Newspaper Page TextTHE MORNING OREGOXIAN, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 2G, 1917. HOP PRICES FALL Market Is Off About Fifteen Cents From Top. NO SUPPORT FROM EAST Extreme Values Established on Pa cific Coast Could Xot 15e Main tainedNew Business Devel ops in Next Year's Crop. The hop market lacks all support and prices are declining without interruption. Each sale made by dealers recently has been at a cheaper price than the preceding ale. It is almost impossible to interest brewers, and dealers in the East, who are supposed to be still short, are making no efforts to cover at this timt. There was a report on the market yester day of a sale of Yakima hops at 35 cents, but the trado in general considers the mar ket as rather under the "O-cent mark. A Butieviile lot of 73 bales, which has Just been ttkcn in, was purchased recently at this price, but following this deal orders wrre filled on the basis "of '27 cents to the Biower. The next sale was a ti.".-bale lot at L'O cnts, and yesterday the best price indicated by Eastern buyers was 25 cents. Oregon Krowers are holding l!ght stocks and only a fewr of them are trying to sell, hut dealers are reducing their stocks when tho opportunity offers. The larger part of the business recently done was in this class of hogs. Last year's crop is sharing In the general -weakness and the usual run of lOIGs are juted now at 171$ cents. The California market is quoted on the basis of ;0 rents asked for the best Sonomas, but no business is passing. There is some interest already in the 1018 crop. Contracts have been signed In Cali fornia at 17 cents for Sacrament os and 5 S 20 rents fur Sonomas and Mendoclnos. Local dealers believe business could be done in next year's Oregons at 17 to IS cents. ADVANCE IX WOOL PRICES CHECKED Government Mensnres ITalt T'pward Ten deney of Market. The wool mnrket in the East continues fftrong, but according to trade advices from Ho-ton, tho Ioverii;ncrt influence appears to be preat enough to prevent any upward swing: in prices from the current high level. The developments with regard to importa tions of woo! from Australia, the report that an agreement had been reached for the sale f tho Cape clip to the British government end the campaign for subscriptions to the lil-tity loan among members of the wool tiE.de have shared with actual business the attention of tho market the past week. On the side of the business accomplished m. feature has been renewed interest in both . domestic aud scoured wools, a considerable volume of this clays of staple being ab eorted during the period. Home lots of choice domestic scoured have fetched as liigh as $L7o. A si-ielo house has disposed of something like -;jo,M0 pounds of do mestic Rcovred, the terms being kept pri vate In foreign wools, bo til South. Ameri can and Cape sort:, scoured have absorbed a sizable .share of the business noted. Trans fers of Cape wools have run largely to lots of fine scoured, fold on the basis of $1.5t to ?1.G5. The distribution of eome I7. pounds or so- of low scoured at $1 to $1.10 is noted. Aside from scoured wools, domestic sorts e moved less actively t lie past week than previously. Among the individual trans actions are (in.doo pounds Montana at !" cents: a like amount of Soda Springs quarter-blood at 7( cents ; :i5,0H0 pounds Soda springs low quarter-blood at 0S cents; L'o, oou pounds Arizona at 50 cents ; 100.000 pounds fine and fine medium at $1.70 clean; fcood assortments of Jine medium and half blood, of the French-combing order, at $1.70 to $1.7.".; a substantial amount of thri-e-eighths-bloe-d at 7i cents; some Soda Springs quarter-blood at 7i cents, and "Wyoming quarter-blood at cents.

MARINES STRONG FEATURE Steels and Other Industrials Higher Until Closing: Hour Market Closes With Weak Undertone. Liberty Bonds Strong. NEW YORK, Oct. 25. Kor the further liquidation of rails, which again unsettled the stock market today, the explanation commonly accepted was that the movement bore direct relation to enforced selling inci dent to the seizure o Oerman holdings in this country. This was strengthened by the fact that the stocks t"hat suffered greatest losses included hose favored by Oermaa investors. Cana dian Pacific was the weakest, falling OVs points to 14:tli. Union Pacific made a new minimum for several years at a, setback of over 2 points, to 1 ltiTi. Other rails wnich ligured in the International markets prior to tho war, yielded 1 to 3 points. The weakness of transportations was more strik ing because of bet ter tendencies else where. Shippings were the strongest tea turcs o t gains of 1 to 2 points. Steels and allied industrials were 1 to My points higher. In every noteworthy instance, however, gains gave way to losses under the increasing de pression shown by rail. I hu ltst closed with a weak undertone. Sales amounted to i;5,U00 shares. The sirength of liberty bonds at Oy.SO to 00.1)4 was the only feature of the heavy bond market.

CORN GAINS SHARP Urgent Demand and Scarcity of Supplies at Chicago. TONE AT CLOSE IS STRONG Brisk Industrial Competition. In creases Anxiety of Shorts -Farmers Are in Xo Hurry to Sell. Oats .Market Is Firm. CHICAGO, Oct. 25. L'rgency of demand, together with scarcity of supplies, led to sharp advances today in the corn market. Quotations closed strong at the topmost point of the day, 1 c to c net higher, with December $1.10 4 Ti 1.20 and May $1.13 &L13T. Oats gained c to ic. The fin ish in provisions ranged from 20c decline to a rise of 75c. Hrisk Industrial competition for the scanty arrivals of corn, whether old or new, in creased from the outset the anxiety of shorts who were endeavoring to escape further risk on outstanding contracts. No sign of hurry to sell could be discovered on the part of farmers. At the same time, pit traders seemed determined to await hedg ing pressure before becoming aggressive on the bear side. r'orecasts of wet weather acted as an additional stimulus to the up sweep of the market and so. too, did reports that tho amount of soft and damaged corn was becoming more and xnoro of a serious factor. Persistent buylnsr for houses with Eastern connec i ions gave - -firm ness to oa 1 . Provisions' averaged decidedly higher, largely owing to the corn bulge. Higher lard quotations at Liverpool and assertions that most of the lard on hand here had been sold for shipment tended to uphold the advance. Leading futures ranged as follows: CORN. Opn. THsrh.

Thirty thousand stockyard employes In Chicago are preparing to submit a demand next week for higher wages and extra pay for overtime. The employes hold they are averaging 12 hours a day labor, which they claim is contrary to Oovernment orders, and only receive the same pay for overtime as they do for regular hours. m m w The world's wheat crop is 1 per cent less than last year, approximately 1 .775,000. otto bushels, the International Department of Agriculture at Rome reports. Corn produc tion increased 23.7 per cent. All high price records for pure-bred Short horn cattle in four states Minnesota, South Dakota, Montana and North Dakota were broken October 24 when nine bulls and 31 heifers sold for 15.000 at t a sale on the B. W. Aylor farm, near Fargo. N. D. The average price per head was 4375, the pre vious record in the four states being $302. mm Sufficient cars to move the entire crop of the suear belt, and enough more in the Northwest to handle the potato crop, have been properly stationed, the Railroad War Board announces. Herbert Hoover's monthly report to Con gress shows stabilization of the milling in dustry with increased flour production de spite comparatively smaller wheat receipts. Little wheat was sent the allies, out some f iour was exported. Depleted reserves of this country were restored. Concurrently with an official announce ment that employes will form a combination to protect the interests of capital and in an endeavor to adjust relations between em- plovers and employes, the Government has announced adoption of industrial reconstruc tion, the recommendations of a special com mittee which reported last June. The com mittee advised the establishment of Indus trial councils representing the trade unions and employers associations in each In dus try. Shortage of farm help has sent women of Newport, R. L, into the fields to save the big corn crop.
