PRICES ARE TOO LOW Da n cor of Too Great a Reduction of the Yield or the Best Qualities. Poor Hops Should Be Plowed l"p. The New York Hop Reporting Company's report of March 4 gives the view of Adolphus Busch on the hop situation In a supplement as follows: Although the following letter was not writ ten for publication, we feel that the views - it expresses, coupled with the hlph repute and representative character of Its author, wilt materially help the American farmers who raise hops. The intelligence, enterprise and liberality of Adolphus Busch have ptacod the Anheuser-Busch Brewing Aso-larfon, of Ft. Louis, in the forefront of the world's breweries, and we know that his viw are shared by many others among our loading1 brewers, who purchase the best ma il rial without haggling over prices and m ithnut trying to "squeeze" the grower. After a severe Illness Mr. Busch has been recuperating strength and health on the Iac-lnc CoaMt. ' Pasadena. Cal., Feb. 11. My Dear Mr. i'lanry: I take a great Interest In the con dition of the hopttrower, as well as in the condition of the markets and the produc tion and consumption of the article; and my earnest wish la that prices of hops shall n"ver again fall as low as they have fallen Ilils year; that they shall always bring a fair prom to the planter. Instead of a loss as has been the ca.e with the crop of 1907. "The condition of the hop-planter on the I'aclile 'nast is really deplorable. The poor fellows have not realised the cost of pick ing and labor in taking care of their, yards; snd if such a state of affairs were to con tinue, the next step must be an enormous reduction in acreage. Where poor hops are raised. I would' like to see such a reduction; but not where the product Is of excellent quality, because I fear that with the gen eral reduction In acreage of the hop culture in Kngland (which Is bound to come), and, ,ton, a great reduction In California, we may jump year not have sufficient hops for the nsumption of the world. Therefore, we have to keep on the lookout and give, good, honest advice to the planters. At the same time, we slum Id aim to protect them as miK'h hi possible, so that they do not again inifTrr a Ions as with last season's crop. It Is much better for our brewers always to pay a fair price for hops and barley, so that farmers shall take an Interest In these products and not bring on a possibly disas trous condition by becoming indifferent to them. "When barley went so low In years gone by. 1 always preached to brewers and malsters not to run prices lower, telling them that some of these days they -would respent surh wrong action. They 'got it In the neck' this year, and. it serves them right for bringing prices lower than the cereal could be raised for. The result was a de crease of arreage in the cultivation of bar ley Another hurtful consequence was that farmers did not think tt worth while to pro cure the right kind of seed for the barley culture. They let the seed deteriorate, and produced a poor, trashy harvest. "ADOLPHUS BUSCH." 0 TKODfCE R EC KI ITS FROM SOUTH But Vegetable Mock Are Sufficient for All Requirements. There were no arrivals of California produce during the day, but two cars of oranges and one of vegetables were due last night. There was a fair demand for green truck with a sufficient supply carried over from Monday to meet requirements. Prices gnera1ty were unchanged. Three" cars of bananas are due tomorrow. The improved tone of the California po tato market has stimulated more buying here, but no purchases above tw cents In the country are reported. Very little is dong in Oregon onions. Most of tte country holders are asking S cents, w hlle buyers are not Inclined to pay over 2 4 cents. Japanese onions are held firm at the Johbtng price of $3.30 per hundred. A large local handler offers '.," for 1K to H'H sacks of Japanese onions, spot delivery, regardless of condition. I1RST ARRIVALS OF SEW CHEESE flutter Market Affected by Weakness In California Eggs Accumulate. The flrt shipment of 11.08 Tillamook cheese reached Portland yesterday, the lot consisting of cases of Young Americas. The cheese was made at Charles Ray's fac tory at Cloverdale. The butter market was steady in price. There was no accumulation either on Front street or in the city creameries, but the weakness of the California market is having some effect here and an early decline Is ex pected. Eggs were very weak and in some quar tern stock has accumulated heavily, which Indicates a further cutting of prices today. poultry receipts were small and there was an urgent demand, especially for hens and Spring chickens, with some sales report ed above quotations. Local Wheat Market Inactive. The local whwat trade was very dull yes terday. The feeling In the market was weak, but quotations were not changed. Rroomhall's report on -foreign crop con ditions follows; "United Kingdom and Spain somewhat colder, but crop outlook generally favorable. Italy and North Africa, outlook favorable, excepting In a few drouthy districts. Bul garia, crops Wintered well. Roumanla, weather favorable; Winter crop outlook fav orable; sowings begun. France, some resow ing In north owing to unfavorable climatic conditions; otherwise favorable; holders firm. Germany, weather rather colder; crop outlook satisfactory ; Germany has pur chased a large quantity of Argentine wheat, but sttll the markets respond quickly to foreign strength. Iluswta. Southwest outlook unchanged and more hopeful : elsewhere mostly satisfactory: arrivals of wheat at the potts little or nothing." (Mwollne 4unta4los Reduced. A reduction of 2 cents per gallon was announced yesterday by the Standard Oil Company on Red Crown, Motor and 66 de gree gasoline. TORTLAN D QUOTATIONS. (ruin. Flour.

