Hi
TRY AT IT
Oregon Hopgrowers to Tempt
Fortune Once More. ;
WITH ODDS AGAINST THEM
Cultivation r Yards Is General
Throughout the Valley London
Times on English Import Tax.
Movement in Potatoes.
Reports from all the hop sections agree
that cultivation is general. Oregon grow
ers have determined , to try it for another
year, and if they can finance, the picking
end of the game, the state will probably
turn out a crop equal to that of last year.
It is comparatively easy for the growers to
raise the -money necessary for cultivating
purposes, and they are in hopes of being
able by some means to get picking funds.
A good many are providing for this now
by contracting at the low quotations cur
rent This contracting, in a measure. 13
encouraging others to put their yards in
shape. The large dealer-growers are spar
ing no pains to raise full crops and this
fact also inlluences the smaller grower3
to do the same, notwithstanding the large
producers have their hops already sold at
good prices.
Much speculation is Indulged in as to the
course of the market In the Fall, but there
la not a dealer or grower here or anywhere
else who knows whether hops will sell for
13 cents or for 5 cents. Only one thing is
certain, and that is that the Oregon hop
planters are preparing tOa put a big crop
00 the market and they are taking desper
ate chances In doing so.
The world's yield will have to be exceed
ingly small this year to' offset the large
reserve stocks carried by brewers. Much
plowing up has been done in Washington
and in some parts of England, but climatic
conditions, except in the latter country, have
been good up to this time. As against any
possible shrinkage In the world's production
from crop failuies and abandonment of
yards must be reckoned the decreased con
sumption In this country and England.
. There .is also the chance of tariff regula
tion by the British government, which, if
adopted, would cut off the only market for
the American surplus.
On this subject the London Times in. an
editorial said:
The demand of the menaced horgrower
for a 4os protective duty is. of course, one
to which the free trade purist will feel in
clined to olter an absolute refusal. Yet "it
is doubtful. in all the circumstances,
whether by this attitude of aversion he
would not really be furthering the evils
which he professes to abjure. The point of
the situation was fairly expressed by Mr.
Fell. In his letter which we lately published,
when lie claimed that "the garden of ting
Innil was worth struinlng a point to save."
Tlie attack with which the hop Industry
Is now faced is of a different kind to the
ordinary stress of external competition
which it has had to meet for many years
past; It Is based on a total subversion of
the normal laws of demand and supply,
ami aims at speedily securing an absolute
monopoly, which of all conceivable forms
01 trade Is the most untree. Nor does beer
rank among the accepted necessaries of life,
which form a class of commodities from
which, as from the Ark of the Covenant,
the rashly protective hand of the tariff re
former is solemnly warned away. As Mr.
Asqulth was not afraid to admit, the hop
growers' case is one of . an . exceptional
character; and no treatment will be of any
avail which does not by some means reduce
the present American attack upon our mar
ket to the normal limits of trade compe
tition. The hop industry is undoubtedly
one which the country can ill afford to
lose. It Is estimated still to represent more
than S.UOu.ooo of capital, and employ, ltl.ooo
rural laborers aU the. year round in addition
to providing their one great annual outing
to more than 300.000 slum-dwellers of Lon
don and the Black Country. We trust that
when the work of the. select committee is
concluded, the claims of its much-tried rep
resentatives will be weighed by the new
Chancellor of the Exchequer in a liberal
and discerning spirit.
DEALKKS niJJ:i XV WITH MOHAIR
Awaiting Eastern Developments Before
Buying Further,
Mohair buying has practically ceased. The
market holds steady at 18 to 18H 'cents, but
local dealers have about all the hair they
can handle and are awaiting advices from
the East before proceeding further la making
purchases. (
The latest issue of the Boston Commercial
Bulletin says of market conditions In the
East:
The quiet situation of last week still obtains-
both In this country and abroad. Manu
facturers are doing a very email business,
and consequently they are not in the market
for any appreciable quantities of hair. Fur
thermore, the end of the present dullness Is
not yet In sight, according to many con
versant with conditions, as many of the
mills are understood to be well stocked with
hair. Values are unchanged and only nomi
nal oa account of the absolute lack of activ
ity. The foreign- markets are dull, with no
immediate prospect of substantial recovery.
The new hair Is still being brought to the
selling centers of the West, but little trading
has been done yet.

