THE' MORNING OREGONIAN, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 29, 1903. Iff THEIR VIEWS APART Wheat Buyers and Sellers Cannot Come. to Terms. TRADE WAS VERY SMALL Hop Market. Is Less Active at Un changed Quotations Shipping Inquiry for Potatoes Pro duce Is in Demand. The closing1 week of October has failed to de velop any striking feature In the local business -world. Trade on the whole seems to be rather dragging. In the wheat market there Is not the activity usual at this season ot the year, because buyers and sellers are apart In their views. The hop trade is moderately actlve at unchanged prices. Fruits are quiet, with only a limited assortment available. Farm produce is doing better this week. The Jobbing busi ness In groceries Is ialrly good, but things lack tho customary snap. WHEAT Both tho Pprtland and the Interior wheat markets are unusually dulL Farmers are firm holders, asking better prices than deal era will offer. Shippers are anxious to do busi ness, but their anxiety does not go to the ex tent of offering over a parity with European markets. The consequence is that but little business can be consummated when the views of buyers and sellers are so far apart. Millers are still buying wheat in the interior, but la smaller quantities. Market conditions ,ln Europe are thus report ed by T. "W. Rush, of .London, In the North western Miller of October 21: Thero has, if anything, been a slight recov ery in foreign wheat values during the week, but there Is no general desire to operate, and Is not likely to be until something definite be known with regard to the Argentine crop. Ca bles received yesterday state that the condition of the crop leaves nothing to desire, and If all goes well there Is no doubt that the yield will exceed last year's, which was about 100,000,000 bushels, out of which about 65.000.000 bushels will have been exported by the end of the year. No credence Is attached to the reports of an increase In the acreage of 80 per cent, com pared with last year, this Delng regarded as Impossible In the whole country, although there are authenticated isolated casos of an increase of from 20 to 25 per cent, partly at the expense of linseed, prices of which are no longer re garded as remunerative. Tho proDamnty. now ever, of a surnlus from the next Argentine crop (to be reapedin Decemocr) of 10,000,000 quarters or more Is sufficient to check specu lative buying, and so the trade continues- to pursue a hand-to-mouth policy, The shipments to Europe have been enormous during the last four weeks, averaging 1,300.000 quarters a week, which Includes no less than 800.000 quarters a week from Russia and Kou mania, 160.000 quarters a week from India, and only 305,000 quarters weekly from Amer lea and Canada. Those figures, of course, In clcde flour. There are no signs, however, ot accumulating stocks In this country. On the contrary, the quarterly stock returns October 1 show an un expected reduction In first-hand stocks In the porta, where the total Instead of being 2,300,000 quarters, as expected by many, proves to be only 1,850,000 quarters of wheat and flour. There Is. In fact, no longer any doubt that the consumption of foreign wheat this season in the United Kingdom will be very large. The English crop this season Is, for the most part. of wretchedly poor quality, as is evidenced by the fact that a certain proportion of It oniy ized 2125s per quarter, the ordinarily i milling wheats fetching 2CQ28s In the country. ' . Another reason for a large consumption of bread Is to be found in the failure of the potato crop, the effects of which will be more acute as the season progresses, because the potatoes will not keep, and still another reason Is the high price of fruit and meat. In France there is much variance In the crop estimates, which are from 43.000.000 to 51,000, 000 quarters. Meanwhile prices In that country remain quite below an Importing level, except at Marseilles. Stocks of wheat In Roumanian and Russian ports are swelling visibly, and on November 1 will not be far short of 2,000,000 quarters In the Russian ports alone. The world's visible supply October 1 proves to be somewhat larger than expected, owing to the increase In the Russian stocks, but the American and Canadian portion has only once been smaller than It now is In recent years, vis.. In 169S. The returns compare as follows in quarters (ISO pounds), hundreds omitted: . Oct. 1. Sep. 1. Sep. 1. Oct. 1.

