Newspaper Page TextlS THE MORNING - OREGOJUAN, TUESDAY, OCTOBER, , lUb ORDERS FOR HOPS Trade Expects Market Soon to Open. 8UT HEAVY DEMAND LATE Estimates or the English Crop Made by London Factors Poor Out look for the Industry in That Country. ! HOPS Market expected soon to open. WHEAT Strong tone to market. BUTTER Ctty creamery price to advance. EGGS Oregon scarce and firmer. FRUIT Bananas arrive In fine shape. VEGETABLES Steamer assortment due today. There Is a feeling in the "hop trade that the market is about to open. It is known that a number of large orders have come in In the last few days and they are said to be at prices that will permit of business. A cufflcient quantity of hops can also probably be secured to fill the orders. No very great amount of activity, however, is expected for two or three weeks yet. A great many early contracts will have to be taken in and these will keep the Oregon dealers busy for some time. The arrival of Eastern orders in bulk is dependent on the reception ac corded the Oregon samples now on the way and the same applies to the foreign demand. Aside from the Li-cent sales to Lachmund ft Plncus at Si 1 vert on, announced in this paper Sunday, the only other recent transac tion reported was the sale of a small lot of about 40 bales at Aurora at 16 cents. The buyer was said to be II. J. Miller., A few lots have been sold in Washington at 14 to 16 cents. A letter from a dealer in that state says: 'Harvesting in Washington Is about finished and the quality will be noth ing extra." A San Francisco wire gave a dealer's estimate of the California crop as exceeding 100,000 bales, and reported no business passing. Word comes by way of New York of a sale of SOU bales at Sacra mento at 14 cents there.. The annual circulars of a number of Lon don factors have been received. Their esti mates of the English crop of llWB are as follows: Manger & Henley, not over 2H0.000 cwt. W. H. and H. LeMay, about tisu.ouO cwt. Wests, Jones & Co., from 24u,uuo to IHSO.OUO cwt. J. N. Noakes & Co., nnt over 11.10, 0n cwt. Hook & Field, from 2tiu.0U( to -M,uOO cwt. L. Latter Ac Sons, l!Sl,Ouo cwt. From the report of Wests, Jones & Co., the following significant statement is taken: The acreage has how fallen to only 40,722 acres, a reduction since last year of no less than 2245 acres, and a total reduction of 4, 005 acres from the highest point. This result has been brougat about by one cause only, and that is the unreniuneratlve prices realized by growers, who complain that .the aggregate crop is nearly always sold for" less than the cost of production, and unless brewers now Approach our market in a fair spirit, and writ give such reasonable prices as will make this year a prolitable one, we fear the reduction of acreage will continue until the English hop, which, with its great superiority of. flavor, is, after all, the brew ers' greatest asuet in brewing, practically oes out of cultivation. On the same subject the threatened loss of England: prestige as a hopgrowlng country the circular of J. T. Noakes & Co. says: Brewers will be well advised to be some what lenient to growers as regards price, especially after the extraordinary sacrifices they have made to save even this email quantity. Another very important factor in tne situation for them to bear in mind is the large reduction in the acreage under culti vation since last year, and if remunerative prices are not forthcoming for the present growth, we believe the brewing trade will not be long in having the seriousness of their error made very apparent to them by the wholesale grubbing which is place before another crop is gr : sure to take grown. . A private letter received from an English ;rower contains the same information, that 'there will be much grubbing, unless prices are better than 7 or 8." The Pacific Coast can raise choice hops at a minimum cost of production, and as the industry de clines in England It is pertain to grow here. It certainly looks as if England must ulti mately get out of the race and if any plan could be devised to stimulate her progress In that direction it would vastly stimulate hopgrowlng in the Pacific States. It has been suggested that a big block of hops, of about 40,000bales, be dumped on, the Eng lish market, which might knock out at least '10,000 acres. It is a question, however, whether the Western growers would enter tain such a scheme now in the face of good prices that all of them are anticipating. WHEAT MARKET STRONG. Good Move-merit In the Interior Weekly ;rVila Statistics. There is a fair movement In wheat in the Interior, but conditions here are still some what unsettled by the dock trouble.

None of the six local establishments had gone above the SO-cent mark up to the close of business last evening, but one of them expected to put out the higher quo tation today. Front etrect was liberally. supplied with a weak undertone, but any decline there will probably be prevented by an advance In the city creamery price. The egg market was unchanged with fres"n ranch stock quoted firm at 30 cents. An other car of Eastern eggs arrived. Receipt of chickens were small and the sale poor. A quantity carried over from Saturday were still unsold last evening. BANANAS IN GOOD ORDER. San Francisco Steamer Will Brine; Assort ment of Truck Today. Four cars of bananas arrived yesterday. They were in fine condition, ripe and turn ing. A car of lemons was also received. A car of sweet potatoes was due in the morn ing, but did not arrive until last night. Grapes were In plentiful supply and most of them good, though some of the receipts from The Dalles showed the effect of rain. Some fine Salways were received from Rogue River and brought $11.10.

STOCKS GAIN STIFFNESS October Requirements Will Be Dis tributed Throughout the Month. Better Bemund Is Also Shown for Bonds. NEW YORK. Oct. 1. Wall street braced luself for the shock of a possible call-money flurry today. The bracing was so effectually done that a considerable show of strength re sulted when It turned out that there was not much of a money flurry after all. The call loan rate went to 9 per cent early In the day and prices wavered, as it was feared that this might be the precursor of worse to come. But the amount of funds attracted by the rate proved sufficient to carry It - lower, and the stock market promptly stiffened again. The strength was rather spotty and was sus pected of manipulative origin for sustaining effect on the general list,, but the unobstructed advance of a few of the most prominent stocks proved ample to reassure sentiment. The market became very quiet when the firm ness had been established. While the prin cipal requirements for October come upon the first of the month, some of them are distrib uted through the month. It la usual for the stringency caused by the turn of a quarter to endure (several days, owing to delay in the return of the funds distributed to the chan nels of the money market. For these reasons there remained a spirit of caution In extend ing stock market operations, a advances in the money rates are considered. There la considerable Increase in the con fidence, however, that effective progress has been made in securing resources toward meet ing the heavy demands for harvesting purposes ahead of the money market. The strengthened position of the New York banks, as shown by the last two bank statements, contributes to this feeling. The day's principal movements show the large part played by the ore .lands deal, the St. Paul and Southern Pacific merger and a coming 6 per cent division for Atchison, all still In the form of rumors and renovated for new ue after doing service many previous time. The market closed slightly irregular, but with the strong stocks near the top. i There was also a better market for bomls. in contrast with Its recent narrowness and sluggishness. September ealea of stocks were 25,300.000 shares, an Increase of 9,300,000 over last September, while bonds sold In Septem ber at a par value of $42,850,000, or $25,247,000 less than in last September. Total sales, par value, $1,570,000. United State bonds were unchanged on call. CLOSING STOCK QUOTATION'S. Closing Sales. Adams Express High.
