Newspaper Page TextTHE MORNIXG' OREGONIAN, MONDAY, 'JANUAET 5, 1903. 13 PRODUCE 18 ACTIVE! Business Beginning to Revive After the Holidays. STOCK-TAKING BY THE JOBBERS Movement of Hops nt the Eastern Seaboard Review of tlie Euk11m1i Salmon Market Mexico Re duces the Duty on Wheat. Though trade wms intorrupted by' a holiday, business was fairly active during the week In the produce markets. Receipts were not heavy, and everything came ,n cleaned up promptly at Rood prices. The midweek steamer brought up less garden truck than usual, which helped to steady the market. A car ar rived from Southern California last night, with celery, cauliflower and cabbage. As the sea son advances, sweot potatoes are expected to go higher. The poultry market Is In good condition, stocks cleaning up well yesterday afternoon at unchanged prices. Large receipts of Jackrab t!ts do not Interfere with the sale of fowls. Eggs are plentiful, and arc not bo steadily maintained, though some dealers still ask 35c, for fresh Oreson. There Is no change In but ter, which Is In sufficient supply. Grocery. Jobbers report a quiet week. No changes took place In staple lines and In mer chandise a decline of c In slsal rope was the enly alteration in the list. All the large houses have been busy at etock-taklng, but they ex pect the Spring demand to open very soon. The tea markets continue firm, although busi ness at present Is unusually quiet. January deliveries will bo facilitated ny the recent Treasury ruling, allowing tea-houses to have their bonded goods in their own storerooms ready for the date of shipment. January deliv eries aro consequently expected to be heavy. The, coffee market is dull and unchanged. There is a good demand in the rice market, and prices are quoted generally strong. There Is less disposition to trade In domestic grades than in Imported, but both are held firm. Salt, starch and parafllne goods are weak. Canned goods, codfish and linseed oil are firm. Hops have ruled slow, though with more dis position to do business on the part of buyers. Hops still In first hands are hold as firmly as ever. The New York Journal of Commerce reports that the exports and Imports at the port of New Tork for the week ending Decem ber 26 compare as follows: Exports Imports Domestic to from receipts.

Peabody & Co. state that at the opening of the year the unprecedented pack of salmon of the year 1901 was, to a large extent, unmarketed, and there was con siderable doubt In this market as to the possi bility of the British Columbia packers being able to hold so large a quantity for sale at rcasonablo prices. The dealers had suffered heavily on account of their purchases of 1000 pack at inflated prices, and were in no mood to make purchases except for their actual day-to-day requirements. The situation was. how ever, much assisted by the fact that spot - efpsl .hejd In England ,wore yerx small; the stock In Liverpool public warehouses was, Feb ruary 28. 1002 114,003 cases, the smallest stock since 1893. There -would also be some stock of salmon In private warehouses In Liverpool, but this would only be a small quantity. In Lon don there is no official record of the stocks, but they were certainly light, and probably not more than half of the Liverpool holdings. The wheat market has not fully recovered from the holiday suspension, and trading Is yet light- Shippers say that values have a weaker tone in response to the falling off abroad. Quotations, however, ore unchanged. Mexican Duty on "Whent Reduced. Under date of December C, 1002, Vice-Consul J. G. Pages reports from "Vera Cruz: By an executive decree of the Mexican Gov ernment, dated November 7, 1902, the Import duty on wheat has been reduced from $5 to 50c per 100 kilograms (220.40 pounds). This decree went Into effect November 15. 1902. and Is to remain In force until March 31, 1903. The ob ject of this measure is to relieve the present Bcarclty of wheat. The Mexican dollar was valued, by the Di rector of the United States M'lnt, October 1. 1002. at 41.7c gold. Qnlnlne Auction nt Batavla. Consul B. S. Ralrden sends the following from Batavla, November 3. 1902: Since August 5, no quinine sales have been made by public auction? The sale Is now "made by public tenders given to the firm of Tlcde man & Van Kerchem, agents for the Bandong quinine factory. October 30, some CCOO.fl kilo grams of quinine were sold by tenders, and the average price was 10.50 florins i$6 03) per kilo gram, equal to the unit price ofO.OO florin (2.4c) for the bark at the Amsterdam market. the outside estimates. At a similar rate of In crease, the consumption of bees for the next fiscal year will amount to 48.000.000 barrels, and the crop of 1902 hops will be used largely In the manufacture of this beer. The statis tical outlook Is, therefore, very favorable jto the owners of hops, though the dealers who arc short still assert that thero Is no reason why the price should advance above the present figures. Lee Loy, of Fairfield, sold 301 bales of hops today to Catlin & Linn, at a fraction better than 23c The hops were grown on tho Eld rldge farm. XEW YORK HOP MARKET. Trading Still Quiet, hut a Steady Undertone Noted. NEW TORK, Jan. 3. (Special.) The hop market closed culet. but a steady undertone was noted, holders feeling confident. Foreign cables report.no changes.

