THE MORNING OREGONIAN. THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 1915.
OP TRADE
LAGGING
arket Lacks Support
and
Prices Are Weak.
RADE EAST INDIFFERENT
reign Buyers Arc Probably Re
strained by Unsettled Financial
Cond i t ions G rowers Not
Pressing Sales.
Efforts to arouse buyers' Interest in Ore-
n liop3 do not meet with success. The sea-
n is nearly a month old, but only a few
inor transaction have been reported. Not
any hops are bcinfr offered by growers, yet
certain amount of business could be done
dealers were able to make rales. The
rices quoted aroumi dO cent, pre Tar from
itisfactory to producers, and If accepted,
ould mean a net low to some of them.
here is nothing in sight, however, td in-
cate that prices will be better in the near
tit u re.
Kastern brewers cannot be tempted to take
old at this time. Some of them have eup
lies that will carry them well into next
oar and a few are known to have even a
wo years' supply. Others are influenced
y the pproad of prohibition and all of them
el the effect of the country-wide business
cpression.
A few dealers, in their efforts to secure.
business, have named low er prices. It is
known that ofl'eia have been made to brew
ers as low as 12 cents, delivered, and prob
nbly a lower figure has been indicated. In
the face of a declining market, consumers
are, therefore, disposed to hold off.
It was thought there would be export
business before this date, but the English
buyers are also holding back. Cabled of
forj to London on the basis of 10 cents to
the Oregon grower have met with no re
sponse. Either the English brewers are in
the same position as those in America,
stocked up and afraid of the future, or else
financial conditions deter them from oper
ating. If it is the foreign exchange situ
atioda that is preventing Englah buying,
there should be Relief on this score before
long.
in the meantime the growers, whilo dis
appointed, are not forcing their hops on the
market, and this is keeping prices here
about steady. home of the dralers would
like to buy cheaper, particularly those who
t-till have sals uncovered, but the market
remains t the 10-cent level. A few lots
of Oregons were offered on the market yes
terday at 8" and 0 cents, but they were
below prime in grade.
In Washington a little business is still
being done. Th Scavey Hop Company re
cently bought a selection of 106 bales from
the Cyr crop of Yakiniaa a 11 cent, and
200 bales more of the same lot sold later at
10 rents. Yesterday, sales of C00 bales oi
Takimas at 9 cents were announced. Noth
ing Is doing in the California market, ac
cording to latest accounts.
J1IDK MARKET UAIN'S IN STRENGTH
Firmer Tone in Kaat for Country and
rarker Varieties.
There has been a change for the better
In the Eastern hide markets in the past
week, where country hides as well as pack
ers have become f li mor. Mail advices from
Chic go say of the situation :
"There has been a more or less fluctuating
market of late in domestic packer hides.
last week the tituatlon showed decidedly
"weak symptom?, with liberal trading in
lignt native cons at marked recessions,
but following thi3 bustness the market re
covered sharply on native cows, with sales
of lightweights at 22 cents and later up to
2-V cents, white heavy native cows moved
In sizable quantities at the full asking fig
ure of -4 cents. Native steers are steady
-with fair-sized sales at 2G cents last paid,
but branded hides are lower. One packer
accepted 22 cnts as a flat price for light
and extreme Texas steers together, and butt
brands and Colorados at 2Hfe cents, showing
a drop of U cent on butts and ' cent on
fide brands.
"The volume of business, however, is
keeping up fairly well and if an apparently
resumed demand for shoes and equipment
goods from Europe continues packer hides
may again show a boom. At any rate, the
strength of the market Is plainly evident.
Inasmuch as prices did not have to sag to
much extent before heavy quantities were
taken and values almost immediately " re
acted upward. Tanners having -war equip
ment orders, etc, can afford to pay higher
prices, but producers of leather suitable
for domestic uso report continued quietude
and will either hav to reduce their input
into tanneries or shut down until bides ac
cumulate sufficiently to warrant a reduc
tion in values.
"Country hides are firmer than a week
pgo. lsrgo tanneries which recently talked
that their views on buffs, etc., were as low
as IS cents have since entered the market
and paid 19 cents to cents for buffs
and heavy cows together, while heavy cows
and heavy steers when sold alone command
a premium.
"Calfskins are in a firm position East
and "West, for while the demand is not ac
tive, stocks are decidedly scant."
THIRD ALFALFA CROP FIT IN
Grain Threshing Is Practically Completed.
Soil Too Iry for Seeding.
Following is a summary of the crop con
ditions in Oregon for the week, as reported
to tho local office of the weather bureau
by special correspondents throughout the
state:
Although showers fell in the Western
counties on the 23d, 24th and 27th, and In
some limited areas of North -Centra I Ore
goo on the SMth, which benefited pastures
and j-ardens to some extent, there is still
need for rain in all portions of the state.
Tho warm weather has been favorable
for the maturing of fruit and garden truck.
The picking and drying of prunes has been
about comp'eted and the harvesting of ap
ples and pears has begun. In tho Eastern
Oregon valleys the peach crop was very
liravy and the quality excellent, but owing
to an over-supplied market many tons of the
choicest fruit is going to waste.
Threshing has been practically completed,
and ihe farmers are preparing the soil for
seeding, but littie wheat will be sown until
tho Kali rains have " commenced. While
waiting for the rain, the ranchers are haul
ing their wood and Winter's supplies.
Irrigated crops of alfalfa are very good,
and the third crop is being put up in some
sections.
Tomatoes are plentiful and of excellent
quality. Seasonable fruits and vegetables
ara In the local markets in abundance, and
the quality is very good.
LOCAL WHEAT BIDS ARE ADVANCED
Of fen Rained One to Two Cents at Mer
chants Exchange.
There was a disposition to bid up October
wheat prices on the Merchants Exchange
yesterday, but no sales were posted. Club
bids were raised 2 cents, forty-fold 1
cents and bluestem and red wheat 1 cent
over the prices offered Tuesday. Country
reports were of a continuance of moderate
buying at steady prices.
Barley on. the whole was firm, but offers
at the exchange were reduced 25 to 50
cents. Oats bid were unchanged.

