THE MORNING OREGONIAN, FRIDAY, JULY 16, 1909.
HUGE BARLEY CROP
Great Yield Reported From
Growing Sections.
NO WHEAT FLURRY HERE
Eastern Activity Xot Reflected in
Jjocal Markets Hay Begins
to Show, but Prices
Stay- Vp.
The barley crop this year Is irnlns to be a
record. Arrord:nK to the leading exporter
of the cereal, around Dayton the yield Is
mo treat that It fs Impossible to harvest H
with a combined narveistcr. Around l0 and
to bushels an acre appears to be a fairly
(ommon return, and the harvest operations,
which are nnv beginning to get in full
swing, show tills return In a number of the
bet sections.
September barley Is quoted about $26 by
reason of the recent arrivals by the river
steamers of the llrst of the new crop, while
the new crop Is quoted at $:9 3 or a
rop of about $2 from existing prices. Three
cars were listed as arriving yesterday.
Na business in wheat Is being reported.
The flurry In New York and Chicago yes
terday may. it is believed, affect Liverpool,
and In that case there will be an Influence
felt In the Northwest. Aa exporter said
yesterday he believed prices would tumble
slightly in the course of a coupJe tit
weeks.
Hay Is still reported short, although there
are signs that outlying sections are now
forwarding small shipments in riKT to
take advantage of the few days during
which hlsh prices will still be maintained.
The following are the Portland cereal and
hay receipts in earn, as reported by tho

FRONT STRtfcT MELON GLUTTED.
Arakeliaa Blamed by Dealers for Present
I. oval Condition.
Sowral of the leading Front-street men
have been loaded up with melons at 14 11
cents per pound by Arakellan, a California
watermelon grower who comes to Portland
to dispose of his fruit personally. Sot hav
ing the contracts by whlca local brokers are
tied, binding trvm only to sell to Portland
trade. Arakeliaa has sold to the country
commission houses, cutting the price he has
quoti-d the local dealers up to 1 cents per
pound.
Now several local bouses find themselves
wftrj several cars of melons on hand, and
are forced to sell below cost. Should they
refuse to handle the Armenian's goods In
the future, he will. It is said, supply the
grocers and hawkers direct, cutting the local
wholesale men out. They are thus com
pelled to swallow the loss and to continue
their dealings. Other dealers who hav only
bought from day to day their absolute re
quirements are congratulating themselves
now the market bas slumped. Melons are
almost a drug, and do cot touch, over 1
cents.
There were practically no changes In
Front-street fruit prices yesterday. Toma
toes still slumped, and were quoted weak at
75 cents. Cants are hip her, and are ex
pected to touch 3. today.
Three cars of bananas are in today, and
other departures from California are one
car Elbert a peaches and one car Crawfords.
Aledford cots are on the market in good
condition, wavering from $1.-5 to $1.60.

y c-i ts for city erea:uery. 4 ctnts aboe the
corr;M onding pries tl.is time last ypar. De
spite the improvement made in the pastures
bv the rain, the market is hrm at thi price
Eggs sre wobbling. Dealers have been en
deavoring to keep the market firm at 2
cents, but the consumption has fallen off
and considerable stocks are held. Yester
day a car of Eastern eggs was in the yards,
snd two more are expected today. While
prices were still quoted at 2S cents, dealers
have learned that they can obtain Eastern
eggs from Seattle at 25 cents, and are
showing signs of displacing; the Oregons by
the imported product.
The egg market has been unreasonably
high. . As an Instance of this, grocers have
been able to obtain Oregons from the coun
try at lower prices than the dealer is will
ing to dispose the stuff and, while the dealer
can obtain Eastern eggs at such a consider
able reduction from existing prices, it ap
pears certain the market will break today.
While 27 cofata is the nominal quotation,
this price Is not the result of actual busi
ness. Poultry and dressed meats are firm. Ducks
are a drug. Hens have dropped half a cent,
but are strong at that price. The cheese
market Is unchanged.
CASCARA BABK SELLS AT 6 CETS.
Big- Shipment Sent East, $ut Market Is
Dull and Stocked.
Herman Metzger is reported selling three
cam of cascara bark at 6 cents per pound,
or rather undur the average cost of the bark.
The purchaser la said to be Parke, Davis &
Co.. of Detroit. Mwn of this cascara has
been stored for three years, and some of it
was bought in by the recent ring around 7
cents.
A leading dealer said yesterday there were
no sales of bark being made at a profit. He
was only buying from teady shippers who
had a market price contract, and was paying
5 cents. He would not buy from an out&lde
shipper at any price, he said, unless there
was some sin the market would change
within a very short time. Most of the dealers
have large stocks and are anxious to con
sider any reasonable price. The quotation
of 6 cent Is f. o. b. Portland.

