Newspaper Page TextTHE MORNING OREGONIAN. FRIDAY, JULY 31, 190S. i7 OfJ THE OTHER SIDE More Optimistic View of the Hop Outlook. OPINION OF HARRY HART What the Growers Stand to Ixse by Abundoning Their Yards Esti mates of the, English and American Crops. ' Harry L. Hart, of this city, one of the largest hop buyers on the Coast, takes ex ception to the statements made In an inter view printed yesterday morning regarding the hop market outlook. Mr. Hart said: "The estimates given appear to me to be too high. Our correspondents In Eng land place an outside figure on that crop of 400. 000s centals, with indications that it will not exceed 400.000. "Mall advices of today to two Portland dealers reduce the New York crop estimates to 35.000. California cannot harvest over 70.000 bales under most favorable con ditions. . whllfr Oregon's uncultivated and plowed-out acreage will exceed 15 pv cent. Of the acreage that remains, a bisr per centage has been so carelessly cultivated and trained that It will be impossible to se cure pickers to harvest them, owing to the light crop and high weeds in the yards. Even the most conservative estimates do j not look for a crop of over 100.000 bales, ; and this only In case that everything is ; picked. "The Question of . picking will bear a little consideration. A large grower of Oregon has Indicated his Intention of paying $1.20 per hundred. It is al most an assured thing now that .Wash ington ' fwhich will only harvest 15.000 to 17.000 bales, will pick for 75c or at most SOc. California growers are agttatlng an SOc price. If Oregon growers are compelled to pay even $1 per 100 pounds, it will place them in bad shape to compete with the neighboring states, their hops, or those of them that are harvested at all. costing nearly cent per pound more than Cali fornia and Washington hops. In addition to this, it will mean that a certain percent age will not pick at and If prices should advance during or directly after picking time, they will lose the benefit of theli profit and actually lose the 2 or 3 cents per pound that they have paid out for culti vation, training, etc. "The Prohibition movement has gained no strength the past two months in fact, Texas, heretofore one of the most radical states In this regard, recently voted on state-wide prohibition and the measure was defeated derisively. It is more than likely that the 1008 consumption of beer will show a gain over 1007. instead of a losa as an ticipated. "It does hot seem good policy to advocate the abandoning of yards by the growers of this state. The few thousand bales thus lost would In no wise affect the markets of the world, but would simply mean a loss to the growers of this state and hurt Ore-, gon's industry. There ts little to be gained by looking on the dark side of the situation; there Is a 100,000-bale shortage in the Uni ted States this year, a-i compared with the 11)07 yield; this will only be partially made up should England harvest her full crop. With enormous crops last year, growers who sold early, as many did. could have realised 0 to 10 cents, notwithstanding that the two previous crops were large and the late-market prices very low, thus enabling the brewers to stock up' heavily. This brewers' stock" bogy ts a very Intangible argument used by the bears to put the hop grower to sleep. The fact remains that there Is no reason why any commodity should not realise for its producer the cost of production and a nominal profit of 3 to 15 per cent. NOT MUCH WHEAT CHANGING HANDS. But Buyers- Are Offerine eeljr In All 4 Parts of the Country. Offers for wheat are being freely made in the interior en the basis of the local quo tations and tn some Instance higher, but from what can be learned in the grain offices here, the amount of business trans acted has not been large, as farmers are by no means ready sellers, even at the ad vances quoted by some buyers. Not much change was shown in the course of grain prices at the Board of 'Trade. Sep tember wheat opened and closed at the pre vious day's prices and there was no altera tion In December values. September oata were stronger at the close, with $1.17 Va bid and the same price was offered for the December delivery. For September barley $l.li was bid and $1.12 for the later month. Receipts for the day were 11 cara and 2435 sacks wheat.. 1 car and 140 sacks oats. 3000 sacks flour and 2 cars and 250 bales hay. The range of futures was as follows: WHEAT. Open. High. Low. Close. Sept $ .85 $ .811 $ .85 $ .$ Dec S .87 .88 OATS. Sept 1 15 1.17H 117H Deo 1.114 1.171 1.174 1-11 H BARLEY. Sept 1.10 1.10 1.10 1.10 Dec 1.1214 112'i 1.12 1 1.124 DECLINE IN CANTALOUPE PRICES. Five Cara of Watermelons Received First Casahas Appear. The cantaloupe market took a drop yes terday with the arrival of a car. and Stand ards were quoted at $2.50 and ponies at $2. Five cars of watermelons arrived and met a strong demand at the previous day's price. A shipment of casahas was received and they were quoted at $2.73 per doien. A mixed car of peaches and seedless grapes came In. the latter selling at $1.30 to 1.75. The peaches were Elbertas and cleaned up quickly at 90 cents to $1. Other peaches were scarce and In good demand. California Crawford bringing; 8090c and ureson pearhes gotng at 73 cents to $t. Otherwise fruit prices were not changed. An express shipment of sweet potatoes was received and they offered at OH eenta. Three cars of, bananas arrived. WESTERN WOOLS IN THE EAST. . Light Transactions In Oregon and Territory Clips. Mall advices from Boston report a late sale of 10.000 pounds of XXXX scoured Oregon wool on private terms. In grease Oregon wools there have been no further sales of staple. A large amount previously sold from this year's clip has yet to be de livered. Most sales were at 18 to Ittc, and the scoured cost Is estimated at 3S to 0Oc. For territory wools, the Eastern market, though quiet. Is steady and fairly firm for staple descriptions, tne carry-over supply of which is limited. There la no prospect of im provement in clothing "wools of average type. For fine around 43c is the highest scoured basis that can be obtained. Fine staple Is quoted on the basts of 57 to fiSc. not yt having reached 6O0 on actual sales. But that is the goal sought when the de mand Improves. A good trade in half-blood clothing at 17 to 18c In the grease and 43 to 47c clean Is reported. About 50.000 lbs. medium staple sold on the basis cf 52 to 63c Montana wool in the original bags has changed hands at 19 to 50c for clips on the fine side. - Poultry Market Breaks. The poultry market broke yesterday, hena dropping to 12 Si 12 V cents and Springs to 1J.7 cents. Other descriptions were very slow and weak. Egg receipts were 266 cases, but very few extra were available and they sold readily at 25 cents. In the quotation list printed tn this paper eggs will hereafter be graded. The butter and cheese markets were firm without further change. Butter receipts were 8S boxes. Sale of ForeM Grove Hop. The hop market' is very quiet as regards both spot goods, and contracts. The only transaction reported yesterday was the sale of 38 bales of Idols by J. It. Hoffman, of Forest Grove, to H. L. Hart at 4 cents. Bank Clearings.

