THE MORNING OREGONIAN, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 1, 1909. 19 SLOW.TO SELLCBOP Buying Is Not Easy in the Hop Market. UNDERTONE IS STRONG lMlicnthal, of Xew York, Suites Ilia l'ositlon Purcbases by London l'nctors for Speculation. Advance in Butter. Quiet and firm describes the condition of the hop market yesterday. No transaction! it era re-ported from any part of the state. There wu a rood demand, export and do m'estlo buyers belnr out after goods, but few sellers were offering hops and they asked prices beyond what buyers would pay. -The feeling; In the country now 1 bullish and no concessions are being made by growers. The following; cable waa received from Ijondon yesterday by Klaber, Wolf & Netter: "Market steady but very little doing. It Is now believed that a good portion ot the export buying done here recently was In the nature of speculation by English hop faotora. as the London demand for Pacino Coast hops doea not Justify tha volume of business done or attempted here. The Oregonfan has received the following communication from Albert Ulienthal, of New Tork: New York. Nov. 2d. (To the Editor.) I took the liberty this morning of sending you self-explanatory telegram with reference to the hoo situation. I dally read your valuable paper for Its general excellent In formation, and for Its more particular hop report. I notice that It has constantly said that bears are forcing the price of hops down, and 1 wished to make it clear to your grow ers that they were solely at fault themselves for the depressed condition of the Oregon market. - I am entirely frank in saying that my Interests 11a wholly on the bull's side, and that not by accident, but because I am tremendously impressed by the question of supply and demand. For some unaccountable reason, Oregon baa been the lowest markot in the world, aad thla can only be due to the frightened condition of your growers. No matter how much faith we have In the ultimate market, we naturally are not going to pay higher prices than the growers demand, as that would put us at too great a disadvantage in comparison with our competitors. ' I have absolutely no hesitation In saying that if the hop market does not go higher. It will be due only to the perfectly unjusti fied fear and haste on the part of planters in marketing their crop. ALBERT LILIGNTHAL. I I I.I. WHEAT I'RICES BEING OFFERED. Country Markets Strong; With a Good De mand Foreign Crops. Conditions are unaltered In the wheat market. The feeling in the country Is very strong with San Francisco buyers and coun try millers offering full prices. Oats and barley continue firm. Foreign crop conditions are reported by the latest Liverpool Corn Trade News as follows: United Kingdom The weather is favor able for the seeding ot the new crops, being clear and cold; seedlngs making good prog ress. France. Italy, Spain. Australia and Rou manla The outlook for the new crop Is on the whole favorable. Germany A .heavy fall of snow has oc curred in parts and this Is favorable for the - wheat already seeded. There are no com plaints heard as to the outlook and native wheat is more freely offered, but .is being readily absorbed. Hungary An official report states that some damage has resulted from rank srrowth, rust and Insects. Generally, how ever, the outlook is favorable. Bulgaria. Crop accounts are generally favorable. There are some complaints of Tank growth, but this is offset by an In creased area, which is reported to be larger than last year. Russia In the southern Belt the weather has been very mVld and rainy. The drouth nrhlch has prevailed was dispelled and crops fcave shown a great Improvement. At the ports on the Azoff arrivals have already ceased ana elsewhere arrivals axe only fair. India Our agent at Calcutta reports that In the districts where wheat was planted early the crop has a good start, whilst elee shere sowing la progressing satisfactorily. It Is expected that there will be some In ' crease In shipments in the near future. - Local receipts, in cars, were reported by "the Merchants Exchange as follows: Wheat Barley Flour Oata Hay Monday 63 22 82 M 19 Tuesday Si 2 10 2 13 lear ago 40 20 6 4 4 Season to date.KTS") S75 841 692 1354 Tear ago 7541 317S B01 63tt 1480 ONE CENT ADVANCE IN BUTTER, ttty Creamery Market WIU Go to 87 Cents Today. There will be an advance of one cent In butter today, making the city creamery price 87 cents. The rise is in part due to the sharp advance that has occurred thla 'k at San Francisco, which has prevent ed the further shipment of California butter north. The Kastern market la also strength ening. Local supplies are not heavy. There wag a better feeling In the egg market yesterday, but no advance from the former price of 45 cents. Oregon receipts began to fall off and the accumulated stocks have been reduced. Kastern offerings are also less free. A record price for this time of year was established at Ban. Francisco yesterday with a Gl-cent market. At Seattle eggs advanced to 54 cents. The poultry market was steady with a very good demand and fair receipts. Fruit Trading; Is Slow. '"" There was little that was interesting in the fruit market yesterday. A "car of oranges was the only arrival from the South. Vegetables were In good supply and sold well. Farmers are holding potatoes firmly, but the California demand shows no Improve ment and the tone of the Southern market is weak. Bnnk Clearing.

