THE SUNDAY OR EGO XI AX, PORTLAND, FEBRUARY 13, 1910. BUY C0IU1G CROP Dealers Making Offers for 1910Hops. BID 16 AND 161-2 CENTS Several Contracts Have Been Writ ten in This State Possible Yield on 'the Reduced Acreage. More Interest Is shown in the bop trade at the present time In 1910 contracts than hi spot goods. Not that the season for 1109 hops Is ever, but the dealers ere taking advantage of the. present lull In butrtness to secure con tracts where possible. Two or three have been writ t ten at 16 cents, and offers of 16 cents have been made to responsible grow ers. The steady reduction that has taken place ia the world's hop acreage makes It evident that the coming- crop, even If a full average one to the acre, cannot be anything but a short one, that to, as compared with the average crops of several years ago. The following table, taken mostly from official records, ah'Aa the- area under hops in the different countries of the world in which bops axe cultivated.: 19f-0 1907 1 90S Acre. Acres. Acres.

In England the acreage was reduced laat year to 32,539 acres and in Germany to 71,503 acres. While some of the dealers are willing to pay 16 and 10i cents for contracts, there are others who consider the price unsafe. In view of the halting course of this year's mar ket when all statistics would seem to justify extremely high values. It to pointed out that the world's acrcagn, under the most favorable conditions, might produce a crop equal or better than that of 1908 and unless the carry-over surplus in all hands should be entirely worked off by the time the new crop appears, it Is a question whether high prices materialize. The spot market during the past fortnight has been very dull, only a few small lots of the 19u9 crop changing hands. A sale of 1907s at 11 cents was made a few days ago. A number of out-of-town hopmen were in the city yesterday td attend the trial of the suit of McNefT Bros, against McGillory & Bozart, of Gaeton, which was decided In favor of McNeff Bros., who sued the Gaston grow ers fur failure to deliver hops on contract. The court held that the contract was good, as the buyers conformed to It. LOCAL GRAIN MARKET 13 QUIET. Ko Changes in AVheat, Oats or Barley Quo tations. Dullness prevailed in the local grain mar ket yesterday. Saturday to usually a quiet day, and with the Eastern exchanges closed, there was a holiday feeling in the local trade. Former prices were quoted. Local receipts in cars were reported by the Merchants' Exchange as follows: .

The week closed with a general clean-up in the poultry market. Chickens were strong and turkeys were in fair demand, but there was not much inquiry for ducks. Eggs sold at the previous day's prices. 28 and 29 cents. Receipts were not heavy and most of the dealers worked off their' stock before the short business day closed. The butter market held its own. Most of the city creameries report their make as light, and as there Is not an excessive amount of outside butter offering, the tone of the market is very steady. There is a good demand for cheese at the current prices. ONION SHITTING MOVEMENT GOOD. Seventeen Cars -Sent Out in the Past Week. Seventeen cars of onions, were shipped out In the past week, according to the returns made at yesterday's meeting of the Con federated Onion -Growers Association. The demand is good and at the present rate of 65 cars a month being shipped, the entire supply in the state will be disposed of by tha middle of April. As the Southern crop of new onions will . be late, on account of the severe "Winter, the Oregon growers are well satisfied that they will get good prices for their onions up to the close. Fmir Cars of Bananas In. Four cars of bananas were the principal reoelpts In the fruit market yesterday. Three of them were in good shape and one was ripe. Apples and oranges moved as form erly. A car of celery was received. A good demand for all classes of vegetables was reported. Bank Clearings. Bank clearings of the Northwestern cities yesterday were as follows: Clearings, Balances.

