25 THE SUNDAY OREGONIAN, PORTLANDr JUNE 7, 1903. LARGE HOP SUPPLY Forty Thousand Bales Unsold in the United States AND NEW CROP NOT FAR OFF Brewers' Requirements In Interval Will Xot Exceed One-Fourth of Thin Amount Potate ' Market Strong. The Oregonian has received the follow ing communication from the Salem office of the Paul R. G. Horst & Lachmund Company, a, 'well-known firm of- hop dealers: Present condition of the hop market, June 5, 1903: i . Bales. Hops In Oregon' growers' Tiahds.... 9,770 Hops, in Washington growers' hands 4,800 Hops in-California growers hands.. 3.SG5 Hops held by dealers in Oregon ...3,200 Hops held by dealers In Washington" and California ............. 5.000 Total .. 26,635 Hops held by New York State grow ets . ; 2.500 Estimated. hops held by dealers In New York. Chicago. Boston. "Phila delphia, Milwaukee, St. Louis, Qin- cinnatl and other points .10.000 Total hops unsold In the United State's 7S 40.135 Growers must not overlook the fact that the 2G.635. bales held on the Pacific Coast are fully one month away from the East ern markets, and taking this into con sideration, there can be no question that brewers have enough hops on hand to last until the early part of July and later. The Jargest brewers generally buy the annual requirements in the Fall, and while they are fed to them by dealers in monthly abipmcnts, few, if any, of the contracts extend beyond March or April, because brewers insist upon getting the hops in their warehouses before the hot weather nets In. Brewers have bought but very few hops in the past two months, and our reeords show that the total salts of hops by Oregon growers during the past two months amount to less than 13C5 bales, or an average of 170 bales per week. At this rate how long will it take to move the un told hops on the Pacific Coast? Supposing as a basis of calculation brewers will be compelled to buy 5000 bales of hops to carry them through July and the early part of August, or even double this amount and make it 10,000 "bales, there would still be a surplus of over 00,000 bales carried over in the United States. What is to become of these 30,000 bales? "Who will buy them and what will they Hatter, Ezcx, Poultry. Etc. fetch? They will be carried over into the inSTX' liS9 new season and oold as old hops. Growers should bear in mind that In Wheatland, Cal., picking usually com mences about August 5, and in Sacra mento about ten days later, whirii brings us within two months of the 1903 crop; therefore, it Is apparent that growers who dispose of their hops at the first oppor tunity will be the gainers, while the others will take considerably less, perhaps one half of what they can realize today. It Is foolish to contend that brewers will carry over any 1902 hops Into the new season. Of course there will be a few. but only a few, for tho reason that they can con tract from dealers 1903 hops for early ship ment, all the way from IS to 20 -cents, de livered In their breweries,- and after de ducting the freight and other charges, equal 14 to 16 cents Coast price, so why should they carry over, hops that are a year older and which would cost ihem to day 4 to 6 cents a pound more? We hear a good deal of talk about the "bulls" and the "short sellers." but at this season of the year the situation bolls Itself down to a question of supply and demand. If a shortage existed,. nothing could keep the market from advancing, whUe on the other hand. In the face of the enormous surplus on hand today, hops must decline and time will prove that our view of the situation is nearer correct. PAUL. R. G. HORST & LACHMUND CO. filed contracts covering four crops owned by Mary Aral & Sons, of Gervals, ag gregating 40)000 pounds, at 16 cents. "PORTLAND MARKETS.

WHEAT SACKS In lota of 100, CeOltc POTATO MARKET STRONG. Good Shipping to San Francisco and the Southwest. The potato market Is strong under a good shipping demand from San Francisco and the Southwest. For fancy stock, 50 and 60 cents Is quoted. The high prices are not producing heavy offerings, as stocks in the country are light. One shipper here has an order for five carloads from Colo rado and one from New Orleans. Latest. mall advices from San Francisco say: The market for potatoes Is vory much. Improved. Prices have advanced during the last two days, and will probably go higher. Old stock Is practically cleaned up here and at Sacramento. Stockton, San Jose and other markets around the bay. Oregons are firm; the steamer Alliance, due today from Portland, Is not expected to have over 500 bags, and It is likely that Oregons will go still higher today; It would occasion little surprise to see a cent and a quarter reached. Activity reigned In other produce lines yesterday. Strawberries, were scarce, but It was probably the last day of short sup ply. Heavy receipts are expected, begin ning Monday. Hood Rivers sold at $3, and Salem berries at $2.5002.75. Lemons are stronger and fancy will be quoted up to $4.25 tomorrow. The steamer receipts were slow sale, so far as small vegetables were concerned, owing to the full supply of Oregon-grown stock. Butter, eggs and poultry were as last quoted. WOOL SALE A FAILURE.

