HOT "ACTIVE HERE
But Hop Markets Are Booming
in Other States.
MOVEMENT IN YAKIMAS
Heavy Trading Yesterday in Sonoma
and Russian River Sections of
California German Mar
kets Very Strong.
HOPS Buyers turn their attfntion
to othr tales.
POULTRY Low prices cause chick
ens to move.
EGGS Firm and advancing.
BUTTER Local market in bettor
shape.
FRUIT Bananas arrive too ripe.
MEATS Good demand for veal' and
pork.
Hopbuyera have lor the time being side
tracked Oregon hops and are now giving
their attention to the California and Wash
ington product. Some men In the trade be
lieve the change Is due to the wretched
car situation In this state, which In th4
past Tew days has become worse than ever.
Others look upon 11 as merely the shirting
c-C operations, cucli as often occurs during
the buying season. At any rate, business
was slack In Oregon yesterday, while buy
ing was vigorously carried on in Washington
and things were booming in California.
A telegram received from California last
evening reported extremely heavy buying in
the Sonoma and Russian liiver sections.
The prices paid were 1- to 14 cents to
f rowers, according to quality. The telegram
old not state which firms were operating.
The activity in Washington was mainly In
the Yakima country. The largest deal there
was made by Poole, who bought 500 bales
from George R. Rankin at 12 cents.
No details of business in this state were
obtainable, but It was learned that Klaber,
Wolf & Netter made some purchases at Sll
verton and at McMinnville. Clem Horst was
also reported to he In the. market, but at
lower prices th:in he paid earlier In the
week for his best purchases. One of the
lots secured by his buyers a few days ago
was that of 11 Ayers, at Junction, aggre
gating 60 baKn. The prices paid were said
to be 6. 9 and 12 cents. Horst yesterday
took In the fcieavey Bros.' lot at Eugene, 330
bales, at an average price of 12 cents.
A German cubic received yesterday reports
ptocks in that country almost entirely ex
hausted. The market has advanced 3 cents
and there Is every prospect of a further ad
vance. Everything offered In Germany Is
being taken.
The Kentish Observer of October 8 con
tains the following review of the English
hop market situation:
"The principal demand now In for the
choice East Kent growths, which, on ac
count of their superior quality are In great
favor. A large number of growths have
been cleared at prices ranging from 0 tfs
tn 7 7 per cwt. Mid-Kenta are quoted at
Hi to 0 Ks. The inquiry for Weald and
Sussex Fuggles has frlackened somewhat, and
where sales are forced the prices are the
turn in buyer favor. A small business is
passing in the higher priced German
growths for mixing purpose' but Pacific
'oiist descriptions are not keenly sought
after in view of their disappointing qual
ity." LOW P KICKS MOVE MORE CKICKENS
Small MarkelM Lay In Supplies While Fowls
Are Cheap.
Sates of poultry yesterday were the larg
est of the week. Chickens came in freely all
day long and up to the middle of the af
ternoon went out about as fast. It was low
prices, however, rather than any genuine
demand, that moved them. Some coops were
sold early In the day at 11 cents, but the
bulk of the business was at 10 cents flat.
This price was not satisfactory to growers
and shippers, but was the best that could
be done under the circumstances. With- the
railroad troubles, all the receipts had to
be taken up locally. The small markets
were the principal buyers. Live ducks, geese
and turkeys moved fairly well. Dressed tur
keys are coming in freely, but the demand
Is not yet strong enougu to take up all the
offerings.
The egg market was "firm and active. Some
sales of fresh Oregon ranch were reported
at 37 cents.
The butter market showed improvement,
both on Front street and with the city
creameries. An advance In city-made butter
in the coming week Is probable.
Good Market for DresKed Veal.
There Is a very good demand in the
dressed meat market for fancy veal.
Prices are exceedingly firm and will
doubtless continue so, as receipts will be
light from now on. There is a fair Inquiry
for pork and prices are steady, but the time
is now approaching when lower prices can
be looked tor. Mutton Is in light supply,
high and firm. Dressed beef is steady.
Bananus Arrive Too Ripe.
Four cars of bananas arrived yesterday,
but most of them were too ripe. The first
car of late crop New Jersey cranberries
came In and were offered at $1212.50 per
barrel. Express receipts of grapes were fair
and met with steady demand. Italian
chestnuts are now on the market at 14 Vi
15c per pound.
Bank Clearings.
Bank clearances of the leading cities of the
Northwest yesterday were:

STOCKS FLUCTUATE
Sharp Rise at Opening Loses
Its Effect in Late Reaction.
TRADING OF LARGE VOLUME
Great Northern Ore Land Settle
ment Does Not Have the Ex
pected Effect Southern
Iron Merger Rumor.
NEW YORK, Nov. 22. The stock market
still showed etrength and breadth of activ
ity today. In some instances tho advances
were sensational. The character of several
of the stocks which were thus affected,
however, was such that the sympathetic ef
fect on the general list was unsettling
rather than stimulative.
The publication of the terms for partici
pation of Great Northern stockholders in tho
benefits of the ore lands contract did not
have the effect expected. The valuable na
ture of these benefits was beyond dispute,
but this transaction has Berved so long as
the mainspring of one speculative medium
after another, while held in the confines of
vague conjecture, that doubts are felt as
to what can take its place with equal ef
fect, now that it Is definitely outlined, and
therefore placed without the realm of spec
ulation. This impression on sentiment was
clearly manifested In the movement of
Great Northern preferred Itself, which start
ed downward from the outset. Northern Pa
cific moved in sympathy.
The feverish fluctuations In St. Paul also
kept sentiment constantly shifting. The most
substantial example of strength in the mar
ket from the speculative standpoint was
Union Pacific, which moved aggressively
away from St. Paul, after having been
crossed momentarily by the 7 per cent payer
earlier in the week.
Revived discussion of a Southern Iron mer
ger was reflected in 'that group, of which
Virginia Iron. Coal & Coke was the eon
splcuous figure, with a buoyant rise at one
lime of 13 H over last night. The coalers
also made sensational jumps, apparently
on the drawing of an analogy between the
Great Northern distribution and what might
result from a separation of coal mines and
lands from rnllway company ownership. A
great many low-priced Industrials were con
cerned in the movement at one time or an
other. The course of the call-money market
showed that tho factors of relaxation were
not as rapidly effective as was indicated by
the later course of yesterday's market
There was no rise to 10 per cent, as in the
earlier dealings yesterday, but the ruling
rate was maintained about 7 per cent until
late In the day.
The Increase In gold holdings by the Bank
of England was a satisfactory development
and the decline In gold holdings of the Bank
of Franco by its relinquishment to the Lon
don market was offset by a scaling off of
credits.
Domestic developments were less satisfac
tory. New York exchange at Chicago fell
back to a small discount after 'having ruled
at 20 cents premium when the week opened.
Another $500,000 was transferred to San
Francisco through the Sub-Treasury. The
late money market continued strong and
very, little was offered. The rate was 7
per cent bid up to three months and 6 per
cent hid and OH offered for six month's.
There was a marked decline In speculative
confidence, with the progress of the day and
a decided reaction in prices from the high
level. Net losses were as conspicuous as
gains at the end of the day and the closing
was weak.
Bonds were irregular. Total sales, par
value. $2,104,000. United States 2s regis-
ktered advanced H per cent on call.

Kail Sown Grain Comes Up Well.
GERVAIS. Or., Nov. 22. (Special.) Fall
sown grain Is coming up fine and Is making
a splendid Winter stand. (
Potatoes are still In the ground and will
remain" there until weather conditions are
more favorable. The Fall frosts were mucn
later than usual and accounts for the late
ness in gathering this crop. Th-prospects
are for a light yield and not extra quality.
Hop sales here are few and those who
have large lots are In no hurry to sell as
they claim choice quality and better pros
pects in store for holders. It Is difficult
to estimate the quantity being held by grow
ers here.

MRS. ALTGELD'S STRUGGLE
Brings Suit to Save Sole Remnant of
Governor's Fortune.
CHICAGO. Nov. 22. The Record-Her
ald today says:
Possession of one of the principal sky
scraper office buildings in Chicago, the
interests of Mrs. Emma F. Altgeld, wid
ow of ex-Governor John P. Altgeld, and.
Indirectly, the memory of the ex-chlef ex
ecutive of Illinois are involved in litiga
tion now pending in the Circuit Court
which promises to become a cause celebre.
Through the pleadings already of rec
ord in the suit runs the story of the fu
tile attempt of one man who had the
highest honor in the gift of his state, to
combat the combined Influence of power
ful interests in his fight to recoup his
vanished fortune; of his steadfast adher
ence, at the cost of failure to regain his
financial standing, to the principles
which had brought him absolutely bank
ruptcy and of his death at last, with his
estate wiped out, his home mortgaged
and his widow dependent on the kindly
offices of his friends to put her beyond
absolute penury(
At the approaching session of the Illi
nois Legislature an appeal will be made
by friends of John P. Altgeld for an ap
propriation for a public monument to his
memory.
The Unity building. 79 Dearborn street,
erected by ex-Governor Altgeld in 1892 at
a cost of about $800,000, now valued at
something in excess of $1,000,000 and yield
ing an annual rental of more than $40,000,
Is the property at issue. Before his death
he saw it slipping from his grasp, and,
despite his desperate efforts to retain
control, at his death his only interest was
equity of redemption in the stock of the
company which he formed to exploit the
venture.
The sole legatee of the ex-Governor
was his widow, and her only tangible in
heritance was the equity in the stock
which her husband had hypothecated in
one last desperate effort to save his
holdings.

All Kinds for Farmers.
DENVER, Nov. 22. The National
Grange convention today adopted reso
lutions reported by the committee on
agriculture condemning free seed dis
tribution by the Government as being

tion of the Jaw.

tional law to protect farmers against
the sale of nursery stock not true to
name, the committee reported the refer
ence or the matter to the various state
Granges, with a recommendation that
they endeavor to secure protective leg
islation In their respective states. The
report was adopted.
On a resolution asking CongTess for
an annual appropriation for the ex
tension of agricultural education, the
committee reported favorably and the
report was adopted.
The co-operative committee's report
was adopted. It recommended co
operative creameries, elevators, savings
banks, trust companies, buildings and
loans, warehouse, grange, tire insurance
companies and co-operative marketing:

bility for their management or obligations.
