THE MORNtSG- OBEGONIA, THUKSDaY, SEPTEJlBEIt N25, 1902. 13 ALL TRADE IS GOOD Heavy Volume of Busihess in Local Market. v OPENING PRICES FOR HOPS Steady Traffic in Wheat and Otlier Cereal Flonr Demand) In creasing In Orient Port land Fruit IJuslricsB. Cereals Firm, with -hie business- at local and Interior points. Hops Market opens at about 20 cents. Meats Quiet, firm aijd unchanged. Lard Fairly active and higher. Fruit and Vegetables Heavy trade but slightly affected In last day by cooler weather. Country Produce Poultry In light sup ply and firm; butter firm and In good" demand: eggs firm for fresh, with good eupply of storage. Staple groceries Trade good; coarse salt higher. The week has seen a continuance of the heavy vplume of trade which has made things lively in the city's commercial district during the past few months. The most Important feature cf the sir days of business was the opening of the hop market.- Baling Is general In the yards, and receipts are running about 50Obales daily. Sales up to date have been made in the vicin ity of 20c. Flour, Wheat and other cereals aro firm, with good business doing." Fruit sales have been good, but the rain may check the demand In some lines. Country produce has been especially strong In price. Live And dressed meat and provisions are firm. The only change of Importance In staples was an advance In rock salt. WHEAT The Portland market yesterday was quiet and easy, with few sellers In sight. Foreign-markets were unsatisfactory and the East "was lower. Exporters will not quote over 62&c Xor club, though the mills are taking ltat a shade better, quoting club at C3c and bluestem at 65c. Trading has been heavy during the week, especially In the Interior. The wheat situation In Europe Is thus sum marized In the Commercial West's letter, dated London, September 5: The spell of fine weather mentioned In our last week's review has only been of very short duration, and eVer since Sunday the weather has again been showery, with flno Intervals, but harvest operations have been Eadly Inter fered with in a good many districts, and dry ing winds are very much wanted. Shipments last week have been large - again,' viz., 1,3(30,000 quarters, and the quantity afloat Increased by 248.000 quarters, and the visible supply by 177.C00 bushels. The demand for near-at-hand wheat Is, In consequence of the unfavorable weather reported above, good, and the premium obtainable for spot wheat ana parcels and cargoes afloat and nearly due, over all distant positions, is considerable, showing the strength of the market .and the soundness of the general position. Considering that the buying ahead has been so very small, and that the requirements of good dry foreign wheat will be large for the next few months anyhow (because our home-grown wheat cannot possibly be la condition for milling for a long time), we think that wheat is not likely to go down In the Immediate future, unless there should be a great pressure from the United. States, Russia, or Roumanla. The states are undoubtedly ship ping pretty freely, and will probably continue to do o unless the weather with them should become very unfavorable,, but there is ample evidence that even large shipments will find ready takers on this side of the water for weeks and weeks to come. . , Russia has shown a little more disposition . to eel, but even from there the prices asked are In most cases still pretty high, and In the Dan ube they are Holding considerably above our Ideas. We are told that .In both countries the arrivals from the Interior are not big, and not until they become more liberal can we expect exporters to meet buyers liberally. Summing up the whole position, we consider the present ''Pricea warranted, and do not look for a serious decline in the immediate future. and the more distant future will entirely de pend upon supply and demand, and the crop prospects in the Argentine and Australia. From tho latter colony there Is no fresh news, and apparently the late rains have generally done good, but from the Argentine there are com plaints of drouth, and there markets are very firm. According to Broomhall's last report, the ag gregate supplies of- breadstuffs credited to Eu rope In all positions on September 1 were 32. 