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

ROSEBVRG, Or., Oct. 25. (Special.)
Vincent Pershern, a farmer living oa the

net price lor tne nogs, lor $11:1.0.
These hogs were cheaply produced, fed
on corn and some green stuff from the

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:
