0 ( 14 THE SUNDAY OKEGONIAJf, PORTXAlfD, OCTOBER 21, 1906- BUYING HOPS FUST Strong English Demand for the Oregon Product. PRICES ON A FIRM BASIS Four Thousand Bales Taken on Ex port Account la the Past Week. Keen Competition - In Market. The Oregon hop market. aftr a. long delayed opening, has at iaet been estab lished on a firm oasis. Unless all calcu lations are at fault, the -activity-will In crease from now on, and before many weeks have elapsed the crop of 1906 will have passed out of first hands, and at prices that will net the growers a sub stantial profit. In the week jut closed, sales have taken place involving about 4mx bales of Oregon hops. Much secrecy is observed by the buyers, and details have been dif ficult to obtain, but it is known that a fair proportion of the. week"s business has been at top prices. The buying has been almost entirely on export account.' and for that reason only . the best, grade, .of hops were sought for.' The opening -of Mie foreign -demand; the absence yf which last month, held the market back: was hailed with' delight' by the hop farmers. Now that the exporters are deep in the game, the advent of the Eastern brewing tiade is impatiently awaited, for the combination of the two ' is figured upon, by reason of the competi tion that will ensue, to raise prices to even a higher level. The Oregon market is a lS-16-cent af fair for the best goods. Fancy shippers, the cream of the crop, are bringing the top figure, and for choice, clean, yellow hops, IS and cents ia paid. Prime hops are quoted, on this basis, around 14 cents The lower grades are as yet neg lected. While it is strictly an export, market at the present, time, there are e-idences of a coming demand for good merchantable hops, and it is expected that this week will see a brisk movement in qualities under choice. The proportion of strictly fancy hops grown in the state is. of course, small, and when these desirable lots are gone, the next best available hops will move up into their place. The crop of Oregon is estimated at somewhere near 120.000 or 125.v bales. Of this amount, between 6ft. mo and 60.000 bales were sold by the growers under contract before thev were grown. The buyers, of course, took in their contracts before they ventured upon new business. These pre liminary operations are practically com pleted, ajid. as may be imagined, involved great labor. Less than the usual amount of friction a.ppeared between buyer and seller. The greatest annoyance was caused by the poor railroad facilities for handling this immense amount of freight for transportation or storage, and certain innovations in the railway regulations that have added not a little to the ex pense of moving the hops. Nearly all the buying in the past week has been done by two firms Klaber. Wolf & Netter. of Portland, and Wigan. Rich ardson & Co.. of London, who are rep resented by John Carmichael. of Salem. According to the general opinion, the lo cal firm handled the larger part. of the business. From the rumors that have come down from the growing sections, it is Inferred that, the competition between the two firms has been exceedingly keen. Both Klaber. Wolf & Netter and Car michael were operating in the Dallas dis trict yesterday. The latter also' bought a lot at Silverton, the Roy Morley crop of 73 bales, for which 15 cents was paid Purchases by Lachmund & Pincus. of Salem, were also reported during the week. Judging from the inquiries that are com ing from London, the hops of the Dallas and neighboring section a-re In strong demand there this season, and the fortu nate growers who raised choice crops seem to be assured of getting top prices when they ell. All the hop markets of the world are strong now. There is no Inflation, but on the oontrary a healthy undertone pro duced by the offcial figures that show a shortage In the crops of the European hop-producing countries. A German cable received yesterday reported a firm mar ket there. English cables for several days have been very satisfactory- A wire from New Tork stated that the quality of the New York crop was meeting with favor in the English market, and large orders were being executed there for English dealers. In California, as In tills state, conditions are more active. A report from the North yesterday stated that a good demand had sprung up for the lower qualities of Western Washington. ; Hop Situation In Yamhill. M'MINNVTLLEL Or., Oct. SO (Special.' The hop situation in this county is un changed, with the exception that the jrrower are firmer in their holdings. Six teen and I1- cents are the offers made by the many buyers now going through the hopgrowing districts. Most of the contracts in this vicinitv have been taken In. One lot. that of J. W. Fletcher, of Dayton, consisting of 22ft bales, went at the contract price of S cents The sale of the Levi Bennett lot. of 33 bales, made early in the week, is the only sale re ported at 15 cents The firmness of the growers, with many predicting a 20-cent market, makes buying difficult. Samplers and buyers are inclined to Quibble over the quality. Hop-Baling Record. ST. PAVL. Or.. Oct. 30 To the Editor.) P. J.

