BENTS BUYS FREELY
Takes 1000 Bales of Hops for
London Shipment.
STRENGTHENS THE MARKET
home nf the Purchases by the Aurora
ExjKrter Conditions In thci
Kast and A or on d More
AVheat Trading.
The heavy buying by Henry L. Bents has
rescued the hop market from a condition
bordering on weakness, and growers and
dealers alike now take a more cheerful
view of the future. Mr. Bents operations
bear out the belief that has prevailed that
England will continue to draw on Oregon
or supplies throughout the remainder, of
the season. He Is practically alone In the
buying, however, and It is this absence erf
competition that prevents prices getting out
f the old rut.
Mr. Bents' purchases up to last night
aggregated about 10OO bales, taken at 20
o 21 cents. Among the lots secured were
those of H. F. Edmondson. of Goshen, 03
bales: 400 balos from Thomsbury & Seavey,
mostly around Eugene, and 111 bales from
e Silverton grower. Mr. Bents made offers
of 204 cents to a sumber of Salem holders
yesterday.
A California lotter reported the sale of
a lot of Mendoclnos by Sanford Bros, to C.
C Donovan at 17i cents.-
The Kentish Observer of Feburay 3 re
ports the English market as follows:
There is a little more inquiry for hops,
. but no great amount of business Is being
done. Prices remain very steady for all de
scriptions. Continental markets are very
firm at extreme prices for all good kinds,
the supply of which is not equal to the
demand. American reports speak of slow
trade, but good qualities fetch full quota
tions. London factors' circulars say:
. Wild. Neame & Co. There has been rather
more Inquiry during the past week and al
though the actual amount of business pass
ing Is small, a somewhat better tendency
Is noticeable.
Manger & Henley The amount of business
passing is of a restricted character and for
Immediate requirements only. Values remain
firm.
W. H. & H. Le May The market con
tinues quiet, but the few parcels that are
being taken day by clay for consumption
sensibly l educe the stocks. Trices are firm.
l iijullttons In New York State are reported
by the Waterville Times as follows:
We hear of practically no sales herea
bouts and the general tone of the market
hows no change from recent reports.
Those who have held their hops up to this
time show no signs of weakening. There are
said to be Inquiries for the better classes
of hops from day to day. but as for actual
business done, there appears to be none.
Poorer grades seem to be out of demand.
Even should the market liven up. the amount
of hops left on our market would make no
special stir.
tVHKAT MOVING AT LOWER, PRICE.
Borne Business With California Inder Pre
vious Quotations.
There is a fair amount of business under
way In the local wheat market, principally
by houses having California connections.
The tendency of values, however, seems at
the present time to be toward a lower level,
notwithstanding some improvement in the
markets East and in Europe. A full quota
tion on bluestem yesterday was $1.13. and
come business was reported at $1.12. Sellers
at these lower figures, however, are not
numerous. Red Kussian has changed hands
Ht $1.04.-

Seattle ffrain men have so far been una-bla
to Becure any of the wheat orders now be
ing placed in the Northwest for shipment to
Mexico. alihouKh sales were reported at
Vancouver Tor that trade today. The local
market was somewhat firmer, due to the
activity at Portland and Vancouver. Prices
did not advance and no salea of any conse
quence were reported. About the top quo
tation was 51.14 for bluestem. A little ac
tivity was reported In the country.
Packers asked 13 cents for lamb here to
day and 14 Vi cents for year. Sales of prime
bef were reported at 9 cents, a slight de
cline over recent prices.
The potato market was considerably
st If fer with most dealers holding Yakimas
No. l, at a cent a pound. The demand for
fancy stock is brisk and the supply none too
liberal. There is an overstock of cheap tu
bers, however, which are selling as low as
$15 a ton.
The market Is overstocked with tomatoes.
Cubans sold as low as $2 for four basket
crates. cauliflower Is also a drujf. Celery
Is more plentiful and ."10 cents lower.
Snow and cold weather diminished the re
ceipts of fresh local ranch eggs, but the
plentiful supply of California stock holds
prices at the 30-cent level.

