THE 3IOKXIXG QREGOXIAy. SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 4, 1909. 15 . 1 . I - QUALITY IS GOOD Oregon Hops Are Turning Out in F(ne Condition. DUE TO PERFECT WEATHER Six of the Yield a Subject for Dis puteCalifornia Market Opens a at 20 Cents for Russian . Rivers OupuU Reports were received yesterday from a laraje number of hopvards In Oregon whrs picking la In progress and almost without exception they told of unexpectedly good tjnallty being shown. Tarda that were and till art more or leas infested with Ilea are turning out hop that have not been damaged by utrmtn. If the weather con tinue favorable to the end of the season there la every reason to believe that a crop of fine grade will ba put on the market. SThe first pickings were green but there are aome green hopa every year and probably no mora thla season than usual. Aa for the size of the Oregon crop thla la a aubject of dispute among the hop men. Some of the dealers are Inclined to place It very low, but allowance must be made for their position In the market. Xo one can deny that every hop that la at all marketable will be picked thla year and the total yield, rosy come down heavier than the speculators would like to ao knowledge. Dealers In Washington have reduced their estimate of the crop of that atate to 20, 000 balea. The California estimate stands unchanged The quality In the Southern atata la pronounced fine. The 110 market for baled hops haa opened In California, according to wlrea re cetved yesterday. Seven hundred balea of Russian 'Rivera hare been sold at 20 centa. tOO balea to C. C. Donovan and 500 bales to Philip Wolf aV Co. Kusslan Rivera at 30 centa abould mean Sonoma at 22 H or II centa. and good Oregons are worth aa much aa Sonomu Buaineas in the new Oregon crop la looked for shortly. The roost Important cable received yes terday waa from Barth. of Nuremberg, who reduces his estimate of the crop of Con tinental Europe from 500.000 to 450.000 cwt. cable from London confirmed the prevloua bad reports of condition In Germany.

Jewell, of Melbourne, has prepared a report of the wheat and flour trade of Australia In response to Inquiries from the Pacific Coast of the United States. In which he saya: Wheat growing in Australia waa begun about a century ago, and In lfcrw) had ex tended to 491. acrea In the 1001-2 sea son the screage was 5.11.1.965, with a yield . of SS.561.119 bushels, or T 54 bushels to the acre. 8Ince then the acreage haa not great ly varied, though the yild per acre has fluotuated heavily, having hern, in bushels, 14 In 1901-3; 13 32 In 10O3-4; S 7 In 10O5-6: 11 0 la llWli; and 8 29 In 1907-8. For the 1909-9 season the acres sown to wheat numbered 5.317.146. and the production was estimated by the government atattstlclan at 03.074.829 bushel. . or 11.94 per acre. A later report from Consul-General Bray placed the yield at 62.000.000 bushels, with a surplus available for export of about 000.000 tons. The wheat plantings In 1904-5 and 1903-4 exceeded 6.000.000 acres, while that acre age waa nearly reached In 1D06-7. The re duced area under wheat in the lHst two seasons waa due to drouth con ditions prevailing In the EaM-rn States, which diminished the acreage and Increased the proportion cut for bay to meet the de mand for food for livestock In the worst affected districts Very favorable weather conditions, however. Set tn after the 100S-9 crops had been sown, so that the produc tion has been one of the most sbundant In the history of Australia. In consequence of ' the 4 failure of the 3902-3 harvest, which waa the smallest since 1S70-71. Imports had to be made In 1903 of S.OOO.000 bushels of wheat and 68, 000 tons of flour from the Vnlted States, 8.000,000 bushels of wheat and 2000 tons of flour from Argentlns. M7.0O0 bushels of wheat and 11.000 tons of flour from Cana da, and a small quantity of wheat from other sources. ' Practically all the wheat produced In Australia, after local requirements have been met. ts shipped to the United King dom, where It Is In considerable demand -with British millers for mixing purposes, owing to Its bright, clear texture, richness tn gluten, and fine milling qualities.