MARKET IS NEARLY IDLE Selling Pressure Cease3 W hen. Prices Move Downward Coppers Are Strengthened by Rise in Price of Metal. NEW YORK. July 30. The stock market was much neglected today and for a large part of the time was practically idle. Influ ence on this result was attributed to a fuel ing of suspense- of the withheld announce ment of the plan of settlement of the Wheel ing & Lake Erie note maturity. News of he sett lement was expected before noon. but when a further postponement was an nounced all disposition to operate In the market seemed to be lost. The show of strength in the Gould group kept alive a supposition that the forthcoming news would be helpful to values. The reticence of all persons directly connected in the negotia tions, however, and the variety of rumors in circulation as to the probable outcome indicate so much uncertainty that specula tive operators hesitated to commit them selves. Aside from this special cause for a lull in activity, the trading seems to have entered upon one of the usual between periods of hesitation and seeking for new initiative. The cessation of the guying of stocks which has resulted from this state of the market was not followed today by any important selling. When a recession In prices occurred the selling seemed to be sus pended entirely. Professional traders, how ever, had a suspicion that any advance In prices was taken advantage of to distribute stocks. The quietness of the market was believed to be In accord with the desires of important financial interests who are sup posed to deprecate undue speculative excite ment at this season of political activity ana of developments believed to be working out as well In railroad affairs. - - Some influence afterward was caused by the published announcement by the Attorney-General of the intention of the Presi dent to push with renewed vigor aJl cases pending against railroads ror granting re bates or like offenses. There is some appre hension tnat tnia mood of the Government authorities may affect the desire of the rail roads to advance freight rates, of which a benevolent view from the Interstate Com merce Commission was at one time counted on. The copper stocks showed considerable strength. The further rise in the price of the metal helped this movement. There were some reports of damage to Spring wheat from rust, which had some effect on the price of wheat and was an influence on stocks. Last prices of stocks showed some declines from yesterday as a rule, but the nuctuations were so constant and narrow as to leave little significance in the day 'a changes. Bonds were lrrerular. Total sales, uar vaiue, iui,uw. united mates oonas weie unchanged on call. CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS. - Closing aaies. .tnitn. low. Kid.

Salmon Canners Are Doing Better Than Last Year Alaska Fish Is Strong. ASTORIA. Or.. July 80. The fishing season on the Columbia . River has ad vanced to a point that lta mild-cured, or cold atorage. pack, can be estimated with assurance of denniteness. It will be about 3000 tierces short of tne park ol last year. and Its total will be a little over tierces. The cannery pacK to date is 111 advance of last year and with another month to run and promise of good Ashing, the pack is expected to reach proportion that will be able to satisfy the demand. Prices for Alaska fish have not been fixed, but the Eastern buyers are beginning to nibble at $1.20 per dozen and the price will be near that, as. the cannery men are holding out firm, as It Is well known tnat the market is cleaned 'uo of last year's park, or practically so. This will be good news to all the local people interested in Alaska canneries, as the latest reports from the .ortn are to the effect! that th. pacK will be large. SEATTLE EGG MARKET WEAKENS. Shipments From Portland Cut Down the Extreme Price. SEATTLE. Wash., July 30. (Special.) Owing to receipts of fresh eggs from Port land today, due largely to yesterday's ad vance, the market was inclined to be weak here all day. Only a few houses sold their best stock at 31 cents. The old price of 30 cents was almost gerferal. Deaters doubt if the market can be forced much higher for some time. Poultry was scarce today, especially hens, which were In good demand. The tendency Is for a higher market. Eastern car receipts have been light for some time, and the im pression prevails with dealers that the concern that has been handling carlots of Nebraska poultry Is likely to Quit that business soon. Wheat is more active. Millers are good buyers and some grain Is being purchased for export. Receipts of oats have been heavy this week, 12 cars arriving yesterday. Berries were steady today with rasp berries held at $1.50 1.75. There Is a good demand for loganberries, which are scarce. More Eastern Washington cantaloupes ar rived today. Veal is stHl scarce at 11 cents for the best. Dressed hogs are also scarce. Marketing- LewiHton Valley Peaches. LEWISTON, Idaho, July 30. (Special.) The Fruitgrowers of Lewiston Vallcv are now certain that all capacities for handling the peach crop will be taxed to the utmost to care for the crop that will be ready for harvest in the next few weeks, the total of which is placed at from 800 to 1000 car loads. Warned by the lack of facilities In hand ling the cherry crop, the growers of Clark ston today met to form another shippers organization, and will appoint one of their association to go into the market territory and direct the carload movement. Aside from the fact that there are three canneries In this section, the growers are preparing to put tn dryers and handle a large portion of their crops In this manner. QUOTATIONS AT SAX FRANCISCO.
