THE "MORNING OREGONIAN, THURSDAY, JANUARY 8, 1903. 15- PROMISE OF SPRING Indications Point to a Heavy Jobbing Trade.

Merchandise Sisal, lower; nails are higher. Meat-Hogs, cattle and sheep, high er; provisions, unchanged; lard, . un changed. The first week of the new year has boon an ective one In Jobbing circles, and If such Indi cations count for anything. It gives promise of heavy trade In a month that Is usually one of the poorest of the year. This Is particularly the case In the wholesale grocery line. Men on the road have sent In orders that have sur prised their employers. All reports from the In terior are that the Spring demand Is opening up earlier and stronger than was expected. In produce, business has been better than was looked for. The Inquiry from the city Is good, and orders are beginning to come in from the country. The hop market has also awakened with the new year, and although prices nave not advanced, the firm tone of values leads to tho belief that better quotations will soon be the rule. The wheat market has not shared In the general activity, but the demand for flour and other mlllstuffs Is strong. WHEAT Exporters, being without pressing wants, are not in tho market very strongly at the moment, and as growers aro not forcing their offers, business is dragging. The inactiv ity Is due largely to the lack of demand from Europe. Quotations show little change from last week, the export value of club wheat being given as 70c and bluestem worth about SOc for chipping purposes. Some small lota, however, are known to have changed hands In the week at better figures than the exporters give. The grain fleet In port Is increasing with numerous arrivals of cargo ships. Very few of the ves sels In the river are disengaged. The tonnage on band available for grain loading numbers 86 ships, of an aggregate registered tonnage of G7.600. There are 27 vessels of 51,003 tons listed to arrive. "Writing of the grain situation In the markets of Europe, J. W. Rush, of London, 6ays: There is a pause in the wheat markets Just now. The recent rather decided rise in Amer ican Spring wheat In London has brought out larger supplies, and buyers aro resting on their oars The sudden change to much milder weather also may have something to do with nr quiet Scellnz. which, curiously enough. Is showing itself Just at the time when supplies are falling oft. During the last two weeks, In fact, the world's shipments have dropped to 775,000 quarters a week, against an average weekly shipment in the previous four months of 1.225.000 quarters. Looking at the wheat question broadly, it strikes one that the shipments during the next two months are likely to be very moderate, but In view of the large stocks in Manitoba and in South Russia, and with the probability of lib eral supplies from Argentina after February 1, there can be little doubt that the subsequent shipments will be large. It must not be lost sight of, as I pointed out last week, that the world's wheat production this year Is very large, the effects of which are likely to be greater in the second half of the season than In the first half. The Argentine crop begins to assume consid erable importance. The harvest has begun In many parts of the country, and some extra ordinary yields on trial threshings are reported. The weather has been broken during the last week, according to cabled reports, but today the news Is that the outlook Is excellent, and there can oe little doubt. If the weather re mains favorable, that the crop will be a rec ord one, with a surplus of from 2,000,000 to 2,500.000 tons. Business has been done within the last few days In new La Plata wheat for January-February shipment, 01 pounds per bushel guaran teed, at 2Ss 3d per 480 pounds c. L ., while for February-March shipment "faq" wheat Is offered at 27s. For similar shipments. South Russian wheats are offered freely at 27s Gd 29s Cd, according to quality. These, then, are the prices with which American sellers have to compete, and by comparison make the present price of the American article seem rather high. The future demand for wheat for Germany Is not likely to be very large. Judging from tho recent estimates of the crops in that country. Which are as follows: "Wheat, Rye. . Potatoes, hushels. bushels. tons. 3002.. . ...160.000,000 335,000,000 42,000,000 1001 108,000.000 298.000.000 48.087,000 1900 ....157,000,000 314,000,000 40,585,000 From August 1 to November 15. Germany Im ported, net, of wheat. 