Portland market, under the Influence of a good
demand from Australia and South Africa, has

inly four remain without engagement. The en
xoute fleet numbers 21 vessels of 3C.3S4 tons.
The situation in foreign wheat markets Is
thus summarized by J. W. Rush, ot London:
The wheat markets in Europe during the last
week have been largely of a holiday character,
i but a firm tono bUH prevails, especially in Eng
land, where the stocks are so moderate and
the Quantity afloat so relatively small that
I buyers begin to fear the Winter supplies will
not be so easily forthcoming as had been ex-
j pected, especially as America shows no signs ot
pressing her wheat upon Europe, notwithstand
ing the imminence of big shipments from Ar
gentina in February and later months. The
latest cable reports from that country state
that the weather had become very favorable
for the harvest, and that there is little doubt
that the yield will be a record one, giving a
! surplus for export of probably 2,500,000 tons.
Stocks of wheat and flour in the united
I .Kingdom, porjs plosc the year, as 1 suggested
last week, at the moderate total of 2.100,000
I quarters, though our Imports In the last year
have been the largest on record, viz., 19,000,000
quarters of wheat, and 0,350,000 quarters in the
shape of flour, thus making a total of 25,350,000
quarters, against 23,580,000 last year, and 22.
i 87S.O00 In 1000. The previous largest Import
"was in 1805, viz., 10,075,000 quarters, and
5,000,000 quarters in flour, forming a total of
1 25,035.000 quarters. Notwithstanding these
very large imports our port stocks amount to
only 2,100,000. against 2,25.0,000 quarters last
year and 2,450.000 in 1900.
In London the stock of wheat exceeds 75,000
quarters, and that of flour Just under 240,000
I eacks, which compares with previous years as
follows:

It is probably only in Russian ports that
there Is any particular accumulation of wheat
stocks; the present aggrcgato stock in these
ports is 2.250,000 quarters, against 1,400,000
last year, and 1.CO0.OOO in 1000.
"With regard to the world's visible supply on
December 31. my estimate is that it will be
comparatively moderate and smaller than In
any recent year with the exception of 1S8S and
1897. The comparison for the last 10 years is
as follows:

