Jlavc Made Xo Purchases Vet.
Effect ot England's Sa
loon Policy "otd.
After a montli of almost complete in
activity, th hop market has suddenly
awakened. Tho resumption of business, as
might have been expected, has been at a
lower rango or values than prevailed before
trading ceased.
In the past two days about 1000 bales of
191.r have been signed up in this state and
In "WoKhlnRton. Most of these contracts
ware made, at 11 cents, hut a few were
written at 10Vi. cents. At the higher fisure
a local dealer has contracted for 30O.000
pounds at "VVoodburn, Banks and Blount
Angel. Other dealers signed up .10.000
pounds at Atrlle, St. Taul and Dayton at
1HJ and 11 cents. In tho Yakima section
70.000 pounds were bought on contract at 11
cents.
No business has been closed In spot hops,
but dealers are Interested in last year's
crop. ad as sales have been put through
In Caifornia, it Is likely there may be some
activity In this line here, thoush only a few
lots of 3014 Oregon hops remain In growers
hands.
The Idea has taken hold of the hop trade
that the British government will permit the
ale of beer, but will suppress all traffic
In strong liquors during the course of the
war. It is because of this belief that a
more cheerful feeling pervades the hop
trade. Still It Is not thought likely that
hop consumption will soon assume its nor
mal proportions in Great Britain, as the
sentiment against drinking lias been strong
Jn the past few months.
Tho condition of the London market was
described by Wild, Neame & Co., under date
f March SI. aa follows: "The uncertainty
of the threatoned legislation in regard to"
the brewing trade has seriously affected the
demand, and trade for the time being is
practically at a standstill."

Foreign crop conditions are summarized
by Broomhall as follows:
United Kingdom An official report states
the outlook for wheat is generally satisfac
tory, w ith the acreage showing an increase
of 10 per cent. Sowing of Kpring wheat is
variable and so far disappointing.
France Officials report the outlook for
Winter wheat is satisfactory, and Spring
fair. Our advices are to the effect that
Winter will be a short crop and Spring sow
ing disappointing, and actual conditions do
not confirm government's contentions. Na
tive supplies are scanty.
Germany Crop and weather reports are
favorable. Acreage planted is understood to
be over normal. Potato prices are moderate
and feeding grain extremely dear. Reports
regarding the extreme, shortage are believed
to be erroneous,
Russia The outlook for wheat and rye is
generally satisfactory. Weather is season
able, being mild. Prices throughout the
Empire are being maintained and atill little
grain is moving. Reports from our various
agents say the surplus of breadstuffs is
a mall.
Roumania Crops are growing well, with
weather favoring.
Hungary Crop prospects where planted
are reported as favorable, but the acreage
Is greatly curtailed.
Austria Food prices continue to advaneo
and a very serious outlook is evidenced.
Bread riots continue and stocks of all food
grain are understood to be very light.
Australia Rainfall fair and agricultural
prospects good.
Italy Crop prospects are officially report
ed as favorable, but our advices are pessi
mistic. Importation is on a very large
scale and further takings are necessary.
Argentina Weather is still unsettled, with
rain la parts. Somo damago reports are
coming to hand from corn as a result of the
wet weather. Shipments of new during
April are unlikely. Contracts are being can
celed. India Weather is mostly favorable for
harvesting, but arrivals to ports are light.
Exporters are buying for government ac
count. Some exportation is expected during
May. but on a very limited scale.

