The hop market la practically on a lT-cent
basis. It Is not known that any actual con
tracts have been closed at that figure, but
the paying of the price today would not sur
prise anyone. A number of options at 17
cents have been taken and some at 18 cents,
it la said.
The usual number of rumors were abroad
yesterday. One in which the trade generally
placed credence was that Clem Horst toad
paid 17 cents at Woodburn, but the par
ticulars of the deal were not learned.
The sale of 65,000 pounds of Ladd Sc Reed
hops at 1654 cents also created much inter--est.
A telephone message from Salem
stated that there were many orders there at
16 54 cents.
Dealers who have been keeping track of
contracts estimate that fully three-fourths
of the Oregon crop hal already rbeen tied
up and that not much over 40,000 balea re
main at the disposal of growers. If the ac
tivity continues up to picking time, there is
not going to be much of a farmers' market
after the hops are in the bale.
No cables came through yesterday, as It
was a holiday In England. It is promised
that there will be something doing today
when communication is opened up with Lon
don. The New Tork Journal of Commerce of
August 2 had the following to say of that
market:
Advices from the Coast report 16c paid for
contracts In Oregon, with growers declining
.further business. Up state ISc Is freely bid,
with holders asking 20c. It Is understood
- the brewers have contracted for choice 1906
Oregon hops at 21c Crop conditions in Eng
land are worse, according to cables, and
estimates run below 300,000 bales. Condi
tions are a little better In Germany, but it
is too late for any material benefit to result.
Stocks on spot are practically exhausted and
quotations are nominal.
SALEM GROWERS EXCITED.
Reported Hop Deal at Woodburn Causes
Much Comment.
SALEM, Or., Aug. 6. (Special.) Local hop
trade circles were considerably Interested to
day In an apparently reliable report from
Woodburn that the E. Clemens-Horst Company
had bought 200 bales of hops at that place
at 17 cents a pound. This transaction. If the
story is true," Is Important, not only because
it marks the highest figure reached on 1906
contracts, but also because it is an acknowl
edgement by the Clemens-Horst Company that
the market la going higher an that firm must
buy now to save further loss on its short sales.
It is generally understood that this firm sold
MYinrt vapv Ytnn(vAlv nt nrfrM haHP nn th
expectation of buying at 10 to 11 cents. The
entrance of the firm into the oontract market
and at top figures is taken as evidence that
all hope of getting the goods at a lees price
than here quoted has been abandoned.
The name of the grower with whom the
contract was made today could not be learned.

HONGKONG BPYS FLOUR.
An tl-American . Feeling; No Longer in
Evidence.
Flour exporters find much encouragement
In the orders now arriving from Hongkong.
They are not of ery large Tolume, but enow
a good Increase over previous business, and
what Is more important indicate a subsidence
of the anti-American feeling. Late communi
cations made no mention whatever of the boy
cott. That this Is a thing of the past would
seem to be shown by the fact that the orders
no longer call for the Oregon flour to be In
closed la Australian sacks, an expedient that
'was necessary at the time the feeling against
Americans was most bitter.
The Japanese are still backward as pur
chasers. It was thought they would be in the
market heavily to anticipate the advance in
the Japanese tariff, which becomes effective
October 1. but up to the present time they
have shown no disposition to stock up. It Is
probable they are still fairly well supplied
and there Is no doubt the prospect of a large
harvest in that country also has much to do
In keeping them out of the Pacific Coast mar
ket. A farther Influence may have been the
recent course of the wheat markets on this
side, which rather favored lower flour prices
later on.
Whatever may have operated to repress the
Japanese demand, the inactivity la not looked
upon as aa unmixed evil, for past experiences
have shown that excessive buying at any time
has been followed by a cessation of trading
that has proved very unsettling to market con
ditions. CITT BUTTER ADVANCES.
Twsnty-fonr-Cent Quotation Will Be Put
Out Today.
