THE MORNING OREGOXIAN, SATURDAY, APRIL 25, 1914. HOP GROWERS WAIT No Pressure to Sell New Crop in Oregon. LOWER PRICES INDICATED Dealers Figure on Possible Business at 14 Cents, but There Are So Sellers at This Price Spot '.' Market Is Neglected. J. There la some interest displayed again In the hop contract market, but there la no particular activity in the demand, nor Jii there any selllne- pressure on the part of growers, jf business of any volume should te -worked it -would proDably be at a lower ranee of values. A few dealers are still talk. Snip 35 cents, but he general quotation on the new crop is 14 cents, with perhaps half a. cent better obtainable on a favored yard. While a number of growers have Indicated - they would contract at the higher price named, no offerings at the lower figure are likely to be made. The trade is divided in opinion as to the advisability of taking1 on new hops at these quotations. Aside from cases where pur chases might be made to cover sales already effected, such operations would be a pure icamble. as the future of the market is wholly uncertain. The crops, which are yet to be made, at present promise very well. Consumption may, or may not, be seriously effected by the prohibition movement. An other undetermined factor is the financial and industrial condition that may result front the wjar. As for the spot market, it has completely ' flattened out- There are no orders on hand now, so far as known, even at concessions from lately prevailing prices. Not many hops remain , in the hands of Oregon grow ers., only about 6000 bales, and speculators and dealers at the most do not have over 800O bales in addition. With an active Eastern and foreign demand this quantity WOiilri bn Iniilffnlfiranr whuii r-n m no rod with the total crop, but with demand lack ing and the new season drawing on, this supply is sufficient to act as & depressing weight on the market. Holders are making no efforts .yet to unload at less than previ ous prices, hoping that new-crop develop ments will favorably affect the situation. The coming month will throw some light on this phase of the question. LOOKING -AHEAD IN WOOL MARKET Buyers Not So Certain as They Were of the Future Prices. Kastern wool dealers are beginning to wonder whether or not they have paid too much for wools in the West. They have kept up with the advancers in growers' asking prices and the market, particularly in this part, of the country, shows no signs of re ceding. At the other end, however, they are commencing to figure on the possibility of foreign competition when it comes to selling the domestlo wools they have bought. A writer In an Eastern trade paper says on the subject: t uDtrftGLmg operation, especially those which have been without the least regard to conditions in this market or the probable future basis of wool here, are still open to Criticism. The Pnrlv nnpralnrt Af wall ma 1st led with the prospects. In fact they be moan having failed to buy more extensively before the rates advanced in the West. Fur thermore, the situation stands in their favor for the moment in this center, with the likelihood of a ready turnover of the firs UTJvalS. at a profitable .lf.Vf.l-.nf nrfrM "Conservative interests, however, see an obstacle ahead for the wools secured at higher prices. Foreign wools are going to be a. substantial factor in the reckoning. The first wools are expected to bring good prices because of the demand for finishing the season on lightweight goods. Manu facturers may pay high levels on these, but pressure will be exerted by them, so soon '.as pressing needs are well covered. If deal ers hold for prices not Justified by the con. dltlons in the goods market, manufacturers will have foreign wools upon which to fall back." WHEAT TRADE TjXDER DIFFICULTIES Smallness of Stocks. Lack of Demand and Buyers and Sellers Apart. The wheat market has reached that point where It is about as difficult to sell as to buy. The demand is anything but hrlsk .and efforts to dispose of even small quantities in this part of the country meet with failure, unless material concessions are made. On the other hand, when a dealer receives an Inquiry, which is some thing unusual these days, he finds it al most impossible to buy. unless he bids above the market level for the grain. These con ditions are tho result, not only of the In activity of the market, but of the extreme scarcity of wheat. The supply is so small that not even a war scarce would bo likely to affect prices. The cut in Oriental rates produced only a-Wiomentary ripple on the market, whereaVSad there been much wheat left here, the freight reduction would undoubtedly have, had wide effect. There is still some inquiry on the Sound for wheat for Oriental account, but none here. The prices bid by the Japanese In the North are not acceptable to sellers. The California market continues firm, largely because of the limited arrivals. Weekly . foreign wheat shipments . were na follows: This week.Last week. Last year.

Half a car of Los Angeles berries arrived yesterday and cleaned up at $1.131.23 a crate. This winds up the shipments from that point as rains have checked the move ment and Sacramento districts are now offering plentifully. Part of a car came In from Fresno, and sold at 1.751.90. A full car of Fresno berries is expected to day, A car of letture was received yesterday. A car of yellow Texas onions Is due today, a car of crystal wax onions on Monday and a mixed car of yellow and white onions from Texas on Wednesday. Vegetables of nearly all kinds were scarce on the street. No tomatoes will be available until the middle of next week. Poultry Receipts Are Light. Receipts of poultry were lighter than usual yesterday, but were of sufficient size, as the demand was not strong. Prices were - quoted unchanged. The egg market was steady at former quotations. A lower range of cheese prices is expect ed next week on the arrival of a large hipment from Tillamook by the Elmore. Bank Clearings.

