ir THE MORNING- OREGONIAN,- THURSDAY, MARCH 27, 1902. 13 COMMERCIAL AND FINANG1AL NEWS Nothing new developed In the market situa tion yesterday and business has again begun to assume the end-of-the-montn appearance of quietude. The weather has been more favor able for farm work during the past lew days, and this has kept fanners vaway from the cities and towns, and contributed to a tempor ary dullness. "Wheat Is very quiet, both as to price and In the volume of the movement, nd tho total sales for the past fortnight would hardly make a shipload. Potatoes are still coming In quite liberally, tho supply seeming almost inexhaustible, but In spite of the Im mense quantities that are being ehlpped, the price Is holding up much better than In former seasons. Onions are also selling In large quantities and the price of good stock holds up around ?2 per cental. The butter market, after a. long period of strength. Is at last showing signs of weakening, and best grades of creamery arc more plentiful than at any time this season. No cut has yet been made in prices, but a reduction Is almost certain before tho end of the week. Eggs aro steady to firm, and chickens a little easier. Veal and pork, under the-strs of heavy receipts, are not doing so well. The wool market is showing some signs of activity and there Is considerable new crop contracting in hops. The grocery market Is quiet, with no further developments in the sugar troubles, but an uneasy feeling In some circles that the bottom has not jet been reached. WHEAT Sales of wheat are few and far be tween, and with such a dragging market it Is a difficult matter to secure accurate quota tions. Yesterday Walla "Walla was generally quoted at 64 and 64 cents, but every dealer making tho quotation expressed some doubt about the chances of buying at that figure. There is not enough demand to Induce buy ers to force the price up to fancy figures, and sellers will not let go at export values now quoted. Buyers and sellers are farther apart than they generally get, even toward tho fag end of the season, when the wheat Is so nearly sold out. Interest in the wheat situation is now shifting from the old crop to that which Is now coming along, and tho outlook 1c, on the whole, quite favorable for another big crop. The acreage is larger than ever be fore, and in most localities where the wheat was Winter-killed the reseeded lands are show ing a very healthy growlh, which, with favor able weather conditions, will turn off nearly as well as the average Winter wheat crop. Freights continue to drag and charters aro rare. With such, a small amount of wheat to be provided for and no certainty that this will be shipped, there Is no Incentive for chartering ships. There are two disengaged vessels on spot, and If they could be secured cheap enough, would probably bo taken up, but the rate would need to be low in order to enable exporters to buy wheat under present circumstances. The Eastern market showed some Improvement yesterday, but has a long hard climb before it gets to the point from which It began its recent break. Sentiment in the East is more Inclined to bullishness than It has been for a long time, this feel ing being reflected somewhat in the following Chicago advices received yesterday by Bolton de Ruyter & Co.: Wheat has had a 12c break In the past few weeks, and has rallied about VAo from bottom. The decline has put markets trlbu- .!? t At,ant,c seaboard on an export basis, although demand, except on weak spots. Is not sharp. The whole Winter-wheat belt has had most fpvorable weather, with general rains, and on this weakness selling has come. The wheat has generally changed hands and liqui dation has been severe. At the moment the situation seems a fairly steady one. While European prospects are favorable, it Is as sumed that European requirements will, until a new crop, be fully equal to what they have teen for months past. Surpluses on Pacific coast and in other exporting countries have been pretty well exhausted. The inference is that if wheat Is wanted before another harvest the wants must mainly be supplied from markets tributary to the Atlantic seaboard In this country. This visible la a fair average, and stocks and reserves in warehouses are small The movement from first hands was very light. In tho last day or two speculative operations have proceeded on the assumption that prospects of the growing wheat crop were at leact nominal on a greatly Increased acre age. Recent advices from Southwest, notably Kansas and Oklahoma, however, raise the apprehension that some manifestation of this proposed favorable situation must bo made. Some of the advices from that quarter are ex tremely bad. The next few days ought to re veal more clearly what the true conditions are If the present tendency for tho worst Is main tained, higher prices are likely. In any event the market having had a severe break, the prices being pretty flatly, on an export basin declines from this point are likely to be slow. HOPS-After a slight lull in new-crop hop contracting, a fresh start has apparently been made, and within the past few days quite a number of the contracts have been made on the basis of 12 cents, which Is the best price