V TIIE 3IORXIXG OREGOXIAN, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 13, 1907. 13 HOPS MOVING FUST Low Pricey Have Stimulated Business. BUYERS PURCHASE FREELY Purchases of Lacbmnnd & Pincus In Last Few Days Have Amount ed to 2 700 Bales Strong Demand for Export. Contracting of the 1907 wool clip 1 well under way la moat of the. Western. States except Oregon and Washington. Between a quarter and a third of the Idaho clip has been bought up, mostly by Eastern buyers. In the southeastern part of the state, where the buying has been quite heavy, the prices paid generally ranged from 20o to 22c. In the Welser and Boise sections, much busi ness has been done at 10c to 18c. These prices prevailed close to the Oregon boun dary, but so far as can be learned no trans actions have taken place on this side of the line. The most Important deal so far made In Idaho was the contracting of the Wood Livestock Company's clip at Spencer. About 150,000 fleeces are Involved and the price specified Is said by local dealers to be 22o or 23c. though the Impression prevails in the Ha.it that better than 2-1 c was paid. It Is understood this clip was' bought by an Eastern mill. A large percentage of the wools of Wyom ing have been sold on the sheep's back, with the heaviest trading centering around Cas par and Douglas. In Nevada, according to reports, about 1. 000,000 pounds nave been secured at 17c to 18c. while in Utah fully one-third of the clip has been bought up. The total amount contracted for In what Is known as the triangle section. Including parts of Wyoming, Utah and Idaho, Is placed roughly at 6,000,000 pounds. The buyer of the Massachusetts Woolen Mills, F. L. Orcult. who is now at Salt Lake, ex pects to finish up his work with the pur chase all told of some 4,000,000 pounds and will distribute about JSOO.OOO among the sheep raisers. His principal fleld of opera tion has been In Northern Utah and he has cleaned up about all the wool on the St. Anthony branch of the Oregon Short IJne and has contracted for the entire output of Kmart & Webster, and the Ricks Sheep Company, amounting to 1,000,000 pounds. He has also contracted for nearly all the wool grown in the Soda Springs district and in the triangle. He has also closed a big deal with Zclmer & Bltton, of Ogren. Local wool men who have returned from Eastern Oregon say the growers, aa a rule, are quite willing to make contracts at lfto to 20c, according to section, but the dealers, for some reason or another, show no In clination to take hold at present. The earns applies to the situation In Eastern Wash ington. The sheep have wintered well and there has been hut very little loss. TJie prospects favor clips of good condition In Oregon, Washington and Idaho. A few very small lots of old wool are still held at Baker City and Pendleton, hut It Is- safe to say there will not be a pound of it left by the time the new clip comes in. EGGS AT TWENTY-FIVE CENTS. Local Buying Continues Slow, bat Outside Orders Are Good. The egg market held close to the 25c mark. Receipts were liberal and the local buying very alow, but good shipping orders were on hand to be filled and thta prevented an accumulation. A fair Inquiry was reported for live poul try, especially chickens, and the small re ceipts were quickly disposed of. The car of liastern poultry, lately arrived, is moving off readily and another car will be made up the latter part of the week. The butter market ruled firm with a good movement both In city and outside make. Grocery Trade Notes. Grocery Jobbers report a more active movement In gallon goods. Prices are firm with an upward tendency. ' An advance of $1 per ton la quoted In granulated and half-ground salt. . In an Interview In an Eastern trade pa per, Frank A. Aplln says of the dried fruit outlook In California: "The rainfall has been fully up to the normal to date, and It Is figured that & large crop of apri cots is due. It Is believed there will be a larger crop of peaches than Inst year, but a very much smaller crop of prunes, ow ing to the large crop of 1806 taxing the bearing trees severely." Why Coffee noes Not Advance. The world's visible supply of coffee on February I, 1007, as compiled by the New York CofTee Exchange, Is shown in the following table: Bap SI Its In Europe 6.BS2.7.18 I: lo . . 6O3.0OO . .3.UK4.000 63.000 Pa nt os .....

In view of the dullness prevailing In the KaMern market, local buyers of cascara bark have reduced their quotations. It w thought that the Eastern trade would make Its appearance in the market after the hoi days, but six weeks have passed now with scarcely an inquiry from either consumers or dealera it Is evident that the big drug houses are still liberally supplied and most of the handlers of cascara on this side of the continent have about given up hope of any advance In prices this season. Veal Receipt Very Heavy. Receipts of veal on Front street Tester day were the largest of the season, fully 100 coming In. Arrivals of pork were also very heavy, but both veal and pork moved off freely and quotations, as a rule, were fully maintained. The almost entire absence of livestock at the yards for some time past Is probably all that prevented a slump on Front street. Tramp Car of Rannnaa Offered. A tramp car of bananas Intended for Spokane was unloaded here yesterday. Two cars of celery and three of vegetables came In from the South, some of which was in poor condition, prices ruled steady all around. .Business was fair. Rank Clearings.

