ADVANCES IN CALIFORNIA Heavy Dealings in Sonomas at Re ported Price of 1 1 Cents Pug gles Holding Steady Future of Market Is Uncertain. Kegardleas of -what may liappen to the hop market later, the position of the mar ket now Is strong. It Is true that prices are low, but they are better than those In dicated a week or two ago, and this en courages growers to hope for still better values. Buyers were offering- 9 cents yesterday at various points In the Willamette Valley. Fuggles remain firm at 12 cents. Among the latest sales of these were 68 bales by A. Martin, of Junction; 128 bales by Seavey, of Eugene, and two other Eugene lots, ag gregating 208 bales. These were all bought by McNeil Bros. The California hop market Is active and strong. Eeveral hundred bales of Sonomas were sold yesterday, the price reported to be around 11 cents. There was also a lively trade In Sacramentos at 8 to 9 cents. Dealers question whether these advanced prices In California will be maintained. The present buying appears to be for the pur pose of covering early sales, and when this business Is out of the way the real test of the market will come. Much will depend on whether or not the surplus of the Ameri can crop can be exported to England. As matters ' now stand the exports promise to be very smalL EMBARGO L1KELI TO CONTINUE Wool Dealers Have No Hopes of Getting Foreign Supplies. Great Britain la not likely to lift the em bargo on colonial wool soon, in the opinion of wool traders. Latest advices from Australia Indicate that embargo conditions will con tinue Indefinitely. Importers In the East seem to think that the Australian wool growers will not be disposed to bring any particular pressure to bear on the govern ment to allow American buyers to operate while Japan and Italy are so active and prices remain on a high level. There la no comfort to be found In either London or Brisbane by those who have been looking for lower prices. Occasionally a wool man is found who Is willing to predict that the present level will be found to be the top of the wave, but this evidently ls not the general belief of the trade. In the meantime, the market continues very firm. One Boston house is credited by the Transcript with the sale of nearly l.OUO.000 pounds of territory wool. Including lots of fine medium, and half-blood and three-eighths-blood combing. Other reported sales have Included 75.000 pounds common and braid territory at 36 cents, 800 bags 12 months Texas at 81 cents, 100 bags fine scoured No. 1 New Mexican wool at 75 cents, 50,000 pounds fine medium Utah at 27 cents, or 80 cents clean, and moderate lots of fine and fine medium Idaho, Wyo ming and Utah wools have not been moved In volume since the big transfer last month, and the market on them has not yet been established. Stocks of territory wool at Boston are now very large, and dealers are able to show an excellent selection, both in quality and variety of grades. Scoured values are staple territories being quotable at 86 to 96 cents, half-blood staple at 85 to 87 cento, three-eighths-blood staple at 80 to 82 cents, quarter-blood staple at -73 to 75 cents, fine clothing at 78 to 80 cents and fine medium clothing at 76 to 78 cents. COUNTRY WHEAT BEDS ARE STEADY Trade Is Quiet at All Interior I'olnts East .Is Lower, Wheat was quiet In all parts of the North west yesterday.

Conditions on Pacific Coast Improved by Favorable Crop Prospects and Hisb Prices. NEW YORK, Sept. 15. Dun's Review to morrow will say: In nearly all Important Industrial and mercantile lines the trend ls toward a fur ther Increase In activity and is exceptionally marked In some directions. Manufacturing plants are being operated to their capacity, the shortage in the supply of labor being practically the only deterrent to additional expansion. The demand for Fall merchandise hi en couragingly brisk and the general business sentiment is optimistic. In the Central states, the movement of commodities con tinues well sustained and reflects prosper ous conditions. In the South the inquiry for staple goods ls Increasingly active, while Western commercial centers report substan tial increases In business over last year On the Pacific Coast the favorable 'crop prospects in that region, together with the generajly high prices for agricultural prod ucts, are Indicative of still further progress. Retail trade drags at some points owing to labor controversies, but this condition is regarded as temporary and demand for Fall merchandise, as a whole, is maintained in volume that reflects an expanding purchas ing power on the part of the people gen erally Weekly bank clearings are $4,333,897,180.

SHARP ADVANCES SCORED Union Pacific and Otber Invest' mnit Shares Are at Highest Prices Since Outbreak of European War. NEW YORK. Sept. 15. The redeeming feature of today's market, quits apart from the absence of the wild and spectacular fluctuations of the preceding day. was the forward movement in high grade Investment-paying issues which gave the list a degree of much-needed strength. Trading was once more on a glgantlo scale, the total turnover of 1.270,000 shares, making the tenth consecutive full session In which dealings have run into seven fig ures. Almost two-score issues of various descrip tions touched levels well over any of the year and some, notably Union Paclflo, which made an extreme gain of 8H points to $1.46H. were at their medium prices since the war. Other potential leaders Included Southern Pacific, Great Northern, Northern Paclflo, Atchison and New York Central. The rise In these stocks. It was pointed out. may have been a belated recognition of their strong position as Indicated by the recent report of the Interstate Commerce Commission, showing that the leading rail ways of the country, for the first time In their history, piled up net earnings of mors than a billion dollars in the last fiscal year. Many Industrials and specialties made gains of 2 to 6 points, and Drlggs-Seabury, one of the newly-listed munitions, was con spicuous for its advance of almost to points to 113. United States Steel repeated Its high rec ord of 107 and affiliated shares, although Irregular at times, were strong in the main. Firmness was the only feature of the bond market on a moderate expansion of busi ness. Total sales, par value. $3,170,000. United States bonds were unchanged on call. CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS.

On the other hsnd. the bears msds much of . the fact that recent purchasing for the Greek government had turned out to be only half as large as had been supposed. Beside, the menacing Argentine erop out look, an enlargement of export sales In the United States had much to do wlta strengthening wheat prices here in the last hour. Frosts last night and more predicted for tonight carried corn values upgrade. Ad vances were checked by knowledge that a large percentage of the crop was out of danger.
