The Government has taken up the import
ant matter of collecting hop statistics. ThUi
i a branch of Agriculture that has been
idly neglected by Uncle Sam In the past, and
much confusion In the trade has resulted
from the lack of reliable data aa to the quan
tity of hops produced in the various sections
of the United States. Beginning with this
Fall, accurate figures on the yield will be.
available. They will be based on the acreage
under cultivation and the Information will be
obtained directly from the grower them
selvs.
W, W. Stockburger. of Washington, D. C,
has been placed in charge of thta branch of
the Department of Agriculture. Mr. Stock
burger has requested Charles LIvesley. a
well-known hopman of Salem, to supply him
with the addresses of all the growers of Ore
gon and Washington, as his desire Is to
get' in touch personally with every man en
gaged In the raising of hops that he may
make up a complete Hat of the growers and
the number of acres in hops. Mr. LIvesley
will mall 3500 letters tomorrow morning to
Oregon and Washington growers, explaining
the Government's Intention. There may be a
fw growers In the two states whose names
are not known to Mr. Livesley, and t any
are overlooked they are requested to com
municate with him that the Government's list
and figures may be correct. Mr. Livesley
U doing this work at his own expense of
time and money, realising the great benefit
the statistics wilt be to the bop Industry In
general.
Figures will also be collected In California,
New York and other hop-growing sections,
where the need of a curate statistics Is greater
than here. The Oregon crop can be very
clearly gauged from the railroad shipments,
but in other states, particularly New York,
this method cannot be so closely folowed. It
Is said the size of the New York crop was
only once accurately 'known, about 10 years
ago, when the statistics were gathered by all
the members of the Eastern trade who be
longed to the New York Hop Exchange.
. Those" figures have been' used eVnry suces
slve year since In making up estimates, and
are now practically worthless. In California
the task was easier, owing to the number of
Urge growers. Oregon's figures are only
known exactly when all the shipments hare
been made, and the Information is then of
no value from a market standpoint. When
Mr. Stockburger gets his hop reporting bu
reau In working order, every one,- dealers and
growers alike, will know at the beginning of
the season Just what relation the supply
bears to the demand.
DEALER SELLS HOPS.
Two Hundred Bales of Washing-ton Sold
Vnder It Cents.
The hop market Is still dull, with few or
ders coming lit, except at such prices as
holders will not entertain. The only sale re
ported during the week was made by H. L,
Hart. It consisted of 200 bales of Western
ashing tons that were owned by a dealer.
The price was a shade less than 12 cents.
This bears out the statement made in this
paper several days ago that some of the spec
ulative holders are willing to let go at prices
under those that growers demand.
Ernest Wells, the local representative of
the EL Clemens Horst Company, has tempo
rarily closed his office here, and last night
left for San Francisco. Mr. Wells will re
open the Portland office about Julyl.
The busiest places In the country now are
the hopyarda, says the Con-all is Times. It
Is the period for training and trimming the
vines and a large amount of labor Is in
volved In the process. On account of the
scarcity of laboring men, it Is mostly done
this year by boys, girls and women. It is
llsht work, end an intelligent boy of a dozen
ummm can do it as well as anybody. It
requires only patient, painstaking application.
The vines are now but a few feet in length.
Perhaps the largest force of people is at
the Ireland yard, where there are a number
of camps. A good many Corvallts boys, girls
and m-omen are employed there and at other
yards, moK of whom make the trip out In
the morning and back to the evening.
WOOL BUYERS IN TOWN.
.Look for X Trading In astem Oregon
Until Last Part of Month.
A number of wool, buyers came down from
Eastern Oregon yesterday. Several of them
stated that they expected to see no activity
In the market before the advertised sales
days, and It was doubtful, in their minds.
If there would be any busfn then. The
Idea prevailed that the growers would reject
11 the bids made. This was the "case at the
sales in Casper and Rawlins. In Wyoming,
and also in Montana and Utah.
Some of the buyers thought the market
might open up in the last part of this month,
when the unwillingness of the trade to pay
high, prices la clearly known.
The Lucklamute sbeepralsers have formed
a wool pool, says the Independence Enter
prise. The success of the mohair pool en
couraged the sheepmen to go Into a similar
pool. Members of the mohair pool formed
In the Spring realised 30c net for their mo
hair when the market price was atound 28
ents, saving the goat men about 1300. The
sheepmen have elected - or rather appropriat
ed the officer of the mohair pool to conduct
the affairs of the wool pool. The offlcens of
each of the pools are: A. C. StaaU, presi
dent: I. M. Simpson. vice-president; M.
