THE MORNING OREGOXIAX. FRIDAY, EEBRUARY 5, 1909,
THROWN ON MARKET
Paul Horst Lets Go of His
Big Stock of Old Hops.
OFFERED AT 21 SHILLINGS
Closing Up of the Biggest Specula
tive Deal Ever Undertaken in
the History of the Trade.
Plnous' Prediction.
A reminder of the big bull speculation in
Imps three years ago. when Paul R- G.
Horst tried to sorner the Oregon supply. Is
found In the following letter by Hcrst to
English brewers, which baa been published
ky some of the English hop papers:
Are you open to buy choice Oregons at
21s. cwt-T We have a large quantity of tne
finest Oreron hops of the 11)07 and 19tm
erops In London warehouses that are In
Derfect condition and which we are In
structed to clear quickly' at best "Ynarket
price. The owners of the hops have .large
Quantities still In America which they are
tinabie to dispose of to United States brew
ers, who are very fully stocked, and must
hip to England In order to dispose of them.
We, therefore, wish to clear as much of
the stock that is now here as we possibly
can In order to make room for them. The
last two steamers bringing hop's to Iaondon
carried a total of about 8000 bales, and our
advices are that probably about lx.iXM
bales altogether will come from America
this year. Because of these conditions we
can offer yon very low prices for choice
hops and trust you will let us submit sam
ples.
Horst's holdings of "olds" fn London are
aid to amount to 33.000 bales, and It Is
reported he still has 12.000 bales In this
country. The price at which he offers
them In London is equivalent to 4 cents.
This represents about what It cost to move
them to London and carry them thore.
leaving the original price, which was from
30 to 20 cents in Oregon, a complete loss.
The throwing of this big Mock of hops
on the- market and the assertion that more
are' to follow have caused a renewal of the
feeling In the English hop world against
the "dumping" of American hops. As a
proof, of this, the English papers cite a
letter by Isaac Flneus & Sons, of Tacoma,
dp ted December 23 and printed In the lat
est Issue of the English Brewers' Journal,
which says In part:
Within the last SO days thousands of
rales have been taken by exporters, who
have serured these on consignment and
otherwise, and are rushing the hops to
England with tho h.'pe that English brewers
wfll be compelled to buy heavily of Pacifies
In January and I ' ruary.
Most of the c insignuients have been se
cured on the theory that there will be a
irons demand within the next 30 or 00
days from British brewers, and these hops
will command much higher prices than can
be obtained here. Of course, should he
expected demand from brewers not mater
ialize, these hops will probably have to be
slauchtered later In the season.
Indications today are that the exports
of the present crop to England will break
all previous records. The English market
will certainly be flooded with Pacifies,
which should begin to arrive during the
latter part of January and continue through
at least February and March.
The Tacoma firm concludes its letter by
predicting an American crop' In 1909 of
from 270.000 to 280,000 bales and says:
"While the present ranee of values seem
exceptionally low. It Is the general opinion
Iters that prices will be much lower in the
Spring unless, of course. England should
get In the market for large blocks of Pa
cifies and force ralues higher. Tbere Is no
clanger of this market being affected by
demand from American brewers. Many
keen observers of the market In this coun
try predict 8 cents and 4 cents prices In
March for good grade Pacifies and scarcely
anyone Is bold enough to forecast higher
gtices than prevail today."

rendition of the London Market For Ore
gon Apples.
The latest circular of W. Dennis A Sons,
of London, says:
"We regret that we are unable to give
you any more favorable report upon the
apple situation here than our last advices
contained. For some time past our market
has been very heavily supplied with Hood
River fruit, which buyers have been able
to purchase at from 7s to 9s 6d per box
tulte freely, and. In point of quality, it Is
the best on the market
"Any substantial Improvement In trade,
which we are h"plng for. Is very slow In
showing Itself, and while we should be only
too glad to give shippers encouragement, we
feel that It Is better for them to know the
exact state of affairs as we find them than
to be too optimistic Prices this week for
Rogue Klver fruit ranged from 7s to 8s 6d
per box."
