COMMERCIAL AND
"With wheat stocks pretty -well exhausted,
hops all out of first hands, and wool not yet
moving. It would not b unreasonable to expect
a light volume of trade at the present time,
but despite these drawbacks, business continues
to show substantial Increases. There are more
potatoes, onions, buttr, eggs, veal, pork, poul
try, etc, coming out of tho country than ever
before, and the greater part qf these products
arts bringing good figures, potatoes being about
double the prices at which the crop moved" out
In the Spring a few years ago. "Yhat little
wheat there Is offering Is Belling at very good
pricos, the Portland market showing less of a
decline than any other market In the country.
Oats aro a shade weaker on account of the
lack of demand. "Wool has not yet commenced
to move, but Its presence as a factor In trade
Is already felt. New-crop contracting for hops
Is still progressing, and it Is believed that a
larger portion of the coming crop has been
engaged than ever before. The provision mar
kets are a little tinner, and veal and pork are
weaker.
Groceries show no change. Retailers have
bought heavily of sugar at the low prices, and
trade In this staple is very light at present.
In fruit, there are plenty of choice apples in
the market, and the strength reported In
oranges and lemons in the California market
has not affected Portland prices. A carload of
bananas arrived yesterday, the second for the
week, and as some of the fruit has reached
here a little too ripe for good keeping, the
hawkers have disposed of a considerable por
tion of it.
WHEAT-Tho wheat market In this city Is at
a decidedly uninteresting stage, and business is
of very small proportions. The export value of
the cereal, based on current freight rates. Is
about G3ff63&c, and It is Impossible to dislodge
much wheat with bids of G4aC3c. although an
occasional small sale Is made at these figures.
The comparatively small amount of wheat re
maining unsold is in strong hands, and in the
absence of any pressing tonnage engagements,
shipowners can bo about as Independent as the
wheat holders, and buy only when they can
do so on a reasonable basis or for special orders
which sometimes warrant higher figures than
could otherwise be paid. Freights remain in
active at about 25s, with but small prospect for
an Improvement. Tonnage Is gradually ap
pearing at points comparatively close at hand,
and thero Is no disposition on the part of ex
porters to take up ships right here on spot un
less they can secure them at satisfactory rates.
The flour trade with the Orient has fallen
away quite materially, and on every hand are
signs of a weak freight market.
Some owners having tonnage near by have
withdrawn their ships from the market, ex
pecting to Becure better rates later on. A num
ber of new-crop charters have been reported
during the past week, and pretty full figures
have been paid for some of tho ships, the
rates paid being so high that British ship
owners ha-e got the Impression that they are
warranted in holding off for still better figures
later in the season. As a result, the only ves
sels being chartered are those flying the Ger
man or French flag. Unless some unexpected
business crops up In other parts of the world,
a larger portion of the 1002 wheat crop will
move out in ships chartered at less than 25s
than In higher-priced vessels. Reports from
ast of the mountains are not so favorable this
week, and in some localities the "Winter-killed
fields are being resown in barley. "Weather
conditions are fairly favorable, but it Is almost
a certainty that the crop of 1002 will be
smaller than that of IDOL Of the wheat situa
tion In the East and Middle "West, the Cincin
nati Price Current, In Its weekly review for
the week ending last Saturday, has the follow
ing: The past week has been very favorable to the
growing wheat crop. The temperature has been
mild, and showers, generally light, were fre
quent and fairly well distributed. The condi
tion of tho crop as .a whole may still be regard
ed as fairly good. In the Ohio River Valley
many reports received the .past week indicate
that Springlike weather is bringing the plant
o-t better than expected, while a few reports
express apprehension that the sudden freeze of
last week did some damage. In Missouri, Ne
braska and Iowa he condition of the wheat is
good; in Kansas and the Southwest the weather
conditions have been more favbrable, but con
siderable damage has already been done by the
drouth. Over a wide area of the wheat region
there is continued reference to the fact that
while recent rains have afforded moisture to
the surface soil, the subsoil is still unusually
dry, suggesting that the plant will be to that
extent especially susceptible to damage by fu
ture dry weather, should It prevail.
