OLD RATE
No Reduction in Price of Old-
Crop Fiour.
OWING TO ITS SCARCITY
Miller Announce Cut to $5.10 in
cw Patents, but w Flour
Will Not Bo Ready to Vse '
for fceveral Weeks.
Stocks of old wheat dr In the hands of
millers in the Pacific Northwest are now
extremely small, very few having any at all.
Thla faot developed at a conference of mil
lers of the two etatee. Owing to this soarelty
and the. fact that new crop flonr will not be
fit for use for eeveral weeka yet. the cur
rent price of old flour $ 25 per barrel
will be maintained. Whether or not enough
old flour can be found to meet the retjolre
ments of trade until the new article la ready
remains to be seen.
At the eame time, announcement la made
of a reduction In the price oc new crop
patent flour. Price carda will be aent out
today, quoting new patents at 13.10 per bar
r. a reduction of Jl-lo from the prloe of
"old flour. There la very little trade In new
flours at thts time of year, however, and the
millers and wholesalers do not look for
moon of a movement now. Although there
Is such a difference In the old and" now
prlcellsts. It Is probable that people who re
. julre flour In the next few weeks will turn
their attention to the old crop. With new
flour, complaints are frequent, leading to
friction between consumers and grocers and
between grocers and manufacturer For
this muon. there Is likely to be more trade
In last year's product than In the new article
for some time to come.
No changes have been made In the prices
of mill feeds and the opening quotations
given out some time MO are still In force.
Wheat trading Is not active and former
prices continue to be quoted. A Pendleton
dispatch says of the attitude of growers In
Eastern Oregon:
As a result of the Independent attitude
taken by the grain growers of this section of
' the state. It Is estimated tlt not more than
half of the grain crop of the country thla
season has been sold. Having declared early
In the year that they would receive II per
bushel for wheat, the farmers have shown
little disposition to deal with the buyers
on the basis of the present market Quo
tations It Is reported that practically all
wheat in the vicinity of Athena has been
told, while much of that at Adams has
chanted hands. Most of that at the other
stations Is still held by the growers, while
several thousand bushels are stacked in the
fields, where it waa placed at the Inception
of the controversy between the growers and
warehouse men relative to storage charges.
One result of the slow sules has been the
absence of the usual car shortage, which
has been wont to characterise the wheat
shliplng season In past years. There was
a slight congestion of freight In the Pendle
ton yards at the opening of the season,
due to the lack of sufficient motive power,
but with the arrival of reserve engines from
the Southern Pacific and Oregon Short Line
this difficulty has been overcome and prac
tically ail the wheat purchased by the ship
pers Is now at tidewater polnta Consid
erable quantltlee have been taken by the
various mills throughout the country.
Portland receipts. In cars, were reported
by the Merchants' Exchange as follows:

HOPS GO TO 10 CENTS.
Toggle Bought at Advance of Two Cento
Over Opening Price. -
The market for fuggle hops evidently
opened too low. Hayes, of Eugene, bought
the first lot of the season at 18 cents, as
waa reported! In this paper, but for the see
on d lot. amounting to 73 bales, wblch he se
cured Wednesday afternoon, he paid 10
rents. Yesterday. 11. L. Hart, of this city,
lifted the market another cent by paying
20 cents for 120 bales of Harrlsburg fug
glea Most of the early hops In that section
have now been sold. If the late hops ahow
the same progressiva advance, there will
be things doing when the market for them
opens, which Is likely to occur almost any
day new. 1
The following cable was received yester
day from the London office of Klabar. Wolf
& Netter:
".Crop ! coming down Jess than estimated.
Estimate English crop at 210.000 to 220.000
cwt. Orowers are asking 120 to 140 shill
ings. On continent, weather is unfavorable
for picking."
The Watervllle Times, of September 8.
says of the New York crop and market:
Hop picking Is now In full blast and the
crop Is being secured In excellent condition.
In many cases the yield Is better than ex
pected.' while a few are falling off. It Is
generally thought that there will be as
many hops In this state ae last year, though
there waa more acreage then than now. In
regard to the bad scare over the attack of
mqld. Ircan be said that It has spread
only to a few yards and that the general
crop In this section will not be damaged
by It. Fortunately the -attack came as late
as It did and the weather has . been Ideal
to prevent its spread. Several lots of
Humphreys have been sold slnoa this variety
was harvested at 2Sc and 80c. Most grow
ers of the late crop are not In the market
at present
THE DALLES AS A BUYER OF PEACHES.
