There has been a marked Improvement In
local Jobbing business In the past week and
ibe present month bids fair greatly to ex
ceed April In the volume of transactions. In
the grocery trade, last month was a disap
pointment. "While probably as much, business
was transacted as In April of last year, a
large Increase was looked for and the expec
tations were not realized.- The cause of the
Inactivity, whllo in a measure due to the
local strike, was principally attributed to the
tightness of money, as evidenced by the slow-
Bess, of collections. The city produce trade Is
also Improving with, the advent -of settled
weather. The hop market exhibits a better
tone followng Inquiries from the East. The
wool market Is opening at a slight advance
over last year. The wheat market Is dull
and featureless.
"WHEAT Owing to the small quantity of
wheat left unsold in the Northwest, there has
not been much life to the market. A few
small lots have changed hands, prlncloally
grain carried over by farmers, who expected
to need It for reseedlng. Prices show but
little change, club being quoted at 71 cents
and bluestem at 74 cents. For Valley wheat
the mills are not paying above 74 cents. The
foreign markets have been quiet and un
changed during the week. Exporters report a,
very slack Inquiry.
The following report on the wheat crop of
India' in 1902-3 Is forwarded by R- F. Patter
son, Tinted States Consul-Gen era! at Calcutta:
According to the second general memoran
dum on the wheat ctod of India fnr lhr 9.
son 1902-3, the condition of the crop in the
"United Province Is so favorable that a full
yield Is estimated for the thrp jitrn divi
sions and Oudh, and 90 per cent of a normal
crop ror the three western divisions; but in
the Punjab and the Northwest Frontier Prov
inces the yield on unlrrigated land, except In
tne BUDmontane districts, Is-Ukely to be poor,
unites rain falls very soon. Th Tvitrtv
and extent of the crop in the northern districts
oi me central iTovinces make up for the de
ficiency in the southern districts, and the
estimated yield for the whole area is 105 per
eem or me normal. The estmates for Bengal
arts 02 per cent of the normal.
The area under wheat In tho Pnninh .

000 acres, against 1.460.000 acres last t.ot in
the Central Provinces, at 2,600.000 acres, or
aooui me same as that of last year. In the
Bombay presidency (Including Klnii tnt.i
area In British districts is estimated at 1.260,-
uw acres, or 21 per cent below last year's
area. The Native States return ksi yvyi or

and 6 per cent over the averse, in -nr-ar-

It Is probable there will be a larger quantity

Writing on the European situation. J. W.
Rush, of London, says In the Northwestern
Miller of April 23:
The holidays have greatly interfered with
business during the past week, but the ten
dency has been quite Arm. mainly owing to
the Increased Continental demand and the ab
sence of any pressure to sell from the Ameri
can side of the Atlantic The glowing ac
counts of the "Winter wheat crop In America
have been duly digested and will doubtless
tend to restrict operations for more dstant
arrival, but there is evidently a present need
for wheat which overcomes all other consid
erations. The trade on this side is not in
clined to credit such extraordinary estimates
as a probable 590.000. 000-bushel "Winter wheat
crop put forward In Nw Vnrv- . inji...
by the bureau's figures of the 'crop condtion
.uea on April 10. but Is, quite prepared to
believe that if all Rhai
41 'go well With tho
Spring wheat
- - 4uivuncak CLUU ILL
Canada, this year's production in America and
Canada may exceed all previous records.
The revival of the demand for Continental
countries is perhaps the main cause of the
renewal of confidence In the market. In Feb
ruary the demand fell oft considerably; March,
however saw an increased movement and
April will give a still higher total. The actual
imports Into the chief European countries In
the seven months from August 1 to February
2S were as follows:

to 050.000 qrs. per week.
The total for March will be nearer 4.000.-

1 believe we shall finally find that the re
quirements of all European countries for the
whole season will not be leas than 1.000.000
qrs. per week, to which must be added 150.000
qrs. per week, for non-European countries,
such as Australia, South Africa, China, "etc
This is an Immense sale for the market to
keep up and with America at present supply
ing only about one-fourth of the European
requirements. I can see no prospect of a
pressure of supply for some time. In point
of fact I look for the quantity afloat. In the
absence of Pacific Coast supplies, to foil to
a dangerously low point before very long. At
the present moment the quantity of white
wheat afloat for the United Kingdom does
not reach 500.000 qrs., against 2,250.000 qrs
at this time last year.
FLOUR, FEED. ETC The feature of the
flour market during the week was a decline
of 15 cents on patents and 10 cents an
straights. Valley grades were unchanged. The
drop was " in sympathy with the declining
strength of wheat In the local market. The
only development In foreign business was the
chartering of a ship to carry about 8000 tons
of flour to ttie United Kingdom. No further
'disposition is shown In the Orient to Increase
business.
The local mill feed markets are steady with
an active demand. Hay Is strong at quotations
and light In supply. Barley Is steadier, fol
lowing advancing values In California. Oata
are quiet and unchanged.
HOPS After several month of weakness
and stagnation, the hop market has awakened
and turned firm again. Some inquiries are
coming in from the East for hons at 20 cents
and a number of small sales have been made
at that figure.
A. J. Bay, the hop dealer, who has made a
tour of the Taller sars:
"The VArdu nm InoVlnir TmjtricftMr' w11.
They are about a week late, but with a con
tinuance of warm weather will catch up
with the progress they made at this time last
year. There is some complaint of missing hills,
but this happens every year. - Training is in
full blast. "While it Is too early to make a
definite estimate, I would say th -yield will
be similar to last year's with the additional
output -of the new yards conrtflg In, some 5000
or 70d0 bales."
Cable advices received from London reported
slightly increased interest shown In American
hops, with sales reported of about 300 bales
held there at prices on & parity with primal
markets. The London Brewers' Journal of
April 15, in its review of the London hop
mantei, ears:
"Most of the warehouses In the Borough
are empty of hops or nearly no. n fni-t n-M'h
has hardly been known for a whole century
at least, ana, with a trifle more lnaulry
springing up, the market at tha close, for the
Easter holidays Is In to eniHo anV Ka.i
a condition that the smallest untoward event
would almost Buffice to send It Into a whirl of
excitement and advancing prices."
"WOOL The wool market Is beginning to
open and shows an advance of from U tn 1
cent above last year. No large Bales have
been made yet. but some active business Is
looked for In a few days If growers and buy
era can come to terms. All the Portland
houses and large Eastern firms are repre
sented In the Interior. A late estimate of the
clip places the Valley yield at 2.000.000 pounds
and that of Eastern Oregon at. about 18,000,000
pounds.
Very little mohair remains unsold. Ehln-
menta from Portland to the East last week
aggregated 210.000 pounds.
COUNTRY PRODUCE An Increase In re
oelpts of eggs has tended to weaken the mar
ket without resulting In any lowering of
prices as yet.
Poultry has come in quite freely during the
week, but has met with ready sale, and the
expected slump in prices therefore did not
materialize.
The butter market continues strong at
quotations with arrivals of only fair volume.
FRUITS AND VEGETABLES Oregon green
stuff Is comng In in better volume and of
more varied assortment, yet receipts from
San Francisco are promptly taken up.
In the fruit market the demand for citrus
varieties Is less urgent, owing to the poor
quality of many of the shipments coming to
hand. Bananas continue scarce and high. Ap
ples are plentiful, but the" offerings are gen
erally Indifferent, which is to be expected at
this late stage of the season. Receipts of
California strawberries Increase dally and the
price declines In a correspondingly degree.
The market for fancy potatoes Is good, but
poor stock is not wanted. Shipments to San
Francisco continue and the beat varieties com
mand a satisfactory price. This also applies
to the onion market.
GROCERIES, MEATS, ETC No important
change In the staple grocery list has taken
place for several weeks and there is no indi
cation of any Immediate alteration In prices
The rice, bean and sugar markets remain
Arm. Dried fruits, are also stronger, esneclal.
ly apricots. Standard English walnuts are
scarce and high, with no soft -shell to be had.
Turoentlne Is lower.
Meats, live and dressed, are active and
values show more strength. Veal, which has
been plentiful and weak of late, has firmed
up on lighter receipts and is now quoted V,
cent higher. Hams and lard each declined 4
cent In the week.
Salem Hop Market.
SALEM, May 6. (Special.) The hop market
In Salem continues in a very lnactvo state.
No sales of 1902 hops are being made, but
contracts are made for 1903 hops at from 14
to 15 cents. Dealers have orders for 1902
hops at 18 cents but the growers who still
have hops decline to sell at that price. There
has been a great struggle here for the last
two or three weeks between the bulls and the
bears. One side tries to convnee the brewers
that the market is going down and that there
is no need to buy now. The same element en
deavors to scare the growers into selling. On
the other side the nop market Is pictured In
bright colors and growers are encouraged to
hold their hops for a rise In prices that Is
ccnain 10 come Deiore me new crop Is mar
keted.
Reports differ as to the condition of the
growing crop. T. A. Llvesley, one of the
largest growers In this vicinity, reports his
crop as In excellent condition. Other growers
report many missing hills, and predict a
short crop. Conservative growers believe It
far too early to begin making predictions as
to the size of the 1903 crop.

