THE MORNING OREGOMAX, SATURDAY. JUNE 20, 1008. 17 HOPS ARE FIRMER Healthier Tone in American and European Markets. DEMAND FOR CONTRACTS Salem Firm Lifts 1908s to Nine Cents Slow Movement 'in Last Year's Hops Local Fruit Trade Shows Less Activity. A distinctly firmer tone is apparent in the hop market on the Coast, In the East and In Europe. The demand for apot hops In the Went la still mlnw, and will proba bly continue so throughout the remainder of the season, though rather more inquiry Is reported in New York. The healthier undertone in the; market is attributed to the clearer view that can be taken of the coming crop situation. That the 1008 world crop will be considerably under that of last year Is now plain. Interest in the Oregon market centers in the contract trade. The price of lOSs has advanced from 8 cents, which was paid last month, to 9 cents, which lias been paid In the last few days. This figure has been freely offered by Lachmund & Pincus, and it Is reported they have writ tea several contracts in different sections. One of these deals was with Miley, of Aurora, for 10,000 pounds, and another. was , with a Champoeg grower. H. 1. Hart this ' week closed a contract at 8 cents. There is a difference of opinion as to the quan- 1 tity of new hops contracted for. Very few have been recorded yet. but It is said that fully 25,000 bales have already been bought in advance in Oregon, and some authori ties estimate the amount at 35,000 bales. There is much speculation as to the part being taken in the movement by Lachmund & Pincus. Their connection with Paul R. G. Horst naturally leads to the surmise that Korst has found means to launch another bull campaign for' the benefit it would have on his enormous holdings of old hops. Whatever is the object, any thing that will have the effect of lining prices will be 'cordially welcomed by the growers. Trading in 1007 hops has been on a small scale in the past wek. The demand is slow, but at the same time growers are holding decidedly firm. One of the most recent transactions was the purchase by E. C. Hirren, of the Killenberger & Mayer . lot, of OS bales at Lebanon at f cents. H. L. Hart secured several small lots ag gregating 70 bales at prices ranging from 4 to 4 cents. The Seavey Hop Company bought ISO bales at 6 cents, and Henry L. Brents bought 71 bales at 4Vi cents from J. P. and A. Fuller, of Aurora. LIGHTER DEMAND FOR FRESH FRUITS Cantaloupes Are Quoted Lower Strawber ry Market Wnk. The fruit mHrket was not as active yes terday as it - was on the preceding day. Retailers evidently bought too heavily earlier in the week and the cool weather also had the effect of putting a damper on the demand. Receipts were not large, but a good assortment was carried over and prices generally were maintained, ex cept on cantaloupes,' which declined to $2.75 3 per crate. The supply of this fruit was increased by the arrival of an other car from California. This strawberry market was weak and the street .had a considerable supply of stock on hand at th& close of the day. Cherry receipts were lighter than . usual, and this gave the market a .chance to clean, up. - TERRITORY WOOLS IN THE EAST. Better Movement Is Reported in Western Clips. Mall advices from Boston report a bet ter business passing In territory wools, in the past week about 1,250.000 pounds in all is estimated to have changed hands. Including considerable sold by one firm. Most transactions, however, are in lots of 25.000 pounds to u 0,060 pounds each. A good portion, of the transfera of clothing wools was at prices ranging from 13j to 3 4 He, the scoured cost -being around 45c. A fair amount of medium sold at lti to 10c, including a small lot of 12,000 pounds Soda Springs quarter blood at 10c, about 175,000 pounds, part half blood and fine medium, at 10 to IS Vic, and fair-sized quantities of New Utah and Wyoming" at 19c, to cost 47 to 48c, clean. Other transactions include 150.000 pounds fine clothing at 16c. cost ing 50c scoured; 100.000 pounds line and fine medium at 14 He; 100,000 pounds fine and fine medium Idaho at 15c, and "5.000 pounds fine at 13 to J.5c. Of new Arizona clothing wool 50,000 pounds changed hands at 15Hc, to cost 44 to 45c, clean. Trans fers of 125,000 pounds fine clothing are re ported on the scoured basis of 50c. BUTTER MARKET IX HEALTHY TRIM No Prospect of a Change Jn Prices In the Immediate Future. The butter market continues firm here, as it is in all parts of the United States, and there is no Immediate prospect of a change in conditions. The city creameries have little surplus over their local and shipping orders and what is left Is put into storage. There was a fair demand for pqultry yesterday, but it was not sufficient to cause any material advance in prices. The feeing in the egg market is stead ier. Buying has not expanded, but receipts have fallen off considerably In the last few days. Hop Crop Con clit ions In w York. The latest issue of the Waterville Times says of the hop crop in that section of New York State: With perfect weather the vine is put ting forth its best efforts, is free from vermin of all kinds and presents a most grutlfying appearance. If the growers will live up to t heir best interests and pick only clean, bright hops it would seem that after the miserable stuff offered last year a sample of this kind ought to bring a fair price. Grain Trade Is Dull. All the grain markets are slow at the present time. There is little demand from any quarter. Several of the grain mer chants are in the act "of moving their offices and are paying but little attention to the grain business, prices are unchanged, except on wheat, which Is quoted lower.

