THfe MORNING OEOONIAN, THURSDAY, AUGUST, 21, 1902. 13 BARLEY WAS BRISK Large Sales of the Cereal Were Made in Past Week. WHEAT MARKET WAS QUIET Good Supply of. Fruit, "With Price Maintained by a Steady Demand Oregon Peaches and Toma toes Coming In Slowly. There has bocn'ofily a light movement In the local wheat market'ln thi past week. The ac tivity In grains has been confined mostly to barley- Large quantities ot this cereal have been bought by Portland exporters. One of the most prominent selling places -was Dayton. Wash. Nearly all the crop has been bought up and Is In the hands of exporters. A num ber of biff sales have been announced at $19 a ton. The cereal la strong all along the Coast. In San Francisco the market has been steadily advancing for the past month. "Wheatcrowers are hanging on to their prod uct pretty -well,' and have sold only a small fraction of the new crop. Harvestlnr Is now well under way, and does not seem to have been greatly retarded by wet weather. On ac count of the comparatively small purchases of exporters, the Cereal Is not yet freely moving toward tidewater. Tho first carloads were re ceived Monday. Prices have remained steady during the week between COClc for "Walla Walla and 02SHJ3C for bluestem. Valley has been ouoted at 6465c, but exporters have ceased to look to it for cargoes. Tonnage has shown a noticeable hardening. The engagemnt of two ships for Europe at 20s 8d and of a steamship at 27s has given strength to charters. There are two free ships la port. and It was generally admitted yesterday that they could obtain 20s 3d. The owners are firm, however, at'27s 6d. The market In oats has not fairly opened yet, but some transactions have been made from $18 a ton upward. At Shaw, Marlon County, on Monday, bids were received for & pool of about 2000 tons, but all were rejectod because the highest was only $15 a ton. In speaking of the American and European crop end the visible supply, George Broom hall's Corn Trade News gives the following tables and comment: " 1002. Quarters.

This season's aggregate crop, here forecast. Is 7,200,000 Quarters larger than last season's, which was Itself the largest, with one excep tion, of which we have any record. The world's visible supply on August 1 was 11,000.000, a decrease of 6,000.000 quarters from the visible supply of last year. From this It will be seen that the excess of the production of this year over last 1 Just about offset by the deficiency in the" visible supply, while If the depletion In- farmers' in visible stock were also to be taken Into ac count It would be found, we venture to state, that there Is less wheat In existence at the be ginning of the current season that there was a year ago. Russia Favorable harvest weather has con tinued to prevail generally, and there are prac tically no complaints, except from the Crimea, where a spell of hot dry weather did much damage when the crop was growing. Of the great Spring wheat crop there are no com plaints, and a "condition" map Issued by the officials a short time aero shnws t'm mn as satisfactory or good throughout the great rroaucmg regions or tne East. Port stocks are now reduced to about 100.000 quarters, which is probably the smallest on record, and naturally shipments during the week ended August 2 were of quite modest proportions. Roumanla Harvest is about finished, except in Upper Moldavia, and receipts at Bcalla hav increased to about 4000 tons per day, the grain being mostly wheat; but there are also some barley and oats. Wheat shipments In creased last week. Austria-Hungary For the wheat crop of Hungary the official indication of the yield has been further Increased 400.000 quarters, the total now standing at 10.900.000 quarters.' against 15,400.000 quarters, the final official estimate for last year. Argentina Our correspondent at Buenos Ayres reports that prapects for the new wheat crop are excellent. Wheat shipments are prac tically nil. Germany In the west the weather has con tinued unsettled, delaying the ripening of crops. In other parts of the empire harvest work had made fair progress. Some samples of the grain have been shown, but they have been mostly discolored, and a good deal of the new crop Is out of condition. WOOL Practically nothing was done In the woal market during the week. The wool Is now in the hands