THIS MORNING, OREGONIAS, TVEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 22,. lK)o. 15 BEAN 8T0GKS LIGHT Prices Are Strong in All Directions. DEMAND EXCEEDS SUPPLY tst Yczr's Crop Was Small the Wcrld Over Coast Firmness Is Aided by HeavyShipments to the East. The be) market of the Pacific Cas. have a dtK-idedly firm time. The Bast has been d'awlng hoavtty on California, and Mocks in that state have become very light, while prices at all points have advanced. The 19o4 crop la York. II lchlRn and California was a riort on and Importations from Europe were t mnaraliveiy small. It is figured that on the lf-t Inst, stocks of foreign benne In thin coun try dd not amount to I over a dozen ears, nhrcae on the ramc date in 1004 somowhere In the noighborhood of 4UU carts were on hand. To add to this bullish Information thorc arc TsHvy orders for Xcw York whites for ship ment to Cuba and the West Indies. England snd the Continent have already placed orders t x something like 25 cars, and' before many months tho foreign demand will bo a factor in governing the price of New York, Michigan and California beans. The been crop of 1304 throughout all Eu rope was practically a failure. Ls than -000 l-ushels of white beans have been Imported Into t.ie t'nlied States from Europe from crop of 11104, and there is no probability of imports. t hi from Europe simply becauso they have ijai th" goods. The lowest price at which any nlute beans have been offered from Europe smo Auguat last is $2.34. dut paid. Imports Into the United Slat rrom Europe of 1805 c-fp were not lcs than 185.0SO eacks. equiv alent to 500.000 bushel?.

Kicbs Bros., fc .growers anil dealerr, today Itaeued the iol io.ving circular letter to growcra; W e haVc bf informed that some buyers Lakw said. "Krebs Bros, are doing their ut t jixX 10 unload at any price, and at the name Hint they ull sou to hold your hoiH-." Some t jv.crs might pOFeiblr he Induced to believe tU'-h falsehoods, consequently, vre hae con cluded to inform you personally that wo have not ottered a bale for &tlt during the paot two momtie. and we do not expect to sell hops until May or June, unless the market advance? besond 33 oeitte. Wc have glve,you accurate statistics, whloh show a shortage of 40.000 bales, and we dofy the bears successfully to contradict any of our statements. When you chow a bear conclusively that the situation arrant s 50 conts. then ho nays the- market will go up later. I. c, when all the weak hoM ers have sold, the consumer- arc obliged to pay tho price the growers are asking. AVe feel confident that the weak holders arc nearly all sold out. You know what results you ob tain when you force! Arty of your farm, products on the market while there is no demand. No prudent businc&8 jna offers, to Mil when the market l inactive and! Ufelesc. However, the tale of one, two or throe lots, whloh are forced on the market, does not tatabllsh the value of the produoL It simply means that-some grow ers have sacrificed, thejr liops. Supply and demand regulates tho price. Just think of eeven of tho beat brewing months be fore tho now crop Is ready for the market. The. Vnited States requires,' for the manufac ture of beer and other purposes, 18.000 bale per month. All the unsold hops on the Pacific Coast cannot supply tho requirements for two months. However, it does not matter where the hops arc, because there la a deficit which will thow up sooner or later. Tho shortage Is as great as It was when the 1904 crop was harvested la other words, no new hops have been raited. Wo do not change our opinion on account or an occasional saio by growers, who do not understand tho situation, or are la the clutches of money-lenders, at ridiculous prices. Wc have not forgotten the experience of 1903. -when many growers sold at 10c to 15c less than they could have secured had they held their hops. In November, 1903, we purchased Jot at 16c, and held the same until June. 1904. when we sold them at 20c The situation Is SO per cent stronger this year, so wo will fnd no difficulty In Kscuring enormous prices Xhis Spring and Summer. It has been stated that England has more hops than originally reported. That is false. The government report was complete when pub lished by the London Times. That showed a Oflrlency of over 400.000 hundredweight. England needs at present an additional 200,000 hundredweights to make up their average an nual consumption, which is 655,000 hundred weigh ta. You have received letters from eomo Tortland buyers retiueotlng you not to consign jour hops, but to como to Portland when you want to sell. Nobody has tought consignments Tho bears in Portland are giving you a little I cnei, no they can devour you When you fall -to their clutches. Don't go to Portland and let tbo bears devour you. Como to Salem when you are ready to sell. Salem la -not only the best market of Oregon, but -of the United Stales. "VVo growers can eeoure 50c per pound when the real shortage Is appreciated by the brewers. We have the hops and the brewers inurt pay our price. Yours truly. KPJEBS BBOH. Regarding a statement printed in Portland bar. 10.000 bales of American hops wore rc 5c vied in London. Conrad ICrebs said tonight: The statement is absolutely false. 1 am wJIing to bet $ 10.000 that not 5000 bales, have been shipped back; no, .that not 2000 llcs hove been rejected by London, and the money I in Ladd & Bush's bank, at Salem, for tho r jrpose. The- fact is that 150 bales of Oregon 1 nps were rejected and sent back to thin country. They were of a quality that could n. used in England but could be u$od in America." PORTLAND MAKKJ5TS.

