The bop market is steady graining In strength, with enlargement of the Eastern demand. Buying is still confined chiefly to California for some reason that the deal ers here do not understand, but they be lieve that the Inquiry will soon be turned this way. It was reported yesterday that two Eugene lots, thoss of Anderson. G5 tales, and Hardy, 60 bales, bad been bought by T. A. Livesley & Co. at 11V4 and H cents. There were also reports of 12 cents being offered in this state. Twelve cents was freely bid In 'Western AVashington, but growers would not sell.

In the country blue brew ing barley was sold at $33 to $34 f. o. b. It was .reported that one exporter has the barley supply closely bought up here. The wheat market was rather weak. Bids in the Interior were generally reduced a cent from Saturday. The car shortage Is keeping buyers out of the market. They figure that they have all the wheat bought that they can ship by the first of the year. Foreign crop conditions, as reported by Broomhall are as follows: Inited Kingdom Weather la now more favorable, and about five-sevenths of the wheat has been harvested. In the southern districts ploughing has a fair start. France Weather has been unfavorable, but wheat is all harvested and threshing Is slow, owing to scarcity of labor. Early sam ples show fair quality, and movement of new wheat is increasing, but still very mod erate. Foreign - arrivals are good and meet ing ready absorption. Stocks moderate. Germany Crop prospects are considered favorable. Loss of Danubian supplies further Increases the food difficulty. Russia Rains are general and hindering completion of harvest and ploughing. Estl7 mates of yields are being reduced, and It la believed that official figures are much too high. Old reserves are abundant of all grain, but the quality is unsatisfactof y, as much -sumed locally and for seed. Prices are ad rancing. Stocks at north ports and also the Black Sea are moderate, as It Is not be lieved that straits will be reopened to enable shipments this season, and therefore move ment is light everywhere Argentine Drouth continues over a wide area, but there are no damage claims of im portance. Some rain has fallen in parts. "Wlyat offers are very light. Australia Weather fine and crop con tinues to improve on largely reduced acre age. Government steamers are commencing to joaa, ana tnere is some cnartering oe new steamers, and shipments are estimated to in crease moderately. India Weather favorable. Punjab reports eood rains.

Sept. 25. (Special.) Unusually large yields of red clover seed are reported from Yamhill County - fields this year, the farm of Dave Klrby. of Belle vue, producing 90 bushels from nine acres, and Duncan Ross, east of McMlnnville, threshing an average of nine bushels to the acre. By a strict adherence to the plan of clipping the first crop at a given stage of Its growth, as suggested by the Oregon Agricultural College, the farmers successfully have - combated the ravages of the clover seed midge, which a few years ago threatened the destruction of the clover seed industry In the Willamette Valley.

STOCK SALES HUGE Biggest Day's Trading in Wall Street for Nearly Decade. NEW RECORDS NUMEROUS Steel Soars to 120, but Does Not Retain Its Gain Other Advances Largely Sacrificed "in Clos ing Minutes of Session. NEW YORK, Sept 25. All records In point of activity for nearly a decade were surpassed on the Stock Exchange today, when 2.25O.O00 shares, exclusive of count less "odd lots." changed hands to the ac companiment of numerous new high rec ords. Many of these gains were sacrificed In the last hour, more particularly the last 13 minutes, when a selling movement as vast as It was unexpected caused a shrink age of almost six points. United states Steel, in which dealings again were on an almost Incredible scale, dropped from 120. its new maximum achieved in the forenoon, to 114i. closing at 115. a net loss of two points after a gross gain of three points. Coppers, which .rivaled Steel in promi nence and strength, .with new records for Anaconda. Utah, Inspiration and several lesser issues, also broke abrutly. though. In some Instances, retaining a part of their advance. Reading, also included in the list of im portant stocks that found a new high level at 115H, yielded two-tnirda of its rise In the closing price of 113. Other rails, which hnd manifested strength, notably Union Pacific, St. Paul, New York Central and the coalers, fell away In the receding movement. Motor shares, like Maxwell and Stutz. and Central Leather, all of which had broken into new high ground, capitulated to the weight of the selling. Gent-ral news lost none of its recent fa vorable tenor, money rates showing an even greater ease. Western freight move ments wtre thi'ad of last year and that section seems to have recovered from the effects of threatened labor troubles. Bonds were firm on an expansion of dealings. Total sales, par value, $4,850,000. United States bonds were unchanged on call. CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS. Closing Sales. High. Low. bid.
