THE MORNING OREGONIAN, TUESDAY, AUGUST 13, 1907. 13 LOW.PRICE OFFERED Oregon Canners Only Pay $20 to $2fc for Bartletts. GROWERS ARE INDIGNANT In California tlie Price for Canning Pears Runs From $35 to $85 Per Ton Quality Here Is Better. Growers of Bartlett pears in Oregon are up in arm against the. canneries of this state, because of the low prices they are offering for the fruit in comparison with what the orchardlsts of California re ceive. . DiBtriot. Fruit. Inspector James H. Reld voices the complaints of the growers as follows: , "The canneries in Portland and other parts of the state have made the price for Bartletts of the 2 caliper size, which Is the largest grown here, $25 per ton. For the 2'4 caliper size they pay 120 per ton In California, the largest Bartletts only gauge 2y. caliper, but the Tanne of prices paid by the canneries of that state Is from $35 to $75 per ton and it Is re ported 'that a few contracts have been made there at JS5 per ton. The bulk of the contracts for No. 1 California Bart letts run from $50 to $85 per ton. "Like the cherry crop, the Oregon pear crop this year will be of unusually fine quality. Although the yield will be lisht around Eugene, and south of that point, in the remainder of the Willamette Valley there will be a very ' fair crop. The farmers should have what they are en titled to. If the conditions in the can ned goods trade Justify the California canneries In paying an average of $50 to Iti5 a ton for pears, the canners of Ore gon should do likewise. . "I understand that the 'tt'eber-Bussell company of Seattle made a few contracts for Bartletts In the Valley at good prices, but that the Oregon canneries induced them to quit, by offering them all the pears they wanted at the low prices that have been fixed." SO MOVEMENT IN HOP MARKET Latest Reports of Crop Conditions In New York State. New York State. The Oregon hop market is in a most inactive condition. There Is some little inquiry for spot goods at the low prices lately paid but growers are not disposed to sell. No demand for contracts is re ported. . The Jefferson Review finds the 1907 hop The' paper says: It is freely predlcate'd that 8 .cents will be the top figures, unless the European crop should prove much shorter than at present seems possible. Prime 1906 hops are selling at 4 to 6 cents. Buyers claim to have enough 1907 hops contracted to fill all foreign orders,.- and are not making any attempt to contract more. If this condition continues there will be practically no market at picking time and hops in many yards will be left on the vines. New York hop crop conditions are thus reported by papers of that state: The frequent rains- the past weeks have in creased the growth of the vine materially, especially In the early varieties so that they present a very luxuriant appearance. We have had a good deal of wind lately and some yards show the effect of the whipping which the vines received. It Is thought that the picking season will be fully two weeks later than last year, but to all appearances the crop will be 3f excellent quality, although light In quantity. Waterville Time. The growing crop has been damaged io a considerable extent by the high winds- prevailing since Thursday last. It has been reported that the vines are Infested with lice, but we are Informed that the report is false. Cooperstown Farmer. Hops are coming into view in the early yards and will soon appear in the late ones. The cool nights which have been in evidence lately do not favor their rapid growth. Growers are cultivating their yards with care in the belief that the price will yield a fair return this year. Schoharie Republican. The growing crop has improved with the fine weather we have been having. The wind storm last week did considerable damage. A careful estimate places the crop fully one third short of last year. The yield promises to be of good quality, tnd if present indications and reports of the crop continue, the price will prob ably start for new hops around 20 cents. Cobleskill Times. TEA MARKET IS CLIMBING VP Prices In Japan and China Advanc ing Steadily. Cables just received from Japan re port that all the lower grades of tea are very strong with prices advanced from 2 to 3 cents per pound. The higher and medium grades are firm, but do not show the strength of the lower grades. The cause of the flurry is the lighter pro duction of the lower grade of teas. Grow ers are turning their lands to other pur poses which they find more profitable, and this, with the strong demand, has had the effect of lifting prices. Compe tent authorities declare that it will not be many years before Japan goes out of the tea-raising business. Labor has become expensive there, as in Western countries, and it is being found that the land will produce other crops in which there is more money. Not only are Japanese teas advancing in price, but Chinese teas are likewise higher. Foo Chow Standard English breakfast, which could be purchased last year at 9 cents, now costs 2 cents and the tendency is toward a still higher value. Low grades in English breakfast teas, both NortH and South China, are very high. The Russians have been heavy purchasers, having bought this year 300, 000 chests, against purchases of 100.000 chests last year, which leaves but tOO.OOO chests for English and American re quirements. Importers 111 have -j draw on the second crop for supplies, but they do not know yet how it w ... turn out. Ping Sueys from Shanghai also hold firm and Ceylon teas, though they are of less importance in this section, are in a strong position. Taken altogether, it may safely be said that tea prices are as low now as they will be any time this season, and it would not surprise the trade if prices reached a higher figure in the near fu ture. THE EGG MARKET IS FIRMER Stocks Are Being Reduced and an Advance May Occur Soon. A steady Improvement is noted in the tone of the egg market; but prices have not yet been advanced. The ac cumulation is being steadily reduced, and as receipts are becoming very light. It Is evident that higher prices roust soon be quoted. The poultry market is also firmer. with arrivals decreasing and the de mand active. Two of the city creameries have ad vanced to 35 cents. The market for butter is firm, and the new price will probably be general in a few days. DRY ROT AFFECTS PEACHES Much of the Fruit From the Rose burg Section Is Bad. The local fruit market is being swamped with poor peaches from the Roseburg section. Nearly a carload of them came In by express yesterday and only added to the accumulation carried "over from Saturday. Most of these peaches are affected with dry rot which makes them practically unsaleable. The Roseburg growers have had this trouble for several years, though It was not very serious last Summer. This year, however, the blight Is" worse than ever before, judging from the fruit now reaching this market. There is a strong demand for good peaches and jobbers find it a problem how to get hold of any. Fist-class stock will sell as high as $1.25 per box. but the poor offerings go around 70 and 75 cents. A car of Merlin peaches passed through Portland yesterday enroute to the Sound markets. Five cars of bananas arrived, about one third ripe. A car of sweet potatoes also came in. Grain Markets Are Unchanged. The cereal markets presented no change yesterday. Wheat was rather quiet and quoted steady. Oats were dull and still easy, with but little In quiry for new crop, though It is said that the surplus of old crop oats has been considerably reduced. Continued activity is reported in barley, which is always the earliest of the grain mar kets. , Bank Clearing.

