TIIE MORNING OREGONIAN, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 1906. 15 GROCERIES HIGHER Prices Climbing Upward All Along the Line. ADVANCES EVERY DAY NOW Short Deliveries Are Being Made by Manufacturers Steady Move ment In Hops Complications in the Butter Trade. GROCERIES Advancing price all along the line. HOFS Honst Is buying heatily. POTATOES California market breaks. BUTTER Local situation compli cated. EGGS Active and unchanged. . POUL.TRY Steady at former prices. An advancing tendency In prices is no ticed throughout almost the entire grocery list. With the Jobbers It 1b more a question of receiving goods from the manufacturers than of sailing them. Deliveries are getting uncomfortably short al! along the line. This Is not only the case In the grocery trade, but In other lines of business as well. Cigar factories And it impossible to keep up with their orders and in some branches of the hardware, dry goods and furnishing goods trades, consumption is pressing so hard on production that It la with difficulty that orders can be filled and promptness in at tending to such matters Is very often out of the question. This is the direct result of the unparalleled prosperity of the country, thongh the situation is complicated in a measure by the inability of the railroads to handle with dispatch all the business offered them. The greatest show of strength In the grocery business Is In the canned goods line. Gallon 'goods are in big demand and with the- short deliveries promised, prices are climbing upward fast. Tomatoes in 2Vi pound tins show a marked advance. Dis cussing the strength of the Eastern tomato market an authority says: "The situation is consider) strong, not withstanding some estimates place the total pack of the country at 9,000,000 cases, or 50 per cent increase over the output last year. Conditions in jobbing and dis tributing circles, in spite of a pack of 9,000.000 cases, against o,.r00.000 cases last year, warrant the essumption that the mar ket Is In excellent shape. It Is pointed out that If 350.000 retailers and SSon Job bers were bare of stock on September 1 last It will take from 2,000.000 to 2.500.000 cases to give them an average of five cases each. Home of the heaviest packers are short in deliveries." There has been a shortage for several weeks In one of the leading brands of Ore gon condensed cream, as the factory has not been able to meet the demands upon It. Future prices named by packers on oysters show advances ranging from 7 i to .17 1 j tents per ease. One of the. largest pa kors In the Kouth has wired Uh agents to withdraw all prices In this line, some thing never before known in the trade. The expected advance n val&ins occurred ye-stcrday and amounted to 1 cent per pound. Mv-erpool salt has gone, up $1 per ton in the last few days, block matches have advanced 30 cents per box and rice is firm with an upward tendency. All through the list of nuts there Is an up word tendency in prices. The California walnut crap promised to be heavy, and at least 10.000 tons were expected, but hot weather did great damage and the most conservative estimates of the crop now do not place It at more than 000 tons. The Pacltic Coast almond crop, according to some reports, will be only 5 to 10 per cent of the average output. A very sharp advance of from 6 to 10 cents was made in bluestonc. Stocks are light all over the country and prices aro expected to advance still further. In the entire list of groceries the only weak spot at present Is the sugar market. The decline in the East Is attributed to the break in prices of beet sugar in Europe. On this coast, however, the weakness Is not so apparent and there Is just as likely to be an advance in prices here as a decline. CITY BUTTER AT THIRTY CENTS. Higher Quotation Is No Longer Maintained by Local Creameries. The top price in the local butter market today will be 30 cents. One of the city creameries on October 8 advanced Its price to 32 Vz cents and it was the expectation that most of the other creameries would reach the same figure by the first of the month. Announcement is made, however. that the price will drop back to 30 cents today, which will be a considerable relief to the creameries that have been selling their product at 30 cents and buying butter fat on the basts of tho higher quotation. The reasons given for the decline are the fact that the Seattle and San Francisco mat1r(a V a va A rnnnA and ntth thct larva cream cmtput and slow movement expected jln November, It would be difficult to main tain a. market here above 30 cents. The i city creamery market last year followed a similar course, when the price advanced on September 11 from 30 to 32 cents, dropped again on November 2 to 30 cents and ad vanced to the higher figure on Dec-amber 33, where It remained for the rest of the Winter. The Frcnt street butter market for sev eral days has been in fairly good condition, as several large buying orders have reduced the surplus, but supplies continue to come forward liberally. Country store butter Is ar riving fresh and sells well. The egg market yesterday was active at former prices. Receipts of poultry were moderate and cleaned up at unchanged quo tations. POTATOES BREAK AT SAN FRANCISCO. Market Is Flooded With Heavy Supplies From Oregon and Nevada. The San Francisco potato market has been broken by heavy arrivals of Oregon and Nevada, as well as late California po tatoes. Yesterday's advices were that muny cars were unsold on the track there. Buy ers In this state have reduced their prices correspondingly and are now quoting 00 cents as the top of the markrt. Sweet potatoes are easy on Front street In view of heavy stocks, but the Southern market Is firmer. Receipts of grapes were light yesterday and California offerings were firm and about 15 cents higher. Some local stock came In and was put on sale at 60&-65 cents. WORST COMPANY Ol'E RATES HEAVILY. Buys Between 800 and 1000 Bales of Hops in the Past Week. The hop purchases by the E. Clemens Ilorst Company in the past week are said to have amounted to between 800 and 1400 bales. Most of the lots taken have been medium and primes, but two 15 cent pur chases are reported to hve been majie by his agents. One of the latter was t.i Pat ton lot of 85 bales M Grafhfs Pass and another was a ima lot at Laurel. Jiorst also bought a few tieaper lots around Sliver ton. Among the sales yesterday were 100 hfeles by A. J. Pr st 144 cents and the BradJlcy lot of 106 ales at Forest Grove at 14 cents. Klaber. Wolf & Netter report the pur chase of a few lots for export. Buying in Western Washington continuea active yesterday and several lots of Yaki- mas also changed hands. Bank Clearings.

