HO PANIC IN HOPS
Bears Striving Desperately
Break the Market.
GROWERS STILL HOLD FIRM
Sales Made Below Prevailing Prices
Fail to" Change the Views of
Holders Shortage Can
Not Be Hidden. "
The bop market ie inactive, bat there is no
panic Ir fact, there la mere Inquiry from
brewers than there has been' fer seme time
past, but prices are an obstacle to business.
A number of buyers are In the- market offering
28 and 29 cents,' but thoy are unable to pur
chase from grower at theeo prices. A few
small lets changed band- between dealers at
these figures, but the transactions do not argue
arj- slump in real values. In name cases the
rales were made because the dealer was un
able to carry the hops, in other cases tho
Seals were manifestly for the purposo of
breaking the markot. This scheme, la probably
doomed to failure as the bulk of the hops
heid in this stato are in the strong hands of
hard -headed speculators and growers, and they
axe not llkoly to be influenced by such tactics.
Tti snort sellers are making a desperate at
tempt to undermine the position of the market,
but as It will be necessary for them soon to
cover lor thoir January deliveries, it is very
probable this will cause a reaction Ir the
market. The statistical compilation made by
Herman Klaber &. Co.. of Tacema, printed in
The Oregonlan Friday morning, showing the
actual shortage In the United States, has
added considerable tone to the market. Taken
in connection with the European situation, it
makes tho world's shortage something for
midable, therefore it is difficult to see. under
the circumstances, why there should be any
alarm over the future of the market. As has
been repeatedly stated, the situation is in tho
hands of the present holders and prices in tho
next 90 days will depend altogether on how
they act.
Eastern and foreign advices show no change
in prices. Trade In all quartors is dull and
the market is In a waiting attitude. The latest
report of the movement in hops at the port of

An Interesting statomont of the condition of
the hop industry in England is made by United
States Consul J. C. Stephens at Plymouth. The
Consul writes:
At a special meeting of the Hopgrowers' As
sociation at Hon ford resolutions wero passed
asserting that the decline of the English hop"
Industry was largely due to the free Importa
tion of hops from abroad; that imported hops
should bo marked under tho roerchandiso
marks act, and urging the government to levy
an import duty that will save the industry
from destruction.
The outlook in England is far from encourag
ing, and to those who know tho itradc best it.
appears that hops -will be Imported in larger
quantities and that their growth in England
roust continue to decline. It is suggested that
American growers follow the changing condi
tions of this industry.
The cultivation of hops in Great Britain is
restricted to some six counties of England, tha
total area in hops outside these counties being
only 188 acres, as compared with 47,011 acres
within them.
The total production of hops this year, esti
mated at 2S2".33(T cwt. (31.620.960 pounds). Is
13S.738 cwt. (15,58S,C06 pounds) lees than the
crop of 1003, although this year's acreage of
hops was only 130 acres less than that of last
ytar. The production for 1904 escapes being
the lowest on record by the timall quantity of
410 cwt. Every one of the hop counties reg
isters a. diminished output.
Hod Contracts at Chclialis.
CHEHALIS. Wash.. Dec 10. Two three
year hop contracts were closed hero this week
at 15 cents for the term. Edward Xowery, a
large hopgrower of the Chcballs Valley. .- eon-
tracted 30,000 pounds each year for 1905,
1906 and 1007 at the above jrice. Walter
Twiss, a well-known Newaukum Valley grow
er, contracted 10,000 pounds a year for the
above three years of the hops from the Haz
ard farm, which he recently purchased. Tho
contracts ran to Hugh .Herren a prosperous
grower and dealer of Puyallup.
Tacoma Market Strong. -TACOMA.
Dec 10. In reply to a cablegram
from London, a local firm of hop dealers sent
the following mtssage:
"Market quiet but Arm. We look for an ad
vance next week."
Prices in Tacoma are now 30 and 31 cents
lor the best. .

