There Is a steady movement in merchandise
and In Terlshable produce. In groceries the
Fall trade has been about disposed of, so far
as orders are concerned, but a good deal of
shipping is still being done. The fruit and
vegetable markets are fully supplied for the
holiday trade, .and the demand is strong from
both city and country. The poultry market is
unsettled. The feature of this trade is the
expected arrival of a carload of turkeys from
le East. The grain markets have been dull
"during- the week, with few changes. Hops are
very quiet.
WHEAT, FLOUR, ETC. There have been
but few transactions in wheat since the last
report, and the majority of sales have been in
small lots. Most of the wheat in the country
is out of first bands, and the trading going on
now is of a cleanlng-up nature. Sales of club
wheat were at a range of 7172c, and bluestem
sold at about SOc Very few purchases have
been made for millers, most of the wheat taken
going to Australia or South Africa. The de
mand from that direction Is for bluestem
wheat, which accounts for the wide difference
in the values of the two varieties. The ton
nage market is stagnant at the moment. The
grain fleet in port numbers SI vessels of an
aggregate tonnage of 57,351. The en route fleet
.numbers 29 vessels of a total of 61,016 tons.
The local and export demand for flour con
tinues steady. The Portland mills have ad
vanced the price on patents in order to adjust
the differential between that grade and
straights, bringing them Into proper relation
with the rullnr values of club and bluestem
wheat.
The barley market is Arm, but Jin changed.
The crop of barley for the year 1002 has been
a great disappointment in both quality and
quantity. Early in the Fall, the Government
reported a crop of 135,000,000 bushels. The
basis of this estimate was the large Increase
of acreage in all kinds of grain. Since this
report was Issued, however, it has become ap
parent that.crrors were made in computing the
There are no changes in the local quotations
on oats. The oat crop is also not proving. as
large as originally estimated, and should oats
strengthen up materially after the first of Jan
uary, as, they frequently do, low-grade barley
will bo largely depended upon for feeding pur
poses. On the whole, malting barley will be
generally wanted until the supply is exhausted.
According to the latest estimates the crop of
1002 shows a total of 1.028.220.000 bushels.
These figures, eays the Market Record, natural
ly make speculators feel cautious about Invest
ing in futures. It is, however, understood
that there is a larger percentage of unmer
chantable oats than in "any previous year.
Moreover, It is learned "from abroad that the
oats crop of fair quality is much below the
average, and that European countries will have
to import larger quantities than usual, and
that they are now willing to pay top prices for
choice oats for future delivery.
HOPS Hops are dull, and will undoubtedly
continue so for a month to come. The demand
from the brewing interests is expected to ma
terialize some time 'In January. Growers gen
erally look for an advance before Spring. Of
the Eastern situation the Journal of Commerce
of the 10th says:
Despite the reports of dull business which
have been received from the Coast the past
two weeks it was stated that a Cincinnati
firm purchased during this period about 1400
bales prime hops at 25c f. o. b. cars, and It
was also stated that the sales for export dur
ing the past few days amounted to about 400
bales. Reports from up the state reported
business as dulL The principal English export
buyer has withdrawn (for the present at least)
from the market, and 35c is now being quoted,
as an outside figure. It is claimed, however,
that practically all supplies of strletlv chnirn
hops have been marketed. Common grades
were renorted offered at 30c Locally, a slow
market was reported, and revised quotations
show slight reductions.
The Watcrvllle Times of December 1 says of
hops:
The few growers who still have their crops
are holding back and dealers do' not feel like
paying more than the market prices, therefore
there is nothing doing.
Mali advices from London report the imports
of hops from the Continent during September
and October at 53.C0Q hundredweight, and. it is
understood that the imports during November
were also large.
"WOOL The American "Wool and Cotton Re
porter or December II says -of Pacific Coast
wools in the East:
Business has continued light In Oregon wools
These wools being in light supply, prices are
firmly maintained.
