PIGK BY MACHINE
Horst's Hoppicker to Be
ed in Australia.
Test-
PROMISES MADE FOR IT
Device, if Successful, Will Revolu
tionize the Industry Krebs In
vent a Plow to Cheapen
the Cost of Cultivation.
Clam Horst has shipped his much talked
of hopplcklng machine to Australia There
It will be given a. tryout before being set
to work in. his Pacific Coast yards. Hop
picking will begin In Australia in the latter
part of March. Mr. Hortrt intends to give
Ms machine a thorough test there, so that
any alterations necessary can be made be
I fore the picking season opens in the North
ern hemisphere. A final trial will be had
at the Horst yard at pleasanton. Cal... where
a considerable number of vines have been
grown in a hothouse and will mature about
eo days before the regular California crop
is ready for harvest.
No recent event in the hop world has at
tracted so much attention as the Invention
of this mechanical picker. Hopgrowers have
for years been trying to devise a machine
that would do the work, generally along
the lines of a vine-stripper, but it has here
tofore been found impossible to prevent the
mutilation of the burrs by the apparatus.
Hop men are. therefore, somewhat skeptical
as to the merits of the Horst machine.
Should the new picker be a success. It
will revolutionize the hop-growing industry
by greatly cheapening the cost of produc
tion, bringing th'e expense of this operation
down, to 10 cents per hundred pounds. Un
like other labor-saving devices, however, it
will cause little, if any increase in the con
sumption of the product. The yield Is now
fully up to the world's requirements, and
besides, the cost of the raw material Is not '
a great factor from the brewers" stand
point. One marked effect of the general use
of such a machine would be to rob the hop
yard of their most picturesque feature, the
annual gathering of the army of hop
pickers. The hop harvest has been a boon
to thousands of persons in the rural com
munities by furnishing them with ready
moyy at the commencement of each "Win
ter, and has also provided a healthful out
ing for large numbers of city people. The
passing of the old-time hop gathering will
be viewed with regret by all who have
ever participated in it, but the march of
progress cannot be stayed. The Horst picker,
however, may not yet be an assured suc
cess and it Is too early to say that hand
picking is doomed.
On top of the news of the mechanical hop
picker comes the announcement that Conrad
Krebs has Invented a combination hop
yard plow that will reduce the expense of
cultivation to a minimum. Mr. Krebs asserts
that his implement will, in one operation,
plow and cultivate the yard, trim the hills
and do everything necessary up to the point
of training the vines. The cost of this
work, represented In the dried product, will
be only tt-cent a pound.
HOP FCBCHABBS BY BENTS.
Iots Secured by Aurora Dealer in the Past
Week.

CITY CKKAMKRY MARKET IB FIRM
Eggs Go Off Another Cent-Good Demand
for Chickens.
There is a very firm feeling in the city
creamery market, as supplies are kept well
cleaned up, but the - manufacturers are
averse to putting up prices, considering
them high enough now. It Is expected
that the Increase in cream receipts will
soon be sufficient to relieve the tension.
Outside creamery holds steady.
Eggs continue . weak, as the out-of-town
and local demand is limited. Arrivals on
the street, however, are not as large as at
this time last year. (
There was a good Inquiry In the poultry
market, for chickens of all kinds and prices
were very Arm.
SLOW DEMAND FOR FRESH PRODUCE
But Stocks Are Kepi Down to the Proper
Tolnt.
Trade In the fruit and vegetable line can.
not be called brisk, but the jobbers have
adjusted their buying to the prevailing con
ditions and there is no oversupply of stock,
except on a few lines of consiuned goods.
Among the arrivals from the South yes
terday were three cars of bananas in good
green condition, two cars of oranges, two
of cauliflower and one of mixed vegetables.
Another car of assorted vegetables Is due
tomorrow. Prices generally were without
change.
Banana Trnst Barred From Texas.
The United FTult Company, better known
as the banana trust, which formerly operat
ed through Galveston, has, according; to ad
vices from that city, been denied admission
Into Texaa under penalty of prosecution for
violation of the anti-trust laws. The success
of two independent fruit Importing- com
panies whose vessels use Galveston exclu
sively prompted the trust to perfect ar
rangements to ag-aln invade that territory.
The state promises to protect the Independ
ent concerns. Several years ago the trust
went to Galveston and drove an independ
ent company from the field, after which the
trust withdrew from Texas and operates
now through New Orleans.
Grain Shippers Are More Hopeful.
Confidence is expressed In the wheat trade
that a turning point has been reached In
the market and that the long-deferred up
ward movement of prices is at hand, stim
ulated by the decreasing .Argentine ship
ments. There will have to be a demand
in Kurope for Pacific Coast cargoes, how
ever, before the local market will show
activity. A few transactions In the country
were reported yesterday, but for small quan
tities. Dealers quoted the trade price on
bluentem at S3 cents and on club at SI
cents.

