Fome of theso lots are only medium, and
when It Is considered that but a short time
apo they were valued at a nlcltel. the ten
dency of the market can be readily seen.

than that for spot roods. Ten cents Is the
ruling price for the 100!) crop, end at this

Commenting on the advance in New York
hops, the Journal of Commerce of February
11 raid:
There Is considerable activity In th.tnte
market where higher prices are being
asked. In addition to the sale of 03 bales
t 12 Uc. cars, reported yesterday, the same
ruyer. who' Is a large local dealer, bought
the John Cross lot of lio bales, described as
prime, at a similar rricc. taking al.o a
quantity of poorer hops at from Infinite.
A bid of 13c, cars, has been made for the
Fcott Williams lot and also for the Ilvcr
more lot. The Cody lot of OS bales Is held
at lr.c. It Is understood that y-onic of the
bic dealers are uncovered on states and the
market Is rising "
Details have been received of the meeting
of Kentish hopgrowers at Tonbrldge. Kng.,
on Fel ruary 3 when a demand for relief
legislation was again made. Herbert Fitn
mons. a large hop grower. presMed. and a
resolution was passed unanimously to the
effect that the meeting deplored the wide
spread ruin In the hop districts owing to
the present unexampled depression In the
hop Industry, and urged the government to
re-Introduce an Improved hops bill early
next 'session and to carry the same Into law
before the harvesting of the 1000 crop.
The resolution embodied a declaration that
It Is absolutely necessary that the bill shall
prohibit the use of all substitutes for hop's
and chemical preservatives, whl.'h displace
hops In the manufacture, brewing and pres
ervation of beer, and at the same time
secure that all foreign hops landed at ports
In the United Kingdom ahall be subject
to all the restrictions and penalties of the
English marking act.
Harry Taylor urged Kentish growers to
renewed exertion In their defence. A vital
necessity for the industry. If it was to re
cover Its prosperity, he said, was the 4s
ou'y. It was suggested that a public "meet
ing should be held In every village, to be
followed by a mass meeting at some lend
ing town In the country. It was under
stood that this suggestion will shortly be
carried out.
SALES AT THE .MERCHANTS' EXCHANGE
Club Wheat Urine and lied Rus
sian 9! Cents.
Three hundred tons of club wheat were
sold at the Merchants' Exchange yesterday
at $10- and 100 tons of Red Russian
broticht 91 cents. There have been no saies
of bluestem here lately on which ft base
values, but buyers say they cannot pay
over $1.10 to $1.12, while holders, of course,
ask much more. Some fancy prices have
been paid for small lots of bluestem in the
Interior by millers who were short, as for
instance a recent small transaction on the
basis of 51. IS. but in general this figuro
Is regarded as excessiw.

DENIES TALK OF ONION COMBINE.
George Burtt Is Willing to Bark His State
nirntfl with Money.
A letter by J. H. Grande, a California po
tato and onion buyer, was printed In a
local paper recently In which Grande stated
that a combination had been formed by
rival potato and onion dealers to manlDu
law the market for their own benefit, men
tionlna; George L. Burtt. of San Francisco,
as the prime mover In the affair. Mr.
Burtt. who Is now In the Bay City, sends
word that he will deposit anywhere from
jrt00 to JjOOO, If Grande does the same,
the monvy of the loser to go to charity, if
Grande can substantiate any of the charges
of a plot or combine which he makes in
his letter.
That the recent slump In the San Fran
cisco onion market was due to tho pressure
of supplies was shown by the advance there
yesterday, the market going up to J2.25
because of the working o.T of the surplus.
With the Improvement at San Francisco the
tone of the market here was also better.
Four cars cf association onions were sold
during the "day at S'J to be shipped South.
The potato market was quiet but steady
at last prices.
OITSIDE OKPKKS FOB OREGON EGGS.
Bat Even with Slilppine Builness the Price
Decline Meaiiilv.
But for cutside orders the decline In eftg
prices would be so swift that bedrock
would be reached In a f.-w days. Receipts
are larger than ever before known at this
time of year. The shipping demand Is
g.Kid. but not sufficient to lake all that
cime In. and the price is consequently sag
f;B. steadily. Most of the local retailors
are now getting eggs direct from the coun
try. The few sales made on the street yes
terday were reported at 25 and 26 cents.
The demand for poultry was brisk and
the best hens sold at 16 cents. Receipts
were rather light.
The butter market Is quoted Arm by
-the city creameries and buying Is so active
that some of them ai2 unablo to till all
their orders. The cheese market is also
firm.
SHORTAGE IN BANANA SIPPLY.
Worms In Gulf Country Interrupt the Move
ment. There is going to bo a shortage of
bananas in Portland when the present stocks
are exhausted. Tncre are no bananas on
the way and none will arrive for two weeks.
The Interruption to shipments is due to
storms in the C.ulf country. Receipts of
oranges will also be lessened. becaus6 of
rains In California.
The vegetable market was fairly well sup
plied with all varieties yesterday. Busi
ness was good.
There Is no complaint on the part or
Jobbers or retailers of short count in pacK-
r-.iifoi-iia ve-.-ctables. as business is
done on the average basis, in fact, under
count insures the arrival oi me yw-v-
better condition as a rule.
Decline in Sugar Trices.
There was a decline of 20 cents a hundred
on all grades of sugar at all points on the
Coast yesterday. The decline followed a
similar drop in the Kast a few days ago.
The Coast markets have been above a parity
with the East for some time, which made
prices here sensitive to any changes on the
Atlantic seaboard.
Bunk Clearings.
Clearings of the Northwestern cities yes
terday were as follows.

