COMMERCIAL AND
General trade has Blackened a little during
the jast few days on account of the approach
of the time generally known as "between sea
sons." Receipts of produce were quite heavy
yesterday, but the market Feemed to stand up
well under them, and. except In a few cas.es,
there was but lhtle weakness shown. Potatoes
and onions were easier, not so much on account
of the liberal receipts as for fear of a break
In San Francisco, which continues to be about
tlie only market which Portland can reach at
present. Colorado has a big crop of both po
tatoes and onions, and she Is now placing
them In territory formerly supplied by Port
land at rates slightly lower than those that can
be quoted by Portland shippers. The hop mar
ket continues very firm, but the stock still
remaining unsold has been worked down to a
figure vhert It Is difficult to make reliable
quotations, as prices are governed almost whol
ly by the needs of the buyer. Eggs have held
up remarkably well, considering the weather
conditions, and there is much firmness In poul
try. Butter is steady, with increasing re
ceipts. Veal Is weaker, and pork is firm.
Oats and barley are higher in sympathy with
a firm wheat market and unfavorable weather
conditions In California. Groceries show no
change, the expected trouble in sugar and
coffee, apparently, being Indefinitely postponed,
although wholesalers assert that they arc sell
ing sugar without a profit.
WHEAT Wheat freights struck 25s In Port
land Tuesday, but there has been no heavy
silling movement following this remarkable
reduction. This is In a measure due to the fact
that the competition of the mills and a. few
exporters has been so keen for tho past few
weeks that a considerable portion of the buy
ing that has been done has been on the basis
of 25s freights, long- before they reached that
figure. With so little wheat selling, accurate
quotations nrc very dlfllcult to secure. Most
of the exorters are quoting around C5c and
C5V4c for Walla Walla, but fiOi Is reiorted
paid In the Interior, and c'en higher prices
are reported bid at some points where com
petition Is brisk. The foreign market has been
Inclined to drag this week, and the East Is
stationary, ready to waver either way. ac
cording to the bullish or bearish cast of the
news which comes to hand each day. The San
Francisco market has been on the up grade
for several da., the poor crop prospects and
weaker freights combining to Infuse more
strength Into that emotional market than it
has shown for a long time. Parley has also
been showing remarkable strength In San
rrancisco.
The crop situation in the Pacific Northwest
Is as yet not much of a factor in the market.
There are the usual rciorts of serious damage
by cold weather, but in view of the experience
of past years, all of these reports are received
with due allowance for improvement later In
the season.
The decline In freights is by far the most Im
jwrtant factor In the local wheat market, and
while, a considerable portion of the effect ot
tho present low rates had been discounted, the
actual presence of a 25s rate has had .1
strengthening effect on the wheat market.
The figures at which ships can now le char
tered are undoubttdly down close to the point
whero there is no money in the ship-owning
business, but the tonnage situation Is so weak
that It Is by no means certain that tho bottom
has been reached, and some operators are pre
dicting a 20s rate before tho present conges
tion In shlppipg Is relieved. The Cincinnati
Price Current. In reviewing its crop corns-t-pondencc
for the week ending last Saturday,
has the following:
With snow covering general over the Winter
wheat, no materi.il change can be noted in the
crop situation. Rej.orts from tho Ohio River
Valley still make note of the poor appearance
of the crop before the snow covering, and In
the southern part of Illinois a covering of Ice
Instead of snow Is believed by some to be in
jurious to the crop. In a few localities in
Kansas It Is thought that the soft variety of
wheat has not fared very well. However, with
these tint v. barks in view, the general condition
may still be regarded as fair to good, with th
qualification heretofore mentioned, that the
tender condition of the plant makes It more
than ordinarily susceptible to hard weather
conditions In the future. In Ohio and Indiana
the wheat Is still covered with snow, but late
corre-pondence continues to note the poor ap
pearance of the plant before the covering,
especially in the southern counties.
