EW FEATURES IN PAST WEEK Wheat Market Quiet With No For eign Demand-Japanese Inquiry for FIourAdvance In Feed Produce Fluctuates. The change lor the worse. In-"weather condl- ons has had an adverse effect on city trade, pd country business will also Buffer to eome went iroin nan roaas, out uu nut 01 n Irs can only be looked -upon as temporary, a the whole business 'Is considered good, a. mparison with the trade of the first two eeks of last year showing satisfactory rc llts for the present period. The week under review has not been marked 7 special feature .In any department of com erce. The wheat market remains In a seml agnant condition. Flour Is in fair request i the Orient, and In good demand at home lllfeed Is generally higher. Hops .have ached such an elevation, that speculation is wising. In prunes the sentimental effect of x Increased Inquiry in the East stiffens the ews of local nolders. Certain lines of coun y produce have fluctuated within a! narrow nge. Turpentine and linseed oil have ad mced sharply, and package coffee is again lmblng upward. WHEAT Excitement in the wheat market confined to the Chicago pit. Efforts to oric a corner there have boosted up the price : May wheat to '82c, and the end appar ltly Is not yet. This purely speculative oyment has had no effect on the Pacific ' oa& markets, which continue to be gov mel by Liverpool. As long as there is no emcd for our wheat on the other side, local xporers -cannot be expected to advance their Ids, Which remain at 78c for club and 77c x tiiestem. With plenty of wheat offering ram Argentina and Australia, shippers here in ae no indications of immediate improve icntsa the market, unless Chicago gets high lougS to take our wheat. A difference of 30c ill d it, and as the market In the Palousft sdayls COc and Chicago a fraction over 02c, t cat be seen that the margin is almost aken'up. The shipping movement continues (low, only two cargoes having cleared this bonth A half a doten more vessels are un er etgagement to load here. Freights are lull and steady at 20s. ' I The effect of the war scare upon European fcarkets is thus described by J. W. Hush, of ondon, in the Northwestern Miller of the 13th ,The weather has become more seasonable. fclng dry and frosty, which helps to impart I better tone to tho wheat trade which has. I fact, been decidedly firm this week, with a I'rly good trade in spite of the holidays. He trts of damage by frost to the Argentine op the damage only Just discovered now at the crop is harvested have also had some rrect. but there is little doubt that the tained position of political Affairs In the Far list is tho principal cause of the recent In- lease In speculative activity. The general Union here Is that war is Inevitable unless iitsla "climbs down." an operation which, the Indian aj, is very difficult and very un Tcly. Fear, of subsequent complications, in le war a oca break out, , in wnlch lhls ooun . becausei of Us treaty . obligations -with. ipan, may do involved, nas induced a good bay people to Invest in wheat, the price of hlch is regarded In any case, as at a. suffl. kntlylow price in splto st the promised lundance In Argentina and Australasia. ram this last named country some extraor hary reports of the probable yield have been bclved. Tho previous ideas were that the lal Australasian crop might reach 5S.000.000 I 00,000.000 bushels, against the previous ree H In 1900 of S5.000.00a Now. however, it is berted. on semi-official authority at Sydney Id victoria, that the crop may reach SO, 000. b bushels, which would mean that the eur lis for export would be 45.000,000 bushels. krly Australian crop estimates, however, are Iry prone to be exaggerated, and it will be Ise to wait a month or two before forming ly decisive opinion. pur imports of wheat and flour In 1903 have Ully beaten all previous records., having pouniea to ii.sw.ooo quarters, against 25. KM in JOtcand 33.558,000 in 1001. In lite of these enormous Imports our Dort stocks I wheat and flour at the close of the year mi uot apparently exceea s,3UO,ooo quarters, talnst 1.S50.000 last year, and 2,250,000 In joi. this snows what an extraordinarily frge consumption of foreign wheat there has en in the past year, exceeding even that of Un Interesting statement showing -the United fcngdom's Imports of flour for 12-years, with e estimated home manufacture, is given bc- iv in sacks of ZS0 pounds (hundreds omitted): 1 Estimated Estimated I Imports, consumption, home mfg.. sacks. sacks. sacks. 3 0.. 0 8.225 7.000 0.030 &01C 0.175 S.400 - 7.472 S.528 7.325 7.653 8,103 8,850 37.500 37.100 30,050 36,400 36.250 36,000 35,700 35.400 35,000 34.000 34,300 31,150 20. 29,110 27,620 27.784 2?. 100 27,000 38 26.S72 27.675 26.137 25.300 t will here bo seen that our home millers ve had two good years as far as outmit Is neerneo. aitnough there are many who com Mn that the Increased homo competition, that tJ say, the competition of the big port mills. worse than the American competition, which Iter Is no longer acute, tho American article ing nearly .always maintained at a price ie equal to that of the home-made flour. p:cn was by no means the case formerly. FLOUR. FEED. ETC The local flour mar- t remains strong and active. From an ex Kt standpoint, there is nothing new to re- rt. Both Japan and China are buying, but t heavily, apparently for the purpose of fill- up depleted stocks of certain brands. The pr talk appears to have had no market ef. ct on prices, as Japan filled up on flour long p. In anticipation of the event. The feed taarket is strong, end an advance 50c a ton is noted In bran and shorts. Hay a'.so firmer, barley U strongly held, and Ms are steady at the old quotation. WOOLThere is less activity In the Eastern ool markets. The American Wool and Cot- a Reporter ef the 14th said of Oregon wool the East; lOre son wool 'Is In small demand, but is In kht stock, and prices are firmly held. r,vi rle Oregon costs 50ffC2c. clean. About 5 -K pounds have been sold at lGtti7c in t' rease, to cost about a half-dollar clean. The Reporter quotes Oregon wools at Eastern aboard markets as, follows: Eastern staple. ijtfiic.

