The large deficiency of America III be made up by the Increased out-turn -f England and the Continent of Rurope. Stocks of last year's crop are en tirely cleane-1 up In Bohemia and are also Tery mill In other countries, except Amer ica, in dealers' as well as in brewer' a hand. The requirements for the coming campaign witl be larger, as the production and con- sumi'ium of ber are on the Increase. The Gam br in us statistics, on basts of the beer prduciion of the world, figure the require ment cf hops at 1.323.800 bales, but this may be rather high; according- to my estimate the requirement will certainly be not less than UinfO bales.: Therefore. I arrive at the following conclusion for 19"S:" Pales.

Herman Klaber returned from Salem yes terday where lie went to see Oem Horst's hop-picklrg machine In action. Mr. Klaber says the machine Is alt that is claimed for It. It will pick bops, and successfully, too, "If this machine Is not In universal use next year." aald he. lt certainly rm ill bs two years from now." The market yesterday was Inactive. Talngs are in a rather expectant mood and It would not surprise the trade if there were developments any day now. Growers, the few that still have hops for eale, are very firm in their views. Keporta from Eu gene are that only four crops remain un sold in Lane County. In Carlton there are nly to crops left In first hands and in ether sections of the state the bulk of the new hope eere contracted for. Receipts ef Produce.

The butter market Is lightly supplied and very firm In tone. A Guam Importer has written to a local creamery man for prices on car of Oregon butter for shipment to the island. Fgie were scarce and In strong demand, wirb. most sales of candled stock at 3232Vs cents. Poultry receipts were large and as buyers were more or less lsdifTerent. the market was weak. Rice Market Proupcds. The rice market noids fairly steady, with nothing belrg offered from the South ex cept head rice. Mills will beln operations on Japan seed rice next week and when this etd on the market there may be a softenlng" of values. Bains in Louisiana have delayed the harvest and kept bsek the milling of new rice. Flow rrtcea May Advance There 1 prospect of an advance In local fkwr prices la the near future. The Puget Bound mills raised their quotations 10 cents a barrel early la the week and prices here will doubtless make a etmllar advance. Advance In Buckwheat. A sharp advance In buckwheat prices waa announced yesterday as a result of the short Eastern crop. Local grade are 50 cents and Eaetem 73 cents a hundred bifher than last ere vox's quotations.

TRADE ON A SMALL SCALE Money Market 'ot Affected by the Quarterly Settlements Chlcagrj & Alton Duplicates Order for 1000 Cars. KEtV YORK. Sept. SO. The stock mar ket today gave evidence that It has passed through all the usual counter fluctuations which follow th. culmination of a spec ulative movement of any duration. Prices were practically motionless and such slight mobility as was shown was due entirely to the shifting efforts of a class of small room traders. There were no large opera tion, perceptible and no signs of any out side Interest In the market. The opera tors responsible for the firmer speculative activity were passive or contined themselves to protective measures against any effort to deprees prices. The extraordinary abundance of the money supply was signalized by the easy rates for call loans on the eve of the quar terly settlements, which call for something like $150,000,000. Today's rates of li4 to 2 per cent on call have not been equaled In the first week of October since 1S04. A recent order for 1U00 freight ears placed by the Chicago & Alton was re ported to have been duplicated by the ex ercise of an option secured when the first order was placed. This report was made the occasion for advancing the shares of that company and of a number of other small railroad companies in the Middle West dominated by the same interests. The Goulds were affected by a revival of Harri man control rumors. Canadian Pacific re sponded to assertions that Its strike !iad been called oft. The price cf copper was higher In London. It was such factors which furnished motive power for a small swing of prices Bonds were firm. Total sales, par value, $2,134,000. United States 2s registered ad vanced H and the 4s coupon while the 2s coupon declined H on call. CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS. Closing Sales. High. Low. Bid.

Tre unloading of so much Inferior live stock on this market is beginning to tell on prices. The tendency yesterday was de cldedlv weak for this reason, and It Is prob able that quotations will have to be lowered unless a better quality of stock I. delivered here. There la a good demand for prime fat stock, but the large proportion of poor, ha'.f-fed stuff arriving has a depressing In fluence on the market In general. The re ceipts yesterday were 12o cattle. 50 hogs. 250 lambs and IO calve. J H. Dobbin and Falconer Brothers, ac cording to the Wallowa Nev-P.ecord. have sold turir 8-K lambs to B. F.

