Paasemrer truffle to the ear, during
tha weli has. been unusually . heavy
from point In this vicinity ImauH of
th reduced rates that were offered Tor
tha benefit of those who desired to at
tend tha St. Lou la fair. Special ratea
were) offered for three day a during th
week.
On both tha O. R. N. and Northern
Pacific aa well aa the other roads that
run out of Portland, thera wai t heavy
t paaaenwer buiflness. In the smaller
town, however, the traffic waa propor
tionally larger than In Portland and the
Ctner large northwer. cities.
- "Wa had not anticipated an exceedlng-
' ly heavy traffic this week for the rea
son that people dlallka to no east during
the hot aeaaon," an Id a Northern Pacific
official today. "But the business was
much heavier than we expected. In rhe
. smaller towns the buslneea waa heavier
proportionately than In Portland.
"A great many also took advantage of
the rates to attend th conventions In th
east Portland sent very few delegates
to th convention though other cities
.in the northwest sent good delegations."
Officiant of the O. R. A- N. also de
clare that passenger business during the
week exceeded their expectations chough
It will be greater during the period of
special rates that ha been offered dur
ing September. Already reservations
are being mad, for berths and other ac
commodations for that time. ,

Front Street, Aug. II, p. m. The
principal' features of tha Portland whole
sale marketa during the past week were:
New wheat In large demand.
Foreign demand for (four is large.
' Sugar advancea another lOo.
; Packaga eoffe Is up 60c.
' Run of salmon proves a failure, .
- Ekk ar allghtly higher. -
'Poultry advanced with small supply.
Mmon market show; A zoo rise, ,
Meat receipts, were too smalt
Vegetables- art generally lower.- , '
IJop contracts ar moving up.
wew TTiNt Is Xa Xargs Xmajd.
' On account of tha shortneas of storks
In general tnera la A very large demand
for new wheat at prices that ar show
ing an advance. Old wheat Is very
scare -and- tha demand for flour causes
th millers to buy more heavily than us
ual at thla time of the year. Besides
Ik. nelntet ntintatlcmS- lomt Of- the
smaller mlllera up th valley ar paying
a premium vf from 1 to to a bushel in
order to secure supplies at one. Quite
heavy, buys of bluestem and club -are
reported In th Eastern portion of Ore
gon and Washington for this market
' Orient X Buytnf Muck now.
Tha lara-eness of the demand for flour
from tha Orient : and especially from
Hongkong Is surprlsjng th local mlllera.
aa they had been led to neueve xnat
stocks In-that city wer sufficiently large
to last for at least a month mora. Dur
ing th middle of th Week one of tie
local mlllera received this : .message
from a Hongkong Importer! "Am out of
flour and would very much like to have
ordered aupplles ' sent out on first
steamer." Th demand has become so
great that aupplles of flour, which
heretofore Had oeen consmereu
large to be aold this season, hive prac
tically become exhausted and aa It will
take soma time before new wheat will
be sufficiently "ripe" to grind the market
Will undoubtedly go short This will
cause advancea both in tn looai ana
export grade prices. .
Sugar Advaaoed Another Tea Cents.
Ther was another advance of -joo per
hundred nounds In th Quotations on
sugar of all grades In this territory this
morning. . Tha market had been very
firm for some tlm on account at the
larg consumption by the fruit cannera.
ArtmoUe Coffe Advaaoe Again.
There waa an advance this morning of
EOo ft hundred pounds In th quotations
on Artiuckie - ana uoruov urenui i
package coffees, making th new price
114.25. There waa no cnauige in ii ni
pn Lion brand. It remaining 11.50 under
that of th othera.
Is Taken Aa Sight.
This refusal of the Woolaey Splc
-company, owners of th JLIon brand, to
follow 'the advances In th cost of raw
coffee la believed jy a larg per cent of
th trad to be th beginning of a fierce
flght for th control or the pacgag cor
