THE MUKMJNli UKEtrOMAX. FRIDAY. AUGUST 16, 1907. xr NO EFFECT ON HOPS Market Was Stagnant Before Strike Occurred. GROWERS BECOME UNEASY X,ack of Demand and Crop Prospect Bring Kellers to the Front. . Picking-Money Question Causes Uneasiness. I The telegraphers' trike is having no ap parent effect on the local hop market, for the simple reason that there Is no market to be affected. Orders for spot and future hops had ceased coming; in before the strike occurred. Trade was at a standstill, so far as the buying interests were concerned, and ao it remains. Sellers, on the other hand, are coming to the front and showing increased anxiety to do -business, but it Is doubtful if they could Interest buyers, even If wire communica tion were restored. In fact, a considerable degree of uneasiness Is being shown by growers, induced by the generally favorable crop reports and the utter lack of demand. Contracts could doubtless be written at lower figures than have yet been named If dealers were disposed to operate. The question of securing picking money Is also worrying many of the producers, and there is much talk of leaving yards un picked, according to reports in the state press, which are confirmed by growers who have come to this city. There are some few hops raised in Oregon " every year which should always be left on the vines, but it would seem to be very poor policy to allow choice, growths to remain unharvested. There is always a good demand in the buy--ing season for the best class of hops, and even at current prices these will show some little profit to the grower, or at least per mit him to come out even. Although the prospect is a gloomy one, things, may not be as black as they seem when all the returns are In. The crop Is not made yet by any means, either here or elsewhere. The trouble In the world's hop market for several years has been overpro duction, but it is a long lane that has no turning, and 'it is the unexpected that usual ly happens in hops. Everything favors good quality in the Pacific Coast hop districts this year, and as quality counts In the long run. the growers should not be discouraged because buyers cannot be found. There will be plenty of demand when the new market opens and prices will then find their real level. Hops in the bale should sell as well a on contract, and they may do better. At any rate, there is no reason why a grower should fret about contracting his hops when no one wants to contract with him. As for securing picking money, this is a matter that will have to be worked out. There has seldom been a year when the en tire Oregon crop could not be harvested for the lack of finances. A dispatch from Oervais says of crop con dition there: There have been several sales of hops In this section at about 0 cents a pound the past few days. The crop outlook Is not as good as usual, either for quantity, quality or price, and ss a result many have neg lected their yards, so that It will be Impos sible to get the quantity or quality. Neglert if I he yanls has had the effect of causing early maturing of the crop and many will be picking before the "month passes. George Kneutson, on North Howell, says his early crop will be ready to pick by August 22. Marion Palmer & Son have a large yard of earlles near Mount Angel and Intend start Ing on them about the 2.1d. There are only a few yards of the early varieties in this section. CITY BUTTER NOW AT ONE PRICE. General Quotation on Front Street Will Also Be Higher Today. City butter of the best grade was sold at a uniform price of 35 cents yesterday, the last of the local creameries having come in line with the advance. On Front street one brand of out-of-town country creamery la up to 35 cents, and today It Is probable that most of-the sales there will be made at the top price. Manager Vetsch. of the Damascus Cream ery, at Boring, announces that today he will raine his price to 3714 cents. He reports that the cream supply is rapidly decreasing and the activity of the demand makes a higher quotation ' justifiable. Some of the city creamery men declare that the late ad vance from 32H to 33 cents has In a measure put a check to business by turning their trade to the lower grades of butter, but it Is evident there will be no decline In price until the Fall rains come, and It Is possible that even that event may not have much effect. Ths egg market displays a healthy tone with a good demand, light arrivals and a premium being paid for strictly fresh offer ings. Poultry was in good supply and there was a brisk demand .for it. but at unchanged prices. PEACH RKCBIPTS SUDPEXLT FALL OFF Routhern Oregon Shippers Rending Their Fruit to California Markets. It is thought likely that bottom has been reached in the peach market for ths season. Receipts yesterday fell off about half. Indi cating that Southern Oregon shippers had turned their shipments toward the Califor nia market, where better prices can be real ised than here. No. 1 stock sold at 90 cents to 1 per box, which may be as low as prices will go. There Is still an abundance of inferior fruit on the market, which brings from SO to 75 cents. A large lot of Rose burg peaches Infected with dry rot was con demned by the market inspector yesterday. An express shipment of Toppenish canta loupes, the first of the season, will be on hand today. New prunes are coming in from The Dalles, and bring 11.2J per box. New York Hop Crop. The Watervllle Times of August 9 says of the New York hop crop: The hop burrs on the early varieties are quite sizable and Indicate a fair size yield. There is nothing new to report regarding the condition of the late crop. The weather for the past week has been favorable, al though the nights hnve been pretty cool and we have had plenty of rain. The Now York Journal of Commerce es timates the New York crop at from two thirds to three-quarters of that of last year. The following shows the movement of hops at the port of Now York to date: Receipts. Expts. Impts. TVeek ending Aug. 9.. 1,209 2,144 9 Total since Sept. 1 112.822 74,774 9,8o2 Kantrrn Sugar Market Dull. The latest trade letter of one of the larg est sugar brokers of. New York says: ' With the movement in refined smaller than the production and reports showing an Improvement in the prospects of the growing crops, and without any stimulating advices from European markets, the reflneres con sidered It best to adopt a waiting policy. Holders remained firm In their views until toward the end of the week, when they began to show some anxiety to obtain 2 0-1 Be and f. for 95 degrees test Cuba. equal to 3.95c landed 96 degrees test, but withdrew them on finding that the sugars were not wanted at the moment. In view of the recession of general trade and of the barely steady tone of the markets, it would be impossible to force a large de mand for refined at this time, and It would appear that no Improvement in conditions can take place until the country has ab sorbed the present ample carrying stocks. t Bank Clearings. r - Bank clearings of the Northwestern cities yesterday were as follows: Clearings.

