THE 3I0RXIX6 OREGONIAX, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 25, 1908. GREAT N AD I Prune Holders Trying to Stim ulate Trade. LOWER OFFERS ON COAST Oregon ItaliansGolng Into Consamp. tion More Freely in the Kiisl, but Prices Show 'o Im provement Yet. According to word received from the Kaft, Oregon Italian prunes are beginning to go Into consumption a little more freely, but there is no improvement in prices. Holders In this stale. It Is reported, are seeking business In forward shipments on a 24 -cent bag basis, but though not much stock remains, the demand Is light. In California, the concessionary spirit is mors marked and It has resulted In the closing of some deals with Eastern buyers, particularly In so-called outside fruit, but there has not been enough business offered to satisfy Belters, and they are reaching out for more, though to got It they have to make a deeper cut In prices. A little while ago. In consideration of the strong statisti cal situation, holders of prunes In the f-nnta Clara Valley were disposed to hold out for a 4c basis on the four sizes f. o. b. Coast in bags, hut since then sales have been made on 35e f. o. b. basis. At first sellers were inclined to make that price on the more plentiful sizes, but now it Is said that anything, except 00s, which size ap pears to be exhausted, can be had on that basis and on a firm offer possibly a shade less. Sales of one or two cars of Sonoma fruit are reported at SVic f. o. b. bag basis and some goods from other outside points have sold on a S'ic f. o. b. basis. It would appear that holders of prunes aie willing to make concessions now In order to stimulate buying, the belief being that once Jobbers' come Into the market there will be an immediate Improvement in the situation. OREGON HOP MARKET STAGNANT. No Demand for Spot Goods or Contracts. Conditions in the East. The hop market has again flattened out and no business In spot goods or contracts is reported. The demand for contracts has been lighter than usual this season and in view of the prohibition agitation, dealers tlnd it almost impossible to Interest brewers in term business at the present time. The export demand seems to have been satis fled temoorarily. .Market comll lions in the New Tork Mip sections are reported by papers of that state: Continued buying at former prices tells the tale on our local market. There is no perceptible change In tho demand for the hops or the price paid whenever they can be secured. The weaker feeling reported in other places has not been felt here, and while there is not a brisk trade there is something doing all the time. Waterville Times Within the past week there has been con siderable stir In the local hop market and Borst & Hermann have purchased something like 300 bales of hops at prices ranging from 7 to 12 cents. T. B. Dornett. of Coblesklll. purchased about 200 bales, paying from 10 to cents. Mlddleburg News. The local market has been rather Quiet the past week. Only the lower quality of hops now remain in growers' hands, and they are balng gradually disposed of at prices ranging from 9 to 12 cents. Coopers town Journal. FIRMER FEELING JN. WHEAT MARKET. No New Developments (Ue Export Flour Trade. The sharp advance yesterday in foreign and Eastern wheat markets is encourag ing to holders here, but has not yet re sulted in any advance In local prices, and trading in the Northwest continues light. Tho other cereals are also dull. Beyond the recent sales of flour to North China and Siberia, no new business ox an export nature has developed. Advices from Sf.uth China ports and Japan offer no en couragement for hope of an early resump tion of business. Hongkong dealers at last accounts were very liberally stocked. The dullness of the Japanese market appears to be largely the result of financial con ditions in the Island, as their purchases of both flour and wheat this season have been much smaller than usual. CALIFORNIA VEGETABLES HIGHER. Jersey Inland Celery Among the Arrivals Apples From Hood River, Among the produce receipts on the street were a car of cauliflower and a mixed car of vegetables, the latter including Jersey Island celery, which was quoted firm at $4.75. Small California vegetables of all kinds were firm and most of them higher. Local hothouse lettuce is a drug on th market. A car of sweet potatoes, said to be the best of the season, is selling. Four cars of oranges came in. for which the demand was fair. Among the arplt receipts was a shipment of Newtowns, Red Cheeks and Ortleys from Hood River, quoted at $3 to $5. Cheaper grades of apples wet in good suppy.

The little city business was mostly done around 20 cents, but the lowet figure was necessary to secure outside trade. Poultry receipts were light, the demand small, and prices -were unchanged.

