VEGETABLES ON ICE
New 'Departure in the Prod
uce Jobbing Trade,
PROMISE OFHOLIDAY BUSINESS
Indication of Higli Prices for Tnr-
Iceyji Apple Market Dull,
Wltli an Overaupplj'
v on Hand.
This year's holiday trade on Front street
.promises to surpass that o last year. In the
grocery line the bulk of the business has been
done already. In produce, the country trade
has been supplied, but the city trade will not
open up much' before Monday. The jobbera
have made full preparations for the business.
All kinds of fruit and vegetables that could be
secured are on hand. Citrus fruits will play
an important part In the trade, and every
Front-street house has a plentiful supply. Late
arrivals of oranges are first-class, and are
yaoted at $2 753 25 for navels, and $1 75
2 00 for seedlings. Bananas arrive frequently,
and there is always a sufficient supply of pine
npples on hand.
Such vegetables as cannot be raised In Ore
gon at this time of year are brought up from
California. Perishable produce comes through
Iced and is received In perfect condition. This
Is a new departure in this business, and prom
ises to revolutionize the shipping trade. The
vegetables are packed In wooden coffee bins,
with two cakes of Ice in each bin, one near
either end. Peas, beans and lettuce are
brought up this way. and later in the season
other varieties similarly packed will be re
ceived. These iced vegetables are shipped by
express from Los Angeles to San Francisco,
and there placed aboard the Portland steamer.
This will be the last week of cheap sweet
potatoes. The field supply has been nearly ex
hausted, and next week there will be an ad
vance of from 2f! to 40r nnr 100,
The apple market is slow, with an excessive
supply of all Tcinds on hand. The bulk of re
ceipts are of Inferior stock, for which there Is
no local demand. Choice apples .sell fairly
well, and there Is a' shipping inquiry for a
limited quantity of the best fruit. This year's
output in Oregon far exceeded any possible de
mand that could arise for apples.
The Indications are that turkeys will be high
this- Christmas. So far very few have been
received, and some of these sold as high as 20c
"Whether the Eupply In the country is large
enough for the demand Is a question. Some
dealers believe receipts will fall short. The
car of Eastern turkeys, mentioned yesterday as
on the way to Portland, comes to a large re
tailer, and the shipment will not interfere with
Front-street commission business. Farmers
ana otners wno nave turkeys for the local
Christmas market are urged not to hold them
back until the last minute. .There is a gol
demand for ducks and geese. Chickens arc in
heavy supply, and are hard to sell at quota
tions. LOXDOHi "WANTS HOPS.

those markets firmer at yesterday's advance.
The prune supply was Increased .today by the
arrival of 27,000 boxes. A large percentage of
the rcrsjpts go forward to interior buyers. A
continued strong tone Is n6ted here, holders
showing no disposition to sell. In round lots.
Several lots aggregating 1000 boxes of 40-60s
were picked up on an export order at 6Hc
A stroncr feellnir prevails in 70-SOs nnd 00-100-
The Coast wires that these sizes are more dif
ficult to obtain. Bids on 40-50s and 50-60s
wired out late yesterday brought unfavorable
responses from packers. The impression Is
strong in all quarters here that the Coast sun-
ply Is closely controlled by speculators, and
in consequence jobbers will sejl only in small
lots. The demand for Oregon prunes is active.
A few lots of 3d-40s and 40-50s were moved
today for export accoount at 7Uc for the first
and Ckc for the latter. In 25-pound boxes.

