TTTE MORNING OEEGOXIAX. FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER HOP ESTIiTES CUT Exporter Ficures Oregon Crop at 85000 Bales. PICKING PROGRESSES FAST Question of Quality of Bulk of Yield Is Vet to Be Determined.. XeAv York Production Xot Over 1 2,000 Bales. It Is generally conceded now by local hop dealers that the Oregon crop will not so over 10). 000 bales. One of the leading xporters gave It aa his opinion that S5.0OO bales would prove to be the correct figure. As picking progresses It becomes more evident that the crop was overestimated, even by growers. This Is shown In a num ber of Instances where it is now certain that contracts cannot bo delivered In full. In a few yards there will be practically no contract deliveries. Tho harvesting of early fuggles gives an Indication of how the late crop la coming down. Every fuggle yard in the state. It la aid. has produced less than wa estimated. One of the largest fuggle yards, on which 100,000 pounds was contracted for, has grown only 39.000 pounds. There Is no scarcity of pickers this year. A few yards in the Independence section still need more help, but in other sections there Is an oversupply of labor. Efforts are being made to divert pickers from the East Side, where they are not needed, to the Polk County yards that are short of hands. The picking season will be an un usually short one this season because of the light crop. Some of the pickers are already complaining of the poor wages they are making. The question of quality In this state ts till undetermined. It will be mixed, of course, but the percentage of the various grades cannot be figured out. Bids of 14 cents were made yesterday for fugglea without resulting In business. The market for late hops can hardly be established until representative lines or aamples are available. California dealers are beginning to reduce their estimates of the crop In that state. The California market is Inactive, with 3 2 cents bid. Samples of new Sacramentos displayed In local offices are generally of very good quality. Tha New York hopgrowers have had a bad season. A letter received yesterday from a reliable source there said the crop of states would not exceed 12,000 bales, and the bulk of them would be poor qual ity. A little business has been done In New York hops at 22 to 25 cents to the WHEAT FA REFERS CEASE SEI.LIN G. Offrring Are Withdrawn Since Market As sumed Better Appearance The local wheat market was steady yes terday. Bids at the Merchants' Exchange for October bluestem and October club were raised a cent and others were the same as Wednesday. Sellers' prices averaged about a cent higher than the day before. No sales were posted. Selling in the country has again come to a stop. The movement has not been lively at any time, but early In the week a num ber of lots passed out of growers hands and more were available. Since prices have Fhown a tendency to recover, however, the el ling by farmers has ceased. There was a quarter advance in prompt oats and barley bids, but no transactions. One hundred tons of September bran wero old on the exchange at $22. iSnow estimates the Winter wheat crop t 651.000,000 bushels, the condition of the Spring wheat crop at 01.8 per cent and corn condition at 80.2 per cent. The wheat crop of the United Kingdom Is estimated at 7G,(HiO.00O bushels, against C3.0Oo.00 bushels last year. The world s wheat crop, principal coun tries. Is estimated at 2.703.K)0,00O bushels and the worlds oat crop at 2,733,000,000 bushels. Argentine shipments for the week are figured at 00.000 bushels of wheat and 2.0O.00O bushels of corn.

