HOP MEN TO MEET
Growers of Oregon Will Form
an Organization.
PART OF COAST UNION
Sonoma Producers at a Sleeting at
Santa Rna Form an Associa
tionBenefits It Is Pro
posed to Secure.
HopKrmvers in several sections of Oregon
re taking steps to organize for mutual pro
tection. The ruinous market prices that
row prevail make It evident that something:
must he done to pave the Industry. Meetings
have been called to discuss the proper mea
sures. The California growers have com
pleted an organization and will send dele
Kates to Oregon -and Washington to get the
farmers of those states In line.
Calls have been Issued for growers' meet
ings this week at Independence, rallas and
North Yamhill, and It is likely that meetings
will be held In ether sections. S. H. Petre.
who has Issued a call for the meeting- at
Dallas next Saturday, says it is not proposed
to form an independent, organization, but
to discuss plans tor a general organization
of the entire Pacific Coast, and he would be
glnd to have M. H. Durst or any of the
California representatives on hand.
Sonoma Growers Organize.
About 70 of the leading growers of
Ponoma County. California, met last Thurs
day at Santa Rosa to consider the matter of
a Pacific Coast Union. They represented
2500 acres of the 4000 acres of hops in the
coanty. Joseph T. Orace was chosen chair
man and James Petray secretary. Among
the speakers were M. H. Durst, of Wheat
land; Edward F. Woodward, Blitz W. Pax
ton. It. Cunningham and John M. Iaughlln.
The benefits of such an organization were
fully gone Into and many of the detallB were
explained. In the organization of the big
Pacific Coast Union the States of California,
Oregon and Washington are Included. It is
proposed that the union shall be divided
up into three districts, each state com
prising a district. Each district will have
Its own board of directors and officers and
Ihey will be governed by articles of incor
poration and bylaws. The parent organiza
tion will be composed of the directors and
officers of the three district organizations
so that each district will "have the same
fair representation.
The union, as was explalned'at the Santa
Rosa meeting. Is to be formed .on the plan
of the Cottongrowers' Union, which was or
ganized some years ago when the cotton In
dustry was In about the same condition as
the hop Industry Is now. The Cottongrowers"
Union now has about 100.000 members In 12
states and Its affairs are managed by a
central board of directors. These directors
have authorized that the cotton now on
hand be held for a fixed price of 15 cents
per pound.
Objects of the Union.
The objects of the Hop Growers' Union
are to secure the co-operation of Pacific
Coast hopgrowers In doing any and all
things which will benefit the Industry: to
finance all the hopgrowers, so that they
will be able to grow, harvest, and hold
their hops a reasonable time, and be at
the mercy of no dealer, bank, or combina
tion; to annually export the surplus; to
handle the entire Pacific Coast crop as a
unit, and thus Becure to the hopgrower an
average of at least 20 cents per pound for
his hops. "
The matter of financing the crop has been
pronounced hy bankers to- be practicable.
All the crops are lo be turned over abso
lutely to the Union, to be handled as a
unit.
The Union, through Its directors, will
arrange to advance hopgrowers up to a
certain sum per pound, for growing and
harvesting thslr crop. As soon as the crop
is harvested and turned 'over to the Union,
It will be absolutely out of the growers
hands, and they will have nothing to (?o
with It other than to receive their pro
rata share of the proceeds as the hops are
sold.
The prospectus of the promoters of the
Union gives the following as the objects of
the organization;
Finance growers.
Export surplus.
ltegulate home supplies.
Secure a minimum price of 20 cents per
pound.
Knlarge our foreign markets.

affords, instead of being compelled to deny
them actual necessities.

burden of debt and Impending ruin now
staring us in the face.
Regain our Independence and self-respect.
Improve our financial standlrtg.
Add years to the life of every hop
Krower by eliminating the risks and
worries now attending hopgrowing.
SOME XORTHERX BRIUXD FOR ONIONS
I DQiilrt,-. From Hrnt 1 1 Cause ft Flrmrr
Feeling Locally.
There Is a firmer feeling In the onion
market, owing to some inquiry from Seattle,
and holders who last w-eek asked $1.75 are
now quoting $2. Potatoes continue to drag
because of the slow California demand.
There was a fairly good trade In the
fruit line yesterday with most Interest cen
tering in oranges. The last car of cran
berries to arrive this season has been un
loaded. A car of celery was due from Los
Angele3 last night. The California celery
market is quoted firmer. Two cars of field
sweet potatoes are rolling, after which
cellar stock only will arrive.
FIRMER TONE IN THE BUTTER TRADE
unp'y Is Becoming Smaller While Demand
Hold Up Well.
A very Arm tone prevails in the local but
ter market. The supply of both city and out-jf-town
make Is becoming shorter, while the
demand continues as good as ever. One
creamery that maintains a city delivery has
advanced lus quotation to 37 H cents, but the
city creameries have not yet announced a
change.
There Is an easier tendency In the egg
market, owing to some Increase In receipts
of fresh ranch, though the supply is stlU
limited.
Very little poultry came In yesterday, and
the Inquiry was light.
SLOWER TRADE IN WHEAT MARKET
Price. Are Easier in Response to the
Iecline Abroad.
With the decline In the foreign wheat
markets, trading in the local market his
again slowed down and prices yesterday
were quoted weaker and .about 1 cent
lower all around. Some of the larger ex
porters are out of the market entirely for
the present.
Oats and barley continue quiet and un
changed. A considerable quantity of hay
is coming in. but the market holds steady.

