NOT HALF PLEDGED
Unless Hopgrowers Take More
Interest, Union Will Fail.
IS CASE OF SELFISHNESS
Promoters Discouraged With the
Outlook In Oregon Big: Growers
Expect' the Little Ones to
Carry All the Burden.
SAIEM, Jan. 29. (Special.) Promoters
of the Paciflo Coast HopRrowen' Union In
Oregon are very much discouraged with the
outlook at present, and unless growers take
more Interest and hasten to sign the union
agreement, the movement will be abandoned.
Joseph Baumgartner, who has Immediate
charge- of the work here, says that only
about 85 er cent of the acreaee has been
signed uo thus far. or only .half what Is
required by the terms of the agreement.
The large growers are the ones who are
holding back.
"It looks like a case of selfishness.' said
Mr. Pftumgartner this evening. "Apparently
the large growers expect the small growers
to form an association and reduce their
acreage or adopt some other plan by which
the Dries will be advanced, and then the
large growers will get the benefit of It with
out aiding In accomplishing the results. So
far as I have anything to say about It, that
policy shall not win. If the few think they
can profit by the sacrifices of the many, they
will find out their mistake. If they don't
want to loin the union, we will dron the
work and let the hoDgrowers handle the
situation separately as they have been
doing.
"Thus far a very few of us have been do
ing all the work of orsanlzatlon and have
been bearing alt the expense. This should
Dot be expected. There are many growers
who will sign the union by-laws If some
one visits them and explains the plan, but
to send men out to do this work and to
handle the correnpondence will cost at
least 1 1000. If growers want a union formed
they must hurry uo with their signatures
to the by-laws and also contribute to the
expense fund. Otherwise the movement
will be abandoned and that without much
delay."
BUTTER SCRF1XS BEING REDUCED.
Shading of prices Cause Country Creamery
to Work Off.
A somewhat steadier undertone Is ap
parent In the butter market and Instead of
the expected decline, It Is probable that
present prices will be maintained for some
time. The heavy surplus that Front street
has been carrying is being reduced by ju
dicious shading on all but a few brands.
The strength of the Eastern market is
having more or less of a sympathetic effect
here, if the Seattle and Tacoma markets,
which are largely supplied with Eastern but
ter, stiffen In responso to the advance in the
East, It will have a beneficial effect on the
local situation. It Is understood, however,
that the Sound cities are stilt well stocked.
Epg dealers are turning away no cus
tomers these days and by pressing sales
are keeping their surplus supply down In
the face of Increasing receipts. The mar
ket was quoted flat at 25 cents yesterday.
.Poultry arrived i:htly and with a fair
demand the market generally was very
steady. The Chinese continue to be strong
buyers of ducks.
NORTH YAMHILL HOP TOOL SOLD.
Most of the Lot Is Disposed of at Home.
Olds Sold in Now York.
The North Yamhill dooI of 1950 bales of
hops, which J. J. Metzler was sent to New
York to dispose of, has been sold, most of
It. however, at home. W. J. Bishop bought
1370 bles of the pool for T. A. Llvealey &
Co., paying 6 and 6 ft cents. This com
prised all the 1907 hops In the lot. The 5S0
bales of olds In the tiool were sold In New
York yesterday by Mr. Metzlr. ' The price
was not learned, but It is understood to be
satisfactory for ths class of goods. Mr.
Mntslor left New York last night, bound
for homo. He will stop off at Cincinnati
and Chicago.
George K. Dorcas has given up his hop
office In Portland and moved to Salem,
where he has associated himself with his
brother, C. A. Dorcas, the new firm name
being the Dorcas Bros. Co. C. A. Dorcas
has been with Catlln & Linn for the past
year and was formerly with Lachmund &
Fincus.
FOrR CARS OF ORANGES ARRIVE.
Market Rule Firm With Reports of Con
tinuous Ruins in California.
Four cars of oranges arrived yesterday,
but with a good local demand and reports
of continuous rains in California, the mar
ket held up firmly under the receipts,
which came on a market already well
stocked. The Chinese are liberal consumers
of the large sizes.
A car of fancy cauliflower was received
from the south. A car of Jersey celery is
due Saturday, which will be the first good
shipment of this article received in two
weeks.
Onion, and Potato Dull.
Th. onion market is nominal, no business
with grower, having been reported this week.
Puyr are oftcrlne 21, centa and sellers are
asking 3 cents.
Tho San Francisco potato market is weaker
because of heavy arrivals of consigned lots
of Haltnas, and buers are less ready to oper
ate in thla, section. Some hope la held out
of a probable moverhent later to points in
th. Middle Wert as a result of the upward
tendency of" the EaMern potato market.

