THE MOKNINQ OBEGONIAtf, THUESJDAT; MAY 15, 1902. 13 COMMERCIAL AND General trade, as usual at this season of the year, shows a slight falling off as compared with some periods earlier In the season, but compared -with any corresponding period In former years. It Is the best on record. Not only Is there a heavy volume of distributive trade, but there is, with the exception of wheat, a heavier movement In agricultural products than ever before at this season of the year, Oregon apples are still coming- In by the carload and are finding a market at very remunerative figures, more potatoes have been shipped than ever before, the crop of oats was large, and prices are firm and advancing, the output of butter has increased enormously, and eggs, poultry, veal, pork and practically everything else that Is raised on a farm Is In good demand at satisfactory prices. The most Important changes In prices in tha past wcelf have been a sharp advance In mo hair and a temporary weakness In potatoes. There have also been advances In oats and wheat, and hops are In demand at the best prices of the season. The wool market Is a little slow In getting under way, and buyers are waiting for mfi. -srs to settle In the East before making an active campaign. The clip is large and. the quality excellent, and there Is a feeling In pome quarters that' better prices will prevail later in the season. The first crate of Oregon strawberries was received Tuesday, and sold at high figures. The season I Is a little backward, but the yield will be large, and as a good shipping demand has been worked up within the past few years, the crop will undoubtedly be marketed to good advantage. , j "WHEAT The local wheat market has as sumed a "Summery" air which Is not In keep ing with the temperature and the weather. There is a good, firm undertone to the market, but business is of such small proportions that the situation Is almost wholly devoid of In terest. Holders of wheat are mostly very firm In their Ideas regarding values, and as the bulk of the Bales that have been made recently have been at figures right up to the limit of value, cr a trifle over, they are not inclined to weaken any, now that the statistics are becoming more bullish. Sales of Walla Walla have been made as high as 07c. but the ruling quotation Is about 60d, with some dealers ven turing 66Hc In this port e-erythlng has been pretty well cleaned up, and as there are but few ships due within the' next 60 days, the shipments for the remainder of the season will be light. The Oriental flour trade Is practically at a standstill, and, from present Indications, May shipments from the Pacific Northwest will be smaller than In any moitfh for the past three years. A fairly heavy demand is report ed for flour for South Africa, and the ship ments In that direction may be sufficient to help out the shortage In the Oriental exports. The only activity In freights is In new-crop ships, and exporters are still taking them up at 30s, nothing being obtainable for less, ex cept large carriers, which will sometimes take 29s. The ondltion of the growing crop In the Pacific' Northwest continues excellent, and much the same reports come from California, these reports materially aiding In keeping freights rather firm at present quotations. Spot tonnage falls to move, and the disengaged ships now in the river will probably go over to next season. The Cincinnati Price Current, in re viewing crop conditions for the week ending last Saturday, says: The rains of last week cast of theMlssls sippl River, followed by warm temperature, made almost Ideal conditions for the growth of all vegetation. West of the Mississippi River rains have lately fallen where most needed for wheat and other growing crops. The Winter wheat crop Is maintaining a fairly good prom ise, "With present weather conditions favorable for It In the Northwestern States Spring wheat seeding has been retarded some by ex sslve rains, which have affected the acreage moderately; otherwise, the situation would hardly be regarded as unfavorable. .Latest reports from foreign countries are to the effect that all grain crops are maintaining a remark ably good condition. The oats crop has been benefited by recent weather conditions, and although it had a rather poor start It has improved, and the present prospect may be regarded as fair. The corn crop is starting off auspiciously. Plant ing has extended to the northern part of the corn belt, and nearly everywhere that It has come up it Is reported to have a good stand. The hay prospect Is fair east of the Mississippi River, but not so good west of it. The move ment of grain to market Is moderate. Supplies of wheat held by farmers are probably not far from an average, but supplies of both oats and corn are generally very light, Snows's May crop report says with the excep tion of Oklahoma every Winter wheat state of Importance east of the Rockies shows 210 points lower condition than a month ago. Win ter wheat condition last month, per official re port, was about the smallest on record, viz., 78.7, against 01.7 in April, 1001, 84 past five years' April average, and 82.4 past 10 years' average. The Oklahoma condition, of which Snow makes an exception, was only 67 last month, compared with 97 In April last year. The other Important Winter wheat states and conditions last month and a year ago are; Kansas, 73 and 105; Indiana, 81 and 89; Mis souri, 91 and 98; Michigan. 