THE MORNIXG OKEGOKIAN, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 21, 1909. v 19 i GERMAN HOPS HIGH Market Shows a Sudden Ad vance of 2 Cents. ALL GRADES ARE STRONG Conditions In Europe and in the Kast Wheat Firm in the North west Christmas Turkey Mar ket Will Open Today. The carman hop market ha taken on a sudden advance. Coming nX. time when the Enpltih trade is Interrupted fcy the budget dispute, and business in America la checked by the holiday perl!, this Oonttnental -bulge has bad the effect of pnUingTTTe market again on a firm basis. The folio-winy cable wa received yester day from Nuremberg ty Klaber, "Wolf A Kelter: "Market baa advanced. 2 cents. Market Is firm and. advancinf for all qual ities. A letter Just received by local dealer from a leading Iondon firm says In. part: "The coming general election are a some what disturbing factor In the market, and because ef them brewers naturally do not become Interested In PacMo Coast hops. W do not expect to see much business un til after the turn of the year." ,f A writer at Nuremberg, Germany, say: " "Stocks on the Continent are shorter than ever. Ore at efforts are being made by short sellers and brewers to depress the market and they have put off their buying, expect ing lower prices, but I am firmly of the be lief these efforts will not meet with any success and that we shall see some lively scenes in January, February or March." Conditions In Bohemia are thus- reported: "The market I quiet, but firm, and prices are well maintained. The general tendency seems to be In favor of owners, as stocks are getting small, and If Paciflo Coast growers will become firm, higher prices must obtain." A Belgian dealer writes to his correspond ent here: "Our market Is somewhat stiff ened by reason of purchases made by spec ulators who have to deliver hops on December-January short salea and prices of 1909 Belgians are somewhat higher. Hops would reach a high point if American growers would not offer so freely." The Eastern market is reported In a New Tors: letter: "American brewers this year have turned their attention largely to buy ing states on account of their fine quality and the short supply of the Germans. Less than BOOO bales of states are available and a little business Is always doing, so by Jan uary l there will be probably not to ex ceed 41)00 bales available." Tlie local hop market was not active yes terday. There were rumors, however, that two of the exporters were in the market and that one of them had made several purchases. j Weekly Whew Statistic.

Fancy Birds Held at SO Cents. Only Two Carloads of East- ern Received. SEATTLE. Wash.. Dec. 20. (Special.) Ttoe supply of ''turkeys for the Christmas trade is shorter than ever known here, ac cording to local jobbers. The wholesale price touched 5" cents today for fancy stock. Some jobbers were without any tur keys whatever and held out little hope of being: able to obtain a supply in time for the Christmas trade. Only two carloads of Kastern turkeys have arrived and the stock is not choice. Hens were scarce today and sold at the top. Eggs were weak, although, stocks were not excessive, and 49 cents was the top price. Three carloads of Eastern eggs and two of butter arrived. Today1, produce receipts were the heav iest on record here for one day. aggregating 43 carloads. 20 of which were potatoes. Not withstanding -heavy receipts, prices were steady. Two straight carloads of cauliflower ar rived from the south and offered, at $2.25 per crate. With a fresh car of celery the price dropped to S3. 50. The apple supply Is Increasing- ana prices show a still greater tendency to react, al though fancy fruit still commands S2.Q0. Hay was easy today, with prices gener ally 1 lower all around. Timothy did not command more than 25. The market is inclined to be top heavy. Thirty cars ar rived today. Oats are firm at top prices. Ftorks are strongly held. Wheat sold at 71.20. but was quiet. Mills arv now getting enough wheat to keep them running. Sugar Ieclinea In the East. KUW YORK. Dec. 10 all grades of re fined sugar were reduced 10 cents ahuudred toaay.

CAUSES STOCK SELLING And Effect li Prices Is Unfavorable. Rumors of Proposed Mergers in the Banking: World. NEW VoRK. Dec. 2. hope that the approach -The speculative of the holidays would be signalized by a brisk advance in prices of stocks was disappointed today. The spotty advance at the outset met sell ing pressure of such an effective kind that enthusiasm was chilled. A factor In this result was the setback in the Atlantic Coast Line group of securi ties which Tollowed the putting out of de nials, with appearance of authority, of the rumors which accompanied last week's ad vance in those stocks. Another depressing Influence was the calling of loans on a large ncale by several of the large banks, which necessitated the replacing of accommoda tions. . One reason riven for this calling of loans was the appearance of increased sup plies of commercial paper and the desire of ' the banks to provide themselves with means to take it. The $1,300,000 gold to be shipped to South America was withdrawn from the sub-Treasury during the day, but meanwhile that institution had contributed more than $2,000,000 to the banks since Friday. The extent of the shifting of loans by some of the banks gave rise to a conjecture mat adjustment of accounts might be in progress lookingito mergers in the banking world. Recen reoperations In connection with the purchase of the Equitable Life Assurance Society and market movements tn some of the bank stocks have fostered an expectation of such developments. 'I ha reiteration of the report from Paris that the effort to list -JTnlted States S.tpel on the Bourse had been definitely abandoned witn tne dissolution or the syndicate which took a block of stock In connection with the project, weighed on its price to some extent. : The Census Bureau's cotton ginning re w&s nem yi me catton market to con firm the Agricultural Department's serious view of the crop shortage, a matter of grave Importance to industry and to the high cost of living.

When they're afraid, they're wondrous good and free; But when they're safe tlvey have no memory. That is the poetic "thump" that Sir R. Howatfl bands to that brand of. poli ticians who have freckjes on their con science, so much in evidence justnow. What principles stir these fellows but their principal 'axiom, "Get the votes"7 'Get the votes, sayg their Captain Machiavel, whether you hire the "Hun- pry Seven" street-corner band and march with the Dublin Castle swing; and 26-inch-constabulary step; or whether you can prove, like Mohammed of old, that your political maxims have been referred to the anjrel Gabriel and returned with a heavenly , O. K. "Get the votes." What's the difference? One of the instruments or factors which this sort of p politician uses is a bunch of sanctimonious dromedaries who make religion a policy, a cloak, a means, to aret the votes, on the princi ple, "It the world will be gulled, let it 'be gulled." And they're at lt yes, they're at it and how they do infatu ate us! What a holy, pure, devout and humble Bedlamite is Jonathan, their Tweed-bellowing; high p'riest, the dam of this hypocritical brood, whose re lisrion this day can trace back its un defiled credentials to the coattails' of Taft and the worship of Aldrich. Sainted -sfaetstone that sharpens the sword of niorality! Beware of Tweed- ism, say tnese blessed parasites. Ha, unhappy allusion! Who the blazes told you peddle that about?.
