Shipments From Oregon to
Date Are 75,000 Bales.
LARGE QUANTITY REMAINS
Only a Few Transactions Reported
in the Market Growers Will
Meet at Woodburn Saturday
to Klect Vnion Director.
Shipments of hops Irom thin state from
September 1 to December 31 amounted to
75,000 bales, the movement by months be
InR as follows: - Bales.
eptember 3 4
October JJJ
November Jn'ooo
December .JO.UQU
Total 75'000
As no tabulation has yet been made of
the quantity remaining In the state, accu
rate figures on the 1907 Oregon crop cannot
be given. Dealers of this city still cling
to their former estimates, which range from
120,000 to 130,000 bales for the entire state.
Of the hop shipments since the season
opened about 5000 bales were of the 1908
crop. Taking an average of the dealers'
estimates of the 1907 yield, or 123,000 bales,
the withdrawal of the quantity of new
hops above noted would leave some 55,000
bales of 1907s yet to be moved out of the
state. The holdings of 1906s still In Ore
gon are estimated at about 12.000 bales,
making a total of 67.000 bales of old and
irrw hops available. In Washington some
75,000 bales of 1907 hops are unsold, to
gether with 35.000 bales of olds. In the
two states there are a total of 78,000 bales
of all growths yet to bo disposed of.
The hop market is not very active at
the present time, but there is a possibility
of considerable business In the near fu
ture. Among the latest purchases reported
was the Gobble lot of 145 bales of old and
new hops at Cornelius, secured by O. "Weid
ner A. Co. The J. "W. Seavey Hop Com
pany bought 130 bales at Silverton, 93 bales
at Hlllsboro and 100 bales at Eugene at
prices ranging from 5 to 6 cents.
A number of growers in Yamhill County
have made up a pool of 2000 bales, which
were Bent East with J. J. Metzler as their
nelling agent. Mr. Metzler arrived In New
York yesterday.
A hopgrowers' meeting will be held at
Wotdburn January 4 for the purpose of
electing a director of the Pacific Coast
Hoiigrowerst Union for the districts of Wood
burn, Gervais. Silverton. Mount Angel,
Monitor, Elliott. Prairie and Needy Prairie.
Captain George Pope, who issues the call
for the meeting, requests all growers of the
districts to be present
WESTERN WOOL IN EASTERN MARKETS
Fine Oregon Ktuple is Closely Cleaned l"p
Territories Active.
According to the latest mall advices from
Boston, there has been but little doing In
Oregon wools in that market. Fine staple
Is well sold up and what is left is quoted
at 2.'tc. Eastern clothing wools are offered
at 18 to 19c, to cost clean 66 to 67c. but
are not in special demand. Valley wools are
offering at 25 to 26c, for Nos. 1 and 3, and
at 27 c for No. 2.
n territory wools, a few transactions of
large size were .reported in the last week
at prices below the market for good
wools. The sales were forced and are not
a criterion of what good wool will bring
under ordinary market conditions. About
600,000 pounds of fine and fine medium
clips, In the original bags, Including Utah
and Idaho, have been cleaned up on the
scoured basis of 68c.
New Mexican scoured wools are also
lower, about 3O0 bags of year's growth sell
ing at 68c. and there was a rumor of the
same quality being sold at 55c. Such wools
sell only under pressure and the outlook
for short clothing wools generally Is not
bright, although a steadier market is looked
for after the financial crisis is wholly
passed.
A sale of 50.000 pounds of fine medium
Montana clothing is reported at Boston at
2:e In the grease, to cost 60 to 62 c clean,
and several small transactions at IS to 21c
are reported in clothing wools, the scoured
basis being placed at 03 to 65c for fine
and 60 to 6Tc for fine medium.
EGO MARKET WEAKENS STEADILY.
Some Shading of Price is Reported Poul
try Is Firm.
The egg market is weakening from day
to day under larger arrivals and the easy
tone Is intensified by the holding back of
buyers. The general quotation yesterday
was 32 He but It was said this figure was
shaded In some Instances.
Poultry of all kinds continues very scarce
and as the demand was good, the prices of
tbe first of the week were again quoted.
Dressed meats were strong with block
pork and packers quoted a shade higher.
Butter Prices Not Uniform.
Conditions are again somewhat mixed in
the local butter market. Some of the city
creameries are long and others short of sup
plies; and prices, therefore, are not uniform.
