THE MORNING OREGONIAN. WEDNESDAY. SEPTEMBER 18, 1907.

IS
No Pressure Yet to Buy or
Sell Hops.
HARVESTING IS RESUMED
Eight Cents Is the Top Price Paid
In This State, but Xlive Cents Is
' Offered In Yakima A
Question of Quality.
The hop market is a waiting one. The time
has not arrived for either buyers or sellers to
show much Interest In trading, and until
one aide or the other forces operations,
the tendency or values will not be devel
oped. It IB realized that It would not require
much effort to lift the market a cent on two.
but no one in the trade la dlsposij yet to take
the bull eide very -strongly. What attitude
the growers will take remains to be seen, but It
Is very likely they will prove free sellers when
the crop has been baled, unless the market
should be an advancing one.
Some . business was reported yesterday at
prices running from 7 to 8 cents. So far
as could be learned, no higher offer was made
In this state, but at Yakima, Guy Grafton has
offered t cents for choice quality. . Hart
Hubbard have bought a 110-bale lot up the
Valley at 8 cents and two smaller lots at 7
to "!a cents. The same firm secured a car
load of olds at 4i$5 ants. Klaber, Wolf &
Netter also bought yesterday at the prevailing
prices. A lot of 200 bales changed hands at
Salem at 7- cents, but the particulars were
not learned.
The clearing weather yesterday Induced a
number of growers to resume picking, where
the pickers had not deserted them. Several
small yards finished during the day, and by
the end of the week. If conditions are favor
able, a good many more will have brouRht
their harvest to a close if they can keep their
help in the yards.
Wires and cables received during the day
brought no news of Importance regarding gen
eral conditions, beyond emphasizing the fact
that the quality of the world's crop this year
Is not up to the standard. In every bop
growing country there Is a large percentage
of inferior grade. What effect this will hav.
on choice growths Is not clear yet; but it is
certain that the poorer grades of hops will be
in oversupply and will suffer most.
LOCAL SCARCITY OF ONIONS.
Northern Shipments and Smaller Arrivals
Cause Cleanup in Market.
There Is a temporary scarcity of onions
In the local market, owing to recent ship
menu to the north and the fact that grow
ers are too busy caring for their crops to
send supplies to market. Buyers have
been paying up to J1.75. but with their
shipping orders filled are now offering only
(1.S0. A wire from San- Francisco yester
day noted an easier feeling in that market,
where the price has declined to (1.5001.73.
Potatoes are being offered somewhat more
freely, and buyers are less keen to take on
goods. The top price offered In the country
yesterday was 85 cents, but holders gener
ally asked $1. San Francisco advices were
ef a declining market.

THE RECOVERY IS BRISK
Standard Oil Case and Illnesis of
Rogers Have Been Discounted as
Unfavorable Factors Market
Proves to Be Oversold.
NEW YORK. Sept. 17. Stocks had a good
recovery todsy. and the vigorous upward move
ment was in face of some unfavorable factors,
or rather of realisation of the unfavorable
happenings that had been previously acted
upon In the market. The reverse movement
of prices, usual on such occasions, was re
sponsible In no small part for the brisk re
covery of the day. -
Operators in stocks) weae very busy discuss
ing the resumption of the proceedings In the
Government suit against the Standard Oil
Company, but it was evident that the long
course of preparations for this occurrence had
exhausted the requirements. The same was
true of the disclosures In the sworn testimony
in court of the precarious state of health of a
foremost capitalist in the copper Industry, that
person's serious illness having been reported
and exaggerated to the point of an alleged
fatal termination many times In the course of
the long bear campaign.
The facts, as now learned, were given a
large Interpretation In the whole course of
the market In July and August. The market.
In short, gave every evidence of being over
sold. A confirmation of this was seen in
the lending rates for stocks, some of which
have commanded a small premium from the
loan crowd. This fact was only accepted for
Its true value today after prices turned up
wards, as It Is a favorable device in a
liquidating market to borrow stocks for deliv
ery to avoid the' transfer of holdings in the
name of Influential holders and give the ap
pearance at the same time of a short Interest
in the market. The bears ignored the signifi
cance of the demand in the loan crowd so long
as they had weak spots In the metal securi
ties to help in forcing prices downward. With
relief today for that weak spot, the Influence
of the strength for several days manifest In
the railroad group asserted Itself on the
whole market.
Besides the ' requirements of an uncovered
short Interest, the copper industrials had the
benefit of a violent rebound in the price of
copper in London today, spot copper rising
there 3 12s 6d per ton. In contrast there
was a further reduction in the price of copper
in New York of c per pound. Sentiment
over the situation in the metal market was
appreciably improved, nevertheless, and greater
confidence was expressed that a level of more
effective demand was being approached which
gave promise that the market would right it
self. The views publicly expressed by the
chairman of the United States Steel directors
gave some feeling of assurance that the course
of the copper market need not foreshadow a
similar course In iron and steel, or not In the
same acute degree.
With the market relieved from the dragging
effect of the persistent weakness in the metal
Industrials, some of the formerly existing fac
tors asserted themselves. The strength of
the Hill stocks was evidently due to assump
tions of the benefit to flow from the higher
dividend distribution to Burlington stockhold
ers. Union Pacific shared in this movement,
although in a lower degree.
Money on call here -continued firm and there
was a stronger tone in the time loan market.
Bonds were Irregular. Totai sales, par value,
$1,782,000. United States bonds were un
changed on call.

