Paul Horst Believes Union
Talk Hurts Hop Industry.
QUESTION OF PRODUCTION
Kise in Market Would Help Him
Most, but Present Agitation Will
Only Make Things Worse
for the Grower.
Paul R. G. Horst. the New Tork Tiop
dealer and speculator, who would probably
profit more than anyone else in the United
States by a rise In the hop market, as he
is carrvInR 30,000 bales, believes that the
market can only be adverse!- affected by
the Hnpgrowers' Union talk. . He says that
the nrnuress of organization to date has
shown the movement to be a failure, and.
therefore, the promoters should call It oft
at on-ce.
Mr. Horst says that as the depression in
the hop market Is due to overproduction,
the encouragement that has lately been
growers will cause them to
increase their output further this Fall, and
next season's market will be even worse
than this one.
"With the stocks now- carried by brewers
and -the carryover supply in the X.'nlted
Slates." said Mr. Horst yesterday, "there
.vlll be enouph for consumptive require
ments without a pound of hops beins raised
this year, in addftton to the blow the pro
hibition sentiment has iriven the bop in
dustry, not only In this country but In
England as well, the brewers have found
a way. hy means of Improved machinery, to
Bet along with less hops to the barrel, some
of them using- one-half pound to the barrel
niW4 This economy is in line with the
chanpe taking place in the character of the
American beers, and. of course, it directly
affects the position of the producer.
"It is rtie small (rrower. Iiowever. who Is
suffering; most and he will find it necessary
to turn his attention to other agricultural
pursuits. Tho lame growers, especially the
rrower dealers, will be able not only to keep
coins but to increase their output as well.
This is shown by the fact that Clemens
Worst, who now raises 30,000 bales, is
planting KOO acres more to hops in Cali
fornia, while J,ilienthal is putting out 7S0
acres and Touis Horst is Increasing "his
yards by 500 acres. .Clemens Horst's new
hop-picking machine, which was used suc
cessfully last season, U being perfected
and it will enable hlin to put hops in the
hale at a total cost of 3 or 4 cents a pound.
With all these things rtarlng them in the
face, the outlook is certainly gloomy for
the small growers, and I don't think they,
should be deluded any longer with fake
promises."
FltriT AND VEGETABLE TRADE SLOW
Condition of the San Francisco Potato and
Onion Markets.
Dullness still prevails In the fresh produce
line and a return to the usual Winter
weather will be necessary before the de-
nand is stimulated. Receipts were light
yesterday,, consisting only of one car of
Oranges and a miscellaneous lot of vege
tables received by steamer.
Shippers who have onions in transit South
are uneasy over their condition, as the
shipments were made In box cars, because
.if the lack of refrigerator cars. Borne new
business Is reported on the basis of last
week's prices. The-potato market is slow
and unchanged The latest rhftll ' advices
from San Francisco say of the potato and
onion markets:
With retailers and jobbers liberally sup
plied and confining their operations to the
narrowest possible limits, the market for
table potatoes remains in poor shape for the
selling Interests and there Is a heavy ac
cumulation on hand, which Is being added
to dally. Salinas and Lompoc Burbanks are
nuoted lower at 8."ctf??l-35 and the quota
tions for these and other descriptions are
being shaded by sellers in their efforts to
reduce stocks. Early rose and garnet chiles
are in request for seed purposes, and with
' the supply limited, prices for them are easily
maintained at icf f 1.23. The onion market
remains strong at $2.7503 on continued
light arrivals.
EGG MARKET BECOMES UNSETTLED
Rising Temperature Takee Stiffness Out of
Local Prices.
The egg market was quoted firm yester
day morning at 2627 cents, but with the
rising temperature later in the day, condi
tions became unsettled and dealers were
more anxious to make sales. Receipts were
lighter, but the slowing down is only tem
porary and warm rainy weather will soon
bring the market back to 25 cents because
of freer receipts.
Poultry arrivals -were small and prices
were more or less nominal.

LACK OF INTEREST
Tone Dull and Heavy in the
Stock Market.
ONLY A SHORT DEMAND
llock Island Affected by Damaging
Rumors- Concerning Its Fl-nances-r-I;ess
Probability
of Gold Exports.
NEW YORK. Feb. 3. The ull and fceavy
tone of the Block market today m du
largely to suspended interest on the part of
apeculator, and Investors alike. Tho -weakness
of the early part of the session was
clearly due to activity on the part of a pro
fessional element on the short side of the
market; and this selling was partly covered
hy re-purchases before the end of the ses
sion. Beyond this demand from the un
covered short Interest, there was little sign
of any absorptive power.
Very bold and damaging; assertions were
circulated today concerning: the finances of
the Rock Island, affectlns many of the se
curities of the company, including- the etocks
both of the parent and the subsidiary com
panies and the collateral bonds secured by
old Rock Island stock and those secured by
St. Louis & San Francisco stock. The
mortgage bonds of the companies In the sys
tem were but slightly affected. Officials of
the company and banker associated In its
financial operations denied that there was
any ground for the rumors of embarrassment.
The unsupported condition of the securities,
however, had a depressing- effect on the
whole Met,
A sharp reaction in the foreign exchange
market quieted the discussion of a possible
early outward movement of gold. A ship
ment of 5O0.CO0 in gold to Argentina, re
ported lats on' Saturday, -was explained as a
special transaction. The losa by the banks
on Saturday of J2.109.000 on Bub-Treasury
operations was caused by a payment to the
Government of a maturing note of the Cen
tral Pacific in the periodical settlement of
the old Pacific Railroad debt. Payment of
subscriptions on St. Paul 'new stock called
for $10,000,000. The money market was not
perceptibly affected by these development.
Railroad traffic officials had no Increase in
business to report. ' A decline in- the price
of copper at the New York Metal Exchange
and also In the price of London copper war
rants was .but lightly reflected In the prices
of copper, Industrial and mining etocks. The
United States Steel stockB also were rela
tively little affected by the general heavy
tone.
The bond market was weak,' the Rock
Upland collateral bonds . forming the con
spicuous instance. Total sales, par value,
$2,705,000. United States bonds were un
changed on call.

Breeoh-BIock of Gun Enters Eye
Cavity Sight May Be Saved.
ST. HELENS, Or., Feb, 3. (Special.)
Dr. Harry R. Cliff reports a most re
markable accident from the Deer Island
neighborhood. C. Robron was out hunt
ing last Saturday, and was using; smoke
less powder in a black powder gun. when
the breech 'block blew back, penetrating
trie head, through the cavity of the eye,
a distance of two and a quarter Inches.
Friends tried to extricate the piece of
metal, but fortunately for Mr. Rebron,
they were unsuccessful. When the doc
tor arrived, he procured a similar breech
black, and by Its shape saw that it could
not have been drawn straight out with
out breaking the bone, but after consid
erable manipulation, he succeeded in
withdrawing it. Rebron was taken to
the hospital In Portland Sunday night,
and to the doctor's astonishment, an ex
amination of the eye showed that the
sight had not been destroyed, and it Is
hoped that It may be entirely restored,
though the caso has not sufficiently pro
gressed for that to be assured.
