TIIE MORNING OREGONIAN, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 4, I91it. SUGAR FALL ST OPS Eastern Market Steady After Big Decline. RAWS TAKEN AT DISCOUNT Indications Are That Pacific Coast Prices Will See Xo Further Re duction This Year Xo Poll tics In Movement. The Eastern sugar market was In steadlor shape yesterday and It is believed the de cline has now been checked. Authorities here consider it doubtful whether there will be any further decline on the Coast between now and the end of the year. The refined market has simply followed the ooun of raws. There has been no politics in the movement, as the tariff bill provides that no change shall be maae in the duty until next March. It has been a Question of the supply coming along faster than the demand required. Raws were forced on the market and refiners were enabled to buy them at a discount. Had the stocks of raw sugar In Cuba available for the United States been held back until they were wanted, therv would have been no occasion for the big decline that recent ly occurrrd In the New York market. The statistical position of the market is reported by Wlllett & ray as follows: Stocks In the United States and Cuba together. 802.000 tons, against 881.320 tons last week and 214.636 tons last year, an increase of 147.814 tons from last year. Stocks in Europe. 947,00w tons, against 818, 300 tons last year. "Total stock of Europe and America, 1,808.000 tons, against 829.686 tons last year at the same uneven dates. The Increase of stock Is 479.814 tons, against an Increase of 446,803 tons last week. Total stocks and afloat together show a visible supply of 1.873,000 tons, against 1.001.686 tons last year, or an increase of 870.314 tons." HOP MARKET STII.L LACKS SUPPORT Firm to Europe and New York, But Neg lected in Oregon. There has been no change yet in the hop market situation. In the East and In Eu rope the markets are In good shape. The only weak spot seems to be Oregon. Grow ers are not pressing sales in this state, how ever. Yakima hops were bought on Wednesday at 25 cents, but the best orders sent to Oregon .were at 22H to 53 cents. Four hundred bales of prime, were sold by a dealer here at 23 cents and a little business was done with growers at 22 and 22 H cents. There was a report that several hundred bales of common hops were bought at 20 cents. Otters of 22 Vi cents for hops In the Eugene section were turned down by growers there. A cable from Ironmonger reported the English market quiet and steady and Con tinental markets still advancing. This was ;onfirmed by a cable from Munger & Hen ley. A prominent London hop Arm. Wild, Neame & Co., say in their annual review: "We have deferred issuing our annual circular till we could form a reliable opin ion as to how the- English hop crop was yielding, for we have so frequently noticed that when washing has had to be so vig orously persisted in as during this last Summer the crop is certain to be over estimated. This has unfortunately been too thoroughly confirmed, the shortage in all districts Is nothing less than deplora ble, the yield being from 2 cwt to 6 cwu per acre below expectations and, what at one time gave promise of a fair average crop must now be one of the shortest we have produced for several years. Recent advices from jne Continent in form us their growth Is coming short of their very moderate estimates and that we need fear no competition from that source. The Paciflo Coast crop is not so heavy as at one time anticipated, but In all proba bility the imports will equal those of the past season. Available supplies of year lings and older dates are smaller than for some years past, and considering the brew ing trade has been very satisfactory, it Is not likely brewers bold any considerable stocks. There la a very small supply of new hops on the market, growers not feel ing disposed to sell at the prices now being offered. "All things considered, In view of the undoubted and serious shortage in this year's yield, growers will look tor remuner ative values and, so far, indications are not wanting that they will obtain some recom pense for their labor and anxiety. "With a market practically bare of stock, little fear of any competition from the Continent and only a moderate surplus on the Paciflo Coast, a good trade should be before us; consequently, when consumers bring themselves to realize . the situation, high prices must eventually rule. TOKAY CRAPES ADVANCE IN SOUTH Firmest Feature of Fruls Market Elbertaa in From Yakima. Tokay grapes were the firm feature of the fruit market, selling at 81.35 In lug boxes and at $1.1001.15 in crates. The California market has advanced 20 cents and supplies are being closely cleaned up. Other California grapes were unchanged. The supply of local Concords was the largest of the season. A car of Yakima Elberta peaches arrived and moved out at 70(975 cents. The canta loupes received from the south sold quickly at $1.75 and as it was the last Bhlpment, the season may now be regarded aa closed. Casabas have taken the place of canta loupes and are selling well at $1.75 a dozen. Celery continues in over-supply and is weak at 60 75 cents a dozen. Other vege tables were steady. WHEAT IS QUIET AND UNCHANGED Prices Firmer on the Sound Sellers Holding Back. ' Not much buying was reported la the wheat market yesterday.

Dun's review will say tomorrow: Business in most departments continues to make satisfactory progress, one feature be ing the Increasing disposition of merchants In numerous lines and widely separated Parts of the country to anticipate future require ments. Borne uncertainty haa been expressed as to conditions In sections of the South where the cotton crop Is reported to have been ad versely affected, but the high prices at which the staple is now selllns; have evi dently removed apprehension. Similar con ditions nrevall In districts where other crops suffered from drouth. In the East, where commercial ana in dustrial operations have been retarded by tariff uncertainty, the final settlement has encouraged merchant and manufacturers and operations are on a steadily broadening Failures this week numbered 154, against S02 last week, and B3 In Canada, compared with 27 a year ago. DISTRIBUTIVE TRADE IS LARGER Collections Show Improvement and Money Is Easier. NEW YORK. Oct. 8. Bradstreete will say tomorrow: .

Stocks were under steady pressure today. The firm tone oi the previous two days disappeared, and, although offerings were not heavy, . there was no demand except at concession. Lead ing Issues ended the day with losses of a point or more. On the eve of a fundamental change In the country's tariff laws, traders thought It best to pursue a conservative course. Steel was once more the conspicuous stock and Its persistent weakness was a drag on the whole market. Copper shares yielded part of their recent exceptional gain. Reading and Union pacific also were subjected to severe pressure at times. St. Paul was affected adversely by Its August report, showing a decrease of more than $1,000,000 In net earnings. Sentiment was depressed In London and American stocks there were Inclined to heaviness. A small cash gain for the banks In the week was Indicated by known movements of currency. Time money rates showed an easier tendency. Bonds were under slight pressure. Total sales, par value, $1,240,000. Government bonds broke sharply on bid prices.
