PPJCES ARE EXPECTED TO BE
MAINTAINED. .; ' ,
With both 'dealers and growers In
better humor considerable business '
heing done in bop circles, and the toae
,-of the market is very much Improved.
The first of tniweelt there seemed to
be no orders in sight at reasonable
pr'ces, the oldorders bavin been filled
and brewers showed a. tendency to
td&nd off for a time, and do' their brew
ing on hops they already have on band.
.During the last few., day, however,
a large number of sales have been
made, and the demand is active for
hop at . ruling- Trices. While ' no great
advance la looked for soon, yet the
market seems likely -to hold up at
present value or a little better. Both
English and American dealers are buy
ing liberally, although brewers already
have enough on hand to last for some
nme.
The Southern Pacific Company has
carried 40.M9 hales of bona from the
state so far, and it ia estimated that
three-fourths of the hops are nold. In
Portland, 8000 bales are held for shipment-
because cars cannot be secure!
There is still a large number of lots
, In the country, scattered among the
growers, who do not dwire , to get
their hops into other hands until they
are sold.
It Is thought by a good many that
the business will be greatly revived
during the last days of November and
the first days of December, and If this
occurs it Is probable that nearly all of
the, hops left In Oregon will pass from
growers hands.
Amonr the recent sales of note mav
be mentioned the following, although a
large number of Inferior grade lots
have sold for from IS cents to 20 cents
J. carmicnael about two weeks ago
bought 4U bales from John Buchanan,
or Cornelius, for Ziv, cents and recent
ly purchased a choice lot of 100 bales
at ziv cents per pound; George N
Hubbard, of North Yakima, who is in
the city, bought tthe Putnam lot of 63
bales for 20 cents; Krebs Bros, vester-
day bought 90 bales of hops of the
jianan crop, uuisboro. at 22 cents.- K.
C. Ilerren bought the Fletcher and
Martin lots, of 10S bales from McMinn
ville; Catlin St L'nn bouicht the Ter
gatt lot of 70 bales from Buttevtlle,
and B. O. Shuckling & Company bought
370 bales from Lee Moon, a Chinaman.
It was reported last evening that the
Porterfleld lot. of Independence, con
sisting of over 100 bales, had been Sold
to Kaber 4k. Nels. of this ci'ty, for 214
cpnis. ana-tne Jim Cooper lot, 150
bales, to Charles Livesley for 21 cents.
A grower Jn Salem yesterday report
ed that he had sold his crop of choice
nops. 69 bales going at 23V4 cents, and
the remainder at 21J cents. This re
port could not be verified, but the!
grower probably knew of what he vtm
speaking.

Some interesting figures as to the

how a remarkable trade for so early
Jn the season. Out of a crop of 50,000
bales In California, four-fifths are now
out of first hands. One-half of the
an.ooo bales grown In Oregon have
Peen sold; 16.000 bales of the 32.00O

The Secretary of the- United States
I ... j ,. - .. . ;
; Department of Agriculture has Issued
his report of the crop I conditions of
the United States for the month of
November. In reference to the hop
movement of the United States, and.
the hop crop of England, the report
says: - 1
A. statement obtained by
portment from i the office otf Internal
Revenue, United States Treasury De
partment, shows that the actual quan
tities of domestic hops' ,; consumed bjr
breweries In the United States in the
fiscal year ended June 30, 1903,, were
38,457,27 pounds, t Brewers consump
tion of hops represents practically; all
ine oops usea jn wis country, tne pro
portion' utilized for medicinal and
other purposes being . a. comparatively
negligible- quantity., The- only other
use made of this product In the United
States is in the export trade, so that
a no hoi3 were carried over, either in
first or second hands,' from one year
to anotner. the country s annual tiro
duct ion could) be almost exactly meas
ured by simply adding the quantities
consumed In breweries in an v one
year to the- net exports for the same
period. For instance, the ouantitv
consumed in breweries r in-1902-03 hav
ing been 38,457,278 pounds and the net
exports (total exports minus imports)
havinr been L839.S15 nounds. the lion
erop gathered- In -the fall of 1902, would
nave amounted, under the limitations
anove rererred to, to the sum of these
Quantities, or 40.296.793 Rounds. In or
dinary years the quantity of hops car
ried over from one season, to another
is probably unimportant, but , it is
easily conceivable that, in a product
so mtie pensnaoie as Hops, conditions
mignt easily arise 'which wouk) render
hazardous a reliance. unon brewers"
consumption and net exports for even
an approximate estimate of the coun
try's production.
The" statement (furnished bv the
Office of Internal Revenue covers the
four fiscal Tears from 1899-1900 . to
1903-04. and is as follows:

The Hop 'Crop of England.
The recently jublished estimate hv
the British Board: of Agriculture unon
the 1903 hop crop of England puts the
years total production at 421,068 hun
dredweights (of 112 pounds), against
311,041 hundredweights in 1902. The
crop of 1903 is thus seen to be 110.027
hundredweights' larrer than tha-t of
the previous ypar, an increase of 35
per cent. - Within 'the past nineteen
years the hop crop of England has
ranged between a - maximum cron of
776,144 hundredweights, produced in

some people can ? keep -strong on a very meagre
diet); but it is how much food is absorbed and
. assimilated by the blood and- carried to nourish
every organ of the body. It is, therefore, vi tally
necessary for the body that the stomach be in a

we receive a warning in the pain we call neuralgia..
Rheumatism too, is a blood disease. After years
. of practice and study Dr. Pierce found that one of
his prescriptions, made from the Extracts of several
plants, invariably produced a tonic! effect upon, the
system. It helped the process of absorption of the
healthy elements in. the food and increased the red
corpuscles; of the blood, as well as eliminated the
poisons from the system. This Alterative Extract

a medicine made entirely of botanical extracts
and which" does not contain alcohol. Some blood
medicines, do, and when alcohol touches the little
. ,fed blood corpuscles they begin to shrink and are
reduced to broken fragments and shapeless masses."

. UnBted States Steel arwt pAnnsrlvai.
nia Railroad shares have exmrionriil
significant declines. ' The recent addi
tional drop in steel securities was at
tributed . to lower urlces for products
ana p. consequent shrinkage in profits.
mougn in some quarters it was mu
ni ateid that the decline was stimulated
for: the purpose ef securlntr reTerrea
stock 1 for conversion ; purposes. It
was tthe decline in Pennsylvania stock
one kf the most substantial railroads
on tjie continent, that excited mot
surprise. -- By some It was attributed
to liquidation by numerouholdera for
the purpose of protecting less mar
ketable securities; by others to an at
tack from - hostile interest-s. ; arxl hf
Rome to the timidity of holders ' who
disliked the policy of f expansion
whcSh the company has lately pur
sued. V
Outside of these two' 'features liie(
here.
It Is quife probable in.1t the crisis in
th steel t r,ul has nln parsed
and that improved conditions can be
reasonably expected. Pig Iron la sell-;
ing at nearly $10, . lielow. the recent ;
high level., or, in fact, below present;
cost of production. Prices, of finished
products have al been Kharply re-
duced. and at the new, and more
stable level many contracts which!
were held in suspense will riot be!
placed. P.y extensive eebnemies and
cist reductions the big steel corpora
tion may be able to partially offset
tl? decline in selling priws; but re
trenchment is the order tiS. the day not
only in the steel Industry but in other
directions, and ati immediate" re
covery in the volume of business is
not to be expected..
An . unsatisfactorv feature is the
growing speculation on. the long side j
of cotton in the face of adverse, con
ditions. It may ; be true that the
American crop will not be a particu
larly large one, but the price is al
ready very hignt and manufacturers
find no profit with cotton a II cents.
tven witn. a reduction in the cost of
wages, : made necessary by ? cotton
speculation, it is unlikely -that 'the
demand for the staple will be im
proved so lone as drv eoods buyers
persist In refusing f take hold, as
thev now do. Consumers, bv effectin
a little economy can esily lessen the
demand for cotton goods and so defeat
the excessive rise! n cotton. In anv
event, the present specula tion In coC-
ton Is not a Wholesome feature.
The general business -situation Is
sound. A conservative disposition is
shown everywhere.'ahd this te'an im
portant safeguard. On the Stock Ex
change the outlook ' is ; conflicting.
Conditions are growing intrinsically
better: and. though snella of lloulda-
tion seem imminent, still the market
shows stronger resisting qualities and
more rallying power when occasion
permits ; "
