Newspaper Page TextFROSTHURT ONIONS One-Third of the Valley Crop Damaged. SHERWOOD SUFFERS MOST Detailed Kcports Submitted to the Confederated Growers' Associa- 0on Light Trade in Fruit Market Grains Are Quiet. Tha first definite information a to the ef fect of tha frost on tho Oregon onion crop was obtained yesterday when reporte wore submitted at a meeting of the Confederated Oniongrowers" Association. From these re ports It was learned that about one-third of the crop suffered damage to some extent. In certain localities the onions were frosen through and through. In other sections not o badly. The real extent of the injury will not be known until later when the keeping qualities of the onions will de velop. The worst damage was done In the Bholls and Sherwood sections, which have an acre age of 160 acres out of a total of 603 acres In onions In the Valley. At Bholls. half of the crop had been housed and the remain der, which was In the fields, was frozen hard. Sherwood suffered even more, as a large part of the crop, estimated at three fourths, was still out on the ground and Vaa frozen solid. At Cornelius, Beaverton and Cedar Mills, with an acreage of 118 acres. 75 per cent of the crop had been harvested and there was little or no damage to what was out. The Tualatin and Milwaukle sections, of 112 acrea. escaped any loss, aa all the crop was housed before the frost came. MOVEMENT IX WESTERN WOOLS. Good Business In Territories at 6teady Kate. No transactions in Origon wool at Bos ton are noted In the litest mall advices, but there has been a fair business In terri tories and good wools sell without further concessions. The market for such Is steady, but short clothing wools are dull and easy with no immediate prospect of improvement. A. few good-sized lines of between 100,000 and 200.000 pounds each have changed hands and numerous smaller quantities. Among the transactions In wool In the orlKlnal bags are about 300.000 pounds Wyoming on a scoured basis around 60c. 21MMHH) pounds Idaho at IShi to 19V,C to cut 52 to B3c clean and 100.000 pounds of Montana at 10 to 20c Most demand, however, Is for graded wools. Liberal sales of half blnoU Include a line of 200.000 pounds Da kota staple at 22c: Wyoming at lite, and 2O0.000 pounds at 10 i to 20c Half blood Montana sold at 21 S4 to 22c A.

Good Demand For Oregon Fruit Is Ex pectcd. The outlook for Oregon apples la London this aeason Is good, according to W. Dennis ft Sons, of London, who write: We are delighted to learn from practically every source that your territory holds a bumper crop of good quality fruit, and that shipments are bound to be very much heavier than in previous years. We. on our part, shall do all that la possible to develop the trade to meet any increase in the supplies. Whilst It la true that things generally In this country are not quite so good as they were last year your stock has got a hold upon our buyers that a trade la always certain, even If prices have to be a shade loner. The certainty of getting a straight deal In your box fruit to such a well-known fact with the buyers that we always look forward to the buMnees with pleasure. Our English crop of apples is about up to the average, perhaps a little heavier than usual, tn the County of Kent. The crop of pears Is very poor. The great bulk of this fruit will be marketed In the next month or six weeks, and what Is left is never a very erioua factor against your fruit, for the simple reason that buyers can never depend on a continuous supply of the same article. POTATO F1UCE UNALTERED BI FROST. Oregon Will Still Have at Large Surplus to Ship, According to Uealera. The frost, which put a stop to the growing cf the potato crop, has had so appreciable efTect yet on the market. Farmers are naturally Inclined to feel bullish, but dealers declare there will be no shortage and are not exerting themselves to buy. A possible de crease of 10 per cent Is figured upon, but this will leave plenty of potatoes for shipping purive. A little buying is onder way for California account and for fancy stock shippers are paying m cents f. o. b. for carload lots. Before the frost offerings were heavy and the present lull gives the market some chance to clean up. A good many farmers think that since the frost killed the vines the potatoes should be dug without delay, but according to the best authorities into Is a mistake. If the po tatoes are left In the ground until the vines are dried out they will be found to have grown considerably and thoroughly ripened; other wise whea dug they may turn out green. VBArXS IN LIBERAL BCFPLT. Receipt of Loral Fruit Too Heavy For the Demand. The fruit trade was quiet yesterday and a. considerable amount of stock was carried over. Local grapea came in freely and all could not be sold. A car of California grapes Is due Monday. California Tokaya are quoted at 11.25. muscats at Si. 15. and blasts at $1. Niagaras from around Forest Grove were offered at 40 centA. blacks at &OQ80 cents and s&uacats at 78 cents. 2et zcanx peaches were received and prices were firm. Large sizes suitable for stands were In demand up to S5 cents. There are enough tomatoes on hand that were picked before the frost to las the trade until the middle of the week and after that supplies will probably have to come from Cali fornia. The general quotations on tomatoes yesterday were e70 cents. Weekly Receipts of Produce.

