Soaring -wheat markets -were the rule every
whero yesterday. Chicago advanced over a
cent, New York followed suit, San Francisco
was up several points,. and the Liverpool and
Paris markets wore materially higher than the
close of the preceding day. England, -which
for several "weeks has not responded to the
fluctuations on this Bide, is at last keeping up
with the procession, and prices there are near
ly on a parity -with those in American mar
kets. Locally, the feeling is strong, with ex
port quotations lc higher, at 75c for club and
S6c foi bluestem. Milling quotations exceed
these figures by 2c or 3c The late upward
movement in the price of wheat would have
more effect on tho Northwest at large if It
were not for the fact that nearly all the crop
has been disposed of, so that the alluring fig
ures offered cannot bring much grain out of
first hands.
An estimate of the probable supplies of wheat
available in the United States to meet require
ments for the last six months of the crop year
of 1902-03 can be made now that the figures of
the Government on the crop yield of 1902 and
the exports in flour and wheat for the first
half of the season have been given out. The
figures are:
Bushels.
Avallablo supplies, July 1. 1002 30.000.000
Farm reserves on that date 52,000,000
Winter and Spring wheat yield, 1D02.C70.000.000
Total available supply
Seeding requirements Spring
SS.OOO.OOO-
and
Spring wheat 81.000.000
Exports for six months.... ... 121.000.000
Domestic requirements for season... 375,000,000
Total requirements 577,000,000
These figures Indicate that 181.000,000 bushels
Xvlll bo left te- meet export demands for the last
half of the season and to carry over into the
new crop. If the exports should equal those
of the first half of the season there will be 60,
000,000 bushels carried over on July 1, 1003, in
the available supplies and on the farms. The
exports' for that half of tho -season of 1001 -'02,
a season where the total exports from this
country, in flour and wheat, were the greatest
on record, were 93,000.000 bushels, falling 47,
000,000 bushels below those of the first six
months of the season. With as much wheat
exported during the last half of the present
season as for tho same period of the preceding
reason, the carry-oyer on July 1 next will be
88,000.000 bushels.
Tho Argentine movement begins the middle
of February. Tho weather there is still an
important factor. A year ago Australia in
February was shipping 1.000,000 bushels week
ly. There will be no supply from that source
this February. The rush, of Argentine ship
ments does not usually begin until March.
EGG MARKET BREAKS.
Local Trade Swamped "With Receipts
From the Country.
The egg market has gone to pieces. Such an
influx has not been known for months, and
dealers and commission men are at a loss to
know what to do with the supplies that are
accumulating. One house has over 100 cases
piled up, and several others nearly, as many.
The result is that quotations are almost Impos
sible to name. Retailers understand the situa
tion and are holding off on their purchases,
buying only enough for immediate needs. Some
sales were made when the day opened at a
Tango of 27430c Then the price dropped to
28c, and then to 25c. Though no dealers pub
licly quoted below tho latter figure, retailers
asserted that they could buy all the eggs they
seeded at their own price. Efforts made .to
find a shipping outlet were unavailable, except
in the case of a few small lots. Other markets
near by were in as bad shape as the local
trade. San Francisco is famous for the high
price of its poultry-yard produce, but there is
ko demand there for Oregon eggs. In the San
Francisco trade they are known as "bakers'."
3"he quality of the Oregon egg, so far as its
Inside goes, is good enough for any one, but
Its external appearance Is not in Its favor. If
Its shell -were cleaner it would meet the fas--ildlous
California demand.
WHY POTATOES ARE POOR.
(California. Buyer Advises Oregon
Farmers to Change Their Seed.
The potato market is in fairly good shape,
with quotations steady. The San Francisco
demand has improved lately, but is not what
it ought to be. A California buyer who is
looking over this territory, says:
"The solo trouble with' Oregon potatoes is
that the growers here do not change the seed.
This is a penny-wise, pound-foolish theory, for
It has resulted in a deterioration of the prod
uct. Oregon some years ago produced potatoes
as, fine, as any one could wish to see, but now
they are compelled to take a back seat, all
because the yield of the same fields is being
used over and over again for seed. If the
farmers would swap seed with some of their
neighbors, -who are not living too close to
them, or, better still, buy their seed in an out
side market, they would find the quality of
their potatoes vastly Improved."
