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throughout the country have withdrawn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

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.

NEW YORK, Aug. 26. 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. With time fund In httar ,
Liberty bonds eased again, but the bond
list in general was steady to firm. Sales, par
