THE -M0R2JING J3BEG0NIAN, PEtD'AY,- 3IAECH 7 31, IS 1905. HOPS FOR ENGLAND Exporters Making Inquiries ' in Local Markets. SAMPLING IS UNDER WAY Juylng for Foreign Shipment Certain to Advance Prices Growers Now Hold the Key to the Situa tion In Their Hands. A number of inquiries are being made by hop exporters and muah sampling is going on: None, of these preliminaries have yet resulted in business, but It Is very likely that tome torejgfc trading will soon be done. This Is what the growers have been -waiting for. It has been conceded on all sides that as soon it the English consumers would commence baying on this aide, prices would stiffen. A considerable quantity of hops remain unsold in America, but certainly not'' enough to fill the requirements of 63th American and Eng lish brewers, even at this late date. The for eign stir is the result of the pool formed in England. Additional firmness in the Oregon market has been .caused by the removal of the Bell ing pressure, following the weeding out of tho weaker dealers. Practically all the hops left In the stale now are in the strongest 'I hands and can only be bought at prices aoove tnose lately prevailing. An elaborate contribution to the literature of the market has been made by M. H. Durst, a Wheatland, Cal., grower and dealer, who, in a seven-column article In a recent Issue of tho Sacramento Union, has pointed out the exact situation and explained how the bears have been enabled to force prices down below their true level In the face of the statistical position and In defiance of the law of sup ply and demand. Mr. Ducat concludes his ex cellent article In tho following words: In the face of all these facts, and they are all true to the best of my knowledge, how can any holder of Pacific Coast hops hesitate as to what Is the huslness-ltke method for him to pursue? There is no possible doubt that it will pay. and pay big, to hold every available bale of hops as long as possible up to the end of August, anyway unless the mar Acet advances so they can be sold out before at 32 to 35 cents per pound. If the growers now holding hops on this Coast would sit down as one man and say that not another pound of hops i should be sold under 40c per pound, and If they would back up their de mands by 'sitting tight," the -40 cents per pound would come as Eurely as the sun will rise over our two states each morning for the balance of our lives. I only wish such co-operation among holders of hops were possible. I don't say "let us hold for 40 cents per pound," because It seems so difficult to get growers to co-operate. But I do say It Is very short-sighted In holders of hops lo sell their hops under 30 to 35 cents. I hare said all along that hops will go to 85 cents, and I atlll feel euro they will; but not so long as dealers can wheedle one grower after another out of his holdings at an In adequate price, when one considers the pos slbtllties, What 'is ' to prevent growers and dealers holding hops from getting together and striv ing to arrive at some business-like and feas ible proposition for realizing the Intrinsic values for our 1004 hops? And then let us all work together honestly and unselfishly f7 to maxe xne proposition worn out to a sue 1 cessful issue. If we cannot do this we had as well go out ij, t r sl buslnes. after this next .crop, is, harvested. , ers -cannot co-operate to get reasonable prices J for their goods, there "will be .such prices In two or tnree yeans as wuj tnreaten uie in dustry of this Coast "with bankruptcy. PORTLAND MARKETS. Grain. Hour, .Feed. Etc. The wheat market is quiet and weak, and dealers quote lower prices. Oats and barley are slow. Hay is dull and easy.

