THE MORNING OREGONIAN, THURSDAY. MAY 8, 1902. 13 COMMERCIAL AND The first -week in Mar has kept the record for the year to date in good shape, and busi ness in nearly all lines shows a satisfactory increase over the corresponding period a year ago, or in any previous year. Sank clearings for the first six days ran up very close to $5,000,000, and distributive trade In all lines was enormous. The banks are sending large quantities of money to the Interior to be used in the wool and stock movement, and, as usual, a large portion of this will drift back to Portland In exchange for merchandise. The wool season Is here at last, but the shearing has not been in progress long enough to induce much buying, and prices locally have not been affected by the temporary decline In the East. Potatoes are still selling at full figures. In fact, they have climbed up pretty close to the $2 mark. No sales have been made as high as that, but the advance has been so steady that It would not be surprising to see it con tinue until even that figure is passed. Onions are also reaching out for a new record for high prices for the season. Groceries show but few changes, but all staples aro quite firm. Teal is inclined to weakness, but pork and pork products continue to sell for high figures. WHEAT The local wheat market Is undis turbed by offerings of a sufficient magnitude to create any interest In the situation. Most of the exporters are quoting around C5c and CoHic, but are unable to buy much at those figures, and as high as 60c, and better. Is frequently bid by "the other fellow." The flour trade with the Orient continues at a, very low ebb, and this obviates the necessity of the mills paying much of a premium over ex port values. Freights aro holding steady, with Just enough new crop chartering being dono to prevent anything like a relapse In ratee. The spot tonnage disengaged in this port Is not offering at present, and is probably here to stay until next season, as there is not enough wheat offering to induce exporters to charter at the rates demanded. For new-crop ships, 80s is being paid as far along as De cember, 'and In San Francisco an early steam er has been fixed at 28s Od. The condition of the growing crop in the river counties con tinues excellent, but there are some bad re ports from certain sections farther up, the Palouse being "spotted," and the Big Bend in need of more moisture. The Commercial "West, of Minneapolis, under date of May 3, reviews the Northwestern wheat movement as follows: Lighter wheat receipts at Minneapolis and Duluth during April than In the same month last year, together with lighter stocks than ever before in country elevators, form a fao tor of more than ordinary Interest to the mill ing and grain trades at present. The 1000 crop was a. short one, and prices were ap proximately the same during April last year as they have been this year. Therefore, it cannot be assumed that price has had much effect cither way. Looking further for a rea son for wheat receipts being lighter this April on a good crop than last April on a smaller crop, some in the trado are rapidly coming to the conclusion that a greater proportion of the 1001 crop has been moved than was thought until recently. It has repeatedly been 6ald that the wheat movement In the country would Increase after seeding, because it always does; and. after the middle of May, somewhat heavier receipts at Minneapolis may naturally be expected. The opinion of some of the most conservative ele vator managers is that the crop has practi cally been moved, so far as any free move ment is likely, unless brought about by high prices. High enough prices always bring Out wheat. Receipts throughout this month may be expected to continue about as at present, excepting some Increase toward the close, which will be only temporary, is the general opinion in the trade. Some even assert that they expect the May receipts to be the light est, barring short-crop years. Minneapolis has had in recent years; "The amount of wheat back in farmers' hands," said a prominent elevator manager to the Commercial West this week, "is, I think, smaller than ever before at this season." There has been one condition on this crop that has caused some wheat to go out of sight, namely, a freer buying than ever before of the country elevators by mills outside of Minne apolis, which have heretofore drawn their sup plies more largely from Minneapolis. Then, too, all the mills of the Northwest ran heavily up to the holidays. The Indications are for a very light move ment of wheat In North Dakota. It Is thought that there Is little wheat there that will move readily. In Western Minnesota and South Da kota, on the Northwestern road. Indications point toward small stocks being held by farm ers, and a correspondingly light movement. In Southeastern Minnesota considerable wheat Is probably still in farmers' hands, but it will re quire high prices or fine crop prospects in June or July to move it in large volume. While wheat seeding is practically completed in Southern Minnesota and South Dakota, oats, flax and corn come next, and it will be the middle of May before seeding can be com pleted. North- Dakota Is backward. The ground is wet, and all kinds of seeding cannot be com pleted before June 1. Generally speaking, therefore, any material increase In the Northwestern wheat movement is not expected during May. Some of the bullish features of the Euro pean crop situation are thus brought out in F. Lenders & Co.'s weekly review of the Lon don market, under date of April 15: One encouraging feature has been the rapid disappearance of the heavy arrivals of white cargoes at ports of call, more especially the fact that, although the bulk of them were owned and ordered to the Continent, further purchases for Germany have been made of oth er arrived cargoes, which shows that that country can still be relied upon as Importer to a considerable extent, and encourages the nellef that of the large fleet still to arrive off coast, and owned by the Continent, every bush el will be ordered homo without being offered for resale. The weakest factors In the position are the contlnuesd unsatisfactory sale of flour, and the large quantity of wheat on passage. It is only reasonable, however, to suppose that after such a leng period of depression, stocks in bakers' hands must have been reduced to ex ceedingly small proportions, and that sooner or later trade must take a turn for the better; nnd In connection with the quantity on pas sage, -wo think It will be found that the max imum has already been reached, and with the recent and expected further early arrivals of the white fleet, considerable reductions will soon be made, and it is further to be noted that these cannot be replaced to any extent by further shipments from California, Oregon or Australia. Indeed, so far as the last mentioned is concerned. It Is worthy of note that the present f. o. b. price is about equal to the c i. f. value in Europe, and we know that several vessels chartered to load grain have "been relet with considerable loss to char terers, either owing to the scarcity of grain or to the Impossibility of shipping wheat ex cept at a dead loss. We think It' will be found that the trade with South Africa and V e homo consumption will not allow much of tls class of wheat reaching Europe. WOOL The wool market is not yet fairly under way, and prices for the present are to a large extent nominal. Shearing is on at lull blast In the Eastern part of the state, and; the clip is heavy and of good quality. A few Eastern buyers are cruising around the upper country, but no transactions have been report ed as yet. The situation in the East is thus reviewed by the New Tork Journal of Com merce, under date of May 3: , Very little change has occurred in the wool market for the past week, and prices have re mained tho same throughout. Consumers, as a rule, have exhibited very little interest in sell ers' offerings, and small parcels only have been taken. Buying In the West has con tinued at prices whloh mean an advance from current prices In this market, if the wool is to bo handled at a profit. The producing end of the market is decidedly firm and inclined to advance their Ideas. This has caused buy ers from East to be more or less conservative, and some are inclined to hold off the market to a certain extent. In the local market, though business has heen of small proportions, efforts on the part of buyers to secure concessions have been met with refusals; this has resulted in the demand being confined to fllllng-ln orders almost en tirely. Pulled wools have remained quiet and unchanged In price, with supplies in the mar ket of limited proportions only. Tcxa and territories dull, sample bags only being taken. On foreign wools the market shows few changes; some inquiry has been noted for Don skol and China wools, but sales aro reported &s moderate. POTATOES Choice Burbank potatoes have boW up as high as ? 1 85 per cental within the J FINANCIAL NEWS past few day, and there are rumors that even higher offers have been made for some choice stock still held in the country. The San Fran cisco market has been, showing more strength, and as It will be some time yet before the California new potatoes can take the place of the Oregon Burbanks, it would not be surpris ing if still higher prices are scored. Onions are also pretty firm, and sales are made from i (2 25 to $2 7 per cental. - Strictly first-class stock is pretty well cleaned out, but there is a fair amount of medium grade that can be secured at lower figures. BUTTER The market is moving along In fairly satisfactory shape at 17o for fancy creamery. Receipts have been liberal, but with some demand for outside shipment and considerable local trade, stocks are cleaning up about as fast as they come in. There Is only a limited demand for dairy and common creamery butter; and the greater part of this Is sold for about the same price as store, the ruling figure being around 14c, with some stock occasionally moving at a shade more. EGGS The bulk of the sales of eggs yester day were made at 15c and 15&c but a few dealers were still holding out for 16c, and In a small way wero securing that figure. Re ceipts are holding up to good proportions, and as the demand Is only limited, there Is not much strength to the market. The outside de mand is light. POULTRY There Is a good demand for Spring chickens, and If large and in good con dition, they sell up to $5 and $8 per dozen. Small stock of the "peeper" brand is not want ed, however, and are slow sale as low as $1 60 and $2 per dozen. Old chickens are also In good demand at $5 and $0 per dozen, and large hens In good condition will sell at even higher prices. Old ducks and geese are very slow sale, but large young ducks that will weigh around S pounds each, will sell at ?S and $0 per dozen. No demand for turkeys. Bank Clearings. Exchanges.

GRAI2T MARKETS. Seasonable "Weather Report Causes Break in Wheat at Chicago. CHICAGO. May 7. Wheat showed fair strength at the outset on the Influence of yes terday's cash business, and more rains in the over-wet Northwest, Traders changed their stand, however, on later reports of seasonable weather. Both the Southwest and Northwest sent in liberal selling orders on the weather news, and their orn markets were weaker. This caused local speculators to lose sight of the bulllshly small crop receipts, and fairly Arm cables. Longs deserted their holdings and threw stuff overboard. .Trade generally was not very heavy, and the market showed a dragging disposition most of the time. July opened HSKc to a shade up, at 75K675c dropped to 74c, and closed wtak, HS&c lower, at 74H74Kc Corn started with a good show of strength. When wheat broke corn followed. Trade was not large, and the greater part of the session the market dragged. July closed weak, lUo lower, at COHc Oats were dull and weak.

The Grain-Carrylngr Railroads Make Gain, Then Lose It AH Money Market Easier. NEW YORK, May 7. Today's stock market reflected an unavailing effort to contest the downward tendency. After yesterday's revul sion from the seml-revolutlon on Monday, a reactionary tendency was natural to restore the normal balance of things, but this tenden cy was reinforced by the decidedly skeptical sentiment over the prophesies of the anthra cite labor settlement. The reports of the con dition of the crops, and the weakness of the grain market, were a help to the, grain-carrying railroads, and they made a good advance in the course of the day's session.

Notwithstanding the relief afforded by the purging of unhealthy spots inr the market, there Is still a tendency to hold to the feeling that there may still be some Inflation beyond the curbstone bubbles which collapsed last week. The market closed heavy. The tone of the bond market weakened In sympathy with stocks. Total sales, par value, $2,430,000. United States bonds were all un changed on the last call.
