HARVEST IS NOW GENERAL With Ideal Weather Conditions the Threshing of a Good Grade ol Grain Is Anticipated Future ' of Market a Question. In spite of a slight lowering in wheat quotations in chicasro yesterday a rising market was experienced- in Portland. Tha rise was all the way from 2 cents, for the higher grades, to 1 cent. Bids at the noon session of the Merchants Exchange yester day ranged from ?1 for red Russian to as high as $1.10 for bluestem. . What the future of the market will be is till a question which is causing a great deal of speculation among dealers. Some are of the opinion that the price of wheat will necessarily go still higher, pointing out that conditions are practically similar to those obtaining last year. Added to that, present indications are that the crop in the United States this year will be much shorter. The damage to the wheat crop In various sections, it is pointed out, will tend to curtail the yield even more. Other dealers are inclined to take a more pessimistic tiew relative to the possibilities tor record prices for their wheat. The present advance is due primarily to the re ports of damaged crops in various sections, and should later reports prove this damage to have been less than originally announced there is possibility of & slump. With relative prices for wheat in the East and Portland as at present prevailing Portland dealers claim that It la practically impossible for them to do any business with the Chicago market. This Is due to the fact that they are compelled to ship By rail and pay the higher railroad freight charges. The advance in wheat quotations In Eng land is said to have as yet had no effect In the relieving of this situation, owing to the fact that the rise there baa been too low. 1 , A startling development in the situation yesterday was the advance of flour 40 cents a barrel with the opening of business yes terday morning. An advance of 20 cents had been anticipated, having- been announced on the preceding day by local millers. This, however, was doubled. The sensational advance In flour followed imilar action taken by the millers of Puget fiound. The price of patents is now $5.60, which is the same as that asked a year ago. Reports reaching Portland yesterday con firmed to a certain extent those previously received of damage to crops in various sec tions. Nothing of a definite nature, how ever, has yet been received. Ideal weather conditions for harvesting are reported from various sections of the Pacific States. As a consequence, the threshing of a good grade of wheat is an ticipated. The bai-vest is now quite gen eral in Eastern Oregon, Eastern Washing ton and Idaho, and the cutting of early -aheat has begun in the Willamette Valley. Terminal receipts in cars were reported by the Merchants Exchange yesterday as fol lows: Wheat Barley Flour Oats Hay Portland, Thur. 4 10 "Year airo . 13 824 5o7 7 14 807 BOB 11 13 404 274 1 17 4'J 1 181 HO 1 ' "l9 20 4 201 5 10 SO 140 20 Season to date..

The condition of the hop market at the present time is one which is causing not a little concern to growers and dealers throughout the state. Present Quotations range from 8 to 10 cents for last year's crop and what little contracting is being done for this year's liops is at 11 cents. Possibilities are not bright for any material advance over those ciuotations unless unforeseen conditions should a.rise.', There is a little demand however at thoso prices. The crop In Oregon, it is estimated, will fee 110,000 bales which is practically the ea ma as last year's crc?. Washington also will probably have a yield about the same as that of last year, which was 55,000 bales. In California the crop this year will be probably 110,000, which is 7000 balea less than last year's crop. The import prohibition on hops recently made by England, it ia believed, will aid materially In keeping the price of hops down this year. About 60,000 bales are annu ally sent to England principally from this coast. War conditions will also affect the Jirfce, as they did last year, unless the con flict In Europe should be brought to a speedy conclusion. Hop picking will become general In Cali fornia about August 10 to 15. Picking of the earlier varieties of hops should begin in Oregon about the latter part of August. Picking will be a little later than usual, owing to the backward season. The hops in Oregon are reported to be in trood condition at the present time, weather uaving oeen zavoraoie. THE PACBXMG SEASON IS NEAR Shipment of Fears From Rosoburg to Begin Next Week. ROSEBl'RG, Or., Aug. 8. (Special.) ;witn tne arrival or supplies with which to begin packing early next week, local frult erowers and the distributing agencies located here have begun preparations for the local fruit season. It is expected that approxi mately 00 carloads of apples and more than 0 oars of pears will be shipped from this vicinity wiinin mo next lew months. Two different selling associations will be represented this year. The Producers' Fruit Company expects to handle about 23 cars of apples and pears in the Winston district. while the bmpqua Fruit Union, acting for John Nix &. Co., of Chicago, will take care f the remainder of the crops, produced chiefly in fciaenoower and Garden Valley. Packing of pears at Winston will begin auonuay. rOt,K GRAIN HARVEST IS EATE Acreage In Wheat, Vetch and Oats Is Large. BUEXA VISTA, Or.. Aug. 3. (Specials Grain harvest in Poik County is the latest la years, ihis season. Although binders commenced work late last week, most of the crop is still standing. Last year thresh ing began in most farming districts Au srust 3. The cloudy weather has prolonged Che ripening period. A largs acreage is In wheat, oats and tea. The bpring sats crop is exceptionally rate and a stop of several days between -Fall and Spring crops is probable. Chicken Receipts Small. Receipts of chickens have been some what light in Portland for several days. The demand, however, is not targe and the prices have remained practically station ary. The lack ef demand Is always an in cident in the Summer trade and is caused to a great extent by the vacation season. Farmers arc now -busy handling their crops and as a consequence do not take the trouble to ship in their chickens. Vnusual Trade in Salmon. - An unusual trade in canned salmoa-for shipment to the East is now reported. This Is due to the proposed advance in freight rates which will materially affect the ship ment of that product. Present rates on can lied salmon are 60 cents, a hundred pounds, and the proposed rate which goes into effect September 1 is S3 cents. The result Is that an effort is being mads to supply a large part of the demand by ship ments before the new rate is in force. Canned Milk Market Xlrm. As the result of an unusually heavy an ticipated demand by European governments for canned milk the market for that product Is unusually firm. . Price are declared to be the highest on record, and any further advance would make it necessary for re tailers to advance the price per can. The demand for raw milk is also becoming un usually heavy.