Fowle, secretary.
BIO DEMAND FOR BERRIES.
Arrivals Are Heavy, hut More Could Have
Been Sold.
Yesterday was one of the busiest days ever
seen in the fruit and vegetable district on
Front street. The demand was from both
the city and the country, and the volume of
business was larger than at any time last
Summer during the Fair.
Receipt of strawoerriea were very heavy.
and though it was noon before the California
train was in, every crate mas sold before
business closed for the day. The quality of
the berriea was the bent of the season, and
this, with the strong demand, caus'-d some
what better prices, which ranged from $1.60
to $1.75 a crate. The supply of Oregon ber
ries was not so heavy as the day before.
Shipments from Southern Oregon and Spring
brook: brought 15 to 20 cents a pound. Three
crates came down from White Salmon and
sold for 25 cent. A quantity of Mount Ta
bor berries was sold on the early morning
market at MHn cents.
Cherries arrived more freely, and were
offered at $1.254?1.50 a box. A small ship
ment of very fine apples was received from
Wenatchee. The Winesaps were quoted at
$3.50 and White Pearmains at $3.753. Two
cars of oranges arrived last night. Oranges
and lemons are very firm.
A car of new potatoes was received from
California last evening, and two cars of cab
bage are due today.
Canned Goods Lost in Fire.
Following is an estimate made by one of
the prominent commission men in San Fran
cisco of the canned goods stock destroyed by
the recent fire, which will Interest the gro
cery trade: "Estimated total loss of salmon,
225,000 cases (at least 200,000 cases of this
was red Alaska tall salmon). Canned fruit
loss In first hands is approximately 180.000
cases. (This does not lncli:ae Jobbers' . loss).
Tomatoes, 80, 000 cases. Sundry vegetables,
packers' hands, 20,000 cases; sundry vegeta
bles. Jobbers hands, 250,000 cases." This
does not Include the corn which was held In
large blocks by the San Francisco Jobbers
which was bought early at a low price."
Egg Receipts Larger.
Eggs were in better, supply yesterday, but
moved fairly well without cbange in price.
The demand for all kinds of poultry was
good, except for Spring chickens.
Butter cleaned up at the former prices.

SURPLUS STILL GROWS
NEW YORK BANKS HOLD TWELVE
MILLIONS OVER REQUIREMENTS.
Actual Gain In the Cash Reserve la
Close to the Estimated
Ftsrares.
NEW YORK, May 12. The Financier says:
Last week's official statement of the New
Tork Associated Banks showed conditions, at
least as regards the cash reserve, more In
accordance with the expectations as based upon
the preliminary estimates than any recently
Issued returns. The loan Item, too, reflected
the liquidation which has been in progress
and has been looked for In the statements of
the last fortnight. Largely as the result of
such liquidation, deposits, and consequently
reserve requirements, decreased last week so
that with the gain in cash there was an im
portant Increase In the surplus reserve. The
cash gain shown hy the statement was $3,815,
800, while the estimates which were based
upon traceable movements of money during
the week Indicated a probable increase of
about $5,500,000.
Deposits decreased $12,717,100. which amount
very nearly corresponded with the sum of
the decrease in loans, less the gain In cash;
therefore, the statement made a good proof.
The required reserve against general deposits
decreased $8,179,275. adding which to the in
crease In cash made $6,995,075 as the gain
In surplus reserve to $12,894,600.
Counted upon the basis of deposits, less
those Of $37,010,500 public funds which. It
may be noted, increased $1,038,800 during the
week the surplus is $22,167,225. Loans de
creased $16,400,400. This Is the first loss In
this Item since April 14, though meanwhile
there has been almost constant liquidation as
the result of realization and bear pressure on
the stock exchange.

Weeded Out in Recent Panicky
. Selling of Stocks. -
SITUATION IS CLEARED
Substantial Investment Buying of
Securities at Low Levels of Last
Week Foreign Demand At
tracted Money Easier.