CALDWELL, Idaho. Feb. 12. (Spe cial.) That CaJdwell Is on the eve of greater expansion, is apparent- The city has already entered into a con tract with the Warren Construction Company, of Portland, to pave 23 blocks at a cost of $160,000. The Methodists of the city have start ed to build a $25,000 church. The Col lege of Idaho Is constructing three buildings, at an outlay of $175,000. The Masons are figuring on a temple to cost $20,000. The Grand Lodgre of L O. O. F. has located the Oddfellows' Home here, and will spend $3000 this Spring in beautifying and preparing the grounds for a. building. Then bonds have been voted and work commenced on a sewer district which will cost approximately $60,000. A proposal will be submitted to a vote of the people January 21 for the issue of $50,000 in bonds for an ex tension of the present water system. Caldwell has the best water supply of any town of its size in the state. The water comes from three artesian wells. In less than nine months the build ings and improvements projected will ha.ve been completed The city then will have more than 24 miles of sewer age and double that number of miles of cement sidewalks. One of the greatest needs of the city at present is "houses to rent," There is no better investtient to be made here, say contractors, than that of building moderate-sized cottages to rent. Another indication that promises much not only for Caldwell, but for this entire valley, is that the water for the big Deer Flat reservoir will be ready for distribution this Spring. When completed it will supply Irriga tion for 400,000 acres. Another indi cation that the present year is to be a record-breaker is the fact that the snowfall in the mountains has been much greater than usual. The Boise Valley this Winter experienced the heaviest snowfall in many years, and the farmers are encouraged. The fruit was never better than at present. While there Is 6oma railroad talk, nothing positive is announced, although it is rumored that the Boise Interurban will extend its branch line from Cald well to Roswell, a distance of 16 miles. Tom Richardson, the booster of Ore gon, entertained a large crowd at the Commercial Club rooms Friday night, taking for his text "How W'e Built Portland and How You Can Build Caldwell." The meeting was one of the most enthusiastic ever held by the Commercial Club. men to stag1 the "holdup" and had them practice their parts in his office. He also made note of their personal appear ance. They were instructed' exactly what to do and what to say: AH of these things were placed in a notebook In or der that the testimony might be com pared with the facts. The class in psy chology had just assembled when In rushed "Jones," who whirled about and pointed a wrench at his pursuers and exclaimed: "Stand back, or m shoot," Turning, he ran across the room and dropped to his knees, letting fall a small bag which he carried, saying: "There, take it," and ran out of the room. He was closely followed by "Smith and White." Smith yelled "give it up. you scoundrel." and grabbed the bag and ran out. White came in carrying a small revolver with the cylinder removed, yell ing: "Take it from him. Eddie. He won't hurt you," The play lasted only a few seconds, and Professor McKeever asked each member of the class to write an account of what happened. Although Smith was not armed in any manner, yet two testified that he carried a revolver in his hands and snapped it several times, while a third credited him with saying: "Stop, or I'll shoot," at the same time aiming at Jones. White, though armed, was scarcely noticed. One witness testified that he carried a club of some kind, but no one mentioned, the fact that he carried a revolver with the cylinder removed Likewise,- testimony as to the appearance of the individuals did not agree. After the testimony was all in. Professor McKeever said: "It was just a plain case of -attempting to tell what they saw while excited, and they could not do it and agree." APPLE MARKET IS WEAK SEATTLE OVERSTOCKED PRICES IiOWER, AXD HOLDUP GIVEN AS LESSON Psychology Professor Shows How Testimony May Be Wrong. MANHATTAN, Kan., Feb. 12. Pro fessor McKeever, of the Kansas Agricul tural College, in an experiment before a psychology class, staged a "holdup" In his classroom Friday, and afterward took testimony on the subject. The object was to test the reliability of eye-witnesses. Professor McKeever selected three young Eggs Will Be Quoted Down Tomor row Plenty of California Of feredButter Is Steady. SEATTLE, Feb. 12. The apple market U weak and prices are generally about 25 cents per box less than at the beginning of the week. Winesaps that commanded $250 last week are offered at 2.23 at present. Only an exceptional box sells at the old price. A large percentage of the Eastern Washington apples smppea. in nave to oe repacked and the supply Is heavier than at any time since the new crop came on the market. The general run of prices on the best selling fruit is as follows: Baldwins, $1.50; Spitzenbergs, J 2-50; Stamen Wlneaaps, fl.&O to $1.73; Winesaps, $2.2'5; Rhode Isl and Greenings, $1.50 to $1.75: Grimes Gol den, 1.60 to 1.75 ; Senators. $ 1.50 to $1.75; White Winter permalns, 1.75 to $2. The buying price of eggs Monday will be 29 cents, and the Jobbing price 32 cents. Today fresh locals and good Oregons sold from 32 to 34 cents. The California supply is heavy, making up for the shortage of fresh locals. Some jobbers were entirely out of Eastern eggs today. Poultry cleaned up. Veal was firm. But ter was unchanged. Other markets were unchanged. SENATOR'S SON IS INSANE John B. Allen, Jr., "Will Be Taken to Medical Lake. WALLA WALLA, -Wash., Feb. 12. (Special.) John B. Allen, Jr., son of the late United States Senator Allen, of this city, e.nd a nephew of Judge Edward Whltson, of the United States District Court, was found Insane tfday after the jury had listened to evidence for two days. Allen will he taken to Medical Lake probably Monday. The Aliens ere well off. and the son Is now about to enter the Insane Institu tion for the second time. His mother put up a hard fight to keep him at home ctnd demanded a jury trial. Allen labors under the delusion that electricity is det rimental to health and that his mother is squandering the state.
