THE MORNING- OREGONIAN, TnURSallV DECEMBER 5, 1907. 13 FARMERSHOLD BACK Bids Freely Made for Wheat, but Little Response. MARKET IS QUOTED FIRM Kijort Flour Prices Dropped 2 0 CcnU Per Barrel, but Buying by Orientals Is Not Stimulated. The Hop Market Is Slower. Pome of the local -wheat merchants are redding freely for wheat in the country- but their offerings do not meet with liberal re sponse from farmers. The latter, as a rule, are firmer in their ideas than they have been for two months past. The' result is a com- ; paratlvely small volume of new trade at the moment. it is probable that if the , farmers were willing to let go of their ; grain at current prices, the unsold portion of . the crop could be disposed of in short ; order. The harbor Is well tilled with ships j and steamers under engagement and this may account, in some measure, for the buy- I lng pressure now evident. The market I yesterday was quoted Arm. ' There fs a difference of opinion in the j trade as to the wisdom of the growers In holding back. Some of the larger dealer I anticipate a very dull market after the turn of the ynr, when they believe Argen tina's offerings will prove too large for ; the health of the market, while others have figured out that tho Argentine sur plus cannot be excessive and that there Is nothing to fear from on that score. Broom hall's latest summary of foreign crop con ditions follows: United Kingdom and Italy, seeding mak ing good progress under good weather. France, seeding about Mulshed; supplies lib eral. Spain, seeding outlook continues favor able; our agent at Barcelona estimates im port requirements at 20.000,HK) bushels. Germany, various complaints of result or drouth, vermin and cold weather; supplies only fair. Austria-Hungary, as a result of recent rains outlook is more favorable. -Houmanla, weathf-r is mild and rainy, which Is favorable. Stocks at ports and on barges large, hut interior stocks practically ex hausted. Russia, no change in the outlook; ports continue to sell to the interior. Argen tina, our aent reports conditions in the north are less favorable; dry weather is wanted. India, latest reports are that out look ts worse than heretofore reported; no export surplus is expected the coming sea son. Fo far this season exports amounted to 30.000.0rt0 bus h e 1 s. Australia. t he w h ea t crop of South Australia 1b officially estimat ed this season at 15. 700.000 bushels, against 17. X,000 bushels last year and 30,100,000 bushels in 11)05. There has been a decline in the export flour price of 20 cents per barrel to ?3.!0, but the drop has not yet stimulated buying by the Orientals. In view of the dull flour market, millfeed continues very firm. The situation in the market for coarse grains was unchanged yesterday. Hay was rather weak, as there is a considerable sur plus yet on the market. . HOP BUYING AGAIN FALLS OFF. 51. H. Burst's Circular to Oregon and Wash ington Growers. Hop buying was light again yesterday. In the trade It Is expected that business will be Blow until the second half of the month, when buying for December shipment should make an active market. KiRber, Wolf & Netter . yesterday .purchased about fioO ..bales on export account in the Dallas and Inde pendence sections. Word came from Silver ton that some business was done there. M. H. Durst, of Alameda. Cal., has sent the following circular to Oregon and Wash ington hopgrowers: All growers having 1006 or 1907 hops on hand are earnestly requested not to sacrifice them at current prices. Every bale of hops the dealers now secure at auction prices will bo used as a lever to force prices down for the long crop and thus complete the ruin of hopgrowers already .-begun. We should, ex port enough of these hops to prove to con sumers that there will be a shortage. Every holder of Oregon and Washington hops Is requested to communicate with me at Aurora Or., care of II. L. Bents, for par ticulars of the plan to export our hopa col lectively, and send a committee of growers ta London with them to look after the shippers Interest. v Whatever happens, don't be talked Into sell ing your hops at knockout prices. 1906 hops should bring In London at leapt .6 cents net to growers' and 1907s a proportionate price. The Oregonlan of Novemher 28 says there are lxo.ooo bales of 1!X and 1907 hops still on this Coast. It we export one-third of them we win get much mors for the two thirds left than we could for all If so ex port shipment is made. Let us all Join In a unifn to ship out one third and we can easily get 12" cents for what are 1'ft. California growers would Join Oregon in such a shipment. Let us move now. A shipment pool Is the key to better prices. labof. pack "of canned tomatoes Hse of the 1907 Outturn Attracts Attention ia Joshing Circles, The question as to the size of the 1007 pack of tomatoes is attracting a good deal of Interest in rannad-goods circles. Early estimates as to the pack placed the total for the whole country at not to exceed 9.000,000 cases. At the close of the packing season In October there was need for a re vision of the estimates and some authorities figured the pack at 10.500.000 cases. The American Grocer, which is now gathering statistics of ths pack from all sections, says: "The tomato pack Is proving larger than estimated In some states. California will be around 1.230.000 cases of tomatoes. New Jersey and Delaware will exceed 2.000,000 rases; Indiana. 1.300.000 cases; Maryland and Virginia heavy and are sure to exceed Won, when 3.702.490 cases were put up. We look for at least 4.5O0.O0O eases from the two states, possibly more. These six states are likely to supply 9.000.000 cases or more. This means a total for the United States of 11.000.000 rases or more." FIRST CARS OF LOS ANGEIJCS CELERY. Potato Market Depressed Sale of Onions ' 1 at $1.50. The ft ret straight oar of Los Angeles celery of the season arrived yesterday. It- was put on the market at $4 per crate. A car of sweet potatoes arrived and was quoted firm. Field sweets are all In now and what arrives hereafter will bo cellar stock. Four cars of bananas were received, mostly green, and a car of lemons also arrived. Among the Front street receipts was a straight car of honey of fancy quality. . The potato market continues dull and de pressed, and shippers are offering 40 to 75 cents, with growers holding tho better grades. The silo of a car of onions at $1.50 was re ported. Bank Clearings.

