INDEPENDENT OF BUYERS Dealers Cannot Remember a Season When So Large a Proportion of the Crop Remained In First Hands at This Date. vTheat dealers of exnerlenos T that sot within their memory baa thars been a season when the firman showed so lit tle disposition to sell thslr wheat as now. Except In Umatilla County, whers about half the crop ha been sold, an 4 in Walla Walla, where probablr a third hss been marketed, there hae been very little done In the sell ing line as yet. .The proeperoua condition of the farmera baa made them Independent of the buyera, while the recollection of the high prlcea of laat year, together with the lnfluenoe exercised by union offlolals. hare eauaed them to hold their wheat. At the aame time, there haa not bees the toeecneaa on the part of dealera to enter ha market aa waa ths oaat yaat year and .prloes have oonaejuently sagged to the foreign level of values. A few of the . smaller millers tn the Interior are taking on supplies at full prices, but the trade ! tn general Is a -waiting- one. Local quota tions were unchanged yesterday. The oata and barley markets were quiet i yesterday. The feeling waa desoribed as one of weakness, yet holders In the coun try are not preaalng their crops for sale.

The bop market Is a lifeless affair, so far as new business la concerned. Dealers are at a loss to account for the absence of Eastern and foreign orders In the face of such a strong statistical position, and they are Inclined to believe that an organized effort Is being made to hold prices down at the opening. A large part of the Facl&o Coast crop is In the hands of Coast dealera and It Is possible that the trade in the Bast and In Bngland are trying to trre them out. If this proves to be so. It will bs a ease of survival of the fittest. Pending developments in the market, the dealers here are buaylng themselves taking In therr contracts The Government crop bulletin gave the condition of the American hop crop on September 1. 1909. as 85.7 per cent, com pared with 83.7 per cent on August 1, 1909; n.t per cent on September 1, 1908, and 88.6 per cent on September 1, 190T.

Hopplcklng Is now almost finished and will last only a few days longer In districts where plokers were scarce. As we already fesred In our laat report, the yield does not come up to former quantltlve estimates. but quality la on the whole, quite satisfactory. New hope commence to arrive, and- while some producers have Jet go rather medium qual ity at from 150 to 160 kronen (a krone Is 20a) per 110 pounds English. In order to get picking money, prices have rapidly In creased since then, aa high as 202 kronen having been paid today for ohoice. Old hop's, however, have Buffered a relapse, and al though quits considerable sales have taken place within the last week, prices paid were from SO to 60 kronen per sentner of HO pounds English. Nuremberg. Bavaria. Sept. 1. Hop picking In Bavaria only commenced a few days ago. and weather Is cold and rainy and warmer weather Is urgently needed. Some hops from Alsace and from Styria have arrived and a quiet business hss been done at 160 to 170 marks (one mark Is equal to 34 cents) per 110 pounds English. 1909 hops are selling at 60 to 80 marks, and low quality Alsetlane ware selling at from 4S marks down as low at 20 marks -VTe . have carefully compiled, and taken U average of numerous varying reports of this year's hop crop of all growing dis tricts of the globe, and have come to the conclusion that this year's hop crop wlU fall short 900.000 sentners from that of 1908 and fully 500,000 sentners agalnsr the average of the last ten years. This year's crop therefore, will not. by far. cover the consumption, but with the extraordinary large supplies left over from the previous three years, no hop famlns need be feared, and the dealers will hsve to use a great deal of precaution In entering , the new season, as large orders from ths breweries must not be expected for some time to come.

TRANSACTIONS ARE LARGE Steel Rises Briefly to a New Recsjrd Level Souaiern Pacific and Union Pacific in Demand. Bonds Are Firm. NEW YORK Sept. 20. Enoooragement for a resumption of speculative operations was found in ths substantial reouperatlon In the banking surplus, disclosed by the weekly bsnk statement Saturday, after the stock market had closed. The long time favorites in the specula"00 resumed their prominent position in the mar ket at the outset and rose rapidly on large transactions. Some check to the advance came when It became known that some or the bsnka were calling In loans and that readjustment ot accommodations were neces-? '"interior money markets reported a rising tendency In Interest rates and . announced pressure of demand. In the foreign market the Imperial Ger man Bank advanced its discount rate from 8 to to 4 per cent. The private discount rata rose both In London and In Paris, and while the competition for the weekly ar rival of gold In the London market was withdrawn. Russia took all the available supply at a reduction of a penny an ounce in prlos. .... United States Steel rose brleiiy to a new reoord level, helped by the highly favorable condition reported from all branches of the trade. An attempt was made to relieve the depressing lnfluenoe of recent unfavorable oopper trade advices by Intimation that a rise In the price of the metal was at hand, although by what agency was not clearly specified. Southern Paclflo and Union Paclfle were heavily bought, St. Paul was affected partly by profit-taking, but there were spec ulative buyers also who were disappointed that no action was taken at the annual meeting on Saturday that would supply Tights" to the stockholders, as had been rumored. The tone of the market increased as the day progressed. Bonds were firm; total sales, par value, $3,830,000. United States bonds were un changed on call. . CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS. ' Closing Sales.
