THE JXORNING OREGrONIAN, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 24, 1903. 15 WHEAT AND HOPS Features of Produce Markets in Past Week. GOOD TRADE IN LATE FRUITS Leading: Staple in- Grocery List Have Hardening Tendency Brenlc in Poultry Local Products and Jobbing: Quotations. The features In produce the past -week have tn the opening of the hop market and the break In "wheat. Hops have opened at a higher price than for many years past, and all Indica tions point to a good season from a growers' Etandpolnu The decline in wheat followed the curtailment of the milling demand and slumps In Eastern and foreign markets. Oats are weak under heavy offerlne, and barley Is scarce and firm. A good -week's business was done In the fruit and vegetable markets, with the usual fluctuations in prices. Poultry Is coming in too liberally for local requirements, and egg receipts equal the demand. There Is no feature in the butter market. All Important staples In the grocery list ehow a hardening tendency. Meats have not changed materially Jn the week. WHEAT Marked weakness Is the leading feature of the wheat market, and as the de cline In prices has checked selling, trado is al most at a standstill. In the past week the price has dropped 4c, and it is 7c lower than It was at the opening of the season. AH markets are following Chicago, where the Influence of weather reports has caused a decided slump. Liverpool, which usually makes quotations for the world, habeen affected by the declines In this country, and will doubtless record a drop today as a result of the fall of about l4c at Chicago yesterday. In view of the situation, local dealers yesterday morning put their prices lc lower, .quoting club at 73c and bluestem at 77c The consequence was a practical cessa tion of selling. A little business had iecn dono earlier In the week it the Palouso country, but the farmers withdrew from the market when the price went down. Vaues are now on an export basis, and if shippers could only get wheat, there would be a heavy movement. Nearly all the millers have filled their requirements and the big mills have withdrawn from the market. They will, of course, continue to buy wheat during the sea son, but It will be at export prices. No one in the trade looks for an advance soon, and as the milling Interests are eliminated as a factor. It is evident that growers must meet shippers' views, or no business .will result. Willie conditions In America are not favorable for better prices, the foreign situation is also gloomy, improved crop reports tending to de press the market. In this connection, J. W. Rush, of London, writes to the Northwestern Miller or tho 16th Inst.: The weather has at length changed for tha better, and farmers are getting their wheat In with all possible dispatch. It Is rather sur prising to hear from many parts of tho country that the damage done is by no means serious; In fact, It is stated in some reports that the crop Is yielding very well. As a general rule, however. It may be expected that there has been more damage done than Is yet apparent, and It Is not easy to suppose that the average yield per acre for tho whole country will ex ceed 23 bushels. This would give us a total crop of only 45.000,000 bushels, the acreage having declined to 1.C20.G0O. against 1.770,950 acres last year. I estimate, therefore, that our requirements from abroad may reach 20S.0O0, 000 bushels, or 20,000,000 quarters, there being no reason to expect any reduction from last year's rate of consumption, as potatoes are likely to remain relatively high In price, and meat shows no signs of giving way in value. The wheat crop of the United Kingdom, with the net imports yearly since 1S93, compare "as follows: Tlcld per acre.

It is now. In fact, said by more than one authority that the crop will largely exceed last year's yield, and it is a fact that the markets In France adopt this view, for there has been a sharp decline during the last few 'days, and there are now no signs of any demand for for- Ielgn wheat for France. It does not, of course, follow from this that the crop Is enough for I the yearly consumption of France; if it be, as was suggested by the Minister of Agriculture recently. 40,000.000 quarters, this would sufllco I for 11 months' consumption, so that tho period I when imports may be required might bo ad journed for this period. Meanwhile the market feeling generally is I affected by this weakness ot prices In France, added to the fear that the advent of new wheat on the English country markets may also tend to lower prices, temporarily at any rate. Thus It 1b that I have lo report a very dull condition of affairs and a very hesitating spirit in the I trade. FLOUR. FEED. ETC. The local flour mar- Iket Is active and quotations are firmly main tained. In the face of a declining wheat mur- jket. Thi3 is because the flour now being sola I Is made from old wheat, which Is becoming a scarce article. Grocers and bakers are still I stocking up on old flour. There Is no change lln the export situation. If anything, the de- mand from the Orient Is quieter, though there lis a heavier movement on old contracts. About I the same thing applies to other foreign quar ters. Millfeeds have undergone no change this Iweek. Oats are weaker under heavy offerings. land grays are quoted lower. Very little barley as coming to hand, and the scarcity would Justify an advance, but for the easiness of Dats. Good hay Is none too plentiful, and quotations are stiffly maintained. HOPS The hop market has opened most rat- llsfactorlly to growers. Dealers are offering 3024c, but not much business has resulted b-et. Most growers have set their price at 25c, tnd no doubt some heavy selling will be done wbtn the market reaches that figure. The per centage of utrlctly choice hops Is not large. ind as nearly all the dealers .are after them. Ihe holders, of such hops clearly have tho situa tion In their own hands. Taken altogether, tne ondltlon of the crop, which is now being saled, is much better than was expected earlier in the season. So far but few sales have been iade. and those were of moldy hops. The tarrest was a 100-bale lot near Sllvorton. which wrought 22'. Several 