Kspected to Spread to Jforth- ' west Soon Record In- ' crease in. Beer Sales. The California hop market Is booming. The price haa been run up toslo cent and fcuylng- ta on a very large scale, At the same time, the market tor new bops liwOregon and Washington la almost neglected by Eastern buyers. The trade here is at a loss to ex plain the reason. Some of - the dealers-' be lieve it is due ta erroneous reports sent East am to the Quality of Northwestern . hops, while others think the movement in Call lorn la Is purely speculative. Whatever may be the reason, there la a spread of 6 or 7 cents between the price of California and Oregon hops. There Is no reason for such a wide differential, as the quality of the Oregton crop has been found to be good. in spite of the poor appearance it made before picking started. Furthermore, there Is some mold in the California crop this year, as shown by samples that have been received here. r - The brewing business In the East (s large and thta mayiave stimulated the brewery demand for Western hops. Beer sales In the United States In August Increased 1.42,735 barrels over the same month last year. This la a SO per cent sain and is the biggest on record. This one month's beer Increase means a larger hop consumption by 9000 bales. The trade Is In hopes that the East ern demand will soon turn to hops grown In this state. At any rate It Is certain that prtces t In Oregon must soon advance, or California prices decline. Eeven thousand bales of California hops have been sold In the. past few days. The highest price, 15 cents, was paid for 600 bales of Sonomas yesterday. Mendocino hops were sold at 134 centa and Eacramentos at 10 H cents. The first sales of Oregon clusters were re Ported yesterday at 8 to cents. The Huk riede crop of 100 bales was sold at Eugene and Seavey bought a carload at Brownsville. Ten cents was offered for Yakima hops and turned down by the grower. The McCloIIan crop of 125 bales of fuggles at Salem was bought yesterday by McNeff Bros. This Is about the last lot of tussles left In the state. . NO CirEAP SUGAR IX SIGHT "Triers Likely to Continue High as Ixjng as War "Lasts. Cuba Is about through with the present crop .of sugar. Only one central Is still grinding on the Island. This crop has been 8.000,000 tons as compared with 2,592.000 for J913. Of this crop 693,000 tons have gone direct from Cuba to Europe, which Is 400,000 tons more than European exports from Cube the previous season. In ad dition, a large amount of Cuban sugar has been sent to Europe from this country, so that a larger crop has not Increased the supply of Cuban sugar available for con sumption in the United States, says a. news bulletin Just Issued by Reuskorf, Lyon & v., . t xvisi. sa)a: Recently there has been a radical decline In sugar prices, due largely to the weight .of domestic beet crop on the market, but this crop furnishes such a small percentage t the total consumption. Its influence on prices has to be only tem-jorary. Prices have started to advance again, and It looks like an advance of a cent & pound must come soon. The weather In Cuba thus far has been very favorable to the growing crop, but complaints are sure to be heard later on but the market will be in position to respond quickly to any suggestion of crop damage. There is no possibility of any sugar shortage In this country, but at the same time there can be no low-priced sugar as long as the war lasts, and Just now peace seems to be as far off as ever. There has developed since the war started a very active future market In sugar contracts, and fortunes have been made on the long side of the market. That side Is the one that seems to hold out -the best inducements at the present time." MOST CK.1TXS ARE NOW HARVESTED Wheat Tlelds Continue Satisfactory Other Crops In Good Condition. ToUowing Is a ' summary of crop con ditions In Oregon for the .week ended Sep tember 10, 1916, as reported to the local office of the Weather Bureau by special correspondents throughout the state: The warm, dry weather that prevailed throughout the week was very favorable tor all agrtoultural operations, fruif pick lng and harvesting. Most grains are now harvested, and threshing Is progressing though It has been finished In a few sec tions. Wheat yields continue satisfactory, and . the quality is good. Other crops, generally, ' are reported in good condition. Hops have .been plc&ed and the average yield and quality are fair. The ahlpping of Fall ap y plea In carload lota has oommenced, and V most all fruit is In fine condition. Prune drying Is progressing rapidly; the smaller orchards are about through picking while the large ones are only half done. The crop Is large and the prunes are of good quality, yfiugar beets and broccoli are reported doing ' well and the beets will soon be ready to gather On the ranges feed, generally. Is holding out well and stock is in excellent con dition. Some cattle are being marketed. The cutting of third and fourth-crop alfalfa in southern counties is under way. Frost on the 10th damaged corn in south western counties and on the 14th killed some in Grant County; In the western counties most corn continues green and growing and a heavy crop is probable. In most sections potatoes are ready, but the ground is too dry for digging. As a rule, agricultural operations are backward for the season of the year. TERRITORY WOOLS IN BIG DEMAND Mills Buy Heavily in Boston Market at Strong Prices. The feature of the past -week in the ' Boston wool market was the big turnover .' in territories. One large mill is reported to have bought between 1.500,000 and 2,000,000 pounds of Montana wool. These wools are said to have cost the buyer 34 to 86 cents in the grease,, as they Included both fine staple and half-blood clips. 