THE SUNDAY OREGON IAN, PORTLAND. JULY 16, 1922 SMALLER HOP CROP IS H PROSPECT Growers Hope Effect on Market Will Be Bullish. YIELD IN 1921 TOO LARGE Dry Weather Likely to Cut Boiyn ' Traduction In Northwest; No Demand From Any Source. Hop growers and dealers are hoping that the prospect for shorter crop in the northwest will stimulate the mar ket, but up to this time rt has had no effect whatever on tho demand which continues stagnant. , No accurate estimate can be made yet of the Oregon crop. Last year It was about 65,000 bales. The acreage remainB the same, around 11,000, but the dry weather has been against the chances of a yield equalling last year's. Unless rain comes .before the hops begin to bloom the crop Is bound, to be cut down ma terially. Some hop men are talking of a 30,000-bala crop, but this Is purely a guess. - According to the government report, the hop acreage in Washington is 8000 acres, or practically the same as last year. Averaging 94 per cent of normal on July 1, the crop Is expected to amount to 4,512,000 pounds against 5.100,000 pounds in 1921, Hop yards in the Yakima valley are reported to be in very good condition but the yards in western Wash ington are in need of rain. The California outlook is for a yield about the same as in 1921. If all the coast states grow as many hops as last year there will not be much hope for the market. There was overproduction in 1921 and the output will have to be much smaller this year to equalize con ditions. England and the continent have had a drouth which would naturally have the effect of shortening the hop crop, but the foreign dealers are waiting for the hops to bloom before giving out any esti mates. There nasceen very little trading in the" local market in recent weeks. Nom inal prices on spot hops range from 12 to 15 cents. No new crop- contracts have been reported for over a month. The last business was around the .15-cent mark. EASIER OFFERS FOR SPOT WHEAT Volume of Trading Limited at Close of Week. Wheat trading was limited at the close of the week. Buyers were a little easier on spot wheat, offering 11.18, but for the new crop 1 net was again bid. At the Merchants' exchange all grades were the same on bid as Friday. The daily Chicago wire to the Gray Bosenbaum Grain company follows: "European crop conditions equal to last year. Weather southwest and north west favorable. larger country offer ings expected next week. Spring wheat likely to pass safety point next week, eliminating black rust danger. Railroad strike remaining unsettling feature. Can not see any material advance wheat. Would sell on all bulges.' Liverpool wheat closed d higher at 10s lOd for July and 10s 654d for Sep tember. The Missouri crop report follows: "Cinch bugs are more menacing than at any time during the last 25 years. Reports from 39 counties from Bates eastward to the Mississippi river and north as far as day are that practically every county within this belt has had cinch-bug damage to wheat. They have already moved to corn, killing some of the fields and greatly menacing com in others." A report from Great Bend, Kan., said: "Lots of fields here not cut and some down so bad will never be cut. Wheat in shocks being damaged account heavy rains. Dealers report that little wheat coming in from the country now is in bad condition. Excessive moisture in some cases as high as 20 per cent. Ex pect to start threshing middle of next week if no more rain." Terminal receipts, in cars, were re ported by the Merchants" Exchange as follows: , Wheat. Brly. Fir. Oats. Hay.

