LARGE SHORT INTEREST On-con Hop Market Still la Blocked Condition, but Activity rrrtalls In California. Grain I Poll. I; sm to b th polity of K"torn kui'r to bar ths market fr Oregon pracea. according to the Nsw Torn Journal of Commtrrt, hlch says: "According to enrrrnt report a porslatamt effort Is belrg mad to wwkn tba market or Oregon Italian prunes. It has met with little ocreas wo far and statement made by aathorities on the coast Indicate that It tu doonl to fall. Late lat week the sale of a stralzht car of 3t-4us Oregon Italian was made from dock here and the Mtn ot busy circulating reports that the aveller had accepted . which was fully a cent under the general market quotation for that else. It now appears from statements made br parties to the transaction that tha goods wore originally ouered to a number of buy erse at c New Tors, without sals and that eventually the eeller was Induced to accept IHc or half a cent mors than the price talked of on tho street Saturday. The re port that the fruit was supposed to have sld at "e. as stated In the original report of tho transaction. Is proved to have been entirely without a arrant. There Is a large short Interest, It I said, particularly among certain East Hide buyers, who are looking (or lower prices, having failed to naka esrly contracts. On the spot Oregon ItaliuAs are scarce and ths market Is (:rm. Or MARKET IV A WAITINO ATTTTVDE Ma .vajrs Krpwrtral In (rrvapaa Bears Aro at Work. The hop market is In a waiting attitude. Everyone is Batching Ucbmund and won dertrg what fcls nest move will be. Unless be buys more hops at 1.1 nl or someone else d'es. the price Is likely to slip back sheer It was lat week. This Is whst most of' the deslers sis waiting for. They have ptenty of orders at loser prices and for t'jo sake of making conwr.Il"RS sre trying to gel the market down so they ran buy. Some oven go so far as to predict that bops will be selling In a few dais ehesper than they wer.- two weeks (. tut they do not take Paul Hurst's a't'tud snd ability as a man ipulator Into on.ld ratios, lie Is certainly nrt ihrossh with ths game yet and may. before lnx. five trie trade another surprise. It In to t hfped. ,rr the welfare of the bp;ners of Orrgnn, that llorst will get -t!u ir to a high leel before all the crop ts vut or ir-.t hacda The bulk of tbe crop has l-rn moetl entirely too low. consider ing Us superior quality. The growers wers to b'ame f.r ibis snd they lost the stats hundreds of thousand of dollars of outside money by tSroalng away an opportunity Ihey may nt l ave again for years. They sre firm enongh now. but some of the deal er ar trvins to weskn then satn. A very atie market In California was reported t SoulTiern wires yesterday. Pales la Sonoma ar..l Mmdoclno agcregated SOO bole, the pr'-e hulling at II to 12j rents. The Irnutry as strong snd the growers ITured silling to sell. Roeeawsld was atnnn- the havers. The WatervlCe TIm. of October 21. says of the New Tork market: This has ben an ertremely active week In the hop market. At present sll deslers ars buyers and from 10OO to lio bais have been purchased during the week. Sales of low to medium grades have taken place at from 17 ij to la rents, and of the better grades from to 21 rents, with 51 H cents paid for a large choice lou Ths scarce ness of litis Istter quality makes them In even greater demand than they were before the larre number of sales reported had taken place. MARKET KHOWS ITBAsB TatTTDEXCY. Fancy Orrgai Kuseh Lggs SeUIng at 3 few! a Pool try Hnpply Large. Fresh tVrecon egra wers quoted up to 3S cents yesterday and the market was strong at that price. The supply was far below local "requirements. Stocks of Eastern eggs were sufficiently large snd they were quoted steady at ZOtt cents. The egg market all around has an upward tendency. Receipts of poultry continue fairly large, but there ts a good demand, especially fcr hens, which clean op at full prices. Buyers are not so anxious for Springs and as these comprise a large part of ths receipts, they ars foroed to move at considerably lower prices thsn hens Other kinds of poultry are steady. Receipts of pork yesterdsy were larger thsn usual and fancy aUcs ware otfered half a cent lower at 12 ' cents. Veal waa Orra at 13 cents fur ths best. There have been no changes recently In the butter or cheese markets. Both are ac tive and moderate); firm. ONLY SMALL LOTS OF WHEAT MOVE Neither iloj sra Nor Sellers Are Anxious to (rpe-rsie Freely. Very little business is under way In ths wheat market. The dealers report a few purchases of small lots at current prices, but acknowledge tbst It they Undertook to buy hcaiily they would have to pay more. At the sams time. If large lots wsrs offered taey could only be moved at concessions. The coarse grains wers dull.

