Small Demand for Olds.
No Interest U shown la the local hop
market In either l07s or In contracts, but
there la some Inquiry for olds at 1611
cents. Reports from the country that
the rain Wednesdsy did the yards much

of red spider, but experts who hare been
Investigating conditions say the reports are
greatly exaggerated. -
The Oregon crop of 1909 Is going to be or
superior Quality, according to Ed C. Herren.
of Aurora. He says:
The quality of the crop, barring unfavor
able weather from now on. Is going to be
unusually line. The hops promise to be per
fect on the vines, and If a choice article la
not put up It will be the fault of the grow
ers In handling the hops. It has been many
years since the prospects In this region were
so good.
"I loo for a crop In Oregon running from
90 0OO to 110.000 bales. I am satisfied that
the demand is going to be a slow one and
prices will be low.
Growers who are holding 190 hops would
do well to get them off their hands as
soon as possible. In a few weeks, when
the new crop cornea on. they will And their
old-olds practically worthless. There are
today In the state 4S66 bales of 1908 hops
In farmers' hands, besides 1:500 baiea held by
dealers and not shipped. Of ihe 1907 crop.
6350 bales remain unsold. All those hops
should be disposed of to make a clean mar
ket when the new hops come cn. Unfortu
nately, there la no demand lor the 1907s.
but there Is some Inquiry for the 1908 crop
at tow prices."
English trade reports, bearing dates of
July 27 to 29 say of hops: '
C'attley. Grldley A Co.. London The sea
sonable weather which at present prevalle
Is apparently everything that can be de
sired for the grolng crop. T.le turr Is
developing regularly and somewhat rapidly,
and althouh aome signs of bliKhl anJ mold
are apparent, there is nothing serious to
complain of In any district In England.
From abroad similar accounts are received,
and. from a consumer's point of view, the
outlook appears ti be very aatlsf actory. ) he
market Is naturally quiet, and a small hand-to-mouth
trade only doing. The currency Is
about the same as last t1i; but when hops
are pressed for sale reductions are neces
sarv to conclude business.
Wild. Notma A Co.. London There Is
but little demand for hops, and with some
pressure to clear the few lota atlll unsold,
values are a trllle easier.
Manger Henley. London There Is not
much doing: the few orders that come to
hand are for present needs oniy. The crop
prospect continues favorable on the whole.
V. H. A H. Le May. London The trade
parsing Is of a retail character. Merchanta
only buying to fill orders. The reports from
the plantations continue favorable oa the
whole.
Adolf Heller writes from Prague under
date of July 1:7:
Last weeK the weather was cool and wet.
and this retarded the development of the
buir. But. nevertheless, the state of the
hop plantations In Bohemia Is a very good
one. and It Is not unlikely that the Saam
district will produce a record crop and the
other Bohemian districts as many hops as
last year. If the present flno and warm
weather continues It Is expected to start
picking In Bjhemla in about eight or 13
davs. In the other Austrian hop-growing
countries more genial weather has prevailed
anl the plant has done better, but only
. moderate crops can be expected. From alt
parts of Germany come favorable reports,
and If the hops grow out properly It Is ex
pected that at least as many will be Brown
as last year. At any rate, the surplus on
the Continent will be a big one. The demand
for 1C'7 hops was a small cne at unchanged
prices.

Free Offerings Cause Reaction, but
General Covering- Movement

Vp Again.
NEW YORK. Aug. 15. The opening of
the atock market was awaited with con
siderable interest this morning, owing to
the severe decline of yesterday. Reports
that speculative pools had liquidated heavily
and that important market Intereats were
selling were colored to some extent by the
lack of support to rpeclsl stocks The mar
ket abroad, however, showed little reflection
of the weakness yesterday and after early
heaviness rallied, so that when business
commenced here the comparative changes
were slight. This circumstance hsd an en
couraging effect on the local speculation,
so that first prices were not altered much
from last night's closing, though the tend
ency wss downwsrd.
After a few minutes the bulls began to
buy cautiously, and as they met no Im
portant pressure of stocks, grew bolder, and
soon had a large portion of the list ruling
a substantial fraction above yesterdays
closing. American Smelting, Southern Pa
cific and Kock Island were In special de
mand, the reassuring statements regarding
the latter road's financial obligation having
a tonic effect upon the list.
The rally, however, terminated when the
traders perceived that stocks were being
fed out as fast as the market could take
them. The profeaslonala then proceeded to
range themselves on the short side and ham
mered the list energetically, especially the
metal group. American Smelting broke rap
Idly to t04. a loss of nearly S points, the de
cline being accelerated by the execution of
large stop-loss orders Amalgamated . Cop
per waa also conspicuously weak and large
sales drove United States Steel down to 44.

fered good resistance at various points, hut
Union Pacific had an interval of decided
weakness when It sold down to 134 In
the final dealings, there was a general cover-
ln movement of extensive proportions.
which reduced general losses to a trivial
fraction and advanced St. Paul to a point
above yesterday's closing.

