Very Heavy Notes
and Points.
A good, strong market, with lines
equally balancing, receipts and talcs
compensating, was the Front street sit
uation today. "It is the best altuallnn
for Home time," said a dealer.
Following are a few of the salient
Front street features:
The expected grapes had arrived from
California, and a car of Sacramento to
matoes. Also, of the latter article, the
first shipment of Yakimas was received,
reported by Mark Levy & Co. Price
lowered at little to 4OgC0c. The first
shipment of Denver celery came In, a
small lot., selling' at SI per dozen. The
Yakima tomatoes were fancy and this ar
rival Is a little later than last year.
A car of Rogue River water melons
was received, and the first shipment of
melons from The Dalles Is due by tomor
row. A car of new bananas was also
In, The sweet potatoes expected, showed
up, and are very fine, and selling. at
$2.25.
Chickens were settling down to better
conditions, as Turner & Co. put It, "We
are cleaning up better than for a long
time." And they also said of eggn: "Re
ceipts ami shipments are balancing up
nicely, otherwise there would be a slump
In prices. For receipts of fresh eggs are
larger than I ever saw."
The Incoming hop harvest was affecting
prices a trifle. While It Is difficult to get
exact quotations, in the 'complications
regarding contracts, the tendency was to
fix the price considerably under what it
has ben supposed to be, probably clous
to 22 cents.
Dealers on the street said that reports
come from all their correspondents re
garding the tires, but It was not affecting
business.

SOUTHERN PACIFIC
Harriman's Plans Will Necessitate
an Expense of $40,000,000.
Messrs. Taylor, In their review of the
financial condition of the Southern Pa
cific Railroad, In the Railroad & JBanklng
Review, make an elaborate statement In
regard to the Improvements made anJ
the methods used by th.- road.
The property Is unique in that It Is be
ing modernised by the use of net earn
ings, and that there should be some help
from capital outlet Is probably to be sup
ported by the directors of the company,
who It Is understood, are to Issue bond3
of a convertible type fur the large out
lays which Mr. Marriinan has found to
be necessary.
The report sayst "By an examination
of the property recently made. It Is es
timated that it. will require an expendi
ture of $40,000,000 to contpletely modern
ize its that is, to make It one of the best
equipped and constructed railroad prop
erties in the country."
Some of these improvements will make
a saving in the operating expenses of
the road. It is pointed out that with the
use of oil as fuel the company will be
able to save $4,000,000 a year, or equal to
2 per cent on the capital stack.
The following table will show the ex
pansion In the earnings of the road In
five years, covered by the report:

able of holding JQ jjeople, which will he

"Meade" tent, which will hold about 2000
people. In the west side wljl be a com
panion tent, dedicated to General. Sher
man. Near the norlh entrance are to be two

Cotton Gathering Season Began Two
Weeks Earlier Than Usual.
(Journal Special Service.)
LITTLE ROCK, Ark., 8ept. 12. The
cotton picking season is at its height in
Arkansas, Mississippi and Tennessee, the
season having begun fully two weeks
earlier than usual. In view of the rapid
opening of the crop there Is a general
shortage of labor and the problem prom
ises to be a serious one for the planters.
Some of the largest growers of cotton de
clare that they have never seen a time
when there was such a scarcity as there
Is at present.
The indications are that the picking
Reason will be short this year. The fact
that the crop Is so much earlier than
usual and that the weather has been o
hot Is accepted as a sure sign of this.
Some of tha crop authorities are predict
ing that tha entire crop will be gathered
before the Christmas holidays and that
the bulk of it will have been harvested
by the end of November, If not consider
ably earlier. This fact of Itself tends to
complicate the labor question still more,
anfl should there come bad weather, the
result would be very damaging because
of the large amounts of cotton that
would be caught In the field.
Portland Day at the State Fair.
Thursday, September 18. will s "Tort-
land Day" at the Fair this year, and the
management intend to make It the gala
day. A special " program has been ar
ranged. There will be a grand parade

and a big event will be the special racing
card, for 'which unusually large purses
will be offered. The display of the agri
cultural, horticultural, mineral, dairy and
other exhibits will excel all former ef
forts.
The Southern Paoiflo Company will soli

Fair and races for the lowest rate ever
made $1.50 for the round trip from Port
end, and will run a special "Portland
Day" excursion train, leaving Portland
st 8 a. m. and the Fair Grounds at 6 p.
m. on the return trip. You should not
miss this opportunity to see and learn

FRUIT WANTED
For Display at the Japanese
Industrial Exposition.
All farmers and fruitgrowers of Ore
gon aVe urged to bring in choice samples
of their products to the permanent ex
hibit at 246 Washington street. These
samples will be sent to Japan, to De
placed on exhibition there In the Oregon
section of the Japanese Industrial Expo
sition. Everything submitted will be well
taken care of and credit will be given to
the donors.
It Is an Important matter that a big
display should be submitted as Oregon
will endeavor to carry off the cream of
he Japanese trade, and a fine exhibit Is
necessary to accomplish this end. Col
onel Dosch is now in Japan preparing
for the exhibit and It is hoped that by
he time of his return to get the Oregon
exhibit, all displays may be ready for
removal to Japan. All fruits and pro
ducts which display the resources of
Oregon are acceptable.
TO BEGIN AT ONCE
Improvement Work on the City &
Suburban Road.
The City 4 Suburban Railway Com
pany will begin sometime during the lat
ter part of this week on the new track to
be laid on Gllsan street, between Seventh
and Third streets; on Third street be
tween Flanders and Salmon, and on Mor
rison, between Third and West Park
streets. This is a, distance of one mile
and a quarter; It will require 300 tons of
rails and 350,000 Belgian blocks to be
used in the paving.
The Job will require all winter, as
workmen are scarce, and good pavers are
few in the city. This Improvement with
the work now going on by the other
lines In the city, will require the ser
vices pf about all the laborers available.
In order to keep the cars running for
the convenience of the public, the South
Portland and the Upper and Lower Al
blna cars will run over Seeond street,
changing from Third at" the f turn out
recently constructed at Flanders street.
The Montgomery street cars will be run

streets, or the same as the Morrison
street cars; from here they will run
back up to Montgomery street again;
