Newspaper Page TextA GRUB UP HOP YARDS Reduction of Acreage in Eng land Is 6022. INDUSTRY DECLINES FAST Herman Klaber's Figures on the American and Foreign Crops and His Opinion of Fu ture of Market. That English farmers are slowly, but urely retiring from the field as growers of hops. Is shown by the English acreage returns aa cabled yesterday to Klaber, Wolf & Netter. of this city, and to Isaac Plncus & Sons, of Tacoma. They show the English hop acreage this year to ba SS.91S. a decrease if 6022 acres from last year's official figures. The acreage under hops In England now Is smaller than It has been any year since 1S12, when It was 8.700. The following table gives the hop acre age of England In past years: Year. Acres.Tear.

Herman Klaber's Views. Commenting on the returns, Herman Klaber said yesterday: "The yield per acre In England this year, figuring on 530.000 cwL, as a reason able, conservative estimate for the crop. Is about 14 en!., or 1568 pounds. England's largest crop was in 1905. 695,943 cwt., grown on 48,967 acres, when the yield ber acre was practically the same. "Our cables just received estimate the crop of Germany at 660.000 cwt., against 4T0.000 cwt., last year; Austria at 350.000 cwt., compared with 318.000 in 1907; Bel glum at 90.000 cwt., and 55.000 In 1907; France at 70.000 cwt., and 85.000 In 1907. and Russia at 60,000 cwt.. and 80.000 last year. "Estimates of the New York crop range from 30.000 to 45.000 bales, and I think 35.000 Is conservative. The quality of the New York crop was never better. "In Washington, about 1600 acres are In hops In Yakima, but probably not over 1308 were cultivated, and there are about 10.0i)0 bales on the poles, though what will be picked cannot be determined now. In Western Washington there are about 10.0i)0 bales on the poles and about 7EO0 bales may be picked. "I think there are In Oregon from 110.000 to 115,000 bales on the poles. As suming that 10 per cent will not be picked for various reasons, the state will pro duce approximately 100,000 bales. "California has about 10.000 acres In cul tivation, and if all the hops are picked, there should be 73,000 bales harvested. "Of the estimates that have been made I for the United States 200,000 bales Is the minimum and 265.000 bales the maximum figure, making the average of estimates about 235.000 bales. '.Exports from all American ports for the current season are about 125,000 bales. Deducting 35.000 bales of yearlings shows 90.000 bales of 1907s shipped. Imports for the season to September 1, will be about 23.000 American bales, leaving 63,000 bales as the net outward movement. Future of the Market. "The prospects are for prices equally as low as In 1907. Brewers are heavily stocked, having taken advantage of the low prices that have prevailed. The con sumption of beer from September 1, 1908. to September 1. 1909. will probably be re duced S.000.000 barrels, providing temper ance and financial conditions are un changed. Were the brewers not so over stocked, they would require about 225,000 bales of the 1908 crop, but In vte-w of ex isting conditions, they are not likely to require over 175,000 bales. "The English crop, according to esti mates received today. Is large enough for home consumption. However, they will probably buy the usual quantity of Amer ican hops. 40.000 to 50,000 bales. They bought 90.000 bales last year because their own crop was only 374,129 cwt. The Eng lish Imports from all countries In 1904, when their crop k was very short, were 813.667 cwt., and in 1905, when they had their biggest crop, they imported but 108, Qn3 cwt.. from all sources. As the Eng lish crop this year Is 175,000 bales more than last year. It is reasonable to assume they will not buy as heavily from us as In the season now ending. "The cheapness of choice Bohemian hops which are offered at 12 to 13 cents delivered in bond at New York and the certainty of a large continental surplus, would Indicate Increased Imports Into America In the coming season. "If all the hops, or any material portion ef the hops on tlie Pacific Coast are picked this year, the enormous surplus which exists In all markets of the world will oe co Increased that we will see one or two. and possibly three or more, very un profitable seasons. The only man to benefit by this piling up of the surplus will be the brewer. "Growers should not be Influenced by . the advice of some deeply-Interested peo ple to pick all their hops because of the probability that -we may see fairly re munerative prices. I have no advice to offer, but I would like to call the atten tion of growers to the figures I have given, which I consider conservative. The more hops left on the poles this season, the better the position of the future hop market." FAIR CROP OF PRECOX ONIONS. But Too Early Tet for a Clow Estimate of the Output. A. J. Fanno, president of the Con federated Onion Growers" Association, has returned from a trip through the onion growing sections and finds the crop looking fairly well. Most of the growers estimate the crop at only two thirds of last year, but Mr. Fanno does not believe the shortage will be so great. In some sections the crop Is good. while In others it has been drowned out. In Sherwood, the larg est section, the crop has not matured sufficiently yet to permit of an esti mate being formed. WHEAT MARKET HUM BUT QCIET. . Receipts Are Over 100 Cars, the Largest Cine the Season Opened. The tone of the wheat market con tinues strong, but business is restricted by th,e" Jndifferenco shown by farmers to th'ida offered by dealers. There was change in quotations yester day. At the Board of Trade wheat prices were half a cent higher than Friday's close. Oats and barley . closed un changed. There will be a meeting of the grain to pass upon new applications for me m- Wheat receipts for the day were largest of the season. 101 cars t -,'. .-iVa fitor reoelnta were 5 the and rs oats. 7 cars and 500 sacks barley, a and 9 cars ana io Daies nay.