6coured values are estimated at 85 to 87 cents, though the staple Is supposed to have cost the Buyers 68 to 90 cents., , ' ' The above were not the only Important transactions of Territory wools. One house Is reported to iave sold about 1,000.000 ponnds and another fully 800,000 pounds. These transfers Include both original and graded lots; though the bulk of the demand haa been for staple and half-blood clips. Anything showing a reasonable proportion of staple wool Is In demand. Clothing wools have been in fair demand, the best lots bringing fully 80 cents clean. Among the reported sales have been 900 bags original Dakota wool at 84 to 87 cents in the grease, 20,000 pounds Idaho three-elghths-blood clothing at private terms and 800,000 pounds various grades at private terms. - Texas wool continues to move in a mod erate way, recent sales having been made on the basis of SO to 83 cents for eight months'. ' Sugar Will Advance Today. A 10-cent advance In all grades of refined sugar was announced by Jobbers yesterday, to go into effect this morning. The change is due to a similar advance in Eastern markets. UNDERTONE OF EGG- MARKET ITB.M Butter Is Steady With iood Demand for AU Grades. : . " .

SHORTS BECOMING ACTIVE Indications of Less Public Interest in Wall-Street Speculation Mu nitions Are Under Pressure. Coppers Are Strong. NEW TORE, Sept 20. Diminution of public Interest, coupled with persistent bear ish encroachment, brought about unsettle ment In today's stock market. Operations ran beyond 1.000.000 shares for the 12th con secutive full session, largely at the expense of Quoted values. Recessions were not severe, except in some highly speculative issuea The leadinsr conners were consistently strong. Anaconda rising 3 points to the new record of 944, while utan, snowing for its recent dividends. aggregating S points, also made a new maximum at 87 tt. Preesure was directed agalnet the rails soon after the strong opening, later ex tending to United States Steel, which fluc tuated between 108 and 107, closing at 107. a net loss of point.

A . new record price for lambs has been established in this district by the sale of the C. J. Hall lot ot 2880 head at 8 centa per pound. The lambs will average about 80 pounds, which means that Mr. Hall received about $6.40 per head, or approximately $18,000 for his Spring lambs. Yesterday over $30,000 worth of livestock was shipped by special train from points on the Camas Prairie Railroad. The greater portion ot the shipments was cattle. Prac tically all the cato were shipped by John Rothlesberg to Carstens, of Seattle, and the price paid was from $5.73 to $6.26 per hun dred pounds. The price paid for hogs this week was 9 cents. Cottonwood delivery. ' Beef cattle are reported plentiful and range-fattened steers will be on the market for several weeks. Cattle have been on the Summer mountain ranges since June, and during that period there has been an unusu ally heavy growth of good grass on the Winter ranges adjacent to tba Snake, Clear water and Salmon Rivers. Stock' hogs are reported plentiful Jn all sections, but grain Is too high for much feeding on the prairie and there will be few fat hogs to be found in the upper country after the stubble-fattened stock has been sold. ' Linn Prairie Crops Threshed. LEBANON, Sept.- 20. (Specisl.) This week will about clcse up the threshing on the prairie lands of Linn County, and the grain unlhreshed in the hills Is largely in the stack. The oats crop is considerably off color on account of rain and some fields are mildewed to some extent. The yield of oats has been unusually heavy and at the pre vailing good prices tha grain crop will turn loose In this county - a large surplus of money, the effects of which are already be ing felt in easier loans. The good condition of farmers generally has stimulated farm sales in the valley. WHEAT BEARS WIN Chicago Fluctuations Due to Roumanian War News. LAST PRICES ARE WEAKEST Opening; Boise Wiped Out With Re port of Victory Over Bulgarians. Day's Export Business Is Disappointing. ( CHICAGO, Sept. 20. Reports that the armies of Roumanla were in a perilous po sition tended to lift tho price of wheat to day, but word of a Roumanian victory near the Black Sea acted later as an offset. The market closed steady at $1.49 vk for Decem ber and $1.50 for May, and with the mar ket as a whole feo