THE MOENItfG OREGOKTAN, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 1902. 13 CANNED GOODS UP Flurry in tHe Corn and To mato Markets. PRICES HIGHER ON SHORTAGE Decreased Output in. Slalne, New YorZc and California Good Busl neia Anticipated In Oregon Fruit Demand for Oats. ' The canned poods trade Is greatly excited by the condition In the Bast In com and tomatoes. Jobbers have -withdrawn prices for next month. delivery and advanced prices for futures ?1 per dozen. That quotations will go still higher is Indicated by the Crop news at handl The California tomato crop Is short and the Eastern sugar corn crop Is In a bad way. The corn pack In Maine and New York will fall far below expectations. In Maine, the output of the canneries will not be 50 per cent of last year's, the growth of the crop having been late, owing to the unsatisfactory season. If frost should come before It Is harvested, there will be & further decrease, which may bring the" output down to 25 per cent of normal. The Portland trade has received private notification from the East not to be surprised If their or ders are only partially filled. Oregon packers will not be much affected T&y the flurry In Eastern markets. Very few tomatoes are put up here, and only a little corn at Ashland. Other lines are not expected to advance sympathetically. The output of Oregon canned fruit this year "will be 30.000 cases Bhort. The pack of the state Is estimated as follows: Cases. Oregon Packing Co 45.000 Portland Canning Co 5,000 Columbia Canning Co 2,000 Others 8,000 Total 55,000 Last year Oregon packed 85,000 cases of fruit, the Oregon Company alone putting up 73,000 cases. The shortage this year is due to the" lighter crop and higher prices asked' for green fruit. The berry crop was short ened by the late weapon, cherries were Injured by rain, and the yield of pears was much be low the average. In view of the light pro duction, prices were, of course, high and at the beginning of the season prohibitive. More cherries were packed in 1901 than this year, though cherries and pears will be the two largest items in the 1002 output. Other prin cipal fruits being canned are peaches, apricots, and plums. As an Indication of the shortage In the pack it may be said that the Oregon Packing Company Is not working to more than B0 ser cent of Its capacity. Portland prices are not particularly affected by conditions In Eastern markets. Pacific Coasi fruit, because of its superior quality, enters a field and enjoys a demand of its own. Because of the high grade of "Western fruit, many lines packed here do not enter Into com petition with the Eastern product, and the same holds good with California fruit. A con tinued export Is made by packers in Oregon to cut out the low grades of fruit, and the difference In price between the grades is grow ing year by year. It ,1s needless to say that there Is a ready market for Oregon fruit In the East. There is also a growing demand in Europe, the English and Continental markets being supplied through New Tork exporters. Oregon canned fruit also finds Its way to South Africa, being shipped from Portland direct by sailing vessel. The strength of the canned "ealmon -market was fully explained in these columns Friday. Other lines of canned goods are generally steady, unless It be th canned . meat trade, of which the agent of a leading Eastern packer said: "The Summer resort trade has been so poor this season that we have not done much, and the little we have done we wish we had not. As an Illustration: One hotel had 40 guests and 400 waiters. Now the Summer re sorts are closed and their proprietors are the guests and we and the grocery houses that supplied them are the waiters. The grocers have had a bad Summer trade as well as the packers, though they had a big trade up to August. Why the Armours and Llbby reduced the prices of corned "beef twice last month no one seems to know. They claimed It was done In anticipation of a better eupply of grass-fed cattle; but I think It waB to force trade, and they ha- been fooled in both, as trade was scared off Instead, fearing a further decline, and the cattle'dld not come In." PORTLAND MARKETS. Grain. Flour. Feed. Etc. The Portland wheat market was quiet, with come business doing in club at C2c Exporters declare this Is too high and prefer to rest on their oars until there Is some Improvement abroad. Foreign markets were dull and un changed, and News York and Chicago higher. OatB are stiff at the prevailing quotation, the Government asking for 3000 tons here for Philippine shipment. The withdrawal of this amount from the Portland market, dealers be lieve, will bring about an advance In the near future.