Aug. 15 The stock market made a fairly satisfactory recovery today. The nervousness of the three preceding days has at length disappeared and the low prices to which stocks have declined have tempted Investors to re-enter the market. The result was a good demand today that caused values to rise all through the list. The opening was naturally weak in view of the panicky conditions that prevailed yes terday, but as no great desire to liquidate was apparent, the tone quickly Improved, and for most of the day the sentiment was fairly bullish. Operators on both sides of the market soon began- to buy heavily, and the resultant rally reduced the de clines to fractions. With the most press ing buying orders executed, trading quiet ed down, and the market again sagged to the lowest prices of the day. but at 11 o'clock another rally set In, and a healthy tone was maintained until the close. In the late dealings prices rose to the best of the day. and the close was quite strong. Among the day's gains were: Copper, 1; sugar, 2; Smelting. 1: Anaconda, Bal timore A Ohio, 114; Canadian Pacific, 3; Chesapeake & Ohio, 1; Great Northern, ; New York Central. 1: Northern Pacific, 2; Pennsylvania. 1 Vij Reading, common. 294; Southern Pacific common. 1; Union Pacific common, 3; Steel common, 114; Steel preferred, 1; Western Union, . The following report on the New York stock market and range of prices was re ceived by private wire by the Overbeck A Cooke Company, of this city: New York. Aug. 15. After an active, nervous and lower opening, the stock, mar ket revived and closed at about the highest prices of the day. Short covering on a very light scale was In evidence, and investors are coming In to pick up the good securities. In looking over the list and taking into consideration the enormous shrinkage of the past few months. It la only fair to assume that a great many unfavorable features, which have not been made public but as a matter of fact have been factors In bringing about this decline, have been fully discounted. Many of the standard Issues are selling on an extremely low basis for those who can take care of them during any further de pression. The decline has been so severe that in our Judgment the list offers an opportunity for Investment buyers such as does not often occur. CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS. Open High Low IClose Amal.

There is no opinion, so eccentric and Improbable but that some one may be found to advocate It. J think It extremely unlikely that another mtoileter .could ' be found In Portland or elsewhere who would agree with the minister referred to In last Monday'a Oreg-onlan, who regarded Zebedee as a lost man because he did not leave .his fishing nets and follow the Master, as did his sons. James and John. 1 have been in the ministry 30 years, and this Is the first time I 'ver heard of any person holding such an opinion. 1 The fact appears to be that Christ at that time was looking for young men whom he might train to become apostles and preachers of the gospel. This Is made evident by what he had said a little before to Simon and Andrew: "Come ye after me, and I will make ye to. become fishers of men." He was not laoklng for old men to engage In that kind of service, and hence did not ask Zebedee to follow him In that sense at all. 1 am sure that ministers generally will agree with The Oregonian in the statement that Zebedee was doing his duty In sticking to his calling as a fisherman. They woul not agree with The Oregonian. however, in Its Implied censure of James and John for leav ing their nets at the call of the Master. Useful as Is the calling of a fisherman, that of a "fisher of men" Is more useful and more Important, just as the calling of an editor of an Influential newspaper Is more Important than that of a day laborer.

Local shorts were largely forced to cover on the upturn. The tone was Irregu lar for a part of the time, owing to the nervousness of the public because of- the strike. Near the close the selling of a long line by a house with New York connections caused the market to flatten out, as shorts were then out of the wy. The September option closed c over" the final quotation of last night and c above today's opening. Heavy export, buying here and In the East was the principal supporting Influence. Mis souri reports said that 40 per cent of the crop of that state had been shipped and what Is left In the fields Is in bad shape.

NORTHWEST TO GET FHANCIIISE Must Be Granted One to Do Busi ness in Salem. SALEM. Or., Aug. 15. (Special.) The Northwest Long-Distance Tele phone Company, which Is affiliated with the Home Telephone Company, has been notified by Mayor Rodgers that the only way it can conduct a long-distance telephone business In Salem is through a regular franchise granted by ordinance of the City Council and a bill for an ordinance looking to that end will probably be presented at the next meeting of the Council. It is also apparent that the Home Telephone Company, which has a franchise far the establishment of an automatic telephbne system in this city, will be required cither to secure an amendment to the original fran chise grant if it desires an extension of time for completion of the system, or will have to establish Its right to such extension In the courts when its time for such completion expires.
