THE MORNING OKEGONIAN, FRIDAY, HAY 22, 1903. lo ASHINGTON HOPS irowers Are Still Holding About 4000 Bales, TRICKERY HURTS THE TRADE Western TVasliInBlon. line Are TUriCty, "but Bnclcivard Increase at Acreage Is Five Per Cent Hopllce Due Abont June XO. TACOMA, Wash.. May 20. (Speclal.)- The coming crop of hops in Western Washington is at present rather back ward. A trip through tho large Puyallup Valley yards shows most of the vines at f the tops of the short poles and tiie twine trellises all strung and ready to receive their coming loads. The present acreage In Western Wash ington is 3000. and in Eastern Washing ton, -which means Yakima, the acreage is E000. This is an increase of 5 per cent over last year, about evenly distributed in both districts. The yards owned and -worked by Har man, Klabe? & Co.. which firm now has the famous Meeker yards, comprise 250 acres, located at Puyallup, Chebalis and Bumner. Tils firm has abundant resources j.nd seems to be using them freely In Introducing modern methods Into the growing oil hops. MrKlaber made a spe cial trip ta England last Fall, and closely studied how they do things there. When asked today about general conditions. Mr. Klaber said to an Oregonlan correspond ent: "Western Washington hopvines are. not as far advanced as they should be, on ac count of the present cold weather. All are generally backward, although they look thrifty. If. during the past -week, we had hid warm, forcing weather, the vines would have been further advanced than ever before at this date. Many growers fertilized their yards last Winter. On our yards we applied barnyard ma nure, boiw-and-tolood fertilizer and bone meal on different tracts, and are now- watching results. The fertilized spots are warming up to the occasion, and look best. At present a forecast of the out come -would be purely problematical, and two weeks of warm weather would make the vines spurt and change conditions very materially. The 23 acres that we added to our yards last year will come into bearing this year. "Cultivation of the yards this Spring has been most excellent, for which last year's prlc-c6 were the incentive. There are the usual number of what appear to be missing hills, but many of them will come later and catch up when the vines get to growing a foot a. day. Many of the missing hills are transplanted roots which are slow at starting. In the few spots where we consider our soil weak we allow throe vines to go up each pole, but on the average of the yard only one vine to a pole. It is doubtful if the three-vine pole yields more hops than the one-vine pole. Some parts of our yards yielded a ton of dried hops to the acre, and we con fidently look forward to all our ground yielding a. ton to the acre this year. "As yet no lice have been discovered on the vines here. It Is rather too early. Last year they appeared June 10, and wo opened our spraying campaign against them on June 20. If growers will start spraying by June 20 and have it over with by July 4. they can positively exterminate the hopllce. We now never give a thought to the pest of hoplice except as we do to setting poles and cultivating and pick ing, regarding spraying as one of the ab solutely necessary parts of the work of hopraislng. Any man who has a moldy hop with the appliances now available is a failure as a hopgrower. If spraying Is done carefully and sensibly, there Is no danger of damage by hopllce. The most essential point is to begin early, before the lice get a start, so as to kill off the flrst generation, and then the second can not thrive. Spraying has now been re duced to such a minimum that growers should spray at least twice, and it is bet ter to spray three times. "At present thero are in the hands of Washington growers 4000 bales of their 1902 growth. Yakima has 3000 of these. West ern Washington 1000. Yakima growers have just formed a pool and are holding for 25 cents, and as they are financially able to do so, they will probably stick together. This action practically takes those hops off the market, as the price asked is prohibitory Just now. Western Washington growers are holding their last year's crop at 20' to 25 cents, but can get now only 17 to 19 cents. Our firm has just completed the purchase of lots aggregat ing 400 bales in several localities of West ern Washington at 17 and 18 cents. "About 1000 bales of the coming crop have been contracted for at 14 and 15 cents during the past month, both Here and at Yakima. Growers have been rather backward about accepting such of fers, but during the past week, as the sea son progresses, the offers have begun to look more attractive, and growers have . begun to make themselves safe. "During my recent study of conditions in England I found that one thing that gave Washington hops a bad name there was that growers put sweepings Into their bales. Consumers over there are very rtluctant about buying our hops on account of the sweepings, and Insist that the dealers cut open the bales and throw out the sweepings. This entails a loss on the dealer, and when he buys Wash ington bopr ho has to figure a discount in order to make himself whole. These sweepings are generally put in at the bot tom of the bales, and English buyers re fer to the matter as a Yankee trick. Con sumers over th. re want only clean hops, and when the bales are opened to throw out the sweepings, many good hops are wasted by being thrown out at the same time. I was surprised to find to what a large extent th sweepings were comment-id on. and how much they did against the reputation ot our hops. All such -ratters should be kept out of tho bale?, and is worth far more thrown .away than shipped to a foreign market." PORTLAND MAUKETS." Grain. Flour. Feed. Etc.

