NO - IMPORT-DUTY
Parliamentary Committee De
cides Against Hop Tax.
MAKES ITS FINAL REPORT
Agitation in England for a Protec- 1
t ire Tariff Is W'ithou t Ef rect
Means Much for American
Hop Industry.
The British government will not grant
the petition of the English hopgrowers for
a protective tariff on American and other
imported hops. It was intimated in the
dispatches a few days ago that the Parlia
mentary committee, which has been investi
gating the matter, would report adversely
on the petitions, and this has proved to be
a fact. The committee made its final re
port yesterday and tt decided against an
Import duty. A cable message to this effect
was received from 1-ondon yesterday morn
ing by Isaac ptncus & Sons, of Tacoma.
The English growers demanded of their
government the imposition of a duty of 40s
per cwt. on all foreign hops imported. This
would be equal to about 8 cents a pound.
They based their claim on the fact that
America, being able to produce hops cheap
er than England, was flooding that country
with Its surplus stock and slowly but surely
driving the English hopgrowers out of busi
ness. . It Is a fact that America has been
sending its surplus to England, as the
only available market and it Is also a fact
that America can produce hops cheaper
than England can. It is likewise true that
the English hop industry is declining for
these reasons, the reduction in hop acreage
In the past year having been fully 4500
acres, and the total acreage In . England
now Is not much over 40,000 acres.
The hopgrowers of England have been
agitating this question of a protective duty
for several years; in fact, in every bad mar
ket year the question has been brought up
prominently, though less was heard of it
when prices were good. Conditions were ripe
for a renewal of the agitation last Fall at
the time an effort was made to unite the
Pacific Coast growers. One of the purposes
of the Pacific Coast Union was to export a
large block of hops annually so as to pro
duce a shortage in this country and at the
same time expedite the withdrawal of the
English from the hopgrowlng business.
Nothing came of the Union on the pacific
Coast, but the. alarm on the other side of
the water was great. Indignation meetings
were held in all the English hop districts
and loud calls were made upon the govern
ment for relief. The movement culminated
In a great demonstration in London a few
weeks ago when 50.000 hopgrowers, pickers
and sympathizers assembled In Trafalgar
Fqusre and a huge petition for a 40s duty on
foreign hops was presented to parliament.
Proof of the determination of the Pacific
Coast to crush out the English industry was
claimed from the recent heavy shipments of
old American hops to the London market. A
single lot. amounting to 20.000 or 30.000
bales, was dumped in England, and this
was pointed to as evidence. This big block
of 'hops,, however, was the holding of a
single speculator, Paul R. G. Horst, who
plunged heavily in 11.06, principally in Ore
gon hops, and believing that an import duty
was probable, rushed his bops over to Eng
land In order to anticipate the tariff. It is
still believed in some quarters that Horst
lent what aid- he- could in furthering the
agitation, as he might have profited greatly
had the duty been put on.
In the meantime Parliament appointed a
committee to investigate the matter and
report upon it. The committee ha held
sittings several months and heard much tes
timony, and now has made its report.
The findings of the committee occasion
no turprise. The majority of the members
were free traders, one was a brewer and
another a hop-dealer, whose business Is prin
cipally in American hops. It was under
stood by intelligent hop-growers in Eng
land when the committee began Its hearings,
that no hope could be expected from the
government a long as the Liberal party
was in power. Added to the pronounced
views of the Liberals on this question, was
the influence of the English brewers, who,
like the brewers, of every other country,
want to buy their raw materials as cheaply
as possible. 4
A 40s duty In England on American hops
would have been, a serious matter for the
growers of this c)untry. The United States
raises about 300,000 bales annually and con
sumes only two-thirds of them. Were the
English outlet for the surplus closed, home
prices would be on, a ruinous basis until the
American prtduotion could be adjusted to
the consumption In this country. As it is,
the danger has been averted and we .will
end our surplus to England, where the acre
age in hops will oontlnuj to decline.

S ARE WIPED DUT
REALIZING SALES REVERSE THE
MOVEMENT IN STOCK PRICES.
Market Opens Strong and Active,
but a Reaction Soon Develops.
Bonds Are Steady.
NEW YORK. July T. Business was larger
at the Stock Exchange In the two hours be
fore noon than yesterday, even with the
sudden revival in market activity which
marked that period. The expanded volume
of business was done at prices above yes
terday's closing and consequently substantial
advances over the level of last week. It be
came manifest, however, that very material
selling to realise was going on and this had
the effect of carrying prices below last
night's level by noon. The selling, even at
that level, afforded handsome profits to
those who bad bought stocks early yester
day. As the margin of these profits lessened
with tbe reaction In prices, the business fell
away in volume and the price movement be
came sluggish.
The advocates of the upward movement
professed themselves well satisfied with the
action of the market. There was a consid
erable increase in the buying demand at
tracted over night by yesterday's rise, and
this served as a medium for digestion ot
profit-taking sales. The market is admit
tedly largely In professional hands, and It Is
gauged by technical considerations.
Bonds were steady. Total sales, par value,
2,968,000. United States bonds 2s declined