STEEL IS THE FEATURE BULK OF THE DEALINGS ARE IX THAT STOCK. Manipulation Puts the Price on a New Record BasisRock Island Rumors. NEW YORK. Sept. 3. Prices continued to advance today In the stock market, with a rather desultory demand. The transac tions In United States Steel dominated the whole market, enormous blocks of that se curity chasglng hands. Opening sales were of 13,500 shares, .orders being executed at 783s and 79. establishing the stock on a new record basis. Comparison of the sales of United States Steel with the aggregate of all stocks shows how largely that stock overshadowed every thing else. The movement had signs of a highly speculative origin. Pains were taken to cable predictions from London that the stock waa to go to 90. That next year's business would aggregate a round billion of dollars was predicted. Special strength In the Rock Island stocks was accompanied by rumors of an early resumption of dividends on Rock Island preferred and on St. Louis and San Francisco second preferred. At tha Subtreasury today a deposit of $1,500,000 -was made for telegraphic trans fer to the Paclflo Coast, designed for ship ment to Japan. A decline in cash holdings of $8,000,000 seems likely to be shown by the bank statement. The quiet tone of the money market seemed to have no room for uneasi ness on the part of the' speculative bor rowers. . Bonds were steady. Total sales, par value,' $3,200,000. United States bonds were un changed on call. CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS. Closing High. Low.

MARKET WEATHER AFFAIR Good Demand for Cash Grain In the Xorthwest to Keep the Price of Options Firm. CHICAGO. Sept. 8. Interest of traders In wheat today centered In weather conditions hi the Spring wheat country, and as scattered rains 'had been reported In various sections, sentiment, when trading began, was bullish. Early in the day the market manifested a fair degree of strength, but thene was no leader ship, the demand coming chiefly from small brokers. Continued free movement of wheat at Minneapolis and Duluth caused trade to hesitate and the demand dropped off, result ing in recessions. . Prices fluctuated over a comparatively narrow range. Cash grain In the Northwest was In brisk demand and helped to hold firm the price of options here. The range on December was between 9454c and 944c and the close at 94494c. Uncertainty concerning the extent of Injury Inflicted on growing corn by drouth led to renewed buying by shorts, which caused a firm market. At the close prices were up 4c. Oats were firm .and closed a shade to 4c above yesterday. With a firm market for provisions, prices at the close were 2c to 124c higher. The leading futune ranged as follows: WHEAT. Open. "High. Low.

Reading lately an editorial In ins Oregonian on the "Woes of Tom Watson, ' I was quite Interested as to the speculations of the party mentioned, having lived for a while in the Sunny Southland where Tom Watson hails from. The Oregonian's views on the matter dis cussed the question as to whether there will ever be any more secessions or of breakups of this country Into two or more sections or possilly four as suggested by Watson, based on geographical or climatic barriers are. of course, based largely on the Northern or Republican viewpoint.- . Yet. In the South ern view. I think there is a possibility of sectional divisions In future, as from Mr. Watson's standpoint, the Pacific Coast or part west of Die Rockies, the part north of lha Ohio on& Xh& snt south oX the .Ooioi This depends, however, from what I have learned in observation and travel In th South and North on the two great funda mental questions before the country today, and their treatment by the party In power oi the race question and the economic or In dustrial question. The country is at present unified or ap parently so on the sui face, but among th old-time Southern leaders (or their descend ants who represent the lost cause) there U still an element of uncertainty. To stats a fact, the two sections do not fully under stand one another yet They Interpret th United States Constitution and Declaration of Independence differently. The South from tradition democratic yet still In a large de gree from the race Issue and Its consequence retains the penchant or dependence on the upper class government, while tho North. It seems to me. while traditionally or in the main favoring the Republican system which is In the main a modified system of Democ racy. Is tending towards centralization. Between these two views or tendencies, there may be a possible clash In future, but I do not believe the South would object If she got proper adjustment of her race and economic situations. The forces making for unity are too strong to resist, unless condi tions In any one section become practically unbearable. DAVID S. HENRY. Wopian May Be Deputy. OLTMPIA. Wash., Sept. 3.