Market Cloaca Firm at the Top Level Heavy Daylag for London AccoHnt. NEV,r YORK. May 2L There was a short, sharp conflict between the contend ing elements in the stock market this morning with very feverish fluctuations during the first hour. The pressure to sell fairly overcame the market at one time and carried the level of prices to a new low record for the movement below last night. But the supporting orders, which were In evidence in a very large number from the start, absorbed all of ferings. The pressure to sell had spent itself and the decline was only checked. Half the day's total transactions were done .In the flrst hour. Afterward there was a slow but increasing upward move ment, and the market closed firm and quite active at the top level. There was a continuance of important liquidation from the first hour, as shown by the large concentrated selling in St. Paul and the United States Steel stocks and some of the Canadian stocks which suffered In -yesterday's speculative col lapse. The selling of the United States Steel stocks was based upon the some what easy tone of the Weekly Iron Trade Review, an authority in that trade. A downward tendency In many branches of the trade was pointed out. The argu ment that an abnormal condition In Iron is being abandoned by yielding prices for a more normal and, therefore, more sta ble basis is coupled with tho admission that the price at which buyers and sellers will finally come together is still av puzzle. The selling of St. Paul was believed to be for important interests, owing to Its vol ume. The weakness of Northern Secur ities on the curb, and tho selling of Bur lington joint bonds were attributed to the same cause. But tho same confidence with which the heavy offerings thrown upon the market were absorbed served to relieve the fears of a wiping out of mar gins and shrinkage of collaterals which have aggravated tho weakness of the market for several days past. An Important factor in the support of tho market was the heavy buying for London account, which is estimated all the way from 73.000 to over 100.000 shares for the day. This made Itself effective not only in the stock market, but in the foreign exchange market, where the ap pearance of bills from the arbitrage brok erage houses broke the rate some ten points and left the feasibility of further gold exports a matter of doubt. The re duction of the Bank of England discount rate was the basis of the Improved tone of the English speculation. The weekly statement of the Bank of England, with Its decrease in "other securities' of $3S. 780,000, shows that the enormous loans of last week to float the Transvaal loan have practically all been repaid. It shows also the confidence of the bank's officials that the large supply of foreign capital now lent In London will not be distributed by allowing the interest rate to relax. The likelihood of further demands upon our own good supply is, therefore, diminished. Finally, the decided reaction in the cot ton market served as a restorative of con fldence and relieved the pressure of llqul dation of stocks to cover losses by the shorts In cotton. The market lost much of Its animation on the upward course. and the day's net advances failed to wipe out entirely yesterday's losses. But the demand was well maintained, at the higher level. A feature ot the day was some further wide declines In the market- lng of Inactive stocks. The bond market was irregular. Total sales par value, $2,650,000.

Bailey, an attorney, m&do tho statement that the Arm had assigned in order to pravent. attachments, and to secure an equal distribution of their assets. Ths failure is due to their having lent money on se- 1 curltles which, while very valuable, are not readily convertible Into cash.

Bis Purchase b- Steel Trust ainy Stimulate the Market. CLEVELAND, May 2L The Iron Trade P.e Tiew. In Its Issue this week, says: The expec tation Is that a round lot of bessemer Iron for delivery In the second half ol the year will be bought very shortly by the United States Steel Corporation, and such a purchase may furnish the needed stimulus to the pig Iron market at large. There Is said to be no dis agreement between the steel corporation and the valley furnacte men over the price of tne second half, which will be :n the nelgborbood ot $19 at furnace, but the Insistence of the furnace men on the delivery of a ton of coke by the corporation with ton of Iron delivered under the existing contract has been the sub ject of recent negotiations. A sale of bessemer iron at $19.40 at furnac for third quarter delivery is reported The foundry Iron market has shown a further decline the past week, and sales have been made of Southern No. 2 as low as $15, Bir mingham. Northern Iron Is weaker. In the Chicago market local Iron has declined 50 cents In the week. On the Atlantic seaboards Important sales have ceased.

Then speculation quieted. For a time the market was comparatively Inactive. Prices fluctuated narrowly, with the bull leader show Ins Increasing disposition to support as he found offerings subsiding. A rally ensued, which carried prices upward from 9 to 11 points, but the estimated receipts for tomorrow were heavy, the Interior movements bearish, and from all points a decreasing- demand for spot cotton was reported. It was also stated that, owing to tho highly speculative atmos phere surrounding the market, spot dealers were finding difilculty in obtaining suitable cash advances, and this encouraged the bears. who again began hammering- values. Tha bulls became less aggressive and values grad ually developed a declining tendency, the prices being- forced downward, slowly at first, but gathering rapidity toward the eni ot the session, and' at the close they had reached a new low level for the day.
