THE 3I0RNING OKEGONIAN. TUESDAY, 3IAY 13. 1906. 13 MARKET IS BLOCKED No Shipping Orders Received for Potatoes. OVERSUPPLY IN THE SOUTH Accumulation at California Point AVill Require Two Weeks to Work Off Slow Demand for Wheat Berries Lower. rOTATOTSS California markets overstocked and shipping orders can celled. WHKAT-Dmnd slow and prices irady. " FRUITS Strawberries are lower. BUTTER Market steady with good movement. CtiKE&K IjOtal supply now ample. KGGS Not so plentiful and firmer. Potato dealers eee a very poor prospect ahead of the market for the next two weeks. It will take at Ieat that long to work off the accumulation In California, and there- fore all buy ins; for shipment tn this terri tory hum ceased. Yesterday's advices from Han Francisco said 20 cars of relief potatoes wre Mill on hand there, and the free dis 1 1-button of these Government supplies had t ut the trading: demand down to very email proportions. More cars are on the way on Uovrrrment account from the Eat. Lo An Klra and othT Southern California markets are heavily supplied and will order no more Oregon potatoes for the present. An unusually larpn supply Is being carried loially and great stacks are to. be seen at all the steamboat wharves. Farmers are rueh lnjr them In, owlrfg to the lajenens of the season, faster than they can be used. There Is a large surplus of potatoes In the state, hut a. old potatoes will be wanted until July, both here and In California, It la prob able that all the crop will be uaed up, which It was feared some time ago would not be the tape. The sHie of the remaining supply, howevei, may operate . against any improve ment In prices. New potatoes are coming up more freely, but these never entirely take the place of old potatoes, as long as the latter are available. A straight car of new potatoes was received yesterday from California. BITTFR MOVES FREELY. The Trade In i.eneral Is HatUfied With IVesent Quotations. The butter market Is drifting along in a monotonous sort of way. Most of the cream erie are turning out product to the extent of their capacity, hut It is all being dis posed of. The local consumption of butter, like every- commodity, la greater than it was a year ago. owing to the larger population, and the chipping demand is also heavier. Thffl, however. dVes not. absorb all the out put of the creameries, and the surplus goes into cold storage against the shorter produc tion later In the season. Speculators and rrramerymen would prefer to store on a low er basis than 2" cents, but the chances are against any reduction in the price now. It 1 said thrr- ts a die-position In.- some quar ters to advance the quotation in view of the free -movement of butfer, but most of the city creameries are opposed to raising the price, as they aay. it would top storing and would drive the retail, .trade, to. cheaper but ter, of which there Is plenty available. A few outride brand are held on Front street at 20 cents, but most of the butter on sale here, aside from Fortland make, is offered at 17' to 19 cents. The cheese market rulea steady at the pres ent price. A sufficient supply is on hand now and fresh receipt are regular. Shipping or ders took up a larga portion of the arrivals of last week. Kgfta are In moderate supply. but are not coming forward ass freely aa a week ago, and It is probable the Spring laying season is about at an end. The market Is consequent ly flrmr. SLOW TRADE IN WHEAT. Expected lmnd From California Haa Not Yet Muterlullied. The demand from California for Northwest ern wheat, which some members of the trade thought would be in evidence by this time, has not yet materialised. A few small shipments are being made, but the movement is no heavier than It was in the dull time Just pre ceding the earthquake. There is nothing In the export market to Justify improvement in pricea here, for Liverpool, so far, haa failed to act in accordance . with the price move ment at Chicago. In the latter market yee terUay. July wheat closed at a gain of cent, and May advanced V- At Lt erpooi, both options showed a loss of pence. The Merchants' Exchange reports the Amer ican visible wheat supply as follows: llushels. 1-ecrease. Mav U. UK'tt '.t5.Wa.tMH) 2,4H;.(HH) Ms 1.1.

The strawberry market declined yesterday, p Ing to the large supply, stormy weather and late arrival of the California train. It was the middle of the afternoon before the receipts were delivered. The Florin berries were the best that have been received yet. but the weather was against trade and in order to move the big quantity before the day closed, prices were lowered. Dollars were quoted at $1.50 and Jessies at $1.40. South ern Oregon berriea were "also in larger sup ply and were lower at 12Sfiir cents. The rain will curtail receipts of Mount Tabor berries today. Advices from Florin stated that average shipments were made Sunday, but Monday's shipments were cut down by rain. Two cars of oranges reached Front street yeverday. A car of cabbage was also re ceived. Bank Clearings. Flank clearings of the leading Northwest cities yesterday weie: Clear in.. Balances.

