Th hop market 1 steady in spite of a
:fht demand. Although only a tew orders
are coming; In, dealers find it difficult to
fill them, as growers are quite firm In
views. The prospects of a larger sale of
medicinal beer encourages holders, and
letters from the east indicate that dealers
also have a more optimistic opinion of the
future market. If the medicinal ruling is
pot reversed. It Is believed the consump
tion of hops will be materially increased
and. as stocks of good quality are not
large, the growers think they are aasunv
tng no risk in holding on now.
.bout 4000 bales of hops remain unsold
In Oregon, but only a few good crops of
earlot size are on hand and the same ap
plies to the other coast states. California

the same level.

by rain In eastern counties. Seeding of
spring wheat, oats and barley and prepare-
tlon of soil for corn were delayed by
rainy weather.
Prunes are blooming freely and apples

layed spraying and was unfavorable for
pollination. Freexlng weather at the close

prunes In southwestern counties, but defi

Pennsylvania Railroad Dividend
Cut and German Situation Also
Factors; Bonds Irregular.
NEW YORK, April 27. The uneven and
Irregular course of today's stock market
was influenced by conflicting and confus
ing developments, such as the United
States Steel quarterly report, the Pennsyl
vania railroad dividend cut and fresh com
plications in the German Indemnity tangle.
Of these, the most influential was the
showing made by the United States Steel
corporation, which fully confirmed the
general impression of Increasing slackness
in that industry. Steel common reacted an
extreme of two points and most of the so
called Independents made recessions of two
to four points
Ralls enjoyed a brief upward spurt at
midday on news that the interstate com
merce commission had ruled In favor of
existing inter-mountain freight rates, but
much of this advantage was forfeited on
receipt of word that the Pennsylvania di
vidend had been cut from 6 to 4 per cent.
Professional pressure seemed to be di
rected as-ainst a number of the high priced
specialties, including tobacco subsidiaries.
Oils, leathers, sugars and kindred issues
suggested a resumption of short selling at
gross declines of 2 to 11 points, a heavy
tone ruling at the close. Sales amounted
to 800,000 shares.
The mnnev market followed its recent
monotonous course, all demand loans being
made at 614 per cent, that figure being
fully 1 per cent over outside quotations.

He to He and provisions 5c to 17c.
Predictions of an enlarging demand for
all grain helped to start the wheat mar
ket upward, and bulls showed particular
hopefulness that the export call would
prove to be robust. It became known
that 400.000 bushels of oats had been sent
Into storage here, a circumstance decid
edly bearish as to oats. Ensuing efforts
to let go of wheat holdings make prices
descend rapidly in the final hour.
Word that some corn arriving at Dutch
ports was out of condition had a depress
ing effect on the corn market.
Provisions were inclined to sag in the
absence of any adequate support.
The Chicago market letter received yes
terday by the Overbeck & Cooke company
of Portland aald:

early and prices were well maintained un

bearish news from abroad was felt and

The batter market closed the week en a

still lower, until It reaches a storage
basis, says the weekly produce review of
Swift & Co. of Chicago.
Fresh eggs are plentiful on all mar
kets and receipts are greater than for the
same time a year ago. with an easier ten
dency and lower markets at the close of
th week. Due to the very large quantity
In storage, as compared with this time
last year, less Interest is being shown in

Live poultry prices have ruled a little
easier during the week, as the demand
for the Jewish holidays has been well

ported very light and reports to the effect
that new wheat is being contracted for in
certain parts of the country at 75 cents a
bushel do not seem logical, or at any rate
not general enough to be considered a mar
ket factor. Bearish factors have been
quite well discounted and we hardly think
declines from this level will be tar ex
tended. .
Corn Showed strength early, but weak
ened towards the close on a report from
New York that exporters have withdrawn
from the market, due to complaints from
abroad that American corn is arriving out
of condition. There was no evidence, how
ever, of any re-selling, which might
naturally be expected if such is the case.
The cash market was firm at improved
spot premiums and shipping sales of 190..
000 bushels were reported, mostly to ex
porters. The progress of the new crop,
which will soon be a market factor, has
been poor in the southern states, while
planting In the central Mississippi valley
is being delayed by excessive rains. Ex
tensive cash pressure from ths country is
not likely for some little time ana we Be
lieve the market will be responsive to
bullish influences.
Oats Fluctuations were dominated, more
or less bv the action of other grains, but
the market held comparatively steady. In
fluenced by the absence of country selling
and a firm cash market- Weather condi
tions are generally favorable for the grow
ing crop, although numerous reports are
being received 01 re-seeaing oeing neces
sary. ...
Rye Trade In futures was of fair pro
portions at higher prices today early In
the session, due to absence of important
