Newspaper Page TextTHE MORNING OREGONIAN- -TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 11, 1908. 15 EVERY YEAR BIGGER Surplus Only Is Making Prog ress in Hop Industry. OPINION OF P. M. R'OONEY Growers Mufct Supply the Check to the Increasing Excess by Jlc duclng Acreage Smaller Demand Is Predicted. A reduction of hop acreago In the Western Lata, Is imperative. In the opinion of P. M. Ttooney, who has had large experience in the handling of hop, and has made the business a subject of close study. In a letter written to one of his California hop-growing friends ho gives the following figures and facta In jupport of hla contention: Growers' stocks. 1807 and lttOfi hops Bales. California :.o0 Orepun 3o.(K) Washington K.i.uO New York 12,000 Imports, remainder of season 2'J, (HX Brfwors" stocks, lOotJ crop 5o.K0 Prewer.v stocks, l:ti7 crop llu.C',10 I'ealers' stocks. lWG and 1W lo.coo Totnl 2SS.O0O Consumption In United states (20.000 bales j-er month) umll new crop... Exports before new crop liio.noo 3ft. too 19ft. con 2S3.0U0 WO. IX"-' Total requirements . .. Total supply Less requirements . ... Eces 87,000 'Assuming the figures herein given to be correct," wrote Mr. Rooney. "(not saying any thing about 20,000 or 30,000 bales that were bought two years ago by a prominent dealer, most of which he still holds), the question now arises., why should growers grow hops the coming season with starvation prices staring them In the face? "There is no question about our having a surplus of at loivst 87,000 hales at the be ginning of our next crop, and if the doaler referred to has on hand only 20.000 hales, this will leave us a surplus of 107.000 bales. California will grow 100,000 bales thlo year and New York CO.UtO bales. We will Import at least 10,000 bales, making with surplus on hand 277. 0C0 bales. As our consumption Is only 210,000 bales we would already .have a surplus, not counting Oregon and Washing ton, of 37,000 bales In the United States. "Hut say wo export 80,000 bales, which Is very doubtful, ae Kngland has had two suc cessive small crops, and as usual will re cover on the third, mo6t likely, we will then huve left, not counting a bale from Oregon or Washington. 107,000 bales." Mr. Rooney estimates Washington will grow at lea.t 40.000 bales, making with the 1007 surplus, 237,000 bales, against a normal consumption of 240.0CO balrs. which, because of the prohibition movement, is likely to be reduced at least '80.000 bales to 210.000. In other words, Ignoring Oregon production en . tlrely, there will be a surplus of 27,000 bales at the next harvest. Oregon, at. the very, least, he says, will produce 100,000 bales (and possibly 150,000 bales) and on the lower estimate It will leave a surplus of 127,000 bales to be carried over to th 1000 crop, larger by 10.000 bales than at the beginning of the IOCS crop. , Therefore, his advice is that . the growers who are carrying 1907 should ' get out from urder without delay, as he predicts the time is not far distant when "cents per pound" will be a -thing of the past, and all deals will bs made on the bas-ls of "so much per bale." lXrCAL GRAIN MARKET VERY DUTX. Former Prlcea Quoted. But Farmers Are Slow Kellers. The grain markets were very dull yester day. Wheat buyers quoted last week's prices, but reported offerings by farmers decidedly light. It is evident. In the pres ent mood of holders, that buyers will have to raise their bids before, much business re sults At the moment, however, the market wears a sick look, and as long as Argentina continues such a heavy shipper, there is not much chance for improvement.

Trade advices received from the East note a, most unsatisfactory condition in the prune market. While the situation, under normal conditions, - would be regarded as strong, statistically. In view of the lightness of Job bers' holdings and the depleted condition of stocks on the Coast, the market has never theless been weakened by the pressure to sell, with no corresponding vigor to the de mand. Eastern jobbers are making an ef fort to clean up' their supplies of 1900 stock, and this, together with the lots rejected or turned down out, of the 1907 crop, -consequent on the financial stringency in Novem ber and December, has a depressing- effect on values. Pricos are, of course, more or less nominal, owing to the dullness of tirade.' Eggs Decline Steadily. The egg market shows increasing weakness because of the liberal arrivals and slow buy ing. Most of the business was done around 24 cents, but one house cleaned up late in the day at 23 cents. The poultry market was in good shape for the few coops received, and steady prices are looked for this week. , The surplus of butter on Front street- is not as large as a week ago and the ton of the market Is. In that degree, improved. The city creamery market is quoted steady to firm. Freeh Produce Demand Good. Business was of good proportions in the fruit and vegetable line, yesterday. The day's receipts Included one car each of tan gerines and sweet potatoes, San Francisco advioes reported several cars of Eastern onions about . due there, which took soma of the firmness out of that market. Locally the onion trade was quiet. Potatoes are dragging, with no tops of a resumption In activity unless a lower freight rate to Southwestern points can be secured. Bank Clearing.

