QMERG1AL JW0
Fall trade has attained large volume, and
the industries of the country are cnJoyingSwn-'
hampered prosperity. Merchants report much
business, ooth within and -vrithout the city.
The usual st aMlne-ptt In trade activity, -which,
comes at the end of a. month, is aot perceptible.
Bank clearings reflect large distributive trade
operations, and also large shipments of grain
from this port.
The only nnusual quiet for this season of the
year exists in hops ..and wool. Growers are
not willing to do business at the present level
of prices, and buyers in their turn, are dis
posed to wait for a more favorable issue. As
yet, little of either product has been disposed
of. "Wheat 'has suffered a slight reaction from
its recent advance, but is still commanding
good values compared with .former Quotations.
Potatoes have been gathering strength lately,
a fact which some dealers regard portentous
of high prices this "Winter. Onions ore also
lncllpeS to advance. Fresh Oregon eggs are
very scarce, so that consumers have to resort
to cold storage and imporedproduct. - Weak
ness has come over butter to such an extunt
that a decline is probable. Srocery .Quotations
have been In the main unchanged for the past
few days. Coffee '; strong, .and cheaper grades
have advanced :.urly 1c in the past 10 days.
Packing-house products are steady. A full
supply of Eastern chestnuts has recently ar
rived, which sells for $4 005 per drum. A
very conspicuous development of the week
has 'been the advancing price of barley.
WHEAT This wheat market, after a consid
erable show of strength last week, has again
struck a soft spot, and prices in Europe and
the East are, .lower. There has been a. very
free selling movement in the Northwest since
the last bulge, the cereal coming out so freely
that exporters were enabled to cover their
tonnage as far ahead as the turn of the year.
At the height of the market, prices for Walla
Walla ran up to 55c, but since the decline most
of the exporters have their limits down around
55c, although a fraction more might be secured.
Valley continues largely In the hands of the
millers, and exporters axe unable' to pay as
much for it tfor export as Is paid for milling.
-As previously .stated, the larger portion of the
advance In prices in the Pacific Northwest Is
due to the feline in freights, and were char
ters held as high as they were three months'
ago, 50c wheat would be In evidence at tide
water. At the present time, tonnage can be obtained
for December 3oadlng at 35s. and for January
loading at 33s 9d. These rates seem to be
fairly satisfactory, and a number of fixtures
have been made on this basis, with one or
two fixtures with the February option at 22s
Cd. Steam tonnage appears to have about
reached the limit so far as the round-the-Horn
trade Is concerned, and nothing is obtainable
at less than 32s Cd to 33s 8d, the last fixture
being made at 33s 9d. "While sailers can un
doubtedly carry wheat at a profit at much lees
than 35s, the operating expenses of a steamer
are so great that owners are inclined to lay
them "up rather than accept lower -rates than
31s to 32s 6d. ThejJforelgn -market 'this season
has been in suoh shape that for the greater
part of the time sail -tonnage has commanded
i -premium of from Is 3d to 2s 6d over the
rates asked for steamers. If this differential
is maintained, it is apparent that sail tonnage
will strike bottom at higher figures than steam
ers, when the latter Are forced out of the
Pacific Coast wheat trade by low rates.
Shipments for the monjh ending today will
come very close to the record for October. They
will reach' a total frdm Portland and Puget
Sound of over 3,500,000 bushels of "wheat with
at least another 1,000,000 bushels going out in
the form of flour. Shipments from the entire
Pacific Coast have been much heavier this sea
son than last, and lor the first nine months of
the calendar year have reached a total of 24,
507,14" bushels of wheat, and 1,965,853 barrels
of flour, compared with 16,701,716 bushels of
wheat, and 2,210,872 barrels of flour for the
corresponding: period last year. Tb decrease
In the flour trade will all be -made up by the
end of the year,'asihe size of the shipments
to date have .T)ecn affected by the stagnation in
the trade in the Orient, which was so marked
earlier in the year. The Argentine crop seems
to he the big factor in the situation Just at
present, and while there has undoubtedly been
some damage, it is probable that the effect has
been pretty well discounted.
