The local flour market la unsettled, as a
result of the recent decline of 20 cents at
Seattle and Tacoma. which puta these mar
kets below Portland for the first time In
several months. White no decline la openly
announced locally. It la understood that the
Puget Sound prices are being generally met
by most of the millers of this section.
Broomhall's latest summary of foreign
wheat crop conditions follows:
United Kingdom There are continued com
plaints being received regarding the outlook
for the crop, as much lodging Is reported
and the 'crop is thin. The districts with the
largest aciteage. however, are being har
vested. The crop Is expected to be smaller
than last year.
France The wheat crop will undoubtedly
be a short one. with the quality low. Our
Paris correspondent estimates the yield at
2S8.0UO.0OO bushels, and stocks at 40.000.000
busliela. The average yearly consumption
amounts to 33t.000.000 bushels. The weather
has Improved after the recent storms, and
the crop outlook baa generally been main
tained. Hungary Our agent confirms the crop of
good quality.
Koumnnia Harvesting of wheat la In
progress, the result of which Is showing the
yield to be below an average, whika the
quality is excellent.
KuKsia Reports from the Southwest state
the Spring wheat yield unsatisfactory. Our
airent at Taganrog reduces his estimate to
about an average. The outlook for oats In
the southern region Is favorable, and the
outlook for corn In Southwest Is highly fa
vorable; some authorities give the condition
at 100 per cent.
Spain Outlook for the crop is fair.
CREEX PRODUCE CLEANS UP WELL
Washington Cantalonpe Shipments Will
Start This Week.
The Front-street produce men brought their
business to an early close yesterday after
noon In order to attend the ball game, but
this did pot prevent them from cleaning up
nearly all the fruit they had on hand. Light
receipts helped to this end. AeMe from the
customary watermelon arrivals, little came to
hand.
Good peaches were decidedly scarce, but a
considerable lot of Inferior Oregon fruit was
offered at low prices. The best grades of
cantaloupes were advanced to 82.75. Prices
otherwise were not materially changed.
Among the California receipts due Monday
will- be two cars of green fruit, mostly
peaches, and a car of lemons. California ad
vice note increased firmness in peaches,
owing to the Eastern demand.
Washington cantaloupes will make their ap
pearance thla week in small quantities, the
first coming from Toppenlsh. Taklma will
also begin shipments this week, but not in
large quantities for two weeks yet. Wenatchee
reports that free shipments will not take place
for three or four aeeka Payette wires that
shipments ot . cantaloupes will start from
there between August 13 and August SO.
California sweet potato shippers are offer
ing carlots for shipment this week. This
Is a week earlier than last year.
CALLS HORST DELIGHTED DAMPER.
Satisfied With the Turn Affair Have Taken
in England.
The London correspondent of the Paris
edition of the New York Herald announces
the return to London of Paul it. U. Horst.
The correspondent has got Paul confused
with tits brothor, the Baron I.ouis, but this
la a trifling mistake, as, to the average In
dividual, a Horst is a Horst, no matter what
his title.
'Baron von Horst," says the correspond
ent, "comes with a glad face because the
tax on hops, of which he grows more than
any one else in the world, will not be im
posed by the English government.
"As I told you many months ago. Baron
von Horst then described Englaud as the
dumping ground for liis surplus growth of
Californlan bops. That raised merry Ned
in England, got into Parliament, and also
into the hop-growing districts in England,
and brought about many meetings of indig
nation. Tlw Baron quietly faded away to
Oermany when all this trouble was brew
ing "Few people knew, however, that at the
big meeting at Trafalgar Square, protesting
SKatnst the hop-growing legislation. Baron
von Horst himself waa present, and stood on
top of a coach and allowed himself to be
photographed. If the crowd had known it,
I suspect that the Baron would have had
his clothes pretty well damaged. Possibly
he might have had a leg or arm pulled off,
but he's a husky fellow, and 1 think .lie
might have even stood that.
"Now he Is back and smiling, with a smtle
that won't come off. He has won out. and he"
can use England for a dumping ground for
his own hops Just the same as ever."
POOR OUTLOOK FOB POULTRY.
Price Shaded to Clean Up Saturday's Ac
cumulation. The week in the poultry market ended with
the expected slump. To clean up, hens were
sold ax 12 cents and Springs at 14 cents. The
prospects for the coming week are not en
couraging. There was no change in the egg market
yesterday. Receipts were above the normal,
SS cases. The demand for extras good,
while the lower grades dragged.
Butter receipts were SO boxes. Production
is mucb decreased and as the inquiry con
tinues strong a further advance la the rac
ket would not cause surarlse. Some draw
ing on the storage supply Is reported.