An advance In city creamery butter is an
nounced o take effect this morning. The new
price will be 24 cents, as against 2254 cents
heretofore quoted. The srlnkage In the out
put of cream and the increased ease with
which the surplus has been cleaned up are the
reasons given for the advance. Some of the
city creameries will doubtless object to the
advance, but commission houses on Front
street will have no fault to find, as they
figure that these rises In city prices work In
their favor. The top price oa Front street
remains at 22 54 cents.
The cheese market Is firm at 13 cents,
with large lots quoted '54-cent less.
Eggs were slow and rather weaker yester
day, as receipts showed an Increase.
A slump In the chicken market Is predicted
in the near future. The buying demand is
slow and 'it Is becoming more dlffcult to
maintain prices. '
Shut Out Pacific Coast Wheat
Portland wheat shippers stand a good show
of being shut out of the markets of South
Africa ana) Australia in the future. The gov
ernments of these two British colonies are
working on a reciprocal treaty, which will
probably be concluded, under which wheat
will be admitted at 2d per 100 pounds leas
than from the Pacific Coast or any other
country except a British colasy.
Eastern Sugar Advances.
Two of the leading Eastern sugar refineries,
the American and the Federal, advanced their
quotations 10 cents yesterday. Several of the
others went up last Friday and now all are
together. No change was made by the Coast
refiners. The market is exceedingly strong
and an advance here would be warranted if
normal conditions prevailed on the Coast,
which, however, is not the case.
Fruit Supply Running Low.
The wltolesale fruit market is becoming
bare of stock, owing to the tunnel trouble,
and It Is probable there will be a famine in
some lines before communications are re
stored. Only local shipments came to hand
yesterday.

PRICES LIFTED SHARPLY
New York Market Noticeably Strong
in Spite of Languid Trading.
Good Cains Shown at
the Close.
NEW YORK, Aug. 6. Operations in stocks
started the week with a buoyant uplift In
prices before the impelling force of buying
which showed every sign of eagerness to se
cure stocks, even at the time when the ad
vances in the bid made It necessary to bring
out offerings.
The eaily dealings showed no remains of
the disposition to realize profits which char
acterized the closing dealings of last week.
Instead of that, the market seemed bare of
stocks at the prices prevailing on Saturday
and the wide opening advances were achieved
without any great volume of 6tocks changing
hands. The advance was continued quite
briskly during the course of the first hour.
There was an abrupt falling off In the volume
of trade at that time and brokers on the
floor were almost Idle during the middle por
tion of the day.
There was no appreciable renewal of ac
tivity until the last hour of the session. The
oppression of the extreme heat of the day was
responsible to a large extent for the languor
of the market. The tone was noticeably nrra
In spite of the almost total cessation of the
buying, dealing being limited to smallest frac
tions inevitable in a practically ' stagnant
market. It was this passive resistance of the
market that prompted the traders to renew
the advance In the last hour. A considerable
distribution was affected at the high opening
level, which represented profit-taking on the
lines taken on during the revived specula
tion of last week. This evidently had an
effect In stirring the speculative spirit out
side of Wall street, and -commission houses
had more orders to execute than at any time
since the recent professional movement was
initiated. The London stock market was
closed in continuation of the holiday which
began on Saturday.
Foreign exchange rates here held firm. Rates
for call loans were a trifle firmer than the
average last week, but did not rise to the
maximum of last Thursday. Saturday's bank
statement was the subject of continued dis
cussion. The large Increase In loans and de
posits was believed to be effected by the In
clusion for the first time of the account of
the State Bank. Expressions of confidence
were published, coming from Chicago banking
authorities, of the adquacy of resources to
meet the coming demand for moving the
crops. A reassuring effect was produced by
statements from Washington pointing out the
favorable situation of treasury resources for
rendering assistance to th Fall money mar
ket. Rates of Interest were strongly held and
the supply offering was said to be dimin
ishing. The failure of a fcank in Chicago was with
out effect on stocks. Railway traffic officials
united In declaring that there never was a
time when there was so heavy and diversified
a demand for all kinds of merchandise. Sub
stantial net gains on the day were shown at
the closing.
