THE MORNING OREGONIAX, TUESDAY, APRIL. 16, 1907. IT TALK OF COMBINE Growers' Suspicions Aroused by Inactivity of Woolbuyers. DOWN ON THE MIDDLEMEN Kcasons Why the Eastern Merchants Will Xot Pay the Prices De manded by the Sheepraisers. Sales of Mohair. Wool shearing has commenced In earnest In the Sand Hollow country, and if te weather continues warm, will soon be quite general in other parts of Eastern Oren. Nothing in the way of new business has yet been reported from the eastern counties. Talk is again heard of a "combine" on the part of buyers to' depress prices. The Pen dleton Tribune has . interviewed a number of sheepmen and they all seem to be of the opinion that the buyers are united in a pro gramme to get prices down to the lowest possible level. One of them Is quoted as saying: "The speculators are telling us about the low prices of wool.' They are armed fully with words without argument or flg tirea to bear their prices. They will not contract, as they say, on account of high prices asked by growers, but will wait until sales day and then band it to us. The fact Is they have moved 'heaven and earth to break up this sales day for the last three years, but as they have not been able to do so, are holding off so this year about buying until the balance of 'the buyers get here, and something then will be 'doing.' They (the 'speculators') tell us thai they lost money last year. The manufacturers don't ay they lost anything. We are not working for the 'speculators.' We do not want the manufacturers to lose money; we like to see all prosper, but we want all there is in the wool, as we have our money tied up In It and are not working for the middleman. I do not blame these 'speculators' for their contracting the wool in advance." The Boston Commercial Bulletin, which has always inclined to the bull side, rather than the bear side of the market, points out clearly the reasons for the conservatism of the trade. The following extracts are taken from its latest issue: On the whole, the statistical situation could not be stronger, yet it is not enough to give dealers confidence in the future or to lead to the hope .of higher prices. The feeling in all branches of tho market Is very conservative. It is believed that the hiph level of values has been touched, and that, while there is no immediate prospect of a material decline, any consideration of the future state of the market must take into account the possibilities of lower prices in the f all or winter. . ; Leading manufacturers have fufficient ; supplies to draw from to make them lnde- : pendent of the market for the next few months. This is tho principal cause of pres ent dullness and somewhat unsatisfactory views of the future of the domund. Tho condition of the goods market is not tho best. Tight monny and high borrowing rates are rentrlciing business. The outlook for easier tinanciul conditions is uncertain, and dealers and manufacturers are forced to take this into consideration in all operations. Tariff limitation is also a possible disturbance There can be cited many reasons for con servatism, prominent among which are those above mentioned. Dealers have to weiKQ the opportunities for profitable business. Manufacturers are considering the possibil ities of running their mills so that some money may be made. Both are Interested In the outcome of the annual struggle be tween tho Eastern dealer and the Western grower. Shearing is reported to have be gun in Nevada and some other sections. Host on buyers are slow in making a start Westward. If the present determination of Eastern merchants not to buy wool unless tt a reasonable price holds, then growers will be obliged to keep their wool or accept lower prices than they received last year, HOP MARKET IS STAGNANT, Orders Are Scarce and Much Below Sellers Views. The hop market is unsatisfactory, both from a grower's and a dealers' standpoint. Orders are few and, far between and those that are coming In are at prices far below those lately current. Brewers seem to have all the hops they need now and in view of the large surplus on the Coast are not dis posed to provide for future requirements at prices now asked. There was a rumor current In the market that Lachmund & Plncua had bought SO bales from Tadrow a- "Walker, of Independence, at 11c, but most of the