ATTACK IS EARLY
Foreign Hop Yards Infested by
Insect Pests.
SITUATION IS WATCHED
rnture Coarse of American Market
Depends on Condition of Crops
in England and Germany.
Oregon Prospects Good.
The weather at present is flue for the
Oregon hop crop. The rains last -week
left plenty of moisture In the ground and
the ' higher temperature now prevailing; is
causing the Tines to make a good growth.
Several dealers who have heen through the
hop-growing sections lately believe the Ore
gon crop will be as large as last year's.
The future of the market depends on con
ditions on the other side of the Atlantic.
Should trouble befall the crops in England
and Germany, the high prices of last year
would probably be repeated. The European
plants have made a good start this year and
the insect pests have also made a good
tart. Cables for some time have brought
the information that the foreign yards were
being visited by an early and somewhat
severe attack of lice. The Kentish Ob
server of May 28 says t the conditions in
England:
"During the last few days, owing prob
ably to the prevalence of northeast winds,
there has been a considerable accession of
'fly In the hop plantations and In a few
instances in Kent washing has already com
menced, while many growers are preparing
for making an early start. The. warm
weather of last Thursday and Friday great
ly facilitated plant growth, but the low
temperature of the present week and' the
biting wind have given the bine a check
and It does not look a particularly good
color. Oa the .whole, however, the bine
19 strong and stout and the prospects at
this early stage are distinctly good. In
many places -rain Is wanted."
Belgian conditions, according to a letter
from Alost, dated May 22, are as follows:
"The aphis flies have considerably In
creased In our hop gardens and lice are be
coming much more in evidence. The' hot,
sunny weather, about 65 Fahrenheit, and
the mild nights which are now prevalent
have facilitated the arrival of the lady
birds and their yellow eggs are frequently
found on the leaves. Should the tempera
ture not fall briskly, then the niggers will
soon appear and hinder the further spread
ing of the vermin. "he present position
commands careful attention. Old stocks are
nil 'and brewers carry no stocks whatever.
The contract market on future delivery has
gained further strength and sellers are very
difficult to find at present moderate quota
tions. 5 to 100 francs."
London hop dealers circulars lust received
Bay:
"Vlld. Neame & Co. There Is no alteration
to report In our market. A moderate de
mand continues and values are steady at
their recent level. There Is a fair sprin
kling of "fly" In all districts.
Thornton A Manger Trade is quiet and
restricted, prices remaining unchanged.
Manger A Henley The steady inquiry no
ticeable the last week continues, being
chiefly for present requirements. Keports
from the plantations speak of a general
sprinkling of fly having made Its appear
ance, "W. H. A H. Le May The inquiry noted
in our last continues and several parcels
have passed Into consumers hands during
the past week at prices now ruling.
Worcester Under the influence of the hot
weather of last week the . bine made con
siderable progress, but since Sunday there
has been another decided check through the
big drop in the temperature, the nights be
ing bitterly cold. There Is a small steady
trade doing at about late rates.
CANTALOUPES OFFER AT AIX PRICES.
Good Inquiry for Fancy Cherries Strmw
berry Demand Over.
Cantaloupes of all kinds and qualities were
en sale yesterday, and prices varied accord
ingly. The best ripe stock aold at S2.25, and
green cants went aa low as $1.16 a crate.
'Watermelons were steady at the opening
price.
There was a good demand for fancy cher
ries. Royal Anns selling at 810 cents and
Blngs at 1012H cents, but cheap grades
were not wanted at any price. The de
mand for strawberries has also fallen off
and prices were lower at 85 cents to ft a
crate.
Five cars of bananas were received in
good oondltion.
New potatoes were scarce and firm. A
car of white potatoes arrived from Sac
ramento and cleaned up at Ihi cents. A
shipment of fancy head lettuce was re
ceived from Hood River and brought 75
cents a dozen.
.Front-street houses will be open only a
part of the day Friday to receive express
shipments. As it will be a legal holiday,
the railroad frebxhl Ottices will be closed
and no shipping orders will be filled on that
day.
TRICES OF POULTRY SHARPLY CUT
Over-Supply at Hens on Street Other Lines
Are Steady.
There waa a decided over-supply of poul
try on the local market yesterday and but
for several liberal shipments to the north
prices would have suffered more than they
did. Some of the dealers cleaned up their
stock of bens at 14 cents. While the en
larged receipts are due In part to expecta
tion by shippers of a strong holiday de
mand, some of the Increase Is occasioned.
no doubt, by the fact that the egg-laying
season IB winding up.
Receipts of eggs are gradually falling off
and the market is In a firmer position than
it has been for some time past. Prices are
no higher, but may be advanced next week.
There was a fair supply of poultry on
hand and as the demand was equal to it.
prices were steady.
There were no new developments In the
butler or cheese markets.
WOOL SALES AT BOSTON ARE HEAVY
Transfers of Week Estimated as High
Eight Million Pounds.
The wool-selling movement at Boston is
growing rapidly. Saes during the past
week are estimated as high as 7.O0O.OOO or
8. ooo.OOO pounds. Both domestio and for
eign wools have been absorbed freely by
leading mills and the business has been dls
triuuled well among various houses in the
"trade. Territory wools from the new clip
are moving In a satisfactory way at top
prices as recently quoted. Medium cross
oreds and South American low quarters
Dave received considerable attention and
holders of foreign grades are encouraged in
consequence.
During the past week the Williamson clip
in Montana waa secured by a Boston house
at slightly over 20 cents. The cost laid
down la the East, at this level, would be 22
cents or more. Yet the same clip was aold
at Boston last Fall at 18 cents. All over
Montana 20 cents Is being paid freely for
the best wools. Average clips bring 18 to
ibh cents. As high a 21 cents has been
paid In the Triangle.

