Hopmen who have been watching the mar
ket closely have an WW that something Is
about t happen. What that something will
be they 60 not know. r rather they Judge
of the situation from the standpoint of their
enn Interest?. The bears say they will be
surprised if the market does not break badly
in the near future, while the bulls are Just
as confident that the prolonged deadlock is
about to be concluded by a scramble among
dealer to secure hops. The bears base tholr
argument on the bolief that the growers who
wnt Into the pool cannot be held together
much longer, owing to the lateness of the
season. The growers, on the other hand,
have had their hope? raised by the unfavorable
crop reports that have come from various
section. In the meantime the market is
stagnant. Traders nay they have no orders
at any price. Very few hops arc offerings on
the market.
The following letter lecc'ved yesterday from
Isaac Pincus & Sons, of Taooma. shows the
most encouraging features of the present
si'uatlon:
For the first time since November 2, New
York, which has been the center of the bear
movement, has ' been compelled to advance
quotations on Pacific Coast hops lc per pound,
and choice C0a.1t hops arc now quoted at 29c.
(See Oregonlan Sunday. May 14). Before the
formation of he Oregon pool choice Pacifies
sold as low as 2Cc, New York. Today's quo
tations Indicate an advance of 3d About 1000
bales of Pacifies have been reshipped from
London to New York, practically all by one
firm. It was reported that thte firm bought
the hops In London at from 26c to 28c. The
truth of the matter Is that the hops had
been consigned to George W. Bird & Co.,
of London, early In the season, and, as noon
as the pool was formed, the firm above
mentioned cabled to London that, unless the
hops could be sold at 28c to reship them.
The reshipment demonstrate that the hops
were valued at about 29c New York, or 27c
Coast. We are advicd that the quality of
the shipments was very poor. If growers
on the Pacific Coast stand firm, a steady ad
vance will take place, beginning soon. Twen
ty -five cents is now offered for hops whloh
buyers confidently, expected to purchase by
tt'ls time at 20c, and no one Id paying 25c
for hops for fun, but because they ned
them. If those who are trying to buy now
do not get them at the present offering price,
they will pay more. The formation of the
Oregon Hop Holders' Iotective Association
was a death blow to the hopes of the bears.
Siey are now floundering around between the
vil and the deep sea, half dazed, and when
they "come to" they will get In the market
and buy hops at the growers' asking prices.
New York wires May 12 that crop pros
' peit are not favorable. London cables May
13 'English crop conditions uncertain." Ev
erybody has reduced estimates on the Oregon
crop from 120.000 to 133.000 bales, to 90,000
to 110.000 bales. California reports that
therf is a. snail doing damage to the roots.
Ir crop reports continue along these lines
f-T another 30 days. 1904 heps will go to
S3 and contracts to 20c. Reports that we.
any other dealers holding hops in oonjunc
t.iin with Pacific Coafct growers, are felling
1 an be put dawn as positive falsehoods and
aie being spread for a purpose too plain to
fool anysne.
POULTRY GOES TO PIECES.
Prices Slashed Right and Left In Effort to
Reduce Stocks.
The poultry market went to pieces yester
day. R(oeipts have been excessive for sev
eral days, but the quantity that came In yes
terday simply swamped the market. About 100
coops were still left on Front street at the
Hose of business. Efforts made to reduce
stocks by making concessions weie of no
avail, for the retailers cither had enough or
were certain that .notations would go still
'eur. and therefore betd off. A large pro
portion of the receipts were Storings, many
of them under one pound in weight. These
peepers were absolutely un-aleable. as the
retailers .said they oeuW do nothing with
them.
Quotations on chickens were a full cent
1 iwer all around. For the best hens that
ame In, not over 13 cents was asked, and
lommon stock sold down In proportion.
Springs slumped to 18J720 cents. There was
some Inquiry for turkeys, but rtene was re
reived. BERRY MARKET QUIET.
Trade Is Turned Against California
Fruit.
The quality or the California berries that
arrived yesterday showed some improvement
-ver that flf the day before, but not much.
The market was rather slow, as the trad.e
has been turned against the Southern fruit.
Prices ranged from 50 cents to $1.25 a crate.
Receipts of Oregon berries were larger, and
hey sold fairly well at $4 for Hood Rivers
ind $3.50 for Sputhern Oregon.
California cherries were in liberal supply,
but were barely firm, as the demand was
low. Lighter receipts are looked for In the
next few days. A few crates "of apricots
were received from San Francisco and were
moved at $1.50 a crate.
Wheat Movement TJgtat.
The wheat market was quiet yesterday. The
only demand was from California and that
was limited. Shipments to the South are
now very light In view of the small s'tocks
held In this section, values arereported very
Arm. Dealers quote club at 84 to 86 cents
nd bluestexn at 90 to 92 cents.
Eggs acd Butter Firm.
There was a firmer tone, to the egg market
yesterday. Receipts were plentiful, but the
Jemand was better. Single case lots brought
16 cents and large lots 17ij cents.
Butter was firm and .unchanged. City cream
eries reported no falling off in the movement,
is a result of the Hj-cent advance.
Cfee-rse Market Weak.
The cheess market was very weak yester
day, and gave indications of a decline in
nrlces, wnHch may come today. Receipts were
heavy. Full cream were quoted at-14S14tc
tvith an occasional rale ot a single cheese at
15 cent. Toung Americas -were worth the
usual margin of 1 cent over this.