OREGON HOP MARKET.
Grorrers oA't In a. Hurry to Sell Their
Crops.
The Portland hop market has been quiet for
the past two or three days. Growers are not
Inclined to part with their hops, even at the
high prices prevailing. The latest sales made
were at 27c. The hops Involved were what,
before the nolideys, ranked as prime to choice,
and were quotable a full 2c lower than strictly
choice. Therefore, if any of the latter were to
be had now they would come very near com
manding 30c However, there are none of this
top grade, or at least very few in first hands.
As the market advances, the line is not being
drawn so sharply, and most of the hops that
have changed hands on the recent bulge have
been clossed as choice. "Well-informed hopmen
take exception to the statement Jhat from 9000
to 12,000. bales remain in the possession ot
growers. They say a closer estimate is from
8000 to 9000 bales.
Hop Sales at Salem.
SALEM, Or., Jan. 22. Special.) Lllienthal
Bros,, by their local agent, H. J. Ottenhelmer,
today bought G8 bales"ofhops from P." Geelan,
paying therefor 27c It is reported that' sev
eral offers ot 27o were today refused, at "Wood
burn. The local market is firm at 274c
Hops at Xew Yorlc
NEW YORK. Jan. 22. (Special.) Hops are
firm, though quiet. State wires report con
tinued firmness under small stocks. last
sales reported were at 32c net on choice. Some
holders ask 35c Spot Pacifies sold in a small
way at 29c "for choice. Foreign cables report
firm markets.
SALMON AT CUT PRICE.
Good Business Being Bone on the
Xew BnsiH.
NEW YORK, Jan. 22. (Special.), The local
representatives of the Alaska Packers' Asso
ciation roport a better inquiry for pink and
chum salmon at the recent cut in price. Most
of the business done has been put through for
account in the South and West. A lot of 2000
cases of pinks was sold to jobbers here at 50c
f. o. b. Coast Several good-sized orders for
local account in future pinks at the same basis
have been booked today, and responses from In
terior points have been freer than expected.
Representatives of the Fidalgo Island Packing
Company report a fair business in 1902 pinks,
and U. H. Dudley & Co. also note fair sales of
chums at the low price. The Alaska Packers'
Association is the only Interest fixing the basis
on futures. The Pacific Selling Company re
fuses to make prices meeting the cut on spot
or futures. Red grades of salmon are steady,
but quiet.
Prunes are somewhat firmer, but the general
movement is quiet. Exporters are buying any
thing In sizes 50-COs and 60-70s offering below
the market. A few lots sold at 5c for 50s
and 5c for 60s. Oregon stocks arc light, and
very firm at 7&c for 30-40s and C4c for 40-50s.
Foreign markets are reported active.
Lima beans are stronger, with last rales at
$3 10 per bushel here. Bids of ?4 25 per hun

IROX TRADE REVIEWED.
Freight Embargo and Fnel Scarcity
the Principal Features.
NEW YORK, Jan. 22. Discussing the condi
tion of tho iron and metal trades, the Iron
Age says:
The freight embargo and tho coal and coko
scarcity continue the principal features, nota
bly in the Central West; nor does there seem
much prospect of an improvement for some
time to come. This affects primarily the
cruder products, and has less effect upon the
more finished lines. Buying has been light In
the leading pig-Iron distributing markets, but
maneuvering for position continues. The
Southern Ironmakcrs aTe asking $17 50 for
gray forge and $18 50 for No. 2 foundry. Bir
mingham prices, which the rolling mills pro
nounce too high, in view of tho figures prevail
ing for bars.
Foreign foundry irons are selling at tidewater
points $23 below the equivalent for domestic
Iron, and still the new purchases for importa
tion arc limited in volume. A cargo of Mld
dle3borough No. 3 has recently been bought for
shipment here. The heavy movement of coal
for this side is affecting freights, too. and
hampers importations of foreign pig iron. It
appears that a scarcity is developing In tho
West of low phosphorus pig, and Chicago ad
vices indicate a sharp advance in charcoal pig.