In Illinois the growing wheat is under a
cover of snow nnd ice; there is some appre
hension In the south that the Ice covering has
done harm. The condition is more favorable
In the northern part of the state. In Iowa
Winter crops are regnrded as In good condition,
now covered with snow. Corn movement is
moderate, but generally feeders are the bjst
bidders. In Missouri the snow covering the
wheat Is considered good for It. Not much
grain is marketed, and stocks of wheat back
ar not regardtd as large, and oats and corn
are scarce. In Kansas the wheat Is generally
regarded In favorable condition, although there
Is a little 'apprehension of Injury to the soft
variety; snow covering still general.
The Liverpool Corn Trade News, under date
of February 4. has tho following regarding the
crop outlook In some of the principal foreign
countries:
Russia Severe frot and some snow have been
reported from the center of Russia, but in the
south the weather has continued mild. Our
Odessa correspondent says that the Winter so
far has been almost unseasonable, but the sea
ton is now so far advanced that the danger of
a. long spell of frost Is greatly diminished, con
sequently the crop" outlook must be considered
fair, but It lr certain that any late severe
frost would give rise to Immediate complaints.
The export movement for wheat Is liberal, and
for maize very large.
Inlda The drouth continues 'to prevail, and
the latest report from the Viceroy mentioned
somewhat worse crop conditions. Prices, how
over, still keep down generally, and this Is
about the mott satisfactory feature of the
situation.
France The weather has turned more season
able and heavy; general falls of snow have
now been reported. Business has continued
dull on the whole, for millers still complain
very much of the bad sale for their products.
Wc notice that a steamer of California wheat
has just been ordered to Havre from St. Vin
cent. We can hardly suppose that this gialn
Is for home consumption, owing to disparity
between the prices of native and foreign wheat,
when the latter Is burdened by the heavy Im
port duty, and it therefore follows that the
wheat Is being taken in for the temporary ad
mission trade, because In the future It will no
longer be rosslble to export flour from the
northern against wheat Imports at Marseilles.
Germany Alo In this country there has been
a change from wet. mild weather to snow and
frost, the change being most welcome for the
crops. Hamburg reports, however, that the
market has been quite Arm. with plenty of
buying offers.
Argentina Rather more wheat was reported
shipped last week, but the movement generally
Is very slack, and reports concerning the har
vest in the north certainly do not Improve. A
private letter received at I,iveriool yesterday
from a Santa F miller says that they have to
pay far more for milling wheat than the price
obtained for export, so that of course nothing
can bo sent from there to Europe. As the
season advances and it becomes increasingly
certain that the crop in Santa Fe is Indeed a
very poor one, more Interest is show as to
tho Importance of the different provinces as
wheat-growfrs. and as bearing on the rolnt.
we give below the latest oltlclal area returns:
Province Acres. 1001-2. Acres. 1900-1.
Santc Fe 3.417.000 3.G33.O0O
Buenos Ayres 2.403.000 2.203.000
Cordoba 1,440.000 1.540.000
Entre Rlos ., 61)5.000 0IM.O0O
Other provinces ISVxK) 177,000
Total 8.140,000 S.343,000
It will be seen that the Santa Fe is still the
most Important province considered merely as
to the breadth of land under the chief cereal,
but Its relative Importance now Is not so
great as It was a year or two ago. when half
the wheat area of the country was situated
In the Santa Te. With regard to yield, the
northern province has to take second place.
Indeed, last year It made a very poor show!
with only Sfe bushels per acre, against 14V
bushels obtained In ISuenos Ayres. but still,
owing to its large area, it produced fully one
third of the total, or 3,2."i0.000 quarters, or a
total out-turn of fl.000.000 quarters. Latest
private estimates of the exportable surplus of
wheat give the quantity as not over 3,000.0u0
quarters, against 4,500,000 quarters last year.
f.200,000 quarters in 1900. S.200.000 In 1S09 and
2.200.000 in 1S97.
OATS AND BARLEY Oats are not coming
out very freely at prices now offered by local
dealers, and in order to get much of a stock,
it vrould be necessary to advance prices quite
materially. In the last few days some strength
has been Imparted to the market by the sen-
t
FINANCIAL NEWS
Rational advance in barley In San Francisco.
