CUT 001 ACREAGE
Large Number of Hop Farmers
Go Out of Business. ,
REDUCTION IN ENGLAND
Coining Crop Will Be Smaller, but
Decrease May Not Be Enough to
Benefit tlic Market Oregon
Apples in London.
The local hop trade 1b doing much spec
ulating as to the probable size of the com
Ing world's crop. These guesses at this time
re of no particular value to the dealers or
to anyone else, but serve to employ their
minds In the absence of other occupation.
The opinions of the traders vary greatly,
ome looking for very low prices again next
year, while others anticipate a very high
market.
There in but little doubt that the world's
production will be under that of last, year,
but mhcther the shrinkage will be great
enough to have any beneficial effect on
prices remains to be. seen. Brewers in this
country and Europe will go Into the next
season with well-Mocked warehouses and a
considerable supply of hops will still be left
In first hands, though the quantity may be
smaller than was held at thp opening of tha
present season.
All reports, however, agree as to a con
siderable reduction of acreage In this coun
try and Europe. , a London letter received
yesterday said that jy0 acres would be
grubbed up in England this year and an
other letter put the reduction at 5000 acres.
The acreage in England last yrar was
'. and in IftOtf, ,n.722 acrrs. Many
"Washington farmers have had all they want
f hopgrowlng and It Is estimated that one
third of the acreage in the state will be
plowed up this Spring. A considerable acre
age will also be plowed up in New York, ac
cording to papers of that state. Very few
reports have been received of Oregon grow
ers plowing up. but not much progress has
been made so far in cultivating the yards.
California will probably grow a full crop.
It will be more difficult than ever to
forecast market conditions this year. In
previous seasons a fairly close guess could
be made by means of crop estimates and
statistics on tho carryover supply, as the
wants of the trade were generally known,
but for the coming season .the requirements
are problematical. Therefore, the trade ta
reasonably safo In saying that prices will bo
either very low or very high.
HIGHER ONION PRICKS ARE EXPECTED
Mark eta AJI Along the Coast Have an Up
ward Tendency.
A very strong tone prevails in vthe onion
market with prospects good for an early ad
vance. Growers are alive to tho situation
and arc averse tn celling at the present
price. A few small lots have been secured
by buyers at 2.u0. but most of the small re
mainder of the crop is ofT the market. A. J.
Tanno, president of the Confederated Onion
Growers' Association, estimates about 12
tars Irft In first hands, but tho estimate of
local buyers Is lower.
Whatever tha quantity may be, the fact
la certain that the onions are keeping re
markably well and the holders will be able
to take advantage of the rise when It comes.
Thera la a better jobbing- Inquiry for onions
on Front m'.ryU and the demand is also Im-
XffSiTt'Sa -iron, with supplies of Eastern
. oat on exhausted. Advices from Texas are
that tho crop of that state la backward and
It will be the middle of April before Texas
Bermudas are on the market In any quan
tity. STRONG TSASTfcR DEMAND FOR OATS
Abowt Seventeen Thousand Tons Already
ftold for htpmut.
Advices from tha interior ar of a much
firmer fooling In the oata market, because of
liberal inquiries from the East. About 17,o0
tons of oats hava already been sold for
Eastern shipment. The local market is firm
but no higher.
The little barley that ii coming forward
now Is mostly of inferior grade and does
not attract much attention from buyers.
The best grades of hay are in firm hands
and full prices are asked for it, but soma
off-grade hay Is being sold by farmers at
concessions.
The w heat market was very quiet yester
day and previous prices were quoted. Thera
ere- no new developments In the Hour sit
uation. Uran and shorts were quoted higher.
OREGON NKWTOWNS IN LOMON
Fruit lYom This mate Cemuutnds the
Jiigheat Price.
The latest weekly apple report of W.
Dennis & Hons, London, says:
You will be interested to know that the
Newtown position upon this market has
very much Improved during the past two
weeks, during which the demand has been
much mrongcr than previously, and prices
have advanced to a not Inconsiderable ex
tent. Thp Newtown is Indeed at the mo
ment, commanding more attention than any
other appl on the market and It seems like
ly to do so for. at any rate, the next k.x
weeks, as we do not anticipate Ta-mfintan
apples coming on the market to affect tho
price of your Newtown before about April
13.
