MARKETING GREEN FRUIT Grower in Too Great a Hurry to Realize on Their Crops Lem ons and Grapefruit Will Also Be Cheaper. The California orange crop this year will mount to about 30.000 cars, as compared with 26.000 cars last year, according to T. Pearson, who returned to Portland yester day after an extended trip through the Fouthern state. The Increase la due to the new acreage, which has just come Into bear ing. Discussing the decline In orange prices, Mr. Pearson said: "Tha falling off In values on the Coast and In the East has been due to two causes. First, the financial stringency, and second, tha desire of the growers to get their or anges off the trees all at the same time. In fact, green oranges have hurt the Eastern markets more than anything else. In the big auction markets. New York, Chicago. Boston, Philadelphia and st. Louis, the fruit goes on the market as soon as received and sells on Its merits at the time, whereas in the smaller cities that are not auction cen ters, the dealers put the oranges in their banana rooms and ripen them properly. In this way they are able to maintain a fairly steady market. The orange crop In Tulare County proved better than expected this year, while in the south it was about normal, though six weeks earlier than last year and of excel lent quality with plenty of good aires. "There will be heavy pickings of lemons !n the next three or four weeks. Prices have been very high in the past two years, but tight money and a large crop will bring them down this year to a figure where they will move better. I look for such a large early movement of both oranges and lemons as to produce some scarcity late In the sea son when. prices may again be as high or higher than last year. "There Is a good crop of grapefruit this year at Riverside and after the movement starts prices will be lower. The tangerine market promise to be good owing to the falling off In the Butte and placer yield. "The celery crop Is a large one, but unless they have rains soon, there will be olg losses around Smeltzer. Tomatoes around los An seles are a fizzle. Last year prices were high and the acreage was doubled, but this bp a son a blight hus struck them. The Cali fornia potato market is bound to be easy for pome time, because of the big produc tion, but unions are going to do well later in the season." FAIR WHEAT MOVEMENT. Some Inquiry From the East for Oat. Barley Js Quirt. There Is a moderate volume of business under way in the wheat market with export ers the principal buyers. There 1b also a fair California Inquiry which is expected to In crease steadily from now on. Farmers, as a rule, are holding firmly, otherwise the amount of business would be greater. The market yesterday was quoted steady and un changed. The barley market continues quiet and very little is being offered. The demand at present Is principally for the brewing grade. Consumers' of feed barley, have turned their attention largely to oats. The advances that have lately taken place In the Eastern oats market have resulted in some Inquiry here for shipment over the Rockies, but business cannot be worked on the present basis of prices. The local trade rules slow and values are quoted steady. Weekly Grain Statistics. The weekly grain statistics of chants' Exchange follow: American visible supply Bushels.

Grocery Jotbers do not think the five cent decline in the Eastern sugar market will affect Coast prices, yet the position vt the market Is regarded as weak, andboth wholesalers and retailers are buying cau tiously. The market on large and small white and pink beans Is firm, notwithstanding trade conditions, and there Is a possibility . of higher prices as soon as the financial stringency is over. New crop peanuts are on the way. Prices in Virginia are one cent lower than last year. Hood IUver Apple Prices. The prices received this year by the Hood River Apple-Growers Union for the several varieties of apples bought for Eastern ship ment have been made public, and are as follows: Spltzenbergs. $2.253.271.4; New towns. $2.25 2.73; Baldwins, $1.50 2; Arkansas Blacks, $1.73 2; Red Cheeks, $1.75; Black Twigs. $1.65; Ben Davis, $1.40; Ortleys, f 1.6502.23; Wlnesaps, $2.23; Hyde's Kings, $2.15; Northern Spys, $2,05; Gena tins. $2.10. Butter Sella Well at Advance. The demand for butter of all grades continues active, and the recent advance In city creamery has in no way affected consumption. Oregon eggs are in very light supply, and quoted . strong. Eastern eggs are also firmer in sympathy with the advance in the East, and the best are held at 81c. Poultry arrivals yesterday were good, and with a ready demand, former prices wero maintained. Bananas Are Belayed. The fruit trade was only fairly active. The five cars of bananas that were due yesterday failed to arrive, but It was re ported positively they would be on hand today. The' initial car of Los Angeles cel ery Is also due today, as well as a car of sweet potatoes. Hop Trade Slows Down. Very little business" was reported in the hop market yesterday, either In Oregon or (he adjoining states. H. 11. Pincus, uf Isaac Pincus & Sons. Tacoma. who has been operating here for the past two weeks, returns to Tacoma today, having bought all the hops he needs for the present.

