TIIJ- 3IORXIXG OREGOMAX, SATURDAY, MARCH 9, 1907. 17 TOO MAMYPQTAT0E3 San Francisco Market Again Choked With Arrivals. PROSPECT IS NOT BRIGHT Some Dealers Look for Slump Jo One Cent Basis Speculators Holding Back Klvers Which ill Compete With Oregon's lifi put a to TiiarU't, which a short t ime AO showrrt Indications of steady ins itself, galh presents a bad aspect. Pan Krancism is being flooded -with sto k from Oregon and thn Kant iid prices thutc arc maintained with ' difficulty or openly shaded, in' t!ie first half of tin: week nearly .". carloads wrfi dumped on tin Bay City and the mar ket is still staggering under the blow. The worst fvature of the market, o far as the Immediate future is concerned, is the probability of very heavy shipment s from the Ka.t arriving tn California, which some dealers fear may carry the market down to H- cent basis. While a slump in prlces,would liL(urai;fi shipments from the Lantern States, there is still a large quan tity of potatoes rolling that cannot be stopped. The Eastern .shippers have their agents at San Francisco, who will force the acceptance of these potatoes on contract. Some of the Oregon shippers who are holding large supplies here which they neg lected to market when they had an oppor tunity recently, are now finding themselves In a dilemma. Operations in the country on local account have practically ceased. There have been some shipments from Val ley points to Texas, but several hundred cars still remain unsold in Oregon. A letter received from San Francisco yes terday said of market conditions in that city: "Arrivals have been quite free and as sales have been limited, stocks are accumu lating; which is causing potatoes to decline. Eastern potatoes are selling slowly at ?t-4U i 1. 33. The average arrivals from the East are four cars daily. Twelve cars of pota toes and three of onions arrived from Ore gon Wednesday morning, besides 331 sacks, equivalent to 12 cars, on the Columbia. Everybody Is anxious to unload." These and former advices are fully con firmed by the following, from the San Fran cisco Call of Thursday: Receipts of potatoes for the first two days of the current week have been over if 5 car loads, almost all of them being table Bur banks from Oregon and the Eastern States. The.se heavy arrivals, coming upon an" al ready overstocked market, have a depress ing effect upon values, and despite the fact that the consumption is huge, receivers are obliged to keep shading prices to effect clearances. This is particularly true of East ern stock, a good portion of which is com- p .....u in tiuiPi Luiuiuiuii, naving oeen nipped by frost while in transit, and some 'of the arrivals are being disposed of at a loss to the importers. Supplies of river Bur bunks, which are controlled largely by spec ulators, are being held back pending the return of more favorable market conditions. Onions are in free supply and weak, with prices of even the best stock unsteady. HARRIS UNLOADS IMS HOPS. Take Ad vantage of the Recent Advance in Prices. Tlie hop market continues active and tl ere were many rumors of sales yesterday, but the details were lacking. -Growers' views have gained strength since the spurt began, but there arc so many unsold hops left that buying is not restricted. A good many men In the trade regard the present boom as unhealthy and look for a reaction. One of these la Joseph Harris, of Salem, who has been selling freely at the advance. In the past two weeks he has disposed of 3000 bales, practically all of the Sen wars holdings In this state. The last lot he sold was 400 bales, which went to E. C. Horst at 10H cents. Tn addition to the Ireland lot mentioned yestt rday. If. L. Hart secured 100 bales from Hall & Hart man. of Sheridan, at 9 cents; the Bilyeu lot of 30 bales at Inde pendence at S-7 cents; lt0 Vales from Sa lem dealers at 8'i and 9 cents and a num ber of small lots from growers, aggregat ing 100 bales, at 7 to It cents. One of Lach. mund Sl Plncus' recent purchases was a lot of 101 bales bought from G. Meucke at . about 11 cents. Orange 1 amine in Prospect. Portland will probably have on orange famine next week. One car arrived yes terday, but so far as could be learned only -ne more car Is rolling. The demand is Mrong and prices exceedingly firm. Among the day's receipts were a car of cabbage and cauliflower and a car of celery. There are due today a car of Los Angeles cabhage. '!. of cabbage and cauliflower and one of 4-elery. Some Florida tomatoes are coming nlong and bring $rt per six-basket crate. A Mnnll shipment of strawberries is due Sun day or Monday. Egg Arc Quoted Steady. The egg market was steady yesterday with Front-street quotations ranging from IT to 17!- cents. Receipts were liberal uiul cleaned UP. A fair lot of chickens came in, but they sold readily nt full prices. The butter market continued poorly stocked and was quoted very firm. Advance In Sugar Expected. Another advance in Migar is expected daily. The market is exceedingly strong and the retail trade is again buying freely. The New York market udat-cd 10 points yes terday with a big dcnpnid for refined, and the London mark t wat. repurted higher. Hunk Clearings.

