Mr. Kent's report says:
"Weather Conditions The first few days
ot August were about normal for that date,
but on the 12th the Portland weather bu
reau station recorded a maximum temper
ature ot 98 degrees, maximum tempera
tures ranging upward to 108 degrees being
reported from other portions of the state.
Rather high temperatures prevailed until
the. 24th when a light rainfall was recorded
at Portland. Unsettled weather followed
until the 30th. with a total precipitation
"at Portland of 1.25 inches (August nor
mal 0.65 inch). Reports Indicate more
or 'less rainfall all over the state during
the period mentioned. Threshing waa de
layed a few days but in 'full swing' on
August 30 and 31. No damage to cut
grain resulted further than a little discol
oration. There was a pretty heavy wind
one day which did some damage to stand
ing grain (of which thcro was but little),
also blew down considerable corn.
"Spring Wheat In the western part of
the state some very late sown spring wheat
was damaged by hot weather, but most of
this crop was pVctty well matured before
the occurrence of the hot weather. In
some of the counties In the eastern portion
ot the state there was considerable shriv
eling due to the heat.
"pats Fields that promised 40 to 50
bushels per acre have actually yielded 30 to
35 bushels. Tho green aphis waa fairly
abundant on oats during part of the grow
ing season, and producers are ot the opin
ion that this condition cut down the pros
pective yield, borne late sown oats were
badly shriveled as a result of mid-August
temperatures.
Totatocs Reperts Indicate some falling
off in condition of the state potato crop
during August, although some late plant
ings were materially benefited by the
August rainfall. The Oregon crop still
gives promise of nearly 6.000,000 bushels.
'Miscellaneous The number of hogs on
band for fattening, compared with the
number on hand last year. Is estimated
at 05 per cent for Oregon and 01 per cent
for the United States. Condition of some
ot the minor crops of the- state Is esti
mated as follows: Pasture, 81 per cent;
field peas, 8S per cent; field beans. 87
per cent; tomatoes. 02 per cent; cabbage,
00 per cent; grapes. 70 per cent; peaches,
production, 25 per cent; onions, 02 per
cent.
"Hops In the hop producing counties
picking was pretty generally under way
during the week beginning September 6.
While most yards have a good crop, only
a vry light yield Is being obtained from
others. County assessors' reports already
turned In to the state tax commission show
a total acreage of "old hops' of 8163 acres
and 'baby hops' 2803 acres. A few hun
dred acres will probably be added when all
counties have reported. Marlon and Polk
counties combined report 5533 acres of
old hops and 1587 acres of baby hops.
"Prunes Prunes have matured rapidly
of late and picking will start earlier than
was expected a month ago. A few driers
will begin operation ' during the present
week. Much of the fruit will be of large
size, owing to a light crop on many trees,
and the favorable growing conditions of
late. The crop as a whole will doubtless
be close to a record-breaker, owing to
much new acreage coming Into bearing in
recent years."
EXPORTERS NOT BUYING WHEAT.
Europe Looking to Canada for First
Supplies.
Wheat tilds at the Merchants Exchange
wero sharply higher than the day before,
hut reports from the country told of little
buying. Export demand appears to be
lacking. The tenor of he day's news from
the east was unfavorable and a setback In
prices is expected today. The English
buying commission continues out of the
American market, confining its purchases
to Manitoba and other English possessions
and tho continental countries are a!eo Ig
noring American wheat, buying in Canada
and Manchuria.
Five thousand bushels of September eoft
white were told on the local board at
13.44. or 4 cents more than was bid on
Wednesday. Hard white bids wore raised
A oents, white cluTj 4 cents, hard winter 7
cents, northern spring 0 cents and red