HOLDS LIST STEAD!
Effective Support Is Given the
Stock Market.
LEADING ISSUES BID UP
Coppers and Western Union Are Ex
ceptions Call Loan Kate Firmer,
Due to Increased Borrow
lng on Securities.
NEW YORK, Dec. 9. The stock market
today gave plain evidence of the operation
of protective measures for the support of
prices against depression. The vigor with
which the market rallied from the general
declines at the opening and the determina
tion with which prices were bid up on the
half dozen stocks which are of most in
fluence in shaping speculative sentiment on
the whole list, gave testimony to the benev
olent control being exercised by capitalists
of the largest resources.
The fact of this support is now generally
recognized on the stock 'exchange, while
opinions vary widely as to the motives
guiding the movement. Cynical observers
profess to see in It nothing beyond a device
to securo an advantageous position while
capitalists are forced to avert utter de
moralization of affairs in which they are
interested. The more liberal view of the
favor shown toward recovery Is that read
justment of prices was warranted after the
utter prostration to which forced liquida
tion had carried quotations. The effective
ness of the support of the market was the
more notable by reason of the rather acute
weakness shown by a few special stocks
and which would. In an unfettered market
movement, be of marked sympathetic effect
on the general list
The weakness of the copper group, ' includ
ing American Smelting, was pronounced and
was directly attributed to the unfavorable
trade developments. The drastic reduction
of the output of copper, disclosed in the en
tire shutdown of some of the Amalgamated
Copper Company's properties points accur
ately to the source of the doubts reflected
In the movement of these stocks. Further
dividend reductions are counted upon as an
outcome of this action. There is growing
appreciation of the limited consumptive de
mand which figured in the recent large ex
ports of copper, and which are now alleged
to be going into European stocks In stead
of into consumption.
The Imminence of the dividend meeting of
Western Union explained the special move
ment In that stock. Fears were entertained
that a shrinkage in general business activity,
always reflected in telegraph revenues, as
well as the losses Incurred In the strike of
the telegraphers, would prompt the directors
to -pass the coming dividend or to reduce it
materially. This kind of expectation was
clear In the case of other stocks, notably
Distiller's Securities. .
The call loan market was even firmer than
on Friday, due to increased stock market
borrowing, and this was an admonitory in
fluence on speculative extension. Another In
fluence on the call-loan market, however,
was the stirring of life In the time-loan
market and in that form of paper. Increased
supplies were reported in these markets,
and bankers and money lenders were less
bent on conserving their funds in the form
of call loans. Some withdrawals of that
form of credits evidently were being trans
ferred to the others, a clear intimation of
the easing of the whole money situation.
This aroused a hope that the easing of
money might come before the turn of the
vear, although the expectation has been
that the January settlement would have to
be met before this happened. Some of the
demand from out-of-town banks for cur
rency kept up and a premium was still paid.
Another large engagement of gold in Lon
don for Import resulted, but It was secured
at a decline in the price.
The late selling of United States Steel
had a sympathetic effect on the market and
made the closing tone easy.
Bonds were Irregular. Total sales, par
value. $2,928,000. United States 2s registered
advanced 4, the coupons and the 3s and
4s y, per cent on call. ,

Argentine Crop News De
presses Wheat Market.
EXPORT DEMAND IS POOR
Government Report Showing Re
duced AVInter Wheat Acreage
Has Only Temporary Effect
on Prices at Chicago.
CHICAGO, Dec. 9. The wheat market
was weak the greater part of the day.
Trices rallied somewhat after the publica
tion of the Government report, which esti
mates the newly seeded area of Winter
wheat to be 1.9 per cent less than that of
last year. The market, however, soon
yielded to selling by pit traders and' commission-houses
and closed weak and at the
low point of the day. A private dispatch
from Argentina, claiming weather there was
favorable for harvesting, was the principal
depressing factor. Liberal receipts in the
Northwest, a poor demand from exporters
and a decline In corn were additional bear
ish factors. May opened 3Vc to hi He
lower -at J1.01H 1.01V. sold at $1.01 S and
declined to $1.00. where it closed.
Corn was weak because of a decline of
from 1 to 4c In cash corn. The market
closed weak. May opened a shade higher to
hic lower at 55554c, sold off to
64Tc and closed at 5&c.
Oats were steady at opening, but soon
weakened with wheat and corn and closed
weak. May opened c higher at 53c, sold
off to Sc and closed at 3c.
Provisions were weak because of unusually
heavy receipts of live hogs. At the close.
May pork was off 2c, lard was down 10O
and ribs were 10c lower.

GALLAGHER IS NOT FOUND
Calhoun Trial Postponed Because
Chief Witness Is Missing.
SAN FRANCI3CO, Dec. 9. The disap
pearance of former Supervisor James Ij.
Gallagher, one of the most important
witnesses for the state In the bribery
graft cases, and the Inability of the pros
ecution to locate him this morning;,
caused the postponement of the trial of
Patrick Calhoun, president of the United
Railways, until January 7. ' Mr. Calhoun
desired to go to New York and was given
permission by the court to leave the state.
Judge Lawlor, in making the order of
continuance, laid stress upon the absence
of an important witness of the state,
coupled with "uncertainty of his reap
pearance in this city." This has given
rise to rumors that Gallagher left with
the intention of not returning to San
Francisco. The prosecution regarded his
testimony as the self-confessed "go-between"
between Abe Ruef and the Doo
dling Supervisors as one of the strong
est links against the public service cor
porations. Mr. Calhoun, through his attorneys,
stated to the court that he was anxious
for the trial to proceed, but that import
ant business connected with the financ
ing of the United Railways demanded his
presence In New York City. The post
ponement of the Calhoun case carried
with it the continuance of other bribery
graft cases, all of which were today post
poned. DAILY CITY STATISTICS
