The hop market, though. It has not fully
opened up yet, la displaying considerable ac
tivity. Quito a number of dealers have or
der?. Bald to range from 11 to 13 cents, and
their agents are kept busy In the country try
ing to locate sellers. As the market has a
good undertone, with apparently .an advanc
ing tendency, buyers aro loth to give tho par
ticulars of tholr transactions, whloh accounts
fT the numerous unconfirmed rumors that are
constantly circulating.
Some big transactions have occurred, bow
ever, one -of .them Involving 1000 -bales. The
details of this business have been kept quiet,
but it is known that' tho price was 12 cents
and the quality choice. One market report
yesterday was to the effect that the lot was
bjught by Schwartz & Son, who since paid
33 cents for another lot.
A report was received . last evening that
Seavey & Motzlor. of this city, had bought tho
V K. Johneon lot at Mount Angel, at 14
certs. This lot comprises about SO bales of
h W hops. This is the highest price paid
e'r"e the late advance started. Somo hopmen
believe the market "will now continue to move
tip ward until it reaches 18 cents. There arc
no weak epots In the situation apparent, ex
cept the bear statements.
There Is some dispute In tho trade as to the
tracing of the Neis lot of S00 bales, bought
by Faber & Note, of Albany, at 11 coots, the
quality being placed anywhere from prime to
s'rlc-tly choice. The hops were put on the
market afterward by the Albany Arm and for
a time yesterday It was thought they had
been sold to another dealer at 12i cents plus
the commission, but the deal that was under
way fell through.- .'
a letter received yesterday from Tacoma
said.
In this state oalos of prime to choice hops
co-1' rue dally at from 0 to 10 cents, that is,
hoover anyone can be found that can use
t;.rm The general opinion is that-the English
.Tp will exceed 700.000 cwt. Official returns
th Lid be out any day now. Last year they
n rrc Issued on lOctobsr 7. -All U?e Salem deal.
rs write us that In their henest -opinion the
C-egon crop will certainly exceed 110.000, and;
timo that It will go as high as 120,000 bales.
Lure writes from New York that state hops
can be bought freely at 15 cents. Eastern
dealers are offering choice Orcgons to brewers
at 13614 cents delivered, but it Is Impossible
to Interest brewers, as they have determined
r.'t to buy until they can get their hops dell-,
ered in the brewery at 10 cente per" pound,
ard it looks as though they were going to win
tut '
It might be stated here that the Associated
1 r'ss for .several day past has reported the
" w lork market as Arm, and. the Now York
;a:rrs give no such low quotations as those
rrrr.t.uned in the above letter. Tho latest lts-s-je

still further advance was reported In a
tf 'gram received from L. S. & IV. E. Sniith,
C:wrrs, of Hamilton, X. Y., which said:
' Market active. Bulletin has advanced
chtux to 28 cents. Several hundred bales sold
at 20 cents." '
I'ls' usslng the quality of the Oregon crop,
E i Smith, of this cits, said yesterday:
'Nut over 10 to 12 .per cent of the Orecoa
crp will grade aa export hops. However,
tisere are plenty that will grade prime and
fYime to choice." llr. Smith states that an
other lot of 112 bales was consigned to him
yesterday and whenever growers want an
advance before hops are shipped he wilt ac
commodate them liberally.
Other dealers place the percentage of strict
ly choice hops somewhat higher, a number be
lieving that it will be about 20 per cent of
the entire crop.
SHORT SUPPLY OF GRATES.
Express Shipments Bid Not Make Up for
Quantity Lost on Steamer.
There was a. brisk demand for grapes yes
terday and good prices wero realized all
around, as the supply was short. Some 700 or
800 boxes were lost by the wrecking of the
steamer St. Paul, and as dealers had cut
down tholr orders, tho receipts by express
proved light. A few peaches wore offering
and some small additional lots will be in Mon
day, which will probably close up the season.
Tomatoes and cabbage were a drug on the
market yesterday. The choicest -offerings of
the former brought 302-10 cents, but overripe
etock was hard to sell at any price.
There was a temporary scarcity of potatoes,
as the rain interfered with digging, and some
dealers were asking 75085 cents.
CROPS IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES.
light Percentage of Milling "Wheat in
France.
BroomhaH'c weekly foreign crop summary
says ;
"Cnlted Kingdom Woather is favorable.
France Fair progress Is bolng made with
pkwlng. The good quality of wheat Is con
firmed In the center and west; In tho north,
however, the quality is very poor. The per
centage of milling wheat, is given at 4 per
cert against 72 per -cent last year. Germany
There i a large potato crop, but tho quality
Is varied. It Is expected that there will' con
t'r.ue to be large purchases of wheat and
coarse grains. Hungary Good progress is be
ing made with plowing. Russia Arrivals at
ports are bolng generally maintained. Italy
-The wheat crop this year is estimated at
abcut 1M, 000.000 bushels, against 150,400,000
bushels last year. Tho corn situation is sat
isfactory. Spain Tho crop Is now consid
ered decidedly smaller than last year's. Large
stocks of foreign grain have been carried
over"
Poultry Receipts Light. ,
Receipts of poultry were not beaiy -yester
day, but for the few coops that cams in thert
was practically no demand, and Quotations,
therefore, wero largely nominal.
Thero was not much activity In the egg
trade, and the butter market was also slew.

