THE MORNING OREGONIAN. FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 6, 1907. 17 HOP PRICE GUESSES Market for New Crop Will Open in a Few Days. RANGE FROM 7 TO 10 CENTS London Firm Estimates English Output at 360,000 Cwt Condi tions in Germany Big Trade in Fruits. There is much speculation among Port land hoiimen as to when the market will open and at what price. A numben of or ders are on hand and It is probable that Tvltliin the next day or two some business in the new crop may develop. The general opinion is that the opening transactions will be at 7',i to 8 cents, but some dealers leieve that choice hops may bring 10 cents. Good progress Is being made by the pick ers. Ths latest transactions in 1006 hops are reported from Albany, where Kola Neia bought 47 bales from B. Cady "at 5 cents and a small lot from Moycr & Mllligan, at 4 xfi cents. ' A cable received-yesterday by Isaac Pin cus & tons, of Tacoma. f ram Man are r & Henley, of London, estimated the English crop at 300,000' cwt., and added: "Picking is now general and quality will be good." The snme firm received the following cable from Ueneken &. Co.. of London: "Have now commenced gathering new crop We estimate England at 400.000 cwt. The crop produced will fall short of esti mates on the continent. The plantation reports given in the Kent ish Observer of August 22. differed but little from those of the previous issue. The growth of the crop was slow, owing to the uncertain weather and all spoke of the need of higher temperature. Fuggles were about ready to pick, but the later sorts were backward. The London Brewers' Journal of August 15 said: There Tias not. for many years, been a Sfanon when It has been so difficult as at present to form anything like a definite idea as to what the eventual outcome will he. Men who have been engaged In hop Krontng for the last 2. years and more hes itate to express an opinion as to how many hundred welsh ts per acre are likely to be grown, because. as they argue, the existing condlt ions arc of a nature that may mean anything"; there are vermin, and there is mould, and the weather Is of an unsettled type, which is not a favorable omen. It Is generally admitted that since the beginning of August the bine has made very marked progress and that prospects on the whole have been greatly Improved. But the fact that vermin remain in an active state and are busy among the burr and young hops la a matter of serious Import, while the prevalence of mould also causett anxiety. Adolf Heller, of Prague, writes under date of Auguft lit: Apprehensions were entertained that the Intense heat might produce far-spread fire Mast In the hop plantations, and. In fact. In some planes with sandy noil growers were compel tvd to com mence picking to save their hops. But this concerns a small area only, not exceeding t per cent and the re mainder of the yards in the Saas as well as the other Bohemian districts are quite nealthy. Now. having had the lant few da.va heavy rains, followed by genial tem perature, the hops are doing well and grow ing out, and it Is hoped that the fireblast has been fuhdued altogether. No final esti mate can he given yet, but the yield will be a very good one and. so far as can be Judged now, the quality- and color of the Sana and other Bohemian sorts will be first rate. Picking will be general by the end of this week. In some places In South German hop districts fireblast has also appeared and fears were entertained that It might do great havoc, but now it is hoped that the danger has passed away and the reports are again cheerful, but it Is doubted whether everywhere the hops will get the proper f ize. The crop prospects In France are not un favorable, but a yield like 1906 is not to be expected. In Belgium the hopyards nave greatly suffered by vermin and the prospects are no better than last year, when a short crop was gathered. C ARS SCARCE FOR WHEAT HAKTIJN Buyers Only Taking Grain as Offered to Them. In spite of the weakness In the East, the wheat market ruled firm yesterday. Buyers are taking what is effered, but this is the extent of the activity, owing to the rather unsatisfactory car 'situation.

GETS HOOP RIVER CROP Reported to Have Paid $3.54) for Spltrrn berg Apples. The Hood River Apple-Growers Union has sold its 1907 apple pack to the David son Fruit Company, of that place. Bidders were on hand from Portland, San Fran cisco, Chicago and New York, but a Hood River company captured the prize, much to tho disappointment of the other apple buy ers. The prices paid were not announced, but it is known they were much higher than those realized on last year's crop. Why the Union should object to the prices being made public Is a mystery to the trade, as it has always been customary in -Hood River to advertise to the world all high-priced talcs. Men who are In close touch with the frnit trade say the Spitzenbergs brought S3. 50 and the Newtowns $2.85. The prices on the other varieties arc said to be as follows; Ben Davis, $.A0; Jonathans, $2.25; Winesaps. $2, and Baldwins, $2. A dispatch from Hood River says it ' Is esti mated tho Davidson Fruit Company will have the shipping of from 125 to 150 cars of apples this year and that Its purchase Involves an outlay in the neighborhood of $150,000. Better Tone tn Poultry Market. A slightly better tone was noted in the poultry market yesterday, but the demand was still principally for hens. Eggs continued very firm with country re ceipts moderate and the demand good. It is advisable for shippers to get their sup plies tn as promptly as possible these days, and not hold the eggs back.- The to? quo tations are only paid on strictly fresh stock. There were no new developments in the butter market. - Supply of Fruit Is Large. The fruit market was heavily supplied with peaches, apples, grapes and pears yes terday. While the demand was good, it was not quite equal to the supply, yet on me nest onerings former prices were main talned. exceot for neaches. The potato market continues easy, owing 10 me auunuant supply onerea ror s&ie nere and the depressed condition of the Cali fornia trade. TORTLAND QUOTATIONS. Grain, Flour, Feed, Etc.

