THE OHEGONIAtf, THURStTAY, DECEMBER 4, 1902. 13 ' IT PROMISES WELL Good Outlook for Heavy De cember Trade, QUIET AFTER THANKSGIVING Little Competition Among "Wheat Buyers Hopgrowcrs Holding for an Advance Next Year -The Produce aiarlcets. Cereals Wheat, firm but quiet; oats and barley, unchanged; flour, good local and foreign demand. Hops Inactive, with growers holding for better prices. Wool Oregon wool dull In the East. Produce Poultry, lmprovlns; ergs, rtcady. -with large receipts of Eastern; butter, weak; Eastern cheese taking j-lace of Oregon. Groceries Package coffee, higher; sugar, strong and expected to advance. Meats Active and steady; provisions, unchanged, except hams lower; lard, as last quoted. Since Thanksgiving the produce men have had a quiet week of it. All the retailers stocked up well before the holiday, and have not found occasion to buV much since. The dull period, however. Is near an end, and as- soon as the weather becomes rdore favorable. Front street will resume Its usual activity. All "Indications point to an unusually heavy December trade In merchandise as well as produce lines. Gro cery Jobbers report the week under review a lively one. The hop market was quiet, and may remain so for the remainder of the month. Flour has been active, but wheat-buying, ac- ordlng to reports, has been light. WHEAT Exporters declare the market Is dull, and there does not appear to have been much competition between buyers during the week. The market yesterday was quoted eteady to firm, with an advance of d at Liverpool. Eastern and San Francisco markets were easier. For shipping1 purposes club Is quotable here at 71c, and bluestem at 78c The mills have bought quite freely at some advance over exporting prices. No late busi ness has been done In freights. A ship In port has been offering at 15s, with no takers. Tho fleet In the river numbers 32 vessels, with a tonnage of 57.318. as compared with 54.912 at this date last year. 24.1G9 In. 1000, and 29.018 three years ago. The fleet en route numbers 35 ships, aggregating 01,534 tons, against 134, 010 tons this time last year. 03,819 two years ago. and CS.333 In 1S007 Of ihe foreign situation, J. W. Rush, of Lon don, writes to the Northwestern Mller: The wheat trade generally remains quiet, but Is remarkably steady In the face of continued enormous shipments to Europe. The London market. Indeed, shows considerable firmness, which Indicates that the demand for foreign wheat remains very large, for the recent sup plies have been very liberal. The truih evi dently Is that In the southern part of England the home-grown wheat Is so poor In quality that millers can only use a very small propor tion of It In their mixture, rcrhaps only from 25 to 33 p r cent, whereas, last year, when the quality was excellent. 75 per cent was a com mon proportion. Another feature In favor of the wheat mar ket Is that American flour .In London Is jio longer so .relatively cheap compared with wheat as to enable country millers to buy It freely for admixture with that of their home manu facture The conpequence is an increased de mand for foreign wheat, especially American Spring We anticipate big supplies of Mani toba wheat in the Spring months, but mean while the supplies are by no means excessive. On the Continent, however, there aro signs cf an unwieldy accumulation of wheat. Ant werp is so crowded with the foreign article that lighterage rates are rising rapidly. France has sufficient home-grown wheat to meet all lier home requirements, prices of native wheat bflng still 2s Cd5s per quarter below an Im porting level, except at Marseilles, where a certain amount of Russian wheat is always lmirted for manufacture Into flour for export to Turkey and other places. At Odessa the etock o' wheat Is now 1,500,000 quarters, and Is still Increasing, but the export movement from Russia must soon be restricted by the cicsjng oi me Asor ports, which will probably take placj next week, sharp frost being al ready reported. Finally we learn by cable from Argentina that the crop in that country Is now tolerably certain to turn out an extraordinarily abund ant one; the only thing now to be feared Is rain during the harvest, which begins next month. Already there are offers of 01-pound new La Plata wheat for Januarv-February shipment at 2Cs Od per 4S0 c 1. f., to' meet which Russian shippers are offering to sell for distant shipment at 20s Cd up to 29s per 402 pounds c. 1. f.. according to quality. American wheats, on the other hand, are held at a slight premium for distant shipment, which naturally checks tho demand. As I have already pointed out In these let ters, the distribution of wheat In Europe this season has been enormous. The Imports dur ing the last three months probably furnish a record, but tho pace must soon begin to tell upon me markets. The actual distribution luring the last three months may perhaps best seen from tho following tabular statement: EUROPEAN DISTRIBUTION OF WHEAT. -Aug. 1 to Oct. 31 1002, qrs. 1001, qrs. 1000, qrs. European visible (exclude Rus- ria). Aug. 1.... 4.875.000 7.350,000 C.7CO.00O S mos. shipm,ts..lC.355,000 14,335.000 11.290.000 Total 21.230.000 2t.GS5.000 18.050.000 European visible.