PRESSED FOR SALE Stocks Put on the Market at Declining Prices. FEELING OF APPREHENSION Speculators' Faith in the Karly Restoration of Normal Condi tions Is Shaken Weakness . in the Bond Market. NEW YORK, Feb. 10. The activity In atocks. which revived towards the end of last week, was notably extended today In the form of selling orders and a deep cut waa made in prices jn the course of the day's" operations. Stocks were industriously pressed for sale from all sides and as the demand was quite Inadequate to absorb these sales, there was a rapid decline In prices, with only oocaelonal check caused by the operations of professional operators. There was no striking new item of news to account for the apprehensive spirit reflected In the action of the market, but it was due to accumulative effect from misgivings felt for some time," while the influence on prices was aggravated by the sudden abandonment of a position on the-long side of the market which had been persisted in by" a speculative element. That element has been hopeful that the episode of last Fall In the country's finances was due to causeless fesrs and mis conception of the true strength of the bank ing position, and .that Its effect on general trade and business was immediately to pass away with the demonstration of the causeless ness of the fears which prompted what was in effect a universal run on the banks of the country. It is a trial of the faith of these looking for this quick revival of Industry when the money situation has become normal again to face the'returns of continued shrinkage in railroad traffic, reduction of factory forces and general lethargy In demand for products. The resulting discouragement is having the ef fect of driving some of the former hopeful speculators to the other extreme, where they profess to see only gloom and prospects of an indefinite prolongation of the depression. Such a position is quite characteristic of a large class of speculative operators. The Impression of hostile influences on the side of politics was heightened by the official recommendations for greater rigor in the col lection of the stock transfer and franchise taxes in New York state. Declining railroad earnings brought Into question future dividend disbursements. The shrinkage in profits also adds to the importance of the large financing which presses upon many corporations for set tlement. The Friday sale of New York City bonds is looked to as an important Index of conditions in the bond field. A pronounced success for that issue at liberal premium would be greatly reassuring, but the recent decline In the older New York bonds with the approach of the sale has affected confidence In the outcome. The decline in the older city bonds was arrested today In spite of the general weakness. The principal eufferers in the day's losses were stocks .which have been favorite mediums for a previous speculation for a rise. Some of the day's declines outside of these will be found moderate. Bonds were weak. Total sales $2,006,000. United States 2s registered advanced hk PeT cent on call. CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS. Closing Sales. High. Low. Bid.

Many of the telegrams have already been forwarded, while there are hundreds still here ready to be gent.

Mr. Krebs says that not all the growers have responded, but the greater number have done so. In al most every Instance, the grower who responded signed the telegram. .."In a few instances, perhaps a dozen in all," says Mr. Krebs, "the growers replied that they do not believe In the liquor business, that they want the Pro hibition movement to succeed and that they will not sign telegrams asking Sena tor Fulton to oppose the movement.

THANKS NORTHERN PACIFIC President of Merchants National Bank Appreciates Friendly Action. Appreciation of the friendly action of tlie Northern Pacific Railway Company In helping out the Merchants National Bank was expressed yesterday by Presi dent Watson, of the closed institution. The bank was the local depository of Northern Pacific funds and throughout the trouble the railroad company was very loyal to the institution. ' "When the run started on the Mer chants National Bank," said President Watson, "the Northern Pacific, instead of withdrawing its deposits, kept increas ing them. By the time our bank was forced to close, the Northern Pacific had three times its normal deposits and was in fact the biggest depositor we had. This certainly showed the good will of the company and that it wanted to help us all it could. ."Not only that, but when we asked the company, together With other depositors, to sign for time 'certificates in lieu of a part of its deposit, the officials imme diately signed up for the total amount of the Northern Pacific balance, to gether with fcrafts they held from the Merchants National drawn on New York. The bank fully appreciates the treatment it has received from the Northern jra ciflc Railway." DAILY CITY STATISTICS Bulldins Permits. . FLORENCE COCHRAN To erect two-story frame dwelling.
