WHEAT $1.07 AT ASOTIN
Farmers Refuse to Sell at Record
Price and Expect Still More.
ASOTIN, Wash., Dec 11. (Special.)
For several weeks the price of wheat
nas fluctuated here, rising a trifle
higher after each decline, and last
week the highest price for many years
was reached, when $1.06 was paid.
Even that price, however, was ex
ceeded Tuesday, when 6500 bushels of
wheat were sold by George Austrian, of
Asotin, and 2000 bushels by Howe Bros.,
or Alpowa, for $1.07.
Even this record price did not dis
turb the farmers, who are expecting
still higher prices. It Is estimated that
100.000 bushels are being held in this
vicinity.

Oregon Hops Go to Japan and

TRADE LOST BY GERMANY
Thousand Bales to Be Shipped From
This Port to Oriental Brewers.
Lull In Local Market Stock
in Farmers' Sands.
One result of the war in Europe will be
the introduction of Oregon hops into several
foreign countries where they have not here
tofore been known. The Orient and South
America have in the past bought their hop
supplies in Germany, but this year English
dealers have captured most of this business
and a part of the orders have been filled
with hope grown on the Pacific Coast.
Sales aggregating 10O0 bales of hops have
lately been made to . Japanese brewer, and
the ehlpments which will be made from this
port will be made up of Oregon hops.
Earlier in the season a similar quantity of
California hops wae shipped across the Pa
cific Business involving about 50O bales
of Coast hops has been done with South
American nations.
The superior quality of American hops,
it 'is expected, will Impress the brewers of
Japan and South America, and lead to the
use of the Pacific Coast product In future
years, a even though the. business may be
controlled by English dealers.
The hop market was quieter yesterday.
It was reported that T. A. Llvesley St Co.
had withdrawn from the market after buy
ing several thousand bales for growers and
dealers. Trading was also on a reduced
scale in Washington. McXeff Bros, bought
the Partuode ol of 116 bales of Taklmaa
Western Washington business included the
sale of the Dunn crop of 82 bates and the
Markland lot of 4 bales, both at ChehalU.
There are now 6600 bales of hops left in
Yakima growers' hands and between 1500
and 2000 bales remain In Western Washing
ton. Oregon growers holdings are esti
mated around 15,000 bales. The bulk of the
Coast supply la in California, where first
hand holdings are figured at about 34,000
bales. Most of these hops are In the Sac
ramento section.
IIOPGROWER3 JOfyiXO ASSOCIATION
i '
Promoters of Movement Meet With Success
In Securing Signers.
INDEPENDENCE. Or.. Dec. 11. (Special.)
A very important meeting of the Oregon
Hop growers Association was held here today.
It was attended by al. the largest hop grow
ers of this county and they enthusiastically
indorsed the objects of the association. Indi
cating that the full amount of the Polk
County acreage will be signed up.
The association is meeting with success In
all the hopgrowlng sections. In tho Mo-
Minnville district 05 per cent of the acre
age has signed up and In the Sheridan sec
tion. 100 per cent.
Next week, meetings will be held in var
ious parts of Marlon County. The officers
of the association are now assured that the
required proportion of the state's acreage
will be listed in the movement, which will
guarantee better prices for the growers of
Oregon next year.
PBOSPECTS FOB HERB PRODUCTION
Every Variety, Suitable to Temperate Zone,
Will Soon Be in Cultivation.
Every variety of medicinal herb, leaf or
drug that can be grown in the temperate
cone will soon be under cultivation In the
United States, acocrdln? to leading members
of the American Institute of Chemical En
gineers, who met recently at Philadelphia.
The members believe that an unpredecented
expansion of the American chemical ipdustry
will result from the European war. Not only
will these Industries now partly in operation
be fully developed, but, several new indus
tries, such as American potash, will be es
tablished. Dr. Allerton S. Cushman, director of the
Institute of Industrial Research, talked in
formally of the prospeots for developing
herb-raising Industries. "Of course, it, is
no backyard pastime," he said. "The cul
ture of medical herbs is an exact science
and it takes plenty of money. But Ameri
can chemists have got the knowledge, and
if there are enough people with money and
nerve to back them, there Is no reason why
the United States, with its range of tem
peratures and Its variety of soils, should
not produce almost every meUcinal herb that
can be grown In temperate climates. The
big American chemical factories for years
have been paying tremendous prices for
these raw materials, now grown in Europe
and Asia, and mostly imported through Ger
man ports. It naturally would mean the
employment of thousands of persons, and It
would mean cheaper chemicals."
WHEAT MARKET MAS QUIETED DOWN
February Blneatem Sells on Merchants Ex
Change at $1.22.
The wheat market was quiet yesterday
There were few sellers on the Merchants
Exchange and only two lots were sold.
Bluestem changed hands at 51.23 for the
last half of February- Bid prices for prompt
wheat were unchanged, except on forty
fold and red fife, -which were half a cent
lower. For future delivery offers were from
half a cent to one cent down. The country
markets were also quiet, though a little
club was obtained on the basis of 61.16.
The strength of the freight market is
till a restraining factor. No material de
cline In rates Is expected until the bulk of
the Argentine crop has been moved.