In fact. It Is a common oc currence that the first three months of a season should show a larger proportionate supply than the remaining nine months. Last season, for Instance, the weekly average for the first quar ter was, as I show In tho foregoing, 1.100,000 quarters, but the w.cekly average for the whole season was only 075,000 quarters. FLOUR The local demand for flour continues' even, and prices are as last quoted. The In quiry from the Orient is steady. In spite of the gradual upward movement In values, but no new Dusiness is being worked for South Africa. Japan ha3 revised Its Import customs tariff, and In the revision has found It advisable to convert many of the ad valorem duties Into specific duties. The new tariff goes Into effect April l. 1003. The duty on wheat flour Is not clanged, and will remain at about 35e per bar rel, This small duty on flour will have no por T title check on the development of trade. China has recently established flour on the free list, and the activity of tho Pacific Coast mills would Indicate that tho next Government re Port will show a marked Increase In the flour trade of the East, The Modern Miliar, nf st thIk v..--. he milling prospeits on the Pacific Coast are radiant, with an increased wheat produc tion and an increased flour demand and export markets favorably disposed, the Pacific Coast combine of mills is not inopportune. The steady Increase In the ocean transportation Is VLJZfS a factor ,n thls development as any. conditions seem to be In harmony to develop lrum me acsac coast. According to tho n. r o-.i-.i - ri flour for October were 1,045,000 bar- -. """-c Darreis more than during rnlSm-e.,m,ntn lasVear- For the 10 months ended with rwnhn,. .v. imnnw i --w, n.t ui uour were , 14.300.000 barrels; l.GOO.OOO barrels less than . 17 me Perl01 last year. During the 21 im.Vhe exPrts of wheat decreased some 4-000,000 bushels. Millers see In the decreased exports of wheat and the gradually Increasing jiports of flour a sure sign that a,parlty of freight rates btvn rig . i i that Is necessary to enable them to regain the iwi uunng me aemoraiiratlon In wheat fcxport rates last year. HOPS This market Is dull, with e-mw and dealers apart In their views. Brewers are buying, only sparingly, and under the circum stances hppdealers are not willing to do busi ness except at concessions from former figures. The- result Is a deadlock and the present stag nation of business. A few producers are will ing to sell, but the majority are waiting for tetter times, which they believe Vlll come after the first of the year. The sales recently made have ranged from 25&c to 26c. "WOOL Of Oregon wools In Eastern markets, the American Wool and Cotton Reporter of November 27 says: Oregon wools continue -quiet. Manufacturers have supplied themselves temporarily, and are not large buyers of these wools at present. Moderate sales of No. 1 clothing and combing have been put through at 17c in the grease, equivalent to a clean cost of 52c Some nice' Valleys have been taken at 10020c. In Callfornlas, there has been come move ment. Northern wools are well cleaned up. Choice Northern, Mendocino wools, of light shrinkage, are reported to have sold as high as 21T23c in the grease, costing 52955c clean. Some of the very best Mendoclnos are held as high as 57c. clean. A good demand is re ported for defective wools, the poorest selling at 2832c clean, and the free wools at 424ic clean. All. the good free wools are practically Fcoured out there and mixed "with the longer wools. The Reporter quotes Oregon wool at Eastern seaboard markets as follows: Eastern staple, 17010c per pound; Eastern Oregon choice. 1C 17c; do average. 1510c; do heavy. 1213c; Valley Oregon, No. 1, I020c; do No. 2. 10 20c; do No. 3, 18019c; do lambs, lGgi7c. PRODUCE Receipts of poultry fortunately have been light since. Thanksgiving, for there has ben no demand since then to speak of until yesterday, when the movement was a little better. Chickens are again coming in freely. Ducks and geee are selling fairly well, but there Is no Inquiry for turkeys Eggs are steady at quotations. Fresh ranch Oregon eggs are very scarce, but do not ad vance, owing to the presence of Eastern In the market, a car of the latter "having arrived yes terday. Eastern eggs are quotable at 2SV4c In case lots and 27Hc In fire-case lots. Fresh ranch command 30c. Butter Is plentiful, and it Is difficult to main tain quotations. It has been found necessary to bring In cheese from "Wisconsin owing to the scarcity of the Oregon article. The San Francisco trade has taken all the Tillamook cheese available. The fruit market Is well, supplied with trop ical goods, and plenty of pears and apples are on hand. The latter move slowly, and are quoted weak. Some grapes came In from Cali fornia by express yesterday,' about the last of the season. Vegetatbles are plentiful, and prices rule even. Potato shipments to the south are of fair volume. GROCERIES, MEATS. -ETC. Prico changes In the grocery line have been few In the past week. Package coffee advanced 12c following the advance In rail - rates. Sugar Is strong, but no higher. An advance of 10c was reported from New York yesterday, and may affect the Coast markets In a day or two. Mall advices from San Franclirco say of salmon: The present pack of salmon Is passing rap Idly out of second hands, and, all the higher grades are practically cleaned up. There Is still a fair supply of cheaper grades, but with higher grades gone, the trade will be com pelled to take what is left. European buyers have practically exhausted the supplies of sockeyes and red, and are now free purchasers of Puget Soupd cohoes. Home dealers have not purchased freely of sockeyes at the opening price. $1 25, and consequently they have been heavy buyers of Alaska red, which Is the chief cause for the depletion In stocks of that varie ty. Nearly all holders of red are asking $1. Pinks are still fairly plentiful, but stocks will undoubtedly be cleaned up by the end of the season, owing to the scarcity In other varieties. Concerning prices for next year, dealers here look for an opening at about $1 for Alaska reds and $1 20 for sockeyes. Mall advices from Liv erpool Mate that the market continues firm, although, as Is usual at this time of the year, demand Is somewhat restricted, attention being paid by dealers to dried fruits and other goods more In demand at Christmastide. Still, there are indications of a large consumption in the country, and a probable boom as soon as Christmas Is turned. Trade In meats has been active, with prices about as last quoted. Hams have declined He Other provisions are unchanged. PORTLAND MAIIICETS. GrnlnT Flour, Feed, Etc.

