FIGHT FOR ST. PAUL
HtDCti Chicago market is weaker.
HOPS Slow buying on Eastern ac
count. POULTRY Chicken prices break.
KG OS Steady, with increased re
ceipts. BUTTER Firm and unchanrd.
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.

Struggle for Control Between Hill
and llarriman Interests Sharp
Drop In Great Northern and
Advance in St. Paul.
NEW YORK, Dec. 13. 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.

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.
