THE MOKMAlx UKtGOA IA', FKIDAV, 3IAY 22, 1908. 17 S L PIPS ARE LOW Very Few English Growers Understand the Case,. MO AMERICAN CONSPIRACY High Prices of a Few Years Ago Led to Overproduction, and the Planters of England are the Chief Sufferers. While the English hopsrowers are hold ing mast meeting- and having; parades In an effort to attract the government's attention to the deplorable state of the Industry, and tioplng thereby to have a 40 duty placed on Importation, a few of the more Intelligent Engllnh farmer are able to see the situation In Its true light It was overproduction for several years that sent prices down, not only In England but the world over. The "dump ing" of American hops In London Is the effect, not the cause, of the depression. When the supply Is adjusted to the demand and prices are again profitable to growers, nothing will be heard of tariff agitation In England. Mr. Durst and his suggestions for flooding the English market with the Ameri can surplus did not cause the present out cry, though his proposal furnished cam palgn material for such English agitators as Banister, Harnett. Keame and Le May, mho are marshalling their forces In an at tempt to secure governmental protection for English growers. At a recent sitting of the Parliamentary Investigating committee, after a long line of witnesses had attributed the depression en 'tlrely to foreign competition, George Ballard, a Worcester hopgrower, took the stand and declared that causes other than foreign com petition must be looked for. There had been a reduction In the quantity of beer brewed, which In 1899 amounted to 37,464,383 bar rels, and In 1905 to 33,853,648 barrels. That was a very large reduction, and consequent ly there was a corresponding reduction In the quantity of hops required. He did not think growers sufficiently appreciated the fact that there was a reduction In the quantity of hops per barrel, and he thought this was brought about largely by the tied nouse system. Small brewers were being absorbed by large ones, and In that way a wastefulness which hitherto prevailed was checked. Brewers knew better how to man ege hope, and besides that the public did not wish for so much hops In their beer now. Brewers also knew how to blend better and how to use up old hope. He believed also that cold storage has been detrimental to the hopgrower. There Is no depreciation in hops stored and con sequently very little loss. Asked what remedies he would suggest, Mr. Ballard said that foreign hops should be marked as Eng lish hops had to be to prevent fraud, which he believed the foreigners practiced. Beer should also be defined as being brewed from malt, hops and yeast only, or otherwise. He thought alio that the returns of crops should be more accurate. Mr. Ballard said: "All our worst years have been years when we have grown large crops at home and the- Imports have been small. It was overproduction at home that paused us to suffer with regard to prices. I do not think that a duty on foreign hops would be a benefit unless the acreage was under the demand." "Are vou t the opinion," he was asked, "that unless something Is done grubbing will continue veTy--raptdtyT" '- - - "I don't think it will," replied the wit ness, adding that although 6000 or 7000 acres had been grubbed tnls year, he did not see any reason why U should continue next year. If the Imports Increased rap Idly It might cause a difference, but there had been, no Increase during the last 1M years. Asked If he ras aware that the Imports had Increased rapidly during the last few months, Mr. Ballard said that did not matter, as It was the continuous Importa tion for s long time that mattered. If a thousand acres) of hops were to be grubbed In Worcester next year the effect would not be much felt, as the amount would be spread over a very large area. He thought the labor question with regard to hops had been exaggerated. Alfred Amos, a hopgrower of Wye, East Kent, said the depression In the hop Indus try waa due to overproduction. He tood to win as much a anybody by a duty on hope, but he thought that whatever foreign competition was driven away there would be Just as much competition at home and the grower would be no better off than he waa at present. The imposition of a duty would result in raising rents. If they were rot too high now. He was opposed to a tax on any Imports. The English brewers are. of course, strongly opposed to the Imposition of a duty on foreign hops, but the friends of the measure now propose that the barrel tax on beer be reduced ?4d to offset the duty. What effect this will have on the opposition remains to be seen. OPTTOX PEIIJXO ON" BOARD OF TRADE T. B. Wilcox Expresses Himself Strongly Agftlnst It. Members of the Board of Trade are much Interested In the forthcoming report of the committee of three appointed to Inquire Into the advisability of dealing In grain options. The committee was appointed at a general meeting of the grain trade recently at which all the Arms were represented, and was the outcome of a motion made by Gay Ixtmbard, who spoke strongly in favor of option dealing on the Exchange. At the time the committee was appointed It was understood that two and possibly all of them were in favor of the move, but since that time. It is said, sentiment has under gone a change, and It Is not likely now that a unanimous report In. favor of option trsdlng will be made. In the grain trade, opinions differ as to the course that should be followed. The ex porters, as a rule, are not in favor of buy ing and selling futures at the local board, but most of the other grain merchants want to see it done. T. B. Wilcox, of the Portland Flouring Mills, expressed himself plainly on the subject yesterday. "I am not in favor of establishing gam bling houoes of any kind in this city." he said. "I do not want a place where our clerks, stenographers and servant girls can gamble away their wages on wheat or any thing else, and I do not propose to lend my name to any such Institution. If the Board of Trade goes into this business, I wlU withdraw from It entirely. - I am opposed to It oa moral grounds. When I want to buy wheat, I will go Into the country and buy lt.- So far as the Board, of. .Trade, as aa or ganisation. Is concerned. It Is neutral In. the matter. The subject is now In the hands of . the commute and will be passed upon finally by the rratn department as a whole. Whatever the majority of members decide upon will be done by the Board. NOT KNOr;H STRAWBERRIES ARRIVE California Playing Out and Oregon Not Yet Plentiful. Ftrawbrry receipts were very light yes terday. The Florin season Is drawing to a close and offerings are small from other California actions. Prices were firm yes terday at l.0il.75 per crate, Oregon berries were only In fair supply and sold firmly at 13 cents per pound. A car of mixed California vegetables was received. Including among ather things new "Ulflowor. which sold at 2.30 per crate. Local peas were very abundant and cheaper. EGO RECEIPTS ARE . FALLING OFT But Country Is Not Yet Drained Chickens Come In Freely. Eggs were very firm yesterday with the lightest receipts of any day this season. Prices were quoted from 19 to 20 cents. Reports from the country are of consider able supplies yet to be drawn upon, but tip the weather is good for holding them, the country shippers are firm. Poultry arrivals were large and as buy ing was not very brisk, the market was weak. Hens were generally quoted at 14 cents and fryers and broilers at 224 25 cents. Butter was firm with a first-class ship ping demand. Former prices were quoted on all brands. Old Hops at Three Cents. Word was received yesterday from Salem of the sale of the Kavanaugh lot of 110 bales of old hops at 3 cents. Ed C. Herren was the purchaser. This is the best price paid for the 1006 crop In a long time and is ample proof of the etrong position of the market. Trading in 1907 trontinues slow, owing to the firmness' of holders. A 70-bale lot was bought by McKinley Mitchell at 5 cents and there were reports of some business at 6 cents. Bank Clearings.

