it THE MORNING OBEGONIAN, MONDAY, "APKIL 21,' 1902. GOMMERGIAL AND FINANCIAL NEWS The volume of trade the past week has been fair, and Its character has been satis factory. General business conditions are good. .Bank clearings continue large la the I absence pf any special feature, like grain sales, to swell them. Railroads and water lines are loaded to their full capacity with traffic. Charter rates for ships are rather low, and there aro few disengaged vessels on the Pacific -Coast. Rail rates are stable, and a very heavy -volume of freight is mov ing at tariff, this business being now cleaner than It has been before In years. The mar ket for the week has been devoid of features but a healthy activity has prevailed la near ly alt lines of commerce. Grain has held firm throughout the week. "Wheat has been steady in foreign markets, but Chicago has shown material variations. There was not enough movement in the local field to give much -character to the market, but local auotatlons were guided by Liver pool rather than Chicago. There were a few sales of cargoes afloat, but generally tho trade had little life. At this time of the year not much acth'lty Is expected In grain, and the halting tendency is unusually marked this Spring on account of the news from the wheat regions. This Is a, critical period for the Kansas hard wheat crop, and in other parts of the jvboat area the prospect Is none too good. Still, conditions are not yet settled, and it may turn out that crops concerning wheh there Is now much nervousness, will be all right. It Is expected that the coming week or 10 days will tell thefstory and decide the course of the wheat market for some time. Favorable weather will cause -a weakening In price, while distinctly unfavorable, or even a continuance of doubtful conditions, will Bend prices up. The feeling Is pretty general, however, that the market has been rather optimistic, and that It -will require less ef fort to push wheat up than would be re Quired to depress prices. Growers of the Northwest who still have wheat are holding It for further advance. They will not consider offers at present rates, so strong Is the belief that tho coming crop will be short and the price correspondingly high. Even In the Northwest there Is no probability that this year's wheat crop will be so large as that of last year. Many fac tors of uncertainty remain to be reckoned with before the grain will reach maturity and reports of dry weather In the Eastern wheat fields Increases the bull feeling here. The sup ply In the hands of the farmers Is not large, but It will get no smaller until there shall be a decisive turn. In the wheat situation. Te flour market Is dull. Not much activity In the foreign demand Is looked for before July perhaps It will not come before October. The Oriental market Is well stocked; Indeed, some regard It as overstocked. Hong Kong has kept up her orders regardless of the fact that the Northern cities have latterly been taking their flour direct Instead of through Hong Kong. Now those Northern cities are fully stocked, and the great southern port finds a comparatively limited field for work ing off Its heavy supply. There Is no new business to be had In either China or Japan at this time, and recent sales of flour there have been at prices 10 to 15 cents per barrel less than the mlllmen think they should re ceive. There Is a little more elasticity In the Japanese demand, but tho market there Just now Is not much better than that of China. And Port Arthur and Vladivostok share in the general market conditions of the Orient. The situation in Africa Is a trifle better, ow ing to the fact that the Australian shortage prevents the big Island from sending supplies of wheat and flour across the Indian ocean aad the Americans can serve Africa, without fear of Australian competition. But that market Is comparatively limited. Inasmuch as the prosperity of the milting business depends very largely upon the for eign demand, the flouring mills of the North west are having a rather quiet, time. Two contradictor movements or tendencies are observable here, however one toward selling out local mills or combining interests, the oth er toward enlargement of present plants and construction of new mills. This may arise from the belief by some that present dullness is only temporary. In fact almost an annual experience, while others who may have suf fered more or less from Oriental Interrup tions to trade fall to see anything hopeful In the prospect. The local demand is good, but the milling business cannot be tied to this. Utah mlllmen have cause to rejoice In the success of their efforts to get .a reduced rate on wheat from the Columbia Valley to Utah. The short wheat crop of that state last year left It under the necessity of Importing a con siderable part of Its bread In the form of wheat or flour. Cheap rates on wheat will enable the Utah mlllmen to turn out flour for prices that will rule out competition. Flour must pay the regular rate. It Is ex pected that a considerable part of the wheat remaining In the hands of Oregon and "Wash ington growers will find Its way to Utah under the arrangement which has Just gone into effect. The Oregon lumber Industry Is increasing With marked rapidity. All the mills are crowded with orders, and the transportation companies have all they can do to keep the traffic moving. The limitations of the railroads at times when large demands were made on rolling stock for other commodities have driven a considerable part of the lumber freight to marine craft and shipments by water are heavy and constantly Increasing. The de mand from the East for Oregon lumber is so heavy that the mills cannot fill all orders. Prices are fair, and the outlook Is encour aging. The local produce market is rather quiet. Potatoes are moving In large quantities, chief ly to San Francisco, where the market Is ex pected to take all Oregon has to sell. The prices are very firm, with an upward tend ency. Onions are also bringing good figures, but there Is a large supply still in the lualatin country and not much advance is looked for In the price of that vegetable. Butter continues weak, even after a break f 24 cents In the price. Receipts are" large, rhe came is true of eggs. Poultry Is firm, with receipts below the demand. Everything was cleaned up Saturday at good prices. Veal is very weak, and some of Saturday's reoelpts were of none too good quality. The retail butchers have agreed not to pay more than 7 cents for veal, but the commission men have eet no such limit, and quotations run from C to S cents. Groceries were steady throughout the week. It has been active and generally satisfactory. TrouDle in Eastern factories has had the effect of producing dullness in the Oregon wool market, and the prospect Is not all that could be wished for the new clip, which wllj be one of the largest eevr produced In the state. No one cares to make contracts under present conditions. There has been consid erable bidding for the mohair clip, and local competition has sent the price "higher than the Eastern basis. Nothing Is doing in hops. Thirty-nine building permits for Improve ments aggregating in value $ 114,100 were is sued In Portland In the week Just closed. For the same week last year the number of permits Issued was 11, and the value or the improvements $40,300. The number of real estate transactions last week was 144, and for the corresponding week last year they totaled OL Sank Clearings.

EASTERN LIVESTOCK.' CHICAGO, April 10. Cattle Receipts. 200. w .GRXlX MARKETS. "Wentlier Rales "Wheat at Chicago Slight Advance. CHICAGO, April 10. -"Wheat was ruled by the weather. The people who sold late yester day on the rumors of rains, bought In hurried ly at tho opening when dryness was reported again, and caused a sharp advance. The small Northwestern and primary receipts also caused some alarm to shorts, and Induced good buying at times. Traders were firm In the belief that the whole future of wheat prices hlnces on the moisture that may or may not come to the relief of tho Winter crop In the nexV 10 days. For some days the dry weather has been dis cussed, and as days go by without the needed rain, the situation grows more critical and complex. Southwestern news Is generally bull ish. Not only Is the "Winter crop full of dan gerous possibilities, but the story Is now pretty generally circulated that there will be a very serious shrinkage In the area of Spring wheat In the three Northwestern States. Cash wheat is growing scarce here and in the Interior, and this consideration caused holders to stand firm today. No shipping business was done here to day, and the export demand at the seaports was poor. All this worked against the early upturn, but exceptionally large clearances of wheat and flour, 778,000 bushels, together with the big bullish factors, brought a good rally. May opened 50?ic" to H0c advanced, at 744 J&lc, and soon sold to 74c A dip to 74c followed on- profit-taking, but the situation was strong, and May closed 0c up, at 74c Corn trado was only fairly active In spots. Cables were Indifferent and the sample trade was dull. May corn closed firm. HSHctip, at C2H0C2WC "Weather was the factor In the oats market.
