THE STOCK MARKET Last Hour is Reactionary After a Firm Market Most of
 the Day. REPRESENTATIVES, REPORT Hepburn Bill Creating Considerable Discussion Among
 Brokers.

The market, after short period of uncertainty near the opening, became firm, and continued, with slight re- sessions, to advance up to early in the afternoon.

The market was reactionary in the last hour, with rather abrupt declines in the last tweaty minutes, during which the metal stocks appeared to be pressed for sale, as was the case with Union Pacific. It had the appear ance of traders trying to take profits who had bid stocks up during the morning. The outside public did not participate to any extent in the mar ket yesterday. Late in the day more attention was paid to the Hepburn bill, to tax stock sales 30 cents share, and a great deal of nervousness de- veloped over the possibility of the bill passing. This appeared to be a fac tor in the late setback

From the time that Union Pacific touched 110 1-2 there has been bet ter class of buying in 1t than for weeks. It believed that the Harri- man interests, who bought the stock in the panic from III down to par and then took profit from 125 up to 130, have again started to accumulate stock, realizing that 10 per cent dividend payer, practically guaranteed for another six months, is not likely to stand around current quotations very long.

Most of the large brokerage houses had to answer numerous inquiries on the possible chances of the Hepburn bill in congress. Some of the banks were asked for their opinion by clients who had become disturbed at the conflicting rumors. Although no one pretended to have definite infor- nation on the subject. the feeling pre- vailed that there was nothing what ever for the market to get excited over, as the measure stood practically no chance of pdasage. Seasoned trad CTS, regarded the bill as a freak measure" which appears once in so often and then dies quietly before reaching the stage of serious congress sional discussion.

More rail orders were reported yes terday. Another factor that favored speculation for rise in United States Steel shares was the report that Pres ident Roosevelt would soon issue a message favorable to the corporation. The arrival in London this week of Mr. Morgan is expected to create a broader market in Europe for the shares. It is thought that the price of 30 for the common is not improbable on his advance.

HOP CROP TOO LARGE
Yield of the Beermaking Blossoms
Abroad Greater Than That Of
Last Year.

PORTLAND, Ore, Aug. 3.-lf the
Pacific coast hop growers pick all the hops
their yards produce, they cannot expect
good prices this year i'll the opinion Of
Joseph Harris of Salem.
The less they pick the better for
them," said Mr.. Harris. Too many hops
are growing for the good of the market
In spite of all the talk that is being
heard ot a shortage in this country, the
fact remains that the world is going To
produce a big crop.
IF a big crop is picked it Will mean
that the bears and shorts can get the
goods at their own prices later. Even
now the shorts are offering 1905 Oregon
hops in the east at 90 cents delivered
and they expect to buy them here ut >
cents when they want them.
My estimate Of the Oregon crop. a. it
stands now, is 10000 bales. base the
estimate on the fact that about 5000
acres of the 10000 acres Of hop land in
Oregon are lying idle and allowing five
bales to the acre for the 1000 acres
cultivated will give 10000 bales as the
probable crop that will hc grown.
our latest foreign cables estimate the
English crop at 90, 900 to 100000 CNt
against II4 100 cwt. harvested last year
ana the continental crop at about LOO
coo cWt. as compared with l,oOO,OOC
cwt, IN 1907"

KNOCKS BRYAN SCHEME
ATTORNEY General Bonaparte Decides
That Guarantee of Bank Deposits
Is Illegal.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Aug. B Spc.
cial. In an opinion handed down to the
treasury department, Attorney General
Bonaparte has held that it is beyond the
power of any national bank to become a
party to any deposit guaranteeing
scheme, thereby smashing oklahoma :
system of bank deposit guarantees.
Practically every national bank in the
new state is a party to the guarantee
plan. and many of them have intimat4d
TO the comptroller of currency that in
the event that they are forbidden to par
ticipate in the guarantee of deposits that
they will hand in their federal charters
and organize under the Oklahoma bank
ing laws.
Mr.. Bonaparte. in his opinion. lays
down the broad proposition that n ma
tional bank is an instrument of the
federal government, with no powers
other than those conferred by the ma
tional banking laws. Nowhere can he
find any authority permitting bank to
pledge any part of its resources to guar
antee the debts of any other bank. That
is what he thinks the Oklahoma guaraa-
tee scheme amounts to. by participating
in the scheme he holds Il national bank
enters into an insurance scheme guaral-
teeing third parties against losses that
may arise in transactions not Il part Of

pating bank

son of st. Paul. who lived in st. Paul,
and o. W. Robertson, also of ST. Paul,
were in charge of an investment of
more than S2OoO.OOO in the coal fields

that all of this may be lost. Several
thicagOans are concerned in the invest
ment.
CHICAGO, H.. Aug. Be W. Stees
of Caron. Is. C.. who has extensive in
terests there and at Fernie. is in this
city today and declared that he had re-
ceived information from Winnipeg To
the effect that ninety lumhermen EN-
ployed by the Elk Lumber company mt
Fernic had lost their lives. This com
pany is managed by T.. J. Lynch of ST.
Paul
Mr. Stees said that Peter j Seippel of
Dubuque, Ia, and II. -. Campbell of
Saltwater, Mimi. both of whom are ac-
lively interested in the lumber trade
were at Fernie with their families for
the summer. and he believes from the
printed accounts of the disaster that they
must have lost their lives. Mr.. Stees de-
clares that the Eastern British Columbia
Lumber company with which he Is con
nected has lost its plant and about 90
Oop, 900 feet of lumber at Fernie.

who are the owners of the Elk River
Lumber company at Fernie. received
word from their manager there today
saying that the mills, lumber yards and
other buildings at Fernie We're de-
Stroyed but no loss of life is reported.
Mr.. Lynch said the loss would be be-
tween 100000 and 100000, principally
covered 10y insurance. Their standing
timber, which at first was reported de-
stroyed, escaped with little damage.
"Fortunately." Mr.. Lynch added, I'VE
did not lose a man. and we had many
Americans employed there. Not an EN-
ploye of ours was injured. am ut n
loss to know how Il forest fire could get
SO near Ferne as to burn the town. for
the standing timber there is thin ana
struggling, and there is only one heavily
wooded tract near the town ana this
comprises not more than fifty or sixty
acres. Our mill we considered literally
treproof. 1t was, think. the only one
OF it's kind in the world, being built en-
trcly of concrete and steel.
$50 far as ] know. 10 other Twin city
or northwestern people own mills or
other property in the burned district.
our company owns practcally all OF
what is known as West Fernie. our
annual payroll there is about 100000.
Smaller companies close by us have ag-
gregate payrollS equal to ours and alto
gether about S2,JuOUOO is paid annually
to workingmen at Fernie.
1T looks as though the town were
hoodooed. II has been burned out twice.

which many men lost their lives. Only
Il few days ago twenty-three men We're
killed in another mine of the same com
