Local s StrawberriesTAre Coming to Mar-

Prices Sell at $6 a Crate. '
A-,:
Dealers Do Not Know Where
They Stand or Whether
There Will Bo Demand. '
Latest market features:
Strawberries la market again.
Peach supplies are glutted.
Spring chickens are depressed.
Grape market shot to pieces.'
Hop situation badly mixed.
Borne still cutting butter.
Eggs are firm; cheese duller.
Hop gituatloa Xs Badly adzed.
So mixed is the hop situation at this
. time that even the oldest dealers do cot
now lust where they stand. The ex
tent of the hops to be placed upon the
market Is not known by anyone. Every
day shows some yards abandoned, while
at the same time growers who first de
olded not to pick suddenly changed tbelr
minds. Lice and vermin with mould are,
, however, playing havoo everywhere In
the state. Only a few yards are entire
ly free from some disturbance, and It Is
not likely that over 10,000 bales of first
class hops will be harvested In the state
this season. This Information comes
from a most reliable dealer one who.
If anything, would be on the buyers'
Ide of the, fence. ...
O004 Sops Deserted.
J. A. Jones, who usually harvests
about S00 bales from his yards near
Newberg, was in the city yesterday, and
stated that he would not likely Dick his
hops, as he could scarcely afford to
waste his time harvesting a crop that
. I . 1 .. V. 1 1 - '
ployed at this stage of the market. Ac
oordlng to the local trade, the yard of
Mr. j ones is one oz tne Dest in tne state,
being entirely free from mould or lice.
Riley Cooper of Independence states
mat tne mould is starting in tne yaras
around Independence. According to Mr.
Cooper, he will not pick any of hie crop
-that will aot grade feast, euaJltyv all
mouldy or vermin affected hops being
cast aside because or the low prices.
Choice Sops Wasted.
Herman Uhlmann, perhaps one of the
most eonservative 01 tne local traae, ex
pressed the opinion this morning that
about SO, 000 bales of choice hops would
sell at quite fair figures probably
about 11 and 14o later in the year but
that most of the hops grown in the
state would go begging ror Duyers this
season, unless there was a radical
change In the situation. '1 have seen
seasons very similar to this." he says,
"when hops were very low, but made a
slight recovery later, and then again
sold at $2 a bale. There's no telling,
however, what will .happen in the hop
liiai nau
Ernest Wells, representative of E.
Clement Horst. states there Is no bus)
nesa In the market According to Mr.
Wells, all of the Horst hops are being
picked.
Strawberries In Market Again.
One of the finest crates of strawber
ries seen at this time of the year along
Front street came in today. It was
grown by Miss M. J. Rupert at Oak
Grove. Stocks were of the Clark seed
ling variety, and were sold to a Spo
kane firm at Z60 a pound, or 16 a crate.
Just after the crate was sold a local
firm offered 6O0 a pound ror tne stocus,
so fancy was the quality. .
The itnoe market Is busted wide open
One firm alone has on hand three tons
of black grapes sent here on consign
ment from Stockton. California. The
shipper-ef the stock is unknown to the
receivers, thus showing that supplies
are so great that growers are sending
them Broadcast to any oeaier wnose
name they can secure. Grapes are . to
day selling at all sorts of prices along
Front street, some are oown as iow
Krtr orate and the trade la rlad to get
rid "Of them at any price. A crate of
good quality will sell around II. but
fancy Tokays are only bringing, 11.50
along the street toaay.
Brief Votes of tne Trad.
Tomatoes are ranging firmer, with
supplies not so liberal.
Cantaloupes In better demand, with
light supplies.
Peach market Is In bad shape for or
dinary stock, with sales at iow ngures.
Vanrv holdlna- well.
Never so great a scarcity has ever
been shown in dressed meats as at mm
time. Some obtaining a premium.
' Egg market Is firm, but unchanged
an to price. Small arrivals, but suffi
cient at the present value.
Cheese remains dull, but unchanged.
Secret cutting of prices reported.
Butter market is still very slow, and
rather weak, with most of the sales be
ing made at cut values, especially for
outside brands. Increased supplies the
cause.
Another car of California watermelons
was unloaded this morning. Fine
shape. Price at IKe.
Spring chickens still show depressed
values.

0 e MARKET
Local wheat values are showing a
gain of lc a bushel today, placing the
price of. club at 82c and bluestem at
84o a bushel. Of late millers -have
bad considerable difficulty in obtaining
sufficient supplies and this is one or the
causes of today's advance here. 'With
the European trade buying all the wheat
it can secure at present values, there
is a right on between millers and ex
port agents for the business.

