THE MORS1KG OREGOXIAN, SATURDAY, JUXE 23, 1906.
HOP PRICES LIFTED
An Urgent Demand Suddenly
Makes Its Appearance.
BUYERS BID UP MARKET
Crop Conditions Never Better in
Oregon and Washington Growth
Is Backward In English Tards,
"Where Vermin is Numerous.
HOPS Renewed demand cause ad
vance in bids.
WHEAT Continued dullness results
from steamer strike.
POTATOES Farmers are offering
freely.
FRUITS California receipts light.
EGGS Eastern arrivals do not af
fect prices.
POULTRY Good demand for chick
ens. BUTTER Price spread not 't
reduced.
The hop market has been given another
lift by an urgent demand that has suddenly
developed. A week ago, when the only or
dwra on hand were at 9 and 9 cents. It
began to look discouraging for the holders,
but In the put two daya buying has b4-n
resumed and as an effect of the spirited com
petition, price have been advanced again
almost to the 11 cent mark. The quantity
of hops In first Lands in Oregon now Is in
significant. The best price realised In this week's trad
Inf was paid to Marcus Smith, of Aurora,
for 57 bales. Several buyers were after the
lot, which wag finally secured by Ed Her
ren, the highest bidder, who paid 10 cents
for the hops. Dachmund & Co. secured 140
bale from Lillenthal at 10 cents, also 30
bales of olds from George Rose, which cost
them 6 cents. L. A. Livesley & Co. purchased
the Hall lot of 24 bale-s at Eugene at 10
cents.
Contracting Is again under way with a good
Inquiry and enough growers ready to sell in
advance to keep the market lively. Most of
the contracts written this week were at 10
cents, though 10 V cents was paid for some
good yards.
Crop reports from all sections of Western
Oregon are exceedingly good. Lice are found
at many places, but It is eaid the visitation
Is not ao severe as usual at this time.
Prospects In the Yakima country are also
bright, according to the Yakima Republic,
which says: "There will be a good crop of
Vps in Yakima this year if the present indi
cation continues to hold out. Every grower
who has been seen says that he will have
the best crop in years. The vines are grow
ing rapidly and the yards are In good condi
tio. The weather has been good for the de
velopment of the vines, but the cloudy
weather of the past few days may bring the
lice out In force. As to the price that will
prevail for this season's crop no one at pres
ent attempts to say. It wll probably be along
the 10 cent mark, as thie is the basis of all
contracts that have been made for this year's
croo." . . ,
The Kentish Observer of June 7 printed
the flrwt of Its special crop reports for the
season. The article is too long to be repub
liehed here. Briefly summarized, It may be
said the English crop on that date was gen
erally backward and that the Aphis fly was
present In most places. In some of the par
ishes the acreage had been reduced since last
season, but the grubbing was not extensive,
while at a few places a small increase In
acreage was noted. The total hop acreage
In England appears to be about what it was
In 1003, 48,iftt7 acres, when the unusually
large crop of 693,043 cwt. was harvested. An
equally large crop Is not lookedt for this year.
Several of the Observer's correspondents re
port damage, more or less extensive, as a
result of a severe hail storm that passed
over Kant Kent on June 1.
Adolf Heller, of Prague, writing to the
Observer under date of June 3, said: "Own
ers are In no hurry to sell owing to the email
stocks and the present gloomy outlook In the
hop plantations. Some time ago fly and lice
appeared in all the Bohemian hop. plantations
and have increased to a very serious extent.
It Is said that growers will have to resort
to washing."
IXiGS HOLD STEADY.
Market Not Yet Affected by Receipts From
the Fast.
The egg market has not yet been affected
by receipts from the East and It looks as if
the only result of the Importations would
be to hold the market steady and prevent any
advance following the lessened ranch arrivals.
Some dealers, however, are of the opinion that
the bringing In of Eastern eggs will break
the market, but the people who are handling
this kind of stock will doubtless protect their
own interims.
Poultry prices were maintained with good
receipts. The market was generally quoted
stead v.
Moat of the city creameries are now quot
ing their ' product at the top of the mar
ket, but It is said a considerable amount , of
20 cent butter is still being sold. The warm
weather. If it .has come at last, will have a
beneficial effect on the market by requiring
a larger proportion of the cream output for
the Ice cream trade.
FRESH FRUITS IN SMALL SUPPLY.
Potatoes Are Offered Freely, but Demand
Is Very Slow.
Three cars of bananas and one of oranges
arrived yesterday, but receipts of deciduous
fruits were again light. Jobbers look for only
a limited supply from California from now
on. Apricots, particularly, are going to be
scarce. There will be some relief about the
middle of next week when two mixed cars
of fresh fruit will be In from the SoutK.
New California apples are on sale and are
offered at the low price of $1 a half box.
A few lots of Oregon apples still remain, but
the best of them are held at a stiff price.
Potatoes are again being offered freely to
the trade by growers who want . to realize
before the new crop comes on. At the mo
ment there is hardly any demand for them.
Bank Clearings.
Bank clearances of the leading cities of the
Xorthwest yesterday were:

Wheat Market Restricted.
The lack of steamship facllltes between
Portland and California ports keeps the wheat
market In dull condition. A good business
would develop were the service to be re
sumed, but noshope is held out of an early
settlement of the strike. In view of the re
stricted market, an easier tendency to prices
Is noted. The general quotation for good
club .wheat yesterday was 72 cents, though
os dealer stated h had purchased a lot
at the low price of 70 cents. Some buying
of blue tern at 75 cents was reported.

TREND IS UPWARD
Further Slight Gain Made in
Stock Prices
OPENING IS UNSETTLED
Demand Still Confined to the Pro
fessional Short Interest South
ern Pacific Is the Leader of
the Rising Tendency.
NEW YORK. June 22. The eelllnj pres
sure which wai bo evident in yesterday's
stock market was carried over into today's
early dealing's and kept the tone of the mar
ket unsettled and weak for a time. During
the course of the morning the liquidation
spent moft of Its force.
The professional bear, who followed the
market actively all day yesterday began to
perceive that their operation, were running
ahead of the current of the market. When
they began to bid for stocks to cover their
short contracts, it developed that the supply
offering for sale was much diminished from
the large volume of yesterday. The recov
ery in price ensued. That the demand on
the recovery extended beyond the limits of
the profeeeional phort Interest did not ap
pear. The action of the market on the rally
was hesitating and uncertain and there was
a marked falling off In the activity of the
dealings as price, recovered to last night's
level and above.
Southern Pacific was the effective leader of
the rising tendency and Its strength had an
Immediate sympathetic effect on Union Pa
cific. The rumors of Wednesday of an In
tended early declaration of a Southern Pa
cific dividend following the more liberal policy
Indicated by the B. & O.. were varied today
by reports of an Intended offer of authorized
preferred stock of the Southern Pacific to
the common stockholders at subscription
rrlces which would prove of value as rights.
No official Information was forthcoming as
to the reliability of these reports.
Another Incident of the recovery was the
revival of the report of a Great Northern
ore land deal with the United States Steel
Coropration which has served many times as
animation for bull campaigns in the stock
market. The Hill railroad stocks responded
quite sharply and United States Steel recov
ered part of yesterday's heavy decline.
The time money market continued very
firm in tone, with an active demand for loans
for seven and eight months. No business was
reported for those periods less than 54 per
cent which represents an Increase over yes
terday's ruling rate. A decline in the quoted
price of copper was an Incident of the day.
While prices were declining in the morn
ing, something was made of reports from
Washington of further steps Impending In the
official movement for the prosecution of trust
officials. The late recovery was only slight
ly interrupted and the closing was firm and
quiet above the top level.
Bonds were heavy. Total sales par value
$1,745,000. United States bonds are all un
changed on call.

clerk of the first Judge of the First Cir
cuit Court, pleaded guilty yesterday to
one of the indictments against him for

hard labor. In commenting upon pleas
for leniency, based upon the fact that
the defendant's shortage had been made

the remarkable prevalence of embezzle

merely nominal punishment. '
