CROP TWO-THIRDS
Fast Work Is Being Made With
the Hop Harvest.
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:

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.

GAINS NEAR GLOSE
Stocks Recover Large Part of
the Early Loss. .
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 IS NERVOUS
Primary Arrivals Double Those for

port Business Checked by
. 'Advance in Freights.
CHICAGO. 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.
Corn closed at a decline of o to
2c.

Provisions closed less expensive by S to

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 '