080,000 bushels less than one year ago. The. European import requirements for the current cereal year are estimated at 3SO.G00.O00 bushels, and -of ex-European countries at 60,000,000, or a grand total of 440,600.000 bushels; against this tho surplus available for export is placed at 448,000.000 bushels, of which the United States Is expected to furnish 180.000.000 bush els. The yield In the United Kingdom will be lighter than last year, and some of the smaller countries will show a deficiency, but, as a whole, the European crops will show Improve ment. According to the agricultural-returns, the crop of Great Britain will be about 51.500, 000 bushels, against nearly 54.000,000 bushels last year. German Imports will show a reduc tion; last year that country imported nearly 20,000.000 bushels, almost double the amount imported "tho year before. Best advices from Canadian Northwest wheat shippers are that It will have a crop of 6S.O0, 000 bushels, of which 60,000,000 are avallablo for export. The following Is the copy of a let ter received by C. N. Bell, secretary of the "Winnipeg Board of Trade, from J. S. Larke, Dominion representative to Australia, whose headquarters are at Sydney, New South Wales: The prospects for ,a bad Australian harvest aro increasing, which Involves a demand for wheat as well as flour. I am desirous of se curing tho trade for Canadians directly, and to this end I should be glad to receive from your board graded samples of wheat as fixed by the Inspectors, and the names of such persons and firms as are able to export, .with the cable ad dress and code used. It Is necessary to add that Canada will have no monopoly of the mar ket, as United States firms here are ready to quote for hard wheat. Canadian as well as United States, at market rates. The Hungarian Ministry of Asrlculture esti mates the world's yield of grain this year as follows: Bushels. 2.903,230.000 1,579,040,000 L141.CSO.000 3.004.720.000 Wheat Rye Barley -Oats .. Corn 2.073,480.000 FLOUR The local market Is especially good for old wheat flour. Flour made from the new crop Is not in demand, and will not be until the wheat cr the flour ground from It has had time to sweat. Oriental markets are looking' up, with a stronger demand. Prices are not yet satisfactory, but business' here Is on the Increase, and. boats on the Sound are filled up to the end of October. Of the foreign flour market, Beerbohm's Corn Trado List says: There has been very little animation In the flour market generally; the consumptive de mand remains of a hand-to-mouth character, but millers' margin between wheat and flour values is so small that the Manufactured article should be dearer. The trade generally, how ever, appears still to believe In a future drop In prices, and are waiting for the lowest level; the probability Is that this point Is nearer than many expect. In London there has been little change In prices for some time past; town households are still at 22s 6d ex-mlll as the lowest price; whites or patents being 3d higher. The leading first Spring patents, such as Du lufh Imperial, Gold Medal and Superlative, are worth 25s ex-store, and second patents. 22s 6d 23s. English country flour has come down 6dls In price, a well-known country roller whites brand selling on Monday at 22s deliv ered. There Is, however, no general decline In -country flour, tho supplies of native wheat be ing still too small Liverpool quoted no change on Tuesday, but the demand was very limited. City-made patents were quoted at 2429s. and Minnesota patents at 24s Cd25s 6d. Glasgow quotes Minnesota, patents 23924s, and is the cheapest market for American flour. The stock of flour In London has been consid erably reduced, and probably does not now ex ceed 200.000 sacks, compared with over 600,000 sacks at this time last year. Glasgow has 46. 000 sacks, agatnst 150,000 sacks last year, and Liverpool 75.000 sacks, against 80,460 sacks last year. It Is someyeaif since flour stocks were so relatively small as they are today. BARLET AND OATS The market for barley shows continued strength, both in feed and brewing. Shipments to Europe direct and to San Francisco are heavy. Last year the barley crop of California was more than 500,000 tons, with a carry-over crop from the year before of about 40,000 tons. There was an excellent de mand for It, and at the end of the season, about June, there was none to be had. la California, It was expected that the crop would be about 550,000 tons, but weather conditions were un favorable, and It Is now estimated that the crop may reach only 450,000 tons. From Europe there is a demand for half again as much-as was sent there last year. Added to that there ,1s a strong demand from Australia, which for merly raised sufficient for Its own needs. This Beason, owing to the drouth, the crops have been a failure. The Eastern States also wish more barley than previously. The unsupplled demand for barley la affecting the market In various ways. The general result Is that oats, hay, bran and feed are purchased In larger quantities, and the prices have bten raised. Another thing that has caused the firmness In oat3 locally la the. Government's require ment of 2000 tons for shipment to Manila. The specifications provide that the oats must be clean and free from dirt, weighing not less than 82 pounds to the bushel, and double sacked. x HOPS Until the hop market Is fully opened It Is not safe to say where the price will land. Ono big sale of 1000 Dales, January delivery .was made during the week at 20c, and Eugene, yesterday reported a