Proposed Transfer Tax Is Factor in Sudden Collapse in Activity The Money Outlook. - NEW TORE. March SO. Today's stock market was not' much more than a drifting match, and the movement was not conclu sive or convincing at any tlic. The volume of transactions shrank to the lowest In many weeks. Very "large importance was attached in the discussion about the stock exchange to the threatened stock transfer tax as the fac tor making most for this sudden collapse In activity. The decision to make this tax hill a parity measure was accepted as offering an extreme probability of its enactment Ik to law. -while the amount of the proposed tax is not regarded as extremely burdensome in ihe actual transfer of stockholdings frsm one owner to another. It Is generally agreed that It would form a serious rentralnt upon manipulative operations and upon the so called scalping operations on the floor of the stock exchange upon which, the profes sional traders largely rely for their liveli hood. The manipulative measures usual In a very active speculation are sot confined to room trading operations, but are relied on al?o to further the flotation of new capital issues when they first make their appear ance. With a large volume of such new ls sues In prospect there is a fear that the marketing of them may be handicapped by any restraint of the" freedom of operations in the market. But there was ground for suspicion that if other conditions were sot operative this factor might not have been so effective in the decline of activity, the discussion being a result rather of the idle ness of the market than Its cause. There was calling of loans during the day which necessitated a shifting of accommoda tions even where renewals were secured without an ad-asce In the rates.. The stock market never escapes some disturbance when this process is going on. The subscriptions for the Japanese loan were the direct cause of the firmness 'Of call money, hut preparations were also going on for the April 1 settle meat and the placing of the Pennsylvania bond issue loom beyond. Confidence Is pro fessed that the harder tone of the money market will be short lived and that the loan operations, when concluded, will permit the quick return of their proceeds to the money market. It is upon this ' conviction that cur rent operations In stocks are rather of a wait ing character than a reflection of Any posi tive opinion on the outlook. The selling pres sure was light, but there was no d la position to buy on a large scale. A weak bank statement on Saturday is taken for granted. Although some of the In terior exchanges on New York have risen to a premium, this Is believed to be due to re mittances to participate In the Japanese loan subscriptions. Interior banks, however, are drawing freely on their New York cor respondents for payment of internal revenue collections. Returns of the February net earnings of the railroads as they come to band are not encouraging to a demand for stocks, although the poor earning conditions then are shewn to be corrected by later re turns of gross earnings. The market got no help from foreign influences, the weak nets of Russians being aggravated at Paris by the German attitude In Morocco. A reviv al of iron merger talk alarmed the shorts ts those stocks, and had some sympathetic ef fect on the general market. The greater tranquility than was expected in the call money market also contributed to the late firmness. The wide morements in a few low grade securities were due to Individual causes. The market closed irregular after Its sub stantial recover". Bonds were steady. Total sales, par value. $3,085,000. United States bonds were all un changed on call. CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS.

CHICAGO. March 30. Sentiment in the wheat pit was bearish throughout the greater part of the session. At the opening July was off a shade to 0c at 8S08Sc The com paratively steady tone of cables In the face of weakness here yesterday caused a mod erate demand early in the day, commission- houses being the principal buyers. Under this demand the market became somewhat firmer, July advancing to SSXc. Ample sup port, however, was lacking, and the market soon cased off again. Weather, both In the Northwest and Southwest, was of a kind to discourage any great voluma of purchases. Advices from Minneapolis claimed that Spring seeding Is progressing favorably In that section. Reports from the Southwest were also largely of a bearish tenor, the Fall- sown wheat being reported in excellent condi tion. The movement of wheat showed a lib eral increase over that of the corresponding day a year ago. and this fact had some effect In creating the bearish sentiment. Toward the middle of the day selling became gen eral. Fairly liberal sales by a prominent nun started active selling ty pit traders. As a xesult prices broke easily. July declining to 87. Later the greater part of the loss was regained on buying, due partly to a re port showing small shipments from Argen tina. Final quotations on July were c off. at 8SSS8c May opened unchanged to c higher at $1.12eL12. sold between $1.1: and $1.12;. and closed at $1.12. Reports of heavy export sales caused 1 strong finish In the com market. The mar ket closed at almost yesterday's final quota tions. May opened 0c to 0c lower. at 46l(tf4ic. and closed at 47c Tho oats market was dominated mainly by the action of corn. May closed at 29c. Provisions were weak the greater part of the day.

