HOP CROP SMALLER
Pacific Coast Will Have Less
Than Last Year.
OREGON YARDS SPOTTED
Cool Nights Retard Growth of Vines
in Some Sections Decrease In
California Is Estimated.
Market Is Steady.
A steady ton is maintained by the hop
market. The demand is not active, but
there are orders on hand and 15 cents Is
obtainable for good 1912s. Bids for the new
crop range from 14 to 15 cents.
There are reports from some sections that
the growth of the vine has been checked by
the cool n I grhts,, but on the whole the plants
are in healthy condition. Estimate of the
1914 crop are being made and, as usual, vary
widely. The opinion is general, however,
that the Oregon yield will be less by 10,000
or 20,000 bales, than last year's.
On the line of the Oregon Electric between
Portland and Salem most of the yards that
were poor last year are doing well this sea
son, in other parts of the valley, particu
larly in the Independence and Rickreal sec
tions and closer in on the West Side, where
the yields were heavy last year, the yards
are now spotted.
The new acreage that is coming into bear
ing this year as a rule looks fine and this
may offset in a measure the decrease In the
old yards.
According to California reports, the Sac
ramento section is doing well and will have
in ore hops than last year, but the Sonoma
Cilatrlct will fall down. Against last year's
rrop of 117,000 bales California authorities
njw figure on a yield of about 310.000 bales.
The condition of the English market is
Known by the following London dealers' cir
culars: Wild, Neame & Co. Thre has been a
slight improvement in the demand during
the past few days; values are unaltered.
Thornton & Manger There is rather more
Inquiry, but actual business continues re
stricted, and prices are unaltered.
Manger & Henley Trade during the past
week has again been deeldely slow, the
small business doing being for present -requirements
only.
W. H. and H. LeMay. The market re
mains In a quiet state and concessions have
to be made to buyers to Induce business.
Worcester Trade continues on retaij lines,
the small dema-nd being mostly supplied
from merchants' stocks, but 1O07 pockets of
growers" hops passed the public scales this
week. Supplies left In first hands are gen
erally held above buyers' views, growers be
ing unwilling to accept the reduced offers
current. Cold weather has checked planta
tion growth, and in places the young shoots
have been cut down by frost.
AMEJUCAX WOOI CLIP BELOW NORMAL
Some Estimates Make the Domestic Short
age SO Per Cent.
Some wool authorities declare that the
advices they have received recently from
Important wool-growing sections of this
country indicate that the new clip will be
"0 per cent below normal, says the New
York Journal of Commerce. If subsequent
reports prove these statements to be correct,
the statistical position of domestic wools
will be strengthened in a marked degree.
The reason advanced for this shortage if
that many growers, believing that free wool
would bring about such low prices that
there would be no money in the wool-growth
ir business, sold their sheep. So many
sheep were uluughtered. it is stated, that
the number in the hands of domestic wool
growers toduy Is the smallest m many years.
There are no large accumulations of old
rllo domestic wools lying on the leading
caboard or Interior markets. New wools
ure moving steadily from Western plonts.
and while the demand is not very active, the
Interest taken by spinners in more than suf
lloient to maintain values. One of the larg
est woolen and worsted concerns Is said to
be rather poorly supplied. The inquiries and
purchases of this corporation alone have
helped the market in no uncertain way. An
unusual amount of confidence In the future
Ih noticeable anions handlers of domestic
v on Is.
t'ANNKRS TAKE BKRRV SCRrLl'S
J. oral Market Should He in Better Shape
Next Week.
It is likely that the strawberry market
will be in better shape next week when the
tanneries begin operations. At the present
time the supply Is so heavy that the market,
with difficulty, absorbs the surplus. Prices
mi the street yesterday ranged from 75 cents
to Jt.'J.'i. Kaapberriea were in better supply
tind offered at 1.25. Loganberries were
quoted at 1 a crate.
Apricots are gradually declining as re
ceipts incrense, yesterday's arrivals selling
at $l.M51.7.V. A few small lots of peaches
were received. - , ,
Vegetables were in fair supply and sold
w ell. Local peas offered at ." cents. Good
loval asparagus sold at (1.25 a dosen. A
cm- of new potatoes and a car of red onions
are due today. The street was cleaned up
of the latter.
WARM AVKATHER EGI.S OX MARKET
Ki plains Wide Range of Prices Quoted by
ealers.
The effect of the- recent spell of warm
weather is apparent in the quality of the
current egg receipts and explains tho wide
range of prices quoted by different dealers.
Good eggs command 21 cents, case count,
but others that do not grade up have sold
as low as 20 cents. - There are also more or
less culls out of candling on the market and
these are offered at various prices. Closely
elected stock is worth a legitimate pre
mium. The poultry market was steady, with a de
mand for all the hens and broilers received.
Dressed veal and pork were weak.
There wero no changes in dairy pro
duce lines.
WHEAT TRADING IS I'MMPOKTANT
Oats and Barley Not Offered Freely, Though
- Market Prospects Are Poor.
(J rain market conditions were unchanged,
trade being of small proportions and prices
weak. Wheat was quoted as on the pre
ceding day. Oats and barley are not being
offered freely, although stocks are large and
the fine crop prospects have a depressing
influence on market values.