Turlock Cantaloupes Sell Well.
The car of Turlock cantaloupes distributed
yesterday met with .ready sale at 91.85 for
standards, $1.25 for ponies and 85 cents
for flats. This shipment will probably be
the last of the season, unless local .stock
is- available. 6
A large shipment of California Muscat
grapes arrived. They were quoted at $1.25
t& i.dti per crate. Other grapes were un
changed In price.
Dressed Meats Are Lower.
Dressed meats were weak and lower yes
terday, especially pork, because of large re
colpts. The best quotation on pork was 8
cents and on Veal 11 cents. Poultry was
also plentiful and slow at the old prices.
No changes were reported in the ess or
butter markets.

NEW TORK. Sept. 29. Completion of the
preliminaries connectea with flotation of the
Anglo-French loan used as a lever for
another extravagant movement In special
stocks today, but ealna were largely. If not
wholly, obliterated before tho close, the
weight of realizing sales overcoming ab
sorptive capacity. All record, of recent
years as to activity, breadth and extent were
surpassed in tho first half of the session, at
which time quotations were at highest lev
els. Trading slackened later with a general
recession of prices, but total transactions
again approximated the large total of 1,575.
Guu shares.
It was evident that selling for profits was
proceeding on an enlarged scale, while new
buying seemed to be of a mor, cautious or
tentative character. In the opinion of the
onlookers, tho movement consisted largely
of eecondary speculative buying and profes
sional selling, supply giving away to demand
at the end.
There were Indubitable signs also that the
frenzied movement In war shares had caused
a further withdrawal of investors, pending
some readjustment of the existing abnormal
situation.
A temporary rise of 1 to 8 points In rail
ways and other Issues which once ruled as
speculative favorites was regarded as a
cloak for liquidation In less stable quarters
of the list.
Specialties, especially those of a more di
rect war variety, derived some- of today's
added strength from the revival of rumors
of new deals or mergers. Wall street be
lieves that some of tho companies, whose
stocks are now In the forefront, will figure
In one or more industrial combinations, but
details connected with these reported proj
ects are being carefully withheld.
Included among the apeclalties which broke
all previous high records were Continental
Can, up 17U points at 111; 1-ackawanna
Steel, 7 points at 63, and American Car
& Foundry 4 points at 85. Home of these
maximums were reduced by 8 to 0 points,
while other aativo specialties closed at actual
losses. ;
B'oreign exchange reflected by Its strength
the settlement of the details of the inter
national loan, but offerings of bills on Lon
don and ParUs wer relatively light.
Bonds were Irregular, with some selling
of high-grade issues in the later dealings.
Total sales, par value, aggregated $6,7."0,0u0.
United States bonds unchanged on call.

