SPREAD IS TOO WIDE
California Hops Now Selling
at 15 Cents.
OREGON MARKET SLUGGISH
Buying Movement in Southern State
. 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. .

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.

GAINS ARE SLOWER
Stock Dealings Still Large, but
Advance Is Checked.
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. Rails partial
is recovered in the extensive short covering
ordinal dealings, and other important stocks
finished well above minlmums.
6hlDnlnnr shares were backward through
out. Marines showing gross declines of 2 to
8 points, with 14 for Atlantic. Gulf West
Indies. Mexicans, some or tne equipments,
minor Industrials and munitions denoted
liquidation, the feature of the latter class
bein Drlggs-Seabury, which made an abrupt
break of 17 points to 94 H.
The day's njws had little effect upon
market conditions. Recent sessions indi
cated increasing confidence of short inter
est. Rumors that financial institutions
were exercising closer scrutiny of collateral
offered for loans were helpful to the move
ment. Total sales amounted to 1.150,000
shares.
Bonds remained firm on larger and more
general offerings. Total sales, par value.
$5,170,000. United States bonds were un

RECORD PRICE IS PAID FOR LAMBS
Cottonwood Stockman Realizes 8 Cents on
- Big; Sale.
C6TTONWOOD, Idaho, Sept. JO. (Spe
cial.! 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.

POLK WHEAT YIELD IS HEAVY
Harvest In Rlckreall District Nets DO Bushels
Per Acre,
RICKREALL, Or., Sept. 20. (Special.)
The harvest, though lata. 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.