CHANGES ARE FRACTIONAL
NO SXAP TO. TRADING ON NEW
YORK STOCK MARKET.
Strong- Indications of Front Talcea
in the Dealings Q,BeatIen of
Gold Experts.
C
NEW TORK, May 6. The stock market to
day was so Inert that the utmost endeavors of
the traders did not effect more than fractional
changes, except la a handful of stocks.
The prominent stocks which started upward
on Monday and early yesterday, continued to
hold & conspicuous position in the trading In
the degree of thalr activity, but their small
net changes In prices for the day are a strong
indication that profit-taking was actively going
on la them uader cover of new points of
strength. St. Paul, the Pacifies, Louisville,
Reading, Erie, Baltimore & Ohio and other
stocks of this class ended the day practically
unchanged from last night's prices, though
they absorbed a large proportion of the day's
dealings. St. Louis & San Francisco and Rock
Island were strong and active all day. with no
apparent reason than a revival of old rumors
of the purchase of the former by the latter.
These rumors seemed to meet with little cre
dence In consequence of the suspicion that the
movement In the stocks was designed as a
cover for profit-taking at other points. Stocks
affiliated with St Louis & Ban Francisco, how
ever, were quite consistently strong. There was
an advance of 1U In Illinois Centra, which
seemed to be supplementary to yesterday's
movemnt In Louisville.
The strength of Amalgamated Copper was
nominally based upon an advance In the Lon
don price of copper. Brooklyn Rapid Transit
enjoyed tha benefit of published estimates of
large earnings from the increasing Summer
weather traffic parked weakness was shown
by the National Lead stocks, which was at
tributed to rumors that the principal competi
tors in the trade were about to combine. There
were no notable movements outside of those
specified, and thye was a sharp falling off In
tho volume, of dealings compared with yester
day. The course of the foreign exchange market
kept the question of gold exports open all day.
The steady advance here only kept pace with
the rise of sterling In Paris, so that the ex
pected triangular" operation, by which gold
would go to Parts, was kept beyond the bounds
of profit. But shipments of gold direct to Lon
don began to come into calculation when the
rate Tor demand sterling got above 4.8S. The
Inquiry for cable transfers was even more
urgent than that for demand bills. The move
ment was clearly due to preparations for par
ticipation In the pending Transvaal loan. Ev
ery Indication goes to show that this loan
will be heavily over-subscribed; that Intend
ing subscribers are putting In bids much In
excess of their desired subscriptions. In order
that their allotments may equal their require
ments. This process of over-subscrlptlon, of
course, emphasized the demand for exchange.
"With the opening of subscriptions to the loan.
wnicn is expected tomorrow, there Is likely to
be a sharp falling off In the demand for ex
change. The local money market was unaf
fected, and offerings on time were rather freer
than heretofore. The market closed heavy and
ami.
There was a very good demand for bonds.
and particularly those paying 4 per cent or
over on the investment. Total sales, par value,
$2,150,000. United States 2s advanced on
the last call.
