Peter Kerr. Roy McAyael . Is the official
Inspector.
There was an advance of one cent In all
wheat prices yesterday, except bluestem.
The exporters claim the gireign market
does not Justify paying "ore than was
quoted two days ago. and ra of them
declare the prices of that date were too
high by a cent or two. yet amther cent has
been added to the quotations by the larger
buyers, and they say they are ready - to
take all that Is offered at the new prices.
No reason is given for the latest advance.

over the two preceding days. Receipts were
on a liberal scale and the demand was
active.
Among the arrivals were a straight ear
of Levi cling peaches from California, a
mixed car of peaches and grapes, a mixed
car of grapes and sweet potatoes and a car
of oranges, besides numerous express ship
ments of peaches and other fruits.
Oregon Salway peaches sold at 11 to $1.25
per box according to grade and California
clings at $1 to $1.10 per box. Grapes
cleaned up well, fancy Tokays bringing
$1.15 and other varieties the former prices.

held at ti cents per basnet. a
The first car of Oregon potatoes to be
shipped South this season left for the San

supply limited the market was strong.
Butter and cheese wens firm and un
changed. BIG INCREASE IX BKKK SALES.
Production In August Shows Gain of Nearly
Half Million Barrels.
The production of beer In the fjnited
States In August, according to the statis
tics Issued by the Internal Revenue De
partment yesterday amounted to 6.020,845
barrels, an increase of 4S0.BS3 barrels over
the output of the same month last year.
This Is the largest gain shown In any month
for the past 20 months. As compared with
August. 1907, the past month's production
shows a loss of 574.613 barrels an the com
parison with August. 1(H(). .reveals a de
crease of 452.871 barrels.
In the months of June, July and August
of this year, the beer sales h.ve Increased
750.S47 barrels over .the corresponding
period last year. This would Indicate that
the breweries have drawn heavily on their
, reserve stocks of hops and they should soon
make their appearance In the market for a
new supply.
Trade In the local hop market yesterday
was nt large.' Klaber. Wolf & Nefter
bought a number of small lots at 20 to 22
cents. The prospects are that most of the
business this year will be in smalt lota
A letter from California reported the
purchase by Hall of loi bales of Yubaa at
22 cents, while Richardson secured two
small lots of Sacramentos at the same price.
A sale of 1908 Sacramentos was made at
13 cent. The new California crop was
estimated aa low as 58.000 bales.

LIVESTOCK WILL. BE SHIPPED
PIRECT TO STOCKYARDS.
Permission Given by the Oregon
Railroad Coniin -lon Prices
Are Well Slaintained.
Officials of the Portland Uplon Stock
yards are sending notifications to livestock
shippers throughout the state to bill their
shipments hereafter to Stockdaie Instead of
to Portland. Permission has been granted
by the Oregon Railroad Commission to the
Southern Pacific to establish through rates
for the shipment of livestock from Southern
Pacific points In Oregon to the Union
Stockyards at Stockdaie. The through ratea
will go into effect September 28. By the new
arrangement shippers will obviate the pay
ment of terminal chargea, which would fco
made against them on shipments billed to
Portland.
Receipts at the yards yesterday were 288
cattle and .64 sheep. Most of the cattle
came from Baker City and were of good
quality. The result was that the market
was well austalned at former prices. Sheep
held up well and good hogs were firm.
Prices quoted yesterday at the yards were
as follows:
CATTLE Steers, top quality. $4.25 4.50;
fair to g-cd. $4: common, $3.503.75; cows,

The head of the cattle-breeding depart
ment of the Japanese government, Mr.
Hashimoto, Is at present visiting England,
says tha London and China Telegraph, to
make purchases of stock. Mr. Hashimoto
discussed his mission with a newspaper rep
resentative a follows:
Meat eating Is on the Increase In Japan.
Its popularity is increased by. the recently
advanced theory that an overgreat con
sumption of rre Is a source of beriberi. The
upper and middle classes who have hitherto
eaten large quantities of rice, re now slowly
beginning to add meat to their dietary. Beef
la the , favorite dish. It Is now 10 or 12
years since we began to Import European
cattle Into Japan tL Improve our native
breeds. Our object ltr a dual one. We wish
to produce a beast which will be serviceable
for draft purposes, and will at the same
time be of value when subsequently killed
for meat. We aUo want to produce a good
milch cow. For the first purpose a brown
breed of Swiss cattle is found to make the
best cross; for the milkers we a$e Intro
ducing Ayrshires. On an average we send
over 100 beasts a year, and I have paid as
much as $7.X gold for a very good heifer.
We al.o Import Berkshire and Yorkshire
pigs, and sheep from Russia.

morrow will say:
Trade continues of favorable proportions.

buyers are requiring prompt delivery.
Retail trade Is getting Into better shape
at many centers. Warm weather has re
tarded Its fullest development. Commodity
prices, both for raw material and edibles,
are generally firm.
Iron and steel continue active, the chief
features being heavy buying of pig Iron at
higher prices, urgent requests for finished
goods and Increasing outputs of everything.
Steel-maklng-plg Irons have been bought
freely.
More New England shoe manufacturers
have been operating In leather this week
and -the volume of business is quite large,
though made up of small quantities. Prices