ELMA, Wash., Feb. 17. (Special.
The completion of the Grays Harbor
branch of the Union Pacific Railway
means that no more logrs will be floated
down the Chehalis River to market.
With the Northern Pacific following
the tnorth side of the river and the
Union Pacific the south bank, loss can
be delivered from any point in the in
terior without being floated. Hun
dreds of thousands of dollars have been
lost In logs that have been hung up

READING UNDER PRESSURE
Ileassuring ltcports From the Iron
and Steel Trade; Southern Pa
cific Uouslit for liondon Ac
countBonds Aro lfirm.
XEff YORK. Feb. 17. Prices of elocks
roae further tod-ay, althouKh it wa notice
able that Reading, which made up more than
one-third of the aggregate dealing, yesterday,
was prcsaed for pale ateadily in realizing
profits on the sharp rise yesterday.
There wan no one stock as prominent today
es was Reading yesterday, but the conges
tion of dealings in Vnion Pacific and United
States Steel , and the aggressive upward
movement of these stocks carried out the in
dication ofiarge professional participation in
the transactions which made up the body of
the market.
Another fact pointing to the same conclu
sion was' the manner in which new interpre
tations were placed on facts that have been
public knowledge for some time. This ap
plied particularly to the view taken of the
expected Supreme Court decisions bearing on
the anti-trust law.
Reassuring views of the iron and steel
traile from a trado authority, which expressed
conviction that the lull in demand was due
as much to obstructions to deliveries by
weather blockades of freights as to any
falling off in consumptive demand, were a
sustaining influence in United States Steel
and by sympathy to other stocks.
There were large purchases of that stock
and Southern Pacific for London account. The
fresh storm blockades all through the West
ern country and the predictions of their ex
tension were without sufficient Influence to
turn the prevailing tide of eentiment.
One of the points advanced by professional
buyers of stocks was the hope that -the dis
cipline dealt by tho stock exchange to the
members concerned in the Columbus & Hock
ing Coal & Iron pool might invite public con
fidence and attract outside participation In
the stock market.
The engagement of $1,250,000 in gold for
shipment to South America for London ac
count was without appreciable effect on the
money market.
Bonds were firm. Total sales, par value,
$3.373.!0. United States bonds were un
changed on call. m

of the sales were at J5.25. Cows ranged in
prices from $3.50 to $4.75 and other cattle
moved at the previous prices.
The receipts were 173 cattle and 93 hogs.

BITULITHIC PAVEMEN
Bitulithic practically consists in a foundation of
crushed stone cemented with a bituminous
cement. Its wearing surface is a very dense
mixture of graded, comnfinuted, crushed stone,
mixed with a bituminous cement. This is a
successful form of pavement which is durable,
dense, elastic, and not slippery. It is suited to
many streets and will sustain business traffic,
while at the same time it permits pleasure car
riages and automobiles to travel at fast speeds
without slipping.

GIFT LIQUOR IN NEW TACK
F'ederal Court Appeal l-'ailing Iayton
Case Before State Tribunal.
DAYTON. Wash.. Feb. 17. (Special.)
Foilod in an attempt to secure habeas
corpus writs in the Federal Court for
C. A. Walters and X. J. Howell, con
victed here of giving; away liquor. Attor
ney Will H. Fouts, today filed an appeal
to the superior court. He says the penal
izing the piving away of liquor is not
constitutional.
Owing to the fact that several towns
in the Northwest have ordinances making
this act an offense, general interest cen
ters about the case here. It is said local
"wets' are providing funds with which
to fight the case and are using it as a
campaign issue against tlio 'drys" in the
local option fight. The election will be
held March 29. Walters and Howell are
released under bonds of $100 each.