of the dealers, and prices were very steady. In a review of the New York market the Journal of Commerce of August 16 said: The local wool market has shown signs of Increased activity during the weeki with fair transactions reported In several quarters. Prices remain firm, and buyers, though using every effort to secure concessions, are seldom successful. On the whole, the mar ket Is In a mere healthy condition than It has been for some time. Inquiries have been more numerous and many sample bags have changed hands, orders resulting In some cases upon re ceipt of samples Lambs.' wool has moved well, with limited supplies only on hand. Me dium and high-grade wools continue to be the prime movers. Fine B supers, A wools, fine As and Cs, with fine combings, continue in fair request. Texas and Territory wools have not been as active, owlngo the difference be etween buyers' and sellers' ideas. Tho steady tone of the carpet market has greatly encour aged handlers of carpet wools, and. although business In this line has been quiet, an in creased demand is looked for at no very distant date. The mills are in good shape, and agents are stated to be busy fillln orders, while the new business placed is fully up to last sea son's averago. Manufacturers are now work ing full time and are likely to do so for some time to come. In foreign wools the demand continues light, bat prices remain firm, and a better business is looked for. Orders at pres ent are of a hand-to-mouth character, with In structions for prompt delivery. This would saem to Indicate that stocks are low and will need replenishing as soon as manufacturers have a call for goods. HOPS Hops wero quiet, and news from the Valley was to the effect that the growers are looking for better prices. Some contracts for the growing crop at 21 cents were reported. Advices from New Tork state that the crop of Otsego County will bo equal to at least 60 per cent of that of last year. In the New Tork market business was quiet and the market was without changes cr new futures of Interest. There was no attempt on the part of dealers to hurry salev they holding firm for full quoted values. No crop news was reported received from England or the Continent. CANNED SALMON Of the salmon market In New Tork the Journal of Commerce of Au gust 10 says: Salmon, spot and futures, claim tho atten tion In this department. Soft sockeye. In sym pathy with an active Interest "and reports of probable high opening prices, has advanced to $1 25 on tails, with, so far as can be learned, few holders willing to sell even at that figure! Some flats are available at $1 274. but holders generally quote $1 35, and half-pounds are held i STHSOc, where available. Of future sock- eye. Coast advices report tho pack all told at approximately 275,000 cases. One Interest has wired a price here of $1 25 on talis, $1 35 -on flats and S5c on half-pounds, f. o. b. Coast. This Interest previously withdrew prices on the $1 05 basis pn tails ant Is credited with a peck of 5000 cases. It Is strongly Intimated that the P. P. & N. Co. will name a price that will regulate the market, but nothing that can be regarded as official has been said' on this point. At the high basis the Impression exists that buying in this market will be limited. In Alaska salmon the feeling Is sympathetically stronger, but not quotably higher at the ment. Talis are available at $1 12Vil 15. Future red is offered at 05c. with, however, a disposition shown on the Coast to alvance quo tations. Columbia River salmon is held at around quotations. FRUIT The market Is plentifully supplied with, all kinds, but the demand has been steady and prices have been steady. There has been a falling off in the Inquiry for water melons, and stocks are accumulating. Oregon peaches are beginning to come In from The Dalles and Southern Oregon and are of a fine quality. VEGETABLES Oregon tomatoes are arriving lh small quantities and buyers have to depnd mainly on the California stock. The market Is well supplied, and tho only scarcity la In sweet potatoes. POULTRY Receipts of poultry have been light on account. It Is thought, of the activity In the grain fields. Stocks are expected as soon as the harvest Is completed and farmers have an opportunity to arrange shipments for the market. ' TJanlr. Clearing Exchanges. Balances.

