FLOUR BUYERS WAIT
New-Crop Market Is Not Yet
Opened.
FIRST PRICE MAY BE $4.70
Prospects for Export Trade Are TTn
' .certain Oriental Business Ham
pered by Abnormally High,
Kreiglit Rate.
There ha been no general selling move
ment aa yet in new-crop flour. The large
buyers are holding off until the last mo
ment. In view of the unsettled condition of
the wheat market.
In milling circles It is believed that new
flour will open around $1.70, if wheat values
maintain, about the present level. A few
mall lots are reported to have been ot
tered, and it is said one mill has named a
price of $4.60. but there is little interest yet
in the market in any Quarter.
Prospects for export trade are still un
certain. European buyers name prices
lower than sellers here are disposed to con
' sider. The Oriental buyers are also holding
off, and Indicate no Intention of entering
tho market in the Immediate future.
Against trade with the Orient is the ab
. normally high freight rate of $S now quoted
by the few lines that remain in operation.
Domestic flour business in old-crop pat
ents is of seasonable, small proportions, and
the market is maintained at the customary
premium over the probable price of new
crop offerings.
I-'lour trade conditions serve to keep mill
ers out of the wheat market and with th
exporters also more or less inactive, wheat
trading is naturally at a low ebb. Local
dealers assert they never saw a season
when the grain market was so quiet at thus
time of year. At the Merchants' Exchange
session buyers and sellers were 3 cents to
C cents apart in their prices. Bluestem bids
were raised a cent, and October forty-fold
was a!so a cent higher, but otherwise the
market was but little changed from Thurs
day. An easy tendency pervaded the coarse
grain market.
Argentine wheat shipments for the week
wore inti.OOO bushels, against 200.000 bushels
last week and 12S.000 bushels a year ago.
Bradstreets reports exports for the week
t 3.72:1,963 bushels of wheat and 177,024,
bushels of corn.
The ?ora yield of Roumanla Is estimated
at 10S. 000,000 bushels, compared with 107,

PRICE CHANGES ARE IRREGCLAR
Alterations In Frlnelpal Commodity Markets
About Equally Divided.
Price changes in the past week in the
principal commodity markets were almost
equally divided, of the 7ft alterations that
appear in the 322 quotations received by
Dun's Review, 31 being advances as against
37 declines.
There was considerable Irregularity In
movements of foodstuffs, although no very
Important charges occurred. Dairy products
tv ere favorably affected by a more active
demand, amd almost all kind3 of butter,
cheese and eggs scored moderate advances.
On the other hand, prospects of very large
crops of grain and a light movement abroad
resulted in easy conditions In wheat, corn
and oats, while lower prices were named
on some brands of flour.
Although there was no particular change
In live meats, beef tended upward, while
hogs and sheep were rather easy and some
reductions were made In provisions. The
tone in the hide markets was reactionary.
and though quotations show only sllgnt
changes in one or two varieties, buyers re
fuse to operate except at a considerable
recession from the record prices of a short
time ago. The strength of leather, how
ever, is very well maintained on practically
all grades, and in some instances holder
appear Indifferent as to trading at present
values.
The steady Improvement In iron and steel
market conditions Is reflected in a harden
ing of quotations all along the line, and the
Increasing frequency with which premiums
are being paid as an inducement for prompt
delivery. There was a notable revival at
activity and strength In !ead, spelter and
copper, but some decline appeared In tin
and antimony.
Cot ton moved up sharply and raw wool
continued firm, but burlaps, coffee, prunes,
Jute, rubber, spices and turpentine were in
clined to weakness. Lower prices for some
kinds of fruits and vegetables, owing to
overabundant supplies, were in part off so:
by some scarcity and advance In others.
ORANGES MILL ADVANCE NEXT "WEEK
Good Demand for Pen dies and Grapes at
Steady Prices. x
There -was a good demand for peaches
yesterday at steady prices and grapes also

A mixed car of Tokays and Malagas is due

the rain and cooler weather.
Oranges will be fully 2.T cents a box high
er next week, owing to the advance in the
California market.
Sweet potatoes were scarce on the street.
but a car ia due today.
NO DEMAND YET FPU OREGON HOPS
Englhth Buyers Fail to Show Interest at
Prict-s Quoted.
The hop market still shows no signs of
a revival of activity. Prices are dally quoted
to buyers in lngiand. but meet with no re
sponse. The Kaatern market Is equally
dull. The only business put through here
was In small, unimportant lots at around
10 1 cents, which ao not represent market
values
Harvesting returns that are coming in are
In line with those received earlier, that the
Oregon crop will be a very short one. In
terest In the trade yesterday centered lu
the reports of hopyard fires Jn the Inde
pendence and Salem districts.
ECO MARKET IS TENDING UPWARD,
Country Reeeipts Decreasing and Storage
Slwka llrawn Von.
Kss receipts have been greatly reduced of
late and tho market has a strons upward
tendency. Increasing Quantities are being
withdrawn from storagw.
Conditions were unchanged in th butter
market y.-aterday. Fresh creamery ot all
kinds was firm and off grades weak.
There have been large arrivals of poultry
this week and the firm, prices lately realized
ar not now obtainable. Hens, especially
"Wt re weak yesterday, and most sales were
made at 14 cents. Buyers ot Springs wanted
only small sizes.
Country dressed veal was steady at 1
rents. Dressed poric waa weak at OtfDV
cents.
Live Mallard Ducks In Market.
A a industry of some importance in this
section is the raisin of wild Mallard ducks
for market. Ben Rothfos. who has a place
on Columbia Slough, is raising large num
bers of them and finds a ready sale for all
he brings in. A number of coops were sola
yesterday at the rate of $1S a dot en. .Be