The Liverpool Corn Trade News, under date
of October IB, prints the following regarding
tho Argentine -crop:
Cable advices report another spell of dry
weather, which appears to have been accom
panied by considerable heat, and fresh Tatns
are urgently needed. Our own agent -puts the
damage at probably 25 per cent, which Is, of
course, a serious item, but possibly some of
this damage was caused by the earlier drought,
of which the effects is now being discerned.
As some offset to the weather damage, there
is an Increased area. Shipments of wheat con
tinue very small, and stocks are still shrinking;
for maize, however, the downward movement
of supplies appears to be checked.
The same paper contain the following regard-'
ing the crop in other countries which Just at
present have quite an Important bearing en
the world's wheat prices:
Russia Latest reports indicate that the
weather has generally favored the seeding of
tho new crop, although -a dry spell hinders the
work in the southeast. Shipments of wheat
are maintained fairly well, but the movement
is not at all heavy, and It may be that tho
scarcity of Spring wheat in the eastern and
southeastern parts will keep weekly quantities
w'thin the moderate limits right through the
season. However, Russia Is a lapd of aur
rrises, and the only thing that seems a cer
tainty is a large crop movement under the
stimulus of high prices.
Tndla The Viceroy sends another rather un
favorable report. Drought still prevails in the
Punjaub. the northwestern provinces, -and some
other districts, causing a loss, of the Summer
crop, and, of course, until raids fall it will be
Impossible to seed the Winter -crop, of which
wheat forms an important item in the piov
inces mentioned. In the earliest districts it js
now time for wheat seeding to be proceeded
with, but there Is still plenty of time in the
late northern regions.
France Seasonable weather has prevailed on
the whole, -and Autumn field work has made
good progress. Farmers in general are said to
be satisfied with actual conditions, but want
somewhat warmer weather to push on .the
young plant. One Paris paper makes the state
ment that, to a certain extent. Winters oats
and barley have replaced wheat this season.
Prices are decidedly lower than they were -a
week ago, and although the movement may
have been influenced "by weakness op the in
ternational market, yet Paris has been more
Inclined to lead than follow, and prices aro
'further from an importing level than they
were a week ago. On the other hand, the
French Minister of Finances has publicly
stated that he expects to obtain an additional
2,000,000 pounds from grain -duties next year,
and it Is difficult to see how he wjll obtain
the money unless fully 3,500.900 quarters more
wheat are imported for home consumption.
The London List says that the world's re
serve wheat stocks at harvest In 1808 (the
Lelter .year) ivere probably at the lowest point
In many years, and that, as a matter of .fact,
the world's visible supplr on September 1, In
that year, was the lowest on recent record.
The total on that date was 49,750,000 bushels,
against 110.C25.000 bushels the following year,
128.000,000 bushels September 1, 1900, and 112,
000,000 bushels September 1. 1901. On Septem
Der S. 1SJM, the maximum of 160,000,000 bush
els was reached. .andUn 1893 there were the
second largest September holdings, of 156,000,
000 bcshel5. The September average for Hve
years prior to 1897 was 133,250,000 bushels,
while on September i, 1S97, the world's total
was only 63,666.000 bushels. Which -fell to un
der 50,000,000 bushels the following year, but
Jumped to neany 111,000,000 bushels In 189S.
The List observes that the abundant crop of
189S just came In time to prevent very -high
priecs, for 'there is little doubt that a normal
world's crop, of 2,600,000.000 bushels in 1S9S
would have led to a Very high range of prices. H
The crop of 1595 was about 2,938,500.000 bush
els. "WOOL Quotations in, thclocal -market Are
merely nominal. The Oregon crop is disposed
of except for a few holdings. Jn-4he; 3osti
the product maintains the nsual steadiness'' that
has characterized the market all through the
season. The New Tork Journal of Commerce,
under date or October 26, describes the' Eastern
situation as follows: - "
Euslness in the local wool market continues
-Gttlct, -with na large transactions reported. In
- FINANCIAL NEW
some quarters, however, there Is a greater In
quiry than, for .some time past, and indications
point to some sizeable transactions later on.
