THE MORNING OUEGONIAN, THURSDAY, JAKUAKT 12, 1M. HOPS AGAIN QUIET Market. Relapses Into a State of Inactivity. - CHINESE LIKELY TO SELL Wore Oriental Inquiries for Flour Improvement In Oats and Barley Complicated Situation in the Butter Trade. The hop market has .Cropped back Into a. state of Inactivity after the flurry of last week, occasioned by the selling by Klabcr. The dullness is due more to the lack of offer ings than anything else. though It Is raid that"! not many of the local dealers haVe Eastern order on hand. Should any more hops bo put ca the market at a reasonable price, how ever, they would doubtless be quickly1 taken up. The scarcity of offerings Is expected to he rellered before the close of the "month as many of the Chinese growers will try .to, sell out before their new year opens. They are carrying considerable holdings, but It Is iot believed their unloading will have an adverse effect on prices. The market "Went through the ordeal of the Klabcr selling without be traying the -least sign of a slump and can probably bear up under the Chinese realizing. Latest wire advices from New Tork are of firm, and unchanged but quiet markets. For eign advices also indicate a Ann undertone. The following shows the movement of hop at the oort of New Tork: ' , Receipts. Exports. Imports. ... , , Bale. - Bales. Bales. T.eek ending Jan. 6.. .'W . 20S 221 Since September J...89;852 63. Tec -ljl02 The London Times, In reviewing the JJngr llsh hop market, rays: "Earlier, than ever before, the bosrd of agri culture has Issued the annual preliminary statement relating to the total production of hops and the estimated yield per acre In this country- This is the first installment or what nre generally known as the agricultural pro duce statistics, and It will probably be fol lowed, ome woeks hence by similar statements concerning this year's total production and yield per acre of the -cereal and other crops of Crest Britain. From the official figure we have constructed our "usual table, given be low The cultivation of hops In Great Brit tain Is restricted, as U well known, to norms half dozen counties of England, the total extent of hop outside these counties being only 1S8 acre, as compared with 47.611 acres within them. In the-.table we compare this year's estimates of production with those of lat year, and we have calculated the percent age which each county contributes to the total production. The three tinenumeratcd -counties, yielding collectively 30S cwt.. are Salop. 280 cwt., and Gloucester and Suffolk, 28 cwt. The estlrnated total production In England In 1904 and 1003 follows: 1904.

The crop of 1904 Is thus J53 per cent, or one-third, smaller than that or 1903. although thto year's extent or hop's was Almost the nine a that of last year, .bring only 139 acres less. The pres ent Is the 20th consrcutlve year In which tho produce of the hop crop has been officially estimated In England. Within this period the estimated total production has fluctuated be tween a maximum of 77C.144 cwt. sr.d a min imum or 281.921 cwt.. the former having been recorded in 1PS8 and the latter In 18SS. two years later. This year's total production of 252.330 cwt. escapes being the lowest on rec ord hy the trivia! quantity of 410 cwt. A late number of the Kentish Observer says: '"Although there has been a rather better de mand for hops of medium quality, the trade generally has continued quiet, and there ap Pars to be no pronpect of the large growths of East and MId-Kents moving off this side of Christmas, unless. Indeed, holders are prepared to accept the ridiculously low prices offered. The bulk of the business Is confined to hops between S and 0 jer cwt. "WHEAT There lias not been much doing In the wheat market elnce the year opened. There Is no export business under way, and probably will be none during the remainder of the season. There 's a fair amount of Eastern inquiry, and some trading with Cali fornia, but the millers arc buying sparingly. The London correspondent of the Northwest ern Miller says of the foreign situation: The weather has been for me time remark ably mild for the time of year, although it Is now inclined to be more severe. This unsea sonable weather, both here-and In France, Bel glum. Germany. Holland nnd Austria-Hungary, tends to restrict the consumption of wheat, or rather to prevent that increase which is gen erally associated with the Winter months, and will help to account for the quietness of the wheat market generally during the post week. Anothtr cause of weakness has been the greater freedom with which shippers are of fering new cropjia. Plata, wheat at lower prices, business having been done this week In 65-pound Tlosarlo Santa. Fe (the quantity most liked here) at Sis 6d, and in 62-pound at 31s 480 pounds c. i. t. These prices at nliiepence to a shilling a quarter below tho price asked a fortnight ago. The crop re ports from Argentina, do not Improve, but It Is regarded as tolerably certain that an export surplus probably equal to last year's will be available. English buyers, however, are rather afraid of the quality owing to the re ports of damage by rain and other untoward -weather which will help to account for their Indisposition to buy this wheat for shipment, except at lower prices. This sort of wheat is uw on a level in "point of price with No. 2 Calcutta, which Is worth rJsSfSls 3d 492 pounds c J. f. for January and February ship-' menu The inuch-'iked hard .Manitoba wheat is, however, still very scarce, and realizes as aaueh at 39s 9d jr 4S0 pounds c. 1. f. for No. 1 Northern. S4s 6d for No. 2, and S3s Sd for No. 5. Eetlmatlng the New Zealand crop (which Is harvested later) at about the same total as last year, the total Australasian wheat yield Is expected to come ou(. about as follows, com pared with previous years. The figures are quarters of eight bushels, hundreds omitted: 1904. 1903. 1SW2. iftuflL New South Wales. 2.000 3.270 210 2.020 Victoria 2,150 5,250 320 1.230 South Australia...