dealers doubted that this price was paid. There haa been some business in Washington lately at low prices. The Cali fornia market Is inactive. Work in the hop yards of Oregon is gen eral and every effort seems to be made to grow a bigger crop than ever, notwithstand ing the unsatisfactory prospect. Weather conditions up to the present time have been very favorable in this state. The latest reports from the English hop trade follow: Wild, Neame & Co., London There is practically no alteration in the state of our market. The low level of prices has Induced a little more Inquiry, but with the excep tion of a few sales by pressing holders busi ness is very restricted. Manger & Heniey, London Our market continues in the same indifferent state, and business passing is of a hand-to-mouth char, acter. Prices in buyers' favor. W. H. & H. Le May, London The lower prices now being accepted for English hops Is bringing about more inquiry. The prices current are not warranted by the state of the stocks 'here, but is primarily caused by the lmlux of foreign hops, all the unsal able qualities of other markets being dumped here. J. H. Meredith & Co., Worcester" No growers' hops have passed the Worcester rales for upward of a month, and the small requirements of consumers are still being met out of merchants' stocks. Values are Quoted nominally nt from 80s to 105s. per cwt- Favorable weather has been experi enced for plantation work, and growers are now busy plowing down and cutting. BCTTKJt FRICEg ARE FALLING. Several City Creameries Decline to Thirty Cents. Butter is coming in faster than it can be disposed of and prices are exceedingly weak. Several of the city creameries dropped their price on the best grade to 30c yesterday and on Front street sales were freely made 2c lower. Some of the handlers of this article believe that the market will touch a 20c basis before the downward movement is checked. Prices on the Pan Francisco ex change took a sharp tumble yesterday to 21 He. The Eastern market holds up very firm at 80c f-'Kgs were dull and rather weak. A va riety of prices were quoted, but most of the business seemed to be around lic There were no receipts of poultry during the day. ACTIVITY IN THE MOHAIR MARKET. - Pool Sales at Sllverton and Sublimity Priors Are Steady. The mohair market has fully opened and mpplies are now coming forward freely from the country. Most of the sales in the open market are made a: 29 cents. The price was established at the first pool sale, but the Eastern market is still quiet and buy ers say they find it hard to interest manu facturers at prices that will yield them a profit on their purchase. The latest advices from the East quote domestic and foreign grades steadily held at the former range of values. The prevailing quotations at Boston follow: Domestic Combing, 30fi?32r; card ing, choice, 23 6 25c: carding, average, 19gp 20c; inferior, 15fc20c; tops, 50-Sue; noil 18$ 25c Forelgu Turkey, extra. 52&55c; Turkey, fair average, 44f 48c: Cape, firsts, If 43c; Cape, seconds, 40" 41a A p-al sale of about 15,000 pounds wa l held at Sllverton yesterday. ' was William Brown A Co., The purchaser of Salem, who bid 29 H cents. A small pooled lot was also old at Sublimity. Onions Sold at Top Price. Two cars of onions have heen sold to go to Washington point at $4.50 per hundred, but in spite of this fact jobbing prices on Front street have not been advanced, as farmers are steadily delivering their rem nants and this supplies all local require ments. There Is a good demand for potatoes and the market has not been weakened by the liberal receipts from the East. Another Creamery for Portland. L. A. Brandes, who recently disposed of his interest In the Oregon Creamery Com pany, is preparing to open a creamery of his own in the old Merchants National Bank building on First street. Workmen are tear ing out the bank vault to make room for the churns' and other apparatus of the creamery. " Vegetables in Good Demand. Green produce was in fair supply yester day and in good demand. ' A car of Los An geles cabbage that had been long delayed on 'the road arrived. A car of bananas that was sent to Seattle by mistake also came in. A crate of strawberries was received from Florin, the first from that section of California, and sold at 25 cents per pound. Bank , Clearings.

