There are only about 8WO bales of the l&fS
crop remaining !n first hands. A considerable
quantity Is held In the state by dealers and
speculators, but the uncertainty as to the
flgur niakoa It difficult to form an estimate
of the yield las year.
The market presents no new feature.
There baa been an almost entire absence of
business since the first of the month, except
an occasional transaction between dealers.
The latter half of the month, is likely to show
more activity. It may be that the present
walttr.s; attitude of buyers is due to a belief
that by walttnf they can make their Feb
ruary shipments on a lower basis of eost.
The pane In the market, however, has not
yet developed any stuns of weakness In taold
r. A message from Salem that Joseph Harrts
hti bouitht 52 ba'.cs from Lachmund A Co.
at H'4 cents in the only report of busi
ness done In spot bops during the day. Will
iam Brown A Co. are reported to have con
tracted for 40.000 pounds of the 1309 crop
at 93 cent.
Contracts made with a numbor of Clack
'mns County growers by T. Rosenfeld A
Co.. of New Tork. have been tiled with the
recorder at Oregon City. They are for an
aggregate of $5.0o pounds and are for a
term of three years. 10 cents being the

FANCY PRICF.S ASKED FOR WHEAT
Remaining Supplies Are In Strong Hands.
More Wanted tor Oats.
The tone of the wheat market Is excited
and holders are demanding fancy prices.
An occasional shIb at some interior point is
reported, but there is little doing at tide
water. Ip to $1.12 is reported otTered here
for bluestem. but what is left is In strong
hands and probably $1.15 would not tempt
i he hol lers to let go. A sale of bluestem
at I.i.r at Walla Walla was announced
yesterday. Club wheat and the other grades
are also "strongly held.
Offerings of oats are so small that trad
ing in tills market has practically ceased.
Some holders of oats were asking SXtl yes
terday. The barley market was quiet.

Big Miscellaneous Shipment Coming From
the South.
The famine that has existed tn the fresh
produce market for several days past will
be rellerved this morning by the rrlval
of a tralnload of fruits and vegetables from
California. These are the shipments that
were held up by the washouts on the rail
roads. In the lot will be four cars of
bananas and supplies of oranges, celery,
cauliflower, cabbage, sweet potatoese and
small vegetables of all kinds. As the mar
ket Is practically bare of everything In
this line the big shipment will bo handled
wlfhout disturbing prices.
Potato buying was not very active yes
terday. Some of the dealers had advices
of an easier market at San Francisco and
were not disposed to operate. The busi
ness that was transacted was at former
prices.
Kgg Market Is Steady.
Tho tone of the egg market waa steady
with most of the business done at 40 cents.

Better Demand in the General
Stock List.
LACK OF SELLING PRESSURE
No Further Liquidation Because of
the California Anti-Japanese
Agitation Railroad TraT-
fie Falls Off.-
NEW TORK. Feb. . The source of th-e
strength In the stock market today was
traceable apparently to operations to cover
short contracts put out last week- The
movement was distinguished by a sub
sidence of the special advances In Indi
vidual stocks. On the other hand, the gen
eral list came In for more active buying
demand today.
The prospects of action by the California
Legislature on the question of Japanese
children In the public schools In opposition
to the advice of the National Executive
was reported more likely than at the close
of last waek. The considerable selling of
stocks on Saturday on account of this
factor, evidently, was for the account of
the professional bears and their demand to
cover today did not meet any large liqui
dation from the same cause. ,
The market was lethargic for the most
part. The neglect of the market Is its
most conspicuous feature at present. The
fact of the absence from Wall street of
sonw of the most conspicuous figures In
the financial world plays a part in this.
It is suspected also that some effect of re
pression Is due to the pending operations
of Governor Hughes' commission, which
has now arrived at a consideration of the
stock exchango after having traversed the
held of commercial exchanges.
Railroad traftic officials bear out the
testimony of other authorities as to the
halting tendency of business, the freight
movement, according to thlr evidence,
having fallen oft considerably from the De
cember level. The week's traffic statistics
showed a rotable decline in the grain
movement.
The formulation of t,he demands to be
made by the anthracite miners in the con
vention of the United Mineworkers outlined
the nature of the negotiations that must
bo gone through to arrive at an' agreement
for the coming April. The coalers shared
In the general firmness of the market.
The publication of a statement of earn
ings of the American Smelting & Refining
Company for the half year caused a. rise
In that stock. Amalgamated Copuor showed
its usual sympathy in spite of another mark
ing down of quotations for copper at the
New York Metal Exchange. Rumors per
sisted of coming developments concerning
the Gould group, but no authentic informa
tion was forthcoming.

HIGHMARKFORYEAH
May Wheat Goes to $1.11 3-4
at Chicago.
Great activity in pit
Realizing Sales on the Bulge Carry
Prices Down a Cent in Les9 Than
Five Minutes July Stronger
on Prediction of Freeze. ;
CHICAGO, Feb. S. A new high-record
mark for the season was established to
day when wheat for May delivery sold
at. $1.11 per bushel, surpassing by c
the previous high point recorded December
4. Realizing by leading holders caused a
loss of nearly all the grain, however, the
net 'advance at th close, being only c
compared with the final quotations of the
previous session. Corn, oats and pro
visions closed steady.
The establishing of a new high mark In
wheat prices was accompanied by more
activity In the wheat pit than had ben
witnessed for some time, an urgent de
mand by commission houses being In evi
dence nearly all day. In addition to heavy
purchases of the May delivery, there was
also active buying of the July option, which
carried the price of that delivery up more
than lc from the low point of the session.
The strength of the May option waa due
to the congestion that has prevailed In
that month for some time, and to the con
tinuance of an unusually active demand
by millers for cash wheat, especially In
the Southwest.
The July delivery was bulllshly af
fected by the Woather Bureau prediction
of a cold wave tonight throughout, the
Winter wheat belt. Sharp advances In
the price of wheat at all the leading
European grain centers also contributed
considerable strength to the market in
general. One of tho leading longs was a
liberal seller on the bulge and this caused
a drop of about lo in less than five minutes.
Sentiment In the pit was less bullish In
the final half hour and the market closed
steady at about the opening level. May
ranged between $1.1014 and $1.11, while
July sold between 8c and $1.00. The
close on May was at $1.10 14 1.10, and
July 89e.
The advance In wheat had a strength
ening 'effect on the corn market during the
early part of the day, but later sentiment
became a trifle bearish and at the close the
market was barely steady. At the close
prices were a shade lower to rsc higher,
May closing at 634j6c and July at
62 G,G3 c.
Trade in oats was dull, but the market
was quite firm at times, in consequence of
buying by somo of the prominent holders
of wheat. At the close prices were c to
c higher, with May at 52ftc and July
at 46c.
Profit taking by local longs caused mod
erate weakness in provisions. The market
closed steady with prices unchanged to
2 a lower.
