THE MOENIXG OREGOMAX. WEDNESDAY, 3IARCH 6, 1907. IKING GOOD START More 1907 Hep Contracts Written at 12 Cents. ONE FIRM HAS 4000 BALES Eafttern Trad Will Buy 1906s Free ly If They Can Get Them tn dor Ten Cents Sharp Advance In Sugar. Whatever may happen to the remainder of the 1W6 hop crop, the market for 15)hb Ia going to have a fair start. Twelve cents Is being freely offered lor contracts and at this price Lachmund & Plncus, of Salem, have already secured over 4000 bales. This firm recently closed contracts with the fol lowing growers for new crop at 12c: J. L. Hanna. of Independence, 45,000 pounds; O. S. J'omeroy, of Wood burn. 15,010 pounds; John Groves, of Dallas, 4M.00i pounds; James Hughes, of St. Paul, 0.000 pounds. A good many of the dealers at Portland and Salem are well supplied with orders for contracts at lower prices, but In view of the 12c business being done, they And It almost Impossible to interest the farmers at their price. It is understood that a good deal of business in spot hops is being transacted, but much of it is kept quiet and many of the reports are contradicted. A number of the dealers have orders, but the Eastern trade seems to regard 10c as the top of the market and a good share of the orders are at still lower prices. Uchmund & Pincus have bought another bunch from George Hose, of Independence, making 1000 bales, all told, of the Roe crop that they have se cured at a price said to average around 9c. SUGAR GOEA IP 30 CENTS. Reflnexs Evidently Hav Had Enough of ' Price Catting;. All grades of sugar advanced 30c per hundred in the local market yesterday morning. The advance caused no surprise, as the Portland Jobbers have teen expect ing it for several days. The letailers evi dently were of the same opinion, as they have stocked up heavily at the recent low prices and a perceptible decrease in orders was noticed as soon as, the news of yes terday's advance got abroad. The Coast market is still 40c below a par ity with Eastern markets and under nor mal conditions a further advance would, -if course, be looked for. It is not improbable, however, even with the present conditions prevailing In the Coast refinery trade, that there may be an attvance in the early fu ture that will bring Western prices up to the Eastern level. The 'raw sugar market Is exceedingly strong in the East and re fined prices in that section have an upward tendency. Both the California Hawaiian Sugar Refining Company and the Western Sugar Refining Company advanced their prices at 8 o'clock yesterday morning and the job bing trade at once followed suit. Whether the simultaneous action by the two refin eries Indicates that they have come to some agreement or merely Phows that they are tired of the ruinous price cutting is a matter for speculation, but It is more than probable that the latter reason actuated them in lifting the sugar prices. Their business was abnormally large, following the late declines, and as the price was be lieved to admit of no manufacturing profit, it is likely that they have raised their lists In order to prevent a. further drain upon them. KGU8 IN IIEMANO AT JXW PRICES, storage Operation Will Be Well Coder Way Next Week. Speculators are making preparations to be gin storing eggs and next week a good many will be put away. The market held about steady yesterday, with a good demand at the price. Some California butter was received, but arrivals are not likely to be large enough to weaken the market, which is very short. The poultry market shows no change in prices, the -supply of thickens still being in adequate. There is a good demand for small hogs and email veal, but the large sizes are weak. Bananas Are in Good Order. Ten cars of bananas came in yesterday in good condition. A car of mixed vegetables and a car of celery also arlved. Hothouse lettuce was in strong demand and California . vegetable found more favor. Bank Clearing. Bank clearings of the leading cities of the Northwest yesterday were: Clearings. Balances.