NEW YORK, Dec 3. Prices were both above and below last night's level in today's market. The trading, which has been strictly profes sional for several days, was In the hands of the smaller class of traders, and their opera tions showed increasing hesitation and uncer tainty. There were occasional attempts on the part of speculative pools to put up prices, but any considerable advance met realizing sales of a sufficient volume to check the rise. The pressure to sell was not at all urgent, and showed a prompt relaxation at the lower level of prices, where supporting orders also were encountered. The result was a constant shift ing of the course of prices within a narrpw ranre. There were no special features to the trading, although the recent speculative favorites main tained their prominence. They were the local tractions, St. Paul, Louisville, the Pacifies and New York Central and several of the coal ers. The movement In these was pretty con sistent, the whole group moving upward or downward whenever any one stock took the Initiative. An advance In the price of reflnsd sugar failed to help that stock. Renewed weakness In the silver market and a reaction In the London copper market from yesterday's sharp advance were reflected In American Smelting and Amalgamated Copper. The chief repressive Influence on the specula tion was the lightening course of the money market. There was no money offering on call at leBs than 7 per cent at tho opening. The rates subsequently declined to as low as 6 per cent during the active period of tho day, and to below .4 berfore the close. Time money was distinctly firmer, 0 per cent being quoted for all periods up to six months, with a com mission demanded for the shorter "periods which made the rate equivalent to 7 per cent. New York Institutions were entirely out of the market for mercantile paper, and even tho prime grades rose to 6 per cent. An additional engagement of $500,000 In gold for South Amer ica was announced, making the total shipment today $1,000,000. This operation amounts to a diversion of the demand front South America upon the Bank of, England for gold from that institution to New York. Discounts In London consequently cased today. Sterling exchange here held steady, but advanced In Paris, so that exports of gold across the Atlantic are not feasible. Tho trading element showed Its disappoint ment that the" President's message had failed to stimulate speculation, and. with the addi tional discouragement, of the hlsh money rate, there was a progressive decrease In the activ ity of the market. iB-rdSA -Wer3 duI1 and Irregular. --Total sales. $l.iCO,000.

Trading in the wheat pit was greatly hampered by the poor condition of the wires, news from the outside being meager and hard to obtain. On this account traders were Inclined to hold off, and the volume of business was small. A feature of the trading was tho narrowing of the December-May npread, the former at one time selling within 2c of the latter. The opening was strong on higher cables, decreased receipts and the un favorable, weather. Shorts were good buyers rarly, but when the demand from that source had been slackened, there was no other support to the market, and a decline followed. A sud den advance In December helped the May de livery, but heavy realizing toward the end of the session caused a weak close. May opened ?c to -c higher, nt 7C1476c, sold, down to 75?4e, advanced again to 76c, but declined to 75, closing c lower, at 7514 75?ic Corn ruled dull, but prices were higher early on decreased receipts, unfavorable weather throughout the entire corn belt and strong ca bles. There was considerable realizing at the advance, as well as a fair amount of short selling, and under these conditions the market weakened. The late decline In wheat was alFO a bear factor. May closed 14(gc lower, at 43c. Oats were quiet. May closed 14c lower, at 32?ic. Strength prevailed In provisions. Influenced by a decrease In hog receipts and higher prices at the yards. Tho close was strong, with January pork up 17c. .lard 15c higher and ribs 5s higher. The leading futures ranged as fellows: "WHEAT. Opening. Highest. Lowest. Closing.
