ACREAGE THE SUME
No Change in World's Hop
Growing Area.
FALL PRICES MAY BE GOOD
All the Old Hops Should Be Worked
Off by the Tim the New
Crop Is on the
Market.
yesterday's letters from England to local
hop dealers contained the information that
leas than 6000 bales of the English crop of
10 remain unsold, while hop men in Ger
many write that never within the memory of
the oldest member of the hop trade have
stocks on the Continent been so reduced. In
fact, conditions indicate that before the next
crop comes in some Pacific Coast hops may
toe used by Continental brewers who too Tons
delayed purchasing their necessary supplies-
As regards the prospects for the coming
crop. European authorities report a decrease
Jn ire German acreage of 2 to 8 per cent, or
bout 2000 acres. In Belgium there has
been a small and unimportant increase in
acreage, and the same report comes from
England. Thena will be some increase on
the Pacific Coast, which will make the total
world's acreage about the same as last year.
With an average yield the world over, good
prices should prevail, as the surplus of old
hop, which has depressed the markets for
the past three years, will no doubt be turned
Into beer this season.
No one doubts that England will yet re
quire a great many bales of 1909 Coast hops.
But for the fair spot supply, many of them
consigned hops, now on the London market,
the export buyer would be operating more
freely here. Up to the present time Eng
land has imported only about 40.000 bales
cf American hops and an insignificant quan
tity of German hops. Because of her short
crop last year the brewers have found them
selves facing a deficit of about 300,000 cwt
which has to be made up out of the sur
plus stock of olds or purchases of new hops
in this country. English brewers buy Pa
cifies only for late brewing and prefer them
as yearlings, so the brewers of that country
will not begla to use PaoirVcs much before
July. August and September.
In previous years, when the English crop
was twice as large as in 1909 and the Con
tinent also produced twice as much as last
year, England has imported from America
alone from 75,000 to 85.000 bales. This year,
however, in addition to what she has al
ready bought, England could take every bale
of hops remaining -in the United States and
till not have purchased as much as in past
years when the Engtlsh crop was normal.
Although the local market continues
quiet, a very steady feeling prevails. It
was reported from Independence, yesterday
that Peroival had sold 100 bales to Klaber.
TVolf Netter at 18 cents and there were
also reports of 1 7 -cent offers being made In
different sections by other dealers, both for
export and for the American trade.

Frices.
For the past two days receipts of poultry
have shown a gain. Yesterday's arrivals
were the largest at nee the egg-laying sea
son began, and as a consequence the mar
ket lost some of its firmness. The top price
quoted on hens was 20 cents. The only way
to account for the larger supply now is the
supposition that farmers are culling out
such hens as are not laying well and are
rushing them to market to take advantage
of the current high poultry prices. It is not
likely, however, that enough stock will come
for smne time yet to have much effect on
the market.
Egg-storing is becoming more generffl.
four or five large firms now being engaged
In putting away supplies. Prices were un

Butter continues to clean up readily and
the market is in a very steady ponltlon.

Indications That the liottnm of the Market
Has Been Reached.
There were no changes In local wheat mar
ket conditions yesterday. The demand was
small and the former low prices were quoted.
In some quarters it is believed that the
bottom has been reached, as prioos are prac
tically on an export basis, but unless the
exporters take hold the surplus in the North
west may force prices to a lower level. The
foreign market was better yesterday, cargoes
being quoted Sd higher at 40s. May wheat
advanced a quarter at Liverpool, but July
closed an eighth lower than Wednesday.

SEATTLE. March 31. (Special.) The
grain market presented a sorry spectacle to
day when oats dropped to $27 and barley to
$-5 a ton on the Merchants' Exchange. The
highest bid on bluestem wheat was 99 cent
and the market would have gone lower had
any grain been offered. Two hundred ton
of September oats were sold at $HS and 200
tons of barley at S2 3.o.
Inquiries for wheat from Eastern buyers
were received here today, but no business
has been negotiated, although prices are now
said to be iwnr the point where Eastern
shipments can be resumed.
Three carloads of celery arrived today.
Steamer goods were pretty well cleaned up
tonight, but another boat is due tomorrow.
Walla Walla asparagus is offerad and good
stock commands outside prices.
Apples are moving slowly again.
Eggs were firm today. Receipts from
country points showed a marked falling off.
Advices from Oregon are to the effect that
some dealers thena prefer to store than ship
surplus eggs north. The demand for eggs
is not quite as brisk this week, following
the Easter season. Poultry shows some in-
and cheese was decidedly easier.

