Newspaper Page TextTHE MOKNIXG OBEGOEIAN, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 13, 1900, II (jdSJHiBoiAi m The dates on the -calendar offer about the only testimony to the, fact, that we are nedrFntr midTwlnter, for"'trierels but little In the. veather for the past week that was tVintcrlsh and thte fact con tinues to present generous distribution of Winter goodb." The holiday trade Is on at full swing, however, and If It xnain tains Its 'present proportions. It wlll'be highly isajBSf&ctBry t"6all concerned. 'The demand for Christmas 'goods' is heavier than it has been 'for many years, . and there is also a'gdod trade ih staple gro ceries. Prices for the past, week have ru.-.ed fairfy steady." There was a slight bralge in wheat about a week ago. fol lowed a few days later by a reaction, but -the market is ann on the -up grade, and 2elter" prices1 are hoped ror, although the outlook is not so bright-ae.lt-waa V short time ago. Importations of California produce are heavier thrin they have beet? through the Summer and Fall months; but the Call fornlans are reciprocating ' to a certain extent "by taking more Oregon potatoes and onions than they -vyere- taking a few- weeks earlier. The Northern Pacitic Rail road has again joined-with the Puget Sorund cities to shut Portland out of the .Alaska trade, and this Is affecting the demand for farm produce to a certain es-tent. Up to tnc present time the North ern has crunjted Portland merchants a special rate n produce shipped to Tal coma and Sr attic for A'.nskan porta, but notice has been issued that this rate Is to be withdrawn, and the old local1 rate, -which is' prohibitive, is to be restored. Hi the- rate which has been in effect ever since the steamer T5eo. AV.-Eiderwas on the- Aladc foule Portland was. en abled to And a good market in the north for sr.rplus stocks of butter, eggs, poul try. - otatoes and similar products, which will nbw be Obliged t6 f seek' a market cl x where. . , t C eal and pork, w hlch slumped off a llt ti'j list eek, "under- heivy receipts, 'and roo much poultry In the market, have re gained their strength. and are Felling up no full prices 'this week. Oregon eggs are-hteady, and Eastern eggs and butter are still coming along wlth-as much reg ularity as if there was, .not a .hen or a cow in the state. TheJgrocery markets are holding steady, -vyith fractional advances in certain lines. "WHEAT The wheat market continues to hover around a low level of prices, and the spasmodic periods pi strength are always .followed up by relapses, which leave the cereal in worse shape than be fore the bulge was started- In the local market conditions are about as they have been throughout the season. Fierce com petition among 'more exporters than are operating 'in any other port on the Pacific Coast kr eps prices from 1 cent to 3 cents above tl e export value, and a decline In X.iverpobl and the East is' frequently fol f wed jy an advance locally. Thls'slrange conduct would be" more easily explained if thr;re "vvj'js tonnage to cover, but as their Is wheat' enough on spot to load every ship that can reach Portland by February it nxx), it Is apparent that wheat Is bourrht for 'the purpose of keeping the "other fellow" from buying It, and not be cause It is needed. This may be expen sive pastime, but it has made Portland, the- best wheat market on the Pacitic Coast this season. T Sales of Walll" Walla were made yes terday at 51 "cents. nvhfch?Tvas from. a half cent to a cent better than was openjy quoted by some exporters'- This flgure, with spot shops ho.ldlnj; for -Us, Cd, and cargoes selling at less than ' 2Ss Cd In XJverpool, will not enable a dealer to ljulld brownstone fronts or buy steam yachts out of the profits on the season's "business: but It has theeffect of making trade lively, "and Portland's exports for the season will "be pretty close to the record. There is some, demand .far blue stem at the usual differential of 3 cents per bushel over Walla Walla. V Valley, as has been the case throughout the season, has boen entirely In the -hands of the mil lers, and export quotations are of small value. There Is a good -deal of discussion in agricultural circles as to why wheat hns not followed oth'er products in the strong upwarH movement which has been In progress during the past three months. General prosperity seems to" have lifted other commodities, but general debility Is about the 'only thing that has happened to wheat. AJ"c. Charles N. Miller, an old member of th-e Chicago Board of Trade, and formerly a the New York Produce Exchange, has Just issued -a letter explaining" why the "wheat market does not join the proces sion of prosperity which has advanced the prices of nearly all other commodities in the past three years. It asks.y'What Is the matter with wheat?" and Says: The elevator managers who deal, figure and degrade business. In the 'wheat pit on lho. Chicago Board of Trade. In utter dls oxsgard of the rights of pwnenshlp.. have robbed the producers of wheat :n this country of not less than 5350.000,000 on the last three crops of wheat growJjere De mand for wheat has been the best ever Ttnown in the history of this country, yet the producer has. all this time, been forced to part with his property at mini mum prices. Pick out some commodity that Is honestly dealt in and see if it has not always advanced greatly under a good demand. "What can you name upon which the seller's demand can be made more; mandatory than upon bread? Still, under the dishonest system of deallmr in wheats on the Board of Trade, the pro ducer is powerless to got his own. That's vrtiat's the