Oats are going into the ground rapidly, and
the crop seems to be starting off auspiciously
The ground generally Is in good condition for
both sowing and plowing. There has been
more disposition to dispose of holdings of wheat
In the country during the week, but reports
generally Indicate a light movement of corn
and oats in the Interior, although receipts at
primary points seem to be Increasing, with
prices easier.
The Liverpool Corn Trade News, under date
of March 18, has the following on the situation
abroad:
Russia A telegram received by us last Sat
urday reported 25 degrees Fahrenheit of frost
in the Azoff district, with the sea frozen over
as far as could be seen. This cold weather
snay delay the re-openlng of navigation, and
cannot bo considered favorable for the crops,
although 25 degrees of frost Is not a killing
matter. Latest mall advices have continued
i,rert TO,,d temPenitures, with abundant
xail of rain and Bnow In the various districts.
Our Odessa correspondent says that no com
plaints are heard abo"ut the "Winter crop, and
It Is generally understood that, with normal
weather from now on. there will be every
chance of a good crop. Shipments last week
were moderate, and we can hardly expect any
substantial increase until the Azoff ports are
shipping, and fresh supplies coming down on
the Interior waterways.
Roumanla "We hear from Brallla thatySlI
Tears of crop damasre bv frost . f
end, and crop conditions are excellent In all
umbels OI me country. The shipping move
ment is fair, there is a little more activity at
up-river ports, but as yet the list of loading
steamers Is a short one.
Bulgaria Tho Autumn seedlngs have win
tered In good condition, and Spring plowing
and seeding are being pushed forward rapidly.
Austria-Hungary Tho weather of the past
week has been fine and bright, with short night
frosts. The Winter crops have developed well,
and Spring seeding has commenced generally.
Argentina Plentiful rains have now fallen,
but we have no information as to" how much
of the maize crop has been saved. Wheat ship
ments last week were smaller, but port stocks
increased. Offerings of La Plata wheat have
been rather more In evidence, and fair quanti
ties have been sold In Antwerp.
India There Is no change to note in the sit
uation. Shipments last week were nil. and
merchants here say they expect only small
quantities to come forward in the .season which
commences April 1.
France Crop reports continue to be quite fa
vorable, recent weather having been all that
growers could desire as well for the "Winter
crops as for the Spring seedlngs. Farmers
have offered less freely lately, being busy on
the land, and this has tended to keep the mar
kets firmer.
"WOOL The Eastern wool market Is not quite
so firm as It was a short time ago, and for
that reason local buyers are not so hopeful
about the opening prices for the coming clip.
The mohair men are getting together forming
pools, but as yet have made no sales, and are
not liable to do so at the prices asked. The
wool clip promises to be a record-breaker, and
from present Indications will open at about
B12c for Eastern Oregon and 13c for Valley.
The quality of the Eastern Oregon wool is said
to be much better than the average, and it
will In some localities sell pretty well up to a
Valley basis. The situation In the East Is thus
reviewed by the New York Journal of Com
merce, under date of March 29:
Though there has been a slight Increase In
the number of Inquiries, which has given the
market an appearance of more activity, in
many cases this activity has resulted In noth
ing more than Inquiry. From this condition
there appears little chance of a change, and It
is evident that the manufacturers' attitude of
indifference will undergo no change for some
time to come. Holders, however, continue to
refuse any offers below their present Ideas, be
lieving firmly that wool Is good property at
present figures. Although the more prominent
buyers refuse to pperate at holders' prices,
they are keeping a close watch on the market.
FINANCIAL NEWS
and as soon as there is any evidence of a
change it 1b more than likely that some im
portant transactions Jil be consummated.
