ORDERS ARE URGENT
Eastern Trade Suddenly Wants
Oregon Hops.
HIGHER PRICES ARE BID
Sixteen Cent Offered to MoLaugUUii,
of Independence, and Befu&ed.
Inquiry for Contracts Xew
Crop Is Spotted, '
The hop market has developed strength,
rather unexpectedly. Kastern orders have
come in, some of them evidently of an
urgent character, as buyers yesterday were
skirmishing through the country in every
direction. They . found growers strong and
not disposed to sell.
It is likely that this Eastern demand is
for the purpose of covering short sales. No
hops remain in the warehouses here iu the
hands of dealers, with the exception of one
or two lota, and thla compels the "buyers to
so to the farmers. Only about GOO hales
are left in growers' hands.
McLaughlin, of Independence, was yester
day morning offered and refused 15 cents
for a. portion of hla 1500-balo crop. Other
growers, also turned down bids. Who Boch
Ipt crop of 86 bales, at Mt. Angel, was
bought by Seavey & Johnson at 15 cents.
The price paid for the Krause lot at Aurora,
previously reported, was 14. cents. The
last of the Western Washington crop, which
was bought by McXeff Bros., was the Hart
man & Nathan lot of 130 bales, at Che
balu. There are also orders in tho market for
lfll hops, but growers are indifferent sell
ers. Some of these orders are at 15 cents.
II op men who have been through the grow
ing sections declare the crop Is looking spot
ted and a yield considerably under last
)rgr's Is looked, for. Similar reports come
from. California, where the crop is back
ward. A cable received from London was as fol
lows: "Lice increasing rapidly. German
market active and higher. Continent buy
ing Kngllsh hops."
.1-1. at m-. -t .r T Ol ft nf
the English crop: "Tying has begun in near
ly all the Kent plantations. Last week's cold
.east winds and frosty nights retarded the
progress of the young shoots, but with the
more genial weather that has prevailed dur- 1
in the last few days, there has been a
fair growth, and the plants appear to be
healthy."
English dealers' circulars, dated May 4
to 6, follow :
Wilde, Neame & Co. Business on our
market continues quiet and values are un
changed. Manger & Henley Trade continues slow
and to get business through concessions
have to be made to tempt buyers.
Thornton & MangerEBusiness is quiet and
prices are unchanged at the recent level.
Continental markets are firmer. American
dull.
W. If. & H. LeMay There is a small busi
ness doing at rates now current.
Worcester One hundred pockets of new
and 2ou pockets yearlings were weignea
last week. As some growers have been
more inclined to meet buyers, further lots
have changed hands, and more business is
expected to be completed immediately.
A report from Alost, dated May 2, says of
the Belgian crop: "After three weeks, we
are enjoying real Summerlike weather. Yes
terday - was , an - exception, with rain, gales
and northeast winds. .But today again the
sun is shining and the wind has veered to
cast-southeast., the weather promising for
another spell of beautiful days. Under these
favorable conditions the hop plants are grow
ing fast, so much the more as they are not
hindered In the growth by vermin, which
lias not made an appearance yet. Growers,
notwithstanding, are very firm and will
hardly contract for the new crop."
SI OAR PRICES ADVANCE 10 CENTS
Seasonable- Rltte la All Domestic Markets.,
Situation Is Strong;. J
All grades of refined sugar were advanced i
10 cents a hundred In the local market yes
terday. The market Is firm at the ad
vance. Reporting on the general situation
an Eastern sugar authority writes:
"Although distributors are not placing
contracts very freely, as thecountry Is not i
consuming sugar In normal volume for this
teason, refiners are fairly well supplied with
business for the present and are not partic
ularly anxious to load up with contracts at
the .current level, because the advance in ,
raw sugar of 31 points from the low point
early in the season has brought the margaln
for refining to between 63 and 67 points,!
which Is not regarded as profitable. In con
sequence a further advance in the quota
t ions of refined would not be unexpected
and though the upward trend has not as
yet stimulated the placing of new business
to any great extent, it is believed that a
few days of waring- dry" weather would be
followed by a substantial expansion In the
placing of contracts by distributors through
out the country."
ST RAW BE RK IT CROP COMES WITH RUSH
Lowest Prices of Season Prevail for Oregon
Prult.
The strawberry crop is coming with a j
rush, because of the warm spell. Arrivals
on the street yesterday proved greater than ,
the demand, and the market was decidedly !
weak. In the forenoon, prices ranged from j
SI. 10 to $1.50 with an occasional sale at
$1.75". but in the afternoon good berries could
be had at 75 cents to 91.25 and they did not
clean up at that.
Cherries were more plentiful, but were
slow. Another shipment of apricots arrived
and sold at f- 2. 50. Six cars of bananas
were received last night In fine condition.
Among the vegetable receipts was a car
of Mexican, tomatoes, which offered at $2.2"
ft -.75 a crate. A car of California cab
base also arrived. Oregon peas are coming
in more freely and are of fine quality.
SMALL DEMAND FOR LOCAL GRAINS
Whrat Is Holding Vairly steady, Because
of Eastern Strength.
Extreme quietness prevails In the grain
market. Wheat prices are gradually drift
ing down to the new-crop level, but the de
cline is. In a measure, held In check by the
strength of Eastern markets. The demand
Us of small proportions. Oats and barley
arc also slow.
Local receipts in cars were reported by
the Merchants Exchange as follows:

