Oregon's rlalm as the leading hop-producing
ttflte of the Union Is conclusively shown
by the figure noiv available. The unsold por
tion of the -crop has been reduced to a point
wheYe it can be accurately estimated, anil
tlil, taken In connection with the official
figures . of the transportation companies on.
the quantity r n out of the state, permits
of a close calculation of the yield of the
fast year. In round numbers,- the crop of
ltMHJ was 1 47.000- bales.
The hop shipments hy the Harrlman linee
from September 1, HHlfi, to date, have been
1 1.1. 00O bales. Unsold stocks in grn wens'
hands 'up the clone' of biisinws yesterday,
shown by the careful checking up of the
lif-t of the leading Portland and Salem deal
era, are 23,000 hales. There are 2000 bales of
bops in t he Fast Side warehouse and 20i!
bales In- fcouthcrn Pacific warehouses up the
Valley. Dealers' holdings 5till in the state
cannot be so readily figured out, but it is
known that omethig between 50 K and lO.
mft. balefl of uch hois have been left on the
farma for the lack of storage facilities at, in
terior fhipphig points and to face Insurance
charges. Ksttmating these holdings at 7000
bales, f brings the total crop figure to 147. 000
ha lee. A large quantity of hops was left un
picked Ia.st Fall, owing to damage by rain
and vermin, so the po;vibi':ities of the state
to produce a wop in excess of ISO.Ooo bales
under favorable circumstances are apparent.
California comes next to Oregon in the
growing of hops, with a production of loo.nrm
bales In 1000. New York last year raised
fiS.OoO bales, .- while Washington grew f.2.000
bales.
The exports from all the American ports to
date have been 71.000 bales, and probably
100.000 . bales will go foreign before the wa
fn close. A quantity of foreign hops, -equal
to 20,000 American bales, has been im
ported, which is expected to conclude the
season's business In this line. Estimating th
American consumption at 2(13.000 bates for ttfe
current . ueapon "leaves a surplus stock in this
country, of 28,000 hale&, anr-insignificant quan
tity If only the lflo crop were a-t--the -dis--poeal
of brewers. The latter, however, car
ried oyer more or less stock from the 1003
harvest, as Is plainly shown by their indiffer
ence to the present market conditions.
The best buyer of Oregon hops th'.s season'
has been Paul R. O. Horst, of New York,
who has taken on over 30,000 bales and seems
determined to keep 'on buying as long as
there are any hops left. What he is going
to do with his stock Is the great mystery of
the market. His - total purchases In - the four
states have amounted to about , 5(0o0 bales,
worth $1, 250.0OO, and o far as anyone knows
he has not solTl a pound of them yet. It
was thought he was trying to squeeze the
shorts," but the latter. If there are any. show
no traces of alarm. It may te the big plunger.
is gambling on a general crop failure the
criming Fall, 1n which event he or his backers,
whoever they are. will reap a fortune. If the
revere is the case, eomebody will go broke.
The latent purcham-s of Hoist's Oregon
agents, Lachmund & Pincus, were the Alder
man lot of 110 bales at Grrvais, which cost
thtn 0 cents, and a T.Vbnle lot "at 10 cents,"
secured from one of thi Croisan Chinese rent
ers at Salem.
There Is oome demand aside from this ?pecii-
latlve business, and in the last few' days the
J. w. Seavey Hop Company has .bought be
tween 500 and 600 bales at ln"deiendence,
Woodburn and Sllverton. around 10 cents.
H. L.. Hart fought too bales yesterday from
J. R. Cooper, of Independence, at OVi, cente,
and six or seven lotd from SaK-m dealers at
t 1 a and 6 cents.
HOLD BACK K..S FOR FASTER.
Country Shlpnew Evidently Expert a Better
Market.
The egg market, for the present at least,
has lost the weakness that characterized it
for a considerable time, and In some quar
ters U i believed that a further advance is
likely. Receipts are light and both the local
and shipping demand Is good; Considerable
stocks are said to be held 'back in the
country- in anticipation of & better Kaster
demand.
A feature of the trade this year" has been
the heavy shipping business done with the
Sound and Alaska, which was largely duo
to the growing popularity of Oregon eggs
In the North. V. U. McCorquodale, who
has just tin 1 shed tilling an order for 1S00
cases, the largest order of the kind ever
lilted on Front street, states that the order
specifically required "Oregon valley" eggs.
There was a better inquiry shown for
chickens and the arrivals were more easily
disposed of. prices remaining unchanged.
The butter situation was as last reported.
POTATOES FIRM AM) ACTIVE.
Buyers Taking on Liberal Supplies at Good
lrles.
Potato buying is being actively carried on
in this section on a large scale and shippers
are paying from $1.1" lo $t.2r for choice No.
I stock and bidding up to $l.r.n for fancy
lots. The present movement jus titles the
hop that the close of the season win see
the surplus of the Oregon crop completely
cleaned up. At the present prices this is
held, to b likely, as the Easterners can only
compete ntth us at a higher range of
values. With any sharp advance at Sim
Francisco, another Hood of Easrern potatoes
would likely occur-
Most of the meirsbors of the trade believe
that quotations will remain about where
they are until at the last end of the. season
whn stoefcv has begun to sprout and then
there may be an advance. The shrinkage
In the meantime, however, will probably
offset any gain.