Heavy Trading: in Stocks at New York on Belief That Surplus Re serve Has Been Replenished. NEW YORK. ISept. 19. If tomorrow's bank statement does not make a strong lowing, speculators who bought stocks today will ne disappointed. The buying was based on the cxpectatlonVthat the surplus reserve " of the banks has been replenished as a result Of the week's events. The publication of the usual preliminary estimates of the cash movements of the week somewhat chilled tfie hope of a good bank statement, as a decrease In -cosh reserves of more than $3,000,000 was Indicated. Of this amount, the Subtreasury has absorbed some $2,600,000. Including deposits of currency for telegraphic transfer to the Interior. The regular movement by express on routine bank ing operations makes up the rest, but It is not improbable that there have been special move ments of money not Included In these routine operations. The shipment of several million dollars from Chicago, reported as made last Saturday, might figure as such a transaction, and reports have come from other Interior cen ters of various amounts shipped to New York to take advantage of the prevailing high rates for call loans. It Is never possible to forecast accurately the changes In the loan Item, but it is confidently believed In the street that there has been a large contraction of lon ac counts during the week. Payment of subscrip tions on the Oregon Short Line bond issue on Monday wotild result In the same contraction. The engagements of gold during the week would also figure as a transfer of loans from the local banks to foreigners. The stock market has not reflected any heavy llquldatlon during the week. The steadiness of the call loan money market today in Xace of the demand for loans to carry over until Mon day was a strong indication that the banks are strengthened. The leader of the market today was St. Paul, which "was 5 points over last night at one time, with a sympathetic effect on the wholo list. The movement was unexplained, but the early tendency of Mis souri Pactflc to keep In company revived rumors of an alliance between the two systems. There was a set-back In Missouri Pacific when the July statement of earnings appeared, showing a decrease In net of $263,168. The stock lost most of Its gain, and other Southwestems turned rather heavy In sympathy. The fact that a ,4 per cent dividend Is In cluded In the price of St. Paul was given as an argument for Its strength, and the old com parison with the price paid for Burlington, which was 200, was also revived. The con tinued rise above 200 of Rock Island furnished an additional parallel. The latter, stock was conspicuous for the number of cash trans actions, as the right of exchange In new seeur Itles expires tomorrow and there Is no stock delivery on the exchange on Saturday. These contracts for the new securities were active and strong on the curb. The reversal by the New Jersey court of errors and appeals of the vice-chancellor's de cision against the stock conversion and bond Issue .plan of the United States Steel Corpora tion caused a spurt in its securities. The Pennsylvania group was strong, and Canadian Paclflo showed its effect of continued large earnings. The upward movement In a number of minor Industrials was due to special causes. Considerable realizing was accomplished on the advances and the market- closed Irregular and below the best. The bond market was active and strong, espe cially for the Consolidated Tobacco 4s. Total sales, $3,670,000. United States registered 2s, the 3s, the new 4s and 6s advanced U. and the old 4s per cent on the last call. Closing Stock Quotations. STOCKS. n go London "Wool Sales. LONDON. Sept. 19. The offerings at the wool auction sales today numbered 12.76S bales. Competition was spirited at generally flrni prices. Fine grades showed a slightly harder tendency.

With practically no supplies of gold available, the American demands for the metal were scarcely put to the test, but It Is the Im pression In good quarters that whatever New i'ork may secure In " .the open market, care will likely be taken to avoid any large with drawals from the Bank of England, which might Inconveniently raise money rates In London."

