' ' THE MOBNING OREGONIAK. FRIDAY, MAY 15, 1903. 13 INQUIRY FOR OATS Demand From Government Steadies the Market, QUANTITY WANTED FOR MANILA Bids Also Invited for Supplying Large Shipment of Hay for the Philippines Local Prodace Quotation. - The market for oats , la steadying tinder a better demand and limited offerings. Some slight Influence on the market Is doubtless caused by the Government Inquiry, but It trill have only an Indirect effect "on this market as there will probably not be any Portland bldder-sfor the contract. The proposals will be received at Seattle until Hay 28 and call for the delivery at Portland, Seattle and Ta coma of 2500 tons of oats, double sacked, also BOO tons of hay, double compressed. According to the specifications, a sample of at least three pounds of oats must accompany the bids. Bid ders are to state -when, delivery Trill com mence and when It will be completed. The oats must be Eound, full grain, free from dirt and Impurities, weighing- not less than 32 pounds to the bushel and put up In Kood strong sacks well sewed and without rips or tears. Proposal will be received In whole or In part from any one bidder. The right Is re served to Increase the amount 25 per cent. The same reservation applies In the case of the hay contract. The hay must be of the best quality of merchantable Puget Sound or East ern "Washington timothy, perfectly sound and free from seeds; sticks, rubbish or wild grass. The bidder must state the kind he will furnish. The hay Is to be baled with wire not less than No. 13 guage for square bales and not less than 12 guage for cylindrical bales and compressed to the greatest density. Delivery of the hay and oats will be required on board cars or on ships or lighters alongside .the Government wharf at Portland, Seattle or Tacoma at the earliest possible date and early delivery may be an Important factor in making the award. HOP CIIOP CONDITIONS. New Tarda Are Looking Better Than Old Ones. A careful examination of hop yards In the "Willamette Valley shows that all the newer yards planted In the. past Ave or six years axe In much better condition than last year, many yards having vines eight feet high. The older yards are looking very uneven and while probably half the vines are up two feet, the remainder are Just coming out of the ground. "Whether these backward vines will overtake the more advanced ones remains to be seen. In California and Washington prospects are for a larger crop than last year. Conditions in New York State are normal, the roots having "Wintered well and appear to be coming up strong. Reports from- England are to the effect that the growers are taking unusual care of their yards, but It Is too early yet for reports of the condition of the growing crop. The stocks of hops on hand on the Coast foot up nearly 30.000 bales and are about evenly divided between dealers, and growers. This stock Is about ten times as large aa the amount carried one year ago. There are quite a number of orders here which would- permit dealers to pay 19 cents but growers will not do business at that figure. A little contracting has. been done at 1415 cents. There Is very little selling to brewers in the Ea6t for the coming crop, "as they are not willing to pay a price which would show a profit of 15 cents on the Coast. Tnklma Hop Pool. YAKIMA. Wash.. May 14. (Special.) The holders of th Yakima hop crop of 1002 have Just closed a deal, pooling all the hops of this valley with holders of hops of other parts of this state and of Oregon. It Is said that 95 per cent of the holders have Joined In the pool to force up prices or to keep prices from being forced down. Thet;e are 3300 bales In Yakima in the hands of the growers. FIftecn-Cent Hop Contract. SALEM, Or., May 14. (Special.) J. and S. Coleman, of Salem, have sold to Benjamin Schwarz & Sons 10,000 pounds of hops of the crop of 1903, at 15 cents per pound. Potato Meal to Replace Flonr. In February last, in Berlin, an exhibition was held of various articles obtained from the potato. The principal aim was to popularize the flour obtained from that vegetable. The Emperor of Germany visited the exhibition and manifested considerable Interest In the subject, and at present this foodstuff Is be ing experimented with by the ministry of war. . Potato meal Is said to be 15 per cent cheaper than rye flour and It Is recommended as an -admixture to the latter or to wheat flour. The. bread thus made Is stated to retain Its newness for from two to three weeks, while the flavor .Is unobjectionable. The addi tion of 15 per cent potato meal Is recommended for the bread served to the Army and marine. At the exhibition a variety of pastry con taining from 10 to 75 per cent of potato flour, was distributed xratls to visitors, and the articles were generally consumed on the spot, apparently with relish. Polk County Wool Pool. DALLAS. Or.. May 14. (Special.) The Polk County "VYoolgrowers Association Is meeting with fine success, and from pre:nt indications the pool of wool will be as large, if not larger, than any other In the "Willamette Valley. From present Indications there will t at least 200,000 pounds offered to the high est bidder In the near future. The wool will be received by the association in the south part of the county at X. M. Simpson's ware house and the Southern Pacific warehouse at Independence. In the north end of the county, it will be received at Ballston. Perrydale, Mc Coy and Sheridan, and