THE MORXTVG UKEGOSTAX, SATURDAY. OCTOBER o, 1307. 1! BUYING- FOB-EAST Large Quantities of Oats and Barley Secured. STIFFENS BOTH MARKETS Short Crops Beyond lhe Rockies Cause Eastern Buyers to Invade Western Territory Wheat Still Holds Strong. A con bM ruble dejrre of excltrment Mists In the hurley and oats market here because of the lively bM.tlnjr up that 1 going on In the interior. Buyers are numerous at Eaat ern Washington points, picking up all the available lot they can on Eastern account. As there la a strong local demand for both these cereals, owing to the heayv consumptive requirements of the territory tributary to this market, as well aa & nrst-clas shipping in quiry from California, the Eastern buying that is being done has naturally elevated prlcea all around. Aa has been stated1 before, the Eastern In quiry for oats and barley Is due to the light crops raised this year la those sections. Both the oat and barley crops In the Dakota, Minnesota and a number of other Important producing states have been, almost a com plete failure, and Eastern buyers, principally the representatives of Minneapolis- firms, were not long In appearing In the Pacific North west field. For the poet three weeks or more these men have been operating quietly In the Inland Empire, and a- large proportion of the surplus crop la said to have passed Into their hand. As an Illustration of the scale on which purchases of grain are being made, the Mc-Call-Dlnsmore Company, of Minneapolis, and the Campbell, Sanford & Henley Company, of Portland, are reported to have made pur chases of barley aggregating 1400 ton In the Pomeroy district. This In said to be for shipment to the American Malting Company, Milwaukee, one of the largest firms of mail ers in the United States, and will require 40 or more cars for transportation. A buyer for the Van Dun sen-Harrington Company, Minneapolis, Minn., la said to have purchased all the surplus oats and barley of the Gallatin Valley, on the line of the North ern Pacific In Montana. He la now In the Palouse purchasing, it Is said, all the grain he can secure" Aa high as $1.50 a hundred was paid, it la reported, for Gallatin Valley oats. The Rft stern movement of barley from WaKhington began as soon as the grain was ready to be whipped, but oata wlli not start before October 15. On that date the commod ity rates applying to wheat, barley, flax and other grains will also be effective on oata. The wheat market maintained a strong tone yesterday. In response to the firm cables re ceived. Jluylng was reported to be of good volume. CUT TRICES DO NOT MOVE CHICKENS Receipts Are Too Heavy for Locul Require ments. The chicken market has gone from bad to worse It was thought receipts would slacken up. but there appears to be no end to the supply. Added to the heavy- arrivals Is an Indifferent demand on the part of re tailers who evidently believe that "till bet ter bargains can be obtained by holding off. A general clean-up price of 11' cents was quoted on the street yesterday, but this falted to move more than a part of the of ferings. Ducks were also weak and quoted lower. Turkeys were In fair demand and there was asllttle inquiry for geese. A few isolated sales of fresh Oregon eggs at 85 cents were reported, but the general trade clung to the ftSH-cent quotation and buyers were not willing to pay more. The supply of ranch tock was limited. Ka stern eggs were plentiful, but firmly held. A large receiver of country eggs states thaVhe no tices among his arrivals an unusually large number of small eggs, showing that Spring pullets have begun laying, and for this reason he does not anticipate as great a scarcity this Winter as soma dealers fear. There were no new features in the but ter market yesterday. The supply of out side brands was ample and prices were un changed. The city creameries were ateady at the former price. IJCMONS AND PRANCES VERY PCARCE AH Fresh Fruits Firm Except Prm-hes, Concords and Huckleberries. Nearly all descriptions of fruit were firm yesterday, except peaches. Concord grapes and huckleberries. Peaches were not In large supply but the demand has fallen off considerably of late. The top price quoted yesterday was $1 per box. Concord grapes are being freely peddled about town, which hue restricted the Inquiry on Front street. The general price was 15 to 17 cents, but some were sold at 12 cents. A car of Rose of Peru and Muscat grapes arrived from California last night. There Is almost a lemon famine here. Trices are very firm tn California and it Is difficult to get orders filled. Excessive quota tions are not expected this winter, as there Is a large supply of Fan Diego lemons avail able that will tend to keep down values of the higher grades of fruit. Oranges are also scarce locally and firmly quoted. Ad Ices from Tulare say ship ments of navels will be made from there to Portland in a small way next week and the first car will leave for Portland about Oc tober 15. Two cars of sweet potatoes arrived yes terday. They are quoted steady at 2 cents with a br!ffk demand. HOPS ARE 11 RM BIT NO HlfilTER. Steady Buying Continues for Eastern Account. The hop market continues in a more or less excited state, owing to the high offers being made In the country. The top price paid up to date, however, has been 0li cents. The large number of buyers in the hop sec tions is responsible for the firmness shown by most of the growers. Some of these buy are are merely out after samples, while others are trying to tie up crops they may afterwards need. In addition to the three Mlley lota he bought at Aurora. Ernest Wells, buying for the E. C. Horst Company, also secured the follow inn lots in that section: Sixty-one bales from F. Dental; 35 bales from Free man; S3 bales from Henry L. Bents and 35 bales from Whitney Bros. O. Wetdner & To, bourht a tot of 165 bales in Yamhill County. Krebs tiros. In the three days have secured between U0O and 700 bales on both sides of the river, paying Ju and OH cent. H. H. IMncua. of Tacoma. was in the city lat night and said the growers of w ashlngton are showing more disposition to ell. Picking Is still under way In the Taklma country, many . yards that were abandoned now being gone over. He esti mates the Washington crop at about ST.OOO bales and believes Oregon will go 130,000 bales or more. ' A report was current in the market yes terday that a number of large dealer-growers of this state are disponing of their hold ings. Oregon Wools In the Enet. ffaa latest mall advices from Boston aay the market, for fine Eastern Orermi staple la well cleaned up. all the best clips having been disposed of.

