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. UMATILLA GRAIN' IS BCKXED

stroyed more than 2000 sacks of wheat
near Helix Monday, sweeping across
part of Carl Kuper's ranch, spreading
to William H. 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.

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.
Hundreds of residents in that vicin
ity are lighting the flames, but with
out avail. Several homes have been
burned and grain fields on the moun
tain have been saved only because the
grain is too green to burn. One man
is reported missing.
FIRES IX KAST A1U3 CHECKED
La Grande Water Shortage Also Is

LA GRANDE. Or., Sept. 1. (Spe

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:

ENGLAND IS MARKET FOB BUTTER
Eastern Exporters Plan to Ship 100,000 Tubs
This Vear.
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

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.

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.

NEW TORK, Sept. 1. The market for
coffee futures was lower today under mod

chases. The market opened unchanged to

of 0 to 12 points, with December selling as

Time la History off Exchange,
v Com Pit Prices Lower.
CHICAGO, Sept. 1. 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

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.
