THE MORNING OREGONIAN, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 27, 1904.
Its
HOP MARKET QUIET
But Holders Are Firm and
Prices Are Unchanged.
NEW FIGURES ON STATE YIELD
Foreign Buyers Still Keep Out of
This Market-Hops in California
-Decline in Refined
Sugar
The hop market ls quiet but firm, 'with
nothing under 27 cents considered for choice
goods. Trading In the past week has been
almost entirely between dealers. The few
growers who have heps on their hands are
not willing to sell, or else are asking above
the market. A few orders' have come In from
brewers, but practically no business Is being
done for English account. The fact that
there Is a pauie In trading and no further
aJvanace has caused some of the hop men
to lxk upon the future with suspicion. At
the moment the market appears strong enough,
but things would look better if orders were
more numerous. Among the purchases made
by Portland dealers In the week were three
lots, aggregating 450 bales, taken by Phil
Nets at 25 to 26 cents and 174 biles
bought by J. M. Russell & Co. at 25 cents.
Perhaps the most Interesting feature of the
week was the discovery that the 1903 crop
of this state has been underestimated. Early
figures ranged between 80,000 and 85,000
bales as the output of Oregon, but It Is now
known that 90,000 bales would come nearer
the mark. Shipments from this state have
already reached a total of 75,000. bales, and
the quantity remaining in Portland ware
houses and at points up the Valley will
bring the aggregate close to the revised fig
ures. Taking Into consideration the increased
acreage put out In the last two years, it
begins to look like a 100,000-bale crop In the
"coming season.
Firm markets continue to be reported in
Germany and England. The Kentish Ob
server of January 7 said of hops:
The trade during the last week In the old
year was unprecedently active and values ad
vanced by from 10s to 15s per cwt. It is
now realized that growers by their ovcr
nmlety to press for quick sales caused a de
pression In prices which would not have been
trought about had they combined to hold
out for higher rates. On the other hand,
many brewers, believing that prices would
ruJe lower, have refused to buy except for
immediate requirements, with the result that
they will now have to pay dearly for de
laying their purchases. Old odds are still
in demand at higher prices. Continental buy
ers are still purchasing English hops at the
advanced quotations, and Pacific Coast pops
are dearer and look like going higher. Eng
lish hops continue to be relatively the best
value In the world's markets. The demand
continues to be strongest for the lowest priced
hops, which are, in fact, the dearest on the
market.

California. Hop Market.
SAN" FRANCISCO, Jan. 2C (Special.)
Business in hops Is now chiefly from second
hands, as only insignificant stocks are left
among growers. The local markot rules very
firm at 27 to 30 cents, according to grade
and district. In Sonoma County many con
tracts have been made for the coming crop
of hops at 15 to 18 cents, and growers are
now stiff in their views. A large new acre
age has been planted and several new yards
will bear their first crop this season.
Twenty-Cent Hop Contract.
CHEH.ALIS. Jan. 26. (Special.) The high
est price at which hops have ever been con
tracted in advance at Chehalls was reached
yesterday, when J. C Bush closed a deal
with I. Pincus & Sons, of Tacoma, for six
tons of his 1904 yield at 20 cents per pound.
About 45 tons were contracted here last week
for the Chlmanns at 18 cents.

ARMOUR AGAIN SELLING
CAUSES ANOTHER SLUMP. IN
WHEAT AT CHICAGO.
Later in the Session on Buying by
the Long, the Market Rallies
and Closes Higher.
CHICAGO. Jan, 26. The action of the wheat
market today was more or less of a riddle,
which Gw traders professed to be able to
solves. One thing seemed certain, however,
the key to the situation was held by Armour,
the leaer of the longs, whoso enormous sell
ing yesterday resulted In a break of over
3 cents in May, while today's selling move
ment, originating from the same source, car
ried the price over 2 cents farther away
from the dollar mark. The action of this
one powerful trader was the only factor in
the pit. all general news being ignored.
At the start the Armour interest" was an
open buyer. For the first hour, while the
demand from the leader of the bull crowd
continued, prices were firm. May opened
c lower to Uc higher, at S9tfc to 8954c
A slight advance was made shortly after
the opening, the price rising to S9OS0c
No sooner had the buying from this source
ceased, however, than the crowd appeared
to have wheat for sale. In unmeasured quan
tities. A large part of these offerings were
supposed to be for the account of Armours.
Tho pit was void of buyers. In consequence
May dropped 2&02Kc In 10 minutes of trad
ing, going down to STVic before any support
was offered.
For the remainder of the session it was
believed the Armour interest was an active
buyer. The market responded readily to the
demand. The rally was almost as rapid as
the previous decline. Purchases of 3,000.000
bushels not only caused a recovery of all of
the loss, but May late In the day sold up
to 90H& The close was firm at S9O90c
a gain of He over yesterday's final figures.
The July delivery did not experience as sharp
a decline. The close showed a gain of UO
?4c at 81c
The early corn market was easier in sym
pathy with lower cables and favorable
weather conditions for the drying of the
grain. Closing prices were at the top. with
May at 49Sc
Buying credited to the leading long had
a tendency to create a firm tone In oats,
although there was a disposition to sell early
In sympathy with the weakness In wheat.
May closed at 42&c
There was a large trade in provisions and
prices fluctuated nervously. After several
advances and declines the market closed bare
ly steady, with pork 7c lower, lard up
2Kc while ribs were a shade lower.

