OREGON HOPS CLIMB TO FIFTY-FOUR CENTS Seventy-Five Per Cent of New nominal Crop Already Sold. betnc wared rmlnst the high cost of lining has been felt Tery materially in the bide and leather market. The principal tanner throughout the country have withdrawn from the market entirely and there have been no recent sale of sufficient quantity to es tablish actual market values. The market is very dull and lifeless, and the general Impression Is that tanners will not enter the market and commence buying again until still further concessions are made by the seller so any quotation made would be SUPPLY OF OLDS IS GONE I,arire Proportion of California and Washington Yield Also Disposed Of Kngland Will Want More. Hop prices are gradually climbing the new season approaches. Fifty-four cent has been paid for several good-sised crops In this state and the market Is strong at this Dricc. 1 balers estimate that fully 75 pr cent of the 1919 crop in Oregon has been sold on contract. The output Is figured at about .i0 bales. In Washington, where a yield of 13.000 bales is looked for. not over 4000 bales remain free, while Californians have unsold not to exceed 14,000 bales out of an estimated crop of 73,000 to 75,000 bales. With less than 30.000 bales available en the Pacific coast for trading purposes when the harvest la over. It looks like a slim market for the dealers during the coming winter. So far as local records show there are no old hops of any description left unsold In Oregon. This is the first time In the his tory of the trade that the market has been cleaned bare. Kngllsh crop prospects remain unchanged with estimates at 2O0.W0 hundredweight. Of interest to the trade Is the announcement tiiat In Great Britain all restrictions on the output of beer have been removed, which, in iew of the Inadequate supply of hops by reason of the small English crop will no tlo-jbt cause an Increased demand for Ameri can hops. Crop news from the European continent is as yet meager. The acreage has hn greatly reduced, so that at best the nielli can onlv be a small one. barely. If at I all. sufficient for the sreatlv reduced re- nd the bushel. Exports of hops from the United States for the month of June were 397,658 pounds. for the months of September to June last, both Inclusive. ,013,3"! pounds. PRINT BUTTER MAT ADVANCE SOON 1 Supply Is Falling Off aad Receipts Are Un equal to Demaod. There was talk yesterday of an advance In print-butter prices, which Is likely to materialise In a day or two In a rise of at least 2 cents. Creamery men declare an advance Is fully justified at this time in view of the falling off In production. Re ceipts of top grade especially have been scant, and with shipments going out to country creameries, there is not enough left to supply the demand. Cubes were firm, with 55c and 155 4c asked for 92-score. Re ceipts were 7063 pounds from Oregon and '210 pounds from Washington. Cheese receipts were 3916 pounds from this state and 2700 pounds from Washington. EASTERN FEAR MARKET 13 WEAKER STOCK MET IS STRONG PRESIDENT'S ATTITUDE IS AP PROVED BY WALXj STREET.

Trading on the stock exchange today was influenced almost exclusively by President Wilson's attitude towards the railroad shopmen and his sur vey of current problems arising from living costs, wages and attendant conditions. Contrary to expectations. Wall street ac cepted the president's stand as highly fav i orable to the constructive side of finance and backed this belief by liberal buying e various issues, Including many speculative shares. The president's denial of the principal de mands of the shopmen and his appeal to public opinion constituted the engrossing topic among bankers and railway executives. The general view was that these features would go far towards clarifying impending labor difficulties. Metals asserted some of their recent prom inence in connection with reports that con tracts for domestic and foreign consump tion Were Droceadfna tnvnrda rnnnimmntinn and leather, tobacco and shipping shares were materially oeuer. Bales amounted to 975, 000 shares. In all essentials the money market re peated yesterday's movement, call loans opening and holding at 6 per cent regard less of collateral.
