-THE M0BNING OREGONIAN, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, a"903. HOP MARKET OPENS Dealers Qffer 23 to 24 Cents for Choice PROSPECTS GOOD FOR GROWERS ' ' Crop Larger Than Anticipated Pro ducer Generally Holding; for Better Prices Local Job bing Quotations. S It Is unusual for hops to command high prices In two successive years. Hops were worth 25 cents Jast year, and they will do as "well this season. Judging from the' opening prices an nounced yesterday. In recent years the hop market has opened as follows: inn- Cents. i5k ....i 23 &li iSS :::::::::::::::::::: gp8 888 :::::::::::;::::::::::::iu The hop market opened yesterday at the test Initial figures In many years. 2324 conts lor choice. So far as can be seen, the outlook Is bright for the grower. Picking was practically completed Ja this State last night and 'baling 'operations will be general this week, Until baling has been completed, it will be impossible to give close figures on the yield, but growers say the crop Is turning out larger than expected, as the boxes are heavier than anyone thought they tvould be. Many growers will raise as mny bops or more than last year. The quality :s exceedingly varied, running from very poor to choice, with a sprinkling of mold In nearly all. Not much trading has been done yet, as the farmers are not disposed to sell under 23 cents. A few sales that have been made have been 60 and 75-bale lots around 22V4 cents. "Word has been received of a sale of iOOO bales of Bacramentos at 24 cents. Regarding the rtcent storm In the hop-grov-lng district of England cable advices say: "We estimate our crop 400,000 cwt. Crop is Injured by wind and promises very differ ent qualities. Many of low quality. The price Bf 1903 hops is 50s to 140s." Mall advices from Germany estimate the German crop proper at only- 80 to 85 per cent f last year, and on this -basis it is figured that the total production of the Continent will be closo to 20QWOO cwt. short of last year. Berman markets continue to be quoted "firm tad higher. The "VVaterville Times, of the 15th. said of te Kew York crop: The hop harvest Is now completed, and the reneral report is ti less yield than was ex pected before picking. Some yards have come down but little better than last year, 'and the crop was very light then. As to quality, there will be. as always, a great diversity. There will be choice hops, .and from that to very poor. Thus far there ha6 been very little business! as It Is hard to tell the quality of hops until they are baled, and very few have been baled' yet. Growers, too. are very Arm in their de mands, and that seems to restrict business. It la also said that brewers are holding off. The majority of opinion seems to be that the yield for this state will be less " than 50.000 bales, and some hava put It as low as 35.000, but that is an extreme view. Probably 45,000 would be nearer right. Two lots of Humphreys wero told this week at 23c and 2Cc. WALXL'T FUTURES. Prices Announced by tlie California. AxNociation. Prices, have been named by the association at 'Los Angeles as follows: No. 1 soft sheli, 124c; No. 2 soft shell. lOc; No. 1 hard shell'. 12c; No. 2 hard shell. 10c. The crop Is way short of early estimates and orders have been booked for a possible full crop. All orders booked are subject to pro rata delivery In caso of short crop. It Is not known at this time on what basis the deliveries will be made, as buyers consider the prices high and are con firming orders slowly. In the Portland trade an agreement has been reached between grocers and produce men to maintain the same prices. Heretofore the Grocers' Association has had one list, the produce dealers another. The result has been confusion and dissatisfaction generally. The prices as announced, range from 14 to 15; cents, according to quantity. It will be two or three weeks before California walnuts begin to arrive. A car of French walnuts Is en route from New York. Handling; Merced Sweety The Vegetable Union, of Los Angeles, has rone lno the Merced-Atwater sweet potato iiuslness. It announces to the trade its Invasion In the following circular: "We have arranged to handle a large portion of the crop and have our experienced agents lo cated In the fields. Thece sweet potatoes are now In good shipping condition, and wc can fur .nlsh carlots on short notice. We can ship either In crates or sacks, but strongly recom mend thB use of crates, which Insures best'eon dltlon on arrival. Sweets shipped In sacks atv inore or less bruised in handling, which is not the case wh?n shipped In crates. There will be fcn extra charge of 25c per 100 pounds to cover cost of crates. The minimum weight per car load at present is 30.000 pounds, but we are promised a 24.000-pounds minimum In a few days. This reduction will be a great ad vantage to the trade." Offer for Hops Refused. INDEPENDENCE. Or.. Sept. 21.