THE SUNDAY OEEGQNIAIT, PORTLAND, FEBRUARY 5, 1905. 15 NOT GLEAN PICKED Complaints of Oregon Hop Crop Received From East SAMPLES RETURNED HERE Short-Sighted Policy of Growers That May Give the Product of This State Bad Reputation Local Market Almost Stagnant. Now that there Is a lull In the hop market, men connected with the trade have plenty of time to consider -another feature of the situa tion. That Is the bad name that Oregon hops are getting In some quarters by careless and wlovenly picking by growers. An Instance of this unclean harvesting was brought to light yesterday when Seavcy Sc Metzlcr, local hop dealers, received by express from an Eastern customer a package of alleged hops extracted from a bale shipped from this state. The stuff consisted of stems, vines. leavcE. pieces of twine, burnt matches, broom straws, bark from trees and other refuse. In tbclr anxiety to gather up everything In sight In the hop field and take advantage of the high prices, the grower overlooked the fact that he was not only ruining his own future business, but hurting the good name of this state as well. As deliveries arc now being 'made to Eastern b rowers, it Is feared that many more com plaints of this kind will come In. There isyno doubt that- these dirty hops will .hurt Oregon prices In the East and England and may make It very difficult for growers to contract their crops this season. The Orcgonlan a week ago printed a letter from Herman Kl&ber & Co. on this subject, gli'ing an ex-; tract from a London communication. In which English brewers complained of the bad picking of the Oregon crop and stating that they would ruin the reputation of the Oregon prod uct unless tho hops are cleaner picked In the future. Trading has been on a small scale In the week Just ended. Dealers report a lack of orders and holders do not appear to be making an effort to unload. Ono small lot of primes was sold at Sherwood and It Is eaid the price obtained was 25 cents. The Santa Rosa (Cal.) Republican declares that the Increase In acreage In that state will be small and tho output not greather than last year. The Republican says: Soveral months ago It was current talk among the hopgrowera and dealers that a very large new acreage would be set out In hops this year In this state because of the good prices that have prevailed for several years past. Owners of good hop land were quoted aa saying that they Intended putting in 50 or 100 acres, and men with money were apparently very anxious to lease or buy land that could be set out to hops. But It seems they have taken cold feet. So far as can be ascertained at present, by a thorough Investigation, there Is nothing to Indicate that ahere will be a considerable In crease In the acreage. The increase, this year In the acreage will probably be no greater on the average than It has been for the past three years. It Is stated that there are two chief causes contributing to the reluctance or prospective growers to set out hop?, and of present grow ers to extend tlrelr holdings. One of these Is tho remembrance of a bad four or five years when hops were sold at a loss over the cost of production. Tho other Js the large amount of money necessary to start a hop yard. Dealers are discussing, too. the marked falling off there has been In th nvira put per acre of the Sonoma hop fields. Some years ago .1700 pounds to the acre was a good yield, but now the average yield is nearer 1200 pounds to the acre. The land is not only wearing out. and the yards them selves becoming old. but the use of fertilizers Is said not to 1 aB general as it should be under the circumstances. Last year about 10,000 bales were produced in Sonoma and It is the present opinion of experts that next season's output, with favor able climatic conditions, will not exceed that figure. Over In Sacramento County It will be neo csary for the growers to wet out about 400 acres in new roots in order to replace the yards destroyed by the breaking of tho levees lat year. Thlo wil probably come Into partial bearing this season, but cannot, under tho mott fax-arable conditions, be a full crop. There arc 1800 bales of J004 bops left in. the hands of the growers of this section, the smallest amount known for years at this time Repeated offers have been made during the past few weeks at good prices, but tho owners hav persistently deollned to sell. Among those hanging on to. their hops are iome of the firmest holders in the county, and it is believed that they mean to" hold out for a very much advanced figure over prevail ing quotations, on account of the past four years of short crops throughout the world. The Watervllle Times says: It has been estimated by local dealers that fully 7000 bales of Pacific Coast heps have this season been shipped to Australia, Japan, the Philippines and the Hawaiian Islands. Tills is a very recent trade and shows that a demand Is growing In other quarters for the product of hopgrowera in this part of the should dispose of the statements re cently made that New Zealand had become a hopgrowlng- and exporting ' country and would not only supply Australia's needs, but would also ship bops to the United States In Feb ruary or March of this year. MUST LOOK TO GROWERS. Dealers Can NoTr "Only Buy Hopg From First. Hands. ONEIDA. N. y.. Jan. 27. (To the Editor.) 