FEWER HOPS USED
Consumption Decreases, While
Production Grows.
GROWERS' POOR OUTLOOK
Englishmen Vainly Trying to Get
Relief From Their Government,
AY bile Brewers .Fill Storage
Rooms at Iledroek Prices.
The English h'ipBnweis have -worked
themselves up Into a frenzy over what they
term the "dumping" of American hope on
their market. They are still holding indig
nation mtinjrs in the various hop counties
an4 loudly clamoring tor relief from the
government in the shape of a -iO-shilllnjr
tariff on imported hops. The parliamentary
Investigating committee has held nessions
f r two months pant and heard a lot of evi
dence, hut an most of the commlsalonflrs
are free traders, nothing Is expected to come
of the inquiry-
Some t ran ice statements have been made
by English irrowera at the committee hear
ings. The burden of most of the evidence
.has been that Oregon and California grow
ers can produce hops cheaper than the
Knpltsti planters, because the labor on this
toa t Is d one by Oh i nese. A Cra nbrook
grower and brewer named Winch declared
to the committee: "1 have letters begging
me to buy 20,000 buiea of 1906 Oregon at
2im a cwt. I won't have them they're like
so many black currant leaves." The Hop
growers' Defense Association stated that re
turns it has received from every parish, in
Kent shows that 51524 acres of hops have
been grubbed since October :Oth last. The
committee says that immediate action (s
necessary to save the industry from utter
ruin. At a mass meeting in Canterbury, it
was proposed that a delegation of 50,000
hop-pickers march to lndon, surround the
House of Commons and proclaim their
grievance.
While the English growers are making
ell this outcry, they overlook the fact that
one principal cause of the depression Is the
fact that more hops are produced annually,
even with the industry languishing in Eng
land, than are required. America is not
dumping more hops in England than for
merly, in fact, the shipments run about the
same year after year. The English- brewers
are at the bottom of the trouble. Where
they once used several pounds of hops to
t he barrel of beer, they now follow the
American brewery method of using only a
fraction of a pound. On both sides of the
Atlantic the brewers make a practice of
stocking up heavily when prices are cheap
and with their storage facilities they are
Independent of the market when hops are
scarce. The English beer-makers are now
providing against the lean years of the
future, many of them having an lS-months
supply, and some of them a reserve stock
sufficient fop 24 months.
H. E- Freeman, manager of the London
office of Klalrer. Wolf & Netter, haa been
tolling the Englishmen a few things they
did not know before, in a. recent issue of the
London Morning Leader, Mr. Freeman said:
There are several causes for this depres
sion. The brewers do not buy so freely as
they used to. The consumption of hops in this
country has declined from cwts. in
I'.mh, to 5T0,St;o In 1JHJ6. The foreign impor
tations have also something to do with the
depression.
Hut there Is another cause of greater -con-setu-nee,
viz., the system of cold storage
v which the hrewers are made practically
independent of the new crop, in the old
days, the brewer was forced every year to
buy new hops to mix' with the old ones. Now
he is independent, because he can bring
hope of older date out of cold store, which
ere practically as good as new hops.
In proof of what he saJd about the sale
rf goods below the cost of production, Mr.
Freeman mentioned that good English cop
per hops wrtre heiug offered on the English
market today at from oAs to 45s per cwt.,
which oi, to pick and market alone, 30s a
cwt., thus leaving practically nothing for
expenses up to picking time.
So much Is being said aa to American
'dumping" of hops that It is worth noting
that, according to Mr. Freeman, Pacific
Coa.it hops are fetching practically the same
prices as the fame quality of English goods.
The price of pacifies, he said, on this mar
ket today Is il? to 4"'S per cwt. That Is prac
tically the same as English hope of the same
qurtllty. -
Mr Freeman has his own Idea of the
genes-ia of the Adriatic shipment. "These
bnp." be pointed out. '"are HHWt goods,
which, hclaiiR t.v ruul R. (1. Horst. They
wore bought by him in the season 10O8 at
very high prices. He had speculated on
t hm. and had been holding on to them,
although the market has been going against
him., and nw Mr. Horst believes that a
duly on hop may be Imposed at any mo
ment In England; and with that idea he has
sent all these yenrllngs over here. He will
probably hold them In the expectation of
a duty belnc put on hops which will enable
him to ohtain a higher price for them.
It la quite an abnormal Incident which
Tins never been known before in the history
of the hop trade, and will never probably
be known again. As a matter of fact Ameri
can imports of hops, taking a series oft.
ears, are stationary.
The American grower cannot extract
much comfort ' from the reports of depres
sion In England. The cause of the present
condition is world-wide, and the only rea
son they make so much noise about it is
because they feel it keener there as hop
growing Is more costly in England than
anywhere else. Too many hops are raised,
in Oregon and tn every other country, and
there must be a general readjustment of
supply to demand before the Industry again
becomes profitable to any but the short sell
ers. The latter are so sure the UHiS mar
ket will be an exceedingly low one. owing
to overproduction, that they are already
making contracts with brewers to deliver
Oregon hops in the Fall at prices several
cents leas than growing co-st, ajid these
shorts figure on making a handsome profit
on the transaction.
ORA(iK MARKET W11X ADVANCE.
Culifornta's Supply off Navels la Almost
Kx ha uted.
According to California advices received
yesterday, a sharp advance in the orange
market is imminent. Navels will be practically
cleaned up by May t, less than 500 cars re
maining In the state. Seedllnga and sweets
are very ftrmly held by growers and packers.
Three cars of oranges reached Portland yes
terday. Threeoara of bananas came In in fine con
dition. A car of Eastern Oregon apples waa
unloaded and another car Is to arrive. About
U0 crates of strawberries were received and
they sold at $l-75Jf225 per crate.
Small vegetable were in plentiful supply
and generally steady In price. A car of Texas
onions was received and quoted at the
former price.
NKL1JNG OFFERS AT BOARD OF TRADE
lrtod Attendance of Grain Men at Morning
SrMslon.
There was a good attendance of grain
men at the Board of Trade yesterday and a
fair amount of business was done. Only a
few produce dealers were on the floor.
Anionic the out-of-town members who were
present were J. M. Shelley, of the Eugene
Mill Jt Elevator Company, and "V W. Ray
mond, of the Peacock MLjls, at Walla
Valla.
The following offers to sell were posted:
2dv000 pounds prunes, sacked, 4 He; 145
pounds dried apples, 8c f. o, h. Sheridan; 10
caaea candled eggs, 17 He; 1 drum Wisconsin
Swiss cheese, ISHc; 5 cases block Swiss
cheese. ITHc.
Wheo Firm but No Higher. ,
Ko further advance was made in local
wheat zrloe yesterday, ChougJb. treat
strength was shown by markets elsewhere.
Prices here are still above export values
and are set by tbe operations of millers and
buyers for the California trade, who assert
that conditions do not yet Justify any rise
in prices. There were no new developments
in the foreigfn flour situation. Oats and bar
ley were firm and unchanged.
YAH BECOME FIRM ONCE MORE.
Poultry in Good Kupply. bat Hard t More.
Batter Piling Vp.
Eggs turned Arm on Front street yester
day and sales were made at 17 and 17 H
cents. The local demand was fair, but
there was not much shipping inquiry. Re
ceipts were light.
A moderate supply of poultry was offered,
but buyers were slow. Some sales of fanfcy
hens were reported at 15 cents, the general
run going at 14 cents.
A weak tone prevails In the Front-street
butter market as receipts are larger than
the demand. The city creameries quote
their market steady.

