Good progress Is be- ing made with th e Oregon wheat harvest and the returns are better than w-re looked for at the begin ning of summer. Reporting on crop condi tions generally in the state, the weather bureau nays: "Harvest of winter wheat is almost com plete except near the coat and in the more elevated districts, and threshing Is well ad vanced. The yif-ld is generally better than was expected. In a few eastern localities tring wheat has shown some improvement since the rains of the preceding week, but in general the crop is mature and the greater part has betn harvested. Irrigated corn is making good growth, but unirrigated corn is gt-nt-rally in ne-d of rain. Sweet corn is fairly p!-nti:'ul in market. "Irrigau-d fruit is making good progress. Apples, where not irrigated, are in need of rain. Prunes are d ropping heavil y, and on the whole wlii be a IiRht crop, though some young orchards promise, good yields. In some pi a. res the leave s on old trees are showing the effect of drought. A heavy crop of pars is being harvested In Douglas county. Darly Crawford p'ach"s are ripen ing in t'matilla county. Picking of berries except evergreen blackberries is nearing completion. "Cutting of the second crop of clover is In progress. Cut t ini? of second -crop alfalfa continues in places. Alfalfa is growing well where well watered, but complaints of short age of water are increasing. Range feed was benfitd over v-ry limited areas in eastern counties by the rain of the preced ing week, but el pew here is dry and short, except In the higher mountains. Pome stock 1b being moved out ow ing to lack of feed and uatT, but there is lit tie .suffering. "Truck crops are pood where irrigated, but are generally in ned of rain. Potatoes are suffering from drought in many places, but where irrigated are doing well. fi'i.25 7.25 67.25 67.25 QUIET MARKET AT YARDS TEX LOADS ARE RECEIVED OVER NIGHT AT NORTH PORTLAND. LOCA I.

Following their usual custom. the Consolidated Exchange and the curb or outside market probably will take similar action. Brokers and commission houses generally still are far behind in their efforts to catch up with the congestion of office details re sulting from the tremendous activity ot- the last six months, particularly the enormous business of June and July. Dea'ings on the stock exchange so far this year approximate lR6.000.0lM) shares, or con siderably more than double the business for the corresponding period of 1918.

Trading on the stock exchange today was extremely super ficial and again restricted to specialties, apart from activity in equipments, oils and aiiied snares which hava been the prominent 1 features of recent sessions. While considerably in excess of yester- j day's moderate turnover, the volume of business afforded a striking contrast to the long succession of days when operations veragea l.ooo.OOO shares, occasionally run ning well beyond that Impressive total. The most reassuring feature of the ses sion was the greater east of money, call loans opening at 5 V to 04 per cent, but shading appreciably after midday on an overabundance of offerings. Excepting Baldwin Locomotive, wmcn ma te riaily augmented yesterday's substantial gain in the early hours on reports of fa vorable recapitulation, only to react abruptly later, and American Telephone, wnere a further decline of 5 points accomplished ad verse dividend rumors, there was little of an obvious character to furnish an incentive In either direction. Trading was most active and highly con fusing in th final hour, when stocks of the same class moved contrarily, an Irreg ular heavy tone prevailing at the close. Sales amounted to 950. 0OO shares. United States Steel and affiliated stocks and also the rails recorded minimum quota tions in the final reversal, the reaction among other leaders, including Crucible steel and Baldwin Locomotive, ranging from 3 to 6 points. British exchange rates were steady. Dm fresh weakness was shown by French and Italian remittances. High-grade bonds, notably railway issues. eased, the foreign group and the liberty issues also shading slightly. Total sales, par value. $11,850,000. Old United States bonds were unchanged on call.