matter with wheat. Seen months ago a petition, signed by 200 members of the Board of Trade, was .sent to the directory praylns for an op portunity to vote for the establishment of a code of rules that would permit" any member to bid and contract,for a speci fied kind of w heat for delivery at a fixed time. The rules under which this might Ttxj done were drafted; they were simple and direct. Xo existing system jt trad ing was to be abrogated, no new method of dealing whs to be en forced, only the privilege was asked for any member to step into the wheat pit and make an honest bid for an honest grade of wheat, to be hon estly delivered. That petition has been J smothered by men who want to continue In the present dishonest practice: It has never been reported for a vote, which Is a clear violation of the rights of those members who signed, it. That's what's the matter with wheat. The situation is before you; you know the ca,nsestha1i opctate to make wheat dQubtful property and keep the price down. They will "be removed. Either "trie members of the Board of Trade snusfbe permitted to transact their business "un der honest mercantile methods or a new Board' of Trade -will be -sanised. where it shall, bo done. Xational legislation, too. will be Invoked to stop speculation, in all farm, ranch and plantation products, forcing business to a cash basis and an actual deliverj- to insure honest transac tions -and legitimate prices. The hold uo men of the 'board who now make every payer 'ot-thiy tommodlty-stand iu(Saei j mmi m?iSHSSHASS liver at their mandatenniBt be stopped. "When thte "robbery ends there will he nothing -the jnjtter witlrjwheat. &dPrS--The hop" market is decidedly ea&era"tpreseift, VrioTVery "few" transactions- -are reported. ., The growers- who have held on to -their sFock through the period of highest .prices, hesitate to let go. now. that there "has been aUHgnt de ollne. 'A. "Portland dealer yesterday bought 400 bales In Xew York at 15 :ents net, "which, If "the shippins expenses are considered is mucji lower than some hold ers are asking here. The New York Jpuroal of Commerce-reports a ..weaker feeling in the Kist. and under' date of December 8 prints the followlng- The", continued absence of Important de mand has a depressing effect upon the local market, which has eased off materi ally during the Jiast day or two, sales having been made at llc under the pre- 'vlous quotations n some Instances. We j revise our quotations accordingly. Ah Impression prevails that a short Interest f- exists- In-New York State hops, but that those who are short are not looking for any material change In, either direction for some time to come, and are in no hurry to cover, preferring to buy as they need the stock. There is little 'evidence of weakness In the country markets. Ad vlceir from "WatcrvIUe state that while there Is very little business in that mar ket, srowers are still holding for higher prices. "WOOL A few transactions in wool have been reported within the past week, but, in comparison with the amount still on hand, the business has beon of small-proportions. Prices have been tt shade higher, but have nbt'renchcd a point where 'much L business cart be done. From present In dication";, the amount on -hand January 1 wllljje the largest on record at a 'corre sponding date. New York mall advices under date of December S report the mar kets lri the EaM. as follows: ' " "The conTlitlon 'f the market Is rbout what one fnmlllar .-with ihe trade might expect at this season of the year. Man ufacturers are In the throes of stock taking and other buyers prefer to wait until after the openlnc of the new year before incurring additional obligations f.ah"J making new plans. But J-he' past week has been one of unusual peculiarity. The market has been devoid of life;- there has been very little. If any. inquiry on the part of buyers, and knowing 'the dis- inclination of manufacturers to move. sellers have made no effort to dispose of their wools, .-nd yet the sales will aggre gate more than for any one week for several months, the amount being 1,037,00 pounds. Of this 295,000 pounds were do mestic and 742,000 pourids were foreign. The domestic movement remains firm, de spite the scare caused by the Teeent fail ures, and there are "too desirable wools to be, had at prices below the market level. If tfiere is any depression it is due entire ly to the woolen goods situation, which has continued weak during the entire Fall, owing to unseasonable weather. 'So far as the Spring season Is concerned, clothlera.considei' It almost a f.illurc, and they are look'lng to the season In heavy we'ghts to tide them over. It-has been noted that spells of keen, cold weather have. been '.fo:o wed by brisk demand for woolens, but the Wintry blasts in this section have not been of sufficient dura tion to bring continuous trade. Manufac turers have taken little Interest in ter ritory" wools, of which thero is quite a quantity In storehouse in this market. Texas wools, have been quiet but firm, and the market steady. The large pullers are not -wijllng to part tvith their wools H at a figure satisfactory to buyers. Some of the smaller "pullers'in this city, -who arc not considered wool'-dealers in the strict sense of. the term, Ijaye been pressed for money, arid have .parted with their stocks at pries considerably below the market One feature of rocentTtrndJng was the sale of about 100.000i pounds of goats' hair at market prices. tedium wools have been in very quiet request, with the market well sustained. Unwashed and unmer chantable fleeces continue very quiet, but values are maintained. Delaine