NO CHANGE IN EXPORTS Domestic Grade Is Now lower Than It Has Been for Several Years. . Follow Downward Course of Wheat. A reduction of SO cents a barrel on patent flour wai announced yesterday to take effect thla morning. Quotation! on other grades are not changed. The decline in the price of patents la the result of the weaker ten dency and lower prices prevailing In the wheat market. At $4.20, the new quotation for patents, flour Is cheaper than it was any time last year, or, in fact, for several years. . The course of the local patent flour mar ket for the past four years is shown by the following list of changes, and the dates on which they occurred: September 18. 108 H-7 October 8. 1908 4.80 January 6. 1909 5 00 January 13. 109 5-25 February 12. 1808 5.45 March 3. 1909 8 65 April 15, 1909 6.03 May 15. 1909 6.25 Hentemher 10. 1909 5.10 November 17. 1909 5.70 November 23. 1909 6.00 December 11. 1909 January 4. 1910 January 25. 1910 March 17, 1910 April 21. 1910 Juna 23, 1910 July 23. 1910 October 29. 1910 February 16. 1911 March 3, 1911 April 21, 1911 September 12. 1911 April 11. 1912 April 18. 1912 August 31, 1912 September 21, 1912 6.15 6.33 6.13 S.75 5.75 3.15 .... 5.35 5.15 4.95 4.75 .... 4.95 .... 4.50 4.70 5.10 .... 4.40 4.20 The feeling in the wheat market yester day was inclined to be weak. Buyers quot- ed 79 cents as the outside price on club and were not keen to take hold, even at a cent less. Tonnage is scarce and this keeps buying operations at a minimum. More dis position to sell Is being shown by farmers. The barley and oats markets were quiet .and unchanged in price. Weekly foreign wheat shipments were as follows: This week. Last week. Last year. Argentine ..1.120.000 1.175.000 SfiSt.OOO Australia ... 200.000 56S.0O0 890 000 India 1.7S4.00O L64S.000 552.000 Local receipts, in cars, were reported by the Merchants" Exchange aa follows: Wheat Barley Flour Oats Hay Monday 114 41 9 3 18 Tuesday 145 22 10 20 8 Wednesday l' 12 " J Thursday 30 8 6 3 1 Friday 88 8 ' 5 4 Year ago 49 5 10 H 13 Season to date.3031 579 4.14 194 403 Year ago 2146 124 594 2.8 682 WASHINGTON HOP CROP 40,000 BALES Tleld la Heavier Than Was Expected For eign Markets Finn. The Washington hop crop is coming down much heavier than expected. Many of the yards In Western Washington are yield ing 75 to 100 per cent more than last year. Hopmen who have been estimating the crop of that state lately at 33.000 bales have now raised their estimates to 40,000, and It i likely that even thla figure may be exceeded. There has been no change re cently In the Oregon estimates, which run up to 115,000 bales. No rales were reported in any of the Coast markets yesterday. Buyers are hold ing back until quality can be more clearly determined. The undertone of the mar ket la firm. The English and Continental cables re ceived yesterday reported the foreign mar kets quiet, but Arm, at unchanged prices. English growers are unwilling sellers at current valuations. London hop dealers" trade circulars re ceived by mall say in part: Wild. Neame Co. A few small parcels of the new crop have reached our market, showing quality quite up to the average of first pickings, but at this early period the demand Is somewhat restricted. The sit uation In the plantations Is still uncertain and dependent to a great extent on the weather conditions of the next two or three weeks; hops have developed considerably during the last ten days, but where picking has commenced it is found the yield is short of expectations. Manger A Henley There Is no change to report In our market. Prices are very firm for the few remaining 1911a Picking has already started and will be general to wards the end of the week. W. H. & H. LeMay The market continues exceedingly strong for the few remaining 1911 hops, the exceedingly good quality of which makes them very desirable stock. The picking of the new crop will be gen eral this week. CHEESE WILL BE ADVANCED MONDAY Loral Prices Will bT Quoted Halt a Cent Higher en All cHzea. The price of Tillamook cheese will be ad vanced half a cent on all sises Monday morning. There Is a large demand from California and also good buying on' the part of the north. Local stocks are kept closely sold up. The butter market is steady, with the supply and demand about equal. Eggs continue scarce and very Arm at 3u cents for the best candled stock. The poultry market was steady, with moderate receipts. Hena sold well at 14 615 cents, but there was less demand for Springs and 14 tj cents was the top. There was some call for ducks at 12 cents. Tur keys were not wanted. More liberal receipts of both veal anil pork have caused some weakness in these lines. Top quotations yesterday were 1414 cents on veal and 11 H cents on pork. PEACHES SELL QriCKXY ON ARRIVAL Car of Yakima Elbertaa la Disposed of Early at B0 Cents. A car of Yakima Elberta peaches was received yesterday morning and was sold out la short order at 50 cents.