RETAIL TRADE GOOD General Business Not Dis . turbed by Mexican War. STOCK MARKET UNSETTLED Sharp Fluctuations in Security Prices Paris May Withdraw Gold Trom This Side as Sterling Ex change Is, on Elxport Basis. NEW YORK, April 24. Dun's Review to morrow will sa,y: General business Is not disturbed by the Mexican trouble, but temporary unsettle ment prevails in financial markets. Prices of securities fluctuated sharply at times. Po litical influences had some effect on rates for money, which advanced slightly. There hss been an Insistent continental demand for gold at London and It Is the expectation that Paris will shortly begin to withdraw the metal from this side, as sterling exchange Is now virtually on an export basis. Changes in strictly mercantile conditions are of mixed character, with the backward Spring tending to hold progress in check. Failures this week number S33 In the United States, against 307 last year and 40 in Canada, compared with 46. TRADE CONDITIONS LITTLE CHANGED yarmer Weather and Ciood Crop Prospects Help Some Sections. NEW YORK, April 24. Bradstreet's will say tomorrow: Aside from an Improvement noted in retail trade west, northwest and southwest, the result of warmer, more Spring-like weather and flattering early-crop prospects, trade and industry has not shown any particular change this week. Indeed the quieter con ditions heretofore ruling have been rather accentuated by the uncertainty evident as to the outlook for war or peace, and aside from a slight, apparently temporary fillip given commodity prices and some bear drives against prices of securities, 'the situation, broadly speaking, shows few new develop ments. For the week, failures are 318, against 273 laat year; wheat exports 2,764.010. against .404,024; bank clearings. $3,086,185,000. an. increase of 14.2 per cent. EUROPE SELLS STOCKS FOREIG.V UNLOADING AGAIN DE PRESSES WALL STREET. Mexican Crisis and Illness of Austrian Emperor Cause Uneasiness Abroad. Low Prices Start Buying;. NEW YORK. April 24. European selling waa largely responsible for the general de cline in stocks today. Foreign markets were nervous over the Mexican crisis and tho de pression due to this Influence was Increased by the Illness of Emperor Francis Joseph. Europe unloaded slocks here steadily, tell ing for foreign account was variously esti mated at 30,000 to 00.000 shares. The market at the opening followed the lead of London, where prices of American stocks were marked down. Trading during the forenoon was unusually active. There appeared to be a more general fear In the financial district of a war and liquidation was more widespread. " A new low average for the downward swing was reached. The lower Jevel attracted buying and led to short covering. This increased demand for bqth accounts checked the decline and in the afternoon there was a rally. Towards the close, however, prices eased off again. Canadian Pacific waa again thrown over in- large amounts by European holders and was also sold here by Montreal. It was forded down more than 5 pomts and reached the lowest price at which it has sold since It became a 10 per cent stock. New Haven also developed pronounced weakneas. as did Mexican Petroleum. Smelting and Southern Pacific, which are affected by the Mexican trouble. Bonds .were lower, with active selling of some high-grade Issues. Total sales, par value. 2.2UO,00O.

Consignments Sent to Balti more as Supply Point. CHICAGO. April 24. Wheat prices turned downward today on account of the general rains supplementing the much-needed mois ture received during the previous 24 hours. Selling, however, was not at all aggressive and the close was steady at H to tc net decline. Other leading stapk-s. too. all showed a setback corn iVjc to i c, oats a shsde to He and provisions 3 to 20c. The downpours In the West and South west resulted Immediately in extensive sales of cash wheat to come here from Kansas City. Besides, good authorities were quoted as declaring that abandoned acreage would now be very small. Considerable Interest was taken In a report that consignments of No. 2 red Winter had been made from To Ido to Baltimore. notwithstanding that Baltimore prices are nominally lower than quotations at Toledo. Millers explained that Baltimore may be a more Important point soon tor Army and Navy suppllea Corn went lower In consequence of a fall ing off in cash demand both Bast and West. In the provision pit the offerings for the packers and other longs were too heavy to be readily absorbed. Higher prices for hogs failed to act as an offset.

No additional sums will be appro priated by the County Commissioners for the Gresham Fair or the Land Prod ucts . Show. Each of the organiza tions will receive half of the 3S000 available for such purposes. Request was made by the committee front the land show for 3000 of the 32500 that they lid not use last year, and which subsequently waa trans fered to the road fund, but tho Com missioners refused this request on the ground that they could not transfer the money back from the road fund. The sum went to this fund automatically when not used by the Land Products Show. Under the provisions of an act passed by the 1913 Legislature, 310,000 was available for agricultural and livestock displays, one-half of this to go to the Pacific International Livestock Asso ciation. The remaining 35000 and 33000 provided in the budget for the Uresham Fair was all that the Commissioners would give to the two organizations, and a Joint committee appointed sev eral days ago reported yesterday that they were willing to divide the total amount. Representatives of the Land Products Show promise to double or triple this amount. Members of the two committees were: H. A. Lewis, president; F. A. Miller. R. W. Gill and G. F.

CANADIANS WANT TO HELP Those AVlio Saw Service in South Africa Would Aid America. LEWISTON, Idaho. April 24. (Spe cial.) That the Canadians are In hearty sympathy with the United States In the present difficulty with Mexico, was the assertion of Walter Sangster, of Anatone, who has just .returned from an extended visit in Alberta and British Columbla. The English people and Canadians are as keen about the unsettled condi tion of Mexico as is the United States," said Mr. Sangster. "The sentiment In Canada is strongly with the United States and the Knglish people have ex pressed a hope that the scope of oper ations may be extended until England will be allowed to join with the United States in clearing up all of the rebel lious countries to the Isthmus and even into South America. They regard the rebellions in Mexico, Central America and the South American countries as holding back the development of the richest sections the world possesses and that the time has come for the nations to take a hand in restoring order. "At Lethbridge there are 100 men who saw service in South Africa who are ready to come ovor the border and ten der their services to tho United States as soon as a call for volunteers is made."