IARKET IS FLUCTUATING Lea din ST Motor Shares Decline 2 to 5 Points and 5-Point Recession Is Kecorded in Bethle hem Steel Quotations. FTW YORK. Auz.J. Irrecularitv was the characteristic today in. the market, which, like the sessions of the early week, was largely if not wholly under control of tne tracing elements. That faction again made the most of the uncertainty now prevailing in the railroad world and various lines of industry to depress prices, end the net re sult was moderately favorable to that side of the account. There were further gross declines of 2 and points in leadinar motor shares., while ugars and petroleums were materially af fected by adverse trade conditions. Munitions and equipments were not ma terially altered. Aside from another five- point recession in Bethlehem Steel and mod erate pressure upon Crucible and LacKa wanna Steels, United States Steel traversed n extremely narrow radius, but naraenea with others of its class on short covering. Shipping Issues as a group were consist ently firm to strong and infused vitality to the later deadenings when the more se vere losses of the forenoon were largely retrieved.

Grain Men In Winnipeg; Say Prospect Are Good for JLm. Arcrsge Yield. ' WINNIPEG. An. 3. Assertions by irl rate grain experts that black rust and blight have caused serious damage to the wheat crops of Manitoba and Saskatche wan are denied In official statements Is sued by the respective provincial govern' merits. While the unofficial reports declare th wheat crop virtually wiped out in some districts, the Manitoba Department of Ag-rl culture. In a statement today, says bui 15 pc cent of tire Spring wheat area in this DrovLnce is affected. The -basKatcbe wan government has denied all reports of black rust, but says tnere is some red rusi in a few southern districts, where lncon sequential damage baa b-een cone. The Manitoba government says the af fected fields are mostly In the Red River Valley and Its affluents, between Winnipe an-i the international boundary, an area CO miles devp and extending west as far as aioraen. , Everywhere else In the province excellent conditions are saia to exist. Even taklne into consideration the on official reports, there is every prospect ot a good, average yield tor the entire ter ritory. local grain men say. Alberts is proceeding to harvest the best Fall wheat crop in her history, and there is no carnage in ner large Spring whai crop. Mer government estimates a S0-.0OO, 00O bushel wheat crop, which ts double tne production or tnree years ago. WHEAT ADVANCES AGA1I WEAKENED EASTERN MARKET HAS NO EFFECT HERE, f V Blucste-m Price Quoted at 91.10 Flour Alo Goes Vpwari 40 Cental Per Barrel. Another rise In the quotations for wheat was recorded in the Portland market yesterday, prices advancing from 1 cent to 2 cents- on the differ ent frrades. Red Russian reached and bluestem as high as $1.10. r This advance was made in spite of reports of a weakened market in Chi cago and the r.ast- Whether the advance will continu dealers were unable to predict ester day. It was admitted there was a. pos sibility ror a slump uiiowing a rapi rise. The shorter crop this year, how ever, added to the damage reported, it was felt by many, would tend to make still higher prices prevail. The cutting of the early wheat has been started in the v iiiaraette Valley. and harvesting is general in Eastern Oregon, eastern Washington and Idab Ideal weather conditions are reported. A feature of the market situation yesterday was the advance of 40 cents in the price of flour. Patents are now 15.60 a barrel. HEAVY SALES -MADE Wheat Market Loses - Early Advance and Closes Weak.

Rat Catcher Misses Rodent And Smashes Window. Early-Hornlnc Attack on Domestic Peat Ends Ulssstronsly fr Mit Clerk. T the hour when window cleaners arise ta polish the panes of down town buildings u. w. burner, nign clerk of the Madras Hotel, formed an offensive alliance with one of that fraT ternity. The object of their combined attack was a large gray rat. The rat evidently had been "out with the boys," for he lingered on the pavement, his manner puzzled and ab stracte-sV, as the window-cleaner came whistling down the street. The night clerk saw the rash rodent at the same time. Armed with brooms, the two sought to cut off. the rat's retreat and flatten him-out. Despite the evidence of his long and venerable whiskers, the rat proved both nijnble and sagacious. H ducked and dfdged the Haying brooms. He scurried and lied a, gray flash on the eray pavement. . At length chance seemed to favor the night clerk, but lust for an Instant. He swung his broom up for the coup d grace, stepped backward, tripped an crashed through a plate glass window 24X3S, 4n the vacant store bullding-a 413 Washington street. In the diver sion which attended this providential catastrophe the rat whisked from th field of battle. Patrolmen Collins and H. W. Wright. who had been coined spectators of th fray, now stepped forward and an nounced themselves. - Mr. Shuler. his right elbow gashed by the glass, as Bured them that he . would attend to replacing the broken window.
