HOPS AT 27 GENTS One Thousand Bales Bought for English Account FIRST LARGE EXPORT ORDER Indicates Strong Position of Foreign Market London Brewers Will Take AH the Hops That America Can Spare. Hops hare an advancing tendency and 27 cents is quoted as the top of the market. Herman Klaber, of Tacoma, yesterday bought 1000 bales of Oregon bops at 20327 cents for shipment to London. The- largest lot was ona of 400 bales that he secured from George Rose, of Salem, for -which he paid 26VS cents. This export demand from brewers at the very opening of the season Is the most encouraging feature of the situation. It not only proves that crops are short la England and on the Continent, but also Indicates a rtrong position as regards carry-over supplies in possession of the brewing Interests. With regard to the Oregon hop cros. tho bulls and bears are at it vigorously on the all-important question of estimates. The ex treme views on both sides have been elimin ated, but there Is still a wide margin between their figures. Few buyers are bold enough to predict a yield of over 00.000 bales, while the majority of the trade place their figures at 65.000. "Well-Informed growers consider thla stlmate at least 5000 bales too high, placing the crop of the state somewhere between 75,000 and 80,000 bales. In a short time now defi nite returns will be at hand. A letter re ceived from a Tacoma dealer yesterday said the crop of "Western "Washington would be lighter than expected. It placed the output of the wholo state at 30,000 bales, as against 85,000 bales last year. At a meeting of brewers, dealers and grow ers held In London last week, the conclusion was reached that the English crop this year "will not exceed 300.000 cwL This bears out the estimate made by AV. H. and'H. I May, who. in their annual report dated London, August 7. said: Although ten days earlier than the date at which we Issued our annual circular on the world's hop crop last year, we are able to form what we believe will turn out to bo correct estimate of this year's crop. "We have again, as has been our custom for the last 31 years, made a most exhaustive examination of the hop gardens of England. ana are forced to the conclusion that In consequence of the most severe and persls tent attack of aphis blight ever experienced. me crop cannot exceed soo.wo cwts., even with favorable weather from now to the finish of picking. The districts xvhich have suffered most arc "Worcestershire. Herefordshire, Hamp Bhlre and Farnhara. In estimating the total yseia, we find a few thousand acres that will not produce any hops; tho addition to these of those that will not grow more than 3 cwt. per acre, will make at least 11,000 acres that will not produce an average of more than 2 cwt. per acre. Then we find 10,000 acre's that will not produco more than an average of 4 cwt. to the acre, and an other 10,000 acres that will not average more than G cwt. to the acre. Thla leaves 18,000 acres (which include all tho best grounds throughout the -whole hop area of England) which may average 10 cwt. to the acre. This will give a total of 802.000 cwts.. or 151,000 old duty. And even this estimate may be reduced If the climatic conditions from now are not such as to prop"erly develop the cones, some of which are certainly very small. It Is our opinion that the general quality of the English growth -will be very good. The plant came into burr early, and although many of the cones are not moro than half the usual else, they have had more than an or dinary time for developing lupulln. which tho brilliant weather and high temperature of the past two months has put into the cones to a more than ordinary degree: in fact, it is several years since the English hops have been of such sound and excellent brewing qualities as can be found today In the best grounds. Of course there are some few grounds where the blight has not been suc cessively combatted that -will fall short of this description. "With regard to tho foreign competition with which the English grower has been threat ened all the Summer, we believe It will turn out to be a mere bogey. "We have taken the trouble to visit every hop-growing district on the Continent, and are strongly of the opinion that the Continent will not be able to send us as many hops as she did during the past 12 months, vir.: 75,000 to 80,000 cwts.. ana that 50,000 cwts. will be the utmost she can spare. The Continental brewers aro eager buyers of their own hops, and are paying 10 ptr cwt. today for the new German hop3 as they arrive on the market Germany Itself -will not produce as many hops as last year, but Austria and Belgium (where last year the crops were exceedingly small) have this year a good average crop, but as the Germans are now buying In Belgium. It Is evident that they do not consider the crop in Austria suf ficient to make up the deficiency of their own country. There la a slight increase In the produc tion, In America, but this will be balanced by the increase in the consumption of beci there, which has now reached nearly 50.000.