Newspaper Page TextTHE MORXIXG OREGOSTIAX. PREPAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 190o. 15 SELL THEIR HHPS Washington Growers Are Let ting Go Freely. FEELING THERE VERY WEAK Seventeen Hundred Bales Change Hands at 10 and 11 Cents. Xot Much Doing in .Oregon. Imports and Exports. HOPS Market breaks under heavy setting In "Washington. FLOUR Decline In local prices. FRUIT Strong demand for peaches. Foreign apple situation. BUTTER Unsatisfactory conditions In local markc. BGGS Liberal Eastern and storage offerings weaken market. POULTRY Receipts unevenly dis tributed and prices vary. The hop market In Washington ha opened yt with a Midden slump. The growers of that Mate have done aa they did last Winter, undersold their brethren In Oregon and parted with their goods. Sales were made In the past tw days of 1700 bales at prices ranging from 18 to 11 cents. Buyers are still in the floM. and it Is believed that more transactions will follow In the next few days at the same prices or even lower If the Washington grow ers should go Into a panic. Of the sales made. 1300 bales were West ern Washington, grown In the Ortlng, Oreen River and White River sections. Some were taken at -10 cents, eotne at 10 aad others at 11. There Is a dispute as te the quality of the hops, a wire from Taeoma saying they are choice, while dealers here declare they oaty grade from oemme-n to medium. No one appears to inow definitely who the buyers were, some" crediting the deal to Paul Horst and ethers to Ullman. Klaber & Plncus claim not to know, am! have "Telegraphed here fr information on the subject. Another rale involved 400 bales of Yakimas bought by Mc NefX Bros, at 11 cents. A rumor came down from Salem in the afternoon that Catlln & Linn had td tent of their hops at 13 cents, bt the details were not obtainable. The Oregn growers as a rule are just as firm as the Washington growers are weak. The farmers of this state have the advantage tht year la one respect, the quality of their hops. Oregon is the only state that will pro duce choice hops of export quality in any large oantity. and the English buyers must come here to flit the bulk of their orders. An active demand is expooted just as soon as the rtuftw now being forwarded reach their des tination. What prices the exporters wJtl be wilting to pay remains to be seen. Picking will not be eompioted In all the Oregon yard for 10 days yet. The pickers will flnieta . their work at the big Witchhazel yard this afternoon. A. J. Ray. the owner of the yard. aye the crop wilt average 1450 pounds to the acre. He expected 1200 pounds. According to figures Just received from the Treasury Department, the Imports of hops into the United States the past season, ended Au gwt 81. were 16.888 bales, of which 0001 halm were received at Now York; total ex ports from the United States wore 76.fiu2 bales, which Induded OS, 1ST bales shipped from the port of New York. BUTTER IN A BAD WAY. Prices Are Maintained, Though the Market" Is Said to Be Very Weak. According to most reports, the butter market is in a bad shape. The city creameries are generally quoting 82 cents -on their top grades, though one croamoryman asks no more than 30 contrt, and another threatens to take the same action. Probably most of them are doing some business at the out price, though they do not acknowledge It. The bulk of their business appears to be in second-grade butter, which is a fair article at a good re duction under the top price On Front street the tone is decidedly weak. A little butter is going at SO eents there, more at 27 cento, and a considerable quan tity at 25 cents. One dealer, who found his butter piling up on him had to put a lot of It in ootd storage. In the meantime, a lot of Bastorn butter has been unloaded on this market, and now a Seattle man 1b figuring on putting Washington creamer but ter here, as the Portland market is far above Seattle POULTRY PRICES UNSETTLED. Owing to Receipts Being: Unevenly Distrib uted Eggs Are Weaker. Receipts of poultry yesterday were not evenly divided and the market was, therefore, re ported weak in nonie quarters and steady in others. Prices had a wide range, running from 3 to 14 cents, with 16 cents asked for fancy hens. The egg market has an easier tendency, probably owing to the large quantity of TEartern and cold-storage stock offered. Not m ai r eggs are coming in from the country mw, but it is hard, to -get over 27 cents for the freshest. Eastern eggs are eelllnr at 25 cents, coM-sterage Oregon stock at 21 cents. STRONG INQUIRY FOR PEACHES. Bert Offerings Sell at High Price Grapes Sent to Seattle. There "was a fine demand for peaches yes terday with an ample supply on hand to fiU all orders. Some Southern Oregon fruit of Inferior grade sold as lew as 50 cents, whle the choicest offerings In the market brought f 1.15. Tokays and blaok grapescwere rather scarce, hut there was an abundance of Del a wares on hand and aa the holders could get no offers on them, a big lot was sent over to Seattle. Concords are not very plentiful. Other kinds of fruit were In good supply and moved off well. AMERICAN APPLES IN DEMAND. Germany and France Ask for Fine Fruit From This Side. According to cables received by W. X. .White & Co., of New York, says the Journal of Com merce. American apples arc In more demand abroad, local crops of plums being finished and English early varieties of apples finishing. Quotations are: Kings. 19ff26s; Baldwins. 34 $28s; Greenings, UglSs; various, UQ21. Germany wants best colored annles and there are more inquiries this year than, for foitu time. France also asks for certain varieties and French buyers eay If they can get what they want very good nrlcn mv made. Shipments of pears "to Europe at pres ent are very heavy. Some SO, COO to -10,000 boxes will be shipped this week and In the opinion of W. N. White & Co. present prices cannot be maintained. Decline In Flour. The expected decline 1ln local flour quotations was announced yesterday, by the Portland Flouring Mills.

