THE MORNING- OREGOXTAN. THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 2. 1913. 1, FIRES ARE CHECKED Oregon, Washington Spend $25,000 Fighting Flames. SUM LESS THAN LAST YEAR Change in Weather Controls Flames In State and Little Trouble Is Expected Unless Dangers Should X Be Revived. Forest fire-fighting in Oregon and Washington bus coat the- United States Government just 925. 0UO for July and August. This figure was announced yesterday by the officials of the for estry department after a close survey of the expenses of the 60-day period Just passed. According to their report the figure is much lower than for the corresponding period in 1914. A decided change in the weather has put all the fires in the Oregon forest under control and with the possibility of rain within the next few weeks fire-fighting in Oregon will no doubt cost little more this season. T. H. SSherrard, who was at the Zig Zag ranger station when the Salmon Kiver fire was at Us worst, said yes terday that the weather change about 6 o'clock Monday had aided materially the fighting of that fire. 'Unless we have another change of weather and the hot east wind again springs up 1 do not think that the tires in the vicinity of Mount Hood will plve us any more trouble. However, we are taking no chances and are leav ing enough men at the first line to take care of any emergency," said Mr. Kherrard. Besides the fires in the vicinity of Mount Hood that are all controlled, there are other fires in Oregon that are causing a great deal .of anxiety. A new' fire has been reported near ' Fort Rock, in the Deschutes National forest in Lake County. About 40 men have been dispatched to the fire line. The fire is in yellow pine and as the weather is hot and dry the fighters have their hands full. The fire in the Ochoco forest, re ported yesterday, is completely under control and the men have been re leased. Kire still rages in the Crater National forest in the vicinity of Butte Falls and In the White Salmon and Wenatchee Valleys in Washing ton.

Dale's place and across a quarter-section stubble field to Will iam Timmerman's farm. The Timmer man house and barn were threatened, but were saved by two score volun teers. The fire is believed to have been due to a spark from a Northern Pacific '"IWbmotlve. Fifty sacks of unthreshed wheat on Cliff Kearney's place, at Vincent, were destroyed yesterday by fire started by a threshing outfit. WEXAIIA FOREST EXDAXGEKED daze on Spackinan Mountain De fies Crews and One Missing. WALLA WALLA, Wash., Sept. 1. The most threatening lire that has burned in Southeastern Washington this year is beyond control on Space man Mountain, about 40 miles east of Walla Walla, and is rapidly nearing the Wenaha National forest.

WHEAT NOT WANTED English Buyers Turn Down Offerings From Coast. LOWER PRICES ARE QUOTED London Market Down 22 Cents Since Opening oT Cereal Year and Demand Has Now Ceased. Trade Awaits Developments. Inability to sell wheat abroad is steadily forcing down the markets In the Pacific Northwest. Prices were not lowered at the Merchants Exchange yesterday, yet the tendency In general Is downward. Local exporter sro making efforts to sell wheat in England, but without success. Cargoes were offered la London yesterday at 51s with no takers. This represents a 6s decline in the English wheat market from the sellers' point of view, with no in dication as to what buyers would actually pay If they wanted wheat, which they ap parently do not. Since the beginning of the crop year the English market for Pacific Coast wheat has fallen fully 18 cents a bushel, and the drop in exchange means 4 cents more, or a decline of 22 cents, while prices at this end have gone off about 20 cents. Added to this la the refusal of English buyers to be Interested at prices that are being almost daily reduced. Under the circumstances, buying is al most at a standstill In his territory. There have been no sales on the local board for the past fortnight. A little selling Was re ported la the country yesterday at 70 to 72 cents for club at Interior points. At the Merchants Exchange spot blue stem was unchanged and October 1 cent lower on bid. Other offers were either un changed or 1 cent higher than Tuesday's. The only reason given why prices were not reduced all around was the strength ex hibited by Chicago. The market is distinctly in a waiting at titude. Although new business cannot be worked, there are probably some require ments to be filled, but buyers will not enter the market while it Is on the down grade. Any definite signs that bottom has been reached would doubtless start a fair buy ing movement. The Winnipeg Free Press estimates the crop of the three provinces at 222.184,000 bushels of wheat and 233,302.000 bushels of oats. The wheat yield of Portugal Is estimated at 30 per cent less than normal. Terminal receipts, in cars, were reported by the Merchants Exchange as follows: Portland Wheat Barley Flour Oati Hay Wednesday ... f0 y 74 Year ago 313 5 13 18 12 Season to date. 1721 16 3fU I77 343 iear ago 2372 218 406 241 204 Tacoma Tuesday 76 2 . . n Year ago 41 . . ,. 1 20 Season to date. 1106 46 ..