fee-buetnesa-of the. country. -
Boa of Salxnoa lroves a Tailor.-
At midnight, Monday. August 15, th
1904 salmon season comes to an un
timely end. With only two more days
In which to legally secure flsh. th run
t late has nroven a vast disappoint
ment, few of th cannera being able to
secure one-fourth of what stocks they
already had ordera for.
Boys Are Silently BUgber. .
There la a slight advance In th quota
tions on -egg, although soma of the
A-eolera iir thev ar still willing to sell
for lc, whll others claim they hav no
difficulty at all In securing H to lo over
thla figure. The receipt this week were
fair, but th demand was sufficient at
tha nrlce to keep tha market from be
coming clogged. .
r,ife-r Advanced. "With small Supply,
TV,r was an advanc of about e
a pound all through th poultry market
this week with the possible xceptlon f
geese, which did not seem w
wanted at all. Th supply was a trin
i ,.. nn anrlnn. but old hens were
vary hard to obtain and were In the
best call. Th mantei " ,""?''
cleaned up at the cloea of business to
day. Th prospects for ft good market
during the- coming week are very good.
, Z,moa Market Shows ft Bis.
On sccount of the higher values rul
in m h marketa of the South lemons
are quoted here at an advance of JSo ft
box for th cest gwxia.
larg aupply of poor goods. Oood or
anges wer hard to find, but poor stock
had no demand at alL I
Hop Contracts are Moving Higher. -
Hon contract ar now being offered
by the dealers at prices ranging from 22
to 22 He with few takers. The hop crop
at present Is In ft good condition, but It
Is still about thre weeka to picking and
unfavorable weather In the shape of too
much rain or too little will make a vast
difference In the production. Twenty
five cents will be th average pric for
picking this season.
Ja Beceipts Too Small.
The receipts of fresh meat along Front
street during the psat week were nor
nearly up to th demand and prices wer
stretched a trifle higher.. Th arrivals
of veal wer allghtly larger, but th de
mand continued good with top prices tb
ruling ones, null beef did not come nor
waa It wanted.
Teg-tabls Ar Osma rally X.crrr.
Generally prices are ruling In vege
tables, the supplies showing a small In
crease from local points. Green com Is
not selling except for the best grades,
and ven on this price ar down. To
matoes wer low except at the close or
the week, when th supplies became too
short for the larger demand.
Potato Head Bala Badly.
Practically nominal receipts ruled In
the potato market this week. Those that
came were mostly from California, but
a better movement of Oregon Is ex
pected -during- the coming week, r Mo
Klnley Mitchell, the potato buyer, who
returned yesterday from Oervala, saya:
"Larg damage will be done to. tha po
tato crop of the valley If wa do not hav
rain very soon."
The wholesale quotations which ruled
at the close of the week are:

New York, Aug. IS. Whll there waa
little newa of a financial character over

with tha course of tha business session,
the stock' market displayed great
strength and activity. 'The tone of th
trading at times was fairly buoyant.
Th United State Steel aecurltlea were
mora prominent In th day's dealing
than at any time during th week. The

The marketa have been In a measure

department gava out laat Wednesday.
Although not fully convincing) th fig
ures Indicate a fairly promising out
look, with llttl cause for apprehension
that has been felt In many quarter!
sine reports of rust In th northwest
began to be go Industriously circulated.
- The etock market Wa moderately ac
tive during th early movement today,
with fractional advances throughout
th session, under th leadership of th
traction aharea, which again eontrlbuted
heavy trading and aaalated In swelling
th volum of buatneaa to respectable
proportions for ft Saturday. Th market
throughout developed ft firm ton and
with good inquiry for th coal shares,
Sugar rsflnlng and aom of th peolul
ltles , exhibited element of ' real
strength. . . -

