'HEAT The local ana inicnur
Irnve been very Quiet during the week, only a
few lots changing hands. Exporters show no
mxlety to buy. nor are the millers ready to
tqke much grain at the ruling prices. Some
cheat was bought during tlie ween ior smp-
irnt rom the Sound at a slight advance over
the price quoted here. No business has been
3one In charters for a week. The en route

nage of 59,860. and the fleet In port. 35 ships,

Soaded and waiting at Astoria for favorable
reather to cross out.
Of the grain situation In Europe. J. W. Bush,
3f London, writes to the Northwestern Miller:
Tlie one striking feature of the wheat trade
ks the extraordinary firmness of the London
spot wheat market, that is to say, inc jiiarK
Lane distributing market, as uisunct irom uia
general "cost, frelsht and Insurance" trade.
a general rule, the London spot marxot
leads the way In weakness, anticipating any
inrt every Influence making for lower prices.
fodav. however. London Is probably tne nrm-
est market In the world, and this for a variety
3f reasons. First and foremost, there is un-.
loubtedly a much larger demand for foreign
vheat than usual because of the vers' poor
juallty of the "home-grown wheat, this year,
tvhl-h necessitates a much greater admixture
of "strong" foreign wheat than has heretofore
been customary. As a rroof of this it may be
(lcr.tioned that the weekly distribution of for
eign wheat In London during the last three
months has been nearly 70.000 quarters, com
pared with an ordinary average of 45.0C0 quar
ters a week. The favorite wheat with those
nltfprs desiring to add strength and- backbone
to Lhi home-grown wheat Is No. 1 Northern
)uluth. and, falling that. No. 1 Manitoba
vheat. The first named happens also to be
I the standard wheat deferable under London
option contracts, and as coincident with this
increased tirmand for consumption, there Is a
somewhat extraordinary lack of offers of this
irtieular sort of wheat from America. The
luirements of "blank" sellers In the open
nprkt have also helped to push up prices for
llramer'i.-ite delivery, "with the. result that while
ordinary runs of wheat have been without
particular change during the last three weeks.
I Spring wheats have Improved 9dls per quar
ter In this reriod.
Hitherto, the. English country millers have
(been able to depend upon an unfailing supply
of cheap, strong American Spring wheat flour;
now. however, this article Is relatively scarce.
land Is as dear. If not dearer, than the real ma
terial, which also Induces a larger demand for
Iwheat In London.
With regard to- other branches of the trade
I It Is a fact that not more than a half dozen
cargoes of wheat for shipment hav.e" changed
hands during the last three weeks, and half
of these were new-crop La Plata wheat, guar
anteed to weigh 01 pounds per bushel, at 2Cs 6d
20s Od per 4S0 c 1. f., February-March ship
ment. In other parts of Europe also there are no
signs of animation In the wheat trade. Ant
werp, which partly feeds Germany with foreign
wheat, is so blocked up with wheat that light
erage rates have nearly trebled, end In Ger
many the very large home crop, poor though It
lis In quality, frightens speculators.
South Russia continues to ship very large
quantities, mainly to Continental countries, but
jthe stock3 In the ports November 13 were nev
jertheless estimated at 2.250.0C0 quarters, com-pa-ed
with only 400.000 August 13. and 1.300.-
1000 quarters last year.
This comparative abundance of wheat added
w the prospect now almost certain of a record
quantity from Argentina next year. Impels
caution on the part of European operators, and
makes one wonder at the extraordinary flrm-
nesr displayed by the Amelcan market.
AMth regard to the Argentine wheat croo.
lour latest cables state that the surplus Is very
sure to amount to from 2,000,003 to 2.500.000
tons. The prevldus largest report was .1,100.000
lions, in 1300. following the 1890 crop.
Consul S. Smith writes from Moscow, Octo
ber 27. 1002-
The following figures are given br the De
partment of Agriculture as to the condition of
grain crops In European Russia, the Baltic
provinces, and the Caucasus:

Barley 396.409.000 G, 608.310

From the above figures, the crop In European
Russia Is considered to be above the middle
I average.
FLOUR Tho flour market Is stronger than
jit was a week ago, hut no alterations have
been made In the list. The local demand con
tinues steady, and the shipping demand Is
good from the Orient and South Africa. One
new cargo was worked for the latter direction
during the week. The China steamer Indra-
velll, which pu to sea yesterday, carried the
larges flour cargo ever shipped from the Co
lumbia River.
The movement In mlllstufls is good, -and
(quotations are firm and unchanged, with pros
f.pects of better rrices In the Spring.
Oa th- subject of milling In China; the
j Shanghai Mercury says:
T'je marked success which has been attend-
tlng the operations of the two flour mills al
ready running In Shanghai, no doubt Inspired
Mr. Chu with the Idea that there was room
(here for a third, and as he had a rice mill
already rjnr.lng. he determined also to Install
a plant necessary for the grinding of wheat on
an extensive scale;. and the result Is a fine
new and well-equipped flour mill.
On a staring above tho ground floor, which
had to be added to the building to adapt It to
the requirements of flour milling, are nine sets.
or as an American miller would call them,
"stands," of double roller, of neat and sub-
stantial design, and above these Is the main
moor, witn two centrifugals, iwo rotary sieves,
i'.taree double purifiers ana two scalpers The
mill Is capable of turning out 359 bags of flour
a day
recent Consular report says:
It has neen ascertained that tho soil and
climate, of ;lhe northern Island of the Japanese
group are well adapted to the production of
wheat, barley and similar' grains, and a big
flour-making company has recently been start
ed In that part of the empire. It Is estimated
aH sppe 10.000,000 pounds of flour annually
are now neing turnea out, ana . me cuiuihvu?
hopes in time to prevent the Importation of
American flour. Last year, the importations
of flour from the United States amounted to
more Iban 63,000.000 pounds, which Is only
about three-fourths aa much as In 1000'; but
probably the falling off was due to stocks car
ried over. America has no Important com
petitor In this commodity, but Australia sends
flve-elghths of the wheat shipped to Japan, tho
total wheat import amounting to 11,500,000
pounds.
HOPS "With dealers practically out of the
market, and few growers willing to sell, there
has not been much life to hops this week. Tho
few transactions recorded have been below
choice In grade, and have been at full yalne
for the quality. Some of the growers who have
shown a disposition to sell have 1 n pressed
by the banks or merchants who lent them
money; but the majority of holders seem deter
mined to hang on until next month. In the
hope that prices will advance when brewers
commence to buy. Of the situation In New
York State, the Watcrvllle Times of December
3 says:
The few growers who still have their hops are
very firm for higher prices, and as most of tne
email Jots have been marketed, there Is very
little doing. We have not heard of a sale for
a week. The fact that exporters are paying 37c
In near-by counties, if not in this, makes hold
ers very stiff In their demands.
The Otseco Republican of December says of
the Cooperstown-market:
The local hop market has been very quiet
the past week. There have only been a few
purchases, and 36c has been the top price.
'We understand some dealers have orders to
buy. but the growers whose crops are wanted
hold them above the prices offered.
"WOOL Of Coast wools In the East, the
American Wool and Cotton Reporter of Decem
ber 4 said:
A small business has been done In Oregon
wools. The latter are not In larse stock, and
prices are flrmly sustained. One" sale of 30.0CO
pounds of heavy Oregon clothing was made at
1414c, to cost 45c, clean. A small sale of East
ern staple Is reported at ISc Valley Oregon
Is firm at 20S?21c for No. 1 and No. 2.
California wools have sold moderately, the
choice northern wools bringing 21c, costing
somewhere between 53c and 60c clean. Some
middle county wools have been taken at 16c
In the grease. There Is still a good demand
reported for defective wools, which have to be
carbonized sales of this kind of stock being
reported within the range of 30333c, clean,
for the poorest.
The Reporter quotes Oregon wools at East
ern seaboard markets as follows: Eastern sta
ple, lS10c; Eastern Oregon choice clothing,
1617c; do average, 15lGc; do heavy 12 13;;
Valley Oregon No. 1, 2021c; do No. 2, 2021c;
do No. 3, 1020c: do lambs. lG17c
PRODUCE Fruits have moved well, with tho
market fully supplied with all kinds of sea
sonable varieties. Tropical and semi-tropical
fruits are plentiful, and the demand will- In
crease as the holidays approach. . Yesterday's
receipts included two carloads of oranges In
fine condition, and one car of bananas.
Late Oregon vegetables -are helped out with
frequent aVrlvals of California produce by
rail and steamer. A carload of sweet pota
toes was among receipts yesterday. Potatoes
are a trifle firmer, as the stormy weather cut
off some of the supply, but the shipping de
mand shows no Improvement.
The poultry market Is In fine shape', .with:
arrivals cleaning up promptly. One factor. In
helping the poultry trade has been the de
creased game receipts. Turkeys are somewhat
scarce, farmers evidently holding them back
for Christmas.
Oregon eggs have been scarce during the
week, but were more plentiful yesterday.
Dealers quoted up to 33c for strictly fresh.
Eastern eggs are In full supply, and sell from
22l??2S!Sr, according to quality.
Butter, after barely holding Its own for a
week, declined 24c, and Is fairly steady at
the new price.
GROCERIES. MEATS. ETC. The principal
cause of excitement In the grocery Jobbing
trade. was the ad-ance of 20c per 100 In sugar
Tuesday. This put sugar 60c higher for the
week and SOe for the fortnight. All grades
of sugar, cane and beet, were affected. Coal
oil Is lc higher per gallon. Rice, tea, canned
goods and prunes show a strong tone. A
Marysvllle, Cal., dispatch, dated December -6,
says: 4
.Information was received here tonight from
various centers that Indicates that nearly the
entire olive cros of Northern California has
been ruined for jplcklns because of the recent
frosts that came nearly one month earlier than
usual. ,The amount -.of pickled ripe olives will
be tar "less .than -half of last year's pack. The
olives 'left on 'the trees are in good condition
for oil. The. fruit runs smaller .than last year,
the Spring having been late, retarding Its -development..
The' market for livestock and dressed meat
has been active during the week, and all prices
are quoted firm. 'Good cattle and good sheep
are scarce. Hams and dry salt shorts and
backs are down He Lard Is unchanged.