Bonds were Irregular. Total sales, par value,
$1,409,000. United States bonds were all un
changed. CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS.

EXONERATES BILLY SMITH
Cockney Kid Writes a Jjetter Taking
All the Blame for His Crime.
PORTLAND, Or., Aug. 6. (To the
Editor.) I write to you about the as
sault that was committed & short time
ago at Rainier. There 13 a certain
party in Portland who likes to talk
behind people's backs and when a man
is In jail they have the best of it. I
read a piece in the paper about another
man who, I expect, someone has got it
in for him. This man is Mysterious
Billy Smith, and I expect it is the same
with him as it is with me as they know
they can't do him any harm, so they
try to give him a bad name.
I want everybody to understand that
the assault I, the Cockney Kid, com
mitted has nothing- to do with anybody
in Portland and that Mysterious Billy
Smith knew nothing about my affairs.
I committed the crime and the reasons
that I didn't take all the blame was be
cause the man that hired me to do it
refused to pay me the money I was to
get and turned me down while I was
in Jail. I thought I would get out the
best way I could after being trusted
to do the Job, the man knowing 1 was
the best man he could get because I
can use a little judgment and knowing
I would not kill Fischer with the punch
I gave him. I only wanted to give him
a lesson and put him to sleep for a
few days in the hospital, which I am
sorry I did. but it is no use being
sorry after the milk has been spilled.
The man that turned me down won't
be sorry but once and that will be all
his life and I, the Cockney Kid, will
prove the guilty one the next time.
The truth always wins out in the
long run. I always thought an Amer
ican and a Britisher could stick to
gether, but the man that went back on
mo must have had a yellow streak, as
a full-blooded American wouldn't do
that. So all I bave got to say is that
Mysterious Billy had nothing to do
with the crime I committed. So they
can say and think what they like, but
I, the Cockney, will prove everything
when I am wanted. So if anybody
thinks and has got it in their heads
about Smith, they are wrong.
"COCKNEY KID."
The "Cockney Kid," James E. Rem
ington, who is in the County Jail serv
ing a sentence for assault upon W. Q.
Fischer, of Rainier, in the above letter
tries to set Mysterious Billy Smith
right as having had no connection with
the affair. In his first confession, Rem
ington implicated Smith, but at that
time he was trying to shield a saloon
man named Pierce, of Rainier, who
was convicted and sentenced to a year's
Imprisonment. Evidence at the trial
proved that Pierce hired Remington
to whip Fischer but did not pay him
the $50 agreed uson after the beating
had been done.
Efforts are now being made to get a
pardon for the "Cockney Kid." as he
was Influenced to undertake the task
of assaulting Fischer. The latter is
publisher of a reform paper at Rainiei
and has been active in closing the sa
loons on Sundays and otherwise en
forcing (he laws against the saloons,
which were hitherto laxly observed.
In this way he aroused the enmity of
Pierce and other saloonmen of the
town.
Remorse of "Wife-Murderer.
DES MOINES. Ia., Aug. 6. Because his
wife refused to accompany him home, la.
Mitchell killed her and then soht himself
at Curley, last night. Mitchell fired five
shots into the woman's side. Then he
knelt at her side, begging forgiveness be
fore turning the gun upon himself. He
died in half an hour. They leave six children.

Rain 'Is Reported to Be Causing
Damage to the Winter - Sown
Crop Decrease in the
Primary Receipts.
CHICAGO. Aug. 6. "Wet weather In the
Southwest was the cause of active buying
of wheat by shorts, as a result of which
the market ruled firm all day. Rain, It was
claimed. Is causing damage to ths Winter
wheat crop. In addition to ths demand by
shorts, several of the leading bulla bought
freely. A feature of the day's news which
was favorable to the bulls was a decrease
in primary receipts. Total arrivals today were
1,407,000 Bushels, compared with 1,422,000
bushels the corresponding day a year ago. At
the start the market was bulllshly affected
