T CLEAN HOPS
Ea.tern Brewers Protest
Against Careless Picking.
SEVERAL STEPS PROPOSED
31 ay Appeal to the Legislatures of the
Western States or the Pur Food
Authorities at Washington In
terests of Growers at Stake.
Eastern brewors and bop dealers are aaii
Citmtinc the question of cleaner picking
of Ore r on and Washington hops. This
a matter of vttmj importance to them and
to the Oregon growers as well, aa the qual
ity of hops has everything to do with the
price.
There Is said to be a move on foot anions;
the brewers and dealers In the East to
brinjr the matter In some way before th
Legislatures of Oregon and Washington. The
consumers assert that If the farmers sell
them hops they should be strictly bops and
not leaves and stems, as are found in
large part of the hops shipped from the
Pacific Coast.
It Is farther declared by the Eastern deal
ers and brewers that If they can get no re
dress from the Western Legislatures they
win take the matter before the pure food
authorities at Washington.
There should be no need for this pro
cedure, so far as Oregon hops are concerned.
Many of the growers In this state invariably
have their hops picked clean and all of
them no doubt would do so If they realised
that cleanly picked hops meant more money
In their pockets.
In summarising conditions in the hop
trade and estimating the Oregon crop
100.000 bales and the Washington crop
20.000 baiea. the Semiannual Trade Review,
issued by the Portland office of R. G. Dun
eV Co.. says:
August Is the month which has the most
effect in determining the volume of the
crop, and the harvest weather of Peptem
her ta of first Importance in reference U
quality. The late rains of June were es
pecially favorable to vtne growth and the
Barm days of early July have prevented
jama its from lice.
Hi nee the first of the year there has
been a downward trend of prices. In De
cember the brewers were panicky and
sought freely regard leas of prices, but hav
ing replenished their stocks, and with the
prospect of a sufficient supply, they with
Irew from the market and late holders
found It difficult to unload. The best fea
ture in the outlook is the tremendous clear
ing of old stocks snd the heavy drafts made
)y brewers on reserve supplies, caused by
:ne tear ox a shortage. Stocks in dealers
lands since 1A1 are reported cleaned up.
Contract prices for ID 12 crop opened at
!7 cents, but of late nothing better than
! rents has bnen offered, with one large
ll at 1? cents. If present indications are
xrne out. the prospect is for a price or
rm lo cents to 21 cents, but It Is claimed
:h:s is base J on the most optimistic esti
mates, and since any change must be ad
verse and tend to a shorter crop, a price of
'. cents Is reasonably expected, with a pos
nbility of even hiRher figures prevailing
Reports from England and the Continent
lave been continuously favorable to a good
rrnp. With the opening of July, however,
utle advices from Kngland bring rumors
f white mould attackinc the vines. One
f the largest English dealers has within
;he last year Joined the ranks of Oregon
rowers. The European growers generally
re reported active in contracting for future

and no complaints are heard.

NEW YORK. July r.0. Trading in stocks
today fell to the point when; it ceased to
possess even passing importance. For the
nrsl four hours the dealings were less -than
110.000 shares, of which almost half was
done In the first hour. In the late dealings
when prices again hardened to the best ol
the seaalon, business became more anl-mated.
The one reason advanced lay in the fact
that traders and the financial community
were awaiting the publication of the United
stales Hteel earnings for the secona quar
ter. This report waa not available until
after the market closed, ' so the professional
eVment deemed It wise to make no new
ven Lures.
In the local money market there was
further stiffening of rates for the longer
periods, the fact coinciding with the out
lock for tighter money In the West. Call
loans were made here at 3 per cent.
The sieel statement showed total earnings
s'lahtiv In excess of $25,000,000, which was
In Iln-t with most favorable forecasts. Net
ircomee. ordinarily known as nei earnings.
amounted to $18,428,294. compared with
$12.103,415 In the preceding quarter. After
paying regular dividends the quarterly sur
plus was reduced to 36.4ti3.
The bond market was unchanged, save for
further weaknesu In Missouri Pacific 4s. To
tal sales, par value, were al.65.00O. United