RAISIN PRICES NAMED

Prunes; Are Generally Firm, Though on
Lnrsrc Sizes Prices; are Occa- .
xlosmUy Shaded.
SAN FRANCISCO Oct. 7. (Special.) The
leading event of -the week In the California
cured fruit market was the naming of asso
ciation prices for new raisins. Theso prices
are fully as high aa anticipated oa loose and
layers and &-cent higher than expected en
needed. The raisin crop Is early and the
bulk has already been delivered to packing
houses. Comlltlflns this yoor aro advantageous
to growers. Not much business is passing in
other dried fruits. Standard and cfeoleo
peaches and aprleots ore In fair demastd.
Apple arc again firmer. Large hoMors ef
prunes remain Arm, but owing to the quiet
market price on large eize arc ooeasloaally
shaded by those needing the nMner.
California aliaenas ore weaker, but walnuts
continue firm.
Local grain dealings were not cxtOBsive to
day, but wheat aad barley sold higher in the
speculative pit and shorts were uneasy. Cash
"barley was very strong, with sales of choiee
feed at J 1.10. Spot wheat was- steady. Oats
were Quiet. Choice hay was 50 cents to $1
higher.
Fresh fruits were moderately active. Se
lected grapes and peaefecs wero slightly higher.
Fancy potatoes had a firmer tone, but
lower grades remained easy. Sweets wero
weaker. Onions aro still maintained on tfelp
ping purchaseA.
Butter closed stronger I with fancy cream
ery quoted 1 cost higher. Cheese was steady.
Eggs were weak. Receipts. 48,500 pounds but

