THE MORNING OREGONIAN, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 18, 1905. 15 gourse if mm Hopmen Differ as to Future of Prices. SOME LOOK FOR A SLUMP Break in Vulucs Would Draw Specu lative Element Into the Arena. Plenty of Iots Offering, ljut Not Choice. HOPS Conditions in Oregon market from growers and dealers" standpoint. BUTTER City creamery men In fa vor of a reduction. EGGS Fresh Oregon stock Is up. POULTRY Slight Improvement noted in prices. FRUIT Season tor Summer varie ties drawing to a close. SUGAR Another, 15-cont advance .in all grades. The course of the hop market is Toeing close ly watched by men connected with the trade and a variety of opinions aro expressed a to the futuro of prlees. Dealers are not to confident their views arc correct that they are willing to subscribe their names to their statements. Everyone know It is impossible to tell what action the grower will take and much naturally depends on their attitude toward the market. Few of the men in the trade arc sanguine of improvement In the immediate future. What will happen late in the season, of course, no one pretends to know. The strongest feature of the market is now. e It has been, the large number of whort pake made. The goods must be delivered on these contracts, and if the short Fellers cannot buy at a low price, they will have to pay a better one. It is. therefore, up to the holdor to say what the price will be. A rromlnent Polk County dealer who has been in the city thus expressed his viewy: "1 cannot see how thl can fall to lo an oft year for the growers. The market looks any thing but etrong to roe and I am prepared for a big slump before long. All the buying being done is to 111 short contracts and as soon as this ceases and growers find there arc no orders in the market, they will fall over one another In their efforts to cell. "When prices get down below 10 -cent there will be another story to tell. Tou will find speculators Jumping into the market then and buying to beat the band." A wrll posted local dealer thinks that prices will recedo when the short covering ha been accomplished, but does not believe the market will fall much under 10 cent, which 1 no slump at all aa prices arc but little above that now. He declares that buying at 10 cents will prevent any further decline. The buying by shorts, however, does not show any sign of immediately slackening. Not much trading has been reported for the past two days, tout the country is full of buyers yet and ome big transactions can be looked ior In the next few weeks. A few orders were on hand yesterday, but dealer find it very difficult to arouse any in terest on the part of the Eastern trade. A great many hop arc on th markot. which "SrV Ws a willingness on the part of the grow ers of the lower grade goods in all tactions to sell at current rates, but It is a fact recog nised by all that nothing is harder than ' to buy etrlctly fancy growth at prices now quoted. Among the transactions announced yester day was the purchase of 87 bales of Salem hops by II. L. Hart at cents. They grade medium to prime. Joseph Harris, of Salem, on Monday, bought 87 bales or prime to choice hop at 3214 cents. Other recent transactions were purchased by Ed Hcrrcn. of 31 bale from Henry Vogt and 34 bale from "William Bnibh. They were reported to be strictly choice and tho price paid was J2 and 1214 cents. Seavey & Metzgcr on Saturday night bought JCO bales of 1004s at Eugene at 10 cents. A timely report on the world' hop, crop has been furnished by Consul Baldwin, of Nurem berg. It show a gain of 000,000 American hundredweight ovtr last year, and euggoHs cheaper prices for the coming season. The report follows; The Bavarian hop cron promises to be rirh both in quantity and Quality, especially in the Spelt and Hallertau districts, where the yield this year gives beautiful hops, of full size and rich Quality. Bohemia will also have an abundant crop The Saaz district 1 estimated to yield this year 210,000 American hundredweight, against 110,000 last year, the Auscha dletrlot 77.000 hundredweight, against 47.000 last year. The world's hop crop is estimated as follows in American hundredweights: Germany Bavaria 308.000 Wurtemberg 88,000 Baden , 44,000 Alsace 110.000 Prussia. 33,000 083.000 Austria baas district 200,000 Auscha district 77.000 Dauba district 22,000 Galicia 22.000 All other districts 47.000 377.000 Russia CO, 000 Belgium 110.000 France 00,000 005.000 528.000 10.000 !