American Lumber Kings in

BUYING IMMENSE TRACTS
Canada's Pacific Province Offers
Virgin Field Large Purchases
on Vancouver Island by Mich
igan . and Iowa Men.
American capitalists seeking timber land
investments have turned their attention to
British Columbia as the only place where
such property can now be secured cheaply.
United States Consul A. E. Smltn, of Vic
toria, reports that the sale of limner lands
in British Columbia and Vancouver Island
continues to Increase each montn, aa tne
following details bear out;
The official report shows that from Janu
ary l to May 1. 1907. there were issued, by
the provincial government 352.2A2 licenses
for as many square miles of timber lana,
from which the revenue derived was ap
proximately $282,500. But the record was
reached during the month of May, when tne
total amount contributed from this source
to the provincial treasury was $137,000.
The demand for standing timber Is very
great, and the American syndicates seem to
be successful tn securing the bulk or the
timber lands in spite of keen rivalry from
Eastern Canadians. That the demand ana
sales are steadily Increasing la shown very
conclusively lnthe number of timber-cutting
licenses issued during the years IftOft, 1904,
1903. 1906 and for the first six months or
the present year, which are officially stated
as follows.
1903 JSOT
1904 1451
1905 - 2175
1906 39A9
1907 fslx months ending June 30) 4243
These figures are exclusive of hand log
gers' licenses, and they show a remarkable
Increase In the acreage of land staked as
each license represents approximately 04U
acres, so that the number of acres covered
by timber licenses in each year would be:
x . Acres.
1903 83.4SO
1904 938.640
1905 1,390.720
190 2.&34.400
1907 (six months ending June SO.) 2.716.800
This large Increase for the first half or
1907, coupled with the fact that the number
of applications for licenses shows no dimi
nution. Indicates that the area under
license by the end of 1907 will be more
than double that of any former year. Of
ficial estimates state that In British Colum
bia there is an area of forest una wood
land aggregating 283.554 square miles. All
over this extensive area are large sections,
each of many square miles, owned or leased
by American syndicates and controlled by
American capital. The available timber area
of Vancouver Island alone reaches the large
figure of 8.000,000 acres.
As showing purchases of Brttlsn Colum
bia timber lands made by American In
vestors, It may be stated that during the
present year a Michigan syndicate purchased
50.000 acres of timber land in the Klaaneh
River country. In the northern part of Van
couver Island, which land la eatimated to
hold 3, 000.000. OOO feet of flr, yellow and red
cedar and white pine lumber. This com
pany is building mills, also a railroad 22
miles long, to enable them to ship their
lumber, making a total Investment or
nearly $2,000,000. The Standard Oil Com
pany has purchased 50,000 acres of timber
lands at Ash and Dixon Lakes, near Al
bernl, on this Island, on which au flr and
cedar trees In large Quantities, tie invest
ment amounting to millions. So far nothing
has been made public as to whether the
company proposes to cut and sell the timber
or to hold the property for an advance.
A syndicate of Iowa capitalists has pur
chased 210 square miles of timber lands
on Vancouver Island and the mainland, de
claring their intention to erect mills on the
island and cut lumber for the export trade.
This company says they expect to invest
$2,000,000 in the province. Other large pur
chases by American syndicates are being
made every week, while small capitalists
are also making Investments, which in the
aggregate foot up immense sums.
It is noteworthy that the most of the
large Investments by Americans tn Britlsn
Columbia timber lands have been made by
weolthy lumbermen, who now own or have
made their money In large manufacturing
enterprises In the Eastern and Middle
States. They have literally poured their
money into British Columbia, because, as
several have declared to the writer, they
regard the timber lands in this province .as
the last that can be secured at nominal
rates on this continent. As Wisconsin and
Michigan forests were 40 years ago so are
the timber lands of British Columbia today.
This large amount of American cash com
ing into the province is a veritable boom
to the people and government, both of wnom
are now more prosperous than at any time
In their history.