CLOSES AT LOWEST
Wheat Prices Weak All Day at
Chicago.
WEATHER NEWS BEARISH
Selling; Held in Check to Some Ex
tent ny Fear That Government
Report Today May Be
Bullish.
CHICAGO, July 7. The wheat market
opened easy and as trading progressed the
weakness became more pronounced until the
close, which was at the lowest point of the
day. Hedging sales by leading cash In
terests Induced free selling by local longs
and also brought out liberal sales for the
short account. Excellent weather for the
growing crop- In the Northwest and lower
prices at Liverpool were additional bearish in
fluences. The selling, however, was held in
check to some extent by the fear that the
Government report to be issued tomorrow
would be decidedly bullish. The market
closed weak. September opened c to
Sc lower at 8889c, sold off to 87o
and closed at 88c.
General profit-taking by both local and out
side longs caused weakness In the corn mar
ket, despite a strong market at Liverpool.
Wet weather In Iowa and Illinois and the
break In wheat were mainly responsible for
the selling pressure. The greatest loss was
In the July delivery, which declined 2o
from the high point of the day. The mar
ket closed weak at almost the lowest point.
September opened unchanged to c higher
at 7373c, sold off to 72c and closed at
72(Si2c.
Oats were bearlshly affected by the weak
ness of other grains. After a firm opening
the market developed, considerable weakness
and closing prices were at the lowest point
of the day. Heavy rains in Illinois and In
diana helped to weaken the market. Sep
tember opened unchanged to c higher at
42o to 42o and declined to 41c, where
lt closed.
Provisions were firm early in the day
owing to a 6c advance In live hogs, but later
became weak on selling credited to pack
ing Interests. At the close, September pork
was off 12c lardj was down 6c. and ribs
were 6c lower.

FLEET SAILS FOR ORIENT
(Continued from Pass 1.)
tiful picture as they slowly steamed
through the harbor, as when they entered
the Golden Gate two months ago. . As the
Connecticut passed Fort Point, the flag
ship set signals for more speed and the
bows of the warships were soon throwing
up a sea of white foam as they plowed
through the water.
It was 3:10 when the Kentucky, the last
ship in line, passed the lighthouse at the
entrance to the Golden Gate, and half
an hour later the fleet was lost to view
in a dense cloud of black smoke belching
forth from the forest of funnels and the
thick weather which was rolling in from
the sea.
The forenoon was one of busy prepara
tion on the fleet. Launches and cutters
dotted the harbor, flitting from ship to
ship and ship to shore.
Signal Flags Platter.
On the flagship Connecticut signal flags
were constantly flung to the breeze and
the incessant "zip-zip" of the wireless
telegraph communicating with ships and
sending farewell messages to shore
stations, never ceased. Boats were made
fast, orderlies ran to and fro and a few
visitors, newspaper men and relatives and
friends of the officers came aboard to say
a last gooi-bye.
The commanders of the other warships
came aboard the flagship early in the
day to receive their final orders from
Admiral Sperry. . At 11 o'clock Secretary
of the Interior James R. Garfield, who
arrived last night from Honolulu on the
cruiser fit Louis, boarded the Connecti
cut to pay his respects to the Commander-in-chief
of the fleet. He was
given 17 guns, the salute that members
of the President's Cabinet are entitled to,
as he took his leave.
Round Up Stragglers.
On the waterfront patrols of blue
jackets with stout "billies" rounded up a
few belated stragglers from the various
shfps and at 12:05 o'clock the last boat
left shore with mail orderlies.
Early in the day Lieutenant-Commander
Benjamin F. Hutchinson, executive office
of the cruiser St. Louis, was hurriedly
detached from that ship and assigned as
executive officer to the battleship Wis
consin in place of Lieutenant-Commander
Phelps. The latter was ordered to Mare
Island on account of illness. Dr. Koltez,
Junior Burgeon on the Connecticut, and
two surgeons from other ships were tem
porarily transfered this morning to the
Nebraska to assist in treating the scarlet
fever on that ship.
Just before the fleet sailed, Rear
Admiral Sperry received a telegram from
President Roosevelt in which the Presi
dent conveyed to the fleet his heartiest
good wishes upon the eve of its departure.
The fleet auxiliaries preceded the
battleships hy a week, and are now
nearing Honolulu, where they will un
load supplies and sail away for New
Zealand before the arrival of the fleet
at Honolulu. These auxiliaries are the
Panther, repair ship: Glacier, refrig
erator supply ship; Culgoa, supply ship:
Ajax, collier. Relief, hospital ship, and
Tankton. tender and dispatch boat.
