SLUMP IN POULTRY
Receipts Too Heavy for Lo
cal Requirements.
FARMERS' CLEAN1NG-UP SEASON
Ontlook for the TTianksgrlving; Tur
key Market Heavy Arrivals of
Cantern Efiffir Local Prod
uce Quotations.
The expected slump In the poultry market
has come. It. is a little later than usual, but
It Is here, and prices are well-nigh demoral
ized. It Is customary lato In the Summer.
when harvest work Is done and hopplcklng is
over, for farmers to round up their chickens
and consign them to the market. In that way
they save the trouble and expense of caring
for and feeding the fowls In the Fall and "Win
ter months. Another reason for the heavy re
ceipts Is the fact that Spring chickens have
reached tholr greatest weight, and growers
are, therefore, anxious to turn them 'Into cash.
Some- of the Springs now coming in are larger
than the old hens. Prom all indications, the
present weakness of the market will continue
for several days, as it Is not likely that re
ceipts will fall oil for a week, at least. "When
cool weather comes, a turn for the better may
be expected. Trade now is confined almost
entirely to old and Spring chickens. Turkeys
ore not on the market In any large numbers,
but prices aro fairly steady for what are offer
ing. An Eastenj produce paper publishes reports
on the poultry crop from 400 different sections
of the country. Briefly summarized, those re
ports show an ample supply of broilers at prob
ably the tame prices ruling a year ago, while
turkeys" will be scarce and probably higher.
It Is believed high turkey prices will react on
the poultry market, cutting off the demand
which will swing to hens and large broilers,
thereby stiffening prices on these In the face of
large supplies. The higher price range of beef,
pork and "mutton promises to continue through
out the "Winter. This will. In itself, help to
keep poultry supplies moving rapidly. It will
also assist in keeping current prices too high
for any extensive operations among freezers.
Unless broilers get down to a profitable basis
the large freezers will put away only the
choicest selections and in limited quantities.
The general outlook among "Western poultry
operators Is not a pleasing one, viewed from a
financial point of view. In other seasons when
the large storage houses had plenty of money
at command at low rates small operators were
Invited to store on liberal advances made by
the 6torage houses. This will not be the case
this season. All the heavy storing Will be
done by the large operators who have their
own houses and their own marketing arrange
ments. The egg market has been undergoing a
change in the last few days. The firmness
that has prevailed for a month has given way
to easiness under ample receipts of Oregon
eggs and car-lot arrivals .from the East. re
gon ranch were quoted yesterday at 24 cents
and the best Eastern were offering at the
same price. Other fresh Eastern were quoted
at 23i cents and Apfcll eggs at 22&23 cents.
Offer for IIopn Refused.
CHEHALIS. Sept. 25. (Special.) John
Dobson was yesterday offered 25 cents for
his hops. The offer was refused. Mr. Dobson
Is net yet through picking his yard, which
is the largest in the Chehalis Valley. A num
ber of growers have finished picking, but
there are a few yards that are unfinished.
Growers generally have an excellent product
this year, owing to careful spraying.
Valley "Wheat Declines.
CORVALL1S. Sept. 25. (Special.) "Wheat
has dropped In the local market to 71 cents.
Early in the season 75 cents was bid by the
mills, and at that price four-ilfths and prob
ably more of the crop was sold.

SHEEP Best wethers, $2.75; mixed sheep,
$2.50.
Chehnlfs Cattle Market Weak.
CHEHALIS, Sept 25. (Special.) The cattle
market Is weak in this section. Henry Tilly,
a well-known buyer, accounts for this largely
on account of the fact that the packing houses
in Seattle have been shipping In stock from
the Middle West, and that Eastern Washing
ton stockmen have been required to let go of
their marketable output earlier than they ex
pected, owing to the Government Inspectors
cutting their range fences. Fairly good stock
is worth from 2 to 3 cents here, and there
Is little to bo had that is of good quality.
Eastern Sheep-Buyers Contracting.

