PROPOSED IN CALIFORNIA To He Successful, However, Move ment Would Have to Take In All Growers Experience With Past Vnlons. Hornn in Orecoa are much InterestM In th t"r beinj taken by certain irrower of CV.lfcrnla. to bring about a redaction of the lf'R crop. It la proposed to organlxa the California growers and wcure from them a Pda to leve 20 or 25 per cent of the crrp unpicked, and a meeting for this pur pose nrl'.l be held In Sacramento In the com ing wek. Xo orertures have yet been mle by the "Oregon growers to Jotn In the move ment, but It la probable tlVy will be Invited to participate, "he Facramnto Vnlon aaya: The movement ccntemp:ate bringing the grower and decern of the entire TadAc Cnaat in line, wlrh a view to letting a por tion rf this year's crop go unpicked. It i nn-leratood that after the meeting, which Is scheduled for this city, the growers In Men dvlno and Sonoma counties will be ap proached and after them those of Oregon and Washington. It Is reported that many dealers claim to r.ave er,me of last year's cmp on hand, and w'th the protvct of an immense yield this season, there Is a spirit of uneasiness over th outcome. It Is said that now lw the bst time to take the action proposed. Hop-plcklng will commence In about two weeks In this local ity, while It will be well Into September be fr the eeawm In the Sonoma and Mendo cino yards opens. It Is prohaKe that when the growers meet In th city It win be decided to leave at Ia.t 2o pr cent of the crop on the vines. s:thnuh this percentage my be increased. Jt Is believed that !n this? way the crop can be curtailed to a point where the mar ket will be steadied, even If the price of the product cannot be advanced. It Is un-ierstood that the ruling price for plcklrg hops this year will be In the neigh borhood of T' cents per hundred poun-ii. Th!w Is as high 9a. price as present market conditions will rrmlt. The market has b-?n suffering; from over production for several years. The American crop this year will he lighter than normal, but the decrease may not be enough to off set the big crop elsewhere and the large resrrve stock of former crops carried In this country and In England. It Is. therefore, very Improbable that prlc-s will be high. The Cal:fom:a plan to leave 23 rr pnt of th cr-p unpicked would be a good thing, as It would reduce the Coa.it ylrld by some 50.000 ba'es. Tnat it aT.I be done, however. Is not prob able. Kxprrfence rn shown that the grow ers will always plrk all their sound hopi when they can ret the picking; money, and they ueuaTly manage, somehow, even In off yearj. to raise the funds. This year Is not Ilke'y to prove an exception. The failure of last year's attempt at or ganization will no doubt operate against any Similar move this reason, either In Oregon or In California. The Inherent suspicion of the average hopcrower is a difficult thing to overcome. He usually loolis upon an or ganization ae a scheme to benefit a few pro moters .at his expense, and too often this haa proved to be the case. No doubt there are growers who would Join tn a crop-reducing movement and try to make it a rniccei without sincerely living up to it purposes. As for the lsrge growem, at least in Ore gon, they can hardly be counted upon to sacrifice any of their crop, and the dealer- frrowens will certainly pick all the hops they ean. Last year the California growers proposed a union, one of the principal objects of which was the reduction of acreage on the Coast. Returns now at Jiand show that the acreage in Oregon, since last year, has been reduced BMX) or eX)0 acres, while tn Califor nia only 1000 acres have been given up. The best hops on the Coae are raised In Oregon and they command the highest prlc It Is a natural hoparowtng state and hope ara one of Us recogatsed sources of wealth. Therefore It Is not likely the industry will be abandoned here without a struggle. As for the problem of over-production, this will solve itself in tiro by the natural elim ination of the weaker growers. The supply will eventually be adjusted to the require ments of the trade, ut It is doubtful whether any organization of producers will fcrlnr about this result. WHEAT BVV1NO AT H U rRICES.

ADVANCE TOO RAPID Forward Movement in Stock Prices Slows Down. TONE IS MORE . HEALTHY Government Crop Report Is Viewed In Better Light Slow Im provement in. General Trade Conditions. NEW YORK, Aug. 8. Operations for the advance In prices of stocks were resumed to day in a soberer spirit. Yesterday's sharp setback had a chastening Influence on specu lative enthusiasm and pointed to the danger of too rapid a pace. The sensational fluctuatinos of one or two stocks In yepterday's market came in for a good deal of cr!ticl.m and the likelihood of discrimination against stocks as collateral In loans being exercised by bankers was talked of. The disappointing Government crop report seemed to have been digested overnight and the promise of a large aggregate yield was held to compensate for the deficiency of parts of the wheat crop. Speculation .was under some restraint and did not take on the excited character of the early hours of yesterday. American Smelt ing and National Lead started to advance with some violence, and this again had a disturbing effect on the general market. When those stocks became quieter the general list began to rise again. Improvement in genera! trade conditions was reported by the weekly reviews of the mercantile agencies, but In a far more mod erate degree than the rapid advance tn se curity prices measures. The return of the country's bank clearings point to the some condition, the comparison with previous years growing less unfavorable from month to month and from week to week, but a wide discrepancy still remaining from the normal of previous periods of trade activity. Consideration of these facts had some re straining effect on speculation in stocks. There was free realizing from time to time and allegations that a large milling cor poration was in the hands of a receiver had some settling eflect on the late tone. The closing, however was about steady. Bonds were nrm. Total sales, par value, $1,S8,000. United States 3s advanced 4 and 4s reg istered 4 per cent. ' CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS. Closing Sales. High.
