A reduced yield of- Apricots from early esti
mates U now admitted without further ques
tion by the trade In general, the reduction be
ing estimated at from 15 to 20 per cent. The
goods are running small and weigh light,'
which explains tbe falling off. The shrinkage
in the size of Prunes Is also severe, and large
Pises will be very scarce this year. It is ex
pected that the other cured Fruits will show
the same conditions as the goods come in. All
this of course affects the weight in tons. Other
wise there Is nothing new, the market being

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 19—5 p. m
Weather Report.
A lair crop of pears has been marketed: ap
ples have dropped considerably in some sec
tions, but the crop will yield fairly well and
be above the average in quality. Root crops all
need rain, aid potatoes will be smaller than
u&ual bec^U'Si of the dry weather.
Pastures are very short and the supply of
milk continues to decrease. Stock in some
sections is also beginning to lose flesh. The
third crop ot alfalfa 1:3!= been secured ia good
condition with quality and yields up to the
average.
The grain crop has now nearly all been
threshed and the farmers in many Bections are
hauling it to the warehouses and mills. The
jields. although generally below expectations,
¦will probably amount to an average crop, es
pecially of oats and tarley.
Hop picking is drawing to a close; the yields
are good ar.d the quality is above the average.
Prune drying will begin this week. The prune
ctop is variable; some orchards will yield a
full crop, while others will not pay for picking;
those orchards on high land, as a rule, will
yield the best.
The weather has been dry and very smoky
in the western portion of the State. On Sat
urday the winds became westerly and the
cmcKe drifted to the eastern sections, and
smoky conditions became general in all parts
of the State. The forepart of the week was
warm and sultry, but the last three days were
cool and seasonable.
The report of Edward A. Beals. section di
rector United States Weather Bureau, for the
Oregon Crop Bulletin for the week ended Sep
tember ltJ is as follows:
Oregon Crop Bulletin.
Butter and Eggs are both dearer, supplies
being lighter In the wholsale markets. There
Is no change In Cheese.
Meats and Poultry remain unchanged, but
Fish is In better supp!y and several kinds are
cheaper.
There is nothing 'new in Fruits and Vege
tables. Both are plentiful.

FAMILY RETAIL MARKET, j
Failures for the week numbered 199 in the
United States, against 157, and 25 In Canada,
against 20 a year ago.
Leather Is quiet, with no sign of weakness,
but large receipts of cattle at Western mark
ets caused a slight reduction in prices of
packer hides from the record-breaking figures
that have prevailed.
Recent advances in tin and copper, were not
maintained, supplies proving fully equal to
demands.
• Official returns of foreign commerce during
August show the improvement in exports over
the last preceding month that was indicated
by weekly movement ; of merchandise and
staples and imports far surpassed the cor
responding month in preceding years. This
liberal buying in foreign markets testifies to
well sustained domestic consumption, particu
larly as to. iron and steel, but Imports of cool
are abnormal and will be still more of an
element in subsequent statements.
Domestic trade continues favorable, higher
rates for. money having j thus far failed to
check industrial operations or lessen confi
dence. The -stringency is considered of only
temporary Importance to speculators, whll*
large imports, of gold promise relief. Crop3
are making encouraging progress despite some
injury from frost. Fall distribution of mer
chandise has begun unusually early while the
volume of orders already placed indicates
much* the heaviest aggregate on record. At
the South and West conditions . are especially
favorable. Shipping departments are working
vigorously and payments j are promptly made.
The car congestion causes complaint, yet rail
road earnings thus far available for Septem
ber show a gain of 4.9 per .cent, over, last
year and 15.7 per cent over 1900.

The selling position seems to be the strong
est side of the price situation, except possibly
in the cereals and agricultural products gen
erally. Even ' here the fine financial position
of farmers enables them to market their pro
ducts slowly and no accumulation of moment is
recorded except in cattle receipts, which this
week surpasses all records. Notable strength
is exhibited in manufactured goods. ¦ Woolen
goods advanced slightly and the mills are ac
tively employed. The coal situation deserves
notice. The delay in the settlement of the
strike throws increased pressure on the bi
tuminous product and prices for that product
are now at least one-quarter higher than at
any point since the strike. A long season at
full time will be necessary to restore stocks of
anthracite to full dimensions. •
Hides have eased in price. Lumber is ac
tive and the strength of prices is notable.
There has been a slight easing of the car
famine as to coal and coke supplies, and the
furnace situation in the valleys is therefore
bettered, but ¦ the Eastern mills are complain
ing of delayed supplies.

EASTERN MARKETS.
ICEW YORK, Sept. 13. — If to-morrow's banfc
rtatement does not make a rtrong showing,
speculators who bought stocks to-day will be
dt appointed. The buying- was based on the
•xpeotatlon that the surplus reserve of the
kanks has been replenished as a result of this
Week's events. The publication of the usual
preliminary estimates of the cash movements
of the WecX somewhat chilled the hope of a.
good statement, as a decrease in cash re
serves of more than $3,000,000 was indicated.
Ot' this amount the Sub-Treasury has absorbed
eome tSJteOjbOO. including deposits of currency
lor telegraphic transfer to the interior. The
regular movement by express on routine ope
?- rations makes u:> the lest, but It is not im
probable that there have been special move
ments of money not included in these known
operations. The shipment ot" several million
dollars from Chicago, reported as made last
Saturday, might figure as such a transaction,
and reports have coni» from other Interior wn
t'-rs of various amounts Fhipped to New York
Vt take advantage of the hlg*i rates for money.
It is never possible to forecaFt accurately the
changes in tho loan Item, but :t is confidently
believed in the Etre-?t that there has been a
large contraction of loan accounts during the
v.-eek. Payment of subscriptions on the Ore
pon Short Line bond issue en Monday will
result in eome contraction. The engagements
of cold during the week would a!so figure as
a transfer of loan* from the local bank to for
eigners. The stock market has not reflected
any liquidation during the week. The steadi
ness of the call loan money market to-day was
L&ken &k an indication that the banks are
strengthened. The leader of the market to-day
vas St. Paul, which was 5% points over last
night at one time with a sympathetic effect
on the whoie lift. ' This movement was unex
plained, but the early tendency of Missouri
Pacific to keep in company revived rumors of
alliance between the two systems. There was
s. setback in Missouri Pacific later when the
statement of earnings appeared, showing a
decrease In net of tGC3,936. The stock lost
most of Its pain and the other Southwesterns
turned Byrr.pathetically heavy. The fact that
a 4 v>er cent dividend is included in the price
of 6t Paul has given foundation for Us
•strength and the old comparison with the price
paid Burlington which was $200 was also re
viv«-d. Th#> riMr above $200 of Hock Island far
rished en Additional parallel. The latter stock
was conspicuous for the number, of cash trans
actions as the rlsht of excha'ige in new eecu
rfttta expires to-morrow and there is no stock