STEEL IS FEATURE
Under CIever Manipulation
Stock Is Forced to 71. '
MARKET UP IN SYMPATHY
Advance In All Metals Follows
Steel's Eise, and Feeling ot
General Confidence Per
vades Trading.
NEW YORK. July 15. United States Steel
virtually made the stock market today. A
large proportion of the total dealings was In
that one stock, and such activity and
strength as showed in other stocks was al
most wholly In sympathy with the movement
In Steel.
The movement was a triumph of a definite
and resourceful market manipulation. Ac
credited organs of the steel trade spoke
without reserve of the more cheerful ton-a
that pervades the whole trade, and the de
tails of condition were convincing of this
point. Some falling off In the raw of book
ing of new orders was held of no account in
view of the length of time for which orders
on hand will keep the mills busy. Manufac
turers are refraining from accepting orders
far ahead at present prices, and increased
prices for early deliveries on old orders.
The departure of J. P. Morgan from Eng
land yesterday was used with great effect
by the bulls, notwithstanding the protesta,
tlons of Mr. Morgan's associates that his re
turn at this time was In accordance with
previous plans. Admiration was aroused by
the skill with which the stock has been han
dled in the neighborhood of 70, which appar
ently was a critical point In the upward
movement.
Ttw caution with which the price ap
proached that figure, the enormous sales
brought out as soon as It had reached It,
and tho timidity, now believed to have been
feigned, with which the bulls retreated in
face of this flood of selling, made the bears
bold In selling short on a large scale around
70. When the stock forged above that figure
in the nrst fow minutes today and later ex
tended it rise to above 71, the uncovered
short Interests were made to help In the ad
vance by forced purchases.
Tha expiration of the period for exchange
of Southern Pacitic preferred into common
stock revived the rumor of an exchange of
two shares of Union Pacitic preferred for
one of the common stock, and accounted for
the fresh spurt in tho preferred stock. The
metal group was affected in sympathy with
United States Steel. The reaction in the
wheat market and the promise of more fa
vorable weather for the harvest were help
ful to stocks.
Bonds were irregular. Total sales, par
value, ?3,S4,000.
United States bonds were unchanged on

WHEAT FALLS OFF
Chicago Grain Market Is Ex
tremely Acrobatic.
NEW MARK OF $1.29 MADE
Grain Later Drop9 Heavily to
$1.C2 1-4, and Rises but
One Point Towards
Close of Day.
CHICAGO, July 15. Wheat for July de
livery performed a lofty tumbling act on
the Board of Trade today, first advancing 2
cents above the high record market for the
season, established on the preceding session,
and then dropping nearly 7 cents. The best
mark reached today was $1.29.
The setting of the new high mark Tor
July wheat was accomplished on initial
transactions, opening quotations ranging
from $L27 to $1.29. Belated shorts were
anxious bidders at the start, and this caused
the fresh advance. Distant deliveries, how
ever, were not disposed to follow the lead
of July and opened weak.
The heaviness of the later months was
due to more favorable weather condition in
the West and Southwest, the weather map
showing no rain except a few scattering
showers. The forecast was for a continuance
of fair weather. The demand for the July
option was satisfied early in the day, and
when it became evident that some of the
big holders were taking profits there was
considerable realizing by smaller longs. As
trading progressed bearish sentiment was
augmented by a severe slump In the price
of cash wheat In Western sections, par
ticularly at St. Louis, where a break of
7 to S cents was recorded.
The low point for July. $122, was
reached late In the day. and although the
price rallied more than a cent, sentiment
In the pit was decidedly bearish at the
close, with July at $1.23 and September
closing at $1.10. ,
Corn was weak throughout, and c.osea
weak with prices c to lc below the
previous close, with July at 71 c.
Free selling of oats throughout the en
tire session caused considerable weakness
in all deliveries. The market closed weak,
with prices c to c lower.
Provisions closed 10c lower to 15c higher.

