WILLGONQUEH PEST
Oregon Hop Farmers Are
Spraying Vigorously.
YARDS LOOKING BETTER
Decided Improvement Is Reported In
Many Sections and With Hot
Weather the Pest Will
Disappear.
Th hopgrower of th Willamette Valley,
especially tha owr.in of the larger yard,
hare been waging -a battle roral with the
pesky hop Ioum. and there la reason to
bellev they hara eonquored. Spraying opr
atlona hav been carried on vigorously for
tha paat week or mora, and with tha aid of
tha warm weather. aav materially les
aened tha number and bad effect of tha
Termln. Report showing decided Improv
ment In the eltuatlon were received yes
' terday from Beedrllle. Dairy. Woodbnrn.
Monitor. Needy. Aurora and North Yaktraa.
Ehould the waather rum off hot. aa Is
hoped, the peat will be eradicated and the
care forgotten, aa baa been tha caaa In
former yeara
The Western Washington yards, thank to
early spraying, ara In clean condition, but
rermln ara glvtrg trouble In California,
according- to Sacramento advice, the dam
are done by the red aplder to tha hop crop
throughout tha Sacramento Valley being far
gracter than anticipated by Commissioner
Jeffery. of tha Btata Board of Horticulture.
Hundreds of acres of Tinea that could haTa
been saved during tha Incipient stares of
the attack, ft la aald. now lie a barren waste,
and tha ravage extend over a far greater
area than at first reported.
A London cable, received by a looal
dealer, yesterday, estimated tha English
crop at 2OO.000 ct, and the continental
crop at 430.000 cwt A cable from Oosalln
Oray. of Stamburgea. aald tha weather on
the continent has turned too hot suddenly.
Cattley. Orldley Co.. of London, report
on tha market and crop:
Hop orop prospects In England are not.
en tha whole, materially Improving. Weather
eondltlene have been rather more favorable
to tha growth, but a freeh attack of fly
blight has made washing operations con
tinued and expensive. Where this has been
thoroughly dona there Is still a prospect of
a fair average crop being grown If wo are
favored with rood weather during the next
few weeks. The general opinion amongst
growers and on the market Is that about
240.O0O rwl. Is possible, and. of course, the
question of quality still reroarns uncertain,
s there Is the danger of mould In those
grounds which have not been thoroughly
att-nded to On the continent, where, last
week, we made a personal Inspection, we
found that all districts were still suffering
severely from blight, and In some almost a
total failure Is certain. On tha other hand,
with good weather. It Is still possible to get
hout half a crop, but this will leave only a
small surplus for export to England. From
America cables report that a slight reduc
tion on last year's crop la likely, otherwise
prospects are favorable. Under the above
rlrcumstancea all marketa are gradually
advancing.
The fact that cousumera hold such ample
stocks prevents excitement, though many
growers who still hold their last year's j.ro
duce have taken It off sale for the present
WITEAT MARKET HOUW ITS OWN.
Bnstmees la Ke Heavy, and Price Ara t'a
ehaeurrd. Wbeat prices held almost steady In the
local market yesterday and the volume of
business waa reported as rather light. Car
goes, according to cables, were dull and
depressed and no quotations could be made
on Walla Walla for shipment.
Tha New York Journal of Commerce gays
that Patten la now on the bear side of tha
wheat market. It quotes hint as having
made the following etavement:
"If tha Northwestern Bprtng wheat crop
Is gathered without further barm to It. It
looks to me as If wheat would sell lower.
The cash demand la pretty small and there
Is no evidence of any real export demand.
If the Northwest crop gets through without
accident. It will mean the blgjreat crop ever
raised oat there, as the average la very
Urge la Jvorth Dakota. I would not be
surprised If North Dakota raised 100.000.000
bushels.
The Journal of Commerce oontlnueat
It has been enstoraary for almost a year
to aasoclate Mr. Patten with the bull side
of the market mo that his name baa bo
eome almost a synonym for higher price.
It will be more or less difficult, therefore,
for the speculative publlo to readjust Itself
to the Idea that Mr. Patten Is now a Sear.
As i
and
rule, he has frankly statea nis posmuu
i i . , .ih.n to follow his course.
which

Hay Is reaching the local market in large
quantities. cars having arrived slnca the

demand for good hay. so much Inferior and

served as effective stimulant to the pecu

a few stock la th previous average stands

similar discrepancies. Amalgamated Copper

OREGON PEACHES BEST
ASIIXAXD ORAWFORDS APPEAR
IN SEATTLE MARKET.
And the Trade Calls for More Ef

Egg Prices.
SEATTLE, Wash.. Aug. 12. (Special.)
About th fanciest peaches seen on the mar
ket this year arrived from Oregon today by
expreea Th shipment consisted of less
than BOO boxes, but when the street learned
the high quality of the fruit, efforts were
made at once to secure further shipments.
Th peaches were of the Crawford variety.
The only fault found with them was that
they were too ripe for anything except
fruit-stand trade. They were offered at $1
to $1.25.
There wer practically no watermelona on
Western avenue today. Th few that were
available this morning were held at 19
3 cents. This afternoon the supply was
entirely cleaned up. More melons, however,
reached the lower freight yards this after
noon. , ,
Another big shipment of pineapple la doe
tomorrow morning on th steamer from
San Francisco. Berry receipts were very
limited today. Effort wer made to buy
berries In Oregon, but th supply there ap
pears to be short, at least for shipping
purpose.
Fresh local eggs advanced to 86 cent
this morning on th dairy produc ex
change, although, as a -compromls, the ex
change established a split price of 85 and
36 cents, the latter to apply on extra fancy
stock. Some wanted to raise the price to
87 cents. One firm has secured an order
for 1000 cases of fancy April eggs for ship
ment to Fairbanks on the next boat
packers have secured a large quantity of
heaw range veal and small dealers are hav
ing more trouble In cleaning up. Packers
sell at 8 to 10 cents; dealer try to get 10
to 12 cants. .
Wheat waa unchanged today. Sentiment
of dealer appears to be that the bottom has
been reached and that business can now go
ahead, although they still hesitate to do
much heavy trading.

