TUB MORNING OREGON! AN, WEDNESDAY. DECEMBER 9, 1908.
NO HIGHER TARIFF
Congress Not Likely to Raise
Duty on Hops.
KLABER HOME FROM EAST
6ay Legislation In Favor or the In
dustry Is 'ot to lie Kxpwted.
Think Farmers Should Grow
Fewer Hops Sext Tear.
Herman Klaber returned .to rortland yes
trday morning from Washington. D. C.
.here. In company with E. C. Horst, he
tnarte an argument before the ways and
means committee of the House of Repre
sentative for an Increase In the duty on
Imported hops of 12 cents. Tn discussing
the matter. Mr. Klaber said:
The committee did not look favorably
cn the proposition, and It la Hardly prob
pble there will be an advance In the tariff,
even though conditions Justify It. The fact
that we Import lees hops tnan we export
seemed to be the obstacle. We have shown
the committee In supplemented briefs that
In many commodities, auch aa leather, bar-l-y
and others, the export are from 10 to
jooo times greater than the Imports, and
et the tariff on the Importations la greatly
In excess of the duty Imposed on hops.
These briefs will be considered In private
session. Even if any favorable action
should be taken. It will not become effective
tor a year, and therefore the hop Industry
cannot be benefited by It before 1910."
Mr. Klaber was surprised to find that the
market had slumped so badly while be waa
In the East.
"There Is no occasion for these 5-cent
crices," said he. "If the growers were not
In a stampede and throwing their hopa on
the market, things would xm better. Vfm
did what we could to hold the market up.
but the farmers. Instead of using business
Sense, evidently have gone all to pieces. It
proves the old saying that It is easier to
buy a cent under the market on a decline
than two cents above It when the market
Is advancing.
The brewers are not so well supplied
with hops as the people have been led to
believe. A few are stocked up and par
ticular stress has been laid on these Isolated
casrs. Many of them feel .mcertaln as to
the future, because of adverse legislation
and for other reasons, and, like some busi
ness men. in their caution go to extremes.
"If the growers would cut out the 1W9
crop and hold on to their lOOSs they would
be better off. If the t'nlted States next
year only raised say KtO.OUO to 150.000 bales,
the ISs on hand would be a better specu
lation than the ll09s; in other words, they
should follow the example of the tobacco
growers, who have Just won out against t1i
pressure of an enormous tr-sar. T!e tobacco-growers
grew no tobacco this year and
have been enabled to sell tne surplus of
their former crops at good prlcea The hop
growers could do the same thing and profit
by It. but no advice will be taken seriously
by them and they will sutler because of tha
stampede that Is on."
BARLEY GOING TO SAX FRANCISCO
California Draws on Limited Supply and
Prices Are llrmer.
It Is reported that considerable quantities
of barley are being forwarded to San Fran
cisco, and this Is having a stiffening effect
on the local market, as stocks are not
heavy. There was no change In thye quoted
prices yesterday.
Oats were also firm. A sale of 300 tons
of oats was made at the Merchants' Ex
change. The California demand for wheat is less
active than It was. but there was a mod
erate local Inquiry yesterday at the old
prices.

Merchants' 2xchange as follows:

STEADY MOVEMENT IN HOP MARKET
Growers WUUnr to Sell at Currently Offered
Prices.
The prices at which hops are offered for
sale makes the transaction of business a
simpler matter than was the case a short
time ago. Business, therefore, is of good
volume and Is likely to continue so as long
as buyers and sellers keep so close together
In their views.
Among the transactions yesterday waa tha
purchase by H. L. Hart of 4O0 bales, in
cluding 200 secured from W. W. Hostetter.
of Reedvllle. at 6 cents.
MeXeff Bros, bought S4 bales from B. 8.

NEW TORK. Deo, 8. The dimlnlFhing
volume of business and tha narrowing range
of tha price fluctuations are evidence of the
growiag professionalism of the stock market.
Another indication of the same state of af
faire is the short duration of a price move
ment in one direction.
The presentation of the President's annual
message to Congress, being the principal
event of the day, was selxed upon for at
tempted use as a motive power for price
movement. Stocks were bid up on the as
sumption that the effect of the recommenda
tions of the message would be favorable to
values. The substance of the document was
accurately known beforehand In many bro
kers' offices. Its effectiveness as a stimu
lant to new operations In stocks proved to
have been overestimated, as shown by the
decrease In activity of the dealings after its
appearance and the drooping tendency of
prices. In view of the extent of the reitera
tion of views In the message, in many in
stances1 covered by citation of the precedent.
It was not surprising that lack of material
for new speculative decision should be found.
The fact of it being the last annual message
of an outgoing executive also mitigated
against its effectiveness as an Instrument for
speculative ueea.
Satisfaction was caused, however, by the
denunciation of the folly of the effort to pro
hibit all combinations contained in the anti
trust law. but this satisfaction was modified
by the advice to give to some agency of the
Government full power of control and super
vision of such combinations as might be per
mitted. The recommendation to pleoe telegraph and
telephone companies under the Jurisdiction of
the Interstate Commerce Commission con
duced to the weakness In Western Union,
although loss by a fire and expressed doubts
over recent reports of an Intention to ad
vance the dividend rate bad an effect on that
atock.
Harriman stocks were the sustaining fea
ture of the market and Erie was included in
the group in the same manner as was the
Gould group. An instance of .the kind of
assumptions of financial agreements on which
stress was laid was the impression created
by the announcement of the National City
Bank that its successful bid for a block of
Panama Canal bonds was on behalf of J. P.
Morgan. & Co. and the First National Bank,
as well as for itself.
Bonds were steady. Total sales, par value,
$5,370,000. United Statea 4s, coupon, ad
vanced 14 per cent on call.

