THE MORNING OREGONIAN, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 25, 1903. 15 LUST WEEK TO PICK Hop Harvest Will Be Complet ed by Saturday! KREBS BROS.' CROP IS IN German Market Has Advanced Three Cents and Has Upward Tendency Trade Views or the London Factors. HOPS Picking will be concluded this week. WHEAT Firm and fairly active. OATS Some sections cleaned out. BARLEY Dealers not buying freely. FRUIT Good demand for peaches. EGGS Oregon ranch higher. BUTTER No change In local situa tion. This week will ace the wind-up of picking In Oregon hopyards. Most of the small yards and some of the large ones - have comaleted their harvest. The Kreba yards at Brooks and Independence finished yesterday and their Portland pickers will be brought home this afternoon. John Krebs, who came down yes terday, says that . only two days were lost since picking began. No mold to speak of developed In the yards. The crop was not as heavy as figured upon early In the season, but exceeded the' later estimates. The Ray yard, at RIckreal, was finished yesterday and showed an Increase of more than 15 per cent in yield. Picking at Witch Hazel will be- completed by the middle of the week and the crop there will show the &ame Increase. Witch Hazel samples that have been received show excellent quality. Several of the large' yards In Polk County are backward In their operations. The Hirechberg yard will not be entirely picked before Saturday. The 1908 market has not opened yet. Aside from the movement In Fuggles, only two or three lots of spot hops have been sold. No great degree of activity is expected for some timer The market in Washington is also lifeless... "From the reports that have been received. It Is evident that the matter of quality Is going to give a great deaj of trouble there. The California Crop Is coming down heavy and, from the advice received yesterday, will run from 03,000 to 100.000 bales. About 2000 bales of over-rlpe hops are the result of the recent hot north winds. Yesterday's German cables reported an ad vance of 3 cents In the German market, with likelihood of a further advance. English cables reported unchanged conditions there. The Kentish Observer, of September 6, eald of the crop outlook: Nearly all the reports from growers who have commenced picking and a start has been made pretty generally speak of the hops as coming down short of the estimate in many Instances to the extent of from 2 to 3 cwt. per acre. It seems to be extremely doubtful whether the average yield per acre will be equal to that of the short crop of 1004. and If It Is not the aggregate production miut be considerably less, owing to the further de crease in the acreage. The quality of the hops so far is exceptionally good, but it re mains to be seen what the later sorts will be like; many grounds are feeling the effects of the tropical heat and the protracted drought, and red mold Is extending. In all districts there are many acres that will not be picked In consequence of the blight, and to this num ber may yet have to be added & certain per centage of the crop ruined by atmospheric con ditions. . In their annua) circular, W. H. & H. Le May, of London; say: With regard to the American competition with which the English grower has been threatened for the last two months, we believe that the first estimates were very much too high, as their markets have been rising con tinuously, and are now on a par with ous own, and it looks as If their brewers, who have an ever-Increasing trade (their output now being 03.000.000 barrels), have been buying for their future requirements, fearing that Eng land may take more than they can convenl. ently spare. The continental crops are any thing but favorable. We think that the con tinent will not be able to spare more than 60.000 cwt.. and If America sends 125.000 cwt. pwe shall have a total of 175,000 cwt. to sup plement me rJngnsn growth, which will be somewhere In the neighborhood of 280,000 cwt., or, say, in round figures, home production and imports, 450.OO0 cwt. together. The consump tion Is at least 700,000 cwt. and the deftctency of 250,000 cwt. will have to be drawn from the stock at present held by the brewers (as outside their holdings there is not 10,000 cwt.). The brewers alone are able to form an opinion how many hops they will fcave left on the 1st of September. 1907. Manger & Henley, of London, estimate the English erop at not to exceed 200,000 cwt. "There Is nothing to fear from continental competition," they say, "and calculations of the yield in America are constantly diminish ing, so that before the 1907 crop can be put on the market consumers must again be very short of supplies." WHEAT MARKET FIRM. Farmers Not Selling Readily on the Ad vance Outs Moving Well. A fair degree of activity is reported In. the wheat market, but farmers have not been selling readily since the advance set in. The tone of the market yesterday was firm. Barley rules rather duiet, as buyers are holding off. The oats market continues strong with a lively movement in the interior, where some sections are being well cleaned out.

Although Eastern eggs are plentiful, the pries of Oregon ranch stock, because of their scarcity, steadily advance!. Yesterday ths market was quoted firm at 29 cents. The price of Eastern eggs remains steady. Not enough poultry came In to make a mar ket. Indications point to a continuance of last week's good demand. No changes have taken place in the butter situation. California Sal ways Sell Well. The fruit market was lively during the day. A car of California Salway peaches was un loaded and, being in fine condition, sold read ily at IK) cents to $1. Arrivals of Oregon peaches were light. Oregon grapes were plen tiful and there was a moderate supply from California. Another poor car of sweet po tatoes came In. Bank Clearings.

