The exporters reported that while there was no Improvement In the foreign demand, buyers on the other side were now more ready to consider of fers, whereas last week they showed no Interest whatever. The feeling among Euro pean buyers seems to be that bottom has been reached for the time being- The London cable of the Merchants" Kxchango reported a better reeling In the cargo mar Vet, but the demand was qul-f. Walla "Walla cargoes for shipment were nominal In the absence of demand. The steadier tone of the forelcn market was held to be due to the unsettled weather In Eng land, which may have serious consequences so far as the harvest la concerned. At the same time the very heavy shipments from Russia and India tend to leave a bearish Influence. . Advices received from the country Indi cated that ofTerlnFS on Saturday considera bly exceeded purchases. There Is" every likelihood that a large volume of business will be done this week, but as the farmers In the Palnuse are now In the midst of their harvest. It Is probable that the movement In that section next week will be much heavier. Moderate trading was reported In the oafs and barley mark-. The latter cereal was about steady, while oats were quoted weak,- as the big crop Is being taken care of In good shape. Local receipts. In cars, were reported by the Merchants' Exchange as follows: Wheat. Barley. Flour. Oats Hay. Monday 31 2 1 1 ' ,2 Year ago 1"1 37 . . S ??

The California Fruit Distributors report the movement of California deciduous fruits as follows: Plums and j.Tunes, 135 cars Shipment of plums Is dropping off quite rapidly and will continue to decline until the end of the week, when the crop will be nearly all off. Peaches. S42 cars This week will finish the heavy movement of peaches, and after that time there will be a comparatively small number of cars available for Eastern eiitpment until Ealways are ready. The quality of the fruit moving out this last week has been very good and the same will be true of all fruit going this week. Pears. 838 cars The Bartlett pear ship ment la rapidly dropping off and will re practically concluded this week. A few cars will be available for shipment after this time, but not marry. . Grapes. 79 cars Orape shipments are In creasing, but not rapidly. There will be no considerable quantity moving before the lioth of the mcnth. when enj- lots of Tokays are expected to be available for shipment. Thompson Seedless and Malagas constitute the bulk of the present offerings. Black Hose of Peru, or Black Prince, will be available for shipment In straight cars the latter part of the week. NEW WHEAT SELLING AT A LB ANT. Market Is Quoted at US Cents Ne Oats Moving Ye. ALBANY. Or., Aug. 15. Special.) This gear's wheat Is now beginning to come Into Albany rapidly, and from all localities In thia part of the state there Is a report of a fair average yield. The acreage of wheat Is lighter than usual, so Linn County's total yield will be less than in former years; but In proportion to acreage, the crop will be up to standard. As a matter of fact, the wheat acreage In this county is growing leas and less every year because of the Increase In diversified farmlrg. The yield or oata In this county Is un usually heavy this year. Threshing of oats Is Just commencing, so It Is Impossible yet to forecast the average yield accurately, but It will probably exceed the general average of the past few years. New wheat Is now Quoted at 85 cents In the local market, and many sales are being made at that figure. The market opened here at SS cents for 1900 wheat, but has dropped 3 cents. Old wheat is still quoted at $1. but there Is none to sell. Oats have not commenced to come In yet. PRODUCE RECEIPTS ARE HEAVT. Car of Peaches 'Will Be Started From Ash land Tomorrow.

PORTLAND LIVESTOCK MARKET. Prk-ee Quoted Locally on Cattle, Sheep and ' Hogs. Csttle are in very strong demand this week. Buyers are calling for choice stock principally, but as little of that ia to be had, the lower grades are moving off well. Prices on best steers and cows were quoted 15 cents higher yesterday. Hogs also con tinue in strong demand and are scarce, but heavy offerings of large sheep have caused a weaker feeling In that line. What the trade here wants is medium weight sheep.

NEAR END OF SESSION United States Steel Is Also Weak. Closing Is Feverish Money Conditions Without Ma terial Change. NEW YORK. Aug. 16. In all essential re spects, today's stock market did not differ from that of the last fortnight. London prices for our securities were again higher, and there was the same local bullish out burst at the opening, with new high records In Union Pacific common and preferred and Southern Pacific while Reading. New York Central and St. Paul and other Issues of less Importance were conspicuous for their strength. In the afternoon the market be came dull and Irregular. Chicago receipts of grain last week were greater by over 2,000.000 bushels than In the same week last year, with a gain of more than 500,000 bushels In wheat and about 400.000 In corn; Crop news was for the most part highly encouraging, heavy rains having fallen throughout the panhandle district .of Texas and In New Mexico, Oklahoma and the adjacent sections. The report of the Department of Commerce at Washington, In dicating a reduction in the wheat output of Central Europe of not less than 50.000.000 bushels below last year's yield, was accepted as a good augury. The only sensational feature of the day was a quick slump In Union Pacific at the beginning of the last hour. That stock had evinced a reactionary tendency at 2V, points decline, when it suddenly fell to 214. a break of 3 points from its high record price of the morning. The common stock came out In lots of 500. 1000 and 2000 shares, with 2500 shares at 214 14. At 214. how ever, the decline was arrested and some ground was temporarily recovered, but the net result of the day was a loss of of a point. " Further feverishness was shown by. the list in the final trading, and many of the active Issues recorded net declines, one of the weakest features being United States Steel common. ' Local money conditions were without ma terial change. Bonds were irregular, In keeping with the movement In the stock market. Total sales, par value, $4,470,000. Government bonds were unchanged.

CABLES ALSO STRONGER Realizing Sales Later Cause a Loss of AH the Early Gains at Chicago and Closing Is Barely Steady. CHICAGO, Aug. 18. Continued excellent demand for cash grain was responsible for the strength manifested In the wheat mar ket here during the greater part of the ses sion today. Realizing sales, however, caused a loss of all early gains, the mar ket closing barely steady. A sharply higher range of prices was scored In the opening. Initial quotations showing gains of tie to lc, compared with Saturday's final quotations. The opening figures were the best of the session, with the exception of the price on September. Late in the session the market lost its resiliency and closed heavy, with prices a shade lower to c higher, compared with Saturday's close. Strength at Liverpool, where prices were up d to d. a bulge In corn, a compara tively small increase In the visible supply statistics and an urgent demand for cash wheat here and in the Southwest were the most potent influences in the situation. Weather conditions In the Northwest were generally favorable for harvesting and threshing the new crop. Regarding the cash situation here, local cash interests reported that they were bidding 4 cents over the September price for 30-day ship ments to Chicago for No. 2 red on track. At Kansas City and St. Louis also, cash prices made fair advances despite the lib eral arrivals. The drouth in Northern Kansas and Mis souri and Eastern Nebraska was still un broken today and as a result of this shorts in corn were urgent bidders for that ce real. At the high point of the day prices were e to 2c above Saturday's final figures. The close was firm, with prices up &c to 11c. Oats were bullishly affected by the turn In corn. The market closed firm, with prices unchanged to 54c higher. Provisions were active and strong. Prices at the close were 1012c to SOc higher. Tle leading futures ranged as follows: WHEAT. Open. High.
