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. B a nlc Clearing;.

J?EW YORK STOCK MARKET.
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

Collapse In Corn at Chicago Helps to
Cause Drop la "Wheat.
CHICAGO. April 16. 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
