PACKERS HAVE WITHDRAWN Decline to Sell at the Opening Prices Pack- Is One Million. Cases Less Than Last Year's. Kice Prices High. The most Interesting feature of the canoed goods market Just now la the atrencth of pink salmon. Some of the packer have withdrawn their stocks from : the market and decline to sell at the op- entng- prices. The pack is 1,000.000 cases ' less thsn last rear's and the packers feel that the market will clean up and that the : man who holds will get a better price later. There was m large pack of red. salmon, bat the price Is reasonable, being 20 cents less than last Tear's, and the fish Is going Into consumption fast. The Columbia River pack, which is short, is completely sold up and packers are mak ing 40 to 60 per cent deliveries. The rice market In the South has opened this year 75 cents a barrel higher on rough rice than last year. The opening In 1911 was 13.25 and the price later advanced to 4.23. This year the market has opened at 4 and since the opening has been very ttnxu Louisiana rice Is on the market In plen tiful supply and Texas rice Is coming on the market now. The Texas mills are hold ing. If anything, stronger than the Louisi ana mills. f-CENT ADVANCE IN XBW YORK HOPS Bids of 87 Cents Are Sow Being -Made in - That State So Loral Mies. No business was reported in the local hop market yesterday and so far as could be learned no bids were made. ' A good many growers are now seeking to get in touch with buyers, which would seem to promise a large and early selling movement. A California wire reported the sale of 318 bales of prime Sonumas at 18 cents. A New York wire announced that bids In - that state had been raised to 27 cents, but growers are holding for 30 cents. The Continental markets again Improved. An nual circulars received from two London hop firms comment on the future prospects of the market as follows: 'Considering what the hops have had to put up with, they are looking better than could have been expected. In addition to excessive rains and low temperature, a very severe attack of aphis blight was defeated only by persistent washing. "It Is our oplnlon-xhat the quality of the English growth, with fine weather now, will be distinctly good, although the quan tity will average less per acre than that of last year. We should Estimate that the pro duction cannot exceed '300.000 cwt, or half our annual consumption, but should unfa vorable weather continue this estimate will have to be seriously reduced. Stocks here are nearly exhausted, and the demand, as soon as the hops are on the market, must be great." W. H. & H. Le May. "The English crop, provided that good weather prevails until the end of the plck iug, promises to be of very good quality and of about equal quantity to that of last year. Stocks of all kinds are exceedingly small and brewers' requirements are increas ing on account of advancing consumption of beer. It Is evident that trade must be good, and this crop should meet a good demand and-- bring --remunerative prices, thus en abling growers to recoup the very heavy expenses Incurred la- Its production under adverse conditions. From the Continent there is an expectation of a crop above the Average, but as harvesting Is being done In very - Inclement weather the quality . and color must therefore be affected. As prices ruled very high there last season, theu- brewers will no doubt avail themselves of the opportunity 'to buy sufficient for their current needs and also enough to form a reserve for the future. In America the crop is reported to be larger than last year, ' but the quality must be deteriorated by re cent serious attacks of vermin and by un favorable weather. .With a great Increase In population In the States and In Canada their consumption of beer Is larger and must reduce the quantity of hops available for exportation." J. H. Matthews. TALL CLIP MOHAIR 13 ADVANCING Growers In Texas Are Now Asking 34 Cents and Withdraw First Quotations. Domestic mohair values are showing an . upward tendency. Fall Texas hair is evi dently In good demand, says the New York Journal of Commerce, for the reports re ceived from that state are to the effect that growers are declining to entertain propositions that are not up to their Ideas of what the fibre should bring. The con sumption of mohair promises to be unus ually good during the next six months. Manufacturers are showing a wider range of -mohair fabrics than In past seasons, and as the demand has been encouraging the outlook for mohair fabrics Is considered promising. a The opening quotation on Texas Fall mo hair was 33c a pound. Bids of 32c a pound were refused this week. and. within a day or two growers telegraphed that the first quotation had been withdrawn and that the ruling price was 34c. CAR YAKIMA PEACHES Dl'E TODAY Stocks on the Street Are Small and Prices Are .Firm. A few shipments of Salway peaches ar rived from The Dalles yesterday and sold at 40 cents. Stairs brought from 40 to 00 ; cents, according to quality. A car of Yakima Klbertas Is du today. j The grape market is firm In California, but the tone of the local market Is rather easy, as a good many of the offerings were of poor quality, owing to the late rains in the South. Local prices ranged from 00 cents to $1.15 per crate. Concords sold at 17H 20 cents. . Other kinds of fruit were In fair demand and unchanged in price. DEALERS PAYING BO CENTS FOR CLCB Quote Export Value at 78079 Cents, but Buying For More. Trading in the wheat market continues on a rather light scale. Local dealers are trying to buy club In the country at 78 to 79 cents, which represents export ' values, but at the same time some of them are pay ing 80 "cents. Barley Is quoted steady at unchanged prices, with a good demand for both feed and brewing. The undertone of the oats' market is easy. w Local receipts.

COMMON ALSO ADVANCES General Market Is Irregular With Early Gains Which Are Afterward Lost Money Firm but With Lighter Demand. "NEW YORK. Sept. 1. The stock market opened with another upward swing today, but .much of the advance was lost by mid day, when the movement became sluggish and irregular, except in a few specialties, among wblch American Can common and preferred were 'especially prominent for new high records. The preferred registered a maximum gain of five points, with about half as much for the common. As a whole, operations were even more professional than usual. Surface conditions indicated that the more substantial Inter ests are still opposed to anything like a concerted or ' comprehensive . rise until the political and financial sltuatiosj emerge from their present uncertainty. . Demand for money was light, but rates for all dates held firm. Local banks re ported a better inquiry for commercial paper. Outflow of money for the week has again assumed very large proportions. General news of the day Included an In crease In coal, rates at Pittsburg and uncon firmed rumors that Middle Western jobbers had advanced finished steel products $3 per ton. A firmer tone was shown by London dis counts. The most noteworthy feature of the Bank of England's statement was Its $2,600,000 loss of gold. ' Boqds were irregular, with a broader de mand..

CLOSE IS FRACTION LOWER Foreign Markets Indifferent to vhe Recent Strength on This. Side, and Prices Are Uncertain - . From - the Start, CHICAGO. Sept. 19. Although speculative Interest today centered in corn, efforts to hoist the price of that cereal proved only partly .successful. The close was irregular, varying from half a cent off to a like amount up. Wheat finished c to c down. Bulls in corn acted chiefly on statements from an expert in Nebraska that ylelas there . were disappointing, as well as in the Southwest. - Liberal buying of December and May. corn on the part of a. leading firm lifted - the market- sharply after an early show, of weakness, due to the nonappear ance of predicted frost. A falling off In Argentine shipments helped the upturn. Indifferent response which cables made to strength on this side fumed the wheat mar ket downward. A backset in corn prices counted, too, against the bulla The open ing was unchanged to c lower. . De cember started at 91c to 91c, the same as last night to c down, and fell to 91c Subsequently the wheat market rallied in consequence of an advance In corn. The clone was steady, but c n,et lower for December, at 91 81 c , Oats closed ranging from a shade loss to c advance. Provisions closed- unchanged to a rise of 12 c. Futures ranged as follows: WHEAT.
