TIIE MORNING OREGOXIAN, SATURDAY, JANUARY 3, 1914. 15 BEST HOPS WANTED Market for Choipe Oregons Is Firm at 21 1-2 Cents. PRIMES TAKEN AT 201-4 Ibemand Increases With Opening of New Tear Eastern Brewing Trade More Interested Con ditions In Knglish. Market. The rear has opened up In an encouraging Ininner for hopgrowers. There Is a fair dsmud from the East, which shows signs of broadening, and what Is more Important, better prices are being bid. Eastern brew ers should sooner or later be la the market for considerable supplies, and when they realize that stocks on the Coast are In small compass and that prices cannot be forced down, they should become liberal buyers. With an advance In sight, the operations of the short Interest can be expected to become a. prominent factor. The sale by Dug Mlnto, of Salem, of 82 bales to T. A. Livesly & Co. at 21 cents, reported yesterday, shows the drift of the market. This price was offered by other dealers on two Independence lots. Ona hundred bales of primes were sold at 20 cents. Trading was resumed In Western Wash ington yesterday. James Plncus bought 170 toales at 20 cents, the crops of Helse Bros.. t Ortlng, and Tom Long, at Chehalls. English hop dealers circulars dated De cember 13 to 17, say: Wild. Neame & Co. Business continues cuiet as must be expected at this period of the year, values are somewhat in buyers favor where holders desire to realize. Thornton & Manger Tho market Is aulet, only a small business doing in lowest priced hops ranging from 8 to S 10s. Holders mostly are determined not to give way. Continental markets unchanged. American markets are quiet; choice and next grades are difficult to be had. The bulk of the Imports has now arrived. Manger & Henley The demand during the past week has been of a moderate char acter and principally for the lower-priced liops. In some cases growers decline to ac cept current prices, feeling strongly values will improve before long. W. H. & H. Le May Whilst the general trade has been quiet during the past week, several parcels have changed hands at the current rates prevailing, making a further marked clearance of stocks held by growers. Messrs. Charles Farara & Co., Worcester Very few growers attend now, and they ap pear disposed to wait till the New Tear rather than meet the market In price. Buy ers are inclined to limit purchases In an ticipation of the approaching holidays. OSEGOV KRXIT ON LONDON MARKET Apples Plentiful, But Prices Are Being Maintained. The condition of the Knglish apple mar ket is reported by W. Dennis & Sons, of London, under date of December 18, as follows: "Boxed apples continue to arrive freely at London, about 12,000 having come for ward during the week. The price for Ore gon Newtowna remains Bteady at from 9s to 10s for the large fruit and up to 13s 8o for the medium and smaller slxe fruit. While we do not anticipate an advance on these figures for the present. In view of the quantities which are coming forward, we think the market will maintain its level. "Oregon box apples at Liverpool are no better trade, although we are hoping to see an Improvement shortly. They are realizing from 10s to lis 6d; Jonathans, 10s 6d to lis. Box apples generally are In light supply. Quotations: "In London Oregon Newtowns. 9a 13s d; Oregon Winter Nells, 12s015s.

MILL FEED MARKET FIRM AND HIGHER Wheat Trading Restricted by .Vnivllllnaness of Farmers to Accept Current Kates. The wheat market was firm, but still had a holiday appearance, so far as the amount of business was concerned. This was occasioned, however, by the unwilling ness of farmers to sell at the prices now offered, which are 85 cents for club and 5 cents for bluestem. No new business was reported in the ex- port flour market. Mill feed was strong and quoted SO cents to tl higher. Local receipts in oars were reported by the Merchants Exchange as follows: Wheat Barley Flour Oats Hay jtionnay. ..... Tuesday Wednesday. ..

Bt'TTER IS CLEANING TJP WELL Undertone of Market, However, Is No More Than Steady.

STOCKS NOT AFFECTED MOR.GA3T RETIREMENT HAS NO IX FLVEXCE ON PRICES. Market la Irregrolar, With Early Gain Ivost Later In Day GoTernaient Bonda Acjain Advance. NEW YORK, Jan. 2. The first day of the new year on the stock market was devoid n the surface of more than passing sig nificance. During the greater part of the session trading was dull and price changes In the main were unimportant though with a higher tendency. In the final hour a selling movement of moderate proportions wiped out most of the early gains, sending the general level under Wednesday's final quotations. The interesting event of the day. in its general application to financial and po litical conanions. was tne announcement that the banking house of Morgan & Co. had retired from numerous boards with which it had long been associated, and the intimation that further withdrawals would be announced from time to time. This gave rise to much surmise and conjecture, but had no Influence upon the stock market i n tanK of r ranee reported a gold 1 of about $2,000,000 and an enormous In crease in loans and discounts. Tho Bank of England also showed the effects of ex tensive year-end operations, although its gold holdings Increased almost ,410,000.000. There was a rise in call money to 9 per cent. United States 2s and Panama !H and ss advanced to per cent on call. Total sales of bonds. par value, aggregated $2,175,000. CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS. Reported by J. c.

Boys and Girls at Rink Forced to Stop Entertainment at 10:15 o'clock More Are Found on Streets. Acting; on information from a mother, that her daughter intended dancing- the old year out and the new year in at the Princess Rink, on East Morrison street, officers of the Juvenile Court visited the rink Wednesday night and ordered 35 boys and 17 girls, all less than 16 years old, to return to their homes. The names of all the children, who were charged with violating the ordinance which forbids children beine; on the streets after 8 o'cock unless accom panied by a. parent or guardian, were taken by Officers Jeffreys and Sand efer and Mrs. Elizabeth Cosgriff, and the parents will be warned that the of fense must not take place again. Activities at the rink were discon tinued when the officers arrived at 10:15 o'clock, until all the children had been ordered home. After the visit to the rink, the officers continued their work on the streets and before mid night 35 more boys and 10 girls had been ordered home. The children, the officers reported to Chief Probation Of ficer Mcintosh yesterday, were roam ing the streets, visiting theaters and other places of amusement and cele brating with the crowd. Some of these children were not more than eight years old, the officers reported. Mr. Mcintosh said that he proposed to .ask the City Commissioners to pass a law making it a crime for any the ater to sell a ticket to a child less than 15 years old, unaccompanied by an older person, to any performance which -will not close in time to per mit the child to see the mil perform ance and get home before 8 o'clock In the Winter or 9 o'clock In Summer. "It Is hard to punish the child for such an offense," said Mr. Mcintosh, "but If we can get an ordinance which will allow us to penalize the parent or the amusement place that allows un accompanied children to attend their performances at night, I believe we can stop the practice Many complaints have come to us that young children are running loose on the streets and at the theaters, especially the moving picture houses, and we are going to stop It If we can."

Paul Ord, a deaf, dumb and partially blind "newsie," who had a stand for years at Fourth and Washington streets until New Year's eve merrymakers broke up his stand and chair Wednesday night, wants to go to the rockpile. and says he will not fro to the poorfarm. Thi3 he wrote in Municipal Court yes terday, when he was on trial for smash ing a plate-glass window in the Meier & Frank store New Year's day. Ord carried on his "conversation" with the court by writing. Deputy Clerk Crounse wrote the court's ques tions and Ord replied in the same man ner. He refused to plead guilty or nol guilty to a charge of vagrancy for breaking the window, but wrote that he would like a sentence at the Linnton rockpile.
