THE MORNING OREGONIAN. WEDNESDAY. JULY 31, 1912. 17 1 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 17 7 17 212 50 4H 7 8 110 ltiti COrXTRT GRAIN MARKETS ARE QUIET Buyers Are Holding Back Awaiting Develop mentsPrices Unchanged.

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.

The absence of any present movement from Illinois and Indiana proved of no avail to the bulls, the difference be. ing fully sunDlted from the huge yields west snd in Kansas.
