Quality Will Be Maintained hy Pick- ing Clean, Properly Curing:, Etc SALEM. Aug. 28. (Special.) "If Oregon Ihopgrcwers will pick their bops clean, use onty gxxi sulphur, and bale them without I mlx'rjr in any refuse, they will find a good market The reputation ai Oregon hops ls grow.g every year." This is the declara- Stlon cf Jahn Carmicfeael. a wcil-knewn English hepbuyer, who returned this morning from a three-months' visit to England. 'The outlook for the Oregon hopgrower for the next two or three years looks very bright to me. While I nnot attempt to say what price will be !s year or next year. I think It is certain that the returns will pay the grower a good profit on his labor and investment. " Oregon hops are every year becoming bet ter known, and. for one reason, because the J growers are careful in drying them. Most of tV. rwi-rm nit t- rmlv refined sulphur. I while la England crude sulphur 1 generaUy ..., TV ..ftn 1 ntitlf 1VM 111 HODS & I cleaner, brighter t.ppearance. vnlle we cruae eulphur gives then:, a dirty appearance. While I was In Eur land I attended a convention 01 honmnrer. and was asked to address them upon the subjett of aopgrowlng In this coun try- I told them, among omer umst, " Oregon the best growers use refined eulphur 1 and after the merits of the two grades bad been discussed, the growers adopted a resolu tion declaring that hereafter they will use no crude sulphur. The refined article costs a little more- per pound, but It Is the cheapest In the end. "Vers! often irwa a grower Is finishing tne work of baling his hops, be will 'clean up around the baler, and dump the refuse mat ter Into the baler. Tne last bale win therefore contain not only hops and hop dust, but often straw and even stable manure, chips, etc There won't be much of the foul matter, per haps, but when n brewer opens a bale and finds that kind of stuff In It, he Is disgusted and the whole lot of bops depreciates In his estimation. Precautions should be taken to let nothing but clean hops go Into a bale, for every bale that contains refuse will hurt the reputation of Oregon hops. "I find that Oregon bops have been gaining In reputation over New Tone hops because they are picked cleaner. Growers hould re member this, and see that as much :is possible of the leaves and stems are ept oat. "I cannot say much about the market for the present crop, My advice to growers, bow. ever, would be not to selltbeir hops until samples have reached England, so that the I English buyers can make an offer for them. I think the consignment of 6000 bales of Ore- gon hops to England was poor policy, for as soon cs the hop trade learned the pool had been consigned, buyers were Inactive. They were afraid to buy when there was a probabil ity of C0O0 bale of American bops being dumped upon the market. . I grower is I product is I "But the main problem for the to raise good hops. The Oregon steadily growing in favor, and by picking clean, properly curing and keeping free from refuse In baling, the quality will be maintained and Improved. The English buyers like hops with a bright jJlow color, but do not object to a slight tinge of red. The bops should not be too green." Picking Begins Monday. INDEPENDENCE. Or.. Aug. 2S. (Special.) A meeting of the growers here was held yesterday afternoon and it was agreed to pay 50 cents per box for picking hops. Nearly all the runs will begin picking Monday. The growers state there Is but little mold discern- able, but they with to get the hops leathered as soon as possible, as the conditions In the yards are such that If a few day of foggy weather or a small rain should come, the mold would appear very rapidly. There ap pears to be a shortage of pickers and efforts are being made to secure outside help as soon as possible. Most of the yards will begin at least a week earlier than the' notified their outside help. II. Hill has commenced In his yards with a small crew and he Is depending on town help at the present time. Walker Bros,, Webs, Coopers, Fitchard & Burton, and a number of others will begin Monday or Tuesday at the latest. The weather has cleared up and the growers state that they have favorable conditions confronting them now. and think they will be able to save al most the whole crop. POOL OP OATS SOLD. Waldo Hill'K Association Gets 301-2 and 311-2 for Product. SALEM. Aug. 2S. (Special.) W. W. Hunt, of Sublimity, reports that the Waldo Hill's Grain Association last night sold its pool of oats, consisting of 27,000 sacks, to G. A. West- gate, of Albany. The price received was 30J4 cents for Spring oats and 31 Vic for Fall oats. This price was for a 32-pound bushel. The wheat was not holi. Sheep Shipped Front Salem. SALEiL Or.. Aug. 2S. (Special.) IL C Downing today shipped to Portland two car loads of sheep, about one-third of the lot be ing stock sheep. The price received was $2 to $2.10 per hundred. About four carloads of sheep a week are shipped from Sslem. PORTLAND MARKETS. Grain. Flour, Feed, Etc. The tone of the wheat market tras a little less strong yesterday, but prices were not quoted any lower. Exporters are out of the market and will .not take hold until they can buy oa a shipping basis. This is 76 cents. Portland, for club, yet sales have been made around that figure In the interior to millers. There is a lot of wheat In the country to be exported unground and as the Liverpool prices are not going to advance In order to meet the views of Pacific Coast producers, it is evident that values roust get to a parity before ex port buying will set in. In the meantime. shippers here are resting on their oars wait- lng for farmers prices to drop, and farmers, stimulated by otters by the milling Interests. are lwldlng for the prevailing rales or even better. The only district where offerings are at all liberal are In this valley. As for the future of the wheat market, opinions are naturally far apart, the trade believing present- prices entirely too high and growers con sidering wheat ob good property and likely to go higher.