Large General Demand for Stocks Union Pacific Is Carried to Record-Price Level. NEW YORK. Feb. 21. The operations In to day's stock market were of a character to en courage the hope, ldng deferred, of an active entrj' into the market of the public at large. Tae principal share In the market hitherto has been attributed to profeMlonal operators. The success which has attended these operations is, of course. baed on a general confidence In the prosperity of general conditions and a con fident Investment fiemaml, which buttresses the market by a -waiting demand on e.11 re cessions. The demand for stocks from the public at large has been entirely Inconspicu ous, but evidence wero unmistakable today that the public was coming freely lato the market. The tide of tho buying demand had all of the Impressive sweep of periods of wide spread speculation, and the movements were cfiaractertstlcaUy lacking in special noaw to explain them. The only news that seemed to be regarded -was aa ad ranee in pr!c. Wher ever this occurred It wan sure to b followed quickly by a surprising demand, which churned Hp the particular atock affected into violent actlvlis- and buoyancy. All news was favorably Intercepted, or If that was not feas ible, was ignored. Union Pacific was the ecnsalloh f the mar ket, and was carried irresistibly to a record lrice level. The previous record of $1.33 was touched In May. 1901. during the period of busing of the stock In retaliation for the cam-" palgn by Us owners for control of Northern Pacific. Information from well-informed sources precluded the Idea that anything like a corner In the stock was threatened. Equally well Informed authorities drprecated the talk that any plan wn in profcrees leek in r to a 'change in the status of the compans'. Rnnk- mg interests near to the company were author ity for the opinion that the movement was purely due to speculation In the Ktoek. An even more violent price movement was that in StoK-ShefficM Steel, which was jumpM up over 20 points. Rumors were pi"ty of coming merger of Southern Iron companies. Storm blockades and holding of cotton are forcing down the earning of railroad in the the South rt, but that group was conspicu ous for. strength In the day's movement. Tho reported abandonment of rale 1-ghrWton for this session of Congress, the hope that the Nw Haven labor trouble ic to b arbitrated, arid the hellf that the war of ra'rs on export grain will r b terminated wre minor In -fiuence.1 In keeping up the demand. liut the othor overriding factor was the growth and .spread of speeulative excitement, which brings increasing crowds of buyers Into the market. Buyiag or this character, without a reason why. swept pricu irresistibly to a higher level. That advantage was taken of the" ad vent of public busing to secure proAu on an. fnormow scale was evident from the occa sional unsetuement of the market. The clos ing iUerr.was irregular. Hemic wwe steady, but were not so active as ntoeks. Total sak. $5,098,000. UhHoc Mates bind. unchanged en call. STOCK QUOTATIONS. Closing Sales. High. bU.

Trading waa confined largely to the July de livery, although some shorts covered May on all slight declines. The demand for July at time was of such a character as to suggest that tho market was receiving support from a prominent bull trader. As the scs-don ad vanced, wheat became more bullish. Little Improvement, however, was noted In tho volume of business. Marked falling off In primary recelptt had a atrengthcnlnj? Influence during the last part of tho day.

W. Williams, a dentist of Manitoba, Canada, who has for several years been practicing In Tahiti. Accord-in-f to the story. Dr. Williams and his brlde.--a Mrs. Brackman. a fair American widow, fell so far under the "dolce far niento" influoncc of the Southern Pacific isleo that tuey chose for the scene of their honeymoon the lovely but lonely coral atoll of Tctuarora, 50 miles north of Ta hiti, "whither they went Immediately after their wedding; in Papeete, and -there, un der the bamboo and palms of the dreamy Island, which was formerly the pleasure resort of the savage kings of bygone days, are spending their honeymoon with no neighbors but the handful of natives who sail their small sloop and attend to their daily wants. The atoll is said to be a small fairyland, where leafy palms, gar dlnla and other tropical vegetation grow In profusion. Here the newly-wedded cou ple will spend the early days of their married life in a bungalow built by na tive workmen-, out of native materials, far from the' cares of civilization and tho "madding crowdr3 Ignoble strife."
