THE MORMXG ' OREGOXIAX, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 8, 1910. 19 EXPECT BUSY WEEK Hop Dealers Look for Resump - tion of Buying. BY THE EXPORT TRADE Business Improves in tle Local Pro duce Market Slack Demand for All Kinds of Grain Eggs Are Weaker. The hop dealers look for a good amount bf business this week, especially as there w& nothing at all dohe last week. "What ever buying takes place will probably be of an export nature, as the Eastern trade 1im as yet shown no inclination to take hold. As the growers maintain the Bame firm views as formerly, no concessions from previous prices can be expected. A a Eastern hop man estimates, in the Journal of Commerce, American stocks in first hands as follows: Oregon aOTOOO, Cali fornia 12,000, Washington 2000, New York 4000; total 38,000 bales of the crop of 1909. In addition, about 2000 bales 1908s, 6300 fcales 1907a, and 6S0O bales 1906s left In first hands, or a total of about 53,100 bales of Jiops of all descriptions In growers hands In all sections of the United States, which compares with a total of 62,000 bales on February 1, 1909. The TVatervtlle Times, of February 1. re ported the New York State market: Conditions continue as heretofore reported a firm market with do sales. Very much activity cannot be looked for on this market for the rtst of the year, even should prions advance, for. owing to the brisk sales that occurred her early in the season, most of he 19U9 growth has tKjen disposed of. In terest in this locality Is chiefly centered in a few choice growths, for which 37 cents was refused in. one Instance at least, when tit? market was at its height here. The holders of these have not weakened and are prepared to await the future action of the market. The English Brewers' Journal says of the situation ; Despite the abnormally small amount of business transacted during the month this market remains very firm. What purchases bave been made, consisting only of a few parcels, have no-t in any degree affected jrices, which are considered to be compara tively low, seeing that stocks are so re markably short. Inkied, it is freely stated in the thorough that there are not 10,000 cwt. of Kntjliah hops remaining in the mer chants' hands -an exceptional position at this season, which has no parallel probably within the last HO years. 1-ondon trade circulars dated January 17 report tlw market: Manager and Henley There is more in qui ry ; the small quantity of hops left in growers' hands makes it difficult for buyers to find suitable parcels for their require ments. W. If. and H. Lee May The hop market re mains tlrm w it h exceptionally small stocks in all hands. G RA 1 X Bl SI X KSS AT A STAXDSTI LL. Nu Buyer or Seller of Wheat la This Market.

At Seattle, the dealers were talking us low as $1.12 for this va riety, but that basis was altogether too low for scllors. About $1.15 was considered a fair price in this market.

THE CAR-STEP AGITATION Height of Step, in Isolation to Wom en's Health, liseussed. PORTLAND, Feb. 6. (To the Editor ) In a communication by Mrs. Nina Larlow, in The Oregonian of last Sunday, on "Lower Car Steps Fight," ehe quotes Mrs. Cath erine Maxwell, "a valued professional nurse," saying: "Men should have taken up th is matter long ago for the sake of the coming children whose future might be marred easily by imperfections bequeathed them by these high car steps." As I understand this statement. Mrs. Maxwell fears that the child might be born with some blemish, abnormality or imper fection, as a result of its mother having to take a high step on boarding a streetcar. If this Is so, it is very strange that all the celebrated medical men who have written on y e natal Influence have not mentioned it. They have all goue deeply into the subject, tfut have entirely Ignored the high car step. Probably the reason why "men have not taken up this matter of the high rar step." causing the child to be born with a blemish, is because it is not true. Climbing a ladder or walking up stairs may be dangerous to the woman with we:tk heart or lungs, but she can have absolutely no effect on the unborn child. " It Is not the high step, but the low stop which plays havoc with the female function and ofton causes miscarriage, as every physician knows. A sudden step down of a few inches is often sufficient to cause prema ture birth ; but who ever heard of a high Ktp doing suo.h damage? I don't know the Mrs. Maxwell referred to. but if she made the statement above mentioned, she Is very far from the fact. I should like to know where she gets ber authority. I don't be lieve that" any reputable physician will sus tain her In this statement. Mrs. Larlow asks. "How about low steps in Pan Francisco 7" Well. I have lately visited ftin Franciseo and ought to know how about It, as I was a constant patron of the streetcars