OUTLOOK FOR HOPS
Klaber Does Not Take Hopeful
View of Future.
STILL TOO MANY GROWN
Decrease in the American Consump
tion Is Greater Than the Reduc
tion Caused by Flowed Up
Yards English Conditions.
Herman Klaber does not think there la
much chance of (rood prices in the hop
market th is Fall as the production, even
with the decrease in acreage, is likely to
exceed the requirements of the brewing
trade.
"Estimates of the decrease In the Ameri
can consumption of beer In lOOS," he said,
"range from 5.000,000 to 8,000,000 barrels.
This means that the consumption of hops in
the United States will be reduced to nearly
200,000 bales. In addition to that the brew
ers are carrying a very heavy surplus,- as
they have been able to buy at the lowest
prices on record. A good many brewers are
going into the 1008 crop with enough hops
to last them fully half a year, and "many
will not require any hops at all. The pro
hibition sentiment having become so strong,
brewers are pursuing a hand-to-mouth
policy in their buying, not knowing their
position, and the chances are they will not
buy more until they actually require them.
"The prospects are anything but cheer
ful and I can see no improvement In sight,
especially Jf the growers go ahead with
their yards and try to produce all the hops
they can.
"The only salvation for the farmer and
his 100S crop is the chance of a failure in
Bngland, but the latest reports from
abroad are that they will have a normal
yield per acre.
"California reports are that the crop
there Is doing well and they should have
83,000 bales. "Washington will produce
about 20,000 bales, and the acreage in
Oregon can easily produce 125,000 bales,
even according to the prospects today.
"The question of the actual output will
depend entirely on conditions at picking
time. At present, farmers are being in
fluenced by the little Hurry In V.Ms and in
contracts to go ahead with their yards. If
they should produce a yield according to
the estimate given, they will be In a posi
tion to lose money by harvesting the hops,
and 1 will make the prediction that if the
European crops continue as they now Indi
cate, and the Pacific Coast raises 225,000
bales, as estimated, hops will rule even
lower In price next season than they have
this season.
"The hopgrowers have the matter of
future hop prices entirely 'in their own
hands. If they curtail production this sea
son, they will probably make money in
future seasons, but if they raise all the
hops now on the poles, and thus -Increase
the surplus, it will he a number of years
before prices are again on a profitable basis.
I think It will pay the growers to give this
matter a great deal of consideration."
FIRST WATERMELON'S O F SEASON
Grapes Alwo Arrive From Southern Cali
fornia Frutt Market Well Stocked.
The watermelon season is at hand. A
shipment of 13 small crates arrived yester
day and they were quoted at 6 cents a
pound, equal to about 7-3 cents each. A small
shipment of grapes also came along, which
were offered at $1.75 per crate.
The street was well supplied with fruit
and vegetables of all kinds, but the demand
was not as good as expected, considering
the favorable weather. Among the arrivals
were a car each of cantaloupes, apricots,
lemons, Valencia late oranges and onions
and half a car of Florida pineapples. The
latter sold at $550 per crate of two to
three dozens. Another car of apricots is
due today.
The strawberry market was overstocked
with poor fruit, which had to sell at low
prices. Choice berries were scarce and
brought up to $1.00 per crate.
The steamer brought a mixed lot of Cali
fornia vegetables, including corn, beans and
new potatoes. New Oregon potatoes are be
ginning to come in and sell around 1
cents per pound. The California article is
more matured and brings 2 cents.

advanced yet, as receipts continue large.
Receipts of eggs steadily decrease, but the
demand is backward and prices are barely
steady.
There were heavy arrivals of cheese yes
terday from Tillamook and the market has
a weak aspect.
No new developments are reported In the
butter trade.
Reduction in England's Hop Acreage.
A cable received from London yesterday
said that the British government's hop acre
age bulletin showed 4500 acres of hop land
plowed up since the 1007 harvest. This brings
the present acreage in England to about 40,
000 acres.