- 000 barrels, so that if America should send us 85.000 to 90.000 cwts. St will be as much as It will be possible for her to do. The requirements of our brewers, exporters. manufacturers of non-alcohollo drinks and yeast-makers are at least 750.000 cwts. annu ally. Now. If England should produce 302.000 cwts., the Continent send us 0000 cwts.. and America 00,000 cwts.. It will only give a total of -172,000 cwts.. thus showing a de flclency of- about 278,000 cwts., which will have to be satisfied out of tho already de pleted consumers' stocks. How many hops will bo left this time next year only the con burners can tell. The stocks on the market today are the smallest on record. This being the position of affairs, tho producer is war ranted in demanding such a -price as will -at least compensate him for the extraordinary expense he has Incurred In producing the pres ent crop, and also for tho low prices be had to accept in 1800 and 1901, when he grew large ,rops for the benefit of consumers only, to bis own eerious loss. Hood River Apple Deal On. HOOD RIVER, Or.. Sopt 10. (Special.) B. S. Page, of Portland, met today with tho board of directors of tho Hood River Apple growers Union to discuss the purchase of the association's crop of Spitzenbergs and Yellow Newtowns, amounting la ail to about 15,000 boxes. It Is understood that no agreement was reached as to price and no sale has been re ported. PORTLAND MARKETS. Grain. Flour, Feed.

Notices, have been sent to the country that farmers must find some way of feeding their stock, as local buyers refuse to take anything of un salable size or condition. BEEF Dressed, 4S6c per pound.

Crop Prospects Better, Railway Earn ings Increasing and Labor Con troversies Being Settled. NEW YORK. Sept. 10. As a result largely of farther heavy proflt-taJcing, stocks' moved rather Irregularly today, though the undertone was undeniably firm. The tendency of many issues was toward a higher level. Indeed, several of the more active Issues, such as United States Steel preferred and common, touched new b.!gh records for the present movement. Business for tho brief session was unusually heavy, though not widely distrib uted. Southern Railway was the feature of tho railway group In the early trading. Later, Union Pacific and other standard railway issues became very strong, but elsewhere In the list the activity .was confined chiefly to the minor railway and industrial shares. The market wavered slightly art the publica tion of the bank statement, which showed an unusually heavy increase in loans and a cash loss which almost exceeded the highest. The grand total of loans and deposits Is now at the highest In the history of the associated banks. Reports that the Government report on corn -would be quite reassuring gave added stimulus to the list in the final trading and the closing was quite active and strong In spite of further heavy profit-taking. A very substantial advance In Colorado Fuel was not accompanied by any specific explanation. Total sales of bonds. $3,375,000. The action of the stock market during the week has reflected speculative confidence and even enthusiasm. The number "of shares sold rose to near 1,000,000 on several days and the advance for the -week has been quite compre hensive, but not very great. The tone of the i . 1 I .1 -A Vio- ronl. Izlng was -well taken and opened the way in jj many cases tor rresn aavances. uy a aerie of shifting operations, the whole list nearly has . been Included In the operations of the powers in control of the market and the sus taining influence of the new points of strengtn. has proved sufficient to enable the taking of profits -without materially hurting the price value. The bulk of business seemed to come from firms credited with operating for specu lative commission of large capitalists and tho general commission-house business has been' small and little public Interest In the market has been reached. The board room element has maintained a skeptical attitude toward the advance and has been constantly on the watch for Its culmina tion and reaction. Their short selling and later forced covering have been factors in the occasional halts and the later renewed - ad vances. Selling was conspicuously ia ew- dence on Tuesday, after the three-day holiday Interval, during which the bank statement was published, showing