TIIE MORNING OREGOXIAN. WEDXESDAT. AUGUST 1, 1917. 19 HOPS AT 15 GENTS Pacific Coast Market Is Climb ing Fast. BREWERS FACE SHORTAGE Crop Estimates in Oregon, Califor nia and "Washington Are Being Xowered Red Spider Causes Damage in Tliis State Vhe hop market is cllmblns fast. Only a few weeks ago buyers would not consider new hops at any price. New contracts are strong at 15 cents. Five hundred bales of 2917 Yaklmas were sold on contract at to cents, and the same price was paid for 1000 bales of Mendocinos and Sonomas. Buyers were freely offering; 15 in both the Cali fornia districts yesterday. -Vrop Oregons and later a cent more was bid. Now the market Is quoted at 15 cents and It Is doubtful whether any hops could be bought at that price. The Pacific Coast crop Is not looking good. Until recently it was thought the reduced acreage in Oregon would produce 0,000 bates. Now some of the dealers be lieve it will not go over 30,000 or 35.000 bales. In addition to the bad effects of the prolonged dry spell and the poor culti vation, due to the labor shortage, the red spider is causing damage around Inde pendence and in other sections. A letter received from California yester day said the crop situation is bad In that state, as there has been ten days of very hot weather following an abnormally dry season. The writer said the California crop would bo less than 80,000 bales. Washington will not produce over 20,000 bales of hops this year, according to au thorities in that state. The total United I? tales crop may be under 150,000 bales, while a conservative estimate of the supply Seeded by brewers Is 1 S5.000 bales. Crop conditions in New Toric state are given by the "Watervllle Hop Reporter as follows: "During the pa(t four warm pleasant days much work has been accom plished in the yards. The vines are pre senting a fine appearance and only a small amount of mold is noticeable. Close watch ing and spraying are the only means of competing successfully with this plague. Humors of good offerings for contracts are about and the outlook for a satisfactory, though light, harvest, is very promising." The Chicago Brewers' Bulletin says: "Local JCealers are receiving more inquiries than having been consummated in the last few days. Eastern advices indicate similar con ditions." MILU'EED PRICES ARE 1 HIGHER I.ck of Sellers Restricts Trade In Wheat Market. MUlfeed price, were advanced another $1 ton yesterday. The wheat market was reported steady, but no new business came to light. Grain, flour and hey receipts for the first month of the crop year compare with the same month last year as follows: July, July. 1617. 1010.

Total crop of 602.- 000,000 bushels or 23.000,000 bushels more than last year." The weather forecast for the Middle West, as wired from Chicago: "Somewhat lower temperature tomorrow, but no rain, Illinois, Missouri. Iowa, fair with con tinued high temperature today. Wednes day, probably local thunder showers and cooler In Northern Illinois and Iowa. South Dakota partly cloudy. Probably local thunder showers In east portion."

Although the sockeye run has made Its appearance In the Fraser River, the run of Chinook In the Lower Columbia la still very lack. The packers have not secured half as many fish as they believe ,they should, considering the present stage of the water. Sockeye. were reported plentiful In the traits, but It Is not certain yet that the canners'wlll have a normal output. In com menting on the lateness of the appearance of the fish, the Canadian Grocer said: "The sockeye is a four-year fish. Tbls means that the fish spawned in the Fraser In 3i13 will return to the river this year to spawn, and this year, according to the calendar. Is the big year. Whether It will be this year or not remains to be seen. Not that the sockeye has changed its nature. but that circumstances four years ago were disastrous to the spawning salmon. The Canadian Northern Railway was blasting Its way along the banks of the Fraser, and much of the debris was thrown Into the already-swift waters of the river. In this wav manv of the resting places used by the salmon in their long Journey up the river were filled in and the salmon were unable to make way against the stream. "Realizing the danger, the British Colum bia Department of Fisheries spent hun dreds of thousands In the building of a fishway to help the salmon past these swifter places. This was only partially successful and hundreds of thousands of fish died before they were able to reach the spawning grounds. For this reason there is a strong feeling that, the beds were only partially seeded and that the big run for this year, at least, will not materialize." GOI.DENDAM GRAIN CROP IS GOOD Eighty Per Cent Better Than I-at Tear and Acreage Quarter Morea Crop conditions In the Goldendale district stnd in Central Oregon are reported to W. C. Wilkes, assistant general freight and passenger agent of the Spokane, Portland St Eeattle Railway, as follows: From J. T. Hardy, T. F. and P. A., B. P. B. and Oregon Trunk Railways. Bend. Or. July 27: "In looking into the crop condition this week along the S. P. & S. and In Cen tral Oregon. I find that the crops, as I have reported dally, are going to be pretty short in the Central Oregon country, but we will make up for It along the S. P. & S. and the Goldendale branch. The crops In the Center ville and Goldendale districts are fine and will be 80 per cent better than last year with a quarter more acreage. In the Blckle ton and Blue Light district the crops will be about as good as they were last year with quite an Increase In acreage. Around Mau pin the crop is good and will be almost as good as last year. The remainder of Central Oregon If the growers get five or six bushels to the acre they will do well." From agent, Madras, July 80: Temper ature dropped to 32 above Saturday night with a light frost that nipped some of th potatoes here and there In this territory, but no damage of material Importance re Sorted. Nights are now very cool and the days are very warm. Cutting is now start ing and should be able before long to ar rive at an estimate of average yield." POTATO BLIGHT TO BE FEARED Signs of Vines Are Beginning to Show Trouble Ahead In its report of crop conditions, the American fo'teel &. "Wire Company says of the potato outlook: "Potato acreage increased 15 per cent Potatoes needed as never before. Hunger is stalking right over the hill, there not 3000 miles away. The weather conditions have been, and continue to be, so great a mnance to the potato crop. "We are startled. In Michigan late blight of the potato destroys one-fourth to one-half of the potato crop whenever the weather of the first half of the growing season is cool and wet. We have exactly such conditions this year. A severe epidemic of late blight may be ex pected. What is true of Michigan may easily be true of other potato-producing sections. Already potato vines are showing signs of the trouble ahead. Spots of the early blight are beginning to appear. August will bring the dreaded late blight. Spraying with Bor deaux mixtures controls both. While the amateur city gardener does not know about potato diseases, if he is told once he will go ahead and do the right thing. Don't worry about him; he will save his patch. The farmer has been told about spraying over and over again, and he still needs to be told. He holds the fate of the Nation la his hands." ITarvent Better Than Expected. W. G. Paine, of the North Bank line at Spokane, wired to W. C. Wilkes, assistant general freight and passenger agent of the road, as follows: "Clear, calm and warmer this morning. Scattered reports of harvesting operations not so disappointing as expected. Some fields yielding normal average, but Spring grain not worth cutting In many Instances. More or less damage to gardens by frost Sunday. Kxtra Creamery Bntter Firm. The butter market is holding firm, with cube extras generally selling at 40 cents, though one fine lot brought 40 cents. There Is much off-grade butter on the mar ket, for which the outlet is poor. Ejgs were steady at 3(5 cents, case count, with a moderate shipping demand. Poultry and dressed meats were un changed. targe Trade in Watermelons. Watermelons were In good supply and quoted lower at $1.85 2 a hundred, loose. Sales were large. Cantaloupes were also In demand at steady prices.

