1? THE MOKMMi UKKUOMAN, SATURDAY, DECE31BEK , 1U12. WHEAT CENT HIGHER Market Is in Better Shape and - Buying Is Freer. FARMERS SELL AT ADVANCE Demand From the Orient for Both I'lour and W heat Shows Improve ment Japanese Millers and Shanghai Dealers on Market. - There Is continued - improvement in the undertone of the wheat market, and a a. consequence buyers are more disposed to take hold. There has keen quite a tree movement In 'the past two days, farmers showing a willingness to sell In view of the hotter prices offered. Values are about a cent higher all through as compared with the opening of the week. Club was bought yesterday at 78 and 79 cents, and 82 and 83 cents was paid for bluestein. Many farmers who did not embrace the opportunity to sell when these prices were current several weeks ago, evidently waited for them to be repeated, and It la this class of sellers largely who are letting go. The offerings on the market, however, cannot be called large. There Is also more export flour business passing, and at full prices. The Oriental situation generally has Improved. The fail ure of the rice crop In Japan has stimulated the demand there. Shanghai millers have ground most of the wheat in the section trib utary to that market, the northern cron hav ing been light, and are now looking to this quarter for flour. Japanese buyers are seek ing wheat principally, but are also taking some flour. In the coarse grains, conditions are about as they were. There Is more disposition to hold oata steadily, but the demand to not important. Weekly foreign wheat shipments were-as follows: ' ThlaWk. LastWk. last Tr.

AURORA, Or., Dsc. 6. (Special.) Hop sales have been more numerous the past week than at any time this season. Among those selling the past few days In this sec tion are: J. C. Morman.

Stanton, 10 bales at 10 cents, both lots F. Isaacson, for Klaber, Wolf & Netter. H. L. Bents also purchased between 600 and 700 bales during the last week In other sections of the state. NO PAUSE IX HOPBCYISG MOVEMENT Unsold Slock in Oregon Will Bo Exhausted In Short Time. Hop men believe that the buying move ment now In progress In this state will con tinue until the Oregon crop entirely passes out of first hands. At the rate that hops have been selling,' this will not take long. C. M. Werner, in the past two days, has purchased 800 bales at from 10 to 14 cents. The Walker Bros." crop of 383 bales at Independence waa bought by C. L. Fitchard, and not by A. M. Lawson, as previously re ported. The price paid was 14 cents. Walker Bros received 810.201 for the lot. Other purchases by Mr. Fitchard were 62 bales from Peter Hurth.-of Sheridan, at 11 cents, together with a small lot of baby hops at 7 cents, also 23 bales from Richard son & Co., of Buena Vista, at 11 cents. Mr. Fitchard's total purchases In the past week amounted to 700 bales. 'EGGS ACCUMULATE ON THE STREET Wild Game Sells Well and Poultry Is Steady Dressed Pork Lower. There is some accumulation of eggs on Front street, which has weakened the mar ket. Fresh locals are now selllag at 42 hi cents. Wild game was in fair, supply and good demand. Mallards sold at S0.50 , accord ing to size and quality, teal and widgeon at $5$S and jack rabbits at S 1.75 2.30 a dosen. There was a good Inquiry for live- poultry of all descriptions - and the market was steady. . siv It is believed the heavy marketing of country dressed pork Is about over. The street was liberally supplied yesterday and I'i cents was the top. Veal continues firm. No changes were reported In the butter or cheese markets. POTATO SITUATION" 13 NO BETTER Heavy Offerings of California Kivera Keep Coast Markets Low. Conditions In the potato market continue unsatisfactory. Potatoes In California, are selling at 40 to 45 cents f. o. b. and are be ing landed U Texas at $1.13 a hundred. Southwestern buyers are securing supplies In Idaho and Colorado at the same prices. In California Rivers are being dug and forced on the market, which keeps things weak there. After the turn of the year, when these Rivers are out of the market, there may be some improvement in the Coast situation. With the San Francisco market on the 80-cent basis for Oregons, 50 cents Is the outside f. o. b. price here. There, are enough farmers willing to supply the trade at this figure, but there Is a lack of de mand. ' PATES ARRIVE BY THE PACIFIC ROUTE Persians Sell One Cent Lower Than the first Shipment. A car of Hallowee dates arrived yester day by the Sues and Hongkong route. These dates wore put on sale at 7H cents, which is a cent cheaper than the first shipment, of terred at. Bananas are "cleaning up well and will be scarce for the next ten days. Oranges are in active demand. The cheaper grades of apples are also selling well. Vrry little good celery was on the market yesterday. A car of celery and a car of sweet potatoes arrived on tbo delayed train last night. A car of lettuce Is due today. Bank Clearings.