Estairtshe WHEAT AND STOCK BROKERS Room 4, Ground Floor RAILROADS ARE BUYING HEAVY PURCHASES ARE FEA TURE OF IRON MARKETS. Another Burst of Buying of Basic Pig In the Ea3t Heavy Book ings of Bridge Material. NEW YORK. March 3a The continued heavy buying of materia! of all, kinds by railroad Interests is still the main featuro of the iron markets, says the -Iron Age. It- is reflected in qulfe a steady flow of small ad ditional rail orders, la a very heavy demand for plates, and In the buying of considerable quantities of structural material. The position of the plate market is attract ing particulars attention. Eastern milts-, are selling considerable quantities In the West ern markets, notably Cleveland and Pitts burg, and In some Instances are . securing premiums. It is understood that the lead ing Interest Is fully booked fori & long time ahead, and Is on the verge of 'being a pur chaser to cover contracts. It begins to look as though some foreign material may have to be brought in this year. There has been another burst of buying of basic pig iron in the Eastern markets. In Philadelphia district three steel works have In the aggregate bought 36.000 tons at. prices varying from $1CC0 to $16.75. delivered for the third and fourth quarters. A mill In the New York district has taken 8500 tons. The Pittsburg market for Dig Iron for steel manufacture is pretty bare. It being Impos sible to squeeze out 1000 to 2000 tons of Bes semer pig for the Cleveland district for Im mediate delivery. The Steel Corporation, It Is estimated, will need about 40,000 tons for April delivery, which has not 'et 'seen con tracted for. The general Jobbing foundry trade W still slack. A tidewater steel plant has purchased one lot of 6000 tons of foreign Bessemer pig at or about $18.50 Baltimore, and may have taken additional quantities. This, however. Is to cover partially saTes of steel rails made to South America, taking advantage of the drawback. An Interesting situation is developing In bridge material. A good deal of business has been placed. A leading Interest has booked during the week about 20,000 tons In Individ ual small lots. While the bookings are very heavy, the drawings and specifications are still coming In slowly. There is danger. therefore, of a rush later on. which the fabrication end with ample reserve capacity will easily care for. but which may prove embarasslng to the structural and' plate mills that are even now threatened with conges tion. SAN FRANCISCO MARKETS. Ores on Potatoes and. Onions Command Bet ter Prices. SAN FRANCISCO. March 30.-(SpeciaI.) Fancy potatoes and onions are stronger. The best Oregon stock of both commands top notch prjees. Of the Oregon Burbanks brought by the Columbia today, about 1000 sacks thus far sold at $1.2591.45. One extra fine lot brought $1.50. Fancy Coos Bay are In de mand at the latter price. Cheap potatoes are quiet, but steadier, owing to the advance in high-grade stock. New potatoes are In lighter supply, hut no higher. Fancy Oregon onlrms are firmly held at $3.50 by a large dealer, who claims to have bought up the bulk of supplies in Oregon available for this market and virtually controls the situation here. As paragus and green pease are firmer. Receipts of oranges were llghtar, but the- open market was overburdened with ordinary stock, chiefly large naveld in poor condition. Sound, repacked standards are In good demand at $1.25 for Northern markets. Other fruits are quiet, cold weather being against trade Grain futures were Irregular. May wheat and barley had a further sharp decline, but the December delivery of both were well sus tained. Cash prices for all cereals were steady. Chartering for new crop grain loading has commenced. Several vessels are reported taken for September-October loading at the minimum rates of the Ship Owners Union.

(To the Editor.) it nad been decided by those In charge of the evangelistic work now progressing In this city that Rev. Daniel Toy should. In the Mens Resort of Portland, give a- full ac count of his past wayward Ufa and of his thorough and complete reclamation. It was not. as the writer understands; planned that Mr. Toy should go upon street corners and in repeated harangues parade before promiscu ous crowds "the deep damnation" of his earlier years. It was not the plan that he should tell what might to many be the loath some tale of his .degradation and misery In churches. Undoubtedly the evangelistic man aging board deemed it wise for Mr. Toy to do as they had decided that he should. Un doubtedly they, with tho deepest sense of re sponsibility for the act. and with the light which long-continued and diverse experience has given them, were convinced that the tell ing of this story had an appropriate place and would serve a special purpose. Undoubtedly, also, there are many who dis agree with the evangelists in regard to this plan of theirs, and to many other methods and plans pursued by them. Let us admit honesty and sincerity on the part of all. Let us admit, at least for the sake of the argu ment, that the people working by one method to eradicate the evils which exist In society are as constant In their efforts and as much in earnest as these working by the other. It may very properly be said to both. "You have not yet succeeded." It may also be said, "You never will succeed by assuming the attitude of belligereats toward each other." If the one believes Its way to blot out evil Is best. let him walk in that way and use all the power he has to secure noble ends, and lei the other do the same. But do not waste time and energy In fighting each other. Every respectable Individual, every respectable or ganization, every respectable publication, claims to be a force working for the uplift ing of humanity. All claim community of in terest; why not each gather up his burden and carry it along by his own methods? There is enough for all to do, and I think the query is legitimate for ,all whether It Is wise, whether It Is promotive of the great ends in view that either force in the field should forbid or seek to repress the other because he followeth net his way.