It wasi reported yesterday that one of the
creumeries had advanced to 40 cents, but
this was denied at the creamery office. One
or two other creameries, in the meantime,
dropped to 35 cents. The rest of them held at
the old quotation of 37 & cents. Front street
was liberally supplied with out-of-town but
ter, a good part of It second-grade, and the
feeling In that quarter was very weak.
Higher Wheat Prices Quoted.
The advance In the European grain mar
kets gave whest prices a firmer tone In the
local market yesterday, and dealers quoted
prU-ea a cent higher than Tuesday. So far
a could be learned, - business was of small
proportions, but If the foreign markets con
tinue to show strength, there is likely to be
a considerable buying movement In this sec
tion. ,ooI Demand for Fresh Produce.
There was a very fair demand yester
day for such kinds of fruit and vegetables
as were available. The only arrivals was
a car of sweet potatoes. Three cars of
bananas are reported due next Tuesday, and
a mixed car of oranges and tangerines is
rolling. Celery is almost cleaned up-

TALK OF HARRIMAN SUIT
November Statement of Beading
Shows Increase In Xet Earnings.
Improvement in the Money
Market Copper Is Higher.
NEW YORK, Jan. 2. Prices moved over
quite a range today, but the market wa
narrow, measured by the extent of the
numbers Interested In it. Dealings were
largely professional and reflected the readi
ness of the operators to turn quickly from
one side of the market to another. The
professional element sold freely at the
opening and tnen rebought later in the
day to cover short contracts, largely be
cause the earlier selling faa'd Induced but
little liquidation. The eary decline was
largely Influenced by the ' news over the
holiday of the application for receivers for
the Seaboard Railway on account of its
inability to meet the fixed charges due ou
January 1. The causes given for the plight
of the property, especially the legislative
pursuit of railroads in some of the South
em states and the stringency of the money
market, are of such general application to
railroads In that territory that they were
generally responsive to the news.
Even more effect was produced on specu
lative sentiment by the reports from
Washington, not without official sanction,
that a suit would be actively pushed by the
Government along the lines of the Northern
Securities suit to force a dissolution of the
Harrlman railroad merger. There has
grown up an assumption in some quarters
of the financial world that a state of truce
would obtain between the Government and
the great railroad corporations as a meas
ure of policy In view of the depression
growing out of the financial crisis. Inti
mation of a plan looking to the segrega
tion of the Union Pacific investments in
the hands of a separate company was be
lieved to assure the removal of objections
of tbe authorities to the present condition.
The Harrlman railroad stocks, therefore,
shared with the Southern group in the
early depression.
The rise in prices which occurred toward
the close of the year was persistently dis
trusted by the professional element, which
was Inclined to assume today that with
the passing of New year's day the occa
sion for supporting values would disap
pear. This view was fostered by the gen
eral note of conservatism in annual finan
cial reviews as to the rate of recupera
tion to be expected In the general situa
tion, a certain amount of commercial and
industrial liquidation being comironly ac
cepted as necessary before effective re
covery may be looked for.
The downward course of railroad earnings
also came In for special consideration. In
this respect, the November statement of
the Reading showed an exception In the
Increase of net earnings over those of last
year and that stock led the recovery In the
market. The strength of the market again
became general as the day progressed. ,
The Improvement of the money 'market
also gave satisfaction, the early high rate
of 20 per cent yielding steadily in the
later dealings. Larger offerings of time
funds were reported also,, although rates
In that department yielded but little. The
dwindling premium on gold practically dis
appeared today. So long as the premium
existed It was felt that an obstacle re
mained to be overcome to the establishment
of normal banking conditions.
The reduction in the Bank of England's
official discount rate from 7 to 6 per cent
also marked the passing of one of the ex
traordinary measures which were signal
of abnormal conditions. The lower bank
rate is expected, however, to become more
effective in holding up the London discount
market, as the discrepancy in the bank and
market rate has become so wide that
borrowers would not resort to . the bank.
The weekly return of the Bank of France
was weak and indicated the likelihood of an
early call on the London market to return
advances made to It by the Bank of
France.
Copper rose again in the New Tork
Metal Exchange, and this was a factor In
lifting the price of stocks. Substantial net
gains were shown at the end of the day.
Bonds were heavy. Total sales, par vajlue,
$1,911,000. United States bonds were un
changed on call.
