DEMAND FOR YEARLINGS Large Quantity Being Put Away Against Possible Shortage exl Season German Market Is Easier. HOPS Less inquiry by Oregon dealers. POULTRY Light receipts of dress ed turkeys. EGGS Active and unchanged. BUTTER Market top -heavy and jvcak. POTATOESr-Buying ceases in val ley . FRUIT Large shipments of grapos by steamer. The "week in tbb hop markel has not opened promisingly, so far as the volume of business is concerned. Only ono transaction wan re ported yesterday, the sale of the George Doris crop at 8 cento to T. A. Llvesley iz Co.. of Salem. The hops were grown In Lane County and are choice in Quality. Sales aggregating BOO bales took place at Salem Saturday even ing, but the particulars are not known to the trade, here. A private wire from San Fran cisco reports rales of choice Sonomas at 9 to lOtf cent. There has been an active move ment in "Washington lately. Since buying the Patterson lot at 11 cents, McNeff Bros, have purchased 1000 bales at 5. C and ".cents. A letter from a New York firm received yes terday by a Portland dealer, in oxplalning why an offer roado had been rejected, said: "Brewers arc being offered good Coast hops at 10 to 12 cents delivered here There is one thing certain; our market must either advance or yours must decline before any large amount of business can be done." Some Interesting news Is contained In the latest English papers received, which state that the crop is rapidly pawing out of grow ers' bands and that large quantities are go ing into storage against a possible short crop next year. The Kentish Observer of Novem ber 2. said: During the past -week a very large business has been done In the large growths, which are quickly being absorbed. The proportion of flnt East and Mid-Kent Goldlnga left on offer Is limited, and' for theso the prices continue to harden, though no higher figure Is as yet offered to growers. Medium to low samples are obtainable at less money than wan given two or three wtks ago. ' It is believed that mere than two-thirds of the crop has now changed hands. Besides the heavy purchases for consumption, large quantities of hops are being put Into cold store In view of the prob abll'ty of a small crop following this season's heavy one. The feature of the week has been the very extensive demand for yearlings, the quantity of which has now been subrtontlal ly reduced. Present prices to growers: Fin est East and Mld-Kcnts. 09e0s; choice, 50ff 60s; medium. 33-54 .V?; choice Weald and Sus sex Brambllnge. SGGOu: finest Fuggles. MM?

The quantity of hops imported Into .Eng land In the -week ended October 21 was 2S50 cwt, against 14.623 cwts. In the correspond ing week last year. Wild Neamo & Co.. London, report: A good Inquiry still prevails on our market. The demand still runs principally on the bft liops, tho supply of which ts becoming some what restricted. Values arc Arm, but un changed. The Exchange & Hop Warehouse. Limited. 3xndon. report: A good business has been done during the week, a large quantity of hops having changed hands. The demand Is still chiefly confined to the best samples on the market, and prices for these showa harden ing tendency a the supply is becoming 'lim ited. Middle qualities arc passing in large quant'tles, but prices show little change. There is also a demand for lower quality hops. The Worcester market on Saturday was very sparsely attended, and trade ruled quiet with-, tut any quotable alteration in values. Medium and low lots remain unsold in considerable quantities, but growers find Increasing diffi culty In disposing of any but choice quali ties, which are tjow seldom offered. Last week 2027 pockets of this season's growth passed the jJubllc scales, making 22,343 weighed to date. More business ha been done In yearlings, of which 450 .pockets were weighed. Tho latest reports received from Germany ere that that market Is- weak and quotations ere from 5 to 7 marks lower. Poultry Receipts Light. Not enough poultry come in yesterday to make a market. A few stray lots of dressed turkeys were received and were generally quoted at 18 to 20 cents, though a quotation of 21 cents was made by one dealer. Live turkeys were held at 174 cents for the best A. good egg trade was reported by all deal ers. Fresh stock was scarce and sold read i'v at 35 cents. . Eastern eggs were Arm at 26T27 events. It is the same old etory in the butter mar ket. Stocks are top heavy, but prices are being maintained. Potato Buying Ceases. Potato buying for shipment has practically ceased In the Valley, pending the settlemont ct the market at San Francisco. Shippers yesterday were offering C5 and 70 cents for etrictly fancy Burbanks. but reported scarcely anything doing. Farmers were not ready sell ers at these prices. The fruit and vegetable markets were quiet, Tvlth but little new stuff on hand. Some grapes arrived, but were slow sal. The steamer today will have among the other shipments a large lot of Vcrdol grapes. Decline In Turpentine. A new price card on turpentine quotes -a decline of 4 cents per gallon from the prices made on October 10. The new quotation Is 87 cents per gallon in cases. Grocery Notes. New Klllisnoo Alaska, herring have arrived in market. Sulphur matches advanced ' 5 cents yester day. New walnuts continue to arrive and grade better than last year.

