This Section.
LOCAL MARKET STRONG
i:a.rrn Demand for Wheat Revives
and Some Business Is Being
Worked Buyers Offer Bet
ter Prices Than Before.
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. Farmers"
'Ideas have advanced In the meantime, how

Only One-fifth of the Crop Remain. In Grow
er. Hands.
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."

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.
There was. sm complaint on the street of
certain Hood River apple shirpers who have
sent In shipments of wormy apples to this
market. The Fruit Inepector Intends to call
Che attention of the Hood River association
to this practice.
Amors; the receipts yesterday were two
straight cars of new California walnutst.
.Movement of California Walnuts.
It Is reported from Fullerton, Ca!.. that
new crop walnuts are now corning Into tho
packing-houses, and heavy shipments will
begin within a few days. 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. The
Golden Belt Association will handle about
30 carloads, it having shipped about 3,1 last
season.

CATTLE MARKET IS OFF
STKEKS A HE SELLING 25 TO 50
CENTS LOWER.
Itecelpts Are Excessive, Quality Gen
erally Poor and Packers Arc
Slow Buyers.
The weakness of the cattle market, was the
feature of trade at the stockyards yesterday.
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. Harris,
of Weioer, Idaho, with eight cars of cattle;
R. B. Weant, of Vale, Or., one car of hogs,
and D. McGill, of Ontario, three cars of cat

JliONEY IS EASIER
And Speculative Interest in
Stocks Revives.
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.

Steel Business Booming.
NEW YORK. Oct. 29. 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. -