AMUNDSEN LION OF PARIS Kxploror Declares Northwest Pass ngc Useless for Trade. PARIS, ' March S. Amundsen, the during Norwegian explorer who ac complished the Northwest passage In his 47-ton Gjoa, spending" 19 months of his three months' voyage making in vestigations in the vicinity of the mag netic pole, has been lionized in Paris. President Kallieres decorated the ex plorer a commander of the Legion of Honor. Amundsen has delivered lec tures before the various scientific so cieties and gave a private talk upon his experiences for the benefit of France's 40 "Immortals," at the resi dence of Prince Orland Bonaparte, who has recently been elected to the insti tute. "Nan sen,' says Amundsen, "was al ways fascinated by the idea of the Northwest passage which had been at tempted so many times and never found. Yet I saw it open before my ship the first year of my voyage and would not take advantage of the chance because my programme was to make observations at the magnetic pole. In the end, it is true, I did navi gate the Northwest passage, though when I accomplished it, it was much more difficult than when I saw It the first year." Amundsen expects it will take three years to work out the scientific re sults of the observations he made night and day for 1$ months near the mag netic pole. While ne knows that his observations prove, that the magnetic pole is not stationary until his figures and notes are carefully studied, it will be impossible to say whether its oscil lations are regular. Amundsen says it is the same with his meteorological, oceanographic and geographical ob servations. They will be studied by scientific men to determine their value. AH he was able to say in a general way was that the bottom traversed by him was flat and that the old dream so long entertained by explorers of a short Northwest passage practicable for trade purposes was exploded. The route north of the American continent, which he discovered, he says, is only practicable for scientific explorations. He earnestly hopes, however, that his example will be followed or that at least a station will he established in the vicinity of the magnetic pole and maintained there long enough to per mit of a complete and exhaustive set of observations. Amundsen goes to the United States this Fali. WORST OF IT OVER Wall Street Believes Liquida tion Has About Run Course. BUT PRICES STILL DECLINE Harriman's Pessimistic Views Have Discouraging Effect on Senti ment Persistent Absorption of Reading Continues. NEW YORK. March 8. There was further drastic liquidation in the stock market today and periods of extreme weakness, during which prices plunged downwards to a level in many cases lower than for several days p.ast. The bars proved in the later market that they had not exhauwted their ammuni tion. This did not prevent a growth oC opin ion, however, that the preiod of active liqui dation was approaching its term. Sentiment was much less easy today, even during the early hours, than for some time past, and the confidence was more general that the liquidation would run its course withont panic or disaster. The week has been free in 'fact from rumors of financial embarrassments. al though the extent of the decline makes the Tact of enormous losses having occurred a matter of course. The conviction remains gen eral that these have fallen generally ujon the millionaire class and among those who could shoulder the burden without ruinous conse quences. It is this conviction which gives the present decline the name of the "rich man's panic" among professional operators. Yesterday's weak closing paved the way for the flood of selling orders under which the market was swamped at the opening. Gloomy sentiment was accentuated by the discourag ing views upon the industrial outlook ex pressed by E. H. Harriman in one of the various Interviews with him which appeared this morning. His assertion that if orders on hand with the United States Steel Corpora tion were not subject to cancellation their completion would develop the lack of demand, was the occasion for the special drive against the securities of the corporation. The severe decline in those stocks was of substantial effect on sentiment. Union Pacific also re sponded to the pessimistic utterances of its president with a material addition to the re duction in the price caused by the 5 per cent dividend coming oft. The persistent absorp tion of Reading and the support of it was a factor in keeping the bears uneasy and in in ducing the active covering movement of th day. The drop in prices at the last was much the same as that of yesterday and the closing tone was decidedly weak. News was little regarded in the day's move ment and very little of importance came to hand. The indicated loss in cash by the banks for the week pointed to some subsidence of the flow of currency to thu interior and ex change at Chicago rose from 25c to 15c discount today. Bonds were weak. Total sales, par value, $l,73t,O00. United States bonds were un changed on call. CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS. Closing ' Sales. High. Low. Bid. Adams Express 275 Amal. Copper ...144,700 HKV, 102 :si .