MONTANA HAY OFFERING
SEATTLE MARKET IS OVER
STOCKED AND WEAK.
Another Shipment of Japanese Or
anges Put on -Sale Eggs
and Butter Firmer.
SEATTLE, Wash., Dec. 8. (Special.)
The market is overstocked with hay. Mon
tana shippers are consigning large quan
tities of good hay to brokers in this city
who are keeping the market down. The
letting of the Government contract for 9000
tons of hay to a dealer here Is not ex
pected to have any material effect on tne
market, owing to the fact that the hay has
already been purchased. It is estimated th
Montana has a surplus of 20.000 tons that
will likely be sold on the Coast before the
next crop. Oats are steady to Arm, selling
from (32.50 to $34.
Another shipment of 1000 cases of Jap
anese oranges reached here today. Owing
to the shortage of ripe oranges for the
holiday trade, dealers lodk for an active
demand for the Japanese oranges during
the next few weeks. A car of navels
reached here today, but was all sold
before noon. Top navels bring as high as
53.35. Grapes were a drug on the market.
Stock that dealers held for $1.75 yesterday
would not move at any price.
There was but one house on the street
that asked more than 60 cents for eggs to
dav. Receipts are very much heavier. The
butter market is a little firmer. Reports
from the country are that the cream sup
ply is shrinking.

LOSS IS fiEGOVERED
Wheat Breaks Badly at Chi
cago, but Rallies.
SALES CAUSE EARLY DROP
Upturn Aided by Small Receipts In
the Xorthwest Favorable Har
vesting Weather Reported
From Argentina.
CHICAGO. Dec. 8. Following a mod
erately firm opening, due to covering by
shorts and buying by bull leaders, the
wheat market developed decided weakness
toward the end of the first hour, owing to
renewed selling based on the bearish show
ing of the Government report. Before the de
cline was checked, prices had dropped 134 c
to 2c from the high point of the day. The
selling was apparently overdone, and when
leading holders began to buy again, prices
readily rebounded to almost their former
position. The upturn was aided by small
receipts In the Northwest and by an In
crease of 1.052,000 bushels In the world's
visible supply. Cables were weak and the
weather In Argentina was reported favorable
for harvesting. Prices at the close were
H 14 c higher to 4e lower, the December
delivery being relatively the weakest month.
Final quotations on December were at
$1.03 and on May $1.08 a 1.09.
Liquidation of the December delivery,
which carried the price of that option down
more than lc and weakened the market in
general, was the feature of trade In the corn
pit. The market closed steady, with De
cember at 69 59 o and May at 62 c.
Tbe severe slump In wheat caused moderate
weakness in oats early, but a substantial
rally occurred later. The market closed
strong, December at 6014c and May 62?4c.
Provisions were quiet and steady, closing
2Hc higher to 2Hc lower.
The leading futures ranged as follows:

HAS TWO BILLS TO OFFER
Senator Abraham Would Nonsuit
Provision of Present Statute.
ROSEBURG, Or., Dec. 8. (Special.)
Among the bills that will be Introduced
at the coming session of the Legisla
ture ncill be two by Senator-elect Al
bert Abraham, of this city, pertaining
to matters concerning the legal profes
sion. The first measure proposes to
do awav with involuntary nonsuit and
motion to direct verdict, and preserv
ing the substance of such practice after
a verdict.
The purpose of such a change would
be to avoid the unnecessary expense of
resubmitting the case to another jury,
should the ruling of the trial court be
reversed, and the further purpose of
avoiding the possible effect upon the
jury in uny intimation of opinion by
the judge as to the facts upon over
ruling such motions. Under the pro
posed law a judge will not have the
right to instruct a jury to bring in any
certain verdict, but, on the other hand,
the evidence must be submitted to the
jurv, who will determine as to whether
declaring a nonsuit or otnerwise. nuw
ever, the judge may reverse the opinion
of the jury. Mr. Abraham claims this
proponed law, if passed, will operate in
favor of the poor man.
The second bill which Abraham will
submit, will have to do with the care
less shooting and killing of companions
and others by hunters. The law pro
vides for the punishment of persons
under the charge of criminal careless
ness, but no one is ever posecuted for
the many so-called accidents. Mr.
Abraham's proposed measure is des
tined to provide a specific charge for
cases of this nature.

tray cattle have been kept within the
melosure, but for a time they may roam
the streets at their own sweet will, for
what is the use of impounding them?
The fences and buildings of the pound
are gone, no one knows where. The city
detectives are unable to provide a clerw
to the mystery, for the rain has obliter
ated all traces. As if it were not enough
to lose the buildings and fences, even
more has bappened. John K. Clark,
president and manager of the Clackamas

ward today with a deed to the property
where the pound was located, and the
city will have to search for other quar
ters or allow stock to run at large.
