HOPS AT 19 GENTS
Several Hundred Bales of New
Crop Sold by Growers.
DEALER SALES ARE LARGE
Over One Thousand Bales Trans
ferred by Latter During Week.
Values In the Coast States Are
Gradually Declining.
The hop market t the close of the wee
vil off 1 cent on futures, as compared with
week ao. The feature of the week was
the heavr Helling of the new crop by deal
ers. Practically nothinc was done In spot
hops, which are so scire as to attract but
little attention.
Among the contracts closed with growers
at the end of the week was one for 50.000
pounds at 11 cents and another for 10.000
rounds at the same figure. Other business
st 19 cents was pending.
Over 1000 bales of the new crop were
unloaded by dealers daring the week. Most
r.f the business In the first part of the week
was around SO cents, but the transfers In
the past day or two were under this figure.
Surprise was expressed In soma quarters
that the market should break under the
?o-cent level, as many growers supposed
t'-tat firure represented the bottom, but It
way found Impossible to maintain the price.
In the far-e of reduced orders and lower lim
it from the Eastern and foreign trade.
The California market Is keeping pace
with the decline In the north. Contract or
T9 held by Sonoma dealers are 2 cents
loner In price than those of last Monday.
Spot are necessarily weak there, as Cali
fornia has the largest supply of mils in
the country, for which there seems to be
no demand. Holders of last year's hops
In that state are offering them for sale at
2m to 22 cents.
Crop prospects everywhere continue good.
Hops are forming well In Oregon and the
weather could not be better.
WHEAT BCYIN'G IS XOT SO ACTIVE
Karl? Ruh for Grain Appears to Be at
an End.
With about 1 ,000.000 bushels of new wheat
bought to date, trading slowed down mate
rially yesterday. Pome of the targe buyers
withdrew from the market entirely and
olhera turned sellers. Tha purchasing to
date has nearly all been for account of
early shins, and It Is understood these
early requirements have practically all been
filled. With a slower demand, an easing off
In values Is probable.
Buyers yesterday quoted club at 73 eenls
and bluestem at SI fj 82 cents. Small lota of
club have been bought for qulk delivery al
a rent above the price quoted.
Trading In new oats and barley at coun
try points Is on a moderate scale at the
prices lately quoted.

galned"money from the Interior during the
week Just ended, although the $2,S8O.O00 in
crease reported In Saturday's statement waa
less than half the amount Indicated by pre
liminary estimates. The drastic process of
reducing loans, which has been shown sev
eral weeks past, seems to have ended and
the banks this week increased their loan
committments by $6,879,000. Deposits, as a
result of the changes noted, rose $7,722,000
and the Increased reserve requirement there
by necessitated counteracted the cash gain,
so that the banks ended the week with a
gain In surplus amounting only to $72,700,
the present total above the 25 per cent min
imum standing at $19,238,500.
These figures are based on the report of

The fluctuations of domestic exchange at
Interior points, due to increasing harvest
demands, lent ground to the belief that the
movement of money In this direction will
soon give way to an opposite tendency.

CATTLE MARKET IS GOOD
All Reports to Contrary Are Erro
neous, Asserts D. O. Ilvely.
Commenting on the reports published
In a Portland evening paper, to the
discredit of the livestock market of
this city, D. O. Lively, vice-president
of the Portland Union Stockyards Com
pany, says in his weekly market re
view: There was no appreciable change in
the cattle market and the receipts did
not give buyers an opportunity to have
much to say about prices. There was
active competition for anything that
was offered and the market ran strong.
Irresponsible market reporters are con
stantly directing attention to the great
difference between the cattle prices on
this market and similar market cen
ters at Eastern points. This misinfor
mation has no influence with the reg
ular patrons of this market who have
been coming regularly since It was
established, but country buyers use this
In keeping shippers away from Port
land. As a matter of fact, quality con
sidered, the average cost of the cattle
droves purchased by packers and kill
ers on this market are higher than
at any other point In the United States.
It must be borne in mind that an excep
tionally low price does not constitute
the market. The bulk of the sales made
constftutes the market For instance,
the top steers sold for S7; the bulk of
the sales were around $6.75 for grass
fed cattle."

