Oregon May Only Have Half
Her Average. Yield.
COUNTLESS ROOTS DEAD
Plants That Survived the AVinter
Frosts Are Dwarfed by the Pres
ent t'n favorable Weather.
Cultivation Is Indifferent.
TTnuatisfactory crop reports are coming In.
frrtrn the hop sections of th state every day.
Cnlew the viae soon showw material change
for the better. Oregon may this year produce
only half & crop. It Is ueual. at this time
of year, if the yard look at all bad, to bear
plenty of scare talk of a probable crop fail
ure. However, thj reports now coming In
eern to be well based.
All observer, agree that the number of miss
ing hills Is much larger than ever before. In
many Instances, where Investigation has been
made, the roots are found to be dead and de
cayed, in many or tne larger yarm men
have been braily engaged In setting out new
root and In some of thm the proportion Is
alarmingly large. There are yards on the
eat side of the river where every hill now
contains new roots. At other places where
the old roots are not dead they are sending
out hundreds of eyes to each hill, which only
exhaust the vitality of the plant.
Experts in ho-ralsing are at a loss to ac
count for the great number of dead root 7iils
year. They do not believe the cold Winter
caused the trouble, aa the root will stand
hardest freezing. Some of the Joeet posted
growers think the damage was caused by the
severe frosts Jitt after hops were picked last
year.
Where the. vines are grow lug the stand is
generally rtckly. This la attributed chiefly
to the lack" of rain In April and the present
cold nights Indifferent cultivation to like
wise showing Its effect on many of the yards.
The unfavorable reports come from nearly
all sections of the valley. . New yards as well
as old ones are suffering.
One of the largest and mort conservative
growers In the state, who hae Just finished a
close Inspection of' the yards on both, sides of
the river, says that, as the crop now stands,
Oregon cannot possibly produce over 70,000
hnlea of hops this year, and, unlese the yards
soon show improvement, he will reduce hU
efrtlmate to ,000 bales.
Bl'YERS AM) SELLERS ARE APART. -
Not Much Trading In the Wheat Market,
foreign 8h.pn.ents.
Buyers and sellers in the wheat market
find difficulty in getting together. Prices of
frred and nsked yesterday were too far apart to
permit of much business. Club wheat" was on
the market at $1.20 to $1.25. but buyers were
tint disposed to go over $1.18. " A eale of blue
stm was made at $1.R0.
Oats and. barley held at the former prices.
The Merchants Exchange reported foreign

EASTERN EGG MARKETS STRONGER.
Prices Advanced a Full Cent Because of
Stormy Weather.
The most Interesting development in the egg
trade yesterday was the news that the East
ern markets had suddenly advanced a full
cent. Where prices were quoted weak In the
East Thursday, they were decidedly strong
yesterday. -The weather was responsible for
the change. The Eastern bulge naturally
stiffened the views ef some of the weak local
holders end they were not as ready to unload
at concessions as on the preceding day. Good
eggs readily commanded 25 cents. No orders
from the Sound were reported.
The poultry market was steady, with a fair
upply offered.
A small shipment of cheese arrived from
Tillamook and was sold almost as axm as
unloaded at the old price.
The butter market held its own. The sup
ply and demand are about equal, but any In
crease In cream receipts would cause a
weaker market.
STRAWBERRY RKCE1PTS SHORT.
loral Trade Could Have Csed Much Larger
quantity.
About a third of a car of Los Angeles straw
berries was received yesterday. They were
In good phape and sold well at $1.50 per crate.
A full car could easily have been disposed of.
Receipts of Jlorln berries were light and the
hest of them sold at $1.75. There was a
lively demand for oranges.
Two cars of cabbage arrived from the South.
Asparagus1 was still plentiful. Local hothouse
lettuce was a drug on the maTket. California
wax beans were nfrered at 30 cents a pound.,
Stronger Feeling In Potato Trade.
The tone of the potato market was bullteh
yesterday. There were rumors that better
than $1.75 had been paid in the country, but
they could not be confirmed. The high prices
have had the effect of bringing out offerings
from some sections where no potatoes were
known to exist. Katern potatoes have been
ottered to the trade laid down here at $2.50.
Decline In Linseed Oil.
A decline of 4 cents is.Jinseed oil was an
nounced yesterday. Raw oil in cases Is now
quoted at til cents and boiled in rates at 71
cents.

