GROWERS TO MEET
Steps Taken to Bring Hop
Pool to Head.
WORK AT SEVERAL POINTS
Practically Every Producer in Lane
County la In Favor of It Deal
ers as a Class Opposed
to the Scheme.
The discussion of the proposed growers' hop
pool was the topic of leading Interest in the
hop market yesterday. Willie wme of tfle
dealers were skeptical about such a movement
even being under way, reports from the coun
try confirmed the account given In this paper.
6o far as can be learned, however, the matter
has not gone beyond the preliminary stages of
discussion. The growers in the vicinity of
Bherwood are heartily In favor of the plan
and will hold a meeting In a few days to take
tome decisive steps. Efforts toward the eame
object are also under way in the Ballston.
Aurora and Buttevtlle sections. The subject
has likewise been canvassed in Lane County
and It la aald that practically every grower
there will go Into the pool.
The object of the movement, as has been
stated before, la the curtailing of next year's
production aa much as the pooling of present
holdings. As this restriction is in line with
fthe Tiews of many growers, they naturally fall
Into accord with the idea. The present
cheapness of hops and Indifferent demand for
them will also make it easier for the pro
moters of the scheme to bring about a
withdrawal from market of more or lees of
the crop.
It ia the contention of t;he poolers that a
large proportion of the Oregon crop has been
sold short and to get the hops the short
sellers can be made to pay a living price for
them. They point out that some of the pools
in the past were failures because the growers
did not hold together long enough. An in
stance Is cited of the 1890 pool. It was
formed on a 6c or 6c market In order to lift
prices to 16c or 20c. The members broke
away, however, and in the inevitable craeh,
prices fell to 3 cents. After touching this
low level when nearly all the growers had
wild, the market righted Itself and went soar
ing. The few who held on were not sorry for
their obstinacy. One of them was Prank
Dunn, of Eugene, who sold out at 18 to 20
ctnts hops that cost him 5 cents. The causes
ct the failure of the liH'5 pool are too well
known to need repeating.
The dealer are, of course, almost a unit In
uvpiftlng the formation of any pooling arrange
ment. They look upon it as merely the first
ti-p uf a consignment scheme which naturally
wuuld injure their business In the Eastern or
foreign markets, and most of them think It
i being fathered by M.H. Durst, who worked
up ludt year's big London consignment. One
of the reasons for the failure of such ventures,
It in contended. Is that pools naturally com
prise a wide assortment of quality, ufrid in
trying to sell a big block of hops, the poorer
quality affects the better and the sale falls
through. The plan of getting some one per
son to grade the different lots, it is asserted.
proves a failure, as no buyer will take the in
spection of another person. ' It Ls the same
with brewers, as after they receive hops from
the coast or. elsewhere they have their own
Inspector re inspect them. Therefore the Pacific
Coast buyer does his own inspecting, aa It is
the only protection he has against demands
for concessions.
GROWERS SELLING MORE READILY
Offerings In the Hop Market Are Compara
tively j"reo.
The easier tendency of the hop market
has made many of the growers more willing
to sell, and business has shown a con
siderable Increase in activity in the past
few days. Buying has not been confined to
any one section, but operations have been
carried on in all parts of the Valley
Boms heavy buying done by O. Weldner
Y Co. has just come to light. This firm's
purchases since Saturday have amounted to
about 1400 bales. The lots secured were at
McM.nnvtlle. Silverton, Eugene, Corvallls.
Aurora and Whlteson and the prices paid
ranged trom 7 to 10 cents. At the latter
price the Arm secured 2&0 bales from W. C
Cook and R. Jacobson, of McMlnnvllle.
Klaber. Wolf & Netter bought several lota
yesterday In different sections. The day's
purchases of Hart A Hubbard amounted to
298 bales at prices Tanging from ly to 8
cents. H. L. Bents, of Aurora, buying for
M. H. Durst, secured two lots aggregating
68 bales from A. H. Cone, of Aurora, at 8
cento, and also the William Bents crop, at
Aurora, at 9 cents.
GRAIN STANDARDS ARE FIXED.
Wheat and Barley Are Superior In Quality
to Crops of Last Year.
The grain standard committee of the
Chamber of Commerce has fixed the cereal
standard of the 190T crops of the Pacinc
Northwest. The result shows that the test
weights are about the same as last year,
but the quality, both of the wheat and bar
ley cropa, la much superior to that of the
1906 cropa. Oata will average a fair crop.
Secretary Glltner, of the Chamber of Com
.mercef has ordered itcv manra t v, A
of the committee and the samples will be
ready for distribution next week.
