Keren! lots Taken In Oreexra at
That Plfnre Dealers Turning
Their Attention to California.
English Growers Firm.
There more general buying In the
Pacific Coast hoD market yesterday. Trad
lnr in thl tat woe on a fairly active
cale at IT to 20 cents. Oregon grower
are maintaining a firm attitude and are not
pressing their hops on the market. An
encouraging feature of the situation la that
a number of buyer are now out seeking
for hope, whereas last week only one or
two firms were operating.
The Bob Ankeny lot of about 100 bales.
at Rlckreall, was sold yeeterday to William
Brown Co. at 20 cents. Stlaber, Wolf
Netter bought two carloads at 10 cents and
commissions.
The California market was more active
than it has been recently. Dealers, un
able to buy in Oregon beoause of the high
prices asked by the growers here, have
turned their attention to the southern state,
where they were bidding up to IB cents
yesterday.
The foreign hop markets continue firm
but quiet. English growers are holding
out stiffly for 110 to 120 shillings.
HOP TRADES d THE AURORA SECTION
Recent Purchases Made a 1 to 17 Cent
and Better.
AURORA. Or., Oct. IT. BpeclaL) Sev
eral small lots of hops were purchased here
yesterday. Among them were the follow
ing! Mlshler A Grlbble bought 16 bales

is probably 19 cents; 15 bales over oon tract
from Chris Trost. at 18 cental 12 bales from
J. H. Sanguineus, of Hubbard, at an un
known price; 89 bales at Banks and 111
bales at Eugene at 13 H centa; 79 bales from
George Oglesby, of Aurora, at a price not
made public, but as the lot Is reputed to
be the finest lot In this section, the price
waa probably IT cents or better.
The Oeorge Gates lot of 52 bales was sold
Monday to Klaber, Wolf A Ketter at 16 H
cent. Many lots have been taken in en
contracts, which speaks well for the qual
ity of the1 hops produced here.
The Southern Pacific warehouse la fast
filling up with hops that are being put In
storage by growers who Intend to bold for
an advance In price.
OREGON WOOL SALES LX THE EAST
Dealers Look for Hlsher Rather Than Lower
Prices Soon.
Transactions in the Boston wool market
In the past week, according to mall ad
vices. Included about 1,000,000 pounds of
original bag wool from Oregon, Soda
Springs, Montana, Utah and New Mexico.
These wools show no change In prices from
the sales of similar wools previously made.
Commenting on the situation, the Boston
Commercial Bulletin says;
"There Is ssld to be more of s tendency en
the part of mills to taks on wool again, the
reasoning of buyers apparently being that
wools are unlikely to be lower after elec
tion, and. In view of the tremendous short
age In supplies throughout the world as well
as In this country, are very likely to be
higher.
"Thers Is no weak feature In the goods
market. The leading factor In the market
Is understood to be practically sold up on
men's fancy worsteds. - The situation on
staple goods Is too well known to need com
ment, while the drees goods mills are very
apparently well supplied with orders, espe
dally for good running to medium woolA
"Worsted yarn spinners are refusing to
make quotations very far ahead and Indeed
It la said that a number of them have re
fused to make quotations for future delivery
until after election, except at material ad
vances. "There is a belief among many of the
dealers that the mills ss a whole are less
well covered on raw material than Is patent
on the surface.
DEMAND FOR WHEAT NOT PRESSING
Deader Reduce Bids, But Offering, by
Fanners Are Light.
While the" undertone! of the whest mar
ket continues generally steady, dealers were
not Inclined yesterday to quote up to for
mer prices. For club 78 cents was offered
and tor bluestem 81 cents. Trading was
limited, principally because of the light
ness of farmers' offerings. The foreign and
Eastern markets closed steady, but dealers
believe there will be an advance today.
Local receipts, in cars, were reported by
the Merchants Exchange as follows:

HIDE RECEIPTS LARGE, PRICES FIRM
Dealer Expect Market to Work Backward
Before Long;.
The hide market continues ss firm as
ever with dealers paying up to IS and 1SH
cents. Local receipts are larger, but values
are fully maintained in view of the strength
East. The present prices are likely to
hold for at least another month. Decem
ber hides will be poorer In quality and
It may be that prices will recede then, but
of this no one Is certain.
Tanners are carrying small leather stocks
at the present high, prices, which would seem
to Indicate -that they are afraid the mar
ket cannot hold long. Should there be a
serious European war,' however, there will
be no backset to the advance, but on the
contrary probably a further rise.
CHEESE WILL BE. HIGHER NEXT WEEK
Local Prices Will Be Advanced Half a
Cent All Around.
The cheese market la well cleaned up and
very firm. On the arrival of the next boat
from Tillamook early next week prices will
be advanced half a cent all around.

NEW YORK. Oct. 17. Foreign conditions
were again factors of primary Importance
In the local stock market today. Formal
declaration of war by Turkey against Bui
garla and Servla called renewed attention
to the tense situation in Eastern Europe,
and advancea in the British and French
discount rates served as reminders of Im
pending as well as current events at Im
portant Continental centers.
Of Europe's three leading flnanolal In
stitutions, the statement of the Imperial
Bank of Germany was far and away the
most favorable, disclosing large gains In
gold and cash, with a decided contraction
of discounts. The British bank lost more
gold, its liability reserves are muoh under
last year's and the 0 per cent discount Is
th highest In aoout two years. The Bank
of France also lost some gold and Increased
Its discounts by over tS7.000.00O.
Firmness nrevalled on the Paris Bourse,
while Berlin was reactionary by reason of
the Balkan troublea

Xot Enough Aggressive Buying to
Sustain Weight of Hedgings.
Arrivals at Primary Terminals
Double Those of Year Ago.
CHICAGO, Oct. IT. War news wore out
today a a market influence, despite the fact
that fighting was on among five nations.
Although the widening out of the struggle
with Turkey led to some display of wheat
strength, there was not enough aggressive
buying to sustain the weight of hedgings,
and due to- the pressure of Spring crop re
ceipts Northwest. Moreover, export de
mand had disappeared and European mar
kets turned limp.
Arrivals of wheat at primary terminals
mounted to the high total of 2,000,000 bush
els, nearly doubling the record, for the cor
responding time a year ago. The market
waa also depressed by speculators who were
busy oloalng trades between here and Min
neapolis, selling December in Chicago. Th
final tone was steady.
Corn closed unchanged to 0o down.
