THE MOBNING.OREGONIA,. THURSDAY, , , gAS&J&X '& OO. 11 COMMERCIAL AND The winter, if -winter It may be termed, still continues "open and -what are ordinarily sea sonable goods In January are not in great de mand at this time. "With the exception of wheat and hops, there is a pretty firm market for nearly all kinds of rarm products. The potato market has held op much better than was expected, and, in spite of the unusually heavy shipments to California, there has been 10 serious break in the market. Oregon ap ples of the late-keeping varieties are now in demand at improved prices. Onions are firmer on a. good shipping demand, and the spoiling of a considerable quantity on account of soft weather. Poultry is ruling steady, but eggs are -weak. Veal and pork are firm at un changed Quotations. Oats are firm for a choice article, and weak for ordinary stock. Hay is easier. "WHEAT The wheat market has drifted around to a stage which might in sporting parlance be termed a "show down." The fleet of .ships in port is rapidly finishing, near ly all of them beng in shape io get away be fore, or -very soon after, the first of the month. Chartering .has been practically at a standstill for so long that there are -very few -vessels to take the place of those now In the river, there being but two -vessels due and less than half a dozen due within the next CO to 00 daja. Holders' ideas of -values continue so far above the actual export value of the cereal that It is Impossible to do business, except at a loss. The foreign market is in bad shape for ani kind of wheat, and especially so for that ex ported from Oregon and "Washington. Mention was made a few weeks ago of the pernicious action of the publisher of an alleged grain paper In this city. In sending copies of a circular to Europe, with the startling In formation that over 4,000,000 bushels of the 1899 crop was unfit for anything but feed. This malicious and uncalled-for report had no ef fect locally, where the source was considered, but the buyers In Europe, ever ready to seize on the slightest pretext for reducing values, are working the story to suit their ends, and the differential between "Walla "Walla and Cali fornia cargoes has again widened out to 2 shil lings. Lest the fact that there is some light wheat In the country should be lost sight of, this sane penny-a-liner renews the attack In the last Issue of his circular, in the statement that "the warehouses in Portland are all over flowing with wheat, or stuff called wheat." Since this statement was made, upward of 1,000,000 bushels of wheat nas "been set afloat from those warehouses, and much of It was strictly flrst-claaa stock, and not "stuff called wheat." The wheatgrowers of the Northwest 2uwe enough to contend with In the natural course of bearish factors without being sub jected to the petty attacks of this nature; and unless they cease, effective means should be found for corking up the bubbling genius who Is fathering them. Prices at the present time are slightly mixed. "Very little wheat can be purchased at the actual value, which Is in the neighborhood of Bl cents for "Walla "Walla, and 52 to 53 cents for bluestem. A cent or two above these fig ures has been paid this week, where wheat was wanted for a special purpose, but it would be impossible to move but a very small por tion of the wheat still unsold In the country at anything like these prices. Regarding the situation In Europe, the Liverpool Corn Trade News, under date of January 0. says: The New Year has not opened auspiciously from a holder's point of view. Stocks are large, and the new crop in the River Platte looms large in the distance, probably having more effect now, as it is approaching the ship ping points, than it will later on, when it be gins to arrive In European ports. It is cer tain that if there had been no Platte crop this season, prices would be a shilling higher today; therefore It is about time now, seeing where prices are, to cease looking for the fur ther effect of this factor. It is true that Eng lish millers are everywhere using as much English whest as they can manage, some mix ing as much as 40 per cent Into their grist, but the supply In recent weeks has not been at all large, while at the same time the sup ply of foreign wheat on the market has been by no means excessive, arrivals at the outporta having been quite as small as we predicted. Nor Is there any present prospect of arrivals of foreign wheat or flour Increasing. The likely imports of the ensuing fortnight, will not exceed 360,000 quarters weekly, and stocks either in first or second nands Will be further depleted concurrently with a further shrinking In the floating supply. Later on 1b to be con sidered the probability of Chicago working up a big scare upon the new -winter wheat crop, for these operators have a big stake in the market this season. Their holdings of wheat in regular and private warehouses new exceed 20,000,000 bushels. Politics are in a critical state, and seem likely to remain so all the winter through, eo that, on the whole, the widely prevailing dullness Is not readily to be accounted for. It will be interesting at this Juncture to make up a count of our supplies of breadetuffs now in sight, which will be found in the following statement, the quantities be ing shown in quarters: World's visible, 1st of January, for nine years: No. Amer- Europe and Argen- Grand lea. afloat.