LEAD RALLY Sharp Reaction In the Call Money Market Premium on Currency Again Kalis Increase in Circulation. NEW YORK. Diec. 4. The price movement for stocks shifted many times during the course of the day's trading, reflecting either ger.ulne doubts and hesitation of operators or the manipulative effect of professional op erations designed to conceal the real course of the transactions and to confuse the minds of observers. The market was greatly depressed In the early part of the day and manifested vigor ous strength in the latter part. The early de pression was traceable In part to the effect of selling for foreign account and the unfa vorable view taken abroad of the contents of the President's . message, or rather of Its omissions. The - Japanese Incident seemed to be seriously regarded In foreign circles also. The copper stocks were an active center of weakness. Successive dividend reductions of different copper-msnlng stocks have worn upon the courage of holders. The United States steel stocks shared in the depression to some extent, especially, the preferred stock. The weakness of American Smelting was at tributed to fears of a reduction In the divi dend rate, but its greatest weakness was shown after the announcement of the declar ation of the regular dividend on the stock. The disposition to take advantage of the good news to sell the stock created a bad impres sion. There was another decline in the price of copper and It was feared that the eecent heavy shipments tt copper to Europe repre sented rather a transfer of holdings to a more convenient money market than an actual marketing of stocks. The vigorous rally In the market found its initiation in the Hill railroad group. Definite news for the active buying at rising prices of this group was lacking. - If was accom panied by-large lending of money on call by banking interests closely Identified with these properties. Subscriptions to Great Northern stock cal for the payment of an Installment cf $3,000,000 on . Deceber . and those of Northern Pacific new stock for an Installment of $11,625,000, payable January 1. There 'was a pronounced reaction In the call money market and the -premium ' on currency fell back again. This was connected with the issuance of the Controller's call for reports of condition of the National banks as of December 3. It has been assumed that some recent purchases of currency for account of interior banks were to strengthen their show ing to "he made in response to this call, now expected for many days past. Banks also are always more liberal n 'extending credit lia bilities Immediately after complying with the call from the Controller. The expected demonstration that the deficit now existing in the reserves of the New York banks will be found amply accounted for by he recruit ment by interior banks' reserves in the pro cess of withdrawal from' New York will go far to cure apprehension -over the New York reserve position, which 'is, in fact, about 20 per cent of deposit liabilities at the present figures. A prelude to the responses to- the Con troller's call was found in the report of the money In circulation In tho country oil De cember 1. according to the monthly statement of the Treasury. The increase in the circu lating medium for the month of November reached the prodigious total of $131,873,000. The increase In October, although the spasm in finance did not develop until ha fourth quarter of that month, was upwards of $70,000,000, making the total expansion for the two months considerably over $200,000,000 and actively extending . since December I, Tho per capita circulation of "the country was thus brought up to $31.71 on Decern bcr 1. A reduction in the Bank of England dis count Tate tomorrow was discussed as a pos sibility and helped to the later strength of stocks, which was maintained to the close. Bonds, irregular. Total sales, par value, $4,776,000. United States bonds unchanged. CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS. Closing Sales. High. Low.

Loin's Richard, a' St. John saloon keeper, was found guilty of Inhuman treatment of Hermann Voss, yesterday morning, in the- St. John Municipal Court, presided over by Recorder Esson. A fine of $50 and a sentence of 60 days In the County Jail were Imposed. At the trial yesterday the courtroom was filled with indignant citizens. According to the testimony, Voss was Invited Into Rich ard's saloon, where he was plied with liquor until he was helpless, when he was taken Into a back room and subjected to such torture and Inhuman treatment that 1 he became a raving maniac and had to be confined to the 'City Jail. Richard when arrested was put under $2500 bonds. Voss has partly recovered from the ef fects of his' experience at Richard's saloon. Several were witnesses to the torturing of Voss. Judge Esson in render ing his decision declared such practices as were shown by the testimony to have occurred In Richard's saloon were a dis grace to the community. It Is considered probably that the license of the Richard salmon will be revoked. Richard's at torney men notice or appeal irom tne ae clsion. Richard furnished bonds and waa released from custody. At the meeting of the St. John Council Tuesday night a delegation of 150 citizens was present to demand that Ia B. Walker resign as a member of the Council, because of his alleged connec tion with the Voss case, tried out In the Municipal Court. It was alleged that he was present at the time Voss was sub jected -to torture In Richard's saloon. Mayor Couch asked Walker to make any statement' he might see fit. Walker then denied that he had anything whatever to do with the case in question. "He said that he had gone into Richard's saloon, where he saw several men, including two policemen. He went away and saw nothing of the Occurrence in question. In concluding his statement Walker said he challenged - any one to prove that he knew of the outrage or had any part in It. T. J. Monahan, who acted as spokes man for the big delegation, said that all that the people wanted of Walker was for him to resign If guilty. He did not resign. Declares Regnlar Dividend.