ATCHISON LEADS IN DROP Plenty of Evidence of Vrgent Sell ing Hill Shares Alone Resist the Downward Tendency Many K u mors Are Afloat. NEW YORK, March 5. It looked for a time today as though stocks had made a stand again the violent selling pressure which has forced prices downward for srime time past. But the early rally proved only a breathing spell and the selling- move ment late in tlie day was in rather large volume and more precipitate in its charac ter than that of yesterday with a panicky break at the last. 1 he fall in prices was notable for an absence of news to account for it. The violence of the fall, however, gave rise to plenty of rumors of money difficulties to which the urgency of the un loading of stocks 'gave plausible color. No announcement of any embarrassments reached the public, however. The enormous and unexplained selling of Ati-hiscn was the active influence in turn ing prices downward. It was asserted tha-t a long-standing confidence in an increase in Atchison dividend has been abandoned by a speculative party very heavily involved with the stock on that assumption. The stocks came out in blocks of tnousands of shares ant. tiie prices declined rapidly in spite of the execution of some very larga buying orders, which had the appearance or teing made for support. The rest of the market ignored the Atch iron selling for a time and held its rally well. The complexion of the Market changed when the Harriman stocks began to come out again, and especially Southern Pacific. Rumors were current that a determination had been reached to reduce the dividend on that stock. Rumors of this kind were active ly circulated throughout the day but were entirely without official sanction or possible cc-nflrnia ticn. The most effective influence in the early rally in the market was the large demand for the Hill stocks at advancing quotations. A very circumstantial report was current that arrangements had been perfected by private agreement for taking over some of the large' holdings of these stocks which ..were hanging over the market. The Harri man holdings of Hill stocks, it was alleged, were included In some such arrangement. A statement with an appearance of Inspira tion was given out during the day denying yesterday's rumors that the Harriman hold ings were being liquidated to provide re sources to meet a note falling due at an early day for the purchase of Baltimore & Ohio stock for the Union Pacific. Money was slightly easier both on call and time. Chicago reported the largest ship ments of currency to the interior during February on record, and the impression was general that closer money conditions were in prospect. The conviction that with this prospect the only effective relief was to be had by stock market liquidation and a re lease of funds to meet the universal pres sure for money and capital lay at the bot tom of the general disposition to get out of stocks. The demoralized tone of the closing left much anxiety for the future course of the market. The special weakness of stocks which have been held in the Union Pa cific treasury gave an Impression that that company's holdings were being liquidated. Atchison fell at extreme 7 points. Southern Pacific and Louisville & Nashville 5 and the general list up to over 4 points. The Hii; stocks were the only ones in the list to save anying of the early gains. Bonds were Irregular.

DEMAND , PROVES LIVELY World's Visible Supply Shows i Good Increase and Total Primary Receipts Are Large Lively Buying of Corn. CHICAGO. March 5. Desntte a prepon derance of bearish news, sentiment in the wheat pit was bullish all day. There was a j lively demand at the opening by shorts and commission houses ana for a time trading j was in large volume. Bradstreet's report of ' tne world s visible supply of wheat showed an increase of 5,300,000 bushels compared with an increase of 4,391.000 bushels one year ago. W'htlc receipts in the Northwest were only moderate, the total primary re ceipts were large and the demand for cash wheat was quiet at all points. The demand during the last half of the session was less urgent and part of the early advance was lost. The market closed firm. May wheat openea unchanged to a shade lower at 7Jt to 7."iic, sold at 75 V4c and then advanced to 7tt 6f 7i?c. closing at 70c. Several leading commission houses were active bidders for corn early in the day and the market showed considerable strength. The claim by a local statistician thft last year's consumption of corn ex ceeded that of the previous year by 200. 000.000 bushels, was the chief cause of the lively buying. Realizing sales caused a reac tion late In the day, Oats were in active de mand all day and prices advanced sharply. The. buying was based chiefly on a statement that only 34.9 per cent of last year's crop is still in the hands of farmers. Piovislons were firm. Leading futures ranged as follows: WHEAT. " Open.

NEW ORLEANS, March 5. The case of Benjamin Greene and John F. Gaynor. charged with conspiracy against the United States Government, was called for argument today before the United States Circuit Court of Appeals. This case has been pending for more than seven years in one form or another, involving arguments before judicial au thorities of this country, Canada and England. After the original indictment had been found In Savannah, Ga., in 1ST, there followed about two years of pre liminary examination in New York, wnere the defendants reside. Then, following a brief hearing Jn Savannah, they were for three years fugitives in Canada, while the United States Government -carried their cases to the Privy Council in England before finally securing their extradition. In January, 1006, at their trial in Savan nah they were declared guilty on charges of conspiracy, embezzlement and present ing false claims. Convictions were se cured upon the allegation that they con spired to defraud the United States Gov ernment by inducing the acceptance of the bids at a higher cost than conditions warranted on contract work in Savannah Harbor. They were sentenced to four years' im prisonment each and to pay a fine of JoTo, 000, which equals the entire amount paid them by the Government for the Savan nah work. They .afre now in iail at Macon pending the result of the appeal. Before the case was called, attorneys for Greene and Gaynor announced that the appeal is based upon nearly 200 assign ments of error, classified under J5 sub jects, including the extradition proceed- V1CTOR MANGANESE STEEL BANK SAFE GLASS &.PRUDHO MM ECO., ACTS.
