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:

Reviewing the English salmon market of
1902, Henry W. 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.

A considerable speculative movement devel
oped In prunes today, and several lots were
picked up from weak holders, the market clos
ing firm, with a tendency, upward. 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

SALEM HOP MARKET.
Growers Encouraged hy the Outlook
Increased Consumption of Beer.
SALEM. 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

SURPLUS IN ARGENTINA
WILL HAVE F.IGIITY MILLION BUSH
ELS OF WHEAT FOR EXPORT.
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:

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.
