THE SUNDAY OREGOXIAX. PORTLAND, JULY 7, 1907. 7 FEW HOP ORDERS Market for Last Year's Crop Is Dragging. MAY BE DEMAND LATER Main Trouble With the Market Is Over-Production and the Effects May Be Felt for Several " Years to Come. The market for 106 hop la dragging, but In the two months yet before harvest It U probable that a considerable part of the sur plus, may be - worked off. There Is no like lihood of a cleanup, however, unless disaster should overtake the growing crop la some of the large producing, sections1 of the world. Something like 40,000 bales remain un consumed on the Coast, excluding those of the big speculative holders, and the total of all available supplies In this country is prob ably near the 100,000-bale mark, Ths chances are that the bulk of this quantity will be carried over into the new crop year, and tf the coming yields turn out as they promise, a quantity even larger will be carried over into the succeeding year. The tendency is toward to overproduction and it may be several yeara before a remunerative market again appear. If the Pacific Coast growers can hold on 1b the meantime they may see their foreign competitors forced out of business, for in the long run cheapness of production will win, if it Is accompanied by an aim to secure a high standard of quality. English Hop Industry Declining. Th hop Industry in England la year by year declining and it is only a matter df time before it will be extinguished unless the British government comes to the relief of the growers with a protective tariff, an event not likely to occur In the near future. A discouraging view of the situation is. taken by the English Brewers' Journal, which, in a recent issue, says: There can be little doubt that the hop crop of the coming season will be grown on an acreage considerably below that of 1906, for grubbing has been going on In many parts of Kent and Sussex during the past "W inter, especially In East Kent. In journeying about from one parish Jp an other, one notices many hitherto well-known hop grounds now turned into fruit orchards or cereal crop-growing land; and one is forci bly reminded of the gradual decline of the hop Industry. Various causes havet com bined to bring about this state of things, though the growers will have it . that only foreign competition has done it. That for eign competition has seriously interfered- with their business no one can deny, but all the while England Is content with the exWlng fiscal system such competition is Inevitable. In spite of the good crop prospects in this state and- elsewhere, Oregon growers are not disposed to contract at the ruling price, 10 cents, which dealers are ready to offer. Ex cept in a few spots the crop in the 'Valley is looking very well and If the right kind of weather Is experienced until the hops ars picked, there will be an average yild though probably not the pumper production of last year. The Gervais Star looks for a large crop in that section. The paper says: Hops are making a splendid growth and are arming out in the best manner imaginable. The recent .rains Tvavts been ery beneficial and it mow looks like the coming crop will be fully an average one. This Is not wel come news to our readers and means an other low-price year. The possibility for bad weather must, however, be discounted, and it is not impossible that weather con ditions will have much o do with shaping market conditions. It has been a changeable season all through this year and may con tinue into the Fall season and the rainy season., in which event few hops will be saved. Condition of Foreign Crops. The Kentist Observer of June 20 con tained, among other plantation reports, the following: Ash-next-Sandwlch The cold, un genial weather of the past week has left its mass? upon the condition of the bine; the crippled heads and twisted bine leave evidence of the boisterous winds and Intense cold for the time of year., Monday's . change to higher temperature soon altered the color of the foli age to a brighter green. Lice are consider ably fewer in numbers, but there Is still a sufficient nucleus, which, under favorable climatic conditions, would soon place the erop in a critical condition. Fresh fly continue to arrive, and mould is still in evidence. Bethersden Warm weather is very badly needed. The weeds Igrow much faster than the hops, especially on the colder soils. There is some fly. , . Canterbury- The bins, keeps growing and Is a good color. There is no increase of fly, but sufficient to necessitate a constant watch for deposit. Warmer and brigher weather is becoming every day more urgently necessary if the prospects for a crop are to be as sured. Chllham The hops are doing well, the bine grows fast and there Is not so much fly. Cultivation not so good as It might be. Harbledown Unless the weather during the next 10 days is abnormally forcing too much bine will not be our trouble. Vermin not on the Increase. Cultivation backward. Med way Valley Although the weather con tinues cool and unsettled, the hop plants in the Medway Valley are making excellent progress and are quite forward for the tl ma of year. There is fly and lice at places, and some growers are washing, but others do not consider there Is sufficient of the pest to warrant the outlay which washing In volves. The present type of weather will, it Is feared, bring about mould. North Hereford The bine generally is very vigorous and grows rapidly, but In come yards it Is weak, and it all requires warm, sunny weather. Fly is still appearing, and growers are preparing to wash. Woodnesborougli The hops appear to be doing fairly wefl. A continuance of warm sunshine is much needed. Some progress has been made with the cultivation during the l&et few days. There is a little mould at places, but fly do not increase much at pres ent. Adolf Heller, of Prague, writes to the Ob server, under date of June 17: Th reports from the Bohemian hop planta tions are on the whole satisfactory, but they are still very uneven. The South German hop district reports are on account of the very changeable weather rather conflicting without being unfavorable, and It is said that hers and there fly and lice have made their appearance. But so far not much attention Is paid to this fact yet, either by growers or the trade. FRt'IT MOVEMENT IN CALIFORNIA. Supplies Available Are Not . I p to the Average. The latest weekly market letter of the California fruit distributors says of the movement of deciduous fruits: Plums and prunes Anticipating good prices just prior to the Fourth of July growers have exerted themselves somewhat and kept the plum shipments going for ward freely. There will be a falling-off in the shipment for the next week, although there will be a good shipment and all of the better varieties. Quality is still fine from all districts. Plums and prunes are having a very wide distribution, and from the active- inquiry and demand they should meet with good sale in all markets. Peaches Shipment has been about as ex pected. Hales early are now about shipped, and those going forward will be of Triumph and fet. John, with a gradual beginning on ther yellow varieties. The shipment for the next week will be considerable lighter than for the week past. Pears The larger part of the shipment was Of the earlier varieties, although yes terday and today quite a few Battle Us made their appearance. They are all very nlca quality for this time of the year; all good size' and- very free from scab. Vacaville and Winters are still shipping Bartletrs in half boxes to the auction markets. Bart lett pears still promise to be very clean and good and generally better than last year. ' ' Grapes Still growing' nicely. No damage to any variety or any district. Prospects. for shipment good. CALIFORNIA PEACHES SCARCE. Carload Desired by Local Trade, but Can not Be Made Vp. Orders were secured on Front street yes terday sufficient to make up a full car of California peaches, but when the order was wired to the South the reply came that, owing to scarcity, it was impossible to make up a car. The street was again heavily supplied with loganberries, but mo si of the dealers succeeded In cleaning up before the close of the day. Prices on good logans ranged from Slrl.lO, but off-grade fruit sold as low as 50c. ' A car of, cantaloupes arrived during the day. Trade was of the usual Saturday character. BAD TIME TO HOLD EGGS. Country Shippers Advised to Make Frequent - Shipments. Egg handlers wish the fact impressed on country shippers that It is very bad policy to hold back eggs at this ,time of year. Small and continuous shipments are desired. If the eggs are held In the country until a large supply is accumulated it is very likely that the bulk of the shipment Is unsalable when it reaches thl market. Trade was slow yes'terday, because o ts-e warm weather, and prices quoted on the street were unchanged. There was still a strong demand for chickens, but buyers made some objection to the prices quoted. Butter was active and unchanged. Stock Calls Dispensed With for the Present. Owing to the slack condition of business during the Summer months, the governing board of the Portland Stock Exchange has decided to - dispense with the daily calls until a later date.