The wheat market was active yesterday,
but the two. days' declines in foreign and
Eastern markets gave prices her a setback
and quotations on all grades were off one"
cent from, those curreVt the first of the
week. Oata we.ro quoted steady and barley
was Arm and unchanged. The hay market
waa strong with a good demand.
FIRST CAR OF NAVELS ORDERED.
Eastern Cranberrira will Be in Today and
Will Be High.
Orders for a car of off-bloom navel
oranges have been made up on Front street
for early shipment. The car. which will
be the v first of the season, will be here In
about two weeks, and will fill in until the
regular navels arrive. A car of Eastern
cranberries ls due here today. The cran
berry market ls very firm, with a $2 ad
vance In the East, and the new arrivals
will sell at $10. The grape season Is draw
ing to an end and the present offerings do
not attract great attention. Good bananas
are scarce, but several cars are looked for
tonight. Another car of sweet potatoes ar
rived last night.
Country Produce Unchanged.
The country produce market was without
pedal feature yesterday. Receipts of poul
try were ample and former prices governed.
The egg market was, of course. Arm. But
ter was steady.
London Apple Market Prospects.
The latest weekly apple report of TV.
Dennis Sons, of London, says;
The first Newtowna for the present sea
son have arrived and were sold on this
market yesterday. They were shipped at
Watsonvllle, Val.. showed up clean fruit of
nice color and altogether had an appearance
above the average at the commencement of
the season. Table fruit being in Bhort sup
ply, they met with an active demand from
IM .U J.ia uu V ' i . JJ . 1 . .Ill' J Mill,
tve hope, be remunerative to shippers. We
understand from some of our friends that
shipment of Oregon New towns have just
com mr need. So far as we can Judge the
prospects, we are of the opinion that table
fruit Is fining to be in generally short sup
ply and that a very good average of prices
will be maintained.
Pfars tire doing exceedingly well here.
Very high prices are ruling, but as this Is
the cone nlo in. New York, there arc few
pears finding their way over to this side.

DAY OF .GREAT ANXIETY
Irregular Movement of Prices
Throughout the Session Call
Money Rate Advances Dis
counts Are Harder.
NEW YORK. Cot. J7. The Irregular
movement of prices of stocks today offered
a confusing medium through which to try
to discern any defined settling towards the
market. During the early part of the day,
this feeling was of more active anx'.ety,
while later, with the subsidence of disquiet,
there was still a passive apprehension that
was not yet clear In the tone.
The collapse In the United Copper stock
In the curb market and the collateral con
sequences from that event, were the centra",
lnlluences, as they were yesterday. With
the suspension of the board members of the
firm connected with the attempt to corner
the stock and with the acts which Involved
yesterday's failure oC a stock exchange firm
which had taken orders In that stock, and
with the retirement of F. Augustus Heinz
from the Mercantile National Bank, the
limits of the trouble, which had been loom
ing In the stock market horizon, became
better defined and vere of far less potent
effect on sentiment. Feeling In the matter
was rather one of relief, as over the re
moval of a factor that promised mischievous
results and which has been a teasing prob
lem to control on the part of the clearing
house authorities for some time past. The
announced failure of a savings bank In
Futte was also associated In the public esti
mation with the unsettlement in the whole
copper world, but details of the affair were
meager. With the dividend meeting of the
Amalgamated Copper sot for today, the cop
per situation was given em additional hold
on the market and as the dividend action
was not looked for until near the close of
the markets, all the conditions were sup
plied for the uncertainties on which .specu
lation thrives. Not only was the rate to
which the dividend was to be cut In doubt,
one per cent quarterly representing- the
lowest estimate, but also the' effect on the
market for the stock of any given rate
declaration. Another fall In copper, both
In London and in New York, supplied addi
tional Incentives for conjecture. The cop
pers were forced to new low levels during
the day. This waa true of some other
Btocks of first-rate Importance, Including a
number of railroad stocks.
The announcement that stock sheets had
all passed successfully through the stock
exchange clearing-house delivered the mar
ket from Its appearance of greatest de
pression. Some of the buying that ensued
was apparently due to the covering of
some heavy short lines of Btocks and buying
for the long account continued under much
restraint.
The rise in the call-money rate was con
nected with the disturbance in the copper
stocks and to calling of loan's prompted by
the unsettled effects of that disturbance.
Discounts in London were inclined to- ad
vance and the weekly statement of the
Bank of England showed measures In force
by that establishment to strengthen con
trol of the money market and make Its own
rate effective. There was talk of a pos
sible rise in the discount rate of the Im
perial Bank of Germany and a failure of
some Importance In Hamburg was an in
cident of the day.
