Things have come to that pass in the wheat market where It Is practically impossible to buy wheat., Offers aa high as 0 cents for bluestem have failed to induce holders to let go. The demand yesterday was rood, buyers representing; California houses and the local speculative trade, but their effort to secura supplies met with failure for the most part. Farmers are- cloaely watching the course of the Eastern markets and. besides, are bulliahly affected by the crop condltloas In the interior. While the prospects are good at all points aouth of the Snake River, there are some un favorable reports from points north of the river. The market for patent flour is firm and buying: is oh an increased scale. The ten dency of prices is upward, though it la not know bow soon the advance will come.

Cutting is ex pec 1 eo to commence in about ten days. The yield la expected to be below that ol last year. France There have been continued heavy rains, which have caused floods, and fears are r xpresffsvd of partial to heavy lusscs. In the Barly event, however, of fine weather, fair harvest result are possible, which will render large imports of foreign grain unnecessary. Germany There have been heavy general rainn during- tne earner part of the week, which are damaging the growing crop, but a late report states that the weather has Im proved. Italy Harvesting is progressing actively.. An official report states that an average crop is indicated, with tr.e exception of the Pro vince of Abruzsi, whore the crop Is poor. The quality of the new wheat Is generally disap pointing. Russia Tropical hfat prevails in the south and there are complaints of a shrivelled plant. lrouth prevail in the north.

Australia The recent high conditions are being maintained. The outlook Is mainly favorable. ANOTHER ADVANCE IX BCTTER SOON Pastures Are Drying tip and Cream is Now Becoming; Scarce. Creamery men anticipate another advance in city butter prices the latter part of the week. The market keeps closely cleaned up and Is very firm. The hot f eather ia dry ing up the pastures and the cream supply is steadily decreasing. - The poultry market was easier yesterday than at the close of last week. A good many coops of hens were sold at IS cents and not so many at 19 cents. The general quotation on Springs was 20 cents and they moved slowly at .that price. Other kinds of poultry were not in demand. There was a fair trade in Oregon eggs, generally at 27 cents, but some business was reported at 26 cents.

Experienced IlarrUburg Grower's Opinion of T. A. Uvetdey'a Circular. HARRIS BURG. Or. July IS. (To the Editor.) I have carefully noted the particulars of T. A. Llvesley Co.'s circular letter published in The Ore gonlan the 6th inst and so far as it relates to the improvement of quality in our hops-, it reiterates the common view. We well un derstand that quality la the principal factor In nxlng prices on hops and every other product, both locally and for export. In resard to spraying. I am of the opinion that there is ground for further experiment. t year my neighbors 'expended heavy sums of money and labor in spraying, with a re sulting loss from mould of 25 to 40 per cent, while 1 did not spray and suffered - no loss whatever. However. I keep a full supply of spraying material for u3 when condition re quires. Hop lands vary as to strength of soil and deph to moisture so much that each grower is compelled. In order to suc ceed, to solve .the problem for himself. There can be no fixed rules. As to the lOOOtf, we have none of them here, consequently there will not be nv of them here that Llvesle- refers to as of less i nan o-crnt value to embarrass the market of 191. and should supply and demand be al lowed to continue to control the market, we have a hopeful outlook. However, the hop market ha been so utterly in the hands of middlemen here that growers do not know what is before them. "A child dreads fire most after being burned." They look upon these circular letters from middlemen with grave suspicion and scrutinize them closely. wun tne expectation or nnding a taint of commercialism 'lurxing within their bound J. R CARTWRIGHT. BA WEATHER FOR ENGLISH HOPS. Ratn Is ReportVd, but Market Is not Af fected by It. Rain In Kngland was the weather cable received by hopdealers yesterday. The 1onrion market for Pacific was not af fected, however, remaining unchanged at 90 shillings per cwt. for the best. According to the New York Journal of Commerce, in Germany and the other hop growing countries of the European Con tinent, the weather for some time past has been cold and wet. retarding the growth of the hop plant, so that latest cable ad vices from there in regard to crop pros pects are not as glowing as they were a snort time ago. The Journal of Commerce's estimate of the Knglish crop is 370.000 cwt. There was no new business in the local market yesterday. The Oregon crop, accord ing to all reports, was in fine condition. Tim Mc.Xeff. who has just returned from a trip through Washington, says the Yak ima crop Is looking fine, but the Western Washington hops appear a little light. There la no lice anywhere In the state. He esti mates the Washington crop at to Q60 to 5.000 bales. OKKt.ON CAMALOIPES IX MARKET J-tve Cr of Watermelons Mod Ready Sale Feaches Are linn.

The market was swamped with apricots and peaches. Six carloads of watermelons arrived. The top price on melons today was 1 cents, with sales re ported as low as Hi cents. Raspberries were scarce at fl.75, due to the fact that the valley growers are obtaining higher prices in Eastern markets than they can obtain on tne bound.

CHICAGO. July 18. The new Winter wheat which arrived here today did not find a ready market unless with warehousemen, who looked askance at fancy shades. An unusual proportion of the arrivals was. of high quality No. 1, and considerable was held over unsold. At Kansas City alone iHKl.oOO bushels came in. It was notable that the wheat bought here today to arrive was largely from Indiana and Illinois, where rains Tiave been frequent and heavy of late. Weakness at Minneapolis, attributed to the pressure of Winter wheat from the Southwest, had a decided effect here In the latter part of the day. During the first half of the season, dry weather Northwest, crop damage in France and a notable collection of bullish statistics pushed price upward. Selling of nearby options and the purchase of deferred deliveries wax done on a large scale by elevator interests. The tone of the market at the m-lndup was nervous and unsettled.

NEW YORK, July 18. There was demon strated the inadequacy of any present de mand for stocks to absorb considerable of ferings for sale. Prices yielded easily to a recurrence of selling pressure, the with holding of which was largely responsible for the show of negative strength In last week's market. The narrow proportions of the market came into view in the latter part of the day, when it became plain that it was bare of offerings again, so that the uncovered bears had to bid up to secure stocks. The professional character of such dealings as there were was indicated hv the heaw con gestion of the day's transactions in three or four .stocks. Losses were arenerallv re covered before the day was over and there w ere not a few gains to be found. There Was much disrllJtKion nt Tr.H. Twui tion in the leading metal industries, and this was held responsible for much of the n easiness shown by stocks. The copper in ausiry. especially, was the subject of un favorable comment. The large stocks of copper on hand are believed to have played some part In the credit position of the banks and to be the oh1eot cif nnure. in that way, from the directors of larger banking and financial concerns. The re ports of a scaling down of prices of steel products added to the feeline of uneasiness over the metal trade discussion. Cutting by independents ' was believed to threaten reprisals by the leading interest, which might throw the situation into confusion again, such as accompanied the throwing open of the market In February of 1909. The dispute between the Pennsylvania Railroad and its employes was not much considered in connection with the early weakness of stocks, but the reports of good prospects for settlement had an influenco in the later recovery. The strong banking position disclosed by the Saturday bank statement detracted from the importance of the money market as an Influence. The material addition to last week's cash holdings has been greatly added to already by the heavy disbursements from the sub-treasury on account of Government payments. Last week's shipments of gold from London will figure In next Saturday's bank statement, and today's engagement of all the J3.0OO.0OO gold offering in London promises an extension of the movement. The prominence of the Spring wheat grangers In the rally of prices was not unconnected with the, weakness of the wheat markets in the Northwest. Bonds were irregular. Total sales, par value, SI. 421.000. United States bonds were unchanged on call. CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS. Minneapolis Grain Market. MINNEAPOLIS. July 18.