There is very little being done In steel billets,
either domestic or foreign. The shipments ot
the rail mills, exclusive of the Colorado works,
were 2,333,000 cross tons In 1902 of rails 50
pounds and heavier. This year the tonnage
will be larger, since tho new Lackawanna
mill, at Buffalo, will contribute its quota, and
a number of other works have notably in
creased their capacity.
Reports that an advance is imminent in plates
are dented by good authority. The tonnage is
coming In at a very satlsf aetory rate.
Chicago reports one contract for 12,000 tons
for delivery during' the second halt of the year.
Some good contracts for structural material
have been placed. Including one lot of 9500 tons
for the Pennsylvania road at Philadelphia, 4500
tons for the Missouri Pacific and 2500 tons for
the buildings of Ingersoll, Sergeant Drill Com
pany. Further good orders are pending.
Work on the much-talked-of combination of
the independent bar iron mills of the Chicago
district has been resumed, and it is possible
that it may be soon effected.
There has been little improvement In the
sheet trade. Pittsburg reports that during tho
past few weeks there have been heavy pur
chases in that market by largo steel interests
of heavy melting scrap. It Is estimated that
the total amount Involved was 75,000 tons. Tho
market has now quieted down. In the metal
trade reports aro current that a very large or
der for copper has been placed by one of the
leading" electlcal companies.

WHIMS OF ROOM TRADERS
RESPONSIBLE FOR HESITATING
TOXE OF STOCK MARKET.
News From Venezuela. Checks Re
cent Advance Gold Export Ques
tion Is Reawakened.
NEW. YORK, Jan. 22. The drift of prices in
today's stock market was still listless and hes
itating, and reflected nothing more than the
shitting whims or hopes of tho room, traders,
whose operations absorbed tho total dealings.
Yesterday's late advance met rather a positive
check this morning in the news from Venezuela
ot a renewed attack upon the fort at San Car
los by German war vessels. It is believed the
least consequences of this must be to obstruct
the settlement of the dispute between Vene
zuela and the powers, which has been a source
of uneasiness in the securities markets ever
since it became acute. The reports from
"Washington of a positive attitude of disap
proval of this latest step on the part of the
American Government offered the possibility
to the Imagination of traders of more dlrectJ-
compllcatlons on our own part In tho quarrel.
It was evident, however, that a more serious
view of tho situation in its effect upon Amer
ican securities was taken In London than here,
and the declines effected there In American
stocks Induced an active arbitrage selling here
at the opening. Tho London selling was not
entirely checked, even when prices receded to
below the London parity. It was not until
after the close of tho London .pay of trading
that the local market made any effective re
covery. The London selling of stocks created a de
mand for exchange, which stiffened prices of
bankers' bills and reawakened the gold export
question. There was also a fractional reac
tion In tho price of sterling at Paris, but Lon
don discounts and money went lower, and tho
favorable Bank of England return aroused dis
cussion of a probable decline In the bank rate
at an early day. The Bank of France also re
flected a gain of about $1,000,000 in gold for
the week and a large contraction of note Issues
and repayment of loans. The export demand
for grain meantime continues large. In spite
of a rise in prices of wheat, and affords a good
supply of exchange bills. The price cf Amer
ican carles also fell a fraction in the London
market today.
Some special weakness was shown by the
New York public utilities, owing- to the agita
tion of the. franchise tax question, and the
difference of opinion disclosed ad to the appli
cation of the adverse judicial decision to the
law as a whole. Tho declines from last night
ran from 1 to 1& in the speculative leaders
during the morning weakness. The late recov
ery in prices was largely connected with the
anticipation of a dividend Increase in Northern
Securities, the directors of which went into
session early in the afternoon. Active buying
and a sharp advance in Northern Securities on
the curb and a 3-poIht rise in Great Northern
in tho boardroom was taken as corroborative)
evidence. The 3-polnt advanco in St. Louis &
San Francisco, though unexplained by news,
was a sustaining influence on the market.
There were rumors that the road was to pass
into the control of the Southern Railway. The
professed expectation on the Northern Securi
ties dividend ran from a yearly rate of 4& per
cent to 5 per cent, or a lump extra dividend.
The declaration of the 1 dividend was not
announced until after tho market closed. The
closing was steady, but very dull.
Bonds were dull and irregular. Total sales.
$2,970,000. United. States bonds were un
changed on the last call.
