THE MORmG OREGOXIAN, TUESDAY, DECEJIBER 8, 1914. 17 HOP STOCKS SfiLL Crop May Have Been Under 100,000 Bales. EARLY ESTIMATE TOO HIGH Strolls' Buying Movement at All . Points on Coast Several Thou sand Bales Taken by Dealers in Oregon and California. That tho Oregon hop crop was not as tarso mm was estimated earlier In the eaion Is the opinion of many dealers. Supplies are run ning low In many sections, and some districts are now practically bare of hops. Estimates ef tUe stock remaining- unsold vary, some hop men figuring only about 15,000 bales In . xrowers" hands. As shipments to date have been about 80,000 bales, it looks as If the crop may turn out to have been under the . J0O,0O0-bale market, and not 110.000 to 1ZU, Oo bales, as was believed. A complete tabulation of the crop and acreage has been undertaken by the new Oregon Hop Growers' Association, which has number of men working in the field. The results may be announced this month. Only one crop remains unsold In the Aurora section, according" to dealers records. At Eugene, 300 bales are left and there are 200 bales at Harrlsburg. Only about 140 tales remain unsold in Benton county. One or two lots only are left In the St. Paul sec. tlon. Tho sale of two-thirds of the Mo I.oughlin crop Saturday made a material re duction in the Independence holdings. A strong buying movement continues at all T-oints. The Seavey Hop Company bought 3 HO bales from Fred Yergen, of Aurora, at 31 cents. T. A. Llvesley & Co. bought 250 bales at Monitor, the crops of Rye Bros., Quail, Paterson and Hastle, at 10 cents. louls Lachmund purchased the Mllloya crop and two others at LaureL McNeff Bros, bought the Prantle lot of 7 bales at Wood burn, the Llbard crop of 300 bales and the Grlsson crop of 101 bales, both at Yakima, SO bales from Puyallup dealers and 200 bales of Sacramento3. Ii. L. Uart bought 200 bales from Koehler A, Martin, of Orting, and 136 bales from Rita fc Mueller, of Puyallup. Trading in California Included the sale of Pt bales of Mendocinos by Wayne Crawford to Proctor at S cents; 180 bales of Mendo cinos by McGarvy to Richardson at 8 cents; 110 bales of Mendocinos by A. Hoefer at 8 cents; 200 bales of Sonomas by B. C. Craw ford at 7 cents; 217 bales of Sonomas by "V M. Dutton at 7 Vi cen ts ; 230 bales of Sonomas by John Ford at 7,i cents; 60 bales of Sonomas by L M. Hildreth at 7 cents; Iho Beck crop of Jlendoclnos at 6 cents, and the Antono Koch crop of Sacramentoa at 7 cents. Contracting is also being- carried on In Ore gon and In California. Sixty thousand pounds of 1015 hops were contracted for at fct. Paul at 11 cents and another 60,000-pound contract was made at Champoeg at the same figure, while 40,000 pounds were signed op at 10 cents. A California wire reported tnat Kd'Palm had contracted to deliver 200 bales for three years to Uhlmann at 10 cents. t According to official returns, the consump tion of hops in the United States for the fis cal year ended June 30, 1914, amounted to 43,957,623 pounds, or 0.665 pounds per barrel of beer, against 44.237,735,- or 0.678 pounds per barrel, for the preceding year. Tho Waterville Hop Reporter cays of the New York market:. "Our dealers report a little better feeling ' m regard to the hop market. If the quality j demanded could be secured, they have orders j which might run into quite a little business, j but that quality seems hard to find. A few' lots, aggregating 40 or SO bales, were pur chased on Saturday around 25 'and 26 cents. These were hops grown in the towns of Mar shall and Klrkland. Holders of some of the better qualities in this town refuse to place their hops on the market at those prices. There is a disposition on the part of dealers to pay a little more attention to the medium grade hops, which have heretofore received little notice."

ITnless transportation fa cil ties to the United States improve, Chinese eggs will not be so important a factor on the Pacific Coast markets of the United States as they were last Winter, writes Vice-Consul General C. E. Gauss, of Shanghai. Representatives of American egg importters have returned to Shanghai and are preparing to make shipments, but it Is not expected that these will be as heavy as during: tho 1913-14 season. The fast liners of the Canadian Pacific Company to Vancouver, says the official, of fered a short journey and a cold route which made refrigeration unnecessary. These liners have now been chartered by the British government and are no longer avail able for merchant service. Space on the lines to Seattle, Tacoma and San Francisco Is diflcult to secure on acount of freight congestion, and the Shire Line boats, which offered 1000 tons of refrigerator space, are not plying. It was expected that during; this season the shipment of dressed poultry to the United States Pacific ports would be under taken, but on account of the withdrawal of the Shire steamers, and tho limited space for refrigerated cargo on the other lines. It ts Improbable that this trade will develop. The question of proper refrigeration facil ities at Shanghai pending: shipment would also have to bo solved. Few St. Paul Hops Are Left,. ST. PAUL, Or Dec 7. (Special.) With but one or two exceptions the hops of this section have passed into the hands of the dealers at prices ranging from 8 to 15 cents, tho latter being- contract prices. Smith Bros, sold -two lots Saturday, amounting to about 40,00V, sounds at JJ4 cents and lO cents to Durbin A Conoyer. A number of growers have contracted their 1915 crop at 10 cents, and the dealers seem anxious to secure as many contracts as possible at that price. HIGH ASKED PRICES CHECK SAXES Wheat Is Strong- and More Is BU, bat Trade la Quiet. The wheat market opened firm. Sales on the Merchants Exchange asked strong; prices and business was restricted, although bids were advanced 1 to 1H cents over Satur day's prices. Two 50 O0-bushel lota of red Russian were sold at S1.16 for February de livery. Oats and barley were fairly steady and quiet. More Interest was shown in the mlllfeed market. One hundred tons of Jan uary bran were sold at 824.25, an advance of 75 cents over Saturday's bid price. ' The flour market ts firm, because of the high price of wheat, but It is not likely that flour prices will be advanced here, as millers believe that would permit Montana flour to enter this territory. No change has lately been made in the Puget Sound flour markets. Local receipts. In cars, were reported by the Merchants Exchange as follows: Wheat. Barley. Flour. Oats. Hay.