DR1FTISDQWNWARD
Support Is Withdrawn From
the Stock Market.
PRICES SAG STEADILY
Steel Shares the "Weakest Feature,
Due to the "Unsatisfactory Quar
terly Show ing Check to the
Decline in Money Rates.
KEW YORK, Jan. 29. No effective obsta
cles were Interposed to prevent the downward
drift of prices of stock today, which was on
a much diminished volume of business from
that which has been true for many days past.
The pressure to .sell showed no signs of ur
gency, but the benevolent control which has
been apparent since tho present week opened
was . withdrawn. leaving the market to its
own tendency. The supporting measures.
which have been obvious to even superficial
observation, have been attributed to tihe large
banking and capital interests, the .supposed
motive being the purpose to protect the mar
ket from an undue effect from some of the
recent developments that had been dreaded.
The passing of several of these Incidents may
have accounted for the abandonment of pro
tective measures In the market today.
The appearance of the United States Steel
Corporation's quarterly report, with its em
phatic testimony to the heavy contraction In
the business of the corporation following the
financial crisis, was the latest of these inct
dents. The tenor of the report, however, had
been so clearly outlined In preliminary esti
mates, both in the figures of the quarter's
net earnings and In the tonnage of orders on
hand, that no marked change of sentiment
was caused by the reading of the report.
The heaviness of United States Steel led the
downward turn- In prices.
In the opinion of the floor operators, the
dominant factor in the depression was the
reports of renewed measures . against the
ipower of corporations In contemplation at
Washington. Definite rumors were In circula
tion regarding the contents of the epeclal
message from the President to Congress, said
to be intended1 for an early day, and bearing
on a new employers' liability law, enlarged
f)rtllege agirinst discrimination for union la
bor and dnastlc restrictions on speculative op
erations in the markets under the guise of
anti-gambling regulations.
There was a note of dissatisfaction percepti
ble in the financial district over the delay
in retirement of a remnant of the clearine-
bouse loan certificates issued to tide over the
crisis. That further extension of time for
this purpose should be deemed necessary to
injure two or three of the smaller banks from
embarrassment, which it was believed would
be caused by forcing their hand at this time,
left the ultimate outcome of the situation in
some perplexity.
There was a perceptible check today in the
downward course of money rates In the time
loan department and the reaction in foreign
exchange was the response to this condition.
The discussion of a forthcoming New York
City loan for an amount intended to be from
$30,000,000 to $40,000,000 for a long term and
to bear Interest at 4ft per cent also was an
Influence in the money market.
A reduction in quotations dor cooDer at the
Jfew York Metal Exchange was an incident
of the day. Covering by bears late In the
day developed a continued supply of stocks
and the sagging tendency gave way to more
pronounced1 weakness at the closing.
Bonds were irregular. Total sales, par
value, $5,704,000. United States bonds were
unchanged on call.