SAN FRANCISCO, March 8. (Special.) Tonopahs were little sought after, Jim But ler selling at yesterday's prices and Great Western being a point stronger. Jumbo Extension was a strong feature among the Goldflelds, the last sale being 20 points above yesterday's closing, and strong bids did not dislodge any great quantity of stock. Great Bend showed some inclination to advance and sold up to last night's asked price, being bid for by sev eral different brokers without success at the prevailing market this morning. Com bination Fraction sold up 15 points on a 1000-share sale, but nearly all the other prices were weak and below the week's fig ures on any good-sized transactions. Trading generally was of limited propor tions and no exciting rallies took place. There was a report of a strike on the ground leased by the Mohawk Car Leasing Company. The morning price did not show any support given from that rumor, though the stock was strongly bid on yesterday's close.

E DKPKKSSIOX DOES XOT EXTEND BEYOXD WALL STREET. Conservatism Shown in Some Lines Regarding Operations for the Future. NEW YORK, March 8. R. G. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade tomorrow will say: Depression in the stock market did not extend beyond Wall street, commodity prices ruling high and general business continuing vigorous. A few trade reports tell of con servatism regarding operations for the future, due to high prices and tight money, but there Is practical unanimity as to the activity of current trade, comparisons with last year's figures being almost always decidedly favora ble. Many tanners announce the intention of wait ing for better terms and business is restricted to descriptions of which the current take-off Is light, notably branded hides. The grain markets have moved within nar row limits, aggressive speculation being de ferred in anticipation of next week's state ment of farm reserves. Some selling was caused by trade estimates that made the hold ings of wheat and corn very large, but the movement was not extensive, as big figures "had generally been expected. : HEAVILY -KILLED ORDER BOOKS. Manufactories Being Worked to Their Ut most Capacity. NEW YORK. March 8. Bradstreet's tomor row will say: Trade conditions continue to Improve, the tendency in this respect being the direct antithesis of that displayed in the stock 1 market. As regards manufacturing lines, : lt is the old story of heavily filled order , books and of capacity being worked to the utmost, despite which deliveries are back ward.

The market for domestic wool is quiet but Arm, the strength in London and small stocks here being the primal factors. Old wools, sta ples particularly, are being well cleaned up at top prices. Contracting in the West is light. due particularly to the high price asked by I growere and also to the high rates aemanaeu for money. Foreign wools are quite active. It Is expected that low grade wools will fetch lower pricee at the London sales, which open March 12, when 17;KK bales will be offered, but, on the other hand, prices on merinos will be maintained. About 130,000 pounds of South American wool recently arrived in Bos ton, mostly for manufacturers accounts, but some of it will come on the open market. Hides are easier and buying Is of a hesitating character. Business failures In the United States for the week ending March 7 number 172, agalnat 194 last week and 177 in the like week of 1900.
