More Sellers Than Buyers Im provement in Oregon Hop Crop Conditions. Wheat prie took another drop of 1 to 1 cents In the local market yesterday, deal-arm quoting club at to cents and bluestem at 96 oanta. The feelln was very weak. While some Inclined to the belief that prices have struck bottom for the time being-, none of them seemed disposed to buy much, and trad Inf. as a consequence, was very light durina the day. considerable amount of business was transacted Saturday and Monday la the eountry. and advices received yesterday war that farmers were offering- very freely. Oreat quantities of wheat. It was said, ooald be bought now at the price orrent two daya .ago. There has ben some buying of late, by Interior millers, but they are not oparatlnf as aggressively as they usually do at th be inning of the season. All the Eastern and foreign markets vers off yesterday. Chicago prices dropped a oent. while there were sharp declines at XJverpooL The London cable of the Mer chants Exchange reported cargoes depressed with a much lower tendency.

Better Conditions Et per ted When Preeeut HUx-ka Work Off. The oondltlpn of the local egg market Is thus summarised by on of the leading Trent etreet firms: The market is well supplied, and with Eastern aad storage offering freely It la with difficulty that stocks are moved. W are asking IT cents but we find that there are lots of eggs in the city; everyone seems to have them to offer, and stocks do not clean up as promptly as we would wish them to do. We are of the opinion, however, that receipts will decrease from now oa and that conditions as to demand and prices will improve." Poultry receipts were fairly large yester day, but there was a good demand for everything and prices were well maintained. Butter and cheese were active, firm and uncharged. FBl'lT IS IN PLEN-TIFTL 817PPLT. Another Shipment of Oregon Crawford Peaches Keeelred. The supply of fruit on Front street was large again yesterday.

Corn Is more plentiful and brings is tf 10 cents per do sen. Sweet po tatoes are tending lower. GOOD RESULTS KROM SI'RAVINO HOPS Latest Reports From Yards Are That At tack of Vermin la Lee Sever. Eastern trade papers are beginning to no tice private report from this state of the unsatisfactory condition of the Oregon bop crop. These reports, which were sent by Oregon dealers to their Eastern correspond ent!!, were somewhat premature and might work an Injury to the reputation of Ore gon hops. It is true there has been a visitation of lice this Bummer, but It was no worse than in some previous year?, taking the state as a whole. The hot weather of the past few days has materially Improved the situa tion by checking the breeding of the vermin, and. as the life of the hop louse Is known to be short. It Is probable the peat will be entirely eradicated be!ore It can do harm. The best reports, however, come from the yards where spraying has been done. Some growers who have sprayed thoroughly re port that. their yards are now entirely clean, whereas In neighboring yards. lice and honey-daw are to be found. It Is difficult to understand why hp farmers whp have prayera should neglect taking the hest pos etble care of their crops, especially in a year when clean, sound hops are almost sure to command high prices.

LOAN RATES HIGHER Money Is Firmer in the East ern Markets. PAUSE IN STOCK TRADING With the Advance Checked, Specula tion Becomes tireless Crop Re port of No Effect in At tracting New Demand. NEW YORK, Aug. 10. The stock market fell Into a listless mood today, suggestive of the passing of the Influences most relied on to stimulate price movements. The last of these waa the crop report, and its .ef fect In attracting new demand to the stock" market was ' negligible. Judging from the trading. The professionals who attempted to anticipate the expected proflt-taking by shorts yesterday were compelled to cover up their shorts today. It Is not Improbable that the stiffening call loan rate had an Influence on restrain ing the operations for a further advanoe in prices. Call loans were made above the Z per cent rate from the outset and were readily taken by borrowers. From Interior money markets come reports of hardening In the rates. Among the special points of strength In today's stock market. Rock Island was con spicuous. The copper group was strength ened by the July statistics of the Copper Producers' Association.

STRANGE HINDU WORSHIP Weird Religion of Murderer or Sir Wllllnm Curzon Wyllle. London Answers. Tho police are supposed to have discov ered that Dhingra, the murderer of Sir William Curzon Wyllle, was a member of the secret society calling Itself the Sons of Siva. This throws a sinister light on the assassination, for 61va Is the most terrible of the gods of the Hindu Trinity. Among the worshippers he Is called by a thousand and eight names, but of them all he Is beet known aa the Destroyer. The Images of him show him with three eyes, the third being In hla forehead. His wife, so the story goes, came behind him one day and covered his two eyes with her hands. Then the whole world was darkened, until suddenly the third eye burst forth llko a flame. His hair Is clotted together and brought over hts head, eo that It projects like a horn from his forehead. On his head he carries the River Ganges, because, when this river descended from heaven to earth Siva broke Its fall with his horn like hair. His neck Is garlanded with human skulls, and the trident in hie hands Is ornamented with other-human relics. Ha destroys not only inl created things, but even other gods. who. when they offend him, have been burnt up by a flash of fire from his central eye. Their ashes he rubs over hts body, and on this account the use of ashes Is of great Im portance In hla worship. He Is also the lord of demons and dancers, and In this character he haunts cemeteries, attended by a troupe of imps, and dances furiously with his wife. Kali. His wife Is no leas terrible, for she Is the patron of thieves and murderers. It was In her honor that the Thugs car ried on their campaign of murder, know ing neither pity nor remorse.- . Her most devoted worshipers callher the Man-Eater, and repreent her as quaffing huge draughts of blood. The story of how she became the pa troness of the Thugs Is one of the most stranga and terrible In Hindu mythology. Long years ago the world was Infested by a monstrous demon, who devoured mankind as fast as they were created. He was so big that even wljn he stood In the deepest pools of the ocean the water reached only to his watet Kali de stroyed this demon by cutting him In two with her resistless sword, but from every drop of his blood there sprang a smaller demon. Kail slew and slew until s!5e was weary of the massacre, for the same thing hap pened when she spilled the blood of the smaller demons. At last she paused to rest, and from the sweat she brushed oft her arm she created two men. To these she gave a scarf and told them to strangle the demons without shedding their blood. In this way the plague of demons was stayed. wail nfntected them from the conse quences of their misdeeds by causing the blood of the slain to aisappear. Alter tne Thugs had left a dead body they were forbidden to look behind to see what had become of It, so that no one knew what happened until one Thug, curiosity over coming fear, glanced behind. Then the mystery was solved: the goddess was eating the body! Kali was so angry at her follower's dis obedience that she said she would no longer help the Thugs to conceal their crimes. She did not withdraw her favor from them, however, and gave them one of her teeth for a pickax, a rib for a knife, and the hem of her garment to make a noose. "With the noose they strangled their wretched victims; with the knife they made careful cuts in the body to hasten decomposition; and with the plck-ax they dug the grave. Cf recent years Thuggee Is understood to have become extinct; but rumors have been whispered that It Is gradually re gaining lost crcund, and that the assas sins of English officials are regarded by the natives as being under the protec tion of and inspired by the gods.
