HOPS AT BOTTOM
Prices Are Not Expected to
Go Lower.
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

.MiMMK)

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.

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.

Reports received yesterday at the lo

of Commerce and Labor, show Portland
to be fifth on the list in point of grain
shipments' for the first seven months of
the cereal year. 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.
Cereal shipments of the year have
been greatly lessened by the inability of

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. Wash., Feb. 21. The
steam schooner Eureka, owned by the

loaded with lumber for the same port.

Railroad Commission Bill Will Be
come Law Legislature Appoints.
HELENA, Mont.. Feb. 20. The Railroad
Commission and Warehouse bill is now a
law. 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."
