13 THE MORNING OBEGONIAN, THTJESBAY, APBIL l7r 1902. COMMERCIAL AND The week opened with weather that was de cidedly favorable tor farm work, and corre spondingly unfavorable for general trade In the cities. With the entire farming population attending to belated work at home, there were but few buyers in the cities and towns. Prices for farm products have shown some improve ment, except In one or two commodities, which are slightly easier. The course of the potato market would Indicate that California can han dle about 7000 sacks per steamer and hold a steady market. If there is much Jailing off from this quantity an advance will occur, and If It Is Increased to 10,000 and 12,000-sack lots, as were going down a few weeks ago, a slump may be looked for. The market for mohair has ruled active, but the price paid tor the first big pool at Inde pendence has not been exceeded by anything since, and the ruling quotations are 2223c. Wool Is not yet moving, but there Is consider able stir In anticipation of the movement, which will get under way In a short time. The market has not yet shaped up so that opening prices can be forecast with any de gree of accuracy. Shearing will be a little later than usual, but the clip will be very large. Veal and pork, especially the latter, have been scarce for the past few days, and re ceipts are Inadequate for the demand. Oats are quiet, but steady, and barley Is firm. Eggs are firm, and poultry is on the up grade. For nearly a week there has been such a scarcity of chickens that high prices have been reached. Butter Is not sharing In the general pros perity, but continues to sag. and some dealers are predicting that It will be impossible to make a clean-up until the price shall go to 20c flat for best creamery- This is nearly 10c un der the Chicago price, and if the product were available in sufficient quantities the unusual performance of shipping butter East from Ore gon would be witnessed. The California article Is beginning to cut considerable figure In the Oregon market. Grocery lines are without notable features. Sugar remains unchanged since the 10c advance on the 5th. There has been a slight advance on Cordova coffee, and Japanese rice fell oft a little. This rice Is grown in our Southern States from sed obtained in Japan, and the supply is so larze that it has been found ad visable to lower the price in order to stimulate the demand. WHEAT It has been over'a week since a spot charter was effected, either at Portland or on Puget Sqund, and In the meanttme there have been no fresh arrivals of chartered ton nage. This shows plainly that there Is little business doing, and It Is doubtful whether enough wheat to load a ship has been pur chased within the past 10 days. The compara tively small stocks still In the country are In the hands of men who can hold indefinitely If they are not satisfied with the price, and the indifference they are showing would Indicate that the present quotations are not attractive for them. The mills which figured quite prom inently in the market earlier in the season have, in many localities, completed all of their engagements, and with only a moderate de mand for feed are not forced to enter the mar ket and pay the premium over export- values that is sometimes exacted from them. For Walla Walla quotations are hanging around 64c and G4c, but only an occasional small lot can be obtained at these figures. A round lot of bluestem was reported sold Tuesday at 00c, but this figure was something above the ex port value. There Is nothing doing in Valley wheat, and It Is hardly probable that there will be any further shipments of this variety. Ship owners seem to be about as firm Jn their ideas regarding freights as farmers are about an im provement in the price of wheat. There are three disengaged ships in port, and with 30s being paid for new-crop ships, It Is apparently impossible to secure these vessels atiates any where near those paid in San Francisco. Sen timent in the local market is divided as to the future of freights, but the general opinion among exporters seems to be against a free chartering at the rates now demanded. If a stand Is made against high rates for new-crop ships, owners will soon be willing to accept reasonable rates for spot or near-by tonnage. Weather conditions In the Pacific Northwest have been quite favorable for the past few days, and the wheat Is looking well, but It Is hardly possible under any circumstances that may prevail from now on to have as large a crop as was grown last year. The crop In the East and the Middle West Is also unsatisfactory in many districts, and the outlook in general was sufficiently bad to cause a sharp advance In the Eastern markets near the close Tues day. This advance was fully maintained yes terday, and dealers look for a good, hard mar ket for wheat for some time