CALIFORNIA PROnrCE WILL BE SHORT
Shipments Delayed by Washouts Down the
Une.
Another famine In fresh California pro
duce Is Imminent because of washouts down
the line. It Is not known how many cars
for Portland are stalled, but there are sev
eral cars of oranges among them.
The railroad trouble has also checked
operations In the potato market. Potatoes,
however, are firmer at this end In response
to the better returns made on recent ship
ments to California.
A mixed car of vegetables that was re
ceived yesterday contained the first Los
Angelee cabbages of the season. It was of
fine quality and sold at S' cents.
Hap Trade I Quirt.
The hop market has been a very dull af
fair since the opening of the month. The
only business reported hss been between
dealers, and tbta has not been extensive.
Very fw Eastern orders are reported in the
market.
Futnre ef the F-gg Market.
Egg declined again yesterday, most of
the business on the street being done at
4S to cenra Some dealers look for a
eonthnied drop, though It Is possible the
market may become steadier because of the
working off of the surplus of California and
Eastern stock. This will depend, however,
on the receipts of local eggs.
There was a good poultry market at un
changed prices.
Butter and cheese were active at the
former quotations.

PRICE CHANGES NARROW
fcteel Not Affected by Keports of
I'oor Conditions in the Metal
Grade Copper Industrials Go
Lower Call Money Firm.
NEW" TORK. Feb. 4. The professional
limitations of the current etock market re
strict the swing of prices to a comparatively
narrow range. The difficulty of carrying
an advance .further was becoming manliest
before operations were concluded yesterday
and the reaction natural under the cir
cumstances followed today. These trivial
fluctuations do not represent any significant
change of opinions on values from day to
day. The professional element carries op
erations as far as they dare in one direc
tion with a purpose to test the market and
learn what results they may force by this
process.
The offering down of prices by bear op
erators does not appear to dislodge any
considerable amount of liquidation and the
bears rind themselves obliged to buy In
stocks to cover. A bidding up of prices, on
the other hand, attracts no notable fol
lowing, such as is stimulated by such a
movement at times when the speculative
spirit Is alert. The condition underlying
the market Is clearly one of neglect and of
waiting for clearer light on the situation.
The Investment demand for bonds continues
excellent.
Call loans did not fall below 2 per cent
today and the maximum rose to 3 per cent,
which makes the record for the new year.
The renewed call of the Secretary of the
Treasury upon the-depositary bankB for the
return of another $30,000,000 of Government
funds by February 28, offered the ostensible
reason for the lessened Inclination of lenders
to accept bids recently prevailing for loans.
There was some increase of demand on the
part of the borrowers as well. With the
effect of this hardening of money rates
transferred to the foreign exchange mar
ket, foreigners have shown Increased dis
position to sell stocks In New York.
Consolidated Gas exerted a depressing In
fluence by a drop which established a new
low price for the stock, seemingly prompted
by the determination of the company to
make a year s trial of the SO-cent gas law,
without further effort to contest It In liti
gation. " '
The suspicion and distrust with which
yesterday's allegations of improvement In
the copper trade were received resulted In
a decline in the copper Industrials. Tho
price'of the metal was reduced again here
and in London.
The uncheerful view of the iron and steel
trade confirmed the feeling of dissatisfac
tion with metal trade conditions and affect
ed sentiment toward values In general,
although with no special effect on the steel
Industrials. The cheaper railroad stocks
again supplied the sustaining points In the
market on "deal" rumors, the Gould group
being conspicuous. There was some growth
in the influence on the general list of these
special points of strength in the course of
the day.
Bonds were Irregular. Total sales, par

SEATTLE, Wash.. Feb. 4. (Special.)
Eggs were weak today, fresh selling as low
as 46 cents. Local receipts are much heav
ier, but are quickly absorbed by city gro
cers. Dealers here do not look for shippers
to hold stocks.
