XPORT-HDP BUYING
Foreign Orders Strengthen
Market for Better Grades.
POOR QUALITY NEGLECTED
English Brewers Slocking l"p at
Current Prices' Against Future
Needs Continental Brewers
Provided for Intil 1 90.
There ia a, first-class export demand for
hops and the buying under way In 'the sev
eral sections gives tbe market an appear
ance of considerable activity. The foreign
Inquiry has alio been the means of Imparting-
more firmness to the market as the
compet ltlon between buyers has become
keen in some localities. -The better feel
ing, however, does not extend to the poorer
grades of hops and anything below a prime
Is hard to move, even at concessions. The
demand Is solely for prime and choice hops
and these qualities find ready buyers. The
top price known to have been paid was &
cents. Since the export buying movement
et in, about M)(0 bales have changed hands.
There Js said to b absolutely no inquiry
from the Eastern trade.
The export orders are attributed by deal
ers largely to the attractiveness of current
prices, which have led the KngMsh brewers
to stock up heavily against future needs.
This free buying now is not going to help
next season's market. Many of the leading
American brewers claim to have enough
hops to last them for two years and if the
English are going to provide for their re
quirements In the same way, the market
will be a sorry one next Fall. The con
tinental situation, too, looks bad from a
producer's standpoint. Mayer Dinkel, of
Nuremberg, one of the largest hop mer
chants In Europe, write to Klaber, Wolf
& Netter that brewers on the Continent
are stocked up to April 1, 11K9, minimum
requirements, and July 1, 1909. maximum;
and even a crop failure will not cause pay
ing prices for 10O8 hops. He writes that
94HU to 10.000 hundredweight are left un
rold on the Continent, 75 per cent of which
are of poor quality.
.The agitation in England for an Import
fluty on foreign hops Is giving to the Amer
ican trade some concern, but it is not
ihodght the British Government will break
Into its free trade' policy for the benefit
f the comparatively small number otf
' x rowers. A parliamentary committee has
aeen appointed to inquire into the matter
ind that will probably be the last of It.
The effort to form a growers' combination
3n this (.'oast gave the English agitation Its
impetus, but by this time the groers over
".here have learned that the union move
ment It a failure, and will probably seek
ome other method of bolstering up their
languishing Industry.

were not reduced.
The butter market continues steady at un
changed quotations.

Flour Orders From Orient.
TACOMA. Wash.. - March 5. (Special.)
The flour-mills have received a few orders
recently from the Orient, principally from.
North 'China ports. Export flour is 20 cents
a barrel lower than It was a month ago, and
this decline seems to have benefited tbe
market slightly. There is scarcely any bus
iness done with Japan and Hongkong, as
the Japanese and Hongkong dealers are
holding- off in hope "that the price of export
flour will go still lower.
The millers look upon these few orders
as feelers, and if the price of wheat Is not
advanced they expect the orders to be fol
lowed by others.

IRON TRADE BETTER
Slight Improvement Reported
in That Industry.
EFFECT ON STOCK MARKET
Prlcea Advance Slightly in Opening
Dealings, but Demand Is Insig-,
nifieant Drop in English
Bank Kate of Xo Effect.
NEW IOEK, March 5. Professional opera
tions in the stock market were on a larg-er
scale than recently during th. erly hours of
the day's session. Discouragement then over
came the traders again at th. small response
attracted by their efforts and shortly after
midday the market ha,d swung back Into leth
argy. The price fluctuations were narrow
and the bulk of the day's moderate business
was -transacted at prices higher than the
closing last night. Trader, were inclined to
operate on the long side of the market be
cause of the scanty supply of floating stock
In the market available for overcoming short
contracts.
Added to this negative attraction of the
.long side were several developments In th.
news which were Interpreted as hopeful of
improvement In business conditions. The two
leading organs of the Iron trade were agreed
in th. optnion that a slight and slow Improve
ment is occurring in that industry and its
allied branches. The maintenance of the divi
dend requirement in spite of the . falling off
of net earnings was a contributory influence
In the feeling of confidence regarding the Iron
outlook. A modifying Influence was the re
port of some shading of the prices of iron
In different markets and uncertainty over
future prices.
Th. stock market element had thrown off.
to some extent, the fright of yesterday over
the Hepburn bill to tax stock transfers. As
sertion that- tbia plan was tb have adminis
tration support brought out a citation from
President Roosevelt's last message to Con
gress which was given general circulation
about the stock exchange, in which he said:
"The great bulk of the business transacted
on the exchanges Is not only legltima, but
necessary, and extreme care will have to be
taken not to .interfere with this business in
doing away with the bucket-shop type of
operation." This quotation afforded some
comfort to the disturbed minds of the brokers.
The reduction in the Bank of England offi
cial discount rate had slight effect abroad
or here. An item in the day's news that gave
gratification was the decrease In the surplus
of freight cars reported by the American
Railway Association, the number reported on
February 18 falling to 320,513, compared with
343.028 on February 8. An Important bank
failure ia Rio de Janeiro had a damping effect
on such life as the market showed. .Another
reduction in the . price of copper metal was of
depressing Influence on the coppers. The
day's uncertain movement ended with little
change from last night's prices.
Bonds were irregular. Total sales, $1,620,
000. United States 3s declined i4 per cent on
call.

