E7TGUSH HOP CROP 110,00 CTTT.
Low Estimate Gives ta Cable Becrtved by
McClcllaa.

O. McClellan. a local hop buyer, today re
celved the following cablegram from a prom
Inent London hop concern:
' 'Crop prospect a an f avora hi e. E n c 1 1 sh
crop estimated 210.000 hundred weight."
A woek ago yesterday. McClellan received
a message from the same concern, to the
. effect that the eroo would be 20.000. Last
Friday a cable waa received atatlng pros
pects were worse, but giving no est Ira at ea.
Aa showing how the English grower are
r"lng out of the hop business, the Hop
(Jrowera Defense Association eatimatea the
ai reare of hop land grubbed In the county
of Kent Is the past two year a follows;
In B132 acres; In lf09. 4026 acres.
The association fljrurs thla reduction en
tails a loea of $1,375,000. which would have
l.een spent In tabor, picking and drying.
London hop trade circulars, bearing datea
of Jutv 19 10 23. say In part:
Wild. Neame Co. There Is no Improve
ment In the plantations, frequent fresh at-ia-k
of fly, vermin atlll very troublesome
and at this late period the situation U be-
tominr critical and appearances point to
a shnrt crop. There is no great demand at
present, consumers are fairly well stocked
and re not vet convinced of the probable
ararcity. Continental reporte are no better
and values have risen rapidly. Pacific Coast
estimate about the same as last year.
Manger Henley. The report! from
moat districts continue gloomy, fresh fly
In various quantities appears almost every
ilsv and washing Is continuous. The Con
tinental reports are the same as ours. Mar
ket very firm but not many eager buyers.
Exchange and Hop Warehouse There Is
onstderably more business passing, several
lta having been cleared off the market
during the last few days, at prices slightly
in excess of those realized last month, plan
tation reports are very unfavorable, the
much needed sunshine not having put In an
appearance yet. Unless considerable Im
provement in weather conditions takea place
at once, prospects of even a moderate crop
will be remote. Vermin U causing consid
erable trouble.
W H. and H- L May. There has) been
some business done during the past week
and prices have again hardened. All rousjd
the reports from the plantations speak of
the continuous attack of aphis blight. Mould
is also troblhag In many gardens.
OOLDE.VDALX WHEAT IS MOVING.
Crop m That Sertlon Is Larger Thaa Was
Estimated.
OOLPENTALE. Wash., Aug. 8 (Spe
cial.) Reports coming la from the harvest
fields Indicate that the average yield of
wheat In this section Is going to be above
what had been estimated In the Center
vine and Number Six districts the grain Is
all harvested and as most of the fields were
handled with a combined machine, the
grain Is sacked and btng hauled to the
warehouse. Most of the Pprlng Creek grain
is cut with a header, and threshing will be
be run there at once.
Everyone 1 hoping that the handling of
the crop by the railroad between here and
Ly'.e will not Interfere with the twice-art
ay train service which has pleased the peo
ple ef Goldendale. but It would seem im
possible for the train crew to handle freight
on either run and keep up their schedule.
The new engine with an oil burner has been
a great Improvement in the road's equipment
and the efforts of the trainmen to come up
the canyon on time hare been successful.

Ranch Stock.
There Is a very good demand for fresh
ranch eggs now, but so many Eastern eggs
and poor Oregon egfrs, probably taken from
storage, are being offered that It keeps the
market In a weakened condition. Brokers
and others are trying hard to sell fresh
Eastern eggs on this market, but the trade
d"es not take readily to Eastern Summer
stock.
While poultry Is coming In frely now,
the supply Is not 'excessive and prices hold
to a steady bssis. A good supply of poul

cause of the large receipts of stock that Is
not yet matured. Onions are steady.

Investors Warned of . Danger
of High Stock Prices.
BY COMMISSION HOUSES
In Spite of This the Market Contin
ues to Adrance Financial
Showing by the Harrl
man Lines.
NEW TORK. Aujt. 4. The stock market
has to contend with the growing conserva
tism of stork commission bouses, which Is
voiced In the warnings to customers of the
high level of the market and the danger of
reaction. The professional element acted
on this prospect by putting out short sales
and attempting to force the reaction. The
success of this effort wae moderate and
was counteracted by a rise at various new
points.
The immunity of the loan market from
any Influence of the shifting tide of the
currency movement makes a bulwark for
the speculative position and encourages the
holding of securities, many of which still
pay materially higher Investment return
than can be secured In the money market.
The publication of the net earnings for
June and for the fiscal year of the Harrl
man lines was signalized by an advance in
the price of Union Pacific. Union Pacific's
revenue over expenses and taxes of $38,234,
914 for the year takes no account of the In
come from Investments, which amounted to
$10,019,002 for the preceding fiscal year, an
atrgrecrate implying a safe margin over the
S10.M8.TO0 required to pay last year's 10
per cent dividend.
The Industrial specialties were the favor
ites In today's show of strength. Reports of
Increasing purchases of equipment by the
railroads Imply Increased value for stocks
In that group Their advance is a corollary
also or tne long rise in 1 mtea tstates Bteei,
the market price of which usually bears an
approximate ratio to that of companies
which use stenl In their production. A num
ber of these have now risen to record prices
In emulation of -the rise In United States
Steel.

Decline in Wheat Prices Is

DECEMBER DROPS TO 99 1-8
Selling Is Heavy at Chicago on Pros
pects of a Big Wheat Crop In
the Northwest Buying
for Export.
CHICAGO, Aug. 4. Wheat sold below the
dollar mark today for the first time in sev
eral months, when December dropped to
99e on prospects of a big crop in the
Northwest. Th. selling at first came main
ly from bears who were backing their Judg
ment of a bumper crop. At the decline,
more wheat came out on exhausted margin,
or from disgusted longs. Rosy prospects for
the crou were recorded in messsges. Prob
ably 1.000.000 bushels wer.. sold abroad and
the cash demand from the seaboard was
said tn he hrlsk.
The story of the corn market was that
of wheat over again with, the net losses
greater, western house, were sellers of th.
cash article here. Considerable tecemoer
and May corn went to exporters against
sales for shipment in December and later
the East was said to be in need of corn for
feeding purposes and a disposition to ouy
at the decline was evinced.
What buying in oats there was was chief
ly on orders from snorts, wno nau mur
cated todays level as the proper place to
secure, their profits.
The shortage in the hog run West steadied

FATE PURSUES ONE FAMILY
Third Violent Death Occurs bjr Sui
cide Near Castle Rock.
CASTLE ROCK. Wash., Aug-. 4.
(Special.) Jo Manna, a weli-known
character in this community, com
mitted suicide In a carghed of the Rea
LogsTineT Company, near this city, last
night. W. Warner, who Is running an
engine at the camp, went out early
this morning to fire up and made the
grewaome find.
Manna had taken a piece of small
rope, which he had around his blan
kets, climbed up on the cab of the
engine, tied the rope to a beam over
head and around his neck, and stepped
off. He was hanging so close to the
cab that he could have pulled himself
back had he so desired.
The dead man has a father, brother
and other relatives in this vicinity.
This is said to be the third violent
death in the family within a few
years. One was drowned in the Old
England camp up .the Cowlitz, one
killed in the England camp now Rea)
while logging, and now the third has
died by his own hand In the same vi
cinity. To add to the sorrow of the
aged father, a daughter died a. few
months ago of consumption.
