FOREIGN 'HOP MARKETS ARB STRONG Bean Trjlng tm repress Prices a This End. "English, market firmer, with more tn utry. Continental markets firm and ad vancing tor all qualities. Tha above cable was received from Lon don yesterday. The news was encourag ing to holders here and they are satisfied - that the effect of the foreign strength will Soon be felt on ths Pacific Coast. Tha matter rests largely with the growers of Oregon, as tha hulk of tha unsold hops of the new crop are In this state. There are a good many ordera now on the market at low prices and If the growers will not al low them to be filled the buyers will have to raise their bids. Determined efforts are being made In soma quarters to depress the market and get It back to the 25-cent level If possible. One method of the bears Is to circulate false reports as to the quality of the Ore gon and Washington hopa Wires received yesterday from Eastern dealers stated that they had been advised by certain Coast firms that the quality of the crop had been damaged by rain and wind. This Is un true, as It is known by everyone In the Kerthwest that the quality of tbe crop this year Is much better than usual. Some ex perienced hopmen declare that the quality sraa never better than this year. The East ern buyers, however, say they will wait Until they see samples, but in the mean time the bearish Influences wil be at work and every attempt made to check the de mand.

The advances have been chiefly due to the sensational strength of the European markets and unfavorable ports from the European beet crop, although Cuban crop prospects are also said to be under the average.

URGE FLOUR ORDERS TEX THOUSAXD TON'S BOOKED FOR SHTPStEXT FROM SOUND. Wheat Market Strong and Millers Paying; Higher Prices Grain. Bag Quotation Lifted. SEATTLE. Wash., Sept. 1. (Special.) There Is authority for the statement that orders for no less than 10,000 tons of flour have been booked for shipment to Shanghai and Tientsin during September and Octo ber, and that practically all the available space on vessels operating to those ports has been taken. The demand from South ern China is also good. Recent floods are said to be partially responsible for the heavy demand for flour. Japanese millers have reoently contracted for oloee to 100,000 bushels of wheat for shipment from Puget Sound, and the end of the movement Is not yet In sight. An advance of 20 cents per barrel on export flour went Into etfeot this morning. The base price of export flour is now $8.80. The local wheat market was very strong. Millers had to pay 88 cents for bluestem and (83 cents for club. The price of 1913 grain bags was lifted to $6.S0. The first carload of New Jersey sweet potatoes of the season reached Western ave nue last night and was distributed this morning at $4.50 per barrel. White potatoes were easier. Dealers were able to buy good stock on track as low as $28.50. Peaches were steady. The rush appears to be over. The top price, however, today was 80 cents. Cantaloupes were In good de mand. Pears ware still a drug on the mar ket. Two carloads were on track. One of the cars was to have been sent to Vic toria, but were diverted to thie market The top price was $1. Demand for butter, eggs, cheese and poul try was fair. Recent activities of the health department In forcing butchers to keep their markets sanitary has curtailed the demand for live poultry somewhat, but increased the de mand for dressed stock.

After a week of al a.. -.-.. ...ncjis. in which stocks won back a part"of the heavy losses of the An- gust decline, the market suaaeniy its position today. Prices went tumbling downward until a large proportion of tne recent gains had been eliminated. Some stocks, including Baltimore Ohio and Mis souri Pacific, fell to. the lowest points of the year. Such prominent Issues as Atch' Ison. Caradian Pacifio. Lehigh Valley, Northern Pacific Reading and Union Pa cific fell back two or more points, unitea States Steel lost 14.' Its heaviest decline for soms time. This rapid- shifting of post tlcn seemed to be mystifying to the traders. The market opened irregular, with a pre ponderance of small losses. During the morning traci ng was' unusually listless ana chances were smalL In the afternoon aeu lng became more active, culminating in a vigorous attack on the list. Stocks of the Hawley roads moved against the market. Iowa central common jjr- fArrMl tnal-ln esrjeciallv B-Ood SainS. The movement was due to announcement of ths expected leasing of the road to tne juin n.aniiTiii Jk At. l.nuta as a nart of a plan for a new route from Canada to the Gulf of Mexico-. The marked weakness of ths Gould stocks was explained as being due to fore-knowledge of the character of Missouri Pacific's forthcoming annual report. Several Western roads announoed the re sult 1 of their July operations, and In some eaaea abrupt decreases in earnings were dis closed. The combined net returns of 43 railroads in July showed a small increase, amountlna to slightly over 2 per cent. Bonds were heavy. Total sales, par value. $2,028,000.