SAVED BY LATER RALLY Miscalculation of Significance of Sub-Treasury Figures Cause of the Liquidation Government Relief Measures Looked For. NEW YORK, Sept. 24. Disturbed sentiment over the money market Induced considerable selling pressure on the stock market today and it was not until accumulated selling or ders had been worked off to some extent that a recovery set in. The rally had about wiped out the early losses by the middle of the afternoon. The early selling was reinforced toa, con siderable extent by short selling for account of professional bear traders. Their operations were encouraged by a misreading of the sig nificance of the subtreasury figures, which showed on the face a withdrawal of $412,000 from the banks since the bank statement. The inference that the banks were poorer In cash to the amount than shown in the bank state ment was, however, unwarranted. The false Impression is due to the extraordinary amount of confusion in accounting caused by the op eration of the Treasury's methods of assist ance to Importing of gold. The apparent loss by the banks on subtreasury operations is due to repayments of advances made to them by the Government against engagements of gold for Import in accordance with the agreement of the banks when they should receive their conclgnments of gold shipment. But the re payments are made with the newly arrived gold and are not withdrawn from the present cash reserves of the banks, as the subtreas ury accounts seem to Indicate. Some of the professional selling Induced by miscalculation of this Item was covered later In the day and helped to they rally. There was not much change in the money situation, or rather in the procession of events which 1b drawing tighter the money market. The weekly arrival of South African gold In London furnished material for New York's demand which yielded an additional en gagement of about $1,000,000. There were no withdrawals from the Bank of England for New York account and no further supply was secured In Paris. The bidding for the gold In London advanced the open market rates a fraction. Discounts hardened also In Paris and Berlin and expectation was reported of another rise In the oftclal rate of the Imperial Bank of Germany this week. While the official rate of the Bank of England remains at 4 per cent, that Institution demands 4Vi per cent on American bills and 6 per cent for money. The prospect, therefore, is for much smaller engagements of gold this week than last. Routine subtreasury operations also are making a drain on the banks although not in the proportion suggested by the wrong In clusion of the repayments of gold imports. The Government institution was accreditor at the clearing-house this morning to the extent of $668,923. The principal factor In this showing was large transfers of deposits due at Interior points, banks of interior drawing on their New York correspondents to pay obligations to the Government. A deposit of $150,000 at the Subtreasury was for the purpose of telegraphic transfer to St. Louis. The scarcity of funds In the time-loan mar ket continued. In view of these conditions the conviction grew that Treasury relief for the money market was essential to enable it to meet the October 1 demands upon It. The belief that such measures were Imminent was general late in the day and contributed largely to the improved tone of the stock market. The late recovery became decldely strong, but the only stocks to yield any considerable net gains were the Harriman Pacifies, Atchison, Reading and Amalgamated Copper. Bonds were easy.

FIVE-EIGHTHS CENT GAIN Small Movement and Higher Cables Cause the Firmness Offerings Only Moderate Break In Corn Prices. CHICAGO. Sept. 24. The sentiment in the wheat pit was bullish all day. The total arrivals In Minneapolis were reported at-416 cars, against 8S1 cars for the corresponding day one year ago. This small movement caused an active demand here for wheat and with only moderate offerings the mar ket developed considerable strength. The firmness was accentuated by an advance in the price of wheat at Liverpool. Trading during the first hour was active. Toward mid-day the market reacted on selling by local longs, but soon became strong and held firm for the remainder of the session. The market closed strong. December wheat opened S'c higher at 74731c, sold up to 75V4c and closed c up at 73 c. The feature of the trading in the corn pit was selling of the September delivery by a leading local long. 'This caused a de cline of lc a bushel in the price of that option and brought about a moderate' de cline in all other deliveries. The market closed firm with December Htfiic up at 4243c. Local receipts were 042 cars, .with 375 cars of contract grade. Liberal local receipts and the weakness of corn depressed the oats market early in the day. Later, However, the market became firm on good buying. The close was firm. December closed c up at 83 33 c. Provisions were llrm all day on a good general demand. Shipments of lard and meats were large and the price of live hogs advanced 310c. At the close, January pork was up 1012Vfcc at $13.32 V, (S) 13.35; lard was up 2t45c at H7.S2 V4 7.S5; ribs were 24 5c higher at $7.12. The leading futures ranged as follows: WHEAT. Open. High. Low.