Dec. 4. Weakness in the wheat market developed toward the middle of the session and continued until the close. Prior to that time a strong tone had prevailed, owing to active demand by commission houses and shorts, due. to the strength In corn and oats and to. an ad vance In price of wheat at Liverpool.' The situation in the Northwest was the principal reason for the selling pressure that carried prices down 1 to l'&c from the high point of the session. ' A slump In coarse grains helped to weaken the market during the last hour of trading. Tho close was, weak. May opened Vic higher, at $1.01 1.02ft, sold up to $1.024 and then declined to $1.00 and closed at $1.005 01.00. Corn prices advanced from 34 to lo early, as a - result of active demand by shorts.

Sorho of us laymen get mixed on Govern ment matters in times like these when tho Popullstic money of tho clearing-house is too plentiful, and we have to apply to tho editor for light on the bond issue: so you must excuse us if wo intrude on your space with questions that will show us to be ig norant on great financial transactions of Government bonds, as we have never had any experience with Issuing them er buying them at a great bargain-counter sale such as Is now In progress at our National capital. . We have always thought that 'Govern ment bonds were worth a premium, but I see that they are not, as our wise Secretary of the Treasury is selling them at lo cents on the dollar to the National banks, we have become used to tho great fire-sale advertisements where the' underwriters are forcing the sale of goods- slightly damaged by smoke for ly cents on the dollar, but when It comes to 'selling L'nlted states bonds at such prices It gives us a dizzy feeling and we must have help on this question or wo will start, a National bank of our own in order to get up to the bargain counter, for wo claim to be so -patriotic that we do not want to bo left out when our country is in need of our help. Just think of. it. Gov ernment bonds. 2 per cent, at 90 cents dis count with a sure shot to make up -the other ten cents in short order. Nothing like it since Mulberry Sellers In vented the National banking system to make money honestly. You see It is Ilka this George B. Cortelyoti sells the bonds for 100 cents on the dollar to the National bank, but he only asks tho hank to pay him 10 per cent on the"-purehase or 10 cents on tho dollar, the other 90 cents he leaves on de posit in the bank, so the bank gets a $100, 000 bond for $10.OO0. Now the banker does not like to part with his ten thousand "bucks" for any great length of time, so he takes his bargain-counter bond of- $100,000 and has George B. to .issue him $100,000 of good, new, crisp bills guaranteed by Uncle cara to bo as good as government bonds. So you see he parted with $10,000 and he has gotten $100,000 for it, or $90,000 profit in money and a $100,000 United States bond drawing 2 per .cent deposited with George B. Cortelyou. custodian, and he does not have to subscribe to tho .campaign fund even If George B. Vortelyou should be nominated unless he wants to. That, Mr. Editor, is what I call'a financial and kt is more; It Is a "legal transaction" .sanctified by the greatest Gov ernment in toe wona. ' Now you may tell me that tho Govern ment may call oit the banker any time for tho other" $90,000 It has on deposit in his bank, and then I would reply that tho Gov ernment has now on deposit in the National banks $340,000,000 and it does not ask the banks for its money, but Ilk Mr. E. v Mark.. It issues $50,000,000 of bonds snd disposes of them for $5,000,000 and pays 20 per cent Interest on the money it gets and loans out its money without Interest. In the language of- Mr. E. Z. Mark "that Is tho limit" though I don't believe Mr. E. Z Mark was ever accused of anything quite so raw as this whole transaction. What does It all mean? Does the Govern ment own ttjo National banks or do the National banks own i the Government at Washington? Or is this a necessary prelude to the opening of the next campaign? Pos sibly tho Administration is forced to "cast an anchor to tho windward" in order to safely ride out the political tornado that It sees coming In 1908. Where do tho campaign funds come from to uphold tho credit and honor of our great and glorious country? . H. D. WAGNON. Two States Exclude Provident. NEW YORK, Dec. 4. It was officially announced last night that word had been sent by E. E. Rittenhoirse, Commissioner of Insurance for. the State of Colorado, and Otto Kelsey, New York State Su perintendent of Insurance, to the Provi dent Savings Life Assuratice Society to cease the transaction and solicitation of any new business in these two states, as tho inquiry which they had made into the business of the society had disclosed an Impairment of the assets."