Owing to the number of inquiries coming In,
the wool trade as a whole Is in a liopeful mood,
and Arm In Its ideas regarding prices. The
close touch which mills are keeping with the
market is indicated by the large number of
inquiries being received and the sample bales
-now being "tested; taking" this into considera
tion, dealers are satisfied that the outlook for
business during the next few months to come
is decidedly favorable. The difference be
tween the rendition now and that of a .few
weeks ago Js that buyers are fairly well able
to tell aboul how low holders will sell, as
prices are considered to be as low as they will
go, and are expected to hold their own at
present quotations.
The inquiry for Texas wool has been consid
erable during the past week, but little business
has resulted; sample bag shipments have been
made, and are at present undergoing tests, the
result of which with regards to business, how
ever, remains ,to be seen. Prices on fine stock
especially continue firm. The Interest In pulled
wools has suffered somewhat from the fact that
territory wools Tiave been a'allable at prices
lower than pulled. This has resulted in many
mills which formerly bought -polled wools re
fraining from purchasing this stock and others
only buying in a limited way. Now that more"
interest Js oeing shown In pulled stock, holders
are more hopeful of a better demand. On for
eign carpet wools consumerss-are watching the
market very closely and making some offers
which, however, are as a rule below present
quotations. Stocks of this wool are considered
good property, in view of the higher prices
prevailing in the countries of production.
Scotch wools seem to be In considerable favor
with (he carpet trade, and a fair amount of
stock continues to arrive from the other side
on direct Import orders.
HOPS Buyers and sellers are still estranged.
The most common prlce of tho few "high-grade
sale's that have taken place' Is lOJic, although
some jvery fine lots i are reported to have
brought lie. The hop movement Is very leth
argic, and in great contrast with last year's
business, which was about all finished by "the
latter part of November. Probably not one
fourth of this year's Oregon crop has been
sold. CJrowers and buyers appear to have ex
pectations of better things, and each side
draws 'encouragement from the conditions of
supply elsewhere. The Eastern markets are
quiet and seemingly a little easier. The ruling
price is . from 12c to 12&C, althoqgh choice
stock 'is reported to have been sold as high as
lS&c. Tb6 following iff taken !from the New
Tork Journal of Commerce of Qctober 26:
The local market is dull the reason now as
signed being the brewers aro hdtdlng back
purchases until after tho electipm. More ac
tivity is reported up the state. Growers are
freer to offer their goods, and there 4s more
disposition to buy shown by dealers. Advlcos
from Watenllle indicate an easier market,
sales of some good lots having oeen made
there yesterday at 12c, which is now said to
be the top price. A wire from the Pacific
Coast reports that the feeling there also Is
.easier, with more inclination to sell. Aireport
received In the'trade here Is tp the effect that
exporters on the Coast are trying to secure
consignments, offering to make advances of
lg2c under the market.
The apathy of consumers has, a depressing
Influence upon the market, without, however,
causing actual lower prices. Infaet, there
is no room for a decline, as prices now quoted
are barely above a parity with the cost of
new goods. Country reports are of the same
general character as those noted' for sometime
past. In the Watervllle district,' according to
the Times, hops reached the 13Je mark last
week, and this week it has not been quite
equaled, though there has been one sale, that
of C. L. Terry, of 93 bales, at a little better
than 13c Hlchard .Lewis sold the lot mentioned
at 13Jc he having I2Q bales. D. P. Welch got
18S4c for 56 bales. Other sales were made at
12c and 12&c Other late sales were: Michael
Horan, 12 bales, at 12c, and Patrick Clary, D5
bales at 12&c The Otsego Republican reports
a quiet market for the past week In that sec
tion. There were a lew' purchases at 12Hc,
and growers' views were rery firm. The Co
blesklll Index fiays that quite a quantity of
hops has been sold at 13c. and reports the sale
of 1300 boxes, the crop of -Jewel Becker, of
Sharon Hill, at 15c, with 'that Price offered for
more.
