19 THE MORNING OREGONIAN. WEDNESDAY. AUGUST 7, 1912. HIDES STRONG EAST Markets on Coast Have Not Yet Responded. SALES NOT EASY TO MAKE Packer Stock Has Been Freely Bought Up by Farmers In the Eastern States at Generally Advancing Prices. The Coast hide markets have not re sponded yet to the recent bulge In the East. Dealers here have been trying to get prices up. but tjhey have been unable so far to make sales on the basis of Eastern prices. Therefore, they" take the view that the flurry In the East Is only temporary and that there will be a reaction there. The present condition is unusual, as the Coast markets, until recently, have been firmer than the markets in the East. Although the market locally Is Veak and sales are difficult, dealers continue to buy. Offerings are on a larger scale, as country butchers are killing more, as they always do during harvest. The strength of the Eastern market Is attributed to the close clean-up of packer stock. The packers have been forcing their hides on tanners as -fast as taken off. The advance there will depend on how high the tanners can force up the price of leather. I'nles they ran maintain a high leather market, they will have to cut down their hide purchases. Mail advices received from Chicago say of conditions In the hide market: "Trading of late in the hide market has been more active th'an at any previous time in several years. As previously stated, the sales of Chicago and other western packer hides were large last week, but later de velopments showed that the actual busi ness had been underestimated and the total footed up to close to "OO.OOO packer hides, which, with over lOO.OOO moved the week previous, made total transactions for a fort night of over .100,000 hides. Advanced prices were paid and the operations of the tanners In buying resembled somewhat of a scramble to secure supplies. "Some further business has also developed this week, but It is not expected that sales will be as large as heretofore, aa many buy ers are now fairly well supplied and the Parkers have little to offer, unless It be August bides ahead. One sale this week of sn.ooo native bulls was made by one packer of salting from last January up to next January at prices ranging from 124 cents to 13 cents for previous to June take off and from 14 i cents to 14 cents for June forward salting. These prices repre sent an advance of one-half cent over sim ilar sales last week. Some July light na tive cows have also been sold up to 17 cents, the highest price ever known to have been obtained for this selection. Coun try hides are also stronger, with sales of buffs in Chicago running 60 per cent, short haired at 14 cents and some previously re ported sales of all short-haired up to 14 cents. "The strength and activity In packer hides have caused a firmer feeling In all of the markets of the world and higher prices are being asked In Europe and South America. Latin -American dry hides are unchanged, however. In the New York market, but there are only limited quantities of these being received at present.

According to a California wire spots were offered In that state at reduced prices. The following cable was received from London : "The weather Is cold and not favorable. There Is no prospect for a bumper crop. Prospects are for 10 cwt, to acre as max imum yield." The present condition of the New York crop Is reported as rollowa by F. M. Blodgett, of the New York Elata College of Agriculture: "The prospect for this year's crop seems good at present. The dry weather early In the season held back the growth of vines to some extent, but since the recent show ers the yards are looking better. The 'hop borer has been quite plentiful this year, and many yarda have been weakened by lta attack. It seems to be one of the most serious pests of the hopgrowers here at present. The mold does not appear to be spreading much except in a few exceptional cases. Traces have been found In nearly all yards, but sulphur has been applied so repeatedly that It has spread little so far. I'nless unusual weather prevails no such general loss Is to be expected from mold, either about Waterville or Mllford and Port landvtlle. as occurred last year. The ver min have decreased so that they do not appear In any way alarming except in a few cases of small acreage. Some growers are still prepared to spray If there appears to be any Increase In their numbers."

The course of to day's stock market was attended by con siderable Irregularity and dullness after the first hour. Opening prices showed many small gains and losses, the former pre dominating, but before noon the tone be came reactionary with heaviness most marked in St, Paul, on publication of poor June earnings and pressure against Steel. In the early afternoon some support was offered to standard shares, which resulted in short- covering and a return of the gen eral level to about last night's close. This was again offset In the final dealings by heaviness in Union Pacific. Canadian Pa cific and the sugar Issues, which sent prices back to the low level and resulted in a rather heavy close.