-Oats Firmer.
SEATTLE, Wash., April 30. (Special.)
There was a sharp flurry on potataes here
today, as a result of which late this after
noon commission men were asking as high
as $42 for the best Yakima stock. Receipts
during the past ten days have been light
and when a rimor was started on the street
this morning that there were only 15 cars
in the city, dealers hastily put prices up
and sent rush orders to the country.
Good strawberries were in brisk demand
at fancy prices. The receipts are below the
demand, but dealers are afraid to take
chances on bringing heavy stocks from the
South. Until local berries commence to
arrive on this market, stocks are likelyi to
be low-. Berries sold as high as $2.75 to
day. Butter moved freely at 27 cents. Eggs
were not as firm and some price cutting was
done.
Veal -was shore and sold as high as 12
cents.
Owing to competition of Eastern buyers
In Canada, oats, have stiffened there and
here.

WHEATTURF4S WEAK
After a Strong Opening,
Prices Break Badly.
QOOD DEMAND AT START
'tVeatlier Xews Is Favorable to the
Balls In the Later Selling'
All the Gain Is
Lost.
CHICAGO. April .10. Unfavorable weather
advices from the Northwest were the chief
reason for a. strong opening in the wheat
market. Snow storms, accompanied by a
drop in temperature, were reported In the
Canadian Northwest, while across the bor
der line equally unfavorable weather for
seeding:, prevailed, although It was warmer.
There was a grood general demand at the
start and opening prices were unchanged to
c higher, compared with the previous
close. July opened at tl. 11 1.1214. After
the first hour, demand was less urgent and
sentiment gradually became bearish. "From
tl.12, July dropped to $1.10. May held
relatively more steady than the more distant
months and sold between $1.2Si and f 1.24.
The close was at about the low point of the
day with July at $1.114 and May at $1.23
S 1.23,.
The corn market was a choppy affair
nearly all day and Anally turned weak In
sympathy with wheat. The market closed
weak at almost th bottom, with May
c lower at TOc.
Buying brought out by continued cold
wather in the West and Northwest caused
moderate advances In the price of oats
early in the day. but all of the gain' was
lost on selling, based on the slump in other
grains. At the close prices were unchanged
to 14 c lower compared with yesterday's
finals. May Jjeing at 55 VsC
Trade in provisions was quiet, but a mod
erately firm tone prevailed. Prices at the
close were unchanged to S'&TAc higher.

KATE TOt'CHES 3 PER CENT AT
NEW YORK.
Due to Preparations for May 1 Pay
ments Stock Speculation
Is Iull.
NEW YORK. April 30. The etock mar
ket today was dull and little impression
was made on prices by many of the events
which came into consideration. The ex
cessive dullness was partly due to the In
terruption of communication with the West
ern part of the country by the storm. Few
orders were received from outside sources
and news of conditions in the storm area
was scanty.
Prices wsre held up to some extent by
the sympathetic effect of the strength in
special stocks. Union Pacific was sup
ported and its recovery from yesterday's
decline had much to do in allaying: the ap
prehension regarding- tha speculative posi
tion caused by that decline.
Reading had the benefit of the signing
of the agreement over the wage scale with
tho anthracite miners and of the good show
ing of earnings for March reported by the
company.
The last day of the month and Friday
offered a double occasion for extra de
mands on the money market. It . was not
until lat-3. however. that an Impression
was made on the call rate by the prepara
tions for the May 1 payments and for carry
ing over stock market accounts until Mon
day next. y
The hardening of the money market
early In the Week has had the effect of
attracting funds to New York from tha
interior, as shown by the rise in the
premium on New York exchange at Chi
cago from 10c to 25c yesterday and SOc to
day per $1000. The receipts by the New
York -banks on the Interior movement dur
ing the week have exceeded the shipments
to the amount, it is believed, of nearly
$4,000,000. The Subtreasury operations,
however, have taken $4,675,000 from the
banks during the week, this amount Includ
ing the $2,00(.000 shipped to France and
a payment of $1,000,000 by the American
Sugar Refining - Company on account of its
settlements with the Government for the
fraud case In course of prosecution.
The call loan rate touched 3 per cent,
duplicating the high rate of last Friday
and of the first week in January of this
yeir.