OITSIDE ORDERS IX BUTTER MARKET
Clime Weak With Storks Accumulating.
Eggs and Poultry Firm.
The butter market was steady yesterday
with a good local movement and also de
mand from the North. No early change In
prices Is expected.
The cheese market is very weak with sup
plies accumulating. The local market Is now
practically on a 13 -cent basis. Outside mar-
kets are also soft. California dealers axe
taking order for Southern Oregon cheese at
14. cents.
Eggs were firm with sales reported at 21
to 22 cents, case, count.
'There was also a better demand for chick
ens, but as receipts were fairly large, prices
were not materially changed. - Dressed meats
were slow.
Oregon Wool Sales at Hotton.
Transfers of new-clip wools are reported
by Fibre and Fabric as follows:
"Sales .of territory grades have aggregated
moderately throughout the past week, being
principally this season's arrivals of Idaho,
Utah, Nevada and Arizona. Sales of Colo
rado have aggregated some 30.000 to 40.000
pounds at prices ranging from 50 S 55c clean.
Oregon wools sold in small lota at from 54
60c for good desirable fine wools. Good
white XXXX wool is quoted at from 58
62c scoured. Samples submitted to the local

hav-3 a slight, percentage of grease. Ari
zona grades continue to sell moderately from

FEW POINTS OF WEAKNESS
i'urtlier Rise in Foreign Exchange
Indicates Continuance of Gold
Export Movement European
Markets Slow Bonds Quiet.
i'ORK. May 20. The seebion on the
slock exchange today wu devoid of inter
esting developments. Trading wa dull and
professional throughout and the monotony
of tho movement was relieved only by the
heaviness of such issues as Missouri Pacific
and Western Maryland, whose affairs are
admittedly unsatisfactory. The shares and
bonds of these companies fell from 1 to 5
points. At the close the remainder of the
list inclined toward recovery.
In '".is broader aspects the real feature of
the day was the further rise in foreign ex
change. Demand sterling; advanced to 8
and cables were quoted at I4.8. Indicating
a continuance probably on an Increased
seals of the recent gold exports.
further unofficial advices of an untoward
character dealing with the crop outlook
were received, but were accepted with some
reservation. Conditions in tho steel Industry
KZe reported to be oractlcally unchanged.
"reign stock markets were not unlike
our own. London manifesting a sluggish and
drooping tendency, with some weakness at
Paris and Berlin.
Weakness in the issues mentioned af
fected the general bond list, prices falling
on reduced dealings. Total sales, par value,
amounted to J. 400.000. Government bonds
were unchanged on call.

STATE RESERVES RIGHT
Attorney-General Rales on Privilege
. of Mining lii-vcr Beds.
SALEM, Or., - May 20. (Special.)
That persons desiring to nine river
beds in the state must apply to the
State Land Board was an opinion ren.
dered yesterday by Attorney-General
Crawford, at the instance of W. C
Hodges, of Los Angeles. While the
mining laws provide that any citizen
may take up as & claim any unappro
priated part of the public domain, they
do not apply to river beds, which are
owned by the stats and are not a part
of the public domain.
The State Land Board has the ex
clusive right of disposing of state lands
and the right to lease mineral lands.
Mr. Hodges wrote in the interest of
friends who desired to take up a min
eral claim in Rogue River. It is un
derstood they Intend mininir for srold
if they can obtain control of the river
bed at a certain point which has not
been divulged.
$600 REFUSED; $400 WON
Case in Superior Court at Vancouver
Since 1908 Is Settled.
VANCOUVER, "Wash.. May 20. (Spe
cial.) After having refused a settle
ment of $600 and having a case in the
SuperlorCourt since 190S, the case en
titled the Northern Pacific Railroad
Company against J. A. Munday was
settled yesterday for 1400.
The company had brought suit to
condemn a right of way through Mr.
Monday's land and he brought a coun
ter suit for damages to the property by
reason of rocks dropped on the land by
blasting.
The case was settled by allowing
Mr. Mnnday 1100 for the damages re
sulting from the right of way and $300
for damages caused by the rocks
thrown on the remaining part of the
land.

Alarming Reports of Damage
.From Hessian Fly,
TOP PRICES OF SEASON
heat Farmers in Some Sections of
Middle West Propose to Burn
Up Their Flehfc to Ex
terminate Infection.
CHICAGO. May 12. Despite heavy selling
to realize profits, the wheat market ad
vanced today to the highest point thus far
on thft crop. Alarming reports of damage
from Hessian fly kept speculators in a tur
moil and made ths close strong at a rise
of 7s to ISc. Provisions finished a shade
off to an upturn of 15c.
According to one authority the prospect
today was for a cut of 100,000,000 bushels
in the 1914 harvest, compared with extreme
figures of a month ago. Assertions were
current that in some sections farmers pro
posed to burn up fields to exterminate the
Hessian fly lnfeotion. Klsewhere, in regions
where the damage at present was less se
vere, predictions were made of increasing
disappointment with the approach of har
vest. -.
Traders in oats had a crop scare of their
own. Dry weather was given as the chief
cause.
Although corn at the outset showed firm
ness with wheat, prices later failed to hold.
Provisions developed no action of im
portance. Interest was dwarfed by excite
ment regsrding wheat.