Exporters of butter in New York are mak ing preparations to take care of a large in crease in exportations to the English mar ket during -the next three months, and ac cording to factors the exports between now and January l are likely to amount to 100.000 tubs of an average of 60 pounds each. The anticipated Increase in demand from England is based on the fact that England will not be able to secure enough butter from Denmark to make up the deficiency in the home supply, for the reason that Denmark's production is below normal and Germany and Austria are absorbing ths bulk of the Danish weekly output. Those countries aro deprived ot their usual supplies of Siberian butter because of war conditions. Germany is said to be taking about all the butter that is made In Holland and only light shipments are made across the North Sea and the English Chann-el. Supplies of Argentine and Australian butter are said to be practically' exhausted, and further shipments are likely to be email until late in November. It is pointed out that the most serious obstacle to the export movement from this side is the lack of. freight refrigerator room. It Is too warm now to risk shipments outside of a refrigerator and nothing of this kind is likely to be tried before tho last of Sep tember or early in October. WHEAT HARVEST IS NEAELY OVEB Pastures Are Drying Up and Supply of Milk Is Shrinking. Following la a summary of the crop con ditions in Oregon for the week as reported to tha local office of the Weather Bureau by special correspondents throughout the state: Hot and dry weather prevailed during the week In Oregon, except the last day, which was much cooler. . A few light sprinkles-of rain fell In the western counties on Monday. The wheat harvest is nearly finished and the farmers are now busy hauling grain to the warehouses. Hop picking has begun and this crop would bo damaged If any great amount of rain should fall during ths next two or thres weeks. Corn Is earing nicely and late potatoes arc rapidly matur ing. Pastures are poor and the supply of milk' is snrinking. Garden truck Is at a standstill for lack of rain. Some Fall disc plowing is being done, but tho weather is too dry for this work to become general. Streams are the lowest they have been in over 20 years and rain la badly needed, ont only for growing crops, but to extinguish the forest fires which are more numerous and threatening than at any time before this season. FINE WOOL NOW FINDING BUYERS Oregon Clips Change lianas at Boston at 66 to 68 Cents Clean Uasis. Fine and fine medium wools are beginning to change hands In the Boston market. Among the sales in the past week was a quantity of Oregon wool for which the clean cost was estimated at about 66 to 68 cents. A 50,000-pound lot of Wyoming halfbiood was sold at 26 cents, or about 6S cents clean. Included in the territory transfers was 1,000,000 pounds sold by one house to a single manufacturing concern. The wool Involved grades of tbree-eighths-blood sell ing at 34 cents In the grease, or about 70 cents scoured. Tho lot comprised Montana, Idaho and other medium clips. Other sales of territory have been reported as follows: 66.000 pounds or so Montana at 29 to 30 cents, or 68 to 72 cents clean; a good -sized lot of fine medium and medium Utah, at 23 to 23 y cents, or 67 to 68 cents clean; 100,000 pounds fine medium Utah at 22 cents, or 67 cents clean. Fairly active conditions have prevailed in tho market for scoured wools. PRUNES ARE RIPENING EARLY Picking; and Drying Is Being; Done in Polk County. DALLAS. Or.. Sept. 1. (Special.) The recent warm weather has tended to ripen the prunes somewhat earlier than usuai, and In several of the orchards picking and drying Is now being carried on. Prune pick ing will bo in full swing by ths middle of next week. The prunes are looking well and an average crop is promised. Owing to the late frost last Spring, a considerable quantity of the prunes aro scabby. Most of the large growers have contracted their crops, the contract price ranging from Ssa to &14C. according to quality and size. It is thought here that tlie war In Europe, closing the German markets t. ths prune crop, will keep tho price down to that cow being offered. In the past, Germany has provided Polk County with on of its best markets for tho prune output. Practically all the grain of the county has been threshed and cared for and all hay stacked or baled. Weather conditions have been better this year for all crops and for harvesting than for several years. OREGON CATTLE AT KANSAS CITY Prime Steers Bring S7.50 to 97.75 in Eastern Market. KANSAS CITY, Sept- 1. (Special.) -ight thousand cattle were received today and the market was steady to strong. Ten loads of steers from Juntura, Or., av eraging 1230 pounds, brought $7.73 today. Ten loads from the same point, averaging i-32 pounds, sold here Tuesday at $7.75. averaging 1200 pounds, were sold on Monday pounds at 7.C5 and two loads, averaging 1 1230 pounds, at $7.50. , TIIE CliOP OF JPRUE9 18 LIGHT Picking Near Sheridan Is to Begin First I of Next Week. SHERIDAN. Or.. Sept, L (Special.) 1 Prune picking in the orchards about here will begin the first of next week. Tho un usually lisht yield Is due to late frosts and the hot weather last week. Dried fruit Is quoted at 5 cents and 5H cents. "Contracts for two-thirds of the crop Is usually with the Germans, ' said one grower today, "so that accounts for the low price this year." Hoy Graves, a grower south of this place, who usually harvests 2i tons of dried prunes, does not expect more than 12 tons this year. Two growers who have adjoining or chards totaling iu0 acres in the Gopher Valley country, north of here, are not pre dicting more than a fifth crop. Hop Picking on at Dallas. 1 DALLAS, Or.. Sept. 1. (Special.) Pick ing has commenced in many of the hopyards in the vicinity of Dallas and by the last of tha week all growers will be gathering their crops. The hops look fairly good and an ordinary crop is expected in this section. Considerable spraying has been done ana the yards have been better cared for than usual. in the smaller yards indications point to a scarcity of pickers, and it is said that in some of the larger yards dirri culty will be experienced In securing the needed number. AH growers seem to view conditions as to quality and price from an optimistic standpoint, and 20c a pounds is freely predicted for October.

