13 THE MORNING OREGOXI AN, TUESDAY, AUGUST 25, 1908. NEW HOP DEALS Business Transacted at 7 to 8 Cents. NEED OF PICKING MONEY Crop Conditions In New York and Germany Steady Buying In the Wheat Market Fresh Produce Delayed. Hop contracting has been resumed, a Jars number of deals ol this Kind having been made In the pat three days. The prices paid have been 7. TH and 8 cents. Dealers reported to have made contracts within thl range are T. A. Llvesley Co.. Kola-Neis. Jullui Plncus and Catlln 4 Linn. The resumption of contracting Is due to the near approach of harvest time and the necessity some of the growers are under to raise picking money. The sales show but little profit t the growers, but will probably save them from loss and enable ' them to tide over what they fear will be a poor market year. There will be plenty of picker this year. Judging from the success. Krebs Bros, are having In signing up applicant at their local office In the Worcester building. About 300 pickers were engaged yesterday. Mr. Krebs is arranging for the biggest hop excursion train that ever left Portland. It will consist of at least 17 coache. The condition of the New York hop crop Is reported by late paper of that state a follows: Many of our local grower will begin the harvest of the Humphrey hops tomor row. The hops have matured rapidly with in the past few days and while possibly r.ot as large as in some years, owing to the drought during the growing season, yet are of good color at.d are clean and healrhy looking. By nest week growers will be ah e to estimate Just what the shortage In this state will amount to. Watervllle Times. Hops In this vicinity are seriously affected and it Is feared that the crop will be al most a failure. The burrs are not develop ing a they should, and lice, blight and mil dew are already In evidence. The s.uation appears to be a very serlou one for all large growers who have spent much money In caring for their yards up to this tlme The condition of the yards may be said to be critical. Evidently the situation in Central New York Is not similar, for. though the vines have suffered from drought, what vine there are are reported to be well burred out and the prospect for a fine quality ex cellent. Malone Farmer. Bernard Blng write from Nuremberg August 1 of the German crop: The general outlook for the hop plant In Bohemia and Bavaria continue to be very " favorable. The plant which did no: how any trace of vermin or lnaect during the whole growing period has not suffered either during the late hot weather a rain started in good time. The blossoms begin to break out and they seem to come on very plentifully. If the weather continues to be as favorable as lately we have every right to expect a full yield. Owing to the advanced condition of the plant picking will start about a week earlier than In other year. EXPORTERS HTlI.l, TAKING WHEAT but Loral Market 1 Above the Foreign Basis. Although local wheat prices are about Hi cent above export values, buying con tinues In the country on a fairly liberal cale. As a rule, however, grower are holding back anticipating better price later. It Is estimated that up to the present time a quarter of the crop has changed hands. I The holder of this bouahten wheat main- tain a firm front. Wheat and barley were unchanged at the Board of Trade yesterday and oat were quoted stronger.

There were no changes In the country pro duce markets yesterday. Poultry receipt were light and the supply cleaned up well at firm prices. Egg receipt for the two day were re jported by the Board of Trade a 304 cases. Ibut the proportion of strictly fancy Oregon .egg In the receipt was light and extras .were in good demand at 26-27 centa with occasional sales at 27 cents. The bulk of the day's business waa In eggs that would riot reach this grade and sold around 25 cent. Candling returns show plainly that many of the oggs being marketed now have been held back toj long. This Is the usual practice of many shippers on a rising mar iet. but they gain nothing by it. The cheese and butter markets were firm and unchanged. Butter receipts for 48 hours were 22S boxes. CALIFORNIA PRUNKS IN GERMANY Dealers Complain of Deception on the Part of shippers. German dealer complain of the lack of , freshness In California prune. Vice Consul ;jame L. A. Burrell. of Uagdcburg. wrltea (of importations cf California prunes Into that market during 1907: The first shipments, which were sold very .cheaply by Hamburg firms as early a May. gave cause for complaint In many Instances. Instead of consisting entirely of 1907 fruit they were mixed with older prunes which lhad been freshened. In some caaes they consisted entirely of old prunes. The deficiencies were rot discovered at Him U)urg. and later the seller wii unable to protect himself, because the complaint nad txiot been made In the prescribed time. In T abl I firr to secure damages, as the Hamburg rm claimed to nave nougnt tne prum from California as 1907 fruit, and deception on his part could not be proved. The Magde burg Chamber of Commerce warns against buying from any but well-known California ahd Hamburg firms Southern Produce Shipment Delayed. The wreck on the Southern Pacific pre vented any California or Southern Oregon produce reaching this market yesterday, but a number of cars were expected to get through last night.

