RIENT BUYS FLOUR
Awakening of the Export De
mand Causes Hope.
'of large shipments later
Steady Improvement In Nearly AH
Lines of Local Trade, Except
Produce-Decline In Butter
Mohair Held Too High.
Reports from nearly all lines are of a better
volume of trade In the past -week than at any
lime since the year opened. This -was due
In large part to the breaking up of "Winter
conditions and the return of settled -weather.
Beyond an improvement in the Oriental in
quiry for flour, there were no Important fea
tures to local business. Green produce and
fruits are arriving freely and easily disposed
of. Dairy produce has dropped nearer lta
actual value, which should stimulate the de
mand for It. Trading In mohair la checked
by the difference In the views of buyers and
sellers. Wool Is beginning to arrive in small
lots. Hops are dull and apparently weaker,
&nd the cereal markets are all quiet.
"WHEAT There Is no demand for wheat at
present, either for export or milling purposes,
end the California Inquiry, which was no
ticeable last week, has also fallen off. Prices
are nominally a shade lower. In view of the
elump in Eastern and foreign markets. On
an export basis, club is quotable here at 73
74 cents and bluestem at SI cents. A little
Valley has, changed hands between SI and S3
cents, and some sales to country millers were
reported as high as 85 cents.
Market conditions In Europe were reported
by J. TV. "Rush, of London, In the Northwest
ern Miller of April 13, as follows:
"The wheat trade has displayed decidedly
more firmness this week, notwithstanding lib
eral shipments. The market has, to a great
extent, been relieved from the pressure of
resellers, and the bona nde consumptive de
mand Is again making Itself felt. The actual
demand for foreign wheat by the European
importing countries this season is, as I have
Irequently pointed out. much larger, prob
ably, than many suppose. So far this season
the "United Kingdom alone has consumed not
..less than 530.000 quarters a week, and for the
remainder of the season will not be less than
C20.000 quarters a week, of foreign wheat
alone. An equal quantity per week has been
consumed by continental countries, and may
probably bo increased during the next Ave
months, so that we may say a minimum of
3,050,000 quarters to 1,075,000 quarters a week
will be required.
This Is an enormous amount of wheat, and
with America and Canada evidently able to
supply only 150,000 to 200,000 quarters a week
it is obviously necessary for very large ship
ments to be forthcoming from Russia, Argen
tina and India. It is, I must confess, not
quite clear to me that this enormous amount
will be easily procurable at the present level
of price, and I am, therefore, not surprised
to And the market in a very susceptible con
dition, the more so as tho prospects of the
American "Winter wheat crop are apparently
so unfavorable.
The following Is the corrected return of

Perhaps the most striking proof of the large
consumption this year and possibly of the
over-estimation of the world's crop In the past
year is to bo found In the return of the
world's visible supply on April 1. which is re
markable for its mediocrity In this supposed
season of abundance. Below I give the prob
able totals for April 1 this year, compared
with the previous 11 years, in quarters, hun