FIXAXCIAU CIRCLES.
But Effect of tlie Panic Is Being
Felt iri Commercial and
Industrial Lines.
Henry Clews, of New York, writes of the,
financial outlook as follows:
In financial circles there has been a de
cided revival of confidence. The panic there
has done its worst, and Is now working
Itself off in commercial and industrial af
fairs. This revival of confidence is reflected
in the greatly lmprovel demand for high-
class bonds and stocks by Institutions and
rich investors. The bond market is in
strikingly favorable contrast with last Mid
summer, when the most desirable Issues
were practically unsalable, owing to the ab
normal rates for money. Many good issues
are still being offered at very attractive
hgures. What with favorable monetary con
ditions on one side and unfavorable business
conditions on the other, the outlook is for
fluctuating market without pronounced
movements in either direction. The depres
sion in business is spreading more rapidly
ftthan is generally supposed; Commodity
prices are already declining and the process
of readjustment In the Industrial and com
mercial world is now well under way. Of
Itself, this is not a misfortune, since there
Is no question that once prices fall to a
lower and more settled basis there will be
a resumption of activity on the lower
plane. Tho period of transition, however,
is a time of more or less uncertainty and
Irritation. As already explained, there are
reasons for hoping that the era of business
depression will be shorter than usual, owing
to the strong .financial condition of our
farmers and manufacturers, and the fact
that the country is not suffering from over
production. There will be, however, more
or less curtailment in consumption, be
cause of the enforced idleness of many
hands and the economies necessitated by
changed business conditions. As soon as the
industrial situation becomes more settled
and the political outlook more clear, there
is prospect for an early resumption of
business activity if not before. These con
ditions, however, are not likely to have any
immediate effect upon the stock market:
the great improvement in monetary and
financial conditions resulting directly from
the panic being sufficient to fully com
pensate for all the unfavorable conditions
elsewhere.

HAS MONEY BUT CAN'T PAY
Los Angeles Tied Up by Mismanage
ment of Business Council.
LOS ANGELES. Cal.. Jan. 87. While
the City Council is buying $4000 auto
mobiles for officials and refusing to
spend a comparatively small sum in
erecting a stockade to house the over
plus of prisoners at the disease-breed
lng jail, the citizens anxiously are in
auirine how it is that an $800,000 sur
plus has disappeared and left In Its
wake a deficit of $78,000. Through mis
management of funds the Council has
killed off the surplus and the much
heralded "business men's administra
tion" Is apparently wrecked on the
rocks of Internal discord.
Yet the city has money. The Treas
urer has been inundated by wealth
flowing through the tax and license
windows; it has hundreds of thousands
of dollars piled high in special funds
which it cannot get at till the end of
the year and so Its working moneys are
so depleted that not even $20,000 can
be secured for the much-needed new
jail before the first of the next fiscal
year. lt is openly charged that the
Council, by placing the tax rate at the
extreme limit allowed by the charter,
is raising $800,000 more his year" than
was collected' bv any of its predeces
sors, but this golden river has disap-
peared in the quicksands of municipal
extravagance.
Funds have been available, however,
to buy autos for sleek city officials but
at the same time the Council has been .
considering: the issuance of bonds to j

police say, confessed, and Implicated Mc-
liinty, a friend ol Uepew. btevens sala
McGinty. who has a reformatory record,

Cue to rob the office. JIcGlnty was ar
rested. He denies the charge.
Suicide Reveals Her Secret.
NEW "yORK. Jan. 29. After sending to
the newspapers the announcement of her
marriage, which took place September 21
last, Mrs. George B. Sears drank poison
last night and is now In a dying condi
tion at a hospital. Mrs. Sears was Miss
Augusta Bleckman, of St. Louis, and was
married when Fhe was 17 to Mr. d'Am
ron, of New Orleans. After a few years
they separated. On the table in her room
beside the bottle which had contained the
poison was found a note, asking that
Mrs. H. P. Niedringhaus, 5300 Maple ave
nue, St. Louis, be notified. There was also
a brief note for her husband. Mr. Sears
did not live in the same house with his
wife, but is said to have been a frequent
visitor there. He stated that he knew of
no reason why Mrs. Sears should have
attempted to commit suicide except that
she was to undergo a serious operation
February 3. He refused to state why the
marriage had been kept secret.