As showing the rela tions between supply and price, we give in parallel columns the world's visible for nine years, and the world's average price for certain epe-lfied qualities In the chief markets of the wjrld, all free of duty, reduced to a common denomination, viz., shillings, English, per 460 pounds: "World's -visible "World's average supply Jan. 1, price Jan. 3 quarters. 1000 26,000.000 JS9 19,200,000 J& 20,100.000 lg 24.000,000 Iggg ,2S,900,000 I8O0 .23.500,000 JfJJ 29.900,000 JS93 30,200,000 18U2 25,800.000 shillings, pr. qr 25s lid 27s lOd 35s 1 d 30s lid 23s 5 d 21s lOd 24s 5 d 28s .2 d 37s Beerbohm's review of January 5 said that the weather had been unseasonably mild Jn Great Britain, but little was known of the crops. In France the weather continued fine, w!th the crop fairly well spoken of. In Bel gium and Germany the conditions were still satisfactory. Austria-Hungary reports were that the weather had been unseasonably mild In that country. The Cincinnati Price Current, summarizing Its crop correspondence for the week ending last Saturday, says: Another week of mild open weather has pre vailed throughout the winter wheat section, v.lih scattering rains, but no snow. Previous condition of the crop Is being maintained. As hitherto reported, the prospects in Ohio are unfavorable: in Indiana and limited areas else where not much better; but over the greater part of the wheat area the average promise Is .good. Our correspondents continue to reflect a. tendency among farmers to firmly hoia their wheat at present prices, and the Interior move ment of this grain is consequently of only lim ited proportions. The wheat market has shown a further de cl.ne the past week. As a whole the situation presents nothing of an assuring nature. The flour trade continues quiet, still millers are willing purchasers of the little wheat offered at current prices. Farmers are still Inclined to hold firmly, and receipts are light, it is quite probable that a fair proportion of coun try holdings will be carried over Into the next crop j ear. It Is reported that some of the Chicago elevator supplier are being offered to m Hers at current prices. HOPS The situation In hops is practically unchanged.- As mentioned a few weeks ago, the withdrawal from the market of several thou-J FINANCIAL NEWS sand bales of Oregon hops permitted the Cali- fornla and New York growers to unload at . prices which the consumer was willing to pay. This has left -a surplus of many thousand bales in this state, and as they are not improving with age, many of them must eventually be sold at very low prices. A few sales have been 1 reported within the past week at prices ranging from 3t to 55i cents per pound. These prices, of course, can be bettered for a choice article, but "anything like fancy hoos are scarce at town, N. Y., under date of January 18, says: The hop dealers of Cooperstown have pur chased several hundred bales of hops during the pastweek at prices ranging from 5 cents to 9 cents, according to quality; none were as high grade as choice. POTATOES The last steamer sailing for San Francisco carried away 12,000 sacks of pota toes, but the news that they would be dumped on the Bay city market today did not have much effect on prices, the worst that Was re ceived from there jesterday being reports that the market was "weak, but not quotably lower." Best Burbanks sold yesterday in the I Portland market as high as SO and 85 cents per cental, and only ordinary stock brought 05 and 70 cents. A few Garnet Chiles are coming along, and are In fair demand for shipment at 70 cents per cental. They are not in the same class with the Burbanks for food purposes, and tlicoe which are now going south will be used for seed. FRUIT Unlike the case of wheat, the mar ket for apples improves as the season wears on, and choice stock, which was in no special de mand at fl and ?1 25 per box a few weeks ago, S3 now wanted at ?1 T5 per box,- with the prospect good for it reaching an even $2 per box before spring. The crop of good-keeping apples last season was small, and now that the earlier 'varieties are disappearing, the late ones have the call on the market. Oranges, lemons, tangerines and bananas are plentiful at unchanged prices. Some very fine bananas have been received during the week. BUTTER The butter market Is ruling Bteady, with supply and demand about equal for the best grades of creamery, md store butter de cidedly weak, except for the best, and even this Is wanted In only limited quantities. The market has declined in San Francisco, and prices in the Bay city will soon be low enough to admit of some of the surplus from that market being sent north to compete with the Oregon product. "When this happens, lower prices will follow. EGGS The egir market is weak and tending lower. Sales are reported as low as 10& cents, and retailers are sealing at two dozen for 85 cents. Prices have fallen so low In San Fran cisco that it is impossible to clean up accumu lating stocks by shipping to that market, and under such clrcumstanoes there Is not much show for improvement, and nothing but a spell of very cold -weather will hold prices steady in this market. POULTRY The high prices for ducks brought out some pretty liberal offerings this week, and as most of the Chlnametx have laid In supplies for the coming festivities, the price has de clined a shade. Best coops can still be worked for 48, "with others selling down as low as ?6 per dozen. Geese are plentiful at about $6 and $8 per dozen, and there is only a nominal de mand for turkeys, at 12 cents, live, and 14 to 16 cents dressed. Chickens are doing a little better this week for dressed, and sales of best fat hens were made yestrday at $4 50 and ?5 per dozen, with mixed coops selling from $4 down as low as $2 75 per dozen.

