THJS 310KMAU OK15UO.N1AN, WEDNESDAY, AUGt'h'i :c0, 1913. 19 PICKING TIME NEAR Hop Growers Hold Out for 20 Cents but Don't Get It. DEALERS REFUSING TO BUY Weather Conditions Ideal for Heavy Crop In Oregon Market Uncer tain and Xo Business Un til After Harvest. Hopffrowera trho hare bn holding out for the pact few weeks for 20-cent market now will Harvest their crop before ofrenn their product tvr eale. The buyers are un willing; at this time to pay SO cents and the farmers axe confident that they should set at least that figure. As a result there is very little buslnes movwij. The market is wot definitely fixed at any particular figure. It may be said to vary from 1 cents to 20 cents. No business is passing above 20 cents and nothing has been done below 18 cents. What the openlnr ftuxes will be depends largely upon the condition of the hops in bales. Thus far Indications point to a par ticularly rood crop In Oregon both in quality and quantity. Growers declare that the weather Is Ideal for their needs. They ara preparing now for the picking season, tt Is probable that same picking will be dona within the next 12 days. The hops around Independence and Delias are begin ntng to turn. The big yards area making extensive preparations to harvest their yields. Growers around Independence are Insist Ing on 0 cents as the minimum figure at which they will permit their hops to pads out of their hands. Some early contracts were made around there at 20 cents and those who have not already contracted feel that they should get the same amount. Advices from England and the continent of Europe Indicate very favorable weather tn that section. German dealers are trying to sell hops fn this country. These condi tions are not very favorable to the bull elsnient. The following from the last Issue of the Watervllle Hop Reporter tells of the situa tion In New York State: "While most favorable growing weather has prevailed for the past week. It has also been favorable for mildew and In a number of yards this appears to have spread to some extent. Many of the growers who are keeping close watch of their yards were quick to notice this new development and by prompt and thorough spraying were able to check it most effectively. A few yards where the sulphur was not applied in time show the effects quite badly and ara al redy beginning to look off color. For the most part, however, the mold does not ap pear to have secured the foothold that It bad at this season last year. "Generally speaking, the yards ara doing finely and are of excellent color. The hops are large and there ara comparatively few leaves, making a very showy crop. "The cold weather early in the Spring stunted the growth to such an extent that the crop will be light throughout the state. Ktimats vary from 20 per cent to 35 per cent short of last year, although it la yet early to make a, careful survey of the probable yield. APPLES TO BE C AXLED "SKOOKCM" Northwestern Growers Adopt Trade Name for Beet Frrxluct.

It la something better than good. At a meeting of the board of directors of the Northwestern Fruit Exchange over TOO names were received In a competitive name campaign. Nothing else was sub mitted that would coma within a mile of so tersely expressing the quality of the world's Jest apples. Organisations of two states Oregon and Washingtonhave already sig nified their Intention of using the name.

The Rogue River Fruit and Produce Association, the Hood River Fruitgrowers' Exchange, the M osier Fruitgrowers' Associ ation, Cashmere Fruitgrowers' Union, Yak ima Fruitgrowers Exchange and the Fe ahastin Fruitgrowers' Association ara in cluded In the first real attempt ever made to advertise the apple by a trade name.

RUN AT YARDS IS LIGHT MUTTON" IS SOLD IN BIG LOTS BCT PRICE IS LOW. . Botb Hog and Cattle Markets Show Signs of Improvement Due to Eastern Hot Weather. In contrast to th heavy run of cattl. on Monday, thero was but a. slight offering of beet and veal stock at the Portland Union Stockyards yesterday and trading was very Quiet. Mutton enjoyed a brisk run yesterday, but prices maintained the standard that has prevailed through the lnst tew weeks. Lambs brought a fairly good figure, several lots going at to. Wethers fluctuated around f3.7& and 13.60. In the nog department there was little activity. A few sales were made at SS.oo, but there was a firm undertone. Th. prevailing sentiment is that the mar ket for both hogs and cattle will advance within the next few weeks. Xhis Is due to the continued drouth In the Middle West and Southwest. Hot weather has created a probable shortage In the corn supply and has caused a lot of cattle to suitor. Prices on the Chicago market already are start ing to advance. The local market ta ex pected to go up In sympathy. Yesterday's receipts consisted of 1111 sheep, 214 hogs, 7 cattle and four calves. The following shippers were represented at the yards yesterday: L Steuver, Condon, three cars of sheep; John Hayes, Heppner. one car of sheep; M. IS. Gale.

Selling; by Influential Longs Causes Corn Market to Sa"r; Rain Also Has a Bearish Effect. CHICAGO, Aug. 1$. Grain markets were today lower all around. Corn, though It had lost much of Its recent activity, continued to be the center of Interest. Net losses of to SO wera recorded In corn. ft to e in wheat, and In oats. Pro vision, closed Irregular 2 lower to 7 higher. Selling of corn by Influential longs de pressed that market after a little bulge In September. Selling pressure was felt early In th. aesslon, the bears accepting reports of scattering rains In tbe corn belt (most of it, however, outside of tha Southwest) ss being beneficial, though some experts held that tbe fall was too light to help the drought-parched crop much. Much of the bearish feeling displayed by the market was due to a belief that a re action was due as the long continued period of bullish control. Bids from the South at figures over Chicago prices failed to rally the market nor did the fact that cash re ceipts were very light help the bulls. In spite of some anxiety over probable damaging results of too much rain in the Canadian Northwest wheat waa on the down grade nearly the entire session. An advance of o In Liverpool closing prices did not sustain th, local - market, and it sagged with corn. Prospects of increased wheat stocks in the Southwest by the middle of Seotember also served to send prices down- Free selling of oats weakened prices after a strong opening and oats also followed tbe dip In. corn. Investment buying and covering by shorts gave strength to provisions for most of the day. but at the close Tree ottexings caused reactions in most of the list.