MEASURESOF PROTECTION
STRONG INFLUENCES BACK OF THE
STOCK MARKET.
Threatened Demoralisation Incites
Bfforts to Conntcract It List
Closes at an Advance.
NEW YORK, Sept 25. Yesterday's late
events in the stock market caused serious
apprehension that disastrous results might
be witnessed today. As- Is often the coso in
speculative matters, the threatened harm
Incited efforts to counteract it There were
strong protective measures adopted In the
stock market to check the precipitate de
cline In prices which threatened the violent
shrinkage of credits. There were feverish
and erratic fluctuations during the greater
part of the morning, but the supporting
measures Anally proved of effect and the
market quieted down and became steady at
a level of values substantially above last
night There was some settlement again in
the final dealings, but the pressure was
again resisted, and the market closed
steady and dull, but below the best
The liquidation was continued with llttlo
force this morning, especially in the United
States Steel securities. Both classes of
stocks and the second-mortgage bonds
openod at new low record's and kept the
early market unsettled, in spite of support
by powerful financial Interests at other
points. "When the fact developed that the
buying to support the market did not fol
low the advance In prices to any extent, the
bears made a determined drive in an at
tempt to regain the upper hand. They cen
tered the attack upon United States Steel
preferred, apparently equipped with the
knowledge of the existence of a consider
able stop-loss order In that stock at about
62. Its movement after touching that point
proved 'the accuracy of the bears' informa
tion or surmise, the price smmplng to C0U,
with a rapid recovery, however, on cover
ing by shorts. The common stock touched
10 and the bonds 70 during the day. The
general market weakened again In response
to this drlve; but prices generally got
slightly below last night's level. The un
covered bears took alarm at this evidence
of effective support and bought largely to
cover their shorts. The principal actlvo
stocks afterwards got from 1 to 2 points
over lost night
There were wide declines on tho stock
exchange and In tho outside market in some
securities for which there Is not an active
"market but speculative sentiment on the
whole was considerably improved as a re
sult of the day's events. The firmness of
the late market was helped by the prelim
inary estimates of the week's currency
movement, which promise a morely nom
inal change in the cash holdings of the
bands. The large shipments of currency to
tho South and a small loss on Subtrcasury
operations proper were slightly more than
offset by receipts from other sources. In
cluding new gold. The heavy liquidation In
the stock market gives fair promise of some
reduction In the loan Item and the deposit
liabilities. Money was rather firmer, how
ever, today, both for time loans and on call,
and a further fall In New York exchange
at Chicago brought the market nearer to
the point for shipping currency West There
was a sharp break in sterling exchange,
which was partly In response to the firmer
money market here. There was also a
larger supply of commercial bills In the ex
change market It Is reported that some
of the Interior banks ore selling demand
bills of exchange here against purchase of
grain and cotton bills. The week's exports
of wheat show an Increase of more than
2,000,000 bushels over the previous week,
and the decline In the cotton market, it is
believed, will induce an increased foreign
demand.
The bond market was quite active and
Irregular. Total sales, par value, $3,925,
000. United States 2s declined per cent
on the last call.

CHICAGO WHEAT MARKET.
Good Trading: and Steady Close nt
Slight Advance.
CHICAGO. Sept 25. At the opening there
was good buying by local shorts, with some
demand for the long account on strong out
side markets and steady cables. December
was up c lo c at 70c to 77c, and soon ad
vanced to 77c. with a marked bullish senti
ment. After holding steady at the advance
for a time, the market gradually eased off
on liquidation, due to favorable aspects In the
striko situation at Minneapolis and favorable
reports from abroad. The close was steady,
however, with the loss entirely regained? a:
77o for December, or 8c above yester
day's final figures.
Corn was firmer at the outset by covering
of tho provision people, and showed a sub
stantial advance over the opening. Cash and
commission houses were also good buyers and
helped the upward tendency. Before noon,
however, liquidation on the advance brought
a reaction and the markot lost all of the early
Improvement December closed at 46c, a
gain of c
The oats market was fairly steady during
the most of the session, but in the last hour
weakened with otter grains. December closed
a shade better at 37c
Selling for outside account In sympathy
with lower prices for hogs at the yards gave
the provisions list an easier feeling, but the
market was saved from a marked decline.
October pork closed 5c lower and lard and
ribs off 10c

TRADE IS CONSERVATIVE
FALXi AND WINTER BUYING IiESS
THAN IiAST YEAR'S.
Rest Reports Are Fro mi the North,
vrest, Southwest, and South
Rank Clearings.
NEW YORK, Sept 23. Bradstreet's tomor
row will say:
Iteports of conservatism and even caution in
Fall and Winter trade testify to the absence
of the spur of Insistent demand which a year
ego gave the selling side such an advantage
T.he few car shortage complaints is evidence
alike of -the later movement of crops and of
discrimination in orders by consumers.
The quletlngyof' demand has become more
manifest In Iron and steel, where plans for
restriction of furnace output are being dis
cussed and finished products lag, and in an
thracite coal, whare a number of collieries
have been put on shorter time. Building ac
tivity at New York has not been resumed In
full, strikes of vesselmen on the lakes retard
shipments and advanced freight rates, and
high prices for cotton, with lack of corre
spondingly higher prices for finished products,
check full resumption of operations. Railway
earnings aro still slightly favorable, those
roads reporting for the first half of September
showing a gain of 10 per cent over a year
ago.
Relatively the best reports come from parts
of the Northwest due to better weather and
crop conditions; the Southwest, which has es
caped crop Injury, and the South, where, de
spite crop delay and declining cotton prices,
the general outlook is still gootf. Eastern
advices are of fair trade.
Lumber and building materials are not so
active as earlier expected at the East Lum
ber is also rather quieter at the West

