THE MORNING- OKEGONIAN, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 1907- , 15 E LIFE II HOPS But Business Is Being Done at Very Low Prices. CHOICE GO AT 7 CENTS Future of the Market Is Uncertain. Farmers Not Inclined to Hold. English Trade Advices. Movement of Grain. There are iome signs of life again stir ring in the hop market, but business here Is pv no means brisk and is not likely to be until financial conditions, both East and West, are materially improved. As is to be expected under the circumstances, prices are on a level most unsatisfactory to growers. Seven cents was paid yesterday for a lot that Is considered choice In quality, that of J. C. Cockerham, 234 bales, at Sheridan. Hops of this Quality were selling; before the slump at 0 and 10 cents. Wolf & Son, of fillverton, yesterday bought two lots at 8 cents in the Aurora section, 124 bales from Henry Tergen and 63 bales from C. T. F. Wilson. Klaber. Wolf & Netter were also In the market and secured a few lots. The future of the bop market was never more uncertain than It is now. It did not look good before the financial trouble began and this circumstance, of course, has not Improved Its prospects. A curtailment In the beer output In the East Is regarded as Inevitable and brewers are showing less concern over the barley shortage and nat urally will take less Interest In bops. On the other hand,- the foreign situation is still to be reckoned with, as Is also the position of- the short Interests in this country. As for the latter, it must be said that the market has played into their hands. In the meantime the farmers are doing but little, perceiving the futility of offering their hops on such a market. That many of them are not in a holding mood Is evi dent from the success with which consign ment schemes are being carried on at sev eral places. Advices from Takima yesterday were that there was quite a burst of activity In that section. It la needlenn to add that the prices were low. McNeff Bros, bought 468 bales of the Moxee crop at 4 cents and 220 balea of the Stover crop at 4 cents. Guy Grafton bought the Bell lot of 400 bales at 4H cents. Between 400 and 600 bales more changed hands, but the details of the transac tions were not learned. The latest trade reports of the English firms received by mall follow: The choice hops are now In a very small compass, and eagerly sought after. The general trade Is not very fast, but the best Iff t are being picked over. Low, healthy brown hops are inquired for. Manger & Henley, London. During- last week trade was not quite so active In consequence of the Brewers Exhi bition occupying both buyers and sellers' at tention. Some considerable trade, however, has been carried through, and the demand for strli-tly choice hops continues exception ally keen, full prices being paid. The useful grades of East and Mid-Kent hops are not htlng freely offered, and values are more or less indefinite. Continental markets have be'M fairly active during the week, with choice hops becoming much scarcer, and rather higher prices being paid. Cables from America show that a good demand Is ex perienced there for the choicer qualities, hut little Is being done for England in a general way. Cattley, Grldley & Co., Lon don. Trade during the" week has not been so brick as last, the demand being chiefly for the host ' qualities at. full market rates. liuBlness in the middle and lower qualities continues, but prices paid for these are con sidered to be murh below the value. Some entire large growths have been disposed of during the week. There is also a trade for ycarlhiRS. Exchange & Hop Warehouses, London. There was a much smaller attendance at market on Saturday, and it is evident that the bulk of the Worcester crop has now left growers' hands. The demand for finest samples was well maintained, such qualities selling readily at from about 7."s to 80s per cwt. but the supply pn offer was extremely limited. Trade in medium and low grades ruled very slow, and occasionally less money was accepted in order to force sales. J. H. Meredith & Co., Worcester. CONCORD GRAFE CROP AIX MARKETED nigh Cost of Labor and Baaketa Reduces Growers profits. James H. Reid, District Fruit Commis sioner, yesterday finished the marketing of his crop of 50 tons of Concord grapes from rrls vineyard near Milwaukle. In discussing the grape situation, Mr. Reid said: "In the past three years there has been a large acreage of Concords, Niagaras and Wordens put out in this state. While there has been a good demand for Concord grapes, the supply has exceeded the demand this year. The only solution of the problem Is the establishment of a grape-juice plant, which no doubt would be a 'paying Invest ment. "This has been the most favorable year for grape growing In the past five years. Tfte growers, however, have been handi capped by their Inability to secure enough baskets. At the present scale of wages they cannot grow Concords and sell them at a profit, as baskets here cost $33 per thousand while in New York the price Is only $18 per thousand. As wagea here are 35 to 40 per cent higher than, in New York, the Oregon growers cannot, of course, produce Con oords as cheaply as in New York. New York Concords are quoted on the Coast here at 42 cents per ten-pound basket, w hile the average 'price for oregons this year has been IK cents per 4-pound basket. The difference in labor and baskets more than makes up the difference in freight. "As for quality, competent judges declare that the Oregon Concord is superior to that grown In New York. GRAIN MARKETS ARE ALL QCIET. Borne Business Coder Way In Wheat and Oats Values Ar Firm. A littie buying is under way in the wheat market and the exporters believe that by next week business will be fairly active. Some trade Is passing in oats and people who have to have this commodity are forced to pay full prices for it. There is no de mand from California as stocks there are large, but advices received yesterday from Pan Francisco said that buyers would be in the market for oats next month and pre dicted high prices before the season is over. The barley market is quiet and what little Is left in the country Is in firm hands. Hay Is coming in freely, as plenty of cars are available for the purpose, but the re ' ceivers are not sacrificing it. Poultry Prices Hold steady. Poultry receipts were light again yester day and with a moderate demand prices held steady. Eggs were firm and unchanged. Steady prices wore quoted in the city creamery market and on Front streot the best brsnds of outside butter were well matntnlned. but the less-known brands were only moved at low prices.

