ITHE MORNING OREGONIAN, TUESDAY, SANITARY 27, 1903. IS WHEAT IS EASIER Eastern and Foreign Markets Off a Shade. NO CHANGE IN LOCAL PRICES Firmness In nice Promise an Ad vance Before LonK-Progrcss of. the Salmon Price War De mand for Hops. All the Eastern and farolgn "wheat markets were oft yesterday, which led to an easier reeling In the local trade. Buying Is prac tically at a standstill, as farmers' views have been raised so high by the recent advance that exporters decline to do business with them. "Walla Walla wheat for shipping purposes Is quoted at 75 cents and bluestem at SG cents. The world's wheat markets are In a strong pcsltl-n. owing to the lack of supplies avail able for Immediate shipment. Russia has a far larger amount of wheat on hand than usual. Manitoba will be able to furnish her Usual quota, while Argentina Is sending out reports of the largest exportablo surplus on record. In spite of the occasional checks the general tendency Is upward. The -most plaus ible reason Is that supplies in Europe and afloat for Europe, are nearly 15.000.000 bushels less than last year, while the demand Is equally good, and the promised largo supplies In ex porting countries other than the United States are not yet available for shipment and will not be for a month or two. The demand of the importers, therefore. Is likely to fall heavily upon this country. During the first six months of the season shipments from the United States havo amounted to 123,000.000 bushels, as compared with 148,000.000 during the corre sponding period last year. During the last six months of last season there were SC. 000.000 bushels shipped; the conviction is becoming general that during the coming six months the European demand will amount to fully 85,000, 000, which would be all the country could spare. Crop conditions are at present excellent; practically the entire Winter wheat crop is covered with enow, and no anxiety over the condition is apparent. The export movement has been good, and although the primary re ceipts havo increased there has been strong enough buying by the mills to prevent any weakness. Owing to the congestion in rail road traffic a great deal of wheat has been "held up" at the point of growth, the rolling Etock of the Eastern roads being used for the transportation of coal to the seaboard. SUPPLY AND DE3IAND IX SAX.MOX. Alaska Packers' Association's Rea son for Making the Cat. KEW "FORK, Jan. 26. (Special.) Salmon opened showing some speculative interest on pinks. 1002 pack, at 50c f. o. b. Coast. Many orders placed with the association, as well as outside Interests, were not confirmed up to the close. Chums at the 37J4c basis for spot are temporarily withdrawn. Outside In terests offer pinks in 100-case lots at 50c f. o. b. Coast, rail shipment. The Pacific Selling Company refuses to meet the cut prices and reports a sale for export of 3000 cases on the equivalent of G2&ft net cash f. J. b. Coast on pink tails. The Alaska Packers' Association Is taking orders on futures at 50c for pinks and 37c for chums. J. K Armsby arrived here today and says in an interview: "Our principals (the Alaska Packers As sociation) havo always conducted their busi ness regardless of competitors. In other words, they realize fully that the law of suprly and demand must necessarily govern prices. Temporarily, some pool or combina tion may raise or lower prices. In the pres ent instance, there are 1.000.000 cases of pink and chums hanging over the market, the accumulation of 1901 and 1002 packing. Aside Jrom this there is considerable in jobbers hands that there would not be If the supply was not ahead of the demand, which means that prices have been too high and an In creased demand must be created, regardless of who Is hurt, and such Increased demand can only be created by lower prices. Tho prices, 37&c and 50c" per dozen, pay tho packers a heavy loss, but that does not enter into the situation. The goods are packed and must be sold. Some, competitors have -already met our nrices and others will have to meet them or carry the goods indefinitely. There is no market for pink or chums on the basis that has ruled until recently. The vast accumula tion proves that Inasmuch as the supply has increased faster than the demand, and the coming year is the big pack of hump, the association feels that a low prlco now would reduce the coming pack Very materially and it Is their intention finally to catch up to the production." RICE MARKET FIRM. Jobbers Look for an Advance in the Xcar Future. The rice market shows great strength, prin cipally because of the crop shortage in Japan. Ixcal prices have undergone no change re cently, but Jobbers would not be' surprised by the announcement of an advance any day. The 1002 rice crop of Japan, according to a recently Issued estimate of the Japanese De partment of Agriculture and Commerce, shows a decrease of upwards of 15 per cent from the extraordinarily heavy crop of tho previous year. That the present crop, however, cannot be called a poor one, is indicated by the fact that, as compared with the average crop of the four previous years (1S9S-1001). It shows a decrease of less than one-half of 1 per cent. The following statement gives, in terms of measured bushels, the estimated production of rice In Japan In 1002, as compared with the actual production of the four preceding years: 1002 (estimated) 203,759.047 1001 240.157,503 1000 212,268.821 1899 203,215,382 1S98 176,030.040 Englishmen Buying Hops. NEW YORK. Jan. 26. (Special.) Hops closed with a stronrer undertone. English exporters have reappeared In the market and several lots of choice state were moved at 35c Spot Pacifies rule firm. Foreign cables report un changed markets. Prunes are firmer, with t0-G0s quoted at 0c in Jobbing lots. One car sold at Cc A few in quiries are reported for export. Oregons are scarce and firm. Today's recolpts were 8000 boxes for domestic and 10,000 boxes for ex port. Lima beans are active, with sales reported at ?3 074 per bushel. Hops at London. LIVERPOOL. Jan. 26.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 2a The leading mill ing concerns of this city have sent out cir culars to their customers notifying them that the price of flour has been advanced 20 cents a barrel. The new rate went into effect today and it is the consensus of opinion among the flour dealers that if wheat prices continue on the up grade, as during the past week," flour will go still higher in .the near future. Under the new rate, family extras are sell ing for ?4 40 and $4 65 a barrel and bakers' extras at $4 20 and $4 40, these prices being the highest in the local market at this time of the year since 1896. when flour sold for over $5 . barrel.

