Grain men who routed the recent report that there vu Inquiry l-m the East for North Paclne Coast barley, will have to revise their views, for the Inquiry ha de veloped Into actual business and some shlp menta have already been made The quan tltlea that have tra forward are not large, yet this new business has been sufficient to add strength to the barley' position here. All holders are firm at the last prices quoted. There Is also a renewal of the demand for wheat for Eastern shipment and some small .sales are reported to have been made for this account. Since the Eastern cash mar- ! kets began to Improve a few daya ago. ' Kastern buyers have been bidding more or ! iM freely In this section, and their offere I yesterday were even higher than during; the ' boring flurry of two weeks ago.

It is not likely the English hop buyers can much lorger delay their appearance In the Oregon market. They have bought up ti"lr heme crop closely and can he de pended on very soon to turn their attention :o the Pacific Coast. When they begin buy Ir.K here. If they do so In large volume. It can have only one result on prices. Not only tho English buying, but the American huyintr also that will be stimulated by It. v.-IU very likely put the market on the 80 tent level. The following cable was received yester day by Klaber, Wolf & Netter from their London office: "English crop four-n'ths sold. Market has Improving tendency. Holdera asking higher prices." New York advices are that only S0O0 to 1O.000 bales, remain unsold In that state. There are 14.5tK bales unsold In California, distributed as follows: Sonoma, 3000 balea; Russian River. 1300 bales; Sacramento. 10. 000 bales. Of the unsold Bacramentos. 4500 bales are owned by Durst and Lovdar. dealer-growers. Washington has 400 balea In farmers bands. 2.-.O0 In Taklma and 1500 In Western Washington. It la estimated that about 19.0v0 bales are unsold la Pre-' gon. A number of Salem hop dealers came In yesterday and more will arrive today, to gether with, many growers, to see the moving-picture exhibition of the Horst bop ptcklng machine. The exhibition will be held thla morning at the National Theater, on Seventh street, near Washington. HOLLAND I.IK KM AMERICAN' APPlfS. Great Possibilities There for Shippers, Says Consul Morgan. Henry H. Morgan, rmted States Consul at Amsterdam, says that the American apple '. Is very popular In Holland, and that country ' offers great possibilities for the shipper of the toothsome product. "Holland consumed half a million dol lars worth of American apples last year," said Mr. Morgan, "and they also ate up per haps a larger quantity or American applos that masqueraded as German. You see the Germans won't allow the tnportatlon of ap ples that have what la called the San Jose cale, which has never been proved to be anything else than a harmloas thing, and whsn American apples so affected arrive at Bremen or Hamburg they are at once re I shipped to Holland, where there Is no ruling against such. If American apple experts would ship direct to Holland it would mean much more money In their pockets. ' FRUIT TRADE IS OX SMALL, 9CAJLE. Complaint of Wormy Apples Shipped la From, Hood River. Businers was not very lively In the fruit trade yesterday. Supplies, particularly of crapes, were large and a good deal of stock was carried over. But prices were not changed.

It Is believed that the hot weather some veeks ago did not Injure the crop to any extent. The nuts are of much better quality than last season and weigh heavier. The two associations will ship nearly as many carloads as were moved last Reason. The Fullerton Associa tion will probably ship about 60 carload?. It having marketed 5.1 cars last year.

Prices were down from 5 to 50 oents. Re ceipts have not only been excessive of late, but generally poor In quality aa well. At the same time the packers are slow buyers, as they have practically all they need for the immediate future. Several bunches of half fattened cattle have been driven out to gran this week to relieve the situation. . The top price realized on steers yesterday waa $4 and on cows $3.25. Hogs and sheep hld their own well, but nothing was aold at top quotations. Receipts foi the day were 294 cattle and 60 bogs. i Shippers at the yards were W. H.

BORROWING IN LONDON Market Is Broad and Active and Prices Advance Throughout the List Steel Leads In" , the ' Trading. - NEW YORK, Oct. 29. Today saw a con siderable revival of speculative Interest In stocks. The cause was the easing money market and the confidence that conditions would further relax with the passing of the November 1 money settlements. The source of supply of the additional funds offered In the money market waa believed to be Lon don, where. It was reported, private bankers had been Induced to replace some of the accommodation recently called ' In response to the maneuvers of the Bank of England. The attraction for this operation was the payment of a commission to the English bankers by the American Ctorrower. which amounted to a sharp premium over the Interest rate ruling In the money market there. The resumption of American borrowing In Iondon marks a defeat for the expressed policy of the Bank eif England, when It set about to control the London money markets and to make Its advances In the official discount rate effective. The possibility came Into discussion, therefore, of further de fensive measures by the bank to defeat this movement. The week's currency movement has been against the New York banks, according to the preliminary estimates, although the net result Is ameliorated by the shrpment of funds from the Interior, the balance In favor of New York being estimated upward of $3. 000.000 On subtreasury operations, how ever, the' banks have lost $.1.2T1.000. while gold exports to South America and to 'anada have taken an additional $3,475,000. The maintenance of the surplus reserve at as high figures as last week is Independent, therefore, upon a reduction In the deposit liability through losn contraction. The stock market proved . broad and active and a comprehensive advance In price was effected. The covering operations of a substantial short Interest were given credit for a good part of the day's buying. United States Steel still absorbed a large proportion of the total dealings and Its ag gressive advance formed an effective lead ership. This was supplemented by fresh strength In Union Pacific. Southern Pacific and Reading. The copper Industrials held a conspicuous position. Bonds were firm. Total sales, par value, $4,452,000.' United States bonds were un changed on call.

Bradstreet's tomor row will say: Trade as a -whole is good. Industry in turn responds with advices of full manu facturers' order books, full or overtime runs, and general reports of an insufficiency of labor to meet requirements. Altogether, the situation is very satisfactory, and the rate of improvement In late months promises to place 1909 close to the front In the list of years of prosperity. While mild weather has tended to retard retail trade In some sections of the North west, the general report Is that the ad vance of the season and the marketing of the year's crops Is bringing out a large volume of trade In country districts, while enlarging payrolls. Fall festivals and state fairs are all helping to stimulate distribution In the cities. Early reports as to holiday trade are also very good. Spring trade Is reported of good volume and the general movement Is toward enlarged salas.

EXPANSION IX THE STEEL TRUST. Trust Is Preparing for a Steady Growth of Business. NEW YORK. Oct. 29. R. G. Dun A Oo.'s) weekly review of trade tomorrow will say: Further progress Is making in trade expan sion and financial conditions are more settled, while politics, in spite of the nearness of election day. does not materially affect the business section. The report of the leading trade circles are so uniformly favorable as to leave no question of doubt em to the wide spread character of tbe revival. If further evidence of the rapid expansion In Iron and steel were needed, it Is furnished by the' report of the steel corporation for tho third quarter and the appropriation of $10,000, 000 for new construction work, which testifies to the confidence shown In a steady grott of business In the future. The leading railroads continue to make lib eral purchases of needed ' equipment, recent vales of rails aggregating 801. X tons. New business comes forward slowly in structural lines. More interest to shown In the wire trade than for some time east. Stocks In retailers' hands are reduced and ordera for Fall have been so conservatively placed that the rush for Immediate delivery forces prices higher. - Bank Clearings. NEW YORK. Oct. 29.