Oats and Barley Firmer Dealers Surprise by the Advance In Onions. SEATTLE. Wash., Spt. -26. (Special.) There was spirited traaing on tne jaercnania Exchange this morning and large quantities of wheat changed hands at an advance over yesterday's opening prices. The market opened at about 04.- cents bid and 85 cents asked. Several cars wera sold later at 85 cents. One miller offered 95 cents for a car of No. 1 bluestem, but could not get it at that pries. Oats and barley are decidedly firmer. As high as $32 has been paid on the exchange this week for oats. Comparatively few oats are being bought up on a speculation at the prices prevailing. Some buying has been done by one house In anticipation of securing a portion at least or tne uovern mnt contract for 9000 tons In fruits, the tone was firm. A car of cantaloupes reached here this morning and was snapped up quickly at prices touch ing as high, as SI. 50. Peach receipts have practically stopped. Only a few lata va rieties are coming in. A feature of the vegetable market Is the strenKth of onions.. The advancing tend ency at this time of year Is surprising deal ers. Eggs were weak at BS39o. Some deal ers cut the price to 87c to clean up. Poul try was all cleaned up. , QUOTATIONS AT BAJf FBANCISOOt Prices Paid tor Produce In ths Bay Cits Markets. - SA?T FRANCISCO, Sept. 28.

The Improved methods of transporta tion, which are fast widening the limits of New York's business energy, will soon embrace a radius of 50 miles, within which are located 2364 different towns and cities whose total population, with that of Greater New York, is equal to fully one fifth of the population of the United States. When It is realized that the permanent Increase in population of New York last year was about 400,000, a city the sixe of Cleveland, Ohio, some iaea oi me tremen dous growth of the city can be appreci ated. One of the assurances of a contin ued and permanent growth is to be found in the 60.000 marriages that take place every year. Besides this permanent increase New York is entertaining: an average of over 150. tX) transient visitors every day, and at some seasons, when the hotel accommoda tions are taxed to their utmost, fully 300.000 people are chronicled in their home papers as "spending a few days in New Xork on pleasure ana Business, AWAIT NEW ISSUES Pause in Stock Speculation at ' ' ' : New York. UNDERTONE IS VERY WEAK Suspicion of Manipulation in Kock Island Securities Reduction of Operating Expenses by Rail roads Bonds Are Firm. NEW YORK, Sept. 26. The narrowing fluctuations in today's stock market followed the uual precedent after the more excited and rlolent fluctuation of the earlier part of the week. A downward plunge in prices, followed by a rebound of corresponding vio lence, Is almost invariably followed by a e-uc-ceselon of decreasing swings leading to a subsidence Into dullness and a peura to await new lspues. The lack of authoritative confirmation of the rumors of completed plans for supply ing the Rock Island system with needed cap ital put the spectacular movement in the se curities of that company under suspicion of a stock market device. Their advance hurt rather than helped the general market, which showed weakness even before the sharp reac tion in the Rock It-land Issues themselves. The mercantile agencies reported an Im proving tendency In commercial affairs, but In conservative fashion. Crowing attention Is given to the radical reduction being effected by railroads in their operating expenses. Reports on 172,135 of mileage for July show a cut In operating ex penses compared with last year of $20,690, 276, against the decline in gross earnings of $27,262,110. The Financial Chronicle points out the' Important fact that the comparison now la with the period last year when ex penses were on an extraordinary scale, owing to congestion of traffic and urgency of ship ments, so that economioal measures were then Impossible. It is common knowledge also that the railroads are keeping repair work and improvements down to the lowest point practicable. The largest decrease, tn surplus of Idle freight cars occurred In the two weeks end ing September 16 for any similar period sines the reduction began, the American Railway Association reporting reduction in that time of 00,562 cars or a decrease of 242,696 from the maximum of 413,33d Idle freight cars, which was reached on April 29. Cars sent to shops for repairs do not figure In the surplus equipment In this computation end here also allowance must be made for the substitution of good ears from the kits equip ment to save or defer expense of repairs. Bonds were firm. Total sales, per value, $2, 025, 000. United States bonds were un changed on call during the week. CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS. Closing Sales.

