That the recent heavy buying of hops has not been due to any Increased prosperity In the brewery trade is shown by the latest Government returns on barrel tax paid by the American brewers. In March thsj pro duction of beer fell off 6OS.5i0 barrels, the greatest decrease shown In many years. In late years, and In fact, up to January of the present year, the production has stead ily Increased. The figures for the first quarter of 1908 follow: 100T. 1ftns. Decrease.

Mil. -IK'S 4.1S2.S40 ,"iw8.5li9 This great shrinkage In brewery output Is attributed to the business depression in the Eastern States and to the workings of the prohibition laws In some sections. In the face of these conditions, the hop market has assumed an active tone, so active, in fact, that Oregon stocks in grow ers' ' hands have been reduced to about lft.OOO bales. That the heavy buying has heen Induced largely by the cheapness of prices is patent to all. Brewers are taking advantage of the low market to replenish their stocks as fast as used, and evidently .are. keeping their surplus up to -what they consider normal proportions. Some of the buying has been on account of Ppring de liveries to the Eastern and English trade. Thomas Ironmonger, of London, yesterday cabled as follows to Isaac Pincus A Sons, of Tacoma: "Weather unfavorable for growing crop. Weather Is wet and cold. Vines not looking healthy, starting weakly. Market very dull with appearance of further decline." NEW STYLE OF TILLAMOOK CHEESE Shape of Daisies Mitkm Them Attractive to Retailers, Daisies, by which the Eastern trade des ignates cheese of the siie known here as triplets, is ths name chosen by Ray, the famous cheeaemaker of Tillamook, for Tils latest output In this Hne. A large ship ment of these Tillamook daisies reached this market yesterday and they mot with Immediate favor. They weigh about 20 pounds apiece and their shape makes them popular with the retailers. Butter went off well yesterday at the new price of 22'i cents on city creamery. Several outside brands were quoted at the same price. Cheaper grades of country creamery are In demand from speculators. The egg market was quoted firm with most sales reported at 17 V4 cents. Poultry was in fair supply and generally firm. . THE FIRST PRECOX STRAWBERRIES James Bates, , of Kiddle. Is the Shipper. Bring lunny Price. To James Bates, of Riddle, belongs the honor of marketing the first Oregon straw berries of the season. A small crate from his farm -was received by W. B. Glafke & Co. yesterday and their fine quality was shown by the fact that they brought 50 cents a pound. Mr. Bates also made the first shipment to Portland last year, but it came In one day later. Forty cents was the price paid then. California berries were abundant yesterday, 410 crates arriving, but many of them were spoiled In transit, and $2 per crate was the best price realized. Five hundred crates are due today. Two care of oranges and a mixed car of oranges and lemons comprised the . heavy receipts from the South. Bank Clearings. Clearings of the Northwestern cities yes terday were as follows: Clearings.

Plain Talk From Officers in Re gard to Lacjc of Interest on Part of TYont-Street Dealers. In reference to the statements that the produce merchants do not want a Board of Trade, President T. S. Townsend and Secre tary Fred Muller, in discussiing the matter yesterday, said: "While It is true that the produce mer chants have not shown that Interest in the efforts of the Board of Trade that it was expected they would, there is, nevertheless, no reason for blame as far as the Board of Trade is concerned. We have used every effort possible to adjust matters in a way beneficial to the produce men. We have ab solutely avoided taking in any country busi ness interests Inimical to those of the prod duce merchants, and any statement made by commission men that this was a reason they did not want to come on the floor of the Exchange, is simply misleading, and a lame excuse, which any practical man in the business can hardly recognize as effec tive. When we come right down to calling a spade a spade, we can't help but feel that some of the commission men have some axes of their own to grind, and that they are afraid too much publicity through the Board of Trade would be harmful to their practices. "The Board of Trade does not desire In any way, shape or form to interfere with the legitimate functions of the produce people, but we certainly do Intend to regu late conditions in a way which will fairly reflect the market, and report the daily quotations on the actual basis and not be low the figures everyone dealing in produce knows are obtainable. In this market. "The bulk of the produce business from the country should come to Portland, and It can only come to jaur city if our returns are fair and proper Nobody wants to deny the commission men their legitimate profit, and, in fact, the Board of Trade is now en deavoring to secure an understanding among the commission men by which their profits will be larger and their returns be made on a better basis. "Now. if this effort to better conditions is an objection to some of the produce mer chants to support the Board of Trade, then we say something Is radically wrong and the quicker it Is known the sooner Portland will Increase its business and the quicker tne country interests will look with conn denre to this point as a receiving center. "To simply knock for the sake of knock lng. Is not business. We have often asked the commission merchants to come and dis cuss their grievances in meeting, but it has seemed that one Is afraid of the other and that Is where the trouble Ilea "We can only repeat, the Exchange has the leading produce men as members and is determined to satisfy their expectations by a proper regulation of market conditions. "We might also cite the fact that we have among our membership the largest and leading country merchants of some 25 cities tributary to. Portland, and that we Intend to enlarge this list by repeated visits to these sections. We have been able to dem onstrate to these people the usefulness of the Exchange, and everyone of the country merchants has not only once but repeatedly expressed nimsetr as greatly in favor of the cioara or 'rraae's errorts." The following Invitation for a special meeting of the produce Interests on Tues day, May 5, at 8 P. M., lias been sent out by the officers of the Exchange: "Kindly attend a special meetlne- of the produce Interests on Tuesday, May 5, at 8 P. M. Be sure to be present. Certain state ments have appeared in the papers that the produce merchants do not want this Ex change, giving a lot of reasons which have never been, brought to our attention offi cially. We would like to have this meet ing to find out just exactly what Is what. In order that we may be governed by a defi nite decision one way or the other. "As members of the Exchange, we at least, expect you to be present at this meet ing." PORTLAND IJVKSTOf K MARKET. Prices Quoted Locally on Cattle, Sheep and Hogs.