MONEY IS TIGHTER
I
In Spite of Acute Contraction
Stock Values Unruffled.
TRADING NEARLY STOPS
Operators Discouraged From At
tempting: art Advance In the
Pace of tho Outlook: Ef
fect of Bank Statement. .'
NEW YORK. Oct. 7. (Special.) Another
week has passed In which contraction at the
menes centers has grown steadily more acute
and has left our local security market still
unruffled. Such a display of composure is
without parallel In our financial history. Will
the encouragements that He In the general
industrial situation of the country continue
to prevail ever the influence of the tight money
now existing In all the markets of the world,
or will the exigencies of the money market
Anally lead to a general liquidation despite the
confidence felt in security values? These are
the questions agitating financial circles at
the ckve of the week.
That the present strain in the various money
markets la something out of the ordinary does
not admit of doubt. The Bank of England
is down to the lowest proportion of reserve
to liabilities since 1S31. . The Bank, of Fanee
hao yielded so far to the urgency of the sit
uation as to release a few millions of Its
jealously hoarded gold. It has been sug
gested that more relief will come from the
same quarter If the need becomes more crit
ical. This, however, is at best & doubtful de
pendence. Our market is at the moment the-
most active bidder for Europe's gold supply.
It Is the American withdrawals . that arc re
sponsible for the decline In British bank hold
Jngs during the last fortnight.
Tho thought naturally occurs that our own
needs must be very great when our claims
must be pressed in the face of such powerful
restrictions upon the -gold movement, and.
this being true, the question arises whether
our market would not be seriously embar
rassed if the foreign banks were to canythelr
obstructive measures further. This Inquiry
Involves the main perplexity of our present
financial position. It is one that Is perfect
ly natural and sound, the money stringency
not being due to overstrain of credit, but te
tho real requirements of business and the crop
handling, or are the markets of the weVld be
ing squeezed to support a precarious home
speculation?
The continued high rate for money th!
week has suppressed any great speculative ac
tivity la stocks. Early In tho week the money
market gave indications of relaxation from
the strain of the A-peclal causes which made
heavy demand upon banking resources, and
the market showed evidence of positive
strength. When money rates tightened again,
active attempts to advance prices were de
sisted from and a full resistance to depression
took the place., of the advance. Not only
here, but in foreign markets, the courae of
money rates has been upward, and. the con
viction has grown that no Im me Slate return
of easy money Is to be looked for. Bankern
express the opinion that firm money rates
may not be looked for In the future for a
number of months and pronounce such a con
dition wholly normal and due to easily un
derstood cau?ea. Operators In stocks are dis
couraged from undertaking speculative cam
paign for aa advance in the face of this
outlook. At the same time the high de
gree of prosperity' keeps alive the hopo of
ultimate higher prices and makes holders
of stocks exceedingly unwilling to part with
their hold la :s.
Attention has been almost exrlutdvely cen
tered on the money situations and some of the
developments of the week have awakened dU
ousrton taking proportions of controversy. By
reporting an increase in cash on hand and a
reduction in the loan account, with resulting
benefit to the margin of the surplus re-Mi-ves,
the banks were at direct variance with the
known movements of money for the week
and with the heavy loan operations known to
have been conducted. The criticism of the
bank etatement culminated at the annual
meeting of the Clearlng-Houso on Wednesday,
when the president of a leading bank de
nounced the bank rtalemcnt as a farce, as
far as It purports to offer any reliable Index
of the annual financial situation.
In the same connection was sounded a noto
of warning of the menace of danger In the
freedom of the trust companies from any
cash reserve requirement In connection with
the heavy loan operations by these Institu
tions. The protest of the banks has its mo
tive of self-interest which Is easily ap
plicable. The 2 per cent allowed by banks
on trust companies' deposits gives the banks
the use of those funds only while interest
rates are low, but where profitable rates are
ruling, as at present, the trust companies
draw upon tho banks to place loans on
their own account to practically the full
amount of their resources. It Is the general
supposition that the heavy loan contraction
by the banks during the last few weeks had
been taken over almost entirely by trust
companies. Certainly there has been no evi
dence of real liquidation In the securities
market. The consequence would be that no
rt-al reduction of deposit liabilities has oc
curred to keep pace with the drain on bank
reserves during that period. All but a small
percentage of trust company cash Is on de
posit with the clearing-house banks and Ng
urea in their reserve, which, therefor-, ooa
Ktltates almost the only reserve against both
bank and trust company deposits.
The New York xtate trust companies, as a
whole, reported to the Superintendent of
Banking on September 1 that the deposits
subject to withdrawals on demand were
$843,304,143. the item of loans on collateral
at that date standlnc at 775.S39.401. The
cash In their vault then was reported at
loss than $29,000,000. which was less than
3.0 per cent of deposit liabilities subject to
demand.
The irogress of the legislative Investiga
tion of life insurance methods Is of some In
fluence on the market. Disclosures of Indis
cretion had Its part on the skepticism dis
played In the market. The dominance of
tho money situation has kept stock market
operations and movements within a narrow
range and has kept other considerations in
the background.
Bonds were well sustained on a small de
mand. "Cnlted States new 4s declined H,
the 2s coupon he 3s registered and
the eld 4s coupon A per cent on call for the
week. '
The weekly bank statement offered a warn
ing of the small reliance to be placed en ye
terdays late decllno In tho call money rate
as a reflection of the situation of the money
market. Speculative sentiment was brought
to the conclusion that a stiff money market
was likely to continue for the immediate
future, and there was selling of stocks In con
sequence. A group of Industrial specialties,
mostly among the railroad equipment sleeks
with American Locomotive leading, were ex
ceptions to the downward tendency. The
movement in three was of professional Origin
quite largely, but had a substantial base In
the extraordinary need of the railroads
throughout the country for large Increases la
facilities to accommodate the flood of traf
fic which ht coming upon them. The
strength of this handful of stocks, however,
wa of little effect In sustaining tho general
market, and the closing was easy at declines
in many of the prominent active stocks.
The decrease in cash nhown by the bank
etatement ran to $$,454,700, considerably ex
ceeding the largest' of the preliminary esti
mates based on the known movements of
money. This showing U regarded as a rati
fication in part of the unexplained Incream
tn cash reported lost week, though the full
amount of the discrepancy Is by no meass ac
counted for. The showing strengthens ths
supposition that gold engagements have been
flKurin; in bank reserves as soon oa made
without waiting for their actual receipt. The
effect of the decline In cash on the surplus
was modified by the scaling down of -the de
posits through a contraction of $11,&SO,400 la
euU'Unding loans. The inroad upon the sur
plus wa4 thua limited' to $3.153,S50, bringing
that Item down to $4.4S-3.175. The loan con
traction is believed to Je due largely to the
taking over of loans from the banks by out-of-town
Institutions, which have drawn on their
New York deposits for that purpose during
tho week. Another withdrawal or $2,000,000
from the Bank of England, for shipment to
Egypt showed the drain upon the depleted
reserve of that Institution until relieved and
pointed to the maintenance of money rates
in foreign markets. Total Galea of boads,
par value, were $1,750,000.

