ALL GRAINS HIGHER
Local Prices Are Marked Up
Sharply.
SUPPLY IS VERY SMALL
Barley and Oats Firmer With a
Better Demand and Inadequate
Receipts Bluestem Wheat
Sells at 9 2 Cents.
All departments of the local grain mar
ket showed decided strength yesterday and
prices were raised sharply all around. The
market conditions were based aoiely on the
supply and demand position.
In barley, the showing of strength was
perhaps greater than in v the other cereals.
Quotations on whole feed barley were raised
to (23 924 and rolled oats was advanced to
f-526. It was said not much whole barley
could be had under S2TS0. Very little
barley Is coming In these days and what
is on hand is being held strongly. ' The
arrivaJs since July 1 have been only 16 cars.
There is not much barley left in the coun
try, according to all reports.
No oats were offered for sale under $28.
Ttecelpts are very small, only one or two
cars a day, while the demand Is active and
everything is being snapped up as fast
as received. Crop prospects in the valley
are excellent and it is said the yield will
be 3 per cent larger than last year. This
will be offset in some degree by the poorer
condition In Some sections east of the moun
tains. While the oats market Is strong
now, dealers regard the price as too high,
and look for a material reaction when new
oats begin coming in in quantity. That
will not be for a month yet. however.
Barley prices are also expected to ease off
when the new f?rop gets to moving, but
there Is not likely to be as much of a
recession as in oats.
The wheat market is difficult to quote.
There Is notfrauch Inquiry, but what de
mand doea exist seems to be of an urgent
character. A sale of bluestem was reported
yesterday at 92 cents and there was talk
of higher prices being paid. Whatever
damage the growing crop has suffered In
the Pacific Northwest seems to be in the
bluestem sections, and for this reason the
trade looks for an unusually wide spread
this year between the price of bluestem and
club. One dealer gave it as. his opinion
that new crop club would open around 80
cents and new bluestem at 82. or there
abouts. Club was quoted yesterday nominal
at M cents. This is about 5 cents above
its export value, but it cannot be bought
for Ilss.

HOP t'ABI-ES HOT SO BUIXJSH.
Weather in Europe Is Again Favorable
Hern hard Hlng's Letter.
Yesterday's hop cables were not as bullish
an -those of Monday, reporting the weather
favorable in England and on the Continent
and clop prospects unchanged.
A letter from Bcrnhard Blng, of Xurera
burg. was as follows:
"The outlook for the growing hoa crop
Is very good. The vine has nearly reached
the top of the poles and yards are showing
perfectly sound vines, vigorous and free from
Inserts. Even the poor roots, for which we
feared some time ago, have entirely recov
ered. If the weather continues to be as
favorul'le as lataly we have every right to
expect a very cood yield both In Bohemia
and Bavaria. Though crop prospects on the
whole r.re satlstuctc-ry In nearly all produc
ing paints, we anticipate a very strong de
mand for the new crop on account of the
short supply left In brewers' hands all over
the world."
The Watervllle Times, of July 15, says
of the New York crop:
While there was some rain on Tuesday
night. It was not nearly enough to materially
benefit the crops, and even hops are suffer
ing from dry weather. Many of the late
yards are already in blow, and that means
there will be no more hop-bearing arms or
shoots. -Notwithstanding a late Spring, hops
have gotten their growth about 10 days
earlier than usual and consequently a short
crop is predicted, and the vines In most of
the yards would seem to bear out this pre
diction. There are still several lots of hops
In growers' humls In this vicinity and about
tlie beet that Is offered for them is 20 to
cents.

The peforrmance In the oats market "was

quoted at $:!9.50, 2uO tons of good oats
could not be obtained, either here or in
the country, today at S32. One local mill
has been obliged to close temporarily, ew

The boat brought over 9000 packages of

STOCK MARKET NARROW
r-ITTLK ATTENTIOX IS PAID TO

Canadian Pacific lcels tlie Effect ot
the Strike on the Grand Trunk.
The Banking Position.
NEW YORK. July 19. Only listless at
tention was vald to any news by operators
in stocks tociay, and no inducement waa
found for taking; steus In the market that
made a perceptible effect on prices. The
amounts of the dealings were trivial And the
range of prices narrow. t
The banking outlook, the labor Question
and crop news were discussed with languid
lnterest..and dealings growing out of these
considerations were often reversed in the
course of the day's session. An early de
cline was followed by a recovery, leaving
fractional gains.
Canadian Pacific was rather acutely af
fected, by the sympathetic influence of the
strike on the Grand Trunk. That occur
rence seemed to dominate sentiment over
the labor q uestlon to the exc ) vision of th e
agreement on a basis of settlement between
the Pennsylvania, and Its employes both
West and East.
Its influence was enhanced by the -uneasy
feeling existing in England over the dis
pute ' over wages on some of its railroad
systems, while the French railroads are In
the throes of a like contention.
Influences from the side of "crop advices
were mixed. The movements In the cotton
market arc accepted as providing phases of
a speculative campaign rather than ac
curately reflective of the state of supply
and its promise.
Various factors are combining to build
up the strength of the New York banking
position, but the effect on sentiment in the
stock market is modified by a disposition
to look askance at the revived movement
for the formation of currency associations
such as are provided for in the law for
issuance of emergency currency. The dec
larations of Treasury authorities and auch
bankers as favor the movement that the
time is fitting, owing to absence of any
present emergency, do not prevent assump
tions that preparation is desired for a pos
sible rtsort to emergency issues this Fall.
The United States Treasury Is turning
back into the money market a large pro
portion of the sum collected for the corpora
tion Income tax. Heavy Government dis
bursements have established a gain for the
New York banks on the operations with the
sub-treasury since the first bank statement
of $.",SO,WOO. Currency- receipts from the
interior avid incoming gold shipments are
to b reckoned in addition.
Bonds were steady. Total sales, par value,