NEW BUYERS APPEAR Covering by Shorts Also Steadies Market PRICES ON FORMER LEVEL Many Wall-Street Operators, How ever, Are Apprehensive Over the Anti-Tnist Programme. Money Market Steady. NEW YORK. Nov. 30. The movement of prices in the stock market today was as cribed more to technical causes than to the reflection of opinions or causes bearing on values. Today there was a considerable body of absorption by uncovered shorts and by new buyers for long accounts to offset the liquidation which was caused by the events of the last few days. There was a near enough balance between these op posing forces to bring prices back over their own course and to lead to consider able uosettlement of sentiment in conse quence. The professional trader felt the pulse of the market eagerly and their ehlfting of position had much to do with the varia tions of the price current. Yesterdays clos ing break in prices evidently disturbed hold ers of stocks in widely extended fields. Lenders of money on stook collateral ap parently ehared this uneasiness to an ex tent which prompted calls for additional margins and. in some Instances, precipi tated liquidation. Later rallies developed emaller offerings, although the demand for stocks at the recovered level proved meager and cautious. One party In the speculation remained un certain whether the selling on account of the apprehension over the anti-trust pro gramme had spent its force and whether unpropltlous factors were satisfactorily cleared up to open the way for renewed ad vance. The other party feared the over extension of the short Interest-and possible embarrassment in getting bac stocks sold short. The preparations for the December money settlements,, which call for an estimated total of $90,000,000 in New York, had no appreciable effect on the local money mar ket. Bonds were easy. Total sales, par value. $3,320,000. United States 4s registered de clined V4 per cent on call. CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS. Closing bales.

FIVE YEARS' SUIT REVERSED Supreme Court Decides Against State Fair, $300 Race JPurse Involved. SALEM. Or., Nov. 30. (Spaclal.) After five years of litigation, B. B. Tongue Is likely to get the purse of J300 won by his horse. Lord Lovelace, in the Juvenile Stake at the State Fair In 1904. After the race the Board of Agriculture refused to pay the amount, partly becauna there were only two entries In the race and the victory of Lord Lovelace was a "walkover." The case was tried in the Circuit Court of Marlon County, Judge Burnett presiding, and resulted In a vic tory for the State Fair Board. The Su preme Court, In an opinion by Justice Eakin. holds tsjat the trial court erred in sustaining the demurrer of the de fense and reverses the cage, which is re manded for further proceedings. Desire St. Dennis, an Indian, was drunk when he leased 640 acres of land, part of which he did not own, to Relnhold Har ras for 10 years. Furthermore, the de scription of the land In the lease was Inaccurate and insufficient, and Indian reservation land cannot be leased with out the consent of .the Secretary of the Interior. All these points figure in the reversal by the Supreme Court of the case of Sarah Agnes St. Dennis, substituted for Desire St. Dennis, against Relnhold Harras. the opinion being written by Jus tice Eakln. The case came up on appeal from Union County, where It was tried by Circuit Judge Bean. The land In ques tion is part of t"he Umatilla reservation. esire claims that he. was lured to Walla Walla, where he signed the lease end that after he sobered up he tried to re pudiate It. Other cases decided were: Hewitt Brothers, vs. Huffman; affirmed; opinion by McBride; appealed from Un ion County. Robert Jamieson vs. John Potts: affirmed; opinion by Slater; ap pealed from Umatilla County. Orlinna Johnson vs. Curry County; reversed; opinion by Moore; appealed from Curry County.
