THE MORNING OREGONIAN. FRIDAY, DECEMBER 7, l'JOG. 19 - STEADY BUYING Dealers Taking on Large Blocks of Prime Grade. FARMERS STILL HOLD WELL Kailroad Company's Figures of Ship ments to Date No Statement of Quantity Tendered and Not Shipped. HOPS Steady buying in local mar krt. POTATOES California market Is asy. FRUIT Spanish grapes are lower. HUTXER Local prices not uniform. EGGS Active and steady. POULTRY Local demand strong "WOOL Oregon staple active in Bast. Tbre is much steady buying going on in the hop market, but trade -still lacks the nap that U usual at this time of year. The Idea seems to prevail among Kastern con sumers that Pacific Coast hops can be bought for a cone, consequently tho orders that are coming1 in, which are plentiful enough, are generally at figures considerably below the market. The Idea that Oregon growers can be in duced to part with their hops at & low is a mistaken one, for in spite of the dragging market and sagging prices, much firmness is still evidenced by holders. The majority of growers who have not sold are financially able to hold on until after the holidays, a hen they believe brighter times will come. They know very well that the foreign crops were inadequate and that unless all calculations were at fault, the Knglish buyers will, event ually have to enter the American market. When quality in considered, the prices now being paid show but a moderate decline from . those ruling a fortnight ago. Strictly choice hops, if any were marketed, would doubtless command prices equally as good as those of a month ao. Amuiiif thi; bujers in the market yesterday was A. J. Kay, who secured 150 bales near Forwst cirove at lti to l3f cents. Toozo & Page bought a !ot of 34." bales at" Bulleton at 12 cntK. Klaber. Wolf & Natter bought a few lotn in the liubbard section. The J. W. Heavt-y Hop Company secured a carload at Eugene at 12 cents and another carload up the river at i-ents, also a T.Vbale lot from C. M. Mctssler. MeNeff & Dorcas operated heavily in the Chhalis ection, taking on an aggregate of 3uu bales at an avoYage price of 11! cents. Railroad ligures furnished by the Southern Tacillc, of shipments from Oregon from September. 1 to December. 1, are 41,385 bales. It is said that rince December 1, about 3000 bales more have been forwarded. With all the talk .of a car shortage these figures look, big, tiiid while the dealers are not In a position to question the accuracy of the figures, they stil! have their duubts. It is sufe to eay, however, that the quantity reiKrted shipped Is mighty small when compared with the quanti ty tendered for shipment. Sweet Potatoes Fail to Arrive. Two cars of sweet potatoes were due yrtterday but lailed to arrive. It is under stood, the Merced shippers will now work entirely on cellar stock. A wire from Los Angeles said the oranges are very green in Southern California and may nt be ripe enough for the holiday, trade. Northern Cali fornia oranges are being freely sold in the Los Angeles market. The email lot of steamer vegetable's cleaned up quickly. Jobbers are unable to secure cauliflower in the tan Francisco mar ket. Malaga, grapes were quoted lower yester day at $7.50 8. Potato Market It fcany. Tho potato market still has an eay tiin as San Francisco lias net recovered yet from the heavy arrivals of the early part of the week. Snippers have plenty of cars at their disposal, but fear the supply will not hold out long. The San Francisco onion market is a little steadier, but prices there are still consid erably below the minimum llguro' fixed by the Oregon Growers Association. Cirap Juice Is Scarce. There has been a scarcity of grape juice in the market for some time, as owing to the short 1903 crop, not enough was made to meet the enormous demand. Word lias been received that tho first car of IDOrt crop grape juice from the Welch plant will arrive here about the middle of January. Shipments after that will be regular. -- -- Butter Price t Uniform. Tho advance in tho city butter price is not yet general, but all the creameries arc expected to be in line by tho end of the Kggs continued active and, steady at former prices. Poultry receipts were again limited and a good demand was reported. Oregon Wool in Fun tern. Market. . Tho large movement in Oregon staple wool was the feature of the past week in the Boston market. The t-ak-s amounted to between l.r,uo.(MK) and L0lH,OOO pounds. Prices ranged from. 2:tc to 24c and in some cases i!4"2H wad paid. Valley No. 2 was quoted at 2S'n:i0e and N. S at 28(r 2c.

CALL LOAN RATE HIGHER Only Those tet Go YYIio Are Under Actual Necessity From Inabil ity to Secure Renewals ' " lroni Banks. NEW YORK, Dec. 6. Such selling of stocks as was done in the 'market today seemed to be under actual necessity from the inability to. secure renewals of loans when called by the banks. There was no sign of speculative selling and the undertone of confidence in the market was manifest. The strength of the money market was acute and the ruling rate throughout the day was again higher than yesterday. Disappoint ment was frankly expressed with the scope of the assistance offered for the money market The amount of the interest to be anticipated on December 15 is itself much less than the amount Wall street was counting on yesterday.- The fact that the payment of interest will not be made until December 15 leaves a gap between now and then,' when distress of borrowers seems un avoidable. - . ;i . Sterling exchange continued to, decline to day and it was possible to figure a profit on gold bought in London for shipment .to New York. It was argued that the equanamity with which the stock market accepted the high call loan rates was to be explained -by the fact that holders of the larger number of stocks in the market were not paying the rates, owing to provisions In the terms .of loans made some time since. Sixty-day loans were , made at 83 per cent and the six months' quotation rose to 6 per cent. Consideration was given to the money po sition to the exclusion of all other sub jects. The opening rate at 20 per cent was the lowest of the day and the last at 33 per cent was the highest of the day. Bonds were irregular. Total sales, par value. $1,452,000.
