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. United States 2s coupon
advanced per cent on call..

SIXMP IX, COEUJi D'AIiEXES
SPENDS ITS FORCE.'
With the Bottom Xow Reached,
More Active Buying Is
Expected.
, That the slump in Coeur d'Alene mining
stocks has spent its force is the opinion o.f
local stockbrokers. Yesterday's trading on
the Portland exchange revealed a steadier
line than has been the case for a week.
Gertie, with sales of 3000 shares, was
only oft from c to c from the previous
day's price.' Happy Day showed a decline of
but c. Reindeer moved up . c above
Wednesday's quotation. Nothing was done In
Snowstorm or Snowshoe and prices of these
stocks were nominally unchanged. I
The general tone of the market was very
steady and It is believed that now the
bottom has apparently been reached, buying
will become more active. A Spokane wira.
reported that market showing a firmer tone.
A number, of buying orders came in from
Spokane dnrlng the day.

Centers Chicago Prices
Close Strong.
CHICAGO, Dc. 6. The purchase of wheat
Cor milling purposes at the principal grain
centers, was of even- more urgent character
today than yeeterdsy and prices were strong.
The demand Is said to h caused by ln-
creased sales of flour. ' The fear of decrease
In receipts because .of a severe blizzard In
the. -Northwest stimulated the buying of
cash grain. Reports were also received of
larger shipments of flour from New York.
Throughout the day shorts and commission
houses were active bidders for December
and May. Offerings came, largely from, local
longs. The market closed strong, with prices
close to the highest point." May opened hk
to 4o higher at 78fe79v advanced to 7914 c
and closed 'A to ?c up at 78V4&79!4c. .
Trading In. corn was quiet and the market
steady, because of, small local receipts and
unfavorable weather for the movement of
tiie crop. The close was steady. May
opened unchanged at 43 c, sold between
43 Si 43 yt 2 and 4Gc and closed yc up at
43c.
There was fairly active trading in oats
and sentiment was bullish.- ' May opened a
shade to c higher at &:c to u3 t3:il&c.
sold up to 35!&c and closed lie up at
S5M:&35c. '
The feature of trading in provisions was
a sharp advance in pork and rilis because
of the continued Braall receipts of live 'hoes
at Western packing centers. May pork
opened at $15. (la and closed at $15.45. Lard
