la TIIE MORXIXG OREGOXIAX, SATURDAY, AUGUST 23, 1909- L ADVANCE IS COMNG London Hop Market Jumps to 100 Shillings. HIGHEST IN FIVE YEARS Oregon flops Sell for More In Eng land Than at Home Readjust ment Is In Progress Weather Conditions Here Are Ideal. An advance U dua In the Pacific Coast hop market. Prices have risen sharply in London, where choice, Oregon of the 1903 crop were quoted yesterday at lOO shillings per cut., the highest . price touched since 19. This Is equivalent to 21.42 cents per pound there, or about 17 H cents In Oregon. The coming crop, on this basis, should be worth at least 22 cents to the (rower. For a time the Coast market was above a parity with London, but this has now been reversed. There is no reason why there should not be an equality . of prices, and there probably will be In a few days. Buy ers are keeping out of Oregon, evidently waiting until the question op quality Is more definitely settled, but In California the tone Is distinctly firmer. Sales of Sonoma." were reported yesterday at 21 cents and 19 and 20 cents was offered for Russian Rivers, on which the best bid early In the week was 18i cents. Yeeterdays cablegram from England re ported the weather cloudy and warm and crop' prospects unchanged. No word came from Germany. The weather In this state could not have been tetter and If It continues throughout the harvesting season, everybody wlU be sat isfied. Several more yards started picking operations yesterday and by Monday morn ing, picking will be almost general in this state. The Krebs special train of hopplckers left for Independence In the morning with seven passenger coaches well filled. Over 200 more pickers will go up this morning and additional shipments will be made Sunday and Monday. BOXES TEM WHEAT OXE CENT HIGHER Xyorad 'Receipts of Grain Are Increasing; Rapidly.

Price la Still Too High to Allow of Free Movement. Receipts of Oregon peaches yesterday were about the largest of any day since the move ment started, and for the first time the street was unable to clean up all of tbe sup ply.

Prime cattle and good hogs move readily at full prices, but other kinds are disposed of with difficulty. The sheep now coming forward show some improvement In grade, and the market holds in a good, steady position. Receipts yesterday were 289 cattle. oOG sheep, 156 hogs and 12 horses.

FALL BUYING IS LARGE Sales at' Some Points Exceed Best Previous Years Favorable Ke ports Continue to Come From Iron and Steel Industries. NEW YORK, Aug. 27. R. O. Trun & Co.'s weekly review of trade tomorrdw will say: From the principal cities come such reports as "large Fall purchases," "active demand. "sales exceeding best previous years." "la'ge numbers of visiting buyers" and "out Iook for very active Fall trade." The Improvement in the Iron and stee. trade is steadily maintained. The only department of this Industry ' having room for new business Is that of steel rails, but It is anticipated that next year's production will be much heavier. The Imminence o the' September report on raw cotton is a factor In holding back future orders, as the price of the raw ma terial Is still above the level of manufac tured merchandise, and mills hesitate to accept orders tendered at values based on cotton under 12 cents. Improvement in the demand for hides continues nnd sales of both domestic and foreign hldea are larger. Prices on packed hides are firmer and some sales have been made at slight advances. Wet salted River Plattes, however, are declining. Prices on leather are easy, as a rule, but some varieties are steady. Trade is spas modic, but an improvement is looked for before long. IX THE LINE OF IMPROVEMENT. Trade and Industrial Conditions Better Each Week; NEW YORK. Aug. 27. Bradstreet's to' morrow will say: Trade and industrial tendencies are still In the direction of Im provement. Impetus is given these move ments by the beginning of the cotton har vest at the South, by the completion of the Spring wheat harvest in the Northwest and on the Pacific Coast, and by the gathering In of other products of the agricultural In terests in various sections of the country. The wool and leather markets are quieter, but strong. The building trades are activo.

STOCKS ARE UNCERTAIN TJXDERTOXE IX AVAIX STREET IS HESITATING. Prices Fluctuate on Rumors of Har- m rlman's Condition Steel Freely Offered at Declines. NEW YORK. Aug. 27. The stock market made some recovery today, but the under tone was hesitating and uncertain. New of E.' H. Harrlman's health was not alto gether encouraging and Wall street Is pri marily interested in the future of the Harrl rr.an properties. One of the features was the persistent pressure brought to bear upon United States SteeL It wae freely offered and before noon went under the previous day's low price. The market opened auspiciously in response to London's lead, where there had been whole sale short coverings of Americans. First prices here were up all the way from 1 in Union Pacific common and preferred to 2 In Southern Pacific, with numerous other issues higher by a point. Just before the close the list sold off abruptly on rumors again associated with Mr. Harriman. The closing was irregular. x There were no marked changes in the gen eral monetary situation. With the Bank of England's large supplies and the Bank of France reporting' the largest gold holdings in Its history, an immediate rise in discounts seems improbable. The bond market was irregular. Total sales, par value, $4,747,000. Government bonds, un changed. CLOSING STOCK. QUOTATIONS. Closing Sales. High. Low. Bid.

Decided strength de veloped in the wheat market, following slight weakness at the start, due' to de clines at the principal European grain cen ters. Congestion in the September delivery and an Incidental bulge of 1 cent In the price of that option was a' feature of the first hour's trading. Sentiment was unde niably bullish nearly all day and prices at the close was almost at the top notch. A leading elevator Interest was agaih an ag gressive bidder for the September option. Crop reports from the Northwest were gen erally of a favorable nature, but the lm . pression that prices had declined farther than was warranted by the present situation seemed to have gained fresh adherents Complaints of serious damage to the corn crop In Nebraska by hot winds brdught out a lively demand for corn by shorts. Prices at the close were 0c to 0c higher. There was considerable strength in oats all day. At the close prices were c to e above yesterday's final prices.
