BOYCOTT HOPS Brewers Will Discriminate Against Dry Counties. WHAT THEY TELL HEYSE Will Not Accept Any Oregons This Tear That Are Grown in Prohi bition Sections Juie Plncus' Estimate. Hugo Heyse. ft hop merchant of Minne apolis, who la now trr thi city. says the Eastern brewers will not buy Oregon hops thla year which hava been grown In prohi bition countlea Mr. Hey la large hand ler of Oregon hopa and la here on hla an nual business trip. He aald yesterday: "Because of the Inroads made In their trade by the prohibition movement, the brewera In the East are at present over stocked with hops and It Is Impossible to Interest them In new business. There la no doubt that prices will be low In the coming season for thla reason. I do not think the market will open above 8 cents, but It Is possible that after the Presidential election la over prices may go a little higher, es peclally If there la any change In the pro hibition movement. Eaetern brewers have Informed me that when they place their orders for Oregon hops this Fall, it will be specified In the orders that they will accept none that have been grown In countlea that voted dry. They are fully posted on conditions here and know Just how each county voted. It will be Impossible for the dealers to fool them, as the bills of lading will ahow where the hops were grown. Should the dealer himself bring them here and bill them from Port land, the extra half-cent local freight will have to come out of the grower. This is how the brewera will retaliate against Ore gon for what it haa done In the prohibition line. "My Investigation here lead me to be lieve the Oregon crop will not be under 100.000 bales. As there are 5000 bales of 160TS and 5000 bales of 1906s unsold, I do not see how high prices can be looked for when we take Into consideration the over loaded condition of the brewers. "Hop dealers In the old country are offer ing Bohemian hops laid down In Uie Ameri can breweries at 30 cent.. This means a net price to the Bohemlsn grower of 10 cents." Lata Crop," gays Julius Plnena. Juliua Plncus. formerly of the firm of Lacbmund & Plncus, came down from Salem yesterday. Mr. Plncus Intends to re tain an office In Salem during the remainder of the year. I think a fair estimate of the Oregon crop." he said. "Is from 80.000 to 90.000 baits, but It may not go over 70.000. At any rate It will be a very late crop. Only about 30 per cent of the vines have hopped out and the rest are In the bloom yet. As It usually takes six weeks from the time the hops are ra bloom until they are ready to pick, this will bring the picking season late In September, which Is alwaya a dangerous time. Growers say they have not seen such a condition in 20 years. "California estlmatea have been cut down to 70.000 bales because of the excessively hot weather and my correspondents there tell me that 10,000 bales will not be har vested because the poorer growers cannot get 'he money. Reliable advices from Wash ington say the previous estimates ot 15.000 to 17.000 bales were too high and the state will do well if it produces 10.000 balea. "I believe the Oregon market will open at from S to 10 cents." WHEAT BUYING OX SMALL SCALE. Exporters Are in the Market, but Farmers Are Bullish. Not much wheat Is changing hands In the Interior, according to all reports re ceived. Exporters are offering on the basis of 88 cents for club and 2 cents for blue stem, and a few lota have been sold at these prices, but the general disposition of the farmers is to hold. Prices were more or less nominal at the Board of Trade, wheat and. barley bids be ing at Saturday's figures. Oats were firmer with $12.1 offered for September and 1.32 for December. Receipts for 48 hours, as posted, show a heavy Increase In the wheat movement, the arrivals being as follows: Wheat. 99 cars and 1335 aacks: oata. 495 sacks; barley, 16 ears; rolled barley. 1 car; hay, 11 cars and 3S6 bales.

Eggs continue firm with a strong demand for strictly fresh stock.' which at this time of year is naturally scarce. Extras were quoted at 2S and 2oi cents yesterday. For other grades the demand waa slow. Re ceipts for the two days were 248 casea Poultry arrivals were small and the mar ket nominal.

