TIIE MORNING OREGONIAN, TUESDAY. NOVEMBER 13, 190G.
IS THERE BOYCOTT?
Eastern Brewers Will Not Buy
Oregon Hops.
NOVEMBER AND NO ORDERS
Consumers May Be Getting Their
Revenge on Growers of This
State Because of Local
Option Movement.
HOPS Eastern brewers may have
boycotted Oregon.
WHEAT Only mills are able to
get cars.
FRUIT Four cars of bananas de
livered. EOGS Firm And active.
POULTRY Demand Is slow.
BUTTER Weaker on Front street.
Have the Eastern brewers boycotted Oregon
hops? That is what the hop trade here
would JIke to know. Orders have been com
ing In from the East so sparingly since the
season opened that It begins to look as If
some concerted action has been taken by the
brewers to put Oregon hops on the black list.
The feeling of brewers all over the country in
regard to the local option movement in Oregon
has been clearly shown In letters that hop
dealers have received, and it Is believed by
some of the latter that a secret understand
ing has been reached by the big consumers to
buy their hops somewhere else than In Ore
gon. At any rate, orders are not coming
here from the East as fast as they should
at this season of the year.
The poor deliveries, due to the car short
age, la blamed for a part of the inactivity
and the heavy contracting before harvest Is
also responsible, In a degree, for the lack of
demand now. Some other reason must be
found, however, for the unusual spectacle of
an almost lifeless hop market in November.
The conclusion Is reached, therefore, by
some of the hop authorities that a boycott
has been declared and that Oregon hop-grow-
ers will be made to sutler for allowing local
option to get a foothold In this state.
Buyers were almost out of the market yes
terday, but plenty of growers were in evi
dence. The pressure to sell was more acute,
particularly In the Aurora section. A few
sales took place there during the day at 12
to 14 cents. Among the Aurora transactions
of the past few days were the following lots:
Chris Gelsy, 60 bales to Lachmund & Plncus
at 1 cents; C W. Crothers, 67 bales at 14
cents; B. A. Montander, 26 bales at 13
cents; C. Boeche. 20 bales at 13 cents.
Klaber, Wolf & Netter bought a few ex
port lots at 15 cents. The E. Clemens Horst
Company was reported to be entirely out of
the market. John Carmlchael on Saturday
boucht . 148 bales from George W. Yergan, of
Aurora. The price Is not learned.
WBEAT ARRIVALS ARE VERY SMALL
Mills Alone Seem to Be Able to Get Freight
Cars.
There Is no improvement yet In the car
situation and consequently no Improvement In
thol wheat market. A few cars are coming
in rto the mills, enough to keep the plants
running. It the mills were idle the China
steamers would have to go out without car
goes, and therefore this branch of the busi
ness is receiving some attention from the
railroad people. But the wheat exporters and
other grain dealers are seriously handicapped
by the car shortage. Prices quoted are more
or less nominal and are a cent or two lower
than they would be If the wheat merchants
could get cars.
Trading in other cereals is also restricted
for the same reason. Oats and barley are
firm, as local stocks have become light. Hay
la also in small supply and Arm. The Gov
ernment contract for oats went to Seattle and
the hay contract to San Francisco; therefore
the filling of them will have no effect on this
market.

Eggs Firm and Unchanged.
There were no changes In the markets for
country produce. Fresh ranch eggs continued
firm up to 35 cents and Eastern eggs were
steady at the former range. Reports came in
from the country that advanced prices were
being paid at some points, but It was de
clared by local handlers that conditions do not
justify any rise now. .
The supply and demand were both poor
in the poultry market.
Butter Is again accumulating on Front street
and la quoted weak there.
Four Cars of Baoaoai Delivered.
Four cars of bananas, three In good condi
tion and one too ripe, were hauled yesterday.
The steamer freight was in good shape except
the grapes, which showed the effect of rain
in California. Some poor local grapes were
also received. The cranherry market Is very
firm, with Ilwacos quoted at $10 and Jerseys
at $10.50 per barrel. Trade in all fresh pro
duce lines was fairly good.
Bank Clearings.
Clearings of the leading cities of the

