Newspaper Page TextTHE MORNING OREGONIAN, FRIDAY. AUGUST 21, 1903. 13 WHEAT SALES SLOW Millers Are Not Getting All They Need. BUT ARE KOLDIKG PRICES UP Ko Grain Tet Bought for Export Weatber la Unfavorable for Frnnea Local Produce Quotations. The wheat movement In the Interior Is not very active yet, but as soon as fanners and ihlppers come to an understanding as to prices, there -will be plenty of grain to change hands. A few lots are being said up the country at the prices now prevailing, miners talcing tbo wheat. These buyers are having difficulty In Ailing their requirements. even at the high figures offered, as the majority of farmers in the Inland Empire believe wheat is worth fully 75 cents there and are holding for that price. Until the milling demand Is satisfied and millers cease buying, quotations are bound to continue high. The Impression prevails pr.H pw.u. unusual quantity of among farmers that an wheat will be home ground this season and some of the millers have stated that they will Increase their output, but It Is believed by grain exporters that the amount of flour to be shipped this season will not exceed the average .output. Thero Is a good Oriental demand for flour at the moment with but little offering:, and consequently no new busi ness of importance being worked, shipments now under way being on old orders. The early activity in this line was no doubt due to the Impression that a war between Japan and I Russia was Impending, and thero Is reason to believe that the Japanese government made J some Heavy purcnases oi nour in me eariy part of the Summer, but since the war scare has blown over, the trade prospects have con- ceauently diminished. There considerations lead grain shippers to believe there will be plenty of wheat offered for export before the season has far advanced and that at figures at which foreign business can be profitably worked. At the present time wheat is quoted In this market at least 5 cents above the export value. Local quotations yesterday were steady. Chicago snowed a de cline of and features at Liverpool were i lower. San Francisco was also weaker. SOT GOOD FOR PRUNES. Warm Weather Canned the Fruit to Drop, DALLAS. Or.. Aug. 20. (Special.) The hot weather for the past few days has been hailed with satisfaction by the hopgrowers. for 1 has checked the spread of vermin and bright ened the prospects for a clean crop; but among the prune men there is no such spirit of re joicing. Prominent orchardUts In this vicin ity, who have made a careful study of ex isting conditions, say that the heat has al' ready done great damage to the growing fruit on the low lands. A great amount of fruit Is droppinc from the trees, and that which re mains Is making slow growth. It Is the gen eral opinion that the prunes will bo mueh smaller than usual, even though cool or rainy weather should follow later In the season. In dividual estimates differ, and many grow ers report no damage whatever, but It is the general opinion that the crop la Polk County this year will fall considerably below an ave- lage yllfi. JAPAN VS. CEYLON TEA. Indian Product Getting a Hold on American Trade. The Kobe Herald of Juno 10 ays that since tbo opening of the tea season this year the market for common grades of tea has been very quiet and buyers have been very few. This state of affairs Is due to the fact thai a considerable quantity of green tea In lmita tlon of Japan tea has been chipped from Cey lon to the United States and Canada, and it Is being sold at lower rates than the genuine Japan tea, with a view to ousting the latter from the market. The proJuotlon of green tea in India last year was only 0,009,000 pounds; this year it U estimated at between 12.000,000 and 15,000,000 pounds, while it is Intended to Increase that quantity to 40,000,800 pounds. If possible It is impossible for Japan tea to compete with Indian green ta. in point of price, so that it Is expected, says the HeraM, that the commoner brands of Japan tea may be entirely deleted from the United States and Canadian markets In the oourse ef three or four years. Potatoes Need Rntn. SALEM, Or Aug. 20. Special.) J. M. Kyle, a Salem produce buyer, who has been through the farming district around Salem In the last few days, cays that the otato crop Is very much In need of rain and that un less a heavy shower oomes txm the crop will be short.