AITLES FREEZE ON TREES.
JTohn Day Crop Lost for Want of Shipping
Facilities.
JOHN' DAY. Or., Dec 10. (Special.) Thou
sands of bushels of apples hanging frozen on
the trees, -emphasize the need of a cannery or
shipping facilities, or both. In the John Day
Valley. The varieties thus -wasted- in- greatest
quantities are Newtown Pippins and Spltzen
bergs. A prominent orchardlst who lives not
more than four miles from town says that
there are more than 1000 bushels of the former
variety now frozen solid, still clinging to the
trees .between bis place and town. Besides
this. tHere are great heaps lying on the ground
where they fell during the last storm, as well
as apples of many different varieties, some on
the trees, still more on the ground, for many
miles along the river.
This condition is not due to accident or in
clement weather, but is a result of deliberate
chclce. made for want of market. Most of the
fruit sold here has been at the ridiculously low
figure of 20 cents per box.
Last season a great deal of fruit was picked
and stored in cellars, in expectation of a
Spring market, bat most of it rotted. This
Fall the same growers let the large crop take
care of itself. The hardier varieties kept In
good condition throughout the Autumn months,
but the cold snap of the first week In De
cember froze large apples solid. Help toward
finding a market is being extended. President
Wilson, of the Hood River Association, has
made inquiries of local fruit rnen and busi
ness men, and has stated his Intention of com
ing into this section next Spring for the pur
pose of devising some plan of reaching a mar
ket with this fruit. Other outside shippers are
also at work on the same problem, and It Is
hoped that another year may not witness such
a waste of apples that would keep well -Into
the following Summer.

REPAIRING THE BREAK
LARGEST DECLINES IN STOCKS
. ARE-MUCH REDUCED.
New York Market Becomes Strong In
Spite of Renewed Liquidation
Amalgamated in Demand.
NE!jr YORK. Dec 10. Further progress
was made in today's two hours session to
ward restoring the impairment of valuos In
the stock market caused by the week's
heavy liquidation. The largest declines
have, been very much reduced. There was'
somo evidence of ronewed liquidation In soma
spots at timcF, but (ho whole market be
came very strong In the late trading, and
closed Arm near the best. Recovwlng of
shorta helped by a leading bear pi.rty ap
parently played a considerable part in tho
result and the demand was rather ut'gent at
some points, notably In Amalgamated Cop
per. Rumors were revived of property con
solidations and coming dividend surprises,
capital readjustment and other symptoms
characterized the market up to the time of
the crash, and the speculation took on
much the same appearance' as befcro that
event. Northern Securities touched a new
high record on the curb, and the settle
ment rumors regarding" that corporation re
newed their potont effect on speculative
sentiment.
The bank statement conformed tn tabu
lations in the cash Item, and tho stojk mar
ket liquidation was reflected in the loan con
traction of $8.51S,300. resulting in an addi
tion to tho surplus reserve of JS20.123. For
eign exchange turned firm and Berlin's re
newed demand on London for gold attracted
attention. Total sale of bdndj, .par value,
wero $2,635,000. .
Heavy liquidation has occurred this week
in the stock market, and the Increasing mo
mentum of the downward movement resulted
In a crash on Thursday which took on the
proportions of a panic during an hour. No
failures resulted and the market quickly
showed the relief caused by the closing out
of woak accounts, and recovered violently.
It was not free from feverish symptoms
subsequently, as was entirely natural after
tho spasmodic unsettlement of values and
the readjustments which were mad'o neces
sary. DIousslon of the causes of the break point
ed to one and another fact, and the com
bination of all of them may have helped
to topple over the market- But opinion Is
agreed that the market had become, ex
tremely vulnerable and it needed only a
slight impulse to top lt"over.
The drop in prices from- Hie extreme
high to the extreme low level of the week
ran botween 10 and 25 points for a .consid
erable number of Important properties, and
proved sufficient to bring into .the market
an important demand of a substantial Invest
ment check which began to absorb the
stream of liquidation and take it out of
the market. Tho slump In stocks had somo
immediate effect on markets for other
staple commodities, especially grain, cot
ton, and copper, and ome of the reflex ef
fect is looked for in other departments. But
confidence lb the general soundness of' the
Ananelal and business condition seems un
impaired in the financial district, and the
stock market Itself gives abundant evidence
of its improved health by reason of the
sweeping out of weak points and its settle
ment to a more substantial basis of prices.
Bonds were aifepted in sympathy' "with
stocks, but In less degree. 'United States 2s
-.and 'the old 4 e .have advanced U, and the
new 4s registered per cent on call during
the week.

