THE MOTIXTXG OREGOXIA3T, SATURDAY, 3IAY 9, 1014. 17 MANY HOPS. UNSOLD Surplus Appears Too Large for Present Market. SALES AT LOWER PRICES Growers iu Oregon Are Ho kiln; 6860 Hales Against 2100 Bales Xajst Year Larger Quantity 3ue to Greater Crop. and weather conditions could not be more favorable. "Unsold stocks of hops on the Pacific Coast re much larger than at this time last year. This facL Yoeether with the Rood crop prospects, the prohibition gains In a num- k?r of states and general business conditions are responsible for the sagging tendency of the spot irurket and the Inactivity of fu- tires. Tnere ate now left In Oregon growers hands hales of the 1913 crop. Specu lators and Eastern dealers are holding 390 ras. Last year on this growers' unsold holdir.s In Oregon were 2100 bales and dealers' suopllea were practically exhaust ed. There remains unsold In California 1S00 bales cf Sonomas and Mendoclnos and about rOOO bales are said to be held by Sacramento. Yolo and Butte County growers. Several deals were reported yesterday. Torcas Bros, hcught 63 bales from Glen Graves, of McCoy, at 13Vi cents, and H. L. Hart bought 73 bales from John Gebbie, of Jii!iboro. at 13 cents. A number of other deals were closed, but the particulars were not mad e- public. In a report on hop-crop prospects on the Pacific Coast, the United States Brewers' Association says: In the Pacific Coast states the hop roots have Wintered well and there is enough acreage to produce a crop of 283,000 bales, under favorable weather conditions, which will give a large surplus. "The current season has been most il luminating. Our exports of the 1913 crop have reached a total of bales, and yet there is no apparent shortage. On the othe hand, our imports from. Germany have reached nearlv 0. 000,000 pounds, which Is equivalent to ,25,000 American bales. Al though Imported hops have cost twice to three times as much as the domestic article, the American brewers have used them quite extensively The English market continues dull. The latest circulars of the London trade says: Wild. N'eame & Co. There Is nothing fresh to report. Business is quiet, with values somewhat In buyers favor. Thornton & Manger There is more gen eral enquiry this week, but at prices which are below recent quotations. Manger &. Henley Business during the past week has been slow and restricted to actual needs. Prices unaltered. Y. II. H. Le May There is some en quiry this week for hops required for con sumption. Prices must be quoted without alteration. There Is very little business passing at "Worcester In hops, the small Inquiry for im mediate consumption being met from mer chants stocks at unchanged rates. No growers hops passed the public scales this week. Supplies are no- getting rather low, and holders are reluctant to make any con cession In price, while consumers will only do business on their own terms. OREGON CROP CONOITIOX EXCELLENT Ciovern incut's Estimate on Winter Wheat and Other Prospects.

Butter ho4ds steady at the former prices. and cheese is weak. Lakeview Wool Is Sold. O. T. McKendree bought the Lane, Arthur & Jones wool which was shorn at the Wilcox corrals last week, says the Lakeview Ex aminer.

Dun's Review will I say tomorrow: There is an improved sentiment in com mercial and industrial channels, even though actual progress is slow. The brilliant out look for the Winter wheat crop inspires con fidence In the future, and the splendid ag ricultural prospects generally constitute the best feature of the situation. Statistics of trade movements are con flicting; gross earnings of railroads report ing for the month of April were 1.9 per cent less than last year. Failures this week are 324. against 274 last year; In Canada, 43 against 29. TRADE IN WEST IS EXPANDING Business Improve With Prospects of Ex cellent Wheat Crop. NEW YORK, May 8. Bradstreet's tomor row will say: Because of excellent crop prospects, prob ably the best that ever prevailed at this sea son, sentiment tends to veer toward the line of optimism, and as a result, trade, espe-J cially at the West, exhibits moderate ex pansion. Industrial lines as yet do not re-1 fleet this cheerful feeling, however. Country trade is seasonably slow. At the same time industrial operations in the lead ing lines are slow, and therefore there Is considerable idleness. For the week: Failures 285, against 2-13 last year; wheat exports 3,776.580 bushels. against 3.214.150 bushels: bank clearings. S3. 422.755,000 a decrese of 1.4 from last year.

Rates Are Lower. 1.0 !,(ll)0 YARD SUPPLY IS LIGHT l FRESH ARRIVALS AT NORTH PORT LAND ARE SMALL. Holdover Cattle Still on Hand S Trine Sell at Decline Sheep Market Steady. NEW YORK, May 8. Professional trad ers disregarded today the old axiom of Wall street that it 1b never safe to sell a dull market. The last few days were so un usually dull that speculators were eager for action, and as conditions favored the short side they sold stocks. There were numerous declines of 1 to 3 points. London prices for American stocks were lower and there was some selling of Cana dian Pacific for foreign account, although European operations here were not on a large scale. Continued weakness of a few stocks, particularly Missouri Pacific and Chesapeake & Ohio, disturbed the whole market. Another cash gain is expected as a . re sult of the. week's currency movements. which indicate an increase in holdings of the New iurk banks of about Xj.OUO.OOO. Time money rates again yielded. Demand iterllng reached another high point, and urtber engagements of gold were predicted. tjond prices were lower. Total sales, par value, 11. 905. 000. United States bonds were unchanged on call.

CHICAGO. May 8. Predictions of the earliest harvest ever known in the United States made the wheat market ease off to day after an unexpected show of strength. Closing prices were steady at a shade to K9mc net decline. Alf the other leading staples, too. had something ot a setback, corn lc to 16r4c, oats 140 to 4c and pro visions 5c to 15c. Wheat devetoped firmness In sympathy with the comparative strength shown at Liverpool despite the bearish crop report from Washington. Trade here was light, priees gradually hardening all around. Afterward Oklahoma dispatches predicting the earliest wheat harvest on record led to a setback. Increased country offerings In the South west led to selling pressure on corn. Wet weather delay to planting, though, had at first made the market Incline to the bull side. Good conditions for the growing crop ended to curtsil the value of oats. Besides shipping demand was not so large as on the preceding day. Provisions fell on account of talk of hog arrivals becoming more plentiful soon. There was ltttle call for cash product- Shorts were the only buyers. The leading futures ranged as follows: WHEAT. Open.

Com mis loner Daly ExprenHes Donbts mn to Company' Sincerity but Denial la Made by Officials. Because of typographical errors found in the proposed franchise grant to the Portland Hallway, Light A Pow er Company covering1 the operation ot cara over the bridges of the city at a rate of 3 cents a car, the City Commis sion yesterday rescinded a resolution adopted recently sending the franchise up for final advertising. This throws the franchise proposition back before the Council, necessitating the filing by the company of a new application. The errors in the measure were found by Chief Deputy City Auditor Grutze after the Council had checked the franchise over. The errors appar ently were merely typographical, but it is said they made considerable dif ference in the meaning of the pro visions of the franchise. The mistakes consisted of the use of the word "of for "or" and "the" for "a." Commissioner Daly said he felt some times as though the company was not anxious to get a bridge franchise.