.Depending; on Southern Oregon This Year
For Its Mupply.
Front-street merchants are having the un
usual experience thts year of filling orders
from The Dalles for peaches. In other years
The Dalles fcas been one of the largest ship
pers of peaches to this market, but this year
not enough were raised for home consumption,
a.nd Southern Oregen Is making up the de
ficiency. Early Southern Oregon Crawfords are about
done for now aad the late ' varieties. Mulrs,
E-bertas. lemon snd orange clings and a few
late Crawfords, are coming forward. The
market yesterday was firm, Oregon stock
bringing 6Ic6$1.10. per box. according to qual
ity, and California Salways holding at 7B9
V cents.
Cantaloupes were in good supply, Fayettes
moving at $1.2581.60 per crate and poorer
fruit according to Its worth. Grapes sold
at ths usual wide range. Aaother er of
watermelons will arrlvs from The Dalles to
day. A car of lemons la also due this morn
ing. The lemoa market la Arm and 60 cents
h gher In California.
BUTTER FIRM, AT THE ADVANCE.
Local Snpply Is Small and Price Tendency I
I'pward.
The butter market was very firm ' yes
terday at the new quotation of 36 cents.
One company put out a price of 38 cents,
but the general quotation of the city cream
eries was 36. The local supply waa limited.
Stocks of cheese were also small and the
market was very firm.
A good many chickens came In and most
of them were disposed of under a steady
demand. Hens were quoted sit 14Htfl5
cents and Springs half a cent higher.
The egg trade continues sluggish.
Poor Prosper for Potato Market.
Potato-deal era hold out no hope for any
extensive shipping movement In potatoes be
fore the end of the. year. At the present
time the market Is purely a lcl affair. River
potatoes are selling around 60 and AS cent In
Csj1t"iT' and Oregon cannot compete against
I such a low price, either In California or the
Southwest. - A bumper crop is promised in
this state and unless something unforseen
happens the prospects are for low prices', ac
cording to authorities In th!a line.

STOCK PRICES SAG
Protective Measures in the
Market Are Relaxed.
BREAK AT THE CLOSE
News of Harriman's Death Received
After the Session Is Ended.
Borrowing Demand for
Union Pacific. :
NEW YORK. Sept. I. The stock market
started out today with the supposition, ap
parently, that conditions were adjusted to
await the news from Mr. Haxrlman s sick
chamber without furier feverish excite
ment. The news of the financier's death
came 85 minutes after the stock market
closed. ' ' ,
The early dealings were on a small scale.
The protective measures In the market were
relaxed later, and when the rumors and
contradictions began to be reaelved. the
gradual sag that had set In waa converted
Into a preclpltatlve decline. Support seemed
to be withdrawn and the market waa left
to take care of Itself. It waa concluded that
It had been decided by the backers of the
market that preparations for a shock would
be more effective by not attempting to hold
prices artificially at the advanced level.
That opinion In the flnanoial community
waa prepared for an unfavorable termina
tion of Mr. Harriman'i Illness was not dis
guised. It was noted that an aetlvs bor
rowing demand existed for Union Paclflo
stocks In the loan crowd, where the oper
ators short of storl seemed, unable to fill
their temporal-- retirements for delivery.
The approaching yinual meeting of the
Union Pacific, it v t s alleged, had atlmu
lated a borrowing emand for the stock for
purposes of representation. This explana
tion did not allay anxiety on the part of
stockholders, aa It served to give some points
to rumors of internal dissensions in the
company and to revive attention to the
charges made by Mr. Harrlman's friends of
an attempt to raid during his Illness.
Another explanation of the borrowing
demand for Union Pacific was that it rep
resented sales by those Inside of the prop
erty who desired to conceal their Identity
by borrowing stock for delivery, rather than
appearing openly as sellers.
The special weakness ot the Gould group
was due to the supposed Interest Mr. Hsr
rlman has shown In the financial plans for
these properties.
Money rates were not affected.
The break resulted la carrying prices con
siderably loa-er than were touched In the
slump of Saturday, August 28.
Bonds were weak. Total sales, par value.
$:t.646,o00i United States bonds unchanged