VOLUME OF DEALINGS LIGHT Decline of Prices, Though Slow, Is Continued to the End of the Session Call Rate Advances. NEW "YORK, Oct. 81. Depression ruled on the Stock Exchange today. Not only was the market dull In the technical sense of small dealings and narrow fluctuations, but the subject matter of discussion was trivial and the factors of Influence on the trading unlmportant- The volume of dealings was rather larger ian yesterday and the Increase in orders for execution by brokers wore mostly for selling. Calling of loans induced some specu lative liquidation. Tho call money rate also ran up early in the day to 814 per cent, giv ing warning of a growing scarcity of avail able funds. Trust companies as well as banks were among the callers of loans, gome of the scaling down of loans was admittedly to supply resources for paying for securi ties arriving from Europe, and which were closed out at last week's stock market settle ment in London for the account of New York holders. Preparations were in prog ress alBO for the payments due tomorrow for the usual November 1 . settlements. Meantime, the banks continue to lose cash both to the interior and to the Sub-Treasury, today's statement of the Government insti tutions showing a withdrawal from the banks since the last bank statement of $2,403,000. The money situation accounted for most of the occasional spilling out of stocks, which carried prices lower. The failure to raise the Steel dividend rate seemed to shake confidence in the increase in the Pennsylvania dividend at tomorrow's meet ing of the directors, which has been the cause of some speculative buying this week. The decline in prices, although slow, was continued and th. closing was easy and at net declines running from 1 to over 2 points for the active stocks. Bonds were heavy. Total sales, par value, $3,070,000. United States bonds were un changed on call. CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS. SCALING LOANS Closing Sales. High. Low. bid.

WHEAT CLOSES AT ADVANCE Flour Situation at St. Louis Also lienrjs Strength to the Market Cables Come Through Firmer. CHICAGO. Oct. 31. The wheat market was strong all day. Early in the session, trading was active but later the demand slackened and the market became quieter. Shorts and commission houses were active bidders at the opening because of firm cables and continued small receipts in toe worm west. The smallness of total primary re ceipts had a bullish effect later in the day, the total movement being only 851,000 bush els, against 1.494.O00 bushels for the same day last year. The flour situation at St. Louis also lent strength to the market. One report claimed that one of the largest mills in 6t. Louis had sold more flour in the last two days than during tho entire previous month. Late in the day there was some selling brought out by reports of Improved seeding conditions in Russia. The market closed steady. December opened 14 to 14 o higher at 73 74c, advanced to Hdi 7414c and closed ftc higher at 74Hc. Small local receipts and the strength of wheat caused a firm corn market early In the day, but prices eased off, although the market was steady until the close. De cember opened a shade higher at 43 '4c, sold off to 43 H l 43 c and closed un changed at 43 s 43 Vi c. There was little trading in the oats mar ket and the tone of the market was steady. December opened unchanged at StfVsc, sold between Suc and 33c and closed un changed at 331,ic. Provisions were easier at the opening because of profit-taking by small holders who were induced to sell by a 5c decline in the price of live hogs. Offerings were rapidly taken by several leading shorts. This dmand caused a firmer feeling late in the day. At the close, January pork was up 1.-.4S17V4C at $13.85. Lard was 7'4(o'10c higher at $S.42'4 'a 8.45. Ribs were 7Vjc higher, at $7.47 S 7.50. Leading futures yesterday ranged as follows: WHEAT. Open. High. I.nw. Close.