RAILWAY EARNINGS SHOW GAINS.
Traffic Blockade Occur to Some
Extent.
NEW YORK. Sept. 25.-R. G. Dun & Co 's
weekly review of trade tomorrow will say"
Notwithstanding several unsatisfactory fea
tures, the volume of trade continues large and
the distribution of merchandise taxes ship
ping facilities. Announcement of a concert
ed effort to trestrict production of pig iron
Indicates that supplies have begun to fluctu
ate. Railroad earnings continue to show
gains. September returns thus far exceeding
last year's by 8.7 per cent, and those of 1901
by 17.2 per cent. Traffic blockades occcur to
some extent, although the movement of farm
products is still unseasonably small.
New labor controversies have begun, but a
number of serious troubles have been averted,
and on the whole, the number of men Idle
voluntarily has dimlnshed. Enforced idleness
in the Iron and steel Industry Is more than
offset by the resumption of spindles at cotton
mills, and there is great activity at footwear
factories, although the margin of profit is
narrow.
Lower prices for tho leading agricultural
staples Indicate a general belief in Improved
crop prospects. Jobbing trade Is still mak
ing good comparisons with previous years,
and, while the zenith has been passed In Fall
dry goods, it is still a satisfactory season. At
many Important points the weather has been
more propitious for retail trade and collec
tions are fairly prompt, considering the
tightness of the money mantel.
Failures this week number 232 in the United
States, against 207 last year, and 19 In Can
ada, compared with 32 a year ago.
EFFECT OF CROP NEWS.
Checks Rctnil and Jobhlujr Demand
for Seasonable Merchandise.
NEW YORK. Sept. 23. Telegraphic ad
vices to the International Mercantile Agen
cy from trade centers throughout the
United States are summarised as follows:
Rain, low temperatures and lack of exact
knowledge as to the extent of damage to
cotton, corn and Spring wheat have tended
to check the retail and Jobbing demand for
dry goods and other seasonable merchan
dise at Chicago, St Paul, St. Louis, Buffalo,
Dallas and New Orleans, and collections
are Interfered with. Less In this direction
Is noted at Boston, New York and Balti
more. Some uneasiness has been felt
among- leaders at Philadelphia, owing to
present and contemplated restrictions of
production of iron, steel and anthracite
coal. Leading dealers and financiers state
that more conservative dealings In general
lines are looked for, with increased costs of
doing business, decroased profits compared
with last year, with the likelihood of many
merchants declining to anticipate require
ments as fully as a year ago.
Cotton Is now seen to be a month late,
with moro unfavorable weather reports.
Spring wheat In Minnesota and Dakota
has been soaked, and much will grade low
er. The damage so caused in the three
states is placed at $15,000,000.
Drouth has injured the North Carolina to
bacco. California and Oregon hops will amount
,to 125.000 bales, against 139,000 last year.
The Quality of the former is superior; of
the latter medium. California's wine crop
is 20 per cent larger than last year.
The most pessimistic opinions as to Indian
corn do not place the" crop at less tmta
1.900,000.000 bushels.
The Industrial situation Is rather worso
than better. Thirty or more pig Iron fur
naces will shut down between October and
January 1, reducing capacity 75,000 tons
weekly. Railways are buying fewer rails,
cars and less bridge material. Four an
thracite coal companies will mine on half
time during the rest of the year. Wire and
rails load Inactive In steel.
Thorc Is a heavy demana for funds from
merchants and manufacturers, which the
banks are meeting freely. An unusual num
ber .of small banks are being organized
throughout the South.
Both Montreal and Toronto report a fall
ing off In demand at the Northwest Gravo
Sears are experienced over tho effects of the
Consolidated vLako Superior failure on the
situation at Sault Ste. Marie. The Domin
ion will send many thousand dollars abroad
for rails if the big Soo steel company la not
revived.
The Pacific Coast salmon pack Is said to
be a failure.
