J)- THE MOBNING OEEGONIAJT, THTOSDAT, MAKbH 15, 1900. v 11 COMMERCIAL AND Bueiness for the first half of the month r pf March has been uniformly good. TVhen ' It Is considered that the wheat business, j the greatest single factor In the trade ' situation, has been almost at a stand still for several weeks, the showing Is exceptionally good. Pine weather, for the ! past few days has put nearly every farm- i er In the country Into the field, and for ' this reason, produce receipts have been rather light. Country dealers, however, are ordering much more freely than they have been, and all preparations for a live ly Spring trade are being made. While wheat and hops remain to a certain ex tent lifeless, the season has drifted around until Oregon Is about ready to harvest another crop, which Is bringing prices that are high enough to warrant the be lief that there will be no halting in the movement. The wool clip will be coming on the market very soon If the present weather continues, and, owing to the highly favorable Winter season. It prom ises to be a record-breaker in quantity with quality and price both satisfactory. The output of mohair is much larger this season than last, but the outlook for prices Is less favorable than it was a short time ago. Veal, pork and mutton arc lower on account of a slackening in the demand, due to the Lenten season. Butter and eggs are firm. Potatoes are decidedly weak on a falllng-off In the Cal ifornia demand. Oats aro a shade stead ier, and good timothy hay Is still selling fairly well. Fruit is plentiful, and early vegetables from California nre in good supply. The grocery markets remain firm, w.th prices practically unchanged. "WHEAT The Chicago wheat market optned practically unchanged from Tues day, hung motionless for nearly three hours, and then In the last hour of the session Jumped cent per bushel. The European markets were practically un changed, .and In Portland there was noth ing doing to indicate any change In the conditions, which have been governing this market for several weeks. There are no ships In ihe river to be taken care of, and none are offering at a reasonable rate, or at least at a rate which would enable dca.ers to meet the views of holders. Prices are dependent entirely on the im mediate need of buyers. Sales have been made this week at 52 and 53 cents for No. 1 "Walla Walla, and yesterday 53 cents was paid for a small lot of Valley. There are reports from the interior that better than 53 cents is being offered for Walla Walla, but open quotations In excess of that figure are not obtainable. High freights continue to hamper any new business. With shipowners holding firm to their tonnage, and the farmer holding his wheat, the exporter is afraid to touch either for fear the other will "cinch" him. The experience of past sea sons, as well as the present, has demon strated that his fears are veil founded, and until there is a concession on one or both sides, business Is bound to be of email proportions. The mills are still grinding large quantities of wheat, and if this demand docs not cease, quite a per centage of the stock s.ill held in the coun try will find its way to market In the form of flour. The growing crop contin ues to enjoy Ihe most favorable weather possible in all sections of the Northwest. Reports from California are also favor able on the whole. The situation east of tho Rockies is thus set forth by the Cin cinnati Price Current, in its summary of crpp correspondence for the week ending ist Saturday: Heavy snows have prevailed through nearly the entire wheat section during the past week, and in the northern part of the section there is still a considerable snow covering over the wheat fields. But through the southern sections of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, etc, the snow has melt ed off, leaving the wheat susceptible to freezing and thawing weather. Hut' there are no indications of any material change in the general condition for the week. The marketing of Winter wheat at interior points Is generally reported t6 be light, due In many places to the bud condition of roads as well as to the disinclination to market freely at current prices. In Ohio, the condition of the wheat crop is as unfavorable as previous.y reported. Snow has dlsapieared throughout most of the state, and there are now complaints of freezing and thawing conditions. There is a genernl disposition among the farm ers to hold their w heat, and the marketing is consequently light. In Indiana there has been considerable snowfall the past .woek, especially in the northern part, in the southern section the snow has melted, and a few reports complain of freezing and thawing weather. In Illinois the growing wheat has had a good covering of enow tho past week, except in the most southern section, and the condition contin ues favorable. Movement of wheat light en account of bad toads and disinclina tion to sell at present prices. In Iowa the growing wheat Is well covered with snow, which Is a favorable condition. In Missouri the condition of the growing wheat continued favorable. Snow still prevails In the northern oc tlons. In Kansas the wheat has been more trcnorally covered with miow during the past week than at any time this winter, and It has been beneficial to the crop. The 'wheat situation from a foreign etnndpoint te thus rev.ewed