to- come. Thelow freights are a considerable element In this 'sit uation, and crop conditions generally give prices an upward tendency. The Cincinnati Price Current has the follow ing on the situation: No essential change has occurred during the week in condition of Winter-wheat crop, which continues fairly good. The weather has been cool, but this was favorable rather than other wise, by preventing too rapid a growth, and al lowing the plant to stool better. A too rapid growth of the plant early In the Spring Is sel dom good for it. There is sufficient moisture for the present over most of the wheat area, but portions of Iowa. Northern Missouri, Kansas, and especially Nebraska, are very dry. In the Spring-wheat states seeding has commenced, with the ground In good condition In most places, and the ground fairly well provided with moisture. Oat seeding has been progressing rather slow ly during the past week, due to cool weather and too much moisture in some places. In a general way the crop Is starting well, and a full average acreage may be expected. The In terior movement of grain Is without particular feature. Farmers are generally busy in the fields and marketing little. The offerings of wheat are comparatively moderate, and the marketing of corn and oats is generally report ed as light, with little held for market. HOPS The local hop situation holds promise of better prices, but so many elements remain to be determined before the crop will be ready for market that present quotations are not affected. A few more contracts have been re ported at 12c and 12Hc It is estimated that the increase of hop acreage In Oregon this year is about 3 per cent, making the total for the state about 17,000 acres. But a S per cent in crease In acreage means only about 1 per cent Increase In yield, inasmuch as new vines do not produce as freely as old ones do. .Pacific Coast hops now range In New York from 15c for medium to lS'ic for choice. The London Brewers' Journal of March 15 says: Extra heavy as was the crop in 1001, the quantity now left In planters' hands Is lighter than in ordinary years, and it is surmised that before the next season arrives hardly any Eng lish hops of last year's growth will be procura . ble for immediate delivery. This comparative bareness of the market 1b due, not to the en larged wants of consumers, for, as proved by the excise returns, the quantity of beer retained for home use in the United Kingdom last year was 503,000 harrels less than In 1000. and 1.332,300 barrels short of the amount drank In 1809, but the scantiness of supply is chiefly, owing to the action of brewers, who, availing themselves of the prevailing cheapness of the articles, and the facilities afforded for putting their goods away in cold storage, almost free of charge, have bought up all the suitable par cels of hops they could lay their hands on in anticipation of future needs; and this clearing of the market has caused fresh purchases to any extent to be difficult to complete, even at firmer prices. This week's demands are particularly strong on account of the Jewish holiday next Monday, which is already apparent in the market. Chickens sell readily at the present high quota tions. Poultry prices are firm all over the country. East as well as West. The price of eggs is as high as the market will stand under the present conditions, and there was a slight tendency to soften yesterday afternoon. The prospect, however, will not warrant much reduction In price. Butter is slow. Lower prices are Inevitable, and will .probably be quoted today. Receipts arc large, and the quality is good, but the pro duction at this time of the year will .not war rant holding to the prices that have .prevailed for some time. ORANGES There 1 a scarcity of good FINANCIAL NEWS oranges. Receipts are In limited, quantities, and there is a distinct tendency toward ad vance of price. The market would take more than It Is getting of this fruit. POTATOES AND ONIONS Shipments of po tatoes and onions are still very large, most of these vegetables going to California and Ari zona. The local market is -pretty well supplied, but prices are firm. Though the quantities in the hands of the growers are not large, it would not be surprising if there should yet be a break In the market, for the lateness of the season urges all to dispose of their vegetables, and there Is no disposition to hold longer. Po tatoes and onions are the only vegetables sent out of Oregon. It is estimated that this sea son's shipments will amount to at least 1800 carloads, and that the growers will have real ized not less than $500,000 from these crops.- POULTRY. EGGS AND BUTTER The de mands upon the poultry markefhave for some time been so large that the supply has been used up pretty close, and receipts are now small, with no prospect of immediate improve ment.

Southern in -Head Again, bnt 3Iore Normal Condition Prevails. NEW YORK, April 16. The stock mar ket reverted to a more normal condition to day, after yesterday's extraordinary movement In Southern Railway. The transactions In that stock, although scarcely more than one-fourth of those of yesterday, still overshadowed the market, and were on a scale beyond precedent, with a very lew Exceptions. Heavy profit-taking was In evidence all day long, which kept the price almost constantly below last, night's level. The stock's net loss was . There was some selling Induced by the emphatic dlsclalxn- ers on the part of the Southern Railway In terests of any participation In the Louisville & Nashville purchases, present or prospective. But the distinction drawn between, J. P. Mor gan & Co., as bankers, and the same firm as the controlling Influence in Southern Railway, seemed somewhat strained. The extensive power over the affairs of Louisville & Nash ville allotted to th$ firm seemed sufficient se curity for Its operation In harmony with South ern Railway." The brokers, most active In the selling of that stock today were those who were the heaviest buyers yesterday, and who have operated conspicuously for the so-called Gates element In all the railroad deals of late. They were sellers of other stocks which have recent ly been brought up to a materially higher level. But they also were large buyers at new points In the market, having a large part In the ad vance of the coalers, both hard and soft. The buying of Chesapeake & Ohio, Norfolk & West ern and Baltimore & Ohio seemed to be based on the assumption tha they should enjoy the same advantages, as-those of Southern Railway In similar and neighboring territory. The West ern and Pacific stocks, as a rule, were subject to realizing, but there were a number of small er railroads whose stocks were sharply ad vanced, with an appearance of absorption for control, which really induced a speculative fol lowing among the professionals because of the prevalent feellngJn Wall street that a "rail road cannot be left out over-night without be ing snapped by some syndicate," In the ex pressive phrase of the president of one of the coalers. Wisconsin Central was the most con spicuous Instance of this class, both of Its stocks rising more than 3 points and closing strong. In contrast with a reactionary tendency In some parts of the market There was a large number of minor stocks which showed gains of a point or more at one time during the day, but the cases are rare where the full advance was sustained. Sugar became strong for a time on the decision to limit the period for debate on the Cuban reci procity bill. Amalgamated Copper was sold on account of the reduction In Anaconda dividend and fears that similar action would be taken tomorrow In the Amalgamated dividend. Inter national Power made an extraordinary upward movement of lfH points, closing with a net gain of 17J. Rumors were current of some combination with American Locomotive. The gains were not well maintained In any case, and there were not a few declines during the day among important stocks. But the evidence that the financial powers which have been leading the speculation are still active, kept the Interest In the market awake. The money market showed no disturbance, and there was no advance In the exchange market, despite large sales of stocks for London account, and the prospective demand for ex change on account of American subscriptions to the new British conaol loan, the time of Issue of which was announced today. The market, closed active and Irregular. The 'bond market generally was Irregular. Total sales. "$4,305,000. United States bonds were all unchanged on the last oalL Closing Stock Quotations.

London Market Irregular, With Nervousness Regarding Peace. NEW YORK, April 16. The Commercial Ad vertiser's London financial cablegram says: The prospectus regarding consols shows an Issue ct 32,000,000 at 93, equivalent to 82, allowing as discount the full payment and a quarter's Interest to July 5. Half 'the loan Is taken, which Is firm In advance. The Roth chllds. Morgan's and Baring's prospectus was out at 2 o'clock.

Conditions in wheat fa vored better prices at the opening. Cables were strong at good advances, and dry-weather re ports continued to come from the suffering Southwestern wheat country. Influential In terests bought largely early after a momentary reaction, and prices for some time held strong. Near the noon hour a selling movement was started on reports of rain In Iowa. St. Louis was a heavy seller, and the corn collapse was a strong bearish feature. May wheat started 0Uc up, at 74074c, sold at 73c. and then worked up to 74c. On the decline. May sold at T3073Kc closing 0ic lower, at 3Hc- Llquldatlon In corn ruled the day. Early trading was better, but the pit soon became very nervous, and after some fairly heavy buy ing, bears began to pound the market to force longs to let go. May closed lUc lower, at 61c Some traders were of the opinion that leading bulls were hammering the market In order to get a better load at low prices. Oats were quiet, and" were traded In' on a moderate scale, though fluctuations were er ratic May closed steady, unchanged, at 43c The leading futures ranged as follows: WHEAT. Opening.