REACTION IS, STILL ON LATE POWERFUL SUPPORT LACK ING IX STOCK JLUIKET. General Belief la That a Period of Dullness and SIurkIsU Fluctu ations Is at Hand. NEW TORK. Aug. 20. There was more sell ing of stocks this mcmlng cf the same char acter as that of yesterday and little resist ance was offered. Prices In consequence de clined easily during the morning, and effect ive inroads were made upon the sharp ad vances from the low level cf the year which had been achieved last week. The reaction has run to about C points In Rock Island and Amalgamated, which were the late leaders of the upward movement and which have, in turn, led the downward movement. The very large volume of trading In Rock Island at the top level caused a belief that a large dis tribution of stock was effected by Insiders at that level and has given rise to the supposi tion in some quarters that the general market was under manipulation to facilitate this op eration. There was no sign any longer of the powerful support and resistance to decline which helped the market upwards In the first stages of the recovery. This was accepted cy tne purely speculative contingent as an intimation that the great banking institutions and Influential capitalists do not favor a further advance in prices nor an actlvo speculation at this tiro. There Is an expectation In consequence that period of dullness and sluggish fluctuation lies before the market. The rate at which the recovery was proceed ing and the extent of tho speculative comrnlt- raontc which were made seemed to arouse ap prehensions of renewed entanglements which the coming requirements upon the money mar. ket might mr.ke hazardous. Special signifi cance was attached to the decline of r Jn Amalgamated Copper, of 2 points In St. Paul and 4 points in Consolidated Gas, owing to the popular conception In Wall street that the course of these particular stocks represent the attitude of Standard Oil capitalists In the mar ket and on the flnanrinl situation. The money situation is carefully watched from day to day for the development of the Interior demand for currency. Shipments to the Interior have been on a larger scale this week than last and the balance may turn against New York at any time. Call loan rates continue very easy, but the time money market Is hardening appreciably. The banks point out that It Is their purpose to conserve their resources for regular commercial nteas and the quoted rates represent the terms for those purposes. Rates otherwise are a mat' ter of private exchange. The stock market contingent is still Inclined to disappointment over the doubts expressed as to currency leg islation at the coming session of Congress. The day's movement in the grain and cot ton markets were favorable to clocks, tne de cline in prices there Indicating Improved chances for the crops. The tone of senll' ment In the iron trade was more cheerful today, reports indicating that the downward course of prices has cauaed some lncreaaea demand at last. The attendance at the Stock Exchange was reduced by vlrits to the yacht races, and after the race was under way the Interest on the floor was diverted to the bulletins of the race. "With the decrease In the activity of the mar ket, a largo short Interest was left unco ered, which showed gathering concern as t the I day progressed. Prices recovered steadily on I small dealings and closed arm at aooui ins best of the day.

Trading In' wheat was of a light character and a nervous feeling prevailed. Favorable weather In the Nortn- iy est, together with Indifferent cables, caused commission-house telling at the start, and opening prices were weak. September being down c at SO Vic Everything seemed to favor tie bears, outside markets being lower, while primary receipts were large and crop advices favorable. With little demand, the market gradually declined until September had touched 70Hc, when buying orders became more numerous and a rally ensued. The lat ter part of tho session was dull and feature less, but prices held about steady. Sep tember closed i6:ic lower at 8OiQS0 Vic- There was only a small trade In corn, and prices were lower under the Influence of con tinued favorable weather In the est.

Wheat opened easier, but closed steadier with trade, quiet. Oats were la larger receipt, but steady. Flour, mlllfeeds and hay were firm.