EARLY MARKET HIGH Favorable Report by Steel Corporation Is -Anticipated. LATE SELLING EFFECTIVE Rail Are More Active and Firmer, Aided by Decision of Inter state Commerce Commission. Bond Trading Is Quiet. NEW YORK, July 81. Probably In antici pation of a favorable report by the United States Steel Corporation for the second quarter, but more likely because of technical conditions, today's early stock market moved steadily upward. Extensive' selling in the last hour more than obliterated some of these gains, the list closing with an ir regular tone. Steels and most of the war and semi- war descriptions rose 1 to almost 3 points in the forenoon and motors, in which a large Interest Is said to exist, scored gross gains of 1 to 8 points on active dealings. Coppers, sugars, tobaccos and leathers shared unevenly In the temporary rise. gains varying from 1 to 5 points. Ralls were more prominent than usual. being helped to higher levels by the de cision of the Interstate Commerce Commis sion, allowing higher rates for coal and coke In Western and Southern sections, but the late selling also affected that division. a he steel statement, which did not Issue until after the close of the session, dis closed total earnings of J90.S7n.204. Steel's high quotation of the day was 123; Its lowest and last 12344. a net loss of IV points. Among the more backward Issues were Industrial Alcohol and Distillers Securities. Alcohol recorded an extreme Iobs of 6 points. Tetal sales of stocks amounted to 020.000 shares. The bond market was again nominal as to dealings with liberty 3 14 s at 99.40 to 99.4.. Total sales of bonds, par value, ag gregated 2,573.000. United States bonds (old issues) were unchanged on call. CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS. Closing Faies. High. Low. blu.

OATS GAIN NEARLY AS MUCH September Options Are Lower Witti More Favorable Crop Reports. Corn Fluctuations Held Down by Action of Board. CHICAGO, July 81. In the last-of-the-tnonth squeeze today shorts had to bid July wheat up 12 cents a bushel and July oats up 11 cents. An even more acute pinch in settling July corn contracts was averted by recent action of the Board of Trade di rectors, whereby all fresh dealings in the July delivery were forbidden. Corn closed nervous, lc off to He up, with Septem ber $1.64H and December $1.17 Vi 1.17. Wheat finished unsettled, varying from 7c decline to 12c advance, at $2.74 for July and $2.17 for September. The outcome In oats ranged from c setback to a gain of 0c. Provisions showed a rise of 12c to 87c except July pork, which lost 20c. Aside from the flurries which attended the windup of July contracts in wheat and oats, the main interest centered In free selling of new-crop deliveries of corn. The general run of crop reports, except from Kansas and Oklahoma, were favorable. Be sides forecasts pointed to cooler weather, with showers, and there were hopes that this might extend to the Southwest. Demand for corn for immediate use, especially by dis tillers, remained so urgent that cash corn and the September option rose to new hlwh price records. No. 2 yellow touching $2.33, about quadruple ordinary values before the Vjnmp to the unprecedented price of 00c bushel was forced In tbe July aeuvery 01 oats before the wants or snorts were sat isfied.