The Boston Chamber of Commerce has made its annual estimate of the apple crop for the year In comparison with the crop of last year. It Is as follows: New England In the aggregate 35 per cent less. Maine separately 50 per cent less. Shortage mostly on Baldwins. New York State. Western sections fully equal to last year's crop. Hudson River districts 40 per cent less. Canada. Fall varieties In excess of last year. Winter varieties 90 per cent Nova Scotia. Crop will be within 90 per cent of last year. Michigan. Crop 75 per cent of last year. Quality fair to poor. Arkansas. From 15 to 25 per cent. Quality not good. Virginia and West Virginia. About 60 'per cent of last year. California. Fully 100 per cent more than last year. Quality excellent. Oregon. Fully 100 per cent more than last year. Quality excellent. Ohio. Indiana and Illinois. Somewhat more than last year. Idaho. About 60 per cent more. Missouri and Kansas. Nearly 40 per cent more. Crop very small last year. Colorado. About 25 per cent more than last year. Great Britain. Heavier than last year, with the exception of Scotland. Continent of Europe- In excess of last year. The quality of fruit In the East Is ex pected to be much superior to that of last year, especially as to size. Present prospects indicate there will be fully as many apples harvested in the United States this year as last. Weekly Receipt of Produce. Produce receipts for the week as re ported by the Board of Trade are: 1114 boxes apples; 2 boxes artichokes; 959 crates berries; 892 boxes cantaloupes; 1076 boxes bananas; 614 sacks beans; 63 sacks beets: 44 crates cabbage: 141 sacks carrots; 65 boxes celery; 1232 boxes cheese; 120 boxes clams; 88 sacks green corn; 43 boxes crabs;- 15 boxes crawfish; 23.230 gallons cream; 94 boxes egg-plant; 17 boxes figs; 276 boxes fruit; 1727 boxes grapes; 3 cars grapes; 24 boxes grape fruit; 38 boxes honey; 1 car lard; V,i cars lemons; 117 boxes lemons; 6 boxes limes; 2 cars meat; 225 tons meat; 2437 gallons milk: 10 boxes nectarines; 62 sacks onions; IVi cars oranges; 12 'boxes oranges; 115 sacks oysters; 16.752 boxes peaches; 42 sacks peas: 18 boxes green peppers: 4 cars pears; 1563 boxes pears; 16 crates pineapples; 167 boxes plums; 5 cars potatoes; 954 sacks potatoes; 95 I boxes prunes; a boxes shrimps; 8 boxes squabs; 18 crates squabs; 3 cars sweet potatoes; 10.605 boxes tomatoes; 4 sacks turtles: 3 sacks turnips; 1 car vegetables; 40 cars watermelons; 35 cars water melons; 61 cars barley: 2514 sacks flour; 102 cars hay; 3 cars mlllstuffs; 1514 cars oats; 613. cars wheat; 1421 cases eggs; 685 boxes butter; 543 coops chickens; 25 coops ducks; 162 hogs; 266 veal. Mold In English Hops. Hop picking is under way In Eng land, but press reports lndiacte that the weather has been bad for the past week. That the quality is not as good as was expected is seen from cables received. One from Ironmonger, of London, to Isaac Plncus & Sons, of Ta coma. yesterday reported mold in some sections. A New York wire noted sales of New States at 15 cents. Jacks, of Santa Rosa, estimates the California crop at 67,000 bales. Fruit Clews Vp Well. The fruit trade was fairly active yesterday and supplies cleaned up well. Receipts were not heavy In any line. The hulk of the peaches were moved at 40(5 85 cents. Very few canta loupes were received and "prices were firm, but watermelcns continued slow. The demand for grapes was strong and all the Malagas received were dis posed of. The cool weather checked the Inflow of tomatoes and steadied the market for that article. Poultry I Carried, Over. The poultry market was dull yester day. A considerable portion of the arrivals was carried over and .prices were sacrificed. , Receipts of eggs for the day were 133 cases. The market was firm for extras. Butter and cheese were firm and un changed. Butter receipts were 74 boxes. Bank Clearings. Clearings of the Northwestern cities yes terday were as follows: Clearing's. Balances.

All Fruits' Are Weak Higher Prices Quoted on Some Grades of Flour. SEATTLE, 'Wash., Aug. 29. (Spe cial.) The feature of the fruit market today' was the sharp drop In water melons. Under the pressure of ten cars the price went off to 1 cent or less for good stock. Heavy receipts are looked for next week and the market Is expected to hold weak for a few days at least. All fruits were weak today, and bargains were offered all along the list to clean up. Commission men have Instructed shippers to ship as little fruit as possible until the weather becomes settled. Dressed meats were easy today, pork and lamb especially showing weak ness. Wheat was dull. There was no trad ing at all in this market. Some grades of flour are higher, but the general list Is not affected yet. Butter was strong, but there was no general advance. Heavy Northern or aers are helping in the upward , ten dency.