The poultry market was active and firm.
Good hens sold as high as 16 cents, or at
about a par with Springs. Owing to the
fact that no live Eastern poulfv has been
brought In all Winter local shippers are
hardly able to meet requirements.
Cheese men look for higher prices the
first of next week.
Oranges are weak, receipts are heavy and
the demand only nominal. Thirteen cars of
bananas arrived today, but only five were
retained. The others were sent on to "Van

Advance at Chicago.
STRONG AT THE OPENING
Active Buylnglby EleYator Interests
iStarts the Rise Prof it-Taking
Causes a Reaction at
the Close.
CHICAGO, Feb. 4. The feature of trade
In the wheat pit was the active buying by
a leading elevator Interest during the first
hour of the day. The demand brought out
free covering by shorts -vi-hlch caused prices
to advance to the highest point reached
since the first part of December, when the
May delivery touched (1.11. The high point
today was recorded at (1.104. During the
last naif of the day tbere seemed to be
considerable Inclination on the part of
leading longs to take profits and this caused
an easier feeling. After ranging between
(1.084 and (1.10. May Delivery closed at
(1.08 tg. Final quotations on July were at
88 V4 a OS 14c.
The bulge In wheat created moderate
firmness In the corn market early In the
day. but later an easier tone . developed.
Cash houses were leading sellers during the
last half of the day. A decline of 14 c in
the price of the cash grain had a tendency
to weaken options, as did also the con
tinued absence of any export demand. The
market closed easy with prices 14 to c
lower than the previous close. May closed
at 63 c. and July at 6314 c.
Trade In the oats pit was extremely light
all day and the market was rather weak
the entire session. A slack demand from
Eastern shippers was largely responsible
for the weakness, although talk of Argen
tine oats being Imported to this country had
some effect. At the close prices were a
Shade to v,i!Sc lower with May at 62c
and July at 461440C.
Profit-taking sales by the leading longs
and some selling by local packers caused
weakness, in provisions .throughout the
greater part of the day. At tho close prices
were 5714c higher to 15(ffll714c lower.

DECLARES BRIDGE IS SAFE
EXGIXEER HICHMOXO MAKES
EXHAUSTIVE REPORT.
Portland Railway, Light & Power
Co. AVant9 Traffic Resumed Over
the Condemned Structure.
That the Madison-street bridge can be
made perfeatly safe for traffic of all
kinds with the expenditure of from $.00
to $L000 for new piling supports to take
the place of those washed away, is the
belief of Chief Engineer A. H. Rich
mond, of the Portland Railway, Light &
Power Company, who has just submitted
a" report on the matter to President Ben
age a Josselyn, of the traction corpor
ation. The results of this investigation
will be submitted to the county authori
ties. Mr. Richmond's report follows:
Bridge Report In Full.
In order to thoroughly understand the pres
ent condition of this structure, I might state
that this bridge was first built in 1S02. The
superstructure of the bridge was Tebuilt In
1SD0 and 1900. At this time the bridge con
sisted of seven fixed spans and the draw
span. In 1002 the two east spans ware
burned. The first span was replaced by a
trestle and the second span replaced by tne
present span, which now constitutes the first
or most easterly span of the present bridge,
which consequently consists of five fixed spans
east of the draw, the draw span and one
fixed span on the west approach of the draw.
Considering the bridge as beginning on the
east side of the river and numbering the
spans consecutively, we have the tirst span,
rebuilt In 19(i2. which Is In good condition
both as to the superstructure and substruc
ture. The entire bridge was redecked In
1905. At this timR all new stringers were
put under the O. W. P. Railway Company's
rails, except under the first span on the eat
end of the brldfge. These stringers over
the entire bridge are ln excellent condition
at this time.
Span No. 2 Is In the worst condition. In
my estimation, of any of the different spans.