50 and 75-bale lots lave been sold at about the same figure. Sam ples will begin reaching the English trade In LbouWa week, and then some Inkling of the foreign deirand for the Oregon article will be lad. Dealers estimate the Orocon cron at 7fi- to 80.000 bales. WOOL The American Wool and Cotton Re- lorter of the 17th Inst, said of the Boston larket: Q res-oa wools are showing some activity, with fair aales at 15c for clothing and 1T17H r staple wools. The wool market as a whole continues quiet, although here and there may be discerned evi dences of an improved Inquiry. The Tolume of business actually done, however, shows no In crease. As far as the finer trades of wool are concerned. It is still largely a waiting game. There Is no snap to the demand, but, on the other hand, holders are not unduly forcing wool, although It is possible for cash custom ers to secure slightly better terms on soma grades than thay could have done V few weeks ago, and hero and therd can be found a house which Is a little more disposed to press sales. This applies more to wool of the finemedium order than to other grades. The Reporter quotes Oregon wool at Eastern seaboard markets as follows: Eastern staple, 17Q17c; Eastern Oregon choice, clothing, 15 16c; do average. 1314c; do heavy. 1213c; Valley Oregon No. 1. l20c; do No. 2, lD320o; do No. 3, 18010c: do lambs, 1617c PRODUCE The bulk of the trade la Summer fruits is over, and the season, taken altogether, has been good one. Melons are still coming In, but are moving slower. Peaches are draw ing to .an end and prices are finning up accord ingly. Grapes are the principal subject of In terest now, the price fluctuating with market conditions almost dally. Receipts from Cali fornia are decreasing, and Oregon grapes from the Forest Grove district will be in shortly. On Front strest yesterday. Muscats were quot ed firmer and Tokays weaker. Concords were scarce. Among the day's arrivals was a mixed car of grapes and peaches from California and a car of cantaloupes and melons from Yakima. A car of Merced sweets also came in. In the vegetable line, prices generally have ruled steady. The poultry market has taken a turn for the wore. Receipts of chickens yesterday wera far beyond requirements, and prices dropped. & cent all around. Eggs are quite steady, with the supply and demand about equal. Butter is firmly held at tho old quotations. GROCERIES. MEATS, ETC A big advance- has been made lately in small white and large white beans. Owing to the shortage In Mich igan, prices .have gone up unexpectedly, and Indications point to. a further rise. A trade circular gives the following figures -on the Michigan crop: 1001. 120.000 tens, with carry over of 15,000 tons; 1002, 110,000 tons, with carry-over available for consumption. 125.CO0 tons, no carry-over Into 1003; crop of 1003, esti mated, 50.000 tons. The market Is also quoted higher on pinks. Retailers who have bought future Western canned corn can congratulate themselves, as the market Is very strong, with every prospect of an advance soon. The Standard Oil Company during the week announced an advance ot 2c in turpentine. Meats, -both live and dressed, have ruled re markably steady this week. Hog products are as last quoted. WanhinRrton Crop Report. The Washington weekly crop bulletin says, in part: The weather during tho week covered by this report was mostly warm and dry, with light frosts In exposed localities at night, which on the 14th and 15th, were damaging to lender vegetables. On Saturday, however. It began to be cloudy and cool, and showers set In near the coast. On Sunday, the 20th, rain was general over the western counties, and In a portion of the eastern division of the state. There was about an Inch of rainfall in the Sound country, but east of the mountains the rain was light. The rain was heavy enough to again delay haying, harvesting, threshing and hopplcklng. and perhaps still further damage the hop crop. Standing wheat was lodged and quite badly shattered, and considerable of that In the shocks was badly bleached. Oats and barley will be somewhat discolored; otherwise not ma terially damaged. The greater part of tho week was very favorable for harvesting and threshing, and a sWt deal of that work was accomplished. Mont of the week was also fa vorable for hopplcklng. The crop In tho Yaki ma country is apparently good; that in the western yards is reported rather light. Cutting the third crop of alfalfa In the lrrl- j gated districts, and the .second crop of clover In some of the western localities progressed favorably. Potato digging Is well under way. Although, In general, the crop is reported large and of good quality. In some localities of tne eastern aivjsion it is light, and In some parts of the western division there are reports of blight and "rot. SECURE -OPTIONS OX HOPS. Dealer Making Ten-Day Contracts Growers Hold for 25 Cents. SALEM. Sept. 23. (Special.) The records of hop contracts filed In this county this year In dicate that the quantity of hops covered by contracts Is much smaller than It has been before In many years. Contracts are compara tively few, and the great majority of the growers yet have their hops for sale. While most of them had to bororw some money to carry them through the harvest season, the strength of the hop market leaves them un crowded by creditors. The growers aro not seeking to sell, but are waiting for the prices that will be offered when the hops are lnthe bale. Dealers are seeking hops at 23c to 23c but few sales are reported. It was reported today that one prominent firm Is securing 10 day options on hop crops at 24V4(f25c The op tions leave the dealer free to refuse the hops If the price should not advance, but give him the privilege of taking them If it does ad vance. A nominal sum Is paid for the option. It Is quite generally believed that there will be a free movement of hops when the 25c mark is reached, and growers generally believe it will be reached as soon as the English buyers become active. The drop in the price last sea son after it had reached 26Vic will probably cause growers not to hold so persistently as .-they did last Spring. PORTLAND MARKETS. Grain, Flour, Feed, Etc.