sale .of 100 bales at the same price. No one here will acknowledge that higher prices have been paid. The hop market in New York Is reviewed by the Journal of Commerce of the 19th as follows: The tone of the local market held firm, but business continued slow, brewers generally showing a disposition to hold off and await developments, prices on their present basis being too high to conform with their views. It was stated that ono dealer offered Pacific Coast hops for forward deliveries to brewers at 23c. but other dealers held for higher prices. Telegraphic advices from the Clast teported a small sale of 1902 Oregons at 20s.c, but the market was generally quoted at 20S22c Re ports from up the state reported firm markets, with growers offering tbelr hop3 sparingly. Schoharie County, Which last year produced about 23,000 bales. It Is reported, will not yield over 5000 bales this year. London cable, ad vices reported a firm market and stated that, growers were inclined to hold the crop. Cable advices received from Nurcmburg, Germany, reported a higher market, the advance in prices being 5 marks, and was due to continued ex port buying for English and American account. The present cost to Import German hops to this market Is 80g33c, according toiquallty, showing an advance ef 2c per pound from prices ruling last week. The Watervllle Times of September 16 rays: Tho hop harvest Is now over, and the crop Is smaller than was at first estimated. Soma" growers have secured one-third as many as last year, but In the majority of cases much less than one-fourth the yield of 1001 has been picked. Se'eral growers in the southern part of the town and down towards Hubbardsvllle. who last year averaged 40 bales, hax'e this year less than five. Tho market remains rather dull, the buyers showing no great desire to purchase, and -the growers are hot ready to selL Offers of 30c have been refused, although that prlco would buy hops, but not a reasonable quality. Pacific Coast hops In New Tork on the UKh were quotable at: 1002, 24S?20c per pound; 1031 Choice. 252Gc; prime. 2324c; -poor to me dium, 20T22c; 1000. 1020c; olds. S12c FRUITS AND VEGETABLES While receipts of green produce, have not been as large as I last week, yet there has been little ' change In price. The cooler "weather will check the de mand for melons and peaches. Eastern cran- berries are in market and are quotable at $9 10. . The Now England Grocer says of the crop: The harvest promises to be second to that of no previous year. There Is a large Increase of new acreage, the result of the good profits obtained the past few years from the cranberry swamp Investments. The condition of the fruit Is better than the average. There has been comparatively little trouble from worms, and -scalding Is sllsht The growers are looking forward to a profitable year, considerably above the average, while anxiously watching the market. The prospect for higher prices Is not to be found. s FARM AND DAIRY PRODUCE Poultry has been firm all week, with receipts rather under the usual quantity. Eggs have maintained the former price, 25c for fresh Oregon, and Arm at that. The price would undoubtedly have gone higher, but for the fact that a large quantity of eggs have been taken out of storage. Some Eastern eggs have also come In during the week. The butter market .1 firm for the fancy grades. WOOL The local wool market Is dull, with but little stock on hand, and prices are largely nominal. "A slightly better Inquiry Is report ed for Oregon wools this week," says the Amer ican Wool and Cotton Reporter, of the 18th, discussing the Boston market, "and sales of Eastern are reported within the ralnge of 13Q 17c in the grease, the former quotation, of course, for comparatively heavy stock. On the clean basis, the wools have said at 4750c, ac cording to 'fineness, staple and -general condi tion. .In Valley Oregons, practically nothing has been done. The wools (quarter-blood) are held at about 20c in the grease, costing 36937c clean." The total receipts at Boston since January 1 have been 611,930 bales domestic and 112,334 bales foreign, against 503.661 bales domestic. and 105,269 bales foreign for the iyrrespond!ng period of 1901. This Is an increase of 108.275 bales domestic, and an Increase of 7065 bales foreign. Since January 1, the total shipments amounted to 180,748,812 pounds. The sales slnco January 1 amount to 144,161,000 pounds. against 174.814,000 pounds for the corresponding time last year. MEATS. MERCHANDISE. ETC The trade In meats slowed up somewhat since the last report, but prices have continued firm. The ranges are reported very dry, which will have a tendency to send up the market for live beef and mutton. A slight advance Is noted in Portland lard. The only change of importance In staples oc curred yesterday, being an advance of $1 a ton In all grades of coarse salt. PORTLAND MARKETS. Grain, Floor. Feed, Etc.

