WILL HELP HOPMEN
System of Warehouses to Be
Built in the Valley.
COMPANY IS BEING FORMED
Shippers Can Handle the Product to
Better Advantage Than Hereto
fore Growers and Dealers
to Hold Stock.
Th coming Tiop crop of Oregon will be
handled In a different manner from its
predecessors. A company is being formed
in this city to supply the" hop belt with a
system of modern warehouses that will not
only insure proper protection to the hops,
hut will enahle the shippers to handle thorn
to better advantage than lias been the case
heretofore.
It is proposed to erect the new ware
houses at North Yamhill, Independence,
MeMinnvllle. Aurora or Hubabrd. and pos
sibly at Dallas. The warehouses will
be modern In every respect and their size
will vary with the. needs of the district.
They will ho equipped with all appliances
for the proper handling of hops and a fea
ture of each will be a large skylight in
the center to Rive plenty of light for in
spection purposes. While built primarily
for the handling of hops, the warehouses
will be used at other seasons of the year
for grain, hay and other agricultural pro
ducts. f
Both growers and dealers have been
put to great disadvantage in the past sea
on by reason of the poor storage facilities
at the different points in the hop-producing
ectlons. Only at Portland and Salem
could the hops be handled to advantage.
With, the abolishment of the "in transit"'
rate to Portland, it was only possible to
consolidate shipments here for the reduced
car-lot rate by paying the extra local
freight Into Portland, and this in some
cases made the through rate to the East
higher than it was before the so-called re
duction. The growers, therefore, were not
gainers by the lowering of the transcon
tinental rate from Portland.
With the building of spacious warehouses
in the hop-growing districts, it will be pos
sible to consolidate many of the shipments
in the future in the originating territory
and thus give both growers and shippers
the benefit of tht IVi-ccnt rate to the
Eastern cities. Modern, up-to-date ware
houses will also permit the safe storing of
hops until they are ready to be moved,
and will prevent any danger of blue-mold
or other injury from the elements.
The projectors of the new company are
Ernest Well 9, who has had much practical
experience in the warehouse line and who
was until about a month ago, connected
with the E. C. Horst Company, and H. I-.
lart, a well-known Portland hopdealer. It
is proposed to form a stock company with
hopgrowers and dealers as the principal
stockholders. A number of moneyed men are
already interested in the project and will
give it support. The promoters of the new
company are confident that It will not only
he an excellent thing for the hop industry
of Oregon but will itself be a profitable en
terprise. POTATOES SEU AT A DKfXIXE.
Oregon Shippers Lom Money in the San
lram'ico Market.
A San Francisco wire yesterday reported
the sale of a shipment of 107tt sacks of
Oregon Burbanks at $1.40. While not fancy,
the lot graded as very good common
stock and represents a heavy loss to the
shipper at this end. This illustrates the
condition of the market in the Southern
city, and explains why the buyers are not
looking for potatoes in Oregon.
Eastern potatoes are arriving slowly at
San Francisco, but heavy receipts are ex
pected in ."0 days and are likely to continue
during the remainder of the season. Cali
fornia buyers made large purchases in the
East for January-February shipments,
which were held up by cold weather, but
these are now beginning to move, indicating
large arrivals In the Bay City in the latter
part of March and in April. There is also
going to be a free movement of Eastern
Oregon potatoes to the California market,
which Is not going to help prices unless the
consumption should be stimulated, and ex
perienced potato men say the heavy supplies
can only be absorbed by the Inauguration
of cheaper prices.
SleOW IX KlUJSfl THEIR OKDERS.
Hop Detilers Are in No Hurry to Buy, ki
pecting Prices to Kcmalu Steady.
There Is a alr volume of business under
way In the hop market, but the activity
would be greater if dealers were In more
of a hurry to fill the orders they already
have on hand. Some of them have orders
that do not eall for shipment until June,
and as they don't think the market is go
ing to advance, they have postponed their
purchases rather than buy hops now and
pay storage on them.
There a a rumor In circulation yester
day that Carmichael was again in the
market and had bought an export lot at
10", cents, but it was not contirmed. Mc
Klnley Mitchell .purchased about 200 bales
from dealers at 0 and 10 cents. A. J. Ray
bought a lot of 72 bales at It cents, and i
bales at 81, cents, both from growers.
RECEIPTS OF KC.tiS VERY HEAVY,
rricm Go Off Another Cent on Front Street
Thickens Sell Well.
The egg market again showed the loss of
a cent yesterday. Tho receipts were the
largest since the present movement started.
Frlces quoted on the street were 18 and 19
cents.
A fair supply of poultry came in and
the chickens found quick sale. Ducks were
also In' good demand, but geese and tur
keys dragged. ,
The butter market was quoted steady
with the supply and demand about equal.
Good Demand for Celery.
Two cars of celery arrived yejiterday and
met a very good demand. A car of mixed
vegetables is due today, also four cars
of bananas, some of which are known to
be green.

