Newspaper Page TextTHE MORNING OREGONIAN, TUESDAY, JUNE 21, 1910. 19 HOLD FOR ADVANCE Eastern Reports Cause Better Feeling in Wheat Trade. BUT BUSINESS IS SMALL Ilalnfall In the Interior Is General. Foreign Crop Conditions. Active Demand for Green Produce. The local grain offices had report! from the interior yesterday that the rainfall wm general. Coming at the opportune time It made the prospects decidedly bright; No weakness was occasioned, however, as these conditions were more than offset by the strong; ad-rices for the East. The big advance, at Chicago led to a much bet ter feeling on the part of speculative holders and growers, who are now more inclined to hold on and ask for better prices. Bids were not raised by local buyers and busi ness was small. Bluestem was quoted at tl cents and club wheat was held at 78 cents, though there was a sale of club at San Francisco on tha basis of 76 cents I. o. b. Foreign crop conditions are summarized by tha Liverpool Corn Trade News as fol lows: United Kingdom The outlook for the crops is fair. The weather continues sea. sonable. France There have been heavy storms. with excessive moisture, and there are some complaints of rust and a thin plant. In the north and east the outlook is fair to good. Germany The rye -jrop is suffering from continued drouth as well as Spring crops, but Winter wheat is claimed to be un harmed. There is an improved foreign de mand. . Roumanla Heavy rains still continue to fall, which have become excessive In some parts and causing deterioration to the grow ing crops. Russia The weather In the southwest is very favorable and tbe crop outlook good. Supplies at the ports are small. Italy In the south there has been a heavy rain, which is unfavorable for the crops; in the north, the crop outlook has improved, while in the center the outlook is only moderate. India Indications point to an early visit of the monsoon, which has caused moderate selling by holders.' . Argentine The weather In the south is very -dry, which is causing some anxiety. There was not much doing in the local oats or barley markets, and both were quoted weak. Local receipts In cars were reported by the Merchants' Exchange as follows: Wheat Barley Flour Oats Hay Monday 11 2 g 2 5 Year ago 2 .... 12 2 20 Season to date 9973 1316 2170 145$ 2690 Year ago 10624 1537 1639 871 789 HOP INDUSTRY IX AUSTRIA. Special Protection for the Saaz, Auscha and Danba Product. In answer to an inquiry. Consul J. I. Brit tain furnishes the advanced statistics cover ing the hops and hop trade of Austria Hungary during the past year. It is said that the finest quality of hops produced in Europe are grown in Bohemia, vis, Saaz, Auscha and Dauba, respectively. In order to protect the two first-named of these from fraudulent imitations, there is a special law which authorizes the official inspection and sealing of each package of hops therefrom, the cost of which is about 51 cents per 220 pounds. In order to pre vent frauds the Bohemian hop producers are endeavoring to procure the enactment of an inspection and sealing law, which will ap ply to all hops produced In Bohemia, as well as those from Saaz and Auscha. The exports of Bohemian hops to the United States in 1908 amounted to $492,271, against a total of 686.837 In 1909. While the value was greater in- 1909 the quantity was less than in 1908. . Owing to the failure of the crop in 1909 the prices were very high. During the hop season in 1908, September, October. Novem ber and December, the average price was $18.07, $16.24, $14 and $11. IT. respectively, and in 1909. $40.60, $48.72, $50.34 and $48.61 for the same months. At times choice Saaz hops sold In 1909 at $60 and even $70 per 100 pounds. The following statement shows the acrer age planted and the yield of hops in Austria Hungary in 1909: ' Yield Total Total, per acre. yield. District acreage. Pounds. Pounds.