A weak condition was followed by length on the withdrawal of a large quan- y oi eggs irons local warehouses for salp- nts to Seattle and other points north. The crease In the supply of Eastern errs also jlped things. And the result was an advance a cents, wiucn. up xo tne present, baa en maintained. No one, however, is soecu- Ung on a further advance, as the probaci es are mat the market will go the other y The supply of eggs available on the fctslde is large, and liberal receipt from the natry in the next few cays are expected to ring the market downto the point where It k before. (Chickens show a barely ateadr tendency. with 12 cents "the top price. Supplies appear more than ample for present, requirements. Ducks, geese and' turkeys are quiet :and un changed. . The butter market drags along. In an nnln- teresting way. Giltedge creamery la firm, none too plentiful, and n strong demand tat the hlzhest Quotation. Second grades are a glut on the market, .and store butter Is only jasored , with great difficulty. Potatoes are in good demand for the local and snipping trade. If they are strictly first class. The bulk of offerings-are not VP to the standard, and are not readily taken, except at concessions. Onions are firmer, with a. bet ter all-around demand. Green vegetables are in the usual supply. except cabbage, of which there is a. shortage, and which commands a tetter price. Other kinds come from below, and are subject to the fluctuations of "the California markets. Celery of a proper slxe seems hard to -get, ; but the quality will probably improve from, i now on, as the drouth In the producing region In California has been broken. Especial firm ness is also shown in sweet potatoes. There is nothing particularly new in the fruit market. Oranges, lemons and bananas are in adequate supply, and apples are moving off fairly well. GROCERIES. MEATS. ETC. A half-cent advance in package coffee was the only change made In the staple grocery list in the- -past week. Sugar is steady, and rice shows signs of easiness. A 2-cent advance in turpentine and a 4-cent advance -In Unseed oil caused alterations in the list prices of these articles. .Livestock receipts have been moderately good, and -values have been maintained! In dressed meats a scarcity of veal is reported. Fork has been selling higher, but was in a little better supply yesterday. Mutton Is also quoted up a shade. Declines are noted in hog products of 14 -cent in local hams, and H-cent in bacon and dry salt meats. PORTLAND MARKETS. t Grain, Hour. Feed Etc WHEAT Walla Walla. 78c: bluestem.

Effect of Riimor of Decision In North ern Securities Case-Movement In the Pacifies. NEW YORK. Jan. 2a There was a fair degree of activity maintained "In today's -stock' market, and some show of strength, but the strength was fitful and spotty, and the market was viewed with some degree of suspicion by a large element of the traders on the floor. The upward tendency of prices met wltn some positive obstacles, and the character of some devices used to stimulate an upward movement aroused skepticism and" an unfavor able effect on sentiment. In spite of the higher range of-jrices sent over from London this mornlng.vand a much more cheerful view of the chances of peace from there, officially ex pressed In the decline of. war risks for marine insurance, there was free London selling in New York, which proved- troublesome to ab sorb. This seems to have been due to a re newal of a war scare in London, after our market opened. It affected wheat as well, but did not Interrupt the progress of the new high recora-making in tne cotton market. After the decisive reaction from this cause. prices picked up again when It became known that Northern Securities had been lifted over three points 'in the curb market on the circu- atlon of a confidential "tin" that the decision of the Supreme Court In the Northern Secur ities case had already been made, that It was not altogether unfavorable to the corporation. that it would be handed down next Monday; and that 'there had been a"leak" by which this Important information bad become -known to the tipster. Northern Securities lost half Its gain, and the total transactions in the stock in the narrow curb market did not exceed a few thousand shares, but the incident had considerable influence in the stock' exchange. Union Pacific, which would be most directly affected of any of th.e stocks now prominently traded in. was held back by the persistent realizing that kept a weight as well upon a number of other stocks recently active, but the influence seemed to pass over to its sub sidiary stock. Southern Pacific. There was no other explanation of the active speculation In that stock which carried it 1H over last night. A previous buying movement had carried Mis souri Pacific a point over last night- The only other stock of first Importance which gained a- point was St. Paul. In contrast with this was the persistent selling pressure on Rock Island and Amalgamated Copper, which car ried them a point under last night. Pennsyl vania, Union Pacific, Atchison and United States Steel preferred, while not forced far be low last night, were withheld from any ad vance by the same persistent selling. The Eries were also sold on the supposition that there would be no buying to secure control following the dissolution of the- voting trust. as was at one time believed. The local trac tions were reactionary when it became known that yesterday's) advances were based on the trip of inspection over the new subway line of. an Invited party of Influential capitalists. United States Realty preferred was marked up on very large dealings four points without explantlon. The late movement In Southern Pacific had a hardening effect on the market. but the closing was Irregular and below the best. The Northern Securities rumor affected the Burlington Joint 4s and the Oregon Short Line participating 4s. The United States Steel second 5s and the Rock Island bonds largely overshadowed the whole bond market. One or two of the speculative issues showed the effect of profit-taking, but the tendency was firm. Total sales, par value, $4,570,000. United States bonds were unchanged on call.