TRUST IS' FAVORED
Government Policy Injures
Western Wool Growers.
ANTI-TRUST LAW VIOLATED
Rational Association Denounces
Agreement With Great Britain
by Which. Colonial Wools
Are Imported.
The National Wool Growers' Association
has issued the follow ins statement;
In referring to the importation of wool
from Great Britain into the United States,
the secretary of the National Wool Growers'
Association recently spoke as follows:
"Early in the year Great Britain issued
Its embargo preventing her colonies from
exporting wool to the United states. The
supply of domestic wool, in addition to that
obtainable in South America and other
non-British, countries, was more than suf
ficient to meet the needs ot the United
States without any imports from Australia
or South Africa. In fact wo produce in this
country more than 60 per cent of the wool
that wo use for clothing.
"Tho big American woolen trust, however,
was anxious to flood the country with wool
so that American woolgrowers would be
forced to sell their wool at low prices, and the
bin aupplies imported from British countries
wrould enable these manufacturers to sell
large quantities of woolen goods at big
prices to the armies of Europe, which " in
turn would enable them to advance the price
of woolen goods to American consumers. So,
therefore, as soon as Great Britain issued
orders preventing our manufacturers from
buying wool in her colonies, these manu
facturers ffent a delegation to the Secretary
of State. William J. Bryan, and asked him
to Intercede with Great Britain so as to al
low this great woolen trust to import all
the British wool it wanted.
"In referring to this conference with Mr.
Bryan, the National Association of Wool
Manufacturers in a recent publication says:
A committee of this association called upon
the Department of State and laid before
it certain essential information, and the De
partment promised Its active support. From
that time the subject was one of frank, and
vigorous representation by the Department
to the British Government, with the result
that soon after tho new year the govern
ment of Australia modified the embargo so
that merino woola could be exported op cer
tain conditions to the United States.'
"The conditions upon which these wools
are being imported, which evidently were
agreed to by the Department of State, are
the most outrageous and unfair and illegal
propositions ever entered into by any de
partment of our Government or counte
nanced by such a department. In order to
get this wool into the United States, which
we did not jieedi these manufacturers, evi
dently with the consent of the Department
of State, entered into an agreement with
Great Britain to prohibit the exportation of
American wool. They further agreed that
when this foreign wool came Into the United
States it must be consigned to one or two
men. and no one can get any of it unless
he agrees not to export it or the products
made from it and that he will prevent as
far as Dosslble the exDOrtation of American
wool. Also, no one can get any of this wool
unless he belongs to the Boston Wool Trade
Association, the National Association or
Wool Manufaoturers or the Textile Alliance,
and. even though he belongs to these insti
tutions, wool will be Issued to him as is seen
fit by one or two persons in control. Such
an agreement as this puts the little wool
manufacturers out of business and will
place our whole manufacturing industry, if
carried out, in the hands ot a few fuvored
concerns, who will advance the price of
clothing.
"This agreement, by which we are Im
porting wool, is a clear violation of the anti
trust laws of the United States. The Na
tional Wool Growers' Association took the
matter with the Attorney-General of the
United Mtates long ' ago. and urged him to
prosecute these people who had entered into
thi, 0i-oment- However, so far the At
torney-General has apparently done uothing
with this matter. The big woolen trust
seems to get everything it wants. Originally
It advocated placing wool upon the free list
and the retention of a high duty on manu
factures of wcel, ana n was aoie i "
just what it wanted. Now it has been able
to bring about the Importation of large
quantities of wool by means of an illegal
agreement and thus deprive tho American
woolgrower of a fair market for his wool.
Germany was anxious to buy large quanti
ties of wol In the United States and did
buy a considerable volume, but this illegaf
agreement, of course, prevented the expor
tation of such wool.
"American woolgrowers, however, are go
ing to hold their wool for good prices. They
believe that in spite of all the skulduggery
nsw being practiced under the Textile Al
liance's agreement, and which the Attor.
ny-General seems disposed to overlook, the
great Amerlcun woolen trust will ba forced
to handle their clip at a good price Wool
growers, anyhow, are going to hold their
Z,.r.t ,.! after it is shorn, and probably
by that time natural conditions will inter
vene tO advance prices mqicninj,
STEEL TAKES LIST DOWN
I.KADS EARLY ADVANCE AND THEN
STARTS DECLINE.
Selling I Caused by Cautionary Trade
Statement Issued by Head'
of Corporation.
NEW YORK, April 19. Investment stocks
rose 3 to 5 points in the first four hours of
today's rtcord-breaking session, but lost a
considerable part of their gains in the final
hour when United States Steel fell back 4
points on an admonitory trade statement
issued by its chief executive.
Steal had led the early advance, not so
much in actual gain as in its activity, and
its leadership was accepted as further proof
of the inherent strength of the speculative
situation. On its decline, in the late trading,
it carried other seasoned shares down 2 to 4
points, obliterating some gains entirely and
reducing others to nominal proportions.
Steel closed at 57, a maximum decline of
4 points and a net loss of 2.
Erstwhile war specialties, with a few ex
ceptions, were relegated to positions of sec
ondary importance throughout the session.

With New Orchards Hearing Crop
lixpeeteil to Kfj.ua 1 That ff 1911.
WK.NATCHKK, "Wash., April 19.
(Special.) Judgins from the present
condition of the apple trees at blossom
ing period, it is predicted the apple
crop of the Wenatchee district will
equal or exceed that of last year, 6570
cars, because of the youns trees which
will come into bearing this year. It Is
generally thought by the estimators
that the crop of old trees of most varie
ties will be lighter than last year.
The production is spotted, some or
chards of old trees being loaded, while
others of the same varieties are light
in crop. Various reasons are assigned
for this condition. The loss of vitality
due to continued heavy bearing and the
presence of mildew.