Stocks aro now largely controlled by a few holders. A report, not denied, is current and generally credited that Pacific Coast Interests are behind the movement, working through local brokers. The concerns mentioned are R. W. Hersey and the Phoenix Packlnrr Company. Lots picked up are said t aggregate 18 carloads, and tho pric-s paid from under spot, Nerotla- tlons are pending looking to further purchases, but small holders show less desire to sell. Spot closed firm at 7c for 40-50s, 6c for 50-COs. 5Vic for 00-70?, 4c for 70-SOs, 4c for S0-90st and 314c for 90-1 00s, in 25-pound boxes for Santa Claras. Some lots In transit were "picked up at the equivalent of spot. Receipts loday numbered 20,000 boxes, all descriptions, of which ip,000 boxes go for outside markets. There were also 25.000 boxes for export. Oregon prunes closed firm, with Jobbing sales at 7c on 30-4 0s. Gc on 40-503 and 5c on 50-COs In 25-pound boxes. Lima beans closed weak at $4 02 bufehel.

Jan. 3. (Special.) Salem, hopdeal ers report a little activity in hops In the last week, but not enough to make any difference In the price. Sales have taken place at 2414 25c, the latter for choice goods. The growers continue to hold firmly, with no indication of an Intention to let go until the price advances. It is estimated that there now remains In the bands of tho growers some 10.000 to 12,000 bales of 1902 hops. Whether there will be an advance In the price soon, or even a more active market. Is a question upon which opinions differ. Some do not look for much buying before the first of April, basing this opinion upon the fact that brewers have supplies for their present needs, They are buying from hand to mouth, It Is Bald, and as their needs for this season of tho year aro not great, they will not begin to buy actively before Spring. Others expect an ad vance and quite a good deal of activity about the middle of this month, when contracts : January shipment will be filled. The advance of 30 marks In the price of German hops dur Ing Jhc month of December, during which time the American market was at a standstill. Is cited as an Indication that an advance may be expected In this country. It Is said that German dealers have sold short, and that thero Is now an attempt to buy back some of the hops sold for shipment to England." which movement accounts for the advance In I the price of German hops. According to the la6t Issue of the Waterville Times, the United States customs reports show Importations of only 0500 bales of German hops to this country, whereas it was predicted that 20,000 bales would be brought here from that country. Tho Importing season Is now about over, and the importations are but little heav ler than usual. This fact is also cited as mak ing a favorable showing for the future of American hops this season. Internal revenue figures for the fiscal year also show that the manufacture of beer for the fiscal year amount ed to 40,478.000 barrels, which Is an Increase of 4,000,000 barrels, or nearly 10 per cent over last year. These figures, coming after a pre diction that the cold Summer and the strlko would result In a decreased consumption of beer, encourages the holders of hops to believe that the demand for hops will at least equal common, each, 1013c: Anrora. with wool on, each, 25cj??l.

News Serve to Bear Down Prices at Chicago Covering Iy Snorts Pre vents a Severe llrealc. CHICAGO, Jan. 3. The chief factor affecting the wheat pit was the extremely bearish Ar gentine advices, Broomhall reporting that the exportable surplus of wheat from that country would approximate SO.000.000 bushels. Liver pool cables were also lower, due partly to the liberal offerings of Argentine wheat In that market, and contributed to the general depres sion. In consequence of these statistics, there was considerable realizing, but covering by shorts gave a fair support to the market, and prevented a severe break. May opened U2c lower, at 75275ViC and sold down to H'.ic soon after the opening, but advanced later to 3Hc. only to react during the last half-hour, the close being KCySc lower, at 7575t4c. Corn was rather quiet, but prices held fairly steady. May closed unchanged to Uc lower, at 42ie42!Sc. Oats were Arm k on bad weather. May closed a shade higher, at 33ft33c. There was considerable realizing in provi sions, which resulted in a lower tendency to prices. An unexpected Increase In the contract stocks for the month was the main bear factor. May pork closed 25c lower, lard was off 10 12Uc, and ribs were down 5g7c The leading futures ranged as follows: WHEAT. Opening. -Highest. Lowest Closing. January May ... July ... January May ...

Winter Whent Dolnpr Well. WASHINGTON, Jan. 3. The Weather Bu reau's monthly summary of crop conditions Is as follows: In the principal "Winter-wheat states the month averaged cold, with more than tho usual amount of precipitation. The temperature con ditions were, however, not unfavorable to "Win ter wheat until the last decade, when the states of the upper Mississippi and Missouri Valleys experienced temperatures ranging from zero to 28 degrees below. During this period tho Ohio Valley states were generally well protect ed with snow covering, but In the Central Mis sissippi and Lower Missouri Valleys the crop was exposed. Only slight damage, however. seems to h&ve rcsultedrand at the close of the month the crop appears to be very promising. Complaint of injury by fly are not extensive, and aro largely confined to the Ohio Valley.