There was a good deal of selling this
morning and trailers bfforarf atmlca
down; thus causing a good break. The
Dan statement did not have any Imme
diate effect, but it caused a feeling of
uncertainty. For next week the pay
ment of convertible Union Paclflo and
New York city bonds is expected to
cause a flurry in the call money market.
The market is very professional and
any news affects it very easily.

Light runs are again a help to livestock
conditions in general in tne local mar
ket. Hogs are holding their own on ac
count of the continued rood feeling in
the east. There is no depression Here
except ror stocKers ana readers, and
China fats.
Quite a fair bunch of cattle came In
the yards today for the week's end. De
mand so good, however, that arrivals are
absorbed as lr they were nominal.
No sheep arrived In either today, a
week, a year or two years aao. Market
steadier In consequence.
A year ago at this time all lines be
gan to weaken slightly, although prices
on in is aate were uncnangea.

Fire destroyed the propeller boat
America at her dock at St Helen Jast
night. She burned
efforts on the pa
tlngulsh the flames proving unavailing,
The America Is owned by Captain James
Good of this city, who also owns the
Republlo and the Columbia, the latter
having recently been launched to go on
the Vortland-Vancouver run. The
America cost $12,000 and was Insured
for $4,000.
Details concerning the affair are
lacking but it la believed that the tire
was due to spontaneous combustion,
possibly In the engine room. The
America has been running on the Portland-fit.
Helens route ever since built,
about eight years ago, and laid over
night at St. Helens, the officers and
crew making that city their homes.
Captain Good Is making every effort
today to secure another boat for the
run until he can buy or build one of
the same type as the one destroyed, be
cause a large number of dairy men de
pended upon the America to haul their
product to Portland. In the meantime
boats from points on the lower river to
Portland will be bailed as they pass.
The America was of the following di
mensions: Length. 94 feet; beam, 20
feet; depth of hold, 6.1 feet She was
built by Captain Good, who designed
her especially fof Xhd Winauiilt slough
run. i-
The steamer Charles R. Bpencer went
oh the drydock this morning for a gen
eral overhauling and will not leave for
the cascades tomorrow. The machinery
a well as the hull will be overhauled,
but nevertheless the boat will be ready
to depart for Hood River at 7 o'clock
Monday morning. The Spencer was
taken off the run between Portland and
The Dalles about two weeks ago and
now makes Hood River her up-river
terminal. Captain Spencer says Hood
River is growing rapidly and Is just the
right distance from Portland for a dally
round trip by his steamer.

Inspectors Exonerate Pilot Snow
Who Steered City of Panama.
Messrs. EdVards and Fuller, In
spectors of hulls and boilers, have ex
onerated pilot Willis C. Snow from
blame in the matter of the collision be
tween the steamers City of Panama and
Alliance the morning of August 12.
when the Panama crashed into the Al
liance at the mouth of tne Willamette
river.'
This decision exonerates everybody,
because if anvone was to blame It was
Pilot 8now who had charce of the City
of Panama. The Alliance, In charge
of Pilot Turner, had grounded on the
river bank late the preceding night In
trying to make the bend while the
dredge Portland wus occupying con
siderable space in the channel, and soon

MAID IS MAN
English Spinster Discovers Her Con
fldentlal Girl Is No Lady.
During a small dinner given this past
winter at one of the embassies here in
Washington some remarkable stories
were told by Americans and foreigners.
The story which caused the most aston
ishment was told by an English woman
who was there with her father on a
short visit to the hostess. She was a
very handsome spinster, tall and state
ly, and about 40 years of age.
At dessert the conversation became
general and drifted from one topic to
another, and finally celebrated robberies
were discussed. The English woman
listened with great interest and then
volunteered to tell of an experience of
her own.
"Just before starting on this trip,"
she commenced, "my father and I re
turned to London after a year's absence
Pilot Snow tried to take the City of
Panama through the same place. His
vessel, too, was caught In the cross
current and sh turned her nose In the
same direction!' as the Alliance. The
result wao that the City of Panama cut
a deep gash in the Alliance's stern and
crowded her further u the bank.
The Alliance was subsequently floated
but the repairs were not completed
until yesterday and she will sail for
Coos Bay tonight for the first time
since the accident occuried. F. P.
Baumgartner, ageat for the Alliance,
has libeled the City bf Panama for
$26,000, but It Is a question whether or
not the decision will have any bearing
on the libel, since the Alliance people
will likely show that the City of Pan
ama should have kept away under all
circumstances when it was seen that
the Alliance was fast In the mud.

and were reported to the local police.
They worked very hard, but every clue
was exhausted ana no ngnt was thrown

"We did not take an active Interest

that some valuable heirlooms were miss

tience over tne slow and unsatisfactory
work of the local police, wired to Scot

us immediately. We decided not to
mention this to any of our friends, and
also not to our servants.
The inspector arrived that evening
and he listened most attentively to
