FRUITS Strong local and shipping demand. MEATS Veal scarce and firmer. Telegrams received from Chicago yester day reported a weaker "hid market there The quality of the offerings is poorer at this time of year and to this cause is asc'riWcd tSie easier feeling. While tho weakness may be of only temporary duration, tho opinion Is growing In the trade that the advance that has been in force for some time has met with a decided check. There lias been much surprise that the market has 'ncld up as well as it has at a time of year -when quality and conditions are growing poorer. At present prices, Chicago is the strongest of all the principal hide markets of the world. Throughout Xuvope prices have been declining for two months, and at the Paris auction sales held the last of November values weakened from 3 per cent to 0 per cent on different varieties. Light hides are weaker In Europe than other kinds. . The leather situation in the Bast con tinues very firm, but trade generally is rather quiet. Although the amount of new business effected in solo leather nas fallen off, "as is natural at this time of year, the deliveries on contracts are large, and re ceipts, from the tanneries are entirely ab sorbed, leaving stocks on hand very small. The largest tanners are notifying buyers that all leather sold now must be for ship ment before New Year's, and this leads buy ers to suspect that tanners may be prepar ing to make some announcement of impor tant changes around January 1. HOP MARKET CONTINUES SLOW;' Three-quarters of the New York Crop Is Sulci -Prices Lower There. There were no new developments in t'iie hop market yesterday. Orders were reported to be plentiful at the prevailing prices, but most oi the dealers were idle. Three hun dred bales, mostly in small lots, were bought by W. J. Bishop at Sc to 12c. Telephone re ports from Salem were of quiet conditions there. The Watcrville, K. Y., Times of December 7, says : Selling has been quite brisk of late and at prices a little under those prevailing a few weeks ago. Many lots have .been sold J his week at 18c, and from that up to 2lc for an occasional choice growth is about the range of prices. Those who have inves tigated as. to i he amount of hops left in grow ere hands report that 73 per cent have been wold. The Cooperstown, N. Y., Republican of De cember 5 says: Thero 1ms been considerable activity in the market the past -wee und several hun ched iales have been purchased at 17c to -Oc. One well-informed dealer tells us that he thinfc three-quarters of the crop has al ready been sold. Grata, Flour, Feed, Etc.

The action of the stock market today was the occasion of much perplexity and finally of anxiety. The contrary effect on different stocks of seem ingly like influences was difficult of Inter pretation and ended in arousing a fear that a financial duel of some kind was be ing worked out in Ihe stock market. Interest centered on the Hill railroad stocks and on SU. Paul, the former on ac count of the severe weakness which they showed and the latter on account of its practically single resistance to tha weak ness which tho Hill stocks Induced by sym pathy in the whole market. It has been assumed for some time past that the large buying of St. Paul was in anticipation of valiiahla n.ht. In subscribe tO U6W StOCtC. already authorized but not yet Issued. In the case of Great Northern preferred, the subscription rights have already been con ferred on stockholders, while in the case of Northern Pacific, it was confidently ex pected that plans for new capital issues M hn announced at any moment during the day. Yet the Hill stocks Kupi mums away to Indefinite new low levels, uuo St. Paul rose buoyantly on neavy douii- Tha market took on an appearance too much resembling that preceding the North ern Pacific corner in May. juoi, to anow the nerves, of stock operatives to escape al tnirpthHr nn iinsettlement. It was inferred that the new canltal Issues of. the Hill stocks had brought renewed differences be tween the powerful capitalists which were in conflict in the original struggle for con trol of Northern Pacific. It has been held as an article of faith in the stock market ever since the Northern Pacific struggle was precipitated, with the ultimate purpose of control of Burlington, that . precautionary ownersb.it of St. Paul shares had been ex tended by the two parties to tne wrmer struggle. It was feared that the two were rnmhnttinr in this buying today to fortify their respective positions and that the Union Pacific Interests were -divesting tnemseives of their holdings in Great jsortnern pre ferred and Northern Pacific In tne same connection. The laree scaling of loans by an impor tant private banking house yesterday was the occasion of some mystery and rather added to the fears that large financial oper ations might be in progress 01 a retaliatory character. CHICKEN WtlCEW IM NOT HOLD VP. Receipts Prove to He Too Heavy for the Vrioand. The chicken market went .to pieces yes terday before the day was over. Receipts were again heavy and as the big buyers had all tue stock they wanted and there was no shipping outlet for the surplus, prices had to be sacrificed. Cutting did not enable all the dealers, however, to clean up- The sales that wero made ranged from 12c to 13c. The inrush of supplies was due to the high prices following the scarcity of last week and the soliciting of larger consignments. There is a strong demand for geese with indications of -a shortage this season. Ducks arc also in good request. The egg market was unchanged yester day. Some firms reported heavy stocks of Oregon ranch eggs, one house alone carry ing 75 cases, while others were poorly sup plied. Kastern eggs wore in fair supply. The but.er market was firm at the ruling quotations. Good Movement in l-'resh Produce. The demand for fruits and vegetables continues brisk. A fairly well-assorted sup ply is on hand which will be largely In creased in the next few days by the arrival of several cars now rolling- A single car of sweet potatoes was about all that came in yesterday. Oregon cabbage is becoming scarcer and tl.u available supply wills not last much lonrer. Strong Demand for Veal. There is a strong inquiry for small, fancy veal at firm prices and if supplies do not come In more freely, quotations are likely vo De alvanced. There has been a healthy de mand for pork for the past ten days. Re ceipts have been good and prices have held steady. Hunk Clearings.

The ri -sources made available to the New York market by the Treasury relief plan were handed over to the banks today and there were some additional transfers of Treasury deposits from interior banks. But the total of these additions to tne dwuw cash made up only a small proportion of the week's losses on regular sub-Treasury operations. Banks continued to" readjust their loan account, therefore, to repair the deficit in the legal reserves. Exchange made a further decline toward the gold import point, but an outgo of over $4,000,000 gold rrom lonaon to coutn Amer ica added to the scarcity in that market. At the low Drice of the day.