DaBgcroBs Breaks Threaten De moralization e 5evr York Market Effect of President's Operation. NEW YORK, Sept. 24. After a stormy day In tha stock-market, the close was quiet, but with the undertone still unsettled. It was a day of violent fluctuations and of many changes In the courser ofrlces. Twfce there .was & dangerous break which threatened demoraliza tion, and twice there was an cffectlvoxecov ery. Just at the lait there as some very large setting by holders, who seemed desirous of taking advantage of the rally In force, and who ccemed ye"V to harbor doubts whether- tho storm of liquidation had spent Its force. But there was undoubtedly a very general sentiment at the close that the position of the banks had been effectually strengthened, and that tho vio lent loan contraction might have reached Its limit for the present. The news of the sighting of a steameshlp having on board a consignment of nearly $1,5C0,000 gold was a strong sentiment of Influence on the market. The opening break in prices, which ran from to 3 points for the active leaders, was aggra vated by. the unexpected news of President Roosevelt's disability. The reports given out from thePresldent's train served to Insure the fears on Hiat score. There was a suspicion also that yesterday's late heavy liquidation hadbcen due to some advance Information of the opera tion on the President. The consequrnce was the preeent price recovered generally during, the first hour. The opening rate for call loans was-announoed at 18 per cent, and after a momentary reaction to 15 per cent, the rate soared to 25 per cent. Stocks were then unloaded In enormous volume, with the demand apparently reduced to noth ing. There was a heavy slump throughout, which carried prices of many leading stocks from 3 to 5 points below last night's level be fore any effective resistance was shown to the decline. The banks were cutting' down 'the accommodation on call to brokerage firms and proceed Inc with the drastic measures which were Inaugurated for recuperating their re serves. The advices were, heard from all stdeB that abundant resources were available for all regular business purposes, hut nothing further was heard of the assurance that there was no danger ot money flurries. The great specula tive combinations which have . taken out loans and bought stocks on margin on. this assurance for some time past had nothing to do but to sell out tfreir stock and repay the loans. Various estimates are current of the extent of these loans for speculative interests, and the closeness of the combination among the specu lative interests which have acted together Is not clearly defined, but It Is believed that the resources to the extent of $60,000,000 have been subject to centralized direction In the specula tive campaign which was undertaken. The ac tion of the banks this week marked the aban donment bf the hope that had been entertained that measures of relief by the Treasury De partment and the automatic relief of gold ex ports would save the situation through the crop- moving penoo. Talk was renewed today of an Intention on the part of the Secretary of the Treasury to Increase the Government deposits with tho banks up to the market value of the Govern ment bonds for security, but no official sane tlon could be secured for this report. This dls eusslon was a factor In the late rally In the market. Meantime, customs collections have changed the early gain by the banks this week Into a loss of over $300,000 to the Subtreasury. There was deposited at that Institution $450,000 for transfer to Chicago, and $100,000 for New Orleans. An effective agency In the rally was the changed attitude of the brokers for a specu lative combination, which sold thousands of shares yesterday, but which turned to the buy ing- side at the low level today. Their opera tions were centered In the Gould stocks, and resulted In carrying Manhattan 2& over last night's level. The smallncss of the net changes generally marked the effectiveness of the recov ery In tho rcarkt. Bonds 'suffered quite severely In the Hqulda tlon, but rallied vigorously in sympathy with stocks. Total sales, $6,170,000. Unltfd States 2s, declined M. and the old 4s advanced 14 per cent on the last call. Closing; Stock Qaotatleas. STOCKS.

The general Impression in the wheat pit was that the September shorts had all covered, and the market early was weak. Later In the session, there was talk of a larsro shipping business at Duluth, which. connected with the strength In corn, brougnt about a sllsht rallr. The same Interests that have been active In buying September were good buyers today of December stuff. The principal factors were flno weather In the Northwest, with liberal receipts in that section, and selling by the Northwest. An estimate of the Russian wheat crop of 540,000.000 bushels, the largest on record, was a weakening factor. September opened unchanged to c lower, at 7908Oc. sold down to 78c, rallied to 82c, and closed unchanged at 80c December opened a shade to !40C lower, at 690e90COc ranged be tween 69 and 6O069. closing at 60691ic After a slight decline early In the day corn was strong, in spite of the weakness In wheat. Excessive rains throughout the corn belt, to gether with light receipts, were the main bull Influence. There was a good demand from leading longs, while shorts covered freely. The opinion seems to be gaining ground that shorts in both September and December will have con siderable troublo In getting contract stuff to fill orders. September lc higher, at 6214c De cember closed c higher, at 45045c There was a strong undertone In oats, al though trading was light. December closed c higher, at 81c Provisions ruled Arm, and for the most part of the day prices were higher all round. Com mission houses bought January pork, while packers were the sellers. January pork closed 15c higher, lard lGc higher, and ribs 12o higher. The leading futures ranged as follows: WHEAT. Opening. Highest. Lowest floe.
