THE MORNING OREGONIAN, WEDNESDAY, . JUNE BUY HOPS Dealers Have Orders but There Are No Sellers. OFFER 13 AND 14 CENTS Cables Report Vermin Increasing in England and liohemia In Spite of the Improved Weather. New York Conditions. Almost every . hop dealer in the state is believed to have orders Tor 11K9 hop con tract?, but there- is an entire absence of Belter. Offers of 13 and 14 cents have been made In several sections, but without causing growers to take the least Interest. With the market having already advanced 5 cents, the farmers have naturally set their ideas at a high figure for the coming crop, many of them confidently believing the market will reach 18 or 20 cents before harvest. The following London cablegram was re ceived by Klaber. Wolf A Natter yester day: "England Vermin have Increased, but there ta favorable change in weather. Mar- ket is dull, with downward tendency. "Bohemia Vermin have Increased, but weather Is very favorable. No change in market to report New York crop conditions are reptorted hy the Watervllle Times as follows: Although the weather has not warmed up much and the nights are still too cool to be seasonable, yet the hops are making a fairly good growth. In tha new yards there is promise of an average crop, but the old yards are not looking very promising and the most that can be expected Is a small sized crop for this year, other conditions being favorable. Offers to contract for this year's crop' at 15 cents are being made dally by dealers, but so far few of our growers have accepted any of these offers. The Coblesklll, N. Y-. Index says: It Is said that there will be about 15 per cent decrease, compared with last year, in the hop acreage in Otsego County. The hop roots have wintered well, but the cold. Inclement weather has retarded work in the Gelds. STRAWBERRIES SELT, AT $1 PER CRATK Lowest Price of the Season, Because) of Oversupply. Strawberries touched the lowest price of the season yesterday. In the afternoon good fruit waa offered freely on Front street at $1 per crate. As was to be ex pected, the warm weather brought on the bulk of the crop almost all at once, and with the oversupply, prices had to tumble. The range of prices on the street was from $1 to $1.75, the top' belog the Hood River quotation. At the East Side market, prices started out at $1.40r 1.60. but, like the Front-street market, the first prices were not maintained long. A heavy supply Is looked for again today. Raspberries have made their appearance and are selling at $1.25 per crata. Logan berries are slow sale at 75 cents. Apri cots, peaches and plums are also cheaper. No cantaloupes were received. There is a good demand for bananas. There are no in dependent bananas on the market and have been none since the first car was re ceived. Another car of Florida plneap'ples will be received the latter part of the week;, Thla win make six Btralght cars of pineapples brought into Portland so far this season. This is the first year that pineapples have ever been brought here in carlots. A car of Mississippi tomatoes, the first of the season, was distributed on the street. They were In fine condition, green and turn ing, and were quoted at $2 per crate. Green corn drags, but other vegetables sell readily. Weekly Grain Statistics.

DISAPPOINTS WALL STREET Before Its Publication the Trend ol Values Is Strongly Upward Movement in Southern Pacific. NEW YORK. June 8. The stock market occupied itself today largely with the fac tors applying to individual stocks, pending the appearance of the Government crop re port, after which there was a transforma tion of the previous tone. With an aggres sive upward movement in such, market lead ers as the Harrlman Paclncs and Reading, and a good advance in United States Steel, the general upward trend was to be ex pected. Reading was the early advance leader. with a persistence of reports of coming Increase In the rate of the dividend and of the retirement of the second preferred stock by exchange for common and first preferred stock, each In half portions. United States bteel was again the subject of reports or accumulation by the Paris flotation syndi cate. The buoyant rise of five points In South ern Pacific was due to the reported action of the directors looking to the retirement of the preferred stock. The privilege of ex change of the preferred stock Into common stock rather than accept the 115 In cash, at which the company is entitled to call the stock, would mean, of course, the substitu tion of a 6 per cent charge on the present volume of preferred stock in place of the 7 per cent now paid in dividends on that stock. Th e benefit to the finances of the company seems rather obscure. The right to call the preferred stock for retirement ex pires next year, so that it would have per manent preferential rights to 7 per cent dividends if not retired before that time. The alternative offer to preferred stock holders of 4 ,per cent, with $20 cash in addition would effect an annual saving to the company. If acepted by all the pre ferred stockholders, of about $1,200,000. The publication of the Government crop report came upon the prosperous course of the speculation induced by the special movement. Keen disappointment with the showing of the condition of Winter wheat and the acreage estimate for Spring wheat Induced general selling of stocks and brought prices back to about where they left off last night. Bonds were Irregular. Total sales, par value, $7,850,000. United States bonds were unchanged on call. CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS. Closing baies.

ACTIVK BUTETN'O IN' CHICAGO MARKET. Jjoaa in Condition of Winter wheat More Than Expected. CHICAGO, Juno 8. Tha official statistics complied by tho Government experts relating to the acreage sown to wheat in tho United stated ana condition of the crop on June 1 were made publlo 16 minutes before tho end of the session of tho local exchange. Tho condition of Winter wheat was 80.7, or nearly S points below that of one month ago. while tho condition of Spring wheat waa estimated at 85.2, - a trifle above tho condition tho cor responding time last year. The area sown to Spring wheat was estimated at . 18.391,000 acres, tho largest acreage on record. The loss of nearly 8 points In tho Winter crop was more than had been expected and was the causa of active buying. There were also liberal purchases, on tho theory that the abandoned acreage, which was sot accounted for in the report, would reduce the yield of Winter wheat. Prices, which had slumped earlier, rallied sharply. The market was decidedly strong at the start, owing to the strength of foreign mar- Kets and to damage reports from Kansas but weakened toward tho end of tho first hour on profit-taking. Tho range for theo day on July wheat waa between $1.18 and $1.20)4. The close was strong, with July at S1.19&1.18a4. 1 no corn market opened strong and prices soon elumped sharply on proht-taking.