24.12O.000 bushels, against 22,100,000 bushels In the corresponding penoo. jast year, xne poor quality of this year's home-grown wheat in Germany led to larger purchases of foreign wheat than had been expected, which also has been the case In England. FLOUR AND FEED There Is a good steady movement In the flour market, both from do mestic and foreign Inquiry The Oriental de mand holds Its own and promises to improve before long. The China steamer now in port Will carry out something over 3000 tons. A car go of flour Is being worked for Liverpool, tho first business of this kind In a year. All kinds of mlllstuffs are in' good request and as supplies are ample, prices rule even. The same may be said of the market for oats and barley. Consul-General King, at Bangkok, writing of tho need of an enterprising American house at the Siamese capital, cays: Such a house should bo able to handle the entire Import of American flour. This now amounts to anywhere between 125.000 and 175, 000 sacks per year, and tho demand Is constant ly Increasing. And there Is no reason why the very large Interests in tinned goods should not. If wisely handled, result to the greater beneflt of both the producers at homo and the traders In this market. The house could also handle clocks, bicycles, sewing machines, lamps and other popular lines. HOPS As was expected, the hop market re vlved'with the turn of the year. Local dealers are fairly well supplied with Eastern orders and a number of transactions have been closed during tho week. Fall values were realized In the latest sales. The market continues firm In sympathy with the tone ln the East and abroad, and the feeling Is almost general hero that an advance Is Imminent Some dealers, however, believe that the rise will not come until the Spring la well advanced. Tho New Tork Journal of Commerce of De cember 31 said: According to telegraphic advices received from the Coast there was some buying for the account of a prominent .dealer who has been Identified with the bear side of the market throughout the season. Purchases reported for this account were 250 bales medium Ore sons at 24c to growers, and bids -were reported made of 25c ditto for choice Oregons. It was also ro- ponuu. irom iinomia tnat this same buyer was bidding 23&c for Sacramentos and 23Vc for Yolos. Reports from up the state reported light offerings and prices flrmlv mlntir, Locally, the spot market continued . dull, and while most dealers held for full prices reflect ing tho steadiness of the primal market, occa sional sales of small lots were reported made at slight concessions. Cable advices from Ger many reported a Arm market, prices on Monday advancing 5 marks, and are now reported at the high point of the season. Mall advices Just at hand from Nuremberg, Germany, explain that the strength of the market has been due to tho demand running in excess of the re ceipts. Arrivals at Nuremberg from December 1 to December IS were 2SS0 bales, and ship ments during the same period 4000 bales. The stock of hops ln Nuremberg on December 1 was 12,000 bales, but they have since been reduced materially. COUNTRY PRODUCE The mild, open weather that has been prevailing of late Is re sponsible for a large increase In the stock of eggs on Front street and a corresponding weak ening of market conditions. Fresh ranch Ore gon eggs declined to 32&C. and later went to 30c. Eastern eggs are also plentiful, and are selling from 22c to 26c. The poultry market is ln good shape. There Is a steady demand for chickens and coops clean up almost as fast as they come in. The Inquiry for ducks and geese Is also good, and will Improve as the Chinese New Tear ap proaches. The butter market is bettor than It was a few weeks ago. Receipts arc fairly good, but a healthier Inquiry enables dealers and commis sion mqn to clean up arrivals more promptly. Quotations are as last given. FRUITS AND VEGETABLES In the fruit market, trade now Is confined principally to apples and tropical and semi-tropical products. Of apples there Is nothing new to be said. Stocks are too large to produce a healthy con dition of things, and there Is no prospect of relief ln the near future. Citrus fruits ar-eJ moving well at steady quotations. Three car loads of oranges and two of bananas arrived during the week. Receipts, while .apparently large, arc readily absorbed by tho city and country demand. It is an off Benson for green produce, crate goods from California filling the list of avail able supplies. Before the week is closed three carloads of cabbage, cauliflower and celery will have reached Portland from Southern Califor nia. A small quantity of small truck arrives occasionally. Potatoes continue an unsatisfactory article of trade. There are too many on hand and too many ln the country. The market Is weak under the slow movement, but cannot decline much more, as the average farmer declines to go below CO cents a sack, preferring to leavo the tubcra ln the ground for his hogs to root out. The onion market Is not much better than that for potatoes. Local stocks are large and the shipping demand Is light. GROCERIES.- MEATS, ETC There have been no changes of importance ln the whole sale grocery list since New Year's. Merchan dise lines have also ruled generally steady, ex cept sisal rope, which Is down c and nails, which have advanced 10c Live and dressed meats of all kinds are firm, with several advances recorded. This Is due to scarcity, which is one of the usual condi tions at this time of year. Smoked and dry salt meats and lard are unchanged. PORTLAND MARKETS. Grain, i'loar, Peed. Etc.

