They nver "call." but al ways "raise," and accordingly Portland is the best market on the Coast for wheat. , and exporters hammer away merrily at each other undisturbed by the condition of tht jj2stof the world's markets and "unvexed-'by -gain.'.' ; The ruling price for "Walla "Walla yes- terday was In the vicinity of 51 cents, but Some buyers paid more", and others bid less". Bluestem is nominally 2 cents per bushel higher, and Valley Is out of the market, so 'far as exporters are con cerned. Freights are steady at about 41s 3d to 42s for January loading, with not "very much near-by 'tonnage offering. There is considerable tonnage offering for "next season loading, but the rates asked. 37s Cd to 38s 3d, are not attractive enough 1 to bring lnthe buyers. The 'condition: of the growing crop continues 'quite favor--. able all over the Northwest, and much the same situation is reported elsewhere. Tho Cincinnati Price-Current summarizes Its c,orrspppdencef for the week ending December 15. as follows: The geenrally good condition of the growing wheat crop is being maintained. The existence of fly deposits In many placed is all that prevents the outlook from being almost perf ect.i The season so far has been very open; there has not yet been severe freezing in the "Winter terrain regions. During the past week the 3qw" lemperaturesxanged,mostly" in' tHe 20s, with dry weather over the "Winter wheat section. In regard to 4he hesslan fly, it Is noticeable "that while It now spfreads ""oVer ir-tnuch -wider territory than last year, extending froai Pennsylvania to Kansas, the Intensity of its ravages in Ohio and Ipdana sqems to be less than In the last crop, in these states, Ohio ana Indiana, the appearance of the wheat Is -jijore favorable now than it was at a "corresponding time last year. "Wool The7ooJhnarket is still dragging. There Is some strength in the situation, but the, ideas of sellers are so far above triose "of buyers that very little busl- ness results. T?tc amount of stock in first " hgndsin, this state on January I will be the largest on record, but dealers expect a. livelier movement shortly after the New "Year. Tiie situation In the East Is thus reportedly the New York Journal of Commerce, under date of December 15: The market presents a more encour aging feature in, the Increased number of inquiries ncteo. But these inquiries have not resulted in tranactions, as a rule, -though where holders will sell at a price some very fair sales have been m-adc. - Th" Irregularity of prices, is -due.

That there Is a good deal of wooY" in the local market which was . bought at high prices, but which cannot be moved at present figures, is generally admitted. , It is also confidently stated ' that the stock In manufacturers' hands lias no.t been low er In a long .time. It is a question, however, whether- there will be any change in the conservative pur chases tljat have -been made ,?jy manufac turers for so long. The situation in the piece goods market at present would not seem tor Justify a more radical course. Samples of-new heavy weights will not be opened before the first of the year, as a generaUthings, and the -seems to be a good deal of doubt as t'j the possibilities " Of" the -new season. It is the opinion of many that with a -jew clip only five monthsdisiant and th present clip very slightly distributed, biryers will'take only what Is required for absolute necessi ties Jlntil the new xr puts in Its ap pearance. Hops-Wlth but SOTO bales of hops still unsold In the staU;, there Is "naturally not very much lite in the business, and the market has "lapsed -into a state of dullness with prices rather against hold- ers. The1 Basteni market Is reported de void of InterestVJjg features, with brew ers buying sparingly, or not at all, and the export tnuii apparently satisfied for the time being- Despite this dullness and J a quiet .foreign market "holders are show ing no dlspoifjion to shade prices. The, Watei-vllle, N. Y., Times, of the 11th inst say: "Our buyers report it very quiet aoout here.