NEW YORK BANK STATEMENT.
Stock Market' Liquidation Reflected in De
crease In Loans.
NEW YORK, Dec. io. The Financier says
this week:
Loans of the New York Clearing-House
banks decreased $8,513,500 last week, reflecting
lq part the extensive liquidation in the stock
market. The loan contraction, however, which
has been almost continuous since the opening
of November, has not yet ran its course, the
total reduction since the date named now
amounting to a little over $00,000,000. The
current statement shows a loss in cash of
$1,633,400, which is about $750,000 lesft than
estimates based on the known movements of
money. The loan contraction was responsible
In greater part for the decrease of $9,838,100
in deposits, but the statement docs not bal
ance closely. The reduction In deposits
brought the required reserve down nearly
$2,500,000, so that despite the actual loes In
cafh, the tptal reserve of the banks stands
$826,125 higher than a week ago, aggregating
$9,365,200, or, excluding public deposits, at
$15,191,700.
It Is worthy of remark that while cash In
the banks has fallen about $15,000,000 in a
month, the surplus reserve has decreased only
$500,000, revealing the fact that shifting of
loans has been constant and In largo volume.
A noticeable feature of the statement was the
expansion of $407,400 in circulation, due to
the action of one or more banks in using for
circulation purposes United States bonds re
leased through the Treasury withdrawal of
publla deposits. The banks lost heavily to
the Subtreasury because of transfers of cur
rency to New Orleans and San Francisco, but
the ordinary tide of money is now in this
direction, and whllo no doubt exists that the
reserves "will grow after the opening of the
year, no very large surplus of idle money is
expected. "
The statement of averages of the clearing
house banks of this city for the past week
shows:

Strike a Strong Market Apples
May Improve. x
SAN FRANCISCO. Cal.. Dee. 10. (Special.)
Cured fruits are quiet for lack of new busi
ness, most ot the movement being on old or
ders. Contrary to the rule at this time, apples
are inactive and weak. Apricots are a frac
tion higher. Owing to the scarcity of higher
grades, the low grades are in brisk demand
with stocks rapidly diminishing. Tho 40,000
pound minimum carload charge goe Into ef
fect January 1 on cured fruits for Eastern
shipment. The prune situation still shows firm
ness and light exports continue, chiefly to Ger
many.- Aside from new prices on seeded raisin
made Wednesday evening, and ranging from
4 to 6 cents, the raisin market remains un
changed.
A large shipment of Oregon onions brought
by tho steamer Columbia camo upon an active
and higher market. The bulk of sales were at
$2.60 and the remainder went at $2.30. Fancy
potatoes were in good demand and firm. Ore

potatoes were slow and weak. Sweets were In
ample supply and easy. Garden vegetables
were In moderate receipt. Choice peas, beans.
Summer equash and tomatoes were firmer.
Oranges and other citrus fruits are moving
slowly at easy prices. Receipts of apples
are lighter and unless next week's arrivals are
heavy, the market will probably Improve

SPEAXS TO CARPENTERS.
First General Vice-President of the
Union Makes Address.
T. M. Guerin, first general vice-president,
and Frank Duffy, secretary, of the
United Brotherhood of Carpenter &
Joiners of America, were the guests o
the local branches of that union yester
day,. Ah open meeting was held last night
at tho Carpenters' Hall, C6 North Sixth
street, with Messrs. Guerln and Duffy as
the principal speakers.
After an Introduction, which brought
the speaker and his hearers Into thorough
accord, Vice-President Guerln talked at
length on the present-day principles of
his order. Coming from the East, he Is
thoroughly fnmlllar with labor conditions
as they exist In the larger labor centers,
and gave some interesting Information
of the latter-day union methods.
In his address Mr. Guerln paid consid
erable attention to the apprenticeship
system.
"Some people," he said, "say the unions
prohibit the engaging of many appren
tices and that, in fact, the number of
such Is limited by tho unions, thereby
destroying the opportunity of many to
learn a trade. This is partly true under
the present system of apprenticeship, but
there is no union to my knowledge that
will limit the number of apprentices to
any employer, provided that employer
complies with the indenture laws of his
state. The trouble is that many employ
ers use the apprenticeship system for
foisting upon the public unskilled work
men. What we want is really a system
by which the apprentice will become a
skilled mechanic. In this connection the
recent Employers' convention In New
York City resolved to take drastic meas
ures to establish trade, schools In con
junction with the public schools so that
boys would receive training fitting them
for mechanical pursuits and be able to
enter that life with some degree of pre
paredness. GK0WTH OF MARTIAL SPIRIT.
