13 THE MORNING OREGONIAN, J SATURDAY, -DECEMBER . 11, 1909. MORE POTATOES. IN Shortage in Local Market Is Relieved. CAR FROM EASTERN OREGON Jobbing Prices Itecctle From the Recent High Water Market. All Grains Arc Strong. Demand for Hops. There was & marked easing up in the local potato situation yesterday. The buy ing has been of a. hand-to-imoutb character during the flurry and only the scarcity of supplies permitted the price to go so nigh. Yesterday with more available stock the market weakened. The stiff quotations had the effect of drawing" considerable supplies from nearby sections and all day farmers were hauling; potatoes Into town. In addition to these local receipts, a car arrived from Eastern oreson and was put on the market In the forenoon. From $1.50 per hundred, the top quotation of Wednesday, the price dropped yesterday to J1.25. with an occasional small sale at S1.85. The cheapest potatoes offered on Front street were at $1.13 per hundred. With the decline to a reasonable. basis, the local market Is left in a healthy condition, as the numerous odds and. ends that have tieen on hand for some time have been worked off. The shipping business is still at a stand still, except for an occasional lot from east tif the mountains that finds its way to the South. No considerable movement of West ern Oregon potatoes to California is expected for a week or more. In the meantime the tan Francisco market for Oregon Burbanks continues firm. AM GRAINS Ql OTKI VERY STRONG. Farmer Ankle $1.17 and More for Blue Htrm Stork Are l.ijcht. There is a Rood demand for wheat, which koeps the prlne up strongly, while the larjf buyers say they are not in the market actively, yet all of them seem to be en caged in a still hunt for wheat, judging from the reports eomJng In from the coun t ry The only quarter from whleh the in quiry appears to have fallen off is Cali fornia. Millers are the principal purchasers, while the buyers for the export houses are also pick in a; up what they can got.

This shows the California market has fully re covered Its former leve and proves that the stronger demand is pushing Coast prices upward. The Oregon market is sharing in the firm ness of other markets. There were export orders In. this state yesterday at 23 cents for choice and Eastern orders at 21 cents for prime hops. Hal Bolam, of .Salem. Is reported to have bought 110 bales In the Dallas section at 22 H or 23 cents.

WHOLESALE TRADE SLOWER Less Demand for Finished Steel Products, Owing to Inability of Mills to Make Prompt Deliver-' les Cotton Goods Steady. NRW YORK.' Dec. 10. R. G. Dun & Co.'s weekly review of trade Saturday wilt say: The near advent or tne nonaays ana w close of the year naturally curtails opera tions In most primary markets, altnougn re- ail trade Is correspondingly aufmeniea ana every Indication points to a very large uia tribution of merchandise. The difficulty experienced by the steel mills In making prompt deliveries is tho cause of some abatement in tne aemana lor finished products, T,hlle the lull in pig ron buying Is becoming more pronouncea. production rapidly overtaking consumption. Cotton goods are steadier and larger pur chaws of drygoods have been made on con tracts. Fall openings on woolen ana wors teds are being announced, but at higher prices. ' The imminence of the Government cotton report neia iraae somewnav 111 cnrviv most of the week, but there is a general dis position to move conservatively in view of the sustained hign posttion or raw cotton. New business in -boots and shoes is less in evidence, but the demand has shown a healthv Improvement and manufacturers are optimistic. Trade in leather continues quiet, hut the market remains in a strong position, as tanners are well sold ahead- and stocks are small. Packer bides are maintained as a rule. although some weakuess is shown In cow hides, owing to - the Increased slaughter. Country, hides are again, higher .and Chi- caKo huffs are now quoted down to lSVfcc. Foreign hides are barely steady and late auction sales have followed the lead of the recent large Paris auction. INDUSTRIAL OPERATORS ARE ACTIVE. No Evidence of Any General Slowing; Down. NEW YORK. Dec. 10. Bradstreet's tomor row will say: Colder weather and the nearer approach of the holidays have stim ulated trade quite generally throughout the North and West, and even helped South ern trade, especially in the western part of the cotton states. As the week advanced, there seemea. to be evidence that the" railroad strike was losing its effectiveness as a trade deter rent, though statistics of flour output at tne large Northwestern cities show these cen ters to have been sharply affected. There is no particular evidence of slow ing down In industrial operations but new business In several lines shows what is termed seasonable quieting. Iron output Is of large proportions, but new buying in pigiron Is smaller, some sort spots nave developed, and finished lines are not quite as eagerly sought for. In other lines, man ufacturers are still buying freely of ma terials which, as a rule, are firmly held. Reports as to activity in shoe manufactur ing are best from the West. Business failures in the United States for the week ending with December 9 were 259 against 230 last week, and 293 in the like week of 190S, 284 in 1907. 220 in 1906, and 226 in 1905. Business failures in Canada for the week number 30, which compares with 25 last week and 60 in the corre sponding week of 1908. Wheat (including flour) exports from the United States and Canada for the week end ing. December 9 aggrgate 3,990,457 bushels. against 3,652,848 last week and 3,759,49.1 this week last year.

Reading Weak on Rumors of Con templated Action by Depart ment of Justice. NEW YORK, Deo. 10. The choppy and uneverr movement of stocks today was part ly traceable to proflt-taVing operations based on the rise in prices for the week. There were some disquieting rumors which caused weakness in individual 'Stocks and added to the irregularity. These had to do mainly with Reading, which was said to be Involved in some contemplated action by the Department of Justice in connection with the commodity clause of the. Hepburn law. The special strength shown ,by the Penn sylvania group was accompanied by rumors that the directing . control of . Norfolk & Western was to revert to that system through the medium of the Pittsburg, Cin cinnati, Chicago & St. Louis. The statistics for November of the Copper Producers' Association lacked stimulating Influence. The nominal - decYease in stocks In the hands of producers resulted from a reduc tion in output, the deliveries for consumption and. export falling slightly below those for October In sympathy with the stimulating effect of the rumor of a combination of producers to restrict the output, which en livened the market for copper early in the month. Kstimates of the week's currency move ment showed the strong counter-currents still in force. The express movement with the interior has yielded a heavy balance in favor of New York, enough, it is supposed, to leave a small net gain In cash for the banks after allowing for the $4,446,000 ab sorption by the sub-Treasury operations and $1,700,000 of gold exports. The sustained firmness of foreign ex change in sympathy with this week's reduc tion of the Bank of England discount rate indicates a continuance of the outgo of gold to South America from New York. Bonds, irregular. Total sales, psrr value, $4,487,000. United States bonds were un changed on call. CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS. Closing Sale?. High. Low. Bid. Allis Chalmers pf.

Perry, president of the Merchants' Protective Association of Oregon, and Charles B. Merrick, secretary, have been in the city conferring with the local committee as to the programme for the state conven tion of retail merchants of Oregon, to be held here on January 26 and 27. One of the principal topics for discus sion will be that of cartage. It appears that the wholesale houses of Portland are making a . separate charge for carting Koods from the depots to their warehouses and compelling the retailers to pay this charge, besides the cost of the goods. Wholesalers also charge for crating goods', it Is said. To do away with these extras will be the efforts of the retail grocers. GASH BUYING FREE Millers in the Market Actively for Wheat.