reported this season. Some dealers aro Inclined to hold off. and express fear that the element of chance Is too great at such rates, but the fact remains that there has been an unusually large amount of new-crop contracting done. There Is nothing doing In the local market In old crop. The situation in New York is thus reviewed by the Journal of Commerce, under date of March 20: Contrary to the expectations of many of the trade, there has been a decided Improve ment in the demand from brewers In the local market. It was learned that within the past few days they have purchased several hundred f k . Vl ?opF' come Put"ns the amount at about 00 bales, and the prices paid were on the basis of 18c for choice. At the close or the range of prices quoted for choice state was 17HlSc. an advance of uc per pound. Pacifies, however, were reported not S fl,,2,.a,!.ftatcs &na were 1uoted on the basis of li18c for choice. Reflecting the Im proved demand from brewers, dealers have been better buyers of state hops, and an additional 6ale was reported made In Northern New York of 80 bales prime at 16c net to the grower also, 150 bales old olds, at 4c. The Watervllle Times, of March 18. says of the Watervllle hop market: "Since the sale of the 82-bale lot of T. D. King, last week, about 17c. Samuel Maine, of Brookfleld. has sold 27 bales. Tho price paid for the last lot was probably 17c, though the parties concerned refused to say Just what It was). FRUIT The season has drifted around to a stage where the keeping qualities of apples are beginning to be appreciated, and fancy Hood River and Southern Oregon apple are in demand at $2 per box. There is still a con siderable quantity of medium to low grade fruit on the market that sells down as low as $1 per box, but it is so late In thr season that most anything that looks like an 'apple will sell for fl per box. Oranges and lemons are firm and higher. Receipts havo been pretty heavy, and stocks are so large here that the firmness which has been so pronounced in California is not felt to its fullest extent in this market. Bananas are now coming along with aomo seasonable' regularity, and tho market seems to absorb the two three cars per week which are received, without difficulty. POTATOES-The last steamer sailing from San Francisco took out 10,300 sacks of potatoes and left on the dock over 6000 sacks, which will be crowded in with the regular install ment which is scheduled for the steamer sail ing tomorrow. These consignments, together with a few thousand sacks going out of Coos Bay by every steamer, have tested the strength of Jhe San Francisco market pretty close to the limit, but there has been no recent break, and yesterday $1 25 and ?1 30 was paid in this city for best Burbanks. A considerable quantity of the offerings now coming to hand have been touched by the frost sufficiently to discolor them but not to changp their out ward appearance. The stock, of course, will not bring- best figures, and is the cause of considerable wrangling by sellers who ex pect to get tho top quotations for their offer ings. Sweet potatoes are firm and best stock cells at f2 50 and $2 75 per cental. Onions are steady, but prices show no Improvement, Some of the fancy selects with a reputation 6ell abqve 2, but the average run of offerings sells around SI 75 per cental. BUTTER Considerable of the strength that was so pronounced in the butter market re cently has oozed out within the past weelj, and (t is almost a certainty that prices will be cut within a few days. The California market has weakened to such an extent that It can now prevent high prices In the North, and in order to prevent a blockade and general demoralisation of prices, dealers will at once begin lowering prices in accordance with the demands of the season. While receipts of fancy will sell up to 10c and 17c per pound, so much of the store butter which comes in is unfit for much of anything but skid greaso that the top figure is hardly a reliable quota tion. EGGS The egg market yesterday showed but little change from that of the day previous. A few dealers were demanding and receiving 15 cents for single-case lots, but at the same time there were plenty of eggs obtainable at 14 and 14 He, and -some dealers held very heavy stocks, for which they were unable to secure more than He per dozen. Buyers and sellers alike have a peculiar attitude regarding the prices of certain commodities, and an egg quotation that would be satisfactory to any or all parties concerned would be a curiosity. POULTRY Chickens are not doing as well as they were last week, but are still in very good demand, and $6 Is considered a fair price for best coops of old hens, with mixed and Springs selling down as low as .$3 50 and $4, very ordinary stock bringing the lowest figure. A few coops of "peepers." and some a little older than peepers, have been re ceived, and as usual with the first of the season, they have brought fancy prices, some of them selling up to $6 per dozen, or not far from their weight In silver. ' Ducks and geese are neglected and quotations are, to a considerable extent, nominal. There will be but little demand for turkeys from now on, and they are quiet at quotations.

