THE 3IORXIXG- OREGOvIA FRIDAY, OCTOBER 6, 1905. OPS MORE ACTIVE Sales in the Valley at 11 to 13 Cents Are Reported. OFFERS ARE TURNED DOWN Conrad Krcbs Talks of tlic Growers' Corporation, Crop Conditions and Prospects Advance in German Market. HOPS Steady Improvement In local conditions. FRUIT Peach season nearly ended. Grapes selling well. POULTRY Slump In chickens and turkeys continues. EGGS Movement moderately active and prices steady. 1 VRPENTINE Two-cent advance in quotations. The hop market Is beginning to show more activity. Several sales wore reported from up tho Valley yesterday, ranging from 11 to 13 cents. Offers were out here at the top price, but failed to attract sellers. Conrad Krebs, who came down from Salem Ui the morning, made two offers at 13 cents for choice export lots, but the offers were rejected. "We have Just finished picking In our In dependence yard," said Mr. Krebs, "and the crop came down 200,000 pounds of dry hops. The Brooks yard produced a little less than last year on the oW acreage, but the new acre age brings the total up to last year. "Tbe meeting of the Hopgrowers' Associa tion will be held at Salem on the 18th. The original date was the 14th. but as the Fair wl'l cloee on that day, I thought best to change It. This meeting will be for the pur pose of discussing the advisability of forming a corporation or devising other means of dis posing of the crop. Many growers who held back at first are now In favor of the corpora tion plan, as prices have reached such a point whee they would have nothing to lose and everything to gain by such a plan. "Old hops are worth as much as new hops today, and should command a premium, owing to their scarcity. Every one convcrfant with the requirements of hops for brewing purposes knows that hops are really not fit for use until they are four to six months old, and for the export trade, they are better If they are yearlings. It must be admitted that the supply of old hops on hand now la the small- "est for 1 years. "The crop of the United States this year will not exceed 240.000 bales at the outside. and I do not think It will be over 220.000 bales. I have talked to many brewers, and they tell roe they expect tho United States will brew 52,000.000 barrels of beer. Brewers, as every one knows, are obliged to make ewcrn statements to the Government on all material used In every kettle brewed, as a safeguard against possible beating the Gov ernment out of revenue tax. and as they are Ji?t required to use any specific quantity of hops or malt, can have no motive for falsify ing their reports. That being the case, we can take the Government's figures of .62. of a pound of hops to eaoh barrel, which would bring the brewery requirements up to about 237,000 bales. "The quality of hops in New York and Eng land Is poor this year, and there Is no ques tion but that exports will aggregate 60,000 hales. The average quality of Oregon hops Is very good, but there will not be so many etrlctly choice ones as expected. "I made two offers of 13 cents for choice hops today, but could not get them. "The markets are improving all over the world. I received a telegram yesterday from Bernard BIng at Nuremberg as follows: 'Ex porters buying. Market 5 cents higher.' This advance Is bound to be reflected here. Grow ers cannot expect England to enter this market until November, because of the arsenic scare. They want to eee the samples and ha-e them analyzed, end the growers should wait to sell until then." The most Important news of the day was the report received from Aurora that the McGonegal lot of about 100 bales had been sold at 13 cents to Klaber, Wolf & Netter. The hops are choice In quality. Kola Ntls, of Albany, bought 308 bales of primes from his uncle at 11 cents. Several other deals were said to have been put through at Val ley points, but the particulars could not be learned here. E. J. Smith, of this city, has rcceU-ed a number of letters from growers in regard to his consignment plan and believes that within another week the business will be In good shape, Already 300 bales have been offered for ronslgnment to New York. Advices from Washington report that Consul Bardel, of Bamberg, reports that estimates of the German hop crop appear to be very favorable. An increase will probably be re ported from every district. The quality of the hops in Bataxia Is said to be very good. The estlmatets, stated in American hundred- -weights, are: 1905. 1904. 254.O00 77.000 38,000 94,000 22,000 Bavaria 300,000 Wurttemberg 83.000 Baden 44.000 Alsace 121.000 Posen, Altmark and Western Prussia 44,000 Total for Germany 001,000 465,000 From all other hopgrowing countries In Europe, such as Bohemia, Great Britain, Bel glum, France and Russia, tie estimates on the volume of the expected crop vary so much that it would seem safe not to quote figures yet, but there is no doubt at all that all countries raising hops this year will be able to report an Increase over 1904. The Washington weekly crop report has this to say of hop-plcklng In that state: "The rains were unfavorable for hop-plcklng, delaying It considerably. With favorable weather, picking will be completed by the end of the coming week. In some yards the crop Is a good one, but generally it Is below expectations." A prominent hopman of Portland is author ity for the statement that not over 1000 bales of the Oregon crop will show mold as a re sult of the rains that started before picking was finished. TEACH SEASON NEARLY ENDED. Final Shipments Are Not of Choice Qual ity Grapes Move Well. The peach season is practically at an end. Word was received from Southern Oregon sec tions yesterday that no more stock was to be had there. A few shipments came in dur ing the day, but most of the fruit was small and hardly saleable. Grapes were In good supply and sold well at former prices. There was a good Inquiry for apples and pears, of which stocks were light. The wrecking of the San Francisco steamer will cause a shortage In several lines Satur day. Among the- St. Paul's freight was the j first ehlpment of new navel oranges. Jl car of bananas and a car of sweet po- atoes are due today. Both these articles were scarce yesterday. POULTRY GOES LOWER. Clean-Up Price on Chickens Is Named at 11 Cents Turkeys Not "Wanted. The poultry market was about as bad off yesterday as It well could be. A few dealers on Front street succeeded In cleaning up their receipts by slashing prices, but others were not bo fortunate. One firm sold some S5 coops of hens and Springs at the uniform price of 11 cents, and other firms that cleaned up did not average xnueh more. Tur keys were not wanted and retailers positively refused to take them at any price. Receipts of all kinds of poultry were very large. There was no change in eggs, with business reported moderately active and prices steady. Butter and .cheese sold at former quotations. Advance In Turpentine. Turpentine quotations advanced 2 cents a gallon yesterday, the price -cow standing at 88 .cents. This is the first change in this line since August 22. ' Bank Clearings.

