11 THE FOILING OEEGONIAN, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 4, 1901. CQMMERGIAL AND F1NAHG1AL NEW A few days of -warm mmshlne following the State Fair weather of last week, have per mitted farmers and fruitgrowers to perform a large amount of -wor. and1 repair to" a considerable extent the damage occasioned by the rains of the week previous. In the dlver slfled fanning districts, there Is more activity than elsewhere, as the grain crop has been pretty -well taken care of, except in the Big Bend and a portion of the Palouse countries. "Wholesale merchants report an unusually heavy Fall trade, and these reports are cor roborated by country merchants visiting the metropolis. The movement of wheat, the great staple of this country, has "been rather elow, but It does, not appear to have hampered the purchasing power of the farmers, gpr there is an enormous demand for seasonable staples all over the Pacific Northwest. The logging output, in spite of the recent reduc tion In prices, is still hovering around record proportions, and the only complaint made In the lumber business Is of a shortage of cars. The hop harvest la over, and there is some movement of stock's toward the market, al though the prices offered are so unsatisfac tory as to check the movement which might naturally be expected -with so many hops In the country. The prune crop Is now being caved In fairly good shape, and whlle the rain last week caused considerable damage, If there Is no further trouble, enough -will be saved to make the total output or Oregon and "Washington the greatest on Tccord. Late va rieties of peaches are now coming on the market, and are commanding good prices. 'In butter and eggs, there is a slight Tveakness, and poultry is also on the decline. "Veal and pork are steady. Groceries Arm, with so changes of importance. "WHEAT "Fifty-cent -wheat" at Portland is again within very short reaching distance, and the settled conviction that it will touch that figure is now followed by an apprehensive feel ing that It may go much lower. "Walla "Walla cargoes set afloat within the past 60 days have been "hawked" around the European markets since Monday, offering as low as 27s Cd, with no takers. "Whether right or wrong, the European buyers have apparently decided that there Is enough wheat in the world to meet all of their requirements without the necessity of forcing prices to higher figures. The soundness of this belief can hardly be questioned when famine-stricken Russia Is dumpinsr the cereal on that market at the rate of about 2,000,000 ljushels per week, and the United States and Canada also show up week after week with shipments approaching and occasionally breaking the record. "Without doubt some of the apathy shown by forden buyers is due to the wild exaggera tion of some of the statisticians who have sent out estimates on the American crop. This crop is large enough without any exag geration, to act aa a drag on. the market for many months, and the efforts of "car-window statisticians" to further inflate It is repre hensible In the extreme. An illustration "of J the kind of stuffing that is being fed the European bears is shown right here in the Northwest. A small weekly printed In this dry, and bearing the title. "Only grain paper on the Pacific CoJt." is sending out figures showing the crop of Oregon. "Washing ton and Idaho to be over 53,250.000 bushels. These- figures are over 7,000,000 bushels above those of the railroad' companies, who are in the closest touch with the situation, and from 4,000,000 to 8,000,000 bushels above the esti mates made by leading grain exporters. If the entire American crop was padded out and cxaggeratedin this ratio. It would show a total of over 800,000,000 bushels of wheat. These wild estimates, when they reach the European buyers, affect the wheatgrowers of the Pacific .Northwest more seriously than they would those of any ether part of the ccuntry. They not only have a tendency to depress the market through showing a larger quantity cf wheat than actually exists, but they force freights up to figures not war ranted by the actual condition of stocks. It will require. SO ships to move S.000,000 bushels of x;heat, .nd If the foreign shipowner be lieves that these additional ships will be needed to move the crop, he will advance rates proportionately. Locally, where the true value of these estimates is known, they have no effect, but when they are placed In the hands of -unscrupulous bears In the East and in Europe their power for mischief is greatly enlarged. Of course these phantom stocks dis appear annually, when the final returns are in, act it Is as easy to discard a few million bushels for chicken feed, etc, use it as pad ding for "flour shipments by way of British Columbia ports" or as "stocks of flour in in terior mills," as it Is to create it in the first place. Until this pestiferous method of "bear ing" the wheat market and "bulling" freights Is discouraged, the law of supply and demand will not have full sway In this territory. There Is very little doing in Valley wheat far export, the interior mills taking the bulk of the afferlnc at slightly higher