Tradlngr Wasi Verr DhII and All of a Professional Nature. NEW YORK. March 26. Today's stock market was a very dull and professional af fair. Colorado Fuel and Amalgamtcd Cop per absorbed between them & large propor tion of the day's dealings from the opening to the close. The first-named ranged up to 2 over last night, and the Copper stock to H4. Colorado Fuel lost the greater part of the gain on realizing during the latter part of the day, but Amalgamated retained all but a small fraction. Its subsldary stock was also firm at or about last night's price, notwith standing the Indefinite postponement -from yes terday of the Anaconda dividend meeting. The demand was attributed to a short Interest, which sought to take advantage, of discourag ing news to cover their short contracts. The stock was not offered as freely as the bears had anticipated. Thcro were no new de velopments in Colorado Fuel, and the large transactions in the stock were by the same brokers as those recently active In it. The preferred made an 'opening Jump of 6 points, relapsed 7 and rallied 4. Tennessee Coal was firm In sympathy, but tho other active stocks were neglected and heavy. American Tele phone rose 4 and North American rallied 3 over last night. Minneapolis. St. Paul and Sault Ste. Marie was At one time up 4 points. There was some firmness in one -or two of the prominent railroad stocks, but the tendency of the general list was lower. The factors influencing the market were practically the same a$ those of yesterday. The threat of a strike by the anthracite min ers was a wide-spread influence. The coalers themselves, as a rule, were only slightly af fected by the labor situation, but Lackawanna made a violent break of 4fc. The coming adjournment of the exchange from Thursday to Monday had the usual effect of causing a closing up of contracts. There is some fear that the demand in tho loan market to carry over stocks from Thursday until Monday will cause a flurry in call loan rates tomorrow. There is a possibility also that a poor bank statement will be published in the interim. The possible breaking off of ngotlations for pcaco in South Africa before trading Is re sumed was taken account of, as well as tho apparent approach of the end of tho ca reer of Cecil Rhodes, which waa In fadt re ported on the exchange lato in the day. The market closed easy. There was a yielding tendency to tho prices of bonds, in sympathy with stocks. Total sales, par t-alue. $2,500,000. United States bonds were all unchanged on the last call.

March 26. Corn strength easily ruled all grains today, and the corn pit ltd In activity. At the start, cables were higher, as oompared to lower prices here yesterday. There was some early selling oa wheat in fluence, but sooa there started a bull move ment in July corn that caused a sharp upturn In aft corn options. Some Importance was attached to a bull campaign to be worked In July corn. Other bull factors were the Im proved cash corn situation, and the later up turn in wheat. May closed lc higher, at 50 e59c Aside from the corn Influence, wheat had good reasons of its own to advance prices. Opening conditions,, such as cables. and small receipts, worked for fair early advances, but the "crop-killer" once .more, became an active factor. Word waa received,, from the presi dent of the Kansas & Oklahoma Gralndealers' Association, stating that Kansas would harvest only 60 per cent and Oklahoma only 40 per cent of a crop. At the advance, there was liberal offering, but some of the big men bought, corn exerted its influence and shorts covered, sending prices up." Profit taking, toward the close, caused a re action. May started M to c higher, at 720 72c eased to 72c, recovered to 7S73c and closed firm, May e higher, at 7Zc There was only a moderate trade in oats, but the tono ruled firm with other grains.

The final steps In the formation of the National Millers Federation, representing a total capital of 400,000,000 and an annual flour output of 100.000,000" barrels, were taken at a meeting held hero today. The federation Is the national organization of the state associations, and in addition It will include the .National Millera' Association and the National "Winter Wheat Millers' Associa tion.

A board of direc tors, which Includes the officers, was also elected. The first annual meeting will bo held In Chicago, Juno 11, 1902. Presldant Eckhart declared the federa tion was not a combination for tho con trol of prices, but for the purpose of furthering mutual interests and correct ing abuses, which he said had grown up during the past 20 years. Resolutions were adopted indorsing the legislative move ments to give the Interstate commerce commission authority to enforce Its rul ings and to correct tho action of ocean steamship companies nnd railroads In the alleged discrimination In freight rates against flour In favor of wheat. The Nel son amendment to the Hartcr rtct. In def erence to the London Inndlng clause to prevent the steamship companies from dis criminating against American flour, was indorsed. Mr. Eckhart explained that American flour had to pay an unjustly high dockage rate at the London wharves.
