THE 3IOR"ING OKEGOIAN, TUESDAY, 3IAT 29, 1506. 15 WORLD'S HOP CROP Promises to Be Smaller Than That of Last Year. CONDITIONS AT PRESENT England Xot Likely to Produce the Enormous Yield She Did in 1905, New York Outlook Is Bad. Good Crops on Coast. HOPS Crop conditions In various parts of the world. WHEAT More Inquiry from Cali fornia. ' BUTTER One city creamery to ad vance price today. EGGS Local market slower. FRUIT Heavy receipts of local ber ries. VEGETABLES Delayed shipments arrive from California. The greatest Interest In the hop trade in all parts of th - world now centers in the condition of the com in crop. It ia too early to hazard any prediction as to the outcome, for the weather in the Bummer months may upset all calculations, but on the basis of the acreage under cultivation and considering the manner in which the roots wintered and the vine have since grown, it must be1 said that everything; favors a good yield, from the preeent outlook, for the world at large. The total production, however, will prob ably not be as large as last year, for in Eng land the conditions are not as good, as a year ago, and the same applies in a measure to the Continental crops. There is also some trouble in the yards of New York State. The crop of the Pacific Coast, unlesw some un foreseen accident happens, -promises to be a record-breaker. On the whole, the pros pect at the present time is not favorable for such high prices as have in some past years gladdened the hearts of growers, nor does It look as If the low prices of lat year can be repeated. But as everyone who has any thing to do with hops to aware, nothing cer tain can be said about the crop until it la ready to be harvested. With the right kind of weather from now on. Oregon will astonish the world with Its 1&06 yield of hops. The acreage la larger than ever before, and- the vine never looked bet ter. Dealers have already begun to estimate the crop and the figures run anywhere from 125.000 to 140.000 bales. Last year the state produced about 113.000 bales. Washington conditions are similar to those In Oregon, and an estimate of a 60,oo0-balea yield for the Northern state haa been made by one dealer, though others think this too high. The Cali fornia crop la coming on well. AH eyes, however, are on England, where the growth of the hops has been backward, caused by unseasonable weather. In review ing the situation, the Kentish Observer of May 10 said: Owing to the recent cold and frosty weather the hop plant is somewhat backward and ty ing is only Just commencing. But the milder temperature of the last few days has given the young shoots a good start and they ap pear to be coming away strong and healthy. There has been considerable grubbing of the hop area in Kent and Sussex since the close of last season, and the returns for the cur rent year may be expected to show a marked decrease In the acreage as compared with lIKo. Hop cultivation, however, sat ill finds favor with a large number of farmers, many of whom have extended their grounds during the past Winter. The wire and string system of training is mill on the increase, especially In Ea and Mid Kent. The following extracts from New York pa pers explain conditions In that state: As the season advances and work progresses In the yards additional news of Winter kill ing of the roots is received. The prevalence of this seems to be widespread and the effect unusually severe. Many growers, discouraged by this and the low prices prevailing, have plowed up their yards. Tying is now in progress. Coblesklli Index. Reports from all sections of Schoharie County all agree that the old yards have shown a large percentage of dead hills. Many growers are replacing these with sets and new root, but in many places the yards have been plowed up. The cold weather has re tarded the growth of the vine, but the warm weather now with us has caused them to climb, and tying will be general this week. Schoharie Republican. Attention is chiefly devoted to the new crop, which was reported as doing well un til the recent cold snap, which has retarded its growth. It is claimed by some that the frost was so heavy on Sunday night as to damage the vine somewhat. Others think they will soon outgrow it. Watervilie Times. A statistical statement of the hop crop of the world for the last three years. Just Is sued by the Department of Agriculture, will prove of Interest to growers and dealers.

Better Demand for Wheat,- Owing to Crop Damage In Southern State. Thre is a better Inquiry from California for wheat. The heavy rains In that state In the last few days are reported, In advices re ceived by dealers yesterday, to have done con siderable damage by lodging the grain. BusU ness in the local market was small. Prices were firm and unchanged. The Merchants Exchange reports the Amer ican visible wheat supply as follows: -a . Bushels. Decrease.