Business in Excess of All but Best of Previous Years. NEW YORK. Sept. 20. Bradstreeta to morrow will say: All in all. business, despite this or that Irregularity, Is certainly in excess of all but the best of previous years, and the fact that there is no disposition to rush things indicates healthy conservatism that tends to make the absence of speculation con spicuous. This situation augurs well for a steady trade ratner tnan zitiui outoursts of activity. Marked activity Is still In evidence throughout the West, Southwest and North west, the last named section being prob ably more favorably circumstanced in a relative sense than any other part of the country. . In the dry goods line duplicate orders from Jobbers going to mill agents are large in tbe aggregate, but small in the individ ual case. Industrial activity continues and labor is scarce. Business failures in the United States for the week ending September Is were 279, against 234 last week, 236 in the like week of 1911. 190 in 1910, 171 in 1909 and 267 in 1908. Business failures in Canada for the week number 17. as compared with 28 last week and 28 in the corresponding week of 1911.

ALL STOCKS MAKE GAINS Wall Street Market Shows More Activity, Strength and Breadth .-Than Xor Months Past. Bonds Are Also Firm. NEW YORK. Sept. 20.: Greater activity, breadth and strength attended today's op eration on the stock exchange than any session in several months. The business of the first two hours was on a scale of the old-time "million share" days, but the movement lost some of Its force in the afternoon on heavy profit-taking and exten sive short covering. Taklna the day's best prices as a basis. the average level waa almost the highest of the year. In fact two speculative ia vorttes United States Steel and Amalgam ated Copper recorded their best quotations since 191L steel resumea its tormer leaaer shlp in point of activity, being heavily bought in round lota of 2000, 8000 and 4000 shares. Reading rivalled Steel, with a rise of three points. Amalgamated was the next most active issue, so-called Standard Oil Drokers Doing the nrinclDal Durchasers. Concurrent actlv- ity in Anaconda, which is controlled by Amalgamated, served as a reminder that the quarterly meetings of these companies are not far off. - Other copper shares were strong and later in the day the movement took in the Independent steel stocks ana almost two score issues of varied character. Aside from Reading and Lehigh Valley, the railroad group did not participate to any great extent in the day's . movements, although Harriman and Hill stocks were up 1 to 1ft points, with lesser gains In Rock Island, St. Paul and New York Cen tral. London sold on our rise, according to reports, some 15.000 shares of steel. Am algamated CoDDer and Union Pacific Bonds were firm but the market was less broad than in stocks. Total sales, par value. were (2,245.000. United States Government bonds were unchanged on call. CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS. Closing Sales. High. Low. Bid.

Receipts Continue i to Be Heavy Cattle and Sheep Are Quiet and Firm. Heavy receipt of hogs continue to be the feature of the local market, and a steady weakening of prices Is the natural result Nine cars of hogs were unloaded yesterday, four of them coming from California, two from Idaho and the remainder from Oregon points. The supply of cattle and sheep was limited. These lines were firm. The best price obtainable on hoge was (8.69. at which figure three loads were dis posed of. The bulk of the sales were at prices ranging from (8.25 to (8.50. Most of the hogs offered averaged under 200 pounds In weight Dealings in the cattle market were light. Steers sold from (6 to (6.SO and cows from (5.25 to (6.25. No sheep or lambs were disposed of. In the shipment of fat steers which Bird Rose made to Portland last week, says the Harrisburg Bulletin, he topped the market. Eight head of the steers weighed an aver go of 1424 and brought (7.26 per cwt. The fn. that thpRA steerM were raised and fat- enea entirely on grass and that they brought the highest price ever paid oy any r-uri-land buyer, ought to give stockmen a greater stimulus to grow more stock of this kind. Receipts yesterday were 48 cattle, 18 calves, 876 hogs and 16 sheep. Shippers were E. Tlaybum, Hansen, laanu. 1 car of hogs; C. C. Brown. Klmberly. Idaho, l ar nt hoim: Milne Brothers.

NORTHWEST .WEATHER BAD Another Cent Gain in tbe Corn Mar ket, Owing to an Official Fore cast of Freezing Temperature. East Buys Coarse Cereal. CHICAGO. Sept. 20. Official forecast of a freeze tonight in the Northwest made com prices today take an upward leap. It was an almost constant ascent in the corn market. Despite much profit-taking, quota tions at no time showed more than a mod erate reaction. Considerable covering by shorts was done around the high points of the session. Cash grades kept pace with futures, Eastern demand running briskly all day. Experts declared the Government figures on the probable yield In Kansas and Nebraska were excessive by 20 to 25 per cent. Signs of a big Increase In the visible supply tended to weaken wheat near the end of the day. By that time shorts had largely covered, and many longs had taken profits. Earlier In the session prices had been firm, as a result of rainy, cold weather In the Northwest and because of th bulge In corn. Oats closed at an advance of c.
