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. Une of
-'.".0.000 pounds half blood and fine cloth
ing changed hands on the scoured basts of
r.2 4c for the former and 60 to 61c for the
t latter. Considerable Are medium Utah sold
at 14 !i to HMc Including 150.000 pounds
at the former price.

MARKET FOR A1TLES IS ENGLAND.
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 fruit trade was quiet yesterday and a.
considerable amount of stock was carried over.

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.

HIGHER PRICES.
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.

LITTLE OLD NEW YORK
larger in Population That 16 Dif
ferent States and Territories.
(National Magazine.)
Some one who Is opt at figures has
shown that New York City today is larger
In population than 16 different states and
territories, and further, that within a
radius of 20 miles are living over 10,000,000
people.
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.

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:

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.

In Northwest. .
CHICAGO, Sept. IS. 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.
After a few early sales there was no pres
sure on the oats market and prices were
maintained with little effort in the stag
nant condition of trade. Cash oats were
steady.
Save for the selling of October lard,
the provisions market was neither Interest
ing nor active today. Closing prices were
2A7Ho over yesterday. This was more
indicative of the lack of pressure than
support.
