HOP MARKET IS DKCLININO.
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

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

which date we should have normal supplies

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. United States 2's coupon

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.

Wide Range of Prices in Chi
cago Market.
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. At the close prices were
a shade lower to 7Vi10c higher.
