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.

Consul John T. 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.
Local receipts. In cars, were reported by
the Merchants Exchange as follows:

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.

Small Fluctuations in Wheat
at Chicago.
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:

Produce Quotations.
SEATTLE. Wash.. Sept. 8. (Special.) The
wheat farmers are still holding to a great
extent and buyers are not yet willing to meet
their views entirely. The wheat market Is
on a healthy basis and the demand is able
to take care of the offerings. Spot oate are
very firm and shipments have not been as
heavy as had been anticipated. Arrivals are
readily saleable at $301132 per ton. Rat-ley
Is firm, - partly because of the strength of the
San Francisco market. Arrivals are not very
heavy and spot barley is In good demand.

well-stocked with good, bad and indifferent
stock. The market is still glutted with
grapes, which are moving slowly.
The dairy produce market was unchanged.
Wicosln cheese was very Arm. Eggs were
weak. Poultry was quiet.

DIVIDE COUNTRY, PERHAPS
South May Yet Seek -Haven, From
Hatred of Centralization.
SPRINGFIELD, Or.,. Sept. 2. (To the
Editor.) 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.
