13 BLUEMQLD0NHQP5 Careless Storing Responsible ' for Its Appearance. SHOWS IN MANY SECTIONS Growers Should Investigate the Con dition of Their Warehouses AVithout Delay English View of Union. A subject that IB attractinr mucli at tention In tl. hop trade U the appearance of blue mold on hops In many parta ot the Valley. This mold or mildew comes as the result of the warm, mol.t weather that oas prevailed mo.t of the Winter. The only hops affected are those that are Improperly stored, but as there are many growers who have not paid sufficient attention .to the storing of their crops, it Is feared the loss may be large. In Borne sections an at tempt has been made to conceal the fact of the appearance of the blue mold, but the trade la fully awake to the situation. Of nine lots bought by one dealer In the past two weeks, parts of seven were rejected because of mold. The trouble first appeared In a few Isolated spots about a month ago. but It Is now reported from many of the sections. The last bad visitation of blue mold In this state was In 183ft. Hops that year sold by the bale. Growers who still have hope on their farms would do well to make an Inspection ot the bales and they may save considerable depreciation In the value of their goods if they act promptly. Dealers reported less activity In the mar ket yesterday than at the close of last week. Among the purchases were four carloads by Hart & Hubbard at 8 to 8 cents. Ieaac Plncus St Sons bought at Chehalls the Dob Son lot of 106 bales and the Donohpe lot of 120 bales at 5V4 cents. In Us issue of January 14. the Watervllle N. T.) Times says of that market: Since last Tuesday quite a brisk trade has taken place on this market. In the neighborhood of SOO bales having changed hands. Many of these were purchased from (rowers In nearby towns. About 8 or 9 cents was paid for the poorer grades and as high as 14 cents was paid, but In the ma jority of cases 10 to 12 cents was thw price given, as there are few flrst-gTade hops left to warrant paying the higher price. The Syracuse N. Y.) Standard, in re viewing the hop market, says: In spite of New York's rapid slump as a liopgrowlng state during the last few years the state still holds third place as a hop producer, and the crop this year netted the New York farmers close to 52.000.000. For the acreage employed the hop crop Is one of the most lucrative of all agricultural prod ucts, and It Is only arter a long and hard fight that the New York farmers have yield ed the supremacy in this product to the ststes of the Northwest. The English hop papers are devoting much space to the proposed Pacific Coast Hopgrowers Union, showing the interest taken by the English growers and consum ers In the movement. W. S. Harnett, a grower of Sittlnghourne, Kent, In letter on the subject to the Watervllle Times writing of course from the viewpoint of an English producer concludes as follows: If I might he allowed to ad vis the "Hop growers' 1'nlnn" 1 would suggest that the Pacific Coast hopgrowers burn their sur plus hops and reduce their acreage to the point necessary to supply their home de mand. Then, with tlieir 12-cent duty on foreign Imported hops, they can regulate their own market without outside Interfer ence. , ONIONS ARRIVE FROM UNION COUNTY Shipment of Red Globe Variety Offered the I.ochI Tnule. A car of oranges and two cars of swoet potatoes comprised yesterday's arrivals from the South. A car of Ilallowee dates will be In . today and two cars of bananas are due tonight. The sweet potato market has an upward tendency and will probably continue to advance as long as buyers will pay the price. Quotations In other lines are unchanged. A car of Red Globe onions from Union was offered to the trade yesterday. No price was fixed on the lot. but onion men valued them at somewhere between $1.50 and $1.75. Very little was doing In Valley onions, which were quoted firm and nominal at $2. Earn Broaddus, who has returned to Portland from Los Angeles, says Oregon onions will yet sell for $2.50. Eg-jr Quotation Normal. The egg market was a nominal affair yesterday. Receipts were good, but the movement was very slow, as retailers bought from hand to mouth and there was prac tically no shipping Inquiry. The usual quo tation was 27 cents, but some dealers would have cleaned up for less. Poultry arrivals were light and as the demand was limited, last week's prices were till quoted. Some city creamery butter la still being offered at 35 cents, but most of the cream eries are up to the top price. Front street is weak. Local Wheat Market Weak. The wheat market Is still quiet and doubtless will continue so until the foreign markets Improve. The feeling yesterday was -weak, in view of the decline at Liverpool, but some purchases at Saturday's prices were . reported, though other buyers quoted lower prices. Bank Clearings.

