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.

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

AMERICAN AND KIEOFEAX APPLES
Yield la This Country About the Same as
Last Year's.
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.

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.

SHARP DROP IN PRICES AT
SEATTLE.
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. Poultry and eggs were un
changed. ' Dried Fruit at New York.

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. The sum total made
only a slight fractional change in the
cash reserves, which averaged 29.60 per
cent, against 29.88 per cent last week.
London reported an active brief session,
with some demand for our securities.
Total bond sales today were $2,100,000.

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

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. The close was
steady, with prices unchanged to 5c lower.
