THE SUNDAY OREGONIAE, PORTLAND, PEBRtTARYv 12, 1905. 15 PRICES ARETOO LOW English Hop Expert Says Val ues Should Be Higher, ACCORDING TO LAW OF SUPPLY Statistics Show a Great Shortage, -WJth Brewing Requirements Yet to Be Supplied Why the Prices Are Down. '-The hep market shows no sign of life A few transactions -were made last week, but they were small and were between dealers. Growers are not offering their hops so freely as a week ago. There Is an absence of East ern orders at figures at whJch hops can be se cured. Eastern advices continue- to report dragging markets, with the demand from brew em both In this country and Europe vcry dibappolntlng. The latest Issue of the Mark Lane Express contains an article by A. P. Hides, the English hop expert, regarding conditions In the market. Sir. Hides writes: The present position of the hop trade is, judging from the statistics and tho state of the market, one which Is hardly realized by the consumers or growers. That the law of supply and demand can be overridden by care ul tactics has never been more clearly dem onstrated than during tho present season. Far the third year In succession the Eng lish crop has been a partial failure, and the crop in 1904 was not only one of the smallest on record, but one of the most costly to pro duce, yet prices have been quite 50 per cent below what the circumstances justified. This may be due in some measure (a) to the di minished consumption, owing to the falling off la the brewing trade; (b) to economy In tho uso of hops; (c) tho use of hop substi tutes; (d) heavy importations. The chief cause, however, is the position taken up by tome of the principal brewers (followed by tho smaller ones), who, anxious to keep down the cost of materials, and therefore unwilling that the growers should reap the advantage of their unique position, have sought to wear them out by neglecting the English market and confining their attention principally to foreign hops, which they know they must buy fooner or later. The result has been (1) that those growers who (having Incurred heavy lia bilities in order to securo their crops) were in want of money uavt had to accept the low prices offered; (2) that the imports of foreign haps have been exceptionally heavy from Sep tember to December Inclusive. From a. com parison, however, of the estimates formed in the early part of the season with the actual quantities imported. It is clear that we havo received from abroad all the hops we are likely to get this ncason. and In further proof of this tliu Austrlans, having oversold them elves. aro buying in tho German markets. From September 1 to December 31, 1004. we received from the United States 101,149 cwt., against an estimate of 85.000 cwt. to 90,000 cwt; and from the Continent 10S.245 cwt., against an estimate of 50,000 cwt. A careful study of the board of trade re turns for the ten yearn ending December SI, 1D84. shows that, after taking the Imports and exports into consideration, there are not sufficient hops in this country for the re quirements of 1905, even after making a lib eral allowance for the decreased consumption. On the iast three years alone there is a de ficiency of about 400.000 cwts. If, therefore, the holder of the few -remaining hops will only realize their very strong position, and are able to hold their hops, they will not part with them at anything like current quotations. We have the following facts to remember: fl) That the crop of 1904 was not only the tMrd email crop in succession,' but was tho .smallest for IS years; (2) that the country k&s been swept of all old hops and rubbish, much of the latter finding its way last season to the Continent at prices which showed that ntoeks were low; ft) that we have already im ported 209.391 cwt.. against an estimate of 140,000 cwt. made at the commencement of the reason, but are atlll nearly 200,000 cwt. short; (4) that four-fifths at least of tho new crops has been absorbed, and that old hops are so seareo as to be hardly worth taking into ac count in any estimates; (0) that if the board of trade returns and personal Inquiries are anything to go by there aro not sufficient hops In the country to last ere a until tho new erop comes in; (0, and th6 most Important of all), the prlco of English hops can no longer be kept down by foreign competition, because the foreigners have, generally speaking, al ready oversold themselves. The fortunate holders of tho remnant of the English crop aro presumably men of some staying power, and they ought to securo the fullest advantage of their position. Some brewers (a good many, in fact) havo already covered their requirements, but it Is absolutely certain that some of those who have not done o will havo to go short even at the higher prices which must soon prevail. and thoso who havo not completed their pur chases will have to be very smart Indeed to avoid being caught short.

