RAIN IS HOLDING HOPPICKERS BACK
Crop Not Otherwise Afferted No Demand
in Oregon Foreign Markets viuiei.
The present unsettled weather Is disquiet
ing to hopgrowers. but they fear rather for
its effect on pickers than on the crop. A
continuance of the rain, however, might bo-
come serious.
No business Is being accomplished in the
new crop. Several lots of fuggles are on
the market, but there Is a lack of bidders.
Considerable business has been done in
new baled hops In California at IS cents
and the opening in Oregon nay be at this
figure.
Yesterday's cables reported all the foreign
markets quiet and unchanged. The weather
in England was cloudy.
New York wires said the state crop
would be less than last year's and poor in
quality. The Watervllle Times says of
the condition of the New York crop:
"September 1 will find most of the grow
ers harvesting their crop. It is hard to
say Just what proportion of the crop will
be damaged by the mold, as the attack Is
so uneven. The "Coblesklll Index" gives
the estimate of about 75 per cent of the
yards In Schoharie and the Middleburgh Val
ley as affected by the mold. One grower
here who began on Monday claims his crop
is coming down In good shape. As a rule
the crop looks good, being heavy and hops
of a bright color."
DAY'S PEACH RECEIPTS ARE DELAYED.
Citrus Fruits are Firmer Sweet Potatoes
Decline to 3 Cents.
The supply of peaches on Front street
was light yesterday, owing to the late trains,
but the delayed shipments came In In time
to All shipping orders. The market was
firm and unchanged.
There 'was ah active demand tor ripe ap
ples, well colored and of good size, but too
much green stock is coming on the market.
Good pears also sold well.
Two cars ot watermelons and one of
canteloupes arrived. Both sold welL
A car of Hawaiian pineapples Is due Mon
day. Pineapples are selling now as well as
In winter, as the quality Is the finest of the
season.
Oranges were 25 cents higher In Cali
fornia. The season for valenclaa Is about
finished and as navels will be late, there will
be more or less of an Intermission this year,
which will be filled with storage fruit.
Lemons were also higher In the South. The
exchange advanced its price SO cents, and
It was hard to get cars started.
A car of .sweet potatoes was unloaded and
put on sale at 2 cents a pound.
SARDINE PACK IN MAINE IS SHORT.
Caaners are Behind 300,000 Cases Because
Herring are Scarce.
With a stock of 400.000 cases left over
from the pack of 1011. Maine sardine pack
ers find themselves facing a shortage in the
supply for next year at the end of the
present packing season. The normal park
ot sardines in that state Is about 2.000.000
cases. In 1111 tho pack went to nearly
2.500.000. Of this total 300.000 was undis
posed of when the canning season opened In
June. This caused the packers to feel that
even with a shortage of fish they would
tart shipping in the fall with a normal sup
ply. Unless there shall be an exceptionally
large run of fish during the next eight weeks
the season will end with a shortage of more
thsn 300.000 cases In the Maine pack. The
failure -of the herring to appear on the
Maine coast is proving a hardship for those
who depend upon the factories for a JJving
In the summer.
BCY1NG BOOM IN THE WOOL MARKET.
With Tariff Danger Over. Mills are Large
Purchasers.
Operations in the Boston wool market are
heavy, according to mall advices, which say:
"Although the local wool market has re
ceived additional impetus from the settle
ment , of the tariff issue temporarily, the
great Improvement In trading the past week
Is but further evidence of the upward swing
of the past fortnight and a tendency towards
a "boom" which has been forecasted. The
present market Is very strong, but there Is
danger that the strength of the situation
may be overestimated and the values go
beyond an advisable limit. Manufacturers
now feel free to go ahead and contract for
raw material requirements to meet the large
demands for fabrics.'
Poultry Cleans Up.
A moderate supply of poultry was received
yesterdsy. and cleaned up without much
trouble at the low prices now established.
Dressed meats were scarce.
Egg receipts were light and candled stock
was firm
There was no change in the dairy produce

Period of National Prosperity
Has Set In.

Business Optimism Is the Rule in
Every Part of the Country Bet
ter Employment of Labor.
Metal Prices Advance.
NEW VORK. Aug. 30. R. O. Dun Co.'s
weekly review of trade tomorrow will say:
Advices from leading cities, both East snd
West, speak of a bigger volume of trade,
larger advance orders, better employment
of labor snd a growing confidence that the
crops make the future secure.
In every part of the country business op
timism Is the rule and all other consider
ations are praetlcaly Ignored, in the convic
tion that a period of National prosperity
has set In, which only some great and im
probable calamity could stop.
The advance In the Bank ot England rale
of discount to 4H per cent Is an internation
al expression of more demand for more
money.
The Industrial Improvement Is shown by
the fact that the large Increase in Septem
ber dividends snd In the disbursements la
chiefly due to the bigger earnings of indus
trial corporations.
Bituminous coal, as usual in a period of
fndustriul expansion, is active and firm. For
eign commerce is large, but the feature now
Is In the growth of imports.
Further advances are generally expected
In Iron and steel, reflecting the prevailing
satisfactory conditions In this market. Sheet
steel is in good demand and the larger
plants are sold up to next January. Similar
conditions prevail in wire products and
prices on these have been advanced.
Railroad requirements necessitate the
placing of considerable business and a sub
stantial volume of orders for rails and other
equipment is said to be pending.

FEW COMMITMENTS MADE OVER
TRIPLE HOLIDAY.
Favorable Earnings Reports Are Is
sued by the Harriman Lines.
Gold Shipped to Canada.
NEW YORK. Aug. 30. The New York
stock market reflected today In Its almost
record-breaking Idleness the effect 01 tne
coming triple holiday, but the tone was
mainly steady. Adverse factors partly were
nullified by some additional railroad returns
or July, notably tnose OI tne narnmwn
lines. Union Pacific making a net gain of
$347,000. while Southern Pacific increased by
almost $730,000.
Another advance in certain by-products of
the copper and smelting companies was ac
cepted as further proof of excellent condi
tions obtaining In those industries.
l.earilna stocks moved narrowly, when at
all, but Canadian Pacific and Louisville A
Nashville were heavy, the former on the
spread of opposition to Its stock Issue and
the latter, presumably at disappointment of
Its shareholders over the $12,000,000 capital
Increase. Tobacco shares continued to de
cline, with heaviness in less important spe
cialties.
Another heavy gold shipment to Canada,
making a total of $2,600,000 for the week,
.HHa In lha ateadv outflow of cash from this
center, which approximates $8,000,000 since
last Friday, and makes extremely prooame
another decrease In actual reserves.
Bonds were Irregular with some pressure
on Important Issues. Total sales, par value.
$1,380,000. United States 2s advanced

WOOL-BUYING BASIS
IS
RAISED
Tendency of Prices for Rest of Year Is
. Upward.
BOSTON. Aug. 30. The Commercial Bul
letin will say tomorrow:
Trading In the Boston wool market dur
ing the past week has continued In a
healths way. although It Is Improbable that
sales involved the same amount of wool that
was sold the week preceding. Estimates
vary from 6.000,000 to 8,000.000 pounds for
the week, and Include almost all grades,
but largely territory, of which a Rhode
Island mill is said to have taken several
million pounds of staple In the last two
weeks.
Prices have been easily maintained and In
some Instances advances are reported. The
60-cent basis, on which manufacturers were
figuring recently, has been raised and deal
ers say the tendency for the rest of the
year must be upwaras.
