OREGON HOPS GROW IN FAVOR.
Quality Will Be Maintained hy Pick-
ing Clean, Properly Curing:, Etc
SALEM. Aug. 28. (Special.) "If Oregon
Ihopgrcwers will pick their bops clean, use
onty gxxi sulphur, and bale them without
I mlx'rjr in any refuse, they will find a good
market The reputation ai Oregon hops ls
grow.g every year." This is the declara-
Stlon cf Jahn Carmicfeael. a wcil-knewn English
hepbuyer, who returned this morning from a
three-months' visit to England. 'The outlook
for the Oregon hopgrower for the next two or
three years looks very bright to me. While I
nnot attempt to say what price will be
!s year or next year. I think It is certain
that the returns will pay the grower a good
profit on his labor and investment.
" Oregon hops are every year becoming bet
ter known, and. for one reason, because the
J growers are careful in drying them. Most of
tV. rwi-rm nit t- rmlv refined sulphur. I
while la England crude sulphur 1 generaUy

cleaner, brighter t.ppearance. vnlle we cruae
eulphur gives then:, a dirty appearance. While
I was In Eur land I attended a convention 01
honmnrer. and was asked to address them
upon the subjett of aopgrowlng In this coun
try- I told them, among omer umst, "
Oregon the best growers use refined eulphur 1
and after the merits of the two grades bad
been discussed, the growers adopted a resolu
tion declaring that hereafter they will use no
crude sulphur. The refined article costs a
little more- per pound, but It Is the cheapest
In the end.
"Vers! often irwa a grower Is finishing tne
work of baling his hops, be will 'clean up
around the baler, and dump the refuse mat
ter Into the baler. Tne last bale win therefore
contain not only hops and hop dust, but often
straw and even stable manure, chips, etc
There won't be much of the foul matter, per
haps, but when n brewer opens a bale and
finds that kind of stuff In It, he Is disgusted
and the whole lot of bops depreciates In his
estimation. Precautions should be taken to let
nothing but clean hops go Into a bale, for
every bale that contains refuse will hurt the
reputation of Oregon hops.
"I find that Oregon bops have been gaining
In reputation over New Tone hops because
they are picked cleaner. Growers hould re
member this, and see that as much :is possible
of the leaves and stems are ept oat.
"I cannot say much about the market for
the present crop, My advice to growers, bow.
ever, would be not to selltbeir hops until
samples have reached England, so that the
I English buyers can make an offer for them.
I think the consignment of 6000 bales of Ore-
gon hops to England was poor policy, for as
soon cs the hop trade learned the pool had
been consigned, buyers were Inactive. They
were afraid to buy when there was a probabil
ity of C0O0 bale of American bops being
dumped upon the market.
. I

"But the main problem for the
to raise good hops. The Oregon
steadily growing in favor, and by picking
clean, properly curing and keeping free from
refuse In baling, the quality will be maintained
and Improved. The English buyers like hops
with a bright jJlow color, but do not object
to a slight tinge of red. The bops should not
be too green."
Picking Begins Monday.
INDEPENDENCE. Or.. Aug. 2S. (Special.)
A meeting of the growers here was held
yesterday afternoon and it was agreed to pay
50 cents per box for picking hops. Nearly all
the runs will begin picking Monday. The
growers state there Is but little mold discern-
able, but they with to get the hops leathered as
soon as possible, as the conditions In the
yards are such that If a few day of foggy
weather or a small rain should come, the
mold would appear very rapidly. There ap
pears to be a shortage of pickers and efforts
are being made to secure outside help as soon
as possible. Most of the yards will begin at
least a week earlier than the' notified their
outside help. II. Hill has commenced In his
yards with a small crew and he Is depending
on town help at the present time. Walker
Bros,, Webs, Coopers, Fitchard & Burton,
and a number of others will begin Monday
or Tuesday at the latest. The weather has
cleared up and the growers state that they
have favorable conditions confronting them
now. and think they will be able to save al
most the whole crop.
POOL OP OATS SOLD.
Waldo Hill'K Association Gets 301-2
and 311-2 for Product.
SALEM. Aug. 2S. (Special.) W. W. Hunt,
of Sublimity, reports that the Waldo Hill's
Grain Association last night sold its pool of
oats, consisting of 27,000 sacks, to G. A. West-
gate, of Albany. The price received was 30J4
cents for Spring oats and 31 Vic for Fall oats.
This price was for a 32-pound bushel. The
wheat was not holi.
Sheep Shipped Front Salem.
SALEiL Or.. Aug. 2S. (Special.) IL C
Downing today shipped to Portland two car
loads of sheep, about one-third of the lot be
ing stock sheep. The price received was $2
to $2.10 per hundred. About four carloads of
sheep a week are shipped from Sslem.
PORTLAND MARKETS.
Grain. Flour, Feed, Etc.
The tone of the wheat market tras a little
less strong yesterday, but prices were not
quoted any lower. Exporters are out of the
market and will .not take hold until they can
buy oa a shipping basis. This is 76 cents.
Portland, for club, yet sales have been made
around that figure In the interior to millers.
There is a lot of wheat In the country to be
exported unground and as the Liverpool prices
are not going to advance In order to meet the
views of Pacific Coast producers, it is evident
that values roust get to a parity before ex
port buying will set in. In the meantime.
shippers here are resting on their oars wait-
lng for farmers prices to drop, and farmers,
stimulated by otters by the milling Interests.
are lwldlng for the prevailing rales or even
better. The only district where offerings are
at all liberal are In this valley. As for the
future of the wheat market, opinions are
naturally far apart, the trade believing present-
prices entirely too high and growers con
sidering wheat ob good property and likely to
go higher.

