THE MORXPfG OREGOXIAy. WEDNESDAY, SEPTE3IBER 1, 1915. 17 HOP ES1I1TE LESS THAN 100,000 BALES Yards Depleted by Attack of Vermin That Defy Fre quent Use of Spray. WORK MAY END SOON .Many Pickers Expected to Find Help not reded and "Rapid Progress Reported From All districts Where Season Is On. Hon growers in Oregon are keenly disappointed over the small crop that is being harvested this year. Early In the season It appeared to be a big yield of 140,000 or 150.000 bales, but it is doubtful now if the crop will exceed 100. 000 bales. Some well posted authorities believe St may fall to 85,000 or 90,000 bales. Tast year Oregon produced 127,000 bales of hops. The vines mad a good start in the Spring and gave promise of a record yield per acre. Early in the Summer, however, the wet weather brought on a severe attack of hop lice, and in spite of all the efforts of the growers they could not master the plague. Spraying was resorted to promptly by most of the farmers, and some yards were gone over four or five times. At first it Bfemed as if the attack had been checked, but the weather was against the growers, and the vermin reappeared. As a consequence of Che ravages of the aphis and . the accompaniment of honey-dew on the vines, the vitality of the hop p1ant3 was sapped, and the vines bore thin. In some yards great patches produced mo hops at all, and all yards were af fected. There are numerous instances in the valley of yards that usually produce around 100 bales, but will this year have only 5 or 10 bales for the market. A few yards will have no hops at all, or at least not enough to pay for the trouble of picking, and in almost every yard there are portions that the pick ers will have no occasion to visit. The most unsatisfactory reports come from the Aurora, Silverton, Sheridan and Ballston sections, where the abandoned acreage will be large. The Independence section, one of the most important in the state, appears to have suffered least, but conditions there cannot be called good. Picking started yesterday in several of the large Independence yards, and the reports that came in last night were that the pickers were going through then at a rapid rate, indicat ing a thin, top crop. It is feared that many of the pickers who have gone up from this city will be disappointed In finding work. In some of the districts on the east Bide of the river pickers are reported to be hiking along the roads, trying to find new locations, as the yards to which they were first directed had no use for their services. Kntlre Crop to Be Less. Not only in Oregon is the crop com ing down below expectations, but the entire American crop will be much less than was figured upon. The latest es timates by hopmen of the yields of the four hop-producing states is as follows: Bales. Oregon 100,000 California 120.000 "Washington 37,000 New York 15,000 Total 272,000 In Washington hops are doing better than in other states, but the yield this year is lessened by the plowing up of much acreage in the western counties. In California adverse weather has re duced the crop, and New York hops also suffered from unfavorable weather con ditions. The market is not established yet. and it is uncertain whether it will be high or low. All indications, however, point to faiily good prices, as not only is the output in the United States small, but England has produced only half as large a crop as last year, and cannot get needed supplies from Germany and Austria. RAINS WILL CIT DOWN HOP CROP Yield Will Not Be 100.000 Hales, Sayn I. . I'atterMin. FA1.EM. Or.. A up. 31. (Special.) That the Oregon hop crop this year will not exceed HO.OOO bales was the statement made today by I. 1. P;itierson, owner of a larKO hop ranch near Kola, and formerly Collector of I'ustnms for Oregon. If there are heavy rains d urine the, picking season, Mr. Iat t erson s.iid the yield would not exceed 7.1.000. No matter what conditions may be until the crop is harvested, he ald there would be an unusually largo per cent ape of Inferior hoiis. "Probably 75 per cent of the crop of Ore icon is grown in Marion and Polk counties." continued Mr. Patterson. "HI is lit has been a ecriotia factor to contend with in the t wo comities, but with favorably pick hie weather we should have a large quantity of pood hops. "It is difficult to make a prediction as to the prices that will be received. Kn gland, I am Informed, has only about half the crop produced thero last year. If shipping conditions aro good. Oregon growers should get a fair price for their product. The yield in California is about the same as lust year, which was lare. Conditions are such that Oregon growers must