83 and 72; Illinois, 00 and 92; Nebraska, 93 and 100, and Ken tucky. CS and 73. Broomhall, In reviewing the situation from a foreign standpoint, prints the following decid edly bullish comment In the Liverpool Corn Trade News, under date of April 29: Farmers' supplies are In very moderate com pass, so that, with light supplies of foreign and native grain, merchants' stocks are being worked Into very freely. The port stocks have shrunk to quite Insignificant proportions, being sow returned at 3,311,000 quarters, or but three weeks supply, and not only are the reserves In British merchants' hands shrinking, but those likewise In American elevators are rapidly dis appearing. During the 12 weeks since Feb ruary 1, the aggregato visible supply, com prising the ocean visible for Europe, official American visible and United Kingdom port stocks, has decreased 16,000,000 bushels, where as In the same period It Increased 1,000,000 bushels last year, 14,000.000 bushels in 1900. nnd 8,000.000 bushels In 1809. As to what will happen with regard to these figures In thelm medlate future one hardly likes to prophesy, but It may be taken for granted that by the end of the current season this year's aggregate visible supply will have fallen to a lower level than what we have been accustomed to In re cent seasons, at any rate since 1S8S, the year of the collapse of the Letter corner. Viewed generally, there can be no doubt about the healthiness of the situation at large; Stocks are comparatively light everywhere ex cept on the ocean, and these will rapidly and severely decrease during the next three months, so much so. Indeed, that the contrast between the figures of the present time and those of August next will be striking to an Intense degree. When It is considered that this fall ing off In stocks, which we must look forward to before the end of the season, follows upon one of the biggest wheat crops ever harvested, viz, 336,000.000 quarters, one has some con ception of what the quantity consumed must have been, the Increase over a normal year being due principally to the high price of Indian corn and oats, not only In America, but In Europe to a certain extent. WOOL AND MOHAIR Steady but quiet Is about the situation In wool In this market. Business could be worked at quotations, but growers are not developing any, anxiety over the outlook, and the business has hardly opened as yet Shearing is progressing at a, rapid rate, and some of the interior warehouses are filling up. In the Valley the principal activity Just now Is In mohair, and the mar ket has been very firm and active for the past few days, there being an advance -of over 5c since last week; Tho Eastern wool market Is thus reviewed by New ""fork mall advices to May 10- Vrry little If any change Mas occurred in the wool market for the past week. Prices, how ever, have not softened any, owing to the light demand for all grades, but are firm at last week's quotations. Stocks aro decidedly small In all classes of domestic wool, and for this reason holders are not affecjed by the quiet conditions. Consumption at the mills continues, and must necessarily result in replenishing orders at no very late date. In the meantime holders feel that with stocks In their present condition they need not press sales at price concessions In order to realise or cut down supplies. .Business In Boston has been some what auleter this week, the -improvement .nQta FINANCIAL NEWS In the market last week having .disappeared. Sales for the week are reported as amounting to 1,480.000 pounds. In the local market the demand this week has been of a. pleclng-cut character, small quantities only being taken. Pulled wools have been In light demand, though prices hold firm. Some sample bales of Texas and terri tory wools have been taken, but orders from these have not materialized-as yet Foreign wools remain quiet and unchanged, little of Interest being reported on any clss. HOPS The market on spot goods is very strong, and nothing less than 15c" is quoted, with a strong probability that higher prices would be paid where It was possible to work business. The situation in the East is so strong that American hops shipped to Europe carrier" In the season are now being returned. Under date of May 10, the New Tork Journal of Commerce has the following: No business of consequence was reported transacted locally with brewers, although deal ers In several Instances stated that a lew more inquiries were being received. The tone of the market held firm, and It was learned that there was some trading among dealers, It be ing reported that about 100 bales of choice States changed hands at a price close to 20c 1 Advices from up the state reported "firm mar kets, and sales of a few small lots of choice were reported made at 20c f. o. "b. cars coun try points. Advices from the coast also re ported firm markets, with light offerings, and one dealer reported advices saying that bids were being made of 13c for contracts for 1902 Sonoma hops. Imports of hops reported for the week were 400 bales, but they Included 372 bales American hops returned, making the Im ports of foreign hops only 28 bales. FRUIT Arrivals of fruit have been very heavy within the past week and bananas espe cially have been on tho bargain counter. An other car arrived Tuesday before the remnants from the three cars which reached here a few days earlier had been cleand up, and a. car came In yesterday. Oranges are also In good supply, but the navels are disappearing. Two carloads came In Tuesday, and a car of sweets was received, and about one or two more .cars will end tha season for the navels. Apples aro plentiful, aid sell at fancy figures, but the stock now coming from Southern Oregon and Hood River is the best ever put on the market so late In the season. Cherries and straw berries are becoming plentiful, although but two crates of the Oregon berries hpve reached the Portland market They -have sold at 40c per box. California berries are plentiful around 1012Hc per box, and by next week there will be a plentiful supply at low figures'. POTATOES The Irrigated farms- of the Yakima country cut a wide 6wath Jn the San Francisco potato market Monday and Tuesday, the commotion being due to the arrival In the Bay City pf 4000 sacks, which had been shipped from Taklma by way of Seattle. As the Puget Sound cities have, to a certain extent been purchasers of Oregon potatoes, this competition from an unexpected source caused a sharp de cline for a brief period. The market rallied again, however, and yesterday everything choice that came along found buyers at about! the old figures. The last steamer took down lees than 3000 sacks, the smallest BhJpment made for months, apd it Is believed that there will be a good demand for choice old potatoes for a long time. New potatoes are coming in more freely in San Francisco, and the quality Is Improving, but they are not yet sufficiently plentiful to cause much of a weakening1 In prices. - ONIONS The onion Beason is practically ended, and old stock has been nearly 1 cleaned up. For a few days only the price soared about ?2 50 per sack, but the difficulty in keeping the stock In good order this season was so great that It would probably have been more profitable for growers to have sold early at half that figure. New onions are plentiful In San Francisco, and afford a good substitute for old, especially as the price Is materially lower. The few that have reached Portland have sold at $1 752 per bag, and were of pretty fair quality. , GROCERIES The wholesale houses report an excellent demand for 'staples, and the volume of trade is much greater than that of last May. Prices for the past week have ruled rather firm, but no material change has Been made in quotations. Sugar continues dull, and retailers all over the Northwest who bought heavily In expectation of an advance, have about abandoned hope, and there is a general feeling that a decline may occur before there Is an advance. Coffee Is showing a weaker tendency, and lower prices are expected. A prominent New Tork trade" Journal prints the following on the coffee trade: Excessive supplies in sight and the enormous movement of the Brazil crop are the two fac tors that are receiving most of the attention of the trade. The visible supply statement on May 1 showed a world's visible supply of about 11,400,000 bags, against a total of 6.900. 000 bags on July 1, 1901, or a gain of 4,600,000 bags, thus showing that the large surplus from the present monster crop has accumulated at distributing points and Is waiting for an out let In the face of the present over-sUpply of coffee comparatively little .consideration is given to the possible production of the next Brazil crop as a factor. Furthermore, ideas as to yield of the coming crop are decidedly at variance. Some are inclined to look for a crop somewhere between 8,000,000 and 9,000,000 bags, while others maintain that with the present large acreage under cultivation in Brazil and the new trees coming Into bearing, they do not see how it, is possible for Rio and Santos to produce less than 10,000,000 bags during the coming crop year. A crop of this size, together with the mild crops, which should bo between 4,000,000 and 6.000,000 bags, will provide sufficient coffee to meet the actual consumptive requirements of the trade. There fore, figuring on the basis of a 10,000,000-bag' Rio and Santos crop for 1902-03, no material, reduction