The Iran Trade Re view this week says: Buying has continued steadily during the past week, giving ample evidence of general prosperity In the iron and steel buslnea-, but the period has not been characterized toy the placing of orders of unusual size or Impor tance. Among conservative Interests there a a growing fee Hag that, If there Is any dan gor In the present situation. It lies in the tendency to advance prices too rapidly, espe cially for raw materials. Pig Iron prices In the South are flrra and tending upward. While some Iron was rvkl late lart week at Birmingham at $12 to $12.25 for No. 2, some of the largest producers are out of the market, whleh Is now strong at $12.50. Since the recent sales of Bessemer were made to the Steel Corporation at $15, two leadinr sellers have withdrawn from the market, with the expectation that $15.50 will prevail when they are again ready to eater. Quotations on foundry Iron in the Central West 8 how an increasing tendency to name prohibitive prices for next year's output. A new system of making sales of tin plate his been announced by three principal pro ducers. Although this system does not make much change In actual prices. It has been received wlh pome mrprlse, as an advance was rather expected. ' Heavy buying of rails Is apparently over for the present, although during the past week a. Chicago mill booked orders for 50,000 tons and was compelled to decline an order for 50,000 additional tons on account of inability to give required delivery. The American Shipbuilding Company has placed an order for 30,000 tons of plates at Chicago. EASTERN LIVESTOCK. Prices Current at Kansas City, Omaha- and Chicago.

TOUCHESHtGH W1RRK Call-Money Rate at New York Advances to Eight Per Cent. TRADING IS CONSTRAINED Belief Is General That Firmness of Money 3rarkct Will Continue for Some Tlme Loans At tracted From Outside. NEW YORK. Oct. 5. The call loan -rate touched the high level of the year at S per cent today and the stock market, as a whole, resumed the appearance of last week. That is to say. trading became dull and con strained, but the undertone held firm. Latt week the firmness of the market was gen erally attributed to the expectation of an early easing of money after the special re quirements of the turn of the quarter and for large syndicate transactions had been made In today's market, however, there has been a perceptible growth of opinion that money rates are likely to be firmly held for some time to come. In speculative circles. where the talk of the return of ease In money has dealt with days heretofore, the allowance for possible firmness of money was extended to weeks. In this, the speculative discussion came more Into line with the prevalent bank opinlom, none of which looks for relaxation in money except with the passage of weeks and In some coses bankers look for months as the period of duration for higher money rates. In behalf of this opinion, bankers assert that a firm money market In New York through the last quarter of the year Is a perfectly normal condition. The situation this year. It Is pointed out. 1$ circulated to em phasize this condition rather than to relieve It. E Torts were made in speculative Quar ters, however, to mitigate the influence of yesterday's flurry In money by attributing it to special causes. The rise today to above the rate quoted yesterday rather dlMlpated the effect of this explanation. The high rate had the effect, however, of attracting loans from outside sources and there were large offerings on account of bank ing institutions at other points. These funds, however, were drawn for the roost part from deposits In New York banks. The effect was the same as the transfer of loans from the New York banks to the trust companies. which has been going on for several weeks, the new loans necessitating to same extent the catling of old loans by the New York banks. Some of the recent lenders among the trust companies were reported a!o- to be among tbe calling loans today. A rise New York exchange at Chicago was a reflec Uon of the attraction of the higher money here. 'The decline In foreign exchange was another result. Large additional arrivals of gold are ex pected In London tomorrow and the day's decline in sterling rates here leaves open the question of New York ability to secure a portion of this. Discounts moved upward today In London and in Paris, and the ex traordinary low proportion of the reserves reported by the Bank of England gave occa sion for surprise that the expected advance In the bank rate was not made. The fact that continental exchange had continued to move against London, In spite of the week's ri-e in the open market discount rates there, adds to the puzzle of the retention of the present rate The continued pressure 'for funds at Paris Is believed to be due to heavy leases Involved In the collapse of the ougar stKwulatlon In France. The day's movements In the money markets and In the International exchanges of tho world offered no explanation for the reported shipment of $4,400,000 of gold from the Bank of France to London, and the operation was .the subject of interest and 'surmise In banking clrelen. ' The movement of prices of stocks under the restraint of the money -market was not Important, but the upward tendency was quite distinct during the latter part of the day. The tone of the market continued undecided vp to the dose, which was Irregular. Bends were firm. Total ralor, par value. $2,495.G00. United Slates 2s coupon advanced Vi per cent on call.