Railroad Earnings Decrease In Spite of the Enormous Trafflc Little Money for Speculation. NEW YORK. Jan. 26. The professional traders in stocks wero in a more cheerful frame of mind today and expressed relief over the good prospects reported for a settle ment of the Venezuelan difficulty. There is no doubt that the state of irritation that has accompanied the blockade has been an In fluence toward depression In the financial world, but today's market did not Indicate conclusively that it was that alone that with held people from taking hold of securities. The market had one or two spurts, then an appearance of considerable animation was im parted to the trading, but at other times the trading was stagnant- The average of the day's activity did not rise aoove that of last week. The weekly statistics of railroad traffic caused an unfavorable Impression by reason of the far-reaching complaint of car famine. The lncreaso in grain receipts at Chicago was at tributed to the fact that the eastbound roads wero unable to accept the Incoming shipments from the West. Tho decrease in eastbound grain shipments bore out- tnis supposition. On the other hand, the westbound shipments of general merchandise were reported of un precedented dimensions, as has been the case for some time past. Car equipment, motive power and trackage facilities are reported In adequate to handle the demand on the rail roads. This Is accepted as evidence of tho continued strong level of prosperous activity in the country, but from the standpoint of rail road values there Is disappointment that the enormous sums spent la the last few years for Increasing railroad facilities of all kinds should still leave a prospect of such heavy additional requirements, while the net earn ings of railroads, owing to tho rising tldo of operating- expenses, are decreasing In spite of the enormous trafflc The large business In the country also indicates a profitable use for money, which does not promise well for tho addition to supplies available for speculative uses. Today's movements wore pretty uniform among the stocks which have lately consti tuted tho market leadership. Missouri Pa cific was helped by a reported Increase In weekly gross earnings. General Electric made a wide advance on Intimations of large earn ings. Otherwise, there wero no features. Tho markat's only response was to occasional rumors of steps looking to" a Venezuelan set tlement. The closing was very dull, but firm at tho top. Bonds were dull and heavy. Total sales, par value, $3,210,000. United States bonds were unchanged on tho last call. CLOSING STOCK LIST. O So STOCKS.

At the open ing of the United Mineworkers' Conven tion today a bill for $10,800 47 was reported by the committee on transportation to cover the railroad expenses of the 743 delegates. A delegate from Montana, who drew $S5 73, led all of the delegates. The tellers on the election of National ofUcers by the recently taken referendum vote then reported. John Mitchell, who had no opposition for president, received 55.032 votes, and W. B. Wilson, who had no opposition for secretary-treasurer, re ceived &5.123 votes. Vice-President T. I Lewis, of Ohio, was re-elected over T. D. Nlcholls, of Pennsylvania, by a vote of 39.033 to 17,249. The election for delegates to the American Federation of Labor re sulted in the election of President Mitch ell, Secretary Wilson, Vice-President Lewis; W. D. Ryan, of Illinois; John Fahey, of Pennsylvania; W. H. Hasklns, of Ohio, and John Dempsey, of Pennsyl vanla. When the vote was taken by the miners on the next convention city, Indianapolis had a clear walk-away over a dozen com petitors. It was decided to leave the executive board free in placing tho salaries of or ganizers. The special committee on defense "fund recommended the establishment of a large fund. It did not deem it advisable at this time, however, to establish a National defense fund, but owing to the unorgan ized condition of the miners In many of the districts it was thought best to con tinue the 10 cents per month assessment for another year. The report of the committee on injunc tions was very detailed. The committee went into the history of the operation of the Injunction, and after showing the great abuses to which It has contributed, recommended that President Mitchell ap point a committee of two to go to Wash ington to use Its Influence to secure the passage of the anti-injunction bill. House bill No. 11,360. now pending in the Senate; the committee also to be Instructed to get the record of every Senator and Repre sentative on tho bill. The report of the committee on consti tution suggested many changes, the most Important of which is a change In the voting representation of the districts so far as the power to order a general sus pension of work Is concerned. Under tho new rule it will require three-fourths of the districts to order a general strike. Paper-Makers to Work Long Hours. APPLBTON, Wis.. Jan. 26.

A dispatch to the Dally Mall from St Petersburg reports great unrest during the paat week In Teheran, tho capital of Persia. Not a day passes without arrests of Influential statesmen and prominent personages. These arrests are attributed in St Peters burg to the influence of tho British Min ister at Teheran, who intervened energet ically in behalf of the Libest religious sect, a growing power, which, with a doctrine resembling Christianity, is trying to over throw Islamlsm.

Leader of the Bull Campaign on Both Sides of the Market Trading in General Only Moderate. CHICAGO, Jan. 2a The wheat market was a very nervous affair and trading in general was only moderate.

There was considerable selling early on cables and May declined to Sl&c. after opening a shade to H'S'&c lower at 8ISS2c, but on reports that France was buying heavily there was a quick advance, the price selling up to S2c After another de cline there was a rally to S2tic, but an easier feeling developed in the latter part of the session and the close was weak and c lower at 814S81lc, after selling at SIHc Tho news, while of all sorts, was mainly bearish. Rains In California, reported Increased offer ings by Argentina and an increase in the exportable surplus, together with rains in India, all combined to induce freer selling. There was a good trade in corn and the prevailing sentiment was quite bullish. The close was firm with May &14c higher at .Oats wero dull and easy.