BABLET Prices of this cereal have grown
suffer of late, Thlsisaue partly, to the fact
that most of Vhe local crop has been disposed
of, and partly to the higher market in Cali
fornia. Prices locally hover at about ?IC and
at $16 50 for choice brewing grade. Large
shipments of barley nave been made from this
port this season.
DAIRY PRODUCTS Butter 'has developed
considerable weakness, and a decline In values
Is probable. Large quantities are still un
touched In cold storage, Inasmuch as produc
tion keeps tip close to demand. Orders have
slackened up In the past week, and output
has perceptibly increased. Prices at present
are '12I5c for store' grades, and 2526Vic
for fancy creamery. Extra choice brands are
selling for 27Jc Cheese has a steady market,
with a fairly good demand.
POULTRY Chickens have sold readily In the
past week, and demand for turkeys has In
creased. Orders for chickens have been light,
and receipts have not been out of proportion,
so that quotation? have ruled steady. Good
Springs "bring $4 50 per dozen. Ducks and
geese are quiet. Turkeys sell at about Hl2Hc
EGGS Fresh Oregon eggs are scarce, and
command a premium. The market is subsist
ing 'almost wholly on cold-storage and East
ern product. The best price for this, grade Is
22&C. Homo eggs have been selling at 25
27ic, the latter, however, an. extreme figure.
If It were not for Imported product prices
would be very. high. No shipments have been
made to 6an Francisco, although the margin
between the markets there and here is about
12c on fresh product. In view of the stringen
cy In local supply, importations from the East
will -doubtless continue.
POTATOES AND ONIONS-Prices have stif
fened appreciably in the past week. The sell
ing price of potatoes to the trade Is 8395c for
best stock. Farmers are paid from TOS0e for
the same grade. Most growers are staying
away from market In expectation of better
prices. The general opinion Is that the outlook
for prices Is favorable.. Farmers are busy
gathering the crop. The output this year will
bo large, "but outside orders are looked for to
dispose of surplus. The San Francisco mar
ket has, been going upward recently, and the
local strength Is in sympathy.
Onions are also strong and "tending toward
an advance. The top notch for best stock Is
now ?1 35. Several heavy sales have been
made in the country, and receipts have fallen
off somewhat.
PRUNES-Quotatlons are ' mostly nominal,
and range between 333ic. Prices to the
trade are between 45c. Growers have little
disposition to enter the market, and buyers
all seem contents to stay away. Dealers are
holding off for more favorable terms, and are
not stocking up as Is usual at this time of
year. "The general' condition of the market
here and elsewhere lends scant hope of an
1 immediate- improvement.
MEATS A good demand "keeps this market
active. Mutton is firm and gaining strength.
Beef and pork are steady; and veal has good
sale. Receipts are quite liberal, and since tho
Fall season began have been much Improved
In quality. ,
VEGETABLES .AND FRUITS-Fumpkins
and squashes are in fair demand at 75cl per
cental, and aro plentiful.- sjweet potatoes arc
In market In large supply, so that prices are
somewhat-depressed. Cabbage and caullfloweft
ara. plentiful at 75cf 1 per cental, Tomatoc3
also are in full supply. ,
Cranberries sell readily at S3i9c per, pound.
Apple' stocks are large, especially' of second
grade' fruit, plenty of, quinces are' on hand,
also pears. Grapes wre well sold off yes
terday at $131 25. Oregon Concords are near-
Ing the end of their season.

NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
Business "Was Light and ComflHedto
- a Few Stocks.
NEW YpRK, pet. BQ. The volume of deal
ings fell off still further today, and waSj again
congested in . few stocks in which there Was
rather obvious manipulation. The manipula
tion was for the advance, but Its effect was
confined to the leading actlvestocks so far as
any notable results were conccrnedr The gen
eral list was , sluggish, and hesitating, an
fluctuated narrowly throughout. The coalers
were" taken In hand for. an upward movement,
the concentrated buying of the group being
based' on lae reports" of very heavy demand
and a traffic only limited by the car supply,
while prices are firmly maintained at the
maximum of recent years.
