THE MORNING OEEGQNIAN, -TUESDAY, JULY 28, 1903. 13 CANNED FRUIPPACK Will Be Nearly as Large as That of Two Years Ago. AND ARE SUPERIOR IN QUALITY Seven Plants Operating In the North west Price Snow Slight Advance EKect of Child Labor Law on Iho Industry. Estimated output of canned fruits and vegetables In Oregon and territory tributary to Portland this year a'nd output in two preceding years: Cases. 1003 110.000 1002 80.000 1001 .-..11S 000 The output of canned fruit In Oregon this season, while not ec.ua! to that of 1801 In Quantity, will be superior In quality to any thing produced in this state In the history of the industry. The two canneries In this city and the plants at Llnnton, Salem, Eugene, 'Ashland and Vancouver, seven In all, will turn out close to 110,000 cases, as compared with an output of 80,000 cases last year and 118, 000 cases two years ago, when, the production was tho largest on record. There will be a medium pack of cherries, a. good pock of strawberries and the Average quantity of pears will be put up. The pack of peas will be about 30 per cent short of last year. Other vegetables are not handled In large quantity by Northwest canners. except tomatoes, of which considerable are packed at tho plant at Ashland. These goods, however, do not find their way Into tho jobbing trade here, but are disposed of In Ashland's local territory. Prices for the list rule a little higher than last year, and the increased price seems to affect sales to somo extent. The cost of packing In Oregon this year has 'Seen increased by the higher price of the raw material and the additional cost of la bor. The child-labor law passed by the last Legislature affects the packing industry heie as well as In Illinois and New York, not withstanding the business Is conducted on a smaller scale In this state. The provisions of the Oregon child-labor law follow: "No child under 14 years of age shall be employed in any factor', store, workshop, In or about any mine, or in tho telegraph, tele phone or public messenger service. "No child under the age of 14 years shall be employed In any work or Arm for wages or other compensation to whomsoever payable during the hours when the public schools of the town, district or city in which he or she resides are in session.'.' Child labor is thus prohibited In the fruit canneries while It is permitted in the drled irult industry, hopyards and orchards. The came class of labor Is employed and the con ditions that govern It - are practically the same. Labor In the canneries as well as in the bopnelds and orchards Is on the system of piece work. It is very light work and "the re muneration depends on the capacity of the worker. They can do as much or as little as they see fit. In the canneries In this city the women and girls practically chose their own hours, stopping when they are tired. Fur thermore, the bulk of the fruit packing Is done during the Summer vacation time and can have no effect on the. schooling of children. The real cause of the opposition of the pack ers to the working of the now law Is that it places the Industry at a disadvantage in vlevr of the fact that no similar law exists In Cali fornia, our principal competitor In the fruit- packing business. The market Is made by the total pack of canned goods In the country. Oregon must meet the competition of other Pa cific Coast states and the East in order to move her goods. Anything that will tend to Increase the cost of production hero will tend to limit the output. If all localities had the same law, of course the packers here would not be affected. As It is, the canners of this state think the child-labor law should havu made an exception of employment in the fruit packing houses, but since the law stands, they are willing to abide by the consequences, not agitating, as in the East, for an evasion or modification of 'any particular provision of it. Of the canning situation la the East, tho Trade, of Baltimore,, says: In fruits, the situation Is becoming clear as to peaches. The verdict has to be rendered at this time, that in this Chesapeake region there are very few peaches of any kind upon the trees. There was no great June drop to record because there was no fruit upon the trees to fall off; what fruit can be found is, however, naturally, of a superior size and qual ity, but this -will hardly compensate for tne loss of the bulk of the crop. We know of peach trees that usually bear well, upon which but half a dozen peaches can be found, and while they are of extraordinary size, such, an ettect is disheartening to tho growers. Under these circumstances the cheaper grades of peaches will increase in value as' far as spot stocks are concerned, and as the apple crop will certainly be below the average In quantity and quality, we will probably want peaches badly before next Bummer's crop comes 'round. In nearly all sections the quantity of straw berries that has coxno to the canners has been extraordinary, quality generally being deficient. Raspberries have been somewhat more normal and blackberries a good average. WITHDRAW FR03I POOQL. Change In the Hop Situation at y North Yakima. NORTH YAKIMA. July 27. (Special.) A new condition of affairs has arisen In the hop situation in the Yakima Valley during the last week or so. Of the pool of growers, roost of the smaller holders have given notice of withdrawal, though there does not seem to be any more of a disposition to sell than there was before. Someof the larger hold ers maintain that they will not part with their hops till the price goes tip again, and they think theysee indications of a rebound. There is also considerable talk of organizing a hopgrowers' union during the coming year, as the growers of the valley have never been organized and they believe that such an or ganization would be of great benefit to them. Conservative- estimate places this year's crop at from 12,000 to 13,000 bales, the same as last year. A number of holders in the neigh borhood of Zlllah this week sold 112 bales to McNeff Bros. The price Tjald was not divulged, but it is understood to have been about 16 cents. BUTTEVTLLE HOP DISTRICT. From One-Half to Two-Thirds of an Average Crop Expected. OREGON CITY, Or.. July 27. (Special.) "There will not be to exceed from one-half to two-thirds of an average crop of hops this year," said Francis Feller, a prominent hop grower of Buttevllle today. Mr. Feller gives as a reason for the reduced yield the failure of a great number of the vines In the majority of the yards to .grow this .season. In many yards, he says, there are fully 50 per cent of the hills missing. Mr. Feller reports that lice have appeared in large numbers in many yards In the vicinity of Buttevllle. The reas onably cool weather of the last iwo weeks, he says, bu been favorable to tho propaga- tlon of this pest, and unlets the weather be comes extremely warm, accompanied by hot wind, be predicts that more extensive dam age trill result to the growing crop from this source. With favorable weather conditions that will accomplish the extermination of the Ilea ! and the proper maturing of the crop, Mr. Feller predicts that the hops that will be har vested will of a splendid quality. Mr.- roller, who Is treasurer of the Oregon Hopgrowers' Association, says the associa tion will be continued again this year. By pooling their Interests, the growers have been enabled to purchase necessary harvesting sup plies at reduced cost, although the efforts of the organization at disposing of4 its hops have not been us satisfactory recently as the . In-, terested growers had "hoped for. PORTLAND MARKETS. Grain, Flour, Feed, Etc. Wheat la quiet, so far as business is con cerned. Only a tew transactions, have been reported In new wheat and trading In old wheat is confined to some small lots in the interior, taken for milling account.

