'SHORTAGE OF HOPS
f Crop of Europe Estimated by
Herman Klaber.
, WOT UP TO REQUIREMENTS
Vigures leased on "Known Acreage
and Average Yields of Fast Vears
Indicate a Material Deficiency
in Production This Year.
Herman Klaber has prepared an esti
mate of the European hop crop which Indi
cates a material deficiency in the supply
this rear. In making his estimate Mr. Kla
ber has not taken Into account possible
weather conditions, but has based his fig
ures on the average yields of past years
and the known acreage of this year. Should
cllmatlo conditions prove unfavorable it
will only Increase the shortage. Mr. Kla
ber s statement follows:
England The acreage in 1909 was 82.539,
and we will assume -that this has been in
creased to U3.UU0 acres this year. The aver
age yield per acre for each five-year period
from J8."l has been as follows: 18S1 to
3855. 7.26 cwt; 1858 to ISoU. cwt; 18tt
to 1870, o.liii cwt.; 1871 to 1873, e.2o cwt.;
1876 to 1880, 6.5 cwt.: 1S81 to 1885, 6
wt.; ISStt to 18W0, 7.25 cwt.; 18U1 to 1805,
f.2r. cwt.; 1896 to 1900. 8.50 cwt.; 1901 to
3HOS, 9.60 cwt.; 3906 to 1909". 8.25 cwt.
This makes the average for the past 54
Sears about 7.50 cwt. In the past century
ttiere have been only 13 crops of over 10
cwt. per acre, and most of these were be
tween 10 and 11 cwt. According to present
reports. England will not grow, under even
favorable conditions, over 10 cwt., and
'agers are being offered that the total crop
will not exceed yoO.ooo cwt. To be con
servative, we will assume that the crop will
be 800.000 cwt.
Austria The acreage in 1fm was about
54.O0U and the crop was about "150.000 cwt.
The average yield for the past 25 years was
K74 pounds per acre, and for the past de
cade 456 pounds. On the present acreage
a conservative estimate would be 240.000
cwt.
Germany The acreage in 1909 was 72.
S7:l. as against an i.verage of 105,000 acres
from 1884 to 1S95 and 95,000 acres from
IMiO to 1907. The large decrease occurred
after the 1907 crop was harvested. The
latest reports indicate a reduction of about
200O acres. so the 1910 acreage will be
about 70.000. The average yield per acre
has been as follows: 1884 to 1890, 4 8a
cwt; 1891 to 1893, 4.50 cwt.; 1896 to 1900.
. cwt.; 1901 to 1IHI5. 4.56 cwt; 1806 to
1900. 4 cwt.. or an average for the entire
period of 4.50 cwt. Therefore on the pres
n acreage the crop should be U15.000 cwt.
Belgium The acreage in 1909 was 4400
s against 5500 ncres in 1908 and 02OO acres
In 1905. The average yield for the past 10
ears. including several bumper crops, was
1..00 pounds per acre, and on the present
acreage 60.000 cwt. is a very conservative
estimate.
o.urance Th." Pr,!"nt acreage Is about
ssoo. as against 7.tS.'l acres in 1905. The
iverage yield for 10 years was 1180 pounds
scr acre. We will estimate the coming
-rop at 50.000 cwt.. which Is considerably
given 'above' eatlmate rlel- Pr ""a
,h"""?'u Tho Government does not issue
official returns. and In high years an
bundance of wild hops are picked and
consumed so It Is Impossible to get au
llientic Information on the prospective yield
An average of the past 20 year, must su?:
ru.e for-an estimate of the 1910 crop, which
we place at 70,000 cwt.
Recapitulation The estimates as given
above may be summarized as follows-

SEATTLE, "Wash., May U. f Special.)
Iraprowsment waa noted today In the -wheat
market. Bluestem advanced to SS cents.
Flour la In better demand than for some
weeks. Late estimates of the available
wheat supply in the Northwest are larger
than are ne rally thought. According to
figures recently compiled, the available sup
ply, after seeding, is placed at not " less
than 15.000, 0U0 bushels, with between 5,000,
000 and 6.000.000 bushels of this held by
farmers, -which will probably not be moved
until the dealers and speculators have dis
posed of their Rraln.
Oregon onions advanced to S cents a
pound today. This- is tho highest price
asked here for the present crop. 9
Oranges have advanced again. The
choicest small sizes were quoted today at
$3.75 & 4. The best lemons aiv also quoted
at an advance from 55.60. The first
straight car of Los Angeles new potatoes
arrived today. Berries were steady, with a
good shipping demand.
The Dairy produce Exchange today es
tablished one price, 30 cents, for all Wash
ington. Oregon and California creamery but

egg receipts continued heavy, although re
ceipts from Oregon have decreased since
the price was cut.
Salmon packers state that the maximum
Alaska pack, of red salmon for tlta coming
season has already been sold, subject to ap
proval of the opening price. Packers are
fighting shy of orders at SI. 25 for early
delivery, anticipating that spot goods may
command an even larger premium as soon
as available In July.

Preliminary Estimates of Currency
Movement Indicate Another
Large Gain in Cash by the
Xew York Banks.
NEW YORK, May 13. Idleness and neg
lect eclipsed all signs of interest In the
tock market 'today. Sonne of the lighter
minded of the trading fraternity found no
better explanation for the abstention from
the market than the fact that It was Fri
day the 18th.
The influence of the London situation on
specultlve sentiment was Increased by the
evidence of a hardening money market at
that center. The foreign exchange market
was rather disordered and fluctuated with
violence at recoveries from the recent low
points. . The more authoritative reports of
the large volume of American bonds being
placed aboard were without influence. In the
exchange market. It was said that this was
d ua to provision for deferred payments on
some of these subscriptions and consequent
postponement of the offerings of exchange
bills against the payments.
Preliminary estimates pointed to another
large gain in cash for the week by the
clearinghouse banks. The money market
showed no change in condition.
ide movements in a few individual
stocks supplied the onlv features of interest
in the market. The sharp rise in Canadian
Pacific was coupled with reports that a dis
bursement of profits out of land sales was
Intended. The W abashes were affected again
by revived reports of control passing to the
Rock Island interests. Texas & Pacific land
trust certificates were run up on a few trans
actions tor no other reason than that a re
port that they were being bought by the
trustees.
The bait in the speculation was due partly
to the inconclusiveness of crop conditions.
Reports of insect damage to Winter wheat
and low temperature ln the Southwest were
noted. The week's exports of wheat expand
ed more than 1,000,000 bushels over those of
the wee7' before.
The T ulge in the Canadian groups pulled
prices up in tlie latter part of the day,
but the movem ent was inclusive and the
day s net changes were mostly trivial.
Bonds were irregular. Total sales, par
vaiue. si.B4tf.ow. united mates bonds were
unchanged on call.

Par surpa-tinr mining, industrial or agricultural profits are those now being
made by oil investments.
The profits beln made now by California OH tompaniee, which are sobstan
tially evidenced by the payments to' stockholders of a.bout one million dollars
monthly, far outrank these-other wealth producers. The question, therefore, before
every investor, should now be where can I secure a safe oil sioi-k investment, yet
one that will pay me big returns? Coalinga Central stock, which can now he oufrtit
at prices around 55c (par $1.00) presents Just such an opportunity. This Company
ls.offlcered by the highest grade men in the business, their 12i-acre property in
the center of the Coal in a field Is among the choicest In fhe state. Two wells are
now producing, two more are being drilled and arrangements made for seven mor
to be drilled by Kali, By that time we predict that tiiia stock mill be on a divi