PHOENIX, Ariz.,. Jan. 7. F. 1L Newell, chief hydrographer of the Geological Sur vey, has returned after an Inspection of the surveys being made along the Colorado River, -with a view tjo future storage and Irrigation enterprises. Ho visited the camps of the topographical surveyors in this vaJloy, and had a conference with the officials in charge of Tonto Basin storage enterprise. He left here today for Denver, thence to Washington. None Drowned ln Lisbon. LISBON, Jan. 7. The reports sent out froin here that reservoirs in this city had hurst, that many persons had been drowned and that the people were panic stricken Is untrue. As a matter of fact, a bursting waterplpe flooded kone shop, which was damaged to the extent of $150. No ono was Injured. t REACTION IN THE STOCKS IIEAVY OFFERIXGS CAIIRY PRICES TO A LOWER LEVEL. Dardanelles Situation Reflected ln Scllins of International Stock for London Account. NEW YORK. Jan. 7. The stock market to day had a reaction, which had been looked for for many days by the profe'slonal element. The ground of the expectation was that since the middle of December fully half of the previous violent decline, which had extended Irregularly over six weeks, had been recovered.- This re covery had been practically uninterrupted, which Is unusual ln such a violent movement. There was no material change ln conditions affecting values since yesterday, when the market was buoyant and animated up to the very close, but the heavy buying which has been going on meant a large Increase in the number of holdings waiting to take profits. The offerings of this class overcame the mar ket today and carried prices to a lower level. The disturbance in foreign sentiment caused by the Dardanelles protest of Great Britain was reflected In International stocks, at the opening. The selling for London account was heavy. The estimates of Its value vary con siderably, some of them running as high as 50.000 shares. This first pressure upon the market was strongly resisted and pretty general recoveries were effected within a few minutes, but realizing sales continued large at the rally, and the market gave way again. Some efforts were made to revive' the market by bidding up Individual stocks, but realizing was renewed on all advances, and the closing was weak at about the lowest. A late break ln St. Paul to below 1S1 was an effective Influential senti ment. In the early dealings support was conspicuous ln some of the Gould stocks. Including Man hattan, and ln Rock Island. The statement of the yearly net earnings of United States Steel Induced some large buying of the stock, but It suffered equally with others In the realizing movement. The declaration In Governor Odell's message criticising the franchise tax had sorao favorable effect on the stocks of corporations affected. The advance ln Sugar was accom panied by rumors of proposed dividend In creases, and this stock was supported to help sustain the rest of the market. The proposi tion for practically doubling the stock of tho Pennsylvania Railroad depressed that security. Thero were wide movements ln some of the less active stocks. Including gains of 3 IS each In Hocking Valley and Chicago Great Western preferred, and of 15 ln Wells-Fargo. The sell ing was attributed In some quarters to a shift ing of loans, but the call loan rate did not get as high as 0 per cent at any time, and Increas ing liberality was shown by lenders ln the mat ter of collateral. The money, market continued to gain from the Subtreasufj. which had an other payment of $250,000 today by transfer from San Francisco. The downward course of discounts ln London was arrested, and sterling exchange ratce here were slightly higher, the demand being augmented by large selling of stocks for LondonaccounL London money "sup plies are much reduced by repayments to the Bank of England. The reaction in the copper market hurt Amalgamated Copper. The bond market became Irregular in sym pathy with stocks. Total sales, par value, $3,C75.000. Government bonds were all un changed on the last call. .New York Stock market . 1 1 STOCKS. 3 & Jj li 2 3 Atchuion do pfd Baltimore & Ohio do pfd Canadian Pacific Canada Southern Chesapeake & Ohio....

CHICAGO, Jan. 7. Wheat ruled rather quiet, and an easier feeling was manifested shortly after ,the opening. Influenced by favorable weather and reports of good harvesting weath er ln Argentina. The buying of about 700,000 bushels by a prominent long brought about a rally; and was the cause of considerable cov ering by shorts. Toward the close a ' strong feeling developed on reports of 300.000 bushels of cash wheat being loaded at St. Louis for shipment, with 230.000 bushels more ordered out of the elevators, and the market held well the remainder of the session. A small export busi ness and a light cash demand were depressing factors. May opened unchanged to a shade lower, at 75c.to 7575i$c and ranged be tween iic nnd 75c, closing c higher, at 75H75c Corn was rather quiet, and aside from the action of the January option, which was liqui dated quite freely early ln the day, there was little of Interest ln the trading. January closed unchanged at 47c May closed a shade higher, at 43c Oata were fairly active, and tho feeling was somewhat firmer. The close was firm, with May c higher, at 31c. Provisions were strong at the start on lighter receipts of hogs and higher prices nt the yards, and. with the exception of a little decline early ln the day, due to liquidation, closed strong.