NEW TORK, May 12. (Special.) The re
covery In the market, which was clearly de
nned at the close of last week, has gone on
and with considerable uniformity and rapidity
which few had expected. Nearly all the loss
between April 18, the date of the San Fran
cisco disaster, and the low level of ten day
ago ha. been restored, and the quickness of
the rebound haa Anally set at rest all mis
giving as to the real nature of last month's
violent downfall. It Is realized now that se
curity prices, according to all measure of In
trinsic valuations, were not too high. Neither
did the decline portend any unravorable turn
in the general business situation. It wu en
tirely the result of A situation which had
been undermined by a series of shocks, caus
ing for the time being a loss of confidence and
a dread lest the- support of Influential Inter
est had been permanently withdrawn from
th. market. . .
In the light of what has happened thto week,
it Is seen the collapse was entirely Irrational;
that the Influences of speculative holders to
Induce liquidation were very greatly exagger
ated and that to a large extent the later
stations of the decline were the work of an
extremely bold and reckless short side. The
suspicion remains that liquidation, whether
directly or not, by the larger Interest, had
a great deal to do with forcing prices down.
If the question were asked what good reason
there was for selling out stocks, 10 to IB
points lower down a fortnight ago, which
would hot equally apply to the market today.
it would be very hard to find an answer.
In some respects, no doubt, the general
situation is clearer than It was. The buga
boo of the Standard Oil Investigation and
th President's message Is out ot the way.
A distinctly easier tendency has developed
In the money market, but the true explana
tion for Wall street's looking- upon outside
affairs with brighter feelings Is that the
recent panicky selling has resulted In a
stronger class of buyers turning up as own
ers of stocks.
The course of the stock market offered evi
dence that there has been some substantial
Investment absorption of securities, especially
at the low levels of last week. Foreign In
vestors seemed to have been attracted by
the prices offered by our securities.
The improvement in the Immediate money
situation has thrown Into the background
the ultimate capital requirements In th re
building of San Francisco and demands for
other large enterprises which loomed for
midably In the prospect of the period of
stock market depression.
The extent of the recovery In stocks in
spires some distrust from the technical
standpoint, and keeps professional attention
awake for a reaction. But the undertone of
sentiment remains confident. In the absence
of a renewal of any liquidation, of the sinis
ter character which awakened anxiety.
Bonds bave shown some improvement In
sympathy with the stocks. The old United
States 4s declined and the new 4s hi per
cent on call on the week..
The improved condition of the banks,
shown by the bank statement, was expected
and was taken advantage of on the exchange
today to sell stocks to take profits on the ex
tensive rise In prices which has occurred dur
ing the week.' The gain in cash shown by
the banks was not as large ss had been
indicated by the known movements of money.
The mo-ement of prices In the stock market
was unusually confused and Irregular. Ex
cept for the realising movement - after the
bank statement, there was no time during
the session when the general tone was at all
consistent. Advances in prominent stocks
were made at the same time with declines In
stocks of equal importance. The movement
was not wide at any time, and the volume
of transactions was only moderate.
Banking opinion Is not unanimous on the
outlook In the money market. The confident
speculation ' in stocks Is based upon an as
sumption of growing ease in the money mar
ket, which is expeoted to be forced by a
return flow of currency from San Francisco
as eoon as banking is resumed there, and by
further remittances from abroad by foreign
insurance conipanlea on aocount of San Fran
cisco fi-.-e losses. In some banking quar
ters, it Is argued that the early resumption
of business activity and of reconstruction In
Ban Francisco, will causs the retention of the
funds which have been accumulated. ' Opin
ion differs also as to the extent to which for
eign insurance companies have already made
remittances to -this country In preparation for
paylng claims against them. The recent large
Inward movement of gold Is alleged by some
bankers to have been largely due to the
course of remittances againBt Insurance losses.

PRESSURE TO SELL
Prediction of Rain in Wheat
Belt Has Bearish Effect.
CHICAGO MARKET IS WEAK
Notwithstanding Numerous Reports
of Damage in the Southwest,
Liquidation Is General in
the Closing Hours.
CHICAGO, May . 12. The wheat market
wks steady during th first few minutes of
trading because of buying by a leading bull,
but before the end of the first hour sentiment
had become bearish and prices were easier.
The Weather Bureau predicted showers over a
large portion of the wheat territory. Including
Kansas and Nebraska, where It Is said the
crop is suffering from lack of moisture. Thie
was the chief cause of the selling pressure.
Notwithstanding numerous reports of dam
age in the Southwest, the market became
weaker and selling was general in the clos
ing hour. The close was weak, with prices
almost at the lowest point of the day. July
opened 4c lower to 4c higher at 61 to
