BARLEY IS HIGHER Local Market Follows Califor nia Advance. OATS ARE ALSO STRONG At Merchants Exchange $1.20 Is Of fered for Club Wheat With Xo Sellers Advance In the Hop Tariff. The barley market is advancing rapidly. Good feed barley la now held at $34 35 per ton. with a. prospect of going higher. A ahorta- In the Northwest supply hjia been apparent for some time pa"t, but It wao ex pected the deficiency could be made up' In California, where prices were relatively cheap. The. purchase of several lota In the South, however, for shipment to Portland and Seattle has caused that market also to advance. Two hundred tons of barley were received from San Francisco on the Nome City today, and the E. 8. Loop today will bring; 400 tons more. Prices of rolled barley have followed whole barley and were quoted at J363ST yesterday. The oata market maintains its recent firmness. At the Merchants' Exchange yes terday. lOO tons wore sold at $40. The wheat market was strong, but quiet. There was an offer of 41.20 for club wheat at the Exchange, but no sellers at this price. Recent sales of bluestrm have been made at 1.27 and (1.30. There were no new developments In the flour market.

Senate Committee Raise It S Cents to 15 Cents. The Senate finance committee haa amend ed the hop schedule of the Payne tariff bin by raising the duty on foreign hops from 12 to 16 cents a pound. The Payne nlll made no change in the existing rate. Should the bill, aa amended in this par ticular, become a law. It la not likely to have much effect one way or another on the Ameiioan hop Industry. The hopgrowera aaked that the duty be raised to 24 cents, thinking this would keep' down the Impor tations and grve more chance for the home grown article. An advance of S cents In the rate will make but little difference to the Importers. The American brewers use a certain quantity of German hopa every year and do not consider the price. They brought over as many foreign hops two years ago when the price of thdm was 40 cent aa they do now when the landed cost la only 28 cents. From the standpoint of revenue, the bill. If passed aa amended, will bring Into the treasury about $1,200,000 a year. Instead of (960.000, which Is colleoted under the pres ent law. In the meantime, the Government la los ing because of the decreased beer con sumption. The loss from this cause last year was 8. 728.000, as compared with the taxes paid toy brewers in 1907. An unof ficial estimate of the beer sales In Feb ruary shows a decrease of about 80.000 bar rel from the business of the same month last year. Bernhard Blng writes from Nuremburg. under date of March 26, of the German hop market: In spite of the advanced season our market continues rather active; exporters for England especially show a good demand XVe estimate that again more than 4000 bales have been sold oft from our market wKhln the last month, stock of 1908 hops la very small, especially of One greenish colored hopa Work In our hop yards will begin In the course of the next few weeks, when It will be seen how the roots have passed the long and severe Winter. OAIXFORNLY I'RtlT CROP PROSPECTS. Indication Point to a Lighter Yield Than Last Year. California fruit crop' prospects are re ported by the Pioneer Fruit Companyf of Faoramento, In a circular Issued April 17, aa follows: While It Is a little early to advise you definitely of the California fruit conditions for the season of 1000.. we are giving them to you as they exist at the present time. It Is the general opinion of everyone that w are not going to have as heavy a crop aa In 1008. but taking It all through, we look for a fair one. Cherries have bloomed fairly well, and we anticipate a fair crop of both the Black and Royal Anne varieties. Apricots are going to be, without doubt, light, and we do not believe there will be more than from 2i to 25 per cent of a crop, .Soma districts are a little heavier than others, but on the -whole the crop Is going to be very light. Shipping varieties of peaches look fairly well. Alexanders. St. John and Triumph, which are the earliest varieties, promise fair but we do not anticipate anything llxe S large a crop this year ns we had In 11)08 Plums are going to be much lighter than last year and It looks at the present time as If we would not have more than about 60 per cent of a crop. Pears are looking fair and are Just now taking on their first drop. There will be another drop In June and until that takes place, we will not be In a position to give you definitely what the output will be but It 1 not the general opinion that we are going to have a heavy crop of this variety of fruit. The trees have bloomed In good hape but, owing to the heavy bearing of last year, a much lighter crop Is expected this year. Grapes at the present time look well and everything points to a good yield. Eajsj Market Is Firm. The egg market was firm yesterday, with practically all the business of the day done at 121, eente. Very little poultry waa received, as la usual on Monday. The course of prices thle week will depend on the receipts, but deal ers look for a steady market. There were nonew developments in the butter trade. . " STRAWBERRIES OF BETTER QUALITY. Shipment Clean Up nt Per Crate An other Car of Texas Onions. A part car of Southern California straw berries was received yesterday. They, were In fine condition and sold at $2 per crate.' A full car of the same kind Is due tonight. Florin berries ranged In price from $1.76 to $2.50, according to quality. Oranges continued In active 'demand at strong prices. Vegetables of all kinds were In good sup ply anil generally steady m price. Another car of Texas onions was received and prices declined to $2 2.25.