This little statement is the best guide that
I am acquainted with of the world's prob
able wheat supplies as affecting prices; in
years of superabundance like 1893. 3894 and
1895 and particularly 1900 and 1901. supplies
in actual sight were large enough to depress
prices, which was, in fact, the actual result.
FLOUR, FEED. ETC.-There appears to be
an awakening of tho Oriental demand for
Oregon flour. After several months of Inac
tivity, orders are beginning to come in, though
In a small way, which promises a fair amount
of business later on In the season. Nothing
is being done now with the United Kingdom,
as buyers and sellers are apart in their
views. Locally, the flour market Is la satis
factory shape.
Mill feed is also moving well, and at Arm
prices, as supplies are limited. Oats have a
weaker tone, as offerings in the last few days
have becomo more numerous. Barley, Is quiet
and steady and hay slow and about as last
quoted. Some farmers are still holding their
hay at high prices, expecting that if the Gov
ernment contract comes here prices will ad
vance. The bidders, however, are amply
supplied for all requirements.
HOPS No spot business was reported in
hops in the past week. The market appears
to have a weak undertone and any business
transacted would probably have to be at con
cessions from former quotations. A few con
tracts were reported at 1617 cents. Eastern
markets are reported dull and unchanged. The
"Watervllle Times says of crop conditions In
New York:
"The 6eason is very backward hereabouts,
and while come of the growers are working
in their yards, the ground is very wet and
sticky, making grubbing very disagreeable.
Tho meager reports from the yards are to
the effect that the hills are In good condi
tion, having "Wintered well. A scarcity of
roots so far is reported, but when work is
more general there may be more roots on
the market.
"Wild, Neame & Co., hop factors, London,
report: Trade is very quiet and though there
is rather more disposition on the part of
consumers to deal, It has as yet had little
effect on our market.
"W. H. & H. LeMay, hop .factors, London,
report: The market wears a holiday aspect,
Just a little consumptive demand at current
prices. Imports are now very light.
"WOOL A little Valley wool Is'comlmr to
hand and 4s being offered at 16 cents. Wool
from east of the mountain so far has been In
very Usbt "receipts. Eastern markets con
tinue quiet. The American "Wool and Cotton
Reporter of April 34 said:
"In Oregon wool there is still scarcely any
thing doing, but ther Is no particular pres
sure to sell, as supplies are so small. Good
staple wool continues to command about 50c,
clean, and the grease price ranging between
15Q16c"
The Reporter quotes Oregon wools at East
ern seaboard markets as follows:
Eastern staple, 15il6c; Eastern Oregon
choice clothing, 14S15c; Eastern Oregon aver
age. 13314c; Eastern Oregon heavy, 3213c;
Valley Oregon No. 1, 2021c; Valley Oregon
No. 2, -2323&c; Valley Oregon No. 3, 21
22c; Valley Oregon lambs, 1&917C
Mohair quotations In this state are held by
buyers to bo too high. At the McMlnnville
pool sale Tuesday, 31,000 pounds was offered
and 32U cents was the highest bid made. The
growers declined to accept this bid and are
now trying to sell the lot at private sale.
PRODUCE Early In tho week all the Port
land creameries that had not done so before
lowered the price of butter to 27fc cents.
Valley butter is quoted by commission men
at 22H25 cents and California at 22H cents.
Even at these prices, which aro lower than
a week ago, the movement Is not yet satis
factory, considering the large supply com
ing in.
Receipts of eggs have been somewhat larger,
but a fair shipping demand has sprung up,
and this, with the good city inquiry, has
helped maintain prices firmly. Poultry has
been unusually scarce and high.
Green California produce, brought by
steamer, has been abundant this week, and
such of it as was in good condition has sold
readily. A good part of the shipments, how
ever, have been received In bad order, and
Front street men aro complaining loudly of
the matter. They are going to make an offi
cial protest to the O. R. & N. against the
way this produco is stowed in the steamers,
and unless they get Justice, will patronize tho
Independent steamer lines.
A few strawberries have been received and
sold fairly well at the top prices to be ex
pected at tho opening of the season. Oranges
and lemons have come in abundantly and
have been In strong demand. A small supply
of bananas Is being carried.
GROCERIES, MEATS. ETC. The grocery
trade, as a whole, showed much improvement
In the past week. No important price changes
were reported, beyond a cut in salt.
Heavy receipts of hogs at the Portland
stock yards caused weakness and lower prices.
Cattle and sheep were in average supply, but
the demand was quiet. Dressed pork and veal
are both slow of sale, abundant and easy in
price. Local hog products have not been
changed this week.

BAES. SNOW AND LOWER PRICES.
Improved Crop ITosiMJcts Result In Weaker
Markets at Chicago.
CHICAGO, April 20. Moisture In the shape
of rain and snow from the Rocky Mountains
to the Ohio River satlsfled a long-felt want
In a considerable portion of the territory af
fected and caused a shade of weakness over
the opening trading in wheat. Damage re
ports from Ohio came In early In the day and
held the market temporarily in check. The
opening was fcc lower to ifc higher at S5Kc
to S5c Influenced by tne Ohio news, n
number of pit traders covered short sales. The
demand forced July up to SOc Sentiment
soon became decidedly bearish on the Im
proved crop prospects in the Southwest. The
market suddenly became weak for May. From
91Hc May declined to 89c. carrying along In
the downward course the moro distant deliv
eries. There was some good buying of July.
The prevailing opinion seemed to bo that the
liquidation of May practically ended opera
tions In that option. The market continued
weak the remainder of the session. July
closed at 84!S3c May closed at SOlSc.
The feature of the trading In corn was
the heavy liquidation of May delivery of the
heavy holders. July opened HQMc lower to
a shade higher at 40HO495tc, and closed at
4S5iC48c May closed at 4SXc
Oats were firm early In the day under the
Influence of an improved cash business and
extremely light receipts. The closo was near
the bottom with July at 37c and May at 37i4c
Higher prices for hogs brought out a good
scattered demand for provisions during the
early part of the session. Offerings wre light
in consequence and the market ruled Arm.
Later in the day, however, tho extreme
weakness in wheat and 'corn caused liberal
selling by pit traders, resulting in an easier
tone. The close was about steady, with July
pork down 67Hc July lard unchanged and
ribs a shade advanced.

