THE SUNDAY OREGONIAN, PORTLAND, MAY 1, 1910. 23 TONE IS STEADIER Better Feeling Exists in the Hop Trade. CALIFORNIA MARKET FIRM Trade in This State Continues Uglit in Volume Two-Cent iecline in Butter -Too 31any Strawberries. A ,iiewliat steadier Irtno lias developed in the hop marknU ComI n g, as it does, . without any material Increase In business. It must be regarded as a healthy sign. Th Improvement was first noted in California, whfiT there has been a better inquiry and Rt a higher range of prices than were re rent ly paid, but the California growers are hoMInc bark. Throughout the season the f'allfurnia market has shown the first in dications when an active period was about to open. The month Just closed was the lightest, in point of business done. In Oregon sine the reason opened. The principal buying recently has been done by H. L. Hart, who, in the past two weeks, has secured 1200 bales from dealers and growers. Growers having good hops on hand have not been In the market and even the holders of poor grades are not ready sellers except at prices above buyers ' views. The demand, however, has been chiefly for good grades at prices at which the inferior sorts are held. "Weather conditions In Oregon up to the present time have been good for the grow ing crop. The plant has made rapid prog ress, some growers think too rapid, but others are not alarmed by this circum stance. In a few sections, where the yards have not done well In recent years, the stand Is not as healthy as would be liked, but elsewhere Jn the Valley the hops are looking remarkably tine. The Oregon yards this year will receive the best of care. The good market prospects will be respon sible for this. The American A grlculturlst of April 23 aid of conditions in New York State: "The hopyards in April in New York are In satisfactory condlt Ion. Tloots have win tered well In most instances, and growers report finding very few dead hills this Spring. Acreage of bearing hops will prob Hhly be about the same as last year, so far as present advices to the American Agri culturist indicate. In Otsego County some now yards are being set, but it is expressed that there will not be over G to 10 per cent liureaso in acreage. Last year's crop is practically all out of growers hands in this count y. 1 n Schoharie acreage may be Increased slightly. Reports say no last year's hops In sight and about 700 bales old goods to be sold. From Herkimer, On tario, Montgomery, T-Ivlngston, Oneida and other counties optimistic reports are given as to condition of roots." LOCAL ORAIW TRADE 18 PI LL. Former Irices Are Quoted "Large Russian Shipments. The local grain markets were dull yes terday. In wheat the feeling was about steady, but there dJd not appear to be either buyers or sellers, and accurate prices were, therefore, hard to obtain. The trade in general Is watting to see whether the slump In the foreign market is at an end. The movement in oats and barley Is also nearly stagnant.

STOCKSAIEOTTON Former Show Effect of the Squeeze in the Latter. TRADERS ARE CAUTIOUS Vitli Reduction of the Short Inter est, Demand Is Lessened De cline in Discount Rates in Paris and Berlin. NEHV TORK. April 30. The utock market today reflected a recurrence of uneasinesar over the cotton market situation and aleo lacked the sustaining force of the demand from shorts, owing; to the large reduction of the short Interest effected yesterday and which wns the cause of the rally in prices then. Some sensational rumors were in circulation regarding the action of the so called cotton pool, and the consequences which might be involved in carrying the speculative position In that article. The enormous deliveries of Mav cotton, of which notices were filed yesterday to the extent of 17,Xo bales. Indicate the heavy liabili ties at stake. The tone of the mercantile reviews did not serve to clear up the uncertainty felt over the business prospects and the blowing out of additional stacks by iron furnaces kept attention focused on the" Iron trade re cession. Reports of cancellation of orders for railroad equipment by some of the Im portant Western railroad systems suKgested further elements of depression in the branches of the Iron and steel trade. The influence of the proposed increase in freight rates by the Western railroad systems seems to have passed away today and there was revived discussion also of the effect of the damage to crops. x decline Is discount1 rates In the London and Berlin money market was a. feature of the day and foreign exchange rates here showed yielding tendency.

(Special. The supply of berries was so heavy today that the fruit was practically given away In some Instances in order to clean up the supply before night. The total receipts of the day aggregated 4452 crates, the largest of the year. Good sound Loes Angeles ber ries sold as high as $1.23, although the prevailing prices on fair quality stock was from 75 cents to $1. One of the largest sales of the day was 100 crates at ."7 14' cents. Potato receipts were again heavy, aggre gating 15 carloads. It Is coming to be a question what is to be done with all the tubers that are arriving. A few Oregon berries arrived, but did not move very fast, owing to the cheapness of other stock. Hood River berries ure expect ed toward the end of next week. More eggs arrived today than could be tised, but the market was steady at 273 28 cents. The demand was brisk. Butter was steady at the decline. The cut did not -help the demand much, but is ex pected to check the movement of Oregon butter into this market. Poultry was in better supply, but cleaned up in good shape. Wheat was firm at 88 cents for bluestem and 85 cents for club. SAN FRANCISCO QUOTATIONS. Produce Prices Current In the Bay city Markets.

April 30. !Win flies and phlnohhugs held the imagination of wheat speculators late In the session, today and ex cluded from attention the reports f rain in the Southwest and stories- that foreigners had been liberal sellers. After an early decline, wheat cl.ised firm at a shade to 'rc ad vance. Corn closed to 'fc higher. Oats were unchanged to o lower and provis ions 10 to 25c nigher. Notwithstanding the strength or wheat In the final dealings, the weak period was of longer duration than on yesterdsy and the net gain was small. News regarding rain today was somewhat discounted becauso the showers were said to be scattered and not of the soak ing variety. Announcement by railroads that recent crop damage narratives- had been exaggerated, especially as to the effects of the cold snap, were more than offset by seemingly countless advices by wire and mall reiterating details as to fly and bug Invasion. September wheat opened Vie to c lower at $l.oi to $1.01, touched $l.O0, advanced to $1.01 and closed at $1.01ViS-i.01. Prospect of continued light receipts was the chief reason cited for the strength In corn. July opened c lower to c higher at 61 ?61c, sold up to 62o and closed firm with in a shade of the top.

Banks' Make a Good Showing Despite the Heavy s Exports of Gold. NEW TORK. April 30. The Financier will ay : "The effect of the very heavy exports of sold last week were shown in the state ment of the' clearing-house banks of New Vork. issued Saturday. The banks lost $14. 210,400 in specie, but a slight .yaln in leffals made the net loss in cash for the week, $13. 418,000. The effect of this depletion of reserves was somewhat minimized by a contraction of $7,77.70 in loans and a decrease of $20,844, GOO in deposits. The latter, of course, lessened reserve require ments by about $5,000,000. The decrease in surplus reserve compared with the previous week was $8,20G,3ftO, the surplus on Sat urday standing at $4,182,650. This showing. In view of the loss of something; like $14, 0O,0OO in sold during the past few days, Wnust be set down as favorable. The statement of averages did not in clude the operations described, and based' on tj statement of averages, the surplus re serve figured out $0.1 71.150. The loans of th clearing-house banks are now about $2,000,000 in excess of their deposits. The statement of averages or the clearlng houue banks for the week shows a decrease of $3,244,475 In the proportionate cash re serve as compared with last week. The statement foil ows : Decrease.
