1 THE MORNING OREGONIAN, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 1906. 13 SLOW IN OPENING Hop Market Unusually Back ward This Season. ONLY TWO SALES SO FAR Dealers Are Too Well Supplied. With Contracted Hops to Take Much Interest In Spot Goods. a HOPS MaTket slow In opening. FRUIT Active demand for Summer varieties. POULTRY All kind sell well. . EGGS Ranch stock scarce and firm. BUTTER Better arrival on Front atreet. MEATS Large veal coming in. It haa been se-eral years since the hop mar ket was as slow and backward In opening as Is the case this season. Usually by the time the crop is half picked the selling movement a on in full awing, but so far this season only two sales have been reported, and both of them small ones. Growers are not at all disposed to let go now at the prices that are offered, and dealers are likewise holding off. The orders that are in are at prices that will not touch farmers' hops. The trade Is also watting to see how the question of quallty wlll work out and which will not be settled until a representative quantity of samples is at hand. The real reason for the slowness of the market, however, can be traced to the large number of contracts written before the crop was grown. Something like half the production of Ore gon has already been sold in this way, and this fact is bound to operate against any very active movement in the early part of the season. Buyers have to an unusually large extent filled their early requirements and will now stand back and watch developments. Tho future course of the market, as the trading element views It, should, therefore, be pretty closely indicated by the action of the trade In the next few weeks. Reports were received yesterday of the com. pletlon of picking In quite a number of yards. Ths largest yards have nearly a week of work ahead of them yet. There is still much talk of mold, but the apprehension seems to be less than it was a few days ago. It Is re marked that the hops are looking much bet ter In ths bale than they did in the bin. Some samples from what were considered very moldy yards show scarcely any blight. An order was received by A. J. Ray & Son yesterday for the shipment of a good-4lzcd lot of hops to Hongkong. This is the first order that has been received from China for Oregon hops, so far as known. The New Tork hop crop, which has been gathered by this time, is seid to be of ex cellent quality. Reports as to the size of the yield vary. The Cooperetown Farmer says the crop in that section of the state will fatl from one-quarter' to " one-third short of last year. In Schoharie County, according to the 8choharle Republican, the yield will not ex ceed that of last year. The paper adds: "This la also true of the crop in the state." The Oneonta Herald makes an estimate of 15 to 29 per cent of the 1003 crop. The. Watervllle Times says: Only & few of the largest growers are pick ing, the majority having finished early in the week. Nearly all report an Increased yield over last year of from 15 to 20 per cent, and some higher. The hops are rich In lupulin and free from all attacks, so that the quality is cbolce. There have been a few sales at 20 cents, but business is not brisk at that price, for the reason that growers are firm for a higher figure. 6MALL YIELD IN WOODBCKN DISTRICT. Mold la Bad and Making Rapid Strides. Mt. Angel Yard Abandoned. WOODBURN, Or., Sept. 19. (Special.) The yield of hops In this section is very disap pointing to growers. Jacob Miller's ten-acre yard, which last year produced 800 boxes, this year has but 21T boxes. James Hunt, on 17 acres, will 'only have two-thirds of last year's crop. Frank Bushey, on 18 acres, last year had 1600 boxes and this year 700 boxos. William Johnson picked 1000 boxes on IB aores in 1005 and but 500 boxes this year. The Kennedy estate of 80 acres will have half the crop of a year ago. Mold is very bad and making rapid strides. Foggy mornings, followed by warm sunlight are destroying thousands of boxes of hops every day. Some yards near Mount Angel have Just commenced picking operations, and at least one 18-acre yard has been abandoned because of mold and red spider. The yield of Woodburn district, though with a largely increased acreage, will fall below the yields of 10O4 and 1005. 6TRONO DEMAND FOB POULTRY. Eggs Are O noted Firm Butter Not Bo Scarce on Front Street. There was a strong demand for poultry yes terday. Induced In part by the approaching Jewish holiday. Firm prlcea ware quoted throughout the list. The egg market was strong for fresh ranch stock, tho supply of which as decidedly short. Ons leading handler reported that his total receipts for ths day were only five cases. There Is a good movement In Eastern eggs and where they are sold as such there is not much complaint. The butter market was unchanged. City creamery grades were quoted firm at SO cents. Front street prices on the best offerings ranged from 87 H to 80 cents. More than the usual ' quantity of off-grade butter is coming In and 25 cants Is the best that can be dons with it. Arrivals on ths street are picking up slightly. ACTIVE DEMAND FOR FRUIT. Car of New California Figs Distributed Along the Street. There was a good assortment of moat kinds of fresh fruit yesterday and trading was active. No carlot arrivals were reported. A quantity of Southern Oregon Mulr and cling peaches cams In by express. A car of Cali fornia Salways Is due today.