PORTLAND, Septr SO. (To the Editor.) On the topic: "Shall the Constitution Be Obeyed?'1 Judg-e George had a com munication in last Friday's Oregonian, to which I wish to reoly. I am sure Judge George overestimates the power and scope of the constitution in the affairs of the Legislatures of the states, and underestimates the rights and privileges of these Legislatures. The United States Constitution says: "The Senate shall be composed of two Senators from each state, chosen by the Legislatures thereof." Congressional law fixes the detail. This detail does not and cannot take away from the Legislatures of the states the right to ask and take Ladd & Tilton Bank PORTLAND, OREGON Established 1859. Oldest Bank on the Pacific Coast.

The- members of the Legislature are our agents and servants, and the Constitution has no claim on them except to outline the de tail of the choosing. The Senators chosen are our represen tatives, and not those of the Legislature end our right to advise and instruct the Legislature in this matter cannot be abridged, cannot be alienated. The Legis lators are our servants. The servant can't be greater than his master and no constitution can confer such privileges upon him. The servant must always be subject to the commands and instructions of hi3 master and no constitution can make it otherwise. The people of Oregon have a right to instruct their servants to vote for any one they wish to have made United States Senator. No one pretends that the vote of the people elects a United States Senator. It is simply an instruc tion to their servants, to send to the Senate the man that suits them best. As servants, they may obey instructions, or disobey, hut In case of disobedience they must share the fate of all servants who disobey their masters. A servant mav legally pledge himself to obey the wlBhes of his master, though Judge George says no. . Judge George's interpretation of the Constitution would make the Legisla tures of the states an integral part of the general Government, not to be inter fered with or Instructed as to the wants of the people. Nothing can be further from the facts. There is no provision in the Constitu tion to compel Oregon to have a Legisla ture or to send a senator to repraem her at all. This she has failed to do once or twice and no military force has been sent to coerce her. No, Judge George, Oregon has adopted the honest way to express the Prefer ences of the people for United States Senator so that every man's say and choice can be recorded at the ballot-box. Hitherto, railroad and other corporations have been Instructing our Lesislators as to the men whom they want for Sena tors and "the people be d d.' This is now being changed. Hence the kick. Judge George also refers to the legis lation of Democrats as Republicans, to foist an unwelcome candidate on the party. This was bad, of course. The Oregonlan about a week ago quite ex tensively showed the thing up, but it In advertently omitted some of the facts. In Clatsop County nearly the entire Democratic party registered as Repub licans and voted for Senator Fulton at the primaries. To what extent that was done throughout the state is not known, or what proportion of those exposed at Portland, voted for Senator Fulton Is not known. It seems that the Democrats having nothing to do on their side of the house, timidly did what they could for the winning factions on both sides among their neighbors. The split in the Republican party, over initiative and referendum and the pri mary law, was the cause of the reforms The candidate in favor of these reforms got the vote. To get even the Repub licans voted for a Democrat for the tint ed States Senate. It was clearly evident that selfish factional interests stood high er than party principle. It once was dif ferent. Fifty-two years ago, my first vote was oast for John C. Fremont, and for 40 years I afterwards voted for men that were morally and otherwise unsound, be cause they stood for the principles of the party, rather than vote for much better men, with political views that I deemed unsound. The party was held together. It is useless for parties to "kick. Re forms are here to stay, and the party or parties that attempts to block the way will be consigned to the poirtlcal bone yard The Republicans from choice in structed the Legislature to vote for a Democrat for the United States Senate instead of one of their own party. They have no "kick" coming, nave no HAMPTON SMITH. Steamship Rams Schooner. SE ATT LEX Wash.. Sept. 30. "While run ning at a good speed through a heavy fog, the steamship Prinoess Victoria, of the Canadian Pacific crashed into the gasoline fishing schooner Ida May, of Tacoma, at 9:30 o'clock this morning, off Norwegian Point, about 18 miles north df Seattle. Her bow cut into the May, just missing the forecastle, where some of the crew were asleep. Holding the little schooner on her stem, the Victoria beached her and sent the crew to this city on the steamship Lode. The May was returning from a halibut fishing cruise off the banks at ape Flattery, and had about SO.000 pounds of fish aboard. The Victoria was uninjured and proceededto Vancouver.
