Extreme dry weather Is causing loss

generally of the opinion that the out
look for the hop crop Is somewhat less
favorable than a few weeks ago.
Julius Pincus, a prominent local in

Sensational Rise Is
Forced for All Wheat
Chicago Market Is Most Excited in
Years and at One Time Was
Ten Cents Higher.
Chicago. Julv 28. The most sensa
tional rise ever known In the stock
market occurred today after it became
known that a declaration of war had
been made in Europe. The wheat mar
ket at one time showed a net advance
of 10c a bushel, closing rises being
8c for July, 9c ror September and
9Vc for December. May closed with
a rise of 9c.
While there was a strong tone
abroad, the market there closed before
the war news became so acute.
Broomhall cabled from Liverpool
that disappointing American cables
yesterday caused some selling here
Later there was a sharp scramble of
shorts to cover, being induced by the
break Ih consols and a report here that
actual war has commenced between
Austria and Servia. Russian advices
continue bullish. The market-la very
nervous and during the morning some
speculative interests were inclined for
profits and this caused some reaction
but at i:dU p. m. tne undertone was
strong.

In the face of one of the largest
Rrain crops in the hiMory of th
nonnwest, or a fruit crop in most in
stances greater than last year and lha
gradual revlvul of the lumber bus-.- -
ness, t'ortland railroad men teltevo
the car situation will prove equal to
handling the emergency.
Anticipating a recurrence of last
year's shortage, nearly all tho roada
have been rushing empties from por
tions or their territory whtre tb
prospective demand is light. Prac
tically all lines have purchased new
equipment. alo. although for monthj
many of the box and flut cars already
in use nave been idle.
Lumber shippers have feared lhat A
marked shortage would follow the re
vival or trade, particularly because
the retailers' stocks all over I lie conn-'
try have been ,! lowed to run low.
Recently D. W. Campbell, assistant
general manager of the Southern Pa-
Clflc. stnt out an anneal tor nromnk
handling of cars on the part ot shlp
t ers and consignees, in anticipation of
what he considered one of the biggest
movements of grain ami -lumber In
years. ' f?
There has been inn. It movement
lately of cordwond In tliis territory,
all the roads taking advantage of the
rlack season to em-ouruKe the use Of J?"
fl it fnwm C 1 . . . -
general demand was off. - .
The O.-W. It. & N. Co. the Southern
Pacific and Clreat Nurth-rn have re,
cently acquired a number of new re-,
frlgerator cars for the hauling of
green fruit, and the Pacific Knot Kx-
press has strengthened its supply out,
of Sacramento so the apple, peach and'
pear crop can be cared for without
much delay.
That conget-tton is bound to com.
ith Hi elmullancous rush 10 market'
of the grain from all over the north-"
west Is generally admitted by traffto'
men. That the delay will not prove
serious, however. Is declard by every
tallroad man who has the handling of '
cars. i
TrafTlc managers l.ave instructei
their local art-nts to use every mean
possible to induce their shipper to j
anticipate their car requirements e
they may order what cars are needed"
far enough ahead to Injure cxpediUoui
delivery, and without i-'autng a rush, i
upon the car department from every
station at once.
