READY TO TAKE SURPLUS Offered Prices, However, Do Not In duce Active Trading Cause of the Flurry in the For eign IH'niaud. A stronit sxport demand has sprung uo in the hop market, and enough orders have been received by dealers of the state, it Is aid, to take care of all the unsold supply of rood quality left In Oregon. Prices of fered, however, do ot seem attractive enough to cause much of a scramble to sell on the part of growers. The best figure reported to have been offered yesterday was 6c. Among the buyers in the market with export orders are E. C. Herren, Jack Car xnichael, Henry L. Bents and Kola Nets The E. C. Horst Company Is also buying. There is a disposition in some quarters to believe that the revival in. the English demand Is due to the belter that a duty 'will be put on hops imported in England and that the merchants of that country are loading up now to anticipate it. This factor may. in a measure, have some influ ence on buyers, Tjut it Is more than probable that the real cause of the flurry can be found In England's crop prospects. The re duction in the English acreage is placed at over 5000 acres, and In addition to this the crop is known to be coming on poorly. Fur thermore, the reduction in the American acreage promises a crop of some 70,000 bales under last year's. , The latest English papers contain reports of hopgrowers demonstrations at Ashford and Worcester, where resolu tions were adopted calling on the govern ment to Impose a 40i duty on American and other imported hops. At Ashford the proceedings were enlivened by a parade of farmers' wagons, many of which were dressed in crape and others decorated with mottoes of protest. One of these mottoes read: And shall hops picked by. Chinamen Make England's hop trade die? Here's 50.0OO Kentish men Who'll know the reason why." The resolutions adopted at Ashford were as follows: "This meeting of hopplckefs, agricultural laborers and others Interested in hop-growing, hold at Ashford. views with alarm the continuous and serious reduction of the English hop acreage, and call upon the government to take Immediate action to save the Industry by putting a 40s duty upon ail imported foreign hojw. and so pre serve remuneratlva employment and a health-giving outing to hundreds of thou sands of the English working classes during the month of September every year." "This mHl meeting of hopplckers, held at Ashford, respectfully requests the Se lect Committee to endeavor to sit more fre quently (as the matter Is mo very urgent) and hear all the evidence tendered, and to report as quickly as possible." The Hopplckers' Defense Association has planned a demonstration in London on May 10. "Hop Saturday," when It is expected to march 35,000 growers, pickers and laborers to Trafalgar Square, where speakers will denounce the Pacific Coast hopgrowers for their ability to produce hops cheaper than the Englishmen can. BOARD OF TRAUB MARKETS FIRMER. lVhnit, Oat, and Hurley (Show an Upward Tendency Receipts of rroduco. The .attendance of the grain men at -the Board of Trad yesterday was large. The firmness of the wheat market was shown by the offer to buy No. 1 blue stem at 92c. There was also an inquiry for gray milling oats at an advanced price. On the quota tion board, feed barley and white oats were raised 50c per ton. The following offers to buy were posted: 200 cubes extra creamery butter, 22c; 21)0 tons No. 1 blue stem, 02o f. o. b. Portland; 100 tons milling gray oats, $28, track, Portland. The produce members or the Board of Trade are much pleased .with the posting of receipts of produce. These statistics are willingly furnished by the express, steam boat and steamship companies, but some of the railroad companies are not yet ready to give their carlot and bulk receipts. These figures are necessary to make the service complete, and the Jobbers are In hopes the freight officials of the roads .will furnish the Information desired. Produce receipts of the 24 hours, ending .11 A. M. yesterday, were as follows: 34 boxes asparagus, 107 boxes butter, 55 boxes cherries. 50 coops chickens, 1 coop turkeys, 130 cases eggs, 78 hogs, 40 muttons, 104 veals, 5 beeves, 44 sacks peas, 3 boxes peas, 13H1 crates strawberries, 05 crates tomatoes. 6 boxes vegetables, 4 crates dressed poultry, 23 crates pineapples, 94 boxes lemons. NO ACTIVITY IX EASTERN MOHAIR. Manufacturers (iolng Very Blowly In Their Purchases. The mohair market In the Rast continues lifeless. The Boston Commercial Bulletin of latest date says: "Manufacturers are unable to see a sign of improvement on the horizon, and they are consequently going vety slowly in the purchase of additional supplies of raw ma terial, when there seems to be only a limit ed demand for the manufactured product. In the absence of trading, prices are nom inal, and it Is considered likely that con cessions from the ruling quotations could be obtained if a consumer were earnestly seeking even a moderate quantity of hair. "The foreign markets are also very quiet, and the general opinion of European opera tors is that business must 'pick up' in the I'nlted States before any material activity can be expected on the other side." MONTANA GROWERS TO HOLD WOOL There Mny be No Contracting, and a Slug gish Mnrket Is Looked For. HELENA, Mont., May 14. (Special.) At recent meetings here of the executive com mittees of the Montana Woolgrowers' Asso ciation and the Montana Woolgrow ers' Commission Company, It was decided to send out notices to all members, requesting them to hold their wool clip for what they considered a fair price, and not, be beaten down by the buy ers. Some of the Helena growers say that wool sriould be worth 20c this year; other flockmasters say 18c will likely be a top figure. It Is stated that there will be al most no contracting In Montana this year, and indications are that the transfer of clips will be sluggish, owing to the differ ence of opinion between buyers and growers. The clip this year Is estimated at 35.000,000 pounds Hay Market Is rim. With supplies of hay becoming low, the market has stiffened up materially. The best grades of Eastern Oregon timothy are now quoted at $20 per ton, and No. 1 Val ley timothy Is worth from $17 is. Very little hay Is left in the Valley and offer ings from Eastern Oregon are becoming light. Flno Sugars Quoted Lower. Fruit and berry sugar declined 10c per hundred yesterday. The reason given for the change is that the blank brands, which were quoted under it, are now practically off the market and a readjustment of prices was necessary. A the season of heaviest consumption Is now coming on, a "readjust ment" of another kind may be looked for. 'First Raspberries of the 8eaeon. Strawberry receipts were up to the aver l yesterdaa, and business was fair, though Tilth warmer weather the supply would not have been adequate. California berries sold at a wide range of II to ?1.75 per crate and Oregon berries at 10124c per pound. The first shipment of California raspberries was received. They came in crates of ltf half-pound cups and sold at $2.50 per crate. Among the carlot receipts were a car each of cabbage, onions and L,a perfecto lemons. Tony- O'Malley Returns. Tony O'Malley, one of the best-known produce men In the Northwest, returned to Portland yesterday, after an absence of a year and a half in Southern California, much improved In health.