Heavy Reorlpta of Local Berries Weaken Market. Front st;-eet had a full supply of vegetables yesterday. In addition to a liberal allow ance ot local truck, the delayed train brought up a large supply of California produce, par ticularly beans and peas. Most of the lat ter were In good shape and cleaned up well. but some had become overheated and had to be sacrificed. The rains la California will cause lighter shipments to be made to reach here Wednesday. Receipts of local strawberries were very heavy and weakened the market for ship ments from more distant points. Hood Riv ers were quoted at $2.753 and Roseburg and Salem berries at f 22. 25 a crate. Cher ries were abundant and sold well. The first Royal Anns of the season were received and brought $1.50. Two crates of apricots ar rived and sold for $2.50. The potato market Is stagnant with no im mediate prospect of improvement, though It is thought San Francisco may want some old Oregon in June. ADVANCE IN BUTTER, On City Creamery Will Raise Its rrice To day Egg Market Blow. The announcement was made by a lead ing city creamery yesterday that it would advance the price of butter today to 21 44 cents, which is 1H cents above the price that has been prevailing. Other creamery men considered the market weak, so there will probably be more or less objection to the advance. The production, of butter has been very heavy of late and considerable J difficulty has been experienced in some quartess in disposing of the surplus make. A change in the weather that would stimu late the consumption of ice cream would help the butter market generally, but no settled period of warm weather la looked for yet. ' The egg market was described by most dealers as sluggish. Receipts were not heavy, but the local demand was backward and very few shipping orders were received. An attempt was made to hold the market at 20 cents, but only a few sales were made at that price, moat of the business passing at 19(fl 10 H cents. Bank . Clearings.

CLOSES NEARLY STAGNANT Large Part of the Dealings Are in Reading. Which Is in the Hands of a Skillful Organization. NEW YORK. May 28. Ths speculation In stocks today sank into apathy. Tbera was a spurt of slight activity in the first hour of trading. The lion's share of attention was given to Reading, and if the congested deal ings In this stock were deduced, the volume of the market would make a smaller show, lng even then on last Monday, the dullest day' thus far in the present year. Reading Is in the hands of an elaborate market organization, and Is closely responsive to control. It opened lower than on Satur day, but was quickly turned upwards. News regarding the movement was not forthcom ing beyond what has done duty at previous stages. Something was made of a published rumor of the coming retirement of the presi dent of the Pennsylvania, to be succeeded by the present head of the Reading, and the assumption was added of closer relations be tween the two properties. Some of the extreme dullness of the trad ing was attributed to the breaking of the week by a holiday on Wednesday, habitual operators disliking an interval of closed' mar kets which deprive them of opportunity to act on sudden developments. The fact that subscriptions fall -due tomorrow on the $50, 000,000 of Pennsylvania notes also had the effect of deterring some traders from operat ing. Money rates were firm today, but the money market showed no signs of disturb ance from the pendency .of this transaction. Assurance has been given "that the funds paid for the notes will be left on deposit with the banks and only drawn upon In limited amounts as required lor the purposes of the company. This would reduce the operation largely to one of book transfers of accounts and would lessen the chance for disturbance in the money market. Some shifting of loans Is always necessary, however, jn a financial transaction of this ' magnitude, and as it Is to be followed by the month-end settlement and on Friday by the payment of subscrip tions on the new Chicago & Northwestern stocks, the professional traders in stocks were Inclined to operate cautiously. The London market was in a conservative mood on account of the stock exchange settle ment this week, and was disturbed by the Russian outlook. " - - The only interest In our market was due to movements in special stocks. American Sugar and American Beet Sugar started up wards together . asi they did several weeks ago and revived some rumors of intended changes In trade relations. The rumors were without any confirmation. The , usual Mon day rise in Brooklyn Transit on the strength of Sunday seaside traffic was reversed, owing to yesterday's inclement weather and poor traffic. There was quite a sharp decline daring the first hour of the trading. The rise in Read ing had the effect of checking this and partly overcoming it. But when prices got back to about Saturday's closing level, the trading became listless and Indifferent and the .drift of prices was scarcely 'appreciable. The addi tion to the Agricultural appropriation bill In the Senate of a meat Inspection bill and the agitation following has added to the feeling of possible damage to values from the spread of sentiment against corporations on account of abuses. Conditions In the late market, bo came lethargic and the market closed about stagnant. Bonds were irregular. Total sales, par val ue, 11,500,000. United States bonds were un changed on call.

CHICAGO, May 28. Sentiment In the wheat pit today was bearish, but selling- was held In check by fresh damage reports. The open ing quotations were at the lowest point of the day, local traders who were prompted By absence of rain In the Spring wheat terri tory selling freely. The fact that rain had fallen In Illinois. Indiana and the Ohio Val ley aleo created bearish Bentlmont early in the day. Toward the end of the first hour shorts bought freely because of an official forecast of rain tonight in Minnesota and other sections of the Spring wheat country. Later came dispatches from Kansas City claiming that many damage reports were coming in from Western Missoui. South western Nebraska and Northeastern Kanea. Thla strengthened prices somewhat, and dur ing the last half of the session the feeling In the pit was firmer. The market closed steady. July opened ViSIsC to Hf o lower, at 82e83Hc, advanced to 83e, and closed e lower, at 8314e83c.

Later, however, the market 'became strong on covering by shorts and buying by cash houses. The market closed strong at the highest point of the day. July opened ?o to ic lower, at 47,c to 4Tie-7Hc. sold up to iShic and closed 4c higher, at S Wet weather in Illinois had a depressing effect on the oats market at the opening, but later a firmer feeling developed In sympathy with the strength of corn.