INDICATES SOUND BASIS Bear Tactics Are Again Attempted, but Encounter Obstacles Urg ent Demand Tor Cur rency Continues. NEW YORK. Jov. 13. A check was made upon the downward movement of prices to day after running somewhat further in the early part of the day. The rebound today was narrower than the downward reaction yesterday and the market became lethargic In the later stages. This narrowing of th swing cf the price movement is usually the sign of mora or less table equilibrium, which drifts and feebly fluctuates until there is fresh development In the situation. There was evidence yesterday and early today that the professional operators were dis posed to take advantage of the neglected condition of the market to undertake bear tactics. Means seem to have been found, also, to place obstacles in the way of these attempts, which have proved effective. The purpose of these various measures evidently Is to keep the stock market quiet and free from excitement and feverlahness. while the task of mending the outside financial posi tion U pursued. The urgency of the demand for currency continued today, largely from out-of-town sources. Bids were reported today of as high as 1 per cent for the gold to arrive on the steamship Mauretanla. which will not be here for ten day hence. Premiums paid today for currency ranged up to 3 per cent. The currency situation made It a matter of couraa that a keen demand should persist for gold, shipment to New York, and all engagements made today were large, bringing the total engagemeits to well over $60,000,000. The consignment of more than $8,000,000. which arrived today, made little (Vnpression on the currency premium and was apparently disposed of in advance of arrival. Some anxiety was felt lata in the day lest the Bank of England should make another advance in the official discount rate tomor row. Bonds were irregular. Total sales, par value, $3,318,000. United States bonds were unchanged on call. CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS. Closing Sales. High. Low.

RAILROADS BUYING LITTLE Wait for Prices or Supplies and Ma terial lo Fall. W. V. S. Thorne. general director of purchases and supplies for the Harrlman lines, with headquarters at New York, la In the city for a few days on a tour of the Pacific Coast territory. Mr, Thorne is a director of the Wells-Fargo Express Company and expressed himself yester day as very much pleased with the new building erected by the company at Port land. "This is a time for retrenchment," said Mr. Thorne, "not only with the railroads, but with manufacturers in all lines as well. It is just now a bad time to make extensive purqhases, for money is scarce and prices are still quite high. Our lines just now are buying only for current needs and will probably maintain this policy until conditions become easier. - "It will, no doubt, take some time to fully recover from the present uneasiness and careful expenditure is the rule, lt always requires a longer time to restore confidence than it does to tear down business prosperity. " , "As a general thing, the Harrlman lines are heavy purchasers of Oregon fir. "We find that this material is excellent for building boxcars. It saves about 2500 pounds In the weight of the average car and this is a distinct gain. We make a rule to use it in car building when it is not too hard to get." Mr. Thorne conies to the Pacific Coast every year or two but has not been here for two years. He finds very great im provements in this city and comments on Portland's rapid growth of late. . He will leave Friday for San Francisco and Los Angeles. NEW TARIFFS - BEIXG MADE Harrlman Line Officials ' Comply With Order From Government. The tariff department of the Harrlman lines is working night and day to make the changes in rates prescribed by the Interstate Commerce Commission in its special circular No. 3, recently issued. This requires that the long and short haul clause shall be eliminated from the tariffs, making rates specific. The long and short haul clause iiv a general way is to the effect that rates to intermediate points shall not exceed through charges Hereafter the publication of maximum rates will be done away wtth and spe; cific figures must be given. The carriers are given until January 1, 1908, to make the required changes. A new rate for canned goods from Ash land to Portland of 30 cents per 100 pounds in carload lots will be effective on the Southern Pacific November 25. This makes the same rate as that pub lished some time ago from Grants Pass to Portland. The rate is another evi dence of the Southern Pacific's endeavor to develop the fruit-canning industry throughout the"Willamette Valley. Naver before has there been so much Interest in this industry, and this year has seen a greater output of canned fruits throughont the Willamette Valley than ever before. The number of canneries and 'the size of . their outputs are ex pected to increase each year. A new rate on mineral water from Cot tage Grove to Portland, in carloads, of 20 cents per 100 pounds will be effective on the Southern Pacific December 13.

A meeting; of the Oreson State Nurses' Association was held yesterday for tlia purpose of considering the erection of ,a cottage at the Milwaukle Open Air Sana torium for the use of the nurses who may have contracted tuberculosis In the pur suit of their calling. The need of such a cottage was emphasized by the recent death in one of the city hospitals, where there is no proper provision for tuberculo sis, cases, of a graduate nurse whose friends were unabUj to care for her. The association has for its object not only the resistration of graduate nurses and the advancement of the educational standards of nursing, but also the raising and maintaining- of funds for the proper care of Its sick nurses. In time, if funds can be raised, it Is hoped that there may be some provision for other chronic or incurable diseases besides tuberculosis: for a nurse's life Is a hard and exhausting one, and though the $25 per week, which is the regular fee of a graduate nurse in private practice,, may sound large to some people, it Is to be remembered that it is a physical Im possibility for a nurse to go straight from case to case and work G2 weeks In the year and that, f!ke other people, she has expenses that run on whether she is on a case or not. while not unfrequently there are others dependent upon her, so that saving for sickness or old age is not a particularly easy matter.
