BUTTER VERY FIRM
Production Is Gradually Fall
ing Off.
BOTH CITY AND COUNTRY
No Immediate Change in Prices Is
Looked For Cheese Moves Very
Slowly Fruit-Dealers May
Cnt Out Bananas.
The supply of butter In the local market
la becoming smaller and price, as a result,
are very Arm. Up to the present time, how
ever, the supply has been bo clone to the demand-that
the city creameries have not con
sidered It advisable to advance prices. If
the production continues) to decrease and the
Inquiry holds as good as it is now. It may
be necessary, before long, to add 2i cents
to the wholesale quotation. Receipts of out-of-town
butter on Front street are also be
coming; lighter, and It Is difficult to nu or
ders In some of the brands.
Prices all along the Coast are nearly uni
form now. At Seattle and Tacoma, as at
Portland, the market stands at SS cents,
while at Spokane and San Francisco the top
quotation Is 34 cents. The tone Is strong at
all points. The Eastern markets have been
Arm for some time past with 2S cents quoted
at Elgin and Chicago.
The cheese market, which usually moves In
sympathy with butter, Is probably as high
now as it can go. Generally speaking, cheese
Is firm, but because of the high prices, con
sumption has been checked - somewhat. .
BANK CLEARINGS IX NOVEMBER.
Restriction of Business by Money Flurry
Causes Large Decrease.
The extent to which the restriction of
business, caused by the flurry In the money
market late In October, affected payments
through the banks. Is shown by November
bank clearings, total bank exchanges at all
cities In the United States for that month,
as reported by R. G. Dun & Co., being
!. 664.8.11.522. a decrease of 20.2 per cem
compared with last year and 2G.6 per Cent
under the corresponding month of-1005. The
full force of the money market disturbance
Is shown by the statistics and nearly every
city reports a decrease as compared with
last year. At many cities the decrease is
very large. The loss is greatest In the New
England cities, Middle Atlantic. Middle
South. Central West and at Pacific CoaHt
points There has been a comparatively
small loss each month this year compared
with lBOrt, with the exception of two months,
hut this loss was almost wholly at New York
City and was due to the greatly reduced
volume of speculative business In the New
York stock market and the lower security
values prevailing; In November, however,
the loss is nearly one-third.
At the Pacltlc Coast points the effect of
the stringency was quite severe, and there
are large losses at San Francisco, Los An
geles, Seattle and Portland. Spokane reports
a small gain. The figures In detail follow:

JOBBKRS MAY "CUT OUT" BANANAS.
Declare Business, as at Present Conducted,
Is Not Profitable.
The wholesale flrult dealers are again
considering the advisability of doing business
without bananas, owing to the unsatisfac
tory quality of fruit sent to this market.
They assert there Is no money In the busi
ness as at present conducted. Three cars
of bananas are due to arrive today. A car
of sweet potatoes was duo last night and a
car of Los Angeles celery will be on the
market Thursday. Prices generally were
unchanged yesterday.
The onion market continues firm, because
of some Northern orders, but it is said the
present demand Is not extensive. A car was
reported" bought at $1.75 in the country
yesterday. The potato movement is slow.
Hops Moving at Imw Prices.
A considerable amount of business was re
ported In the hop market yosterday, most
of It at prices ranging from 5 to 64 cents.
Official returns of the German hop crop
of . 1907 have been received and show a
decreased acreage, but Increased production
as compared with last year. The -crop of
the German Empire this year amounted to
483.122 centals; grown on 88,207 acres. In
mod the production was 420.786 centals., the
acreage 38.861. and In 1903 the crop was
883,138 centals, and the acreage 39,511.
raln Markets Are Featureless.
The local grain markets were dull and fea
tureless yesterday. Wheat was quoted weak
and lower, because of the continued decline
abroad. There was also an easy undertone
In the oats market, with the demand slow.
Barley was quoted unchanged and hay about
.steady. In some quarters of the grocery
trade, lower Hour prices sre .looked for.

GOVERNMENT REPORT ON COTTON.
Causes Shnrp Break in New York and New
Orleans Markets.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 10. The Crop Re
porting Board of the Bureau of Statistics,
of the Department of Agriculture, today is
sued a report estimating that the total pro
duction of cotton in the United states for
1007-08 will amount to 5.581. 90S.0O0 pounds
(not Including ltnters) equivalent to 11,
678.000 bales of 500 pounds gross weight.
NEW YORK, Dec. 10. The price of cot
ton on the Cotton Exchange dropped about
50 points (half a cent a pound) this morn
ing on the Government estimate. The close

showed a net decline of 4449 points. Sales
were estimated at 6OO.O00 bales. Decem

posting of the Government's crop estimate
of 11,678.000 bales on the cotton exchange

came. In, and these eventually stopped ths
recession.