MONEY IS GETTING TIGHT Drain From the Country Practically Exhaufets the Surplus Resources of the Sfetropolttan Banks. Xo Selling Pressure. NEW YORK. Oct. 4. Dealing, in .took, were the smallest for any day thu. for this year, afid discouraged commission brokers express smalt hope for any early betterment of this state of things. Public Interest seems nonexistent, and the sluggish drift of price, today represented nothing more than the tentative maneuvers of a small profes sional group to feel the tone. The bears are influenced by some recent unfortunate ven tures in which the market supply of stocks proved scanty and drove them to cover at a loss, and there is no encouragement to buy stock, for an advance when the demand la stagnant. That stock, are in scanty sup ply, however, was an observed fact in to day's market. There was a slow absorbtlon at some point. In the market, but It was only on price recession, that it was mani fest. The preliminary estimates of the week s currency movement offered one convincing motive for the repression of speculative ac tivity In the enormous drain that Is making on New York banks' cash resources. The fea ture of the currency movement is the esti mate made by the banks of the heavy movement on balance away from New York on the express movement. It appears that J3.rKX).000 to J4.TOO.000 has Just left New York. The Indicated cash loss of $3,800,000 to ?5, 300.000 while the surplus Item stood last week at 13.4G4.675. explains the tight ening of the money market. The Interior movement of currency evidently is rising to a full tide and is expected to continue through a part of the present month. The stock market does not call for ex tended comment. There was a sharp re bound In the London price of copper and some benefit accrued to copper securities there, but In New York the metal was lower In the quotations at the metal exchange. More than one-third of the day's scanty to tal of stock sales was completed In the first hour and stagnation overcame the late mar ket completely. Bonds were irregular. Total sales, par value, 1, 200.000. United States s registered declined per cent on call. CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS. Closing Sales. High. Low. Bid. Adame Exprera ISO Amal.

GRANTS FERRY DISCARDED Had Been Operated for 30 Years. Traffic Finds New iRoutes. GOLDEXDALB, Wash... Oct. 4. (Spe cial.) The Grants ferry, which has been plying between Grants Station, on the O. K. & I., and the point directly oppo site on the Washnigton shore for the past 30 years, suspended operation yes terday and the stage passengers and the mall for Goldendale are now transferred by gasoline launch. Up to the advent of the C. R. & N. Hail- way in the Klickitat valley the Grants ferry was the main outlet for the wheat and stocky shipments from the valley. It was aiao uii me mam niguway tor tne Oregon stockmen In crossing their sheep to -the Summer range in the Mount Adams country. The farmers in Sherman County all crossed at this point when coming after wood and lumber, and the ferry did a large business. But times have changed. Three years ago the ferry was changed from a steam ferry and operated by gaso line in order to cut down expenses owing to a decrease in traffic, and w. J. Man chester, the present owner, states that a recent order of the County Commission ers cutting down his rate for ferriage caused -the business to become unprofit able, and he decided to quit. EUGEXE TO TOTE OX BONDS Proposed to Expend 9300,000 In Improving Present Water System. EL'GBXB. Or., Oct. 4. (Special.) On Monday, October 14, the city of Eugene will hold a special election vto vote on the question of issuing $300,000 water bonds. The money, lt Is proposed. shall be used in bringing a purer and permanent water supply from the mountains and either constructing a new distributing system in the city or purchasing the present one owned by the Willamette Valley Company. There are two sources of water supply under consideration the cost of which would vary from $325,000 to $375,000. The lat ter figure will cover the whole cost of the most expensive project and will bring into tlje city enough water and of the finest quality to supply a popu lation of 26.000. and when the occa sion demands more water it is planned to lay another pipe over the same right of way, since the quantity of water is almost beyond a ' possible future de mand. The present City Council was put into office by the citizens favoring mu nicipal ownership of the water system. Newspaper Changes Hands. . TILLAMOOK. Or., Oct. 4. (SpecSal.) Rollie W.

DECEMBER OFF A HALF TUmg Holders at the Opening Try to Take Advantage of the Pre vious Day's Bulge Oats Firm and Higher. miCARO. Oct. 4. Liberal realising aales caused a weak market in wheat here today. At the close December wheat was off ic. Corn was a shade lower, oats were p and provisions were unchanged to a shade higher. At the opening of the day's -market, much long wheat was offered, holders being de sirous to realise on the sharp bulge of yes terday. The offerings were free throughout the day. The market wf.s also depressed by a decline In the export demand ana tne failure of the Liverpool market fully to respond to yesterday's advance here. Prices stiflened somewhat about the mtaaie or tne day on the report of delayed seeding in Texas and Oklahoma. A slight revival in export business also aided the bulls Just prior to the close. Renewed realising. How ever, caused a weak close to the market. December opened ttttc higher, to H0 lower, at (1.01K 9 101 , declined to ll.0o and closed at tl.oott 1.00. The corn market was easy Decause 01 tne weakness of wheat and favorable weather for the curing of the crop. December opened a shade to ttc lower, at C858c to 58HC, sold off to 67 ?4 and then advanced to 68o. The close was at 58ic. Oats were Arm the greater part 01 tne day because of the low estimate on this year's crop made by a well-known expert. December opened 14c higher, at 52c. sold off to 52c and then advanced to 52 c Provisions held steadv all day because or a 10-cent advance In the price of live hogs.
