OFFER II NEW PUN
Washington Hopgrowers Want
to Cut Down Output.
THEIR IDEA OF A UNION
Oregon Directors of Association May
Announce Today What Steps
They Will Take Trade
in Ijooal Market. '
Local hop men aro' much Interested in
the outcome of the canvass now beins made
by the promoters of the Hopgrowers' Union
movement In Oregon, and It was said yes
terday that an official announcement mluht
be expected today as to the success or fail
ure of the plan. A good many growers are
contemplating entering into contracts with
dealers, but having signed up with the asso
ciation, cannot take any stens until they
know whether the union plan will jro
through.
The hopgrowers of 'Washington will hold
an Important meeting at Puyallu'p today to
take action on the sublect of co-operation.
A great many growers of the northern state
are desirous of forming an association, but
not on the lines proposed by the California
and Oregon hop men. The Washington peo
plo want a union that will first of all. work
for a reduction of the output, believing that
when this object is accomplished, the mar
ket will take care of itself. They propose
to send a committee into this state to con
fer with the Oregon growers and try to
convert them to their idea, and they may
also send a committee to California.
Krcbs Bros., of Salem, are circulating the
following petition among the growers of
this state:
'We. the undersigned hopgrowers of Ore
gon, are opposed to the pending prohibition
measures which aim at the destruction of
the Oregon hop industry and aro a blow
to personal liberty, progress and prosperity.
We earnestly request you to oppose same."
Every grower in Oregon will be given an
opportunity to sign the petition, and when
all the signatures are in. it will be sent to
each of the Oregon Congressmen and Sena
tors at Washington.
The hop market exhibits a fair degree of
activity and In some sections It Is said to be
ertFier to buy than was the case last week,
though In other carts of the state growers
are not pressing Bales. The most impor
tant transaction yesterday was the sale of
the entire Hofer & Zorn crop of 800 bales
at Champoeg. The lot was bought by
Oscar Weldner and Ernest "Wells, but the
price was not learned. The same buyers
secured 200 bales at Hlllsboro.. The J. W.
Peavey Hon Company bought 203 bales of
choice hops on the West Side at $14 cents,
also fiii bales of lower grades at Sherwood,
jnd 72 bales at Eugene. ,
The latest reports received from the
English hop trade, bearing dates of Janu
ary 13 ' to January 15. follow:
Wild. Neame A Co.. London. There is
more Inquiry for bright, sound copper hops,
tut medium and low grades are more or
less neglected. Quotations are without al
teration. Manger & Henley.- London. The demand
for good copper hops continues, and some
considerable business has been done.
W. H. & H. LoMay. London. The busi
ness passing Is principally In the Low priced
hops suitable for copper purposes, but there
are a few inquiries for choice hops, the
prices for which are now very reasonable
and below the cost of production.
J. H. Meredith & Co.. Worcester. The
small consumptive demand prevailing for
Worcesters is mainly supplied out of mer
chants' stocks in the absence of any large
quantity offered by growers. Values aro
without alteration. Last week 35 pockets
passed the public scales, but the small sup
plies In first hands are generally held above
current values.
EGO QUOTATIONS ARE ADVANCING.
Cold Weather Sends Front-Street Prices rp
One Cent.
The sudden change to cold weather gave
the egg market a healthy boost yesterday,
and prices were quoted 1 cent higher than
on the previous day. Thursday, jobbers tried
to force sales hy making concessions, in
some cases offering to shade prices fully a
cent under the market; yesterday they did
not eeera to care whether they moved their
Mocks or not at full pricey. Buyers were
awake to the turn in the . market and
doubled the size of their purchases. It Is
purely a weather market now. and quota
tions will depend on climatic conditions.
Poultry prices alsd stiffened and the light
arrivals were worked off speedily. The only
thing that dragged was dressed geese, of
which an unusually large quantity was re
ceived. SOME SALES OF ONIONS REPORTED
Ontslde Conditions Affect the Market Po
tato Trade Dull.
More disposition to sell onions is shown by
growers In some of the nearby sections and
several cars are reported to have been taken
at $2.50t. " Other growers, however, are as
firm as ever and are holding out for $3 and
a few ol them ask $,3.25. The disturbing
factor is the movement of Eastern onions to
Coast points and the expected early arrival
of new-crop onions from other sections.
These facts give the market a somewhat
unsettled tone and tho speculative holders
do not entertain as cheerful views as they
did a short time ago. ,
The potato market is a dragging affair
and the tone is weak in response to easier
advices from the South.
WHEAT MARKET ONE CENT LOWER
Local Prices Drop in Sympathy With Slump
Eaet and Abroad.
The local wheat market went off another
cent yesterday in sympathy with the break
abroad and In the East. The heavy Argen
tine movement was given In advices as the
cause of the slump, but the opinion pre
vailed that manipulation nad" much to do
with It.
lxcal buyers were not disposed to operate
in view of the unsettled condition of the
world's markets and at the same .time it
was said, farmers were not offering their
wheat as freely as would be expected on a
fulling market. In some sections, however,
holders are showing, signs of weakening' as
tax time approaches.
WEATHER CHECKS PRODUCE TRADE
Shipping Budiness Is Eneclally Affected by
the Freezing Temperature.
Th cold wave checked trading materially
In the fresh produce line yesterday and the
dealers devoted more time to protecting
their stocks from the freezing temperature
han to filling orders. Shipping business es
pecially was affected, owing to the lack of
refrigerator cars, as It was considered risky
business to use ordinary freight cars under
the circumstances. No produce losses were
reported nlong the street, but it was said a
considerable quantity of potatoes were
frozen on the docks.
There were no carlot arrivals during the
day and prices were generally maintained.

