WOULD-HEtP PRICES
Plan to leave Portion of Hop
. Crop Unpicked.
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.

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. '