TRADING RESUMES TODAY
International Snares Will Not He
Listed, o as to Present Heavy
or Prearranged Selling Prom
Foreign or Other Sources.
NEW YORK. Dec, 11. After 111 business
days of Involuntary inactivity, a condition
imposed by the European war. which caused
a suspension of regular dealings in all the
lea din if financial markets of the world, the
New York Stock Exchange will reopen to
morrow for limited dealings In stocks. All
preparations to meet the new situation were
perfected, including tho re -employment of
many clerks and messengers who had been
without work d urine the long period of
Idleness.
To prevent hevy - prearranged liquida
tion from foreicn or other important sources
open stock dealing will be limited to 1S2
railway. Industrial. utility and mining
shares out of the total of about 580 listed
on the exchange. This abbreviated list will
include same three score stocks of various
kinds selline at or under $15, on which no
restrictions of any kind will be imposed. All
other stocks will have to be bought strictly
for cash or in tho '-regular way," which is
expected to nut a check on speculative or
marginal operations.
Am one the stocks that will not appear on
the ooen list, and which will continue to be
bousht or sold In a seml-prlvate manner,
are a number of the so-called Internationals,
lncludinar Union Pacific, Southern Pacific,
Canadian Pacific. Baltimore & Ohio, New
York Central. Illinois Central, United States
Steel and Anaconda Mining;. The principal
reason for ihe omissions of these stocks Is
that they are held largely abroad, Canadian
Pacific and Baltimore & Ohio especially
belns: favorites of the Berlin market.
That the condition of the International
list as a whole has lmnroved appreciably Is
mown, nowever. in tne latest list or min
imum prices Quoted by the exchange. These
are on the basis of July 30 quotations, but
In a number of Important Instances actual
sales made today were from 2 to. 5 points
aoove mat level.
Stocks and bonds showed greater firmness
toaay because or the nroximtty of the re
onenin? of the local exchange. Some shares
were uo 1 to 3 nolnts. and several of the
more active bond and note issues manifested
corresponding strenictb. the New York City
three-year 6s being quoted at their top
fltrures.
The evident success of two new bond
Issues, asrgreeatlner $65,000,000, afforded the
first real test of the market for new Issues
since the middle of the year. While mora
tnan orainariiv attractive in their interest
yield, the wide resoonse indicated the keen
ness of the investment inquiry, together
witn tne ease or money.
Clearances of stocks throueh the ex
change todav were estimated nt 60,000
snares, wmch was easiiv the largest overturn
for any one day during the period of closure.
The list of minimum Drices Issued by the
exenansre tonav lor ooen tradlnr was inter
esting in that It showed that allowance Is
to hfi made for dividends declared on listed
stocks during the past four months. For
Instance. Reading, w hich , closed at 140 in
July and sold uo to 142'fa today, was duoted
at 136. the oaritv of its July price plus two
dividends of 2 per cent. This same ruling
apo lied to other dividend .issues.
A further break was reported in the mar
ket for relchmarks. making the third con
secutive day of declining tendency for
these remittances. Exchange en London was
stronger with cables at 4.SS, while francs
were steadv.
Banks were Inclined to restrict their offer
ings of money, it was believed, because of
tomorrow's market reopening. The cash loss
of local ranks to the sub treasury was re
ported to be about S17.0O0.0OO. but rates for
call and time loans were maintained.
in the Industrial field, another advance In
couoer metal., based on the better demand,
constituted the chief feature. General trade
advices pointed to oradual betterment at
lead in centers of business.

Corner Has Been Turned and Trend Is for
Better Conditions.
NEW YORK. Dee. 11. Dunn Review to
morrow, will say:
That there Is Improvement In trade Is
made clear In the reports from all parts
of the country, though the development is
slow and Irregular. The gains already at
tained inspire confidence In, further expan
sion with the advent of the new year.
The prevailing optimism is strengthened
by easier money and the notable improve
ment in the financial position; also by the
fact that while the present volume of busi
ness is much less than last year, the cor
ner has been turned and the trend is now
for better conditions.
Bank exchanges for the week were $3,877,
722.159, against S2.767.487.724 In the same

CROP LOSS IS FEARED
WHEAT MARKET AFFECTED BY
COLD WAVE IN SOUTHWEST
Prices Advance on Active Buying:, bat
Free Selling; en Bulgre Wipes
Oat Part of Gain.
CHICAGO, Dec 11. Misgivings about the
effect of cold weather on unprotected fields
in the Winter, wheat crop belt tended to
make the price of wheat today rule higher.
There was a good deal of selling on ths
bulge, however, and tVe market closed easy
at a shade to & cent above last night. Corn
finished unchanged to a sixteenth up; oats,
unchanged to & cents advance and pro
visions dearer by a shade to 6 cents.
Extreme low temperatures in the West
and Southwest, especially Kansas, led to
active buying of wheat at the outset. Lack
of snow covering was conceded to be un
fortunate, and there were numerous com
plaints regarding the outlook, both for lately-seeded
grain and that which had already
attained a fair growth. Smallness of re
ceipts Northwest appeared to give an ad
vantage to the bulls and so, too, did re
ports of unusual demand for wheat In
Greece, Italy and Sweden.
Corn averaged a little higher, owing to
the prospect of sharper feeding demand on
account of Winter weather. Country offer
ings wera next to nothing. On the other
hand, exporters took 100.000 bushels and
Canada was said to be buying in the North
west. Oats hardened with other grain. The
chief call was from shorts and for the sea
board. Larger arrivals of hogs than expected had
only a brief Influence on provisions. Offer
ings proved scarce and a rally soon followed.
The leading futures ranged as follows:

MEN' WHO AID COW LAUDED
Cursing of Xouths, Who. Would Res
cue Dumb Brute, Costs Owner $20.
Judge Dayton, in District Court, yea
terday took occasion to commend the
humanity of two young: men who ap
peared as witnesses against W. A. Lee,

the two to set aid from the Humane
Society and- cursed them for their
kindly offices.

humane treatment of the beast and im
posed a fine of $20 and costs. The
action was brought upon the complaint

PROFIT ON HOPS $74,000
.Laid to Association.
SHERIDAN. Or,Dec. 11 -(Special.)
lue increase or 1 cent a. pound in the
price of hops Monday represented a
profit of $74,000 to the Oregon growers
who are holding the 1914 crop, accord
ing to figures presented yesterday at a
meeting of the new Oregon Hopgrow
ers' Association.
The results brought about this year
were pointed to as indicative of the
possible Influence of the growers' or
ganization in determining the. 1915
price. No hops can be bought in Ore
gon for less than 12 cents, it is said,
a price that many growers had little
hope of obtaining bwfore organizing.
