THE MORNTNGr OKEGONIAN, skTyRDA"I f)ECEMBEK 27, 19021 15 WANT MORE WHEAT Resumption in. Australian De mand Is Expected. 1 WILL DRAW OH PACIFIC COAST Requirements "Will Approximate t Million Quartern Argentine Grow ers Slow to Contract Rasxiaa. Reports Unsatisfactory. MINNEAPOLIS. Minn.. Dec 20. (Special.) The Commercial "West's London wheat letter says: Some reports from St. Petersburg are that the Russian winter wheat is unsatisfactory, but as regards the Argentine, It Is singular that reports are unanimously favorable, and we have been unable to trace, either through public or private channels, a single adverse comment. It Is quite true, however, that sellers have not shown much inclination to contract ahead, which Is all the more strange, as harvest by this time must be well ad vanced and In the early districts secured. Wo can only assume that shippers, after a somewhat unfortunate experience in recent years, have determined to wait until they can handle the stuff at 'the seaboard and do busi ness on a strictly legitimate basis of supply and demand, with a reasonable margin of profit. There is no fresh news from Australia be yond the fact that good general Tains have fallen, of considerable neneflt to pastures. The demand for that destination has ceased for the present, but we look for a resump tion shortly and In the meantime It is gen erally supposed that their requirements of for eign wheat will approximate 1,000,000 quar ters, the bulk of which will be supplied from the North Pacific Coast. We look for a continued good trade In wheat and think we shall see higher prices eventual ly, although there has recently been a fair advance. We are sure to have occasional setbacks, but we feel disposed to continue our advice to buy on all depressions. BREWERS HOLD OFF. Jio Change In Jiew York Hop Market Oregon Prunes Steady. NEW YORK, Dec 20. (Bpeclal.) The mar ket ruled dull for hops with small trading be tween dealers. Brewers still hold off. For eign cables note no chances. Prunes claim moderate attention. Several fair-sized lots of 40-G0s were picked up from brokers by export Interest at 6c for the three sizes. There continues a little easiness In 70-SOs and SO-OOs and In the absence of Im portant buying on these sizes, the market Is slow. On a firm offer, 4c would buy several lots of 70-SOs. A Coast wire today reDorts the sale of three carloads of 40-50s for Janu ary shipment at Cc. f. o. b. In 25-pound boxes. Negptlatlons are In progress here looking to the sale of several lots of 40-60a now In transit from thp Coast for export to Hamburg. The export demand. It Is believed, will sustain the market for the present dull period. Oregon prunes are steady with 7io quoted on 30-i0s. Salmon Is dull. Beans are quiet and easy. PORTLAND MARKETS.

BUOYANTTONE JN STOCKS TRADERS SURPRISED BY THE ACT IVITY OF THE MARKET. Upward Movement That Affected Nearlir. the Entire LIstGrouHds tor the Animation. NEW YORK, Dec 26. The activity and the buoyant tone developed In the stock mar ket today came as something of a surprise. The market Btarted off In as dull- and dismal a manner as possible: It was taken as a mat ter of course that the remnant of the week left after the Christmas holiday would be Idly spent, as many -brokers left town on Wednes day to ba cone until Monday. The tightness of the money market was looked to' as an ad- j dltlonal factor to repress speculation, and this u-oii .hilo Anrltr In th rtflV at Which tlm& the call loan rate rose to 12 per cent, with loans reported at 15 per cent. Later In the dav it developed that lenders were oversuppllcd and were left with consid erable funds on their hands as a result of holding out for higher rates. The grounds for the animation, in the stock market were not entirely plain. The early stages of the movement were congested In a few stocks, and the principal buying In these was by brokers often employed by lajge and well-known speculative Interests, Including the Bo-called Western contingent. This was not ably true In the buying of Erie, which was continued up to the close of the market, sus taining the general list by sympathy. The ground of .the buying was not stated, but claims were circulated of "large earnings In prospect. Rumors persisted of a "melon-cutting" for Great Northern; a Montana Judicial decision In a copper case gave rise, to the usual claims of agreement by both contending factions, and 8t- Paul's rise was accompanied by renewed claims that early action was to be taken on the r.ew stock authorized. St. Paul ran off sharply at the close, when the direc tors had adjourned their regular monthly meet ing without action. The upward movement became too general, however, to be attributed to a merely sympa thetic effect from the strength of Individual stocks. Low-priced stocks came Into special favor, and many of them were taken up suc cessively and advanced sharply. The announce ment that President Roosevelt bad decided not to undertake the arbitration of the Venezuelan dispute had a reassuring effect, as It was felt to eliminate some risks of complications. There was undoubtedly a general confidence, also, that the danger of serious trouble In the money market between now and January 1 Is practically past, owing to the. assurance against emergency provided by the bankers' $50,000, 000 pool. The market closed firm and active. There was some investment demand for bonds. Total sales, $2,200,000. United States new 2s and the 4s advanced 14 and the 3s coupon V4 on the last call. Call money was lnvery active demand to day. The ruling rate was 12 per cent, at which level some very large loans were made. Most of the demand was due to the readjust ment which Is usually made on a holiday, es pecially If the next business day happens to fall on a Friday. The banks very generally marked up their loans today, and although one or two minor transactions were reported In time money, moot of the bank supply was In vested In call loans.

