Mil! LOSE MARKETS
Oregon Growers Must Improve
Quality of Heps.
BREWERS MAKE PLAINT
Think the Standard or Our Prod
uct - Is Deteriorating Eastern
Dealers Find It Hard to
Make Sales.
Unless Oregon hopgrowers, a3 . whole, take
teps to Improve the quality1 of their product,
they may find the Eastern markets closed to
them. This is the ultimatum delivered by
the Eastern dealers, according: to H. X. Hart,
a well-known Portland hopman, who has Just
returned from an extended trip through the
Eastern States, where ho saw most of the
large Kastern dealers and brewers.
"The general lmpres1on eeems to prevail
in the Eastern trade." $alJ Mr. Hart, "that
the quality of the Oregon crop In deteriorating
on account of the carelessness of the growers.
Many of the brewers- I talked with told me
they believed the Oregon crop was going back
ward, the same as Washington hops, and that
the growers here would won have to go out
of buBtneaa. It was hard to make them be
lle v that It waa only beoau the yards had
been neglected for several years, ewlng to the
low price, and that the fault was not with
the hop.
"If we have a good crop this year and' the
grower pick and handle it right and cure It
properly, we can show the East that we can
grow as good hops as we ever did, but if Ore
gon turns out another inferior crop like lost
year's, the Industry in this state will get a
black eye that it may not recover from. There
In not a particle of doubt that Oregon last
year lost the sale of fully 10,000 bales in favor
of Sacramento, Yolo a ad Russian, River, where
they take proper care of their hops. Many
big dealers In the East told me their Oregon
business this yax was light olely because the
brewers objected to the quality of the hops.
"Many lots of hops thnt would otherwise
tiave been good were spoiled after pjeking was
tarted. hops that would have graded prime
being cut down to medium because of the
presence of Moms and leaves.
"The growers by this time should realise
the necessity of spraying. The 1909 crop
would have been normal In quality If the hops
had been properly sprayed, for that would like
wise have made both the picking and the cur
ing more satisfactory.
"The Eastern buyers would willingly pay a
premium of 2 to 3 cents for Oregon hops over
Callfornlas if the quality of our hops were
right. It seems to me that It is up to the
growers to do something this year to recover
their former reputation for producing superior
hops. Otherwise they might as well quit
the business."
ENQUIRIES FROM MEXICO FOR AVltKAT
Itut Owing; to Lack of Steamer Line No
Buftine i Worked Here.
There is some Inquiry from Mexico for
wheat, but owing to the lack of a steamer
line from this port, no business la being
worked here. The orders that have lately
been sent up will be filled on the Sound. May
SI will mark tho expiration of the period dur
ing which wheat can be cent Into Mexico
auty free. There Is said to have been some
buying done In the country for European ship
ment and it is probable that further tonnage
engagements will be announced. Local wheat
prices were unchanged yesterday. The oats and
arley markets were steady at laet prices.

New York. Hop Crop Conditions.
Crop conditions In New York State are re
ported by the Waterville Times as follows:
"With the pleasant weather, work in the hop
yards has been resumed. A talk with one of
our larger hopgrowers today confirmed our for
mer favorable reports as to the condition of
i he ruott. He said he had never seen hops
looking better at this time of the year than
they do now, that there were exceptionally
few niisulng hills and that the vines showed a
strong vitality and were coming on finely.
There is no change to report in regard to the
market, as no sales have token place in some
weeks.

SEATTLE. April 26. (Special.) Wheat

as 8 5 cents. The demand was limited,

Declines in Stocks Recovered
in a Convulsive Advance.
COMMODITY PRICES DROP
Aggressive Buying: of TTnitod States
Steel Quarterly Statement Sliows
Vnfilled Orders Are Greater
Than Expected.
NEW TOP.K, Apri! 26. A nervoun tempera
ture in the speculation is indicated by the
udfien and violent hifis in the price move
ment which tocks are undergoing. The severe
tieclinea of Monday were almost entirely re
covered in a convulsive advance at the open
ing: today, reflecting the unwillingness of the
bears to maintain the position they had taken
iy short aales the day before.
Quotations for cotton and grain" negatived
the Idea of disastrous damage to the crops,
such as had been implied, and the covering
movement by the beans wa3 then extended.
Ap;tresive buying of "United States leel and
revived rejtorts that the dividend was- to, he
increased helped on the recover-. The bulls
aLo made the most of the reduction in the
price paid for American eagles by the Bank
of Rngland and the assumption that it Im
plied a cessation of the gold export movement.
The reassuring effect on sentiment of the de
cline in cotton and grain prices passed away
to some extent with the publication of weather
forecast of the continuance and extension of
the cold wave. The tone of the "Weather Bu
reau's weekly bulletin gives mo serious a view
of the situation as to awaken renewed anxiety.
The addition of $2,000,000 to the engage
ment of gold for shipment to London tomor
row brought the total for the week to $14,500,
OCK. which continues a. record outgo for one
week, -with the single exception of the week
ending May 21, l!k4, when 15,3t3,8JO was
shipped to France in making the payment for
the Panama Canal. .
Preparations tor the monthly settlement and
the political unrest in England were factors
in sustaining the discount rate in the London
market. Oall loans here were but a trifle
firmer, but the gold outflow has reached such
formidable proportions as to prove porten
tous. The change from early belief that
the movement was ended to the prospect of
further gold shipments was an element in the
later transformation of speculative sentiment.
The United States Steel dividend action and
the quarterly statement, published after the
stock market closed, threw no light on its
action. Earnings were less than the prelim
inary guesses, put the unfilled orders on hand
had not fallen to as low a stage as official in
timations had euggested they might.
