19 TUB MORNING OREGON! AN, WEDNESDAY. DECEMBER 9, 1908. NO HIGHER TARIFF Congress Not Likely to Raise Duty on Hops. KLABER HOME FROM EAST 6ay Legislation In Favor or the In dustry Is 'ot to lie Kxpwted. Think Farmers Should Grow Fewer Hops Sext Tear. Herman Klaber returned .to rortland yes trday morning from Washington. D. C. .here. In company with E. C. Horst, he tnarte an argument before the ways and means committee of the House of Repre sentative for an Increase In the duty on Imported hops of 12 cents. Tn discussing the matter. Mr. Klaber said: The committee did not look favorably cn the proposition, and It la Hardly prob pble there will be an advance In the tariff, even though conditions Justify It. The fact that we Import lees hops tnan we export seemed to be the obstacle. We have shown the committee In supplemented briefs that In many commodities, auch aa leather, bar-l-y and others, the export are from 10 to jooo times greater than the Imports, and et the tariff on the Importations la greatly In excess of the duty Imposed on hops. These briefs will be considered In private session. Even if any favorable action should be taken. It will not become effective tor a year, and therefore the hop Industry cannot be benefited by It before 1910." Mr. Klaber was surprised to find that the market had slumped so badly while be waa In the East. "There Is no occasion for these 5-cent crices," said he. "If the growers were not In a stampede and throwing their hopa on the market, things would xm better. Vfm did what we could to hold the market up. but the farmers. Instead of using business Sense, evidently have gone all to pieces. It proves the old saying that It is easier to buy a cent under the market on a decline than two cents above It when the market Is advancing. The brewers are not so well supplied with hops as the people have been led to believe. A few are stocked up and par ticular stress has been laid on these Isolated casrs. Many of them feel .mcertaln as to the future, because of adverse legislation and for other reasons, and, like some busi ness men. in their caution go to extremes. "If the growers would cut out the 1W9 crop and hold on to their lOOSs they would be better off. If the t'nlted States next year only raised say KtO.OUO to 150.000 bales, the ISs on hand would be a better specu lation than the ll09s; in other words, they should follow the example of the tobacco growers, who have Just won out against t1i pressure of an enormous tr-sar. T!e tobacco-growers grew no tobacco this year and have been enabled to sell tne surplus of their former crops at good prlcea The hop growers could do the same thing and profit by It. but no advice will be taken seriously by them and they will sutler because of tha stampede that Is on." BARLEY GOING TO SAX FRANCISCO California Draws on Limited Supply and Prices Are llrmer. It Is reported that considerable quantities of barley are being forwarded to San Fran cisco, and this Is having a stiffening effect on the local market, as stocks are not heavy. There was no change In thye quoted prices yesterday. Oats were also firm. A sale of 300 tons of oats was made at the Merchants' Ex change. The California demand for wheat is less active than It was. but there was a mod erate local Inquiry yesterday at the old prices. Receipts. In cars, wera reported by tha Merchants' 2xchange as follows: Lec 6-6. Dec. 7. Last Wk. Wheat 71 M 24i Sarley J Flour 15 9 47 Oats a .. 3 Hay 11 M STEADY MOVEMENT IN HOP MARKET Growers WUUnr to Sell at Currently Offered Prices. The prices at which hops are offered for sale makes the transaction of business a simpler matter than was the case a short time ago. Business, therefore, is of good volume and Is likely to continue so as long as buyers and sellers keep so close together In their views. Among the transactions yesterday waa tha purchase by H. L. Hart of 4O0 bales, in cluding 200 secured from W. W. Hostetter. of Reedvllle. at 6 cents. MeXeff Bros, bought S4 bales from B. 8. Catching, of Forest Grove, at 64 cents. Klaber, Wolf A better's London cable aid: "On fair to good quality market closed strong. On poor qualities, market quiet at 'Unchanged prlcea" LITE POULTRY SELLS READILY. Demand Strong Enough to Take All Offer ings at Full Prices. AH kinds of poultry moved freely yester day at good prices, with a first-class de . mand and receipts by no means heavy. Good hens brought 1313H cents, while smalt Springs sold at 13 914 cents. Other descriptions sold at last prices. The egg trade was reported slow, but re ceipts were so small that the full prices of last week were again quoted. Butter was firm In price with a "free movement. Cheese, as was noted In these columns yesterday, advanced Htrl cent. Fresh Produce In Good Demand. Business In the fruit and vegetable line continues of very fair volume. The prin cipal demand for fruit Is for oranges, which bold steady in price. Cranberries are firm eat the recent advance with moderate buy ing. Among the receipts yesterday wera two cars of orangea Four cars of bananas are due today. Bank Clearing. Clearings of the Northwestern cities yes terday were aa follows: Clearings. Balances.

