Prntking of tlio hop situation, Cap'
tam (..eorK'e yoyo, 01 rortiana, says:
"The situation of Oregon's bop crop
this year U a poouliar one. Four
weeks ago the most conservative grower
or dealer had made up his mind that
nearly 100,000 bales would be pro
tlnceit in this Mate. The liops were
on the vines, and no doubt the quality
would have beeu excellent but for the
heavy rains in August, which imparted
new life to vines, and fresh strobiles
began to set on laterals that could not
have come to maturity at so late
date. In addition to this, the core i
the burr crew continuously under con
ditions produced by the Aoguxt rains
and the warm weather of this month.
so that growers were confronted by
problem that puzzled them. Kilns
which in former years could be dried
in 18 hours could not this year be
taken off in less than 24 to 26 hours
and in some cases even 80 hours were
required to take off a flooring of moder
ate size. Thin threw the drying ma
chuiery out of shape. The hops, owing
to the cool weather of August were
lackward. Picking of them did not
become general until about September
10, so that all large yards have suf
fered considerably. Entire yards hav
leen abandoned on account of the rapid
spread of mold, with the result that
the crop has been cut down to about
70,000 bales. The quality of these 70,
000 bales will range about 10,000
bales choice, 80,000 to 40,000 medium.
and the remainder indifferent.
"From what is known of other states,
California has the best quality, and
60,000 bales is said to be the yield in
that state. Washington's quality
paid to be the same as ours, but as that
state is seven or eight days later in
maturing the crop west of the Caa
cades, it is doubtful if it will harvest
the quota accredited to her 50,000
bales. New York has one-third less
this year than last, and the crop is
said to have come down in very poor
shape. English advices are contacting,
The yield in England is said to be the
heaviest in many years. One writer
who is an authority, while very con
servative, gives the yield as 1,100
pounds per acre. b England this year
has 60,000 acres of hops. Such
yield, therefore, if it is all gathered,
will be nearly equal to British con
sumption. Germany's crop is also
above the average, but it is doubtful if
she has many hops to throw on the ex
port market. The market value of
English hops today ranges from 2 15s
to 4 10s per 112 pounds, but it is said
that even these prices will not be
maintained after the surplus of the
United States seeks an outlet. As to
this, however, there is no assurance
"The points in favor of the grower
are these: First, the old stocks have
all been worked off, and the crop of the
world goes to a practically bare market;
second, times all the world over are
better, confidence has been restored,
labor is everywhere fully employed,
and hence the consumption of beer is
on the increase."
Seattle Starch Factory.
At the meeting of the Seattle chain
bor of commerce at Seattle last week
that committee reported in favor of aid'
ing in raising f 25,000 for the establish'
mint of a starch factory there. The
proposed factory is to be built under
the supervision of Mr. Hundhausen, of
Westfalen, Germany whose family
owns a secret process oi making starch
that has been in use for 30 years. The
process saves all the gluten from the
flour, while the process now in use on
the coast, saves little or none of the
gluten. The estimated cost of build
ing and running the factory is 27,924.
It is estimated that a factory at that
point could sell in round numbers one
eighth of all the starch used on the
coast, or per annum 600,000 pounds.
This is an average of one ton per day
and would require 1.33 tons of flour
per day.

there has been no mail or passenger

association has recently let a contract
with a Portland firm for the building
of a steamer wheh will cost $200,000.

A petition is being circulated in At

county court judge for that district.
The need of such a court is imperative.
Already there are 28 cases on the cal

work great hardship. In one case an
old gentleman sued for 60 days' wages
at 4 per day, in all $240. The
mount being over $100 the matter
could not bo settled in the small debts

