THE 3IORXIXG OREGOXIAX, SATURDAY, MAY SO, 190S. 13 HOPTRADEAND BEER Decrease m Brewery Output Not so Marked. BARREL TAX IN APRIL Government FJ?ures Show a Shrink age of Only 102, 296 Barrels, While in Preceding Month the Decrea se Was 5 0 8 . 5 6 0 . Government figures have been received on the beer production in April, which make a better thowinK. from the brewers? standpoint, than the statistics of the earlier months. The -output Is still under that of a year ago, but the decrease Is not so marked as in February and March. The beer production, in barrels, of the first fnur months of the year compare with the same months of 3907 as follows: IlifiT rtec January 3.737.434 3.a.m RS.3o:s February 3,&0,76 3.22,43 l'.S.9r3 March 4.rtl.415 4.1.V...S-1-0 5'S 5t April 4.627.868 4,5J5,57 102. 2U6 The decrease In the consumption of beer, as Is shown by the above figures, is not due entirely to the prohibition movement, but Is the effect rather, of business depression In the East and climatic conditions. The cold weathr in March was principally re sponsible for the heavy shrinkage in produc tion that month. Purine the coming Sum mer It Is considered probable that no de crease will be shown, unless general busi ness should be very poor, and it is more than likely that there will be an Increuse in the consumption of beer, as usually oc curs in a period of political excitement. These beer statistics have a direct bear ing on the hop market, showing the pres ent consumption of hops and the future re quirements of brewers, who are rapidly drawing on their present reserve stocks. Up to this time, however, the Eastern demand for hops has been nominal and the only support given the market has boen the ex port inquiry. The London trade continues to stock up on hops of all descriptions. This foreign de mand Is attributed by many of the local dealer to a desire on the part of English speculators to load up with American hops in anticipation of England putting a duty on Imports. Decreased acreage and poor crop prospects in England are also doubt less an Influence in the buying. The English fcnp inquiry committee, ap pointed by Parliament to Investigate the condition of the hop industry in England, continues to hold sessions and gathor evi dence for and against the Imposition of a tax on American and othec imported hops. At the session of May 8. the principal wit ness was Charles Oscar Grldley, of the firm of rattley. Grldley ft Co.. hop merchants, of London, who spoke In behalf of the Hop Growers' Association. In answer to the chairman. Mr. Grldley paid: No doubt the Acreage under hops was decreasing, because growers were losing money. He had also tried to find out why thoy were losing money, and had arrived st the conclusion that the chief cause was the Importation of cheap foreign hop's com ing into th country duty free. It was gen erally accepted by every ope who knew the Pacific Coant that hops could be raised and put on the market in England at a profit If sold at AOs per hundredweight. He was in California in 1814, and then a little In dian and Chlne labor was ued. but gen erally the cost of lubor used m be as hih an it was In England. The Vac-Mo Coast growers could grow so cheaply because of natural advantages. If a i'hn duty Is placed upon foreign hops it "ill place the Partite Cott.st grower pretty well m an equality with the English grower. If this in done, I hope it will make a largely lnreajed acreage in England pay. The ef fect upon tradHt-4 will be that they will be able to hold English hops better than they can today. With an unknown quantity threatening to come over here. It Is Impos sible to gauge the market sufficiently well to say that any price English hops com monce at will be maintained. ar.d, therefore, English traders and brewers have learned a very bitter lesson by holding English stock and seeing Its value gradually depreciate week by week. The majority of the brewer were with the hop growers In the matter. His association also advocated an increased tax on foreign beer. He anticipated that the import of Paciflo Coast hops into England this year w-ould be a record one. From January to the end of April 1&.V0O0 centals of American hops had been sent over, and he believed that that abnormal importation was due to the belief of the American growers that a duty would shortly be put on Imported hops, nn1 they wished to reap the additional profit. FIRST CANTEXOCPKS OF THE SEASON Kdot Crate I'ome From Brwley Local Po litic Market Firm. Four crate of cantaloupes, the first of the season, arrived from Hrawlcy. Cal.. yesterday. They sold at 94 per crate. A shipment of 43 boxes of apricots arrived, and as they were green they sold slowly at $1.50'? 1.75 per box. Strawberries wrre In fair supply and moved readily. Hood Rivers and Spring Brooks brought 94 per crate and other Oregons $3.rt0. California berries ware quoted at $l.T5$f2. Carlot receipts from California were a car each of navel oranges and lemons and two oars of red onions. The local potato market Is strong;. In splta of the slump at San Francisco, and jobbers were yesterday asking 91 & 1.10. Shippers are Ignoring San Francisco and filling soma Tilers far Arizona and Seattle. No Improve ment In the Pay City market la expected for about 10 days, when the present heavy stocks will be worked off. tiiIiAmook skips ail its cheesk "o Likelihood of a IVcline In the Next Two or Three Weeks. Cheese Is cleaned up well at Tillamook, as everything- fit to ship has been moved out. and any chance of the market declining in the next two or throe weeks' Is remote, Thecal stocks are not excessive and the mar-i ket Is held steady by a good Northern de mand. The Bound Is also buying -butter freely, as the Seattle market is above Portland, and there Is no danger of a surplus accumu lating here in the near future. The poultry market was decidedly weak yesterday and several overloaded dealers onVred to clean up chickens at 1- cents. Kegs were slow and barely steady at the former range of prices. California Buying Wheat. The only buying apparent in the wheat market is on California account. For South ern shipment dealers are paying i3 Hnta for bluestem aid 10 cents for club. These prices are from 1 to 3 rents above sport values and are also more than local nlllers can pay, but the Californtans face . shortage and are therefore compelled to Id up In order to got the grain.

