THE 3I0RNING OREGONIAX, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 15, 1D0S. 15 STILL HAVE HOPE Hop Union Organizers Do Not Give Up. HOLD ANOTHER MEETING Heavy Buying for London Account by Bents Lachmnnd & Pincus to Bo Paul Horst's Representatives. Th promoters of the hop union plan evi dently have not given up hope of organizing the growers, as a meeting will be lie.d at Salem today at which it is understood ail the temporary directors of the state will be present. The general opinion was that the movement had fallen through, when Conrad Kreb announced Its failure a, week ago, but it is said now that the organizers will try to revive It on a smaller acreage basis than was first proposed. Whether or not they can enlist the co-operation of growers now remains to be seen. It is so plain that the cause of the depression in the market Is verprdouction that it would seem the ob jects of the association should be the reme dying of this evil and to follow this course the bylaws as proposed would have to be radically altered. The litigation between the Salem firm, of iAchmund & Pincus and Paul R. G. Horst fcas been brought to an end, and the several oases In court dismissed. Lachmund 4b Pincus will continue in the future to be Mr. Horst's representative in Oregon. Paul Horst is the boldest operator the market has ever known and the trade is curious to learn what his next move will be, whether he will take the bear side, or in spite of the handi cap of his present unprofitable holdings, launch another bull campaign. A considerable degree of activity is again reported in the market at the low level to which prices have fallen. Henry I Bents, of Aurora, has in the last few days bought for London account nearly 1000 bales at prices ranging from 5 to 5 cents. Hart & Hubbard are also buying, Henry Hubbard having secured the I -an 5 St pooler lot of 106 bales at Salem at 5 cents and Ross Wood getting a lot of 180 bales on the East Side at 4ft cents. There Is a little contracting going on on the basis of 10 and 11 cents for three-year terms. This forward buying Is to cover sales previously made by dealers to brewers and Is not, so far as can be learned, on speculative account. Ironmonger of London yesterday cabled to Isaac Pincus & Sons, of Tacoma: "Market is showing rather a declining ten dency. Only a few dealers are in the mar ket." ORKt.ON APPLES IN LONDON MARKET Bt N towns Bringing 14s Per Box but Much Inferior Stock Offering. The latest weekly apple letter of W. lennis & Sons, of London, says: Since our last, we have very little to re port from this side. With the exception of Nova Scot lane, there have been very few apples on the market. We have sold some few Canadian apples this week. Baldwins from ISs to 20s. and Greenings from 17s to 28. but the latter variety was not at- all satisfactory, being very dull In appearance. With regard to Nova Seotians, we have bn making from liSs to 16s per barrel for Baldwins, 15s to ls for Golden Russets and lis to 14s for Greenings, but the bulk of this stuff is coming forward in poor con dition, being undersized and dull in ap pearance. Maine Baldwins are selling from 13e to 1Kb per barrel. Watsonvtlle Newtowns have been selling t $s to 8s 6d for the 4-tler and 0s to 7s for the 4H- For Oregon the top price ob tained has been 14s per box, but there has b?n a loi of inferior quality stuff here real izing from Ss to Ss Od per box, 4 and 4 Ma tter. There is a lack of good apples upon this market, the great bulk of present arrivals being very poor stufT and prices have been ery unsatisfactory accordingly. The mar ket is in good shape, and for anything of tip-top quality, good prices can be obtained. MOVEMENT OF EASTERN ONIONS. More Coming to the Coast Than Expected, but Market Is Firm. The onion market was quiet yesterday, but the few sales made were at the previous prlre. Farmers are holding firm and will only part with their goods at full values. The movement of Eastern onions- proves to be somewhat heavier than expected, but nan not affected the market. One car reached fsnattle recently, but three or four are due there. Arrivals at San Francisco yesterday were three can from Oregon and one from the East. The local produce market was active and good progress was made in cleaning up the previous day's receipts. No carlot arrivals were reported, but one car each of sweet po tatoes, cauliflower and oranges are due to day. LOCAL WHEAT QUOTATIONS DOWN. Pome tic Flour Is Also Weak and a De cline In Probable. Local wheat quotations were reduced 1 cent all around yesterday. Buying was on a light scaie ann rarmer s offerings were reported very small. The trade, however, look for a freer selling movement soon, owing to the approach of tax time. There la a feeling in some quarters that the slump in the world's markets has about exhausted itself, and a moderate reaction In prices can be looked for. The domestic flour market is weak and a decline in prices in the next few days Is probable. There is some inquiry for flour on export account, but no business of importance Is na.-wring here, though sales are reported from the Sound. 1 DATES OF EASTERN WOOL SALES.

Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade tomorrow will say: "There is a steady decrease in the per centage of idle machinery, especially in the steel industries, which Increases the size of payrolls and by raising the purchasing pow er of the wage-earners, improves retail trade. Thus far, progress is slow in whole sale and Jobbing departments, but as retail stocks are depleted there is more disposition to place orders for Spring goods. v Reports are still Irregular, some sections of the country recovering more rapidly than oth ers, and a few interior cities record business even better than at this time last year. "Hides pursue the usual downward course, as receipts show the seasonable deteriora tion in quality, February and late January saltings finding scarcely any buyers. Eastern Mining Stocks.

RECORD NUMBER OF BIDS Stock Market Shows Much Under lying Strength, With Pacifies the Features Forecast of Bank Statement. NEW TORK, Feb. 14. The stock market today was still regarded as largely made up of a contest between professional parties in the speculation with very small outside par ticipation. The contest was waged with varying fortunes and a good deal of ob stinacy before each party obtained decisive advantage. The number of shifts In the course of the price movement up to noon was unusual. At that time the bears gave signs of being discomfited and the ad vance in prices was quite aggressive. The sentimental effect of the prominent stocks which led the advance was consider able, owing to the large speculative follow ing always found in those stocks and the inclination of operators in other stocks to act in accordance with the movement of the leaders. Thus, with St. Paul, Union Pacific, the two Hill stocks and Reading moving strongly upwards, the bulls had a formid able Influence enlisted on their side. An ef fective supplementary force was brought forward In the United States Steel preferred issues when the railroad stocks began to show indications of sagging. There was no special news to account for the strength which developed. Closing up of short ac counts was an effective factor. Much discussion centered about the New York City bond sale and current expectation of a favorable outcome made a sustaining element In the day's speculation. No details of the average price of bonds were' avail able up to the time the stock market closed, but favorable auguries were drawn from the large number of bids reported as coming into the City Controller's office during the day. News that the number of bidders had reached the record of 1031. compared with the previous record total of the September bids, which reached 8S6, revived the late strength in stocks. Later the stock market became pronouncedly dull in the desire to await information on the bond .sales. Some remittance from abroad by foreign ers desiring to participate in the new loan was an element in the further decline in the foreign exchange market, in spite of some selling here for foreign account of other American securities. Weakness in the London market for copper metal did not prevent the copper Industrials from sharing in the day's rise In prices. The local money market was un affected seemingly by the demand to partici pate in the New Tork City loan, money continuing to loan on call at almost nominal rates and the demand for time loans being light. Forecasts of the week's currency move ment pointed to a cash gain in the neigh borhood of $5,000,000. of which an import ant portion was yielded by Subtreasury op erations. This gain, in turn, is mostly due to presentation for exchange into legal tenders to serve In their reserves by the banks of bank notes received in their in terior receipts. Not only the large cur rency redemption of bank notes but the heavy deposits of lawful money at the Treasury Department reflect the rapid rate of retirement of bank notes from circulation. Tomorrow's bank' statement in the new form will have added Interest from the corapari sons to be made with the first statement last Saturday and also to the fact that in terchanges between the banks and trust companies, purely In preparation for that Initial showing, will not throw out the normal course of the week's banking figures The bid of 1.03377 by a syndicate for all of the 50-year New York bonds ' was un heralded by any rumor, and in itself secures a better average price than, that, this ex ceeding considerably the preliminary esti mates by bond experts of what the bonds would bring, which ranged from 1.02 to a shade above l.Oi. The result clearly ex ceeded expectations. The Jump in the old 4s to 1.064 at the last on the stock ex change was testimony to this fact. Bonds were firm. Total sales, par value, $1,928,000. United States bonds were un changed on call. CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS. Closing sales. Hlgn. Low. Bin. Adams' Express 175 Amal.

Big Argentina Shipments Cov- . ering by Shorts Causes a Reaction. CHICAGO. Feb. 14. The wheat market opened extremely weak because of the ex ceedingly heavy shipments of wheat from Argentina for the week. Total exports from that country aggregated 7.512.000 bushels, surpassing the estimates of yesterday by almost 1.000.000 bushels. As a result of this enormous shipment, wheat experienced se vere declines at all European grain centers, prices at Liverpool being more than two pence lower than on the preceding day. The local market waa bearishly affected by the foreign situation all day, but a much stead- er tone developed during the last half hour because of buying by shorts. The close was fairly steady. May opened Hlc lower at 92,i!g93c, sold at 92c, advanced to 03ii(593c and closed at 93c The corn market was weak early in the day because of the break In wheat. Later the greater part of the loss waa recovered because of unfavorable weather in the corn belt. The close was steady at 60c for May. Trade in oats waa very light and the market was governed by wheat ' and corn. May closed at 62viSi52c. provisions were weak all day because or the early weakness of grain and a decline of 10 15c in the price of live hogs. Trade was heavy.
