"'IE 3iORXIXG OREGOXIAN. WEDNESDAY, MARCH IS, 190s. 15 IMPORTING OF MCE Supplies in Java Will Ee Drawn Upon. STOCKS LOW IN THE SOUTH Market Has a General Vpward Ten dency Active Demand for Freh Produce Movement to Re duce the Hop Acreage. More interest attaches to the rice market than to any other of the staple grocery lines, as this la the only commodity that shows at the present time a general upward tendency throughout the country. The strength of the market Is due to the scarcity of rice in the South. Not enough domeelc Tic la left to supply the trade's demands and Importations from Java will be resorted to. Advices from the South say the heaviest orders are coming from the Pacific Ceat States and other sections of the West, and that those buyers are bidding; higher prioes than th4 Kastem trade. The 'Southern view of the rice situation Is expressed In the following; Lake Charges letter to the Bice Industry: The supply of clean rice In the hands of the mills of Louisiana and Texas Is very small. and the bulk of It rests with less than one dozen laiae dealers. The demand has not been as active in years, and a gen eral good feeling exists between both buyer and seller. Letters fmm Eastern and West ern brokers are calling for samples, and goods are being accepted as fast an they are offered. Considering some of the hard years tho millers have recently experienced in marketing the crop, the present demand Is a little out of the ordinary. Brewers rice, hran and polish have all been con tracted for and are very hard to procure. More than a dozen of the Louisiana and Texas mills have closed down for the sea son. Dan Talmage Rons Company, In. thielr latest circular, say the demand in the "East and South continues strong with prices firm all along the line. Stocks In the Sooth are much reduced and preparations for. planting are under -way with larger seed re quirements than usual. Cables and corre spondence to Talmag'e from abroad note an active demand for cleaned rice and a hard er tone. LOCAL' BVTVI.T OF BCTTKR IS SMALL Market Would Be Firm, hot for Cheapnrns of California. If It were not for the low price of butter in California. th local butter market mljfht be called firm. A flrM-claes demand ejdnts and the make of the city creamertes and receipts from the Valley clean up each day without difficulty. The cheapness of tfie Pun Francisco market, however, acta as a weight on the local market. As long as there Is no further decline in the South, prices will hold steady here until the home supply lm-reases. Very little California bat ter has been put on sale so far. A smaUl quantity was offered yesterday at censts. City creamery holds at ,10 cents and country creamery brands at 2T hi fW cents. Eggs are arriving freely on Front rtreet. hut move very slowly. Sixteen cents was again quoted on single cases, but sates of round lots at 1.1 centa were reported. Receipts of poultry of all kinds were Ifeght and the demand was slow. Prices of hens, Springs and other lines were unchanged. flOOD TRATK TV GREKN FRO DUCK. Karly California Truck Clean Cp WU. Oranges Are Firm. The brighter weather stimulated the de mand for frulta nnd vegetable yes ten-Stay. A well assorted supply of green truck was on hand, part of whlcrh was received on the , steamer. A car of fancy Los Angeles cab bage also arrived. Cauliflower is rather scarce on the street and flrmly quoted.- As paragus, rhubarb and other early ve got aides are gradually declining In price. Two cars of oranges were received and good progress was made in cleaning tlvrm up. The orange market is very firm In California and an advance. Is expected here In a short time. Apples, were in fair supply and generally quoted at good prices. iour cars of bananas are due today. For Reduction of Hop Act cage. The hop market lacked interest ycjtertay. A f e w emal 1 tranac t ions w ere re ported a t the former range of prices, but most of . the buyers who made the active market last week wers Idle. , it Is understood that tho Oregon, Wash ington and California organizers of the Pa cific Coaet Hopgrowera L'nion will hoM a meeting In this city on March :i0 for, the purpose of taking steps to bring about a general reduction of hoy acreage on the Pa cific Coaet.

RUMORS OF DEALS Copper Stocks Lifted at New York. FOLLOW RISE IN METAL General Market Is Irregular, but Tendency of Prices Is Upward. - Speculation as to the Course of Money Supplies. NEW YORK, March 17. Tlere was same further speculative liquidation going on in the stock market today as a natural con sequence to the active selling to that end In progress at the end of the previous day. The volume of the market diminished con siderably and the tightening of the selling pressure before the end of the day opened the way to an irregular recovery. The rally was not entirely satisfactory to speculative interests and the later market fell into dull ness and hesitation. The action of the Amalgamated Copper was of large Influence in the general course of the market and the evidence of support In that stock helped the recovery, just as it. sudden break the afternoon before had proved disconcerting to sentiment. The de cline was accompanied by the expressed sup position that another mossage waa soon to come from the President contalnlnf a severe arraignment of corporations and capitalists, but was checked by the later assumption that the expected message was to be mild in terms and calculated to assuage the dread of aeeurity holders. The passage of the Tillman resolution by the Senate at Wash ington, providing for an investigation as to the extent to which National loans fester speculation In stocks, had a somewhat dis quieting effect and was placed In the gen eral category of Influences hostile to Wall street, which are complained of m the financial district as representing a prevailing disposition of the times. While the price movement was downward, attention was paid to news Items of a tenor unfavorable to the Idea of business revival. Reduction of wages among eotton-mllt work ers was an instance, as was also the report of labor difficulties on the Denver & Rio Grande. A projected prosecution against the Chesapeake & Ohio kept alive the in fluence of yesterday's Superme Court de cision In the paeking-hcruse discrimination cases. Yesterday's passing of the Crucible Steel preferred dividend was supplemented by some reports from the Pittsburg district alleging renewed decline In the rate of activity In the steel trade for the first half of March. Another rise In the' price of copper in London was an aid to the making of higher prices for the copper securities, although Its effectiveness today was In contrast with Its lack of Influence yesterday to check the de cline. There was a reappearance of "deal" rumors in connection with the recovery of prices, affecting supposed further combina tions of copper interests and also plans of readjustment among the Harrlman proper ties. Conjectures In which the trading ele ment showed the greatest Interest, however, had to do with the course of the money supplies which were Instrumental In last week's rise in stocks and the firm intentions of those wielding this influential instrument. The late tone was considerably unsettled by doubts on this question, but last prices were not widely below the best. Bonds were steady. Total sales, par value, $2.824 000.