PRICES FULL BACK Message Does Not Have the Anticipated Effect. TRADE ON SMALL SCALE Ilarriman 6tock9 Are the Sustaining Feature of the New York Mar ket Erlo and Gould Group Hold Vp, NEW TORK. Deo, 8. The dimlnlFhing volume of business and tha narrowing range of tha price fluctuations are evidence of the growiag professionalism of the stock market. Another indication of the same state of af faire is the short duration of a price move ment in one direction. The presentation of the President's annual message to Congress, being the principal event of the day, was selxed upon for at tempted use as a motive power for price movement. Stocks were bid up on the as sumption that the effect of the recommenda tions of the message would be favorable to values. The substance of the document was accurately known beforehand In many bro kers' offices. Its effectiveness as a stimu lant to new operations In stocks proved to have been overestimated, as shown by the decrease In activity of the dealings after its appearance and the drooping tendency of prices. In view of the extent of the reitera tion of views In the message, in many in stances1 covered by citation of the precedent. It was not surprising that lack of material for new speculative decision should be found. The fact of it being the last annual message of an outgoing executive also mitigated against its effectiveness as an Instrument for speculative ueea. Satisfaction was caused, however, by the denunciation of the folly of the effort to pro hibit all combinations contained in the anti trust law. but this satisfaction was modified by the advice to give to some agency of the Government full power of control and super vision of such combinations as might be per mitted. The recommendation to pleoe telegraph and telephone companies under the Jurisdiction of the Interstate Commerce Commission con duced to the weakness In Western Union, although loss by a fire and expressed doubts over recent reports of an Intention to ad vance the dividend rate bad an effect on that atock. Harriman stocks were the sustaining fea ture of the market and Erie was included in the group in the same manner as was the Gould group. An instance of .the kind of assumptions of financial agreements on which stress was laid was the impression created by the announcement of the National City Bank that its successful bid for a block of Panama Canal bonds was on behalf of J. P. Morgan. & Co. and the First National Bank, as well as for itself. Bonds were steady. Total sales, par value, $5,370,000. United Statea 4s, coupon, ad vanced 14 per cent on call.

Another Shipment of Japanese Or anges Put on -Sale Eggs and Butter Firmer. SEATTLE, Wash., Dec. 8. (Special.) The market is overstocked with hay. Mon tana shippers are consigning large quan tities of good hay to brokers in this city who are keeping the market down. The letting of the Government contract for 9000 tons of hay to a dealer here Is not ex pected to have any material effect on tne market, owing to the fact that the hay has already been purchased. It is estimated th Montana has a surplus of 20.000 tons that will likely be sold on the Coast before the next crop. Oats are steady to Arm, selling from (32.50 to $34. Another shipment of 1000 cases of Jap anese oranges reached here today. Owing to the shortage of ripe oranges for the holiday trade, dealers lodk for an active demand for the Japanese oranges during the next few weeks. A car of navels reached here today, but was all sold before noon. Top navels bring as high as 53.35. Grapes were a drug on the market. Stock that dealers held for $1.75 yesterday would not move at any price. There was but one house on the street that asked more than 60 cents for eggs to dav. Receipts are very much heavier. The butter market is a little firmer. Reports from the country are that the cream sup ply is shrinking. QUOTATIONS AT BAN FRANCISCO. Prices Paid for Produce In the Bay City Markets. SAN FRANCISCO.

SALES CAUSE EARLY DROP Upturn Aided by Small Receipts In the Xorthwest Favorable Har vesting Weather Reported From Argentina. CHICAGO. Dec. 8. Following a mod erately firm opening, due to covering by shorts and buying by bull leaders, the wheat market developed decided weakness toward the end of the first hour, owing to renewed selling based on the bearish show ing of the Government report. Before the de cline was checked, prices had dropped 134 c to 2c from the high point of the day. The selling was apparently overdone, and when leading holders began to buy again, prices readily rebounded to almost their former position. The upturn was aided by small receipts In the Northwest and by an In crease of 1.052,000 bushels In the world's visible supply. Cables were weak and the weather In Argentina was reported favorable for harvesting. Prices at the close were H 14 c higher to 4e lower, the December delivery being relatively the weakest month. Final quotations on December were at $1.03 and on May $1.08 a 1.09. Liquidation of the December delivery, which carried the price of that option down more than lc and weakened the market in general, was the feature of trade In the corn pit. The market closed steady, with De cember at 69 59 o and May at 62 c. Tbe severe slump In wheat caused moderate weakness in oats early, but a substantial rally occurred later. The market closed strong, December at 6014c and May 62?4c. Provisions were quiet and steady, closing 2Hc higher to 2Hc lower. The leading futures ranged as follows: WHEAT. Open. High. Low. Close.

HAS TWO BILLS TO OFFER Senator Abraham Would Nonsuit Provision of Present Statute. ROSEBURG, Or., Dec. 8. (Special.) Among the bills that will be Introduced at the coming session of the Legisla ture ncill be two by Senator-elect Al bert Abraham, of this city, pertaining to matters concerning the legal profes sion. The first measure proposes to do awav with involuntary nonsuit and motion to direct verdict, and preserv ing the substance of such practice after a verdict. The purpose of such a change would be to avoid the unnecessary expense of resubmitting the case to another jury, should the ruling of the trial court be reversed, and the further purpose of avoiding the possible effect upon the jury in uny intimation of opinion by the judge as to the facts upon over ruling such motions. Under the pro posed law a judge will not have the right to instruct a jury to bring in any certain verdict, but, on the other hand, the evidence must be submitted to the jurv, who will determine as to whether declaring a nonsuit or otnerwise. nuw ever, the judge may reverse the opinion of the jury. Mr. Abraham claims this proponed law, if passed, will operate in favor of the poor man. The second bill which Abraham will submit, will have to do with the care less shooting and killing of companions and others by hunters. The law pro vides for the punishment of persons under the charge of criminal careless ness, but no one is ever posecuted for the many so-called accidents. Mr. Abraham's proposed measure is des tined to provide a specific charge for cases of this nature. CITY LOSES TOWN POUND Mayor Curll 'Will Offer Reward for Its Ijoeation and TJeturn.
