SMALL YARDS COMPLETED Surprising Yield Reported From Many Parts of the Valley Re cent Buying or FugglcsEuro ' pean Markets Are Firm. Two-thlrtis of the Oregon hop crop has been picked. The work in nearly all the small yard has been completed and the large growers are taking advantage of the fine weather to man the harvest, saraplea are coming forward more plentifully and exhibit a mixture of quality. If all the hopa grown in Oregon this year were eaved the state would, beyond ques tion, have a crop of 125.000 bales. As it stsnds the output may run between 105,000 and 115,000 bales. Excellent and surprising yields are reported from a great many Tarda, of which the following are but a few Instances: ' On the John Murray yard at Buttevllle 3000 boxes have been picked. This yard last year produced 52 bales on the same acreage. .' The various Horst yards will come down with about 4500 bales, against 2SI00 bales grown last year. The McLoughlln yard at Independence In 1911 had 1150 bales and will this year turn off double that quantity. The Wlgrlch. formerly the Krebs. yard. at Independence, had 1S00 bales last year and this season a minimum of 2000 bales will be gathered there. The Ranxau yard at Dundee will go 3500 pounds to the acre on 14 acres. This Is probably the best yield per acre in the state. Another record crop is on the A. J. Kay ranch at Newberg. where the baby hops are coming down 1000 pounds to the acre. Old time hop men say this Is the best showing ever made with a first crop in Oregon. Rays Molson yard, which had 60.000 pounds last year, will this year have 120.000 pound or more and his Witchhazel yard will also go heavier than last year. The 90-acre Bagley yard at Hillsboro will yield a ton to the acre, and every pound wUl be picked. The Lilllgard ranch at Laurel turned off 25 bales in 1911 and this year will have between 50 and 60 balsa. Other Laurel yards are doing as well. No business In baled clusters has been put through yet, but a number of lots of fug gleg have been bought up In ihe past fe days. Three hundred bales were taken the Eugene section at prices ranging up to 19 cents. The top price was. paid for the Hammett lot of 9i bales. This Is the finest lot of fuggles seen in Oregon in years. Yesterday cables reported the continental markets firmer with the quality poor. New York wires noted buying at 25 cents, with picking completed and not over 20.000 - bales produced. . The New York State mar ket was steadier. Low offers to brewers have been withdrawn. Beer sales in the United States for the month of July, 1912, were 7,143,395 barrels, which compares with 6.644.S02 barrels for July, 1911. an increase of 408,593 barrels, The August sales will probably show a de crease, but hop men look for an Increase again this month, because of the hot weather. Nothing would help the hop mar ket's opening more than a warm September and October In the United States. BIG HAY DEAL REPORTED IN YAKIMA California Buyers Corner the Supply of Wheat Hay That Seattle Needs. Receipts of hay this week have been very light, only 22 cars having come forward. The smallness. of the arrivals is attributed to the poor condition of country roads, due to the recent storms. The market at present Is quite steady with a fairly good demand, especially for -timothy. No. 1 timothy was quoted on spot yesterday at $17. but dealers look for the price to drop to S14.SO or S15 when the movement becomes freer. Alfalfa Is held at 112.50 to 13 and the prospects re It will advance when the demand- be comes more general, as so much of the crop , was damaged that the feeding requirements In the country will be larger. It Is reported that California dealers have bought up all the wheat hay available in the territory tributary to Seattle. Their purchases In the Yakima country are placed at 5000 tons. The activity of the Southern buyers took the Seattle dealers by surprise, and they have been forced to bid up prices In. an endeavor to cover their own wants. The wheat market was quiet, with no change in prices. Brewing barley was held firmly, but feed barley was barely steady. Farmers are offering oats more freely on the better weather and futures are obtain ' able at 126.50 and it Is said even tt $26. The flour market was steady on patents, with no Immediate likelihood of a reduc tion from the current price of S4.40. The undertone of the mill feed market was easier. Local receipts. In cars, were reported by the Merchants' Exchange, as follows: Wheat Barley Flour Oats Hay Monday 40 5 12 3 3 Tuesday 2S9 .12 8 6 S Wednesday .... S1 10 5 6 7 Thursday 21 22 4 - 4 4 Year ago ST 5 8 S Season to date. 2303 249 412 146 33T Year ago 152 U5 515 219 508 STATISTICAL POSITION OF WOOL Deaden' Stocks Are Very Small and Country Is Almost Bare. Many dealers are sold ahead for two to three months and In not a few cases those who have had the wool to offer are sold out for the season on a number of different grades. Seldom, perhaps never, have the Boston dealers owned so little wool on the first day of September as they have this year, says the Commercial Bulletin. Indeed, one large operator estimates that nearly 75 per cent of the clip purchased by Boston houses this year has been disposed of al ready. Coupled with this situation is the further fact that rarely or never at so early a point in the season has the country been so thor oughly denuded of wool. Buyers closely in touch with the fleece wool section say that In Ohio and Michigan together. probably -leas than 1.500.0UO pounds remains unsold. As for the territory section, one of the best known buyers states that ho never saw the Western states so thoroughly cleaned up as they are this year. The strength of the statistical situation will thus be at once manifest. One very significant feature of the mar ket lies in the fact thst the big factors, al though almost all of them have been steady and large buyers consider wool a good prop erty to own, even at current values. FCACHKS SEI.LINOAT LOW PRICES Bulk of Sales Are at 40 Cents a Box Fruit Market Is Quiet. The fruit trade was quiet yesterday be cause of the Jewish holiday, stocks of all kinds were large. Peaches moved better than earlier in the week, the low prices having revived the demand. Prices ranged from SO to 50 cents, the bulk of sales being at 40 cents. The supply of peaches will continue heavy throughout next week. The grape market was slow, as the abun dance of peaches Interfered with their sale, casabas were In better demand and canta loupes sold well, but there was not much movement In watermelons, the' melon season being over, regardless of the temperature. The vegetable market generally was steady. Oood tomatoes sold at 40Q50 cents and were scarce. Poultry Market Steady. A moderate supply of oouitry came In yesterday and. was moved without "trouble at unchanged prices. The egg market was lightly supplied and very firm with the best stock bringing 30 cents. Butter and cheese were firm and unchanged-Decline b Linseed Oil. . A 4-cent decline in linseed oil was an nounced yesterday. Boiled oil is quotable at S2 cents in cases and 7T cents In barrels.