We are pleased to be able to tell you that
we have been doing exceptionally well this
eek for some nrst-class Newtown from the
Western States, having realized for one car
as much as 1s d and in per box. These
were exceptionally fine fruit, as may be
readily imagined, but for good marks of
Oregon fruits the current price is about irs
to t." Ad per box for Tour-tier and about
1 for 4 v-tier. hllt other marks which
are not quit so good are selling lower at
prices ranging down to la pr box.
California Newtown are al in good re
quest, but unfortunately a great portion of
thoe arriving contain more or less waste.
t'oUnd parcel of clean fruit, four-tier, afe
commanding from 9s to m $d per box, and
from s to 0 for 4H-tir. t'nsound parcels
have to come at lower prices relative to the
percentage of waste In them. The California
wtown docs not appear to have kept well
tills year, having been coming wasty now
for sunie considerable time.
California, Chicken ha LochI Market.
The light arrival fn tha poultry market
liav again made It necessary to draw on
the California supply and broilers are being
brought up from that state, which tell on
Kraut street at .7o per doscn. Local nan
are quoted firm at 13;g IA cents, with
-me sales reported at id cents. Small
chickens bring fancy prices from i to CO
cents, according to aise. The demand for
other kinds of poultry is fair.
The egg market was steadier yesterday
because of a good out-of-town demand,
which cleaned up moat of the surplus. Quo
tations ranged from 16 to IT cents.
Butter was weak and unchanged.
Ranaima and Orange Arrive.
Three cars of bananas arrived yesterday,
one green and two turning. A car of
oranges came in and two or three more are
due today. No car-lot receipts of vegetables
were reported.

MARKET IS SPOTTY
Gains Are Not General in the
Stock List.
SALES ALSO FALL OFF
Profit-Taklns in Evidence on Every
Advance Effect of President's
Instructions to Corpora,
tion Commissioner.
XEW YORK. March 15. There wa Inter
mittent and spotty strength in the stock mar
ket today, but It was not oomparable to the
aggressive upsweep of prices which occurred
yesterday. The volume of the market was
decidedly diminished also. Til sustalnln,
force of upward movements In special stock,
was taken advantage of by proflt-takinl
which showed Itself on every occasion when
an advance was retting- fairly under way.
Some of the faotors which were f use In
liftlnr prices yesterday had lost some of
their Influence today and there was a resi
due of damaging effect coming over from the
previous day - from some undigested factors.
One of these was the setting on foot by In
struction of the President of an Investigation
by the Bureau of Corporations of stock trad
ing, with the announced purpose of Hading a
way to penalize marginal operations In stocks.
The attitude adopted among the Stock Ex
change membership towards tfils subject Is
that the Stock Exchange Itself has nothing to
fear from a revelation of its methods, but
rather much to rain In the demonstration
which would be made of safeguards and se
curities behind obligations assumed in the
regular Stock Rxchange procedure and the
dominant rule of strict probity in the con
duct of brokerags and commission business In
stocks. There Is no disposition In stock mar
ket circles to deny the evils of the bucket
shop type of operations, against which, in
fact. Stock Exchange interests always have
waged an incessant warfare. There is a
recognition also of the discreditable side of
th. occasional flagrant manipulations of prices
and of plunging with the proceeds of b&nk
loans. But these are evils which the Stock
Exchange members disclaim responsibility for,
or indeed power to prevent.
Against this Influence In the market was
the continued stress laid on a report that a
message from the Preerldtnt was to be forth
coming shortly which would favor permission
to the railroad oompsnles to advance their
freight charges ss a measure of prevention
against the threatened fall In the rates of
wages. Yesterday's circumstantial reports
that the Union Pacific plan for segregating
Its assets to be distributed In shares to the
stockholders, met with official discountenance.
The Northern Pacific extra dividend rumors
revived with some show of force and made
a rallying point against the effects of profit
taking in the market. Amalgamated Copper
enjoyed the advantage of an advance In the
price of copper both at the local market and
in London. .
An excellent Impression was made by the
over-subscription, some 16 times, of the
$ 4,000.000 of New ' York State bonds offered
yesterday, mm an evidence of a plentttude of
capital for attractive and well-Insured invt
ment. The general bond market, however,
was not responsive to these factors. West
ern Union suffered from its- poor showing of
quarterly earnings and Delaware A Hudson
from the Injunction against distribution of Us
declared dividend. Money and exchange con
ditions were little changed. The irregular
tendency of stocks persisted throughout. An
upward swing was in progress at the close,
and tho day s changes were gains in conse
quence. Bonds were irregular. Total sales, par
value, $2,472,000. t'nlted States 4., registered,
declined i per cent on call.
