Air FOREIGN CROP POOR Barth Again Cuts Estimate of European Yield. HOP MARKET IS EXCITED Oregon Dealers Bur at 21 Cents. Bid of 22 1-2 Cents Made on Large lot English Prices Advancing. Almost dally euU In the estimate for foreign crops are adding to the excitement In the Oregon hop market. A cable was re ceived yesterday from Barth, the most con servative dealer In Germany, reducing his estimate of the Continental crop, sent on the preceding day. by 10.000 bales. No English figures were received during the day. but the English crop estimates have been undergoing a general scaling down for some time past. It Is now evident that the European crops will be small, and prices at this end are being readjusted to meet tne changed conditions. Growers are selling with moderate free dom as fas as their hops are baled. There are plenty of buyers for every lot offered, however, and under the clrcumatancee. the tendency of the market cannot be other wise than upward. The larger part of the buying is still for export account. An offer of 22 hi cents was made yester day on 700 bales of choice Oregons and re fused. Buying was heavy at from 20 to 21 centa. Among the lots purchased at the latter price was that of Damon A Bohannon, 250 balea, at Independence, secured by Lacn mund. One hundred bales of the Campbell Walker crop at Eugene changed hands at the same price. Barth. of Nuremburg. cabled an estimate of 673.000 cwt. fur the Continent, as fol lows: Germany, 2S0.0OO; Austria, 220.000; Belgium, 63.000: France, 00,000; Russia. 60.000. The Barth cable showed an entire change of tone In the German market. He said: 'Market continues very strong, due to pm-chaslng on opinions of dealers and speculators. Ironmonger cabled from London as fol lows: "Market very firm Indeed. Buyers begin to realise the shortness of supplies and a rise may be expected. Cannot buy under 170 shillings. Holders firm in their views and not disposed to sell, even at advance. Demand 200 shllllnga" WHEAT TRADE OF LARGE VOLUME. Buying I on Active Scale at linn Prices at Country mints. Wheat buying was on an active scale at most country points yesterday. Farmers offerings were fairly large, and with a good demand well distributed. Among the ex port and milling trade prices were firm all around. Bluestem was quoted here at 88 cents and bids were put out In the country en the basis of S9 cents. Club was quoted at 805)81 cents. The oats trade was quiet, but the market held steady at S2H. Interior dealers are looking for a freer selling movement.

France A prominent firm in Paris esti mates the wheat crop at 304.000.000 bush els. (This compares with our agents esti mate ot 800,000,000 bushels). The quality of new wheat as offered is mostly good, and offerings are showing a substantial Increase, but buying of foreign wheat still continues. Germany The weather Is favorable for the finishing of harvest. Supplies of native wheat have Increased. Some wheat has sprouted as a result of recent rains. Russia In the center and east wheat Is yielding good, and arrivals are commencing to show an Increase at the ports. Roumania Rain Is delaying threshing and fine warm weather Is urgently needed. Dry. hot weather is also wanted for corn. Bulgaria In the Bourgas district the weather la favorable and harvesting Is pro gressing satisfactorily. Hungary The outlook for corn Is unfa vorable, as It Is too wet. The wet weather has also effected wheat, and the quality has been lowered. An unofficial report states that the yield will be about sufficient for home consumption. India The seeding for wheat Is progress ing, with the outlook very favorable. Part ot the surplus wheat which waa not stored has been damaged by the recent rains. Australia Our agent cables that the acre age In Victoria shows an increase of 400. 000 acres and the total increase In area planted in the whole of Australia shows an Increase of about 1,250,000 acres. The con dition Is given as mostly favorable. SUMMER FRUITS IX LESS DEMAND. Long Season Drawing to an End Grapes Come to Front. The demand for Summer fruits is sub siding and the Fall varieties are coming to the front. Grapes are now taking the place held by peaches a week ago. Among the grape receipts yesterday was a carload of Concords front Yakima, which were offered at 20 cents In full baskets. This is unusu ally low for early Concords, and they will probably be quickly absorbed for canning. Concords also came In from a number of local points. The .first ear of Oros Coleman grapes cleaned up rapidly at fl.G0Ol.TB In lug boxes. Peaches were In fairly large supply and dragged at 25 to 60 cents. Cantaloupes are also moving more slowly. The season for this fruit, which has been a long one. Is drawing to an end. Pears and plums were slow. More Interest Is being shown In the apple market- ARRTVAL9 OF POULTRY ARE LARGER Extreme Prices of Last Week Not Kow Obtainable. Receipts of poultry were larger yester day than for some time post.

Pacific Coast ports were said to be outbidding Minneapo lis for the Montana crop. Wheat strength did not develop much until nearly midday. Previous to that time, the market . was somewhat depressed. t , . In corn, as in wheat, there was a bullish flurry after midday.