SPECULATORS ARE WAITING They Want to See Kvidenccs, of an Actual Revival of Industrial Activity Before Making Commitments. NEW TORK. Feb. 24. There was hardly enough motive power In the stock market to day to cause any defined current in the price movement. Only about half a dozen stocks were traded In to the extent off more than a few tiundred shfircs. Contending parties among the room traders made the varying fluctuations in these few stocks. As for any outside interest in the market, either in the way of speculative ventures, investment demand, or of marketing of hold ings, the situation was one of profound ne glect. The speculative attitude evidently is one of waiting for developments. The change in conditions, whether In the country's trade for investment. Is ricnecterl to revive the action of the securities market. Sentiment is not wholly pessimistic in the financial district in that there is a hopefulness preva lent that the limit of actual contraction in business has been touched. The arrest of the heavy accumulation of idle freight cars, resumption in some directions of work by idle factories, a better showing of bank clearings compared with last year's levels than for a time and other Indexes are regarded as evidence of check to the contraction. But of actual revival of indus try there is not yet sufficient sign to prompt any speculative commitments looking to higher values. Fear of a- resumption at intervals and in special securities of the kind of forced liquidation which spotted last woek's market is an additional deter rent. The covering of shorts in the mar ket preliminary to last week's holiday seemed to exhaust the outstanding open ac counts in the market. Efforts were made to extend the upward movement frnn this cause today. The ef fort was conVncd to the coppers. Reading and the Pacifies. The movement in the coppers was hampered by a renewed decline in price of copper w-arrants in the London market and by discouraging reports from the trade as to accumulation of stocks and continued sluggishness of demand. There were persistent reports also of instability In the Iron market, although explanations w-ere offered on behalf of the principal pro ducers that cutting of prices was confined to smaller Interests and to an amount of sales that made a negligible quantity. The United States Steel stocks, however, were somewhat affected by the reports and their depression interrupted the slow advance In other stocks. Railroad traffic officials had little change in conditions to report. Slight Increases in movements of merchandise In less than carload lots were contrasted with a falling on in the grain movement, the decline In prices of grain leading apparently to less ened offerings. A sharp rebound In wheat prices also was the result of this. A snow storm, while Interrupting traffic to some ex tent, was considered beneficial to wheat crop prospects by providing a covering for the Winter-sown grain. London talked of a probable coming re duction in the Bank of England discount rate and the private discount rate declined at Berlin, while Paris talks of the present capital situation there as one of redund ancy. There were cable .reports of the presence in foreign centers of agents seek ing to find a market for intended new American corporation securities. Arbitrage brokers for foreign commission houses, how ever, sold stocks on balance in this mar ket. Sterling exchange rates, nevertheless, receded considerably below last week's level. The subtreasury has taken up some large sums from the money market in the new banking week and the explanation is made that return of Government deposits has been made by some of the bankB. voluntarily, on account of the cheapness - of money at the present time. New York banks also are making payments to the subtreasury on be half of Interior correspondents for retire ment of circulation. Bonds were heavy and duJ4. Total sales, j.ar value, $2,0S0,000. .United States bonds were unchanged on call. CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS. Closing Sales. Hlah. Low. Hid.

Mail for Pacific Warships. Owing to the fact that mall for the war vessels In the Pacific is being in cluded with mail for San Francisco, thereby causing inconvenience and delay, Instructions have been issued by the Superintendent of the Railway Mail Service at San Francisco that all malls addressed to naval vessels .in the Pacific must be Included with mail for the State of California, but railway postofflces are to make up matter for war vessels in separate packages and sacks and label the same "Pacific Station, via San Fran cisco, Cal." As the volume of this mail will greatly Increase as the fleet ap proaches San Francisco, It is very neces sary that proper preparation of the same should receive particular attention. Streetcar Company Denies Blame. The Portland Railway, Light & Power Company has Hied an answer to the dam age suit of James Wilson, in the Circuit Court.

The answer says that when the car reached Chapman street a num ber of Multnomah athletes rushed out and tried to alight. The car was In mo tion. Wilson was crowded off the step, being unable to hold to the brass han dles. The company asserts that it is not to blame for Wilson's injuries. Olympia Beer. "It's the water."

SHARP GAIN AT CHICAGO Expectation of Decreased Shipments From Argentina the Loading Bullish Factor American Vis ible Shows Bis lteduction. CHICAGO, Feb. 24.- Wheat opened ac tive and strong because of an advance of more than 2 pence at Liverpool, which was based upon the expectation of decreased shipments from Argentina. A large de crease in the visible supply steadied the market at the advance. A reaction set In later because prices for cash wheat did not follow the advance. Selling pressure was not heavy, however, at any time during the day. The foreign statistics were bearish and Included an increase of 4,208.000 bush els in the visible Bupply of breadstuffs on ocean passage, bringing, tha total to 54, 624,000 bushels, the greatest quantity ever recorded. The strength of the market abroad, however, offset ail bearish Influ ences. The close was strong. May wheat opened Te5llo higher at 94149414c, sold between 9H951ic and closed at 94c, 114 c higher. Corn was firm at the opening, partly in sympathy with wheat and also because of small local receipts and unsettled weather in the corn belt. Later prices eased off some what on offerings of cash corn and the ex pectation of increased deliveries within a few days. The close was steady. May closed unchanged at 60Hc. December deliveries of oat were easy to day, while the May option showed con siderable strength. The market was largely Influenced by wheat and corn, but the ex pectation of large deliveries caused an easier tone at the close. May closed at 52i52ic. Provisions were firm all day. despite a larger run of hogs here and at "Western packing centers offerings -were limited and shorts were good buyers.

VEHICLE MEASURE VETOED Council May Pass Iiicens Ordi nance Over Lane's Head. Mayor Lane yesterday vetoed the ve hicle tax ordinance, which was passed at the last session of the Council. Tomor row afternoon, when the Council assem bles, a fight to pass the ordinance over his veto will take place, with Council man Menefee, its author, leading for its passage, and Councilman Kellaher lead ing the opposition. It was freely pre dicted after its passage that the Mayor would veto the measure. Mayor Lane, In vetoing the ordinance, said: To the Honorable City Council Gentlemen: X hereby return ordinance No. 17.414 Dot ap proved. This Is an ordinance entitled an or dinance to license vehicle and repealing ordinance No. 13,338, an ordinance to license vehlclea. In respect to this ordinance I have to say that many objections have been urged against It by different persons. It Is not clear if lt became a law that lt would not operate to fix a tax upon the wagons of all farmers coming Into this city to sell their produce, a condition of affairs which would work. & great hardship to them and to the city as well. It exempts fn specific terms all 'vehicles1 used for pleasure only upon the on hand, while upon the other hand It fixes a direct tax upon every person who usee a vehicle of any sort as a means to gain a livelihood for himself and family, which In itself is enough to condemn It. For these and other reasons which are obvious I return the or dinance not approved. Respect fuly, HARRY LAN HI Mayor. DAILY CITY STATISTICS Births.
