THE MORNING OREGONIANy TUESDAY, MAY 12, 1908. 1? TWINE AND FLEECES Woolmen Object to Growers ' Using Sisal. IT DAMAGES THE WOOL Ixiwcr Prices Will Bo Offered for Any Clips Tied In That Manner. Strawberry Market Breaks. Advance In Batter. It is necessary for woolgrowers to exer cise some care in putting up their product If they want to get the best price going. Prices are low enough, anyhow, this year, and the sheepmen cannot afford to be care less In their methods ot marketing their neecea In this connection the notice sent out to the trade by the American 'Woolen Com pany, the largest consumer of wool in the world, is worth considering. These notices have been received by each of the local dealers and are as follows: "We wish to call your attention to the Im portance of strongly advising the wool growers against tying their fleeces with siBal twine. The danger to the fibers of this twine In the manufacturing; of goods Is a serious one, depreciating the value of the goods, and wools tied with it should com mand a lower market value In consequence. "This la a very serious matter and we have Instructed our wool buyers not to purchase fleeces tied with this twine unless a lower price Is made, to offset the damage in curred in working wools containing this twine. "We cannot Impress too strongly upon you and your correspondents and buyers the Importance of avoiding the' use of this twine." tors NATIONAL BOARD OF TRADK Portland Organization Will Soon Become Member.

NBW YORK HOP CROP CONDITION'S .tinny Growers Are Disgusted and Go Out of Buslnese. Hop crop conditions In New York are re ported by recent state papers as follows: Watervilie Roots have "Wintered well, but there is not much demand for them this Spring. Work In the yards Is now well under way and grubbing and plowing are the order of the day Smlthneld Hod -nubbin- Is In order, and the yards are reported to have "Wintered well. Many growers In this locality have reduced their acreage, owing to the pro longed depression of prices. Stockbridtre We hear very little said about hops this Spring. In this section many of the growers became atsgusteu witn iasr year's crop and prices, have plowed up their hops and will put in other crops. Cooperstown Growers have been busy In their yards In Otsego County for some time now and they report that the roots have Wintered well. The acreage of hops in the county this year will he smaller than last, as many yards are being plowed up. Morrisvllle It Is safe to estimate thc the constantly waning hop acreage in Madi son County will be reduced at least one fourth this Spring. While many growers are plowing up old yards few new ones are be ing set out. BUTTER SEIXS WET,!. AT NEW "PRICES Active Demand for Cheese From Seattle. JEgrB Very Firm. The advance In city creamery butter from 22H cents to 24 cents, as was announced In this paper yesterday morning, took effect with the opening of business. Practically all the city creameries lined up at the new price. A few outside brands were also raised to 24 cents. The demand continued active all day. There was a good local demand for eggs and orders from Seattle again- made their appearance. Quotations on the street ranged from 184 to 19 cents and one dealer re ported sales at 20 cents. A large lot was sold at the Board of Trade at 18 hk. Re ceipts on the whole were small. There Is also an active Inquiry from Seattle for cheese. A large shipment went forward yesterday and other shipments will be made when the next Tillamook steamer arrives. BREAK IN THE STRAWBERRY MARKET Receipts Prove Too Heavy for the Local , Demand. The strawberry market broke badly yes terday. Receipts from California were about l.MM) crates and with what was carried over from Saturday this proved too much. Sales for the most part ranged from $1 to $1.50 per crate and many fine lots were sold at a sharp loss. Hood River shipped In the first crate of strawberries of the season and they brought 50 cents a pound on the street. Receipts of Valley berries were light. Cherries were plentiful, but being of small size, were very slow sale at $11.40 per box. Among the vegetable arrivals was Sum mer squash from Coachella, which sold at $1.23, and a shipment of Los Angeles cab bage, quoted at $2.50 per crate. Carlo! re ceipts were one car each of cabbage and lemons, and three cars of oranges. CONTRACT HOPS AT CENTS. Poor Crop In England Tends to Boost Ta coma Prices. TACOMA. . Wash., May 11. (Special.) Dealers in hops report prospects improving in the trade, which has been marked by such extremely low prices as to discourage many growers. Local buyers say there Is a good demand for hojis now and contracts are being made at 8 and 0 cents for this sea son's crop. The poor prospects for the hop crop in England, caused by the bad weather, has materially stiffened the market here and within the past seven days prices have advanced about 1H and 2 cents. Many growers who have been thinking of plowing up their vines may be Induced to recon sider this purpose and give the crop another trial this year. Frolt Prospects In Whitman County. COU'AX, Wash., May 11. Rain, which commenced falling In Whitman County Fri day night in email showers, ' still continues, and farmers and fruitgrowers are very much encouraged by the outlook for good crops. W. I I-aFollette. who owns the largest fruit farm in Whitman County, located at Wawawai, on the Snake River south of Col fax, says that undoubtedly the fruit crop this year will be larger than last year. Speaking of conditions last year, he said he lost fully $15,ooo by not having pickers and boxers at the right time, the fruit going to waste. There is little likelihood of frost from now on.