Tone of Money Market Is Distinctly EasterInterior Demand lor Funds Still Delayed. NEW YORK, Aug. 20. Today's stock mar ket was more broad and acttvo than that of yesterday, and generally strong, but the strength was very unevenly divided, and was not consistently maintained. The hand of the professional was quite manifest In the market After one group of stocks bad been pushed up to a certain extent, they would meet selling or ders to realize In the moment that aggressive appearance of strength was developing In some new quarter, thus encouraging continued buy ing by outside speculators In the stocks." which were advanced, and thus facilitating realiza tion. It was distinctly a Morgan market. That is to say, the buying of stocks was based upon the assumption that Mr. Morgan has returned to Wall street ready to take up the broken continuity of many Important projects which he had under way when ho left for his vaca tion. Some of these projects have got into a snarl, legal, financial or speculative. Profes sional speculators In the street have an abld- Ing faith that Mr. Morgan will promptly settle them all. His Immediate appearance at bis office, going directly there from the ship, gave additional strength to the conviction that he would give immediate attention to pressing problems. It Is needless to say, however, that some of the expectations expressed by the sct Ive speculators In the market as to the scope and promptitude of Mr. Morgan's measurer reached a degree of absurdity. Th undeniably strengthening effect upon con fidence of this capitalist's return to actlvo di rection of affairs was promptly taken advan tage of by various speculative pools to make demonstrations in their favorite stocks by rap Idly advancing prices. A distinctly easier tone to the money market facilitated the operation for the advance. The ruling rate for call loans was 4 per cent, as against 4H per cent yester day, and the market for time loans was also called easier. The foreign exchange market naturally hardened In consequence. Contin ued selling of stocks for London account was also a factor In the demand for exchange. The Interior demand for funds seems still to bo delayed, and bankers report that outside lend ers were, placing their ready funds on call In today's stock market. Owing to the large pen sion payments and tho decline In the recent high level of Government customs receipts, , the Subtreasury has contributed over $800,000 to tho money market this week. Today that in stitution paid out $593,000 on account of gold deposited at Pacific Coast points, which is pre sumably Klondike gold. The Treasury state ment from Washington, however, shows a sur plus of revenue for tho day of $1,593,403, which cuts down tho month's deficit about three-quarters. "" Unfavorable crop weather, the futility oMhe -coal conference to effect a striko settlement. and the violent break In Colorado Fuel on ac count of the International conflict in the com pany, were Ignored in the trading. The spe cial strength of some Colorado railroad stocks was supposed to be connected with the liquida tion of Colorado Fuel. Recent- rumors of a merger of Southern Railroad stocks was sup posed to bo connected with tho liquidation of Colorado Fuel. Recent rumors of a merger of Southern railroads, of the Canadian Pacific's alleged Intention to secure an entrance to Chi cago, and of a prospective absorption by large railroad systems ot sundry small systems, wero all manifest Influences in the market. Froflt taklhg was general during the last hour, and -the closing, was active and Irregular. Bonds were generally firm. Total sales, par value, $2,600,000. United States bonds were all unchanged on the last call. Closlns Stock Quotations. STOCKS.

Wheat gained much of Its strength from the coarse grains. There was considerable changing going on, and this constituted the bulk of the trade. At the opening there was a good advance on the rains, firm cables and damage to wheat In the shock. There was much fear among the September shorts over the congestion In that month, and tho Improbability ot relief from contract re ceipts. No contract stuff came in with the 303 cars received. The showery conditions' In the Northwest gave rise to fears that the growing crop In that section may be dangerously re tarded. After the early rush of buying orders trade was very dull for several hours, but a good rally set In late on a fair cash demand and 15 loads accepted at the seaboard. Sep tember opened c u to unchanged at 70H8 70Hc, dipped to 60Thb and reacted to 703sC. closing strong, 9S8&C up, to 70iG70Xc Corn receipts were only 13 cars, three of contract grade. Cables wero higher and the wet weather badly retarded growth. It was of ficially stated that the corn Is very green and stocks were so depleted that shorts were fright ened again. September closed 31c up at 62T4C Bad reports from the oat fields caused good buying. Commission-houses bad large orders and local shorts were eager to cover.
