TRAMP REPORTED TAKEN Gradual Increase In Volume or Trade In Northwestern Markets Ware housemen Raise Bids to Get Grain. Thers is a gradual broadening of the vneat movement In the Northwest, -which Is to be expected at this time of year, but the market has not yet reached the customarj activity. The slowness of farmers In offer ing In nar-rlv responsible for this. 1-. HrfHAlInn ,n frifhf riteS tO tllO Orient has resulted In a little more demand for wheat from that ouarter. but the buy- era declare they cannot yet meet the prices .i. v.,. the, basis of 3.50 ireigni. Some chartering of tramp tonnaae around $3.25 Is reported to have been done, wnicu would Indicate a fair start made in this direction. In the country the wheat market was actlTe in spots where scraps deeviopea oe tween warehouse men, but In most sections where crops were larite the market was more or less neglected. CIud waa quoted at TSffSO cents and bluestem at 85 SS6 cents. A deadlock exists In the barley market. The farmers refure to sell at current prices and ask 124 to f-'S In the country, but buy era are no longer willing to pay these prices. The oats market Is very Quiet. Growers are letting go of enough to take care of the trade and prices are steady. Ixeai receipts. In cars, were reported by the Merchants' Exchange as follows: Wheat isarley Flour Oats Hay Monday 217 . -"1 " 13 6 Tuesday 75 -" 1 Year ago 12 , Season to date.2r.-4 S:;h l"-1 4P" Year ago il'45 217 4.04 136 44i According to Broomhall, the wheat crop of Europe, not counting France, which has not yet Issued Its annual return, la 23.400. 00O bushe'-s more this season than last sea son. Broomhall'a summary of crop condi tions follows: I'nlted Kingdom Recent ralna have de layed harvesting, but have Improved the fodder crop. France Harvesting and cutting of wheat Is progressing and the yield Is mostly well below last year. The quality Is betetr than last year, although Irregular." The outturn for oats Is much better than expected. Germany The weather during the week was much better for securing the wheat, and harvesting and cutting la progressing rapid ly. Firs; arrivals of wheat and oats show weather uamage. Arrivals of wheat are increasing. r.uy.-ia Weather fine and the outlook fa vornble. except In Poland, where It Is too wt- rrospects for the crop are fully main tained. Arrivals at the ports continue slow. Roumanla Threshing Is progressing, with the quality good and yield satisfactory, A record crop is expected for corn. Hungary The weather la unsettled, which is unfavorable for wheat harvesting1 and also for com. India The outlook for seeding Is consid ered favorable and wheat pricea are de clining. Australia Confirmed reporta are received of beneficial rains, which have improved prospects. HOPS TUXJJ HEAVIER TH.VX IX 1912 Reports Indicate Smaller Crops Only In Folk County. Reports received from various hop sec tions yesterday indicated the crop Is com ing down heavier than last year, except possibly In Polk County. The Impression prevails that the Independence section will show a decrease of about 15 per cent, but Marlon County, the largest hops-rowing county In the state, will, according to re ports received, have 15 per cent more hops than last year. Washington County will also produce more hops. In Clackamas and Unn Counties the yield promises to be about the same as last year. Iane County growera estimate "SoO bales more than In 1812. There was no business passing In the local market. Eighteen cents Is a nominal quo tation' fir- the new Oregon crop. A Cali fornia 'wire reported the sale of 300 bales of yolos at 17 cents. A lot of poor Sacra mentos was reported sold at 17 cents. Beer sales In the United States for the month of July. 1113, were 7.501. 31tf barrels, against 7.143.305 barrels for July. GOOD PEACHES ARE FIRM IN PRICE Another Advance In Yakima Market To mstoef w Scarce Then waa another 5-cent advance In El berta peaches at Yakima yesterday. The belief prevails that peaches are oversold there. This has made the local market firmer on the best stock, though prices were no higher yesterday, standing at 40 to 65 cents. 3Jore or lesa poor fruit Is still coming In from The Dalles, and this drags, but dealers find no difficulty In selling sound peaches. A car of Tokay grapes wag received and put on sale at $1.25. The demand for grapes in general was good. A car of fancy Turlock cantaloupes waa received and sold well at fl.oO. Melons were in fair supply and slow to move. The demand for pears was light. Tomatoes, which were In oversupply last week, are now scarce, as the rain and cold nights retard their ripening. Good tomatoes were in demand yesterday at 50 to CO cents a box. the year, when poor-quality hides will begin coming In. Tanners are buying sparingly, and but for this fact prices would be still higher. " Bank Clearings.

