HOPS FOR ENGLAND
Export Orders Being Filled
Steady Prices.
at
KOLA NEIS LARGEST BUYER
Foreign Growers Alarmed by Threat
of American Combination At
tempt -to Form a Union
Along Xew Lines.
Sellers arc plentiful in the hop market
now. but enough buyers are in evidence
to keep prices on a steady basis. Most
of the buying in the past two weeks has
been for export. A few operations of a
r-nvr-rlnir nature can be traced to the
short sellers, but there is practically no
current business with the Eastern trade.
The heaviest recent buying for export
purposes has been by the Kola Nets Hop
Company, whose purcnases aggregate
over LVH) bales and include the following
lots: William Steele, 163 bales: J. Roth,
: bales: William Bushnell. 125 bales:
ieorgo Hall. S3 bales; J. Inwall. 47 bales
Schultz Brothers, 15 bales; J. Hammel.
191 bales: Hedges Davidson, 330 bales;
John Walling, 80 bales: Belt, 1W4 bales;
Kccleston. 71 bales; Booth. 90 bales; w.
Brown. 125 bales: a. Inman, 3So bales.
Prices paid by this firm ranged from 4
to 6 cents, according to quality.
The E. Clemens Horst Company has
also bought heavily, paying 5 to cents
for only the better grades. Among the
Horst purchases were the Salzgeber crop
of ISO bales: Jernsti r, 50 bales; Jacobson,
185 bales. Van Westenhove, 120 bales,
and Miller, 27 bales.
The strong English inquiry at the pres
ent time is attributed principally to the
cheapness of prevailing values, which is
causing the brewers to stock up freely.
It may be also that the London mer
chants arc doing some buying In antici
pation of a possible change in the British
tariff policy as regards hops. The Eng
lish hopgrowers are clamoring for an
import duty of 40 shillings, and while it
is not probable they can overcome the
opposition of the English brewers to this
change, they are certainly insistent in
their demands. The agitation In England
for protection is the result of the attempt
to form a combination of Pacific Coast
growers, which threatened to throw the
American surplus annually on the Eng
lish market and thereby bring about
the elimination of the English hop pro
ducer. The latest Issue of the Kentish Ob
. server says on this subject:
"In the House of Commons on Thurs
day, Mr. Courthope asked the president
of the Board of Trade whether he was
aware that a syndicate of , hopgrowers
had been formed on the Pacific Coast of
America with the object of destroying
the British hop industry, hd .that this
fact is seriously accelerating the grub
bing of hops in this country, and thereby,
causing the loss of employment to many
thousands of persons: and whether,
pending the report of the select commit
tee on the hop industry, he wouhr take
steps to safeguard British hopgrowers
against the action of this syndicate.
"Mr. Kcarley. in a written answer, said
tho Board of Trade had received infor
mation from' his Majesty's Consul, at
Portland. Or., to the effect that an at
tempt was being made to form an asso
ciation, whoso operations would include
the exportation of hops from the Pacific
Coast to the United Kingdom, but he had
not yet heard that such an association
had been actually formed. Ha under
stood that, generally speaking, such hops
were not s suitable for making beor us
the British, as the flavoring quality was
Inferior, and a larger quantity was re
quired." Th Pacific Coast Hopgrowers Union,
as originally planned, proved to be. a
failure. It is no longer a menace to the
English grower, and when this fact be
comes generally known in England, tho
agitation for an Import duly will prob
ably cease.
The attempt to get the Coast growers
into an association, however, has not
ceased, but tho work will be pursued
along different lines from those proposed
by the California promoters. The large
growers will be induced to join by the
granting them of a degree, of influence
In proportion to their holdings. The ques
tion of reducing production to actual re
quirements, the vital matter In the hop
industry, will necessarily we the central
point around which the movement will
revolve. A meeting of the temporary di
rectors of the Oregon, Washington and
California organizations will be held In
this city In about two weeks to take ac
tion oil this subject.
BITTER KOK THE AMERICAN XAVY
Humboldt Firm Secure Contract for Ninety
Tons.
For the first time the Navy Department
lias purchased Its annual sunniv of hmtxr
from California, and the Central Cream-
ery company, of Eureka, a Humboldt
Arm, has a contract which for the last
three seasons has been awarded to Swift
Company, of Chicago.
The butter for the present contract is
to bo put up at the Ferndale plant of the
creamery company during May and June.
It will be packed in three-pound tins, her
metically sealed, and will be ot the high
est obtainable quality, the Government be
ing very particular to specify the kind of
cream used in making it. The require
ments also call for butter analyzing ex
actly 13 per cent water and 3 per cent
salt. Of the ISO.OW) pounds of butter called
for in the contract. 108.000 pounds may
possibly be delivered at the Biooklvn
Navy-Yard in New York, this delivery at
the Government's option, but at the ex
pense of the contractor.
The Central Creamery Company will in
stall a complete can-making plant at
Kerndale at an approximate cost of RISuo
and will manufacture its own cans and
tins. In the work of manufacturing cans
and nankins butter the services of 12
employes will be necessary. It is cal
culated that 60.000 cans will be necessarv
to fulfill the contract. They will have
to be packed in sawdust, in heavy wooden
boxes, the covers of which will be fast
ened with screws and the ends heavily
strapped.
Fliti MARKET Tl It N S
VtRV WEAK
and Supplies
North era Dftusnd Ceawes
Accumulate.