PROFIT TAKING SALES Realization on s Larger Scale Than Monday Buying for London Account Bonds Are Irregular. NEW YORK. March 10 There were con tinued signs In today's stock market of the exercise of a benevolent control by skillful and other resourceful speculative leaders, keeping it within the description of a pro fessional market. The selling to realize profits was on a more liberal scale than yesterday, and the resulting reaction in prices was more pronounced. The growing dullness of the operations as prices receded below last night's closing level indicated the strength of the holders and their un willingness to forego their profits. The extent to which profit-taking Tias been achieved and the reduction in the short Interest, which go hand in hand with the movement, resulted in a technical position favorable for a reaction. It Is a well-known device of the best-known speculative leaders, who have conducted great movements In tha market, to vary a movement with reac tions, digest their own profits from time to time in that way, and, at the same time, shake off a weak speculative following which is a burden In the market in the event of the development of any untoward circumstances'. Some buying for London account was a factor In the absorb tive power of the mar ket. The subtreasury figures showing a cash net gain for the day's operations of $7,238. 000. reflected the turning over of Govern ment deposits by the banks in response to the call of the Secretary of the Treasury. The effect on the money market was not appreciable.- While the day's final prices show some considerable declines the move ment throughout was exceedingly irregular. Bonds were irregular. Total sales were S2.540.00O. CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS. Closing Sales. High. Low. Bid. Adams Express 177 A ma I Copper 43, 800 53 51 52 Am Car A Foun.

Pacific Coast Union Ued aa Argument for protective Tariff. CHEHALIS, Wash., March 9. (To the Editor.) in the market columns of The Sunday Oregon lan appeared the statement that the agitation in England for protection is the result of the attempt to form a com bination of Pacific Coast hopgrowers. That is not a correct statement of the case. For the past 15 years to my own knowledge the English hopgrowers have been advocating a protective tariff. Periodically the English hop farmers get together and make an effort to secure a protective tariff on hops. The present agitation in England for a protec tive tariff is brought about by the low price of hops. The attempt to form a hopgrowers" union on the Pacific Coast is used as an argument for a protective tariff, but it la not the cause of the tariff agitation. So far as I have been able to judge, the tariff movement has made but little head way in England. Reading the accounts oi the farmers' meetings In an English paper I notice there is an occasional "bullheaded Englishman" among the farmers who is op posed to the proposed tariff. It Is argued that a tariff in Kngland, while it would temporarily help the situation, would result in so large an increase in acreage that It would In the end hurt the English farmers more than It would benefit them, by caus ing a large overproduction of English hops. Evidently the large mass of English farmers do not believe in the soundness of the argu ment and they may some day secure a pro tective measure for hops, although there is not much probability of such an act in the Immediate future. There is not a hop district on the coast In any better shape to withstand the financial stress in the bop market than the Chehalis district. There are very few renters here and the owners can finance their yards if necessary, no matter how the market Is. 'But in spite of that fact there is a healthy plowing up of yards this Spring and the' district, although a small one, will not produce more than three-fourths as many hops as were produced here last season and not more than half as many a were turned out in 190H.. In Washington the get-rlch-qulck Idea of hopraising has about disap peared and growers are more Inclined to figure the proposition on a basis of a series of years. One grower, who has kept careful books for a dozen years, shows by his books that he has sold his hops at an average price of a little more than 12 cents a pound. He Is considered a good seller, never but once held too long, and has had top or close to top prices when hops were high. As the real cost of raising hops Is fully 10 cents a pound, that man has made but little money compared with what he might have made by producing milk, hay or other products. The Washington farmers see this and as the speculative fever has worn out here, the hop business is not as popular as it was 20 years ago. If the Oregon and California farmers will get down to business, quit renting yards to irresponsible men. who last a year or two and then give way to new renters who have a few dollars but no experience, the busi ness of hopgrowlng will right itself in due time. With a deep cut in acreage in the two Southern states, a dying out of the speculative craxe among the farmers, the abolishment of the system of renting hop yards and a closer getting together of those Interested in producing, there will come bet ter times again for the business, with a possibility of curtailing the operations of the short sellers and dispensing with the services of a large number of so-called brokers and blue-mould artists who are sup ported by the hopgrowers as the system of selling Is now conducted.

CHICAGO MARKET NERVOUS Weakness of Foreign Prices and the Good Weather in the Southwest Are Also Depressing Factors. Two-Cent Drop. CHICAGO. March 10. The wheat market was ery nervous all day. The Government report on farm reserves left traders In an undecided frame of mind, but the prevailing opinion seemed to be that the report was an aid to the bears.

May opened "c lower to c higher at 9SH&&Kc. gol(l oa to 83c and ciosed at 9S93Kc. Corn was strong all day on active buying by shorts and commission houses. Small farm reserves, firm cables -and light receipts were the main reasons for the demand. May closed at 05()4c Trade in oats was light, but the market was arm. May closed at 53c.