Abroad th markets wer featureless
except for th decline In consols In
London, and th fall of rente In Parle.
Discounts were easier at the British
capital, and whll th aecurltlea of the
belligerent nations showed soma varia
tions, th changaa were comparatively
unimportant. - .
Wheat declined early and reports wer
freely circulated that, the trouble In tha
steel billet pool bad been settled, on
tory being that th Youngs town plant
of th Kepubllo Iron k Steel company
naa Deen purcnaaed by the . United
States Steel corporation.
Whole Market BCoved TJpward.
It waa under these Influences that the
whol market moved upwards, tha ad
vances extending from small fractious
to 1 point, th latter In Steel cre-
ferred. Thla stock and Metropolitan
aecurltlea, Brooklyn Rapid Transit and
Southern Paclflo absorbed most of the
speculative Interest

Tha bank statement was ft good one.

brings the total surplus up to $57,725.
426, a new high record. Loana Increased
$1,040,500, and caah $2,162,400.
London waa a factor of llttl conse
quence In local dealings. Unimportant

Paclflo seemed to be the subject of I
favorable comment, first on ftcaount of
Its comparatively low price, which was
less than tha -Union Paclflo quotation.
although th stock waa on a higher
dividend paying baals and -second on th
outlook for splendid conditions in in
territory with tha promise of a big corn
crop. Despite the reactionary tendency
of past months tha fact wag alluded tr
that tha company's gross earnings had
run behind little mora than on per cent
sine January 1, regarded as a striking
record and strong testimony to tha

. .. loo Koch rrult,
Ther has seldom been ft Saturday '
when tha carry-over atocka of fruit
were aa large as yesterday, notwlth-,
standing It was shipping day and that
retailers had to lay In supplies for two
days. Much of th fruit left on band. '
however, was of poor quality, and a
large percentage was several days old.
Three carloada of Central American be- '
nanas arrived during tha week. - and
ther waa considerable quantltlea from
th Hawaiian Islands, so that the mar
ket Was largely overstocked.
Ther has only been ft eprlnkllng of
qui nets, ao far, -not enough to establish, -
ft regular market quotation. Watermel-
, 1 , vv-.a ii.mt wcyx Mil
quantities from Fresno, and they ar
being marketed mostly by th grower
or their representatives. Cantaloupe
and-nutmegs hav kept In xca of tha
dally demand, and prices for them hava
become very weak. '
Quality of Orapes Boor.
. Orapes bave been dragging, lh qual ;
Ity not being; attractive. The market
contlnuea to be overloaded with plum.
th cannera so far not having taken
them freely. Cgnners of late have been
moderate buyer of Bartlett pears. Ther
haa been much Inferior stock on hand. -
Peaches were moat In demand yester- -
day, with good run on fancy In car
rtera. Figs of the second crop ar be
coming tnfir plentiful, arid"sr Arrlvln;..,.
from aeveral points. Moat of th Long- I
worth strawberries wer poor. Tha
larg varieties wer plentiful and pre
ferred. Raspberries took very wide
range In price, those from Santa Claim
bringing th highest prloes.
. Blackberries are Bows. "
. Tha bulk of th low-priced blackber
ries went to cannera, with aalea down
to $1 per cheat. . Some fancy Santa Crua -.
aold up. to $S. Fancy apples hav been
doing ft llttl better, with $1.16 per bog
rather generally named as th top prlc

tionally good. Some wer being held
for $1.60. - .
Botftto Market Depressed.
Th potato market continued In ft depressed-
condition, recent ftnivals hav- '
lng been much more than the, market
could absorb. Onions wer comparative-
ly steady. Tomatoea wer quit plenti
ful and easier. Buyer had only to nam
their prloes for pepper, string beans
and green peaa, these articles being rery
weak. Oreen corn of quality waa In ex
cessive supply, and even th best ap
peared to hav no fixed value.
Som Butter la Advanced.
Although tb market has of lat been

to th run on storage goods at relatively

ssle, and on mora was at hand for
Monday's market. - .' - . ,