STOCKS STRONG IN TONE ImproYement in Crop Conditions a Factor In Strengthening Prices. Coalers and Metal Shares Move Upward. NEW YORK. April 19. The stock market once more pToved It power of resistance to what were considered unfavorable factors in the outlook and developed a considerable degree of positive strength. The bear con tinued their covering operations today when they - perceived how little effect was pro duced on foreign stock markets by the ad mittedly serious situation of altalrs In Tur key. The speculative tone abroad was con fident. London. Instead of aiding In de pressing prices here, was a buyer of stocks on a considerable Bcale. Weather advices from the crop regions were assuring. The weather situation prob ably had as much general Influence on the tone of the market as any other factor. The coalers maintained their strength well. The metal Industrials also were a strong sustaining influence In the market. the movement embracing not only the Iron, steel, copper and lead leaders, but com panies engaged In more advanced stages of those Industries. Including electrical equip ment companies. Steel trade sentiment Is reported conservative. In view of the continued heavy tendency of the price movement, such as today's announcement of reductions in steel wire prices. The hopeful expressions reported from the head of the Union Pacific's banking house In the course of his travels abroad, proved a per ceptible influence In keeping up the tone of the day's stock market. The renewal of the gold flow from Lon don to Paris and the demonstrated ability of London bankers to command gold in New York strengthened the expectations of an outflow of gold from New York to Paris. New York cash supplies continue to be replenished from other sources, but the time money rates were appreciably firmer today. oI?onds.werB flrIT- Total sales, par value, SK.1H6.O00.

Exhibit to Be Made in Oriental Building; Second and Third Days of Rose Festival. Portland's Rose. Society will hold a meeting in th Auditorium of the Cham ber of Commerce building, at S o'clock tonight, to take up preliminary plans for the regular annual rose ehow. The show ia to be held in the Oriental Building, on the Lewis and Clark Fair Grounds, Tues day and Wednesday, June S and 9. the sec ond and. third, days of the Rose Festival. A vigorous campaign will be made dur ing the next six weeks with a view tq making thiB annua exposition the great eat that has ever been held in the United States and even in the entire world. One of the things already decided upon is that no exhibits of roBes will be allowed from outside of Portland or Multnomah County, that it may be a distinctive and exclusive affair. The Oriental building, which has been leased by the Rose Society, gives nearly an acre of space for the exhibition of rosea in the competitions, with abundant space for decorative floral effects. It also gives the crowds room to move about. Lack of space ln the former exposition pavilions has proved a severe handicap. Local districts and improvement organi zations will be asked to enter tho field In the competitions, which will be decided on tonight. This will give the various suburban districts and additions an op portunity to demonstrate their rose-growing abilities. Mrs. John Minto. president of the Rose Society, says there is aj the present time assurance of a much more comprehensive rose exposition than a year ago. She re fused to discuss details, saying they would be worked out at the meeting. RIOTING TO BE STOPPED Xo Slore Demonstrations Will Be Al lowed at Ball Games.
