TI" MORNING OREGONIAX, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 4, 1908. 15 (S, CULL IT OFF Paul Horst Believes Union Talk Hurts Hop Industry. QUESTION OF PRODUCTION Kise in Market Would Help Him Most, but Present Agitation Will Only Make Things Worse for the Grower. Paul R. G. Horst. the New Tork Tiop dealer and speculator, who would probably profit more than anyone else in the United States by a rise In the hop market, as he is carrvInR 30,000 bales, believes that the market can only be adverse!- affected by the Hnpgrowers' Union talk. . He says that the nrnuress of organization to date has shown the movement to be a failure, and. therefore, the promoters should call It oft at on-ce. Mr. Horst says that as the depression in the hop market Is due to overproduction, the encouragement that has lately been growers will cause them to increase their output further this Fall, and next season's market will be even worse than this one. "With the stocks now- carried by brewers and -the carryover supply in the X.'nlted Slates." said Mr. Horst yesterday, "there .vlll be enouph for consumptive require ments without a pound of hops beins raised this year, in addftton to the blow the pro hibition sentiment has iriven the bop in dustry, not only In this country but In England as well, the brewers have found a way. hy means of Improved machinery, to Bet along with less hops to the barrel, some of them using- one-half pound to the barrel niW4 This economy is in line with the chanpe taking place in the character of the American beers, and. of course, it directly affects the position of the producer. "It is rtie small (rrower. Iiowever. who Is suffering; most and he will find it necessary to turn his attention to other agricultural pursuits. Tho lame growers, especially the rrower dealers, will be able not only to keep coins but to increase their output as well. This is shown by the fact that Clemens Worst, who now raises 30,000 bales, is planting KOO acres more to hops in Cali fornia, while J,ilienthal is putting out 7S0 acres and Touis Horst is Increasing "his yards by 500 acres. .Clemens Horst's new hop-picking machine, which was used suc cessfully last season, U being perfected and it will enable hlin to put hops in the hale at a total cost of 3 or 4 cents a pound. With all these things rtarlng them in the face, the outlook is certainly gloomy for the small growers, and I don't think they, should be deluded any longer with fake promises." FltriT AND VEGETABLE TRADE SLOW Condition of the San Francisco Potato and Onion Markets. Dullness still prevails In the fresh produce line and a return to the usual Winter weather will be necessary before the de- nand is stimulated. Receipts were light yesterday,, consisting only of one car of Oranges and a miscellaneous lot of vege tables received by steamer. Shippers who have onions in transit South are uneasy over their condition, as the shipments were made In box cars, because .if the lack of refrigerator cars. Borne new business Is reported on the basis of last week's prices. The-potato market is slow and unchanged The latest rhftll ' advices from San Francisco say of the potato and onion markets: With retailers and jobbers liberally sup plied and confining their operations to the narrowest possible limits, the market for table potatoes remains in poor shape for the selling Interests and there Is a heavy ac cumulation on hand, which Is being added to dally. Salinas and Lompoc Burbanks are nuoted lower at 8."ctf??l-35 and the quota tions for these and other descriptions are being shaded by sellers in their efforts to reduce stocks. Early rose and garnet chiles are in request for seed purposes, and with ' the supply limited, prices for them are easily maintained at icf f 1.23. The onion market remains strong at $2.7503 on continued light arrivals. EGG MARKET BECOMES UNSETTLED Rising Temperature Takee Stiffness Out of Local Prices. The egg market was quoted firm yester day morning at 2627 cents, but with the rising temperature later in the day, condi tions became unsettled and dealers were more anxious to make sales. Receipts were lighter, but the slowing down is only tem porary and warm rainy weather will soon bring the market back to 25 cents because of freer receipts. Poultry arrivals -were small and prices were more or less nominal. i acre iieru iiu new u- eiupiuenio in me butter market. The demand was of fair proportions and prices were quoted firm by the city creameries and steady on Front street. Weekly Grain Statistics.

ONLY A SHORT DEMAND llock Island Affected by Damaging Rumors- Concerning Its Fl-nances-r-I;ess Probability of Gold Exports. NEW YORK. Feb. 3. The ull and fceavy tone of the Block market today m du largely to suspended interest on the part of apeculator, and Investors alike. Tho -weakness of the early part of the session was clearly due to activity on the part of a pro fessional element on the short side of the market; and this selling was partly covered hy re-purchases before the end of the ses sion. Beyond this demand from the un covered short Interest, there was little sign of any absorptive power. Very bold and damaging; assertions were circulated today concerning: the finances of the Rock Island, affectlns many of the se curities of the company, including- the etocks both of the parent and the subsidiary com panies and the collateral bonds secured by old Rock Island stock and those secured by St. Louis & San Francisco stock. The mortgage bonds of the companies In the sys tem were but slightly affected. Officials of the company and banker associated In its financial operations denied that there was any ground for the rumors of embarrassment. The unsupported condition of the securities, however, had a depressing- effect on the whole Met, A sharp reaction in the foreign exchange market quieted the discussion of a possible early outward movement of gold. A ship ment of 5O0.CO0 in gold to Argentina, re ported lats on' Saturday, -was explained as a special transaction. The losa by the banks on Saturday of J2.109.000 on Bub-Treasury operations was caused by a payment to the Government of a maturing note of the Cen tral Pacific in the periodical settlement of the old Pacific Railroad debt. Payment of subscriptions on St. Paul 'new stock called for $10,000,000. The money market was not perceptibly affected by these development. Railroad traffic officials had no Increase in business to report. ' A decline in- the price of copper at the New York Metal Exchange and also In the price of London copper war rants was .but lightly reflected In the prices of copper, Industrial and mining etocks. The United States Steel stockB also were rela tively little affected by the general heavy tone. The bond market was weak,' the Rock Upland collateral bonds . forming the con spicuous instance. Total sales, par value, $2,705,000. United States bonds were un changed on call. CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS. t Closing KSales. High. Low. Bid.

HEAD PIERCED; WILL LIVE Breeoh-BIock of Gun Enters Eye Cavity Sight May Be Saved. ST. HELENS, Or., Feb, 3. (Special.) Dr. Harry R. Cliff reports a most re markable accident from the Deer Island neighborhood. C. Robron was out hunt ing last Saturday, and was using; smoke less powder in a black powder gun. when the breech 'block blew back, penetrating trie head, through the cavity of the eye, a distance of two and a quarter Inches. Friends tried to extricate the piece of metal, but fortunately for Mr. Rebron, they were unsuccessful. When the doc tor arrived, he procured a similar breech black, and by Its shape saw that it could not have been drawn straight out with out breaking the bone, but after consid erable manipulation, he succeeded in withdrawing it. Rebron was taken to the hospital In Portland Sunday night, and to the doctor's astonishment, an ex amination of the eye showed that the sight had not been destroyed, and it Is hoped that It may be entirely restored, though the caso has not sufficiently pro gressed for that to be assured.