SAYS WHEAT IS TOO HIGH
mokitz' titomsex's view of
export flocr prospects.
Improvement in Seattle Poultry and
Egs Markets Strong Demand
for Fruit.
SEATTLE, Wash., . Aug. 1. (Special.)
Morltx Thomsen, president of the Centennial
Mill Company, said today that Coast flour
mills will s unable to sen flour In the
Orient this Fall, unless wheat prices are re
duced from the present level. Like most
millers and exporters here, he holds that
opening prices are too high.
A decided Improvement is noted In the egg
and poultry market. While dealers are car
rying over heavy stocks of hens and Springs,
the demand is so active that prices were not
cut this afternoon to clean up. There will
be no reduction In prices in the country next
week. Egg receipts axe heavier and most
eggs are selling at 30 -cents. Cash sales go
at 28 cents. Eastern eggs move freely. The
market is supplied with some excellent April
stock, for which dealers are asking as high
as 27 cents.
Heavy receipts of watermelons have no
effect on prices, owing to a strong- demand.
There were far from being enough berries to
go around this morning. Cherries were also
in light supply.
Beef Is a half cent lower at 7 cento for
dressed ateers.
The Paclflc Coast Condensed Milk Company
today advanced the price of condensed milk
40 cents per case. The Bordens expect to
raise their prices in a few days'. This ends
a long-drawn-out fight between the two con-
Spirited Wheat Bidding at Weston.

Prices Current Locally on Cattle, Sheep and
Hogs.
The poor quality of a good many of the
sheep and lambs that have lately arrived
here had the effect of turning prices down
ward. Mixed sheep were quoted yesterday at
a decline of 5 cents ewes were off the
same amount and lambs were quoted down
to- 4 cents. A farther decline in lambs is
probable. The former prlcea of best weth
ers was maintained. There Is a good de
mand for good cattle at steady prices and

Report of Earnings.
NEW YORK. Aug., 1. Reading led the
market to higher levels today In continua
tion of the sudden movement which developed
In that stock late yesterday. Other coalers
were not markedly affected In company. Con
spicuous trading stocks, however, were active
and strong and touched new high levels for
the year. The coppers were subjected to new
proflt-taking salts, following yesterday's sharp
rise, but continued to advance. The realiz
ing affected the whole list decidedly at the
last. -
Further consideration of the Wheeling &
Lake Erie note settlement and Its consequences
enhanced Its importance In the speculative
view. It was reported that the trunk lines
had decided to defer until December 1 any at
tempt to advance freight rates, the criticism
of the proposal having proved discouraging.
Suggestions alt possible Federal intervention
to try to settle the wage controversy ot the
Delaware, lckaw-anna & Western were re
ceived with some misgivings.
The material reduction in operating ex
penses In June, affected by the Pennsylvania
system, made a good impression on security
holders.
An upturn in the price of wheat kept at
tention ' focused on the Spring wheat damage
reports. It was not until the closing that the
profit taking was allowed to affect prices.
Reading's net gain of after having sold
1 higher than last night, la a fair Index ot
the day's market as a whole.

SMALL DECREASE IN GASH
SUBTREASURY OPERATIONS IX
FliFEXCE BANK STATEMENT.
New York Institutions Now Have
Percentage of 29.38 Re
serve to Depo6its.
NEW YORK, Aug. 1. The Financier will
say:
The official statement of the New York
Associated Banks for the week showed an
actual decrease In cash. Instead of a com
paratively small gain as was expected from
the preliminary estimates. This loss was
doubtless due to the operations of the Sub
Treasury with the banks, largely through
the payments through these institutions to
the Government of $5,000,000 on account of
the Central Paclflc subsidy indebtedness,
which was finally cancelled last week, and
also of transfers of $3,000,000 gold to
Canada. It may be noted, however, that
the average statement indicated a gain of
about $4,000,H)0 cash and there was an in
crease in reserve shown by such statement
of $2,567,325, whereas the report of actual
conditions showed a loss of $1,144,250 to
$57,263,475. computed upon the basis of de
posits lees those of $0,228,000 public funds,
there is a decrease of $1,148,275 reserve to
$59,570,475. Loans increased $2,309,300 ac
cording to the averages; there was a de
crease of $444,700 as shown by the actual
conditions. Average deposits were greater
by $6,413,100, while actually they were
$SC9,SO0 leBs. The banks now have a per
centage of 29.33 reserve to deposits; state
banks show 30.60 and trust companies 36.60
per cent.
The statement of averages of the clearing