Including the draw. The lower chords of the
bridge are packed chords consisting of three
leaves each 8xlB. Our bridge superintend
ent bao been keeping close watch on this
span at the several chord points, ss lt was
discovered last Spring that at several Of
these points the chords showed a tendency
to part. At this time the matter was taken
up with the County Court and the pile bents
that are now under the bridge were driven
at each second panel point. In order to over
come the possibility of a chord parting on
this span. We did not think It was abso
lutely necessary at this time to drive this
false work under the balance of the spans,
but as an extra precautionary measure It
was done.
During the recent high water a large
amount of drift collected on tho Bouth side
of span No. 2 and the pier between spans
Nos 2 and 3. to such an extent that It has
rauced this pier to lean slightly to the north,
the bridge being out of Une at this point
prohablv six Inches. It Is my opinion that
when this drift Is taken away this pier will
go back to place, as lt has done before un
der the same conditions. This drift during
the recent high water has carried away all
the false work under spans Nos. 3 and 5 and
one bent under span No. 4. These three
spans show nq difference In the camber of
the deck since these false work piles were
washed from under thein. This la Itself
shows that the spans are In fairly good con
dition. The draw span and the Inst fixed span are
In about the same condition relatively as
spans Nos. S, 4 and 5. The floor beams
under all of the bridge have recently been
straightened by having 12x12 corbels placed
under them and bolted to the lower chord.
These floor beams were somewhat decayed,
nurticiilarlv on the south ends, which were
exposed to the storms. The placing of these
corbels under these floor beams has strength
ened them so there need be no uneasiness
felt for the safety of the same. In our
opinion the bridge can be made perfectly safe
for car traffic by replacing me pnes unuer
the several bents which are now washed out
and, as an extra precaution, sash and sway
bracing the entire, set of plies.
In regard to the machinery of the draw,
lt Is a known fact that this machinery Is
somewhat Inadequate to perform the duties
hat nrs Imnosed upon lt. but I see no rea
son why. with careful operating of the draw,
this machinery should not carry ua over the
coming season, althoftgh probably light re
pairs will have to be made upon the same
from time to time. The probable estimated
cost of redrivlng the piles that are washed
away and the additional sway-bracing as
noted above would be between J700 and J1000.
This cost is figured on this basis, as to drive
these plies tho sidewalk will have to be
torn away at the panel points and replaced
after driving.
In event of the rebuilding of this bridge
It does not seem to me that there would be
any difficulty In carrying the car trafric
over the bridge during the course of construc
tion, as with the falsa work that we will
then have under the bridge and additional
false work for the new bridge, the stringer
svstem under the track could be carried by
theee additional bents and the rest of the
entire superstructure. Including the chords,
could be taken away. This would not pre
sent a very serious feature In the building
of the new bridge unless lt were that the
grade of the bridge is materially changed.
In this event the entire stringer system would
bave to be raised enough to clear the new
floor beams.
In conclusion, I would call attention to the
fact that lt Is not probable that we will
have during the coming season any freshets
that would seriously interfere with this pile
work construction. We may look for high
water as usual about June, but this water
being back-water from the Columbia, would
not carry with It any drift which we would
have to contend with. I would also lay
stress on the fact that the present drlrt under
the bridge be removed as expeditiously as
possible, before the water sinks to a lower
level, as part of this drift Is already upon
the bottom of the river and delay In this
matter would make the removal mors diffi
cult. Strict Marriage Llcense law.
VANCOUVER, Wash., Feb. 4. (Spe-
$250,000.00
cial.) City Attorney P. J. Klrwln haa
forwarded to the Clark County delega
tion in the state Legislature at Olympla
a draft of a proposed amendment to tho
state law regulating the Issuance of
marriage licenses. The amendment pro
vides that one of the parties making
application for license to marry must
have been a bona-nde resident of the
State of Washington for at least 90 days
Immediately preceding date of SHid appli
cation. Under the present law no time limit
-4s imposed and as a consequence, Van-,
couver, being on the border line, has
for some time been the gretna green
for runaway couples. There is a feel
ing in Vancouver that the law dealing
with this matter should be stricter.
