I THE HOBNIXG OREGONIAN, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 5, 1903. CANNED FISH HIGH Opening Prices on. Salmon Are at an Advance. DUE TO SHORT PACK OH SOUND Quotation on Slackercl and Sar dines Advanclni? Local Prod uce and Jobbing; Prices Ore son "Wool in tlie East. The -salmon market is characterized hy decided flrmncs3-and a material advance In prices over last year. Opening prices o Bockeyea are announced as follows": One pound tails. $1.50; one-pound flats, $1.00; half-pound flats. 51. Columbia River chlnooks have been ad vancing; owing to the short pack of Puget Sound sockeyes. Packers are now holding tails at $1.35 1.40. Some of the canners on the lower rlverTiavo sold all their pack of Spring chlnooks, while others have prac tically disposed of all their one-pound flats. Prices of Alaska fish have not yet been named, but the announcement is expected dally. Advices from N'cw Tork Indicate that tho prices may be as high as $1.20 1.23. While the pack of Alaska .fish will be con siderably smaller than last year, there will still be a very fair output, but prices will without a doubt rule very high in sympathy with the strength in quotations on the Puget Sound and Columbia River packsr Taking the fish market the world over, tho prospects are for strong quotations for tho next two years. Not only Is there a big shortage in the canned fish pack on the Pacific Coast, but on the Eastern coast tho same conditions prevail. The catch of mack erel so far this season has been tho smallest In the past 20 years. "What mackerel have been caught are very large, so that they cannot be canned, neither are they of the right size to go to consumers at popular prices. The sardine pack along tho Eastern coast is much lighter this year than In former years, while the pack of Franco has been almost a complete failure for the past 'two years. There are very few French sardines offering, and these are at exceedingly high prices. Some Portuguese sardines have been offered in the place of the French article. These are also quoted high. "WHEAT LOWER IX PALO USE. Drop in Price Causes Farmers to Sell More Liberally. COLFAX, Sept. 4. (Special.) The price of wheat has dropped at Palouse country points from CS to Co cents for club, and from 71 to CS cents for bluestem. The fall in price has had the tendency to frighten farmers, and they are selling more liberally than hereto fore, bat none are selling their entire crops. The sales are generally of small lots, varying from a wagon load to 1000 bushels. Seymour Manning, agent for the Northwestern "Ware house Company, bought 30,000 bushels at va rious points in "Whitman County yesterday, ana it is estimated the total sales for the day In the county aggregated 100,000 bushels. Harvest work is making splendid progress since the rains of last week, and the weather Is ideal. It is estimated that from CO to 70 per cent of the grain in "Whitman County has been cut, and probably 30 per cent has been threshed. Little has been hauled to the warehouses, as farmers are too busy harvest ing to haul the grain to town. In "Western Whitman County harvesting is practically ended, and the yield from "Winona Junction west to the county line averaged about 18 bushels. East of there the yield Is better. Near Palouse, on the state line. Fall wheat Is yielding from 30 to 45 bushels per acre. No Spring wheat has been threshed in that locality yet, as harvest is later than in the western part. It is thought Spring wheat will average from 20 to 25 bushels In that locality. Tacoma Mills Buying; "Wheat. TACOMA "Wash., Sept. 4. Wheat reached a higher price yesterday than it has at any time within tho past three years. In tho afternoon bluestem was quoted at S3 cents and club at 82. cents. Receipts of wheat at this port are gradually growing larger and still they are very light for this season of the year. Millers are taking practically all the wheat that has reached Tacoma thus far. the prices being higher than exporters feel warranted in paying. Tho only deals being made among buyers are transactions between the exporters and millers, wherebv the former dispose of their high-priced wheat. Many inquiries are being received from South Africa, and it is likely that when I Prices are adjusted "with exporting values mat continent will share with Europe wheat , exported from Tacoma. A well-informed Ta coma wheat man says that not more than C.000.000 bushels of wheat will be exported from Tacoma this year, although he think that tho flour exportation will be the heavi- est In the history of tho port. Idaho Crop Report. The Idaho weekly crop bulletin says in part: Apples are doing well., and n n I less affected by pests than usual, though IBouio eiircme western localities report seri ous damage from this cause. A good crop of Crawford peaches is maturing in Western panels, ana trees aro wen laden with later varieties: in parts of Cassia nnri nA counties, high winds have blown much fruit Ixrom tne trees, and in some extreme south eastern localities fruit is shrunlron v shortage of water for irrigation. I .Harvest is making rapid progress in east ern counties, and In othor sections Is nearly complete, threshlnc Is ireneral. nnri to ins completion in some western districts; grain is yielding well in most Instances ex cept where there has been insufficient water; there Is some complaint of grain having Iueeu biieuea Dy wma in parts of Bannock county.

The fruit and vege table houses may be open until noon, but the grocers will be closed all day. Oregon "Wools in the East. The American Wool and Cotton Reporter of August 27 said: Oregon wools are quiet, thero being no very' large business put through since tho 2,000.000-pound sale of some weeks ago. A large Philadelphia worsted concern Is re ported to have taken about one-third of the Eastern Oregon clip. The Valley wools went quite largely to local mills. Oregon staple Is worth 53 55c clean, or about 17c in the grease; clothing wools sell at 15lGc In the grease according to what they are, costing clean, about 50c PORTLAND MARKETS. Grain. Flour. Feed. Etc The' wheat market continues active at firm prices, 80 cents for Club, and 84985. for Bluestem. Millers on the Sound, having more pressing wants, are paying more for early delivery. As the export -value of wheat Is not over 7S cents, it can bo seen that shippers arc not in the market. WHEAT Walla Walla, SOc; bluestem, 84 S5c; Valley. SlS2c.