FUTURE IS TOO UNCERTAIN Violent Fluctuations of the Day Due to Professional Manipulation. Relapse in Standard Oil Prices. NEW YORK, April 15. Today's rather, vio lent and irregular fluctuations in prices did not alter the general conviction that tho cur rent Mock market is largely in the hands of professional operators, . with "the factors of doubt and uncertainty over the future of sufficient force to keep out-any large public participation in the trading and to keep a tinge of heaviness In the tone of specualtlve sentiment. ' ' . The bear' element among -the professionals, evidently flushed with their success towards the latter part of last week, made a vigorous onslaught upon the opening market today. The subsequent trading showed the influence of this considerable extension of operations upon the short side, without the dislodging of any Important new liquidation. There was a material recovery from the first break, but it was not until the needs of the uncovered bears had been substantially met that the dull and uncertain fluctuations were renewed. The record weekly expansion of bank loans, shown by the bank statement, came in for its share 'of discussion and was compared with the extended condition of credits for the coun try at large, shown by the reports to the Con troller of the Currency. Today foreign ex change reacted sharply, although call money continued easy. London looks for a further reduction in the Bank of England discount rate. The discount rate has hardened in Paris, however, and the sterling exchange rate in Paris has fallen 3 centimes since Friday, indicating a strong cur rent of remittances from London to Paris. In the time money market there Is a stiff ening of rates for the longer maturities, al though the market is soft for the shorter ma aurities. The opinion is heard from some banking quarters that the present discrepan cies in the money market of great ease for call loans and sustained firmness for other forms of loans is due to some desire upon tne part of lenders to keep abundant funds on hand and immediately available, in order to be prepared for possible contingencies. The reports of deterioration in condition of the wheat crop and of a spread of the ravages of the green bug made their reappearance in the - stock market during the day and con tributed to a late reaction. A sudden relapse in the price of Standard Oil Company in the curb market was a sentimental influence to wards helping to depress stocks. This down ward drift carried prices almost as low as the preceding break, but there was some recovery again before the irregular closing. Bonds were heavy. Total sales, par value, $1,510,000. United States bonds were un changed on call. CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS. Closing Rnfpa TJlV, t i , Adams Exnrftw ' ii... Amalgam Copper.. 92 "bit VuU Am Car & Foundry l,2w 3u 3o 35'-. Am Cotton Oil".!

Weekly Movement Is - Very Heavy. WASHINGTON. April 15. The European crop report or the Department of Agricul ture, covering conditions abroad up to April 1, says the heavy snow which fell last Win ter over the greater part of jEurope has, -excepting In parts of Russia and the Balkan States, almost everywhere disappeared. That the protection afforded to Winter cereals has been generally efficacious is being dem onstrated by the vigor with which the plants in most countries seem to be responding to the quickening Influences of Spring. CHICAGO WHEAT MARKET WEAKER. Free Selling by Longs Has a ' Depressing Effect. CHICAGO, April IS. Free selling by longs caused an easy wheat market here today. Sentiment in the pit was bearish all day with the exception of a brief period during the first hour. The market opened weak be cause of private reports of scattered show ers In portions of the Winter wheat belt. In addition, receipts in the Northwest were liberal and the world's shipments for the week were larger than had been expected. The reports of rain, however, were not con firmed by the Weather Bureau, which an nounced no rain in Kansas or Nebraska and none In prospect. This caused an active de mand by commission houses and shorts which brought about a sharp rally but the advance was only temporary. Longs were encouraged by large primary receipts and continued to sell freely. The close was easy. May wheat opened c to c lower at 7Sio to 78 c, advanced to 79c and declined to 78 c. The close was at 78 c. Trading was quiet in the corn pit ana in sympathy with wheat. The market closed easy. May corn opened a shads to tbHC lower at 47 c to 47 e. sold up to 48c and then declined to 47 c. The close was at 4747tec. Transactions in May oats were very small. The close was steady. Ma opened un changed at 44c, sold between 43?tc and 44 fee and closed at 4374 44c. The feature of the provisions market was the selling of pork, which was caused by a decline In hog prices. Lard and ribs were dull. -At the close May pork was T&c higher, lard was down 5c and ribs were a shade lower. Leading futures ranged as follows: ... WHEAT. Open. High. Low. Close.

NEW ORLEANS, April 15. While a score of white men were taking; a negro, charged with assaulting a white woman, from jail at Bunkie, La., last night, with the intention of lynching him, they say they were fired upon by a crowd of negroes, who had hidden near the jail. John Dorman was dangerously wounded in the abdomen, and two other men were wounded. After the shooting the negroes got away, they say, carrying the prisoner with them. A posse Is in search of the negroes. Later dispatches from Bunkie deny that the mob of whites was fired on. It is now the general belief that when the negro prisoner got away from the would be lynchers shots were fired and mem bers of the lynching party wounded each other. Pacific Fleet Is Organized.