Decrease Is Over Five Millions Whereas Gain of That Amount NEW YORK. July 8. Tht Financier say,: Th official statement of the New York Asso ciated Banks was a most surprising- exhibit. Instead of showing a gain of $6,500,000 in cash as seemed to have been clearly Indicated by the traceable movement of money during the week the statement showed a loss of $5, 000,000. Thla is the more surprising because the above noted traceable gain wac due wholly to sub-treasury operations; had It resulted. In great part, from inter-bank changes, there might have been the possibility of error In the accounting. The cash loss, as reported by the statement, was J5.01US.900. Deposits decreased $13,491,600 and the re quired reserve was thereby reduced $3,372,87B. deducting which from the loss of cash left $1,653. 025 as the decrease In surplus reserve to $856,250, the minimum for the year having been $147,825 on January 15. Computed upon the baste of deposits, less those of $30,752,200 public funds, the surplus Is $8,544,300. Loans were contracted by $10,814,800.

CLOSING IS VERY BUOYANT Wide Discrepancy in the Cash Show ing in the Weekly Bank State ment A Loss Instead of A Gain Is Revealed. . NEW 'YORK, July 6. The cash reserve showing In the bank statement was from $10,000,000 to $12,000,000 away from the preliminary estimates, the $5,000,000 cash decrease comparing with an expected in crease of $5,000,000 to over $7,000,000. The loan Item, at the same time, showed a con traction of $10,814,800, and the resulting scallng-down of deposits helping to reatrlot the decline In surplus to $1,653,025, but leav ing for that Item only $856,250. The loan showing, following upon the contraction last week, makes it evident that corpora tions depended on the money market much less than usual to finance the semi-annual disbursements, having apparently accumu lated cash for that purpose, "which was placed temporarily in call loans and re called for the purpose of payments. The clearing house banks still hold $30, 752,000 of Government deposits, compared with $31,275,200 last week, so that small progress has been made in meeting the re quirement for return of Government de posits to be made July 10. No explanation was offered for the huge discrepancy in the cash showing. Amalgamated Copper was the market leader. The whole market rose substantially and closed active and buoy ant.

The members of the Corean Legation here say they con sider It quite natural that the Emperor of Corea should have officially repudi ated them in his interview with the Mar quis Ito, the representative of Japan at Seoul, who questioned him on the sub ject of their mission, adding: "To have admitted vthat he Instructed us to represent him at The Hague would perhaps mean his being dethroned, or een murdered." The delegates suggest that If the United States or a European power had made a similar Inquiry of the Corean Emperor the answer would have been different. To keep order and assure the main tenance of the peace In the Far East, the United States and the European powers, the Coreans added, should uphold the Independence of Corea by declaring that country to be a neutral state. TAKING OFF PRINCE'S CHEEK Edward of Wales Called "Sardines" and Pommeled by Students. LONDON, July 6. (Special.) Even Princes have to submit to the unwrit ten law of nicknames enforced at every English boys' school. Prince Edward of -Wales, the future King of England, who has just commenced his course of training for the navy at Os borne Naval College, is known among his fellow cadets as "Sardines." The derivation of this original nick name was explained by an Osborne cadet with what President Roosevelt would call "nature-faking," as from "young W(h)ales, therefore sardines:" Commenting further on the new cadet, the budding admiral said can didly: "He seems a nice fellow, but very cheeky. He'll get that knocked out of him, though." As a matter of fact, "Sardines" is already undergoing the cheek-eliminating process, for he was seen within a week of his entering the school on the floor of the dormitory being pummeled by another cadet, be cause he had been "putting on airs." SUNK TO EXTINGUISH FLAMES French Battleship Hoche Takes Fire at Toulon. TOULON. France, 'July 6. The ( battle ship Hoche has had a narrow escape from destruction. Fire broke out during last night near her powder magazine, and in order to prevent the spread of the flames the battleship was sunk in a slip adjoin ing the one in which the battleship Jena was wrecked by an explosion with great loss of life, March 12 last.