IMPORTS SHOW LARGE INCREASE.
Indicate Greater Spending; Capacity of This
Country.
NEW YORK. Sept. 24. R. G. Dun A 0.'s
weekly review of trade tomorrow will say:
While there are a few bad or uncertain
spots in the business situation, they are not
sufficient to change the generally cheerful
and, in some respects, brilliant outlook. The
movement in Iron and steel is tremendous,
resulting In instances of premiums paid for
prompt delivery.
The foreign trade Is unsatisfactory, In
view of the decreased exports and In
creased Imports, but It should not be over
looked that the former Is the result In part
of the more sapid advance In prices here
than abroad, while the big Imports testify
to the Increased spending capacity of our
people.
Many manufacturers of cotton goods are
considering curtailment of production to aid
In restoring the balance between cotton and
cloth prices, and to provide against the
dangers of piling up stocks In the primary
markets. -

DEMAND FALLS AWAY
SPKCUIxATIOX IN STOCKS AL
MOST SUBSIDES.
Exchange Will Be Closed Today and
This Is Partly Responsible
for the Dullness.
NEW YORK, Sept. 24. Trading In stocks
fell to a low ebb today. During the after
noon the condition became stagnant. The
decision of the stook exchange authorities
to close the exchange tomorrow. In observ
ance of the Hudson-Fulton celebration, was
partly responsible for this.
There was some diversion of speculation
In the cotton market, where the booming
tide of the demand brought the condition
Into resemblance with the great sp'edulative
episodes of the past In that medium. There
was a large participation in this activity
by tha usual frequenters of the stock mar
ket, and the volume of business there suf
fered accordingly.
The dullness of the trading left little mo
tive power in the price movement and its
wavering- course could not fairly be ac
cepted as a reliable Index of any opinions
on values.
Preliminary estimates of the week's cur
rency movement point to a small gain by
the banks from, the interior, but smaller
than last week, and with the tide 'of the
outward movement from this center rising.
The loss of the banks from sub-Treasury
operations of $3,952,000 has been reduced
apparently by a few hundred thousand dol
lars by reason of the receipts from the in
terior. There was a slight lowering of the private
discount rate in London today, which Indi
cates some relaxation of pressure there. Ad
vices from abroad represent a widespread
and Increasing demand for money at ail the
great centers and a desire to discourage fur
ther American borrowing for supposed spec
ulative purposes. 1
The feature of the meager dealings In
the stock market was the number of In
dividual transactions In Reading and to
some extent in United States Steel. The
persistence with which Reading was pushed
for sale on the advances and forced back
had much to do with the vacillating ten
dency of prices of the whole list. When
tha pressure On Reading subsided, a ten
dency of prices to rise moderately came
into notice. United States Steel and the
Pacifl.cs showed some strength. St. Louts
Southwestern was a feature of strength, in
spite of 'the anxiety regarding the cotton
crop, which the rise In the price of that
commodity suggested. The final drive
against Reading determined the closing tone
of the market.
Bonds were heavy. Total sales,par vaiue,
$2,594,000. United States bonds were un

CHICAGO. Sept. 24. Liberal sales of Sep
tember by a loading long caused general
weakness In the wheat market here today.
The ohlef factor contributing to the un
loading of this line was said to have been
the continued' enormous Northwestern re
ceipts and the falling on" in demand for the
cash grain In that section. The report of
a St. Louis trade Journal, indicating pros
pects for a full acreage of Winter wheat in
this country and a decline of nearly 2 oants
In cash prices at Kansas City further aug
mented the weakness. September sold be
tween $1.03 and $1.01, whlla December
ranged between 96c and 99. The close
was weak with September at $1.01 and
December at 68 o.
Despite the low temperatures throughout
the corn belt, corn was extremely weak all
day, because of the free selling by leading 4
cash interests. The market closea at in
low point at net declines of lc to lVic to

of the 10,000-ton Government oat contract,
being captured by a Minneapolis fli'm.

seek another market unless the price is low
enough to meet the bids of the Minneapolis

SALES OF SPOT WHEAT
MOKE BUYERS THAN SELLERS
AT SEATTLE.
Oats Are Steady With Few Offerings.
Fancy Apples Scarce and In
Demand.
SEATTLE, Wash., Sept. 14. (Special.)
Numerous ate of spot wheat were made
here today at 98 V4 cents. In fact, the mar
ket assumed better proportions than at any
time this season, with more buyer than
selWs In sight. Estimates made today
place the California wheat requirements
for the season at between 8.000.000 and 10,
000.000 bushels. Oats are steady with few
offerinfts. Dry weather, which has inmaipid
feed on the cattle ranges, Is eipected to
result In heavy feeding of oats this Winter
and was a bullish factor here today:
In produce, dealers anxiously await the
time when shippers - will send In fancy
apples. A good demand for fancy varieties
has developed, but stocks are not available,
sellers being unwilling to ship while East
ern buyers are bidding for fruit. Tomatoes
lumped up to aa high as 90 Icents, owing
to a shortage. Even poor stock sold as
high as 60 cents.
Peaches continue to arrive In small lots
from Oregon and California, but do not
move as well as last week. Prices range
from 90 cents to $1.35. The street Is en
deavoring to clean up Its supply of water
melons. Cantaloupes are In over supply and
weak. Grapes are unchanged.