Bradstreefs tomor row will say: Trade still displays considerable vigor. Ir regularity or slackness ln-this or that quar. ter, being offset by increased or sustained activity In many lines. Orders for future delivery continue on an extensive scale, while holiday distribution probably exceeds tjiat of any previous season. In the drygoods line, scarcity of various makes of good is very noteworthy and while demand, taking the country as a whole, shows no appreciable let-up, there Is a tendency to discourage buyers from rushing In and bidding up a market that is clearly short of supplies. In the Iron and steel lines, pig iron Is less active and buying of steel has abated somewhat, but that industry Is so well filled up with orders, some plants being booked for the first half of next year and others for a longer period, that a lull la not unex pected. Collections are good and even the South ern reports are more cheerful, save at com paratively few points, those that harve been adversely affected by a short cotton crop.

NEW YORK, Dec. 6. R. G. Dun Co.'s weekly review of trade tevnorrow wlil say: - The cotton goods markets continue strong, but there is a growing conservatism because of high prices and buying at first hands Is less active. Jobbers, however, report a fair trade for the season and there Is a good de mand for many domestic stables, converti bles and goods used in the converting trades. China bought standard drills for shipment in March and April. In woolens and worsteds spot demand for dress fabrics is seasonably quiet at first hands, but there are many goods to be de livered on all ort.ers. Printed silks are coming forward in a strong way for Spring and Summer, and trade In ribbons is o'f fair proportions. Shoe manufacturers are doing well, with some seasonable hesitation noted. Leather is firm but quiet, and hide have developed further slight weakness. ' Bank Clearings. NEW YORK, Dec. 6.

STOCK RISE NOW EASY BEARS MAKE LAST EFFORT TO FORCE DOWX PRICES. After the Morning Slump, Losses Axe Made Tp and in.Some Instances Xet Gains Are Scored: NEW YORK, Dec 6. The bear cam nnlEn was resumed on the stock exchange today and prices gave way before another Onslaught. The movement was jess gen eral and of shorter duration than yester day's. Quotations gave way from one to six points on the break, but later the mar ket recovered handsomely. While there was no apparent change in the factors which determine the state of what Is known as speculative sentiment, there .seemed to be less uneasiness on ine pari ox security holders. There were evidences of forced liquidation yesterday, where today's mar ket aooeared to be more larger bear selling. The market was helped by a sobering down of the fluctuations among the minor specialties, which broke so violently yester day, presumably because of discrimination of lending institutions against these securi tim a collateral. While the banka still maintained this attitude, the result was not as noticeable, since yesterday's movement disposed of large noiaings oi tnese less sia- hl securities. The market began the day calmly and bear traders devoted the flrst hour to test ing the list here and there. Then selling increased and during An hour of great ac tivity prices went down rapidly.- Some of the prominent issues oroae unaer yester day low points to the bottom prices of several months. nieei sola at oia.

Losses were largely made up and at the close there were so-ne net gains. Short Covering played a considerable part in the rally. Forecasts of tomorrow's bank statement Indicated a cash loss of $1,000,000 or less to $;:.imo.u00. It was the opinion of some bankers, however, that the deficit in bank reserves reported last wees: wouia pe great ly reduced, or possibly eliminated In this week's report, owing to the recent liquida tion of stocks and attendant reductions of loans and to a shifting of loans to out-of-town Institutions. 4 The bond market declined shsrply, but made some recovery toward the close.
