MANY MEMBERS FAVOR IT
Important Meeting Held, at Whicli
Grain Department Is Fully Or
ganized Rules Committee
Report Adopted.
A sentiment In favor of dealing in grain
futures on the Portland Board of Trade has
developed among the grain merchants of
this city. The matter came up for dts
cusslon at a meeting at the Board at noon
yesterday, when some arguments in favor
of the movement were made. A committee
consisting of Gay Lombard, A. Berg and J.
E. Murphy was appointed to investigate the
matter and report at the. next meeting of
the grain interests. -
Teeterday' meeting of the grain men was
one of the most important ever held In
this city. All the, local firms were repre
sented and keen interest was taken In the
proceedings. The meeting was primarily
called to pass upon the rules as drawn up
ty the special committee.- These rules were
fully approved am) signed and the grain
department of the Board of Trade became
in established fact. '
A grain committee was appointed to have
charge of the operations of the depart
ment. It consists of the former rules com
mittee, I. C. Sanford, chairman, D. A.
Pattullo, Thomas McKee, Frank G. Shull
and and Frank W. Swanton.
HOP MARKET STRONG ANI ACTIVE
Medium Qualities Showing a Steady
Advance.
The hop market is not only active but de
cidedly firm, with a strong inquiry for both
olds and news. Growers ideas have been
stiffened by the presence .of buyers and re
peated telephone Inquiries in all parts of
the country. Up to date the best price paid
was CVi cents for a single lot, but several
purchases have been made at 6 cents. The
lower grades have also participated In the
improvement, and mediums have been pur
chased for a full cent more than the same
hops were offered at two weeks ago.
The demand seems to be almost entirely
for export account. In the past two days,
H. I. Hart has bought over 600 bales at 4
to 5 cents. Including the Schmidt lot at
Monitor, Bye lot at Sliver ton and Stark
weather A Apperson lot at Milwaukie. Car
mlchael secured the Ole Rea tot of 80 bales
at Monitor at 5 cents.
The following cable froni Ironmonger, at
London, was received by Isaac Pincus &
Sons, of Tacoma, yesterday:
"Market unchanged but unsettled with
prices irregular. "Weather is wet and cold
and unfavorable for growing crop."
English trade reports bearing date of
April 27 to April 29. follow:
.Messrs, Wild, Neame A Co., London The
low level of prk-es has Induced rather more
inquiry, but the actual amount of business
passing is still of a very restricted char
acter. Manger & Henley, London The market
lias been very quiet during the past week in
consequence of the holidays. Values remain
steady and unchanged.
W. H. & H. Le May, London There is
some inquiry for English hops from con
sumers: prices now ruling are certainly very
tempting and are Inducing some to cover
their requirements for the next few months.
The plant has had a bad start; the young
bine is vry yeUow and seems to have little
Vigor in many gardens.
The Exchange and Hop Warehouses, Lim
ited. London There is no alteration in the
market to report this week. Business Is still
very quiet, only a few small 'Sots changing
hands, these being only for immediate con
sumption. Prices remain unaltered.
J. H. Meredith & Co., Worcester Busi
ness remains In an exceedingly depressed
condition, and no growers' hops passed the
public scales last week, the small inquiry
for immediate use being met out of mer
chants' stocks. Values show no notable
change. Plantation growth is very back
ward, the young hop shoots being barely
out of the ground.
.OOT DEMAND FOR STRAWBERRIES
Big Out-of-ToTvn Orders Help to Clean Vp
Large Receipts.
Notwithstanding the disagreeable weath
er, the strawberry mnrket was in very good
shape yesterday and the demand was strong
enough to clean up practically all the re
ceipts, which were fairly large. The good
trade was due principally to the inquiry
from outside points. California berries were
Quoted ata wide range of from $1 to Sl.JW
per crate, while the best Oregon berries sold
at $2,30 a per crate. Black Tartarin
cherries are coming In now and as they are
better than the first arrivals the demand
has improved.

Stock Values Are Held Up With
Difficulty.
OFFERINGS ARE LARGE
Condition of the Money Market
Again Attracts Attention Vigor
ous Rally In Prices Near the
Close of the Session.
KEW YORK. May 15. Today's stock mar
ket showed distinctly the growth of that
strain which must accompany a prolonged
movement of prices in one direction,
whether the movement has simply reached
an adequate level to represent truly the
new basis of values or has overrun It. The
higher price have gone, the greater the
attractions offered to the holder to sell his
stock and realise profits. The market gave
evidence early today that the task of sus
taining prices was growing burdensome In
the face of the increased volume of offer
ings that had to be absorbed tor that pur
pose. The protection of the market, hoftv
ever, was not abandoned and the subsidence
of activity on the declines showed that
holders of stocks felt their position strong
enough ta persist when the rate of profit
decreased to unattractive figures. There
was a vigorous rally toward the last.
Consideration must be given the money
market outlook In the prospective with
drawal week after next of another 925,000.
000 of Government deposits. The gold out
flow, after running out in the channel to
Paris, apparently was diverted today to Ber
lin, 91.000,000 for that destination being
engaged. It Is thought this movement to
Germany will reach a considerable volume.
While the resources at command are plenti
ful in the present circumstances, it is likely
that as they are being drawn upon the sur
plus of the New York banks may begin to
decline.
The April foreign trade statement shows
that the decline of 924,000,000 in value of
our exports was heavily outmatched by the
942,000,000 shrinkage in imports, leaving the
outward movement of gold to other causes
for explanation than the international mer
cantile exchanges.
Union PacUlc. Chesapeake ft Ohio and
Baltimore & Ohio were effective agents in
rallying the market, and the consequence
was a reduction In the net changes to small
figures.
Bonds were Irregular. Sales, par value,
94.514,000. United States 3a advanced
and the 4s H per cent on the bid.

TRADE , CONDITIONS . RESPOND
TO WEATHER CHANGES.
Lower Prices Named for Pig Iron
Canae an Increase in Tonnage
of New Contracts.
NEW YORK. May 15. Dunn's review of
trade tomorrow will say: Trade conditions
are most responsive to the weather at this
time of the year, and more seasonable tem
perature Drought distinct Improvement dur
ing the past week. Buyers are assembling
at primary markets to attend special sales,
ami stocks of staple goods are running low
In retail stores because of conservative pur
chases. Mercantile collections are more
prompt.
Transportation conditions are at the least
satisfactory point of the year thus fan 19
per cent of the cars being idle.
Lower prices for pig Iron have been
named with good reBults. a fair tonnage
of new contracts being secured, although
many concerns delay In the hope of still
better terms. ' -
BETTER FEEUNO IN COTTON GOODS
Belief Is General That Bottom Prices Have
Bn Readied.
NEW YORK, May 15. Bradstreefs to
morrow will say;
Weather, trade and crop reports are ir
regular, warm days alternating with heavy
rain storms and retail and Jobbing demand
has been of a fluctuating character. There
Is evident, however, a measurable improve
ment in the tone of affairs commercial and
Industrial, a partial reflection, perhaps, off
the better feeling in financial lines. The
most significant feature in actual trade
circles Is perhaps the wide acceptance of the
belief in the cotton goods trade that this
branch of trade has seen the bottom as
to prices.
Best reports as to Improvement in Pall
buying come from the large centers like
New York. Chicago and St. Louie, while
current retail reports are best in the South
and Northwest. Dullness and slow collec
tions are still the distinguishing features In
Southern reports.
