THE MORNING OREGOMAX, SATURDAY, ATTllT. 9, 1910. 19 DAIRY MARKET FIRM Supplies of Butter and Cheese Are Not Heavy. LOCAL DEMAND IS ACTIVE City Creamery Prices Low, but May Xot Be Altered for the Present. Advances at San. Francisco and New York. The butter markets in all sections have taken on a very firm tone. At This time of year, however. It would bo unreasonable to expect prices to advance- here, so the market will probably be held, on a steady basis. In some quartera the recant decline was considered too great, but now that the market Is fixed on a 33-cent basis It will probably remain theTe for the pres ent. The city creameries are cleaning- up well each day and except with one or two outaide creamerlea. none of the plants in the state report any surplus. The Pan Francisco butter market, which has been strong for the past week, mada another advance of a half cent yesterday. The exchange- quo tat ton waa put at 27 H cents, which meant 2t4 centa to buy. The New Tork market was quoted firm at 33 cents and Chicago held steady at 81 cents. The supply of Tillamook cheese is prac tically exhausted In this qjy, but a small stock fs coming on the boat due today. But for the aatern cheese that has been brought in, there would be a cheese fam ine In this market. Besides several ex press shipments that came by way of Seattle, three cars were brought in direct from the Bast. Prices are not likely to how any variation during the remainder of the season. As for new cheese, the prospects are that it will not sell aa low as In former years, as the demand is steadily broadening and more Tillamook cheese can be sold each year than Is produced. LOCAL reitA"I XR CiflAIX is sixxw. Bjoeateiu Offered at Lower prices Wit boat Takers. With the demand from all quarters slack and sales difficult to negotiate at almost any price, a decidedly bearish feeling pre ' vails in the local grain market. Farmers are not pressing sales, bat there are some other holders that are offering wheat at low prices both here and on the Sound. It mas reported yesterday that bluestem was on the market as low as 90 cents with out finding takers.

They an!d lower than the first shipments, be ing quoted at 18 cents per basket. No Fiorina were received yesterday, but some are due today. A moderate demand Is reported for oranges, and lemons are being taken fairly well. Apples are selling slowly. Although nrrpamgus has advanced in Califor nia, the local market continues weak under an excessive supply. Street prices quoted yovterday were generally from 4 to 7 cents per pound, according to quality, though some lots were sold as low as 7- cents a box. A car of mixed vegetable arrived -and cleaned up well. Price. In other lines were generally steady. There 1a no Improvement to be noted In the potato market. Onions continue steady. BETTER rT;i:tJXf,ra POULTRY TRADE. Receipt Nt an Large a Some Buyers There was a bet tor feeling in the poultry market yesterday, Kecelpl. were not as large aa some buyers expected and the demand was, therefore, more active. Good hens moved at cents. The local epg supply, as usual, waa limited, owing to the heavy shipments- made direct to Northern points, and the market ruled firm at 2.1 cent.. Receipts of dressed meats, particularly veal, were liberal, and some difficulty was ex perienced in working off the supply, yet for mer prices1 were maintained. Hank Clearl nga.