Disposition Among Growers Is to Hold for Higher Prices Buy ers Offer 12 and 13 Cents. ALBANT. Or.. Sept. 21. (Special.) Linn County hops have practically alt been gath ered. With bet few exceptions, picking is over in the yards, only two or three having more work to do, aad picking in there wilt be completed this week. Work in the dryer and baler will continue for some time, however. Hops are considered In better shape If per mitted to lie in the bin for orae time after being dried. The crop for the county is now stated to be. about as estimated before picking began. While this does net mean a full crop by any means. It means a few hundred more bales than were put out by Llnn County last year. The 2200 bales that Llnn sends out this year will be made up of hop. of prime grade. Never were the odoriferous hurra of bettw Klze and rounder than this year. Most of. the yards hare been requested to report "he num ber of boxes produced this year, and on a uni form basis of 12 pounds of dried hops t the box It will be possible to give figures In a week that will come within 50 pounds of the actual output of the county. There Is a disposition among Llnn County growers to held their bops for better price. Buyers here are offering 12 and 13 cents for prime hops, and growers seem Inclined to think the price will rise enough te Justify holding. No sales have been reported rince the picking season opened. A number of orders have been placed with middlemen at the prices quoted above but as yet effort to meet the orders have failed. Mining Stocks. SAN FRANCISCO. Sept. 21.

CULL MONEY MARKED UP CHECKS STRENGTH AND ANIMA TION OP STOCK ZMARKET. Canadian Pacific and Reading the Features of the Day's Trad ing at New York. NEW YORK. Sept. 21. Today's early clock market had an appearance of considerable strength and animation and special stocks made striking advances much In the manner of yesterday, market. Some constraint de veloped in the later operations, and the rate of activity fell away very materially. The marking up of the call money rate was the poieatlal Influence tn this result. Deals and rumors of deals played a large pari In the principal movements of the day which were In stocks supposed te be In the band, of pools or oscepUble readily to manipulation. Both Canadian Pacific and Keaaing were promi nent features during the day. Rumor continues very active with the alleged project of a new issue of Great Northern preferred to present stockholders and St. Paul figured In a rumor of aa Impending Issue of $25,000,000 of author ized stock with subscription privileges to stockholders. Rates for call money were Arm and higher, although time loans were called somewhat easier, the demand for that kind of accom modation having subsided somewhat. Yet sub Treasury operations this week have yielded to the banks over $1,000,000 compared with a ku& for the corresponding period last week of $3,665,000. Indicating an advantage In this week's showing of $7,000,000 over last week. The Interior demand has also -relaxed. This seems to Indicate that the banks are relieved from the necessity of calling loans In order to keep within the reserve limit. It Is as sumed, therefore, that the hardening tone of money must have to do with the disposition of the trust companies funds rather than with those o, the banks. The retention of the Bank of England rate was a favorable factor In the day's market. A renewed tall In foreign exchange resulted, but the decline was not sufficient to report the point ef profit for further engagements of gold for import, for discounts roso In Berlin and Paris. The Irregular tone of the late mar ket continued up to the close. Bonds were Arm. Total sales, par value $3,335,000. United States 2s coupon declined per cent on call. CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS.

This call for an increase in the operative force Is due to the fact that the road Is doing- the biggest business? in Its history. The freight service calls for all the help the facilities -will permit, and the fact that one of the engineers draws nearly $200 for the month's work shows how busy are the men who have the handling of the business of the road.

CHICAGO PRICES ADVANCE t Forty Per Cent of Exports Salf to Have Been Kclmportcd at tho 'Baltic Ports Rise at Minneapolis. CHICAGO. Sept. 21. Sentiment In the wheat pit today ivaa bullUh the entire jesalen. At the openlrru. December was up shC to ?jc at S4SieS4!ic. The advance was largely due to a sharp rise In prices at Liverpool, oa tenalbly the result o reports to the effect that Ruwla la face to face with the worst famine, which the Czara country has ever ex perienced. Indications of existing conditions came In cablegrams from Moscow to a commission-house here which claims that 40 per cent of the wheat exported from Ruesla up to this time has been relmported at the Baltic ports. The market here was further strength ened by higher prices at Minneapolis. For a time shorts here were Quite' active buyers. A leading bull also was reported as having bought considerable wheat, the greater por tion of which waa for May delivery. As a result, the December option advanced In sym pathy to 5Hc. Strength of cash wheat at all grain centers tended to encourage the pur chase of futures here. During the last hour, the market lost part of the strength that had developed, December selling oft to S4H64Hc A report that the Spanish government had re Imposed a duty on imports of wheat was partly responsible for the reaction. The mar ket, however, closed quite firm with Decem ber He higher at 84iG&l?ic. A Arm tone prevailed In the corn market.
