frHE MORNING OREGOSnAN, THURSDAY, ' JANUARY 29, 1903. 15 MID-WINTER TRADE Jobbing Business Up to the January Standard, ADVANCE IN WHEAT IS CHECKED Hop Market Quiet, but Prices Con. tlnuc Strong Unexpected De cline of Twenty Cents a Hundred in Sugar Cereals "Wheat, dull, weak; oats and bailey, weak; flour, higher. Hops Strong and fairly active. "Wool Quiet and firm In the Bast. Country Produce Poultry, active; eggs, steady; butter. Arm. Green Produce Steady demand for fruits and vegetables; potatoes, unset tled. Groceries Sugar, lower; farinaceous products, higher. Provisions Unchanged. The trade movement in local Jobbing circles in vn to the usual January standard. Grocery and merchandise dealers have no complaint to make of present business, and arc gratified at the prospects of a heavy Spring trade. In produce Quarters the volume of business has been affected by the chances In the weather. the country trade as a rule being better than the city demand. Fluctuations In wheat have kept the cereal markets unsettled. Hops have been firm, but not particularly active. Sugar has declined 20 cents, and numerous other changes, most of them slight, have been mate In the staple grocery list. "WHEAT The declines In the world's wheat markets, rcnorted for the nast two or three days, have put an effective stop to trading jn the Northwest, and It Is difficult to name quotations. Previous to the slump In Chicago brought about by Armour's selling, this cereal naa touched the high mark of the season. "Whether the future of this cereal Is up or down remains to be seen. In the trade the Ereneral belief Is expressed that the market ! at or near trie top. Tho following table shows the price of ship ping wheat In tho Portland market at the close of each month since the crop year opened: Club. Bluesttm.

The figures are: . .. . . Bushels. Available supplies, July 1, 1002 36,000.000 Farm rvrrwc n tVii nt. n inr i'Lv-v I "Winter and Spring wheat yield," "l002.07o!ooo!o00 Total available eupply 758,000,000 Seeding requirements Spring and SrrlTjg wheat Sl.000.000 Exports for six months 121,000,000 Domestic requirements for season. -.375.000.000 Total requirements 077.000.000 These figures indicate that 181,000,000 bushels will be left to 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 C0, 000,000 bushels carried over on July 1, 1003, In the available supplies and on the farms. The exports for that halt of the season of 1001-02, a season where the total exnorta from thu country. In flour and wheat, were the greatest on record, were 03,000,000 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 nresent season as for the same period of the preceding season tne cany-over on July 1 next will be 88,000,000 bushels. 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. The Arjrentino movement begins the middle of February. The weather there Is still an Important factor. A year ago Australia In February ras shipping 1,000,000 busbels weekly. There will be no supply from that source this February. The rush of Ar gentine shipments does not usually begin until March. Crop conditions throughout the United States are at present excellent; practically the entire "Winter wheat crop is covered with snow, and no anxiety over the condition Is apparent. The export movement has been good, and, although the primary receipts have Increased, there has been strong enough buying by the mills to prevent- any weakness. Owing to the conges tion In railroad traffic a- great deal of wheat has been "held up" at the point of growth, the rlllnjT Stock of the Eastern -mnrls lr,o- ; for the transportation of coal to the seaboard. FLOUR The steady upward movement In wheat last week resulted In an advance in flour that took effect Monday. By the new card. Valley grades are 5 cents higher, pat ents 35 cents up and straights advanced 25 cents. This Increase In price has had th .natural effect of checking the demand, eo the movement Is nof so good locally as It "was a week ago. Foreign orders have not yet been affected by the advance!- The China steamer to Ball next week will tike out ess flour than was originallyexpected, as the delay In the sailing of the preceding liner permitted her to take some of the orders booked for the present boat. HOPS The Portland hop market Is etronir. but not marked by special activity. For th I best grade of hops on the market, 27 cents can ' be readily obtained. A sale of 150 bales of hops of mixed quality is reported at 26H cents. Growers are not nartlntr readily with 'their holdings. Advices from the East and 'Europe have been uniformly good durlmr the 1 past week. wnnr-n,. k, rxr . . . uu. v.oiion tteo orter of January 22 said? I I porter of January 22 said: While Oregon wools continue quiet, prices j are very Arm, as the supply is so- limited, f Eastern staple Is held at 10 cents In the grease, ! and costs about 57 cents clean. Average East ern Oregon Is held at ifrffclTr 1 j No. 2 Valley at 2021c 1 California wools have attracted only a mod 1 prate degree of attention, hnf nHn. . 1, sustained all along the line. A few Spring wools are coming In. but most of the arrivals are Fall wools, and these sell at a. price equiv alent to about 45 cents rinan. Knt-lnr. . 1- sell at prices ranging all the way from 50 to oa cents ciean, aepenaent on what they are. Choice Northern wools are held at t>Sie clean. Some middle county wools have sold at 50 cents clean. The Reporter quoted Oregon wool at Eastpm seaboard markets as follow: Eastern lS18c per pound; Eastern Oregon choice cloth Hig. 1617c; Eastern Oregon average, 15lCc; Eastern Oregon heavy, 12813c; Valley Oregon No. 1. 20S?21c; Valley Oregon No. 2. 20f?2i. Valley Oregon No. 3, 1020c; Valley Oregon I lambs, 1617c. FRUITS AND VEGETABLES The demand !or apples Is fairly good and takes up receipts about as fast as they come In. Holders., nar- jUcularly in the Hood River co'untry, are let- ting go more ireejy as tne season advances. There Is a steady inquiry for late pears. Trop ical semi-tropical fruit engages, most of 1 the attention of the trade at this time of vear. I Three carloads of bananas have been detained on tho way by "washouts, and will reach the market In a.Jump. Among the oranges coming In are some fine ones from Tillmore, noted as a lemon-producing country. Larger fruit than usual is to bo seen In the market this season. Some of the oranges run as high as -iS to the box. The supply of vegetables Is equal to the de mand, and steady prices are the rule. Potatoes have been firm during the week, but heavy shipments recently mado to California are ex pected to slump that market. Onions are slow sale. COUNTRY PRODUCE The most Interest In this line has centered In eggs. Receipts have been unusually heavy, and the market has de clined In the past week, from 30 to 25 cents, and even the lower figure has been shaded. Tho new prices have stimulated the demand. and at the moment the market is steadier. None of the dealers now look for a further de cline unless there should be a spell of very mild weather. The poultry market has been kept bare by a good general Inquiry, assisted by heavy buying by the Chinese population for their new year's festivities. The latter demand Is about satis fied. There has been no change In butter during the week. The creamery supply Is shorter than usual, and quotations are very firm. GROCERIES. ETC. The feature of the gro cery trade was the decline of 20 cents per hun dred In all grades of sugar, which took effect yesterday. Jobbers do not attempt to explain tne reason for the decline. Other advances dur ing the week were In seeded raisins, farinaceous products and special brands of mackerel. Corn- meal is lower In" the East, and the local market will soon be affected. Cut nails havo declined 5 cents. Provisions and meats are unchanged. Hop Stiles at North Vaklmo. NORTH TAKIMA. Wash.. Jan. 28. (Special.) Three sales of hops were made hero this week, as follows: L. Rowe. 52 bales, to Charles Carpenter. 27 cents; John MoPhee, 50 bales, to Huntington & Co.. 27 cents; F. IL Spon, 52 bales, to A. E. Poole, 2G& cents. A. E.