-(SpecIal.) Twenty-two cents was offered here for hops last -week, and was refused. The growers have private reports that Indicate a good price, and expect from 25c to 30c to be the ruling figure. Practically all the .yards have been picked. The biggest yards In the county. Horst Bros.' and McLaughlin's, have nearly a week's run yet. k Lambs Shipped to San Francisco. EUGENE. Or.. Sept. 21.-(Speclal.)-John Stewart and A J. Pickard yesterday shipped a upocial train of 2500 lambs to the San -Francisco market. This Is the first important ship ment of stock from this station for a year. Prices arc not given. If satisfactory returns aro realised, another shipment will follow. Albany Sbeep for Portland. ALBANY. Or.. Sept, 21. (Spcclal.)-One car load of mutton sheep was shipped from Albany to the Union stockyards In Portland today. PORTLAND MARKETS. Grain, Flour, Feed, Etc. Wheat is weaker all around. Very little business Is reported as the farmers are back ward about selling on a falling market. Prices are practically down to an export basis, and as soon as growers will consent" to let go, a heavy movement should begin and some char tering of ships may then be expected. ...WHEAT Walla Walla, 74c; bluestem. 78c Valley, 78c.

Statistics of Railway Traffic Show Large Increase in Movement of Corn The Money Market. NEW YORK. Sept, 21. There "t?as a period of depression in the stock market today, but the market recovered later In the day and wiped out motst of the declines. The covering of shorts by the bears was the principal ele ment In the rally, but the bears were prompted to this course by the lessened anxiety mani- rested by the real owners of stocks. The principal factor In the relief of sent! ment was the news from the crop reclon and its effect upon the'graln market. The weather map was reported an ideal one for all classes of crops. In .addition to this present condl tlon, the weekly statistics of railroad, traffic showed a large Increase In the movement of corn, especially in the shipment of the grain rrom primary points which showed an In crease of 1.893,000 tmshels over the week be fore, and of 2.828.000 over the movement of the corresponding week last year. It was argued that If the farmers were willing to part so .freely with their holdings of corn, it .served to discredit last week's reports of ev- cesalve frost damage to the cereal. The course of United States Steel was watch ed with great Interest, and its decline to a shade below .the lowest record, which was reached lost week, encouraged traders to sell the rest of the list- The assertion was circu lated that the leading banking Interest In the Steel corporation had expressed tho opinion that there was no occasion for a supporting measure in the stock market. Other stocks in which this Interest Is dominant were affected. notably the coalers. . It was evident, however. that support was afforded United States Steel, The fact that a number .of the Iron and steel Industries commanded a premium In the loan department this morning served as a warning to the bears that they might be overselling tho market and prompted them to cover. While the disposition to sell stocks was thus curbed In the course of the day, no important demand was awakened and the market showed in creasing dullness in the course of the rally. The financial district continued in a state uncertainty and apprehension over the pos sible extension of the reaction to the com merclal world at large. Allegations have been made that the demand for mercantile credits Is showing great urgency and that high rates are paid for these credits. Inquiry among bankers In the Wall-street district failed to bear out this assertion. Prime grades of paper negotiated through customary channel bring 6 to 0 per cent. For names less known and for applications from other than their regular sources, banks are Inclined to ask higher rates or are indisposed to lend at all. ThlB is In accordance with the knowledge that the wnoie DanKing iaDnc or tne country nas oeen .devoting Iteelf for some months past to preparations to supply the regular legitimate commercial demands for credits. The returns received from day to day by the Controller of the Currency of the condition of the Na tlonal banks at interior cities show a general improvement in percentage of reserve over that for the corresponding period of last year and encourage the growing hope that the regu lar course of business will not be disturbed by lack of funds this Autumn. The market closed dull and firm. Bonds were Irregular. Total sales, par value. $2,182,000. United States 3s advanced per cent, the old 4s registered per cent, old coupons 1U per cent, and the 6s 51 per cent on the. last call. s? o STOCKS.