WITHIN UNITED STATES
Including Canada, the Total Pro

820,000,000 Bushels The
States In Detail.
Logan ft Bryan's" letter to the Overbeck
sV Cooke Co., of this city, yesterday, con
tained th crop report of John Ing-tts, which
follows:
Th Spring wheat crop ha now arrived at
maturity and cutting Is general over the
enure area Some damage, resulting from
excessive heat, has been sustained, but not
serious. Heads are large and well filled.
Heat affected the pits of th heads and
caused a shedding In the top meshes. Grain
In top rows are smaller, but are well formed
and their flouring qualities ar not much Im
paired. A recurrence of th wet aason of
1906 alon can materially Impair ylelda
Minnesota's loss that year was 20,000.000
bushels during August and September.
North Dakota leaps forward this year to
the front place and break all records In
Its total production. In area It also takes
rank over all other statea Pew ar aware
that the wheat acreage In this state Is
nearly 1,000.000 larger than th combined
acreage of the three Northwestern province
of Canada. While the Red River Valley de
creased, western counties and counties west
of the Missouri have Increased enormously
In placing it at 7,000.000 acres, have an Im
pression that these figures are low. In th
three Northwestern statea state and county
officials make no attempt to obtain area
under crop, basing their figures on Govern
ment estimates made In 1000 and followed
afterwards from percentages since that date.
In claiming this acreage, do not want it
understood that Increase" waa made sud
denly; lt haa been a gradual growth, and
this star has bean under-estimated for
years. '
Minnesota ha a good crop, with a high
general average, fully equal to North Da
kota, but with an area which has been
gradually reduced. The claim of S.000,000
acres is too high. Eouthern counties have
almost abandoned wheat. while oentral
counties hav been gradually lowering their
acreage, having made large Increase In oats
and barley, northern counties alone main
taining their former acreage.
South Dakota. Ilk Minnesota, has stead
ily decreased its acreage. Southern and
central counties have gon Into other grains.
The area of corn -is Increasing rapidly
every year. Northern countlea remain sta
tionary, but western counties over the river
have increased materially, but Increases
there have been offset by decrease In other
sections. Heat seriously reduced yields in
central and outhem counties, but north
and northwestern counties hav on of the
largest crops they ever raised.
Wisconsin and Iwa are still carried In
the columns as Spring wheat states, but
their place ought now to be In Winter wheat,
as their area of Sprlnr wheat is very small.

Grand total 818.000.000
In estimating the above states we must
recognize that about 8.000,000 acres are
Durum and velvet chaff. This brings up
the average yield considerably. Total of
the above 1 about 65.000.000. which is In
cluded In other totala Minnesota's area Is
small of Durum, South Dakota's much larger,
while North Dakota's area exceeds that of
the two states combined.
Northwest acreage stands much th ama
as last year, Manitoba showing a decrease,
while Saskatchewan shows an Increase of
only 200,000 acres, which Is disputed In soma
quarters Alberta'a acreage is Insignificant,
100.000 of its acreage was put In Winter
wheat last Fall and mostly plowed up this
Spring and reseeded with Spring vrtieat.
Its total area In wheat 1 about 800,000
acre. Would estimate the crop of th
three Northwestern provinces at 112.000,000.
or 17.000.0o0 larger than last year.
Ontario and other provinces will probably
raise 20.000,000. The" total Canadian crop,
182,000.000.
Winter wheat Did not make my esti
mates from current reports or on the basis
of Government conditions. In my statement
of yields made before threshing, empha
sised the wonderful improvement made dur
ing June. For Nebraska admitted the es
timate at that time was made too early.
There is no doubt but yields exceeded expec
tations, but. my estimates were made on an
acreage of about 1,000,000 and lower than
that given by the Government. Would add
6,000,000 more to Nebraska and give to
Kansae. making my total S70,00,000.

OatB Oats are an uneven crop. Good in
Minnesota and eastern counties of. North
and South Dakots. Western counties. light.
Quality and weight much batter than w
have had for some yeara
Barley In acreage, large In all three
states, yields much better than last year
Even In Western Kansas, where wheat was
blown out, much of it was seeded to barley.
Flax General condition above an average
In all sections, with heavy lncreafie la acre
age west of the Missouri River In both North
and South Dakota.
Hay Unusually good; one of the largest
crops ever raised In th entire country.
The potato crop of th three Northwestern
states Is very large.
The trade can choos between acreage
given by the Government and that upon
which my estimates are based. Mine is made
from personal observationc extending over
a period of 25 years, while the former is
made from data of nine years and followed
from percentages obtained from correspon
dents. Acreages from census report of 1901,
Winter wheat, are 80.230,000; Spring wheat,
19.655.000.
Not only has North Dakota increased her
area, but also Washington and Idaho and
all the mountain states sine 1901, and yet
we have a decrease shown of 700.000 acres
since that data Many Winter states' acre
ages are lower than my figures and there
Is no attempt at uniformity between the
state and Federal authority In their com
pilations. BREAK rx WHEAT AT CHICAGO.

In conjunction with th crop report of this
Government, given out a few days ago, to

North America of 800,000.000 bushels by far
the largest crop ever harvested In the two