VALLEY HARVEST LATE
PECUIJAB WEATHER CONDI
TIONS DELAY GROWTH.
Grain in Good Shape, However, and
Hill Ranches Hare Record-
Breaking Yield.
ALBANY, Or., July 15. (Special.) Harvest
will bo two weeks late in the central part of
tho Willamette Valley. In a few fields bind
ers are already at work, but much cases in
Linn and Benton counties are very rare. Grain
prospects are much better in this part of the
state than they have been In the past few
months, and the Valley grain yield will be
greater than has been expected.
Fall grain will yield an average crop in
the center of the Valley, while on the eastern
side of the Valley and back In the foothills
there will be a very heavy crop. The hill
ranches received more rain early this Spring
than did the center of the Valley and the re
sult is very apparent in the present appear
anc of the crop. On many hill farms in Linn
County there will be a record-breaking yield
of Fall grain.
In spite of the unprecedented lack of rain
In the past three months, Spring grain will
yield an average crop. The late rains are
bringing the Spring-sown crop out nicely and
indications axe for a fair yield. 'Without
the heavy rains about ten days ago, however.
Spring grain in Linn County would be in poor
condition now. The effect of that downpour
was wonderful and the damage It did to hay
and cherries will be far overbalanced by the
good to all growing grains and late vegetables
and fruits.
Due to the ever-growing tendency toward
diversified farming and the utilization of land
for fruit culture, poultry-raising and dairying
in the Willamette Valley, the acreage in grain
is smaller In Linn County this year than in
former years, so the total wheat yield of this
county will be leas than in preceding seasons.

happen to him to witness the final dis
integration of the Shereeflan Empire.
Mulai Hand has never had a chair chance
of carrying out the plans and aims he
cherished when he deposed his brother.
From the moment of his accession he
was faced by the problems of how to con
ciliate the powers without offending his
own people, and how to put Moorish af
fairs in order without money. He has
entirely lost the popularity which his
success won for him last year. The
Moors, accustomed to the laxity of Abdul
Aziz: have resented the methods of the
stronger ruler. Consequently Mulai Hafid
is faced by the greatly swelled forces of
El Roghi in the north, and by a Berber
revolution, under Mulai Kebir, in the
south. His troops, ill-equipped and pre
sumably still unpaid, have been worsted
by both revolutionary parties, . and his
hopes of a united Morocco are, for the
moment at least, in the dust.
While he has lost the support of his own
people, he has failed to make any prog
ress in favor of the powers most con
cerned .with Moorish affairs. The grip of
France is tightening relentlessly upon the
country. He has bitterly offended Spain,
and sees no prospect of any help, other
than fair words, from Germany. As re
gards his present attitude to England, an
amusing illustration is furnished by his
treatment of the Englishmen in his
service.
When Mulal Hafid won his throne he
had hopes of proving that he was not a
rigid anti-foreigner, and at the same time
of softening the indifferent heart of Eng
land by giving posts of honor to one or
two Englishmen. Since he realized, how
ever, that England was not to be thawed
into friendship, his attitude to these men
has changed. It may be that Mulai

Hafid, driven to desperation by the toes
among1 his own people, will, by preserv
ing an unyielding attitude to France and
Spain, deliberately provoke the expedi
tion of combined French and Spanish
forces which has already been talked of.
IMPALED ON OWN LANCE
British Soldier Meets Horrible Dcatli
by Accident.
LONDON, July 15. Special.) Cor
poral Newman, a gunner of the Royal
Field Artillery, met his death in a re.
markable manner on Monday while
practicing tent-pegging.
He missed the peg and was swinging
the lance over his head when it flew
from his grasp. The butt end imbedded
itself in the ground in front of the gal
loping horse and, the point falling
towards the rider, he was Impaled on
his own weapon. Both lungs were
pierced, the lance going completely
through the body.
Newman fell from his horse, pulled
out the weapon and died in a comrade's
arms. At the inquest it was stated that
there was no record of such an accident
having happened before.
Sugar to Relieve Fatigue. 1
Success.
Indeed, the role and importance of
sugar as a rapid reliever of fatigue is
one which we are only just beginning to
appreciate, and which goes surprisingly
far already. It has been incorporated
into the most hard-headed, cold-blooded,
matter-of-fact diet on earth, the German
army rations, especially the "forced -march"
emergency ration. No other food
of its bulk can take its place. It is the
belief of careful observers of men, par
ticularly in the tropics, that the larger
the amount of sugar and sugar-containing
foods they are supplied with, the less
alcohol and other stimulants they will
crave. For instance, the United States
Government now buys the best and pur
est of candy by the ton, and ships it to
the Philippines, to be supplied to the can
teens and messes, finding that its use
diminishes the craving for native brandy;
and it has long been a matter of com
ment from thoughtful observers that the
amount of drunkenness of a. race or class
is in inverse ratio to the amount of sugar
it consumes.
