THE HORSING OKEGONIAX. FRIDAY. AUGUST 29, 1913.
HAY NEVER BETTER
Quality of Northwestern Crop
Is Superior.
YIELD SHOWS INCREASE
Steady Trices Are Expected to Pre
vail Throughout Season Views
of R. P. Knight on Market Out
look Offerings Are Large.
The hay market Is holding barely teady
in spite of the fact that offering at the
present time are large. Eastern Oregon
fanner are seeklne; to get rid of aome of
their timothy before rough -weather cornea
on. but in another 60 days or o. when this
aurplua I worked off. the market should
take oa a better tone.
"I teller prices will star practically
where they are throughout the season, un
less aome unlooked for demand springs up
said B. P. Knight, yesterday. Mr. Knight
spent three weeks In the hay-growing dis
tricts of Eastern Oregon, and say he
before saw conditions o favorable for good
quality. He believes the crop, so far as
quality la concerned. Is 100 per cent better
than Its usual condition. Last year about
90 per cent of It was either damaged by rain
or allowed to get too ripe. Mr. Knight said:
"The commercial crop in this territory,
as a whole. Is larger than It was last
year. In Wallowa County and Northern
Idaho, there is a big carry-over of tim
othy eed, enough for two year. Aa none
will be threshed, they will have more tim
othy to ship. About the usual quantity will
be fed this year." The "Willamette valley
haa a good average crop, principally grain
hay, and aU of It good quality. Not much
hay haa been sold In the valley yet. as the
farmers are holding too high. In comparison
with th pslces at which Eastern Oregon
timothy can be bought.
"Early In the aeason California figures
on shipping hay from here, but now they
will not listen to any kind of an offer.
California farmers cut a lot of grain for
hay that they had expected to thresh.
"Some of the first cutting of alfa'.-a
was damaged by rain., but not enough to
interfere with Its feeding value. This will
not have much. If any. effect on alfalfa
i verv little of the first cut
ting la even put on the market, but Is
fed by growers.

Coast this year. The Eastern crop Is
later than usual, and in order to get early
supplies, some of the firms have quoted
higher prtcea. but these quotations are re

look for lower barley prices later.

There was a little demand for bluestem. but
otherwise prices were nominal ana man m

HOPGROXRS' ATTITTOE IS FIRM
Crop of Continental Europe Entimated by
Barth at 740,000 Cwt
There were ordera for new-crop hops at
18 to 19 cents yesterday, and although the
latter price wn bid, growers could not be
Induced to aelL Holders of fuggles were
equally firm.
Samples of new California hops were re
eelved and proved to be of fine quality.
The quality of the Oregon crop Is also cer
tain to be choice, and If the growers will
Insist that their hops be picked clean they
will have no occasion to regret It.
A London cable reported English and
continental crop prospects more favorable.
A. cable from Alost said the Belgian crop
la coming down lighter than estimated.
Barth' s cable estimates the continental
crop at 740,000 cwt., distributed as fol
lows: Germany, 320.000 cwt.; Austria, 240,
tOO cwt.; Belgium, 40,000 cwt.: France, 50,-
000 cwt.. and Russia. 70.000 cwt.
Estimates of the English crop range from
SftO.OOO to 150,000 cwt.
The Kentish Observer of August 14 said
"The hops have been nearly at a stand
till during the last fortnight so far as
the development of the burr" Is concerned,
but there has been a further growth of
laterals (too late to produce any hops) and
of foliage. In fact this Is a year of foliage
rather than of fruit. The vine generally
is unfruitful In character, quite a contrast
to that of last year which was exceptionally
fruitful. Much of the vine has a too coarse
and harsh appearance, and is too dark In
color now and is still getting darker.
'Taking the reports from all districts a
crop of about nine cwt. per acre as an
all-around average seems to be the most
that can possibly be hoped for, and if a
generous supply of sunshine is not avail
able. It is impossible to say how much
smaller the yield may be. Disappointed
with the promise of the home crop, and
encouraged also by the unfavorable conti
nental reports, growers are anticipating a
high range of prices during the coming
season, ond very high ones will be required
to pay for a crop which must be the most
costly one ever produced."
OREGON WOOL SALES IN EAST
Large I1 In Idaho Clip Is Also Re

Mail Advices from Boston note the sale!

Upward Progress of Stocks Is
Continuous.
SENTIMENT VERY BULLISH
Improvement In Mexican Situation
Is Responsible for Advance.
Coppers Are Conspicuously
Strong Bonds Active.
NEW YORK. Aug. 28. Wall atreet
reached the conclusion today that this coun
try's relations with Mexloo had improved
sufficiently to justify a mors confident po
sition In the stock market.
Progress upward was uninterrupted from
the opening of the market to the close, and
material gains were scored in all depart
ments. Although it was realised that no
definite developmenta had occurred, senti
ment waa decidedly bullish.
Standard dividend-paying shares led 4n
the advance, with the Harrlman stocks and
the coppers conspicuous. The price of
standard copper warrants in London has
reached the highest figure of several
months, and some domestic producers were
said o be holding out for 16 cents.
Southern Pacific did not weaken with the
appearance of its July statement, ahowlirg
a decrease in net earnings of $786,000.
Reading was well in the front, despite ru
mors of a new Government suit.
Withdrawal of $1,000,000 gold for ship
ment to Canada was announoed. The ship
ment follows a recent sharp decline in Ca
nadian exchange on New York. Tha bank
loss on subtreasury operations has reached
an unusually large figure so far this week,
and a poor bank statement Is not unlikely.
The Bank of England made a particular
ly strong showing, the present proportion
of reserves to liabilities, given as 5U.46, not
having been equalled at this season for 17
years.
The bond market was active and firm.

Market Break in Corn.
CHICAGO. Aug. 28. A decline of lc
in September corn today under selling pres
sure from leading longs was the feature of
trading in grain. Other montha closed at
a net loss of Cc to c. Wheat
suffered a net loss of c to c but pro
visions closed strong and 0c to 15617c
up after a weak opening.
Liquidation In September corn began
early, lower cables and talk that the stock
of cash corn Is rapidly increasing giving
an Impetus to bearish sentiment. Tha close
was at or near the low point of the day.
Wheat eaaed on lower cables and contin
ued favorable crop reports from the North
west. Sales of more than 0U5.OUO bushels
for export checked the decline for a time,
but profit-taking on the brief rally brought
about a good reaction.
The dip in other grain carried oats down
also. As in corn and wheat, there was
considerable liquidation of September.
Packers gave support to the provision
nekr near the close and DrlCeS rOSO Stead