Top-Grade Heifer Brings $ Gen

Development of Hog Indus
try In the Northwest,
An advance of 90 cents a hundred over the
last previous transact lorv -was shown in a sale
of sheep at the Portland Union Stockyards
yesterday morning. This clearly Indicates
the tendency of the sheep market at this time.
as the supply has been far under the require
ment of packers and butcher.
Yesterday's sale Involved 254 head of sheep
that averaged 69 pounds In weight and were
about 11 months old. They were shipped In
by B. J. Clough, of Arlington.
Another noteworthy transaction of the day
was the sale of a remarkably nne spayea
heifer at $7 a hundred. It was bought by L.
R, Hough, a local buyer at the yards, wlio
secured it for and sent it to the Tacoma Meat
Company, of Tacoma. This was, without
doubt, the beat heifer ever sold here.
Eleven dollars waa the beat price paid dur
ing, the day for hogs, 84 head of good quality
going at that price.
The monthly statement of General Agent r.
O. Lively, for March, contains nme interest
ing figures. The receipts for the past month
compare with March of last year as follows:
1010. 1909. Gain.
Cattle 7945 4338 3i07
Hogs 460O 4268 382
Sheep 4472 3369 1103
Local packers, according to the general
agent's report, brought 3127 fewer hogs from
Missouri River points In March. 1910, than in
March, 1909. Hogs bought at Missouri River
points In March cost 19 cents per hundred less
than in the Portland markets, yet the Missouri
hogs, being grain fed, killed out more profitably
than the Oregon product.
Receipts at the Portland yards yesterday
were 3 cattle, 85 hogs and 254 sheep.
Shippers of stock were B. J. Clough. of
Arlington, one car of sheep, and W. E. Stevens,
of The Dalles, with a car of hogs and cattle.

RIVER TRAFFIC FALLS OFF
Albany Enlightens Congress With
JTigmrcs to Aid Locks Purchase.
A LB ANT, Or.. March 31. (Special.)
The remarkable decrease la river
traffic on the Willamette and the con
sequent increase in railroad traffic on
the Southern Pacific line down the
Willamette Valley are strikingly shown
in fig-ures which the Albany Commer
cial Club today wired to the Oregon
delegation in Congress, for use, as an
argument for the purchase of the Ore-
gon City locks and the restoration of
river competition.
These figures, which were compiled
by the State Railroad Commission and
secured by the local club from Rail
road Commissioner Oswald West, show
that for the year ending December 31,
1909, the number of passengers going
through the locks was 10.937. During
the same period 1336 head of cattle
and only 78 head of sheep and hogs
passed through the locksv and only 3,
014 feet of lumber and 13,413 tons of
freight went through the locks.
For the year ending June 30, 1909,
the freight handled on the Southern
Pacific to and from Willamette 'Val
ley points aggregated 1,465,333 tons.
and during that time 1.948,313 passen
gers traveled to or from Willamette
Valley points on lines which compete
with river traffic.
Harold M. Sawyer, an attorney of
Portland and an expert on railroad
freight rates and combinations, has ac
cepted an invitation to be one of the
leading speakers at the big open river
andi freight rate convention, to be held
here Thursday, April 14.
All Valley cities are responding to
the invitation to the convention, and
Salem and Eugene have both sent word
to Manager Struble, of the Albany Com
mercial Club, that they will send mon
ster delegations. The Oregon City
Commercial Club has notified the local
club of the appointment of the fol
lowing delegates: Thomas F. Ryan,
John F, Clark. County Judge G. B.
IMmlck, w. A. Shewman, Jr.. Judsre J.
U. Campbell, George Randall and J. W.
Moffatt,
Oregon City may send two delegates
to Washington, 15. C, to work for the
appropriation for the purchase of t.o
Willamette locks at that city, and is
endeavoring to interest other Vallev
tn-jes m me project, xne Albany Com
mercial Club has received a communi
cation from the Oregon Cltv
cial Club, which wants Salem, Albany

