THE MOBNING OREGOlSTAN, THURSDAY, HAT 10, 19W. "U COMMERCIAL AND Good growing -weather for crops, and plenty of money with -which to handl j; them, are fwo very pleasing; features of the trade situation, and In spite, of a slow movement in wheat, and nothing; doing In wool, business In the wholesale districts 1 in this city was never better than it is at the present time. The coming rush to Cape Nome is contributing in no small degree to the lively business situation, as It is not only providing a market at good prices for farm products, but Is putting a large amount of money afloat In other directions. Tho salmon run is quite satis factory and. the prices paid fishermen are the highest on record for so early In the season. Potatoes, eggs and butter have all been steadied up by the Cape Nome demand, although there is & slight sag ging in the price of eggs on account of increasing receipts from, the East on the Sound, and in San Francisco. "W80I is not moving, and there is not very njuch . prospect for any , activity in that great staple for several weeks. The growers seem to be pretty generally in fa vor of holding out for better prices, and Eastern buyers are just as certain 'that they will be able to secure the stocks needed for less- money than is now asked. The hop markets continue easy, with nearly all of the best stock sold, and the few lots that aro now changing hands are of such poor quality that prices are very low. The markets are at last fairly well supplied with Oregon asparagus, peas, beans and similar vegetables; and in small fruits. Oregon strawberries have commenced to arrive. Poultry is steady, with a fair demand. Veal Is weaker, un der the stress of heavy receipts, and pork Is not moving so well as it was last week. The grocery markets are Arm In most lines, with considerable vibration in the local sugar market. Coffee is slight ly lower. "WHEAT The local wheat market still "has that tired feeling, and business Is on rather a- restricted scale The delayed ar rival of a number of ships has resulted in rather large stpeks on spot, and there is accordingly not much Inducement for exporters to operate at the present time without they can do so on a basis that will admit of a profit. Flour exports are still holding up to big proportions, and this naturally keeps the milling demand for wheat fairly steady, although thus far millers have had but little difficulty in securing stock at about export prices. Quotations yesterday were generally around 53 and 54 cents for Walla Walla, the latter being a pretty stiff figure, based on existing freight rats, but possibly without a loss where parties had cheap tonnage, and this season anything under 2S shillings seems to be a pretty cheap ship. Valley wheat is m nominal demand a 52 and 53 cents, and for choice stock the latter figure could probably be bet tered slightly. Bluestem Is nominally 56 cents, with the demand mostly from, tho mills. Crop prospects in the Pacific Northwest continue exceedingly bright, and there has been a vast improvement in the sit uation in California, latest reports from that state Indicating that the output would be fully up to the average. In the East and Middle West, reports are also very gratifying. The Cincinnati Price ' Current, in reviewing Its crop correspond ence for the week ending Saturday, "May 5, says: "Another week of splendid growing weather has just passed, maintaining the promise of the Winter wheat crop where it has heretofore been good, and even Ohio and Indiana are sending in a few reports of some improvement in the out look. The month of April has generally been favorable, and the average condition of tho wheat crop Is now somewhat high er than it was a month ago. In the Northwest the recent weather conditions have been seasonable, and the wheat has a very good start. Our information in regard to the acreage sown to wheat in the Northwest is still limited, but It indi cates that it will be about the same as last year, possibly somewhat less, as there is a great disposition to raise corn and flax, especially 11 ax. "There js little that Is new in regard to -the Interior movement of grain, which is comparatively light. In those sections which have a fair amount of wheat back, as in Ohio, the holding sentiment still prevails." The Liverpool Corn Trade News, al ways hopeful and bullishly inclined under date of April 17, has the following com ment on the record-breaking Argentine shipments: "It Is pointed out that already in 15 weeks. 4.000.0W quarters of the aggregate surplus have been exported, leaving but 3.000.000 to 5,000,000 quarters to be shipped during the remaining 37 weeks of the Argentine cereal year. The highest esti mate of this year's surplus Is 9.000,000 quarters, the more general estimate be ing 7000.000 to S.000.000 quarters, but. tak ing the highest, it will be found that the average weekly shipment for Europe be tween now ana tho next Argentine har vest is 140.000 quarters. It Is true that jiart of the 4.000,000 quarters already shipped comprised some old wheat, but then it Is quite likely that an equal amount of the present crop will be car ried over Into the next season, so that the two items will about balance one an other. Of course, there Is another view of the question, namely, that the demand may be so urgent from Europf that the whole of the remaining surplus will be shipped, say. by the end of August, 20 weeks hence, or at the rate of 250,000 quar ters por week; but this could hardly hap pen, and prices remain where they are today, for to go into a new season next Autumn, bare of Argentine, Indian and probably Australian supplies, leaving It to America and Southeastern Europe alone to meet the entire European demand (in cluding probably 4,000.000 or 5,000.000 quar ters for France) would put a totally dif ferent complexion upon the position to that which we have become accustomed to of late." WOOL. There !s but little change In the wool situation In the local market. But few buyers are in the field, and none