For a tlms after the awarding of the last
Government contract in San Francisco that
market was Inclined to weakness on oats, but
It Is now very firm, with an advancing ten
dency. Barley In the local market Is following
the bulge In San Francisco to a considerable
extent, the price here being about the same as
the San Francisco price, plus the freight, as
Portlaiyl Is largely dependent on that market
for stocks, now that the surplus has been
nearly all shipped from the Pacific Northwest,
Feed barley Is now quoted at $20 and ?20 50
per ton. and brewing nominally $1 more.
HOPS The stock of hops still held on the
Pacific Coast has worked down to but little,
over 5000 bales. OY this amount. 2000 bales
are held In Orcgcn, 5C0 bales In Washington
and 27S0 bales in California. There Is a good,
strong undertone to the market, as the bulk
of these small remaining stocks are In firm
hands, who will not sell except at fancy fig
ures. The ruling quotations In this market are
lSJjlSsc. J)Ut little or nothing can be bought
at these figures, and It would require at least
a cent or two above these prices to move very
much of the stock still unsold. The situation In
the East continues quite firm, and the New
York Journal of Commerce, under date of
February 15, says:
The tone of this market, responding to re
ports from primary sources, and under an In
creasing demand from brewers, is still harden
ing. Several sales have been made by dealers
to consumers at 18c, and that Is a general
quotation for choice. Other grades arc propor
tionately higher. Private advices from up the
state report that some 300 bales have changed
hands between growers and dealers within the
past few days at lSgiOc In its last Issue tho
Watcrvllle Times says:
"Although It is stormy, unpleasant weather,
that probably does not explain why no business
is doing. The few holders of hops In this lo
cality are easily reached by the dealers, and
were transactions desired by both parties sales
could easily be made, but the holders are very
firm, and refuse offers of 10c. and buyers have
so far hesitated about offering more. At pres
ent the situation seems to Ik.- in the holders
favor, but how long this Mill last no man
knowcth. Developments are awaited with In
terest." During January there were exported 2050
bales from outports, 1555 bales going from
Newport News and 504 bales from Philadelphia.
POTATOES AND ONIONS The jKJtato spec
ulators are awaiting with fear and trembling
the effect which the largo consignment which
went south on the lost steamer will have on
the Fan Francisco market. They are not only
"skeered" of v. hat may happen to that lot.
but are afraid that another heavy consignment
to follow may further demoralize matters.
Some of them.rcfused to pay over $1j1 10 yes
terday .and $ I 25 was an outside quotation for
best Burbanks. Stocks still on- hand In the
country aro large, and the outlook for high
prices is hardly as bright as It was a short
time ago. Onions are sharing In the weakness
in potatoes to a certain extent, but are not
causing so many cases of "cold feet" as hnvo
been caused by potatoes, and the general quo
tation yesterday was around $1 75 and $1 5,
with fancy stock still commanding $2 and bet
ter. BUTTER Receipts of butter have been in
creasing this week, but there Is still consider
able firmness in prices. As high as :50c has
been sr-cured in a small way fur some select
brands, but the bulk of the sales for fancy
creamery are still made at 27c. and most of
the dealers will be satisfied to hold the market
up to this figure for awhile yet. Store butter
Is also more plentiful, and prices arc weaker.
It requires something fancy to bring 15c. and
much of the stock that Is offering sells at
13c and 14c per pound.
EGGS The egg market, which has withstood
the breath of Spring In much better shape than
was expected, broke yesterday, and before tho
close of business fresh stock sold over a pretty
wide range of prices. Some dealers started off
business In the morning at 25c Others wre
satisfied to get 24c, and by noon sales were
made at 22bc, 23c and 23l-c. Receipts were
quite heavy yesterday, and nothing but a pret
ty good demand from outside joints prevented
a break to 20c. Pu'get Sound cities, which
usually 'buy heavily in the East at this season
of the year, were caught short on account of
expecting to buy cheaper from Portland, and
the demand from that quarter alone In the
past few days has been sufficient to hold prices
up to pretty full figures.