POTATO SPECIAL AT ATHENA. OR.
Forty Curloads Are Bring Loaded for De
livery at Seattle.
Thirteen cars of potatoes are being sent
from Athena. Or., by one firm of growers
Barklow Ss Ransler. who operate the largest
potato ranch In the Northwest. The pota
toes are of Burbank variety, were raised on
the mountain tableland 10 miles from Athena
and havs kept perfectly through the Winter.
The potatoes are part of a shipment of 40
earn now being made by D. B. Jarman and
Seattle wholesale houses. Part of the ship
ment is being rushed as fast as cars can be
luaucd for rush orders, but a special train
will be made up next week, composed of 20
curs, and will be sent through on the sched
ule usually made by stock trains. "Weston
Muntaln Potatoes" will be painted upon
banners for each aide of each car, and an
effort will be made to advertise the new dis
trict by marking the bagtj, as well as by
operating the largest potato train ever seen
In the Northwest.
The price received on the large shipment
Is higher than had been paid for other ship
ments, ranging close to (12 per ton, accord
ing to quality. D. B. Jarman, who manlpu
lated the sale, owns department stores at
Athena and Weston. This Is the first attempt
to ship produce in large quantities from that
section:
The demand from the Sound is in anticipa
tion of the opening of the Alaska trade and
the coming of the battleship fleet.
BIO DEMAND FOB STRAWBERRIES.
Receipts, the Largest of the Season, Are
Not Sufficient for the Demand.
8trawberry receipts yesterday were the
largest of the season, amounting to C23
crates. The supply was not excessive, how
ever, and the market held firm. Jessies
hrinxlns and Dollars 2.25 per crate. In
ANOTHER
addition to the Florin berries, a few lots of
very fancy fruit were received from the
fan Joaquin Valley and brought about 40
cents a pound. Otherwise the" fruit market
was quiet.
Vegetables were in good ' supply, espe
cially rhubarb, which declined to l2c per
pound This article is now in its flush sea
son. Peas were also plentiful, but sold well
at 6fiT cent3. Walla Walla asparagus Is
In good supply at $1.33 per- box. A car 'Of
California cabbage was received.
Valley Wool Market Goes Lower.
The Valley wool market is quoted very
weak and there is practically no trading.
Local dealers are offering 10 to 11 cents.
The local market is lower than it has been
any time sines 1S04, when purchases were
made on the basis of present quotations
! end some lots were bought as low as 8
cents. After that prices advanced steadily
until two years ago, when the market
touched 2S cents.
California Millers Want Wheat.
A good inquiry from California millers
has stimulated business in the wheat mar
ket in the last two days. Purchases of blue
etem at 89 cents and of club at 66 cents
are reported. ' The prices thus established
are above export values and the exporters
are. therefore, practically out of the mar
ket. Butter Is In Active Demand.
There is a strong local and shipping de
mand for butter, and the city creameries
keep their supplies well cleaned up. Con
siderable speculative buying is reported on
Front street.
The egg market was active and firm yes
terday, without change in price.
Poultry receipts were light and cleaned up
readily at firm prices.

.Top Level of the Week Again
Reached. .
BUT GAINS WIPED OUT
Realizing ' Sales and Uncertainty
Over tlie Bank Statement Cause
the Keaction at the Close.
Bonds- Are Firm.
NEW YORK, May t. There was an ac
tive rebound in prices of stocks today to the
highest level of the week for those which
have been most conspicuous in the move
ment, which were mostly m the trans
continental group. The movement was a
continuance of the buoyant rise in progress
when the market closed yesterday and it
was equally lacking In special news devel
opments to explain It. The advances were
praotlcally wiped out In the final reaction.
The aggressive operations in St. Paul
were resumed from the same sources that
served to impress speculative sentiment yes
terday. There was marked strength in
Chesapeake St Ohio, which was also unex
pected The prospect of the strong bank
statement was an Influence In upholding
prices. A favorable Influence In the mar
ket was the confidence expressed by promi
nent financiers newly returned from Europe
in the good prospects of growing Interest
by European capital In American Invest
ments. . There was a decline in the private
discount rate in Paris and tha London
money market had the benefit of large divi
dend disbursements. The local money mar
ket was reported somewhat firmer.
The sharp reaction at the last seemed to
be due. In addition to the selling to take
profits, to misgivings ever the accuracy of
the favorable forecast of the bank state
ment. The statement, however, disclosed
more than the estimated gain in cash, and
only a nominal loan expansion, In spite of
the Important operations of the week The
surplus reserves of the banks are estimated,
in consequence, at over $02,000,000. The
closing tone was weak and with most of
tire earlier advance sacrificed.
Bonds were firm Total sales, $2,116,000.
United States bonds are uncnanged on call
for the week.

NEW YORK, May 2. The Financier will
ay:
There was a wide discrepancy between ths
statement of averages made by . the banks
and the statement ot actual condition on
Saturday. The statement of averages
showed an increase -in surplus reserves of
$3,368,150, while the actual condition Indi
cated a decrease In this Item of $025,050,
the first decrease noted in a great many
weeks.
Taking the statement of actual conditions
as revealing the more correct bank situa
tion, loans Increased $6,33,400, and cash
increased $2,564,300. this despite the pay
ments by the banks Into tne subtreasury
during the week of $3,230,Ouo and the con
tinued exports of gold to Europe and
Canada. The strong position of the banks
was indicated by the fact that notwith
standing all the adverse factors, the sur
plus reserve is only $l,6o.ooo less than
one week ago. The actual percentage of
cash reserves now reported by the Associ
ated banks is 29.80, the reserve of state
banks not affiliated with the clearing-house
is 27 per cent and the reserve carried by the
trust companies is 81.83 per cent.
The statement of average of clearing
house banks for the week .shows that the
banks hold $252.0iO more than the re
quirements ot the 25 per cent reserve rule.
This is an increase of $3,368,130 In the pro
portionate cash reserve as compared with
last week. The statement follows:
