THE MORNING OREGONIAN, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 1909. 17 E Jobbers Look for a 20-Cent Rise Soon. CHANGE IS IN ORDER California Refiners Pave the Way for a Xew List Lull In Wheat Trading Expected Hop Consignment Talk. The sugar market la in a rather umt tlsd condition, with tha prospects pointing; to a higher level of prloea In the near future. Some of the Jobbers have notified their customers to look for an advance of at least 20 centa soon. Another Is said to be offering; Island ugar under the general quotation. The Eastern market, after a weak spell, la now barely steady. On the whole, however, the Coast " situation la strong and it would occasion no surprise If prices were lifted the latter part of this week or the first of next. On the last advanoe of the Coast re fineries several months ago. a great deal of speculative sugar was on the market. Borne of this was offered to the trade be low the refinery prloe. the holders of this sugar being anxious to take their profits, and this demoralised the market more or less. It was to shake out this speculative stock and clean up the market that the re finers two weeks ago dropped their price 80 cents. As the local market had been too low, because of the dlssentlon here, the cut In the south naturally equalized things and put the local trade and the refiners on their old parity. With trade conditions again on a normal basis, an advance In manufacturers prlcea la in order and is ex pected. The canned goods market shows strength. Stocks are cleaning up well, especially the looal pack, and the prospects are for a bare market by the time the new pack comes on. Stocks of Japan teas In first hands on the Coast are practically exhausted and no more Is to be had on the other side, so prices can be expected to advance before the new crop appears, especially on basket fired teas. Rice Is being offered freely by. the South ern mills. Japan rices are very cheap. A slight decline In chocolate was an nounced by the wholesale trade yesterday- lORCAS BUYS rAIjrORMA HOPS. I'a.vs 234 Cent" For Sonomsis Exporters Are After Connlgmnents. There was not much business In the Ore gon hop market yesterday, trade being restricted by the firm holding of growers. Some of the exporters are1 again seeking consignments. C. A. Dorcas, of this city, has purchased 20 bales of Sacramento and Sonoma hops In California at prices ranging from 33 to 2". '.! cents. Mr. Dorcas also bought 150 bales of 1IX7 Mendocinoa at 8 14 cents. The' Watervllle Times of November 28 said of the New York market: The local market showed an unlooked-for ftttlvity the past week in splto of the holi day and between 2u0 and 300 bales have been sold. Among the larger growths are 132 hales of the George Allen cop of 232 bales, the i'. I. Peck growth of 71 bales and the Gilchrist lot of 30 bales. The prices paid for these crops cannot be learned. There were numerous other small lots also sold on this market at little easier rates. In Otsego County about 400 bales are reported sold at prices ranging from 31 to 34 cents. It Is now estimated that there are less than 2."00 bales left in the counties of Oneida and Madison, which Is an almost unprecedented condition for this time of the year. BOX APPLES IN EASTERN MARKETS. Wee tern Fruit Is Reported Firmer "Export Conditions. Apple market conditions at aKew Tork are. reported by the Frultman's Guide aa fol lows: In the Far Western box applea the mar ket is a little firmer and the best Spltxen Thergs sold up to J4 per box. The Inside figure on the fanry was given aa from 2.50 to $3. 2ft -per box. Other varieties In boxei eold all the way from 91.50 to 12.70 per box. aa to kind and quality. The export trade In apples Is fair and there la a ateady volume of movement. It must be noted, however, that thia move ment la still for shipments from the prin cipal points In Canada. Last week the total exports from all porta waa 183,000 barrela Of this total New York sent over but 18. 000 barrels. There were 18,000 barrela shipped out from Boston. About 89, 00 bar rels went out from Montreal and 27,000 barrels from Halifax. Buyers in Hamburg want the red varieties, and last sales showed a fair return based on the present market. The English markets are taking the pip pins, and there la a good call for the stock. UNCERTAINTY IN THE GRAIN TRADE. Railroad Strike likely to Cause a Very Dull Market. Wheat and flour receipts yesterday were liberal, at 03 cars, but are likely to fall off sharply, owing to the strike on the North ern roads. In view of the uncertainty over the outlook, trading In the grain market ias already quieted down. Wheat prices continue firm, however. A sale of barley at 2S.70 was reported yesterday. Oats were Arm, at unchasWRed prlcea. Local receipts, in cars, were reported by the Merchants Kxchange aa follows: Wheat. Barley. Flour. Oats. Hav.

Butter Steady at the Advance.: The butter market was active yesterday at the new price. Cheese was steady, with a good demand. Receipts of Oregon eggs were very small, but some of the local Jobbers carried rather heavy stocks and as a consequence the mar ket was unsettled. Poultry was steady at the old prices. Oregon Wool gales at Boston, Fibre and Fabric, of Boston, says In Its latest issue: "Further sales of Valley No. 8 are reported at 2 cents and No. 2 at 30 and 81 cents, but otherwise little has been done In Oregon wools lately.