May 14 The list of securi ties dealt In on the Stock Exchange had a more thorough exploitation today than on any other occasion during the extended ad vance that has occurred.

The regularity and precision of the move ment disclosed the skilled operations of pro fessionals and habitual speculative leaders. There were sharp gains ehown by the open ing prices, but they were mostly among the stocks of secondary importance. The whole list, however, was higher, and trading was active and broad. Union Pacific, Great Northern preferred, Amalgamated Copper Anaconda and Pacific Mail advanced large fractions. Additional slight advances in the rail road stocks brought out enough atock to check the rise In them for a while and it wag not until Reading began to be pur chased on an advance of 1 that the standard stocks hardened again. Meanwhile there was a large accumulation of numer ous specialties which gave animated ap pearance to the dealings. Many stocks were quoted a point or more above yester day's closing.

DECLARE BID IS IRREGULAR Abstract Publishers Question Rival's Status Under City Charter. That the Daily Guide is not proportly a newspaper and therefore under the city charter, which requires that only newspapers of general circulation can present bids, is not eligible to submit estimates on city printing, is the con tention made by the Daily Abstract, which at present Is the city official pa per. The Daily Guide, prior to May 1, consisted of a single sheet, which con tained information regarding the arrival and departure of trains and vessels, and general items pertaining to local ship ping. It was published twice a week. For the purpose of overcoming the ob stacle presented by the charter restric tion, the publishers of the Daily Ab stract assert that the Guide people transferred the contents of their single sheet to a four-page paper, combining with It advertisements of various local establishments and clippings appro priated from the press. This change was made on May 1 and bids for printing were submitted by the publishers to the city authorities. ' The Daily Abstract people declare that careful investigation fails to reveal any issue of the rival paper since its first number, and that a canvass of the ad vertisers represented in the sheet shows that such advertisements have been In serted without the knowledge or consent of the lirms represented and that any claims presented for such advertising will be repudiated. The change in the character of the publication was discovered on Wednes day, when bids covering the city print ing were opened. The matter has been referred to the City Attorney and a thorough investigation will be made to ascertain the status of the publication in question.