Decline In Surplus Reserve Shows the Pressure for Funds for Crop-Moving. NEW YORK. Sept. 28. The Financier will say: The statement ot the Associated Banks of New York City tor the week end ing September 28. showed a moderate de crease of J2.548.500 in leans, due mostly to the liquidation movement in speculative circles. The loss in cash, taking the report ot actual conditions as a basis, was $4,047, 800. This decrease was occasioned by ths shipment ot J2.000.000 ot gold to Canada to meet crop requirements, the remainder of the $4,000,000 loss navlng been brought about by shipments to the Interior and losses to the Subtceasury. The decrease In de posits was $4,635,500. and while this de crease lessened reserve requirements by over $1,000,000, the actual decrease iu sur plus reserves was $2,818,350. the discrep ancy ot course being due to the loss in cash reported - above. After having maae heavy- gains in pre vious weeks the summary ot the state banks and trust companies shows that these insti tutions are also feeling the effect of the liquidation in stocks, their loans having de creased during the week $1,600,000. while their caBh holdings have also contracted about $830,000. The statement oi averages ot the clearing-house banks for the week shows that the banks hold $50,309,550 more than the requirements of the 25 per cent reserve rule. Thto is a decrease of $178,975 In the proportionate cash reserve as compared with last week. The statement follows: Decrease.

PROMISE9 HEAVY LIXB MEN. Game With University of Colorado May Be Secured Coach Rheln schild Begins Work. Pullman, Sept. 26. (Special.) Washington Htate college ana university 01 voiuiu.uo football teams will clash on Bogers field this year, if negotiations now being con ducted between Manager Houston Mc Crosky, of the state college team, and the management of the Colorado team bear fruit. The latter has written to MoCroskey asking for a game to be played at Pullman during the course of a trip being planned by the Colorado eleven, which will include a game with St. Vincent's College In California. On thj opening day of the season's practice Coach Walter Rhelnschild was greeted by 29 men, only a few of whom are last year's men. "Proxie" Bryan, last year's quarter, is not in school this year, and Coach Rhelnschild is confront ed with tho problem of rounding out a new man for this position. Holt Boone, for three years quarterback on the Dav enport High School team, is making a hard try for honors, his only competitor thus far being Couch, quarter on last year's second team. Tho situation at present, although it must be considered that not all of the men hava returned to college, is not promising that is frankly admitted by the "wise ones." At present the back field does not look bad, with Rader at full and Cave, Coohn and Cheely trying out for halves. Montgomery, the 1906 148-pound fullback, is also making a bid for his old position this year. On the ends. Earl Gaibraith, 175 pounds, stands a good show, with Foran, 170 pounds, and Firebaugh, 155, working hard for the tackle positions. Fishback, 195; Clint Imus, 185; Cliff Imus, 190, and Mead, 192, are out. Laird, 225, Hunter, the 200 pound guard on the 1906 team, and Wex ler, last year's 190-pound lineman, are trying for Jobs at guard. At center Cher ry, last year's 210-pound varsity man, has everything his own way. Coach Rhelnschild expects to open a training table next week, starting scrim mage work on Tuesday.

The volumi of whsat which changed hands today was small and the range of prices narrow, never getting far below or above last night s closing. The news of the day was not exciting. Snow and rain prevailed in parts of North Dakota and Northwestern Minnesota, and Atchison, Kan., reported the first rain in that section In 75 days. December wheat closed c under yesterday at IlilH. Corn was dull and easy .early, but firm later. Support was given the market be cause of predictions of frost.