In the central part of the county at Dallas. The association will hold a meeting next Saturday afternoon, for the purpose of signing members and getting ready to dispose of the 1903 clip. Strawberries nnd Oranges. Plenty of California berries came up by express yesterday and as the market was Tare. they moved promptly at $1.00. Receipts of Oregon berries were light, only nine crates arriving from Dillard. A car of large oranges arrived In the forenoon. Regular sizes are very scarce. Since the California Fruit Agency took charge of the orange business In South ern California, a smaller supply has been com ing, to the North, the bulk of shipments going to Eastern cities. This has been the salva tion of many of the orangegrowers, but It has produced a scarcity and much inconvenience in the Northwest. Sasrar Is Firm. The sugar market has suddenly shown great strength and prospects are good for an ad vance any day. The New York market for re fined sugar yesterday went up 5 cents per 100 pounds, making the price of standard granulated there $4.85. Eastern Crop Ontloolc Returns from Modern Miller correspondents covering the principal "Winter wheat states of the central region, in reply to a special ln eulrx regarding the condition ot "Winter whew and extent of damage Vy 'unfavorable weather, fly or frost Indicate that In Illinois and Mis souri the crop' Is the poorest. The plant has deteriorated . greatly In both of these states, especially in the southern section, and claims of damare from 5 to 33 per cent are made. To the cold, wet Spring is this -unfavorable change generally ascribed, though In Illinois the hesslan fly Is claimed to have worked In Jury. Reports from Ohio and Indiana gener ally show excellent conditions and there are few claims of damage. South of the Ohio River conditions arc good. Kansas reports slight deterioration through dry cold weather, but no frost damage. In the Southwest terri tories and In Texas the crop suffered from drouth, but late rains have been beneficial and an Improvement Is noted In Oklahoma and to the Indian Territory. PORTLAND MARKETS.

Balllsh Iron Report Prodaces Better Tone at Opening; of Trading Gold for Argentina, NEW YORK, May 14. The board room traders la stocks thought this morning they saw a brighter outlook and they started to bid up prices )n an exceedingly cautious man ner.. They demonstrated to their own satis faction that stock was for sale at the higher level. So they gave up the attempt to lift the market. "When they attempted to sell, they found a very light demand and a yielding market. The professional traders are quite as cautious, however, on the short side as on the long side, in which they find It difficult to buy stocks at the lower levels. During the last hour today, there was a spilling out of long stock by the tired holders grown dis gusted with ths lethargy of fhe market. This selling movement was not of large volume, but It was still In progress when the market closed, making It weak and at about the low est. The rather brighter view of things taken this morning was principally due to the tone of the weekly review of the Iron trade by the leading authority In that trade. Its statistics show that production is going on at a tre mendous rate, April's high record promising to be eclipsed by that for May. Notwithstand ing this, stocks on hand were appreciably less on May 1 than on April 1. It Is pointed out also that the founders have made large committments for which they are still uncov ered, so that In the opinion of this authority a rush is bound to come. But It Is added. "It remains to be seen at what price the dead lock will be broken," The "United States Steel stocks and those of Independent companies were notably firm In response to this showing. But further price concessions in pig Iron were reported during the day, and the unstable conditions In the Iron market had Us Influ ence In the late break In prices. This morning's report of a possible adjust ment of the labor difficulty on the Great North- em system was a cheering Influence. But railroads In the Northwest were notably weak afterward. St. Paul In fact, led the lata de cline with a drop before finding a purchaser for a single hundred shares. The announcement ot an export of $1,000,000 la gold to Argentina was unfavorable, taken In connection with other developments In the foreign exchange situation. Although the open market rate ot discount Is declining in Lon don, the retention of the Bank of England rate was a disappointment. The lowering of the price of gold in the London market from the level of the recent bid by the Bank of Eng land., necessary to prevent the absorption of the market supply for other account, shows that the bank authorities desire to test their ability to conserve their gold supply In a nor mal market before venturing to reduce the discount rate. A drop of 1 centime In the Paris rate showed some renewed pressure upon London, which Increases the probability of fur ther shipments from New York. The state ment of our foreign trade for April was a disappointment, the Increase In exports being over that of last year, but proved to be only nominal, while the value of the Imports has risen nearly $12,000,000. with a resulting re duction of the favorable balance of trade. The unremitting activity in cotton speculation con duces to keep alive the solicitude over the foreign exchange situation. The bond market was quite broad but Irreg ular.