SAN FRANCISCO MARKETS.
Oregon Potatoes and Onions Are Firm in
the California Metropolis.
SAN FRANCISCO. Jan; 28. (Special.)
There is a very firm market for potatoes
and onions, receipts being moderate A few
prominent concerns who are bullish in their
operations, are In full control of the local
situation. The supplies brought by the Ore
gon were not available for trading today,
as the steamer had to go to the seawall
first to discharge grain. If the Oregon stock
is of good quality it will bring full prices
when offered tomorrow. Fancy Oregon Bur
banks are quoted firm at $1.40 to $1.46, and
best Oregon onions "are equally strong, at
$1.60.

on today's steamer were lighter than ex
pected, as the sellers advanced their rates.

ceipts. Arrivals of cheese are" lessening, but
the market Is still demoralised, with no
settled prices. Fancy butter advanced sharp
ly, offerings being light. Receipts. 38.000

doxen eggs.

TRAVELING BY WEIGHT.
Radical Changes Which the Colorado
Innovation May Bring About.
Chicago Inter Ocean.
The officers of the Pueblo Sc. Beulah Val
ley Railway in Colorado, an electric lino
17 miles in length, have decided to adopt
A passenger tariff system, whereby persons
desiring to be carried over the road must
pay according to their weight instead oC
by tho mile, as usual in this country.
Passengers, a dispatch says, will be re
quired to step upon scales at the ticket
office, and will be charged at the rata of
1 cents a pound for the round trip be
tween Pueblo and Buelah, and for shorter
trips proportionately. This system is said
to have been adopted with success on some
European lines.
The Colorado line is one of small Im
portance", of course, being a purely local
affair, but If the new tariff principle
proves successful In this Instance it may
be applied to the handling of passenger
traffic on the trunk llnea
In that event, and in cases where per
sons are. planning to take long journeys,
they will, of course, go into training in
advance with the purpose of reducing
their weight to the minimum. The father
of a large family will be enabled to make
quite a considerable saving on a thousand
mile trip to bo taken by his loved ones If
he reduces them to a milk and water diet
for a month or two before entering upon
the journey. Anti-fat remedies will, of
course, under such circumstances, become
more popular than ever, for lean people
will be able to travel much more cheaply
than those who .are troubled with a tend
ency of embonpoint.
As a natural result of the innovation,
should It be generally adopted by our com
mon carriers, people who are about to be
weighed will, of course, remove all metal
articles, either in the way of knives, keys
or coin from the pockets, and divest them
selves of all surplus clothing. They will
also purchase their tickets before rather
than after meals, and shrewd and expe
rienced travelers will drink charged min
eral water so that they may be light and
effervescent when they step upon the
scales.
All necessary details of this Improved
tariff arrangement doubtless will be at
tended to, including a preferential round
trip rate for persons who visit the health
resorts in an emaciated condition and re
turn with their hlood full of iron and
their hearts full of joy.

STOCK MARKET WAITING
LOOKING FOR FRESH, MOVE BY
j SPECULATIVE LEADER.
Railway Returns for Third Week in
January Are Mixed-Decrease
in Loans.
NEW YORK. Jan. 26. Today's stock mar
ket had to absorb a considerable volume of
profit-taking again, especially during the
early part of the day. This It did to a very
great extent, but there was no eagerness
shown to follow the advance, and the mar
ket relapsed Into dullness. The market
seemed to .be waiting for a fresh move by
the speculative party which . assumed tho
leadership of the rise, as the outside public
remains conspicuous by Its absence War
Tiewa played a part In the restriction of
the day's business, but the sales tor long '
account from this cause were of moderate
volume.
Returns of railroad gross earnings for the
third week in January now coming to hand
are of mixed complexion, but the average
ratio of Increase over last year's correspond
ing period is fairly well maintained. The
decrease In net earnings of 106 roads report
ing for November, which Is the first average
decrease shown during the calendar year, is
accounted for by declines in coalers, and
trunk line earnings, the former owing to
comparison with the favorable period fol
lowing the strike settlement last year. While
the Southwestern group Increased the net
return for November some 5.SS per cent. The
Financial Chronicle also notes a progressive
decline In the ratio of increase of gross
earnings over last year, which was in July
18.23 per cent; August. 14.99 per cent; Sep
tember, 12.31 per cent; October. 8.89 per
cent, and for November, 4.10 per cent.
Weekly gross earnings for December and
January thus far reporting indicate some
Improvement again In the ratio of Increase
over last year.
A compilation of the returns of the New
York City trust companies to the State Con
troller discloses that the loans of these in
stitutions on December 31 had decreased no
less than 5115.579.439. compared with their
loans on June 30 preceding. The mystery of
the almost stationary condition of the loan
item of the New York Clearing House Banks
through the six months' period of drastic
liquidation in the securities market is thus
amply explained.
The late rise In the market under the lead
ership of Pennsylvania made the closing Arm.
Bonds were less active and steadied after
some irregularity. Total sales, par value,
$3,650,000. United States bonds were un
changed on call.