SHAW'S RtLIEF MEASURE REGARDED, AS ASSURANCE AGAINST 3IONEY STRINGENCY. But Brokers Take Advantage of It to Sell Stocks 'Weakness Con centrated in a Ferr Issues. NEW YORK. Sept. 23. Trading In stocks was more active today, although still dull, and the average level of prices ended the day con siderably lower than last night. Thre was no resiliency to the market at any time, and the only pause In the downward tendency was an occasional period of stagnation in the dealings. The relief measure of the money market, an nounced by Secretary" Shaw, wa generally re garded In the financial district as a good as surance against money stringency .this Fall during the crop-moving period. BuU Instead of stimulating any buying of securities, this was taken advantage of to sell stocks. This fact, following the demonstration of, tho same ten dency yesterday, when United States Steel led a short-lived advance, served to discourage tha professional operators In stocks. The offer by the Secretary of the Treasury to anticipate the redemption of the Govern ment -s that mature next February offers so clear advantage to holders that there can be little doubt of Its general acceptance. The otter to pay the Interest to maturity now Is i departure from tho usual custom of the de partment, which is to exact a rebate for tho unaccrued interest. The offer la, therefore. In effect a premium for the presenting of tho bonds for redemption. The nddltlonal provision that state and municipal bonds may be sub stituted for such of the Government 5s as are on deposit to secure circulation and Govern ment deposits with thebanks removes the only possible object for holding the bonds to matu rity. Some stimulation of the demand for state and municipal bonds for purposes of this substitution, if carried out, is also a proba bility, which would have the effect of stiffen ing the general bond market in any period of moderate depression. But It proved powerless In today's market. Sterling exchange con tinued Arm. The principal weakness of the day was con centrated in a few stocks. The weakness of Amalgamated was attributed to pool liquida tion, thought to be prompted by the weakness of the metal In London. New York Central continued to suffer from the financial require ments to be faced, although Inspired assur ances came from the directors' meeting today that no attempt would be made to meet these for several months yet. The Southern Rail way stocks were affected by unfavorable crit icism of the showing of earnings In the -annual report. Much selling of B. & O. and Pennsyl vania was attributed to Philadelphia and Pitts burg account, supposed to be due to the col lapse of the Consolidated Lako Superior Com pany, and the growing tendency towards re cession In the iron and steel markets. The cooler weather In the corn belt and fears of frost tonight hurt the brangers. The market closed heavy at about the lowest. The weakness of United States Steel second 5s, which touched a new low record of 72Vi, was a weight upon the general bond market. Total sales, par value, $2,195,000. United States 5s advanced V4. the new 4s , the 3s l'per cent and the old 4s 1 per cent. The 2s declined Vi per oent on the last call. , 2 STOCKS.

Wheat opened firm, in fluenced largely by the bull sentiment carried over from last night, December selling early up to 78c, but the fine weather, the bearish situa tion in foreign markets and weakness which finally ruled in the Northwest and at St. Louis Induced heavy selling by commission houses, and the feeling turned bearish. December went off to 77c under the pressure. The ab sence of export business was a depressing factor, while cables were Indifferent at the close Local traders bought freely, however, on the sharp 'break In corn prices, while wheat was at the low mark, and the close showed a portion of the loss regained, but with Decem ber still 1V4.C under yesterday's final figures, at 77V4077c Trade was large and active. Corn, after opening at a trifle higher level, was dragged down by the weakness In wheat, but lator renewed Its upward tendency, and the close was 0V4c better for December, at 47047c. Oats showed considerable strength the great er part of tho day In sympathy " with corn. December closed 0c higher, at 37037c. The provision market wna atao slow and Ir regular.
