PRODUCTION OF BF.KR-vIS DECREASED
March Output Half-Million Barrel Less
Than I .ant Year.
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.

March .' ...4. 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.

WILL NOT ABANDON IT
BOARD 6F TRADE TO MAINTAIN
PRODUCE DEPARTMENT.
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.

Northern Road Selected for
Speculative Movement.
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.

lizlng Sales.
CHICAGO. May 1. The price of May wheat
advanced steadily today until lt touched $1.04.
The total amount of deliveries made on May
contracts was only about 300.000 bushels,
whllei in oats and corn and In provisions de
liveries were abnormally - heavy. July and
September ojitlons were sold freely, but real
izing 1 sales late in the day caused a corre
sponding decline. July opened to c
lower at 88 to 88c, advanced to 89c and,
then declined to 88c. The close was weak
at 886c.
Cprn opened steady, but weakened along;
with, wheat, the market closing easy. Oats
were firm. . because of an active demand by
shorts for the July delivery. Provisions were
weak on a 6c decline In live hogs.

BUYERS

BACK
Prefer to Let the Jobbers
Carry the Goods.
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.
