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.

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.

POLICE ARREST A FAKER
Pretended Cripple Assaults Police
man Anderson With a Crutch.
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.

between Third and Fourth streets, and
with robbing him of his gold watch

Bologna Sausage Is
Becker's Hobby
Neighbors Ask to Have Ased Union
Soldier Declared Insane on That
Ground.
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. Physicians