by the Liver pool Corn Trade New 6, under date of Feb ruary 20: The blizzard period has been succeeded by more or less rainy weather, and com plaints of delayed spring seeding are be ginning to be heard. It Is early yet for thtse complaints to be regarded very seri ously, but the land at present is so sod den that the drying wtather Is urgently needed In order that a start may be made early next month. The winter crops are reported to look none the worse for their recent experience of severe weather. The eal.cn t features of the situation are the larger shipments, actual and prospective, and the small arrivals both at United Kingdom ports and the Continent. At time of wrltng, the former factors seem to out weigh the latter, although the balance is rather close, as the bull side of the market te being helped by rurther reports of crop damage in France and generally unfavorable weather for spring seeding in Western Europe. There can bo but little doubt that the weekly totals of shipments to be reported in the near future will be larger. In the ecr.se that the quantities -will Bhow nn increase on what has been put afloat in the past week, but on the other hand, the opinion is held that the level of supplies will continue below that of last year at a corresponding period. This view cannot be put forward m being based on any thing more substantial than an opin'on, for, en the face of It, there would appear to exist no valid reason why the chief shippers. iz.. North America. Russia and the Southern hemisphere, should supply le wheat, for undoubtedly they have gord quantities on hand but it may be urged that so far this season, the senti ment in America and Russia has been 'n favor of holding .for higher .prices, and the statcment'haa been made that Argen tina is liable to adopt a similar policy in dealing with the crops last harvested. These opin oris have a considerable amount cf probability to back them up, but the knowledge that there are large quant'ties of wheat in existence ready to be unloaded when holders decide to let go. Is calcu lated to eej the markets well In check. FINANCIAL NEWS Of course, from the beginning of April onward, the absence of Indian shipments this season -will begin to tell: this is an in fluence that will be felt ftr some consid erable time. The small Imports into tho United Kingdom, totaling only 422.0QQ quar ters In the last fortnight, are naturally but a reflection of the recent small ship ments, and our theoretical Rort stocks. In turn, are reflecting ,th.e small imports by substantial decreases. As Imports last year at this time were very liberal and even heavy, the result has been that the excess of holdings this year. I as compared with last, which recently amounted to fully 1.000.000 quarters, hai greatly diminished, and may be found to be altogether extinguished when the next complete count is made, namely, at th end of March. Reports of the French crop are again attracting more attention. Great diversity of opinion exists and the vari ous reports re, to say the least, suf ficiently conflicting, but although there has been some pause in the upward move ment of the markets, the advance already recorded Is genu'ne evidence that there j are people who believe -that the frost has j nipped the crop badly. As to ultimate re sults, much must depend on the success of the spring seeding, and It can certainly be said that the weather last week was not favorable. WOOL AND MOHAIR The wool market Is a shade eaJer on account of buyers holding off c little and expressing. Indif ference about doing business so far in advance of the clip, except at a slight reduction over earlier quotations. Best Valley wool Is quoted .t 16 to 18 cents, and Eastern Oregon 10 to 15 cents, with a cent more possible for something fancy. Mohair season is nearly due. and pri;es show a slight decline over last year. Ad vices from the East state that this is due to the.- fact that fancy dress goods, of which heretofore mohair has been the prin cipal component, are be'ng largely dis placed by other styles. The Boer war Is also given as a factor, having caused many of the English people to wear more somber or mourning colore. Contrary to the general belief, the mohair market has nothing in common with the wool market, and is in no way Influenced by the price of wool, for with wool bringing better prices than last year, mOhalr la about 5 cents per pound lower. HOPS The hop market Is steady on chpice grades, and weak on poor grades, there being a large surplus of the latter. A few sales have been made since last week at prices ranging from 2 cents pet pound up to 7 cents, with but very few strictly choice hops available in this mar ket. In California, stocks have been pretty well sold out, some reports stating that less than 250 bales remain, with two thirds of these poor quality. In New York there are reported to be about 9000 bales still In the hands of the growers. The Watervllle (N. Y.) Times, of March 6, has the following: There seems to be more activity in the hop market during the past week, but, per haps. It is a last exertion, a sort of dying effort, for with but 121 bales left in the town at this wrltng. the purchasing ability of the buyer is certainly limited. Last week Charles Curtis sold 70 bales at 7 cents, which we reported Friday, and since then Thomas Price sold 22 bales at 9 