HARRIMAN LINES' SHOWING Irregular Movement of Prices Dur ing Day Smelting and Reading Lead In Late Rise Bonds Are Very Weak. NEW YORK. Aug. 17 Irregularity was the moot conspicuous; feature of today's stock market. Prices rose and fell alternately, mostly within ft narrow range, although some of the more active features registered substantial gains at the opening. The trading bore evidence of bear pressure and general professionalism, although close observers ex pressed the opinion that stocks are gradually passing Into stronger hands. This belief appears lo be based largely upon the opera tion of certain prominent banking and bro kerage houeea as well aa on the continued ease of money, further prospects of good crops and advices from the leading railroad center, which almost uniformly report Indi cations of awakening buslnesa At the moment, however. It cannot be said that traffic is more than holding Its own. but the trunk line are well supplied with care and making ready for the prospective improve ment. , Quite the most lmportsnt development or the day In railroad circles was the publica tion of the annual report of the Harriman lines for the fiscal year. The Union Pacific evstem showed a net lose compared with the prevloue year of about $2,170,000, while the Southern Pacific Railway reported a net de crease for the same period of $8,363,000. In both instances, however, the falling off was largely due to Increased taxes, that Item in the Union Pacific statement being 17.95 per cent greater than in 1906-7, and the South ern Pacific 36.56 greater. Both llnee show material gains In net earnings. The pessimis tic utterances of the Rock Island-Frisco sys tem, dealing with general railroad conditions. In which the statement was made that 400. 0O men are out of employment, excited some Interest, but did not have ft serious effect. e Ae ft whole the coalers held comparatively firm, though Reading was frequently under pressure. Smelting led the Industrial stocks, making a sharp recovery from Saturday's loss, and the coppers moved in sympathy, de spite another cut In the price of the metal. The declaration of ft 6 per Cent dividend, presumably for the quarter, by the Standard Oil Company of New Jersey, In place of a previous disbursement of $9. was the only noteworthy feature of the outside market. The vagaries of a well-known market manip ulator from New England caused some un easiness in conservative quarters, but else where they were the subject of good-natured ridicule. Much the greater part of the day's business was done early in the session, trading be coming very restricted, while the list de veloped a heavy undertone. In the last half hour, under the lead of Smelting and Read ing, the market grew strong and the closing was active at the day's best prices. The general bond market was easy. Total galea, par value. $1,134,000. Government bonds were unchanged on call. CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS Closing Sales. High.

One oroer ior i cases of eggs and 400 barrels of butter waa turned down by two houses, owing .u had so much other IB .'.. ...w business they could not get the shipment ready in time for tne coats. Eggs were selling almost' everywhere to day at 33 cents. . . A. car of live Eastern stock . that arrived here Saturday night had no effect on today's market. , . The general impression union cu slon men Is that better prices will be ob tslned on fruits of all kinds than were ex pected earlier in the season. California peaches hive about disappeared from the market. Three cars of watermelons ar rlvd today Cantaloupes are scarce: Restau rants an hotels are getting the bulk of the choice fruit. Wheat Is dull and lower at 80 cents for bluestem. Spirited bidding Is reported from points In the Interior, although buying of thia kind Is not general. Wheat receipts here today were 14 cars, the largest of the season. The first ship to be loaded here is due September 1, and the grain Is being placed in the Gnat Northern elevator at present. Buying now is principally by the millers, who are trying to get as much flour shipped as possible before the high flour rates to the Orient become operative. QUOTATIONS. AT SAX FRANCISCO.

Weakness at Minneapolis and Duluth Corn Is Weak and Oats Firm. v CHICAGO, Aug. IT With lttbI weather for harvesting, the belief that the Northwestern movement will be early and heavy took a stronger hold on many wheat traders on the local exchange and they eagerly took profits or sold for short ac count. The offerings were too much for the market without any great amoun ' ut' slde speculative support and cnse2u1""; a decidedly heavier feeling prevailed from start to finish. At the low point prices were from.11, to 14c below the best of the dav. Exteme weakness ot the Minneapolis and Duluth markets, which apparently con firmed the good crop reports, gave addi tional impetus to the declining "''l8 here. There was a moderate rally from the low point, but the close was weak Septem ber opened 4 4c lower to a shade higher at 924 93 4 c declined to 914 c and closed "ideiV'weether generally for corn efussd free selling of that cereal at the start and resulted in a moderate decline. The slump In wheat also Inspired some selling, but a number of damage reports from Central and Southern Illinois anu n""' " i, to offset this Influence. The close was wmk. September opened 4?4c lower at 754 754c. sold between 754c and 754c nd closed at 75 4 c. i,h Oats opened easy in sympathy with wheat and corn, but later the market rallied on a. good shipping demand. The market closed firm. September opened 4 9 4c to 44c lower at 45445C advanced to 46 4 c and closed at 46 4 c.
