Broomhali summarizes foreign crop con
ditions aa follows:
United Kingdom "Weather has become
better, being dry. The outlook for the crops
is Improving.
France Crop prospects are generally fa
vorable. Final results will be very disap
pointing. Germany There is no crop news available,
but the consensus of opinion is that condi
tions are all right. Weather is generally fa
vorable. Russia On the whole, the crop outlok Is
favorable for Winter wheat, but Spring will
be short. The port of Archangel Is fully
reopened.
Roumania, Bulgaria and Greece Good
prospects maintained.
Hungary Crop prospects are favorable.
where growing, but the acreage will be very
short of normal. Food supply in the mon
archy is very short.
India Grain and barley crop Is excellent.
Wheat Is freely offered.
Australia Fair rains have fallen in parts,
but Southern districts are still very dry.
General rain is wanted.
Italy Some damage is reported from the
rec-cnt storm, but generally the crop outlook
ia good.
Spain and North Africa Harvest pros
pects are maintained.
AUSTRIA IS STILL GROWING MOPS
Agitation to Reduce Acreage Has Had No
Effect. v
Austria-Hungary wil probably produce
liormal crop of hops this year, according to
Consul O, X. Hoover, of Prague, who writes
"There has been some agitation for a re
duction of the acreage next year, but no of
ficial action has been taken, and in view of
the unexpected success in marketing tho
1314 crop it is likely that appeals to the
farmers to reduce the size of their gardens
will fall upon deaf ears. At any rate, no
enthusiasm for the plan has been manifested
as yet. The leading men In the hop trade
are of the opinion that there will be no ap
preciable change In the acreage this year.
"The high price of labor, fertilizers, wire.
and all other accessories to hop culture, the
legal measures limiting the production of
malt, and consequently of beer, and the
fact that beer Is not available for the men
now in tne neia ana consumption win 1
cordingly be smaller are advanced as argu
ments for reducing the acreage.
'The 1914 hop crop of Austria-Hungary
Is estimated at 40,370,000 pounds. It la
yet too early" to estimate what the yield
for S915 will be. The Winter has not been
an unusual one, and unless conditions are
especially unfavorable during the growing
season and harvest there Is no reason at
this moment to look for other than a norma
erop this year."
LABELING OF KA!T INDIAN COFFEES
Food Bureau Will IMaruM Meaning of Term
Java."
A public hearing of the labeling of East
Indian coffees will bo held by the Bureau
of Chemistry of the United States Depart
men! of Agriculture on June 4. The partic
ular point to bo discussed is the use of the
term "Java" Food Inspection decision 83
holds that under the food and drugs act
the term "Java" can be properly applied
eel to coffee grown on the Island of Java,
Rapresentstives of the trade, however, assert
that coffee grown on the Island of Sumatra
la superior to much of that produced In
Java, and that since the public has Ions
considered the word "Java" to mean any
high-grade coffee from the East Indies, it
ia perfectly proper to apply It to the Su
matra product also.
According to a Dutch statistical review,
showing the world's coffee trade, the esti
mated production of coffee In the Nether
lands Bait Indies for the crop year 19M-15
was estimated at SOO.000 bags of 00 kilos
each (132 pounds, as follows: Java. 650.000
bags: Sumatra, 110,000 bags; Celebes, etc.,
4,0O0 bags.
SLIGHT BEDUCIOIX IN CHEESE TRICES.
Tillamook Manufacturers Lower Quotations
Quarter of Cent. N
Tillamook cheese prices were reduced a
quarter of a cent yesterday. Although the
Kaatern market is firm and about 3 cents
above a parity with Oregon prices, the Pa
cific Coast markets are weak becauso of the
larger production, both in this state and
in California. At San Francisco, stocks
have accumulated heavily, while in Oregon
many small factories are turning out cheese,
much of it of indifferent quality, and this
has naturally affected tho market for the
Tillamook article.
There was no change In the butter situa
tion, nor any indications of a chango in
prices in the near future.
Eggs were steady at last week's price. Re
ceipts of poultry and meats were light and
prices were unchanged.

The strawberry market was firm with the
best stock selling at $1.T3$2. The ar-
rivals showed the effect of rain and th
proportion of shipping stock was small.
The steamer Beaver brought three
four cars oranges. both navels and
sweets, and a small assortment of vege
tables. Several cars of delayed rail prod
uce were expected to get through from
the South last night. New potatoes con
tinue scarce.

WALLA WALLA HAS HEAVY RAINS
Good Crops Assured, bat Alfalfa Is Leveled
in Place.
WALLA WALLA. Wash.. May 17. (Spe-
ial.) Rains of the last two weeks have

K. H. Tonard, manager of the Portland
Flour Mills of Preseott, who was here yes

NEW YORK. May 17. The undertone and
general aspects of today's very duil and un
interesting stock market were accepted as
an indication that the complex international
situation still is in process of mental di
gestion and that no very definite movement
is probable, pending the receipt of Ger
many's reply to Washington's note.
Bankers and others in high places main-
alned their po.icy of conservatism and the
market was left quite entirely to the devices
of the professional element.
Prices rose vigorously at tne outset, re
ceding fractionally soon ahrrwaril, advanced
and fell again, hut were firm at the end.
War stocks manifested more than their
usual variable tendencies, gaining 3 to 7
points in the first hour, but declining late
on slight offerings.
The clOBlng was dull to the point ot stag
nation. Total sales of stocks amounted to
300.000 shares.
Aside from advices to the effect that the
Lusltania disaster has temporarily checked
new business in finished steel, general news
was encouraging. Leaders in commercial
lines expressed a moderate degree of op
timism regarding conditions in the West and
Southwest, basing their views largely on the
crop outlook, but grain tonnage was below
the corresponding period of last year.
Last weeks decision, or tne interstate
Commerce Commission, ordering severance
of direct relations between the railroads
and lake carriers, provoked some adverse
comment, but no doubt was felt that steam
boat traffic between Buffalo and. Chicago
would be continued. The commission today
made new rulings on various commodity
rates, mainly along the Pacific coast.