Reaction In ttia Dtock Market Hat Bat
Little street.
K. G. Dun fc Co.'s weekly review of
trade says: The reaction in tho ttoo
market is not a sign of anything outside
that market, but has caused manv to
look for signs of a reaction elsewhere.
Such signs have) been hard to find. It
has been for months a wonder that the
demand for products was sustained at
rates exceeding past consumption in
any year, notwithstanding the general
rises in prices. But the demand does
not appear to abate, and the rise in
prices continues:
Wheat exports fall a little below
last year's, but in three week, flour
included, have been 8,866,877 bushels
for Atlantio ports, against 9,393,831
bushels last year, and 1,021,998 bush'
els from Pacitio ports, against 907,961
bushels last year. But Western re
ceipts have been 21,759,852 bushels,
against 33,099,397 bushels last year,
and even more impressive are the re
ceipts of 13,616,032 bushels of corn,
against 11,177,483 bushels last year.
and the exports of 9,201,427 bushels.
against 6,943,966 last year.
Further government reports have
been so credited abroad that cotton has
risen to 6.63 cents, but It comes for
ward more freely than in years of max
imum crops.
w hen men pay $3 to $5 per ton more
than the latest quoted price for iron
products in order to get early deliver
ies, it is because delay is threatened on
works or railroads or bridges, vessels
or machinery, promising a profit many
times the cost of a small fraction of the
material. In such circumstances as
in much of the reconstruction and ex
pansion now going on, present cost
counts for little compared with the
earning power of the finished product
in a time like this.

Wives of the Waits Ring;.
Johann Strauss, the waltz king, was
scarcely laid away to rest la the .Fried
bof when a series of disputes arose
over his possessions. Strauss secured
to his wife and stepdaughter, as well
his sisters, moderate Incomes for
life, and then made the Society of
Friends of Music his heir-at-law. lie
disinherited his brother, tho well
known Eduard Strauss, and made no
provision for the destitute widow of his
brother Joseph. The chief effort to dis
pute the legality of Straws' will Is to
be made by h:s second wife, from whom
he claimed that he was divorced.
When Strauss contracted his second
marriage both he and his wife were
Roman Catholics, and were united In a
Catholic church and with the rites of
that religion. The Austrian marriage
laws are exceptional'y severe, aud mar
ried Catholics can In this country se
cure a legal separation from one anoth
er, but never an absolute divorce which
enables them to marry again. The re
sult Is that Koman Catholics who have
secured a separation resort to all sorts
of evasions of the law In order to mar
ry again. Johann Strauss receded from
Roman Catholicism and became a Prot
estant then emigrated to the Duchy of
Saxe-Coburg-Gotba, resided there for a
period, obtained an absolute divorce
from his wife and married a third time.
This evasion of the Austrian mar
riage lawsdeprlved Stratus of the court
favor which be bad enjoyed, and It
seems certain that In the strict legal
sense his second wife Is his rightful
widow, whereas his third wife, for
whom he has provided, had no authen
tic claim on him. The Austrian laws ol
succession provide that a wife can nev
er be disinherited, but has always a
claim on at least one-tblrd of the prop
erty left by her husband, so that the
second wife of the great musician has
every prospect of obtaining this share
of bis wealth. At present she Is In
poor circumstances, and earns her liv
ing In a photographic studio In Berlin.
Walla Plastered with Coin.
Miss Daisy Dentz, of Dentzvllle,
N. J., a suburb of Trenton, has prob
ably the largest collection of coins In
New Jersey. Some of them are many
hundred years old, and tbey represent
the currencies of nearly every country
in the world. Some Idea of the size of
the collection may be gathered from
the fact that the celling of Mist
Dentz's boudoir Is completely covered
with United States money, while the
four walls are hidden behind the coins
of Asiatic, European, African and
South American countries. There it
considerable history attached to tblt
collection, especially to the English
coins, which were found near Prince
ton in a queer shaped hat by one of
Miss Dentz's relatives while In search
of minerals. The hat Is similar In shape
to those worn by the Hessian soldiers
during the revolution and Is still hi
Miss Detnz's possession. There are
many valuable coins in her collection,
and were she to convert them all into
present American currency they would
yield quite a snug sum. Philadelphia

A Fable In Slocks,
Once upon a time an operator In
stocks was sold short, aud ruin stored
hi in in the faco unless the market
should break. In his deHtration lis
mmetubered having heard that honesty
Is ths best policy. He tried to dis
miss the foolish thonght, but .In vain.
Finally, like the drowning man catch
ing at the straw, ha resolved to try be
ing honest. The very nest day hs put
his design into execution, and he
hadn't been honest mora tliau 15 min
utes when 17 of the leading hulls fell
dead, they were so surprised at bliu,
Hereupon ths market naturally bruits,
and the operator could get all the stocks
ho wanted at his own figure, it Is
claimed that some, If not all, of those
bulls had taken radishes anil ham for
hrvaktaat, but that, It la submitted,
does not destroy the moral ol this table.