There is. also -a good supply of very choice pineapples- a-nd Japanese oranges, which, with t apples;, grapes, bananas, etc, will meet the dejnandsof the-season in good ehane. Apples are a little firmer on choice stock, FINANCIAL NEWS but there is still an oversupply of com mon varieties. From present appearances, quite a few Christmas turkeys will be served without cranberry sauce, as there Is a decided scarcity of cranberries in the market, and prices are soaring to extrav agant heights. BUTTER A carload of Eastern butter Is rolling in this direction, and this, to gether with continued mild weather, which holds receipts up to pretty fair proportions, prevents much strength la the market, although there Is no change in prices. Best creamery sells at 524 and 55 cents, and a shipping demand takes, up all of the store butter offering at 25 and 22 cents per roll. The holiday trade, of course, prevents an accumulation of stocks. EGGS Efforts to get the price of ecs down much below 30 cents have not been very successful, and while this figure has been shaded occasionally, there is not much difficulty in moving all of the strict ly fresh stock at the top figure. The holi day demand, of course, is greater thai, that of a month earlier, when hlghet prices prevailed, but the supply 1s greater. Eastern arc still plentiful at 20 to 22$s cents. POULTRY The advance guard of Christmas turkeys struck town yesterday and undoubtedly sold for better prices than will be realized later, unless re ceipts should be lighter than usual. Live sold as high as 12 and even 13 cents yes terday, while best dressed stock sold at 14 and 15 cents. There were some culhv which went for .less money, but the market-might be termed fairly steady for good stock at full prices. Dealers are anxious, however, lest the stock be held back too long and the outside demand filled from other quarters. If good shlti ments are received today they will prob ably clean up at good prices, but if ev erything Is held back until the last day and then rushed in on the market, there will be the usual break, and some stock sold at sacrifice rates. A carload of East ern turkeys are en route to this city. The aproachlng Chinese festivities havw caused a better demand for ducks, ana some sales have been made as high as ?6 per dozen. Geese are moving fairly well at $6 to $S per dozen, with some large stock selling 50 cents higher. Chickens continue in very bad shape, although good stock sells In a small way at $4 per dozen. There is a moderate demand for dressed chickens at 8 and Sc per pound. Bank ClcnrlnsrB. Erchances. Balances.

NEW YORK STOCK MARKET. Furious Activity With a Feverish and Unsettled Close. NEW YORK, Dec. 19. There was no appreciable let-up In the furious activity in the stock market today, or In the act ive, broad and varied trading. A quick market was offered for the volume of stock, and the strength continued at va rious points in the list, but the taking of profits proved heavier than for some time past, and made a general Inroad upon prices. The market fairly turned reac tionary throughout at one time, under the Influence ofsome rather violent breaks In special stocks. Tin Plate was the most effective of these, when It slumped 3 after the show of early strength. A drop of 14 points In New York Air Brake was Impressive In Its way, but had little el-, feet on the market. The reactionary ten dency of the junior Vanderbllts developed that speculators had been taking rather too sanguine a view of possible readjust ments of securities of these companies. Cleveland, Cincinnati, Chicago & St Louis stocks fell back heavily, although some went up briskly In the morning. An effort was made to reclaim the bull posi tion In the final hour by sudden advances In Northern Pacific, Sugar, Illinois Ceii tral. General Electric, Chicago Terminal Transfer and the Wisconsin Central stocks. The advances in these from the low point ran from 224 points. Prices did not stiffen In sympathy, but the spec ulative enthusiasm was fully renewea, and the market closed very feverish and unsettled, with a point or more loss 01 some of the gains. Even the Erie stocks, which had been the real backbone for some days, came to a pausje today, and the first preferred, after rising 2, reacted 1, with a final fractional rally. There was reaction from the high point many times before In the present move ment of stocks, and the real lack In to day's market seems to be that thp new stocks which were available to be rushea up were not sustaining forces In the mar ket. Pretty much the whole list has been exploited in the course of the present speculation. The character of the market, otherwise than In theyse technical partic ulars, was not materially changed. Professional operators took the bear side of the market with the culmination of the rise and sold freely on the short side today, as they have done for several days past, but they also covered largely before the close. The demands of the speculation upon the money market have made no Impression yet upon money rates, a development which would prove an ef fectual check upon excessive speculation. The bond market was active and strong. Total sales, par value, 55.260.000. United States refunding "2s advanced and new 4s declined 4 per cent on the last call. BONTJS. U. S. 26, ref. reg.105 IN. T.

The American Wool Sz Cotton Reporter will say tomorrow: "The colder weather of the past week or 10 days has started a somewhat better business in the clothing trade, which Is reflected In a slightly Increased Inquiry for wool, but the amount of business actually transacted In the latter com modity shows no improvement; In" fact. it Is slightly less .than that of last week. The general fellng Is that the volume of business in the wool market will be of mqderate prpportiona from.now until alter the turn of the new year. Manufactur ers, are buying 'wool only to meet press ing wants. The wool trade, therefore, naturally anticipates a decidedly improved demand for wool after the turn of the year. The market may be quoted as quite steady. Actual selling prices remain un changed. "The sales of the week In Boston amounted to 3,570,000 pounds domestic and 230,000 pounds foreign, making a total of 3.S00.OCO pounds, against a total of 4,212,000 for the previous week, and a total of 3,363, 000 for the corresponding week last yar.
