TTTE arOTtXTXG OirEGOSTAy. SATURDAY, MAT 16, 1914. 17 LOCAL HOPS MOVING Oregon Spot Market Steady but Not Active. SOUTHERN ' TRADE QUIET tTnsoId Stocks In TTnited States Twice as Iarge as Year Ago English Prices Barely Hold V Their Own. There Is a little' business under Tray In the Oregon hop market, but not much la passing:, at other points on the Coast. C. N. Johnson, of Dilley, sold 'l bales to Bea vey & Johnson yesterday at 13 cents. The same Arm recently bought tha Gunderson lot of 64 bales and the Balch lot of 44 bales at Gervais. It is reported that 15 cents was offered for 100 bals at Independence. McNeff . Bros. purchased & carload In Takima. There are now left in the hands of Oregon growers about 7200 bales of 1913s and Washington growers are holding; 600 bales. Unsold California stocks con 1st of 6050 bales of Sonomaa, TOO bales of Mendoclnos and 4521 bales of Sacramento. This total of 19,079 bales of growers hops compares with a total of $900 bales -on "hand in the United States on this date a year ago. There Is a moderate demand for new crop Oregon contracts,, mostly at 14 cents, but 15 cents was offered on contract to Walker, of Independence, for 300 bales nd refused. Another grower In- the same section turned down a similar offer. An Important .meeting of the Hop Grow ers' and Dealers' Association of Oregon will be held at 10 o'clock this morning In the office of T. A. LIvesley & Co., at Salem. English hop market conditions are report ed in London dealers circulars, dated April 27 to 29, as follows: Wild, Neame & Co. There has been a fair amount of business passing during the week at the present level of values and available stocks are being reduced to narrow dimensions. Thornton & Manger Trade is restricted to hops available at 6 to 6 6s and some business has been done at these figures. The demand is limited. Foreign accounts re port markets weak. Mangerfe Henley The actual business do ing is of small volume. Prices remain steady, but favor buyers where sales are pressed. W. H. & H. Le May The general trade continues quiet. Although some few have accepted rather lower rates to effect sales, t he greater number of the holders of the fe tv hops left refuse t make concessions. Worcester Business during the past week has beeen limited to actual wants supplied f rrm merchants stocks and no growers' hops have been weighed. Holders keep a firm attitude, notwithstanding the quietness of the demand, and prices are not quotably altered. WOOLMEX DIKFER ON KCTX'RE PRICES Some Apprehensive of Break, While Others Are Contracting; Actively. Conflicting sentiments pervade the wool market, according to reports received from thn Eastern trade. The bullishness of the situation from a worldwide standpoint leads to rejoicing in some quarters and to considerable apprehnslon In others. Some dealers, for instance, have secured new-clip territory wools at rates which stand to make them a good refirn, especially under the present condition. Others, however, are Inclined to look upon the situation as likely . to develop a break and they have been as conservative as possible, urging the same policy upon others. Such speculation as has been evident since contracting began In the West is dep recated by the latter element. Those In volved In this kind of business, on the other hand, are optimistic at the moment. They are going ahead on the expectation that a ' gobd profit can be made before any break In the situation may occur. If it does at all. They find an excellent demand In sight from manufacturers for the wools secured by them and the chances favor their getting profitable price. Europeans place the credit for the most of the strength at the recent sales In Lon don on this country, especially the fact that medium cross-breds have not declined, as was feared before the opening of the series. It is even eaid that the American demand the past three months lias saved a consid erable decline. If not a collapse, in prices In England. A Bradford correspondent says that "the very fact that the demand from the United States has prevented the Brad ford market from going to pieces will be to the benefit f the Australian woolgrower who has sent his wool, or part of It, to London." This In evidence of how much the situation has depended upon buyers from the United States. s DEMAND FOR WHEAT IS LIMITED Offerings Are Small and Local Prices Are Large Nominal.

STOCK TRADE RESTS No Further Developments to Stimulate Operations. PRICE CHANGES NARROW Good Demand for Steel and Reading Causes Fractional Improvement at Opening B. & O. Jfote. Issue Oversubscribed. J NEW YORK, May 15. Having reflected- in yesterday's advance the judgment of Wall street regarding the fan of Tanxplco, the stock market rested today. There was noth lng to stimulate speculation and the market slipped back easily into monotonous routine. Trading fell to small proportions and fluc tuations were narrow. In the first hour. there was a fractional improvement, with a good demand- for Steel, Reading and some other popular shares. Statistics of foreign trade made a showing. bad enough to represa any tendency toward bullishness. Baltimore St Ohio's issue of $35,000,000 one-year 4 vx per cent notes was over sub scribed in a few hours.

Hog Prices Barely Hold Their Ovrn, Trade In Cattle Division Lis lit Darina- Day. There was a fair run of boss at the ykrds yesterday, 'but not much was receiTed in other lines. Prices on tbe whole were un changed. The 1914 grass sHeep movement is now under way. There Is a good demand ruling for "the better grades, but the sheep market is uneven on poor quality. Cattle trade was inactive during the day. On the cattle situation in general the Live stock Reporter says: "The predicted shortage of cattle hold ings In the Northwest this year has so far failed to come true. Receipts at the yards have steadily Increased and as retail con sumption of beef Is nothing to enthuse over prices on the hoof have gradually declined. Killers have been liberal buyers of beef materials, but the retail demand for fresh meat - has fallen off rather than . Increased, so that a right sizeable ..surplus accumu lated, both In feeding pens and coolers, and the cattle bids are on a lower basis. That the price level has been supported so firm ly is quite a compliment to the Portland market." The undertone of values in the swine mar ket continues easy. The bulk of yesterday's sales were to 5 cents under the former top price, only a lew bead bringing Business In the sheep - house was also limited. Receipts were 32 cattle, 29 calves,. 656 nogs ana zsw sneep. Shippers were: With hogs J. W. Lewis, Weiser, 1 car; J. Donnelly, Weiser. 1 car: A. Ij.

Estimates that ths Argentine exportable surplus of corn had been cut down, perhaps 125,000,000 bushels, owing to Incessant damage by storms, made the corn market here jump today Into chief Interest on change. There was a decided bulge in prices, but heavy sales to realize profits left the close merely steady at a gain of V to itHe net. Wheat wound up a shade to c above last night, oats off to Sc advance, and provisions un. changed to a rise of lic' Lecrastng stocks of corn in Chicago and the scantiness of receipts here 'and In the West attracted attention. Wheat strengthened with corn and as a result of belter verified reports of serious damage from Hessian ITy- in Missouri and Illinois. . Oats haft some independent power to climb, as - crop prospects in Oklahoma and Illi nois were not no alluring as of late. How ever, the disposition to grab profits took the edge off the market. Provisions averaged higher, helped by the grain bulge. Moreover, packers bought and firmness ruled at the yards. The leading futures ranged as follows: WHEAT. Open. High. Low. Close.