It is, therefore, expected that the surplus for export will be about 2,500.000 quarters, against 8.000,000 quarters laet year.- FLOUR, FEED, ETC There have been more Inquiries for flour from the Orient In the past week than usual, but so far they have not resulted la business. However, they give an Indication of a growing want that must wner or later be satisfied. Stocks on the other side are only moderate, and It is diffi cult to see how the Japanese and Chinese can get along much longer without buying. At' present the market Is 1n a waiting attitude. There it a fair amount of activity (n oats and barley, ana prices are several decrees firmer, though as yet no higher. This la at tributed largely to the colder -weather, though the Government order and Saw lan buying have also stlmatated the market- Hay Is active and steady In price. ' FKODUCE-i-Thc "butter situation Is somewhat ""complicated. One of the cl?y 'creameries ad vanced its quotation on extra creamery to 32lc, with the following explanation: "A general .advance In the best grades of ;freeh-churned creamery butter ha manifested itself throughout the United States, doe to the extreme cold weather prevailing for the .jjart jlvo weeks, which, together with the violent storm accompanying, have canned the flow of cream to fall far short of the quantity required to meet the demand. How Jong the jresent stringent condition may continue. It U Impossible to foretell, but there is no reason to -expect yan early decline." On the other hand. Front-street dealers quote the market rather weaker than before, with Jarge supplies on band from Valley, Coast and "California. Oregon eggs are firmer and a shade higher than last week, as the cold weather has checked receipts and stimulated the demand. Eastern eggs are very scarce. Poultry of alt kinds has moved off well at strong prices, with the supply rather limited. Potatoes and onions are steady, with a fair shipping movement in the former. GROCERIES, MEATS. ETC All interest In the grocery trade In the past week has cen tered in the sugar question. Prices declined 10c on Monday and advanced again on Tues day to the former leveL The market Is very stiff, and most dealers look for a further rise. Low-grade 'coffees continue firm. Tea, rice and beans are quiet and unchanged. Salmon Is quiet, but quoted firm. Canned fruits are in a similar situation. The American Grocer in its jLnnsal review of tho corn and tomato packs of this country and Canada places the 1901 total of tomatoes at 8.068.803' cases, against 10.679,509 cases last year, and corn 11.462,909, against 4.851,146 cases last year. The shortage In tomatoes puts the market la a good situation, but the immense Increase In com will probably bring about a considerably weaker feeling. Livestock receipts haT been good, and prices are quoted firm at the recent- advance by the Portland Union Stockyards. DressTJ -meatsot all kinds have moved oft well, acd generally at firmer figures.

Jan. 11. 3ach a market as there wts tor stocks today was restricted to testing operations by profess-Io-ials is aa At tempt to discover the trend of the market. The attempts were UMuceeesful, for the slm ole -reason that the aw'ket had no' : -trend. There -ras a cendltloa of lethargy, with prices near to last night's level. The undertone Is undeniably firm, and such testis? cperatlons as the professionals venture upon are Indica tive or a spirit of hopefulness for higher prices. For several days past the early transactions have been light, huylng orders following re cessions, ahdthe disappointing fact Is de veloped that traders are alone In thn market. This stagnant condition of speculation ta a surprise to those who looked for active deal ings with the January congestion of money upplT. and the effort to. And explanation for it points to various surmises. The natural accumulation of money In New York Is mod ified to some extent by the oefgo ,of soil, and next, weks requirement of $10,000,060 tor the return of Government deposits is subject for consideration. But the almost plethoric con dition of the money market and the loan in terest rates prevailing make this an improb able explanation for the neglected speculation. The unprecedented rush of depositors at the local tarings bank this week Is offered as part explanation "of the diversion of Investment fuqds. the attraction being the advance In the interest rate to depositors offered "by many ut the banks. Then there is soroo distrust of the level to which prices had bees pu4hed in anticipetion of the January movement. The riee of a few pedal stocks left the Indeter minate tone of the market unchanged up to the clue. The movement of bond prices was Irregular, but there was a well-diffused activity In the market. Total sales, par value, $3,S40,000. United Slates bonds were unchanged, on call. STOCK QUOTATIONS. Closing Sales. Hlgh.Law. bid. Atchison 35,500 S7'.