BUT NOT' IN THIS STATE Oregon Growers Would Sell, but Buyers Hold Off Trading Has Been Very Active in Idaho and Also In Utah. The reduction In the price of hops, though unpleasant to the growers, has resulted, in a . decidedly active market. Prices in the neighborhood of 10c are attractive to the buyers and though a majority of the trade are not yet supplied with orders, enough of them are in the market not to arrest the downward course of prices. The heaviest buying is being done by Lachmund & Pincus, of Salem, who are credited with taking on about 2700 bales In the last few days. In addition to the Mc Klsh and Bhlndler lota before reported, this firm secured 375 bales from Sam Burch, of Rlckreal; 254 bales from J. B. Kennedy, of Woodburn. and about 500 bales from Al Jerman. The price paid are reported to be 10c and 10 He. They bought several other lots, the particulars of which could not be learned. Jack Carmlchael. of Salem, has reap-, peaxed in the market as a buyer for export. He Is reported to have purchased something over 200 bales from Massey & Buggies, of Brooks, at about lOo. A. J. Ray. of this city, bought the Dr. J. W. Hill lot Of 150 bales at Tualatin at lOo. Dealers say the farmers are ready sellers at the current prices and as the feeling now exists In the country, almost any quantity of hops could be bought If the orders would come in. Soma of them are apprenenslve, however, that the active buying now going on may cause the growers to tighten their hold and thus prevent any material reduc tion In- the surplus carried in Oregon. The free selling was- brought about by the de cline and it is needless to say that If the course of prices is reversed, many of the crops now offered will be withdrawn from the market. Mall advices received yesterday from the East noted an easier tendency in the New York State markets. The latest Issue of the Watervllle Times said: Hops are getting into so small a com pass that necessarily there is little doing. There are eight or ten growers left in this vicinity who have not sold, and the aggre gate of their holdings is not over 500 bales. They evidently are waiting for better of fers than they have yet had. but Just what price would secure their lots It Is hard to ascertain. The price paid for such stock as is left Is from 18c to 20c. The Government reports the tax paid on beer sold during December, 1806, at 4,138,218 barrels, as against 4.094,001 barrels during December, 1905, an Increase of 43,318 bar rels. The tax paid on beer sales during the year 1906 waa on 57.168,288 barrels as against 62,142,919 barrels during 1905, an In crease of 5.025.369 barrels.

Lord Wolver ton, who has been for many years an enthusiastic member of the Royal Yacht Squadron, and was associated with Lord Dunraven In the ownership of the Valkyrie, which was beaten by the Vigrilant in an attempt to lift the American cup, arrived here yesterday on the liner Carmania. He wishes to discuss the yachting system with mem bers ot the New York Yacht Club. Lord Wolverton Is back of the move ment in England toward having the Royal Yacht Squadron license yacht skippers and assume the right to dis qualify amateur skippers if found guilty of reprehensible practices, to prevent their competing in Great Brit ain or the British possessions. Lord Wolverton may suggest that this move ment be taken up here and he may also broach the subject of an interna tional race in 1908. 7 Cut Off From Escape by Fire. PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 12. A Are m which one man lost his life and sev eral others had narrow escapes from deaths today damaged the five-story building at 10o-107 South Third street, In the heart of the financial district. The building was occupied by the Fnoenlx Pants. Shirt & Overall Com pany and Dumee Sons & Co., cotton brokers. The flames started In the upper por tion of the building, occupied by the Phoenix Company, and cut off escape by means of the stairway of the em ployes working on the top floor, forc- ing them to use the fire escapes, which were covered with ice and snow. With one exception, of the two score of em ployes, among whom were a. dozen girls, all safely reached an adjoining building. The one who failed, was Louis Deskeveskey, aged 26, who Jumped or fell from the escape and was instantly killed. Several of the employee were in jured, but not seriously. The damaged is estimated at $75,030. AMERICAN WIT IN RET0R1 (Continued from First Page.) the colonies during the Revolutionary War?" The reply was: "A damn sight more than ever went back." Lemuel Eli Qulgg and James Hamilton Lewis, twr of the most picturesque men even in Congress, were having a heated debate on the trust question. It was in the days before the Populistic virus had inoculated all the parties, and Mr. Qulgg, who was from New York, was openly de fending