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.

auction sales today numbered 14,155 bales;

spirited. Medium merinos were la strong de
mand for Germany and several parcels were
taken for America. Crossbreds were In large
supply and they were eagerly purchased by
the home. Continental and American buyers
at the highest prices paid during the series.
In some cases 20 to 23 per cent above the
March series. Withdrawals were frequent, ow
ing to the high limits of sellers.

SPILLING OF LONG STOCK
CAUSES
EASIER CLOSE OF SEW
YORK MARKET.
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. Total sales. par value, $2,550,000.
United States 2s coupon advanced H per cent
on the last call.

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.

COTTON" MAKES A BIG JUMP.
Prlcca at Jfevr Ttorlc the Highest in
Twelve Years.
NEW YORK. 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.

JTevr Orleans Market AVlia.
NEW ORLEANS. 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.
