WarshIp FIRE Explained.

Philadelphia :. After thorough ex-
animation while the damage was being
repaired, officials Of the New York
Shipbuilding company are convinced
that the fire which swept the hold
Of the dreadnought Oklahoma several
weeks ago was caused BY spontaneous
combustion.
Work on the latest dreadnought is
being rushed. The Oklahoma was
to have been ready for delivery In Oc-

notwithstanding such untoward con
ditions, business Is bound to show dis
tinet advancement.
Confidence in the future, according
to the committee, Of which A. w.
Douglas, of st. Louis, is chairman,
has grown space with the steady prog
ress Of the crops and the slow but con
tinusl improvement in industrial af-
| fairs.
There still continues, however, to be
conservatism and caution in buying
and in new commitments. The reason
seems to be that it is better business
to wait until the results of the crops
are known beyond question before ven-
turing a more extended way. and as q
consequence stocks of merchandise
throughout the country continue light.
The continued wet weather has done
more good than harm to the crops, it
il said.
The conditions Of mining vary
sharply as to the commodity mined.
Copper mines are running full time
and new ones are opening up. Zinc
and lead mines are busy and the min
ing of iron ores is improving.
There is little business in naval
stores because Of lack Of demand.
Phosphate mines Of Florida still re-
main closed on account of the Euro
pean war. Unfavorable reports come
from the fisheries Of Oregon, Washing
ton, the Gulf and the Atlantic Coast.
Manufacturing varies much, accord.
ing to the article made, though in gen.
eral it is quiet. Steel and iron bus
mess shows distinct Improvement,
with increasing orders. The manufac-
turers in different sections who have
orders for war contracts are exceeding
ly busy.

Peaehes PIentIfuI and cheap.

Portland Peaches are abundant on
Front street and sell fairly well. Ore
gon HaIes brought rs to so cents, ac-
cording to size. The larger part of
the offerings were small size. The
best California peaches were held at
so cents. Local apples were more
plentiful. Astrachans were quoted at
rs cents to 81 and Grayensteins at
$1.25, with an occasional sale at $3.50.
Huckleberries are coming in in a more
liberal way. The general price is 8
cents a pound, but fancy large berries
from the coast are quoted at 10 cents.
Hop Growers Want Hot Weather.
Portland = Hop crop conditions in
this state do not improve, and unless q
hot spell Of weather sets in very soon
the quality Of the crop is certain to be
spotted and the quantity reduced.
Where yards have been thoroughly
sprayed the vermin attack has been
kept down, although in some instances
the attack is still persistent, even
after the third spraying. The worst
are from yards where growers
neglected TO spray II Is difficult to
see how these yards can have other |
than very poor quality.
Oats Bought at Higher Level.
Portland - The feature Of recent
session at the Merchants Exchange
was the frmness of the oats market.
Five hundred tons were sold at S26. so /
for prompt delivery. The demand for
oats, however, is not large.
Wheat was steady 10 firm, and bids
were raised to 2 cents for the various
sorts. Asked prices were in no case
less than cents above offers. A lit
lie business is being done In the coun-
Try in club at So TO 81 cents.
Portland buying In this state
Is now almost at an end and the atten-
tion of the trade Is centered on the
selling movement In the Eastern mar