While salmon is scarce and the pack is light on Puget Sound there seems to be no lack of fish in Alibkan waters according to advices brought down by the steamship Cottage City which an Ived here Saturday. The Cottage City brought down 8000 cases of salmon from Funter Bay and of ficers of the vessel say the pack there will run as high as 100.000 cases for the season. The cannery is closed now and refusing fish awaiting the ru nof sockeyes to com plete its pack. The George F.. Myers Com pany at Sitka Bay will complete Its pack in about tnree weeks. The run of salmon in northern waters is large and fully as early as last year. According to travelers from the north who are in touch with con ditions the run In southern waters will be good. Notwithstanding the encouraging reports from the north the cannerymen on the Sound are discouraged. It Is reported from Bellingham that keen competition among the salmon buyers on the Sound has re sulted in raising the price of sockeyes to 50 cents each and the indications are that choice red fish will cost the packers still more before the season is over. The boats coming from the traps and the seiners' fields are bringing fewer and fewer fish as the season wanes and the end of the sock eye run is in sight - according to the prophecy of the fishermen. Lane County Growers Discouraged. EUGENE, Or., Aug. 12. The condition of hops in this county Is rather unfavorable. During the recent cloudy and rainy weather the lice spread all over the vines so thickly that most of the growers are badly dis couarged. John Mlddleton, of Harrlsburg. recently sold a car of last year's crop at 5 cents. Another grower In the same vicin ity has held his hops ever since the high prices of a year ago. At that time he was offered 31 cents but asked 32. The price went down, and since then he has stored bis crop. He is wealthy and his friends are wondering how long he can wait for prices to rise to 32 cents. Money, Exchange, Etc. NEW YORK. Aug. 12.

The American bark Hecla, Captain Henry Nelson, reached port yesterday morninfr, leaking and with her hull damaged through a collision with the Duncan Rock, near Cape Flattery. The grounding occurred while the bark was in tow of the tug Richard Holyoke, bound for this port. The strong tide is credited with being the cause of the trouble. In passing the obstruction the tug escaped Injury and brought her tow here. The damage to the Hecla is not regarded as serious, but she will probably require drydocking before being permitted to proceed to Hadlock to load lumber for Sydney. The Hes la's pumps have been kept constantly going. If Babr I Cutting- Teeth Be sure and use that old well-tned remedy. Mrs. Wlnslow's Soothing 6yrup, for children teething.

