THE FOiUflSU OKEG051AX, SATURDAY, JULY 3. 1907. BUY SUGAR FREELY Local Trade Prepares for Ad vance in Prices. MARKET IN EAST VERY FIRM Higher Schedule of Quotations Is Looked for Any Day Steady Trade in Produce Lines. Condition of Hop Crop. The wholesale grocery trade is daily ex pecting n advance in the sugar market. There has been no definite announcement from the refinery centers that such will b the case, but there Is a feeling In the air that prices will go up soon. The New York market is In a very firm position and refined grades are constantly gaining In strength, owing to the firm ness of raw sugars. The latter factor may at any time force the refiners In the Bast to advance their list prices. It is impossible to eay what effect an Eastern advance would have on the Pacific Coast refiners, but, judging from their actions in the past six months, the trade believes they will quickly follow any higher prices quoted In the Eastern markets. The local retail trade Is preparing for a possi ble advance by doing some heavy buying at-the present time. EGG MARKET IS COMPLICATED. Prices Unsettled by Presence of Much Off Grade Stock. The egg market Is complicated, as iv In variably the case In the heated spell, by the presence of a large quantity of off-grade stock, which has a depressing effect on the entire market and naturally, by creating suspicions, checks the demand or turns the trade to guaranteed Eastern stock, which. In some cases, la offered lower. The pro portion of No. 1 eggs Is limited at this time of year, and as the season advances will grow less. Under the circumstances a wide range of prices la quoted on the street. In the North, there is the same scarcity of strictly fresh stock and the market has ad vanced sharply in spite of large supplies of Eastern eggs. The West Coast Trade of yesterdays date said: "The shortage of eggs Is becoming more pronounced with the warmer weather, and the market has ad vanced 2c during the week, Washington ranch touching 2Sc, with Eastern up to 25 If 2Hc. Demand is well maintained, and sup plies are kept cleaned up without diffi culty." Poultry receipts were liberal and came nearer supplying the demand than has been the case recently. Prices, however, ' were firmly maintained. The Front-street butter market was quoted weak. Receipts continue large and the tendency is toward an accumulation which is Only prevented by the shading of prices in sales of large lots. A considerable quantity of Eastern Oregon butter Is coming on the market. Prices are steady In the city creamery trade. CAR OF WATERMELONS DELAYED. Due Last Night, But Will Not Be on Hand Before Monday. A ear of watermelons was due last night, but was sidetracked somewhere down the line and will not be on band before Mon day. Several other cars are on the way from California, A car of cantaloupes ar rived during the day, and another car came In last night. Peaches were not as plentiful as they have been. Loganberries were comparatively scarce and were quoted firmer. The steamer today will bring up a fair ship ment of corn, celery, plums and pears. New potatoes are arriving freely and have practically displaced old stock. WEATHER IN ENGLAND IMPROVES. J Favorable Change in Conditions In the Hop Growing Sections. TACOMA, Wash., July 12. (Special.) According to a cable from London received by a local hopdealer this morning, there has been a favorable change in weather con ditions, and accordingly the outlook for an excellent crop Is encouraging. The market remains the same, but a change Is expected In a very short time. There is absolutely no market for 1900 hops, the dealer declares. Prominent hop growers In the Valley in and about Puy allup all express themselves as - highly pleased with the hop prospects, and while spraying Is in progress, there is but little trouble as yet with vermin. The vines are strong and sending out strong arms, and the prospects for a fine yield are favorable. If careful spraying Is continued. -Hops in the Woodburn Section. There will be a good crop of hops In this section, and if the weather continues good throughout July there will be no honeydew, says the Woodburn Independent. Some yards do not make a good showing, while others look well. There has not been the proper cultivation that there should have been, some growers being somewhat discouraged on account of ruling prices. It Is iot ex pected the output this year will be as large as last year, although all the deficiency will be fully made up with what la hang ing over from 1906. Bank Clearings.

BUT SPECULATION IS LIGHT Harriman Stocks Hold Firm, Not withstanding Expected Publica tion of Interstate Commerce Commission's Findings. NEW YORK. July 12. The market for se curities became torpid today, the activity dwindling until, at times late in the day, the trading was idle. The fluctuations were cor respondingly narrow, but the undertone was firm. The forecast of the week's currency move ment showed a less formidable inroad upon cash resources of the banks than had been anticipated, and while the decrease wa suffi cient to leave room for question of the main tenance of a surplus, considering the small margin of that Item last week, the compara tively easy tone of the call money market to day had a reassuring effect. As the sub treasury operations have taken $10,583,000 from the banks It will be seen that Interior banks hae drawn on their New York corre spondenta for repayments of the $30,000,000 of Government deposits to a rather less amount than was expected. The progressive easing of the call money market since the pinch of Wednesday precluded the supposi tion that the banks are near the limit of their surplus reserves. The Union Faciflc nd Atchison bond Issues were subjects of continued discussion. The subscription warrants for the Union Pacific bonds were listed on the Stock Exchange and after selling down to 89! distinguished them selves by an advance of 91, at which cash sales were made. As only $4;000,000 of $75. 000,000 offered to stockholders at 90 were ap plied for, the source of the new demand at a higher price was a mystery. On the curb the full-paid subscription warrants went as low as 8"ii, compared with 88, the syndicate subscription price. Some of the stocks of corporations,-' which are the special target of Government prose cutions, were weak, including the Interbor ough Metropolitan stocks and the American Tobacco group. One of the subjects of com ment was the expected publication on Sun day of findings of the Interstate Commerce Commission on the Harriman Investigation. The Harriman stocks were nnnly held during the day. The stagnation of the market Itself was a feature In the latter part of the day, but gains were held to a firm closing. Bonds were Irregular. Total sales, par value, $1,003,000. United States bonds were un changed on call. CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS. Closing Open. High. Low. Bid. Adams' Express 145 Amal. Copper 28,600 88i . 87 88i4 Am.

Bradstreet's tomor row will say: The leading Industries note great activity with Summer shutdowns limited by the de sire of manufacturers to catch up with or ders. Prices of commodities, as a whole, are at a high midsummer level. Building Is less active at some centers, but of record volume at other cities, and prices of lumber and other materials reflect some Irregularity. De mand for structural material Is light, but some heavy business Is pending. Copper Is much lower, the long-expected "official" break In prices having materialized. Some new business followed as the result of the new prices, but so far there has been no Indication of a new buying movement, and there Is .a question as to whether prices have been lowered enough to Induce an active de mand from American concerns.
