at Chatham, on
Sitwo Bay, received a wire today stating
that 2400 cases have been forwarded to
Juneau from Chatham. The local fresh fish
market Is firmer, owing to lighter receipts.
Poultry receipts this week are llpht nd
stocks are kept well cleaned up. Shippers
look for higher prices and are holding
storks. Anticipation of higher prices on
eggs has also resulted in keeping suiDlles
In the country. r"
Owing to the slump In barley prices in
California, a Seattle firm that shipped barley
to San FranclBco earlier in the season is
now shipping the grain back to Seattle, 500
tons arrived today. Even after paying
freight charges, the owners can sell to bet
ter advantage here than In the South.
Arrangements will probably be made soon
to provide for the Inspection of Puget
Sound hay. This hay, and oats as well,
has been coming In without inspection.
Melons dropped to' 2 cerlts today. Much
of the fruit offering is not ripe.

STOCK TRADING IS DULL
Reactionary Tendency Contested by
Support in Various Parts of the
List Rock Island's Good
Earnings Showing.
NEW YORK, June 80. This, the last day
of the fiscal year, was largely given over to
the annual and semi-annual arrangements, to
the' prejudice of aotlve Interest In the Mock
market.
The United States Steel executive commit
tee, which was In session when the market
closed yesterday, did none of the things pre
dicted of It. The reaction in the stock waa
much less violent than the rise of yesterday
and the general reactionary tendenoy was
contested by support In other points of the
llt. Harriman Pacifies were Influeatlal ex
amples. For the Rock Island and Its principal sub
sidiaries the enhanced operating cost modi
fied but little the enlarged gross returns,
leaving a handsome addition to the net earn
ing power for the period.
Money markets were undisturbed by the
half-yearly settlement preparations. A sen
timental effect merely waa produced by the
publication of a call from the Treasury de
partment for return of $25,000,000 of Govern
ment deposits, since the Installments are not
payable until July 15 and August 15. June's
excess of Government receipts over the ex
penditures la expected to give way to the
effect of the heavy disbursement called for
In July.
Bonds were irregular. Total sales, par value,
$4,326,000. United States 2s, registered, and