IROX AND STEEL TRADE. Furnace Statistics Shovr an Immense Production. NEW YORK, May 14. Reviewing the iron and steel markets, the Iron Age saysr Our monthly blast-furaaco statistics show that production 'Is going on at a tremendous rate, and that the May production should reach 1.000.000 gross tons. The surprising and most significant fact, however. Is that the stocks reported, which do not Include the steel works using their own pig, show a decline from 170,773 tons on April 1. to 162,742 tons on May 1. It may be Interesting to note that of the total production in April of 1.608.431 tons of anthracite and coke Iron. 945,235 tons was produced by the steel works. These figures are eloquent proof of the fact that the considerable consumption of pig Iron Is taking not alone our enormous production, but also the current Im portations. Yet consumers are holding off, particularly In the foundry trade, and their attitude seems Justified to some extent by the fact that such prices had gone to an unnatural figure, from which they have been and are still receding. Last Tear leading Interests in the South made a frantic but Ineffective effort to hold down the market on the basis of $12.50 for No. 2 foundry Iron at Birmingham. Now some of them are struggling to bold values at $17.50 when outside Interests are selling down to $15.50. Another element is that a large part of the new capacity which has entered the market Is that of the steel companies, which will cut down their outside purchases. This puts pres sure on the Bessemer furnaces of the Central West, which may be expected to turn to the foundry trade for relief. On tho other hand, the sellers may point with confidence to the tremendous consumption on the part of the foundries, andto the fact that. In spite of large commitments for castings, the foundries have not covered. Reports have been circulated in Wall street concerning a sudden break In billets In Pitts burg. There is no truth In them. There Is still a scarcity of steel In the Pittsburg mar ket. As a matter of fact, the steel market In Pittsburg has become a very restricted and un important affair. The great mills either roll their own steel or have slldlng-scale contracts with tho great steel works which gives them the metal at much lower .prices than those quoted ' In the market. The Eastern market, with Its larger number of Independent rolling mills, which must buy steel. Is more Important. These are suplled by the domestic steel works or by Importers of foreign steel, who are still receiving Inquiries. The price In the tidewater market has been $28 to $23.50 for both foreign and domestic for some weeks, with a fair amount ot tonnage being placed. EASTERN LIVESTOCK. .

May 14. Another new record for the season was established in the cotton market today. The big feature of the day was the price made by July, In the last half hour of trading; 11 cents. In the same time, August sold at 10.73 cents. May made a new record of 11.42 cents, and spot cotton was quoted at 11.60 cents. These prices were the highest in 12 or 13 years, and added to this, the transactions were of enormous volume. At times, the scene on the floor was one of the greatest disorder, and the rush of the covering demand threw the pit Into a demoral ized condition'. At the opening of the market, trading was by far the most active ot the sea son and on the upward rush May sold at 11.40c, July at 10.90c and August at 10.67c all new records. The Liverpool reports gave warning that the day would bo a lively one, as sales -ot spot cotton there reached a full dollar a bale high er than yesterday. Liverpool stocks aro smaller than for a great many years, and the consumption of American cotton Is at record figures. The total amount of cotton which Is now here available for delivery, on May contracts, is 89,520 bales, which has & market value at the current price of about $58 per bale, or equivalent to a total valuation of nearly $5,200,000. The total amount of cotton now here of all kinds, by running count.. Is 120,000 bales against 58,000. on April 15. At the present market price, about $3,000,000 worth of actual cotton will change hands during the closing deal in the May option. Metal Markets. NEW YORK, May 14.

On a wild and Irregular opening in the cotton market today, the July options went to 12c, selling 21 points up from the close yesterday. August advanced 20 and September 11. 'The advance was caused by sensational reports from Liverpool. Local shorts became frightened and eagerly bought every contract. In spite of the heavy profit taking of the bulls, prices were kept well above the closing of yesterday throughout the morning, and with the stopping of liquidation showed a disposition to climb higher.
