VIEWS OFA BREWER
Adolphus Busch's Opinion of
the Hop Situation.
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.

Stock Market Is in Profession

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.

HOP DUTY AGITATION IN ENGLAND.
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. 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. The market was also
bearlshly affected by the weakness of for
eign markets and by excellent weather in
the Southwest for the F ail-sown crop. The
market closed weak and near the bottom
price. 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.
Provisions were weak on account of lib
eral receipts of live hogs at Western pack
ing centers. At the close May pork was off

were 5c lower.