W. Dennis & Sons say: "The market In London this week has been espe cially strong for peara. In fact, we can see nothing to prevent a continuance of this strong demand for some considerable time. We shall not see many more French Wil liams on this market, as the crop la an ex ceedingly short one and the fruit la very dear at the producing centers. About 2500 boxes of California Bartletts and 500 crates of Callfornian pluma were landed. - The Barletts are making from 9s 6d to 10s, while pluma are making fts for Yellow Eggs and Golden Drops and 7s for Gross prunes. There has been nothing much in the way of apples. A few Hudson River bar rels of Gravenstelns and Maiden Blush sold at 20s and ISs. respectively, but they were all slack. The weather here Is very fine and all in favor for the consumption of fruit. POULTRY RECEIPTS ARE VERY SMALL Highest Pricea of Season Are Quoted on AH Kinds Poutry arrivals have fallen off sharply, due either to supplies In the interior being cleared up or to larger consumption In the country. The few coops of hens received yesterday sold readily at 16Vi cents, and springs brought lj cents. Good, live turkeys are worth 22 H cents, but almost none are com. ing to market. Pekln ducks are quoted at 15 cents and colored ducks at 12i cents. Dressed meats are also scarce and 3rm. Oregon ranch eggs continue In light sup ply and selected stock la easily worth 34 cents. stutter and cheese are firm at last prices. Hide Market la Strong. The hide market la strong, with supplies f all kinds very scarce. No decline in prices can be expected before the turn of WHEAT OFF AT GL05E GOVEKXMEXT REPORT IS MORE BEARISH THAN" EXPECTED. Improved Prospects for Fall Plow ing ilavo Weakening Effect on Chicago Market. CHICAGO. Sept. -9. Improved prospects for Fall plowing had a weakening effect today on the price of wheat. The Govern ment report turned out even more bearish than expected regarding wheat, with corn just as bullish as looked for and oats about as predicted. Net changes In the market were: Wheat, ic to c decline: corn, Vt0 loss to HWc gain: oats, off l-18c to c; provisions, lees expensive by a shade to 10c. Wheat speculators took due notice that the rains In the Winter-crop region had Improved opportunities for plowing. There was an offset, though, in the resumption of threshing Northwest, and the market showed little power to rally and the feeling at the close was easy. Renewed weakness in corn came about owing to slgna of enlarged receipts here, but shorts covering led to another upturn. The close was unsettled. Dealers in oats marked time awaiting the Government report. Price changes were narrow throughout. Anxiety of holders to realize profits more than wiped out an early advance In pro visions. The strength at the outset resulted from an advance In the hog market. The leading futures ranged aa follows: WHEAT. Open. High. Low. Close.

CROP REPORT AS EXPECTED Shares of Wheat-Carrying Roads Are Bid Vp Stren-rtli Developed fcy Petroleum Issues Money . Ja in Demand. NEW YORK, Sept. 9. It was not until after th aDDearanca of the ' Government croD reDort in the last hour of today's trad ing that the stock market snowea some appearance of activity, witn a decisive movement downward, but business was un usually light and fluctuatlona possessed llt ! significance. Pending receipt of the crop figures, traders preferred to mark time. The final movement waa upwaru, with a fair degree of activity. In ceneraL the crop figures about met expectations. The falling off in September condition of corn from 75.So to 65.1c had been predicted; In fact, the indicated yield of corn was above some estimates made recently. Unofficial reports, moreover, were that the drouth had. been relieved In sev eral corn states by rain during the last two days. The- condition of Spring wheat was regarded as reassuring and this section of the report was made the basis for bidding up the stocks of the wheat roads. The petroleum stocks developed strength. Mexican Petroleum rose 4H following r 5-point advance of yesterday, and California Petroleum gained 2 points. People's Gas was marked up 2 points to the accompani ment of rumors of favorable dividend ac tion. Reduction in the dividend rate of SB I. nuts Southwestern preferred was without effect on that stock, which was not traded In, although the common declined a point. Money was in demand and rates for time loans stiffened all around. Bonds lost ground on lessened dealings. Total sales, par value, $1,215,000. United States bonds were unchanged on call.

There was an active cattle market yes terday, with fair arrivals for the day and a good cleanup of the stock that was car ried over. The tone of the cattle market In general was steady. Hogs moved off at the previous day's prices and sheep were fairly steady. The best price paid for a full load of steers was $8.10, though a few single sales were made at J8.25. From these figures the prices realized on car lots ranged down to 86.10. The bulk of the steer sales made' during the day were at $7.35 to $7.50. Cows for the most part went at $5.65 to $6.85.