FAIR MOVEMENT JX WOOL MARKET.
Interest Centers in Prices Realized at
London Sale.
BOSTON, Sept. 10. The Commercial Bul
letin will say tomorrow:
"There has been a fair movement of wool,
although no larpe individual contracts have
been closed during the past week. Interest
has been more noticeable since the opening
of the London sales, although the prices
made at th opening of the current series
had been largely discounted. The main
tenance of firm prices on the best wools
has been doubtless the most encouraging
phase of the London and Brisbane markets
to the holders of fine wools. Values locally

SHORTS COVER GENERALLY
Scarcity of Contract Stocks at Lead

vance in Market, Aided
by Ha in Reports;-
CHICAGO, Sept. 10. Wheat made a sharp
advance today, influenced chiefly by the
virtual exhaustion of contract stocka here
and at some other leading centers. After
opening; g to c up, with September at
tKi-feo to l dc and December at B2sc to iic,
the market scored a material further gain
all around. Corn finished Ha to tfftc
up and oats with a g-ain of to .c. In
provisions the outcome varied from 5c de
cline to a rise of lHci
High premiums for immediate delivery of
wheat caused general covering by shorts,
especially in the September option. St. Louis
and Kansas City reported similar condi
tions. Heavy rains which have interfered
with threshing and shipping and which were
again prevalent today led to assertions that
not for several months, if at all this season,
would there be any big accumulations oC
Winter wheat at tho principal primary
markets. No actual sales to Europe were
disclosed today, except 4O0.000 bushels of
Manitoba wheat at the seaboard. -
Corn ruled firm with wheat and as a
result 'of cooler weather, with some reports
of frost.
Oats were firm throughout the day, offer
ings irom the country proved very small.
Hogs at the highest prices of the year
tended to strengthen provisions. Packers,
though, turned seller and gave a check
to any decided upturn in lard or meats.

HOP MEN NEED PICKERS
YARDS IX FOLK COUNTY ARE
SHORT OX WORKERS.
Early S canon and Reduced Pay Are Re
garded as Cause, Although Some
Growers Pay 50 Cents.
RICK RE ALL, Or., Sept. 10. (Spe
cial.) Approximately 11,000 people are
now at work tlirougnout .foiK county
harvesting" the.ho crop, which has an
acreage estimated at 4000, of which In
dependence is the center. Portland
has sent about 3000 hoppickers this
year, .while others have come from
various parts o the etate. Inhabitants!
of every Polk County Vowti are at
work.
The county yield Is rrot the largest,
but the average over all the districts
Is normal. The fields near Indepen
dence are heavy in most cases. At
Rickreall and Dallas heavy yards are
bordered by light yards. In the Luck
ia.ru ute Valley, 12 miles south of Rick
reall. the yield was light. The district
between Falls City and., Monmouth, too,
showed a low average. Several of the
smaller yards already have completed
the harvest. The large fields will re
quire from 10 to 15 days to finish, picking-.
Growers estimate 225 persons the re
quired number for a 100-acre tract.
Practically every yard is seeking more
picker?, a shortage in the supply being
noted from the first of the season. The
cause is due to the early start, overlap
ping with grain harvest, the prune
picking and the fall from 50 to 40
cents a box in the price paid for pick
ing. However, some yards whose
owners are not members of the asso
ciation are paying: 50 cents.
POTATO CR0PSARE SHORT
Eastern Oregon Counties 'to Have
About Enough for Own XT sc.
LA GRANDE. Or, Sept. 10. (Spe
cial.) H. H: AVeatherspoon, Eastern
Oregon member of the State Horticul
tural Board, has completed a survey
of the potato and apple crops in sev
eral Eastern Oregon counties.
In Malheur he found that the new
crop will be exhausted by home con
sumption next month, due to a variety
of djseases which have infected the
potatoes of not only Eastern Oregon
but Southern Idaho. The crop in Union
County will be just about enough for
home consumption, while Baker, Wal
lowa and Umatilla County crops are
not so heavy. The apple crop, he found,
over the same area, is about 15 per
cent of normal.