YORK STOCK MARKET.
Colorado' Fuel and St. Paul the
Weakest Features Inroads Made
, Upon Rankin? Reserves.
NEW YORK. Dec 10. The . stock market
was awakened today from tho condition of
lethargy which has recently prevailed by an
urgent and precipitate selllnc movement. The
selling gained In volume aa the day pro
gressed, until violent declines were, forced In
the last half hour of the trading. Taking of
quick profits by the room traders waa the
only source of buying, find the closing was
extremely unsettled and active, though above
the lowest figures. There were evidences of
professional attack on the market, but the de
cline In prices dislodged stop-loss orders and
Induced the selling of long stocks by tired hold
era. The Immediate factor in causing tH"e de
cline was the shipment of $1,000,000 to South
America and growing evidences oft severe
pressure In the money market.
The liquidation did not appear to be forced
by actual large calling of loans, as the call
loan rate did not run above 6 per cent, but
apprehension that this measure would be adopt
ed by the banks played a large part In the de
cline. Beside the cold outgo, the Subtreasury
statement showed nearly $900,000 additional
cash taken up from the money market. Tho
Inroads upon banking reserves since the last
bank statement have already risen to about
$4,500,000. with promise of a continued drain.
In the time money market, additional difficulty
un fmirirl In .ar.iirIno- lnfina (in n n V- rmi TVi r

matter of private treaty between borrower .and
lender, and depended largely on claims of pre
vious business association. The foreign ex
change' market was unaffected, by the gold en
gagement: and held steady at yesterday's fig
ures. New York exchange at, Chicago also icll
to 10c premium. The day's, sales of grain for
export proved somewhat disappointing-, and
disturbed the hopes of an early replenishment
of the foreign exchange market from that
source.
The agreement reached In the Colorado Fuel
dispute was greeted with a 5Vt-Oolnt drop. In
thnt security, the argument being that the
settlement removed the stock from the In
fluences of a market contest for control. The
circulation of a syndicate contract Inviting de
posits of Hocking Valley stock for the purpose
of retiring the prefcrerd stock and of votlns
the common stock for consolidation, merger or
other combination, carried a pretty broad In
timation of plans maturing for the consolida
tion of control of the bituminous coal-carriers
In the Middle States, but this j3ay served to
induce realizing In those stocks, Reports of
a working agreement between tho Union Pa-
cine and St. Paul authorities for through busi
ness aia not sav tt. I'aui.rrom being one of

of Northern Securities on thVcurb had a sym
pathetic effect on the whole- market.

WHEAT EASIER AT CHICAGO.
Early. Advance Lost on Heavy Rcal
, Iclnpr.
CHICAGO. Dec. 10. Wheat opened excited
and higher on general bullish statistics, and
everybody seemed to have buying orders, but
the offerings were somewhat restive, and In
consequence there was a sharp advance early
in the day. Cables were higher, due. to re
ports of damage to the Russian crop of wheat
by frost, , and the unsteady weather In Argen
tina. Traders were also Influenced to some ex
tent by the prediction of a cold wave In the
Northwest which. It waa thought, would cause
considerable damage to the growing crop. On
the advance there was heavy realizing, arid
the early gain was lost. December closed a
lower, at 75c May opened C higher, at
7777c. and- sales were made early at 77c.
but a steady decline began. an? the close was
near the low point, final figures being a shade
lower at 7677c.
Com sympathized with wheat early In the
day, and when weakness developed In wheat,
corn followed. Covering by shorts late In the
session brought a rally, and the clc-e waa firm,
with December Jc higher, at 56c. May
waa a shade higher, at 4444c
Oats -were active early, but became dull,
with' a lower tendency. The close wassteady.
with May c lower, at aavic.
Provisions ruled rather quiet and at about