of the big Eastern houses is represent ed as yet.' Coast buyers an Indifferent about taking hold, and about the best price they will quote openly Is 1G cents for choice stock. Eastern buyers seem, to think they will get the wool at lower prices, and will undoubtedly hold off as long as possible. Justice, Bateman & Co.'s Wool Circular, under date of May 1, says: "The main characteristic of the present wool situation, both in Europe and in this eountry. is its extreme quietness, although a somewhat firmer tone prevails here. "Manufacturers evidently accept ttie prevailing dullness as an indication that an advance is not probable at present, jind in view of their heavy purchases in the early part of the bull movement of last year, they find It easy to stay out of the market until some actual movement in the direction of hlsher prices has set in. "Undoubtedly the decline of the past ." Sfid"?J? 4ltV 1U44SCIU. 17 V WMa Ui tVUUl K1UWI1 In the United States that Is above quarter- FINANCIAL NEWS Wood in quality can be undersold by Elm lar foreign -wools at their present cost of importation. "In attempting to estimate the probable course of prices in this country. It must not be forgotten that the present situa tion, dull as it Is, as compared with this time last year, is vastly better than then. "One year ago large amounts of old wool remained In tho hands of growers, or middlemen, in the places of produc tion, while this year those sections are practically bare. But of vastly more Im portance at this time is the increased activity of the woolen mills, which are well employed and consuming at least CO per cent moro wool than at this time last year, with Indications that this Increase will continue. "Last year wool began to advance In May, when there were several hundred million pounds moro on hand than is now the case, and woolen machinery was not more than half so well employed then as at present. "Although increasing consumption must ultimately check the decline, If it has not already done so, yet, with larger" stocks In their warehouses and the now clip in sight, manufacturers see no incentive to enter the market at this time. "Firmness, or advancing prices, at the London auctions, which open on the 8th Inst., would probably start the new clip in the United States at better prices than If weakness and lower quotations pre vailed; bat there is a widespread belief J that if higher prices do not come earlier; they are sure to occur during the latter half of the year." "Messrs. Helmutb, Schwartzo St Co., of London, say: " 'Supplies for the next three series of the London wool auctions, taken in the aggregate. Will only about equal the sup plies available at the corresponding scries of last year. "It Is a matter of record that, although about the same as at present, supplies in Europe one year ago were so small as to cause the .greatest advance there In 30 years, and the loss of a part of this ad vance in the early part of this year, be ing but the natural reaction from the pre vious bull movement, it seems reasonable to suppose that not only will this loss be regained, but a still higher level of values be established." . HOPS There is no change In values to eport In the local market, tho sales at the present time being nearly all of off grade stock, which goes at ridiculously low prices. From reports received from the country there will be a much smaller acreage the coming season than there was last season. The New York Journal of Commerce, under date of May '., has the following: "A moderate quantity of stock Is being delivered to brewers, much of it on old purchases; new business Is of small vol ume, and rather disappointing. Receipts begin to show a natural shrinkage, how ever, and with the present light holdings In the Interior a steady reduction in local stocks may be looked for. Dealers are hopeful of maintaining about the line of values now quoted, and the feeling on the whole is steady. Work in tho hop yards Is progressing rapidly under favor able weather conditions; In some sec tions pole setting- Is completed, and tho vine Is coming through the ground. Busi ness In tho country markets Is light, as there" is very little stock to trade on." BUTTER The'butter market has stead led up a little since the recent stagnation, and Is moving fairly well at quotations. A considerable quantity of creamery has been packed in tubs for shipment to Alas ka, tlils demand removing a surplus of several tons from the local market. In rolls, the select "brands of creamery are movlng-at 35 cents, with -some pretty fair stock selling at 30 cents. Store butter Is In good demand at 20 and 25 cents. EGGS The egg market has registered a material decline from the highest -point reached last week, and sales were made yesterday as low as 14 cents, with single case lots moving at 15 cents, and an oc casional sale made at 14 -cents. A car Joad of fresh Eastern eggs struck tho Sound a few days ago,, and San Francisco Is also receiving Eastern stock at prices slightly under those at which Oregon stock Is belnb held. This leaves Port land In a measure dependent on the local demand, and that Is not heavy enough at the present time to take up all of the offerings. Somo complaint Is made by dealers, of careless candling by country shippers. This Is the season of the year when hens steal away and lay a nest full of eggs, which are frequently discovered after the hen has wasted a week or two endeavoring to hatch them. Under such circumstances, the eggs should be re turned to the hen, and not "shipped to the city. POULTRY The market for chlcken3 this week la steady for good stock, and dull for poor offerings. The top figure for hens in good order is about ?5 50, and Springs sell over a range of .U 50 to 51 50 per dozen. Ducks are in poor demand at $3 and ?S for old, but young sell at $6 and J7. Geese are In poor demand for either young or old, and turkeys are easy at quotations. Uaulc CIcarlnfrs. Exchanges. Balances. M0.fl&S $ 25.SO0 Portland . Tacoma. .. Seattle ...