SELL AT SACRIFICE
Stock Liquidation Due to Call
ing of Loans.
RALLY AT THE CLOSE
Wall Street Is Disturbed by Refusal
of Treasury Department to
Come to the Aid of
Speculators.
NEW YORK, Nov. 12. The money situation
had some effect on prices of stocks today. The
determined abstention from operations In the
market, which was a feature of last week,
gave place to some liquidation. The demand
continued as torpid as Isst week. The selling
was effected only at concessions which were
substantial in stocks where previous specula
tion had been active. The compelling Influence
in the selling was the calling of loans neces
sitated by the deficit in the legal reserves of
the banks cnown by the Saturday bank state
ment. No source of replenishment of cash is
available yet and a reduction of deposits by
scaling down of outstanding credits Is the al
ternative. Holders of securities thus called
upon for repayment seemed reluctant to part
with their holdings and their efforts to secure
fresh accommodations ran the money rate up
to 20 per cent early In the day The local
banks were said to be out of the money market
entirely and funds were available only from
the trust companies and out-of-town lenders.
The large excess over the estimate of the loss
of cash by the banks disclosed by the bank
statement may be due to the withdrawal of
cash by the trust companies. These institutions
are under legal requirement to maintain 4
per cent of their deposits in actual cash in
their vaults. It is believed that the bank
loan contraction of over $35,000,000 in the
last three weeks has been taken over largely
by the trust companies. This would neces
sitate an increase of reserves in their cash in
the proportion of 4 per cent instead of In the
proportion of 25 per cent as in the case of the
clearing-house institutions.
The stringency in the money situation was
aggravated by the maturity of an Installment
of about half the subscriptions at par to
$25,000,000 of St. Paul stock, which, there
fore, called for provision of about $12,000,
000. Operators in stocks were somewhat disturbed
by the explicit assertion of the Secretary of
the Treasury that he would take no measure
of relief for the money market In the present
market. The repetition of the announcement
today was after confident assertions were in
circulation in Wall street that early steps
would be taken to replenish the money market
in spite of the disclaimers of the treasury au
thorities. Opinion Is not united In financial circles as
to the feasibility of treasury measures to give
effective relief at the present time. It is rec
ognized as out of the question to bring about
easy conditions In Wall street except by car
rying foreign markets with this to a lower
basis. Any market relaxation In rates here
will lead certainly to an outgoing of gold to
assist the struggle of the London money market
to adjust Itself to the heavy coming require
ment of the year-end settlements.
The stock market settlement began in
London today and carry-over rates were again
stiff, a rate of 9 per cent being reported at
one time. The rates for sterling exchange had
declined nevertheless under the influence of
the stringent money market and free offerings
of cotton bills. Discounts hardened in Lon
don and Berlin, but the Bank of England se
cured a large consignment of South African
gold newly arrived in London.
The reports of the prosecution In preparation
against the Standard Oil Company, of an in
tended investigation of the Harriman Railroad
combinations by the Interstate Commerce Com
mission and of rumored recommendations in
the coming message of the President, were
items In the day's discussion and had some
Influence in the depression. The considerable
part played by short buying was Indicated
by recovery the latter part of the day, due
to covering of short contracts. The closing was
firm at the recovery. f
Bonds were easy. Total sales, par value,
$2,188,000. United States bonds were unchanged
on call.

WHEAT EASES OFF
Much Selling Pressure in the
Chicago Pit.
LARGE CROP SPRING GRAIN
Liquidation by Commission Houses.
Close Is Quarter Cent Ijower.
Corn, Outs and Provisions
Are Also Weaker.
CHICAGO, Nov. 12. During the early trad
ing in the wheat pit the tone was moderately
firm because of a fair demand by commission
houses. This selling was largely the result
of firm cables and continued small receipts
in the Northwest. Later, however, the mar
ket gradually eased off. Local holders were
free sellers of the December delivery and com
mission houses sold May option. Much of this
selling was based upon reports from the
Northwest declaring that this year's crop of
Spring wheat will prove very large. Selling
by commission houses that have Northwestern
connections seems to confirm this impression.
An Increase of 775.000 bushels In the visible
supply had some bearish influence, although
the Increase for the corresponding time last
year amounted to 1,826,000 bushels. The
market closed easy. December opened c
higher at 73c. sold off to 72c and closed
c to c lower at 7272c.
The Government report was chiefly respon
sible for the moderate weakness that pre
vailed today in the corn pit. December
closed c lower at 42c.
The oats market was weak for the greater
part of the day. December closed c lower
at 34c
Trading in provisions was active and the
tone of the market was weak. Receipts of
live bogs today were 6000 more than had
been expected and this led to considerable
selling by local longs, who bought Saturday
In expectation of light receipts. There was
also moderate selling of January lard by
local packers. ,The demand came chiefly from
shorts. At the close January pork was off
7fil0c at $14.05; lard was down 7610c at
$8.37 and ribs were 5c lower at $7.55.

DUMONT FLIES AT PARIS
Skims Along Just Above Heads ot
Cheering Crowds.
PARIS, Nov. 12. Santos-Dumont made
another series of experiments with his
perfected aeroplane in the Bois de Bou
logne today. At one time he skimmed
along at a height of 15 feet and ot 30
miles an hour for 215 meters, when fear
that his steering propeller would strike
the cheering people forced him to descend.
The right wing of his machine was slight
ly damaged.
Some aeronauts present declared the
aeroplane would soon fly for miles. The
next trial will take place at the Long
champs race-course, from which the
crowd can be excluded.
The principal change in the aeroplane
today was that the side rudder reins were
attached to the shoulders of M. Santos
Dumont, who operated them with move
ments of the body, lie was thus com
pletely successful in preventing the roll
ing motion of the machine.
