No buslnesa waa reported from California
or Washington ytrley. Tho fact that
12 rent wa oftrt for Sacramento
would Indicate that Oregon should bring
about IS cents. A London cable reported
the English market firm with an advancing
tend en cr-
It will surprise Oregon bopgrover and
dealers to learn that In England they hare
ether uses for hope than tho manufacture
n? malt beverages. In Manchester, the hop
enter Into the preparation of cattle feed,
according to tha following report from Vlce-t-eniul
John W. Thomas, at that port:
A recent arrival at tht Mancheeter docks
waa a cargo of thick liquid sugar from
tenlo-os to be. used br a local firm for
the manufacture, in conjunction with hops
and other ingredients, ef cattle feed and
other apeclaltlea used In the rearing of farm
stock. The shipment waa pumped from the
vessel Into lank core In which It wee con
vened to the manufacturers works This
liquid sugar differs from molasaea In so
mu'-h aa tha nonrrystalised cane sugar re
tains such valuaMe materials as pectin
Jutre. Irme. glucoee and gums, which are
aoc round In the ordinary white sugar used
for domestic purposes. The bulk of liquid
cargo were until recently conveyed In bar
rels, but the Introduction of tank vessele
he proved so economical that thla mode of
shipping will probably be more largely
adapted In tha future. The question of the
ware and means of transportation should
bo of Interest and Importance to American
. manufacturers and exporters, and tbla Illus
trate the latest lnooatlon at the port of
Manchester.
The Sacramento Hee says that K. C.
Horat'a bopplrktnc machine waa given a
demonstration at the Homl ranch near Per
kins, among the spectators being Dr. W. W.
Mckberjer. of the raited Plate Bureau of
riant Industry, and James Thompson, a
Government expert la the same department.
lr. Stockborger la quoted a saying of tha
machine.
The hops picked by the machine are much
cleaner lhaa the hlfhenl clasa of hand
rtckrd hops. I have never seen anr work
done by hand thai begins to equal It. We
employed men. paying them by the day. to
pick hos for re-taln experiments In which
we needed an exceptionally clean product,
but even under lhee clreumatancea the hop
we obtained dtil not compare In cleanness
with those which thie machine turns out.
The machine la certainly a great success la
every rewpect. All the principles under
which It i to work have beea carried out
la perfecttou. and the Improvements which
may be from time to time added will ba
simply merchanlt-al.

In some parts of the Paiouse country
farmers are selling wheat qulle readily,

weeded out and the others seem determined
to hold on for a while longer. Buyers are
not keen for wheat la any section. Tha
exporters are getting a little hers and there,
but the millers and ths other d re 1 e re are
sot doing much. Prlcea were unchanged

The first carload of Jonathan apples srrtved.
Fresh ranch egg were very firm. No

although dealers declare buyers would pay
more If they could obtain an adequate sup
ply. April eggs sre weak. Poultry also
moved out freely at top prices Butter was
steady, but unchanged.
The feature of the grain market was the
drop In the price of oat to S2V.SO and bar
ley to t:i. Thla la tha first time oats have
dropped below $30 here this season. Eastern

WHEAT EASY AT CLOSE
CHICAGO MARKET IS SLOW AND
HESITATING THROUGHOUT.
Supplies Accumulating Rapidly In
the Northwest, Owing; to Absence
of Shipping Pemand.
CHICAGO. Sept. 13. Light arrivals ef
wheat Northwest were said to be illusive.
Supplies la that section accumulated rapidly,
owing to the absence of shipping demand.
It was also alleged that loaded cars de
layed by a lark of motive power, were
crowding the sidings south and west of Min
neapolis It was a slow, hesitating market
throughout, with th close easy at nearly
the lowest prices of the dsy. The action
was a disappointment to thoee who hoped
for a continuance of yesterdays strength,
but tha course ot prices failed also to satis
fy traders who laid stress chiefly on the
bearish statistics December ranged from
Unit j!Nc to BTie. closing He to jiJe
off at '4e90Hc
Absence of froat caused anguish to own
ers of corn options and led to considerable
unloading. Fluctuations of tho December
delivery were between 55fl35Hc and 534ac,
with the close c to So under last niglit,
at 53 tec. The cash market was week. No.
2 yellow closed at S7-w6'57ate.
Oats although easier, did not sympathise
fully with the decline In other grain. This
condition was laid largely to the fact that
the Canadian oata crop waa offlclaly stated
to be only ie3.ooo.0O0 buahela this year, as
against S53.ooo.000 bushels In the previous
12 months December varied from 35a to
S5Uc with th latest transaction ic down
at 35 He.
A decline In live hogs the weakness in
corn and some selling by packera lowered
provisions Latest quotations war at nearly
tha bottom for the seaaon and were off 159
17HC to 45c for pork: 14 17 He to 32 He for
lard, and 17 He to 23c for ribs

Market Goes Up on News of
Maine Election.
BONDS ARE ALSO FIRM
Result Construed as Sign of disor
ganisation of Force Moving for
Corporation Control Bank
ing; Position Good.
NEW TORK. Sept. 13. The election in
Maine was the principal news event which
the stock speculation had to digest today.
The fact that prices advanced on receipt
of the news led to the inference that the
resftlt had no displeasing Influence on holders
of securities The Main election was con
strued as a symptom of disorganization of
the political forcea moving for control and
restriction of corporation powers This con
struction followed, rather than preceded,
the upward movement of prices. Pontics
as a disturbing element seemed to be dem
onstrated to be unreliable.
The banking position offers no immediate
obstacle to the maintenance of stock values.
The demands on the New York banka for
cash are moderated and the Incoming re
porta of National bank conditions September
1 are regarded aa showing; a satisfactory
position.
August's 19.500.000 Increase In value or
exporta over last year xnakes for betterment
of the exchange position and shows that
the August corner in the cotton market
stimulated rather than hampered the outgo
of that commodity.
The rapid movement of grain to marltet
is expected to furnish another source of
supply to ths exchange market in the im
mediate future.
Bonds were Arm. Total sales, par value.
$2,093,000. ' United States bonds were un