wools arc held .firmly by the. principal owners, about 1 cent aboVe what manufacturers are willing to pay.' It is explained that bank ers are not pressing the wbol trade for money: on the contrary, there is a feel ing of greater confidence, with the assur ance; that wool paper is good and will be extended". FRUIT There Is an overs.upply of very poor-grade apples on the street, and they are sellins at very low prices, and" by their presence affect the-figures on good stock to a certain extent. It requires very fancy stock to bring much over 51 per-'box. althouch some of the select va rieties Jsell up 'close, to Jfl 50. ' For the ordinary run of offerings, the price ranges from 50 'cents per box up to S5 cents and $U Oranges are becoming quite plentiful, and th.e price Is declining, Bananas are coming in quite freely three carloads scheduled for this week, and all, arriving In excellent condition. The opposition banana company has not yet got to work, so the trust continues to fix the price at a flgure which does not make the fruit very profitable,, for either wholesaler or middlemen POTATOES AND, ONIONS Fairly good shipments of potatoes are again going to San Francisco, and while the price Is not very high, it seems to be sufficiently at tractive to draw- out quite liberal offer ings. Best "Burbanks are worth about 60 cents, but -the -greater part of the offer ings sell around 50 and 55 cents. The San Francisco market is also taking up some of the surplus of onions In this state, and while the Bay City dealers will not pay the ""price asked fbr"select stock in Portland, there Is a shippng demand at about Jl 25 and U 40 per cental.

'EGOS The, market, aas "appareritly steadied again; and the demands of jthet coming holidays -will undoubtedly be suP ficlcnt to keep It from Tailing further in spite- of the slight Increase' in' receipts from this -state and the continued Impor tation of Eastern 'eggs.

Activity" In a f ties was taken by traders today to dem onstrate Increased Interest in the stock market on the nresont outside nubile 1 Gains in these stocks were more extensive jban the usual market leaders, and -ex- tended to four -points in some cases. Gen erally speaking, the market during the forenoon displayed great animation and strength, with speculative interest radi ating from one group of stocksv to an other. Factors which contributed to the day's, rise included traffic statements for the .first 'week of December, embracing all sections o&the country, and showlne substantial Increases. The fact that us yet money rates have not exceeded 6 per cent, and that today the highest figure made was 514. which tapered off to 4 per cent before the close, rendered specu lators less "uneasy. " "" "With the absorption by the Subtreasury of Internal revenue collections, and trans fer to the Interior, the banks thus far this week have lost $3,200,000. Rates ur sterling exchange continued to yield, 60 day bills declining 4 per cent. Itris" un derstood that the question ot imports of gpld Is being considered by a prominent Institution on the basis of allowing In terest on the money while in- transit. With this relief apparently in sight, should conditions become stringent In the money market,' speculative pools became active, and forced considerable 'covering of .short lines. The market fJr Ameri cans abroad was described as buoyant, and the arbitrage houses bodght about 33.000 shares on balance for London. Th'.i demand was primarily responslblefor the weakness In sterling exchange rates, as offerings of commercial acceptances were only moderate. At the outset of,busIness the coal stocks were the principal features', and generally got well above last night's close on an enormous demand. These properties later on showed the effect ot heavy realiza tions. Heavy buying developed in the steel stocks, owing to encouraging re ports of the trade outlook. Tin-plate made the extreme rise of 2, but Steel and Wire was the most active, and a good second, with a gain of 24. There was very heavy buying at Intervals In the grangers. Pacific and some of the Southwestern stocks. During the "early afternoon, after the foreign buying had ceased, the demand showed 9lns of ex haustion, and prices were Inclined to yield. .., . v -' In the final hour a raid was nnil-s on Tennessee Coal, and the stock broke 4-"li on a rumor that the dlrec?ors trwe lri session .and had passed the quarterly dividend on the stock. This movement unsettled the entire market, and prices fell away rafpldly, averaging a point" for the" most prominent railroads and ex tending to 2"A in the specialties; Tin-plate being most affected. When It became known that the report of'dlvidend action . on Tennessee Coal was unfounded, the stock rallied 2 points, and all other stocks recovered somewhat, speculation leaving -off strong again and active. ' Business in bonds' was very heavy, not able strength being displayed by Kansas Sz. Texas' Issues. Total -sales, par value J5.07O.O0O.

The American Wool and Cotton Reporter will say tomorrow: There is- some Improvement to be noted In the wool market although prices can not as yet be quoted higher.

The sales are more generally distributed In the trade, and the number of manu facturers, who have been buying Is larg er but they are operating very care fully. Manufacturers are talking hope fully in several instances and feel en couraged as to the outlook for the heavy weight season. The colder weather has acted as a stimulus and this has been ac centuated by the tenor of advices from abroad, where tops have advanced l-c per pound and w ool markets are generally firmer.