figures than can be paid in this market. The crop In the Valley lias not turned off as well as was expected, and early estimates have been ma terially reduced. Freights have followed wheat down the grade, although they liave somewhat of an advantage over the cereal through hold ing a stronger statistical position. But few new charters have been reported for several days, the difficulty in disposing of cargoes preventing exporters from taking hold of new business. The car shortage has been relieved to a certain extent, and the ships In port are gradually cleaning out. There are two disengaged ships in the river, but for the past few days they have been off the market, owners preferring to await a roactlon in the wheat market, to chartering at a rate that would be paid on a market as sick as that now prevailing. The expected French demand does not ma terialize, and accordingly steamers are not wanted at any price. There is undoubtedly a shortage In the French crop, as compared with that of a year ago, but there is a belief that considerable of this shortage has been pro vided for In the early buying In August and September. The "Bulletin des Halles" of September 7 computes the French wheat crop at 000,000.000 bushels. This is about 8,000,000 less than lost year, but it Is .from. 20.000,000 to 40.000.000 bushels above some estimates that were made early In the Summer. The lowest estimates were made by the organs of the farmers; there were at the same date estimates In the mil lers organs of about what the "Bulletin de3 Halles" now puts the crop, and this paper represents the sentiment of the grain trade rather than that of the producers, who are, perhaps, as apt as our own to make wry low estimates of their crop prospects. The crop estimate above Is about 10,000,000 bush els under the average for 10 years, and It Is 45,000,000 to 50,000,000 bushels under the aver age consumption. The Bulletin says the es timated German deficit Is confirmed by the fact that in the 12 months ending July 31 the Importation of wheat was nearly 12,000,000 bushels greater than In the previous year. The present shortage, of course, could not have visibly Influenced the Imports till early la the Summer. The latest news from Russia, says the Bulletin, is that both Winter and Spring wheat are very deficient over a large part of the empire, and the crop will he considerably Inferior to that of last year. HOPS Next to wheat, the most Important staple now on the market Is hops. The crop has all been saved In good shape, but the selling movement as yet is very light. Hutch croft Bros , of TamhlU County, yesterday eoII a lot ot 375 bales, the largest sale yet reported this season. The price paid was 10 costs per pound, and is said to be very near the top price, with some sales reported as low as S cents .per pound. Mall advices from a prominent London hop dealer, under date of September 20, have the following: "We are happy to be able to report a good crop of hops, probably nearly equal to the great crop of 1S&0. if all gathered, but the low prices current for Inferior hops may cause some grounds which have deteriorated to be left unpicked. "We look, however, for fully 000,000 cwt. of English heps, according to the Govern ment return. "We have made an extensile personal Inspec tion of the chief hopgrowlng districts, and from what we saw. and also from the cam ples of new hops now on the market, we believe the growth to be of good quality gen erally, but nc doubt there will be great variety In the samples, and a fair proportion of discolored or slightly diseased hops. Thee has been a preat increase in "brambllngs" or early goldlngs grown In the "Weald of Kent, and these hops are extremely good in quality and arc now offering at very moderate prices. Very few of the best East Keats are as yet on sale: the growers have of late years kept them back until October, so that the market Is likely to be scantily supplied with this class of hops for the next two or three weeks; other sorts, however, are offered freely. Our reports from the Continent are variable, and on the whole the growth Is short of last year, and their prices likely to be higher than ours. From the Pacific States accounts are -generally good; the crop will probably be somewhat less than last year; the quality, however, is expected to be very good, especially the "Ore gone." but it Is Impossible to speak very con fidently until we see the samples; they are not likely to be so low In price as cheap or medium English hops. Present quotations: Best East Kents now at market. 75 to 00 Choice Mids 70 to 80 Best "Wealds brambllngs 65 to 72 Best "Wealds fuggles 60 to 65 Sussex 50 to 63 Worcester and Farnham, best 65 to 75 Taking the 70-shIlllng quotation of Choice Mid Kents, and making deductions for freight. Insurance, exchange, storage, commissions and difference in tare, and the hops would net about 10 cents f. o. h. cars in this state. Some growers have very bullish ideas regard ing the situation, and one j of these? Mr. G. Muecke. of Aurora, Or., has issued the fol lowing circular: Hop situation of the "United States for the fiscal year of September 1, 1001, to August 31, 1902.