For California there has been but little In
quiry, but prices oro firmly sustained. Choice
Northern stock has sold In a small way at 20
lc, and middle county at about 16e. Defec
tive wools continue to be taken In' moderate
amounts at a clean cost of 3033c.
The Reporter .quotes Oregon wool at Eastern
seaboard markets as follows: Eastern staple.
18(5 10c per pound; Eastern Oregon choice cloth
ing. !G17c; do average, 1516c; do heavy,
12fl3c; Valley Oregon No. 1, 2021c; do No. 2.
2021c: do No. 3, 1920c; do lambs, lC17c
COUNTRY PRODUCE Receipts of chickens
have been too large in the past few days for
the cood of the market, and in order to keep
supplies down, quotations .have been shaded.
Not many turkeys came in. and some of yes
terday's receipts sold at better than the estab
lished prices. The feature -of the poultry mar
ket during the day was tho announcement that
a carload of Eastern turkeys is on the way
for the Christmas trade. The birds must sell
at a good price tomake the deal profitable,
but there is no doubt they will find a ready
market, as turkeys in the East are dressed
and packed in the highest style of tho art, and
besides many people here still believe that corn
fed turkeys are the only ones fit to eat.
Oregon eggs have been rather scarce during
the week, and sales have been made up to 33c,
though most houses held for 32J4c Eastern
eggs are plentiful. N
The butter market Is dull and generally weak.
"Fancy brands of creamery sell readily enouch.
but there Is an- excess of second-grade butter
on hand.4 Much of this is supposed to be cream
cry, but its quality is poor. The cause is sup
posed to be too many roots in the cattiafood.
GREEN PRODUCE-Under the stimulating
effect of the near approach of the holidays, a
big bjsslaew has been done ia fruits, especially
is tropical aad' serai-tropical varieties. Oranges
are plentiful. Southern California new suppty
Cac the trade with excellent trait. There are'
also plenty of Japanese oranges on hand, and
they aro sellnlg fairly well at 75c per small
box. Receipts of bananas la carload lots ure
alraosf a daily occurrence.
The market is fully, supplied with seasonable
Oregon vegetables, also plenty of California
stuff, which comes up In very rood condition.
The potato market is very dull, and dealers
quote it weak, with an absence of demand
I from San Francisco.
GROCERIES, MEATS. ETC. The heavier
staples In the grocery line have not changed
in price since the last report. Jobbers are at
a loss to know Just where sugar stands. The
market went up recently, following advances
In New Tork, but the Coast did not respond to
the New Tork decline of two days ago. Rice,
tea, beans and canned goods ar.e Arm at former
prices. Two declines of c each have been
made In Manila rope. New prices for future
delivery of fruit Jars have been announced, and
show quite a decline from the old figures.
Meats. live and dressed, have been active and
firm.. Beef, mutton and lambs are higher.
Good mutton is very scarce. Since last week,
hame and bacon have each declined 4c. Lard
is unchanged.
COFFEE Bickford's coffee circular says:
Advices from numerous sources in Guatemala
as to tho actual, or even approximate, damage
sustained by the recent volcanic eruptions there
are conflicting, and an authoritative estimate
is impossible. Some place it at 400,000 quintals
lost to this crop, while others go variously to
the opposite extreme. Important estates near
the volcano are known to be permanently
ruined. Others, more distant, will occupy a
season or seasons in recuperating. As the dis
tance Increases the damage lessens, and many
who felt themelves ruined at first .will now
partly or largely save their crops. Still others
will lose, not as the direct result of the erup
tion, but by neglect occasioned through the
fleeing of their native laborers and the delay
and difficulty in securing their gradual return.
The area Involved has been pretty generally
well defined, and there Is no doubt that the
aggregate loss will prove severe, but the plant
ers seem unable to more than approximate
their figures. As a rough hazard we would
put the shortage of this croo at 250,000 quin
tals, say 185,000 bftcs.

Attempt to Corner the Option CaHsses
n. Loss of Over Five Point.