TURN IN THE TIDE Reactionary Tendency Devel ops in Stock Market. PRICES ON DOWN GRADE Recovery From Depression Caused by San Francisco Fire Believed to Have Run Its Course. Setback to Coppers. NEW YORK. My 14 The parly stock market today gave no evidence of a change from the advancing tendency of last week, but before the day was over a clearly de fined reactionary tendency developed. xn ex planation which perr.ed sufficient to satisfy the profesMonal trading view waa that the recovery from the depression caused by the San Francisco calamity had run its due course. There was no trikinir new development in the situation today to warrant a renewal of positive depression, but some consideration was given to a number of factors which were prominent at the time of the downward course In pricea. The news of a large temporary loan by the Pennsylvania Company and the reports current of a high rate of interest to be paid on tha loan called renewed atteiv tlon to the heavy capital requirements yet to be met In the money market. Western news dispatches this morning gave large apace to the extension projected by the Great North ern Railway and mention was made also of plans by the Union Pacific for lines- Into new territory. The Ft. Paul extension to the Pa cific Coast is known to be actively under way. An early Issue of part of the 100,0u0. 000 of new capital authorized by the New Tork Central is expected. There are also large holdings of railroad bonds already is sued and still in first hands, with resulting heavy loans from the banks to carry them which are expected to come upon the market with any improvement In the investment de mand. Another incident of the day which affected speculative sentiment unpleasantly waa the reduction in the dividend by the Parrott Sil ver & Copper "Company, a minor subsidiary company of the Amalgamated Copper Com pany. This operated to ihterrupt heavy spec ulative buying In the coprer grou, tesed on the excited advance in the price of copper metai- and copper mining stocks in London. The strength in this group was being used as the mainstay of the market to hold it against the selling to take profits which was going on at other points. When the copper stocks gave way the whole market yielded. News of general conditions continue uni formly favorable today. Rates for money continued to work easier and the London mar ket was cheerful over the prospect of declin ing money rates there, the Bank of England having secured all newly arriving gold in that market. This country's April exports of agri cultural products showed an Increase In value of J12.7S2.0O0 over those of the preceding April. The downward drift of prices of stocks con tinued through the afternoon and the closing was heavy with only slight rallies. Bonds were firm. Total sales (par value) J1.0T2.000. United States bonds were all unchanged on call. CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS. Sales. High. Low. bid. Adams Express ... 24" Amalgam. l'opper.lKl.N Jl"1 J"s- ""- Amer.

Tin made an even sharper rise, under bear covering, and closed at 215 per ton. The cbief reason attributed here for the rise la the neglect of the American operators to cover in time. It is stated that they are now cornered for material and that It is im possible to execute the order cabled here owing to the insufficiency of supplies.

With the exception of a brief perioc. at the opening, the tone of the wheat m.irket was firm all day. The opening weakness waa occasioned by reports of scattered showers throughout the wheat growing country in general, lower Liverpool cables and larger world's shipments, espe cially from Russia. Later came many re ports that the crop In the Southwest Is suf fering from lack of rain. On these advices, prices advanced rapidly. The market con tinued strong until late today, when much of the advance was lost on profit-taking.

Egara were a very Arm feature of the produce mar ket today, and. as was foreshadowed In the last .report, prices of fancy ranch advanced especially.

Concord Building, 2nd & Stark Sts. the express company is in a measure respon sible for the failure of shippers to reach this market. Butter rules firm under a fair shipping de mand, while cheese is inclined to easiness. The wheat market continued to strengthen under an active demand from the country mills, and some handlers report occasional sales of choice stock at a slight advance over the outside quotations. Northern bluestem is selling to arrive at an advance .of $1 per ton. Oats. toe, are strong, with supplies! lim ited. Barley and feedstuffs era decidedly weak. There Is continued all-round firmness In beans. Orders are coming to hand freely from various points outside of the state, and stocks of all varieties in the unburned ware houses are said to be rapidly decreasing. Large whites continue relatively firmer than the other descriptions. Trade In fresh fruits was of good propor tions and prices showed but slight variation from Saturday's closing quotations, the only noteworthy change being a decline In straw berries, the receipts of which were about 3u0 chests, the heaviest thus far this season. Gooseberries were very slow of sale at 25c to 35c per drawer, and curranta sold In a peddling way at 90c to $1 per drawer. A crate of apricots, the first for the season, ap peared from the Coachella Valley, but arrived too late to be sold. In the vegetable market, asparagus was in short supply and firm at sharply advanced rates. The canners are paying stiff, prices in the growing districts, thus checking the move ment in this direction. The market was still glutted with peas, and there were no estab lished prices for the general run of supplies. A considerable quantity was given away on Saturday afternoon. The steamer Manchuria, which arrived from the Orient yesterday, brought a shipment of 5428 bales of Jute from Hongkong, the first consignment received since the fire. The circular of Scott & Magner says of hay: "We can report arrivals of hay at San Fran cisco during last week of 2100 tons.