CAUSE OF STAGNATION
OPERATORS AWAIT OUTCOME OF
NORTHERN PACIFIC CONTEST.
New York and London Stock Mar
kets Both Unsettled-Fall in
Steel Preferred.
NEW YORK. April 20. The volume of deal
ings In stocks dropped oft again today and
the price movement become slower and the
market sluggish. These characteristics gained
force as the market got away from last night's
level, either above or below, until the move
ment came to a standstill, and then turned
feebly in the other direction. The action of
the market thus plainly Indicated the opera
tion of room traders of a small class and of
timid convictions.
The new direction to be taken by the con
test for control of Northern Pacific Is the
subject most largely discuosed by specula
tors, and the opinion is quite universal that
this Influence Is tho cause of the stagnant
condition of the market. This feeling finds
expression In London, as well as here. On
the occasional upturns of the course oi
prices today, however. It was quite notice
able that the Pacifies were Inclined to take
the lead of the movements.
The report of rain In the western portion
of tho Winter wheat belt may havo bad
some Influence upon the group, but these
stocks yielded again. The further depression
In United States Steel preferred bad an un
doubted sympathetic effect on the whole mar
ket, the more so as its source and motive
were not clearly understood. The market
closed dull and weak.
Bonds were dull and heavy. Total sales, par
value, $1,700,000. United States 2s coupon

PE0P0SES PREE PEREY.
Joseph Paquet Has Scheme to Relieve
Residents of East Side.
Joseph Paquet Is working on a scheme
to get a free ferry started from East
Morrison street to land at Stark street on
the West Side. This ferry as proposed
v.ill be limited to pedestrians. Mr. Paquet,
who has proposed the scheme to the
County Court and the Executive Board,
says that several craft can be chartered
to run at a reasonable charge for the bene
fit of footmen while the Morrison bridge
is closed, and that many hundreds will be
benefited. The landings on both sides of
the river are ready. Those with whom Mr.
Paquet has talked in central East Pert
land favor the project.
Mr. Paquet says the cost of operating a
free ferry would not be excessive. Al
ready the business houses on East Morri

FIRM FOR GOOD STOCK
CONDITIONS IN SAN FRANCISCO
POTATO MARKET.
Heavy Receipts of Ordinary Oregons
Cause Drag-Shipments of But
ter to Puget Sound.
SAN FRANCISCO. April 20. (Special.) Be
sides yesterday's largo arrivals by steamer,
over 4C00 sacks of Oregon potatoes came by
rail overnight. The bulk of these supplies
were very ordinary, causing a dragging mar
ket. The sales ranged from $1.50 to $1.75.
Had strnctly fancy been obtainable, buyers
would readily have paid $1.80 and upward.
Such stock Is wanted and shows no weak
ness. Conditions are favorable for a Arm
market for good potatoes. Stocks of River
Burbanks are small and strongly held In a
few hands. Oregon onions are dull and nomi
nal. Early vegetables were In moderate sup
ply, on account of tho recent rains, and gen
erally firm.
The orange market Is still depressed, with
too much poor stock offering. Twelve carloads
of navels auctioned at 40 cents to $1.05.
Green bananas were more plentiful, but rlpo
were scarce.
Whealj and barley were lower for spot and
futures on favorable crop prospects and drop
In distant markets. Oats were steady. Flour
was easy. Bran was in light supply and
firm. The Government awarded the contract
for 2400 tons of hay to two local firms at
$17.50. This had no effect on prices, as tho
Arms have enough hay to fill contracts, but the
market is steadier. Some inquiries for hay
are coming from Seattle.
Butter was easy, but more demand was re
ported. Shipments to the Sound by today's
steamer. were larger and the South Is bidding
slightly below market rates. Cheese Is easy.
Eggs are steadier. Receipts, 77,000 puonds
butter, 44,000 pounds cheese, 40,000 dozen eggs.
