The past week has been an Ideal one, so far as weather condi tions are concerned, for the coming hop crop. Growers are busy cleaning, plowing and fixing up their yards. The vines came up during the past week, and wonderful growths have re sulted. Nick Nlblcr reports a growth of 21 Inches In 24 hours on a vine which he marked and watched. A remarkable fact noticed by many growers Is that last year's missing hills are coming up. If all missing hills come, as It now seems evident they will, and all the other hills come, too, we may look for a record-breaking crop ylold in 1004. "When tho new bearing yards are taken Into account, we may count on 100.000 to 110,000 bales of hops In this state. PORTLAND MARKETS.

Roports dealing With anthracite and coke blast furnaces show, says the Iron Age, the production Is rapidly going back to the normal rate It reached 1,463,507 tons in March, as compared with 921,231 tons In January, and 846.GS3 tons In December, the low-record month. Important plants have been addtd to the active list since the opening of the month, with others to follow before May 1. The lion's shar of the Increased output is due to the great steel companies which in creased their production from 406,730 tons in December to 913.412 tons In March. In spite of an increase in the productions of the mer chant furnaces, the stocks of pig iron In their hands declined from 597.904 tons January 1 to 455,673 tons April 1. This is striking proof in the increase in the consumption in the past quarter, a rallying in the rate of home re quirements, which is all the more" surprising since It has not been accompanied by any notable increase in the exports. It is in the light of these developments that W6, pus- lnferpr the, fact. hat. .the United States. Steel Corporations have declined to ex ercise their ODtlon for the TmrxtifoiA nf jr iw tons of Bessemer pig. which has weakened the market somewhat. It is intimated also that the rate at which outside furnaces were blow ing in to make metal for the steel-producers was considered too rapid for the good of tho future industry. There Is little to report concerning the mar kets for finished Iron and steel. Railroad pur chases are slightly larger, but still remain far below normal. In the East the outlook for a large business in structural matter Is good, provided labor matters continue to Improve. From the Chicago district come rather discour aging reports in this branch. One factor in the situation is looming up. and that is the entry into the market of the large new plant at Buffalo. In the bar trade, employment is active, some of tho Implement makers of the Central West are negotiating for the second quarter's re quirements of merchant steel. Sheets are ir regular, while the pipe and wire trades con tinue to do a heavy business. Mining Sfockc SAN FRANCISCO.

The Im mense spot demand that developed in the local cotton market today played the gamo into the hands of the bulls after the bears -seemed fully assured, of being ablo to put prices still lower. Early in the afternoon rumors of im mense spot sales were spread about. Total spot sales were 17,500 bales. This equals tho entire amount of trading done during the whole of last week. Spot quotations were unchanged. The 'sensation of the day was found in the Immense spot transaction by W. P. Brown & Co. They bought 9000 bales of spot.. This was easily tho largest single spot transaction ever made on the cotton exchange. Tho amount of money Involved, In it was approx imately $750,000, as the cotton was tho high tjruue.

Some Selling for Paris Account on the Russian Naval' Disaster- feood Foreign Trade Returns. NEW YORK. April 14. Only small import ance can be attached to a, market of tho small volume of that of today. The dullness is at tributed in part to the departure from the street of many of the large operators whoso trading had been an Important element In the activity for some time past. The outcome of the effort of 'Union Pacific interests to intervene in tho Northern Secur ities suit for the purpose of preventing the pro rata distribution of Northern Securities arscts seems to have been pitched upon by the small remainder of active traders as the dominant feature la tho outlook. Early to day, while it was expected that a decision would be announced in St. Paul, there were come Irregular fluctuations in the market. After it became known that the decision bad been postponed, he trading lapsed Into pro found dullness. The few offerings of stock were sufficient, in the stagnation of demand, to carry prices gradually downward. London was not inclined to assume any de cided attitude in this market. The reduction in the Bank of England rate had been dis counted In that market, and the Russian naval disaster induced some selling for Paris ac count. The price of gold was marked down In London, together with the bank rate New York Is able to supply gold to help out the foreign markets. London financial opinion has viewed the heavy obligation of that market to Paris capital, which has persisted for several years, with growing dissatisfaction. The March, statement of our foreign trade in full somewhat modifies tho unfavorable im pression or the statement of exports, by an increase in the value of manufactured prod- , nets which offsets in part the large loss In the experts of domestic products. Tho value of Imports also has fallen, thus helping to ease tho excessive reduction in the balance of trade In our favor, which was threatened. Assertions and opinions from various sources of crop damage accompanied the desultory de cline in prices, which reached a point in some of the leading railroad stocks and Industrials. Amalgamated Copper and Anaconda were cold on doubts of an increase in the coming divi dend. The market closed easy and at about the lowest. The bond market turned heavy in sympathy with stocks. Total &ales, par value, $2,115,000. 1 United States 2s declined li per cent on call. CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS. Sales. HI eh. Law. Close.

Sncw In many sections of the Northwest increased apprehension among wheat traders regarding Spring 6eed Ing. A decreased decrease in acreage was con sidered possible. The opening was -somewhat Irregular, July being 0c lower to 0c higher at 87c to 87c Commission houses had large buying orders on the small receipts, both at Chicago and In tho Northwest, In view of the bullish character of -crop news, offerings were quite email, and. In consequence, the market became firm. There was good buying by the Southwest, and the market at Kansas City and St. Louis was strong. Crop damage reports were in abundance from all over the Winter-wheat country. A member of a Chi cago commission-house now examining condi tions In Kansas telegraphed that in some parts of the Southwest Winter wheat was hopelessly lost. With such news to encourage buying, prices steadily advanced. Later In tho day an estimated Increase in shipments from Argen tina caused sufficient selling to carry prices down about c from the high point. Never theless, the market showed no signs of weak ness, tho closo being firm, with July at S7 67c May ranged between 93094c and closed at 03c On account of small local receipts, the corn market had a strong start, and the initial firmness was well maintained throughout tho day. July opened 0c higher at 5050c and closed at 60c May closed at 63c Oats ruled firm on reports of delayed seed ing, and on small receipts. July closed at 37037c Moderate receipts of hogs, with steady prices at the yards, caused a firm, tone in. provisions early in the session. There was a fair de mand for all products, and offerings were light. The market closed steady, with July pork -unchanged, July lard up a shade, and ribs 2c lower.

PUTS AN END TO COMBINATION Schiff, Now In Germany, Discusses Effect of the Merger Decision. FRANKFORT-ON-THE-MAIN, April 14. Jacob Schlff, the New York banker and director, of the Northern Securities Com pany, who is now here, says In an Inter view In the Frankfurter Zcltung, that the recent heavy buying movement in Union Pacific Is as yet unexplained, but it can not be assumed that It Is due to the pur pose of a new group of capitalists to get control of the property.

Mr. Schlff doubts whether the North ern Securities decision will be followed by action of the courts against similar combinations. It will, however, he thinks, prevent the formation of further combina tions, which would certainly have been oranled if the decision had been favor able to the Northern Securities Company. This would have led to more stringent legislation by Congress and State Legisla tures, and hence, although he is a mem ber of the Northern Securities board, he thinks that the dissolution of tho North ern Securities Company will have a fa vorable effect .
