IAR AGAINST HOPS
England May Prohibit Further
Importations.
MOVE IS CONTEMPLATED
Vnilctl States Will Tijus Lose Onlj
Substantial Foreign Market for
Its Surplus and Prices
Will Suffer.
LOXDOX. JIarch 2". Walter Hunciman.
president of the Board of Trade, announced
In the House of Commons today that th
British government was contemplating the
prohibition of the importation of hops.
The stoppage of exhortations of hops to
Kiiffiand Tvi!l be a serious matter to Amer
ican owners, as only about ttvo-thirds of the
hops produced in this country are used at
home, and a foreign marliet must be found
for the surplus. If this surplus has to be
unlosdd on the American market, prices
wi!!. of course, suffer.
Th. effect, however, will be- felt rather
Jn next season's market than, at present, as
only about a sixth of last year's crop is still
on hand. There are about 43,000 bales left
on the coast, "of which some J2.00 bales are
in Oregon. Export buying. In view of the
action by the British government, will nat
urally stop, and It remains to be seen
whether the domestic trade can absorb the
stoclt that remains. It win be five or six
months before the pew crop Is available and
in that time. It is thought, the Eastern
trovers may absorb 20.000 or 25,000 bales,
which will l"ave only the poorest hops to
carry over. Oregon, fortunately, has but lit
tie of the lowest grade, so stands a good
chance of cleaninar up the remaining stock.
"With prospectj of an excess production in
th. Fall, growers cannot expect much snap
to spot trading during the Spring and Sum
mer, and lower bids are, therefore, looked
for. As for the contract market, it is
feared the demand may be entirely checked,
at least for a time. There Is a. chance, bow
ever, that the British ruling, even if it goes
Into effect, may be modified before the new
crop eorae9 on the market, and there is also
the chance that the war will end before that
time. In the latter event, there will have
to be a complete readjustment of market
conditions.
Between 20,000 and SO. 000 bales of Pacific
Coast hops. bouElit for English account, are
row at New York 'awaiting shipment to
London. Some of these hops have been there
since last October. As practically the entire
quantity has been paid for, it is presumed
the British Government will allow them to
reach their destinations.

No Business Possible in Wheat Market at
Curreut Prices,
Eastern bids for wheat have been de
clining dally and are now much below the
basis at which grain can bo bought In the
country. Trade- with California has also
ceased. Milling business In that state Is
dull, and the millers are disposed to clean
up the stocks they ha e on hand before
they make any more purchases.. California
wheat is also so low that the dealers are not
Interested In Northern red at the prices
asked here. Loral demand Is also slack-
For this reason bid prices were further
reduced at the Merchants' Exchange, aver
aging a cent under those of Wednesday.
Tssrq tias demand for small, quantities
of ajjot oats and barley, and higher prices
were orrered without attracting sellers.
County holders of all cereals have with
drawn from th. market.
Argentine wheat shipments this week are
sttmated at 3. 400.000 bushels.
Terminal receipts, in cars, were reported
by the Merchants' Exchange as follows:

Record March Quotation at Chicago Stock
yards. CHICAGO. March 23. Cattle brought the
highest price today in the History of the
stockyards for the month of March. Prima
steera were sold at $10.05 a hundred.

usually high price which the steers brought
Buyers predicted that within two months
choice cattle will bring $11.
Reports from the farming districts
throughout the United States indicated that
choice cattle were scarce at all markets.
This was caused by the rcosnt foot-and-mouth
disease in IllinoiB and Indiana.
Only 40.000 head of steers were shipped
into the Chicago yards this week, which
was. 30,000 less than shipped to the yards
by farmers tho corresponding- week of last
year. .Buyers at the tit. Louis and Kansas