Cneese Full cream, twins, 1213c; Toung America, 13V14c Apparent surplus for export 15,500 Against an anual average export during 10 years of 70,000 bales. The above estimates were undoubtedly made quite awhile ago, ast the actual outturn has proved much greater. The latest reports showing Oregon with 63,000 bales. California 50,000 bales. Washington 20,000 bales, New Tork 70,000 bales, Wisconsin 4000 bales (Pabst Brewing Company already purchasing 4000 bales of Wisconsin hops). This would make a total of 213,000 bales, which with Mr. Muecke's figures for stocks and Imports would show an available supply of 228,500 bales. The consumption by brewers is usually given at 150,000 bales per year, and there Is accord ingly an apparent surplus for export of 78t000 bales. Added to this is 4000 bales of British Columbia and S000 bales from other provinces In Canada, making a total ot 90,000 bales. In 1S3D. when the European hop crop was much the same as It is this year, the exports were 31,000 bales, but taking the annual average as given by Mr. Muecke and It Is apparent that there will be enough hops to go round and some to spare. OATS AND BARLEY There is a fair de mand for oats, but the crop is so large that there is no Improvement in prices. Feed stock is selling over a range ot 90 cents to 0'H cents per cental, and choice milling stock will command $1, and a shade more in a small way. The bids for delivery to the Government at $1 02& per cental f.how SI to be around the top. Barley Is moving fairly well at $15 and $15 50 per ton, with $16 paid occasionally, There is considerable bar ley going East by rail from some localities cast of the mountains, and this is helping the local market slightly, as the export demand is not sufficient to take all that is offering at very good prices. POTATOES AND ONIONS There is a very light shipping demand for potatoes, nnd as the local demand does not amount to much; prices are easy at about $1 to $1 10 per .sack for best Burbanks. Onions are coming In more i plentifully, and sales arc made to wholesalers at a cent a pound, except for an occasional fancy lot, which will command as high as ?1 15 per cental. BUTTER Receipts of butter are not quite so heavy as they were last week, but they are still large enough to prevent much strength In the market, except for the fancy selects, which clean up as fast as they are received. Prices for creamery show hut little change, best going at 27Jc, and good selling at 25c and 2Cc per pound. Store butter Is very scarce, and sales are generally made at 14 and 15 cents per sound. EGGS Another carload of Eastern eggs struck town yesterday, and there Is a fur ther weakening In the price of strictly first class stock. The Eastern eggs are offering at 20 cents for cold storage and 22 cents for fresh, with fresh OregorfEelllng at 23 and 24 cents, and occasionally by an effort 25 cents being secured. Receipts of Oregon are not heavy, but there Is an unlimited supply of Eastern stock. POULTRY Until yesterday, the poultry mar ket was quite firm, but heavy receipts have cut prices down and stocks of chickens are accumulating all over the clfy. It requires very fine stock to bring much over $4 per dozen, and $3 50 per dozen Is an extreme figure for large springs. Geese are dull and hard to move at $G and $7, and ducks sell slowly at $3 and $4 per dozen. Turkeys are In good supply, and prices have declined to 11 and 12 cents for live birds.

If no pur chaser was forthcoming for a stock at the last quoted price It was offered at succeslve ly lower prices until the making of a pur chase fixed the new price level. The results of this process demonstrated a barrenness of the public appetite for the securities, which is a revelation to many persons who have been Impressed with the quoted prices ruling in the market. These prices in many cases were made during the period of active specu lation, when purchasers could be attracted by the mere device of a sudden advance in market quotations. Actual transactions In a number ot the securities have been few and far between for many months past. Today's operations revealed the fact that the supporting orders which were kept in these stocks while there was any hope of outside nurchases had been entirely with drawn and the quotations crumbled away into fragments under the offering down pro cess above described. Some of the sufferers In the arltus movements were affected by specific developments, such as declining earn ings and actual or threatened now compe tition, but the whole class of stocks was too generally affected for any explanation to suf fice except one of general application. The severe speculative losses caused by the re cent collapse In the price of Amalgamated Copper Is probably the Immediate cause of the spirit of distrust engendered against the industrials a3 a class. The action of the United States ' Steel Cor poration on Tuesday In publishing a state ment of monthly net earnings induced a feel ing that other Industrial corporations must follow suit or suffer loss of confidence. A state ment of the extreme declines recorded will servo to complete the story of tho day.These were: National .Salt, loi; no sales of tho preferred, but quoted at 5560 at the clos ing, compared with the previous sale of 75: International Power. 12; New York Air Brake, 7374; Glucose Sugar, 8: Bergen County Gas and United States Rubber pre ferred, 5; National Lead preferred, "3; Amer ican Wool preferred and United States Rub ber common, 3; American Smelting, 3&; Tennessee Coal, Twin City Rapid Transit and People's Gas, 3. The list of Industrial stocks which declined from 1 to 2 Is too long for specification here. Tho railroad list was extremely dull and rather sluggish, but It Is significant of tho spirit of the speculation that New York, Chi cago & St. Louis second preferred relapsed 54 points, the common 34 and tho other Vanderbllts from 1 to 2 after their recent manipulation. The whole market closed active and weak, after showing some re sistance during the day, owing to the weak ening effect of tho industrials. Railroad bonds were irregular.