At this sea son there are all kinds of reports relative to the hop outlook for this" year. It 1 conceded that yards where hops were left standing on the vines last year will not make as good showing this year. Reports come in of "fuzzy" hills, backward growth and decidedly poor prospects, but all this is heard year after year at this period. About 15 per cent of yards has been plowed up, but It Is safe to predict that others will make an average showing. Dealers are offering to contract at 7 and 8 cents, with few takers. Oats In Demand and Firmer. The oat market was much firmer yester day than It has been for some time. There was a strong demand from California, wbere the crop is looking bad. and there was also inquiry from Seattle. A car of No. 1 white oats was sold at the Board of Trade at $28 and an offer was posted to buy 2O0 tons more at the same price. With a good California demand, the wheat market held up in spite of the slump at Chicago. Big Sheep Sale In Eastern Oregon. CONDON, Or., May 11.

GREATER THAN LAST YEAR Speculative Sentiment in Stock Mar ket Is Influenced by the Bright ened Outlook for Financing. Bonds Strong and Active. NEW YORK. May 11. Speculative senti ment today was still under the dominion of the brightened outlook tor corporation financing, which has been the ruling in fluence all through the present rise In stocks. The piling up of bank reserves and the declining rates for money promise abundant resource for further flotation of new capital Issues and executive officers of the railroad companies feel correspondingly relieved of the anxieties which enveloped them during the paralysis of railroad credit. How far this Influence has already made itself felt Is Indicated by the estimate of the Journal of Commerce of the total capi tal Issues In April, the figure rising to $230,726.3-34, as against $207,447,0000 in April of last jrear. This Includes the Penn sylvania bond sale, which proved so power ful a stimulating factor on the demand for new Issues. The April total is larger than for any previous month this year and leaves the four months' issues since January 1 at only $51,888,746 less than In the corre sponding four months of active financing last year. The stimulating effect of the Pennsylvania bond issue is expected to be seen In further additions to the list during May sufficient to bring tne figure fully abreast of last year's figure, and the opinion is advanced, in view of this showing, that the total of new capital authorized during 1008 will not fall short of the $2,102,362,000 authorized In 1H07. Discussion of ' the Union Pacific issues, expected terms and amount continued very active today. That a considerable portion of the loan will be placed abroad Is taken for granted, but France and Germany were assumed as more likely destinations for the foreign allotments than London, as In the Pennsylvania loan. Perusal of the Saturday bank statement was impressive in Its disclosure of the measure of the resources aallable for new borrowing. The $l,270,S24.i)00 of deposits held by the clearing-house banks on Satur day, form an absolute record, and the $03,883,475 surplus above the legal require ment of the cash reserve nas never been exceeded except in the after-panic period of wiien torces ot tne saine nature were at work to cause the accumulation as are in operation now. Confidence in the money outlook, founded on this showing, was little altered by the prospect of a resumption of gold exports and the large withdrawals of the Subtreasury on account of the return of Government de posits by the banks. Discount rates in Lon don and Paris declined and the Bank of England marked down the price of gold In spite of further purchases for Paris account In London. Outside of the money outlook, there was nothing In the day's developments to prompt hopes of enhancing values. The committee on car efficiency of the American Railway Association made another fortnightly re port on the number of Idle freight cars In the country, which showed for April 29, an addition to the record figure of April 13 of 37,714 freight cars held idle In this country, bringing it to the formidable total of 413, 338, representing an enormous1 valuation of Investment on which no earnings are accru ing. Railroad officials reported that there was no Improvement in the rraffic showing. Weather conditions In some localities last week -affected to some extent the feeling of confidence over the wheat crop prospect. The stock market showed new stocks being pushed upward which have not been promi nent In the rise before. There was heavy realizing at the same time In the recent leaders of the advance. Constant Irregu larity of tone was the consequence. Bonds were active and strong. Total sales par value, $6,364,000. United States bonds were unohanged on call. CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS. Closing Bid.