Auscha luamy u onerea at $i& to $17 per hundred- weigm; saaz quality at $21 to $25. CONDITION OF BUTTER TRADE. Mot of tho City Creameries in Favor of a Reduction. The agitation for a reduction In city butter I prices continues and may result in the naming I of new quotations today. The local manu facturers, however, aro not a unit In the mat ter, one company holding out for the old price (City butter quotations range from 30 to 324 cents, with sales being made within that I range. The market, on the whole. Is weak I as the demand has fallen on and receipts of cream arc Increasing. The desire of the ma jority of the city creameries is to put the market on a 30-cent basis. Quotations on state brands on Front street I range from 25 to 30 cents, the output of only I one creamery bringing the top price. The feeling In that quarter is also very weak and more or less shading of prices Is Tesorted to. SUMMER FRUIT SEASON ENDING. I Attention Is Now Being Turned to Later Varieties. The Summer fruit season. Is rapidly drawing Ito a close. Shipments of grapes and peaches continue to come In, but attention is beln jturned to oranges, bananas, apples and pears. oong yesterday's receipts of grapes was a lot of very fine muscats from the Santa Cruz Mountains. Florin Tokays are about 'done for. jut there are plenty of Oregon grapes of this I: ariety on hand. A shipment of peach en came In from The Daljcs yesterday an offered at C5 cent to $1.15." Plenty of huckleberries are arriving now and are briaglng 7 to S o-nui. Two cars of sweet potatoes arrived yester day. A car ef bananas 1 due today. . POULTRY MOVES BETTER. Firmer Prices Are Aked on Front Street TYeh Egg S carer. Poultry buyers showed mere interest in the market yesterday, and as receipts were limited, somewhat stlffor prices were named. The big retailers were net on hand, but purchases by rmaller dealer cleaned up the street vers wotl. OW hens and Springs were quoted at 11 cents and mixed coops at 11. Turkeys were alfce firmer at 17 to 17ife comm. Fresh Oregon eggs continue very care with sains of guaranteed stock generally made at 30 cents. Higher prieo would result but for the prcsonee of ample supplies of Eaatora eggs. Another Advance In Sugar. An advance ef 15 cents in all grades ef re fined sugar was announced yesterday morn ing. Coming so soon aftnr tho 15-cent rise of. last Saturday, It created something like excitement -in tho grocery trade. The two ad vances are explained a being a movement to restore tho normal parity between the Coast and the East. In some quarters it is bollcvod that the relation between the "West ern Refining Company and the Hawaiian peo ple aro at the bottom of the deal. Bank Clearing.

The wheat market opened firm, with December unchanged to He higher, at SST'.S&Oc Wet weather in the United Stats imparted some firmness to the situation, but the factor of apparently greatest Importance wat a cablegram from Odesea to a well-known concern here reporting the Rus sian Government as buying wheat for the re lief of the famine sufferer. It wa also claimed that shipment from Russia are de creasing. Throughout the entire day. demand from short constituted the chief source of buying. Offerings were comparatively small. Consequently prices advanced uninterrupted ly. The strength of cash wheat at Minneap olis was a faetor contributing to the upturn. For December the highest point of the day was reached at Gic.

Out When Call Ioan Rates Recover. Coalers n Feature. NEW YORK, Oct. 17. An'lncreaed supply of loanable funds, which appeared In the call loan market this roominc. started the professional operators to buying stoekn. The rate for call loan recovered later In tbe day and stocks bought earlier were sold out. The result was a considerable Increase In the activity In the market over that of yesterday and on several preceding day. The large supply of fundn early In the day at 5 per cent was offered by bankers closely connected with the flotation of the Japanese loan. This led to tbe Inference that the pro ceeds of the subscription paid on Monday were being replaced In the money market. When this supply had been absorbed, rates rose again to near the prevailing rate of yes terday. Sterling exchange rcee vigorously and the supposition that preparations for the re mittance of the Japanese funds were a factor In the exchange market caused a feeling of distinct of the easing effect caused by the plsihg of these fund in call loans, which presumably would be only temporary. Reports were current also of maturities fall ing due on very large sterling loans which had to be covered in the exchange market. Cotton and gram bills continued scarce In the mar ket, so that this extra demand Is effective In running up the rate toward the gold export point. Gold was marked up further In tho London market and the open market discount 1 rate there rose fairly above the banlc rate Sterling evchangc recovered a fraction at Paris, but continued downward at Berlin., the discount rate at the" latter point, however, yielding a shade. Heavy retrenchment wa shown by the Imperial Bank of Gcrmanr' weekly statement. Rates for time money in New York were strong and the bid for CO-day loans was advanced to 54 per cent, with the asking rate at 54 per cent. There were, no J mrcnr transfers or currency to the South through the subtreasury. while from San Fran cisco there were additional large receipts throurh that institution. During the upward movement of prices, the coaler continued conspicuous and the hleh prlced members of the group made new high record. Beyond the general prosperity In that Industry there wa no news to explain the movement. The meeting being held In this city of organizations in the steel trade to consider advances n the prices of different lines of finished products gave a firm tono to the steel Industrials. Tho-Republlc Steel utocks wero helped In addition by gossip regarding the probable dividend action at tomorrow's meeting. Tbe announcements of the entry of United State Steel and General Electric In terests Into the American Locomotive direct orate was taken to explain the rrevlous ad vance 1b that stock. The coming meeting of tho Amalgamated Copper directors for action on the dividend eave occasion for a speculative movement In that dock. The day's net move ment was Inconclusive and Uwt closing tone wa easy and at small loses as a rule. Honda were Irregular. Total sales, par value, $3,000,0uo.