SHIPMENTS OF FRENCH GOLD.
Pari Bonkers Sox It Did Not Go to tho
United State.
PARIS, Oct. 7. Leadlnjr American shippers
of FrenQh geM say they have not made any
shipments to the United States out of the
$5,000,000 recently withdrawn from the Bank
of France. The report of the shipment to
America grew out of Thursday's" statement of
the Bank of France showing that the gold bal
ance had fallen during the week from $502,
414.434 to J5S7.PS1.321.
This unurfual fall of $4,433,111 attracted the
attention of the Bourse, where it was attrib
uted to the needs of the monetary situation In
London. When the London bankers said they
had not received any French gold, the reduc
tion was then attributed to shipments to the
United States. However. Lazard Freres, who
ore the chief shippers, have' not shipped the
amount referred . to and are not aware of any
other shipments to New York. They incline to
the view that the amount has gone to Egypt
and other poln: outside of the main markets,
London and New York. The managers of the
Bank of France eay they are not aware of
the destination of the shipments. The Euro
pean Boo no mist calls attention to the move
ment of precious metals to the United States
and gives a table showing that the French ex.
port of geM to New York since January 1
totals $5,070,513.

NEAR THE ESTIMATES
CASH DECREASE AT NEW YORK IS
ABOUT "WHAT "WAS" EXPECTED.
Loan Contraction Also Ajcrees Closclj
"With the Preliminary Figures
oa the Item.
NEW YORK. Oct. 7. The Financier this
week:says;
The official statement of the New York
Associated Banks last week showed a de
crease in cash more closely corresponding
than in the - previous week with the esti
mates whleh were based on the traceable
movements of money. The loans partially
reflected the contraction that was expected
from the dally calls after the middle of the
week, and the decrease la deposits, and con
sequently In reserve requirements, were suf
ficient to limit the reduction In surplus re
serve to an amount which left a fair work
ing balance for the banks. The cash lots
was $S.434.70O. or about $1,000,000 greater
than the estimated "sum. and this doubtless
largely resulted from the Interior bank
movement, though the absorption of money
by the Treasury from the banks, due to
receipts in excess of payments, was a con
tributory factor. The deposits decreased
$21,208,400. which was $359,300 greater than
the sum of the. contraction In loans pus the
loss of cash; hence the statement was some
what out of proportion. It Is noteworthr
that the average of loans was $470,200 tn
excess of the average of deposits, indicating
that the banks are umuually expanded. Tnt
reserve requirements were reduced $3,300,830
through the decrease In general deposits.
Loans were contracted $11,SS0.400. making

Chicago Wheat Market.
CHICAGO. Oct. 7. Sentiment In the wheat
pit was Inclined to bearlshness. At the open
ing December was off ic to 'iwie, at inrv
Si4c. to 85e. Ose of tho factors mainly re
sponsible was the failure of the market at
Liverpool to respond to an advance here ye-
terday. The reason for the comparative weak
ness at Liverpool, It was said, was a gen
eral belief In the likelihood of & muoh heav
ler movement of wheat from Russia within
the next few weeks. Another factor In the
Initial deprejelon hero was Ideal weather for
the movement of the new crop In the North
.west. From the start many small holders
were eager to dispose of their lines, commission-houses
also had selling orders. Bo
fore the end of the first hour December had
sold off to S4S41e. Lack of any definite
news regarding export business had eow
slderable influence on trading. As a result of
moderate demand from 'a leading bull, the
loss was later all practically regained. De
cember at one time selling at S5c. During
the lost hour prices fluctuated within a nar
row range. The market closed steady, with
December off WKc. at S4ftS3e.
- A steady tone prevailed in the com pit. The
volume of trading was very small. Decem
ber closed unchanged at 44V;641-lic.
The o&tti market was firm. December closed
unchanged at 28 He
Provisions held steady the entire session. At
the close Januury pork was unchanged. lard