ONLY OCCASIONAL RALLIES Speculation as to Manner of Financ ing Purchase of Baltimore & Ohio by Union Pacific. Xeeds of Money Market. NEW YORK, Sept. 10. 8tocks were under pressure today which, while not severe, was persistent and at considerable expense of values. There were occasional signs of sup port in the market, but an apparent unwill ingness to follow up the occasional rallies after the desired effect had been secured of checking the downward course of prices. The money situation came into more promi nence again, although there was contnued discussion of the wide bearings of a possible acquisition of the Baltimore & Ohio by the Union Pacific. The market failed to re ceive any stimulation from this discussion and tome anxiety was felt over the possible consequent es to values of so far-reaching a readjustment of existing railroad policies as Is Implied in the new departure. The manner of financing the purchase of th-3 Baltimore & Ohio stock, which is ad mittedly under, negotiation. Is a matter of lively interest to Wall street, in view of the multitudinous demands already over hanging: the money market. For this reason plausibility was given to the suggestion that' an exchange of Pennsylvania's Baltimore & Ohio stock for Union Pacific's Atchison hold ings would facilitate the financing of the project and would be In line with the new policy outlined by opening a trans continental outlet for Pennsylvania within Its own control. The question of capital needs was given added force by the announcement of an issue of nearly $30,000,000 of New York Central's $10C,000.000 authorized stock and by the proposed issue of $10,000,000 of the sub sidiary Cleveland. Cincinnati, Chicago & St. Louis stock. An early Issue of this stock has been clearly foreseen. In view of the denned financial needs of the company In enormous Improvement works. Wall street temper Is affected by renewed presentation of such topics in the light of current con ditions. Special attention was directed today to the mercantile paper market. Rates ruling at above 6 per cent and up to. 7 per cent foi the best grades of mercantile paper were pointed to as marking a condition not helpful to the progress of business affairs and as higher than seems to be warranted bv the actual volume of activity in the com mercial world Itself. Opinions In this sense were heard among bankers in Wall street and dissatisfaction was expressed of undue cxten::tn of speculative employment of money with such conditions existing. It was the supposition of some observers of the market that moral pressure from bank ing quarters was being brought to bear on rpeculative bortowtrs to refrain from push ing (their demards. A further rise In the Bank of England rate tcmcrrow is probable and the world wide upward tciult-ncy of money rates and the approach of the period of the October settlements were urged as a warning to caution. In other quarters it was urged that the extension of the money stringency to quarters outside the stock market was evidence of the real shortage of supplies and a call upon the Treasury authorities to use further measures of relief. The arrival today of $10,000,000 in gold shipments repre sents tonds which have been at the disposal of the tanks by deposit of Government funds pending their arrival and are now to be cov ered back Into the Treasury. Having served the purpose of money market relief until the gclu arrived, the Government funds are again available for further use. It Is not probable that pressure will be lacking toward urging upon the Treasury Depart ment such renewed use of the Government supplies In the money market. Something was made today of possible additions to loanable funds - on Friday by the Issuance of administration papers on an estate in whicn money loans are an Important ele ment. Speculative liquidation was most marked In Reading, In consonance-with Its recent preponderant place in the advance. But sell ing was quite general through the list and the declines more than usually uniform. The closing prices showed some recovery from the lowest, but covering by room shorts had much to do with the rally and the clos ing was irregular. Bonds were Irregular. Total sales, par value, $1,448,000. United States bonds were unchanged on call. CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS. Closing Sales. High. Low. bid. Adams Express 275 113 42 i Amalgam. Copper. . 12O.900 115 Am.

CABLES ARE ALSO FIRMER Shorts Are Driven to Cover and Their Buying Is One of the Features of the Day Corn and ' Oats Higher. CHICAOO, 8ept. 10.

JAIL COOLS HIS TEMPER Clackamas Farmer Will Give Vp Habit of Beating His Neighbor. OREGON CITY, Or., Sept. 19. (Special.) "I will kill Kublsch and then shoot my self rather than pay one cent of fine," was the threatening declaration made in Justice Court today by Rudolph Aegerter, when a fine of $10 was imposed for twice assaulting and beating Richard Kublech, a neighbor. The first offense was excused of Aegerter, but when he proceeded a sec ond time to thrash his neighbor his arrest was caused, and, pleading guilty, the minimum tine mf $5 was fixed in each case, Aegerter, after being In Jail 25 minutes, relented, and, admitting his willingness to pay the fine, and to desist from beat ing Kubisch, he was released from cus tody. The men are neighbors, living on tree Abernethy, near this city. Aegerter seems possessed of a mania for chastising Kubisch, and Justifies his conduct by claiming that his neighbor keeps half starved animals on his farm. Ex-University Student Paroled. OLTMP1A, Wash.. Sept. 19. (Spe cial.) Governor Mead today paroled G. N- Adams, whose real name is Alex ander M. Gardner, sentenced in King County to ten years for burglary in March, 1904. Gardner is of good par entage, and was formerly a student at the State I'niversity. Gardner said he used an assumed name and pleaded guilty to shield a woman In whose house he was arrested.