There -was further large liquidation of stocks In the market today, and prices were at one time from 1 to 23 points below last night for a large number of active railroad stocks. Before the close of the market, the losses -were fully retrieved In many stocks, and In not a few of those -which had been moist acutely affected by the selling, small net gains were established. The late recovery was materially assisted by a buoyant rise In Sugar to a level at 5& above last night, and by rather positive strength In the principal stocks. The appearance thus given was that of the competition of a spasm of liquidation, and on the subse quent covering of short contracts, careful observers who had stood by watching' for the low point of the market got In. How well this appearance Is Justified by the actual conditions can only be demonstrat ed by future events. That there was very powerful and skill ful manipulation In the market all day was clear from many Indications. Evt- aenuy tne process oi liquidation was largely concentrated In a few hands, and It was conducted by concerted undertak ing, and with a diligent nursing of op portunities. On any considerable decline tho pressure of the selling promptly re laxed and supporting orders were execut ed which over and over again checked the decline and drove the bears to cover tholr short contracts, which efforts -were met by aggressive bidding up of prices. In the Interest of several of the most prom inent stocks. But every time when prlcta recovered to near lost night's close, the volume of buying orders fell off, and eventually ceased. The flood of liquida tion was then renewed. The volume of dealings on the recovery was palpably much less than that on the decline, and the aggressive bidding up of prices showed that the object was rather to establish a higher level of prices than to secure stocks on the most advantageous nerms. That a turning point must ulti mately be reached after such a period of liquidation, ana a sharp recovery must ensue, makes tho professional bears very cautious In maintaining opposition to an; rising tendency In the New York mar ket. None of the news of the day had any Apparent effect on the movement of prices. Exports of gold to Par!s which amounted to a little over $2,800,000, proved slightly larger than the preliminary estimates. The local money market showed a sl'jtht'y hardening tendency, especially for time loans. AH of the trunk lines, the Pa cifies, Atchisons, Missouri Paclflc and loulsvlllo, were special sufferers from tha liquidation. Liquidation was In evidence In the bond market.

Trade was curtailed, however, owing to the near approach of the Gov ernment crop report, and there -was little effort made to take advantage of the situation until near the close, when a sharp break In the price of May wheat at New York demoralized holders of small scalping purchases which were being car ried here, and these were Immediately dumped, closing the market weak within a fraction of the bottom of the day's range. A poor demand from the outside added to the depression. July closed with a loss of Corn opened firm, but It began to give way almost Immediately, and declined c from the top price made at the opening. July closed near the bottom at a decline of He for the day. Fine crop prospects caused a decline In oats early, but covering by shorts at the decline steadied the market near the close. July closed 22c, a shade lower. An Improved cash demand and higher prices for hogs strengthened provisions. The market closed strong, with a gain of 7&c for pork, 12&c for lard and 7Ui0c for ribs.

Under this in fluence the local market for copper eased off 12 points, closing easy at $16 87. Tin was weak and somewhat lower, under large receipts, and a drop of 5s In London. At the close quotations -were on the basa .of $29 15 bid and $29 CO asked. Iron con tinues weak and nominally quoted at $15" fer warrants. Lead and spelter were steady, the latter due to the good export demand. Prices at the close were on the basis of $4 40g4 45. and $4 54 62 re spectively. The brokers' price for lead was $4 20, and for copper, $17. Bar silver, 59T4c. SAN FRANCISCoTMay 9. Bar silver, GOc LONDON, May 9. Bar silver, 27Jd- Boston "Wool Market. BOSTON, May 9. The American Wool and Cotton Reporter will say tomorrow: There Is no Improvement to be noted in tho wool market, the trade for the most part being completely stagnant. Pending the opening, of the London woo sales on Tuesday of this week, there was no dis position to operate. It was generally ex pected that the sales would open at a further decline, which expectation was realized when, on that day, cables were received announcing declines of from 5 to 10 per cent, and offerings of 290,000 bales. In the local market sales have been very small and prices unchanged. Coffee and Snfrar. NEW 'YORK, May 9. Coffee oprlons closed steady, with prices 5 to 19 points net lower. Sales, 23,oo bags.

In recent telegrams from- Cairo there have .been plentiful allusions to the "sudd." What the "sudd" Is exactly It Is probable that even the well-informed person, Vthe man In the street," does not know for certain. He has been heard to describe It In a noncommittal way as "a kind of undergrowth." However, Major Peake and others of the Sirdar's officers are by this time well acquainted with its nature, since they have been occupied for months In clearing away this nuisance to navigation. The sudd appears to consist chiefly of floating masses of papyrus, grass and a soft-wooded tree called ambatch. and It has blocked the channels of the White Nile from time immemorial. It was part ly cut through in 1874. but In 1SS had col lected again in vast quantities. A remedy -was proposed In Mr. Wlllcock's report of last year, which was to plant willows and poplars so as to assist the formation of definite bank of the River Nile.