TEMPEST LOSS SEVERE
JAP COAST STORM COUNTS OVER
1100 LIVES.
Terrible Hurricane or March 13 De
stroyed Xearly 100 Vessels and
Thousand or More Lives.
VICTORIA, B. C. March 31. retail
of the great storm of March 13 on the
Japanese coast. In which more than
1100 fishermen perished, were brought
by the steamer Tamba Maru today.
The tempest was most severe off
Chiba and Ibarag-i Prefectures, and the
official report that gave the loss as 84
vessels and 1100 men. is generally be
lieved to be too conservative.
lne wrecks of 34 fishing vessels
from Choshi, Chlba Prefecture, and 14
from other villages, which took out
600 men, have been found by patrols,
and similar news of disaster was
brought from Mito, In Ibaragi, where
vessels containing 400 men were miss
ing, and the majority known to be
wrecked.
When the hurricane broke 120 fish
ing vessels attempted to make their
way into Choshi harbor for refuge, but
nearly all were capsized off the har
bor entrance by heavy seas. Few
bodies were recovered.
The Japanese cruiser Takachihe was
hurried to the scene to patrol, and a
number of Red Cross nurses were sent
to succor those rescued. The cruiser
found 11 fishing boats, with the fisher
men on board frozen to death, and
numbers of drifting bodies were seen.
Telegrams from several villages re
port the drifting ashore of wrecked
boats laden with dead crews. In one
Doat a single sun-Ivor was found, but
he had become deranged as a result of
the privations endured. -Numerous in
cldents were reported of vessels which
had reached shore reporting terrible
experiences.
SUMMER GIRL IS EARLY
Seaside Entertains Portland Acade
my Young AVonien in Xnmlwrs.
SEASIDE, Or. March 31. (Special.)
Seaside is not sure whether the Sum'
nier season has started or not. The con
fusion is owing to the appearance in.
great numoers oi me summer girl in
lestivo attire.
Dinners at a prominent hotel, bonfires
and picnics on the beath are the features
of the all-around good time being had
by over a score of students of Portland
Academy. There are two house parties
of the young women and as many of the
older Teilows at the Portland school.
If there is anything to be done in Sea
side that the Jolly crowd has not per
formed in its lengthy stay. Seaside does
not know of it. Enthusiasm and bound'
less energy seem to be displayed by the
Portlanders. To Seaside's regret they
leave for home and school Sunday.

Large Part of Wheat Crop
Winter Killed.
ADVICES ARE DEFINITE

liveries Show Gains
at the Close.
CHICAGO, March SI. Crop damage re
port, from Kansas held the. wheat market
firm today and at th. close pricss were
Hc higher. Corn and oats were wealc
Provisions followed coarse grains and closed
weaK. .
Activity and strength in May was th
feature of trading in wheat. That option
showed greater firmness than the new crop
months at all stages and at the high point
was lHc above yesterday's final figures. The
new crop months were Influenced by fresh
reports concerning ttva condition of the
growing grain. Advices from Kansas were
of more definite character than heretofore
and showed that a large percentage of the
crop had been winter killed. These reports,
however, had been largely discounted. The
range on the July delivery today was &c
and for September c Weakness of corn
prompted some selling in the final half of
the day, but the market closed firm with
May at $1.14. July closed at Sl.OSVi and
September at 11.06.
Some firmness was shown at the outset in
the corn market, owing to the bulge in
wheat, but before th end of the first half
hour prices had started downward. The
market closed weak at almost the bottom
with prices 4c to c lower. May sold be
tween 62 62 He and 63 Sc and closed at

Decision on American Tobacco Case
Expected Monday May Have
Far-Reaching Effect.
NEW YORK. March 31. The stock mar
ket today further disclosed its narrow limi
tations. The traders operated on one side
of the market for a time and then shifted
to the other side, while real buyers and
sellers apparently refrained from taking any
action at all.
Grat uncertainty exists as to the si urn fl
ea nee of the decision of the Supreme Court
not to accompany the body of the late Jus
tice Brewer to its resting- place in Kansas.
The desire to avoid delay in the public busi
ness a-lves rise to a supposition that the
American Tobacco case may be decided on
Monday. The opinion Is universal in stock
market circles that the decision will be fol
lowed by a pronounced movement of the
market In one direction or the other.
Another matter receiving; much attention
was the number of railroads following the
example of the Pennsylvania by advancing
wages. That action was of mixed effect on
speculative sentiment. The views expressed
by labor representatives ascribed a motive
of caution to the action, as designed to
weaken prospective demands for larger in
creases than those recorded. That the step
would facilitate agreements, however, was
assumed.
Uneasiness over- the crop conditions was
revived by the failure of predictions or gen
eral rains In the Southwest and by the
cooler weather reported there.
Another wave of depression ema-naten from
he Qranby Mining episoae In the .Boston
market. The gravity of the incident was
Inferred from the news of its influence in
so remote a field as the Paris Bourse.
London sent reports, however, of confi
dent expectations of an early movement of
gold from New York to that center. An easy
discount rate in London today was attribut
ed to that prospect. The local money mar
ket was unaffected ty the preparations for
the neavy April payments.
-ttonas were easy, xotai sais. par vaiue.
