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

BIN OF CHINOOK BALMON 13 SLACK
Volatile of Pack of Sorkeyrs Is StlU Un
certainFish Appear Late.
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

SHORTS IM SQUEEZE
July Wheat Price Is Run Up
12 Cents Bushel.
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. Then the market suddenly broke
to 82c, but again shot up to Boc just at tne
close.
Most of the trading in wneat consistea 01
last day evening up of July contracts oy
cattered shorts. The marKet openea -ic to .-c

Committee of Public Information Deny
to Press Publication of Unre
stricted Matter.
WASHINGTON, July 81. The first
result of the new censorship regula
tions promulgated by the committee on
public information was to deny to
newspapers today publication of news
stories announced without restriction
in official quarters.
State Department' officials crave out
some detail of the Belgian mission's
forthcoming visit to Boston. The Rus
sian Embassy announced some detail
of Its forthcoming visit to Chicago. At
the Department of Commerce it was
stated that certain ships had been
transferred to the Navy for coast pa
trol.
All three items were referred to the
committee on public information for
vise and publication was denied.
Later the committee learned that
Secretary Redfield himself had an
nounced the transfer of ships to the
Navy, and thereupon withdrew its re
quest for suppression. The ships are
the Isis, Bache and Surveyor, formerly
of the Coast and Geodetic Survey.