OTHER HILL LINES GO UP Advancing Tendency in Most of the Active Stocks Cessation of Gold ' Export Movement CIos . . lng Tone Strong. NEW YORK, May 1. .Stocks developed a strong tone again today under the inspira tion of a demonstration In ft. Paul by a house credited with representing Interests -influential in the company and leaders of many extensive speculative movements In the past. News developments to account for the. rise were lacking. St. Paul's $100,000,000 stock Issue In December of 1006 anticipated the exhaustion of the capital supplies in the market, and together with the similar eager demands of Great Northern and Northern Pacific,' vss given large responsi bility for the glutted condition in which the market for Investment securities was thrown. But this important financing, ac complished at that period, left these com panies at less disadvantage In the difficult circumstance wiilch developed In the later financial crisis. The advantage Is cited to account for the present extraordinary strength of the group, the two Hill stocks sharing In the benefit. In the rest of the list, the strength shown was more moderate and to some portions of the list did not ex tend at all. t Pennsylvania rose quite conspicuously in face of the reduction In . the dividend rate from 7 to 6 per cent. This was in con sonance with the action of other stocks on which dividend reductions have occurred recently, notably Atchison and New York Central, and Is Indicative of how far the reductions have been discounted In the speculation. Some effect on sentiment was produced by the absence of further gold export en gagements for tomorrow's steamer. In ad dition to this cessation of the gold outgo, the preliminary estimates of the currency movement with the Interior gave evidence of the sustained heavy flow to this center. Copper was lower again both In Ixmdon and New York and the copper Industrials did not share In the day's strength. Reports of Wintry weather and danger of damage to the crops were Ignored. A holiday In Lon don contributed something to the dullness of the market. The closing tone was strong and with prices rising rapidly in some di rections. Bonds were irregular. Total sales, par value $2,400,000. United States bonds were unchanged on call. CLOSIN GSTOCK QUOTATIONS. " Cloning Sales. High. Low.

COLLECTIONS ARE SLOW Favorable Features of " Week Are Ability of Kailroads to Borrow and Good Outlook for the Winter Wheat Crop. NEW YORK, May 1. Bradstreefs tomor row will say: Weather conditions have been unfavoraoie to distributive trade this week, and rather quiet trade Is reported the country over. Jobbing trade has remained quiet, with business confined to small fllling-in orders. Fall business has shown no particular in crease in activity and orders are still scarce. The disposition seems to be to let tne Job ber carry the goods, and manufacturers are likewise disinclined to make up stocks ahead of orders. Collections are still slow and extensions asked for or granted are still a feature. Thus far the Industrial outaut shows lit tle or t.o disposition to expand. Curtailment ts still tha feature in textile lines and some leading centers reported production 40 per cent off the normal. Foreign trade Is quiet as a whole, but some improvement Is re ported in export deman4 for cereals after the smallest week's shipments in two years. The best points In the situation are the more cheerful feeling as to the ability of railroads to borrow and the undeniably good cutlook for the Winter wheat crop. Business failures in the l.nited States for the week ending April 30 number 282, against 254 last week and 163 In the like week of 1907. Canadian failures for the week number as against 36 last week and IS In this week a year ago. Wheat, Including flour, exports from the United States and Canada for the week end- ng April .SO are 1,620.000 bushels against 2.234.756 this week last year. For the 41 weeks of the fiscal year the exports are 170.417.285 bushels against 143,800.621 In 1906-07. IMPROVEMENT IN FINANCIAL CIRtXES But Volume of Trade Generally Is Very - Small. , NEW YORK, May 1. R. O. Dun Co.'s review tomorrow will say: Sentiment was greatly Improved in finan cial circles by the successful issue of new railway bonds, prices of. securities attaining the highest position since last October, but mercantile and industrial conditions were not changed. The outlook for the eteel business brightened when it was shown that the rail ways could borrow noney for needed work, and the good progress of the crops promised well for the future in all branches of busi ness. . Insofar as current conditions are concerned. however, reports indicate a small volume of trade and only fair collections. Bank Clearings. NEW YORK. May 1. Bradstreefs bank clearings report for the week ending April 30 shows an aggregate of $2,287,000 as against $1,98.8.867.000 last week and $2,801. 497,000 in the corresponding week last year. .