ANOTHER UPWARD TURN
STOGICDBALIXGS SHALL, BUT AT A.
GESEn.lL ADVANCE.
Growing' ConSUeflce In the Money
Market Oatloet Tarkisk News
la Ignored.
XElV YORK Aug. 23. The stock market
had Its upward turn again today. The vol
ume of dealings was clearly larger than In
yesterday's almost stagnant market and the
fluctuations were rather wider, but the market
retained Its highly professional character and
give little evidence of any Interest originating
outside the boardroom.
The principal reason for the movement of
the market seemed still to be that It was a
reversal, of that of the previous day. Thus
the morning news that the squadron of Ameri
can warships had been ordered to proceed to
Beirut, prepared to exact reparation for the
murder of our Vice- Consul, did not create so
much as a ripple In the stock market, al
though the report of an appeal for protec
tion for American missionaries in Syria prom
ised an additional complication. There is an
undisguised confidence In the 'financial dls-
trlct. however, that this Incident is capable
of adjustment by diplomatic means. The dbv
cusslon upon measures for repression of trusts,
precipitated before the session of the Ameri
can Bar Association, might have caused great
trepidation In Wall street In some of 1W recent
moods, but that and the Western flood sews
were equally ignored with the Turkish Inci
dent. There, is a growing confldenco In the money
market outlook which was fostered by several
of the day's developments, and this was prob
ably the principal factor In advancing prices
of stocks. The reports from Washington that
the Secretary of the Treasury had accumu
lated some $40,000,000 of internal revenue pay-(
meats, which would be available for deposit
In National banks, was a greatly reassuring
factor as the possible means of relief for tha
money market by tho Treasury Department
has been a matter of considerable doubt and
conjecture. As" it Is, the question remains of
an adequate supply of Government bonds by
the banks as security to obtain these deposits
or the future acceptance by the Secretary of
the Treasury of municipal and state bonds
la resumption of last year's policy, which has
been considered of doubtful expediency. The
Incidental explanation that the $10,000,000 ac
cumulation was a contingent provision for
Panama Canal payments was received as an
official confirmation of the unlikeliness of the
payments for this year.
The special strength of the Pacifies, led by
Union Pacific, was attributed to the obstacles
thus Indicated for the Panama project.
The principal movements cf currency for the
week show that the movement is still In favor
of this center as against the Interior, the In
dicated gain of that account being over $2,
000.000. In the last week of August last year.
the loss to the Interior was as much as that
and of tho year before was about $3,500,000.
While this delay In the Interior -demand for
currency Is In force, the banks themselves are
showing signs of weakness with the policy of
keeping their resources in call loan at a rate
btlow that which they are paying to trust com
panies and Interior banks for their deposits.
The result was shown today in somewhat
fewer offerings of fends for time loans and an
appreciably easier tono In that market. Mer
cantile paper was also In somewhat improved
demand.
Prices of active stocks advanced pretty gen
erally between 1 and 2 points and consider
ably larger gains were shown by some of the
specialties without explanation. The strength.
of Amalgamated was In sympathy with copper
securities generally at other points and an
improved sentiment In the trade for that metal.
The market closed heavy and somewhat below
the best.
The bond market was dull and Irregular.
Total sales, par value. $2.2e3,000. United
States 2s advanced t& per cent and the old 4s
U Pr cent. The new 4s. reg., declined hi per