GIVE UP IN DISGUST
Stock Traders Cannot Scalp
Even Smallest Profits.
MARKET IS NEGLECTED
Departure of Morgan to Europe Adds
to the Lifeless Condition of Wall
Street No Action Taken
on Erie Dividend.
NEW YORK, Feb. 26. The ataRnant con
dition Into which the stock market fell to
day leaves It a atetile field from whJch to
draw any lesson bearing on general affairs,
except as inferences may - be deduced neg
atively. The inference is fully justified, for
instance, that speculative Initiative has died
out of the market. No one Is willing to ex
press faith In future events through the me
dium of commitments In the market. Ir
resolution and apprehension are implied by thla
abstention.
The scanty attendance at the Stock Ex
change gave Its time to the discussion of the
grounds for this attitude. The contents of
the report of President Truesdale to the
stockholders of the Delaware. Lackawanna A
Western Railroad, to which much space was
given In the day's news, gave direction to this
discussion. It was known early in the day
that a message to Congress from the Presi
dent was to be sent In during the day. and
some repressive influence was assigned to
this. The neglected condition of the market
was unrelieved after the abstract of the mes
sage was Drinted.
The usually active first hour of the market
furnished less than 100.000 shares for trans
fer, the second hour's business dwindled to
60,000, and- the noon hour to half of that.
Professional room traders themselves gave
up In d 1 sgust their efforts to seal p a small
fraction of profit out of the sluggish price
movement.
Some stress was laid also upon the de
parture for Europe during the day of J. P.
Morgan for his annual Spring tour, as an
Indication that no important developments In
the financial world were in execution. Pro
fessional operators all drew freely on sup
positions regarding Mr. Morgan's activities
as a motive force for market movements, and
his absence from communication with Wall
street cuts off a fertile source of material
for professional operations.
The meeting and adjournment of the Erie
directors without taking action on the divi
dends on the two preferred classes of stocks
was not a surprise in view of the heavy de
clines In earnings of the company, the pre
liminary step taken In the declaration of the
last dividends in scrip and the failure of
authorisation of that action up to this time
by the New York Public Service Commis
sion. The Krle stocks hardened sllgtitly after
the non-action of the directors became known.
The sluggish movement of prices ehowed the
same tendency as for several days to retrace
its early course during the later portion of
the day. v
Bonds were heavy. Total sales par value
$1,812,000. United States bond's were un
changed on call.

SELLING AT CLOSE
Chicago Wheat Market Weak
ens After Strong Session.
UNLOADING BY ELEVATOR
Bullish Factors During the Day Are
Higher Cables, Small Primary
Receipts and" Strong
Cash Demand.
CHICAGO. Feb. 26. The wheat market
was strong nearly all day on an active gen
eral demand, but weakened later In the ses
sion and closed near the lowest point of
he day. tales of about 2.500.000 bushels
by a leading elevator concern, together with
neavy realizing sales, caused the stump near
the close.- The strength during the greater
part of the session was due 'to firm cables
and small- primary receipts and a continued
lively demand for cash wheat here and for
Minneapolis. May opened a shade lower to
''0 c higher at 95o to 96c, advanced to
96o and then declined to 95c. The close
was easy at 951495'4c.
Com was strong all day. but sentiment
was less bullish near th close because of
the weakness of wheat. The chief strength
ening influence was an estimate of the
farm reserves in Illinois. Indicating a ma
terial reduction from the figures for the cor
responding time last year. An advance of
14 U lc In the price of cash corn was an
other bullish factor. May opened 14c to
14'S'c higher, at 6074c to 607461c. sold
off to 6074 0 to 6074 61c, sold off to 60 c
and advanced to 6114c. The close was
firm at 61c.
Trading in oats was more active than for
soms time past and the market was strong.
The bullish features were heavy buying by
bulls and an estimate showing a radical
decrease in the amount of farm reserves,
as compared with last year. May opened
Vie higher at 52c to 5274c, advanced
to 63 lie and closed at 03c.
Provisions were weak ail day on selling by
local Backers, which was based on a 5-;
decline In live hogs. At the close May pork
was off 15c lard was 5c lower and ribs
were 5714c lower.

loch from Sun Francisco, In all proba
bility will perish before the relief ex
pedition reaches Yakutat. according to
advices received here today.
A terrlbfe storm, with a gale blowing;
60 miles an hour. Is reported off the,
northern coast, and the McCulIoch and
Thetis have had to temporarily ittve'
up the voyage to Alaska and put into
Neah Bay for shelter. This report came
to the Merchants" Exchange In this
city, and, Judging from th; severity
of tne storm, it would have been use
less for either of the revenue cutters
to have attempted to keep on to its
destination.
BONDS FOR CITY DOCK
St. John Council Will Submit Ques
tion to Voters.
The City Council of St. John, at lt
regular meeting Tuesday night. In
structed the City Attorney to prepare
an ordinance authorizing tne Issuing of
60,000 of improvement bonds to be used
in the purchase of a site and erection of
public dock. The, site, on which an
option has already been secured from
Holbrook & Bingham, is at the foot of
Fhiladephia street, on both sides of the
street, and Is valued at t;3,SC0. It 13 ex
pected that the dock will be 100x500 feet
and that the total cost will be J5S.0OO.
These bonds will be voted on at the
April election.
It was the judsment of the Councit
that some provision should be made for
securing paving material for the streets
of St. John. Several propositions have
been submitted to the Council to sell
the city a rock crusher. One was sub
mitted Tuesday night for the city to pny
$1000 cash on a crusher, and have three
years' time in which to complete the
payment, The total cost of the plant
would be $0o0. Where the rock would
be obtained Is still a problem. Council
men Doble, Walker and Lindquist wer
appointed to ascertain if a quarry can
be secured on the west side of the
Willamette River opposite St. John. The
county has been estopped from blasting
In the quarry lower down, but it Is
thought that by going further back from
the river a suitable quarry can bo found,
and If so the offer of Howes & ' Co.
may be accepted. This seemed to the
Council the only way to secure material
for paving streets, as there Is no rock
on the east side of the river.
The free ferry proposition has been
hung up Indefinitely, as it was found
that it' would be necessary for the
county to obtain authority from the
Legislature to operate a free ferry.
ITnder the circumstances the 'Council
tabled the measure.