MARKET 5 BUOYANT Stock Prices Take an Upward Turn. IN SPITE OF A FAILURE Extra Dividend Declaration by the Burlington Aids in the Bettter Feeling Large Require ments Yet to Be Met. NEV YORK. Sept. S. The bad news which has been supposed to be hanging over the stock market eventuated today in the an nouncement of a failure of a Stock Exchange house, after which and the Burlington extra dividend, declaration there was a buoyant recovery from the weaknes which had been In evidence yesterday and early today. This is the first failure of a Stock Exchange Arm which has occurred through all the drastic contraction of values of securities of the Spring and Summer, a record which has been a subject of surprise. The trouble which pulled the firm down was not of the Imme diate past, surmise pointing to the shrinkage to some of the Northwestern railroad group, among the earliest In the severe decline, as the origin of the embarrassment. The Inci dent called attention to the fact that an In stallment of $3,000,000 of Great Northern sub scriptions is payable tomorrow, and revived consideration of those recurrent requirements for capital already subscribed but not paid. On September 20 there Is payable the final installment on the Union Pacific convertible bonds, which will call for 37,BO0,O0O. It waa Intimated today that there would be no extension of the syndicates which underwrote these bonds, and also only a small portion of the syndicate's holdings has been mar keted. On October 1 again, there will be due $11,400,000 for subscriptions to Northern Pacific stock. No small part of the uneasi ness prevalent In the atock market has been due to the knowledge of the difficulties In volved In finding resources for meeting accru ing calls of this kind by reason of the tight money market. . The fact of the failure as an after-effect of events so far In the past left an unpleas ant Impression on sentiment. The feeling of relief over having the matter out of the way overbore other considerations and also left a short Interest uncovered that had sold stocks on early information of the trouble. The spe cial weakness of the Hill stocks In the early dealings, on account of the failure, was sup plemented by depression In the copper stocks. There was another break in the price of cop per In London and feeling was not settled as to the stability of the price of, copper here. On the other hand, advices from the iron trade were encouraging. The easier tone of time money was still evident, but rates for call loans were sllghtry stlffer. The extra dividend on Burlington stock con Armed rumors many times renewed In the past of an intended melon-cutting for the Hill stockholders, but the increase in the regular dividend rate was a surprise. The announcement coming in the midst of the unfavorable Influences of the Stock Exchange Arm's failure on these stocks caused a vio lent upward reaction, and turned the whole market buoyant. In which state It remained until the close. Honds were Arm. Total sales, par value, $072,000. United States 4s declined V. on call.

CARRIES PRICES DOWN Weakness Due to Reported Slump - at Berlin In Rally. Near the Close, Most of the Karly Jjoss Is Regained. ' CHICAGO. Sept. 0. The wheat market broke wildly at the opening today, the In itial quotations being all the way from lc to 1- below the close of yesterday. .Liver pool cables were lower, and it was reported that a heavy slump had taken place in the Berlin market. The result was that nearly everybody on the exchange was anxious to sell. Commission houses threw large quantities of wheat on the market, and the small hold ers were frantic In their efforts to dispose of their lines. Shorts covered so thoroughly yesterday that the market In the early stages had little support. Prices, however, rallied somewhat at ths end of the first half hour. December wheat opened I4ilc lower, at 99c. and sold up to $1.00. Local receipts were 206 cars. The corn market was much steadier than wheat because of a big demand for cash grain and buying by pit traders. December corn opened unchanged to c lower, at 61lc, and sold off to 61 c. Trade In oats was light, but prices were Arm because of light offerings. December oats opened c lower to c higher,, at 53 54c, and held around the latter figure. The orovlslon market was firm on large shipments and good buying of January lard. October pork opened 10c higher at $15.8": lard was up 5c at $9.20; October riba opened unchanged at $8.70. Cash grain prices were as follows: Wheat, No. 2 red. 9.1c: No. 3. 90fn2c: No- - hnrd 94 c: No. 4 hard, 92 94c: No. 3 Spring. 97c$1.03. Corn, No. 2. 62ffl62c; No. 3, 6162C.

PRICES ARE TOO IiOWKU COMMODITY - VALUES WOULD BKIXG RELIEF. Present Scarcity of Money Is Due Largely to Increased Cost of Production. Henry Clews writes of financial conditions In New York as follows: The chief danger In the future Is a crisis In the money market. It Is to be hoped that this will be averted as the result of past liquidation and through prudent action by the banks. The latter should continue to lend freely to all sound, going; concerns. since an undue curtailment of credit at this time might easily precipitate disaster. Of course tha blow In Wall street will be felt Indirectly in Industrial and commercial circles; particularly in respect to new en terprises, or the enlargement of old ones. "Wall street has unquestionably pretty well discounted all unfavorable conditions and further reactions In securities ought to bring prompt rallies. The commodity markets, however, have not yet shown any general tendency to recede from the present ab normally high level. Costs of production have ben greatly enhanced by the rise In labor and commodities. This fact has more to do with the present stringency In money than Is generally supposed. While our supplies of capital have been exhausted by reaent demands, it Is also true that the supply of money has been rendered Inadequate to a large extent by high prices In all commodities. If we are to return to more normal conditions It seems Inevitable that some reaction must follow here; not to the extent which ' has been experienced In Wall street, but still to a substantially lower level than now exists. Such a decline. If well distributed and brought about grad ually, would place our industries upon a more Substantial footing. Enterprise is un questionably checked by high costs of pro duction quite as much as by monetary re straints, and a moderate recession of such values would afford substantial relief in all quarters.