Pennsylvania Kali road Sells Bomls.
NEW YORK, April 22. Kuhn. Loeb &
Co. announced today that that firm and
the Rothschilds of London have con
cluded negotiations to take an issue of
$40,000,000 of 40-year 4 per cent bonds
of the Pennsylvania. Railroad.
PHILADELPHIA, April 22. The Penn
sylvania Railroad Company's statement
announcing: the bond issue says:
'The proceeds thereof will be used to
meet expenditures upon the New York
tunnel extension and its terminal station
in the center of New York City and for
the completion of other construction work
and other facilities already under way
and necessary to economically handle the
traffic"

lumbermen were killed outright, one
died later and 15 others were seriously
hurt today by the wrecking" of a run
away train on the La Quin Lumber
Company's log road near here. There
were 25 Italians riding on the train
when it ran away. The accident was
caused by the failure of the reverse

gained terrific speed and after running

Bankers' Syndicate Takes Up
Pennsylvania Loan.
$40,000,000 IS INVOLVED
Sale ot Iong-Term Security Marks
Important Chang In Financial
Sltnation Stock Market Is
Dull and Narrow.
NEW YORK, April 12. The most Import
ant Influence in the tock market todar iru
the S-iO.OOO.OOO Pennsylvania bond Issue, an
nouncement of the details of which stamped
It as of first-rate Importance in its bearing
on the financial situation, present and pros
pective. This Importance was attached to
it primarily, because It marks the first sale
of a long-time security by the railroad cor
poration In a period of many months, during
which recourse has been had necessarily . to
short-term note issues bearing enormous
rates of interest.
The sale of a long-term railroad bond
Issue to a syndicate of bankers, therefore,
was regarded as highly significant of the
definite period of an era of impaired or sus
pended credit for railroad corporations
which made severe difficulties for them in
the carrying on of Important activities in
Improving and extending their capacities.
The fact of a large portion of the new bonds
having been placed abroad aroused hopes of
the opening of a way to tap the great stores
of foreign capital to aid in the resumption
of profitable activities In this country. The
Pennsylvania issue, at first-rate security
bearing 4 per cent, and sold at a discount of
several points, shows some marked con
trasts with the stagnant money markets
which facilitated the Vanderbllt refundlngs
in March of 1&7.
The day's market was dull and reflects no
expansion of interest beyond the narrow pro
fessional limits in which It has been held
for sometime.
Money on call was slightly firmer, influ
enced by the large engagements of gold for
export, which reached $5, 500.000 for tomor
row's French steamer. Bonds were steady.
Total sales, par value, $:i,3O8,0O0. United
States bonds were unchanged on call. . .

News Affects Future Sales.
CHIOAGO, April 22. The market for
wheat, though Irregular, was decidedly strong
the first half hour, owing to an urgent de
mand for the May option. Small receipts In
the Korthwest and the firmness of European
markets were the factors on which thade
mand was chiefly baaed. Liberal sales or the
July and September deliveries and late news
regarding the new crop in the Southwest,
tended to offset the effect of congestion in
May. The market closed irregular. May be
ing firm and July and . September barely
steady. May opened a shade to o
higher at W4 6 9:c. advanced to m'o
and closed at Mc. July sold between

Corn was weak almost all day because of
heavy selling of the July and September
deliveries by leading commission-houses. The
bull leaders made little pretense of support
ing the market. May. opened He lower
at 6ouc, sold at ATc and then de
clined to oAfcc and closed at 66 oofte.
Oats were firm early in the session, owing
to the bulfre In wheat, but the late weakness
of corn had a depressing effect. May opened
He higher at 53Hc And closed steady at
S3c. July ranged between 45a and 45c
and closed at 4-5 c.
Provisions were rather weak at the start,
but the market rallied later in the day as a
result of buying by shorts and closed steady.
July pork closed a shade lower and lard and
ribs were unchanged to 24c lower.
