TIIE MORNING OREGON IAN, TUESDAY, JANUARY 28,. 1908. 15 EGGS WILL BE CHEAP This Is the Opinion of the Front-Street Trade. LOW PRICES IN THE SPRING Market In on the Downward Grade Xow, as Becelpts Are large and Retailers Only Buy v for Immediate Needs; The dealers who have been speculating In a .mall way In esfr In anticipation of cold weather have about given up the be lief that we will have any Winter, and are turning their attention now to getting rid of what they have on hand. In furthering this plan they dropped prices another cent yesterday, quoting 25 to 2 cents. Retailers, however, are willing for the Jobbers to do ill the speculating, and. therefore, are. nly buying from hand to mouth. Some of lhe Front-street firms report their receipts iwice as large as their sale's. As stocks are lecumulattng all along the street It Is evl tent that the downward course of prices !!! continue unless the weather changes Toon- " The opinion prevails that prices will be unusually low In the local market in the coming Spring and the Eastern trade has the same Idea of very low values. The latest issue of the Chicago Packer says on this subject: Already there Is considerable gossip among the egg trade, the storage ware houses and tne banks about the outlook for the coming season. To a man everybody t predicts that esgs will go in at a lower price this year than for several years past. It Is rumored here that a coterie of bankers have already come to a practical agreement that 3 per case will be the outside price ad vantcd on eggs this season and only to A-1 customers at that. Some incline to believe that somothlng like 2.r0 will perhaps be nearer the average advance. As a general proposition storage eggs appear to have go- on the list of -bad speculative com modities' with the banks, and while the banks profess to never have lost any large amounts of money in financing the egg deal, the fact remains true that they have lost a great deal of sleep and have often been worried nearly to death over the loans made to certain clients. . ... On the other hand, it is believed that there will be considerable Idle capital put on the market in the near future, and if there is any difficulty In getting aJl money invested that will be on the hands of the banks It Is the Idea of some few people In the trade that advances on storage eggs will probably not be so hard to get, even if large figure Is not advanced. Altogether, prospects for the coming egg season Indicate that there will be an enorm ous production again, and reports at the present time certainly do not tend to convey the Impression that there will be any scarcity of laying hens. Many new terri tories whore eggs have not been produced in commercial quantities heretofore have been opened up. and with Improved trans portation facilities these stocks enn all be transported from the furtherest point West to the furtherest point Kast or stopped off to be put in storage at intermediate, points.

BRISK RISE IN LIST Unf avo Have rable Developments Been Discounted. GOOD DEMAND FOR STOCKS Northern Pacific Advanced on As sertions of Coming Extra Divi dend Exports At Gold May Be Small. NSW YORK. Jan. 27. Price rose briskly In today's i stock market In face of several happenings that have been dreaded by the rpeculatlve element for some time, thus pre senting one of the apparent contradictions which confuse observation of the course of speculative markets. There v.-aa undoubt edly large selling- on the short side of the market last week, when rumors began to gain circulation of an unfavorable turn in the affairs of the National Bank of North America and there was buying- by the shorts to cover today with the announcement of a receivership for that tlank In a profit-taking movement. A short interest had aUo been built . ud in anticipation of the announce ment at Washington of the plans for a Government suit to annul the Harrlman rail road merger. The harmful effect of neither of these events was as great as had been apprehended, and no appreciable liquida tion was Induced by them to help the shorts in securing stocks to fill their short contracts. There was another kind of demand in cited by the definite elimination of these unfavorable factors from the market and which was encouraged by the small effect which they had on sentiment. The formu lation of the rumors that have been cur rent regarding the banking situation Into the official announcement concerning the Bank of North America caused a feeling of relief and the whole situation was felt to be bettered. Another influence in strengthening confidence In the banking situation as a whole. Is the prospect that by next week the condition of the trust com panies and state banks In New York will be the subject of a weekly statement to the State Banking Department and thus remove once and for all the obscurity and uncer tainty which have surrounded the actual financial position in New York by reason of the growing inadequacy of the Clears Ins-House bank statement to reflect fully the condition a a whole. The flood of cash which U now flowing into New York will also facilitate the estab lishment of the reserves of trust compa nies which are contemplated in bringing those institutions into line with the gen eral banking requirements. Today's state ment of the united states Treasury opera tions showed deposits in National banks reduced -to $243,126,233, the reduction from the maximum amount of the deposits after the panic having reached $16,8ttS,036. These two movements tend to take ud the slack In the money supplies and to avert an out ward movement of gold. The heavy re demptions thus far this month have reached the sum of s31.!W1.001 and deposits of law ful money for retirement of circulation in the same time amount to S6.Gyi.tt4. tor eign exchange here continued to advance today and bankers look for some outward movement of gold, which is likely to be re stricted by the limiting forces referred to. The advance in Northern Facinc was an Important sustaining influence and assertions of a coming extra disbursement on mat stock were revived. St. Paul was strong in connection with reports of ranid prog ress In the construction of its Pacific Coast extension. A large grain movement In the Northwest was a factor of stocks of all tne railroads in that region. There was a vigor ous rebound In American Smelting from Its recent acute depression. Professional profit-taking In the latter part of tne aaj greatly reduced the extreme gains and th closing tone was heavy. - The bond market gave more empnatic response to the growing abundance of loan able funds than has yet seen apparent in that department and the tone was fairly buoyant. Total sales, par value, 56.158.00o. United States 2s declined k per cent on call. CLOSINO STOCK QUOTATIONS. Closing Sales. High. Low. Bid.
