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

Stock Market Preparing for
Another Lift.
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.

eggs and cheese will be made to Alaska on
. . - , . ,..(,- in the next two or three
days. The shipments are for Yukon .River
points and Dawson. 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.

TOO MUCH OFFERED
Chicago Wheat Market Be

BIG MOVEMENT EXPECTED
Tone Is Easy From Start to Finish.
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.
Provisions were firm early In the day. but
weakened, owing to the break In corn and
wheat. At the close pork waa unchanged