METAL TIIAIJE REVIEW. Redaction la Price of Sonthern Foundry Iron. NEW TORK. Aug. 20. Undue Importance has been attached to the announcement that the Associated Southern Furnace Companies have reduced th price of No. 2 foundry from $13.50 to $12. Birmingham, says the Iron Age. As In previous reductions In the offi cial price, the Associated Furnacemen have again merely recognized the settling of the market on the part of the Independent pro ducers. For some weeks quotations on South ern foundry iron have been based on a $1: rate The volume of business has Increased heavily of late, but some of it has been placed under the rate now named by the Associated Furnacemen, The Chicago market has been particularly active. Sales, of malleable Iron at Chicago thus far during- the month are placed at 10u,- wo tons, and oasic iron is in better demanu. with negotiations pending- on 15,000 to 20.000 tons. Cincinnati and St. Louis report in creased business. Eastern markets are like wise active, but Pittsburg reports quiet con ditions In pig iron. Officials of the United States Steel Corpora tlon take a hopeful view of the situation. They stats that the subsidiary companies have as larce a tonnace on their books as at tha corresponding time last year. The tube and wire nail business Is especially good. Tho closing of some departments of the Homestead worjis oi me viraegie sieei company is cue to the oresslmr necessity for reDalrs. as these departments have been operated to their ut most for more than two years. Sheet trade has for some time been less act ive, but It Is stated that no more sheet mills are now Idle than usual at this season In or dinary years. Tbo structural trade is lighter than during the Spring months, mainly on account of strikes in the building- trades. The corporation Is not negotiating for Bes semer pig iron, and no purcnases wm ce made for some time. Car shortage Is beginning to be felt In var ious sections, particularly In the West and South, and fears are expressed that last Fall's experience may be repeated to some extent.

Auy. 20. (Special.) The total number of shareholders of the Union Pacific to date Is 14,100. At the dividend period in April it waa 12,092. This is an increase of 110S within three months, or an average of 370 per month. But these figures, however, do not accurately show the extent of the present Investment buying, nor do they show the ac tual number of shareholders, because -the dividends on the common and preferred stocks are paid at the same time, and as many of the preferred shareholders own both common and preferred stock, their checks are made out for tho lump sum. Because of this, it Is not possible to state accurately the number o shareholders. At the office of the transfer company, new accounts are coming In at th average rate of 40 a day. This means 240 new stockholders a week, 0C0 a month and 11,520 a year, pro vided the ratio of Increase be maintained that long. It Is conservative to say that the number of shareholders by the next dividend period will aggregate 16.C00, though that many will not receive dividends, as the transfer books will close August 20. The holders of the com mon stock are Increasing more rapidly than the preferred. A dividend of 2 per cent on each Issue has been declared for October. There are , about 4000 shareholders of the $100,000,000 of preferred stock, of which $00,- 550,500 Is outstanding. The holders of the common stock number about 10,000. The com mon stock authorized Is $135,550 500, of which $108,761,200 Is outstanding. Investment seekers who are on the hunt for bargains, and who were not disturbed either by the low prices or the threatened litigation, have been attracted to Union Pa clfls by Its dividend record since the panic and receivership of 1S03. In 1803 the pre ferred stock paid dividends of per cent; In 1SS9. 3 per cent; In 1000, 1902 and the present year, 4 per cent, while the common stock paid 3 per cent In 1000 and 4 per cent since. The high and low of the stock for 1002 and 1003 was 113 and 6Si. a drop of 45 points. At the same time the Union Pa cific convertible 4s. held by hundreds of in vestors, declined, the general slump belnc from 113 to 01K. a loss of 22 points and a hrlnkage In value of $10,350,000. Analysis of Union Pacific business for 1002. compared with 1901, and Its prospects for the present year, was evidently satisfactory to In vestment seekers. For 1903 Its total operating expenses and taxes aggregated $25,550,220, while Its receipts over operating expenses were $21,941,053. In 1902 It paid $S,187.2SS In divi dends, compared with $7,0SO,O70 In 1901. Its surplus over fixed charges In 1902 was $14,532,- 157 compared with $12,553,505 the year before and Its balance of surplus after paying divi dends was $0,315,960 last year, and $4,554, 037 In 1901. liiiilrond Cnrsliop Changes. BUTTE. Mont., Aug. 20. A special to tho iliner from Livingston says: It Is stated here today on what seems to be good authority that some Important changes in the management of the North ern Pacific shops in this city will take place at an early date. It Is stated that Master Mechanic W. S. Clarkson will be promoted to the superlntendency of motive power over the territory tributary to the shops in Livingston. Mr. Clarkson will be superintendent not only over the Livingston shops but those located at division points within his ter ritory- The Livingston shops are among the largest in the Northwest.