NEW TORK. Feb. II. The interest in the United States Steel 6tocks. which was newly revived yesterday in response to the activity of tho minor steel stocks, was carried over into the early dealings today. After some transactions, the realizing la all of the steel blocks outwe!ghed.the demand and their prices were carried backward. Colorado Fuel mado the most conspicuous rise In the group, with an advance to 52, and held better than the other members of the group. The selling move ment seemed to be to close up contracts for the holiday. But some effect on sentiment was produced by the circulation of reports that Information had been received from Washington of a de termination reached by the President to call an extra session of Congress for the consider ation of the question of freight rate control unless some legislation was secured at the present session of Congress. Jhe first reports of railroad grots earnings for the first week ot February showed some declines from the 'Southwestern region and officials of Western railroads were reported as complaining that the reduced rates were bring ing little increase In the shipments of gram. Prices hardened again during the latter part of the session, apparently on account of the covering of shorts put out earlier, and tho day's net changes are unimportant. The clos ing tone was irregular. The bank returns, al though weak, were no worse than expected and the great ease of the money market de tracts from Its serious consideration. Total sales of bonds, par value. $3,020,000. The week's stock market has given an Im pression of strength that is not entirely borne out by a close analysis of the price changes. which show a large proportion of small de clines mixed with striking gains In the active lfsucs. The deduction to be drawn is that there has been extensive realizing tinder cov ering of the sustaining effect of tho sudden ad vances in special stocks. General conditions have been good accord ing to reports from day to day. Within two weeks the United States Steel Corporation has published Its report of earnings for tho De cember quarter, showing an excess of the most optimistic previous estimates. This, with tho statistics of January iron production, show a rate of output at the roord lcvol. while consumption Is so well maintained as to have reduced the amount of stocks on hand Febru ary" as compared with January 1. Yet tho United States Steel stocks have been almost Immovable since these announcements were made. Tuesday thcro were admitted to tho Atchison directorate two new representatives who arc regarded as testifying to an Influ ential Interest in that property by the Union Pacific interest. New life was thus given to many rumors of other plans for extension and combination In the railroad world in contem plation by the same influential group of capi talists, which have been potent in the market for many months past. New representation on the Colorado & Southern board on behalf of Rock Island interests has given color to suptfOsltlons of new projects by another finan cial parti.. Yet the various securities most directly affected by this news have been con snicuously "sluggish. But oonfldenco Is in duced by the absorptive power of the market. Where advances have halted or processes have turned backward, the reaction has been mod erate. The demand has fallen off from the rush of tho period of The speculative rise, but no procipitato unloading of long stock has been In evidence, such as comes from weak and timid holders doubtful of their resources on the culmination of a rise The active trade report from the Interior has not checked the heavy flow of currency to this center. The pressure for employment of bank reserves has kept alive the investment demand for stocks and bonds and has strength ened the whole market. Complaint is heard ot the toss Involved in the war of freight rates over the export grain traffic as between the Gulf and Atlantic ports, but the effoct on stocks Is moderate. Rumors ot peace In the Far East have caused some foreign buying of our stocks. The movement for legislation to give the Government control of freight rates remains In active discussion, but a bcMcf in postponement of definite action beyond the present session ot Congress baa been assigned as a cause of flrmnocs in ttoexs. The bond market has benefited by a good la vestment demand, but some of the active speculative Issues have moved irregularly. United States nejv 4s advanced a half per cent on call on tho week.

Surplus Kefrerve Reduced to Lowest Poiat of Year. NEW YORK. Feb. 11. The Financier says. The striking feature of the official istate- mcnt of tho Now York Associated Banks last week was the reduction in tho surplus reserve against general deposits to the lowest point of the year and to within $2,660,000 of the low est recorded in 1004. It seems unnecessary to say that this decrease In surplus was due not only to the loss of cash, chiefly through gold exports, which loss has amounted within the last fortnight to $12,666,000. but also to the concurrent expansions of $26,400,000 in loans durin? this Interval. The decrease of $1,307. 000 in cash last week closely corresponded with the average amount of the total ship ments to Paris, Cuba and Argentina during the bank week and the average for ono day of the $3,000,000 which were withdrawn on Friday for export to Cuba on tho following day. Moreover, thcro was a close corre spondence between the average amount of cash loss, as officially reported, and that which was estimated upon the basis of the trace able movements of money difrlng the week. The gain ot $2,CC8.000 millions, which re sulted from the Interbank changes, and that of $1,250,000 new gold was much more than offset by the loss through gold exports and also that which was caused by the sub treasury operations.

But Volume of Business Is Small In Chi cago Wheat PH. CHICAGO. Feb. 11. Strength In the wheat market was manifested from the start, open ing quotaUons on May being up 8c at i.Jti'Atfi.iiv. July was unchanged to c higher at $1.001.00. Tho firmness was due to higher cables and to small receipts in the Northwest. The inain feature of cable re ports was an advance ot d in Liverpool. This advance was said to be the result of a bullish report on French wheat, the condition of tho crop being represented as decidedly poor. Offerings in the pit were cxtrmcly light throughout the entire day. In consequence. the volume of business was very small. Light primary receipts, due to the deorraso of the movement from farms, had to do with an Improved demand from shorts late In tho day. Strength of corn also had some Influence. The market closed almost at the highest point with May 5c higher at $1.16. Final quota tions on July were at $1.00t1.00- Much activity centered In tho corn pit and price mads good gains. The market closed almost at the highest point of the session. May closed c higher at 4Cc Strength of wheat and corn had a bullish effect on tho oats market. May closed at 30W0c.