EQUAL SUFFRAGISTS MEET Arrangements Made for Annual Meeting to be Held November 3. An informal meeting of the Oregon SufTrage Association was held yesterday afternoon for the purpose of arranging for the annual meeting which will be held in this city Saturday. November 3. Mrs. Kenry Waldo Coe presided, and com mittee reports indicated that the -arious organizations of the state will all be rep resented at the meeting. An effort will be made to have Mrs. Sarah Piatt Decker, who will then be in Portland in attend ance at the State Club Federation con vention, address the suffragists, and in this event an evening meeting will be ax ranged. New officers will be elected at the an nual meeting. Mrs. Coe has positively de clined to permit her name being put up for re-election as president, as her pri vate interests will not permit of taxfher service as presiding officer. She stated that her services as an ardent worker of the association will not be withdrawn, but that she only declines another office. This has brought about much speculation and discussion as to who will make the best president for next year. Of course Mrs. Abigail Scott Duniway is one of the first to be considered, but it is not an assured thing that she woujd feel able to accept the presidency. Mrs. Clara Wal do, State Grange lecturer, is the natural candidate and many- members are in clined to urge her to accept the honor, although it is feared her many public duties may cause her to decline. She is a woman of fine presence, magnetic per sonality, a splendid speaker and in touch with a large proportion of Oregon's voters. Other candidates who have fol lowings are Mrs. Eva Emory Dye and Dr. Esther Pohl. Any of the candidates men tioned would make satisfactory officers, but Mrs. Waldo is considered the ideal.

When Patrolman "Jim" Anderson placed James' Flannigan under arrest yesterday afternoon at Fourth and Pine streets on a charge of drunkenness. Flan nigan. who had been walking about the streets of the North End for several days on crutches, suddenly attacked the offi cer and a desperate fight ensued before the man .was landed in the City Jail. Flannigan had been palming himself off as a cripple, and it is the belief of the po lice that he had been begging. He is now locked up on a charge of drunkenness. An additional charge of resisting arrest may be placed against him in the'du nicipal Court tomorrow morning. By his encounter with Patrolman An derson. Flannigan betrayed himself, showing that he is not a cripple but a fakir of the worst kind. He had been using his crutches as a "stall," the po lice declare. When arrested he threw one crutch down and assaulted the offi cer with the other. WATCH AND CHAIN STOLEN Alleged Pickpockets Arrested on Complaint of J. H. Buckner.

Upon complaint of the victim. George Hartley and J. R. Keith were arrested last evening by Acting Detective Price, charged with larceny from the person.

CARRYING a large piece of bologna in his band and taking a bite of it every few minutes, a man named Becker tot tered into the office Of Probate Court Clerk Robert Shaw yesterday after noon.. The visitor .was . accompanied by a neighbor, who announced that he had come to swear out- a complaint charging Becker with being insane and unfit to be at large. On hearing this statement. Becker merely took another large bite of the bologna. Becker is 73 years old, and was unable to tell his first name. At least, no one about the Courthouse could understand the answer he gave when asked it. The neighbor who accompanied him did not know, and so a John Doe complaint was made out. Becker always carries a piece of bo logna, it is alleged, whenever he can ob tain it, and his love for this diet is said to have been one of the first signs he gave of approaching Insanity. The old man is a native of Germany, but served in the Union Army during the Civil War and is now on the pension roll. Crush in Scramble for Note. LOUISVTXJjEI. Oct. 20 Twelve persons were injured in a panic during a bargain sale at a store here today. Fully 3000 persons were in the store. During the rush for the counters in. the rear of the establishment, where the bar gains were on display, there was a cry of "There's a live dollar bill on the floor." by some person, evidently facetiously in clined. Several persons bent over to pick up the bill and in the scramble that en sued, women and children were thrown from their feet and trodden on. Others were thrown over and crushed against the counters. The doors were locked and the faumaa-avaianclia-etopped.
