EXPORT HOP TRADE
English Buyers Again. Out in
' Force.
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. Mr. O'Malley in
tends to remain permanently in Portland.

IVETW YORK. 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. This was done
by a process, of rotation which passed from
one quarter of the list to another, using the
sustaining effect of advances In stocks

viously taken on and advanced.' To-days
... n i truuseiiuence, larger than
on any day since the middle period of last
year.
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.
The advance in Beading and some of the
metal and mining stocks proceeded to
marked length, sioss Sheffield Steel rose

Steel preferred and Lake Erie and West
ern 3, Western Union and Reading 2. An

The buying movement shifted again to
the Harrlman and Hill stocks, which af
forded an opportunity for heavy profit-taking
In Reading and some of the specialties.
The broadening of the bond market was a
feature of the day. Total sales, par value.

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.