Tiring Aid to Clielialis I-iid.
CHEHALItf. Wash.. Sept. 20. (Spe
cial.) Iast night a daring hold-up was
perpetrated In the cast part of town, on
Sixth street. The victim was Harry
Roisom, a 16-year-old boy who is em
ployed in the 1'hesant Pharmacy. A
telephone ;all to the drugstore asked
that some medicine be sent, at once, to
a number on Sixth street. Koisom took
the parcel, mounted his bicyle. and rode
to the number Riven. There he was
seized by three masked men, who at
tacked him, but his Bcreams attracted
the attention ot & resident of a nearby
house and his assailants fled.
The presumption is that the trio ex
pected either the proprietor of the
store, or his clerk. Mr. Llewellyn, to
answer the call and that they expected
either of these men wiuld. carry some
cash. No arrests have been made.

LONGS RUSH TO SELL
Chicago Traders Fear Opening
of Dardanelles.
PRICES SLUMP IN PIT
Last Quotations Over Cent Ixcr on
Possibilities of Release or Rus
sia's Vast Stores Late Ral
lies Are Not Lasting.
CHICAGO. Sept. 29. Wheat underwent a
bearish reaction today, largely in const
quenc. of reports which suggested a growing-
likelihood of the opening of the Dar
danelles. The market closed unsettled, lc to
l?c net lower, with December at 94 H
94c and May at OTVifeTHc. Corn lost
Mc to 2Ho and oats a shade to l4c. In
provisions, the result ranged from 7Ho de
cline , to a rise of 20c.
Htavmess, which prevailed In the wheat
msrket during most of the day, was in
decided contrast with strength shown at tho
outset. Attention to possibilities of the Dar
danelles being again opened to Russia's vast
supply of stored wheat finally resulted in a
majority of dealers turning decisively to the
bear side. There was a rush by longs to
unload and by short to reinstate lines. Sub
sequent rallies were slight.
Corn sagged under the influence of talk
about Argentine competition and because
of the downturn in wheat. Cold weather
and predictions of frost failed to have any
lasting bullish afreet.
Oats merely reflected the weakness of
other praln. Trdo was light.
Packers' buying rallied provisions. Tho
market at first was In the hsnds of tha
bears, owing to a temporary decline in ths
nog market.

HEPPNER BANK IS SUED
WOMAN SAYS HER MO Mir WAS
LOANED WITHOUT Al'TnORITV.
Mrs. Knmi It. Welch, of Washington
State, Seek, to Recorer Al
leged Balance of S5676.
In a suit filed tn the t'nitc-l Scales
Court yesterday. Mrs. liinma R. Welch,
a resident of WasliinKton Htate. alleges
ttiat the First National Bank, ot Hepp
ner. Or., lent out without authority
from her and without consulting har
money she had on deposit aggregating
more than $12,000.
i!he is suing for the return to her by
the bank, with interest, of $5676.76,
which she alleges In her complaint to
be the net total of her money lent out
by the bank without her consent, after
$7500 on one loan of $10,000 had been
put back to her credit when she ob
jected. Mrs. Welch says ehe was a resident
of Heppner when her husband died, in
1893. leaving her about $25,000 in cash
at the bank. She says that when she
ramoved from Heppner later she left
this money on deposit at the request of
the bank.
Then without her knowledge. Bhe as
serts, $10,000 of her money was lent
by the bank to the Heppner Railroad
& Coal Company. On her objection
$7500 was put to her credit, but she
declares the bank declined to put back
the remaining $2500. The Heppner
Railway & Coal Company later became
insolvent, and she says she has no:
received the $2500.
ishe also alleges that the bank lent
out without her consent $2645. 0U to C.
A. Rhea. Though $1000 of this was
repaid by Rhea, he later became in
solvent, according to the complaint,
and she has not received the balance.
She is suing the bank for both sums.
Boothe & Richardson, of Portland, are
her attorneys.