There is no doubt that stocks have been re
duced to a low level, and with any increase
in orders for goods a large amount of wool
will be needed.- In thtr meantime the hand-to-mouth
policy will undobtedly be continued to
cover immediate requirements.
The pulled wool market has, perhaps, been
the most active department of the local trade,
but as compared with a month ago business
has shown considerable curtailment. On Texas
the demand continues .quiet, with prices firm,
and buyers' ideas are still below the level at
'which holders are willing to part with their
wool. Good fine Fall is held at from 43c to 45c,
and six to eight months at frdm 40c to 4Sc
The demand for foreign wool continues on a
restricted scale. Carpet wools are firm, and
the fact that several Inquiries from the mllU
have been made In the market during the week
leads holders to believe that manufacturers
are getting short of stock and will be compelled
to come to market for supplies at no very
far-awaydate. China has shown little activ
ity, but some demand is noted for East India
wool.
HOPS The quantity of hops In first-hands in
this state is now placed at less than 300 bales,
with about 5000 to 6000 bales floating around In
the hands of dealers. Prices are fairly steady
around 13c and 14c for old crop. Considerable
new-crop contracting Is reported at about 12c,
with an occasional transaction at He more.
New York mall advices of recent date are as
follows:
Business was quiet, as brewers generally
continued slow In making purchases. The lim
ited supplies they were reported taking were
principally Coast hops, as they were able to
obtain them at slightly more advantageous
prices than state hops, which were very firmly
maintained, especially by up-state holders.
Malh advices from up the state report the
following:
Freeman's Journal, Cooperstown: "The very
few lots left in this county are not now on
the market: if they were they would bring a
higher price than has yet been paid, quality
considered."
Coblesklll Index: "The local market has ben
quiet the past week. The only 'sale reported Is
the Irving Osterhout crop, 2S bales, at 15c. to
T. E. Domett. The few growers who still
have crops on hand aro holding for higher
prices."
POTATOES AND. ONIONS The steamer sail
ing last evening took out about 6000 sacks of
potatoes, ana It Is hoped that this compara
tively small shipment will steady the market
a little. There has been a dragging tendency
to the San Francisco market for several days,
and this feeling has been reflected locally. For
fancy Burbanks, $1 25 per cental Is the top
figure, and most of the sales are around $1 and
$1 15, with ordinary stock selling as low as
76c. Onions are a little firmer. Tho crop did
not keep as well as that of a year ago, .and
the loss from this cause has materially reduced
the available supplies and advanced prices a
little.
BUTTER Two reductions of 2c each In the
price of butter have failed to prevent a steady
weakening In that product, and It Is probable
that a further cut will be necessary In order to
prevent accumulations. The San Francisco
market is very weak, and looking for an out
let for the surplus stocks which will not clean
up In the Bay City. Receipts are Increasing
quite rapidly In this market, and with the Cal
ifornia butter offering at much lower prices
than Oregon stock in the markets to tho north.
Portland must either reduce prices or else pile
up stocks. Store butter is holdlnc fairlv
steady at quotations.
EGGS Front street is divided in its opinion
regarding egzs. und Bales yesterday were made
at 13c, 13&c and 14c per dozen. Receipts were
very heavy, and buyers were not Inclined to
take hold. The Easter demand being satis
fled, there has been a slackening la business,
and with no outside demand to take up the sur
plus at a satisfactory figure, dealers are forced
to cut the price In order to keep them moving.
Further reductions are probable, and a halt
will not be called until a cold-storage basis is
reached. This basis, however. Is not far off,
and at lie or 12o some eggs would probably
be put away.
POULTRY The high prices which have been
prevailing In tho poultry market for the past
week or two have brought out larger supplies
of chickens than were actually .needed, and
the price has dropped. Yesterday $55 50 per
dozen were high figures for tho best chickens
In the market, and some of the stock failed to
move at much lower figures. For the first
time In several weeks, quite a few chickens
were carried over last Saturday, and they gave
the market a weak start, from which It has
not since recovered. Springs of the vintage of
1002 are In demand. If not too small, and sell
up around 5 per dozen without much difficulty.