cents. C. M. Wlckwire 17 at 8 cents, and Henry Shoemaker C3 at 9 cents. POTATOES AND ONIONS The San Francisco market continues rather weak on Oregon Burbanks, and the price is af fected accordingly in the local market. At present. Go cents Is. generally quoted as an cxtieme figure for best stock, but a ferny urlnnd potato might command a shade more. New potatoes are In the San Francisco market at Zt and 3 cents per pound, and at this figure will take some busiross away from dealers In old potatoes. In the Portland market, there Is a demand for seed for Early Rose, and this variety selk hi a small way at 75 to 90 cents per sack. OMons are down to less than 2 cents per icund In San Francisco, but a good !osl atmand in thts city keeps prices on fancy stock up to 2V cents per pound. There is some very fair stock obtainable for 2 ctnts, however. BUTTER The market for best creamery butter has steadied up again, and a few brands which have a regular trade are qui'e firm at 55 cents. Others less favored ani firm nt 50 cents, and there is an ex cellent demand .for all jf the store and dairy winch comes along at quotations. Thi San Francisco market has advanced slig! tly, tut this has had small effect on tne It cal market, as Portland consumers did not take kindly to the California butter whicn was. sent up here a few weeks ago. The demand for shipment to the north Is qu'tc good at the present time, and will proou'uly continue for some time. r.GCS The egg market seems to be on the u; grade, and In single-case lots yec tt'day li cents was the general figure quoted, with round lots selling at HVi cents. There tas been some pretty heavy ship ments to Interior points th's week, and this has kept stocks down to small pro portions In spite of very heavy receipts. Nothing but cold-storage block can be brought from the East at the present time, and this enables the Oregon poultry men to receive better prices than otherwise would prevail. Aside from the shipp.ng demand, there Is also quite a call for local trade. POULTRY Chickens are still selling up around to). notch figures, with not enougn to supply tl.i demand. Old hens are bring ing $5 50 and K without much difficulty, and for fancy stock more Is uometlmei paid. There are a few springs in the mar ket, and they sell at 53 50 for peepers and 55 for half-grown birds. Ducks and geese are dull at quotations, and there Is not much call for turkeys.

NEW YORK STOCK MARKET. Lnrscly in Professional Hnnds, "With Specialties Lending. NEW TORK. March 14. Today's stock mar ket was largely in professional hands, and trading was congested in the epeclaltles again. The professional contingent who hae bought stocks to discount the enactment of the cur rency law sold today to realize. Preasure from this source was pot heavy, but the demand for stocks was so light that the dribbling offer ings made steady inroads upon prices, earning a few of the standard railroad .stocks off a point durlnz the course of the late trading. The movement of prices in the specialties was wider, due to special causes. Sugar was told from Boston, where offers were made of the next dividend below the IVi per cent rate last December on large amounts of stock. Brook lyn Rapid Transit suffered from the refusal of the State Railroad Comminncn to defer the quarterly report. The Rubber stocka felt the unfavorable influ ence of the pleasant weather, accompanied by stories of large stocks to be carried over until next season. People's Gas was sold afresh on Chicago orders. The most oonsplcuous move ment of the day was in Third Avenue, which sold down to 5G in the morning, but shot up to GO late in the 'day after the publication of the receiver's report, driving the bears to coer. The stock reacted 3J and fluctuated feverish ly, closing with a net gain of 5 points. For the most part the speculatH'e attitude is one of continued waiting for the results of the new financial market to manifest themselves. A feeling of doubt increases that, however prompt may be these results, they will not avail to offset the continued drain during the week on the bonk reveries in time to affect the Sat urday bank vtatement. This being the case, that statement is likely to show the surplus re serves practically wiped out. Tomorrow Is the date set for the disburse ment of quite a large amount of dlildends, in cluding that of 520 per share on the stock of the Standard Oil Company. The dividend alone will amount In the aggregate to 520.000,000. Several million dollars audltlonal will be dis bursed as dlidends.on various stocks. Tnls may reasonably be expected to have some ef fect on tomorrow's money market. Today's rate for money was firmly held, but bankers were eager to place loans for the longer periods, while borrowers were unwilling to bid for any but short-time loans, clearly reflecting the ex pectation of easier dajs near at hand. February's record of exports of merchandise attracted attention, as going far to explain the recent heaviness in sterling exchange. In face of larre demands upon the market, and as promis.ng to make the current fiscal jear a record one in the country's trade. Buying of bonds continued on a large scale at adanclng .prices. Total sales were 53.u33.000. United States new 4a declined a, pr cent, and the 3s V Per cent in the bid price. BONDS. U. S. 2s. reg 102 Gen. Electric 59...11G do 3s. reg HlViiN". Y.