OPENING PRICES LOWER Harriman Issues and United-States Steel Are the Strongest Features of the List Money Harden ing at Chicago. NEW YORK, Aug. 24. Business on the Stock Exchange during the early session was les than one-fifth of that transacted In the same period Saturday, and throughout the day the market had frequent periods of utter inertia. Report dealing with the general buelneea condition were rather conflicting. Railroad officials west of Chicago admitted that long haul trafflc continued disappointing, with the grain movement much below expectations. From the Southern, mercantile centers came advlcea of very slow recovery. The coal, lumber and livestock movement are some what better, but still much below normal. Grain receipt at Chicago last week were 750. 000 bushels les than the prevlou week and 1,067,000 bushels under the same week last year. The eame falling off applle in greater or less degree to other foodstuffa Other development having direct relation to the stock market were Candidate Taft's pledge to an early tariff revision in the event of hi election and the inauguration of an action by the Attorney-General of this state against the various companies engaged in the transportation of hard coal within it boun daries), i Lower price were recorded in the local market at the opening, the greatest loss being sustained by Northern Pacific. General weak ness u shown throughout the active llet, with occasional fitful rallies, resulting chiefly from the support accorded United States steel and the Harriman Issues. By noon the mar ket had improved, with quotation, however, till below Saturday's. The strength of Southern Pacific was the most conspicuous feature of the later trading, the remainder of the active list showing a weak under tone. London' business her was1 small, mod erate purchases of steel common and Union Pacific being reported. Five and six month loan were made at 8 per cent and plenty of call money was offered at per cent. Chicago was reported with a hardening tendency, the marking up of rates suggesting a change in the monetary conditions there. Estimate of interest and dividend disburse ments for September are placed at $78,400,000. Bonds were Irregular today. Total sale, par value. aggregated $3,244,000.

NATIONAL 8I0C: A Fortune for Everyone Quick I have always preached "Don't speculate," but the whole world does. The soundest, safest, surest principle of (spec ulation Is: Buy 100 shares of, something selling at $2 per share to make 100 points profit instead of buying 100 shares of anything at $100 per share to make 2 points profit. Your liability on $100 per share is $10,000, at $2 per share it is only $200. The greatest fortunes in the world have ALL been laid on this foundation. My own fortune and financial success was laid in buying Butte & Boston at the present price of "National Stock." Standard Oil Rogers and Rockefeller, who were my partners in the deal, and every broker in Boston and New York, will vouch for this fact. They will vouch, too, for the fact that I advertised as T am now advertising "National Stock" that all who would buy at $2 per share would be able to sell at $100 per share, and also for the fact that inside of two years from the time I ad vertised they could all have sold at $130 per share, and notwithstanding the recent panics and what-nots, each $2 invested in Butte & Boston upon my pledge for its future is worth in the open market today $80. I trust that people everywhere will buy "Na tional Stock" to the extent of every dollar they Boston, August 19, 1908. WHEAT PIT HEAVY Increased Movement and Bearish Weekly Statistics. TRADING IS NOT LARGE Iale in the Day the Demand In creases Slightly and the Close Is Steady Corn and Oats Weak. CHICAGO, Auit. 21. Bearish weekly sta tistics and an Increased movement of the new crop were insurmountable obstacles to any advance In wheat prices on the local exchange today, the market closing heavy, with prices unchanged to 4c below the final quotations of the previous sessions. Initial quotations showed losses of He to c. compared with faturday's close, Sep tember opening at 112 to 924e and De cember at 9Kc. Prices rallied slightly sev eral times, but the upturn failed to Increase the volume of trade, the Impending move ment of the new crop seeming to prohibit anv great activity. December sold between 93 c and 84 tic. There was a little better demand in evidence late in the day and the market closed steady, with prices unchanged to Hc lower, final figures on September 'be ing at 93c and on December at 937s Wc. Continuance of favorable weather for the maturing of the new crop caused weakness In the corn market. Cash prices were i & lc lower. The market closed weak, with prices off 14c to c. Oats were bearishly affected by the weak ness of wheat and corn and by a decline of hie to lc In the price of the cash grain. Trade was very quiet. . - The close was easy at losses of Uc to 'c. Buying of provisions by local packers held the market- firm, despite the weakness of grain. The market closed firm, with prices unchanged to 15c higher. Leading futures ranged as followa: WHEAT.

It has sent instructions to its press agents and brok ers everywhere: "Spread this story. 'Na tional Stock' is a blind discretionary pool ; has never been traded in on Stock Exchanges, is not traded in on any open market. Is sold pri vately by Lawson for his personal profit." To spike this mud gun ot the System I here with, as president of the "National Stock," legally bind it to pay to anyone who can prove there is any truth in any of the above state ments the sum of $50,000. Yesterday was the heaviest day for orders, pamphlets "and inquiries since the campaign began. Tomorrow the first pamphlets will be mailed. On receipt of pamphlets the real buying of "National Stock" will begin, and in anticipa tion of the tremendous demand, I again ask that everyone limit their orders to $3 per share (Boston) or $6 (New York), and to hold orders at this figure until I advise in public advertise ments to increase the limit.
