THE MOBKItfG OBEGONIAN, FKIDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 1904. BREWERS HOiO OFF Hop Market Is Quiet, But by No Means Weak. MOST GROWERS CONFIDENT Real Reason .for the Sale of the Moxee Crop and the Effect It Has Produced In the East. The statement repeatedly made by liop bears these days that the market Is "weak. Is sot juetlfled by actual conditions. The market Is not weak, though it is very quiet. So tar as the undertone is concerned, it may truth fully be said that hops are as firm as at any time this season. However, It mst be ac knowledged that appearances are 'somewhat against the market, and should the deadlock continue much longer, the situation might become critical. As during other lulls In the trade, the key of the whole matter Is In the hands of growers and other holders. Should they become weak-kneed and let go In a bunch. there would be but one result, a slump In prices. If they hold their nerve and stand firm. It Is difficult to believe they will not win In the end. Men who have made the hop market their life study have Invested heavily In this year's crop, and these keen speculators are Seeling no uneasiness. The faith of these men and the fact that brewers stand ready to buy close under the prevailing prices is having effect in keeping up the views of the great body of holders. The waiting policy on the part of Eastern consumers naa been influenced largely, no doubt, by some neavy sales made recently in this section, particularly the disposal of the Moxee hops, raised In the Taklma Valley, The real reason for this- sale is not under stood in the Eaet, and the price, said to be 28k cents, gave a false idea of the position of "Western growers. The sale of the lot. 1100 bales, according to a .well-posted an thorlty, was brought about by the fact that San Xiesh, manager of the company, had personal interest In the crop in addition to the salary he got. Ho is to go out on De cember L and he wanted to clean up. Natu rally he felt that he could better afford to accept present prices rather than wait upon a new manager's whim. The reason for Lesh's sell-out is generally understood by "Washington hopmen, and is not likely to have much effect on growers in that state. but it has evidently caused an impression to spread In the East that there Is a feeling of weakness on this Coast, which la not a fact. The Moxee hops were bought by Herman jUaber and Isaac Plncus & Son, of Tacoma, and, according to a report current yesterday. they rejected the entire lot as not up to "the requisite quality. The few local dealers who have orders are trying their best to fill them with hops se cured from other dealers, as they find It nearly Impossible to Interest farmers. The only transaction reported yesterday. Involving hops from first hands, waa the purchase of the Knott lot of 91 bales, grown near Oregon City, which Julius "Wolf secured at 30 cents. The few transactions that took place between dealers were at 30V4 to 31V4 cents. . The cause of the absenct of foreign orders, which has been worrying some of the 'exporters for the last three- days, was explained In a cable received last night, saying: "Too foggy to examine samples." This was good news for the shippers, who had begun to fear that they had been abandoned, and they look for good orders within the next day or two. The cause of the dullness of the export market was thus satisfactorily explained, and the cable message went a long way to strengthen the situation. No change In the Eastern situation Is shown by the latest mail advices from New Tork, which say: No new developments were reported up the state. Offerings continued light, due to the small remaining stocks In growers hands, and they held for extreme prices. Locally, the market was firm but quiet at unchanged prices, The following shows the movement of hops at the port of New Tork: Keceipts. Exports. Imports.

STOCKS TURN STRONG AGGRESSIVE STRENGTH SHOWN BY MANY ACTIVE ISSUES. Amalgamated Copper the Feature of the Day Union Pacific Advances Over Two Points. NEW TORK. Nov. 17. Stocks had their ups and downs today, but the ups succeeded the downs, and so far outran tUem as to leave the day's changes decisively on the side of gains. The later tone of the market be came aggressively strong and the market broadentd out. The weakness was rather acute at the opening and forced prices lower even than the equivalent of the ruling prices In London. The recovery of the opening losses was pretty complete during the first hour. The market was only gradually awakened after that from Its waiting attitude, the re vival touching first one and then another stock, the general list hanging dull about last night's level. Amalgamated Copper was the feature of the day. This stock, considering the history of some of Its past movements, has advanced rather soberly In the recent market, measur ing its pace, apparently, by the continuous rise In the 'price of copper. Today's reports from the copper market pointed to the first reactionary tendency perceptible for many days, but this did. not discourage the buying of Amalgamated Copper In company with the buoyancy of copper shares all over the world. After rising through 80 the stock rose with added facility and seemed to uncover stop orders on the bear side. The close was feverish and Irregular, In spite of union pa cific's sustained rise of over 2 points. South ern Pacific. St. Paul, C. & O. and Norfolk & "Western were the most prominent stocks to get as much as a point over last night, but the recovery from the low point of the morn ing measured a considerable improvement. Heavy offerings of call money broke tne rata to below 2 per cent. The tone of the money market was called harder, however, and bankers expect higher rates. Foreign ex change moved upward again and sterling at Paris declined, raising the pressure on our cold supply. Weakness In the early bond market in sym pathy with the stock market gave that market an Irregular tone. Total sales. $11,000,000. United States bonds were unchanged on call.

Steel trade affairs are Just now attracting much Interest in the financial district, owing to the fact that all the important steel and Iron manufacturing concerns of the country have representatives here attending confer ences regarding new price schedules. A year ago this week, another Katherinj- 01 eicei men 01 mo urn tea states was neid In this city to consider the condition of the market and to readjust prices.