Demand Exceeds the. Supply and the Chicago Market Goes Up An- other Two Cents. CHICAGO. Jan. 20. The- wheat market was feverishly strong from start to finish today. The advance was due largely ty the same cause as the rise yesterday, the congested: con dition of the market, an enormous line of wheat for May delivery being held by Armour interests. Notwithstanding that aside from the Armour deal the. situation, -seemed bearish, opining prices were firm." May ranging from 83c to 0Qc An advance in the price of British consols indicated a more optimistic feeling in regard to the war situation. Rain in the Southwest, where the Winter Tjheat crop had -been suffering from "drouth, was an other bear Indication. No attention, however. waa paid to matters like consols or rain. It was a question of too small a supply ".for a liberal demand. The leader of the bulls showed no sign of parting with his holdings, - and, In consequence, smaller holders were en-, cpuraged to maintain a firm grip on what wheat they had. Offerings were, pn that ac count, extremely light, and w.ere eagerly sought for by belated shorts. The demand for May 'delivery was large. In their efforts ta cover, shorts advanced prices rapidly. Stop. loss orders, coming out oh the rise, accelerated the upward tendency. The market continued to gain strength as the session advanced, and within tho last five minutes of trading May had reached 0202c. a gain of 2c. The close was at 82c " Corn was strong throughout, the entire ses sion. A new high-record mark for May deliv ery was also made In this .pit. May opened a shade lower to a shade higher, and closed at 50c. The strength in wheat and corn- sustained oats, and prices made further gains. May opened a shade lower to a shade higher, and closed at 4242c Provisions were firm In tfle face of lower prices at the yards. The strong grain mar. kets were the principal source of strength. The close was firm, with May pork up, with lard and ribs each 2c higher. The leading futures ranged as follows: WHEAT. - Open. Hlrh. Low.

ELLENSBURG. Jan. 20. (Special.) The theme uppermost In the minds of the Kittitas farmers during the past 30 days or so has been hay, and many were the opinions expressed as to the result of the awarding of the bids for the Government's needs at Seattle. Before the time was set for opening these bids a few sales of hay were made at Ellensburg for $20 a ton. but very few let go at that price. Many offers of $18 were made, but they were almost In variably refused. The farmers were absolute ly certain that the Government would have to pay- $20. and they felt secure In their sizing up. of the' situation. When Seattle failed to land the prize. It was pretty generally con ceded that there would be a slump, and this week the price has been quoted at $15615.50 for prime Kittitas timothy, and. as a result, there Is great disappointment. However, the hay is moving, and it Is predicted that most. If not all. remaining In the valley some 15,000 tons will probably go at that price, or even less. The Winter has been a remarkably open one. so that the sheepmen have not had to feed at all, and cattlemen only fed for the purpose of pushing their animals to market. This open condition also -has a depressing effect on the price and causes most of the holders to look with a good deal of favor on the $13 proposition. Broaden Scope of Trading. NEW YORK, Jan. 20. Plans formuMted-recently to broaden the scope of tradingln the New. York grain market have been unanimous ly adopted at a meeting- of the grain trade at the Produce Exchange. The report of the committee on grain recommending the estab lishment of new grades was approved after an addition authorizing the grading of Western rye. The principal feature of this plan is the extension of the New York delivery system to Buffalo, so that grain can be delivered at that point on New York contract. The recom mendations are to take effect February L Nerw York Cotton Market. NEW YORK. Jan. 20. Cotton prices sur passed all previous records since war times again today, when March sold at 14.48c May at 14.54 and July at 14.61c The further ad--vances were attended "by considerable "activity and excitement, but the market soon "became quieter, and it seemed that the trading was more largely for professional than for public account. The opening was firm at an advance of from 13 to 23 points, following cable, about 10 points better than expected, reports of "con tinued good spot demand and estimates point ing toward continued light receipts. The initial advances, however, added to the gains of the last two days meant a net ad vance of nearly of a cent a pound.
