The volume of trade In local Jobbing circles

In the latter lines the Spring trade Is on the
point of opening, and from orders already re
ceived, the indications are that it will exceed
nil previous records. The -wheat market is life
less, eo far as export business is concerned.
There is nothing doing In hops, and but little
mora business Is looked for this season.
"WHEAT The grain cason has reached that
point -where dealers can figure up their profits
of last year on speculate on the sire of the
comlnc crop as they sea fit. There is nothing
else to keep them busy. Exporters complain
of a lack of foreign inquiry and are neither
buying nor selling. The mills are taking the
little wheat they can get at their own figures.
and are not disposed to meet the views of the
majority of holders.
The exporting season is drawing to a close.
There are "only four grain ships in port at pres
cnt. one of -which is without charter. The en
route list numbers 21 vessels of an aggregate
tonnage of 38,27'
Discussing the strength of the world's wheat
markets, J. W. Hush, of London, writes in the
Northwestern Miller of March 11 as follows:
The wheat market during the week has been
very quiet, and prices have been dlfilcult to
maintain, chiefly owing to the pressure of La
Plata wheat offers for shipment at 28s for 61
pounds. 28s 3d for 62 pounds, and 29s for 63
pounds, all February-March shipment; for Feb
ruary shipment about sixpence above these
prices is asked, but buyers generally snow lit
tle disposition to operate, the more so as the
Russian shipments have lately exceeded expec
tations, making the total for Europe, and espe
cially for the United Kingdom, larger than we
.have lately been accustomed to. One of the
weak spots of the present position is, in fact,
the poorness of the demand for the Continent.
Belgium and Germany are especially buying
very little JUBt now, and have in fact been very
reserved for some weeks past. In France the
price of wheat for near delivery has further
Improved, and is now quite close to an Im
porting level, so that it would not be surprising
if a demand for foreign wheat for that country
were shortly to spring up. the more eo. as rood
milling wheats of home growth are getting .very
scarce, and at the same time the new crop does
not promise so well as at this date during the
last five years, This possibility of a French
demand in tbfc Spring serves to buoy up the
market, which, however, is in a more or less
apathetic state, English buyers feeling that for
some time to come, at any rate, their wants
are assured There is, however, a certain
amount of anxiety concerning the condition of
the young wheat plant In ussla, in Bulgaria
and in Hungary, so that, quiet as the market
is, I do not think that it will be dlfilcult to
keep the market up, more especially If the po
sltisn in the Northwest of America is as strong
as it seems to be.
My estimate of the world's production of
wheat in 1002. is now fairly complete. The to
tal is considerably in excess of what was ex
pected last Autumn, mainly owing to the big
crop In Russia, though I do not by any means
accept the ofllclal estimate of that crop as
final. I am, on the contrary, convinced that
the estimate was far too high. However, this
may be, I think It tolerably certain that the
world's wheat crop of 1902. which, of course.
Includes the Argentine crop lately reaped, was
almost the largest on record. Only on previous
crop approached it; viz., that of 1608. The fol
lowing is the estimate. In quarters, for the last
crop, compared with the corrected totals of the
four previous years:
3W2 870.000.000
l " 352,000.000
" 32C.000.000
343.000.000
Jf 370.000,000
Vr0r18, Whcat nsumptlon. of course,
varies according to circumstances. Last year
It was far above the normal level, owing to the
scarcity and hlch nrieo nf
in England. France. .Germany an? th
France, .Germany and the "Winter-

great difference. "What seems to me tolerably
clear Is that as at last harvest-UmT stocked

ing worked for the Orient, but the forward
lag on old orders. The inquiry from the Cape
Is slack. The Portland Flouring Mill, Com
pany resumed operations at its local plant yes
terday, after , a six-weeks' shut-down on ac
count of fire, and has enough business on hand
to keep it going for a long time ahead.
The market for mlllfeed is steady at former
quotations. There Is no present prospect of a
decline, and the season is too far advanced to
make an upward movement probable.
Oats and barley are slow and steady at the
old prices.
HOPS Dealers quote the hop market weak,
and growers bear out this Impression by their
anxiety to sell. Trading is at a standstill.
"While the last authentic 6ales were at 23c,
offerings have been a cent or two below this
figure, with no buyers willing to accrt the
offers. Of the hop situation in the East, the
New Tork Journal of Commerce of March 17
said:
Comrlaints were general of the unsatisfac
tory condition of business. The weaker drift
to values which has developed latterly has a
tendency to keep demand at a minimum, as
Irewers generally were deposed to hold off
from making purchases as long as possible In
tho efforts to obtain supplels on a more satis
factory basis of values. Statistically, however,
tre position was figured out a favorable one.
an the principal holders of hops showed no
anx.ety to make sales. Advices from the Coast
reported fairly steady markets, with Sonomas
shorts The SrtKSl bj Ct XSraj1?? I
.v. . we at c, and the Indi
cations were that the market for the average
run of eiiPPltls -of state hops had settled to' this
basis. Offerings, however, were small, as
stocks were light, and far the best erad.
ETOwers held for higher prices. Forelrmar
kets were reported quiet.
The Watervllle Times of March 10 says of
hops
"Since the sale of several lots about Oriskany"
Falls and Madison last week we have hearof
no business to speak of. The lots offering now
are br.nging only about 29c and 30c. The hold
ers of the larger and better grade hops are still
out of the market at the present prices."

Middle county wool has sold at 45c, dean. Good

from Heppner, Or., dated February 29k are that
already 500,000 pounds of wool have been
bought up in the Sand Hollow country by ono
firm alone, and at this early stage &&10c is
being paid tor the somewhat sandy Northern
Morrow wool, which oompares very favorably
with the price of last year. Just at this mo
ment, however, the Eastern trade Is doing
scarcely anything in the "West, although keep
ing in dose touch with the course of affairs
there.
The Reporter quotes Oregon wools at Eastern
seaboard markets as follows: Eastern staple.
17lSc per pound; Eastern Oregon choice clothing-.
1&S16; do average. 13-gl4c; do heavy, 12
13c; Valley Oregon, No. 1, 20g21c; do No. 2,
2021c; do No. 3. 10g20o; do lambs, 16317c.
COUNTRY PRODUCE Eggs continue to btf
the feature of this market. An attempt has
been made to keep prices up, but the tendency
of the market is in the. other direction. Tho
general quotation yesterday was 15c, and there
were rumors that the price was shaded in some
quarters. Receipts have again become exces
sive and unless a shipping outlet Is found,
the market will undoubtedly drop.
Poultry is generally steady, with enough
chickens coming in to supply the demand at
present prices. There is a good inquiry for
ducks, but none for geese. Turkey receipts are
light, but offerings are well taken at good
prices.
The tone of the butter market is easier; with
receipts of Oregon creamery larger, but still
below requirements.- So much California but
ter Is coming in that the price of the Oregon
product is barely maintained. Cheese, is in
adeqaute supply, and is quoted steady.
FRUITS AND VEGETABLES A heavy busi
ness is being done in dtrus fruits and. ba
nanas, from three to five cars of oranges and
one to three of bananas coming in each week.
Prices are unchanged from last week, with
oranges very firm. Apples are becoming scarce.
Some of the dealers have exhausted their stor
age stocks, and receipts from the interior are
smaller.
The vegetable supply is ample, considering
the season. There is a scarcity of celery and
& tew other varieties, but the assortment-generally
is good. .Smaller vegetables are coming
from California by steamer, heavier stocks by