UNDERTONE IS HALTING Market Governed Entirely by Mone tary Considerations Banks Fac . ing a Deficit In Their Legal Re serves Bonds Are Heavy. NEW YORK, Sept. 12. The stock market today was governed almost entirely toy monetary considerations. Call loans opened at 5i per cent, after considerable delay, rater advancing " to yesterday's and the year's high rate of 014 per cent, while stocks declined.- In the last hour a large part of the early loss was recovered. Indeed, some slight net gains were established, but the undertone of the list continued somewhat halting. The drain of money to the sub-treasury and Interior points continued and the local banks called loans very generally. To date, home institutions have lost over $5,000,000, which threatens a large deficit in next Sat urday's reserves. Dealings In stocks were less than yester day, but there was a further movement in some of the higher-priced specialties, also a belated demand for Colorado Fuel, which rose smartly in the final dealings on fairly large transactions. One of the day's developments was the Institution of receivership proceedings against the United States Motors Company, whose securities have suffered steady de clines on the curb. London's average for our stocks was de cidedly higher than that recorded at the opening here. The bond market was heavy,, with weak ness In some of the convertible issues. To tal sales, par value, amounted to $1,620,000. United States Government bonds were un changed on call. CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS. Closing Bales. ' High. Low. Blci.

Sent. 12. Heaw receipt. Southwest and Northweet today pressed the wheat market down. Closing prices were nervous. Total nrlmarv arrivals of wheat for tne day reached nearly double the amount for the corresponding time a year ago. in tne Southwest a large proportion of the receipts had to be carried over till tomorrow, being far In excess of the demand. The fact that expert business was shut off on ac count of nrohibitorv ocean freight rates caused holders to become discouraged. High er opening figures due to an advance at Liverpool were promptly taKen aavamago of. and speculative selling grew general. Weakness of corn In the end was a material factor In depressing prices.

MAYOR DALE BOASTED HARRISBT7KG CITIZEXS ASK GOVERX'OR TO EVTERVEXE. Petition Alleges City Officials Are Given to Patronizing Blind Pigs and Resorts. SALEM. Or., Sept. 12. (Special.) Charging that Mayor Dale, who has been given the credit of cleaning up Harrisburg, is a patronizer Df the blind pigs himself, and that Councllmen also patronize them and liave been drunk in them, the following petition has been sent from Harrisburg to Governor West signed by 16 citizens: "We. the undersigned citizens of Har risburg. Linn County, Oregon, beg leave to submit the following facts for your consideration: "D. C. Holt, School Clerk of District 42, Harrisburg, Or., is a partner with Damon Smith, ex-Treasurer of our countv. in the drug business, and has been convicted in the Justice Court of Linn County some time ago for sell ing liauor unlawfully and has conduct ed the drugstore for some time alone during the heavy illegal liquor selling time here, and we therefore consider him an unfit person to hold a public trust. "Dr. W. H. Dale, who has been get ting considerable notoriety for clean lnir tin our city, is certainly not en titled to any credit, as he has done absolutely nothing towards tnat end, only to contribute to the lawlessness which has been going on here, and has patronized the blind pigs here and en couraged them. He claimed to be the brains for that element and has made his boast to that effect. The lawless ness in our city has been much greater during Dr. Dale's administration than ever before and he, being in harmony with the 'booze' element, we consider him an unfit person to be Mayor of our city. His appointments in the Council to fill vacancies nave oeeo men of his caliber. "A number of the Councilmen patron ize blind pigs and have been seen drunk in them, and our entire Council is in harmony jvith the 'booze' element. Any assistance we can get towards cleaning up our city ana wi""s nr,itirnisrwiii be srreatlv appreciated." The Governor has also notified offi cials of Silverton to get busy with conditions there, that no new ordi nances are necessary and that they can act under the state laws.- The resigna tion of Marshal Davis, or wranon, ne has decided to leave in the hands of the Mayor and City Council for them to pass upon ' 'Tjong Auto Trip Completed. .ttwv Or xSerjt 12.