REBOUND 111 STOCKS Market Advances on News of New German Policy. EARLY PRICES ARE HEAVY Foreign Exchange Drops Sharply, but Rates Recover in Afternoon. Securities Pressed for Sale for European Account. NEW YORK. Sept 1. Widely divergent conditions helped to unsettle today's mar ket and liept It in a state ot ferment dur Ins the early session, with general Im provement later. Further debasement of British. ' French and Italian exchange to the lowest quotalons ever officially re corded ft'M counterbalanced by the news that uermany had complied with this coun try's protests to the extent of abandoning her policy of marine' warfare. This news was followed by a sharp rebound of prices. In banking circles, however, there wa no disposition to minimize th. effect of the Increased demoralization in international credits. Demand bills on London fell to an overnight loss of 5H cents, and Paris checks at a.0 represented a loss of 5 cents, or 4 cents under any rate hitherto quoted, while Urea at tell i cents under all previous rates. In the afternoon marked improvement was noted, sterling actually recovering In full at one time, while francs regained 8 cents to 38.01. Italian exchange hard ened in sympathy, but the day's develop ment offered fresh proof of the Immediate need for remedial measures. There was a marked Increase of bond and stock sales for foreign account. Open selling embraced some of the Inactive high grade railway bonds so extensively held abroad. According to reports, large amounts of these and similar securities have re cently been absorbed here at private sales. Except for the first hour, when prices were tending downward, and In the final dealings, which witnessed another meteoric rise In motors and kindred Issues, trading was light. Railroad shares derived fresh Btiraulus from favorable statements of earnings, and the special ties rose on a mixture of war order rumors, together with manipulation. General Motors gained 214, to SMO, a new record; Willys-Overland . to 187; Crucible Steel 84. to S4, and Stude baker to 113. United States Steel sold up to 75, two points over Its early low. Total sales amounted to 67S.0OO shares. Bonds were irregular, due largely to the heavy foreign offerings. Total sales, par value, aggregated $3,775,000. United States bonds were unchanged on call.

Wheat closed strong at an advance of ic to c today on a buying spurt from shorts who were un easy at the fact that for the first time in the history of the exchange there waa no delivery of wh-tat on September 1. The September option closed at 06 and De cember was at 93-, iii-t3ic. Corn closed unchanged to a net loss of lc after a slight rally from the opening weakness had been wiped out. Oats closed He lower to He higher, and provisions finished weak at a net loss of 7 c to 30c. Corn was under liquidation at the start and followed wheat In a downward course for a time. Perfect weather in the corn belt kept prices depressed a while after wheat had taken the upgrade. There was free selling till an advance waa scored in cash corn. Oats had a firm tone most of the flay. Sympathetic effect from the weakening of corn when it was at its lowest was pre vented by heavy buying of ata on the part of leading cash interests. Heavy liquidation on September contracts weakened provisions throughout the list. The close was near the lowest, with pork off 2030c, lard 74 220 and ribs 10 17Hc Leading futures ranged as follows: WHEAT. Open. HIrh. Loir Clnj. Sept X $ $ .93 $ .96i Ie, 91 .94 .91 .93 CORN.

ROSEBURG, Or., Sept. 1. (Special.) Big crops in nearly all fruits are reported throughout Douglas County this year, and with the exception of peaches shipments in all will be larger. The markets, how ever, have been poor and prices unsatisfac tory, according; to local fruitmen. It is expected that in spite of an abundance of crops, the fruitgrowers will realise but small profits. The usual market for most of the pears raised in this section is France, but scarcely a pear has been sent across the Atlantic since the war began. Thirteen cars of pears have De-en snip pea rrom JrtoseDurg this sea son. which is a slight Increase over the year before. All of these have gone to California for canning. One more car of D'AnJoua and ClatrKeaus will be shipped. Peaches are bringing the lowest prioes in years, and some win not be picked.