Owing to thtre being no cables, the opening was easy, with Td&y a shade to Uc lower at 777714c. Strong markets at St. Louis and a fair export demand helped to maintain a firm tone, although crop Journals were bearish and Argentine advices were more .encouraging. May sold up to 779s7714c There was a little decline toward the clone, and final figures were a shade higher at 7711c The only feature In the corn trade was an advance of 2 cents In the December option. caused by the anxiety of some belated shorts to get to cover, but as soon as their wants were supplied the market dronocd hack tn about Its former position.

GREAT HOLIDAY TRADE EXCEEDED IN MOST RESPECTS ALL PREVIOUS RECORDS. Fittlns Close of a Year of Almost Unprecedented Business and In .dnstrial Activity. NEW YORK. Dec. 20. Bradstreefs tomor row will say: Satisfaction with the old and confidence In the new year are the domlnatlns features as 1902 draws to a close. The enormous holiday trade, exceeding In most respects all records, proved ts be a fitting crown to a year of al most uniirecedented business and Industrial ac tivity. Kxcept in some sections of tne souki and Southwest, where crop and weather con ditions had led to a modification oi omersvise sanguine expectal.ons. tho volume of season able business Is In most respects sausiaciorj . In the East, the West, the Northwest and on the Pacific Coast, there Is but one note, and that of satisfaction with the results achieved during the past few weeks. Additional reports received of- trade distribution for the year confirm those hitherto given of an enormous olumo of business, modified, it Is true. In some respects, by higher cost of materials ana wases nmiung proms. im .u..o- turn-over, however, and the active demand In most .lines, the profit side has not Deen en tirely lost sight cf, and it is sare 10 say mai equally satisfactory returns In years to comu would prove acceptable. Report of results In banklntr crcles are' to the effect that good profits fcavfc been gained as a result of cotn f.arat'vely high and at the same time steady rtcij for tiioni-.y. The holiday spirit has ruled In wholesale lines this week. Most of the salesmen are in from the road, and, except for reorders to re pair depleted stocks. Jobbers are quiet, and stock-taking is the main Interest. The Indus trial operations have naturally siowea aown. except wl'ere conditions, as In railway traffic, are such as to demand the straining of every nerve '.o keep up with business offered to pre vent a midwinter congestion, which, in tho present situation of small supplies of fuel the country ever, might result In serious derange ments. Not only are Spring goods being or dered with fieedom and confidence, but prompt delivery of Thu same Is being urged.- Raw wool Is very strong, ana rattier mora Interest Is noted In low grades at leading cen ters this vteek. Auslrallaii advices are very bad, because of the cliouth, and a great short age In tui prodvc'op of wool Is expected In that court y. The lumber 'trad situation, that for whit pine and 1 ard wood particularly, Is satisfac tory. , Wheat, Including flour, exports for tho week ending December 24 aggregate 3,500.480 bush els, against 3,250.037 bushels last week, 4,201, 513 this week last year, and 3,858,103 In 1900. Wheat exports since July 1 aggregate 127,324.019 bushels, against 144.027.750 bushels last season and 03.999,518 In 1900. Corn ex ports aggregato 1,302.331 bushels, against 1,520,143 last week. 424,330 last year, and 4.001.1C3 in 1000.

Class of Worlc That ' Conld Not Be Completed in Specified Time. NEW YORK. Dec. 20. R. G. Dun & Co.'s review of trade tomorrow will say: Trade and speculation experienced the cus tomary holiday aulet, cxceDt In Christmas goods, which sold freely, many packing and shlpplns departments beta's still engaged on this class of work, which could not be com pleted at- the specified time. Industrial under takings are Interrupted In many cases by the taklnu of Inventories, while other plants are closed because fuel cannot be obtained. Orders still come forward freely, and the new year will oncn with more business on the books thaa ever before. Prices of commodi ties aro firmly held by tho steady domestic demand, and there Is a good export move ment of the leading staples. In this, as In many other Instances, however, there Is still tho drawback of inadequate transportation fa cilities, which restrict shipments to the sea board. Financial conditions are satisfactory. Railway earnings thus far this month surpass last year by 5 per cent, and those of 1900 by 11.0 per cent. Quiet conditions In the iron and steel in dustries, unaccompanied by any sign of weak ness, testify to the healthy tone and suggest a brlcht outlook for the coming year. Fur- i nn(1 miii. win --rtpnd tho season of ( idienes3 beyond the usual time, not because orders are lacking, but in order to accumulate a moderate supply of coke. Foreign pig Iron Is offered slightly below domestic quotations, but neither Imported nor home-made Iron Is avallable for Immediate use In large quantl- ties. Independent steel mills claim they are unabfe to pay present prices for billets, which cost 31 or mere for early shipment. An unexpectedly favorable feature has ap peared In the market for cotton goods. After a long season of "stagnation in the export dl vision, the demand for China suddenly be came considerable, notwithstanding the do presslon.ln sliver and liberal stocks of cottons In Shanghai. In woolen goods there Is a good demand, overcoatings providing the chief fea ture.