WOOLGROWERSSELL Accept Low Prices Rather Than Hold Their Clips. PRICES PAID AT HEPPNER Penland Cl?p Bought hy the Botany 3fills at 14 5-8 Onts Over 1, 000,600 Pounds Changes Hands Low Price 9 Cents. HEPPNER. Or., May Tfi. (Special.) Over a million pounds of wool was placed on the market today In this city by the growers and It was nearly all bought In by the 15 buyers present. There is a heavy slump In the price of wool from that of last year, about lO cents a pound. The sheepmen are not satisfied with the price, but are letting go. as seldom Is anything made by holding over until an other year. " The Penlani clip of T75.O00 pounds was bought In by Ellery, of the 3otany Worsted Mills, at 14 cents, whic'i is the highest price paid for any clip. Several clips went at 14 cents and some over, and the lowest price paid was 0 cents. This sale promises to be the largest sealed bid sale ever held In this city, as it will take until Saturday evening to complete. About 700,000 pounds will be placed on the market tomorrow, at which time some of the best wool In this section of the state will be sold. LONDON WOOL AUCTION BALES. . Sudden Chang Brings Recovery of Open ings Decline. LONDON. May 29. The third series of the wool auction sales ended today. The fea ture of the. auction was the sudden change which occurred during the first week, when th e open Ing deel 1 ne of 7 to 15 was re covered under heavy buying for all sections, American operations being especially good In well-grown greasy crossbreds. The Im provement In good clip progressed until the final sales, compared with the April sales, showed merinos unchanged, crossbreds suit' able for American lO per cent higher, me dium coarse crossbreds- 5 to per cent dearer. Pine and crossbreds and heavy me rinos eased off during the last few days and) with Cape of Good Hope and Natal wool closed. 5 per cent lower than the second series. During the sales home spinners took 9000 bale, continental buyers 10,000 and Amer icans 6000. There were 130,000 bales held over for the fourth series.

HILL STOCKS STRONG HEAVJT BUTIXG THE FEATURE OF THE MARKET. Accumulation by the Controlling In terest Rebound in the Gould Issues. NEW YORK. May 20. The stock market today was of the usual p re-holiday character, largely confined, that to. to the closing up of outstanding contracta and showing little disposition to make new commitments. The prevailing speculative temper on the stock exchange was to be Inferred from the fact that most of these outstanding commitments were on the short side of the market. The general hardening of prices during the day was due more to that fact than to any new phase In conditions. The brisk rebound in the Gould issues was Interpreted to mean that the shock of the Wabaah-PIttsburg Terminal embarrassment has been practically absorbed by the market in the downward plunge of the last few days in the group. No authoritative announce ment was made until after the eeanlon of the course to be pursued In the matter of the interest due on Monday on the Wabash-Pittsburg firsts, but it was taken for granted in the financial district that a reorganization through receivership was In contemplation. The feature of the stock market was the aggressive strength of the two HI II railroad stocks. The personality of the brokers buy ing the stocks gave the Impression of ac cumulation by the controlling Interest and Induced the traders to follow the movement. There was some special show of strength In American Smelter, which was connected with the varying rumors regarding the divi dend prospects of that stock. The narrow market was almost wholly made up of such special movements due to individual causes. The fact that no gold was taken for ex port tomorrow was not assumed to Indicate the end of the movement, tout was associated rather with the question of convenience of steamship transportation. More g"ld is ex pected to go to Germany next week. Today's etatement of the Bajik of France shows the rapid growth of bullion holdings which threatens a depletion in the available supply. There was an easing tendency also in some departments of the Paris money market. Al though the hank statement was not published until after the close of the local stock mar ket, an undiminished ease of money left no apprehension over the complexion of the weekly hank ehowtng to be made. The sharp break in the grain markets was held to show that the weeks' level of prices has been held at an artificial height by sympathy with the corner operations of the May delivery. The bank statement showed fully the ex pected decrease in cash holdings on account of the gold exports and Government withdrawals.-but the only trace of the supposed heavy loan expansion on account of the large financial transact ions put through during the week was the $5,375,000 loan Increase of the trust companies. The clearing-house Institu tions showed a decrease of loans both In the averages and the actual condition. Bonds were irregular. " Total sales, $334,000. United States 2s, registered, and the 3s have advanced and the 4s, registered, per cent for the week. CLOSING STOCK QUOTATTONS. Closing; Sales. High. Low. Bid.