CHICAGO, Dec. 17. There was considerable
excitement In the corn pit, due to the action
of December delivery, which suffered a severe
setback, owing to continued heavy liquidation,
with practically no support. As a result of
tho downward plunge In prices, the attempted
corner of the December option, which had
been engineered by a St. Louis clique, went
completely to pieces', Judging from the way the
long corn came out, "with apparently no effort
on the part of the "pool" to support the mar
ket. Large quantities of December corn, it
was said, were sold In the pit "for the account
of whom It may concern," and the supposition
was that those who had been endeavoring to
bull the market had failed to respond to calls
for margins. Liberal receipts and favorable
weather were responsible largely for the anxie
ty of loners to dispose of their holdings. De
cember opened Ulc lower, at 5252c, and
declined gradually, with now and then a slight
rally, until 47c was touched. A little better
support developed at the bottom, but the close
was 5c lower, at 47c May was dull and
featureless, but held firm, closing a shade
higher, at 43Hc.
Wheat ruled dull and weak, the favorable.
weather throughout the Northwest causing
longs to unload freely, and this, together with
selling on short account, was the main factor
In bringing out the easier feeling. The sharp
break In December com affected wheat, as aid
also the foreign news, which was a trifle bear
ish, the large stocks reported at Russian ports
being taken as an Indication that the Govern
ment yield In that country was entirely cor
rect. There was a little better demand toward
the close, which was about steady. May being
a shade higher, at 7714c December closed c
lower, at 74c
Oats were dull. May closed c. lower, at
32?ic.
Provisions were extremely dull and were
weak. January Dork closed 10c lower, lard a
shade lower, and ribs were off 2fec. '

WARNING FROM BANKERS
ANOTHER SELLING MOVEMENT
CARRIES DOWN THE STOCIC LIST.
Object Is to Dlsconrase Indulgence
In Speculation Tunnel Franchise '
Passage Helps Pennsylvania.
NEW YORK. Dec IT. The movement- of
prices In today's stock market' was an almost
exact repetition of that of yesterday. Tnere
was the same broadening show of strength up
to the last hour, when a selling movement de
veloped; which wiped out practically all ot the
earlier gains and jcarrled some pnce3 Deiow
last night- The reaction today was rather
more- gradual, and not quite so severe as yes
terday, and was .followed by a. steadier tone
Just before the close. There is no reason to
doubt that the late selling movement today
caine from tho same sources, arid with the
same objects as that of yesterday, that is to
say. from sources in touch with the bankers
money pool, anil with the object of discouraging
any indulgence In speculation. The sharpness
and suddenness of last .night's decline led to
tho supposition la some 'quarters that It was
due to some coming bad .news regarding the
Venezuelan situation. Today's decline had uo
such suspicions to account for It.
The early strength In the market was due in
no small part to the falluro of yesterday's sin
ister rumors to materialize. The facts devel
oped overnight regarding the Venezuelan situa
tion, although containing some unfavorable
features, were so much less threatening than
had been feared, that speculative 'sentiment
showed encouragement, and a disposition to
buy stocks was manifested on that score. A
number of special Influences also helped the
show of strength. The passage of the Penn
sylvania tunnel franchise by tho New York
Board of Aldermen helped the stock of that
company and its subsidiary companies. Stocks
of other companies with terminals on the New
Jersey shore of the Hudson were also affected.
Sugar continued to reflect the hope of bene
fiting from the Cuban reciprocity treaty, but
the leaders of the speculative advance were
clocks ln which powerful pools are known to
exist. There were rumors current that sqme
members of these pools had ventured to go
short of the stocks Involved during the recent
decline, and were now liable to be called on
for their share of the pool noldlngs, wnicn naa
figured In loans of stock or clandestine short
sales.
The money market continued to show tho
sentimental effect on the formation of the
bankers $50,000,000 protective pool. The Sub-
.treasury drain upon the market Is greatly re
laxed, owing to heavy pension payments and
the practical cessation of deposits for transfer
to the Interior.
Bonds were Irregular In sympathy with
stocks. Total sales, par., value, $2,070,000.
United States bonds were ail unchanged on the
last call.