DRAWN
BY INTERIOR
Large Resources Supplied by
New York Banks.
HEAVY TRANSFERS MADE
Responsible for Active Calling of
Loans, Which Has an Adverse
Effect onStook Prices Selling
of Hills ana Reading.
NEW YORK. Dec. 10. The support of the
market, which has been persisted in for
some time past, was evidently abandoned
today, but whether voluntarily or forcibly
was not clear. There was a further calling
of loans by the banks following that of yes
terday and the call-money rate was run up
to 25 per cent, compared with a maximum
rate of 20 per cent yesterday. This had a
bad effect on speculative sentiment. The
selling converged especially on the Hill
stocks and Reading, and as these had been
picked for the most conspicuous operations
In supporting the advance, their sudden re
lapse was of marked sympathetic effect on
the whole market. Some relative resistance
was shown by the coppers.- which might be
accounted for by the large short Interests
In those stocks waiting to cover on the de- i
cllne. There was some evidence also of
direct transfer of large accounts from the
Hill stocks Into the Harrlman Pacifies.
The motive for the withdrawal of call
loan credits by the banks was. not clearly
understood and was, perhaps, of added un
favorable effect for that reason.
The publication in detail of the reports of
the New York City National banks, in re
sponse to the call of the Controller of the
Currency, revealed so heavy an impairment
of resources in the case of one or two, on
which pressure was especially severe, that
a bad Impression was caused, although the
present solvency of those banks was not
thrown open to -any doubt. Reports of ne
gotiations on foot for strengthening or con
solidating the institutions Increased the at
tention given to the subject. It was sur
mised, furthermore, that a call from the
state banking department for reports of
condition of the state banks and trist com
panies was In contemplation, and this
would naturally have the effect of prompt
ing some strengthening of their positions by
these Institutions.
The compiled digest of the showing of ths
New York City National banks was held to
confirm the claim of the large resources sup
piled by the New York banks to the Interior
during the period of strain. Of the total
increase tn deposits shown on December 3,
compared with August 22. of $76,115,963,
there is Included an increase of some $46,
833.800 In Government deposits In the clearing-house
banks, while In the Item "due to
banks." etc.. there was a decrease of $26.
240,535. Specie and legal tenders also have
actually fallen $6,268,369 In spite of the
enormous Inflow of Imported gold and the
large sums of cash transferred from the
Treasury Department to New York bank
vaults.
With this exhibit of the heavy drain on
New York, which the Interior. has made,
financial sentiment Is sensitive to the large
continuance of that drain shown In the per
sistent heavy transfers which are being
made to interior points. This demand Is
keeping up the premium 'on currency and,
was given part responsibility for the active
calling of loans by the banks today.
Bonds were 4asy. Total sales, par value,
$3,200,000. United States bonds were un
changed on call.

LIGHT TRADE IN WHEAT
CHICAGO MARKET HEAVY MOST
OF THE DAY.

Abroad and Poor Demand
by Exporters.
CHICAGO. Dec. IO. The wheat market
opened weak and with the exception of a
few slight rallies on covering by shorts con
tinued heavy all day. Trade was light and
prices fluctuated within a range of a half
cent. Severe declines at Liverpool and in
the Continental markets caused the early
weakness and later the Black export de
mand, weakness In the stock market, favor
able weather in Argentina and liberal pri
mary receipts forced prices downward. May
opened 4c lower at $1.00 1.0094. sold
between 9c and $1.004 and closed weaK
at 99!4c$1.00.
The early corn market was weak because
of lower .cables and the decline In wheat.
Later the market became firm. May opened
?4e lower at 54 94 54 94c advanced to
5555c and closed firm at 55V4c.
The oats market was weak In sympathy
with wheat, but this was partially offset by
small receipts. May opened unchanged at
53c. sold between 5294 52o and 634
33 94 c and closed at 52 74 c.
Provisions were easy at the opening, be
cause of a 10lBc decline in live hogs, but
a rally In hogs later brought about a mod
erate firmness. At the close. May pork was
up 15c. lard was 10c higher and ribs 12Mc
up.