when there. Portland is many years behind San Francisco in lis streetcar accommodation, aa we41 as in many other things useful and ornamental. This is how this question Is settled in Snn Francisco: They buitd a solid stone plat form about 12 inches high alongside the ear track and about the middle of the block. This Is not unsightly and is no ob struction to the "street. The people who want to board a streetcar take their statid on this platform. When the car comes along, there is a perfect I v easy step from this platform Into the car. The problem of the high car step is solved and everybody is happy. The oar company avoids a lot of abuse and the people are saved a lot of profanity and ill-temper. T. .T. PIERCE. AIM EX -NEWSBOY'S PLEA Law SlKiuld Allow Youngsters to Earn Needed Money, Is Stated. PORTLAND. Feb. 7. (To the Editor.") I protest against any legal interference with Portland newsboys, under 10 years of age. selling papers in the streets. For the past 14 years I have sold on the streets , tlje morning, evening and. weekly newspapers of this city, almost continually that is, until about the last four of the aforesaid 14 years, when other business ventures required my time. I am proud of the fact that when I was only about rt years old I was almost com pelled, although not forced, to start out in the world by selling newspapers on Port land's streets . Why should a newsboy of this city, or of any other place, be licensed? Is there any person who thinks this is Jus tice to bring about such a law. backed by the municipality of the city, or backed by the class of people with pro-privilege, pro corporation leanings? For the sake of civili sation should the newsboy be bossed by an overseer? If so4 what about the emanci pation proclamation? Should there be any restriction or pro visions, such as age limit, corners selected for the sale of these papers, and other such rules, which would have to be adhered to, by. in many cases, the support of a widowed mother, and deprive the small lads of their God-Riven rights, only to benefit the few at the bead of the so-called NewFboyi" Associ ation of Portland? That is like takisi- tha crumb out of a baby's mouth. R- K. P. K.ULISCH NO STOCK DEH And With Heavy Liquidation . Prices Give Way. DROPS OF 4 TO 6 POINTS Indications of Manipulation on the Part of the Powerful Capitalist Groups Money Markets Vndisturbed. XEW YORK. Feb. 7. Extreme prostration of demand was the conspicuous feature of the stock "market today. Te heavy liquidation. In consequence, made several inroads on prices. The extent of the selling last week and of the resulting declines1, followed by the week end rally, had inclined speculative sentiment to look for a steadier market. The renewed outpouring of etocks and the determined ab stention of effective support threw speculative sentiment back Into depths of depression. Buying 'was on s scale to be relied on al ways except in periods of -downright panic, but orders of this class today were encoun tered only at steady concession in prices and an attempt to bid up prices in face of the flood was not to be detected. That every sale -was met by a purchase goea without say ing and that such purchases have represented a passing of stocks from stronger to weaker hands for some time pat Is the conviction of a considerable body of opinion In the stock market. As to the sources of liquidation there ex ists a fairly denned division of opinion. On one side i the view that the great capitalise groupe. which accumulated conMantly last year, mfeeed an opportunity to sell out at the high prices by carrying their campaign over into the new year, being overcome meantime by the requirements of the money market and the conviction that the political outlook threat ened the welfare of the corporations. Another view is that distribution of l3t year's accumu lations was actually effected while prices were held up by manipulation, following which the lull in prices is seen with complacencv bv the powerful capltalut groups'. If not actually fos tered by professed alarm and by recall of cred its through the control held over the great banking institutions. The securities and money market were un disturbed. The private discount rate declined In Paris and also in London, deaplte with drawals of gold from the latter center for phpment to ICurope and to South America. The local money market was- eafy, but the rapid fall in price of stock induced some re call of credits, where margins were not re paired. The day's extreme declines- ran between 4 and 6 points for t4ie stocks in which the bulk of trading occurred. Bonds- were irregular. Total sales, par value S2.8t1.00O. United States 2 advanced H and the 4a coupon declined hi per cent on call. CLOSING- STOCK QUOTATIONS. Closing , Sales-. High. Low. Bid. Allis Chalmers pf. K 38 37 ii 37 Amal Copper ....