MONEY RATES ARE EASIER Trading Xo Ixjnpcr Is Purely Pro fessional Renewed Strength In Pacifies of Xbtablc Ef fect on Sentiment. NEW YORK. Nov. 20. Dealings In stocks expanded today , to the largest total yet made during the present peculaUve movement. Vio lent movement: In Individual stocks, not usu ally prominent in the trading, continued to be a characteristic of the market- The market was eo broad that active profit-taking went on a good part of the time side by side with rapid advances at 'other points in the Hst At no time this season has the market ook4 lees prof (Clonal than k H4 today, but at no time has the appearance been so highly spoeulatlre. The development of a de cided movement In any quarter was quick to attract a heavy following, buying in some cases being on an apparently unlimited scale. Recent pool favorites had their place la the leadership of the market, but there was a substantial showing of standard railroad and IndtHOrial stocks added to the movement. The renewed strength In the Pacific was of notable effect on sentiment. Southern .rail road stocks continued promlnrst. apparently 1b nympathy with the extraordinary move ment la the Southern stel industrial. The inciting factor In the later group was the dUcvsskMt of a probable merger. Other Iron and steel stocks moved la sympathy, but the United Slates Steel stocks proved notably laggard. American Smelting continued read ily responsive to the operations which iwhed It up to a new record price. Other metal and smelting rtocks were helped by this and by the Increased dividend declared by the Calu met & Heel a Company- The speculation In Reading was also actively ptxhed. although that stock failed ,o reach Us hlghcsr record price, and II. R. T. was an active feature. The special features In the speculation will ac count for gains running all the way from 2Ja to over 11 points. Money rates worked eaMer. aad this was the prime stimulating factor on tho specula tion. The more roawuring conditions In Rus sia were believed to be a rafeguard against renewed pressure on our money resources from foreign quart on. Hondo wore Arm. Total sales $4.355,i00. United States bonds were all unchanged on call. CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS. ' Closing Sates, High. Low. bid. A da me Express 240 Alain. Copper 3.700 NV-i SI SSY. Am. Car & Foundry..

Heavy Shipments From Russia and Danublan Torts Cause De cline at Ijlvcrpool. CHICAGO. Nov. 20. The wheat market to day was weak from beginning to end. At the opening the May option was off 6C at S7 STc. There was mueh to encourage the bear. Heavy contributions from Russia and from ports on the Danube swelled the total shipments of the work! for the week to 13. S60.000 bwihels. compared with 11.50S.000 bushels for- the corresponding week of last year. The wheat market at Liverpool was ff4c lower, the decline there being attrib uted to the large Rurolan exports and to the continued heavy pressure of offerings from Manitoba. In this country, the movement con tinued heavy under favorable weather condi tions, and the volume of wheat was said to be constantly increasing. Demand came princi pally from shorts. From S7flS7e. which point was touched soon after the opening, the price of the May delivery gradually declined to S6c The market closed weak, with May c lower, at S7c Com. following what. was weak. The mar ket eloeed with prices practically at the low est point of the day. May opened f?lic to He lower, at 44Q4tc to 41c. sold up to 44Ji4lc. and then declined to 43 c. Final quotations were c lower, at 43 941c. Sentiment In the eats pit was bearish. The market closed weak, with prices at almost the lowest point of the day. May opened a shade to x.c lower, at 32UJ32c to 32e. sold off to 32.c. and ckeed at 32c. Provisions were dull and eteady. Interest centered chiefly In lard, which was In fair demand by shorts.