1 will endeavor to offer you what little news I have at hand on tho hop situation; also a few-ideas of my own on this subject. Janu ary is nearly over and ire hava -een fully 15.000 bales taken this month by tho shorts to cover their January deliveries. The fact that one of the largest manipulators in hops on the Pacific CosEst disposed of his large holdings this month caused several of our dealers and speculators to hastily unload their holdings, fearing a slump which did not occur. Thus It Us evident that values for the remaining Mock are self-sustaining. There Is no doubt but that if the dealers had gone Into the country districts and bought their stocks this month they could not have covered so cheaply. As the situation now stands the dealers and speculators with the exception of two or three small ones have unloaded, which removes a most dangerous element from the future market, as no one in the business gets panicky as quick as the peculator. From now on (and the wind-up of the buying this month confirms it) the dealers will have to ftok to the growers, for their future supplies. It Is a well-known fact that there are heavy fhort Interests for deliveries in February- and March, and the hops will have to be bought directly -from the Coast growers, as the New York dealers have none In stock and only two or three of the Coast dealers havo any. If one-half as many hops change hands Jn February as in Januarv we will v.- than 30 cents offered for tho remaining few ana Detter man 4U cents before the Summer is over. Th 1P05 crop Is sure to bring good prices, probably 25 cepts, even If we have good aver age crops the world over; and if we should be short axaln anywhere verv hlirh nHr- will be' realized, as there will be no surplus oi any age or description carried Into the 1005 crop. If growers will 6tay out of the market and not contract their W latrr nn th-y will carllyrealize 20 cents or better for uoniracut. I hope tho growers will not get, frightened by the talk of large Increase of acreage on the. Coast by dealers who want to buy cheap snd 'allow 60.000 bales more for the Coast for 1P05 than .In 1004, and then I am sure all my figures win jj realized. - Bets arc freely offered here that 2s"cw Tork State will not iatsc to exceed ,40.000 bales this year and probably not over 30.000 to 35.000. as tbo 1004 crop -was an unusually heavy one and the past history of New Tork State Is that a light crop Invariably follows a heavy one. e.

Pennsylvania Group and Pacific Af fectcd by Profit-Taking More GoIdto Go This Week. NEW YORK. Feb. 4. Realizing sales for the end of the week were la considerable force during the short session of the stock market today and finally overcame the market, mak ing the closing weak and a point below last night for some of the speculative leaders. The Pennsylvania group and the Pacifies, including Missouri Pacific, were especially affected by the profit-taking. There was little news to account for the selling. The bank statement may have con tained a suggestion that the present re dundancy of money will not continue lndefl nltely under the operation of forces at work. The week's outgo of gold; in spite of the In flow from the interior, caused the expected decrease of over $5,000,000 In the cash re serves of the banks. The loan expansion of $12,443,600 lifted the level of deposits and the reserve requirements at the same time so as to furnish the net result of a shrinkage of $7l137,625 In the surplus reserve of the banks. .TBe foreign exchange market held firmly to day fend offered no Indication that this week's heavy outgo of gold will not be duplicated or exceeded next Week. Attention was attracted to the fact, however, that the country sent out last week 5,300,000 bushels of corn, which is considerably in excess of any other week's shipments for over four years past. As a source of replenishment for tho exchange mar ket, this movement must be accorded con sideration. The Southern Pacific refunding operation and yesterday's quick sale of $25,000,000 of these bonds must be figured with In estimating the future showing of bank loans. The notable price movements of the day were In stocks of minor importance and the receding tendency became quite general before the closing. The total sales of bonds were $2,785,000. There has been an active and aggressive speculation In stocks this. week, resulting In record prices for a number of securities and high prices on this movement for more. Hugo profit-taking and large sales for the shorty ac count have Interrupted the rise at times and induced some considerable reactions. But buy ing has persisted at all levels and has been in sufficient volume to sweep prices back to a higher level again and to drive in the shorts to assist the recovery with their demand to cover. Tho movement has been uneven and Irregular nnd the general public was not a large participant In the market. But "the operations In evidence have been large and confident and ample to absorb the selling. The restraint on the Western stocks was In part attributable to the influence of the grant-. Ing of the petition to review the decision of the lower court In the Northern Securities case, which was granted by tho Supreme Cojyt Monday. Tho refusal of this petition would havo left the way open for an Imme diate distribution .of the assets of the Northern Securities Company on account of Its dissolu tion and In the belief of Wall street, would have been promptly followed by a. new allot ment of control and combination which would lead to a practical rearrangement of the rail road map of the whole country. The granting of the petition has the effect of tying up Northern Securities indefinitely, which was the reason of the considerable speculative realizing of the early part of the week. Rumors of the decision had pervaded the market for many weeks. These rumors have continued a potent Influence In the market. Actual happenings have not been regarded to any extent. There was a momentary feeling of timidity over the enormous exports of gold to France by Thursday's steamer. But the apparently inexhaustible resources of the do mestic money market deprived this factor of practical effect. The heavy shrinkage fh value of cotton exports and the nominal valuo of wheat exports makes a large reduction In the supply of exchange compared with last year, but the balance of merchandise ex port values Is still large. The heavy re mittances to the foreign money markets are regarded, therefore, as in the nature of loans due to Paris needs In connection with the Russian depression and to operations In con.-, nectlon with the Mexican loan here and lo re-' demption of largo amounts of American rail road notes held abroad. The New York money market continues so largely supplied as to occasion difficulty in finding employment for the banking reserves. Large offerings at the stock exchange keep the call loan rate down to tho limit of profitable employment and servo as nn effective stimulant to the buying of securities. Many of these offer a. rate of return sufficient to make the holding of them with borrowed money profitable. Active discussion and agitation of the pro posal for Federal control of freight rates was continued, but the subject seemed to have lost its effect on tho speculative temper. Bonds wre absorbed on a large scale and call issus seemed lo find a ready acceptance. United States bonds were all unchanged on call for the week. STOCK QUOTATIONS. Closing Sales. II!gn.Low. bid.

Gold t. . ...,.$141,785,060 48.102,612 EXTORTS OF ,90LD. Lead- to Heavy Lous of Cash Statement. In Bank NEW TORK. Feb. 4. The Financier this week says: v The official statement of the New Tork as sociated banks reflected, as was estimated In the traceable movements of money during tho week, an important less o cash, mainly as the result, of the exports of gold to Paris. Dis crepancles between the estimated and the actual movements of cash in previous weeks were, however, not corrected. Though tho loss through gold exports to Europe In the last bank week were $12,000,000, including a ship ment of $3,000,000 on the previous Saturday. the averages of three shipments made a total of $7,333,000, counting the average for ono day of $2,000,000 gold, which was exported to Cuba on Saturday; therefore the statement was adopted on declining averages -for cash. It may be noted that the decrease In cash shown by the bank statement more than off' set the gain to the banks through tbo in terior movement, and the payment of the banks to the treasury of $3,337,600 on account of a Central Pacific note, offset what other wise would have been a giln to these instl tutions on the sub-treasury operations. The loan increase probably was largely due to operations incident to the sale of $75,000,000 Southern Pacific refunding bonds, which was effected Friday. The statement showed good balance, the sum of the gain in loans less the loss of cash being only $57,800 below the increase In deposits. - The statement of averages for tho clearing houso banks of this city for the week shows: Decrease.