insist upon clean picking, which will aid prices mate rially." J. S. Cooper, who has inspected many of the yards in Marion and Folk counties, also estimated the yield in tho state at not more than 10P.00O bales. In summing up condi tions, he eaid: "In the Jefferson and Independence dis tricts the hops are generally in good condi tion and clean. There are. however, several ards that will not produce enough hops to pay for the cost of growing. I think there re yards that will not be picked unV-ss there have been underestimates. The hot weather has aided several yarde, but others were too far gone to have any effect. Idee and honey d?w have wrought havoc in several yards. Spraying saved the hops in the bottom lands, where spraying is necessary every year, but In the uplands, where there has been IKtlo rpraying heretofore, th-e lice have caused great damage. The honey dew this year ha been worse than for many years." DECREASE OF 33 PFR CENT IN CROP Spotted Condition PreTall In Many Yam hill County Yards, M'MIXNVILLE, Or., Aug. 31. (Special. The hop crop will average 35 per cent leas than last year's throughout this coun ty. There are a few yards that may have onTy a shortage of Z0 to 23 per cent, while others will have only half a crop. Weather conditions lately have been ideal for the hops. A light rain within the next week would be a factor in putting the yards In fine condition for picking. Nearly all yard will be in course of picking bv next week. Pickers as usual are plentiful in this cou,nty. and It Is reported that only SO cents per hundred will be paid. One yard near Yamhill, it has been reported here by the owner, will pay SO cents per hundred. Prior to the unfavorable weather condi tions a month ago there was indication of one of the greatest hop crops ever produced in Yamhill County, and the fact that there was a generally excellent crop of vines helped. In a measure, to hold the crop up te better than half crop. A 40-acre yard a mile and a half weet of McMinnvliie has about one-third missing hill, together with other defect common to all hop yards this season, and will not prrtduoe a third of a crop. This one !s an exception, however, all other yards having a heavy foliage and plenty of vines and only few missing hills. - - In general, the yards have much improved the past week, and the prospects are en couraging compared with a week or 10 days ago. ' IS TWENTY-FIVE PER CENT SHORT Washington County Yield Cot Down by Vermin Attack. FOREST GROVE, Or., Aug. 31. (Spe cial.; The work of harvesting the hop crop in this locality will begin on Thurs day or Friday of this week. While the hops are now in good condition, free from mold and other objectionable features, the yield will be 25 per cent below the average. This was caused by the ravages of insects earlier in the season. There are about 30 yards in this section of Washington County, and oik of the larg est is that north of town owned by J. W. Seavey. In that yard there are 160 acres of the best in the county, and 250 people, mostly from Portland, will assist in harvest ing the crop. If the weather conditions con tinue favorable the crop will be harvested in splendid shape. INDEPENDENCE HOP CROP SHORT Only Few of Larger Yards Will Hare Average Yield. . IXDEPEKDEN'CE, Or.. AugT. 31. (Spe cial.) The hop crop In this section will be considerably short of last year's. A few of tha large yards will have about an average yield, but the others will not produce their customary, crops. As a rule, the new yards are making the best showing. The fug g lea that were harvested last week, came down light. Picking has started In a number of the smaller yards. CROWDS GOING. TO THE HOP FTJELDS Special Train From Lebanon' Takes SOO to Independence. LEBANON, Or., Aug. St. The hopptckeref special train, which left Lebanon this morn ing, took 200 to the hop fields about Inde pendence. Many others went by private con veyance and other trains than the special. Fully 500 have gone from Lebanon and other Eastern Linn County towns during the last week. Quality at Albany Good. ALBANY, Or.. Aug. 3L (Special.) Picking is under way now In most of the yards of this section. The crop is coming down well and It is expected the yield will be a llttla better than the average. The quality of the hops Is good. TRADE IN HOGS GROWS LARGE INCREASE IS RECEIPTS IN FAST MONTH. Cattle Movement Holds Its Own, but Market Ins of Sheep la Lighter. Portland's importance as a -hog market center was again demonstrated by the monthly statistics of the Portland Union Stockyards Company, which show a gain in receipts in the past month of 4572 head, as compared with the run In August, 1914.