RUSSIA TROUBLES PRIEST
Dean of Auckland Forced . to Dress
as Layman in Czar's Land.
DUBLIN, July 17. (Special.) It Is
a hard ease apparently when a Catholic
priest gets anywhere near Russian au
thority. The experiences of Dean Ma
hony of Auckland, New Zealand, who is
visiting Wexford Just now, is a fair
example.
"When I left New Zealand." hs says.
"I had my passport prepared by the
Minister of Justice In Wellington. I
t, 1.- . J T ti- w.ro nrnhlblted
from entering Russia, but I did not
know an ordinary Cathollo priest
would have trouble in passing through
the Cist's territory.
"At Yokohama, however. I received
a foretaste of difficulty, for th6 Rus
sian Consul there. M. WUm, refused
tosslgn my passport, wnlcti aescriQea
- ". .vli, lMt Then I Its
British Consul Hall, an Ulster man,
but a great Home Ruler. He had nev
er heard of such a prohibition and
went with me to the Russian Consul,
who reiterated that it was not a ques
tion of whether I waa a Jesuit or not
as a Catholic priest I was not free to
travel except by special permission of
the Russian government.
"So I went on to xoato, wn . w
the First Secretary of the British Le
gation, "Who gave me a letter to the
Russian Embassy explaining ths hard
ship of the case. The Russian Ambass
ador received me, and after a consul
tation with his secretaries he said he
would issue the passport if I would
consent to dress in piain
not liwser In Russia. On those terms I
arot through without further ob
stacle."

RECEIPTS TO INCREASE
PORTLAND POSTOFFICE , WILL
GET 000 FROM STATE.
Initiative and Referendum Pa m-
t phlets to Be Mailed Here
Instead of Salem.
SALEM. Or., July 27. (Special.)
Six thousand dollars In a lump sura-
wlli be added to the receipts of the
fortiand postofftce this year, through
arrangements which Secretary of State
Olcott has made with Postmaster Mer
rick. to have the Initiative and ref
erendum pamphlets wrapped and
hipped out of Portland.
State Printer Dunlway has caused
the type for the pamphlets to be set
in the state printing plant here, but
a contract has been entered Into to have
the printing and binding done by a
Portland firm, the metal being shipped
from here containing the type.
Secretary Olcott says that the freight
on the completed pamphlets, to ship
back to Salem from Portland, would
be $135, and to save that added ex
pense, as well as to place the wrap
ping In the hands of experienced girls,
who have been contracted for, the Sec
retary decided to have tha pamphlets
mailed from the Portland postofflce,
and the permits for mailing will be pur
chased there.
While the pamphlet this year con
tains 225 pages, as compared to 208
pages In 1910, the cost of posting will
be the same four cents per pamphlet,
the paper being somewhat thinner. As
160.000 pamphlets will be mailed, the
total cost of postage will be a flat
(6000.
The pamphlet will contain 38 meas
ures. It will also contain 18 pages of
afflmatlve arguments and 55 pages of
negative arguments. The affirmative
arguments will cost those presenting
them 11260, while the negative argu
ments will cost (3850, this being a total
of $5110, which will be paid into the
state by those filing arguments.
W. S. U'lten was responsible for
a large number of the arguments,
he and some others filing 1
pages ot negative arguments and" six
pages of affirmative arguments, at a
total cost of $1750. The greatest num
ber of pages devoted to any individual
argument is In the argument filed by
W. S. Dunlway against the bill to place
the State Printer on a flat salary. This
argument contains 13 pages, and will
cost the filer $910 to have printed.
There will be two carloads of paper
used In the Initiative and referendum
pamphlet.
By the use of the rapid addressing
machine, which was purchased by Sec
retary Olcott, the pamphlets will be
sent out In wrappers instead of envel
opes, thus saving considerable time. The
wrappers will be sddressed here and
forwarded to Portland.