WORK OF MANIPULATORS L.ast Prices Are About the Lowest ' of the Day Premium on Cur rency Advances Foreign Fi nancial Situation Is Better. NEW YORK, Dec. 3. Prices were put through a remarkable series of fluctuations' today at the stock exchange, without any perceptible explanation of the changes in the current of the news. The movement, in fact, was rather obviously manipulative and pro fessional. The trading fell Into extreme dull ness at times because of the experience, which was somewhat bewildering in Its effects on the minds of the room-traders, who were left In a condition of weariness accurately reflect ed In the languid movement of the market In its Intervals of repose. The feverish whipping up of the market and the excessive irregularity of the fluctuations were regarded as devices to conceal the trend of the speculative operations going on, and to facilitate the accomplishment of the ends sought, by giving the market an appearance of great breadth and animation. The ag gressive bidding np of one or two stocks was believed to be directed against Important out standing short Interests In those stocks, of whose position their opponents seemed to have accurate knowledge. Reading and American Smelting were conspicuous in this c!ais. and the course of these two stocks dominated the whole market for a time. The later qulet nesi suggested the meeting of large selling orders to realize with large buying orders to cover shorts during, the period of activity, re sulting in a material reduction of speculative activity on both sides. The publication .of the President's message was made the signal for the closing up of speculative commitments, as the various fore casts of the message had been made the basis for such dealings in the last few days. The actual perusal of the message disclosed little material to prompt the adoption of a new market position. There was a general agreement among finan cial authorities that tha Improvement in the banking position had not proceeded far enough yet to warrant any Important exten sion of credits for use in stock market opera tions. The recovery In the premium on cur rency, which approached 2 per cent today, emphasized this view. Various requirement were reported to explain the higher currency premium. The meeting of the payrolls, the needs of imports In making cash payments of customs, and especially the persistence of the demand of some of the Western and Southern banks for cash, all were In evi dence. The immediate future of the United States Treasury finances is also coming in for some serious discussion. It Is generally understood that the Treasury has met the extraordinary drain of its available cash holdings in the building up of deposits with the National banks by every bookkeeping expedient In the transfer of the disbursing officers and other accounts as well as by deferring outlay on applications wherever possible. But the post ponement of such expenses does not evade them, and their payment will necessitate the replenishment of the Treasury cash balance. To draw on the deposits with the banks Just at this time, or, in fact, before the turn of the year, would Involve conditions that would be viewed with some anxiety. The tone of the address published this mem-, lng by the financial leaders of recognized In formation and authority, especially on the pos sible extent of over-extension of enterprise yet to be rectified, had a chilling effect on some of the purely speculative enthusiasm which had been stirred up' in the stock exchange neighborhood In the last few days, s London continued .to., sell stocks In this mar ket notwithstanding the large influx of gold holdings into the Bank of England, and the decline in the open market discount rate. The discount rate at Berlin also receded, which development was viewed with special satisfac tion In view of the weak return of the Im perial Bank of Germany for the week and the anxiety that Is felt over she Berlin po sition generally. Last prices of stocks, after the numerous fluctuations, were about the lowest of the day. Bonds were irregular. Total sales. par value, $3,860,000. United States bonds were unchanged on call.