Active Industrial Conditions Con trast Willi lull Financial Markets. NEW TORK. April S. Bradfftreet'a tomor row will say: Trade and crop reports still betray irregu larity. In the North we.rt, on the Pacilio Ooast and In Texas', where needed rains have fallen, trade and crop reports are like good. In the Southwest, the Central West, ports of the South and on the upper Atlantic Coast there Is conservatism In buying, verging upon caution, and there Is more evidence of the repression exercised upon trade movements by crop uncertainty or becauw of the high level of prices discouraging buying, except for absolute current neeat--. Jobbing and wholesale trade, except In the sections favorably situated mentioned above, have been rather quieter and there Is a dis position to regard Spring trade, except for reorders later, as being over. In the industries reports vary. Iron and steel, except structural material, are rather quieter, production is not so heavy and re saes of earier purchases caujie some weak new in price of miner forms. Business failures In the United States for the week ending April 7 were 24it. against 229 last week. 227 in the like week of 1109, 258 in 190.. 11H in lOoT and 111. in lSKXi. Wheat, including flour, exports from the T'nitttl States anil Canada for the week end ing April 7 aggregate 1.777.0MJ bushels, against 1.744.279 lat week and l,Otil.24 this week lat year. For the 40 wetrks ending April 7 exports are 117.0441,060 buaiueis. against 146.570.G1O in the corresponding period of last year. Com exoorts tor the wek are 635,624 bosh eld, against l.ub5.351 lau week and 92H.SlS in ldi.i. For the 4 weeks ending April 7 corn exports are 23.370.478 bushels against 2S,748,t&8 last year. STRl'(,Tl'HAL STKEL TRAJOK LARGE. Bookings for First Quarter Exceed AU Pre vioin Kecords. NEW YORK. April S. R. G. Dun & Co.'s Weekly It e view of Trade tomorrow will say : The business situation continues to dis play sharp contrast. Dullness in the finan cial markets contrasts with an active indus trial output. The week's reports are very irregular and . make it difficult to sum up the situation In any one phrase suf tlcient ly broad to define adeqately the state of trade in the Nation as a whole. Some irregularity is apparent In finished materials of iron and steel, because of the increasing capacity of the mill, yet It Is significant that structural Pteel bookings for the first quarter exceed all previous records for that period, with two exceptions. It is in pig iron that the least satisfactory condltionR exit. as consumers still pursue a waiting altitude and prices show some further weakness. Exports of cotton goods show a decided pain in the Philippine trade since the enact ment of the new tariff regulations, 20.O0u.imui yards having been shipped during the etsht months ending with February. against 6.OOO.00O yards in The- two previous yeais. Curtailment in cotton mills i? becoming widespread and demand. for worsteds in men's wear is so light that man v looms are idle. Trade in footwear improves" gradually and is much better than six weeks ago; the question of value is loss of a disturbing ele ment. Bank. Clearings. NKW YORK. April S.

An Increase of 16.030.882 pounds In copper stocks on hand April 1 as compared with March 1, is shown by the monthly report of the Copper Pro ducers' Association, made public today. The report shows: Copper stocks on hand April 1 were 123, 824.874 pounds compared with 107.1S7.G92 on March 1. Production during March wa 10.007.407 pounds, an increase of 7,354. t74 pounds compared with February. De liveries during March were 10o.430.S85 pounds, a decrease of 557.253 aa compared with February. Of the total deliveries. 62, 844.818 pounds were for domestic consump tion and 4o.fiS5.767 for export. CONCESSIONS ARE MADE STOCK BIDS GIVEX AT CESSIVE DECLINES. SIC- Hi iiiST Money IXate an Effective I n- fluence in Depression Crop and Copper Statistics. NEW YORK. April 8. There was a con siderable increase in the offerings of stocks for sale today. There was, however, a distinct difference in the difficulty in which they were marketed. The absence of bids at current quotations made itself obvious at the outset and prices declined. The bds at successive stages of the decline were readily filled, necessitating fu.-ther conces sions by the sellers in order to piece the stocks. Declines of 1 to 3 points were gen eral at the end of the day. The rising money rate was a broadly ef fective influence. Coupled with the belief that gold exports would further deplete the bank reserve next week, the money situa tion offered little incentive to buy stocks, preliminary estimates of the currency move ment of the week IndicaTe excess of re ceipts from the interior to the extent of several millions of doMars. The sub-treasury operations have nearly balanced The $.".rOO.Ooo of gold exports which figure in the banking week will be partly offset, therefore. The Government crop report, published at noon, brought no relief to the stock market depression. Such comfort as could be found was in the belief that conditions have im proved since the date of the report. The decline of IS points in the condition from December 1 to April 1, however, shows the glaring contrast of early expectations of the crop w ith the after effects of the Winter killing. The March statistics of the Copner Pro ducers' Association was another depressing fat-tor. The increase of 16.6irt,8ti2 pounds in the slocks of copper for the month comes in spite of a reduction in the daily rate of production in March, the deliveries into consumption having fallen to the low est figure for any month since February, 1H. -with the single exception of Septem ber of last year. Political discussion figured in the days utix-k market. There was renewed con si d raUon uf a possrble Supreme Court decision In the American Tobacco case on Monday. The action of the Erie Railroad in reduc ing Its shop forces and laying off engines was cited as evidence of lagging traffic conditions for the railroads. Bonds were heavy.