Kggs held steady all week until yes
terday. The strengthening influence has
been the good buying by Seattle and Ta
coma merchants, who had Alaska orders
to fill. This northern demand, however,
ceased yesterday and the market became
stagnant. The price generally asked was
1 cents, but more than one house would
have been glad to clean up at 17 cents.
Stocks accumulated all along the line,
and unless the demand revives, there will
be a further drp In the early part of the
voming wck. The cassation of the north
ern Inquiry is duo t the fact that Sun
Kra nci.soo is u nder-quot in ?j Port hind a
full rent or more.
The same thing caused the rodent drop
in the butter market. Conditions locally
ra now steady and fresh creamery butter
of all brands moves off aoout as fast as
IltHlk.
The xwultry market ruled very firni for
chickens throughout the week. The de
mand for broilers and fryers is keen.
Sarks for tbe Mohair Clip.
The Polk County Mohair Association
has appointed the following agents from
whom mohair sacks may be secured: Ivie
& Payne, Sheridan; Peter Cook. Ballston;
Bridwell & Craven, Monmouth; Miller
& Alcorn, Airlie and Kings Valley: J. W.
Bridwell, Amity, and F. F. Miller. Mc
Coy. . An effort has been made to scatter
the agencies widely throughout Polk
County, so that goatraLsers in any lo
cality will be able to secure the sacks
promptly and with little trouble. H. L.
fenton, secretary of the Polk County
Mohair Association, conducted a meeting
oi tne monair men of the northen nor
tlon ef the county in Sheridan yesterday.
Fair Demand for Produce.
Aside from express shipments of
California produce, there were no ar
rivals from the South yesterday. Busi
ness wag fair in the forenoon. In the
fruit line the principal demand -is for
oranges, which are becoming scarce.
Apples sell fairly well. Former prices
were irfaintained yesterday on early
California vegetables.

PRICIS ARE LIFTED
New York Stock Market Be
comes Animated.
CLOSES STRONG AT . TOP
Most Is Made of Several Favorable
Developments Measures Are
Contemplated to Improve
' General Conditions.
SEW YORK, March 7. The stock mar
ket broke into animation today with a
comparative uplift of prices. There was
a disposition to attribute the demand still
to professional sources for the most part,
the short interest bavins become increas
ingly uneasy with the power of resistance
shown by the market through the week.
News of conditions in business and in
austry did not indicate any marked
Change from th Kmnt mlrul ..c.li.
but the action cf th ) market either gave
rise or plausibility to some reports that
were current ot measures in contemnla
tion among powerful Influences to work
a oetterment of conditions. The coinci
dence of the presence in the citv of sev
eral presidents of large railroad systems
of the country was responsible for the
credence eiven to ona rf thei mnnrta
This was to the effect that a proposition
was to oe maae to tne National author
lties on the part of the principal railroad:
in concert for an agreement on their
part to maintain wages of labor on their
systems If they shall be allowed bv the
Interstate Commerce Commission to make
an increase in a fixed ratio in the rate
ot freight charges. The enormous chances
in net results to follow a change of a
fraction of a mill in the freight charge for
conveying one ton a mile on the rail
roads of the country have often been
commented upon and illustrate the im
portance which sruch an adiustment wonlrt
have. Of any official confirmation of this
report mere was none.
The same was true of an assertion that
the anthracite carriers had worked ou
a plan for meeting the commodity clause
of the Hepburn rate law which goes into
enect on May 1 and which had threatened
serious embarrassment to those com
panies.
The announcement that the Knicker
bocker Trust Company would be nermit
ted to resume business was a favorable
tactor. The reduction in the official ells
count rate of the Imperial Bank of Ger
many and a decline in the. private ds
count rate in Paris witnessed the relax
ing tendency of the world's mnnev mnr.

WOULD PUNISH MINORS
Misrepresenting Their Age When
Buying Liquor in -Saloons.
PORTLAND, March 7. (To the Editor.)
' In reference to a news report entitled,
"Punish . Elinors, Too," in yesterday's
Oregonian, I also believie that ' minors
should be punished. This is the only
remedy for this particular evil, and not as
Deputy District Attorney. Bert Haney
says, that he cannot see that anything:
would be gained by making the minor
equally-guilty with the. saloonkeeper.
A line must be drawn somewhere. 'The
saloonkeeper who would sell to a 17-year-old
boy would also sell to children under
14 years," said Mr. Haney. First of all,
I would say to Mr. Haney, that I am not
a saloonkeeper, although I have a retail
er's license. Nor did I sell liquor to a
17-year-old bojv This was obvious from
the fact of Mr. Haney refusing to allow
me to see the young man in question In
court, after I had repeatedly asked for
him. It is my personal opinion and that
of other men of good, common sense, that
the present law does not do justice to all.
It only partially fulfils its purpose and,
therefore, should be amended. If amend
ed, and the minor Is made equally guilty,
the parents or guardians and the mothers
in particular, would educate and see to it
that their minor children should not visit
places prohibited to them by law.
Besides, the minor would be equally
liable to punishment for the offense, the
parents or guardians would take more
interest in the matter, knowing that there
Is on our statute books a fine of from
$o0 to .$300, and even imprisonment, for
the offense. Some parents can only be
made to understand that it is their duty
and to their interest to give their minor
children the proper training and environ
ment, when a sufficient fine is imposed
upon them.
I would suggest to Mr. Haney to advise
the parents of this 17-year-old boy to use
their efforts to inspire him to make a
good, honest, law-abiding citizen, and,
by so doing, Mr. Haney will render a
great service to the people he is serving.