an abrupt change from the lontf-cxtended rise in me surplus reeereo of the banks. But this selling was absorbed with confldepce and served to reassure the doubtful and withhold offerings lrom the mar ket, thus facilitating the advance. Specific news to account for tne rise nas been as conspicuously lacking as at any time during the movement, but several features in the general situation were accepted as en couraging to prices. Little attention was paid to crop news. Crop prospects -were- regarded as being not materially altered during the week. The Iron and steel trade was a sub ject of constant discussion. Bellot in a re vival of the Iron trade was an effective In fluence on the whole market. Of a similar effect was an evidence of a growth in railroad traffic Last week's grain movement was greatly Improved and officials of Western rail roads asserted that the Western movement' of merchandise showed a large growth and augured a feeling of confidence In tho mercan tile community. The decision of the Pennsyl vania to restore the full working time in its shops, with effect on 20.000 workmen, was re garded as highly significant Of better railroad conditions, and the New York Central's In crease in gross earnings for. August was viewed in the same light. The agreement ar rived at over tho wage dispute Tn tho New York traction field and the formal abandon ment of the meat strike lightened the labor situation from a stock-market standpoint. There was a slight hardening of the money market in response to the decline In the sur plus reservesof the banks, the Interior de mands . to be faced and the more active de mand for. money for several purposes in the stock market. The principal activity in tho bond market has been In speculative Issues and the tone has been irregular at .times. United States Government 3s registered dcllned per cent on call this week.

Loss of Cash Nearly Equal to Decrease of Previous "Week. NEW YORK. Sept. 10. The Financier saya: One striking feature of tho bank statement last week was the remarkably close agreement between the loss of cash last week and In the previous reek, and another feature was the Important expansion in loans last week, this gain being only about $5,000,000 below the Increase of the week ending September 3. The los5cs of cash last week wore $7,008,800; in tho previous week it was $7,42S,700, making $15,337,500 for the fortnight. The decrease in cash last week very nearly agreed with tho loss of $8,650,900, which was estimated upon the basis of the traceable movements of money, and the difference between the two amounts may easily be accounted for in great part by tho fact that $1,500,000 was withdrawn from the banks on Friday for transfer to San Fran cisco, which sum was not Included In the estimates. Tho deposits were Increased $4,625,400 and the resulting augmented reserve requirement was $1,156,350. which sum added to the loss of cash made $9,065,150 as the decrease In the surplus reserve to $38,438,250, a loss. It may be noted, of $18,037,150 for the fortnight. Computed upon, the basis of deposits less those of $23,350,200 public funds, the surplus is $44,270,200. The statement showed a good proof, the sunr of the. increase In loans less the loss fn cash being only $719,400 more than the Increase In deposits. Loans were expanded $13,243,600. making a gain of $31,420,000 in the fortnight. This would seem to reflect corpora tion borrowing and also large red lscoun ting by the New York banks for their English cor respondents. Comparison shows that six banks gained $10,000,000 net In loans and eight banks lost $8,000,000 mt in cash.

The wheat market opened a trifle easier as a result of lower cables and continued favorable weather, De cember being oft c at $1.0S. The demand, which was very light at the Immediate open ing, soon showed considerable improvement, commission houses being fair buyers. The de mand -was principally for the December op tion, the price of which soon rose to $1.08. Trading during the remainder of the session -was mainly of an eventng-up character. The fact that the Government reports would be issued late In the afternoon prevented any great amount of new business. A bullish fea ture of the late market was the Increased flour business reported from the Northwest. Tho market closed firm with December at $1.0Sei.08. Favorable advices regarding the condition of tho maturing 'crop and fear of a bearish Government report caused weakness in corn. December closed about c lower at 51c. Oats were steady. December closed 4?c lower at 3232c. Selling by pit traders due to prospects of Increased hog receipts was the chief reason for a small decline throughout the entire pro vision list.