I.ightrninK of Money Rates Has a Depressing Effect on cSe curity Values. NEW TORK. Oct. 28. Tbe waning In fluence of some of the factors which have been relied on to lift and hold the prices of stocks became evident In today's mar ket. The growing firmness of the money msrket made a more positive force on the side of depression. . Tbe technical position was In favor of the party of reaction, as a result of the accumulation of stocks In the course of the sdvaace with uo other purpose than to resell at a profit. Such selling was heavy at times, but closing prices were above the lowest. Hubtreasury operations took another large sum from the banks, bringing the total for the banking week to 84.190.000. A credit balance for the Government Institution at the Clearing-House pointed to another large addition to the week'a withdrawals tomor row. The Interior demand for currency has ex panded again unexpectedly this week. This meets the necessity for preparations for No vember 1 settlements, which Include the ma turity of large obligations In London. The stiffening of the call money rate yes terday and today Is looked upon, therefore, ss a mere preliminary to even higher rates next week. It is suspected that the rise In the discount rate in London Is having the effect of Inducing transfer of Canadian bank balances, which are large In New York, to the London market. The fall In Brltlah consols to T8i marked so rapid a decline in tbst security as to demoralise Investment laues, Iiond were stendy. Total sales, par value, II. 574. 000.

GET BEST PRICES Results Attained by Fruit Ex change System. FIND HIGHEST MARKETS Sales of Apples Made by Northwest ern Fruit Exchange Average Well Above Those Made by Individual Shippers. The daily market bulletin of the North western Fruit Exchange, 908-912 Spaldlns building-, follows: The market todsy is decidedly more ac tive, bat shows no advance. In fact, the Ideas of the buyers are considerably lower than oar own, and In order to put the fruit Into consumption, compromise values must be reached. Jonathans continue to be neg lected. The best trade seem to have cov ered their requirement pretty thoroughly in this variety, and the demand is centering strongly In Wlnesapa and hard Winter stor age varieties. Remembering that the freight and refrig eration charge to most Eastern markets averes about 60 cents per bos, we invite fruitgrowers everywhere to make a thought ful comparison of what va are asking and receiving for fruit f. o. h. and prices at which similar fruit shipped, however, by growers and shippers outside of this ex change, is selling delivered In the Eastern markets. For this comparison we give here under prices realized yesterday in the open market. These prices do not refer In aay vay to the operations of this exchange: Philadelphia: Sold 5 cars.

We have been trying for two weeks to find a buyer willing to take Stayman Wlnesaps at 1.7.Vbut lt has been Impossi ble: the trade simply will not take them at this price. This variety ts not popular In all markets, and there has been some com plaint from certain districts as to the car rying quality of the fruit. On tho other hand the variety is very popular with the trade In other markets, which necessitates careful discrimination In the selection of the niarkets to be worked. We have sold car G.

(Special.) At ,a preliminary hearing: before Judge Reider in Justice Court, Alfred Johnson, the Seattle, Portland. & Spokane Rail way fireman, accused of killing- an un known man here last Saturday, was ac quitted. The charge preferred against him was manslaughter. Prosecuting Attorney Gould alleged that Johnson had struck the man, caus ing him to fall, his head striking the cement wilk, resulting in his death. At torney Nolan, for the defense, con tended Johnson had done no unlawful act in protecting himself from the un known man. In deciding, Judge Reider said: "Inasmuch as the man was intoxicat ed, the defendant had a perfect right to protect himself and acted the same as I myself, or nearly any other man would have done. As the man by be ing intoxicated contributed to his own death and as there was no malicious intent on the part of tha defendant, there is no case against the defendant. Alfred Johnson, you are discharged." STOLEN AUTO IS WRECKED Car Found Smashed Against Fence, Female Apparel Is Clew. WALLA WALLA, Wash., Oct. 26 (Spe cial.) Unknown joy-riders last night af ter 11 o'clock stole the automobile be longing to Harry Abbott from the garage of A. I Taylor, and the machine was found early this morning backed up against a fence a mile and a half from town, broken down. A beer bottle and one or two small articles of woman's wearing apparel were the otrly evidences of the midnight carousal.

TACOMA RECOUNT LIKELY Director Concedes Many Were Ab sent When Second Count Made. WASHINGTON, Oct. 26. Census Di rector Durand, after listening to pro tests made by a committee representing Tacoma, Wash., against the Bureau's population figures for that city, said he would not be surprised If a recount were ordered. Secretary Nagel, of the Department of Commerce and Labor, and Director Durand received the com mittee from Tacoma, which came here to protest against the charges that the Tacoma census, as taken originally by the Government enumerators, was largely padded. As the result of dis closures concerning the manner of tak ing the Tacoma census. Washington of ficials of the Bureau ordered an inves tigation In September, with a conse quent reduction in the aggregate popu lation figures of that city. The meeting today was merely prelim inary and the only result was an agree ment to proceed with the inquiry tomor $500,000 r: n. S. Howard, Jr., Ass't Cashier. ' J. W.

The committee made certain repre sentations that the September count was inaccurate and unfair and asked that, ii necessary, a third count be made. Secre tary Nagel said that he had no doubl that the original returns from the April count had been padded, but he conceded the probability that many of the citi zens were absent when the Censuf Bureau made its second count in Sep tember. At tomorrow's meeting, the census returns will be gone into thoroughly. The committee is composed of Wil liam Jones, T. C. Ripley, T. L. Stiles, Allen C. Mason and A. L. Sommers.
