THE HORNING- OREGONIAN, "WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 7. 1906. 15 TOHELPHOPMftBKET M. H. Durst Explains His Plan for Benefit of Growers. TO FINANCE ARRANGEMENT proposes to Ship Portion of Unsold Crop to London to Improve Mar ket for Remainder and In crease Values of 1 9 0 6s. HOPS Plan of Durst for improve ment of values. POTATOES Some shippers expect Improvement Jn market. ONIONS Dull and weak. EGGS Local market lias steadier tone. POULTRY Good. . domand for chickens. .. . BUTTER Top grades work off. M. H. Durst, of Wheatland, CaL, one of the largest hopgrowers of that state and well known to nearly all the raisers of hops In Oregon, reached Portland yesterday. He has a plan for the material betterment of the hop market from a growers standpoint, which was outlined in former communications to this paper. Mr. Dursfs purposes arc stated in detail in the following letter: Referring to my proposition for each hop holder to ship a portion of his hops out of the "United States, in order to benefit the homo market for the remainder, and to In crease values for the 1000 crop, as outlined la my loiters published In tho Issues of your dally of November 28 and December 1 and 3. 1003, I "wish to announce that I have come to Oregon ready and willing to handle and finance the arrangement as suggested. It must be evident to everyone that If grow ers will at once take the initiative we can stimulate the present market, perhaps In a marked degree. There are by all admissions not over 15,000 bales of 1905 hops left In grow ers hands in Oregon. Dealers are buying up me balance as fast as possible. "Within six.' to eight weeks we will probably ee all of the hops out of growers' hands. Then If the market advances, as it suroly will, who is going to make the profit? Not tho grower, because he has sold out. If we ship even 5000 bales out of the coun try from Oregon, Js there any doubt but the market will advance from 2 to 4 cents per pound? With only 10,000 left in grower' hands In Oregon February 10, . can the mar ket decline further? .It must advance. And that will also help the outlook of the 1000 crop. I am ready to go ahead, and if growers wish to help themselves, now is the time to do it. I want to get in touch with every holder of hops In Oregon. If, after consideration, any ono thinks the proposition not a bdslncss-llkc one, and not calculated to help him Individu ally or to strengthen ,tho present and future market, then he is justified in refusing to co-operate. Ae soon ias the best time and place for a meeting can be decided upon, I will ask all of the holders of hops to meet me In order to fully discuss the matter, and finally decldo on action. I would sincerely advisp every owntr of hops In 'Oregon "not to sell another hale until he investigates this proposition. Regarding 1004 hops, It seems to me a grave mistake for holders of good hops to sell them on a basis of 0 cents. They are intrinsically the best value on the market today, and deal ers know It. It is much easier for 6-cent hops to advance 23 per cent to 50 per cent in value than for 12-cent hops to advance In the same proportion. London is the only good market for 1004 hops. And all such hops bought lately are for that market. Every bale of sound 1904 hops sent there on a 6-ccnt basis will show a handsome proQt within 90 days. The English brewer wants these 1004 hops for Immediate use! There are some 2000 bales of 1904s left In Oregon. I would like every owner of such to come and see me or write me here, l want to get the 1904s together and then I will cable London on the whole lot. and arrange for owners to get an advance without recourse, of nearly as much as dealers are now offering them to buy outright. Then it we secure the business I will pay the expenses of a growers- repre sentative to go to London and see that the growers have a square deal. Can there be anything fairer than this? Who Is taking chances? Not the grower, for he gets nearly all his hops are worth at time of shipment. There is a good chance that bye time these 1904s reach London they will sell readily to net growers from 7 to 0 cents for them f. o. b Oregon. Durst Bros, have 1C50 balea of 1904 hops, -which they will put in on the same term?. Wc are ready to co-operate with Oregon grow ers to ship S000 to 10,000 bales of hops from this Coast to London, because we are absolute ly sure that this is the only thing that can materially strengthen tho market, and be cause it will also help the market for the 1000 crop, -which is of Vital Interest to every hopgrower on this Coast. M. II. DURST. 