the trusts. At the close of one of his fiery periods, J. Ham. interjected with fine Intonation: "For the ox knoweth his owner and the ass his master's crib." John Randolph, of Roanoke, was the most sarcastic man ever heard in the halls of CongTess, unless David A. De- Armond, of Missouri, he an exception. Both Randolph and DeArmond's speeches drip vitriol, but they are not epigram matic and are hard to quote. Randolph, who flourished In the early days of the Republic when things were all unsettled, was furiously attacked by a Republican from Rhode Island, who had been a black smith. Randolph was a descendant of Pocahontas, and of the best blood of aristocratic Virginia. He replied to the presumptuous blacksmith: What credentials does the gentleman bring? From whence does he spring? And why has he left his leather apron' be hind?" The reply hissed back: "I sent it to Pocahontas to make moc casins for her grandchildren." Ingalis Describes Delaware. Senator Ingalis was always quick in re tort, although he was himself a subject of some sharp shafts. Once he was attacked by Senator Eli Saulsbury, of Delaware, he second smallest state in the union. He disposed of the whole matter by say ing: 'I thank the Senator from that great state, which has three counties at low tide and two counties at high tide, for his advice. From the Georgia Legislature of the days before the war comes a story of the effect of parliamentary procedure and its efficiency to change the lie di rect to . the retort courteous. James Hamilton Cooper was speaking, and made a remarkable statement of fact. A modest Legislator exclaimed half un der his breath: 'Whew, what a thundering lie." Coo per suspended his speech, having over heard the remark, and challenged the offender to a duel. A court of honor was arranged, which resulted In Coo per's grivlng permission to the luck less wight to modify his remark. The correction was made In this manner: 'Mr. Speaker, In an inadvertent mo ment I referred to a remark made by the honorable gentleman as 'a thun dering lie." I desire to withdraw that statement, and in lieu thereof will say 'it is a fulminating enlargment of elon gated veracity." " Thus sugar-coated. the speech gave no occasion for a duel, and the Honorable J. Hamilton Cooper's honor remained unsmirched. During the free sliver campaign In 1896 the Republican party employed a number of actors who had been mon ologue artists to go through Kansas entertaining audiences by mixed pro grammes of jokes and speeches on the monetary question. These actors were often put to their wit's end by inter ruptions from the audience. In one little town a monologue man was em phasizlng the fact that in order to be good money any currency must con tain its face value in precious metal, when an aged Populist, with long whiskers, arose in the audience and, holding up a dollar bill in his hand. said: "Do you mean to tell me, sir, that the stamp of the great American Gov ernment on this piece of paper does not make it worth one dollar?" The actor went back at him instantly: "Do you think, my friend, that if you print ed the word "hay' on your whiskers your cows would eat 'em?" The late Thomas B. Reed was a mas ter of all degrees of retort. Once when Jerry Simpson, the sockless Populist from Kansas, made a speech, deciar ing that the House had by some- action violated tile constitution, the Speaker overruled him. and was upheld by the House. Mr. Simpson then arose and solemnly inquired of the chair; "Where am I at? Mr. Reed scathingly retorted: "No mortal man could possibly dl vine the answer to such a baffling question." One of tne best retorts in history occurred when Parson Brownlow was war Governor of Tennessee. On one of his Journeys he attended service at a small Methodist church in the upper part of the state. The parson was a devout Methodist, ana seldom aiiowea his political rancor to Interfere with the' charity of his religious faith. On this occasion, being a visiting clergy man, he was placed n the "amen cor ner," near the pulpit. Tne local min ster was as ardently Democratic ii his views as Governor Brownlow was Republican. In the prayer which fol lowed the lengthy sermon the minister began to call on the Lord for grace for his favorites. "God bless Felix urun dy," he began. Parson Brownlow moved uneasily in his seat, but re- SDonded with a conscientious "Amen. "God bless Robert K- J-e,r' continued the preacher. A fainter "Amen" from Parson Brownlow. "God bless the whole Democratio party," cried the creacher. waxing in fervor as he pro gressed. This was too much for the Governor. With a bound ho was on his feet and shouting: "Ood forbid! It would bankrupt di v!nn grace and exhaust the whole plan of salvation. Tomorrow "St. Valentine's Day in America,' DAILY CITY STATISTICS Marriage Licenses. DALE-CAKt Lee rale.