SMALLEST OF THE' YEAR TRADING IX STOCKS AT NEW XORK AT LOWEST POINT. Close Is Steady, With Many Frac tional Gains Over the. Previous Day-Sterllnjr Exchnngc Easier. NEW .YORK, Jan. 28. Today's stock market flattened out entirely and by midday there was little or no more power left In the market Traders displayed some. Ingenuity In trying-to explain the late reaction of yesterday, which nullified the ' early gains. It was argued that the long interests In wheat were forced to un load some stocks to protect their wheat hold ings In the sharp slump. This aroused some hopes that the decline In stocks was only tem porary, and that tho advance would bo re newed this morning, but an attempt to put prices up this morning met with active selling In Pennsylvania, which caused that stock a point loss, and was unexplained by any news. Amalgamated Copper made some show of strength on a rather vague supposition that conditions In the trade were adjusted to a basis that would prove profitable for the com pany. One or two other stocks moved feebly from time to time, but did not long maintain their new position. There was reported a rather hardening ten dency In tho London money market, but ster ling exchange moved downward hero. Our money markef was appreciably firmer. The Subtreasury las reversed its recent tendency to contribute 'to the money market, and has commenced to take a small sum each day. The current redemption of National bank notes has been very heavy, but deposits of legal tenders for the retirement of the bank notes will soon bo In order, Banks throughout the country are In the habit of doing this through their York correspondents. Meantime, tho Gov enment continues to collect a dally surplus af revenue, which will mako Itself more felt with the retirement of bank notes. xno wabash net earnings for December showed the gain In gross practically all wiped out by the increasing operating expenses, con- '"s 10 mo snowing or other railroads, ex cept the anthracite coalers, and falling to show results of Increased freight rates which went imo enect in December, and from which bene fits were booed for. Tho failure of yesterday's slump In wheat to wcjui uuying orners ror export was consld ered unsatlsfactorj in Its relation to the ex change market, but unfliimM ie f , , cessation of the bull campaign In wheat will 00 ior me aavantage of export trade. The declaration of an extra dividend on Pressed Steel Car did not result In any animated de mand for the stock. General Electric made a muri aavanco in the lato trading, due pre sumably to reports of a deal with a rival company. St. Louis & Kan ?rnMA mn recovered part of its loss of the eariy afternoon. but elsewhere the list was devoid of interest. The day's operations were tho smallest thus far this year, and th rinir, . - - - uuu iwiu steady, with many fractional gains over the previous day.

Wheat ruled weak the greater part of tho day on continued selling by the same Interests that caused the break yes terday, although early In the day a slight rally occurred, due to a little support given the mar ket -by tho same operator.