Early Losses Dae to Announcement of Stoclc Exchange Failure Are Entirely Wiped Oat. NEW YORK, July 27. In spite of, or prob ably because bf. two additional failures on the stock exchange E. S. Hooley & Co.. of this city, and William Bassett. of Boston today's stock market showed very general improve ment and the situation, as a whole, was viewed with more cheerfulness. The Hooley failure was regarded as an Inevitable sequel to that of W. T. Stow & Co., which came last Fri day. The failure of Mr. Bassett was wholly unimportant one of the day's Incident. The market displayed a hesitating tone at tho outset, many of the railroad stocks show ing fractional declines. Slignt Improvement soon followed, but prices fell off 1 to 3 points in the active list, with even greater declines in the specialties, as soon as the Hooley fail ure came out. Evansville & Terre Haute a Hooley specialty, declined &V& points, and tho entire list reflected considerable contusion. By the end of the first nour. the situation seemed well in hand and prices advanced, save In a few Instances, where pressure continued to be directed at several stocks. The Bassett failure announced at noon caused hardly any excitement. So far as known, Mr. Bassett has no outstanding contracts in this city. Further Improvement was shown by the mar ket In the last hour. Even Evansville & Terre Haute recovered all but 1 point of Its loss, Des Moines ic Fort Dodge, another Hooley, stock, gaining 4 points. While somewhat ir regular at times, the list made a number of material net gains. These Include advances of 2 per cent or more In the active railway list: Brooklyn Rapid Transit, 2; Consoli dated Gas, 2r Lackawanna, 9; Delaware t Hudson, 414; Minneapolis 4t St. Louis com mon. 3, and Iowa Central common and prw ferrcd, 1 and 2 points, respectively. A few high-class Industrials made gains, notably the Westlnghouse issues, 5 points; General Elec tric, 3; United States Steel common. 1& and the preferred, IK. On the other hand, some other industrials finished the day. with severe declines. Shares of the Rubber Goods Company and the United States Rubber Company, in which the firm of Talbot J. Taylor & Co is said to be Interested, sold at better prices. The falluro of Hooley & Co., announced shortly after the opening this morning, renewed the . feeling of nervousness, and prices were again forced to ft lower level. There were vio lent declines In some of the stocks. In which the failed firm was Immediately interested. A number of standard railroad stocks at the same time sold 'down from 1 to 2 points under Saturday's level. But even during this period of initial weakness, there was manifest a good absorption of stock and points of strength per sisted against the depression. Later in the day, when it was said no further failures would be announced, the tone of the market became very strong and the early losses were wiped out, even in the weak stocks, while the general level of the market rose to a substan tial level over Saturday nignt. The demand was especially conspicuous for New York Central, St, Paul, Southern Pacific Reading. Illinois Central and stocks of a like substantial grade. Some large orders were executed In all of these stocks and at other points throughout the market. Some prices ended the day from 1 to over 3 above Sat urday's level for prominent stocks and at a much wider advance for the less active secur ities. Some of this buying was to cover short contracts, and a considerable portion of it was by professional operators for a turn in the market on the long side. But there was an im proved demand for investment, both in stocks and bonds, and stock exchange commission houses showed an increased confidence in ask ing their customers to buy. Only a few of tho Inactive stocks showed such violent falls as havo characterized the recent market, which I pointed to a conclusion that there was less pressure to close" out unmarketable securities figuring as collateral In lots and Improve. ment In facilities for securing accommoda tion. The recent contraction of credit In the stock market has been largely due to distrust of such operations as those In which the recently failed firms have been largely engaged. In volving, as they did, inflation and manipula tion of tho values of securities. The letting out of this Inflation has really brought a sense of relief from the oppression of artificial con ditions hanging over the market and sustained with difficulty. These held-over projects were quite apart from the earlier ones In which the syndicates were successful In holding up prices until their holdings were taken off their ba,nds, and which have left behind them also their train of financial distress and dis appointment. But with the passing of the syndicates' interests In these and the abandon ment of the artificial supports, stocks have been allowed to sink to the level natural to changes In their status. Tho recent failures represent the abandonment of efforts to sus tain by main strength the prices of securi ties, tho market for which has passed, and the closing up of affairs which resulted is tho cause of sensible relief In the market. The market closed quiet and steady and only slightly below the top level. The bond market continued rather Irregular. Total sales, par value, $3,225,000. United States bonds were unchanged on last call. .STOCKS. Atchison I do preferred Baltimore & Ohio do preferred Canadian Pacific Central of New Jersey. Chesapeake & Ohio....