Government Chemist Says Effect
Bad, Even in Small Quantities.
Opposed to ' Saloons.
WASHINGTON, March 5. In a
eigned statement, -riven out tonigrht.
Dr. H. W. Wiley, Chief of the Bureau
of Chemistry of the Department of
Agriculture, makes a vigorous denial
of statements he is alleged to have
made recently one to the effect that
"the man who- never takes a drink: is
a "mollycoddle." "
The statements attributed to Dr.
Wiley in regard to whisky and alcohol
are said to have been made in an ad
dress before the University Club, in
Washington, on Saturday night, Feb
ruary 29, and he declares they "are
wholly unwarranted by the facts."
Dr. Wiley is credited also with hav
ing said in effect that lt will be a sorry
day for this country if "booze" is ever
banished from its domains, and that he
would have the young man drink whis
ky, not only for his stomach's sake, but
to give him nerve, ' self-reliance, etc.
Here is what Dr. Wiley states he ac
tually did say on the occasion referred
to:
I said I believed the general effect of
alcohol on mankind was wholly bad; that
it was bad even in small quantities; that,
if distilled beverages, such as whisky,
brandy and rum, had any good effects, they
were due to the fact that aromatic and
fragrant substances therein stimulated the
digestive secretions and thus overcame to a
certain extent the bad effect of the al
cohol which they contained.
I further eaid that I wa in. theory a pro
hibitionist, 'but there were practical diffi
culties in the way of prohibition and the
better plan -would be to abolish the sa
loons and that. If people wanted to drink
distilled beverages, they should do so quiet
ly at their homes and with their food and
not in saloons. I did not suggest nor ad
vise young men to drink liquor of any
kind, but said that it was always bad.
RICH LEGACY IN FRANCE
Several Oregon People May
Fortune From Vast Estate.
Get
FOREST SPRINGS. Cal., March 5.
(Special.) Another rich-uncle-legaey
story has developed. This time N.
Eames, of this city, is the fortunate
heir. Several Oregon people will also
share in the division of the fortune.
Eames has information that he is
possibly one of the several heirs to a
large estate in Fiance, the value of
which runs into figures that are fabu
lous. The estate is that of an uncle
on his mother's side in France, named
Newell. Much of the property is in
Paris, and co-incidentally Mr. Le Due,
a ranchman near the Sultana mine, re
members having seen a block of houses
owned by Newell in Paris. This latter
corroboration . aids Mr. Eames in the
belief that the estate is a big one as
reported. Full particulars have not
yet been received by him. but a niece,
accompanied by a lawyer, left San
Francisco last week for New Tork,
whence they will sail for Paris to make
an investigation.
4ewell, the rich uncle,- was an old
bachelor and died about a year ago.
Whether he left a will is not known by
Eames, but he understands that him
self and three sisters and his nephew
are to be beneficiaries of the estate.
The nephew is Jefferson Thomas, in
the employ of the Clinch' Mercantile
Company at Grass Valley. Eames' sis
ters are the following: Mrs. Kate
Adams, Templcton, Coos County, Or.;
Mrs. Emma L Blodgett, Wolf Creek,
Josephine County, Or.; Mrs. Virginia
Patterson, Cripple Creek, Colo. The
husband of the latter has been fore
man for-eight years at Stratton's Inde
pendence mine. Mrs. Meerschaum, of
San Francisco, a sister to Jefferson
Thomas, and niece of Mr. Eames, will
also come in for a share of the estate.
Eames was born on the ranch where
he now lives. His mother, sister to the
late uncle, has been dead 30 years.
The Eames ranch was one of the
earliest locations in Nevada County,
and probably records the longest con
tinual residence of one family on one
ranch in the county.
The estate in Frapce is said to be
worth a million francs.
Battling for Son's Release.
TACOMA, Wash., March 5. Julge
Snell today heard Will H. Thompson's
petition to"set the case of his son Ches

the youth's release under the Graves
act, which provides for the release
of the criminal insane upon their men

that to be Impossible because the act
did not become a law until after judg

Thompson will apply to the Supreme

clined to be firm early owing to libera.', pur
chases by ccmmlsslon houses. Pit traders

view of a probable increase In primary re
ceipts in the near future. A forecast of
continued liberal shipments from Argentina
also tended to weaken the market. Prices

88c and then declined to 88
B8c. The close was firm at M 9Bc.