The coarse grain market averaged
lower. Barley bids were reduced $1, corn
SOof il, and September white oaa 75
cents. but fecptember gray bids were
raised tl.
Weather conditions in the middle west,
as wired from Chicago: "Kansas City
raining throughout the southwest. St.
Louis had 3 inches of rain yesterday; brll
llant now. Rains last nlgrrt In Illinois,
Iowa, Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska.'
The weekly weather and crop report
said; "Relatively low temperatures are
delaying tho maturity of tho corn crop. In
Nebraska it needs one to three weeks
favorable weather to put It out of danger
of killing frost. With normal weather 42
per cent of tho Iowa crop will be safe by

future deliveries of wheat, most of the
demand coming from houses with seaboard
connections. After the upturn in values,
though, had reached the highest level for
some time past, the market beiii to act
tired. Then came advices that foreign
demand at the seaboard was poor. Bulls
were also handicapped by pressure from
cash interests on all the hard spots in the
late dealings.
Corn advanced sharply at one time with
wheat, but averaged lower, influenced
mainly by the record-breaking figures in
the government report as to corn.
Oats were firm.
Export business, together with higher
quotations on hogs, lifted provisions.
The Chicago market letter received yes
terday by Overbeck Sc Cooke company of
Portland said: 1
Wheat There was an active demand for I
futures early in the session, stimulated by
the government report issued after the
cloee yesterday, which showed a reduction
of 25,000,000 bushels In the spring wheat
crop. The bulk of the selling appeared to
be in the nature ot hedging, with little
desire to make speculative sales. All in
terest at the moment centers on the" ac
tivity ot exporters, who today showed a
disinclination to follow the advance, as
bias were 6 to 10 cents out of line and
no new business consummated. Premiums
being paid at the seaboard are about 10
cents lower than they were the first of
this week. For this reason we expect the
market to sag some lower pending the
resumption of export buying.
Corn displayed strength early In sym
pathy with wheat, but developed an over
bought condition and for the balance 6f
the day the market was compelled to di
gest a good volume of sales. News was
of a decidedly bearish color and cash corn
sluggish. Reports from the country toid
of a keen deeire to sell old corn and also
reported contracting for new corn at much
lower prices than prevailing quotations.
Southwestern markets reported liberal pur
chases In the country on over-night bids
The latest upturn having been brought
about mainly at the expense of the short
Interest and the developments having
turned somewhat In favor of lower prices,
we expect to see a further downturn.
Oats had a strong undertone - early !n
the day. but the advance was checked
by appearance of profit-taking sales in
good volume. Cash markets started strong
on a steady demand, but later became
weak.
Ry Buying by houses with seaboard
connections took the surplus off the mar
ket early and was responsible for the ad
vance. Cash was firmer, with 'sales of
No. 2 on track at 2 cents over September.
The recent response to export buying was
quite complete, and it Is likely that a
further reaction will be experienced.
Provisions Scattered short covering and
light offerings influenced by advance in
hog prices gave the market some strength
during early trading, but the bulge brought
out a good volume or orierings. Atten
tion is called to the fact that lard man
ufactured after October cannot be deliv
ered on January contracts, whjch, we
think, will have a depressing influence on
October delivery.

situation was a factor of paramount Im
portance In the stock market today, tak
ing precedence over easier money condi
tions and the mors promising crop outlook.
Announcement of the successful offering
ot the new French loan, which was over
subscribed before the opening of the
books, was accepted as an indication that
investors are eager co participate in at
tractive underwritings.

furnished by foreign exchange, which
continued to move against the markets.

chemicals led the day s higher range or

CANNERY HELP SOUGHT
More Tban 2 6 0 Women Can Be
rsed In The Dalles.
THE DALLES. Sept. 9. (Special.)
The dehydrating plant here and the
cannery are both appealing to the
women of Oregon for assistance in
putting up the pear and prune crops
of this season. Both plants are short
more than 200 women employes, and
it is feared by the managers that the
crops may rot before they can be
taken care of. The highest scales of
wages are paid, and company restau
rants reduce the living; costs. Posi
tions are open for all corners.
The deyhydratinc; plant started
work yesterday on Bartlett pears and
prunes, paying an average of $70 per
ton for pears, and J60 for prunes. At
present they have 400 tons of pears
on hand, and 700 tons of prunes.