The highest-priced members" of the group
gained from 2?a3 points, and those selling
under par rosa about a. point, St. Paul re
sumed its recent show of strength, and was
followed as jsual by the Pacific stocks to the
extent of between 1 and 2 points. There
was another demonstration In tho Vanderbllts
also today, but Its influence did "ijot extend
very effectively outside of that group. Aiual
gamated Copper continued active and some
what Irregular above yesterday's level, yet
unconfirmed rum6rs circulated of the possible
incorporation of Calumet & Hecla. The Na
tional Lead prospects of Improved trade con
ditions and Manhattan ana Sugar also helped
out the show of strength.
. The determination to take a cheerful view
of the gold export movement, which was In
creased today to a total of, $2,83Oy000, was ap
parently based on the Idea that the relief
afforded to the foreign situation will be re
flected back upon tbls market. There is some
assurance felt also that the movement will be
checked after tomorrow's shipments. This
feeling- will be emphasized if the Bank of
England maintains its. discount rate unchanged
tomorrow, as now. seems possible. Judging
from the freedom with which the bank dis
counted today at the current -rato. The fa

regarding money market conditions and the
release of November disbursements, Including
Government interest, Is looked to tide over
next week. Some currency Is returning from

factors December sold up to TOifcc, later, wnen
dullness was more pronounced, It sagged back

FALL STATE CAMPAIGNS.
Qniet Elections Expected in Seven
States to Hold Them.
Chicago Tribune.
Seven states are to hold elections in
November namely: Massachusetts, New
Jersey, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Mary
land, Ohio and Iowa. Of these seven
states the Democrats are absolutely cer
tain of cxrrylns- Virginia. There is a pos
sibility they may secure Maryland. The
situation In Pennsylvania is 50 mixed, by
Republican revolts no intelligent forecast
can be made. The remaining four may
be safely counted as Republican.
In Massachusetts Governor Crane will
be re-elected and probably by an in
creased majority. The Democrats will
Teject Gamaliel Bradford's voluntary offer
to .pay all the expenses and make all the
speeches in consideration of the nomi
nation, and give It to Mr. Qulncy, who
will have . the honor of being defeated
by Crane. New Jersey shows no inten
tion of making a change, and Franklin
Murphy, the varnlsh-maker, one of the
most popular Republicans in "the state,
will be the next Governor upon a, plat
form based on the late President's last
speech, with an additional plank calling
for the suppression of anarchistic teach
ings. In Pennsylvania the situation is
anomalous. Many of the leading Re
publicans in the state have abandoned
their party to fight the machine, and a
fusion has been made with them by the
Democrats. The Republican state conven
tion has indorsed the machine ticket,
but notwithstanding the overwhelming
Republican majority. It -Is within the
bounds of possibility that the fusion ticket
may win-, -as happened once before when
Robert E. Pattlson, Democrat, was
elected. Two amendments to the -constitution
will also be voted, upon, and prob
ably, will be carried, one authorizing the
use of voting machines and the other
providing a proper registration law for
the cities. In Virginia, tho Republicans
aro showing unusual activity, but there
can be no doubt as to the success of the
Democrats. In Maryland the outcome Is
somewhat doubtful, though the Republi
cans are confident they will succeed and
that the Legislature to be elected will
choose a 'Republican successor to "Welling
ton, and thus defeat Gorman. Ohio and
Iowa will roll "up large Republican ma
jorities as usual.
The Fall elections of 1001 will not make
any important change in the political
situation such as happened in, 1881 after
the death of Garfield. There are no fac
tions In the Republican party now, as
there were then. The elections will be
quiet affairs and quietest on the Demo
cratic side because there is less life there
than usual. As a matter of fact, the only
elcctlon which promises to be a lively one
is tho municipal election in New York.
Seth Low's assault upon Tammany win
"be more interesting than all the state