V- RALLY IN STOCKS Covering by Shorts Sends Prices Up. LESS SELLING PRESSURE Subsidence of Apprehension Over the Government's Anti-Trust Programme Bond Mar ket Is Firm. NEW YORK. Dec. 1. Prices of stock had a substantial rally today.' A general demand to cover oustandlng shorts came from the bears and the withdrawal of selling pressure marked . the subsidence of apprehension felt for several days over the anti-trust programme at Washington. Another Influence was the formal action by the House of Lords in Lon don in appealing the budget decision to the electorate. The opinion holds that the steps made necessary in British fiscal affairs by this action aa well os to the unsettling In fluence on public sentiment of the grave gov ernmental Issues Involved are destined to have a restraining effect on financial markets for some time. The same mixed view may be said to hold on the larger outlook In the corpora tion regulation question In this country. Something was made today of the report of an Intention on the part of the Department of Justlcs to ask for a postponement of the hear ing In the American Tobacco case before the Supreme Court, whlen was set for December 13. The first view of this report seemed to be a putting' off of an evil day from the stock market standpoint. This view was modified by the expressed eagerness of cor poration representatives' for as early a con clusion as possible of the pending cases. The demand for stocks, which was at tributed principally to the uncovered shorts, showed some hesitation at the higher levels. There was resumption of leadership by some of 'the highly speculative Issues. The ru mors centered conspicuously about the disso lution of the Rock Island and St. Louis & fan Francisco and the poet?lble alternative al liance that might be made. The retention of the same dividend rate by New York Central and American Smelting disposed of rumors of an Intended increase, but did not prevent those stocks from advancing with the market. Chicago & Northwestern furnished another ex ample of the recent tendency of stocks to de cline when stock increases are proposed. The railroad switchmen's strike in the Northwest proved a disappointment of hopes that satisfactory settlements of labor contro versies which are expected In other directions would be affected. Bonds were firm. Total sales, par value, $4,42tt,t00. United States bonds were un. changed on call. CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS. Closing i Sales. High. Low. Bid.

Referring; to an editorial in The Oreeonian last Sunday on "A Thrifty Sister," permit me to say that, besides a number of Insinuations which are un kind, uncalled for and untrue, and a very far-fetched fling- at foreign missions, which I do not purpose to discuss, you have so grossly misstated the facts in the case that, in justice to both the liv ing and the dead, I feel called upon to set you right, and am expecting that you will gladly -give the facts all possible publicity. In the first place, Mrs. TJren never re ceived a dollar of allowance from the local cburch, either as charity or other wise. She did receive $200 per year from the Columbia River Annual Conference of the Methodist Kptecopal Church, of which her husband was an active and efficient member at the time of his death, and to which money she was entitled by the laws of the church, as the widow of a minister who had spent his life in the service, and not as an eleemosynary al lowance. Again, Mrs. Uren's possessions consisted wholly of some $7000, deposited In various banks, drawing 3 and 4 per cent Interest; so that her income, aside from the conference stipend, did not ex ceed $275. As she was for the last 25 years of her life a helpless invalid, hav ing to keep competent help all of the time, it will readily be seen that her cir cumstances were scarcely above penury. Moreover, the major part of what she did have came from the est.ate of a rela tive In Australia within probably the last two years, while her husband haa been dead for nearly seven years. Furthermore, as one conversant with the matter, I wish to enter a protest against your implication of resentment to the "'Dayton brethren." None has ever ex isted, and the phrase, "Sister Uren's de ception," Ib one that I have never heard, and which I am sure has never been ut tered here. On the other hand. Mrs. Uren Is 'held in loving meraorp by all who ever knew her as one who, though surferins every day. was withal patient and ever considerate of others a bright example of how the grace of Jesus Christ can sus tain and uphold one who loves him with a pure heart, even in the most trying cir cumstances. C. A. HOUSHL, Pastor Methodist Episcopal Church, Day ton, Wash. It is difficult to account for Mr. Hou sel's un-Christian violence in discussing this matter. He states the facts about Mrs. TJren almost exactly as they were stated in The Oregonian's report and Portland Seattle Spokane Downing-Hopkins Co. BROKERS Established 18(3. ROOMS 201-204 COUCH BLDO.

The point that she rccciv.nl $200 from the conference, instead of tlio local church. Is of no consequence, and if lt was not an eleemosynary grant, what was lt? The Oregonian imputed no blame to the good woman for accept ing the church's bounty. Nay, she was commended for rescuing a sum which might otherwise have been lost In the sink of foreign missions. The more one reflects upon Mr. Housel's vehemence, the more astonishing it appear. TRAVELERS' GUIDE. All Modern Safety Devices (Wireless, etc.) London Paris Hamburg. Waldersee Dec. 4'tKals.