Commissioner Says Condition of Many
Places la Bad and Courts Kail
to Give Proper Relief.
SALEM, Or., Juno 10. (Special.) Al
leging that rats Infest many restau
rants in Portland and other cities of
the state. J. D. Mickle. State JJairv and
Food Commissioner, announces in his
bulletin for June that he will wage
war on the vermin. He declares that
unless his requests that the proprie
tors ria tneir places of the rodents nre
heeded he will make a ruling that all
rood prepared In places where there
are rats be labeled "Rat Infested
and if that is not done he will see to
it that a placard containing the words
Rat Infested" shall be posted at the
entrance or each restaurant where
mere are rats.
There are dozens of restaurants in
t-oruana many consider among the bet
ter class,' says the Commisslmmr
that are literally alive with rats and
some of the towns of 2000 Inhabitants
or more have hardly a building where
food products are handled that are not
lniestea witn rats. Lack of law has
prevented us from closing a number of
restaurants where rats abound, and in
the absence of assistance from the
courts this office is helpless unless
Puduc sentiment can be aroused to
the danger of rats, as it has been
aroused to the danger of flies. Until
we can get a sanitary law clothing us
with authority to close . rat-infested
establishments, this office will continue
urging proprietors and owners of
buildings to rid themselves of the
pesky nuisance. If this is not heeded
we will make use of the misbranding
law that provides that all food prod
ucts shall be propertly branded.".

OLYMPIA, "Wash.. June 10. (Spe
cial.) Passive resistance to efforts 'of
the State Exposition Cimmlsslon t3
make an educational display at the
Panama-Pacific Exposition at San
Francisco unless allowance for this
purpose Is increased from $4000 to $25,
000 and control given Mrs. Josephine
Preston, State Superintendent of In
struction, was decided upDn'by County
School Superintendents in convention
today. A resolution declaring this a
virtual boycott was adopted.
Mrs. Preston stated the Exposition
Commission had refused to give her of
fice the control of the display or to
increase the allowance. She asked how
many superintendents would decline to
aid when a representative of the com
mission approached them, and ' all but
three er four superintendents rose on
a standing vote.
Other resolutions adopted by super
intendents at their concluding session
advocate the adoption of the 100-word
simplified spelling list, urge non-partisan
election of state and county su
perintendents and commend Mrs. Pres
ton and the minimum wage commis

Coroner' Inquires Into Cause of
Death of President Swift.
OREGON CITY. Or.. June 10. (Spe
cial.) Coroner W. J. "Wilson held an
Inquest today over the body of F. M.
Swift, president of the "Willamette Val
ley Southern Railway Company, who
died Tuesday morning, as the result of
a collapsed platform in the company
yards Monday afternoon.
The responsibility for the accident
was not placed, but blame was directed
against the scraper, operated by the
hoist, by catching on either a log or
root and stopping the machinery so
suddenly that the strain caused the
platfom f fllsfiae.

ment From Southwest General
European Buyinp Is on Largo
Scale and May Continue.
CHICAGO. June 10. New crop wheat In
cars actually on the road for the big termi
nal markets gave the chief advantage to
day to the bears. Closing prices, although
steady, were o to c under last night.
Other leading staples all showed a net ad
vance, corn c to lc, oats to c
and provisions 2 95 to 17 c.
Under free selling, part of which was un
doubtedly hedging of the new crop, wheat
values broke to a lower level than any pre
vious time this session. Belief that the
short selling of wheat on account of the
prospective big crop ltad beeen overdone
caused the market to rally at the opening.
In addition, there were advices from Liver
pool that general European buying was on a
big scale and was expected to continue. Pit
offerings here were light. Later the mar
ket eased off because shipments of new
wheat were reported as on the way to Kan
sas City.
Alarm over drouth carried the corn market
higher. Temperature so hot as to curl the
eaves In the field was an additional source
of anxiety.
Oats climbed as the result of crop dam
age advices from Illinois and other impor
tant states.
Prospect of a falling off In receipts of
hogs brought an upturn in provisions. At
first, however, the market was weak, in
sympathy witn prices at the yards.