Ducks are doing better this week, and sales
are made as high as $7 per dozen, with the
average run of receipts going at $5 60S 50 per
dozen. Geese are neglected, at nominally un
changed figures. The demand for turkeys at
this season of the year is limited, and quota
tions are to a large extent nominal.

GRAIX MARKETS.
Advance In "Wheat at Chicago, xrlth a
Firm Closlnpr.
CHICAGO. April 2. Many things contributed
to the strength shown in wheat. Northwestern
receipts were small, the weather was cold, and
the Interior and Northwestern elevators re
ported decreased stocks. There were also some
doubts existing as to the outcome of the Winter
crop. Yesterday's Washington weather crop
report was construed bearlshly, but some ex
perts sent In depressing news from the South
west. Seeding is backward, and the freezing
weather has been paralyzing the growth of
wheat- Cables were much lower. Thero was
a slight dip In prices after a fairly firm open
ing. Both tho Northwest and Southwest" were
higher, and bought liberally here. Cash trade
was Improved, and sample people reported that
indications pointed toward a resumption of
export business. May wheat opened 40Hc

vanced to 7214c May closed firm, ic up.

NEW YORK. April 2. The naming of the
most active stocks In today's markets Is, in
Itself, an Illuminating commentary on the char
acter of the market. United States Leather
led the list, following at a considerable Inter
val by Amalgamated Copper. Tho dealings In
Colorado Fuel fell to Insignificant proportions
In comparison with the recent trading. Sugar
was well up in the list of active stocks. Of
the prominent railroads, only St. Paul and
Louisville & Nashville showed a notable degree
of activity, and the fluctuations did not reach
as much -as a point In either of them. The
extreme rango In the United States Steel stocks
was for the common and for the preferred,
and both closed at a shade under last night.
In spite of the extraordinary earnings reported
for the year of the company business, and
the ofllclal assurance given of the success of
the plan for providing $50,000,000 additional
capital. Many of the usually prominent stocks
did not open at all before tho middle of the
day's session, and not a few will be found
with no sales recorded.
The price movements of any consequence aro
almost invariably among the less-known stocks,
and the reasons advanced were very obscure.
St. Paul & -Omaha rose 6 points on a few
transactions. And th rrwfn-ut R K..f TJ-
. Marquette dropped 0 on only one sals. Tne
.nocKing vauey stocks were active and strong,
th common rising A and the preferred 2 points.
Rumors were revived of a plan to retire the
preferred stock at par- The Wisconsin Cen
tral stocks and the Toledo, St. Louis & West
ern stocks were bought, apparently on the
strength of their strategic position in the com
petitive field. The New York dock stocks rose
In an occasional erratic manner on the sup
posed sudden realization of the valuable equi
ties in the property. The movement in the
Leather stocks was on the assumption that the
preferred stock and Its claims to deferential
dividends were to bo closed up in some way by
a bond Issue. There were other movements of
tess degree, hut this, too, served to Illustrate
the character of the market. The losses, which
were liberally sprinkled through the list of
Btocks of a similar character, hadf no other
foundation than that they had previously ad
vanced on rumors which have not been con
firmed. Tho movement In the general list was
Insignificant. The crop report by the Govern
ment Weather Bureau had some Influence on
the sentiment ut the present grain markets
are regarded as under the artiflclal Influence
of large speculative operations, and are, there
fore, distrusted as an Index of actual condi
tions. The statistics of the copper trade and
rumors of an approaching agreement as to the
output and price were given some credence.
Future money market shipments are still
awaited, the casing tendency of money here
being counterbalanced by the expectations of
early gold exports. The market closed dull and
heavy on the taking qf profits by room traders.
There was a very good demand for bonds,
which was better distributed than of late. To
tal sales, par value, $2,480,000. United States
bonds were all unchanged on the last call.