Bosition of Associated Banks Is Still
Strong One Actual and Av
' ' . erage Returns.
NEW YORK, Aug. 15. The Financier will
say:
The official statement of the New, York As
sociated Banks again, as waa the case In
the previoua week, showed more or leea im
portant differences between the average and
the actual Items. The actual cash Increase
waa 85.814,000, the latter, however, closely
approximated the amount that was estimated
upon the basis of the traceable movements
of money during the week. It seems probable
that the difference in thbe Item of cash was
in great part due to withdrawals by trust
companies of about $2,500,000 to reinforce
their cash in vaults. It is noteworthy that
whereas in previous years the banks .have
disclosed a loss on the inter-bank movement
the result of withdrawal incident to the set
tlements for crops these institutions last
week- recorded a gain which, though small.
seems to indicate that requisitions from the
interior have not yet begun. The actual gam
in cash, as above noted, was chiefly due to
Treasury operations with the banks.
The actual increase in reserves was $1,974
275 to $59,112925. Computed upon the basis
of deposits, leas those of $9,243,900 public
funds, the reserve was augmented by $1,978,-
600 to $01,423,900. Loans increased, accord
ing to the actual statement, $1,307,400. while
the average gain was $14,392,000. Deposits
showed an average Increase of $17,411,800 and
an actual Increase of $16,368,900. The per
centage of bank reserves to depositors was
29.3; that of trust companies was 33.68.
The average statement of the Clearing,
House banks for the week shows that the
banks hold $57,618,626 more than the require
ments for the 25 per cent reserve rule. This
Is a decrease of $1,609,060 In the proportionate
cash reserve as compared with last week. The
statement follows:

Chicago Wheat Market Takes
Sharp Tumble.
DECLINE STARTS EARLY
Unloading of December by Influen
tial Longs Brings About General
Liquidation and Prices Suffer.
Corn Steady, Oats Weak.
CHICAGO. Aug. IB. The wheat market
made a brief show of strength, at the start,
owing to additional rains in the Northwest,
which partially offset the weakness of foreign
markets. Before the end of the first hour,
however, prices started on the down grade as
a result of free selling of December by two
influential longs. This selling brought out
considerable ales from smaller holders, and
before the decline wis checked prices had
dropped from mfiHic to lilglWe below
the high point. The market continued heavy
the remainder of the day and closed weak at
almost the bottom. September opened WPSiC
lower to a shade higher at 83c to 9c

LEARNS USE OF CAMERA
Kermit Roosevelt Prepares for Af
rican Hunting Trip.
NEW YORK. Aug. 15. Kermit Roose
velt is to be the official photographer with
the President's party on the African
hunting trip. In preparation for this Im
portant work the young man is studying
with Frank M. Chapman, the ornitholo
gist of this city.
The responsibility which will rest on
Kerralt's shoulders will be heavy, for all
his father's accounts of his adventures in
the jungles of the dark continent are to
be illustrated. It is also understood that
the President is anxious to bring back
photographs of rare African birds and
other animals taken in life, for the big
museums, including the Smithsonian In
stitution at Washington and the Ameri
can Museum of Natural History here.
The President was anxious to have Mr.
Chapman accompany him, but when this
was found to be impossible it was decid
ed that Kermit should get a complete
camera outfit and be trained in its use
by Mr. Chapman.
Mr. Chapman has long been a friend of
Mlttf
A22JI
the President. He Is associate curator of
the department of ornithology of the
museum of natural history and has made
a study of the photographing of birds
and animals.
The question now under consideration
by Kermit and Mr. Chapman is the best
kind of photographic outfit to take. It i
expected that the camera alone, with the
several lenses, including a powerful long
range lens, will cost about $250. He
will have to "snap" birds hopping and
flying, and wild animals in motion. It Is
not unlikely that a taxidermist of
either the American Museum of Natural
History pr the Smithsonian Institution
may accompany the President to prepare
the skins of the big game which the
President manages to kill.