Conster nation has been aroused hero by an offi cial Intimation -which has been received bj the Govornor that all tho British troops are to be "Withdrawn from the West Indies. The colored population of Jamaica 13 over 750,000; the white popula tion less than 15,000. In tho smaller colo nies there are only a handful ot white men, and in the event ot arising they would ba wiped out. Trinidad and Tobago contain7 nearly 200.000 blades to about 1400 whites, who are to bo left wholly unpro tected. The colored population Is excitable, and when out of control there are no limits to the excesses of the blacks. In their last outbreak they set fire to the Consul house. Here in Jamaica there arc Wack troops. but they are not to bo depended upon for a moment in the event of trouble. The homo government wants volunteer forces to be raised, but the smallness of the whito population of most of the "West Indian colonies makes the proposal quite Impracticable. If the British troops are withdrawn it will give a most unfortunate impetus to the movement favoring annex ation to the United States. LET AMERICA PROTECT THEM White3 Say That Is Only R.esort if Sritfsh Troops Withdraw. LONDON, Feb. 11. The announcement of tho plan for the withdrawal of tho British troops from the West Indies has brought a strong protest from a resident of Jamaica, who is at present on a visit to London. "I cannot understand." he said, "how such a scheme is to strengthen the de fense of the' empire. The result will be In quite another direction, and the scheme is fraught with many and grave perils. On the whole, I regard the colored race as childish, good-hearted and amenable to discipline They make capital serv ants, too, but should they once got tho upper hand, the consequences would be serious. "In any case, there is a strong feeling among tho white population that favors American protection. The withdrawal of the British troops is likely to lead to sug gestions In this direction, and a stampede of natives will follow. They itnow full well the harsh treatment meted out to blacks in the United States, and would ta.ee any steps to escape from such a rule. Thero is one moro point: Tho with drawal of British regiments means a serious curtailment of festive and society gatherings, which, after all. are the things that mainly make the colonial life worth living. The experiment, if experi ment it be. is to be deplored, and I only fear that the government will not find out Its mistake until too late." GREAT HOLIDAY OF JAPANESE Whole Empire Celebrates Coronation of First Emperor. TOKIO. Feb. 11.

The Emperor toasted the powers represented at the luncheon, and Baron D'Anethan, Ambas sador from Belgium and dean of the dip lomatic corps, responded on behalf of the foreign representatives. Count Katsura, Premier of tho empire, responded for tho Japanese Government. HE DEMANDS THE PRINCESS King of Saxony Sends Orders to Former ,Wife to Qlve Up Child. ROME, Feb. 11. The Trlbuna today publishes a dispatch from Floronce, stat ing that Dr. Koerner, anawyei from Dres den, Saxony, has visited the Countess Montignoso (formerly tho Crown Princess of Saxony) and communicated to her an order from King Frederick Augustus, her former husband, for the relinqu&hment of tho custody ot her child, the Princess Anna Monlcapla. The Countess, accord ing to tho dispatch, will resist tho order, and has already consulted lawyers regard ing the case. The Countess Montignoso, tho Trlbuna's correspondent says, denies most strenu ously the 3tories emanating from Dres den of an intrigue between herself and Count Gluccardinl, whom she says she has met only occasionally and then always in the presence of others. The Countess says the story is a fabrication by her enemies. TO STRENGTHEN THEIR NERVE How Frenchmen Learn to Stand Up v Before a Pistol. PARIS, Feb. 11. A school for dueling has been established at the Lc Fevre Gymnasium in tho Rue du Colisec, In Paris, under the management of Dr. De "Villers. The pupils, dressed In long black blouses, and wearing masks to protect their eyes and faces, stand up at 20 paces upart and Are at each other with dueling pistols, loaded with pellets coated with felt. The pellets are dangerous at ten paces, but at 23 to SO paces the greatest harm they can do is to make a bruise. The object of the school is to accustom men to the preparation for a duel, and to enable them to stand up before a pistol without feeling nervous. Mourned His Ruined Paintings. BERLIN, -Feb. 11. The paint on two of the most famous works of the lato Professor Adolph von Menzel. the cel ebrated painter, who died Thursday last, hanging in Sans Pouci Palace, is peeling oft. "My reputation will outlive "my works," said Professor Menzel some time before his death, in speaking- of the gradual ruin of these pictures. "In those days," he added, "I was too poor to buy the best materials and this is the result," "But they can be restored," said the lady to whom the painter was talk ing. "I can never restore them and, when another does so, the paintings will no longer be mine." Hunger Afflicts the Riukius. NEW YORK.