LIMIT IE OUTPUT Hopgrower Has Plan'for Im proving Market. HE URGES GO - OPERATION Proposed Organization to Take Steps to Reduce Production to Nor mal Requirements Four States In Movement. EUGENE. Or.. Nor. 20. (To thcEdltor.V Since you have always ehown a kindly feeling for the farming class. I take tho liberty of asking a little space in which to make a few suggestions to my fellow hopgrower?. Wo are aware of the fact that during thr past few years tho hop acreage of the rjorld. and particularly of the United States, has been enormously Increased. We arc also aware of the fact that with ordinary crop conditions the yield of the United States will be great ly In excess of home requirements and ordi nary export demand, with the necessary re sult that prices In the future will be far from remunerative. With auch conditions confronting hepgrewers. wc hare three al ternative!, open to us. First, we can go out of the business. To do this means a loss of nearly the full amount we have Invested in hophouses. furnaces, bal ers, poles, wire. etc. as they will be prac tically valueless for any; other purpose. Second, wo can continue to raise hops, help swell th already existing surplus, see our neighbors go to the wall, while some of us may Indulge .the fond dream that In the end we may survive the long period of overpro duction and low prices that seems to be in evitable. Third, we can take a more sensible course, the course universally followed by shrewd bus Infss men who And themselves situated as we now arc. We can Join with our fellow hop- growers in a general plan to limit our output to something like normal requirements, and can then continue bualneen with a reasonable expectation of moderate profit. Each grower has the Individual power to elect whether he will go out of business or continue as long as his finances will permit; but to form a general plan to limit produc tion requires concert of action, and It Is to bring about such concerted action that these suggestions are made. I have talked with many growers, and If their views are a true Index of the general feeling, there should be no difficulty In our getting together on a busi ness basis. Oregon is the greatest hop-producing state In the Union, and Salem U tho .center of the hop belt of Oregon, therefore. I would suggest that the growers near Salem call a meeting to be held there In the near future to discuss the situation and devise plans for the betterment of our Industry. With Oregon leading, there is little -doubt that Cali fornia. Washington and New York will fall In line on the same plan. In fact, plans should be formed which should embrace the four states. While I am not wedded to any particular plan, for there may be many plans that will better accomplish the desired reeult. I merely offer the following for your consider ation. Let a meeting be called nt Salem In the near future, the Invitations to be extended to all bopgrowers of the Coasf. At that meet' Ing let the state be divided Into hop districts. Let the meeting determine what per cent of the acreage of the state Is to bo harvested, leaving it to each grower whether he will cul tivate the unharvcated part of his yard or not. Let the meeting appoint committees from each district to ascertain and report the acre age of their district, together with the names and acreage of all growers who favor and all who oppo!e the agreement. Let notice be given to the bopgrowers of t other states of what wc arc doing, and Invito them to take similar aeUeft. When the state Is fully canvafeed and the reports are sent In to Salem. If It h ascer tained that enough acreage has been secured to warrant further action, the growers of the other states will be notified that Oregon will limit production to a certain extent, pro vided they will do likewise. If similar action i takon by the other states this state will proceed to erganlxc en the following lines: In each district a corporation will be formed with the number of shares of capital stock equal to the number of acres In the district. the shares to be of a nominal value of, say, from 2c to $1 per share. Let each grower In the district subscribe for the number of shares equal to h!s acreage, and agree to harvest only such percentage of his aerrage as shall be ngreed upon. At the end of the season let him render a statement under oath of the number of bales produced, of the acre age harvested and the acreage unharveuted. Ie t each shareholder report to the corporation any hopralier who refuses to Join tr-e cor poraUon. together with his acreage. Let each corporation in the state supply to each of the other corporations a list of all the hop- growers in tXelr respective -districts who are members of the corporation, together with their acreage, also a list of all tho growers In the district who refute to Join, together with their acreage. Y By a plan of this kind each corporation could look after matters of general Interest to the Industry sueh as supplies, informa tion as to crop condition, prices, etc. and It could enforce a general observance of good faith among such of Its members as might feel disposed to overstep the limits of their ob ligation to their fellows. This plan will lave you the sole owner of your crop and will In no way hamper you In Its disposition. It gives you information or every grower In the state who is standing with you for the gen eral welfare as well as Information of those who by staying out and refusing to limit their production, hope to make greater gains at the expense of forfeiting your esteem. There will be sueh. but that should not de ter us from, acting for the common good. Besides those whose selfish Interests may prompt them to remain out of the agreement In the hope of deriving profit from condltons created by their mere unselfish neighbors. other powerful interests will do what they can to thwart any such plan as herein pro posed. Notwithstanding all that, the remedy Is entirely in our own bands, and should-be easy of application. It remains to be seen If we will stand alone and continue to- bo the victims of circumstances entirely within our control, or modify those unfavorable con ditions by methods universally adopted by men of business sense. 1 1 OPGTtO WE R. .