off to hio up. as com pared with yesterday's finish. Corn closed unchanged to feHo lower, oats at an ad vance of H to o and provisions to 13 cents higher. Bulls In wheat seemed to be disposed for a while to put considerable stress on ad missions from London that Roumanla had been caught at a disadvantage by Bulga rian attacks in the Southeast. These ad missions were coupled here with Russian advices that at best It was not expected the Dardanelles would be opened in tune to al low any shipments this season. Besides, gossip was current that foreign governments were likely to give preference now to wheat from the United States In order to forestall a possible embargo in this country later on. However, vessel rates from Argentina showed a decline, and it was denied that Holland had purchased any of the cargoes recently ordered shipped from Argentina to New York. Subsequently announcements that the Roumanians had defeated the Bul garians and Teutons In Dubrudja turned sentiment more and more to "the side ot the bears, virtually wiping out all the early gains. Disappointment over the comparative smallness of export business counted iate In the day as a handicap on the wheat bulla The total was only 400.000 bushels. In the last half hour, especially, there was much unloading on the part of the early buyers, led by two of the largest houses on change. - Fine weather eased down the corn mar ket. The lata weakness of wheat also was an Incitement to sellers, notwithstanding that frost was predicted for the Northwest tonight. Oats hardened In sympathy with an ad vance at Winnipeg. There was a good cash inquiry here, but shipping was restricted by scarcity of cars. Although . provisions at first weakened, owing to depression in the hog market, an upward swing took place later. Influenced by an aggressive demand for lard. 8ome of the purchasing was ascribed to packers. Leading futures ranged as follows: WHEAT. Open. High. Low. Close.

Is approaching the end, and Polk County has experienced a successful growing, season. Threshers this week will complete their run in late Spring grain and most hopyards will finish picking. The grain acreage was exceptionally large this season, with a decreased acreage plant ed to clover. Rlckreall and Central Polk County oats ran 90 bushels an acre in spots. C. Lorence, of Monmouth, harvested 2900 bushels of oats from 30 acres; his wheat yielded 83 bushels an acre. The Perrydale district registered heavy vetch yields. Clover hulling Is now In progress and dairymen are storing corn and beets for Winter use. The grain harvest is the latest for many years, extending well Into clover hulling. Hopgrowers are working on a narrow mar gin of profit In most instances. Contracts at low prices have led to extreme economy In production. With the cost in producing esti mated at 10 cents a pound, growers who for merly sold at high figures and secured suffi cient profit, are struggling to overcome the cost figure. The supply of pickers was short and the harvest somewhat delayed. The farmers are busier than ever this Fall. In Southwestern Po!k County, be tween Monmouth and Airlle, a few In stances occur In which grain and clover are still In the field, dairying preparation Is due, and the prune picking time has come. The short labor supply, feit keenly In mid Summer, has been augmented In numbers lately, due to tho completion of the early harvest work. WEATHER FAVORS GRAIN HARVEST Corn in Many States Damaged by Frost in ' Fast Week. WASHINGTON, Sept. 20. Another ween of generally favorable weather haa carried forward rapidly, grain harvesting snd threshing oven most of the country, the Weather Bureau's weekly crop bulletin says today, although rain early last week caused some delay and damaged grain still In the shock In West Central Minnesota. Fall plow ing is going t head satisfactorily except in some of the Central and Northern states, where tha ground still is too dry. Frost did considerable damage during the week to the late corn In Indiana, Illinois, Iowa. Minnesota. North and South Dakota, Montana and Oregon. In most of tha Middle and Southern states good crops are expected, but corn Is developing slowly in New Eng Isnd and Michigan. , Except in North and South Carolina, where the weather was too cool, good prog ress was made in picking and ginning cot ton. Because of the hot and dry Summer white potatoes are only fair to poor in many Mo tions and almost a failure In Ohio. Reports a tobacco are favorable gen erally. DEMAND FOR WHEAT IS SMALLER Lack ot Interest Shown Foreigners and Eastern Millers. Wheat trading was light at all points In the country yesterday. The export and Eastern demand a as small. .At the Mer chants' Exchange bluesiem was the only firm feature. Bids were advanced 1 to 1 cents, but buyers and sellers could not get together. Club and red wheat bids were lowered 1 cent. Oats and barley aero dull and about steady In price. Bradstreet's gives the visible wheat de crease at 7.250.O0O bushels, the corn de crease at 1,105,000 bushels and the oats de crease at 3.2S1.000 bushels.
