Two I-ot, sold by Growers Yesterday at V4 Cents. Nearly all markets are tending- upward these days except the hop market. It seems to be going- from bad to worse. The pur chase of two lots, aggregating- 170 bales. by 1.. Hart at 6W. cents was reported ves- terday. This Is the lowest price that hops have sold for In several months. Frank D. Miller, an Oneonta, N. Y.. dealer, who recently visited this state, on his return home made the following state ment : "Large quantities of the li0! crop have nren contracted for by dealers at 10 to 111, cents. It Is estimated that of the 75,000 bales likely to be produced In Oregon, fully 50,000 bales have been disposed of In this way. In Washington the lands are crov lug too valuable for fruit growing and the hop yards are being discontinued so that me production there win be small. The alltornla hop Is not considered equal ia luuiuy or me otner states and not many hops are sold In that state. The foreign crop u more likely to affect the market mere, f.niunn win have 6000 less acre age while (Jermany win produce the usual amount, the yards there being small bpt many. Auverse action on the excise auas. tlon Is reducing the demand from brewers In many sections of the country and ths action of dealers In contracting the brew ers for three and even more years ahead also affects ths market to the disadvantage of the grower," SOUTHERN fABBAGE AND ONIONS. Movement of These Vegetables From Cali fornia Points. Regarding shipments of TVInningstadt cabbage and Southern California onions, the California Vegetable In Ion says In a cir cular to the trade, dated April 10: Shipments of Wlnnlngstadt cabbage to date have been light, due to cold weather In February and March, which made the crop about three weeks lata. The Melds are now In splendid condition, weather Just right, quality the best for several seasons. Ship menu will average during April about 25 cars weekly, which Is considerably under the usual output. There is a strong de mand from a widely scattered territory, and we predict a steady market the season through. Ths first cars of yellow Bermuda onions from the famous Coachella and Thermal districts will move next week; shipments will he light until around April so. after which date we should have normal supplies WUHllty 1. flne.

Anxiety Shown Over the Year's Crop Outturn. GENERAL LIST IRREGULAR Foreign Markets Xot Disturbed lj the Turkish Situation Ad vance in Call Iioan Kat at New York. NEW TORK. April 14. There was a nota ble lack of animation in the stock market today. In view of the admittedly Impaired condition of the Winter wheat crop, extra Interest centers In the preparations for the Spring wheat crop. The advices from the Spring wheat region today were of unpropl tlous conditions for seeding, owing to the Inclement weather. The sensitive condition of the wheat market in the highly specula live state emphasizes the effect of news of the crop in that market, and by reflection In the stock market. Some of the selling of stocks today was accompanied by professions of growing anxiety over the year's crop' outturn, upon which much adir.ittedly depends for the con tinuance of the restoration of prosperity. The extension of the long Interest in stocks In the course of the prolonged rise adds to the vulnerability of the market, and the professionals are watchful for opportuni ties to attack the bull position and at tempt to force speculative liquidation by depressing prices and exbausting margins. These attempts were but partially success ful. In view of the vantage point of the lower price level already established in yes terdays trad'ng. Some slight unsettlement in the opening aeallngs was due to fears of the effect of the Turkish troubles. This selling appeared to come from local sources in anticipation of foreign selling, but when it aipeared that London was buying stocks in this market. the early depression was overcome. The New York money rate on call loans touched 2 4 per cent. The tone of the general list was irregular up to tne last. xtonas were irregular. Total sales, par value, $4,160,000.

SEATTLE FLOUR HIGHER BID OF $1.18 IS MADE FOR CIjTJB WHEAT. Potato Market Weakens Because of Too Heavy Stocks New Til lamook Cheese. SEATTLE, Wash., April 14. (Special.) Patent flour advanced 40 cents per barrel today, making the new price $6 In car load lots and $6.16 in less than carloads. On the Merchants Exchange 10,000 bushels of club wheat were offered at $1.20, but the highest bid was $1.18. The first Tillamook cheese reached this market today. The cheese was quoted at i cents. The stock is so fresh, however, that, like the new California cheese, met a. slow sale. The potato market eased off somewhat and no one was able to get more than $38 as against a top quotation of $40 last week. The sentiment on the street this week is that stocks are too heavy here to warrant the prices being asked. The con tinued cool weather, however. Is helping to hold the market firm. Apples were dull. There were no boat receipts today, although one boat arrived this morning. QUOTATIONS AT BAH FRAJfCISCO. Prices Paid for Produce ia ths Bar Clt Markets. SAN FRANCISCO. April 14.

GENERAL TREND UPWARD Continued Trgent Demand for Cash Grain at Advancing Prices. Close Is Excited and . Strong. CHICAGO, April 14. Extreme nervousness marked trading In the wheat pit and prices moved over a wide range. There was no In dication early In the session that the market would continue Its record-breaking perform ance of the last two weeks, but, on the con trary, the climax to the sensational upturn in price seemed to have been reached, at least for a time. Owing to a decline' of to lVsd at Liverpool, the market here opened weak, with prices unchanged to 3c be low yesterday's close. Intitlal quotations on May were at $1.271.27H and on July at i.i5ei.ie. Several of the leading longs In May wheat bought freely early in the session, which caused considerable buying by shorts. This resulted In May advancing to fl-28 and July to $1.17. Much of the demand for July was baeed on unfavorable crop reports from Missouri. Continued urgent demand for the cash grain at advancing prices was responsi ble to some extent for the fresh bulge in May. During the greater part of the day a very nervous feeling was manifested, with the May delivery showing the greatest buoy ancy. This was partly accounted for by a falling off in primary receipts and by statle tics which showed a marked decrease In ex ports from the United States during March. Sentiment in the pit became exceedingly bullish In the final hour and shortly before the close May rose to $1.29. while July ad vanced to $1.18. There was some reaction from the top on profit-taking, but the close was excited and strong, with May at $1.2S and July at $1.171.17. Advances of from 1 to 2c marked proceed ings In the com market. During the day May sold between 66c and 66V4C The mar ket closed at the top, with May shoeing a net gain of 2c at 68 c. Oats shared In the strength of wheat and corn and prices at the close were up He to lc compared with the previous close. Shorts were active bidders 411 day. The range ?n May was between 5353c and 55c and the close was at 64 55c. Provisions were rather weak at the start. hut rallied early and continued firm the bal ance of the session.