23 RukoI bldg.. -Up and MorrIwn. Portland. HOP MARKET LIVELY. OTer Eleven Hundred Bales Changed Hands Yesterday was the liveliest dav in .M.rat eeks in the local mlrki nZ weeks In the local market. Over 1100 bale were purchased from growers by Portland deal ers, and numerous transactions took place between local dealers. The most Interest ing business of the day was the. sal , ,- "United States National Bank of two lots, that offered on the market some time ago. These were grown by Chinese on land , . nun icura irom Krebs Bros, at Independence. Tho largest int consisted of 261 bales and was Voucht hv consisted of 11 l,nlM .nfl E. Clemens Horst Company at 94 cents. Maurice Rheineteln secured the better lot, 127 bales, at 10 cents. Mr. Rclnstcln also bought another lot of 70 bales from tho bank at 9 cents and paid oyt mentis for 70 bales at La fayette. Dr. Nichols old 185 bales of hops from his ranch near Oregon City to A. J. Ray. The price was. understood to be something under 9 cents. Seavey & Metzler purchased 120 bales at Fisher's Landing around S cents. Another S-cent purchase, involving 100 bales, is said to have been made by a local dealer, but the facts were not obtainable. The Sam Wal lot of SO bales, grown on the Shipley ranch, was secured at 94 cents. In addition to their purchase from the United States Bank the Horst Company also bought 100 bales from Stein, of Mlddleton, paying 94 cents. po sales of old hops were reported yester--fiay. but the strongest kind of a demand was said to exist for them, quite a number of New Tork dealers who ha'o not heretofore been in the market for tbcm sending in orders. TRAMP CARS OF BANANAS ARRIVE. Otto Bought by a Local Firm, the Olker Seat oh to the Sound. Two tramp cars of bananas reached tbo yards yesterday, and one was stopped ,Jere and -the other allowed to go on to the Sound. A mixed car of cabbage and cauli flower also arrived. 'Sweet -potatoes are Arm and higher on the advance at San Francisco. Cilery bl&s fair to become scarce, as Cali fornia growers wire that owing to the strong Eastern demand tbey will be unable to fill orders for definite shipment. The orange market Is also very firm. Potatoes arc dull and unsettled, but ship pers believe the slump at Ran Francisco will work Itseir out and that better prices may later be realized. Onions are a drug on the market. A EGO MARKET STEADIER. r -r Temporary Decrease la Receipts Causes the Street to Clean Up. The egg market was much steadier yestei day than It has been at any time since tho decline began. Receipt fell oft somewhat and this, with the Northern shipments of tho previous day, left available stocks under re quirement. Prices quoted were from 23 to 24 cents. The Improvement, however, is not likely to be more than tcmnorarT. as this Is J the laying season with the, hens, and prices may drop again today. Poultry receipts were light yesterday, and, as was expected, chickens were In good de mand. Geese, ducks and turkeys, though, did not sell readily. , Creamcryroen report that top grades -of but. tcr are working off readtiy, but other kinds are not in such demand. Bank Clrarisgs.

It Is now evident that the transactions originated for the most part within the- wall of the exchange.

Great Northern 23 per cent, and Illinois Central 8 per cent. The regular dividend on Canadian Pacific disappointed some epecukv tlve holders who sold the stock, with conse quent weakness. The price of copper was lower in London and here, bet Amalgamated Copper was In concert with the rest of the market.

Feb. & During the first hour of trading the wheat market waa Inclined to be -weak. Opening quotations on May -were unchanged to Uc higher, at S4J'QSlTic Tho demand tras not sufficiently active to prevent a small decline, and the prices of the May option soon dropped to &4844c The mar ket then became stronger because of buying by shorts who -were driven to cover by Brad street's report of the world's visible supply, which showed an Increase of only 732,000 bushels for the week, compared with an In crease of 5.300,000 for the same period a year ago. Other factors strengthening the market were reports of damage to the Fall-sown crop from Kansas City and St. Louis, an Import ant demand In the Southwest and Northwest for cash wheat and a prediction from New York that export business would soon show a marked Increase.