In the visible supply of coffee Is ex pected for the next year. On the other hand, however, the low estimates for the next Bra zil crop are entitled to as much respect as the larger ones, they being the opinions of good, conservative houses, and It may be that con siderable inroads may be made Into the pres ent large stocks before the end of another crop year. However, at present the majority of the trade are giving comparatively little atten tion to future supplies, they arguing that the present stock of coffee Is more than the trade can take care of on the present basis of values, and that a gradual sagging of prices Is to be expected until a new low record Is established to conform with the present record supplies. BUTTER There is a little more activity In tha butter market and during the 'past weok some pretty heavy shipments have been made to outside points. Over five tons of store but ter were shipped tor San Francisco by the last steamer, to be converted Into choice California creamery butter, and there were also some large shipments of both store and creamery to Alaska and Puget Sound. Prices are ruling steady at unchanged figures, best brands of creamery cleaning up all right at 174c with very fair stock obtainable at 16c EGG8 For over a week the egg market has held steady at 1516c Most of the dealers state that they cannot clean up at anything In excess of 15c, and' that 157)40 Is the . top for single-case lots. Others get rid of some pretty liberal receipts at 16c and explain their suc cess In getting the top figure as due to a care ful sorting and handling of the ergs, a large, clean egg selling at better figures than small, dirty stock, with dirty shells. Quito a few eggs are going into cold storage, and they are being put away at higher figures than usual this season. At least one car of Eastern eggs has reched Puget Sound within the past fortnight and another Is said to be on the way. POULTRY The very attractive prices paid for chickens for several weeks past have at last resulted in satisfying the demands of tho market and prices have eased up a - Jlttlo. They cannardly be termed quotably lower, hut there Is no longer the rush to, secure them, even before they arrive, and unless thra should be a brisk demand at the close of tha week, a" decline is probable. Large-sized fry ers sell better than anything else Just ndw, and in good condition $5 per dozen is readily obtainable, but the most of the offerings sell at much lower figures, some "peepers" going as low as XI 60 per dozen. Large young ducks sell well, but there Is no demand for old ducks or geese. Turkeys are domlnaL thro being so few .that are worth anything at this season of the year that the demand Is also light Biak Clearings. Clearings. Balances.

Union Pacific More Active Money Easy at O Per Cent or Under. NEW YORK. May 14. Today's small changes in prices of stocks are mostly gains, but the firmness of the market was passive, and had no prospective element In so far as could be perceived. The day's totaltransac tions were smaller than for many months. Union Pacific made some show of strength, and was far In the lead of all other stocks In point of activity. Gossip was tn circulation of an Intended' increase in the dividend rate on the stock. Action on the dividend Is not expected until July, and It Is natural .to sup pose that the course of the Winter wheat and com crops between now and then will have a bearing on the dividend action. The course of these crops is Just now tho subject of great est uncertainty In speculative circles, and this uncertainty was a large Influence In the specu lative halt In the stock market which took place today. Another cause was the anthracite miners' convention, which was in session at Hazleton to decide whether to make the condi tional strike of the miners permanent No light was thrown on this question before the close of the day, but the coal stocks shared generally in the firmness of the market An other feature of the day was the wide recov eries scored by some of the high-priced stocks, which fell violently under the liquidation Mon day. There were other high-priced stocks In the inactive list which sold today at wide de clines from the previous sales. The money market was much quieter today, and there was no difficulty In obtaining call loans at 6 per cent or under. The process of borrowing in foreign money market was con tinued today, as Indicated by the further de cline In the sterling exchange market The complaint of some large, syndicate transactions and band subscriptions which have) been n progress reetntly had Us part In relieving the money marktt and 'lightening the pressure to sell stocks. The Subtreasury requirements on the money market are much less than last week, partly owing to Increased pension pay ments. Bonds were dull but firm. Total sales, par value, $3,270,000. United States 3s declined H per cent on the last calf. ClesfBg; Stock Quotations. DESCRIPTION.