The ordinary observer will probably deduce
i,rom this showing that wheat at its present
level is tolerably safe, for the present at any
rate, and with this I am Inclined to agree.
Broomhall estimates the Australian wheat
crop roundly at 16,000,000 bushels, compared
with 48.000,000 bushels last year.
Prospects for the Winter wheat? crop in Rus
Ela are considercd'hy Russian authorities worse
than they have been for the last 10 years. Tho
Minister of the Interior has urged the local
authorities to supplement the reserves of grain
at their disposal by drawing on the harvest of
the present year. These extreme reports, how
ever, are given about as much credence as the
report of the last crop which was officially
estimated at something over 486,000,000 bush
els.
Official reports place the 1902 Ontario wheat
crop at 26,903,658 bushels, and that of Manitoba
at 24,749,097 bushels.
FLOUR The flour market has followed the
advance In wheat, and all quotations are high
er this week. Valley grades are up 20c. hard-
wheat patents 25c. straights 15c and Graham
15c In the past week a large Increase in tho
demand has sprung up from Australia, South
Africa and the Orient. Orders received from
the latter quarter will carry shipments well
Into April. No new business has been worked
for the united Kingdom. A two-thirds flour
cargo will soon be dispatched from here to Liv
erpool: Mill feed shares with flour in the ad
vance.
HOPS Brewers have entered the hop market
In earnest, and nearly all dealers have orders
from the East. Prices have moved upward un
1 27c has been reached, a few sales havlmr
jbeen made at that figure. The natural result
of this condition ofthlngs has been .to strength
en tho views of such growers as are fortunate
enough to have any hops left, and purchases
are not readily made, even at the top mark.
Ct is difficult to ascertain the exact quantity of
bops left in first hands, but estimates run
from .9000 to 12,000 bales,
The News York Journal of Commerce of the
16th said:
Attention was called to the fact that for the
last three or four weeks the net receipts of
bops at New York have been small, as most of
the supplies received have been for export or
forward shipment. The indications are that the
total receipts 01 nops-at ivew iork during Jan
jpary 'will be the smallest in many years for
the same penoa. 11 was siaiea mat some Im
porters who had contracts to deliver German
hops to brewers were buying in the contracts
a considerable advance over the prices at
hich they were made. Decidedly strong ad-
ices were received from the Coast, the reports
ting that every sond hop In Oregon had
been token at 26c, that 26c was freely bid, and
that there were rumors that as high as 2G&c
was paid.
"WOOL Of Oregon wools In the Eastern mar
kets, the American Wool and Cotton Reporter
of January 15 says:
In Oregon wools there has been nothing do
ing. The few lots which remain hero are held
firm, however, at unchanged prices. The best
staple wools are held at 18619c in the grease,
and average East Oregon at about 10c No. 1
and No. 2 Valley are held at 20g21c
California wools also are quiet, but they are
vprv firm, and what: little business has been
put through has been at practically the same.
prices as those previously given. The inquiry,
such as If. is. extends from choice Northern
stock down to defective, the former bringing
about 55c, clean, for the best, and the latter
about a third of a dollar. Some interest Is
shown in Fall wools, which have sold at 43
45c Stocks arc depleted, and the trade will
enter upon the new season, with supplies very
small.
The Reporter quotes Oregon wools at Eastern
seaboard markets as follows: Eastern staple,
IS 10c per pound; Eastern Oregon clothing.
1017c; do average, 15lCc: do heavy. 12$13c:
Valley Oregon. No. 1, 2021c; do No. 2, 20g21c;
do No. 3. 19g20c; do lambs, lC17c
COUNTRY PRODUCE The growing scarcity
of buttor caused an advance of 2&c in creamery
grades. At the new price the market continues
firm, but is not expected to go higher, as that
would 4nvlte shipments from California. As it
Is, some butter Is arriving from the southern
state, though in small quantities.
Poultry receipts have been lighter than usual.
All that has come in has been taken at prices
slightly higher than a week ago.
The egg market Is about the only one that
records a decline. Receipts have been increas
ing all week until yesterday, when nearly 200
cases were unloaded on Front street. Fresh
ranch eggs are quotablo at 2Sff30c Eastern
are in diminishing supply, and are worth about
23ff25c
FRUIT AND VEGETABLES The condition
of the apple market improves as the season
advances. Prices are no better than they were
during the holidays, but the market has a
steadier tone, and local stocks are not so heavy.
Oranges and lemons are in full supply, and the
former are quoted. Bananas and other im
ported fruit are unchanged.
Receipts ot heavy vegetables from Southern
California continue regular, about three car
loads arriving each week. They are mainly
celery, cabbage and cauliflower. Smaller vege
tables are received in lesser quantity by steam
er. Potatoes are firm and higher, with an im
proved demand from California, owing princi
pally to the fact that supplies fom Washington
have ben shut off by reason of the floods up
there.
GROCERIES. MEATS, ETC. There have
been no changes In staple groceries since the
last. The leading articles may be quoted firm.
All Jobbers report a good business.
Live and dressed meats rule as they did a
week ago, with the volume of business not so
heavy as the trade would wish. Provisions are.
unchanged.
HOVS CLOSE FIRM.
Alaska Puckers' Cut In Salmon Is
Belli;? Met Will Uednce Output.
NEW YORK, Jan. 21. (Special.) Hops
closed firm. A limited amount of business Is
noted with brewers at 29c for choice Pacifies,
2Sc for medium, and 35c for choice state.
Wires from the state markets quote 3235c for
desirable grades. The sale of a small lot at
34c is reported. Holdings up the state are
greatly reduced. Foreign cables note a firm
ness.
Prunes are quiet but firmly held in Jobbing
quarters. Occasional lots of Irregular counts
offer at concessions of from lie to Mc, but buy'
ers are not inclined to take hold, preferring to
pay full values for straight count. A few stray
lots of 40-GOs, inclusive, were picked up at 7&c
for 40s, 5c for 00s and 5c for 00s on an ex
port order. Bids at a shade under these prices
are in band, but have secured no lots yet.
Oregon prunes are quiet, but stocks are light.

CVic on 40-50s in Jobbing lots. Receipts were
4000 boxes for domestic, .and 17,000 -boxes for
export. '
Salmon Is unsettled, with cheap grades at

other packers.
The basis is reported below cost of -produc

that It will tend to lessen the output, as well
as to discourage new expeditions into Alaska.
This object is believed to be behind the move.
Other salmon Is dull.