Wool, unchanged DULL BUT VERY STRONG CLOSIXG CP OF SPECULATIVE AC COUNTS IX XEW YORK MARKET. Small "Volume of Transactions lor the Week Show "Waiting; Atti tude of Financial "World. NEW YORK, Sept. 4. Today's stock market was again excessively dull, but distinctly strong. Tho three days which will Intervene before trading will be resumed prompted tho closing up of speculative accounts, and the" fact that tomorrow is also a holiday in London emphasized this disposition. It is evident that the majority of outstanding accounts was on tho short side There was no other reason for the strength of the market, as the bulls were as unwilling to put out fresh commitments on the eve of the long holiday as were the bears. Atchaion was .the feature of the market, both as to the volume of dealings and the extreme advance of 2&, which easily distanced all other stocks. There were some very heavy bear accounts covered on the advance, which helped the upward movement, and gave grounds for the supposition that they were the subject of the movement. But the movement gave rise to some surmises of an accumulation on a large scale, possibly for purposes of control. Rock Island Interests 'were pointed to by the current rumors, and there seemed to be an effort to convey tho Impression that Penn sylvania and Harriman Interests were oppos ing or competing in this accumulation. . The Atchison movement had Eome sympa thetic effect on the general list, but the largest response was confined to the Southern and Southwestern corn and cotton carriers. Tho movement may have been In part a re flection of the Government report on cotton, which had a continued effect also In inducing liquidation in cotton. The corn market did not reflect any excess of confidence In that crop, and the report of frost in the Northwest gave rise to some fears that the cold would extend Into the corn belt. But the news of the con dition of that crop in the lower portions of the belt conduced to a growth of confidence In the safety of that portion of the crop, and also may have been an influence in the strength of Southwestern railroad stocks. 'The tone of the recently reported utterances of the Secretary of th6 Treasury on the gen eral business- and financial outlook had an encouraging effect on sentiment, and his ad vocacy of an emergcncycirculatlon stimulates the hopes of the financial district for such a measure. But the emphasis by the Secretary in his published statement on the deposits being made of Government money in the agri cultural districts had somewhat ;the effect of an admonition against speculative) uses of these funds. The forecasts of the currency movement of the week indicate a slight improvement in favor- of tho-Tfiterior, which, with tho week'a losses to the Subtreasury, show a probable decrease In reserve held by the banks of $3,5O0, 000. There have been some shipments to the South in connection with the cotton crop movement, but tho amount on balance would have been in favor of New York had It not been for the large movement to Boston, which seems to have amounted to more than $2,000, 000, and is attributed to a New York interest in copper affairs. The complexion of the loan Item is shrouded In the usual doubt. The closing was steady and very dull. Bonds were dull and very firm, and Gov ernment bonds 'continued to advance. Total sales, par value, $755, COO. The stock market has backed and filled dur ing the week on a small volume of dealings, reflecting clearly enough the highly profes sional character of the market, and the wait ing attitude of the financial world In general on the securities market outlook. Tho fate or the crops and the needs of the money market between now and the end of the year are the principal matters to be cleared up before any definite stand on the future prospects of se curities 'can be expected. The feeling of con fidence over the money outlook has gained force greatly. This was due in an important degree to the understanding that $40,000,000 of Government funds In the Treasury stood ready for deposit ,ln bank depositories; The inspiring effect of this assurance encourages some attempt to put up prices of stocks by an clement of professional speculators. But the banks and large controlling interests in the great properties whose shares make up the body of stock dealings appear to have frowned on these efforts as calculated to defeat the conditions of security which are growing up In tho money market. The relaxation of the money market was felt to be very Important for the continuance of business activity and prosperity. The premonitory symptoms of the Interior movement of currency have appeared this week, and it Is clear that the practical test of the country's money resources Is at hand. Trading In stocks will be likely to halt until the test is made. The Government report on cotton clears up one of the most Important elements of uncer tainty. This Is accepted as an assurance of a plentiful crop. The situation Is benefited not only by this assurance, but by -Its Influence In prompting the large liquidation of present speculative holdings of cotton, the promise of relief for the consumptive demands of manu facturers, and the encouragement to bankers to offer bills of exchange with assurance of a free movement of cotton later, with which to cover the obligations thus -assumed. The American demand on foreign money markets for exchange Is beginning to loom large In tne opinion of market managers. The advance In the Bank of England mini mum rate of discount from 3 to 4 per cent on Thursday was directed Immediately against Germany, which Is making very heavy requi sitions on the English gold supply at this time. But Germany's calling home of credits Is Indirectly Intended for tho American market. Conditions during the weeic promise normal progress In the corn crop, but there has not been the hot, forcing weather tending to cor rect the lateness of the crop and lessen Its danger from early frost, which has been hoped for. Furtive rumors of damaging frosts have already made their appearance, and the cer tainty that they will continue to circulate, wltii whatever basis, until the crop Is harvested serves to deter speculative commitments In stocks. Reports of Iron traac conditions show an excess of hopefulness, but there has been complaint of accumulation of steam sizes of anthracite and eome curtailment of products In consequence. Railroad earnings continue at a high level .and confidence of railroad of. ficlals In the future maintenance of traffic Is expressed. The market for railroad bonds is dull, but some slight investment absorption is reported. Government -bonds have risen in price In re sponse to tho expected need for additional holdings by the banks to serve as security for the increased Government deposits promised. Old and new 4s coupon advanced per cent; the new 4s registered 1 per cent, and the 2s and 3s, 1 per cent, as compared wltfe the closing call last week. I 5 f stocks.