NEW YORK STOCK MARKET. Prices Slxo-ived Strong Sympathy "With London. NEW YORK, Jan. 24. Prices on the New York stock exchange seemed entirely Eubeer vlent to the movement of prices on the London exchange. The 'first sales of the International stocks showed sharp gains in response to the rise achieved earlier on London exenange. These opening gains conform closely to the tains for the day. It seemed Impossible to achieve any movement of prices after the opening, and the almost stagnant market drifted alopg at about the opening level for the rest of the day. ho gains were closely proportioned to the previous day's losses, and probably measure the rectifi cation of the short contracts put' vut yesterday on the exaggerated rumors or British reverses In South Africa. The whole movement cannot be said to be more than sentimental, as the actual news of the day failed to throw any light upon the Boer war oltuatlon. In the list of industrials and Dpeclaltles, Where the properties concerned would feel no effect either from, success or defeat in .South Africa, the movement of prices followed lympathetlcally that of the railroads. Dealings In this depart ment continued: much larger than' those In the railroad department, but were strictly pro fessional. The only reason discernible, for the advance in prices was that there were declines yesterday. Considerable demand developed Jater in the day for American Steel & "Wire, which carried it up an extreme 2, and lifted other Iron and steel stocks In sympathy. The stocks of properties r operating in New York public utilities also made a continued show of strength. News bearing on the Indus trial outlook was all favorable. St. Paul's third weekly statement, leading the returns for that period, showed an increase of over I 89,000 over last year's, unprecedented level of earnings. There were good third-week statements also from Wabash, Denver & Rio Grande ind Rio Grande Western. Leqs assurance was felt with regard to the financial outlook. Money rates hardened a fraction In London and Berlin, and there was a sharp fractional rise In sterling exchange. Ouotable rates for- moneywerenot changed in New York, as funds continue to accumulate in New York banks. But the rate of accumulation-showed a considerable falling off from that of last week. Further reduction In the Bank of England rate of discount has been anticipated, but whether today's hardening money will result in disapolntlng this expectation remains to be seen. The absorption of railroad bonds continues on a moderate scale, but to a lessened extent, 'iw lng to the smaller inflow of money. Sphere I-were some wcaktpolnts in the list, making them irregular.

The Commercial Ad vertlser'B London financial cablegram, "says: In the absence of news from the'eeat of war today, there was complete stagnation In the markets here. The settlement was cosy. Bank ers charged 3 per cent, for mony, and brokers vi ere ov ersupplled. The American contango opened at 4 per cent, but soon eased to 3; the rate on St. Paul being only 3 per cent. Americans advanced point on an authentic rumor of a victory at Splonkop, but relapsed on eales from New York. The bank bought 21,000 gold In bars, ana lost S0,000 to India, The latter shipment was considered light. Cable transfers commanded muc: lower rates than last week.

Chicago Grain, Produce, Etc. CHICAGO, Jan. 24. With Liverpool d up and a local rumor crediting Paris with an ad vance of 50 centimes, the iocal market opened strong, May c over yesterday's close, a,t 6767c St, Louis, was a buyer, and short covered, under the Influence 'of which May ixa! vanced sharply to 67c. The official board of. trade cable from Paris, received later, put the French market c higher, to e lower. With this" support withdrawn, and Liverpool easing off from early figures, the local market declined, May selling down to 6666c At this Junc ture traders bought, playing for a"rnlly, and there was some covering by shorts on the strength of a. predicted cold wave catching the crop without snow prptetctlon. May reacted to 6767c. , ' "r 1 On profit-talcing the price was. depressed to 6667c, where the market hovered until the report, came that bubonic plague had broken out in Rosario, Argentina. Under this stimu lus a demand from shorts sent the price of May to 6767c, but this gain, too, was lost, and the close was easy, May a shade under yesterday, at 66C7c. Up to 11 o'clock trade was active, but later, till the plague report stirred up some anima tion, a little before the close, trade was rather quiet. Corn was dull and easy. May closed easy, a shade under yesterday, at 3333c. The oat market weakened In sympathy with the easiness of corn, closing weak for May;, c under yesterday, at 2323c. ' Provisions were weak, affected by the dull ness of trade, which consisted principally of scattered commission-house selling and a weak hog market. May pork closed 1720c under yesterday, May lard 710o down, and May ribo, 10c lower. The leading futures ranged as follows: WHEAT. ' Opening. Highest.

Please oblige a" subscriber answering the following questions: the by 1 Has anything ever been heard from the three members of company M, Second Oregon volunteer infantry (Lawrence, Mc Coy and Mills), who disappeared at Mari lao April 2S? While at the Presidio after our return, a telegram was reported to have been received from General Otis stat ing they had been, hQard from, as prison ers pf te Insurgents. I have never heard or ineir release, aunougn an American prisoners are reported to be released. Was the telegram a mistake, are they still prisoners", or arerthey"released? It they were recaptured, when and where? 2, What Is the exact status of the woman Ruffrage, question in this state at present? Is the amendment to be voted upon at the coming election? 3.'