Trading on thc Stock Exchange of
Light Volume Close Strong: at
Best Prices o the Day.
NEW YORK, Jan. 21. Tday's stock market
opened with the same listless tone and dull
business that havo characterized tho dealings
for some days past. The first transactions
showed a tendency to lower prices, but with
no especial pressure to sell, and when support
was afforded there was a general advance to
prices higher than those of last night. In this
movement several of thc specialties rose several
points or more,, among them Sloss-Sheffleld
Steel, which sold 2& higher. The advanco
brought with It a falling off in tho demand,
but in the absence of selling orders the tone
continued Arm.
After midday, the upward movement of prices
was resumed, and more than fractional gains
were made in the leaders. Whatever there was
of animation in the market was in the last
hour, when the buying was of a more vigorous
character than for some days. The favorable
tone was maintained up to the close, which
was strong at generally the best prices of the
day. Although tho market showed a good tone,
the business of the day was not especially Im
portant, tho total sales being little in excess of
500,000 shareB.
The Impressive feature of today's general sit
uation was the check upon tho advance In ster
ling exchange. Demand sterling was quoted a
shade under last night, while of equal signifi
cance, sterling at Paris rose again, making a
net advance of V& centimes since the first of
thc week. These movements practically dis
poses of whatever chance there was of gold ex
ports during the present week. Today's report
of the Subtrcasury showed that that Institution
has paid over to the banks $2,800,000 since last
Friday.
The bond market was dull and prices ruled
steady. Total sales, par value. S1.8S1.000.

WHEAT OVER, EIGHTY CENTS.
3Iay Option Continues to Advance In
Chicago Grain Pit.
CHICAGO, Jan. 21. May wheat opened
vsc better, at 7&;80JiC on firm cables and
light receipts, and advanced on general buying,
which apparently was not participated In by
leading longs, to S0X8S0&C Heavy liquida
tion by the longs caused a drop to SQ&c. after
reaching S05i8SOc. There was a rally to
SOHc, and the closing was strong. May 'iiSSsc
up, at SOXSSO&c The closing rally came
about through an active demand created by a
Duluth report of an advance In cash prices,
and various reports of stiff bids by foreigners,
especially Continental Interests.
There was only a small trade in corn. May
closed a shade up, at 4444Vic.
The oats market was fairly active, and prices
held steady. May closed up, at 36V&C.
The features of trade in the provision pit was
the bulge in January pork, which advanced on
a demand from shorts, and closed $1 05 over
yesterday, at S19. The May option at the open
ing responded to the advance in hogs and the
t firmness in January, but declined on local sell-
lng, closing a shade down. Lard closed 2c
down, and ribs a shade depressed.

PLEADS FOR HIS COMBINE
McCormick Is Turned Down by Im
plement Dealers' Association.
KANSAS CITY, Jan. 21. Before the
annual convention of the Western Asso
ciation of Retail Implement and Vehicle
Dealers here today. Cyrus H. McCormJck,
president of the International Harvesting
Company of America, spoke on the har
vester combine, so called, Tho Implement
men started a campaign against the com
bination shortly after the organization of
the company, and It was stated today
that Mr.-McCormick had come to this con
vention in the interest of peace.
'Mr. McCormlck's address was a plea for
harmony and he explained tho reason for
the merging of the five big companies
from his point of view. However, he made
no specific promisee. It was stated. The
session being executive, newspaper repre
sentatives were not admitted.
The discussion that followed was at
times heated. A majority of tho dele
gates, It developed, havo already signed
contracts for 1903. It is said that several
of them denounced the contract of the
combine in such emphatic terms that they
wero frequently and loudly applaudcd.-
A motion to refer the question to a com
mittee with power to act was made, but
after some debate it was decided to allow
tho committee of the National Federation
of Retail Implement & "Vehicle Dealers'
Associations to continue the fight against
tno combine.

PORTLAND TRUST COMPANY
of Oregon
Incorporated April 22. 18S7.
When we pick up the papers from
day to day and read the financial
news, we find quotations of Sterling
Bills of Exchange. Bankers and
merchants buy these bills, which
usually run for sixty days, as a
means of getting interest for short
periods upon their idle funds.
We issue certificates of deposit
payable upon ten days' call, 30 days'
call or 90 days' call, with interest
at 3 1-4, 3 1-2 and 4 per cent
per annum. You will find these
quite as good as Sterling Bills as
temporary investments. Give us
an opportunity of explaining further
to you about these certificates.