County Commiss loners Aak That City Get lixtcnalon fur 30 Days to Al low Time for Consideration. Tho County Commissioners yester day deferred fixing tolls on tho Har riman bridge, tho closing of which is imminent, unless It Is converted Into a toll structure, as the result of the ctty and O.-W. R. & N. officials failing to agreo on a rental basis. Tho railroad company yesterday peti tioned tho county to fix toll rates, on all classes of traffic crossing the upper deck, setting forth that the com pany and city could not agree, and war. tne jity commissioners had voted to have the bridge closed to vehicular and pedestrian traffic The County Commissioners refused to act, how ever, until suggestions could bo re ceived from local civic organizations and until more information could be obtained on tho negotiations between the city and the company.

He declared that the cost of tho upper deck structure was approximately $907,000, and after a large part of this amount had been charged off for depreciation, the com pany asked a return of 4 per cent on the balance of the cost, although the original franchise given by the Port of Portland Commission granted the company the right to charge & per cent A resolution was adopted, by the Commissioners asking that tho city restore to full effect tho previous ar rangements with tho railway company whereby the bridge remain open to use until January 9, 1915.

The men have accepted nearly 300 horses, with hundreds of others to be inspected. Owners are bringing ani mals here from all over the Northwest. F. Gillespie, of San Francisco, has tele graphed that he has 4000 horses which he will bring here for inspection im mediately. A Lewiston man sent 73.

' CONDITIONS ARE IMPOSED International Group of Shares) Is Barred From Trading Bonds Are Distinctly Firm With Kock Island Issues leading. TsETW YORK, Dec T. Dealings in stocks on the Xew York Stock Kxcnange. which came to an abrupt halt at the close of bui nees on July 30, last, because of the dis turbed financial conditions abroad, arc to be resumed on certain conditions next Sat nrday. The sovernJiis; body of the exchange to day empowered the special committee of five, which has exercised full sunervislon over stock dealings during- the period of enforced closure, to take such action, at the same time defining- the committee's powers unaer tne laws of the exchange. The list of stocks which may be bought and sold duflns the nw reulntinna In. eluded nearly 200 Issnee ont of a totaj of ooa listed on the Stock Exchange. No re strictions will be imposed on shares selling at or under flS. A number of active, if unimportant, stocks come within this f- ure. a-s wen as numerous industrials. The restricted list embraces many of the better known industrials and virtually all the issues which form no part of the so called international groups. It does not In clude United States Steel, Union Pacific, Southern Pacific, Canadian Pacific, Balti more A Ohio and New York Central, all of which are extensively held abroad. Can adian Pacific and Baltimore A Ohio were the most active of American stocks In the Berlin market. The principal reason for the exclusion of these stocks appeared to be based upon the belief that foreien owners and allied interests miRht precipitate a heavy selling movement if opportunity af forded. Trading In stocks, with the exception of those under SIS. Is to be conducted on the same basis as now applies to bonds, namely, strictly for cash and not under minimum prices to be established by the committee from time to time. Bonds and stocks were again distinctly firm today, the aggregate dealings in the latter being the largest, according to re port, since July 30. Some stocks not re cently ouoted were traded in tad&v and In the main prices were above last week's nigh level. . In the bond division, the chief feature was the Rock Island group, which was in creasingly active at further advances. The collateral, refunding and debenture Issues of this property now are at marked ad vances over the mid-year. Their persistent rise gave color to tho report, yet uncon firmed, that a satisfactory reorganization plan was in process of consummation. South ern Pacific convertibles also contributed largely to the day's total, which was the largest since the resumption of bond sales. Other gains. In bonds were limited largely to Isolated Issues, including International Paper 5s. Declines, as usual, were pro nounced, ranging from two to eight points, the latter representing1 the loss in Gran by Mining. Among the rrlnclpal stock pains were Lehigh Valley, Reading. Central Leather and American Beet Sugar. In the later dealings stocks manifested a reactionary trend. Time money continued to work easier, while call money touched the new low rate of 3 per cent. Marks again furnished the only feature of the foreign exchange mar ket, their greater firmness strengthening the belief that Germany was continuing her selling of securities In this market.

Bullish Foreign Advices Give Strength to Early Trading Wet Harvest In Argentina. CHICAGO. Dec. T. Wheat turned heavy In the laitt few minutes today, and a mod erate advance which had been scored was more than wloed out. Disclosure of the tact that the market had become bare of speculative orders to buv was responsible tor the setback. Prices finished weak at a shade to o under Saturday eight. Corn lost tto to c net. and oats c In In nrovlstons the outcome was unchanged to )0o down. Foreiitn advices developed most of the strenirth that character!xe1 the vhMt mr ket until the sas which took place at- the end of the session. Adverse weather was ataln interfering with the Argentine har vest, shipments to continental urope were shown to be far under the estimated re oulrements. and It was said that India would soon prohibit exports. There was also talk that ocean forwardlnzs from the Ij'niLed States durlnir December would be at least tu.umr.wu bushels, tne largest amount on recora. Heavy recelnts Droved too much of a hnr. den on the Drfce of corn, despite assertions that todays arrivals formed the crest of the movement to market.
