The week Just closed bus h?en about the dullest In the flour busi- r ibis jTHfon. a itw laquinca iinvu rf- vd from abroad, but they have not re ed in business. It Is reported from theln- r-Car that negotiations are pending with ccr- ta n mjvtcrious persons, supposed to be agents cf the RoMlan government, but whether ny orders have een placed could not be learned, as ira -h business is naturally kept secret. A arm tone prevails in the oats market, and l white are quoted higher. Timothy hay 1 :edy, and clover and grain are lower. The fa-: that the Government, le soon to call for h!s for a large quantity- of oats, and hay vjls not bad much effect on this market, as it us believed that the oats contract will be ylareS in the East, where prices arc much lower than on thin Coast, and that the hay award will be made in San Francisco, the Government having shown more fondneEs for the California article. Barley remains firm. bui is no higher, as plenty is offering. HOPS This market is r.lmost stagnant. No one expects any buslneM until the middle of J a.-aery Prices are largely nominal, but the cniertone of values Is very steady, as holders re'ea to give way. It looks now as if prices "wcr.il be maintained through the remainder cfxte dull season, which will leave the mar- in good condition for an advance when PRODUCE 3onslderable improvement has been shown in the apple market in the past w, due to the holiday demand. Dealers have worked off a good part of the surplus, which leaves the market tn better shape. though prices are not materially higher. The potato market Is steady, with a good local demand and light receipts. Shipments to San Francisco ar6 made' regularly by steamer, but the amount sent down i neces sarily small, as California still has an abund ant supply. of its own potatoes, and until they are disposed of there will be but little ehow for the Oregon article. Local buyers now quote S5 cents as the top of the market. Onions are steady, buyers paying up to $2.15. with some business 'in. a email way at 52.25 for an extra choice lot. The butter market is weak, Front etrect ask ing 25 cent, and the city creameries SO cents. How long this margin car. be maintained re mains to be seen. The only thing in favor of " the situation was the late advance -at San Francisco, which will keep California, butter out of this market for a time. Oregon eggs are arriving more freely, but prices are main tained by the stronger demand. No decline is looked for until after New Tear's. The season for Eastern eggs U about done for. GROCERIES. MEATS, ETC No changes wore made in staple grocery ltets during ths week. Trade was reported quiet. Livestock receipts wore heavier than last week, but the same prices are quoted at tho yards. There is a. good demand for drensed beek and pork. Dressed veal is rather slow. ; PORTLAND MARKETS. Grain, Hour, Feed, Etc. WHEAT Export values.

Contradictory Reports From Liverpool Are Ignored Liberal Decrease in Primary Receipts. CHICAGO, Dec 21. The wheat market at the opening was somewhat irregular. May be ing -He higher to He lower, at $1.10? to $1.1094 L10. For a moment offerings were slight ly In excess of the demand. Almost Immedi ately, however, sentiment changed, and It became difficult to get responses to bids. The result was a quick advance in prices. Liverpool advices were of a bearish tenor. Quotations on future deliveries at the time of opening here were from Hd to "4d lower. The apparent reason for the decline was favorable news received there from Argentina and of ferings of Argentine wheat. As an offset to these advices, a local commltsion-house had a cablegram from a Chicago correspondent now la Argentina, giving a much less favorable account Of that country's crop. The claim was made by this authority that, with 2.000.000 more acres seeded to wheat this year, appear ances indicated that the tfctal yield would b somewhat smaller than last year. This was one cause of the fairly active demand from commission houses and ehorts that developed soon after the opening. , Later la the session the market was further strengthened by a liberal decrease in primary receipts, arrivals today being only about one half as compared with thoe of tho corre sponding day a year ago. The strength of the December option was evinced by an advance of over 2 cents, giving Indication of th cash wheat here being in strong hands, and also of their b4ng some outstanding shorts in this month's delivery. Shortly btforc the close May reached the highest point of the day at $1.12. The. market closed strong, with May lHe higher, at $1.U4. The corn market was strong, partly in sym pathy with wheat. May closed Vic higher, at 45ic. Strength of wheat and corn was the main cauce of a firm oats market. May closed H4c up, at 31?401Kc. Provisions were weaker, as a result of a light run of hogs at tho yards. At the olose May pork closed 2Hc lower; lard was a shade lower, and rlbn were down 2H5c.

The strong upward movement of prices, of stocks on dull trading, which became striking yesterday, was contin ued only for a short period this morning. The movement seemed to run out and a letharglo condition prevailed. Then prices turned ab ruptly downward. Sharp declines were scored on a considerably larger volume of business than at any lime during the previous day's ad vance. "The coincidence of tho accelerated downward movement with tho appearance in Wall street of printed abstracts of the report of the Commissioner of Corporations gave color to the supposition that the weakness was In duced by the contents of the report. The recommendation In favor of Federal licenses to permit corporations to engage in interstate commerce seemed to revive al" the apprehen sions felt in the financial district on this sub ject ever since the publication of the Presi. dent's message. The subject receded into the background as a market factor, or seemed to do so, because of the opinions of authorities throwing doubt upon the likelihood of action by Congress in line with the recommendations This was the attitude yesterday on the occasion of the appearance of the interstate commerce report which did not interfere with the uplift of the market on very meager buying. Today's reaction was also due to a feeling of ekepticlsm over the substantial feature of yesterday's advance. The doubt was fostered by some rather clear evidence today of a re sumption of pool and manipulative tactics on the part of prominent leaders of the late ad. vance, to the heights from which such costly declines were made. The cost of that day has not passed from the memory of the victims and the market is undoubtedly still affected by the check received. There was a suspicion that the movement might be In the nature of an admonition against the Injudicious attempts to extend speculative commitments and forco the level of prices at an unproplUous time and that it was aided with that view by some of the banking And financial interests. The man ner of some of the selling was clearly intended to convey the Impression of such operations, but whether with the connivance of tho inter ests supposed to be acting was left to the usual suspicious conjectures of the trading public. With the sailing of the last nteatrer which can reach foreign markets with remittances be. fore the first of the year, the exchange market went to pieces and flattened out to an almost nominal basis.