Rising Movement in Stocks Is
Soon Checked.
FOREIGN INFLUENCES AGAIN
I.arge Supply of Xew Issue9 Gives
the Kontl Market u Heavy
Tone Cut in Steel
Prices Expected.
NEW YORK, Feb. 16. The stock market
today proved Itself unready to follow the ad
vances of yesterday and thus disappointed the
hopes of the speculators. The later hours
of the session today 8$ur conditions as etag
cant as at any time last week.
The London market led the way. As the
'foreign situation was largely Influential in
shaping speculative sentiment yesterday In
New York, the contrary movement there to
day was of important sympathetic effect. The
reduction in, the original discount rate of the
lmrfriul Bank of Germany confirmed the
impre6lon of the downward course of inter
est rates abroad and the promise of a poten
tial source of demand for Investment which
grows out of accumulations in banking re
ecrves. The indication thus given of the course
of the money markets was confirmed in a
convincing way by the news that the trust
companies in New York were sending out
notices to depositors of the Interest paid on
deposits. The rate of interest paid by these
Institutions on different classes of ocposita
r.as ranged from 3 to 4 per cent and has
served as a potent factor to draw deposits
from all over the country.
With the prevailing low rates for money
and the additional reserve requirements up
to 13 pr cent of deposits, which was im
posed on tho trust companies on February 1,
they find thems-elvee unable to use these
funds on terme that will reimburse them t
such high ratea to tho depositors.
The supply of new issues of bonds con
tinues very large. The market had under
discussion today a $50,000,000 Austrian loan,
an Irieh land-purchase loan, a New York City
$10,000,000 corporate utock issue and a com
ing Hurlington bond issue of probably $20,
Ooo.ooo or upwards Whether, owing to
these large piospectlve requirements or from
nuie sni;atliy with the tone of the market,
the bond division today was inclined to droop.
The heaviness of the Erie issues had wms
influence on this result. Tho falsing of the
year's Interest on the Texas Sc Pacific set id
incomes was another unfavorable influence
on the bond market.
The insistent rumors' of a coming cut in
steel priics leu to a thorough canvass of
the authorities in the ttaoe. The reported
iHreMS of the president of the American
Smnirinir Refining Company militated
against that stock and with some sympathetic
t-liiL-t eli-ewhere.
Boons were heavy. Total sales, par value.

Liverpool Favorable Weather
for Crop in This Country.
CHICAGO. Feb. 16. The slump In wheat
prices at the start was due tq a declln-s
of lid to 4d In the price of wheat at Liver
pool and to the favorable weather condi
tions In this country for the Fall-sown crop,
heavy snows being reported over a large
section. Including the Ohio River Valley.
There was considerable selling for short ac
count In the opening transactions, and
Initial quotations were unchanged to sl20
below yesterday's close. During the first
hour trade was quiet and prices held fairly
steady at the decline. Demand by the
big holders finally brought out numerous
buying orders from the smaller shorts,
which caused a strong rally and the mar
ket closed at prices near the best mark
of the day. Final quotations on May wore
$1.11 ti ft 1.1414 and on July Jl.OOli.
Decreased offerings of corn from the coun
try, owing to unfavorable weather con
ditions, had a bullish effect on the corn
market. At the close, prices were c to
c above the previous close, with May at
65 ft tiSc and July 65c.
Oats for May delivery sold here today
at 53T4C. the highest prioa for the season.
The market was strong all day. chiefly be
cause of the unfavorable weather for the
movement, which materially curtailed re
ceipts. At the clopo prices were 14c to s
VjC higher, compared with yesterday's final
quotations, with May at 5353Tic and
July 48!i4Sc.
Provisions were a trifle weak early In the
day, owing to a slack demand, but during
the last half of tho day a firmer tone de
veloped, due to some extent to the strength
of coarse grains. At the close prices were
5c to ll-'VjC higher than the previous close.
The leading futures ranged as follows:

IN CONTEMPT, COTTON SAYS
Attorney Makes Tlca Against North
Shore Boom Company.
OLYMPIA. Wash., Feb. 16. f Special.')
Attorney W. W. Cotton, of Portland,
today urged the State Supreme Court to
declare that the North Shore Boom &
Driving Company had committed con
tempt of the Superior Court of Pacific
County in a case wherein the latter court
has recently held the company was not
In contempt.
This novel procedure is the latest move
in bitter litigation that has been pending
for years between the Ntcomen Boom
Company and the North Shore Boom
Company. The Nicomen Company filed
a boom plat and began booming opera
tions, charging the maximum price and
making big profits, lt Is alleged. The
North Shore Company was organized and
established a boom within limits of the
Nicomen plat, but on a portion of the
river unused by the Nicomen Company.
Suit to enjoin the North Shore was
brought, but denied In the lower court.
The case was appealed to Supreme
Court and here reversed.
The Supreme Court held that the law
providing that after a year's abandon
ment, property covered by a boom plat
was vacated, did not apply in this case,
because the Nicomen Company had never
used the property and no abandonment
could occur until after use.
On the Supreme Court decision the
lower court granted an injunction. The
North Shore-Company filed a stay bond
and took an appeal t the Federal Su
preme Court, where the case was ar
gued a few days ago. The Nicomen
Company claimed the North Shore Com
pany was In contempt because the latter
company has been operating its boom
regularly pending all the litigation. The
lower court held there was no contempt,
and an appeal was taken again tb the Su
preme Court and this appeal was today
argued and taken under advisement.
The North Shore Company is said to
be making about J40.000 a year out of
the boom rights, which the Nicomen
Company thinks should come to its
pocket, hence the bitterness of the litiga
tion. ASKS AID FOR CHILDREN