CHICAGO. July 15. Short covering to ward the finish caused a little rally in wheat today. In fact the market dis played a firm undertone for the greater part of the short session. At the fin ish wheat was unchanged to He higher, with September $1,141 1.1454. and De cember $1.1614 1.16: corn unchanged to c lower; oats, to Vic up and proJ TIBIUJIS IftfG Oil. Apprehension of a rapid development of black rust in the spring wheat ter ritory, as the result of higher temper ature, and buying by commission houses were largely responsible for a higher average for wheat. Strength of the mar ket at Liverpool also was reflected here, while the government report that chinch bugs In Missouri are causing more, dam age to wheat at this time than at any time within 25 years, was another strengthening factor. Hedging pressure' increased and with the resumption of threshing in the southwest, the trade is anticipating a material enlargement In the movement the latter part of the month. Corn and oats held within narrow limits with corn showing a firm under tone, chiefly because of scattered buy ing by cash houses, presumably against further sales to the seaboard for ex port Oats were dull and the trade chiefly of a local character. Provisions were dull and somewhat easier under scattered selling, which more than offset the strength in hogs and the firmness in exchange. The Chicago grain letter received yesterday by the Overbeck A Cooke company of Portland follows: Wheat Trade was exceedingly quiet, confined almost entirely to evening up of contracts over the week end. A feeling of indecision was prevalent with Interest centered on the northwestern crop situation, where spring wheat Is Just passing through its critical period. The reports today were less encouraging than they have been recently; our crop expert reported black rust in the vicinity of Fargo, N. D., and another reliable authority wired from Bradley, S. D., that small grains are deteriorating in central South Dakota and western Minnesota, due to hot, dry weather. Advices from the Bouthwest told of threshing and poor quality as a result of excessive rains since wheat was shocked. Country offer ings to arrive increased slightly, but were not heavy. The cash market here as well as at interior points was quoted relatively firm. The rail strike situa tion remains unchanged and much con cern is being felt as to shipments. Any news over Sunday suggesting black rust in the northwest, or deterioration from other causes will probably furnish the motive lor an upward movement In prices. r Corn and oats Trade in coarse grains was small and utterly devoid of feature. The tone of both corn and oats was firm, reflecting strength in the respec tive cash departments. The oats market has been more or less neglected for pome time, but in com sentiment favors higher prices with excellent prospects for a strong situation asserting itself in the near future. The statistical position, which at the start of the season was considered extremely bearish and virt ually Impossible to change, has been completely reversed by reason . of the tremendous farm consumption. It is now quite certain that the carry-over at the end of this year. will not exceed normal supply. We feel that coarse grains are at a level where the buying side affords good opportunities for profits. Rye Trade dull, reflecting changes in other grains. Crop and weather advices generally favorable. The cash market was relatively steady at 2 cents over the July for No. 2 on track. Leading futures ranged as follows: WHEAT. Onen. High. Low. Close.

EASTERN WASHINGTON PROSPECTS Reduced Wheat Yield Expected in All Sections. . Crop reports ' received bv the fraffic department of the Spokane, Portland & Seattle railway follow: Spokane The wheat situation looked somewhat better on the 10th. on ac count of slight rain on the 7th, and cool weatner since. The moisture, however, is not sufficient to justify any change in estimates of the crop in the Palouse country. Best reports obtainable from that section generally Indicate about 65 per cent of normal crop, with half a normal crop in Adams county, practically half a crop in Lincoln county. Franklin county seems to be in a little better shape. In the LaCrosse district of Whit man county, a 20-bushel per acre crop is expected. Goldendale. Wash. Farmers are let ting ready for harvest. A 60 per cent crop oi wneat ana nay is expected. wasntucna. Wash. Hot winds have damaged late grains to some extent. The average yield now estimated will be 12 to 15 bushels per acre, or about two thirds the ordinary crop, hot winds hav ing ripened grain Quicker than was ex pected. Macall, Wash. Hot winds on July 3 caused heavy damage to soring and some -to fall wheat. Rain now would not help pastures, which are very dry. Esti mates of a yield of eight bushels per acre are being made; some grains now being cut for hay. Lamont, Wash. Farmers estimate the winter and spring wheat yield about halt of normal; spring grain is suffer ing most for wsnt of rain. Madras, Or. The crop situation at this time Is not the most promising but hardly a failure. Fall wheat is short in growth and not of very thick stand and Is ripening fast. Spring wheat is mak ing a better growth and should b plumper and better quality. Spring wheat will produce more bushels per acre this year than fall sown, although usually the situation is the reverse. Har vest will be earlier this year and will begin within the next ten days. Metolius, Or. Extremely hot weather, hot winds and no rain make crop con ditions look very poor at present. Lewiston, Ida- -Continued hot weather has caused considerable damage to grain Immediately surrounding Lewiston. Fall grain in the Camas prairie district is not expected to yield more than 70 per cent of average crop. Cash Grain Markets. Furnished by Jordan, Wentworth & Co. Portland. - MINNEAPOLIS, . July 15.