An Eastern apple expert has Just given out the result of his canvass of the pros pective American apple crop and estimates it at about 64.600.000 barrels, as against R4. 404.000 barrels last year, much of which however, was not marketable he says only CO Per cent being actually of market value Therefore he asserts that 1915 will have a record apple crop. The fine apple weather of July has Mdded 2.600.000 barrels to the available supply as it appeared at the end. of June, he declares. "The coming crop of 1915 equals." the re port continues. "64.600.000 barrels, aU of which at the present time is said to be of very fine quality. It's quite true that in the "West some of the states are slightly under what they were last year, but one has to consider the increased acreage and the num ber of young trees now coming Into bearing all of which will produce very fine fruit ' "Coming to the Middle West Illinois shows nearly double the crop of last year Missouri has 2.000.000 bushels more than lasi year. "I believe that if I were to go into my figures carefully. I might prove that if 5.O00.0OO inhabitants eat 1,000.000 barrels then 20.000.000 barrels of apples of mer chantable quality are sufficient for the United States. Now. supposing they eat owing to low prices, double the quantity or 40.W0.000 barrels, there is .(ill a. surplus of 24.WO.ooo barrels for elder and the evapo rator, and that. I take it. it is quite enough to keep them busy aU the season." ADVANCE IN LOCAL BUTTER MARKET City Creamery Cube Raised jvfc Cents De cline in Choree. A 2 H -cent advance in the local butter market was announced yesterday. Fancy city creamery cubes, in the new lists, are quoted at 20H cents. wilh the usual premium on points and cartons. The ad vance is due to the falling off in the make and the stronger markets elsewhere on the Coasz. Cheese prices were reduced another quar ter of a cent. Eggs are moving better, even uncandled tock. Standard Oregon ranch, candled, are jobbing at 27 cents, and fancy new-laid stock Is quoted up to 31 cents. There was a strong demand for poultry and large hens sold at 14 H cents. Ordinary hens brought 14 cents and Springs 17 cent. Country dressed meats were rather slow, and veal prices were shaded half a cent. Peach ra will Be Higher. The peach market is stiffening and the next day or two will probably see higher prices on Front street. There was atrong demand yesterday and a big stock was moved at Wednesday's prices. Malaga erape were quoted 10 cent lower at $1.30. Other grape prices were on changed. - . Melons, cantaloupes and other Summer fruits sold well. Watermelon Crop Is Heavy. BOSEBL'RG, Or.. Sept 2.

Rain is threatened and hops are being hurried to the kilns as fast as possible, although there is not the abun dance of help that some growers have an nounced. Barley In Garfield Averages Hlarh.

British secret service is cow estimated to cost $550,000, formerly the cost was only $250,000, SELLING BY EUROPE Foreign Liquidation Is Fea ture of Stock Market. EXCHANGE SITUATION AIDED Continued Manipulation of War Contract Shares in Wall Street. Mercantile Paper Is More Freely Accepted by Banks. Jfc,W YORK, Sept 2. Liquidation of American securities for foreign interests was the pervading influence of today's trading, superseding as a market factor the settle ment of the controversy between Waahing- enin ana tne critical Interna tlonal credit situation. In fact. th En ropean selling was generally accepted as the primary reason for the Improvement n foreign exchange, which recovered almost ii me ground lost early in tha week. inougn yielding some of this advantage Demand bills on London advanced to be tween $4.59 and 14.60. as erint tUn ln rate of $4.50 established yesterday, and other remittances hardened on account of covering of short or speculative contracts ii cAuuaiige. xnis, coupled with the an nouncement that Loudon's financiers had nwtmenea 10 tne gravity of the situation, tended largely toward today's adjustment. The foreign offerings were mainly in the more active Issues, comprising the Inter national list trans-continental grangers. Fries and United States Steel and copper. The extent of this selling, which caused recessions of one to two points, was vari ously estimated at from 40.000 tn finttt shares. Sales of our bonds from similar sources, as denoted by the numerous "fu ture' transactions, also were large, ap proximating $6u0,000. Specialties, particularly the war shares, contributed more than their usual quota to the moderate total, although United States Steel led all others in its customary fashion. Crucible Steel came next with a gain of six points to SS?i, from which It fell back to S3 at the close. General Motors, which rose 21 points the preceding day, added 7 to that gain, selling at the high record of 248, but closed at 241. Electric Storage Battery, a newly listed issue, having some claims to recognition as a '"war contract" stock, rose 7 to 76 and other shares of less definite character made temporary ad vances of two to six points. Lowest prices w'ere registered in the final trading, when the market manifested a heavy- tendency. Total sales amounted to 655.000 shares. Trade advices reported additional price advances in iron and steel and crop news from the Northwest was of the sort to allay recent misgivings. Except tor a more free acceptance of mcn-ttiimc paper uy me oanjes, general busi ness conditions were without material change. Aside from the foreign offerings, trad ing in bonds was unusually diversified. To tal sales par value aggregated $3,380,000. United States bonds were unchanged on call. CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS.
