THE OREGON DAILY JOURNAL. PORTLAND,: SATURDAY EVENING, AUGUST 15. 1914. CAPTURE OF HOP T HAS TONE WITH NO SELLING HERE Growers Are Not Inclined to Let Go Because of he Expectation of Still Higher Values; World's Crop Reported Short. Generally. The exceedingly strong tons In the hop market here Is attributed directly to the European war situation. While the market le nominally very firm, practically no business is passing; here, although some activity Is stlU showing In California at better prices. The fact that the bulk of the usual world's supply of hops Is in danger In KuroTM uwins to tha Drobable scarcity of harvesters, as well as the lack of transportation facilities, has caused unusual strength to prevail in the trade here and elsewhere throughout the United States and England. English hoo prices continue to show advanoinar tendency, with recent nrices htrclv hither. There is more or leas talk among short interests that the war will not affect the price or hops; but those who are neither long nor 'short are of the decided opinion that the troubles abroad cannot help but force American hop values higher. The entire world's crop, even under the best of harvest conditions, is much smaller than a year ago. The Oregon eroD estimate Is being almost dally les sened, owing to the continued dry weather, which has curtailed the arm reduction. The cruD in western Wash ington has been curtailed in a similar way, and the ravages of the red spider have brought down stlU further the expected production. The Taklma sec tion alone will likely have a bigger crop than a year ago because the crops there are Irrigated, and the chief source of the trouble with this year's crop elsewhere Is not apparent there. Under existing conditions there Is practically no inclination among local producers to contract their crops. There is more or less guess as to the probable price that will rule for hops after the picking, but the general ideas of the trade, as well as of producers, are that higher figures will be forced. CHICKEX MARKET VERY FIRM . Market for chickens is showing strength at the closing of the week's trade along Front street. There were but limited arrivals, and these were quickly picked up. The price remains at 16c a pound ror hens. MEATS ARE GETTING SCARCE While the demand is by no means extensive, the call tor country Kinea meats Is much better than orrertngs. Prices are. therefore, holding at the ex treme marks for both veal and hogs today. GLUT OF TOMATOES HERE There Is a glut of tomatoes on the local market, and all sorts of values are ruling. California stock is still In abundance, and there are very liberal arrivals from the valley and from The Dalles. SUPPLY OF CORN IS HEAVIER Rather heavy supplies of green corn were offering along Front street today, and values wire generally demoralized. While the trade was still asking as high as 11.15 a sack for supplies the bulk of the business was from 76c to $1.00. LEMONS TO ADVANCE AGAIN With a further advance in the price of lemons by the combination of Cali fornia producers, local prices were gen erally lifted to $10a case this morning. The trade here is simply following the forced advances made by the producers. COFFEE MARKET GOES DOWN Latest advices from New York indi cate that there was not the slightest excuse for the recent sharp advance In the price of spot coffee, either there or elsewhere throughout the country. Most of the advance has already been lost In the eastern market.

An advance of 2 Vic a pound will be made in the price here of creamery butter Monday morning, making the new quotation zor city prints boo a pound.

One of the leading local creameries , announced today that the advance was absolutely necesary, as it has not c-een able to secure sufficient cream ; to take care of its orders.

TIT REni'fTIO'V IS PTjANVKTI Pruning Process Will Begin by City Commissioners. An effort Is to be made by the city commissioners to so prepare their budgets that the next tax levy will not exceed 7 mills, whloh Is seven-tenths of a mill less than the levy for 1914 taxes, and for 1913. This would mean a reduction of about $!10,0Q0 in the amount tbe taxpayers would have to pay for maintaining tne city government. Budget forms were received from the printer yesterday by Commission er C. A. Bigelow. of the department of finance, and they will be distributed at once so the various departments can prepare their budgets. Then tho pruning process will begin. The budget committee consists of Commissioners Bigelow and Brewater and Auditor Barbur, as voting mem bers, and the secretary of the civil service commission and the city pur chasing agent as advisory members. Commissioner Bigelow ssys the matter of next year's city taxes has been discussed to some extent among the commissioners and they are agreed that an effort shall be made to hold the levy down as far as possible. He said no extensive improvements are contemplated by any of the depart ments and that the city's finances are now In very healthy condition, which ought to enable them to carry out their Intentions for a lower tax levy next year.

Ths pav ing company was under contract to -maintain the pavement tn that por tion of the addition north of Ladd , avenue for a period Of 10 years, but It appears such an agreement does not exist as to ths paring south ot Ladd avenue. This pavement is now reported In very bad condition. Property owners in the southern portion. of the addition have been con tending that the city should maintain . the pavement for the 10 year period. -bu.t the city attorney points out that the pavement was never accepted by the city, as It was not laid accord ing to the requirements of the city. . It was not laid as thick as the city requires. The city attorney advises that ths property owners may bring suit for damages against the paving company. But In any event the city can serve notice on the paving company and ths Ladd estate to remove the pavement within 30 daya and If this Is not done they can be prosecuted for ob structing the streets with pavement ordered removed.
