In point of quality, would be picked thle year, cornea the disquieting report that bule mold haa appeared. That It hae attacked three neigh boring yarde on the Dsytonvlll road Is he ft yond queetloa. for they were visited thle forenoon and branches brought away, which plainly ahow the ravages of the mold. Not only are the leavee spotted with bine patches of mold, but It has gotten Into the hops and Is fast spoiling them. Other yards on the same farm are as yet untouched and great anxiety le felt among hopgrowers as to whether the ecourge will spread or not. Much sympathy Is felt for the owners, who see the work of months thus' wasted and the proa exacts for gocd financial returns thus disappointed. The mold appeared within the past few days, and Judging from the yards afflicted. It Is most deadly In Its effect. It la earnestly hoped It will not spread. Several growers and others Inter viewed are confident that tha visitation Is purely local owing to certain conditions and that It will be confined to the fields In which It Is now. They believe that the weather as It Is now would prevent tha spread of any kind of mold. IDAHO WHEAT FARMERS NOT SEXXETO, Determined to Hold Their Grain Far Bertes? Prices. LEWOTOS. Idaho, Sept. 1. (Special.) Declining wheat markets have cauaed farm ers to withhold the new crop from the buy era and with few exceptions tbs farmers expect to hold their ciopo until late In the Winter, unless material advances In prices are made. Reports from the prairies show the harvest will be completed within the next two weeka Approximately one-half of the wheat crop 1s now In the shipping warehouses. The farmers are continuing their harvest with little attention to the market fluctua tions, which they believe are below actual values and do not propose to bother with prices until the quotations again reach what they believe to be fair. Continued seasons of big yields and good prices have provided a large per cent of tha farmers with substantial bonk accounts and there are no pressing obligation thst are now forcing the Central Idaho wheat crop onto tha market. The delivery of wheat In the country tributary to Lewlston la es timated at T.uOO.OOO bushels, and up' to this tishs practically no sales have been made . stnos the July delivery, when dollar prices were secured for choice milling grades.

PRICES NATURALLY DROP Conditions Bearing 'on Values Un dergo Xo Change Time Money Rates Are Harder, but Call Loans Are Unchanged. NEW YORK, Sept. 1. A daollne In prloes Is the natural course In a market so dull as that of today for stocks. Even where thers Is not an urgent press of stocks for sale, the apathy ot the demand afforda no sustaining tores to prices snd they sag of their own weight. The almost stagnant condition of the trading threw mystsry over the turbulent markets of the last two weeks and made It difficult o explain tho sudden withdrawal of the operators whoa con gested dealings In a f ew "locks sponsible stmost entirely for ths rolMon share dally totals which sucoeeded eacn other day after day. -i.r- conditions bearing on values hvuU gone no change to correspond with tne sudden cessation of the speculative activity-. The feverlehness of the Interest manifested In the health of E. H. Harriman has abated and this seems tho only explanation to offer of the change In the complexion of the "Ths"' renewed bnllMlon from Boston through the medium of the advertising col umns and the telegraph had its effect in the latter part of the day and Imparted .cm courage to the bear party, but they re, bought hastily. The less favorable crop aspect was dwelt upon to some extent to warrant the contention for lower prices. Last year's decline In exports of mer chandise and the heavy imports threw ths exchsnge situation out -of normal, in or der to tide over ths situation. American borrowing in Europe have been large, es timated by some as high as $500,000 000 now outstanding as indebtedness against this COLondon sent reports of a weak market for copper. The unchanged dividend on American Smelting seemed to causa some disappointment. ... ., Tims money rates wsnt on hardening and ths banks ars losing cash by withdrawals for the West, but call loans were not af- CBonds were irreg-ular.

CASH DEMAND , IS POOR Snovr Estimates Winter Wheat Crop of United States at 425,000,- 000 Bushels Bulge In Corn. CHICAGO. Sept. 1. After Ignoring a re port of the Hungarian Minister, which esti mated the wheat crop qf the world to b 262,640,000 bushels larger than that of tho previous year, wheat traders today were troused by the report of a local crop . ex pert which placed the Winter crop of wheat of the tnlted States in the neighborhood of 425,000,000 bushels. They sold freely late in the session. As a result of this sell ing, prices broke from lo to lo in th final hour. Tho market was buUlshly af fected during th greater part of the day by a sharp bulge In oorn prices, which prompted liberal covering by shorts. Cash demand here was poor and weather condi tions In the Northwst were favorabl for harvesting. The Oklahoma crop report, given out lata yesterday, which showed a further deterior ation in tho condition of th corn crop, and , a report of a local expert, which claimed a falling off of 233,000,000 bushels In the total yield for the United States, compared with the latest Government statistics, formed the basis of a heavy buying move ment in corn, which caused sharp advances In all deliveries. There was some realis ing at the top and prices closed about o below the best. Oats scored a substantial advancs In con-, sequence of buying Inspired by a report of a local crop expert which estimated the crop of oats In ths United States to bs nearly 1,000,000 bushels less than ths Gov ernment forecast. The market closed with prices up o to 9c. - Provisions were firm. Trading was light, however. Prices closed 67o to 30o higher. The Board of Trade will be closed Mon day, September 6.
