THE MORNING OREGOXIAN, TUESDAY, JTJXE 26, 1906- 13 OF FINEST QUALITY Oregon Hops This Year Will Grade at the Top. ACCORDING TO INDICATIONS Growers of This State Will Have a Material Advantage Over Those of Other Sections Mar- N kct Is Quiet. HOPS Oregon crop prom lees to be of superior quality. WOOL Better movement In the Val ley. FRUIT Good holMay demand from country. VEGETABLES Beans in oversupply. BUTTER City creameries report food movement. EGGS Local market active and steady. From a close inspection of condition in the hopyards, hopmen are now convinced that Oregon will not only have a record-breaking crop In point of size, but that the quality this year will be exceptionally good, and, taking the crop aa a whole, better than that of last year. The volume of the crop is gratifying, as it will mean that much more profit for the producers, tf prices are on a profitable basis, and even if they are not, more money will be circulated by harvesting operations among a class where it will be most needed. But of even more importance to the hop In dustry of this state ts the question of qual ity. Oregon has been steadily forging to the front in late yeara as a producer of a su perior grade of hops and its reputation Is now well established in all the consuming countries. Last "Winter H was quality that carried the Oregon market through the darkest- periods when in other states hop were peillng several cents below the cost of produc tion. Should a crop of choice or export grade be raisad here this year, as now seems prob able, the growers of Oregon will have a de cided advantage, arf the conditions are not so good in the other American states a here, and the foreign crops are seriously threat ened by the lice plague. All the hops needed In the world can be grown in Oregon, and probably will be when the population is large enough to take care of the crops-, to attain that end, but the quality of the product muat continue to show a superiority over that of other section. Therefore, It behooves the farmers to watch closely the insect visita tion that Lb now upon some of the yards, and when the proper time comes, take steps to eradicate it. The market presents no new features, as the unsold supply Is in such small compass that trading is naturally restricted. Only one transaction waa reported yesterday, the pur chase by A. J. Ray, of 14 bales from John B. Swan, of this city. The hops were grown at Aurora and brought 10 Vi cents. VALLEY WOOL MOVKS FREELY. Foos at Alrlie and King's Valley Bought by Hnlem Firm. Wool dealers report free offerlnKS of Val ley wools. Country merchants are buying readily from growers at the present prices and the latter show a readiness to accept the reduced market quotations. Two largo pool lots were bought in the last few days by William Brown & Co., of Salem, at 23 cents, which is a shade better than the bids of the Portland dealers. One lot at Airlie comprised 4000 fleeces, and the King's Valley pool 2ut fleeces. No new sales of importance are reported from Eastern Oregon, where not half of the clip has been sold yet. "Wool Is beginning to arrive freely at Elgin, according to the Recorder, which says: The total wool clip of Wallowa County la estimated at 1,750,000 ' pounds, and the handling of tht enormous crop will result In the expenditure of a considerable sum of money to the haulers and to warehouses of this city. The wool is being stored in the Elgin Forwarding Company's warehouse and It requires several men to look after this part of the work. HOLIDAY TRADE IN FRUIT. Country Orders for Fourth of July Supplies Are Large. The fruit market Is already feeling the effects of the coming Fourth of July trade, orders from the country being heavy. The holiday trade of the city will open up later ta the week. The market yesterday was well supplied with most varieties and- was ac tive. Lemons were in strong demand and acid up to $G for the beet with cheaper grades down to $4.50. Oranges moved freely at the former prices. Some navels were offering at $4.5o4.75. Apricots, peaches and straw berries were in light supply, but plums, cher ries and other small fruits were, abundant. Cantaloupes were quoted lower at $4.50&5. A straight car of cantaloupes from Coachella will arrive today. Receipts of wax beana from The Dalles were unusually heavy and the price dropped. Hot house tomatoes were also more plentiful. New Oregon potatoes are coming in freely and are easier. A car of Sacramento onions ar rived in the forenoon. Butter Moving Better. . -The city creameries reported- a better move ment in butter yesterday, and some of them quoted the market as firm. Conditions on Front street were not materially changed. Ftore butter waa In active demand and the market strong. .. Eggs were steady at laet week's prices. Re r ceipts of Oregon are small, fcut a plentiful uppiy of Eastern eggs is assured. The de mand is good and the future of the market will depend on the arrival. -v Practically no poultry came In yesterday. Bank Clearings.

FAVORITES ARE FORCED UP Decline in Copper L.ater Breaks Amalgamated, Which Carries the Entire List Down With It. Advance in Interest. NEW YORK. June 25. The stock market gave evidence today for a time of eome ef forts at benevolent control. ThI. had the ef fect of putting restraint upon the pressure to sell which was bo prominent laet week. The tone, nevertheless, was one of dull depression, and there was no attempt to inaugurate any actual rise in prices. The principal influence In the market In Its effect on sentiment was the evidence of support for stocks which are reputed to be the favorite medium for market operations' by .apitalifts in the so-called Standard Oil group. Movements In the general market responded quite closely to the action of these stocks, , St. Paul, Amalgamated Copper, Union Pa cific and Southern Pacific are conspicuous ex amples. The notable weakness of these stocks on Saturday aroused fears In the ranks of the habitual speculative element that pro nounced weakness In the stock market was to be the reflection of the administration plan for prosecution of the Standard Oil Company which was formally announced- at Washing ton last week. Today, Uunlon Pacific and St. Paul showed evidence of aggresrtve support, advancing at one time a point or more, and Amalgamated Copper was lifted again and again to above par, where it closed on Satur day. This had the effect of creating an im pression that the Standard Oil group intend ed to offer support to the market agaln6t the depressing influence of the hostile Inten tion of the administration. The period of strength in these stocks was identical with that of the greatest resisting power In the general market, and the whole list went off to the lowest of the day, when Amalgamated Copper gave way late In the day and showed signs of an abandonment of support. The comparative firmness of United States Steel and of Pennsylvania were of sym pathetic benefit to the rest of the market. While sentiment was affected by these speculative considerations, there was no change in actual conditions affecting stocks. The weekly reports of the railroad traffic officials admitted some contraction in tr shipments . of merchandise, which was at tributed to the prevailing uncertainty over the crop outlook. Saturday's rumors of a pro posed steel combination to rival the United States Steel Corporation had some elaboration, but a stiffening tendency in the foundry Iron market was of more influence. The commod ity markets were still unsettled by varying reports of crop damage. The approaching ad journment of Congress was cited ae promising relief from some of the factors of depression In the stock market. Interborough Metropoli tan made, another downward plunge on ac count of the call made upon members of the syndicate for a payment of 90 per cent of their subscriptions. Interest rates for time loar.u continued to advance and the six months' bills were raised from 5 to pef cent and for seven and eight months, 5 per cent was the asking rate, with 5A per cent strongly bid. Foreign ex change continued to decline In compliance with the demand for money, but the London market adopted protective measures by ad vancing the selling price of gold In that market. The weakness of the copper market in Lon don was believed to have some special effect on Amalgamated Copper, the break In which proved- finally effective in weakening the whole market and the last prices were near the low est of the day and showed general declines for most of the active leaders of 1 to 2 points and In a few cases more. Bonds were heavy. Total sales, par value, $1,105,000. United States bonds were all un changed on call. CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS. Closing Sales. High. Low. biu.