REDUCTION OF THE HOP ACREAGE. Paul Hoist Says It Is the Only Salvation for the Growers. NORTH YAKIMA, Wash., Jan. 20. (Spe cial.) Along with the strenuous work done by hop men of this district to unionize local hop Interests, with a fair prospect of success, come two or three Important state ments from Paul R. G. Horst, of New York, one of the leading hop dealers of the coun try. Mr. Horst, on his way to Portland, stopped here to ascertain the present status of the situation. Mr. HorBt ridicules the idea that the unionization of the hop growers' Interests will effect the favorable change in the market the growers desire. "The only salvation, for the hopgrowers," says Mr. Horst, "is the reduction of the acreage. There are on hand today 205.000 bales of the 1900 and 1907 crops. There will be Imported about &5.000' bales of foreign hops. In round figures, this makes 300,000 bales. The consumption will be about 2O0. 00 bales, but we will put It at 240,000 bales. This will leave a surplus In hand of 00.000 bales, of which 8000 are held in the Yakima district. "The union of Interests between the growers and brewers Is unbuslness-llke, and, therefore, unreasonable. Wltn barley high, malt high, prohibition curtailing the growth of consumption . and wages constantly in creasing, will the brewer seek to advance the price of hops also? "The brewer holds a surplus supply of hops for one year ahead. Accepting the statement of the authors of the union that the dealers and others, apart from the brewers, now hold a supply quite sufficient for another year, where In this fact is found any comfort for the grower? Add'to this situation the fact that the crop of 1908 Is near at hand. What effect can the influence of the union have on this condi tion r As a holder of about 90,000 bales myselfV I wish It were different, but this state of affairs exists and no organization of the growers can help It, no matter what Its membership may please to do. "The market Is overstocked. The only way to reduce the stock,, aside from Its regular consumption. Is to reduce the sup ply. That means a reduction of the acreage as the only salvation."

SLUMPIN SMELTING Sudden Decline Carries Stocks Down at the Close. DULLNESS MOST OF DAY Baltimore & Ohio's Report of Earn ings in December Unfavorable. Southern Pacific Strong and Active. NEW YORK. Jan. 20. The stock . mar ket seemed Indisposed to move far in either direction today, the many waverings of the early pay of the day giving- way to marked dullness until the sudden decline Just- be fore the cloning;. The actual occurrence of events, ant lcl Dated by successive advanced buying, is likely to lead to heavy selling to take profits. That such selling was In moderate volume today might be partly at tributable to the large amount of realizing effected during; the last week. The con clusive evidence, furnished by Saturday's phenomenal bank statement, of the rapid progress towards a condition of practical redundancy in the money market was clearly an event to schedule In the list of hopes realized. There were several elements of positive depression with which the market had to contend. American Smelting; broke with some wiMness In the early dealings and again at the cloea. The statement of earnings for Icember of the Baltimore & Ohio was impressive for several reasons. Coming as the first of the largest systems to make return for that pe riod, it was not a cheerful index of the, gen eral showing likely to be made by other com panies. Its significance was enhanced by the fact that only a small increase In the operating cost figured in the result, which was primarily due to the falling off in the gross returns. The resisting power of the market seemed to be negatively Indicated by the fact that Baltimore & Ohio and the United States Steel stocks were affected only in a trifling degree by this incident. On the other hand, the market was sluggish In responding to some ot the fac tors of positive strength. A strong sus taining influence waa-offered in the absorp tion of Southern Pacific on a rising scale. A decision of a Federal Court in Missouri against the state's effort to penalize the transfer of suits by foreign corporations from State to Federal Courts was made something of as evidence of the judicial safeguards against wrongful measures against corporations. Bonds were irregular. Total sbles, par value, $3,820,000. United States 2s de ci'iied per cent on call. CLiOKING STOCK QUOTATIONS. Closing Sales. High. Xxw.

(M-(M ot Sporting World lyfl AURICE THOMPSON, another Mon 1 tana boxer, has invaded California and made good. Thompson got a decision over young Kltchell when 'he was fight ing among the 133-pounders. Thompson met and defeated Fred Ward at Oakland. Battling Nelson can no longer be charged with looking for easy picking on his return from Salt Lake. After, whip ping Jack Clifford, he dropped Into Los Angeles and signed up to fight Rudolph Unholz, the Boer, who whipped Memslc. The fight Is fixed for February. Frankie Neil has broken off his mate.i with Eddie Kelly and has signed to meet Abe Attell. Father Neil will be a candi date for the bug factory if it happens that Frankie should win. The baseball situation in Vancouver, B. C, is proving as big a thorn in the side of the Northwest League as Portland. The moguls up North are very much up In the air these days. Wouldn't it be a joke on the Seattle fans if after all they should have to stand for Coast League baseball? Rumor mongers have it that New Or leans Is about to lift the lid on coxing. About 20 years ago New Orleans was the Mecca ot tl fighting games, just as San Francisco is today. Many great battles were won and lost there. "Whose tlO.OOO was it that Dugdale of fered Judge McCredie for the Portland franchise?" asks a fretful fan. Give it up.