CHICAGO, Oct. 3. Conditions favored an advance in corn at the start. Cables were unchanged and there was a scarcity of offer ings, which caused December to open c higher at 56?i56c. Though there was little trading, there was an inclination on the part of recent long liquidators to reinstate. Tho scantiness of offerings pointed to a considera ble shortage outstanding and December corn advanced to 57c The bear crowd, while not selling, was Inclined to antagonize the ad vance, and Jate In the session, when a report that the Iowa crop report would give a con dition of 70 against September's 50, prices began to sag, and December closed easy, lie higher, at 50c. Wheat followed the lead of corn In a dull and weak market. December opened a shade to !jj!ic higher, at C9G9!6c, on better cables and the buojant feeling in corn. Most of the traders deserted the wheat pit for. com, and what little business there was was among scalpers. When corn advanced wheat followed and later when corn sagged wheat dropped In sympathy.

Havemeyer Makes n Cut of 1 Cents Per Pound. NEW YORK. Oct. 3. The Journal ot Com merce says: President H. O. Havemeyer, ot the American Sugar Refining Company, was at his ofilce this week, for the first time since his Illness, and it has been learned that one ot hib first official acts was to authorize one of the most spec tacular regulations In refined sugar prices that lave ever been made. This was the reduction announced In Tuesday's dispatches. It applies only to such sections ot the country in which beet sugar competes. Tho cut in price to Mis souri River points was to 3 cents a pound net for granulated. Tuesday the net quotation was 5.03 cents net. In other words, Mr. Have- I meycr has authorized a cut slightly In excess of 1 cents a pound. - To understand the Importance of this cut to beet sugar manufacturers it. should be men tioned that the practice of the beet people Is to make contracts for their entire produc tion at prices based on the selling price of the sugar combine on the date of delivery. The beet people have heretofore been easily able to dispose of all their sugar at a dis count of 10 points from the American Sugar Refining Company's figures. This .means, if the beet people live up to their contracts, mat they will receive only 3 2-5 cents a pound for their product. It is understood, however, that the beet-sugar people will refuse to r,ecognlzo tho cut made by the American Sugar Refining Company, on the technical ground that It is in restraint o trade. The beet-sugar refinerB of Utah, Colorado, California and Nebraska are the refiners concerned. The American Sugar Refining Company usually supplies sugar for the Missouri River points from its New Orleans and Pacific Coast refineries. They' now have, however, at least 20,000 barrels of granulated sugar held on con signment at Kansas City and near-by polnt3 shipped from New York during the latter part of July and the first half of August. It Is ex pected that this will have an unsettling In fluence upon the local market, but It Is not expected that It will be followed by any Impor tant cut in prices in the Eastern market. No change was made In the sugar combino's price for Eastern markets yesterday, and the difference of 1.10 cents a pound still holds be tween the price of the raw and the manufac tured article. The American Sugar Refining Company people assert that beet interests can produce granulated sugar at 2 cents a pound, and that there Is therefore a good profit at 3 cents a pound. Thjs is denied by the beet people. B-STBRK LIVESTOCK. CHICAGO, Oct. 3r Cattle Receipts, 9300; best easy, others dull and lower.

Mr. Stltt says that little mining had been done this year at Nome on account of the lateness of the Tains, but more especially because the claims are . mostly tied up with litigation and cannot be operated. He looks for rich developments when, litigation Is se'ttled. About 4000 people will Winter at Nome. Mr. Stltt says that provisions of every Itind are reasonable and in great abund ance, and one can live as well there as In Portland. Mr. Stltt has been making trips back and forth 0 Alaska for the past 20 years. He spent six years with the Treadwell mines. FOR SAN FRAN CISCO. SS. Columbia Oct. 9. 19, 29 SS. Geo. W.