WALL STREET DEPRESSED
BY THE STRAINED SITUATION IN
VENEZUELA.
Stock Market Held Back From Nat
ural Recovery Due to Follow Ac
tion Taken by Bankers' Pool.
NEW YORK, Dec. 18. Measured by today's
advance In prices, the strained situation In
Venezuela has been the cause of much more
uneasiness than was suspected in "Wall street.
The depressing effect of this Influence ha3
served to hold back the market from the nat
ural recovery which was due, after the action
taken by the bankers' . pool on Monday to In
sure the money market from any violent crisis.
The fear of such a crisis has been the pre
ponderating Influence In the long decline of
stocks, and the practical assurance of protec
tion from it would have caused a violent re
covery In the natural course of things. The
fear of a complication with the powers con
cerned In the Venezuelan demonstration seems
to have been the factor In deferring the re
covery. When oprators came down to their
offices this morning after reading In the morn
ing papers the newfi that the Venezuelan Pres
ident had practically abandoned opposition to
the demands of Great Britain and Germany,
they were quick to Jump to the conclusion that
all danger of complication was thereby re
moved. There was an upward Jump in prices
at the start, and the market showed a con
stantly broadening tendency till past midday.
The demand after that showed some signs of
satisfaction, bu. In the last half-hour there
was a revival In animation and a final rush of
prices to the top level of the dajv with a
strong closing.
Sentiment regarding the money outlook has
steadily grown more confident. The moral
effect of the formation of the bankers' pool
has been supplemented by actual favorable de
velopments. The banks have been relieved
from much of the Subtreasury drain, which has
been sapping their resources for several weeks.
Sterling exchange here continues heavy, and
advanced at Paris, so that no immediate ap
prehension Is felt of gold exports. An in
creased interior movement of grain and heavier
receipts of cotton were encouraging factors.
Pool operations were reported to be responsible
for the activity and strength of some of the
market leaders, and there Is reason to suppose
that a very large short Interest was covered
today. St. Paul, Southern Pacific, Missouri
Pacific and the United States Steel stocks were
conspicuous features of the speculation, but
there was a long list of securities In which
gains ranged from 2 to 3 points.
The bond market was active and strong in
sympathy with stocks. Total sales, $3,390,000.
United States bonds were all unchanged on the
last call.

SENDS RICH SPECIMENS.
E. II. Cowles Presents Permanent Ex
hibit "With Mineral Collections.
E. H. Cowles, a mining man "whoae home
is at Woodburn; but who is Interested In
the Sweet Grass &. Park Mining Com
pany, whose mines and mlli3 are situated
11,000 feet above sea level in a position
commanding a view of thfe Yellowstone
Park, is In the city. He read In The
Oregonlan about the permanent exhibit
which is to be put on display at the union
depot here, and says he would like Port
land to have the best colleotion of mineral
specimens on the Coast. He therefore put
up a box of specimena and sent them to
F. V. Drake for the exhibit at the depot,
and says he wjll send a lot more.
Mr. Cowles says Oregon dealers are
making their way into the district where
he Is mining, and that all the trade of
that section will eventually come here.
He was displaying yesterday some very
handsome specimens of white iron, or cube
iron ore, from his mine, which yields gold
at the rate of from $10 to $120 per ton.
He also had a brick of gold extracted from
this ore of a fitting size to carry in one'p
pocket, but as he was not offering it for
sale no one suspected him of any evil in
tentions. He says the mineral wealth of
the country where he Is mining cannot be
estimated, and he will doubtless supply
valuable specimens for the permanent ex
hibit i

GENERAL NEWS IN THE CHICAGO
WHEAT PIT WAS BEARISH.

Holdings Unsettled Conditions

CHICAGO, Dec. IS. Wheat ruled Irregular
and quite nervous, and trading throughout the
day was very light, which fact was one of the
main reasons for the lower prices late In 'the
session, although outside tho strength In ca
bles, the news In general vas bearlin. Iocal
longs were disposed to realise on their holdings,
and, with no support from the outside, the
market sagged gradually to a weak close.
May opened c higher, at 7777c. and
was firm tho early part of the day, selling up
to 77&77c. General selling prevailed toward
the end of tho session, but prices dropped to
ri .' vl.lHM F. T X' Init.n. n t Till ' TP.S.o T"Vl 1
cember closed lo lower, at 73c, after ranging
between 72c and 74c.
Unsettled conditions prevailed In the corn pit
following the collapse of the December "pork
blind pool." There was further liquidation of
December by the pool interests, and this tend
ed to dispel all doubt that the deal had been
abaandoned, although the St, Louis people were
reported as having said that the operations
would go on as if nothing had happened. De
cember closed lc lower; at 4C7sC "May held
firm until the close, final figures being off
HHc, at 4343c.
Oats were dull and featureless. May closed