DRIFT IS SLUGGISH
Absence of Animation in the
Stock Market.
PRICE CHANGES NARROW
Dullness Increases After the Appear
ance of the President's Message.
Korccasts of the Bank State
ment Are Favorable.
It would be difficult to deduce any well
formed opinion of the outlook for business
prosperity or the future values of securities
from the desultory drift of prices and the
insignificant dealings in today's stock market.
It was assumed during the dull period of the
morning that the appearance of the Presl
dent's message was awaited, but when Its
publication was followed by even greater
dullness, the conclusion was forced that no
radical shifting of ownership of stocks was
being prompted by the communication of the
Chief Executive's views to Congress. Prices
hardened Immediately after the circulation of
the printed report of the message, but It
was obvious that this was a professional
movement on the part of those who had sold
stocks yesterday on the supposed direction
takes by the expressed animosity on the
document and were seeking the occasion of
Us publication to get their stocks back again.
The late afternoon presented an appearance
of almost complete stagnation In the mar
ket. Operations in a few epeclal stocks were
without influential effect, as the lifft moved
in contrary directions, illustrating the entire
lack of any consistent trend to the move
ments. In one case this was due to the trans
fer of a considerable speculative amount from
one stock to another by selling one and re-
buying the other, sales of Pennsylvania being
made against purchases of Reading. There
was an attempt to arouse interest in the unit
ed States Steel stocks and connect a rise In
their prices with the consultations among
leaders In the steel business, which were in
progress In this city yesterday.
Preliminary estimates of the week's cur
rency movement indicated another large ad
dition to cash holdings of the New York
Clearlng-House banks, although the flow of
funds from the Interior appears to be on a
much diminished ecale from that of last week
and the week before. The end of the month
requirements, coming together with the usual
special demand of a Friday at the stock ex
change to carry over loans until the follow
ing Monday, had a probable effect on the
ease of the call? money market. There seems
to be a feeling that the willingness of the
combined Glearing-House banks to see the
weaker members drop out without offering the
customary means to tide them over argues
a confidence in exemption from harm to the
general banking position, that is In Itself a
tribute to Its strength.
The official announcement of a coming issue
of J00.C0O.000 of New York City 4 per cent
bonds offered material for much conjecture
as to the possible success of the flotation and
the average premium which may be obtained.
The ready absorption of the wbole amount
is taken for granted, but the price It may
bring will have an Important bearing, as an
Index of the present eagerness .of capital In
seeking an Investment on the prospect for
other Intended .capital Issues.
Bonds were Irregular. Total sales, . par
value, $4,380,000. United States registered