POl'LTUY Good chickens have been selling
readily at full prices this week, with no accu
mulation of stocks. Best old hens have sold
around $5Ji5 SO. and for choice stock ?C Is not
infrequently received. Springs are steady nt
from ?12 under this figure, and dressed at
104712c jer pound, according to quality. Cce
and clucks are both In very poor demand, the
former being exceptionally hard to mo-e except
at sacrifice prices. Some very good coops of
geese were sold yesterday at fG per dozen, and
they were difficult to move even at that figure.
Ducks are In mfh the same condition, the de
mands of tho Chinese for the New Year's fes
tivities being satisfied, and there being but
little call from other quarters. Turkeys soil
in a limited way at 14c and 15c dressed, with
some birds occasionally bringing a fraction
more. Live arc nominal at 12&c and 13c per
pound.

Sliort Selling In IVIicat nt Clilcncjo
Sends Prices Duwii a Trifle.
CHICAGO. Feb. 10. Early trade In wheat
was somewhat nervous, with the tendency to
ward lower prices. Cables were lower, flour
news was weak, and the weather for Winter
wheat was good. This lndueed some short sell
ing and sent prices down a trlfl. Northwestern
receipts were libers!, and predictions from that
country Indicated a better shipping movement.
The seaboard was bidding, but at prices lc
lower. May o;ened H0vc lower, at 7SK'?'7Sc.
and remained at about that price for over an
hour. Weakness in coarse grains helped to
depress wheat, and May eventually touch-d
77ie. Most of the loss was regained on the
ensuing covering movement, nnd May closed
steady. He down, at 7SV,fj7SVc.
torn was depressed at the opening by commission-house
selling. One large professional
bought In to some extent and buoyed the mar
ket for a time, but when he threw ver the
crowd went short, and May slid off to C0ic
May closed steady, a shad lower, at 01lie

NEW YOHIC STOCK MARKET.
Principal Activity Concentrated in
the Finnl Hour.
NEW YORK. Feb. 10. The principal activ
ity In today's stock market was concentrated
In the final hour, when Union Pacific and St.
Paul, after being quiescent all day, were sud
denly pressed up about a point over last night.
At tho same time there was an urgent demand
for Tennessee Coal, the reason for which wus
not explained, but which carried the price 3'
over last night. These movements, coming on
top of desultory advances In a number of
stocks not usually prominent. Induced a hard
ening tendency all around, and disposed tlin
shorts to cover. The earlier strong points
meantime suffered from realizing, so that the
closing was Irregular but active. The specu
lative activity was confined to the high-priced
Industrials and the stocks of some railroad sys
tems up to that time. The movement In Su
gar and Amalgamated Copper was very erratic,
and after traversing a wide range they closed
the day with net gains of only a fraction. The
dealings In the United States Steel stocks were
very large, and buying by brokers usually, used
by syndicate Interests was on a large scale,
but the speculative public refrained from fol
lowing this Initiative, which was supposed to
be based upon the tentative proposition to con
vert the preferred stock Into a 5 per cent bond.
The Chicago. Indianapolis & Louisville stocks
and the Evansvllle & Terre Hnute stocks made
sensational advances on the belief that they
are to be included In a coming consolidation.
The United States Rubber stocks were moved
upward on the basis of the wet weather.' which
Increased the demand for the company's goods.
There were wild movements In other stocks,
showing new strength In places, and others
dropping back sharply after recent unexplained
advances. The general market was Inclined to
be reactionary during the morning, the Read
ings especially showing the effect of profit
taking. The question of gold exports tomorrow
was an open one nil day, and the decision not
to send gold was an Influence In the late
rally.
Rates for money arc unchanged, but the un
dertone Is firm. With the uncertainties of tho
Northern Securities case and tho coming du
bious period regarding the next wheat crop,
speculators are disposed to go cautiously.
The movement of prices for bonds continues
Irregular, owing to occasional profit-taking.
The general tendency, however, was firm. To
tal sales, par value, $3,005,000. United States
refunding 2s. registered, advanced per cent
on the last call.