There has been a good lowil trade in Hour during the past week at farmer quotations. The export business pre sents no new features. The demand from the Orient holds its own, but from other quarters the inquiry Is light. The outward movement on former business is heavy, two Immense cargoes being loaded for trans-Paclflc ports. Millfeed Is 6teady, with business of average proportions. Hay is moving quite readily , at the old figures. Oats have a weaker tone, and indications point to a decline soon, unless of ferings become lighter. Barley is unchanged. HOPS This market was decidedly active at the beginning of the week, but trading has decreased somewhat In the last few days. The fluctuations in prices seem to have come to a stop. For choice goods the market is as firm as ever, but poor offerings are hard to dispose of, and buyers are generally able to name the:r own prices. The highest price paid recently has been 23c for the Gilbert & Patterson lot. They were extremely choice hops. For poor, moldy stock the market is down to 12c, or even lower. News from abroad is more or less conflicting. Mall advices from Germany figure the Bavarian hop crop at 222, SSI cwt.. compared with 271,800 cwt. in 1002. From another source the Ba varian crop Is said to be nearly equal to that of last year. The official estimate of the Eng. llsh 1003 crop is 421.000 cwt.. against 311,000 cwt. last year, or an Increase of about one. third. Advance figures from Washington indl cato that the beer sales' for September were heavy, the Increase over September, 1002, being figurd at about 13 per cent. WOOL The .American Wool and Cotton Re porter of October 22 said of the Boston mar ket: The demand for wool Is generally quiet, but the volume ot business transacted the past week foots -up a yery fair total, owing to the moving of a few good-slsed lines of territories by three or four houses, and of a large line of low Australian crossbreds, the latter being for shipment abroad. Rumors of other large sales are current, but they cannot bo traced to any reliable source, and wool merchants generally. Including some of those who ordinarily do a large business, when there Is any large business gorag. report trado as very inactive. The sen. son thus far has been, a disappointing one. as manufacturers are still determined to pursue a conservative policy In the purchasing of wooif, especially inose making worsteds. Tho Reporter quotes Oregon wools at Eastern seaboard markets as follows: Eastern staple. 1717Jic; Eastern Oregon choice clothing, 15 do average. 1314c; do heavy. 12l3c; Valley Oregon No. 1, 20ff21c: do No. 2. 23 234c; do No. 3. 21H5?22c: do lambs. 1617c. PRODUCE Farm .produce of all kinds Is In good demand. The last few days have seen an especially lively Inquiry for poultry. Turkeys, ducks and geese came In quite plentifully, but quotations were easily maintained. Chickens were Inclined to be Bcarce. The egg market Is in the same shape as a week ago, fresh Oregon ranch stock being scarce, and Eastern eggs plenUfuL It ir the abundance of the Eastern article that prevents any advance In Oregons. Creamery butter Is firm at the old price. Cheese from points down the coast -s plentiful and held steadily. The shipping movement In potatoes is tinder way, but whether It Is permanent or temporary remains to be ' seen, Liberal shipments were made on the last two steamers to San Fran cisco, and about 2000 eacki- will go down on the next boat. The present California demand for Oregon potatoes is due to the scarcity of good Salinas at an Francisco, the potatoes of that variety reaching the market being wormy arid generally poor. Shippers here believe that the good Salinas are being held back by farm ers for a rise, and it that Is the case, the de mand on this state may rot last long. The fruit trado has been as good as could be expected at this time o year with changeable weather. Grapes were especially abundant, and the best offerings moved well, but many of the local shipments were not In the best condition. Apples are coming forward quite freely and sell readily at quotations. Oranges are In good demand, but will be none too plentiful until the new crop arrives. Banana receipts are light and clean up promptly. GROCERIES, MEATS, ETC Firmness pre vails in most articles In the list of staple gro ceries, but nr changes have occurred In the week except In package coffees, which ad vanced He "The tea market Is also particularly etrong. Coal ol advanced slightly curing the week. "Livestock jrAolpts have been good, and un changed prices have prevailed at the yards. Receipts of dressed meats have been, heavier than usual, and mutton has declined, but other kinds have eeld steady. All hog products are as last quoted. PORTLAND MARKETS.

