TJf-2 MORNING OREGOXI AX, SATURDAY, JANUARY 23, 190S. 1? TIN MARKET ACTIVE Canners Buying for Their Sea son's Requirements. PRESENT PRICE VERY LOW Indications Point to Higher Values Prevailing Later Range of Quo tations In Past Five Years. Advance In Onions. Much Interest is given to the tin maf 'ket at the present time, as canners are en trased In laying In their season's aupply. Buying la fairly active, compelled by the necessities of canners to provide for March April deliveries, which means reasonably prompt shipment from Singapore. Aa com pared with the quotations of a year ago, prices of pig tin are exceedingly low. In fact, thta article has not been so cheap since the Summer of 1904. The quotation yesterday wai 27 X cents, while a year ago It was 2 cents. It la not safe to fore cast the future of the market, but from present Indications It may be Bald the prospects favor higher rather than lower values. The average monthly prices of tin In the last five yeara have been as follows: Month 180T. 19WJ. 1905. 1904. 190.1.

Sules Mude Yesterday at S2.50 Views of W. I. Swank. Wires from San Francisco yesterday re ported the onion market strong and advanc ing with quotations ranging from $2.75 to S2.90. The market here was very firm, but not active. Some sales at $2.50 were re ported. W. I. Swank, a leading onion buyer, says the growers will find next month the best time to sell. "Stocks In Oregon are mucTi reduced," he said yesterday. "Only about 80 cars are un told and 25 are in the hands of dealers. The market Is strong now and will continue so unless Kaatern onions are brought In heavily. The season will last for 60 days yet. but the growers will find that February will bo the best time to sell. Soma orders have been placed for Japanese onions, which will arrive here In March and will probably be taken for the Alaska trade. These Jap anese onions can be laid down here at a cost of about $2 75 to $3 duty paid." Potatoes are moving more freely, as there Is a good demand and farmers are disposed to accept the current prices, which are 75 cents for the best offerings down to 50 cents for ordinary grades. BUTTER GETTING READY TO DROP. Decline on Front street May Affect the Entire Market. A decline In the butter market seems to be Imminent. The weak feature of the situa tion la the oversupply on Front street. With the local demand slow and no shipping In quiry. It looka aa If the only solution can be a sharp reduction la price of outside creamery grades, probably to a 30-ccnt basis for all except a few brands. Tha city cream oiy market, which le none too Arm, notwith standing a small quantity of the local pro duct held above the current market price, is likely to be affected by the proposed de cline on Front street. Bggs are very weak and slow of sale. Sin gle caws are offered at 27ft cents, but this price Is generally shaded on lota. The tone of the poultry market is Im proved, but not enough yet to affect prices. The Indications, however, point to some ad vance In tho coming week. Four Can of Unsold Oranges. A car of celery, which came In in poor condition, was the - only carlot arrival on Front street yesterday. The Southern celery market Is advancing, but prices are easier here because of the nature of the stuff of fering. The present condition of the orange market Is Indicated by the presence of four cars of California oranges unsold on the track, all high-class fruit. The demand on Front street is for the cheaper grades. When Weak said Inactive. The wheat market was reported very slow yesterday and weaker. In view of the fur ther decline In the European market, local buyers reduced their prices 1 cent. PORTLAND QTJOTATlOJrS. Grain, Flour, Feed. Kte. WHEAT Club, S4q; blues! em, ggc; Val ley.

The extreme dull ness, approaching at times almost stagna tion, of todays stock market was partly at trihntnhiA to thi, inclement weather. Even the Coalers, which have declined recently on the report of the poor Business oy open Winter, failed to secure an advantage from the wintry outnreaic ana were, m fact, among the leaders of the depression. Another note Issue was reported today by the Missouri Pacific to run two yearB ana to bear 6 per cent for the purpose of pro viding means to take up notes for $6,000,000 maturing In April. ' The known movements or money ior wio week, according to the estimate of the most trustworthy authorities. Indicate a gain in cash by the banks of about $ia,uw. 000. Last Autumn's $100,000,000 of gold Imports and $54,000,000 of bank note - ex pansion, have now resulted In a plethoric condition In the money market with the turning back of the sums then driven into hoarding by the panic. Money continued to press on the market for call loans on ac count of both local ana out-or-iown oanxa today, and no better rate than a per cent could be procured for it. Rates for time loans also continued to yield and the de mand for mercantile paper to broaden. The withdrawal of Treasury deposits from the New York banks has begun without cheek ing the downward tendency of money rates. notwitnstanaing me aecuning rates ior money abroad. (Speculative operations of the larger class are on an insignificant scale. Two events which are supposed to be awaited as neces sary preliminaries to any new speculative stands are the quarterly report of the Lnlted states steel Corporation next Tues day and the complexion of proposed prose cution by the Government against the Har rlman railroad merger.

REPORTS ARE MIXED Some Plants" Have Resumed; but Many Are Still Idle. COLLECTIONS ARE BETTER General Business Continues to Re flect the Restricted Purchasing Power of Unemployed Thou sands Hides Are Firmer. NEW YORK. Jan. 24. R. G. Dun ft Co.' weekly review of trade tomorrow will say: More manufacturing plants have resumed and money Is abundant at easy terms, but business feels the weakened purchasing power of the thousands still unemployed. Buyers arrived in large numbers In the local Job bing dry goods market, placing fair orders at the lowest prices named on some descrip tions, and this forward business was also liberal at other large centers. Mercantile collections continue to improve, although backward at many points. Indus trial news was slightly more encouraging on the whole, but there is much idle machinery and the local coal output has been curtailed on that account, together with the tardiness of Winter. A little better demand is noted for pro ducts of Iron and steel, and more plants have resumed, until, lt is probable that one-half the capacity Is in ogantion. Results thus tar have been accomplished without material con cessions in prices. Building operations . are resuming to some extent. Structural steel was also taken for railway bridges. A better tone is recorded In the hide mar ket, ' tanners exhibiting more Interest and a substantial volume of business was trans acted. COMMODITY PRICES MOVE DOWNWARD. Wholesale Trade, as a Whole. Is Slow to Onen. NEW YORK, Jan. 24. Bradstreefs will tomorrow say: Trade and industry are still quiet, com modity prices have quite generally moved downward, collections are backward, an in creased quantity of railroad equipment is re ported idle, less satisfactory reports as to demand come from the iron and steel and coal Industries and an increased dlspositton is noted to discuss wage reductions ss an offset to restricted production. Wholesale trade, as a whole, is slow to open. Travelers on the road report buying to be of a fllling-in character, sufficient .mere ly to replace broken stocks, and a slow late opening of Spring trade Is looked for. Re ports aa to collections indicate slowness in meeting engagements, and mention is made of numerous extensions being asked and granted. There are a number of reports of resump tion, of increased time in various industries. but these are largely offset, on the whole. by restriction in other lines. Some metal working industries are running fuller and lumber mills at the South and on tha Pacific Coast are reported resuming.
