THE MORNING OREGONIAN, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 14, 1909. 19 FLOUR PBICES FIRM But No Immediate Advance Is Expected. MARKET HIGH ENOUGH NOW If Wheat Continues to Climb, How ever, a Readjustment of Quota tions AVill Later Be Necessary. Coarse Grains Rise. An Impression pro vails in wholesale grocery circle that another advance 4n flour prices la Imminent. While a rise would probably b Justified by the course of the wheat market. ae such advance is contemplated by millers at the present time, so far as can be learned. Wa official of a leadlnr mill said yesterdayt TSour Is worth more money, but we have Be Idea of raisins; prices bow. With bluestem . Wheat worth $1.1T or more, anybody con nected with the business who has a thlmblefuU of tray matter in his head knows there to no , money la selling flour at $8.10 a barrel. At th. same time, we believe that flow prices are high enough now sod any further ad ' vanoe would work a treat harehlj oa the oon 1 puzner. If wheat prices oonttnva to wif, hswevexv a readjustment of Sour values will ' later be necessary." I The country markets were greatly excited : ty the bulge at Chicago yetserday. Farmers ' put their asking price of bluestem up to the 1 $1.20 basis and were not anxious to sell evea at that price. There was not much tradtag In barley or , oats, bat the markets were as strong as ever. Buyers were not disposed to pay over $32.60 . for oats, but holders held out ' strongly tor .1S- Barley was Quoted at $30.

Final Statistics of the Crop Will Be - ' Available This Week. The hop r dealers have not yet completed their tabulation of the Oregon, crop, but expeot to have the work finished by the close of this week. The list complied at the Salem conference Sunday showed 79.665 'hales produced, of which EE. 238 bales have been sold and S4.427 bales are unsold. One or two Individual lists remain to be com pared with the conference list. It Is probable the final statistics win show a crop of about 81.000 bales. . No dealings In Oregon hops were re ported yesterday. Taklma advices reported the sale of the Desmatie crop of 125 bales to Grafton at 21 cents. In California there were offers of 24 cents for choice Sonomas and 15 cents was paid for 1910 Sacramentos. A California writer estimated the unsold stocks In growers' hands In that state at 2S.7S0 bales, divided as follows: 1900i, 6178 bales; 1907s. 6251 bales; 1908s. 1347 bales; !1909s. 13,959 bales. Conditions In Hew York State are reported by the Waterville Times as follows? The market shows a much healthier tone inan it nas for the past ten days. There are plenty of buyers In the market ready to do business If the right kinds of hops can be oougnt. Holders of the best hops are still firm In their demands for a better price than the market at present warrants, so most of the trading Is "being done In medium grade goods. The remainder of the Curtis lot of about 68 bales has been sold at about 28 cents end there are numerous other sales at between 28 and 30 cents, all of these being common to medium grade hops. A higher price would be paid for the better gradea It Is estimated that there are now not to exceed 2000 bales unsold In this and Madison County. BANANAS COarB IN OVERRIPE." Sweet Potato Advance In the South Has Not Vet Been Felt Hera. Three cars of overripe bananas, one oar of oranges, two cars of cauliflower and one oar ief sweet potatoes were distributed yesterday and two ears of celery arrived after the close of business hours.

Few Special Issues Give the Entire Market a Show of Strength, but Trading Is Not ActiveX NEW YORK, Deo. 13. Beyond the mere chronicle of the fact of a desultory advance In prices of stocks today, there was little of i terest In the market. Feeble as the general demand was, there was a fairly comprehen sive show of strength. This was largely ac complished by the sympathetic effect of dis proportionate advances in a number of special stocks. The most conspicuous was Republlo Iron, which rose to 454, the hlgJest In several years. The recent entry In the Lehigh di rectorate of the dominant figures in the Rock Ieland property, of course, came into renewed discussion. The allegation that Wabash was to be concerned In the licking of the two properties also played a part In the day's dis cussion, as It has on former occasions. A new suggestion was that the Rock Island preferred stock might be retired In exchange for a bond ltsue and the property put Into the hands of the common stockholders. It is a peculiarity of the Rock Island er- fanizatlon that the preferred, which Is but Ittle more than half of the volume of the common stock, elects a majority of the di rectors of the company. The Rock Island Company Is a holding company which owns the stock of the Chicago, Rock Island A Pa cific Railway and until reoentlv the St. Louis & San Francisco Railway. The enormous control thus exercised by the Rock Island pre ferred stock. Itself a minority of the total stock of the compmy, constituted a striking example of the oapablltty of this device for widespread power through the outlay of a minimum of eapltal. The call money rate touched 5 per cent. Bonds were steady. Total eales, par value, $3.77S,000. United States 2s advanced and the 8 Hi per cent In the bid prices on call. CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS.

The recent analysis In The Oregonlan of Lord Macaulay, as a thinker and a writer, is noted for its sanity. Possibly a word or two, in addition to the critical appreciation, could be spoken. In the literary work of Lord Macaulay can be found compactness, rush, elo quence, appropriate to an orator, plc turesqueness, often an unwelcome mo notony, and confidence in all he says. This remarkable "cock-sure" confidence is welcome to minds desiring teachers free from apparent uncertainty and doubt. In penetrative insight, he was singularly deficient. Hence his observations were confined to the outside of men and. things. I have always admired Macaulay's forte in making himself understood. He is' willing to repeat a word, a clause, a sen tence, to let daylight into his discussion of a theme. His essays give us a mass of Information In lively and Interesting style, but ha -was more at home in ac cessory than in the principal movement of bis topics beading his essays. In Macaulay's essays covering; philoao- THE BEST STREET INSURANCE IS THE BITULITHIC PAVEMENT It insures against dust, mud and street noises. It insures against slipperiness and falling horses. It insures against cracks, disintegration and costly repairs, Ii assures a sanitary and durable street. It assures conscientious workmanship and best materials. It assures perfect satisfaction.

The continuity of treatment is not real, and his unity in thought and expression Is found in the covers of the volume put In print. If he wrote about Johnson, Bacon, Milton, Machlavelli or Dryden, it was as McMaster notes, to give a picture of the period In which these distinguished men lived. The essay on Cllne and Hastings Introduced us to the Mogul Empire itself. In the wel come, immediate and astonishing, given to his ''History of England," the United States outstripped the mother country herself. It was well for Macaulay to die In bis easy chair, for he has made it easy for thousands to read words aiming for the best things. His treatment of Chris tianity was reverential and free from sneers hard to answer. B. J. HOADLEY. REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS Thomas C. Shea to Jennie Shea, lot 8, block 18. Sunnyslde 1 W. B.