Traders Show a Waltrng Attitude Rather Than Disposition' to Sell -Money for Crop Movement. NEW TO UK. Oct. 2S. The effect of the St. Louis situation on the stock market was eomc- -what obscure today. The expressions of con fidence over night irora that center that the situation 1 sound had a reassuring effect on the early trading, and prices hardened. The opening of business In SC Louis, which was later, owing to the difference In time, was fol lowed by a. reaction la stocks. The very heavy withdrawals ot currency from this center Dy t. Louis carried the level -ot prices of stocKs generally below last night. But the last hour of tho markflt showed the best prices of the day, the morning level being generally exceed ed by a fraction. In the final dealings, prices yielded again, and tbrt closing was rather easy. A survey of price changes will show that the whole movement was very trivial, and net changes were small, except In ,a fow cases. The dullness of tne martctt in new a reHoouoa m same sort of the nncertalny felt over the St. Louis situation, which prompted a waiting at titude rather than a disposition to sell. There was no selling which was attributed to St, Louis acoount. unless it might have ben in American Car. The quarterly rnpon of net earnings of the Pressod Steel Car Company, showing thtm to be less thanhalt of those for the corresoondtn auarter last year, naturally I had a sympathetic effect on American Car. as well as weakening the Pressed Steel Car stocks, On the other hand, the stocks ot the Gould Southwestern railways, centering In St. Louis. were among the few reatures ot posmie strength In the market, although there was nothing to show that .there was any signifi cance local to BU Louis attaching to the move ment. Pennsylvania was also strong, and Peo ple's Gas Bad an early advance on a favorable court decision. The speculative movement in Amalgamated Copper might be classed as marking time, and the dealings in the stock were In much dimin ished volume. The situation In St. Louis resulted in tele graphic transfers to that city from here through the Subtreasury of $2,100,000. Banks are also known to be shipping heavily through other channels. This Is a plain intimation that the Western crop movement needs, though long de ferred, are making large Inroads on local bank ing reserves, quite aside from tho emergency requirements at St. Louis, it was not surpris ing, therefore, that the rate for call money should rise to 5 per cent tnis afternoon and the rate for time money grow distinctly firm. The rise in local money rates may have con tributed to the sharp break In sterling ex change, although the offerings of cotton bills in that market were'reported in very large vol ume and heavy exports of grain were also en gaged. This prepared expectation for a weak ening of the bank showing ot next Saturday. But with New York bank reserves higher than In the corresponding period for several years, and with the limit of Government deposits promised by the Secretary ot tho Treasury to relieve the situation still $25,000,000 away, there is no real present uneasiness over the monetary situation. As an evidence of the spirit of dis trust toward banks and trust companies, the St. Louis episode Is nevertheless deeply im pressive, to the apprehension of the financial world. There was some falling off from the recent volume of bond transactions, and a reactionary tendency in spots made tho market Irregular. Total sales., par value. $3,346,000. United States 2s advanced Vi per cent on the last call. CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS. Closing Sales. High, Low. bid.

Cash grain was flrmty held' at full flgufca, but lacked activity. Lead ing mill feeds and hay werestronger. A leading firm says ot the wool situation: "Among wool operators. East and West, there seems to be a feeling of Indifference Up to September 1, we could not get Fall wool enough to go around: now it seems the other way, as a single bag Is evidently a greater load than dealers want to carry. Of course, this condi tion is so very bad that It cannot continue many months, but there is no probability of an early change. Prices are unchanged, though 'buyers could get wool very much lower for largo lines." Hops continue firm, with a good amount ot business in progress. The apple market is overstocked and weak.

PLACING BAN ON SOCIALISM. Russia Permits Rabbis to Call Con vention to Suppress It. NEW YORK. Oct. 2S. The Jewish Morn Ins Journal tonight received from is Warsaw correspondent the following ca ble dispatch: "The rabbi of Poltava has received from Minister von Plehwe permission to call a 1 ""o I for thi numnse of rievlslnrr moans that will tend" to suppress the constantly In creasing spread of socialism and Zionism among the. Jewish Inhabitants of Russia." Commenting on tho dispatch, tho Morn ing Journal says this so-called permission, which the rabbi received, actually amounts to an order directing that the congress be held. The rabbi of Poltava Is known as a strong opponent of both socialism and Zionism. Continuing, the paper, which is usually well posted on matters con cerning Russia, says: "Von Plehwe wants all of the rabbis 01 Russia to put a ban on theso two move ments. In the hope that the Jews at large will become more loyal to its tyrannical and despotic rule." German Liner in a Storm. NEW YORK, OcL 2S.