STOCKS TAKE A TURN
Declining Tendency of Prices
Is Arrested.
FAIR RECOVERY FOLLOWS
Approaching End of the Harriman
Examination Is One of the Fac
tors Influential Support Is
Given the Market.
NEW YORK. Feb. 2fl. The rapid declin
ing tendpney of stocks manifested yesterday
was arrested quite promptly today but the
subsequent movement toward recovery was
halting and uncertain.
The recovery did not set in until a
threatening break in prices at the open
ing made a level of prices which added
many important market leaders to the list
of low prices for the year. The strength
of the resistance developed at that par
ticular point proved particularly formidable
to the contestants for lower prices, owing
to the usual reasoning of professional op
erators from the technical conditions of
the market. Increased resistance at about
the previous low level, on the contrary,
leads to an inference that accounts previ
ously vulnerable have been strengthened,
either by furnishing additional margins or
by reducing the holdings In the course of
the temporary rally. "
When prices opened lower this morning
there appeared buying orders for execution
by brokers who are credited with operating
for some of the great capitalists associ
ated in groups. This produced an impres
sion on the minds of professional operators
that effective support was designed for the
market. Iendiqg of money on call by
houses of the same character suggested a
sold-out condition In stock holdings. At the
same time, the demand for stocks In the
loan crowd was keen, and resulted in a
shading of the money rate in order to se
cure certain active stocks for delivery.
Some influence was due to the approach
ing termination of the examination of E.
H. Harriman before the interstate Commerce
Commission, as the speculative markets
are not expected any longer to be affected
by a complete episode.
Reports from Washington received in
Wall Street were of a more hopeful pros
pect for the Aldrlch bill, and this had a
cheerful effect on sentiment. The improve
ment gathered force as the day progressed
and last prices were near the best and
generally well above last night.
Money continued quite firm and foreign
exchange also was Arm on acuount of sales
here for foreign account.
Bonds were heavy. Total pales for the
day, par value. $1,474,000. United States
bonds were unchanged.

STRENGTHNOTHELD
Wheat Takes a Backward
Turn at Chicago.
GOOD DEMAND FOR EXPORT
But Liberal Receipts in Northwest
and Favorable Weather for
Crop Movement Are De
pressing Factors.
CHICAGO. Feb. 26. With the execption of
a moderate show of strength about the middle
of the day, due to covering by the shorts, sen
timent in the wheat pit was inclined to the
bear side. The market opened easier be
cause of liberal receipts in the Northwest
and continued favorable weather for the crop
movement. At the end of the first hour prices
rallied on reports that exporters were buying
heavily of American wheat. An excellent de
mand for cash wheat at all the principal
grain centers in this country also strength
ened prices for a time. The firmness, how
ever, was soon dispelled by the realizing sales
of local longs. The market closed weak. May
wheat opened Vc lower at 78WiC, advanced
to 78f7S'4c and then declined to 77c. The
final quotations were at 77-077'fec.
Increased local receipts and lower prices at
Liverpool had a weakening effect on the corn
market. The close was easy.
May corn opened a shade lower at 4714c,
sold between 47c and 4745j47!4c and closed
at 474fi47'4c.
Oats ruled firm all day. May oats opened
tie lower to ,kc higher at 424 to 42c, sold
up to 42,c and closed at 42iff42Vje.
Provisions were weak on selling by pit
traders, who were bearishly Inclined because
of the liberal receipts of live hogs at Western
packing centers. At the close May pork was
off 25c at $16.40: lard was down 2'c at $0.70;
ribs were 7151HIOC lower at $9.n5.

GETS CHILD FROM GYPSIES
Cliicag'o I-'alhcr liecovers daughter
Kidnaped Year Ago.
CHICAGO, Feb. !6.-After a search of
nearly a year. In which almost every
frypsy camp in the South and Northwest
had been visited, Cecilia Demetro, 12
years old,, daughter of a wealthy Greek
in Little Rock, Ark., who had been kid
naped, March 1, lOOb', was found yester
day in a camp near Thornton, 111. The)
little girl was given shelter at the police
station here last night.
Trace of the girl was obtained by Leo
Demetro, her father, who had searched
for her eight months in vain. Then he
met a gypsy in Salt Lake City, who
learned of his sorrow. The man promised
to inform him should he ever hear of the
camp in which the child was held.
Accompanied by tour deputy Sheriffs
Demetro went to Thornton yesterday.
Just beyond the outskirts of the town is
a camp consisting of more than 100 tents.
It was there that Cecilia was held pris
oner. When the Greek coppersmith and
his companions arrived, the girl was
playing on the prairie with several other
youngsters.
Before Demetro could reach his daugh
ter he was thrust aside by John Joe,
king of the camp, and who is said to
have kidnaped the child. Joe burst from
a tent and seized Cecilia as she was
about to spring into her father's arms.
In an instant hundreds of gypsies .were
swarming out of their smoke-filled homes
and hurrying to the scene.
Demetro seized the gypsy Joe hy the
throat. While they were struggling on
the ground scores of (Joe's followers
rrowded around and threatened to Inter
fere, but the Sheriffs drew their revolv
ers and seized the little girl. An instant
later Demetro regained his feet and. tak
ing his daughter, stood with the officers.
Awed by the display of weapons, the gyp
sies retreated and the deputy Sheriffs
hurried to Thornton, where they boarded
a train for Chicago.
When you feel all tired out and broken
up generally, take Hood's Sarsaparilla.
