remains very quiet, neither brewers nor
dealers showlnf much disposition to
take hold, and the business doing is
wholly in a small way. Those who own
hops apparently feel a good deal of con
fidence In the future of the market;
the basis of this confidence being the
strong statistical position. It would
be useless to hurry sales Just now, and

IS THROVN OPEN TO
FISHE
Local Interests Agitated Over Opon
, ing of Lewis & Clark atd Young's
River for Salmon Catching While
the Willamette Is Closed.
The determination of the state fish
commission to allow Astoria fisherman
to catch shad and salmon in Young's
bay and the Lewis & Clark river, con
trary to law. has stirred uo Willamette
and Clackamas fishing interests.
According to a leading packing in
terest who operated on the CoUMnbla
riven the commission has no-authority
to set aside a law of the legislature :o
open a stream for salmon fishing. How
ever, the law provides that the eOmnils
sion can close any stream for hatchery
purposes.
While the law does not close the Wl'
lamette and Clackamas rivers to sal
mon' fishermen during the same period
as the Columbia Is closed, the fish com
mission has. during recent seasons, is
sued a proclamation closing them for
hatchery purposes. - This Is said by
Willamette river interests to be done
at the instigation of the-Astoria people.
"in this action onenlne the L,ewlB &
Clark river as well as Young's river to
snad ana salmon nsnlna- the state com-
irrt ssrtont!HHp"rR cTttfly 7e v e fScd "TfSel f7
says riooert o. rarreu or tne Pinsr
Rock Packing company. "It was claimed
that - the Willamette was closed - for
hatchery purposes but there Is also a
hatchery on Young's river and yet that
stream is being opened contrary to th!
law."
Fresh fish dealer of this c ty are
considerably agitated over the matter
and say that a test case is likely to
be made. "Astoria gets everything it
wants from the fish commission," say
one dealer, "while- Portland and the
rest of the state, which pays the ma
jority of the taxes to support the in
dustry are compelled to get inferior
salmon from Puget sound ami the Sac
ramento river In order to supply their
needs. Otherwise they might buy As?
toria canned salmon."

There was only a small amount of
stuff available In the yards at North
Portland today and general conditions
were unchanged.
At the first meeting of the new board
of directors of - the Portland Livestock
Exchange.- R. B. Caswell was elected
vice president while William Burke. Jr.,
waa reelected secretary. Mr. Burke has
been secretary of the exchange since Its
formation. . ..
That Oregon should make an exten
sive livestock display at the Panama
American exposition , at San Francisco
was the decision of the exchange, O, M.
Plummer. secretary-treasurer of the
Portland Union Stockyards comrany and
president of the Portland Livestock ex
change, was selected as representative
of the exchange on the excursion to the
Bay City when the site for the Oregon
building is selected.
The exchange has decided to act as
arbitrator In disputes between shipper
and the railroads. Both sides are there
fore Insured of a square deal. '
Best Hogs at 88.73.
Best hogs sold at $.75 in the North
Portland yards today. Receipts In this
line were small, only 179 head appear
ing during the 24 hburs. compared with
67 head last Saturday for - the i like
period.
At markets enst of the Rockies, there
was a more favorable tone, in the hog
trade. -Buvinir shows better nhnmntAr
and this therefore has stimulated val
ues. At Chicago the opening of the
market today was at an advance of a
nickel, but a further rise of equal
amount was shown later in the aay.
Run of hogs there for the day was 13,
000 head compared with 14,000 a year
ago. Tops sold at $6.70 or but 6o under
the local trade.
At Kansas City there was an advanoe
of 6c in the prlee of hogs, Run fori

and that branch of the trade was nom

than they need and for that reason the
lack of arrivals at this time is not
noted.
At Chicago there, was a steady tone in
the cattle trade today with no change in
prices.

the local trade, for such, action was

Heavy, business is offering In the
wheat' market and quite . a few pur
chases were reported in the Interior dur
ing the past 24 hours. The. track basis
continues' generally at 87c for club and
90c for bluestem, Efforts to buy below
these figures have resulted in failure.
Both central and southern California
are eager purchasers of wheat through
local parties. . Some local millers are
likewise operating, but others are seem
ingly not so keen for supplies and are
offering a cent less than the, others.
- Flour market is firmer with no change
in prices noted for either patent or
export during the day.
Strength in the oats market is the
result of additional heavy shipments to
California by Willamette valley grow
ers. The strength in the interior is cur
tailing the movement to Portland and
altogether the situation is much better.