Foreign exchange was not affected here
and the rates were unchanged from yester
day. A sharp break In the prices of wheat
and corn was looked upon as promising In
creased takings for foreign account, with
probable effect in easing the foreign ex
change late. Prices showed a rallying
tendency even after the announcement of
the reduction In the Amalgamated Copper
dividend.
Bonds were easy. Total sales, par values,
$2,002,000- United States 4s regular de
clined 4 and the coupons 4 per cent on
call.

Wheat Fares Badly All Overj
the World.
VERY WEAK AT CHICAGO
Loss of About 3 Cents in Prices in
That Market Sharp Drop at
Winnipeg Export Bay
ing Xearly Ceases.
CHICAGO. Oct. 17. Wheat prices on the
local exchange today broke nearly 3 cents
per bushel from the final figures of yester
day. At the close the December delivery
showed a net loss of 214 2 c Corn was
down 1 c, oats were off 1H5J114C and pro
visions were 2 14 to 5 7 14 c lower.
The wheat market was extremely weak
all day because of aggressive selling by
local and outside longs. Prices were down
about 1 cent at the opening, owing to sharp
declines at all of the principal grain cen
ters of Europe. As trading progressed the
weakness became more pronounced. A bank
failure In this country, the suspension ot
an Influential financial concern In
Germany and apprehension of fresh
declines In foreign grain markets
tomorrow, following the slump to
day In this country, were the principal fac
tors In causing the persistent selling. A
break of nearly 5 cents per bushel In the
price of wheat "at Winnipeg, where receipts
are said to be Increasing, inspired additional
sales on the local exchange. The fact that
no acceptances of American wheat for
shipment abroad were reported by exporters,
except for a moderate quantity at Duluth,
was a further aggravation to the bearish
situation. At the low point of the day the
price for May delivery was almost 3 cents
below yesterday's close. There was a rally
of about 4 cent from the bottom, but the
close was weak. December opened lc
lower, at $1.03 0 1.04V. ; sold off to $1.02
and closed at $1.024 fn 1.02. May ranged
between $1.07 and $1.09 and closed at
$1.0814 1.0814. a net loss of 314c.
Corn prices broke sharply 'in sympathy
with the slump in wheat, prices at the low
point being down nearly 2 cents from final
quotations of yesterday. Cash corn was off
22 cents, and this had a weakening In
fluence on options. The close was weak.
December opened lc lower, at 01 4 S
62c. sold ofT to 6014 c and closed at (lie. May
ranged between 61c and 03c and closed at
621,0.
Trade In oats was very quiet and the
market was affected by the weakness ot
wheat and corn. A decline of 1 cent In
the price of cash grain was an additional
weakening Influence. December opened '14 c
lower, at 54 c. sold between 53 c and
5414c and closed at 33S'53c.
Provisions were easier because of the
u-AAbness of crraln. Trade was only moder
ate. At the close January pork was off
214c at $15.85; lard was down 214c at
$9.024; ribs were 5714c lower at $S10
8.1214-

UNIVERSITY FOR PROVINCE
British Columbia Projects Extensive
Structure on Tolnt Grey.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington, Oct. 17.-Consul L. E. Dudley,
in the following report from Vancou
ver, tells of the plans for a new pro
vincial university In that part of Can
ada: "The last session of the Provincial
Parliament incorporated the Royal
British Columbia University and appro
priated 2,000,000 acres of Government
land, the proceeds from which are to
be used In the construction of tha nec
essary buildings and for the endow
ment of the university. According to
the plans for the building to be erect
ed on the university site at Point Grey,
the specifications call for a two-story
structure 150 feet long by 62 feet in
width. The competing architects will
have to figure on accommodation for
at least 300 pupils, administration of
fices, general lecture-rooms and apart
ments for the special scientific sub
jects required for the two-years'
course in engineering, which Includes
chemistry, physical and biological lab
oratories. The design for the building will be
chosen from those submitted in the
competitive examination, for which
$859 ls being offered to architects.
This amount will be divided into three
amounts $500 for first prize, $250 for
the second prize and $100 for third.
"It is proposed by the Royal Insti
tution to expend about $100,000 on the
first part of the construction and, as
conditions warrant, they are prepared
to double this amount. The competi
tive plans must be handed In by Oc
tober and are to serve as ideas upon
which the definite building may be
erected. The present plan for location
calls for a building about 300 feet
from the waterfront and equidistant
between the boundaries of the univers
ity grounds. Tills will afford ample
opportunity for the construction of
wings and additions. It ls understood
that building will begin in the Spring.
The actual location of the university
grounds is on the east side of the naval
reserve, covering nearly 32 acres, with
a water frontage of 800 feet, having a
depth of 1600 feet."