Sharp Advance In Tin at London Iron Is
Unsettled.
NEW YORK. May 17. An advance of about
5s was reported from the London tin market,
which closed at 1 35s lOd for spot and 1
3 is lOd for futures. Locally the market was
quiet, but a little higher In sympathy with
the gains abroad, closing at 29.75 6'30.15c
Copper was easier again In Iondon. closing
at 64 6s Od for both spot and futures. The
local market was quiet, but the tone appears
to be steadied by exportations later in the
month. I-ake is quoted at 15frl5.25c; elec
trolytic at 156 15.12Vjc and casting at 14.75
15c
Lead was a shade higher at 12 ISs 3d In
London, but remained unchanged at 4.50 &
4.60c locally.
Spelter was unchanged at 63 12s 6d in
London. The local market was easy in tone,
but without further change at 5.5005.60c
Iron closed at 52s in Glasgow and at 55s
'in MIddlesboro. Locally iron remains un
settled. The lower prices quoted are said to
be based on sales made on the basis of

OPERATIONS IN ST. PHIL
BUYING MOVEMENT liIFTS THE
PJUCE IN STOCK 3LVRKET.
Rumor Associates This Itlnc With
Northern Pacific Unsatisfactory
Beport From Iron Trade.
NEW TORK. May 17. There were a few
more shares dealt In on the Stock Exchange
today than yesterday, but the listless char
acter of the trading was not altered. The
market showed the same dUpostlon to yield
the day's extreme changes, the only differ
ence being that yestercay uiose cnanges
were declines made in the first hour and
followed by a slow movement of retrieval
while today the only considerable gains were
eatabllshed during the first hour and were
slowly yielded afterward. The exception
was St. Paul, which made Its highest prices
later In the day. responding to several dis
tinct buying movements which lifted the
rrice a stage higher each time. The effect
of this special movement on the general list
steadily diminished throughout the day and
practically lost Its influence in the later
trading.
Union Pacific showed a special sympathy at
first and was almost as active as St. Paul
itself, but Its price drooped and Its activity
diminished, berore the operations In St. Paul
closed. Those operations were attributed
very largely to professional account, and the
many rumors afloat to account for them
associated St. Paul and Northern Pacific in
one way or another. The assertions regard
ing these two companies pointed to absorption
of one by the other, the absorbing company
varying In the rumors. Meantime Northern
Pacific itself and Great Northern showed evi
dence of some pressure and fhis largely de
prived the St. Paul movement of its influ
ence. The market had some help from a renewal
of reports in circulation In European financial
centers of a revival of efforts among the
powers indirectly Interested to bring about
peace In the Far East. The London stock
market showed sensible relief from the pres
sure of belated liquidation which has caused
depression there for several days past. The
weakening of the prices of wheat on account
of the weather reports showing clearing con
ditions, anii more favorable prospects In the
Winter wheat belt helped the market. Reports
of a project on the part or the Kansas City
Southern for securing an Independent outlet
to New Orleans gave some strength to Its
stocks.
The most effective check to the influence of
the St. Paul movement was the heaviness of
the United States Steel stocks, which were
depressed throughout. Anxiety was -caused by
the statement that the buying movement of
pig iron had been almost arrested, while In
dications were that the jobbing trade bad
overbought early In the year in the. lighter
llrs of finished Iron and steel and that the
of.'ering of concessions was of problematical
success In moving goods. "The feeling Is
abroad," says the Iron Age, "that a fresh
buying movement cannot well be expected
until well into June, and that the crop pros
pects will have a decided Influence upon the
movement."
This broke the ms.rket and wiped out the
day's gains for the most part. There were
some rallies on short covering, but the clos
ing was unsettled.
Bonds were steady. Total sales, par value.
J 1.905,000. United States bonds were all un
changed on call.

CHICAGO WHEAT MARKET WEAK.
"Lower Cables and Brighter Weather Affect
Prices.
CHICAGO. May 17v Weakness was mani
fested in the wheat market throughout the en
tire session. At the opening July was down
S'iC at S7if?S7Vjc. Two main factors
entered Into the situation to contribute to
the Initial decline. One of these Influences
was the weakness of the wheat market at
Liverpool. More significance, however, was
generally attached to the prospects of clear
weather in the Spring wheat country, of
ficial reports Indicating clear skies and higher
temperatures throughout the Northwest. Soon
after the opening covering by shorts forced
up the price of July to S7;eS7!c. but a
reaction quickly occurred. During the early
part of the session the trading was active,
several large holders being liberal sellers.
Sharp declines at Minneapolis and Duluth en
couraged the bears here. Later the selling
pressure was checked totally by an unfounded
report ot a Chicago crop expert. Outside
of this report there was little news of a
bullish nature. During the last half hour
of trading shorts -were fair purchasers, but
this demand caused only a slight rally. The
market was weak at the close with final
quotations on July at SG"r.f? S6Hc
The May option was again the star attrac
tion In the corn market. The market opened
exceedingly strong, and closed strong. May
opened unchanged to 1 lie higher, at 5354Hc.
sold between 32',i and 54Uc. and closed at
33Uc July opened iic higher, at 4SU
4Sic sold between 4S3IS'.ic and 4&Hc. and
closed -at 47ic
A steady tone prevailed In the oats market.
July opened unchanged at 29Uc sold between
10,6297429c. and closed at 29Hc
An advance of 5 to 10c In the price ot live
hogs had a strengthening effect on provi
sion, the markets being given a wider sup
port by packers. At the close. July pork
was up 5fl7Hc lard was up 2',-je. and ribs
were unchanged.