SOUAY1M.E 1VHX HAVE FOOL SALE.
Mohair Raided in That Section Will Be Sold
on April 10.
A pool sale of mohair will take place at.
Sndaville on April 10. according to infer
-Uun furnished local buyers b the wo-J
motors of the pool. It is" supposed the
quantity offered will be equal to last, year's,
when about 1 3.000 pounds were sold there.
A number of goatraisera have questioned
dealers as to the necessity of 'shipping tn
the mohair in new cotton sacks, as has
lately been the custom in some sections. As
all the mohair that is shipped East is re
packed here in compressed burlap hales, any
old gunny sack that can be bought from 4c
or 5c is held to be good enough in which to
ship in the hair.
Orange in Better Supply.
Five cars of oranges were received yesterday,-
but did not overburden the market
and even hipher prices were quoted on
fancy grades. Hood River apples are coming
out -of storage and pell well. There is also
a better demand for low-priced apples.
Two cars of mixed vegetables arrived and
with the steamer shipments furnished the
trade w ith ' a good assortment. Vegetable
prices were generally unchanged.

DISTRUST IS SHOWN
Wall-Street Operators Still
Fear the Future.
DEALS ARE PROFESSIONAL
Apprehension of Special Develop
ments Overhanging the Market.
Money Continues to Work
Easier Kxchange Declines.
NEW YORK, March 20-The action of
the stock market today was accepted as a
demonstration of the profound distrust of
values which has resulted in the smash in
the securities market. There was a violent
rally at the outset from the depression of
yesterday and the fears which were so gen
eral yesterday that some important feature
was imminent as a consequence of the stocK
market slump had subsided to a large ex
tent. Little was heard of yesterday s ru
mors, in fact.
It became quickly obvious that the de
mand which put up prices was of a strictly
professional character and that the highest
prices were taken advantage of for the free
marketing of stocks. In a few stocks this
selling had the appearance of forced liqui
dation and It was taken for granted that
further closing out of crippled accounts was
in progress. It was not .this, however, which
had the most discouraging effect on specu
lative sentiment. Rather it was the prostra
tion of the demand at any level of prices
thus far touched. The supposition was in
duced that buying at the first declines,
which were attributed to so-called bargain
hunters and which would be presumably
taken out of the market, was in fact de
signed simply for a more profitable turn in
the market on its first rebound from the
violent declines. A deliberately downward
movement seems to be feared more than the
panic break for the greater lack of resilency
which It may show. The mysteries of the
sources of enormous sales and the corre
sponding losses are not yet cleared up.
In today's market there was some fear
that special developments overhang the mar
ket, with which it would still have to con
tend in effecting any recovery. Stocks which
have lain dormant throjgh all the disorder
of the panic period, but which are neverthe
less subject to altered conditions of value
and credits, were under observation during
the day. Explosive, possibilities were suspect
ed In at least one prominent stock.
The money market continued to work
easier. Sterling exchange continued to de
cline, broadening the apparent profit on the
engagement of gold abroad for import.
The extreme fluctuations were wide, but
the day's net changes on some of the most
active stocks are limited to small fractions.
Bonds were irregular. Total sales, par
value, $2,002,000. United States bonds were
unchanged on call.

You Can Pay When You
Are Entirely Cured
Only
I have treated men's diseases only for
twenty-five years, and one year of my
practice represents a greater volume of
Rood experience than several years brings
the average physician or specialist. In
explanation of this statement will say
that I have been the busiest specialist
upon this Coast, curing several cases to
other physicians one. I began my prac
tice with accurate knowledge concerning
men's diseases, and my patients have re
ceived thoroughly scientific treatment. I
have not only treated them rightly, thus
acquiring an abundance of the very best
kind of experience experience of posi
tive value to those I treat and experi
ence that enables me to offer cures with
certainty of effecting them.
Weakness
Mr ability to cure those derangements
commonly termed "weakness" has done
more to extend my reputation as a spe
cialist in men's diseases than any other
thing. I was the first to discover that
"weakness" is merely a symptom result
ing from a chronically inflamed prostate
gland, and that q remove this inflamma
tion is thfi only method of permanently
restoring lost vigor. To this day my
system of local treatment is the only sci
entific one in use. In years I have not
failed to effect a 'complete cure. There
are two reasons for this: First, the un
equaled effectiveness of my method: sec
ond, because I attempt to cure no incur
Bble cases. My long experience enables
me to recognize those that have passed
.into an incurable stage, and I treat only
such as I know I can cure.
Advice and Consultation Free
Come and have a private talk with me concerning your ailment.
Even if you are not prepared to undergo treatment at this time I can
always give helpful suggestions to men who are diseased or weak. If
you cannot come to Portland, write for particulars of my system of
home treatment. Interesting literature and colored charts free If you
will call.