PRICES ARE MANIPULATED Rapid Fluctuations Confuse Specu lators Three-Point Gain In Union Pacific Leads to a Strong Closing. NEW YORK. May 21 The movement of Frices In the stock market today was erratic to a high degree and wide and sud den declines and advances succeeded each other In rapid sequence. It Is not to be supposed that operations on the speculative outlook could undergo such wide and quick alterations aa were reflected by the constant variations In the course of prices today. The assumption was jreneraU therefore, that these changes were largely of manipulative origin ind designed to conceal the condition of operations that were being conducted. The design, was sue cessfuL If this waa Its object. Heavy out pourings of stocks for a time would give an appearance of disorderly liquidation. A sudden upward spurt would follow and send discomfiture Into the racks of the bears, who had .been following the appar ent liquidation with short sales. Most of the day's business was conducted at prices below those ruling yesterday. This would represent a setback of sufficient di mensions to have eliminated an important portion of the weakest of the speculative following, the presence of which Is regarded aa an impediment by the leaders of a bull movement. The bears, therefore, were par ticularly alert for signs of a renewal of the upward movement in force. Brokers whose operations were followed on the advance on the assumption that they came from the Influential capitalists credited with the con duct of the campaign, were open sellers of stocks today, but only with the result of arousing suspicion of a ruse and so add ing to the confusion of the speculators. Little attention was paid to events bear ing on outside affairs and none was reported of great Importance. United States Steel was almost Immovable most of the day and took no share In the feverish fluctuations In other quarters of the list. The action of the stock fosters the belief that stability of Its quotation in the market is aa much sought by the sponsors as prices of the product by officials of the corporation. The Gould stocks still held a prominent place by rising prices, even while the rest of the list was reactionary. The assertion persisted that a practical alliance had been formed between the Gould and Harrlinan railroad Interests and financial backing fur the alliance from the Rockefellers. A sud den turn from the downward course of American 8meltlng was due to a new view of the dividend outlook, of which positive predictions have been current lately that the rate would be reduced or passed at the next meeting. The declaration of the regu lar dividend on National Lead gave force to the denials of Intended reduction of the American Smelting dividend. Some ex pressed uneasiness over crop conditions was heard while prices were declining. The rally In effect when the market closed was more decisive than any of tho other numerous partial recoveries during the day. Union Pacific's strong three-point advance was of marked sentimental effect, and as a consequence, gains over last night wero the rule for final prices. Bonds were irregular. Total sales, par value, 13.186,000. United States bonds were unchanged on call. CLOS1NO STOCK QUOTATIONS. ' Closing . Bales. High. Low. Bid.

"For 36 years my books were sold by subscription," he said. "The books passed into the hands of my present publisher in 1904 and then you became the providers of my diet. I think I may say without flattering you that you have done ex ceedingly well by me. "By the4erms of my contract, my pub lishers had to account to me for 50.000 volumes per year for five years, and pay me for them whether they sold them or not. It is at this point that you gentle men come In, for it was your business to unload the 250,000 volumes on the public in five years if you possibly could. Have you succeeded? Yes, you have, and more, for in four years with a year still to spare you have sold the 250,000 and 240, 000 besides.' He then said he was building a farm house with the proceeds, where he intends to take a vacation for 30 or 40 years after completing the five books he 1b now en gaged on.

PLANS TOLSTOI JUBILEE Friend of Novelist Makes Suggestion to His Admirers. LONDON, May 21. Count Vladimir Tchertkoff, who represents Count Leo Tolstoi in England, writes a long letter to the Times suggesting that the best way to celebrate Tolstoi s jubilee would be for groups of friends In various parts of the world to sign short greetings for conveyance to the author, and for the collection of a fund to be devoted to the publication of a complete and authorltive collection of his later writings, since 1881, In the Russian language. This has never yet been done owing to the lack of funds and the Russian censorship, and would only be possible outsid of Russia.