SLUMP BECOMES GENERAL Three Times Prices Are Forced Down to Record Low Levels, but Each Time the Mar ket Recovers. NEW YORK. Aug. 12. Liquidation was on a large scale In the opening dealings of the stock market today and prices crum bled away. Sensational losses were regis tered In all of the Important stocks during the first 10 minutes of business. There was a break of 5 points in North ern Pacific, 3 In Canadian Pacific, 3) in Union Pacific, 314 In Baltimore and 3 In Missouri Pactlc, Louisville & Nashville. Amalgamated Copper and Colorado Fuel; 24 In Reading and Atchison, 2 in Southern Pacific and Smelting, and considerably over a point for all other stocks. The market became feverish and unsettled, some stocks rallying strongly on supporting orders and others declining still further. Effective measures to check the precipi tate fall In prices were put into force after the first 15 minutes of business, and al though there were Isolated cases of further severe losses, the general market was un der control and rising briskly, j Room shorts bought heavily when the current turned, and there was a large ab sorption for the long account. Rallies from' the low point extended to 3 14 In Northern Pacific. 2V In Canadian Pacific, Atchison. Great Northern preferred. Amalgamated Copper and Anaconda. Coth St. Paul and Great Northern preferred sold a fraction above Saturday's closing. During the slump many of the leading stocks sold at their lowest price of the year. Business slowed down considerably when the rally was In force, but there was at all times a decided undercurrent of nerv ousness. Reading and Smelting were being 6old heavily and were quoted at the lowest. The market had to contend with realizing sales of buyers who bought on the break.. At noon the market was ruling close to the highest of the morning. - Business was much reduced between 13 and l o'clock and the market gave evi dence of having settled to normal condi tions. Fluctuations were comparatively trivial until 1 o'clock, when a decline In Union Pacific to below 125 had some sen timental effect on the remainder of the list. In the middle of the afternoon, when most of the day's losses had been restored and speculation was lethargic, the bears made a successful drive against Reading and Smelting, and soon bad prices tumbling In all directions. The raid brought the list virtually back to the low figures at the outset. Smelting slumped 5 points; Ameri can Express, 10; Consolidated Gas.

The closing was active and feverish, with the rally well sustained. Another violent decline occurred in the final hour, which drove prices considerably lower than pre viously. The bulk of the selling was In Union Pacific, Reading, Smelting and Amal gamated Copper. The chief declines were: North American, 8; Illinois Central and Consolidated Gas. 76: Delaware A Hudson, Lead and Interborough Metropollltan, 6; American Smelting. .1 H ; Union Pacific. 54: Lackawanna, 5; Reading.

KAN'S PLEA ALL IN VAIN Oriental Auctioneer Must Pay $20 a Day or Quit Business. Andrew Kan appealed yesterday to the license committee of the Council for per mission to reopen his auction house, which was closed recently because of failure to comply with the provisions of the license ordinances. Through his at torney. C. E. S. Wood. Kan represented that he was (conducting- a legitimate business and that the canceling of his license was an Injustice. After consid ering the matter at length, the commit tee decided that the auction house could not be allowed to operate unless Mr. Kan would pay a license of $20 a day, which he said he could not do. Two classes of auction houses are rec ognized under, the ordinances, the first paying an annual license of 160, and the second S20 a day. The auction houses named as second class are chiefly those selling Jewelry, Oriental goods and bank rupt stocks. Kan has been dealing In Japanese wares although for some time he paid but ttO a quarter. Mr. Wood declared that the ordinance was unjustjy discriminating and that he believed lt would be held unconstitutional If tested in the courts. Kan, he said, had been doing business for more than 20 years in Portland and desired to con duct a legitimate auction house. Members of the committee were unable to grant Kan relief under the ordinance and did not feel inclined to amend the measure. They said that prior to its passage the public had been swindled right and left by auctioneers dealing in Jewelry and Oriental goods. These latter wares had not originally been placed In the second class, but the measure was amended to include them after the Expo sition, when many dishonest auctioneers began disposing of Japanese goods that had been brought into Vhe city during the Fair. Four cripples petitioned the committee for free permits to peddle shoestrings and similar articles on the streets. Only one of the applicants was present and he was granted a 30-day permit and the others were instructed to appear at the next meeting of the committee. These permits were regarded by the committee as infair competition with legitimate merchants and as a considerable number has been issued the committee threatens to grant no more. TRAVELERS' GUIDE.
