Most Spectacular Decline in
Stocks Since 1901
NEW LOW RECORDS ARE MADE
There Seems to Be No Definite Ac-
counting for the Heavy Selling
and Consequent Collapse
In Prices.

New York, May Not since the North
ern Pacific panic of May 9, 1901. has there
been such a spectacular decline in prices
on the Stock Exchange as there was to-
day. Heavy selling almost regardless of
the prices offered began with the opening
of the market and from that time until
near the close the tone generally was
weak. There were rallies from time to
time when the bears bought stocks to
cover the sales they had made at higher
prices or when strong financial interests
sent in buying orders to protect shares
in which they were interested, but each
rally except the last one just before 3
o'clock was followed by a resumption of
the selling movement. The days trading
was extremely heavy, rising to the total
of 2,445,000 shares Nearly 100000 shares
of stock change hands in the first hour of
trading.
Considerable excitement marked the
opening of the exchange. Yesterdays late
decline had prepared the brokers for
lower prices and heavy transactions today
and the attendance on the floor was very
large. It is known that the commission
houses had heavy orders to dispose of
securities as early as possible and also
that there were forced sales to be made
where customers carrying stocks on mar
gin had failed to respond to calls for
more funds.

New Low Records.

Within a few minutes after the traeins
began many stocks touched new low
records for the year. There was mucn
confusion as 1t seemed that every broker
had orders to sell and was anxious to
get rid of his stocks without a moments
DELAY. At first the interest centered in
the half dozen stocks which have been
the market leaders for some time past.
Anaconda, which closed last night at 24s
opened at 2S4 and Immediately sold at
2s2, a loss of IA points. Northern Pacifc,
which closed yesterday at 100. opened at
1SS and on a running sale sold at loo'
1856 then back to 1856 ana 1877. Reading
first sale was only Is below yesterday AT
117sa. but selling soon broke out In tnis
stock, forcing the price down to llS1a on
900 shares Amalgamated copper open
ed at 9924 to 80, as compared with loos4
at the close yesterday and Union Pacinc
which ended yesterday at 142% hrst ap-
peared today at 142, 14l% and l4o.
Anaconda was the subject OF much
comment. Todays opening price of 2S2
was 6S points below the high price OF
the year,( which was made on February
10. Twelve months ago the stock soio
as low at 100la.

Signs of improvement.

There was another rally at l2:1S, some
stocks showing signs of little improve
ment. This rally was followed by drive
against Reading, which carried II down 70
10 AFTER o'clock 1t appeared that
there was no further liquidation in sight
and prices rallied to the best of the
day.
There was no definite news to account
for the heavy selling and consequent col
lapse in prices. Wall street hears many
rumors of bear pools formed to depress
prices of alleged financial difficulties and
alleged impairment of confidence of values
in some of the securities listed on the
exchange, but nothing developed TO give
substance to any of these reports. CAN
money opened at s per cent and continued
tight during the morning. At / O'Clock
1t had jumped to IL per cent. There was
little demand, however, and 1t soon slipped
back to per cent and the last loan was
at per cent.

a fair sized rally on covering by shorts
which carried st. Paul above yesterday

was very irregular and soon aiter II

HOP CONDITIONS To BE
OFFICIALLY REPORTED
Department of the
Government Will Issue
Bulletins.

Last year W. W. Stock berger, expert
ON horticulture in the agricultural de-
partment of the United States govern
ment at Washington. ID. c., visited
the Pacific coast. looking up the hop
industry. As result of this visit it
was decided to gather statistics of the
hop industry to form basis for the
sending ont Of statistical information
on the growing of hops, the same as is
done with reference to the other staple
crops Of the country.
Mr.. Stockberger will be over the hop
districts again this year and in the
meantime he has made arrangements
with Chas. S. Livesley of this city,
says the Salem Statesman, to gather
what information he can, by mail,
in order to make start in the direc-
tion of this work.
Accordingly, the following letter is
being sent out to all the hop growers
of Oregon, by Mr.. Livesley:
Dear Sir: am just in receipt Of
letter from the United States de-
psrtment of agriculture in Washington.
D c., requesting me to secure an ac-
ourate list Of all the hop growers, to-
gether with acreage in the state of
Oregon. This information is desired
by the department in order to enable
it to issue frequent reports to growers
concerning the condition Of the hop
crop throughout the United States,
and furnish report on the total pro-
duction. Foreign governments issue
similar reports. and both combined
will result in our growers securing
official information on the subject.
Please fill out the enclosed postal card
and be particular that the questions
are fully answered in detail.
"As large new acreage has beer
set out during the past few years, sn6
growers names being unfamiliar tC

their names and postoffice address
so that can send each one card t,
be filed out.
please ask your neighbors if the.

me, if not l will send them one on re
ceipt of request"
With each letter there is a returi
postal card, worded as follows

Number of acres in hops. ...........
Number of bales grown in 1905. ....

EnrichinS the Soil.

Repeated experiment has proved
that the practice Of applying large
quantities OF manure to the acre on a
limited space, making it necessary to
leave much of the land unmanured,
does not pay. Many farmers never
apply less than 20 tons of stable ma
nure to the acre. saying that they
prefer to do we'll what they do and let
the remainder of the land take its
chances. Twenty tons of manure on
one acre, plowed under for Spring
crop, makes the soil richer for years
no doubt about that-but it will not
improve the productive power of a
farm nearly so much as the same
amount Of manure used as q top dres.
sing ON three acres, provided clover is
grown with this supply Of plant food
1t is poor farming to keep up few
acres near the barn with the entire
supply Of stable fertilizer and let thin
fields fail to make profitable crops.
Manural crops are the chief depend
ence ON majority Of farms, or should
be, and enough farm manure should
be used to assist thin soil wherever
found, so that all fields may increase
their supply of vegetable matter and
be permanently improved, and then
any additional supply can be safely
used to enrich the pet field from
which one wants banner crop. -Ag-
