SOME LOOK FOR ADVANCE Brewers, It Is Pointed Out, Iluve.Xot Vet Bought Eumi&n to See Tliem Through Shorts Must Yet Cover. The friends of the hop market have not lost heart, thousrh prices have dropped to 10o for good prime and Oc for fair quall tle. Thpy believe not only that the market has touched bottom, but that some recov ery Is Inevitable before long. The decline of 2c to He since the first of the year was occaotoncd by the pressure of prowers to sell. This desire to unload was to he expected under the circumstances, as business was practically at a standstill and buyers were indifferent. With no demand ap parent, many of the. farmers became fright ened and forced their hops on the market without much regard to price. Selling by dealers, in some cases at a sacrifice, aug mented the weakness. The result was that values descended practically to the cost of production where they now stand. A long as the grower could gel out with ome profit, however small, he was willing td let go. but few of them care to sell be low the cost of growing the hops. This Is proved by the reports of a number of dealers who returned from the country yesterday where they went to try to fill orders. Much to their surprise they found that the hop proweis, who a short time rro had ap peared so weak, had since become firm In their views and flatly refused to sell at the current prices. Nuv and then a holder can ' he found who needs cash, but the growers, as a rul are not weak, however much they may be dissatisfied with the market. It cer tainly Indicates a chantfc frorrt the condi tion a of last month, when the little busi ness that Is offering is further restricted by the actions of the growers. There are several reasons for which these growers base their hope of later improve ment, which views are also shared by many of the dealnrs. In the first place, the Ameri can brewers, though they claim to be stocked up, have not yet secured their 1 year's requirements, if the figures avallabte I are trust wort hy. Tho following table shows f approximately the quantity of hops disposed oof by growers in the four American states, ir shipped from the producing sections: Bnles. lot). WO .MiMMK) 61. "(10 OS.OOO Oregon Washington California . New York . Total 2G7.0O0 Of this amount 30,000 bales have gone abroad, while 50OO bales of foreign hops have been Imported, leaving 'JHH.OOO bales ostensibly in brewers possession. It is a fact that a considerable amount of the farmers sales have been made to specula tors, which will still further, reduce the nrewers holdings. Probably 10 per cent of the Oregon shipments, alone, are of this nature. The American consumption is placed by Mr. Uchmund at 270.000' bales and by Mr. Llllrnthal, who Is on the other side of the market, at 200,000 bales. From this it must be inferred that the brewers will still -Tluve to buy considerable quantities, unless they are carrying over more from previous crops than is generally s-upposed. Even If the brewing trade has bought from the dealers all the hops required, it la pointed out that many of these are "paper" hops. March and April deliveries are bound to be considerable and when the short sell ers are compelled to cover, they must pay the going prices and these prices w ill be made by the action of the farmers. The relative cheapness of hops is expect ed, of itself, to stimulate buying before the season closes, as the long-headed brewers are frequently given to buying against the future crops when the price is low enough. When this demand comes, if it does come, the trade .will have to look to Oregon for there Is little that Is attractive left in the holdings In other states. A California let ter yesterday placed unsold stocks in that state at 30,000 bale. In Washington there Is something like 15.000 or 17,000 bales left and In Oregon the estimates run from 15, eOO to SS.OOO bales. New York is practical ly sold out- The total is large, but a great proportion of the supply is poor and Oregon Is the only state that has a sufficient quan tity of good quality from which the trade can now draw. For these reasons the growers and many of the dealers are satisfied that prices can go no lower than they are now. ( Eggs Decline With Regularity. The egg market took another jc drop yesterday with 22 to 22 &c quoted in the af ternoon as the ruling price. Most of the dealers asked 23c in the morning without doing business. At the close of the day al most any of them would have cleaned up at 22c and some would have taken less. Receipts were up to expectations. A fair amount of poultry came In, but buyer were Indifferent. Prices show m change. California Butter Coming. Several- shipments of California 'butter will reach this market Friday. If they ar followed by any considerable quantity, the movement may have a weakening effect on the local market, as the receipts of but ter from creameries outside the city are slowly ' increasing and the make of the city creameries Is also growing. CahhHge Becomes Rnuvf. Yesterday's receipts of fresh produce in- eluded one car of cabbage, three of banana and one of oranges. CabbUge has become rather scarce on the street and is firmly quoted. Celery has cleaned up well and it is said no more will arrive for several days. Hank (iearinga. Bank clearances of the leading cities of the tNorthwest yesterday were: Clearings. Balances.