PORTLAND LIVESTOCK MARKET. Prices Quoted Locally on Cattle, Sheen and Hogs. 9 -The livestock market continues slow with no important changes in prices. The de mand for cattle is reported light, and the presence of much grass-fed stock adds to the weakness, but in th-a trade it is thought no further decline will be necessary. Al though receipts yesterday were light, the largo number of sfieep. hogs and lambs lately received have put these lines, also, on an easy basis. Yesterday's arrivals were 90 hogs, GO cattle and 40 calves. The following prices wore current on live stock In the local market yesterday: Hogs Best, $0 0.25; medium, $5.756; feeders, no demand. Cattle Best steers. $4.50; medium, $3.75 fi'4.25; common, $3.25 'ni3.n0; cows, best, $3.50; common, $2.75 It1 3.25 ; calves, $4.50 5.

LUST PRICES LOWER Stock Market Shows a Sag ging Tendency. BOND x DEMAND CEASES Professional Selling Ascribed to Politioa4 Slot i ves Further Gold Exports Are Ixoked for e.t Week. NEW' TORK. June 19. Operation in "tock? remained largely In professional hands today, although the movement of prices wu iomewhat freer than on earlier days of the week and a: the expense of value,. Pro fessional traders professed political motives for the selling of stocks, pointing to the antt lnjunctlon plank of the Republican platform aa a matter for disquietude to holders of securities and the likelihood of the campaign dlscuFsslon taking a tone of aggression on corporations was also dwelt upon. Th motive of the buying yesterday was an assumption that with the Republican nominations out of the way. some general demand for stocks will soon ensue. London adopted this supposition and started prices of American securities higher today. The expected demand did not develop and dis appointed professionals who bought yesterday were sellers In conxequence. News of the closing of a Philadelphia trust company was accorded a significance which the dimensions or the failure seemed not to warrant. With the news of the arrival In this coun try of the head of the banking firm which is purchasing maturing coupons on Erie Rail road bonds, the troubled affairs of that prop erty were brought Into notice again and ru mors circulated that a thorough reorganiza tion of the finances was In contemplation. A bad sentimental effect was produced by another sag in the price of Union Pacific re funding bonds "when Issued." The resistance of the bonds at below the subscription price had given the impression that they were pegged at that price, which is 9S. To day they sold at In connection with reports from bond dealers that the Invest ment demand generally for bonds had died out. this Incident was of influence. Further disagreement in the iron trade over prices of bar iron and a probable open market for that product was reported. No more gold was engaged for export.1 hut the exchange market was said to be affected by remittances from abroad for subscriptions to the TTnlon Pacific bonds and further ex ports are looked for next week. Discount? rates were higher in Paris and lower In Ber lin. Money rates here showed undiminished ease. The banks have made another heavy gain In caeh this week. Confidence In the continued ease of the money market is not at all impaired Last prices of stocks were not far from the lowest of the day. Bonds were irregular. Total sales, par value. J2.S82.000.

R. G. Dun A Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade tomorrow will aay : Preparations for Fall trade are on a fairly liberal scale, testifying confidence in the future. Jobbers are receiving moderate supplementary orders for prompt shipment, while retail sales expand In response to seasonable weather. Building operations Increase at many points, creating a better demand for lum ber and other materials, but there Is still a decrease in most comparisons with last year's volume. Mercantile collections are more prompt and money is abundant, de spite continued exports of gold. RETAILERS' STOCKS ARE NOT LARGE Filllng-ln Orders Are Very Frequent. But Not Heavy. NEW YORK. June 19. Bradstreets to morrow will say: Aside from the continuance of a better tone as regards the future and some further enlargement of Industrial operations, not ably in textile lines, there is little news to report as to trade. Business as a whole has been quiet. There Is general agree ment that retailers' stocks are not large, but filllng-in orders continue to be frequent rather than heavy. Fall bu5-ing has been a trilie larger at Eastern and Central West ern centers, but conservatism and a dispo sition to await crop and political develop ments operate against anything like free buying. Collections are backward as a whole. Building Is less active than a year ago, and the unemployed in this line are very numerous. Business failures in the United States for the week ending June 18 number 254, which compares with 253 last week.

High water In the Columbia has done great damage to the ranchers and dairy people living In the bottoms west and south of Woodland. Many farmers have been compelled to move with all their possessions and stock. The hay crop will be almost a total failure, as but little had been cut before the high water came, the season having been very backward on account of cold weather. The stage of water at Woodland In the north fork of Liewis River is now 14 feet 9 inches. The river is still rising at the rate of three inches a day. Another foot of water will cover nearly all of the river bottoms and will run the loss fig ure up to large proportions. There has been no interruption to traffic, but the heavy rains of the last three days, while of great benefit to the upland farmers. will probably cause slides in the new cuts made on the Northern Pacific road and may cause some delay to Vancouver and Kalama trains.