STOCK TRADE DULL
Market Deserted by All but
Professionals.
MOVEMENT IS SLUGGISH
Uncertainty as to Crop Outcome Is
Also Factor in Unsettlement of
Speculation Bonds Are
Irregular.
NEW YORK, June 23. So far as they
were mirrored In the securities market,
events had no important bearing on value
and price, moved sluggishly and hesitatingly
today under the influence of professional op
erations. The market was one of typical
Summer dullness and the expectation of this
condition of affairs was ehown In the readi
ness with which a motion was adopted to
cIoi the Stock Exchsmue on Friday, July 3,
In order to prolong the Independence day holi
day from Thursday evening until the follow
ing Monday.
ciai Affairs are already bent on prolonged ,
vacations- ana traders and commission nouses
apparently recognize the futility of hopes of
an active market. The mid-seaeon between
conventions of the great political parties Is
discouraging to any definite committments in
pursuance of speculative views.
The outcome of the crops is also Included
In the doubtful factors which must remain
a source of possible uneettiement of specula
tion up to the period of the actual harvest.
The acute pressure against the Rock Inland
securities, which weakened the market yes
terday, subsided today and this was the most
Important element in the recovery which set
In.
Fonde were Irregular. Total sales, oar
value, $1,438,000. .- United States 2s declined

SELLING IS HEAVY
Chicago Wheat Market Is
Weak All Day.
SLUMP OF ONE CENT
Depression Due to Reports of Good
Weather for Harvesting In South
west and for Crop Develop
ment in Northwest.
CHICAGO. June 23 The wheat market
was weak all dav. owing to liberal sales bv
leading commission houses, which were based 1
chiefly on good weather for harvesting In
the Southwest and for the development of
the new crop In the Northwest. A weak mar
ket for wheat at Liverpool also helped to
induce selling on the local exchange. Re
ports regarding yields from threshing were
conflicting, but the majority of pit traders
were inclined to place credence In the more
optimistic reports. The clcee was weak. July
opened Istilic lower to . a shade higher at
80c to 86c, sold off to 85o and closed
at 85 c.
Corn was dull and weak. The market closed
weak. July at 69!'4c.
Oats were depressed by the weakness of
wheat and corn. July closed at 4645c.
Provisions were dull and steady. At the
close September pork was up 6c, lard was
unchanged and ribs were a shade higher.

WOOLGROWEBS ARE DISAPPOINTED
Consider Prices Offered at Baker City Sales
Too Low.
BAKER CITY. Or., June 23. (Special.)
At 2:30 this afternoon wuolgrowers refused
to put up wool for further bids, so lew had
been the prices offered during the day. A
general feeeling of disappointment prevails
among the woolgrowers. They feel that the
bids have not been equal to those at other
points, and today after consultation among
themselves, they decided to declare all nego

BUILD BIGGER WARSHIPS
England's Senior Admiral bays
I.lmlt Is Not Kcachcd.
SAN FRANCISCO, June 23. Sir James
Elphlnstone Erskine, senior of the six
Admirals of the British fleet, arrived in
this city yesterday on his way around the
world, accompanied by his wife and fam
ily. In an interview lie is quoted as ex
pressing the opinion that the Pacific will
be the scene of the next ocean warfare
though he would not say between what
powers. He also expressed the convic
tion that still gTeater battleships than
ever yet have been planned would be laid
down in future naval programmes; that
vessels of the Dreadnaught type had not
yet reached their fullest development.
The tendency, he said, was to put as
many guns as could be on a single base.
The Admiral, who is makini; a two
years' tour, came here by way of tho
Straits of Magellan. After a stay of a
few days he will proceed on his way to
the Orient by way of British Columbia.
Being 69 years of age, the Admiral will
go on the retired list next year.
RIVER SPREADS IN OMAHA
Missouri Readies Highest Stage in
2 7 Years.
OMAHA. Neb.. June 23. The Missouri
at Omaha shows the higrhest stage in 27
years. The stage, as officially reported
by the Weather Bureau this morning,
was 1S.9 feet, but an unofficial reading at
5 P. M. showed a stage of 19 2 feet, and
still rising slowly.
The first serious damage was done to
day, when several farms north of the
city and the plant of the National White
Lead Company, at East Omaha, were
partially inundated. No relief is antici
pated for 36 hours, and with a continued
rise for that length of time conditions
will become serious.