ON THE BULL SIDE Short Interest Wiped Out in Stock Market. PRICES ARE ADVANCING Harriman'Shares Continue to Lead In Upward Movement Rail roads' Losses in Earnings Are Decreasing. NEW YORK, Aug". 29. Although mar ket views seemed rather divergent this morning, another urgent covering move ment by the shorts brought about a re sumption of yesterday's buying opera tions and all the leading Issues were moved upward. Southern Pacific com mon maintained Its recent reputation by establishing a new high record, while Union Pacific sold above Its recent high price. The movement In the Harrlmana seemed to carry along the remainder of the list. There was no little selling for profits, but this made only a slight im pression, the market closing active and strong at practically the best quotations. Today's market would indicate that vir tually all of the early week's short in terest has been wiped out and that trad ers are almost solidly arrayed on the bull side. y There were no important news develop ments during the day. but rumors were again busy of closer Harrlman-Gould re lations. The annual report of the Read ing Company showed net earnings by the railway of J432.000, while the coal com pany reported a falling off of 187,600. Canadian Pacific for July ehowed a net loss of $232,000. A computation made by the Financial Chronicle of 89 railroads for June shows an average net loss of 9.39 per cent While almost every road made heavy gross losses, the net decrease was greatly diminished by reason of the drastic methods employed to cut down expenses. The bank statement was slightly mixed and seemed to reflect the shifting of ac counts that may have been made neces sary by reason of the week's unusual conditions In the stock and cotton mar kets. The cash gain was under the low est estimates, with only a moderate in crease in loans.

HEW YORK PILES IIP UORET CROP MOVEMENT CARRIED ON INDEPENDENTLY. Nothing to Indicate Hardening ol Rates Soon Statement of As sociated Banks. NEW YORK. Aug. 29. The Financier this week says: The statement of actual condition of the associated banks of New York City for the week ending; August 29, showed a moderate expansion of $8,968,900 in loans and of $7,144,400 in deposits. The inter esting; feature of the exhibit was the loss of $6,434,000 in specie, -which decrease was partly offset by a gain of $4,859,000 In legal tenders, making a net loss of cash for the week $1,574,800. The decrease In surplus reserve. Incident to changes Just noted, was $3,428,400, bringing the present sur plus down to $61,741,650. which, needless to say, is a record breaking figure for tnis period of the year. The loss in specie is to be attributed mainly to shipments of gold to Canada. The Dominion banks have taken, on the present movement, nearlv $11,000,000 for the purpose of strengthening their reserves over the present and approaching crop season and also as the result of bond sales. The chief feature of the situation is the piling up of money in New York from all sources, despite the fact that the season for crops moving Is now approaching Its highest limit. Some banks in the interior report demands on them for crop moving purposes, but these demands have not as yet been reflected in New York, except In a diminution of the flood of excess money which has been pouring Into this center almost continuously during the past seven months. There seems to be nothing in sight which foreshadows an early harden in In rates for money, and even trust companies, which have been loaning their money freely since they have iouna it tmnosRlhle to obtain Z per cent interest on idle funds in banks, report for the week an increase of less that $3,&00,000. in loans. omo hankers seem to look forward to the Fall season as foreshadowing higher rates for funds, but to offset any coming drain on the New York banks, the situa tion at present appears to be working into a condition which really Invites imports nf p-nld from Europe The statement of averages of the Clear-Ing-House banks for the week shows that the banks hold $63,358,975 more than the legal requirements. This la an increase of $2,211,000 in the proportionate cash re serve, as comparea witn last The statement follows: Increase.

WEAK NEARLY ALL SESSION Some Export Business Worked on the Break in Prices Milling Demand at Minneapolis. Corn and Oats Down. CHICAGO, Aug. 29. The wheat mar ket opened rather weak at a decline of He to Vifz c, compared with the pre vious close. Initial quotations on Decem ber were at 94c to 95c. Moderate sales hy pit traders, based chiefly on a decline of pence at Liverpool, were responsible for the heavy tone at the start. Trade during the first hour was quiet and prices held around the opening figures. Toward the middle of the day, however, two lead ing holders began to dump large quan tities of wheat Into the pit, and this started more or less general selling, which resulted in further declines. The low point for December was reached at 93c. Some export business was reported as having developed on the break. The pre miums for cash wheat were a trifle easier, but only a few sales were report ed. At Minneapolis there was a good milling demand for the cash grain and big sales of flour were said to have been made. For the first time in several weeks there was a small increase In stocks at Minneapolis and It was thought the Increase would be materially aug mented next week, owing to the more liberal receipts of new wheat. The mar ket -continued weak all day and closed at a net decline of c, with December at 4Vic. The Blump in wheat and rains in sec tions of Illinois and Iowa prompted sell ing of corn, which resulted In a weak market all day. Reports from the coun try indicated some increase in offerings, and as a result of this, cash prices were from ttc to e lower. The market closed weak and near the low point at declines of Vie to c. Oats were weak in sympathy with wheat and corn. Prices at the sample tables were about He lower: The market closed weak, with prices off !frc. Provisions were firm.