" ' DElfJD 15 LACKING Lower Prices Bid for Wheat at Local Exchange. OFFERINGS ALSO CHEAPER Traders Are at Sea as to. Future Coarse of Market Xo Hope Seen for Early Foreign De mand for Grain. "With no demand -for wheat, prices con tinue to settle to a lower level. At the Mer chants Exchange yesterday, bluestem held fairly steady at a decline of only 1 cent for prompt delivery, while October bld were unchanged, but the other kinds of wheat were 2 cents to 3 cents lower on the offered price. Selling prices ranged from 8 cents to S cents above the bids and no transactions were posted. For prompt bluestem, the best price of fered was 86 cents, with 90 cents asked, and for October 85 cents bid and 89 cents asked. Prompt club was bid for at 81 cents, while 84 cents was asked by sellers. October club was posted at 79 cents bid and S3 cents asked. Dealers are more or less at sea as to the market. They are unable to see any signs of a betterment in conditions soon, and can do nothing but wait until - the market finally settles. They regard prices here, notwith standing the severe declines, as still too high In comparison with markets elsewhere and they hold out but little hope of attract ing European interest In Northwestern grain. The millers' are also inactive. But for the buying in the first part of the month for account of early ships, the August record of Merchants' Exchange transactions would have been a light one. As it is, the showing s fairly satisfactory, total sales for the month amounting to 105,000 bushels of wheat, 900 tons of oata. 400 tons of barley and 100 tons of mlllfeed, of an aggregate value of $145,575. In Au gust, 1914. from the 18th, when the Ex change opened for business, until the 31st, inclusive, the sales were 120,000 bushels of wheat. 700 tons of oats, 550 tons of barley and 430 tons of feed, of a value of $154,510. Wheat is coming out from the interior slowly, because of the slack foreign demand. Local receipts In August were 816.400 bush els leas than in the corresponding month last year. There was also a lighter movement to tidewater In flour and oats, but an Increase in barley arrivals. Local receipts, in cars. In August, 1915, and August. 1914, compare as follows: Wheat- Barley. Flour. Oats. Hay. August, 191.1. . 11S7 143 83 97 193 August. 1914.. 1815 77 268 135 157 According to a Chicago bulletin. Snow esti mates the wheat yield per acre of Minnesota at 19 bushels, Xorth Dakota at IS bushels, and South Dakota at 17 bushels. The total yield of the three states he places at 391, 000,000 bushels. Bradstreets gives the visible wheat de crease at 867,000 bushels, the corn decrease at 527,000 bushels and the oats increase at 4000 bushels. The European visible wheat supply is 58, 302,000 bushels, a decrease of 1,250,000 bush els. A year ago it was 59,004.000 bushels, an increase of 2,57G,000 bushels. Terminal receipts yesterday.

Further more, stocks In Great Britain, according to Broomhall, will last five months. In his weekly international review he says: "Weather during the past 10 days, has been favorable in Western Europe, and recently turned favorable In the tTnlted Kingdom, and supplies of native wheat are beginning to reach consumptive channels. Growers are disponed to meet buyers' views, and the price, delivered at the mills, is not high. The quality of new wheat Is not meeting satisfaction, but there will prob ably be sufficient good quality to materially affect the demand for foreign wheat, espe cially p.s consumption has been regulated officially toward economy. Therefore, flour demand is light, and many mills are work ing short time. 0 We look for free offers in October of Spring wheat from the United States and Canada, and in the meantime a moderate supply of Winter wKeat will probably sat isfy the demand. "On September 1 the position in the United Kingdom will show reserves of foreign wheat In merchants', millers and bankers' hands at 28,000,000 bushels, with new British crop 64 .000,000 bushels, and in the presence of reduced consumption, will be sufficient for the next five months. Meanwhile, good quantities will be shipped from the United States and Canada, and late December from Australia. "There Is a strong disposition to hold reserves, and enterprising importers would purchase freely, as present price favors this, but the uncertainty of the government's in tention in connection with Canada's crop, discourages this speculation. Merchants are very desirous that this crop 3l1a.ll be mar keted through natural channels," WEATHER FACTOR IX BUTTER MARKET Off-Grade Country Cubes Are at Discount. Fresh Stock Firm. Heavy receipts of off -grade Summer butter continue to keep the market in an unsettled condition, except for fancy cubes, which are scarce and firm. Strictly fresh eggs are also firm, but a large part of the current receipts show the effect of warm weather and are hard to dispose of. Thore was a good demand for hens at 14 cents, and Springs sold readily at 17 cents. Dressed pork was weaker and 9 cents was quoted on the best. Veal was scarce. Orders for Fuggle Hops. There were a few orders on the market yesterday for fuggle hops. A small lot over a contract was sold at 13 cents, and for round lots 14 cents was bid. Most, of the fuggles remaining are in the hands of the association, and are held for a higher price. Exporters are inquiring for fuggles. but are not interested yet in clusters. Demand for Peaches Stronger. The demand for aH kinds of fruit was good, with peaches the center of Interest. This line was firm 1n response to the strength shown at Washington shipping points. The bulk of sales of Taklmas was at 35c to 40c Other fruit prices were un changed. Rank Clearing. Bank clearings of the Northwestern cities yesterday were as follows: Clearings. Balances.

The market for coffee futures opened at unchanged prices to an advance of 4 points op little buy ing, which seemed to come .hiefly from European sources, but soon turned easier under trade selling and scattering liquida tion.

Owinj to Increased Dividends. NEW "YORK. Aus. SI. The extraordinary problems involved in the foreign exchange situation again served as a restraint upon the stock market activity today. With demand sterling, when tho stock market closed, at the almost incredible rate of 4.&iH. and virtually all other foreign bills falling to greater discounts, it was feared that the entire international cnedlt system might suffer severe dislocation and cause the cancellation of many contracts by European Interests. Further foreign selling of our stocks pro ceeded in light volume, but was -without noticeable effect. In fact, it is now real ized that the extent of the European obli gations cannot be overcome short of a credit loan or other form of negotiation running into hundreds of millions of dollars. While American bankers decline to com ment on this phase of the situation, it is believed that the only sort of collateral ac ceptable to the prospective lenders is that consisting of high-grade American secur ities. Stocks moved irregularly and at times sluggishly, most of the trading occurring in the first hour, with more moderate im provement toward the close. Pools con tinued their activity in certain specialties, but failed to enlist outside support. Gains of a point or two in some of these Issues were offset by greater losses elsewhere In the same group. Bethlehem Steel. New Tork Airbrake and Studebakor displaying espe cial heaviness. United States Steel held tenaciously to its leadership, but was more susceptible to realising sales and bear pressure. Coppers essed at time, on rumors of private price concessions for the metal. Railroad shares -were in better demand, increased earnings contributing to that end. but interest mainly in low-grade issues like Erie. Rock Island and Chesapeake A Ohio. New Haven at 6"i gained 1,. High-priced railroads fell back later on rumors of crop damage in the Middle Wst. Total sales amounted to 6S7.00O shares. Our securities were mostly higher in Lon don, particularly Reading and Canadian Pa cific, but quotations received here after London's close showed a reaction. Liquidation of our bonds for ferelgn ac count was again the feature of the bond list, causing general but nominal recessions. Total sales, par value, aggregated $3,575,000. United States bonds were unchanged on call. CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS. Closing aics. :;oo S.ano n,;no 3 3lM 3no 3.'Jio r.oo High. 33 H6 6'1, SI 107 I.OW. '4 3 "4 bid. Alaska Gold .... Am Beet Sti&nr.

WHEAT SELLING LOWER NEW CROP BRINGS CHEAPER PRICE IN CHICAGO MARKET. Heavy Liquidations Are Made on Opes- ins; of Exchange Ideal Weather Conditions Factor. CHICAGO. Aug. 31. Wheat sold down to new low prices for the crop today on liquida tion and ideal weather conditions. Clos ing prices were to 1 Vjc net lower, with September at U3,c and December at 92 c. Corn followed wheat on general selling by local tracers and underwent a net loss of lc to Oats closed strong at a net rise of to c and provisions irregular, Jc lower to 7 He higher. Everybody seemed to have wheat to soil at the opening of the market and prict at the start were to lc ofr. Bt-ars were helped in their domination of the market by the fact that the movement of Spring wheat Is increasing rapidly and threshing 1 progressing well and showing larner yields than first expected. Northwestern returns Indicate that In Minnesota and the Dakotas the crop will be about 1.00-.01H bushels ns against 154, 000,000 bushels last year. Corn, under general selling, followed wheat downward throughout most of ilie entire session, a small temporary rally be ing noted in the last half hour on a cover ing spu rt by sh orts. Oats showed notable strength. The break In other grains was offset by purchasing of September and December by cash houses and the market, which had a. weak open ing, unchanged to a 4c lower, rallied strongly after noon and continued firm to the end. Good buying sent provisions up in all lines except ribs. Pork was down at the start on lower prices for hogs, but the buying strengthened prices a little after midday. Brisk demand helped lard.
