THE MORNING OltEGONIAN, THURSDAY, MAT 9,1 1907. IT T Latest Move of Hopgrowers Is Not Likely to Help Market. SUCH DEALS DON'T SATISFY Why the Merchants Disapprove of Such Transactions Local Straw berry Trade Improved Prod uce From Country Dull. The depressed condition of the hop mar ket and the inability of growers to find buyers who will pay a. price equal to the cost of production have led some of the farmers of this state to consider the matter of consigning their hops to the East or elsewhere in the hope of finding a market. Several consignments have already been made to London and New York from Polk County and other sections and It was learned yesterday that two lots, amounting to IIS bales, were consigned to a Detroit dealer. Some of these consignments have been made on small advances and others with no advance at all. The Oregon growers have had consider able experience In the past 10 or 12 years in the matter of hop consigning. In some cases they have realized a very small profit ever what was advanced them, but In the majority of Instances the advance money was all they got out of the transaction. Where promises were made In lieu of a money consideration, the promise was not Infrequently the net result of the venture. Some hopraiserB never profit by their past experience, and after losing their hops one year are ready to pursue the same course the next season. There are others, however, who fancy they see a wide margin between the quotations of the Oregon mar ket and those prevailing at distant points, but they overlook the fact that, all charges considered, prices are nearly always on a parity everywhere, and, furthermore, when the market Is declining, absolutely nothing can be gained- by making a long-distance Shipment. If a recovery In prices occurs, it will be felt here as soon as elsewhere. As a matter of fact, the Oregon market is to day the best in the United States. Bales of Oregons have been made in New York In the last few days at practically the same prices as ere current here. The hop trade, of course, views with dis approval, as well as distrust, all consign ment propositions, for the bad effect It will have on the market at the selling end. Bvery merchant who has hops that he bought at the market price knows that he cannot compete with a consignee who has hops to dispose of that only cost him a few cents a pound or probably nothing at ell. The hop market of the United States has suffered so much this year from over production that It Is feared the consign ment business, If carried any further, will prevent any chance whatever of recovery. There have been some indications recently that consumers were about to enter the market for a part, at least, of the surplus, but If they see any chanbe of buying cheap consigned hops in the Eaat they will, not come here. STRAWBERRIES DIVERTED TO NORTH Overstocking of Local Market Prevented und Local Prices Hold Steady. "What might have been a glut In the atrawberry market was prevented yesterday by the diverting of a large part of the Cali fornia shipments to the Sound and to Spo kane. This eased conditions and enabled the trade to maintain prices on the best offerings. However, there was a good deal of fruit of poor quality on hand and this bad to be sacrificed. The Oregon berries received, of which there were about 15 crates, were not all as good as usual, and even at the reduced prices of 126 15 cents were hard to move. These berries looked as if they had had too much sun and some of them were poorly packed. California wires reported supplies of tiavels as about cleaned up. A mixed car of navels and Mediterranean Sweets arrived during the day. The steamer Roanoke brought only a mall lot of Southern vegetables. Oregon as paragus was In large supply and quoted lower. LARGE ARRIVALS OF UVE POULTRY Supplies Are Worked Off Without Change In Price Eggs Are Slow. There were liberal receipts of poultry yesterday, but the trade succeeded in work ing off the arrivals without change in price. Eggs came In freely, were In light de Inand by the local trade and there was but a poor shipping inquiry- Some storing is till being done at the prevailing price, but operations of this kind are about over for the season. Speculators strove hard to get the storage basis down- to that of previous years, but without success, as during the busy part of the season the demand from the North was always strong enough to keep prices up. As everything points to high markets for all food products during the remainder of the year. It is probable that the storage deal will prove a profitable one In spite of the unusual cost of the eggs. The butter market presented no new features yesterday and the tone was steady to firm at last prices. Bank Clearings. Bank clearings of the leading cities of the Northwest yesterday were: Clearings.

WHEAT HAS NO INFLUENCE Union Pacific Rallies in the Late Trading Exports of Gold May Be Made to Paris Bonds ' Are Heavy. NEW YORK, May 8. Operation, in the stock market were at a minimum today and the feeble and uncertain fluctuations in prices were significant of the lack of con viction on the part of the Speculators. The deallnugs were in the hands of a narrow, professional class. and could not be said to represent anything more than shifting; senti ment and efforts to detect a prevalent ten dency in the course of prices that might be followed. The occasional rallies in the wheat market Itself were of less effect than usual on stocks, because of influence of the foreign crop damage reports in the move ment. Conditions In th. money market under went slight change, although circumstances point to declining resources of the banks. The $2,000,000 transferred to San Francisco figured in the subtreasury report, as the operation was done by deposit at that in stitution against withdrawals to be- made from the subtreasury In San Francisco. Ex ports of gold are not immediately conteV plated, apparently, but a later outgo to Paris Is still considered probable. Sterling exchange reacted at Paris today, but was weak here also. Money in London, however. Is reported fairly abundant and with as little effect in arousing activity In the stock market as here. Some corporation requirements are an. Influence In the cur rent money market in New York. Union Pacific seemed to take little harm from rumors of an Intended Issue of con vertible bonds to furnish needed resources. It rallied to a gain of a point In the late market. , Bonds were heavy. Total sales, par value. 11,284.000. United States bonds were un changed on call. CLOSING STOCK QUOTATKNSclotm; Sales. High.

Patience and Caution Will Prevent Disaster in Financial or In . dustrial Fields. Henry Clews, of New York, writing of the financial and commercial outlook, says: Business conditions- continue satisfactory. There Is a large demand for all commodi ties, except luxuries, and no sign of Im portant diminished output or demand. The extreme conservatism which began In bank ing circles has extended itself to the heads of mercantile and industrial establishments. For .one reason or another thera has been a halt In new projects,, enlargements, and all forms of expansion. This is fortunate. Inasmuch as It givea time to ascertain whether our means of production have or .have not outrun consumptive requirements. It will also give time to demonstrate whether the present scale of consumption can be maintained or whether commodi ties must recede to a lower and more nor mal level. Whatever views ar taken of the present Outlook, they are extremely varied; yet there Is little or no reason for extreme pessimism. All that is needed is patience and caution, which should save us from further disaster. Caution Is especially needed in the real estate field, where there has been much overdoing In the develop ment of new sections not only in the vicin ity of New York tout all over the country and particularly in soma portions of the West. The season ts now approaching when crop news will become an important factor in business calculations. The season is ten days to two weeks late and some in Jury is reported to both wheat and cotton, but planting of the crops will not be completed for several weeks to come and the chances for improvement aro ample. It Is altogether too sooq for the crop killers to be taken seriously. Another good harvest will probably insure another good business season,' though it does not follow that one moderate poor harvest would cause any very serious setback. Important as are the harvests, we are less dependent upon ag riculture than formerly; besides it must be remembered that much of the Nation s growth during the past ten years has been due to the development of natural resources and the Increase of population, and no one can- tell as to how far the impetus thus gained will carry us. Indications do not point to a runaway market, but a good trading one. The improved undertone, however, is against any serious decline, and for the time being operations on the bull side are likely to be more popular than those on the reverse. .