DAY'S NEWS IS MEAGER II u mors Are Again Made 'the Most Of Japanese Situation Conies In for Consideration Har rimaii Investigation, NEW YORK, Feb. 20. The lethargic con dition Into which the stock market lapsed today was significant of the decline of inter est. Professional limits of the narrowest description confined the trading. There was nothing discernible In the market to reflect developments In the general condi tion. The material of the day's meager dealings largely dealt with conjectural de velopments rather than with actual oc currences. There was quite elaborate argument ex pended on the probabilities -of success or defeat of the currency measure in Wash ington. Wall street has set up a standard of large importance for this measure in its bearing on the market outlook which Is not fully shared by bankers and others, who re gard It strictly from the side uf its prob able Influence on the money market. The proceedings which are to be resumed next Monday hy the interstate Commerce Commission into the affairs of the Harri man railroads offered another field for sur mise. There is a lurking apprehension that disclosures may be made that will add fresh fuel to the flames of public hostility to corporations. A threat to the sustained prosperity of the country was alleged from the baiting of corporations by two railroad presidents and a gloomy picture was pre sentid of the necessity of discontinuing divi dends and even of submission to bankruptcy by minor railroads, which would be the natural consequence. In the prevalent mood of the market and its partiality for surmise, the Japanese sit uation came in for some consideration again and was given a potentiality for possibility of harm to Uie future of the market. The r.elling of Southern Pacific was again the most influential factor in the actual trad ing. Professional operators claimed to de tect evidence of selling for Inside account r-f that stock and they took the bear side of the account In consequence. The closing tone was easy. In the money market rates for time loans were advanced to bring them more into conformity with the rate on cor poration note issues. Bonds were easy. Total sales, par value, $l.li54.inio. United States bonds were un changed on call. CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS. Closing Bid. 285 11214 43 'a . 102 32 88 220 2i-. 82 1614 30 73i,i 111 1441j 1141rj 134 9514 293 Sales. High.

Portland's exports for that time are considerable in advance of those of the entire Sound country. Port land's supremacy as a shipping point is clearly demonstrated. During January. Portland sent foreign 842,998 bushels of wheat, as compared with 60S.324 bushels from all the cities of Seattle, Tacoma, Everett, etc. Flour shipments from the Sound were greater during January than from Portland but not large enough to reduce the grain lead to any extent.

MANZiXITA GOES TO DRYDOCK Alteration of Od Liighthoutie Tender to Be Begun Today. The Manzanita will go to the drydock this morning and as soon as passible will 'be lifted for a few minor repairs before she is again placed in commission. When the alterations have been completed the Manzanita will operate as a deep-sea tug and will tow lumber barges between Portland, Gray's Harbor and San Fran cisco. The Manzanita was' formerly a Gov ernment vessel In the service of the lighthouse department. For many years she was commanded by Captain Gregory, now master of the Heather. Eighteen months ago she was sunk in the Colum bia River, below Coffin Island. At that time she was commanded by Captain Byrnes. A large hole was torn in her starboard side abaft the bunkers, and she filled so rapidly that the crew escaped with the loss of all their personal ef fects. The boat was purchased by Daniel Kern, after she had been raised, for $13, 500. This price included all her equip ment and furniture. For some time she has been tied up below " the Burnside street bridge, on the East Side. The Manzanita was built in 1879, but is still sound. She is one of the old-time craft and is constructed of heavy oak. Her boiler and engines are in good shape. HOLD MARKIAGE IS VALID. " Captains May Perforin Ceremony According to Law, Mariners Say. The union of Carl John Beckman and Nettie Anderson, who were married at sea by Captain McLellan, of the steamer K. A. Kilburn, is valid, according to masters and sea-faring men now in port, and also according to United States At torney Bristol. That the Government allows masters the right to perform such ceremonies is shown by Section 4290 of the Revised Statutes, which makes it compulsory on the captain to enter all such mar riages pn the official log of his vessel. Captain Spires, of the United States En gineers, who has been a steamship master for many years out of San Francisco, states that he has known of many rases where the captain has performed the marriage service and no question was ever ' raised. When the log of a master is filed in the Customs-House, the wed ding is then a matter of record and all the county officials in the country cannot alter the same. tTaptain Conway, super intendent of water lines for the O. R. & X. Company, lias perfdrmed several mar riages at sea and recorded them. Two years togo the English law cover ing marriages at sea was revoked, and none save naval officials are now per mitted to perform the service. Steamer Eureka Returns Leaking. SEATTLE.

The bill went to Governor Toole today, who Immediately referred it to the Secretary of State with the notice that he would allow the measure to become a law without his signature. He objected to the power and policy of the Legisla ture naming the commissioners, saying he was convinced that the method is wrong in principle and will be found bad in practice. "But." he said, "realizing the demand for a Railroad Commission bill, I shall allow it to become a law without my approval, rather than interpose a veto, which at best could only serve to vindi cate my opinion on a mere matter of policy."