GESEn.lL ADVANCE. Growing' ConSUeflce In the Money Market Oatloet Tarkisk News la Ignored. XElV YORK Aug. 23. The stock market had Its upward turn again today. The vol ume of dealings was clearly larger than In yesterday's almost stagnant market and the fluctuations were rather wider, but the market retained Its highly professional character and give little evidence of any Interest originating outside the boardroom. The principal reason for the movement of the market seemed still to be that It was a reversal, of that of the previous day. Thus the morning news that the squadron of Ameri can warships had been ordered to proceed to Beirut, prepared to exact reparation for the murder of our Vice- Consul, did not create so much as a ripple In the stock market, al though the report of an appeal for protec tion for American missionaries in Syria prom ised an additional complication. There is an undisguised confidence In the 'financial dls- trlct. however, that this Incident is capable of adjustment by diplomatic means. The dbv cusslon upon measures for repression of trusts, precipitated before the session of the Ameri can Bar Association, might have caused great trepidation In Wall street In some of 1W recent moods, but that and the Western flood sews were equally ignored with the Turkish Inci dent. There, is a growing confldenco In the money market outlook which was fostered by several of the day's developments, and this was prob ably the principal factor In advancing prices of stocks. The reports from Washington that the Secretary of the Treasury had accumu lated some $40,000,000 of internal revenue pay-( meats, which would be available for deposit In National banks, was a greatly reassuring factor as the possible means of relief for tha money market by tho Treasury Department has been a matter of considerable doubt and conjecture. As" it Is, the question remains of an adequate supply of Government bonds by the banks as security to obtain these deposits or the future acceptance by the Secretary of the Treasury of municipal and state bonds la resumption of last year's policy, which has been considered of doubtful expediency. The Incidental explanation that the $10,000,000 ac cumulation was a contingent provision for Panama Canal payments was received as an official confirmation of the unlikeliness of the payments for this year. The special strength of the Pacifies, led by Union Pacific, was attributed to the obstacles thus Indicated for the Panama project. The principal movements cf currency for the week show that the movement is still In favor of this center as against the Interior, the In dicated gain of that account being over $2, 000.000. In the last week of August last year. the loss to the Interior was as much as that and of tho year before was about $3,500,000. While this delay In the Interior -demand for currency Is In force, the banks themselves are showing signs of weakness with the policy of keeping their resources in call loan at a rate btlow that which they are paying to trust com panies and Interior banks for their deposits. The result was shown today in somewhat fewer offerings of fends for time loans and an appreciably easier tono In that market. Mer cantile paper was also In somewhat improved demand. Prices of active stocks advanced pretty gen erally between 1 and 2 points and consider ably larger gains were shown by some of the specialties without explanation. The strength. of Amalgamated was In sympathy with copper securities generally at other points and an improved sentiment In the trade for that metal. The market closed heavy and somewhat below the best. The bond market was dull and Irregular. Total sales, par value. $2.2e3,000. United States 2s advanced t& per cent and the old 4s U Pr cent. The new 4s. reg., declined hi per cent on the last call. Atchison '. do preferred Baltimore & Ohio do preferred Canadian Pacific Central of New Jersey. inesapcake &. Ohio....
