Off) rial Estimate Shows Increase In Corn and Praa. Tha figures compiled by the statistics com mittee of the National Canners" Association, and Just made public through Frank E. Oaxrall. secretary of the association, show totals on tomatoes, corn and peas some what In excess of the highest estimates made) by private Individuals. The total on tomatoes Is given at 11.479.000 cases: that on corn. .77.00O cases, and 5.577.000 cases of canned peas. The statistics cover the three great staples In vegetables, and It la assumed that the figures compiled show the results approximately correct. Tha pack of tomatoes In 107 waa esti mated on good authority as 11,600.000 cases. .This would Indicate that there was a falling off for tha year 10S of about 3.000.000 cases. Tha pack of corn In 1907 waa estimated at close to 0.(50,000 cases tn round numbers. Here the figures for 1(01 show a little Increase. The pack of peas was estimated at 4.300,000 cases In 10T. Last year's total runs considerably over tha previous figures. The associa tion's estimates for 1908 are as follows: NO ONIONS FOR EARLY 8II1PMEVT Stock Will No Bo Ready to More for Two Weeks After Thaw Curare. Members of the Confederated Onion Grow ers' Association, who were In the city yes terday, stated that they would have no ontorjs to offer for at least 15 days) after the weather moderates, as It will take that long after they thaw out before they harden suf dcletrtly to be handled. No details were received as to tha quantity damaged, but It is known that a good many onions were grosen In different parts) of the Valley. Nothing Is doing In potatoes. In a shipping way. There la a good San Francisco potato market now. but no possibility of getting stock to ship. It will probably be two weeks after the cold spell is over before shipments saa be made from here. lOCAL CABBAGE BROUGHT IN. Vegetables of All Kinds Are tn Very Strong Demand. Aa has been tha case since the weather turned cold, the demand f.r vegetables of all kinds was good. Among yesterday s re ceipt waa a email quantity of local cabbage In very fair condition. Cabbage, aold freely at 2 cents, potatoes were In demand at gV.60 and onions sold at L75ff2. while In aome Instances fancy onions brought as high as S2-S0. Sack vegetable of all kinds, es pecially carrots, were In strong demand, and parsnips were entirely cleaned up. In tha fruit line the only Inquiry waa for apples. A car of orange arrived and two or (Area cara of bananas are due today. BUTTER IS TWO CENTS HIGHER. City Creameries Advance Their Quotation to S cents. City creameries yesterday advanced th price of th best grade of butter 2 coats to go cents. This Is th highest butter prlos quoted tn this market In many years and Is justified by the shortage that now exleta. oc casioned by th cold wave. The supply of cream has fallen off heavily since the snow appeared and will be still further reduced 4f the lower river Is closed. Oregon eggs sold readily at 60 cents. The receipts are at a minimum. ,A more liberal supply would be hard to mov at thla price. Poultry arrivals were good, considering the weather, and everything cleaned up at firm price. - POTATOES IN THE CN1TEP STATES. Government Figures on the Total Yield Pa cific Coast Production.

DEMAND ONLY AT DECLINES Sentiment Among Professional Op erators Is Not Optimistic For eign Markets Do Not Respond to Austrian Settlement. NEW YORK. Jan. 18. Tha stock market today waa of much the same character as yesterday Periods of moderate strength and weakness alternated and the tone v.a spotty arid Irregular at all times. There waa no effective demand In evidence, such as would mark an aggresslv accumulation. but evidence of sorne support at a ueuun point on a decline gave the bears warning of obstacles to be enoountered In too bold n attack on values. Wall this support appeared on the declines, any upard move ment was likely to bring selling orders Into the market. The current supposition of the extension of the short Interest In the last few days found no signs of uneasiness on the part of the uncovered bears to cor rr.bora.te It. although part of the buying on declines was attributed to covering oper ations by bears. The sentiment among the professional operators was not optimistic and the events of the day, while not of great importance, were construed unfavorably. The response of foreign markets to the news of the set tlement between Austria-Hungary ana lur ksv was a disanuolnt men t. A decline in private discounts In Paris and Berlin, and a fall In the London price oi goia reflections of the rolaxed tension of the situ ation. London discounts, however, con tinued to advance and foreign stock mar kets did not retain the benent first shown on the news. The question was left open whether the financial prospect Is sufficiently cleared to obviate the call for an advance in the Bank of England official rate of dis count tomorrow. The date for the Russian loan Issue was fixed for January 22. Slock Exchange members on the floor engaged in some discussion of the trade prospects In this country and were inclined to give ear to views expressing disappoint ment over the rate of business Improvement. Intimations were heard of a probable dis appointing showing in the forthcoming quarterly report of the United States Steel Cotporatlon and the January receipts were aald to be disappointing. The rate at which money Is coming back from the country Into bank reserves Is a disquieting evidence of a lack of demand for it In circulation. Besides the shipments of currency by express from the Interior, the operations of the Treasury Department reflect the heavy gravitation of bank notes back toward their source of Issue. Current redemptions of bank notes by the United States Treasury for the first 12 days of January reached the formidable total of $20,000,000 and for several days past have run from $2.0o0.000 to $2,500,000. This rate of reflex approaches. If It does not equal, that which 6et in early last year, when money markets first began to become nor mal, hoarded cash began to come out and the lessened trade activity began to .pile up Idle reserves In the banks Much speculative sentiment is tinged with these views. Minor factors of an unfavor able character have Increased Influence and general conditions have the promising hue overcast. The coming tariff controversy and possibility of Its paralyzing effect on vari ous lines of industry come Into consldor atlon. The testimony in the Government suit against the Harrlman merger and against the Standard Oil Company and the passage between the New York Traction Company receivers and the Public Service Commission stir up the apprehension of speculators over the possibility of a decisive occurrence un favorable to corporation Interests. - The closing of the market, while a brisk rally waa in progress, again left the day's cb.al.gcs small.

Financial difficulties Involving an Influential grain concern at Du luth caused some algns of demoralization In the wheat pit at the opening, owing to the selling out of a long line of wheat held by that firm. Local bears took advantage of the situation and pounded the market vigorously the first quarter of an hour, but were unable to force prices below the open ing level, which was from He above to 4,(jc below the previous close. The at tempt was made futile by the support given the market by the principal bulls, who took all offerings. The market continued somewhat nervous the first half of the day. but the liberal purchasers of the big holders gradually started covering by shorts, which eventually resulted In sharp upturns In the price of all deliveries. May option advanced 2 cents and the more distant deliveries rose 1 to mc The smallness of primary receipts, the total arrivals being the smallest of the crop, aided the bulls In bringing about the rally. A better demand for cash wheat also had a strengthening Influence. The market closed strong, with prices at tho top. Una! quotations on May being $1.06, and on July 07Vic.