TRADE IS DEMORALIZED
Enormous Shipments From Argen

Coarse Grains Also Af
fected by the Drop.
CHICAGO, Jan. 31. When it was an
nounced at the opening of the market that
the shipments from Argentina were 5,045,000
bushels, the largest ever exported in any
week from that country, the market broke
badly. Large holders sold out, in some cases,
apparently, regardless of price. Pit traders
joined in the selling movement which re
sulted In an almost demoralized condition.
Prices at the opening were about 1 cent
lower compared with the final quotation of.
yesterday and the decline continued until
May had touched 95H which was more
than 3o below the close of yesterday. A
' small part of the loss was regained during
the last few minutes of trading, but the
close was weak. May opened 4c to
1J Hc lower at 97 98c, sold off to 95&C
and closed at 93 c. .
The violent decline In wheat caused a
weak market for corn. The buying was
scattered and mostly by shorts. The market
closed weak. May corn opened c lower
at 00 60 He. sold oft to 98c and closed at
68 c.
Oats were also bearlshly affected by the
break in wheat prices, being off c.
The market closed weak. May opened un
changed to He lower at 524i'32c, sold
off to 5H4c and closed at 31 &c.
Provisions opened firm, but the market
soon yielded along with grain. May pork
closed 4o lower, ribs were 2022ic lower
and lard was 17c lower.

IMPROVEMENT IS SLOW
TRADE AND FIXAXCIAL DEVEIi
OPMEXTS IRREGULAR.
Conservatism In Buying Is a Country-Wide
Condition Failures
Are Decreasing.
NEW YORK. Jan. 31. Bradstreet's to
morrow will say:
Trade and financial developments have
been of a rather irregular character, but on
the whole In the direction of Improvement
at the larger centers. Conservatism in
ordering is noted as a country-wide condi
tion, but recent - price reductions have un
questionably stimulated Interest. The sus
pension of four banks at the metropolis was.
after all. only negatively unfavorable, these
being the aftermath of last autumn's finan
cial storm. Underlying financial conditions
are certainly no less favorable, money shows
Increasing ease, not only in this country,
but all over the world, and improvement in
collections, which are still slow as a whole,
is in many cases the result of easier money.
The week's failures total Is the smallest
for a month rtast.
Lower prices for builders' -hardware are
reported to have stimulated some Inquiry,
and there is talk of possible cutting of
plumber prices, which is not, however, likely
to prove permanent with any particular ex
pansion In activity In the Spring. The can
collation of orders Is still a disturbing ques
tion In some lines, but there seems this
week to be rather more reports of rein
statement of orders previously rejected.
Tanners are buying hides very conserva
tively. There are widespread reports of large
numbers of unemployed in all sections of
the country, and some Southern reports
point to a return, by idle city labor, to the
farms.
Pig iron continued quiet, despite com
paratively low prices. Stocks are said lo
be light, and In the Pittsburg district, ship
ments exceed production. Finishing mills
are a little more active, but on' the whole
recovery is slow.
Business failures in the United States for
the week ending January 30. number 350.
acainst 409 last week. 211 in the like week
of 1907. 22S in 1900i 239 in 1905. and 216
in 1904. There were 44 failures In Canada
this week, against 51 last week and 26 in
this week a year ago.
Wheat, including flour, exports from the
United States and Canada, for the week
ending January 80. aggregated 4.328,205
bushels, against 2.102.261 this week last year.
For the 31 weeks of the fiscal year, the ex
ports are 140.050,220 bushels, against 110,
063,682 bushels In 1906-07.
Bank Clearings.
NEW YORK, Jan. 81. Bradstreet's bank
clearings report for the week ending Janu
ary 30, shows an aggregate of $2,287,418,000,
as against $2,717,775,000 last week, and $2,
fc34.744.000 in the corresponding week last
year. Canadian clearings for the week,
total $65,355,000, as against $75,495,000 last

RETAILKKS STOCKS MICH REDUCED.
Favorable Feature Is Demand for Prompt
Delivery By Buyers.
NEW YORK, Jan. 31. R. G. Dun fc Co.'s
weekly review of trade tomorrow will say:
Seasonable weather and a further increase
in the percentage of active machinery com
bined to improve the trade situation, al
though there Is still a larg-e number of un
employed, and dealers proceed cautiously
in preparing for future bu;inf?js. Prices of
commodities have declined on the whole,
yet nroducts of the leading industries are
fairly well maintained. Mercantile collec
tions are irregular, despite the ease .in the
money market. More Iron and steel plants
have resumed, and the outlook is brighter.
The situation is better because of the ex
tent to which consumers set.'k prompt de
livery. Indicating: that the recent Heaaon of
conservatism haa nearly exhausted stocks,
and suggesting that when confidence is fully
restored, a vast tonnage of deferred busi
ness will be d laced.