XEW YORK, June C Tpday's stock market was free from liquidation of the character of that In evidence during the week and th& operations were largely professional. As stock market loans made on Friday carry over until Monday, the money conditions cause no actual pressure during the Saturday session and opera tions based upon It are simply anticipa tors and in the nature of surmises over the effects on the part of the professional operators. The bank statement evidently Impressed this class as threatening a further cur tailment In loans. Instead of a decrease of not more than $3,000,000. as was antici pated, the banks showed a decline in cash reserves of $S.4S3,O00. As the largest part of tho gold for 'export was not withdrawn until the middle of the week. It Is esti mated that It did not figure for Its full effect upon the weekly averages, so that the condition of the banks Is believed to be worse, rather than better, than, the showing by averages. The local contrac tion of $7,837,800 reduced the reserve re quirements considerably, so that the re duction In surplus was only $4,863,500, but this more than cuts lh half the previous surplus, bringing It below the $5,000,000 mark. A further loan contraction seems to be indicated" for next week. The large loss In cash Is .attributed to belated with drawals by trust companies to comply with the clearing-house requirement for 5 per cent of cash reserves, which went Into effect on June L There was some early Improvement of prices, which seemed due to, covering by shorts, but; the -selling after the bank statement appeared carried the average level belowJast night. Atchison and Union Paclflc were notably pressed for sale and the delayed planting of tho corn crop will Te the motlye assigned. Xew York Central also ran off sharply at the last to te new low record for the moment. Amalgamated Copper tluctuated feverishly within a frac tional range and closed He lower on the day. The stock market this week has been under continued pressure of liquidation and the urgent character of the selling gave the. impression that It was largely- forced. Oh Tuesday-and Wednesday there was a tendency toward recovery, even while the Canadian group was breaking violently on account of the financial trouble at Canadian point., but the next day tho advance encountered renewed liquidation, which was conspicuous in Pennsylvania and Amalgamated, and the whole market resumed Its previous weak appearance, and prices in many Instances were carried to the low level for the present moment. The supposition In stock market circles was generally that- liquida tion' of long stock was1 in progress for the account of large capitalists to meet spe cial requirements in other fields. The hardening of the rates for time money and a rise in call-loan rates towards the end of the week were features of the situation. The call money market up to this time has remained easy and there is no explanation for the heavy liquidation in any sign of scarcity of funds from day-to-day loans. The lasl week's Insignificant shrinkage In the loan account of the banks also left the public In confusion as to what was being done with the proceeds of the stock market liquidation. It Is Inferred that very large loans have been repaid to the trust com panies, and that the redeposit in the banks has kept the call loan sunnly re plenished up to this time. The heavy. goia exports, are apparently responsible for the shrinking. While the call money was undisturbed, the outgo of gold was regarded with great equanimity, as the reduction of the coun try's foreign Indebtedness was felt to guard the market against future en croachments when the withdrawals might be. more seriously felt. With the rise In time loans during the week, there came some offerings of loan bills In the ex change market, which forced down the rate slightly. It Is evident that the ox ports of merchandise at present are not meeting the expectations of bankers, who borrowed money abroad earlier In the year with the Intention of buying exchange to cover the loans at maturity. In view of tho situation In the exchange market, the prospects of tho crops are scanned with special interest in Wall street. The abnormal weather conditions pre vailing in the Southwest have awakened anxley regarding the Winter wheat crop which has deteriorated. Tho delayed corn crop Is not encouraging and throws the problem of its safe harvesting over Into tho period of danger from frosts. Prices of iron have continued to decline and the consuming element Is reported to hold its waltjng attitude In the hope of securing still lower prices. The assertion of the Iron Age that the tonnage for Xew York Is falling off somewhat In some branches of the finished Iron and steel trade, causes a note of anxiety over the prospect in that trade. Labor disputes In the build lng trades are held responsible for this tendency. The violent declines of the- week have given rise to rumora of financial differ ences usually when such movements are in progress, but without anv confirmation. Bonds have suffered in sympathy with stocKs. bnited States 2's and the old 4's advanced U per cent, and the. 3's per cent as compared with the closing call ol last -weeic . "WEEKLY BAXK STATEMENT. Striklne; Featnrc Is the Large De crease In CbkIu XEW YORK, June 6. Tho Financier this week says: The striking feature of the official state ment of the Xew York Associated Banks last week was the decrease of $S,4S3,200 in cash, which was larger by $6,366,500 than the estimated loss as based upon the traceable movement of money during the seven days embracing the period in which this data was collected. So large a dif ference as that noted must be attributed to movements which were not reported to the agencies collecting the data. The loans were reduced $7,837,800, reflecting the heavy liquidation In the stock market during the week, which must have caused calling of loans by some of the downtown banks. The deposits decreased $14,456,800, or $L 864,700 less than the amount called for by the loss of cash and the reduction in loans. Therefore, the statement was tech nlcally out of proof. The reserve require ments were lessened $3,014,200 through the decrease In deposits, which sum, deducted from the loss of cash, feft $4,869,500 as the reduction In surplus reserve; this. Hem now stands at $4,755,650. Computed upon the basis of deposits, less those of $37, 214,000 of public funds, the surplus Is $14,- 079,150. Circulation showed the slight de crease of $71,100 during the week. It Is noteworthy that tho loans of the banks are now $16,513,100 in excess of the total deposits, including those of the Gov ernment. This excess Is very near the maximum shown at any time since such conditions began to be recorded, which was in the week ending October 4. 1902; tho highest m this interval was about 515. 000,000 in the week ending April IS, this year. This increase cannot be regarded as an unfavorable factor when the fact is considered that it is doubtless, partly the -result of lending based upon reserve not held against public deposits, and Also lending or circulation which later is part of the loanable funds of the banks.- Com parisons of loans show that few banks re duced this Item by $5,000,000 net. The weather conditions now prevailing with excessive precipitation and floods in the Mississippi River and In the Missouri Valleys and abnormal drouth east of the Alleghenles have more xr less unfavorable influence upon local conditions. Loss and uiuaufco 10 property, tarougn HOOOji in one I section and the partial destruction of veg etation through drouth in other areas of the country must, it would soom, cause Increased demands upon -the banks, par ticularly at the West, for money, and as these demands could not have been fore seen, and, therefore, prepared for, de rangements must result.