Dr. Frederick Cooke, of Brooklyn, who -wus with Lieu tenant Peary on one of his Arctic trips, and with the Belglca expedition to the South Pole as chief surgeon, expressed the opinion that Peary's latest endeavor was by no means a failure, and that the explorer had added "material to annals of science which will be found Invaluable, In fact more valuable than the actual dis covery of the Dole itself." "All this talk about the terrible dan cers to be met before renohlno- tVi nni Is sheer rot," continued Dr. Cooke. "A man, all things taken Unto account. Is Just as safe on the Arctic ice fields as he is m ;ew lone There are no fever germs there, there are no contagious dis eases, no miasmatic swamps, no sewer gas, no decaying vegetables, no rotting rags. Everything Is on Ice. There Is no danger in traversing the Ice fields, nor fcom the cold, which Is not as severe as the cut of the saline blasts on the Atlan tic seacoasts." "It Is the food question," he added, "that is the cul de sac that closes up the way to the pole. When this problem Is solved, reaching the pole will. In my opinion, be quite a simple undertaking" Hop Crop Gathered In Polk County. DALLAS. Or.. Sept. 19. (Special.) Hop picking Is nearly over In this vicinity, as only two yards yet remain unfinished.

Bradstrcefs tomor row will say: Jobbing distribution continues acuve ana re tail nusiniut Is lmorovlntr. Now that the corn crop is practically made and the only possible changes are those of quality, tne aispoamou to hook Prill and Winter orders Is unrestricted at the West and Northwest. At the South, the tone of trade reports Is notably cheerful, large ly owing to higher cotton. Collections are as & whole mod. and the consensus of reports as to this and as to money conditions points to good supplies of the circulating medium in the country at large. Whatever stringency is noted, that Is usual at this time. Is limited largely to the employment of money in specu lation. The claim Is made that plenty of money In the Interior, and Indeed at all cen ters, for Ordinary purposes Is available. The selling position seems to be the strong est side of the price situation, except possibly In the cereals and agricultural products gen erally. Even here the flne financial position o" farmers enables them to market their prod ucts slowly, and no accumulation of moment is recorded, except In cattle receipts, which this week surpassed all records. Notable strength Is exhibited in manufactured goods. Woolen goods advanced slightly, and the mills are actively employed. The coal situation deserves notice. The delay In the settlement of the strike throws increased pressure on the bituminous, product, and prices for that article are now at least one-quarter higher than the low point before the strike began. Anthracite production is slowly Increasing as more miners go to work, but the necessities of some retail buyers made for fancy prices for what Is left. A long season at Mil time will be necessary to restore stocks of anthracite to old dimensions. Hides have eased In price. Leather Is as strong as ever. Lumber Is active and the strength of prices Is notable. There has been a slight easing of the car famine as to coal and coke supplies, and the furnace situation In the valleys Is, therefore, bettered, but the Eastern mills are complain ing of delayed supplies.

CHICAGO GRAIN MARKETS. TJHllish News in Wheat Pit Sent Up September Prices. CHICAGO, Sept. 19. At the outset, wheat was subjected to pressure. Cables were weak, the Russian crop was estimated the largest In ten years, the weather was favorable and Northwest receipts were Improved. Local traders at onco turned bearing, and an early weak corn market could give no supporting In fluence. What little rain there was reported, which Interfered. with threshing and the spring movement, was favorable to winter plowing. Speedily Influences more potent than foreign bearish advices were felt. Northwestern houses began buying In rapidly. Minneapolis reported 123 cam diverted from that market to the country milling points In one day. Shorts were buyers of December as prices be gan to advance, and then came a brisk turn in September options. Corn had bull factors of its own and in turn helped wheat.

Dun & Co.'s weekly review of trade tomorrow will say: Domestic trade continues favorable, higher rates for money having thus far failed to check Industrial operations or unsettled con fidence. The stringency Is considered of only temporary Importance to speculators, while large Imports cf gold promise relief. Crops are making encouraging progress, despite some Injury from frost. Fall distribution of mer chandise has begun unusually early, while the volumo of orders already placed Indicates much the heaviest aggregate on record. At the South and West, conditions are specially favorable. Shipping departments are -working vigorously and payments are promptly made. Traffic congestion causes complaint, yet rail way earnings thus far available far Septem ber show a gain of 4.9 per cent over lost year, and 15.7 per cent over 1900. Official returns of foreign commerce during August show the improvement In exports over the last preceding months that was Indicated by the- weekly movement of merchandise and staples, and Imports far surpassed the corre sponding month In preceding years.