KEW YORK. May 2S. The stock market!
drifted along in idle and futile fashion again
today. Various factors, such as the Mexican
situation, the outcome of Missouri Pacific's
entanglements, crops, railroad, earnings and
foreign conditions were under review, but
failed to exercise more than passing Influ
ence. - Althouch the various foreign markets re
ported improved conditions, London was a
seller of our securities at home and ad
vices from Paris pointed to a clarification
of financial conditions there. The French
bank plainly reflected the drain of gold
from this port with its gain of over $8,
000,000. There were intimations that the
recent movement is to be revived.
Time money for the longer maturities
stiffened, but the shorter dates and call
loans were unchanged.
Southern Pacific was tho only important
railroad system to report April earnings,
showing a net decrease of $291,000. The
only feature of the bond division was the
strength of the Uould issues. Total sales
of bunds, par value, aggregated $1,&05,000.
United States coupon gained on a
single sale, but prices otherwise were un
changed on call. -

ATTORNEY IS INDICTED
F. K. FRE11MAN FACES (IHRGH OF
LARCENY BY EMBEZZLEMENT.
Alleged Failure to Turn Over 90 t beck
to Mr.. H. L. Martin I. Basla of
Action Brought ty Jury.
Larceny by embezzlement is charged
In an indictment returned by the grrand
Jury yesterday against Frank F. Free
man, an attorney. He Is charged with
failing to turn over to Mrs. H. L. Martin
$90.29 which had come into his hands
for her.
The indictment arose from Free
man's connection with the Mutual Re
serve Bond Company, of Lexington. Ky.,
now in the hands of a. receiver. He
was designated representative of the
Portland stockholders of the company,
when it was taken over by court offi
cials half a. dozen years ago. and as
such has received, on behalf of the
stockholders. - dividends which have
been paid by the receiver.
In August, 1911, it is charged he re
ceived a check for J90.29, payable to
Mrs. Martin, which he has failed to
turn over to her, , it is said. Other sim
ilar complaints have been received, it
is said, by United States officials and
District Atorney Evans. The evidence
in the case against Freeman was gath
ered by Federal officials investigating
a fraudulent mail charge. All of the
information gathered by the Federal
officials was turned over to Mr. Evans
for presentation to the county grand
jury.
Freeman has been practicing law in
Portland for 15 years, and at one time
was one of the leading young attorneys
of the city. He married a daughter of
the late Congressman Tongue, of Hills
boro, but was divorced by her about
five years ago.

Black. Rust Is Discovered in Okla
homa Fields Excessive Rainfall
Beats Down Grain Ready for
Harvest Close Is Nervous.
CHICAGO, May 28. Discovery of black
rust In Oklahoma carried wheat today to
$1 a bushel, the highest price of the May
delivery for the crop year. There was a
Dervous feeling; at the cloae, which was 4c
to He above last night. Corn finished He
off to He tip, oats a shade to lc down
and provisions at 7 to 22-c decline.
Tightness in the May option . of wheat
was emphasised? by the chartering- of vessel
room for l.OOO.OOO bushels to be shipped
here- to the Georgian Bay and Montreal.
Too much rain in Oklahoma had a bullish
effect on the wheat market. Many fields
almosr ready for the harvest were reported
to have been beaten flat to the ground by
storms. Dispatches told of three Inches
of rain In 24 hours, with an additional fall
expected.
In corn, congestion of the May delivery
save signs of being at an end. . Besides
there were reports that Argentine damage
had been exaggerated.
Relief from .drouth complaints permitted
an eaBfer feeling in regard to oats. May
broke almost 2 cent at one time, but rallied
toward the last.
Liquidating sales by packers lowered the
provision market all around. Shorts brought
on the decline.
